Chapter 151 The consequences

The two rested at home for another day before going to town.

　　Because of Xu Fu's incident, the work of building a house at home was suspended for two days. I went there today to inform Zhang Minjiang and the others that they can resume work from tomorrow.

　　The weather was getting colder, so the two of them packed up and waited until the sun rose before setting off with the bullock cart.

　　As soon as he went out, he met Zhao Le, who was leading Shitou over.

　　"Brother Nian!" Shitou shouted excitedly as soon as he saw him, "It's done. Now, all the girls and boys in the village and alleys talk about are your uncle's doings. That evil thing!"

　　"I see that no one dares to open the door of Ye's house today. At this point, the door is still closed tightly!"

　　"That's enough," Ye Annian patted him on the shoulder, "This is well done. When you come back in the evening, I will bring you osmanthus cake to eat."

　　"Add two more pieces of jujube cake." Zhao Le smiled mischievously.

　　"No problem." Ye Anyian responded.

　　"Okay!" Zhao Le smiled, "Then you go, I'm just here to tell you about this, and I'll also send you rocks to play with."

　　"Brother Stone!"

　　Fu Zai, who heard the noise, rushed out of the courtyard, followed closely by the enthusiastic copper coins.

　　The two people and the dog soon started playing together.

　　Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu drove away with the bullock cart, and Zhao Le strolled home after delivering the stones.

　　At noon, Yang Chi would bring little Lingling over. Ye Anyian gave him twenty coins a day and asked him to come over and cook a meal for the two children. He and Lingling also ate together by the way. There was rice, noodles, vegetables and meat at home, so you could eat whatever you wanted. use.

　　Yang Chi was alone at home with Lingling, but it was also deserted. The three children happened to be company, so he was happy to be lively. After dinner, he could make clay figurines, make bamboo dragonflies and other things here, and by the way, he helped Ye Anian and the others watch. Children are all about helping each other.

　　The two drove the bullock cart slowly out of the village. The golden sunshine shone on them, making them feel warm and comfortable.

　　However, the effect of the pills he took that day had expired, and Jiang Zhu's face began to look pale again.

　　Afraid that Ye Anyian would notice something strange, he specially wrapped himself in a cloak and drank some soup.

　　When they reached the halfway point, they put Tang Pozi in Ye Annian's arms on the pretext of being heated by the sun.

　　Ye Annian touched his hand that was warmed by Mrs. Tang. Without doubting his presence, he took it and held it in his arms.

　　But this time the poison attack was more severe than before. In addition, he went out again last night, and his internal energy was depleted a lot. The burning sensation in his chest became more intense. The repeated torture made him almost numb. .

　　Along the way, the two of them didn't speak much. Jiang Zhu excused himself as a little tired, pulled up the hood of his cloak, covered his face, and then leaned gently on Ye Anyian's shoulder.

　　Ye Annian was very happy that he could rely on him like this. Jiang Zhu had always taken care of him, and he never seemed to be tired or tired.

Now that he finally had the chance to take care of Jiang Zhu, he had to do the same, or even better.

　　Feelings are mutual, and you can't just let the other person give blindly.

　　When they arrived at the alley where Jiang Zhu often set up a stall, the man who was taking a nap on Ye Annian's shoulder with squinted eyes stopped the bullock cart.

　　Jiang Zhu got up from Ye Anian, took his medicine box, and pulled up his hood: "I won't go to the shop. I'll look for you at noon."

　　After saying that, he jumped off the bullock cart and left without looking back.

　　Ye Annian looked at his hurried away figure, with a flicker of suspicion in his heart, but when he saw him walking to the old place, moving out the wooden racks, setting up the stall, and chatting with Old Man Chen, he shook his head helplessly and smiled, driving the cattle The car left.

　　The "dah" sound of the oxcart gradually faded away, but the face of Old Man Chen, who was laughing and joking, turned serious.

　　"What's wrong with you kid?"

　　Jiang Zhu took out a handful of peanuts from the small bag hanging on his waist and stuffed them into Old Man Chen. He raised his eyebrows and said, "There was something going on at home the past two days, so I didn't come. Why, you're not popular, aren't you used to it yet?"

　　"Go~! That's not what I'm talking about." Old Man Chen rolled his eyes at him, "It's not a good sign that you are surrounded by black energy in Yintang!"

　　"It's normal." Jiang Zhu didn't take it seriously and joked, "Old man, it would be scary if someone like me shone with golden light."

　　"Don't talk nonsense!" Old Man Chen rarely said seriously, "Hand over and I'll do the math for you."

　　Jiang Zhu did not cooperate: "No, what can you calculate with your half-heartedness? Don't think about defrauding me of my money."

　　"Hiss," Old Man Chen gasped, "If I tell you to bring it over, just bring it over. There's so much nonsense!"

　　As he said that, he grabbed Jiang Zhu's wrist, pressed his hand on the stone table, opened his palm and looked at it.

　　This sight really startled him.

　　"What did you do, kid?!"

　　"What's wrong?"

　　"Why do you only have three years left in your little life?" Old Chen squeezed Jiang Zhu's hand, his eyes eager to see sparks.

　　"Hiss, I'm right, it's three years. Mr. Jiang, do you have some kind of terminal disease? Or did you do some bad things like murder and arson?"

　　Seeing his startled look, Jiang Zhu calmly took his hand back.

　　"You're so dim-sighted, who knows if it's accurate. Old man, don't worry about me."

　　He pointed toward the end of the alley and said, "Here, here comes the fortune teller looking for you."

　　Old man Chen looked in the direction of his finger. There was no one there, just a little pug running this way.

　　"Hey! You brat!" Old Man Chen was so angry that he slammed the table.

　　"Don't dogs count? Old man, you can't discriminate!" Jiang Zhu shouted, and had already slipped back to his stall, leaving old man Chen sighing alone.

　　I have to say that this old man is really quite capable. Calculating the time it takes for the poison to take effect, he may really only be able to survive for another three years at most.

　　If the poison has not been cured by then, what will Nian Nian do if he is alone?

…

　　When Ye Anyian rushed to Guangyin Shop, Wen Heng was also there.

　　As soon as I saw him coming, my eyes lit up with excitement, and I rushed out with a "Aoao".

　　"Big gossip!"

　　He shouted loudly, and looked behind Ye Anian. Seeing that Jiang Zhu was not there, he felt a pity: "Mr. Jiang is no longer lucky."

　　"What gossip?" Ye Annian found it interesting to see him like this, tied up the ox cart, and the two of them entered the shop together, "You tell me first, and I will tell him later."

　　"Okay!" Wen Heng had no intention of waiting at all.

　　After asking about it, he came early in the morning and waited until Ye Anyian showed up. He had reached his limit. If he didn't say anything, he felt that he would definitely be suffocated.

　　"It's the matter about the Zhou family and Xu Fu that you asked me to inquire about before!" Wen Heng blinked and looked at Ye Anyian, "What do you think Zhou is doing has to do with Mr. Xu?"

　　Seeing his excited look, Ye Annian felt that there must be some unusual relationship between the two of them, and asked tentatively: "Are they... distant relatives?"

　　Wen Heng shook his head, still looking at him expectantly.

　　Ye Anyian: "Then, was it Zhou Zaiqian who saved Mr. Xu?"

　　It's not always written like this in fiction books.

　　"No, they have nothing to do with each other!"

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　Wen Heng didn't see the speechlessness on his face at all, and continued: "Then what do you think is the relationship between Xu Fu and Zhou Rong?"

　　Ye Anyian was careful this time: "It doesn't matter?"

　　"They slept together! The child in Zhou Rong's belly was Xu Fu's!" Wen Heng finished speaking in one breath, staring at Ye Anyian's expression.

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　This news was really breaking, he really didn't expect it.

　　"But if that's the case, then why did Zhou Rong hook up with Ye Chenghe?"

　　"Hey, they were just flirting after drinking, and Xu Fu didn't like her at all. Zhou Rong pestered him with the child for a long time, and even dreamed of marrying into the Xu family, but Xu Fu ignored her at all, and later she wanted to fight her again. The child is gone."

　　Wen Heng looked mysterious: "Besides, early this morning, Zai Gan bought a lot of expensive gifts this week and took a carriage to Anxing County. What do you think he went to do?"

　　"Are you going to Xu's house?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　Also, the Xu family must be blamed for Xu Fu being beaten like that, and the Zhou family might not be able to escape, so it would be better to strike first and appear more sincere.

　　"Yes, but he didn't go to apologize." Wen Heng raised an eyebrow, "When he left the city, my father made an excuse and sent his servants to check his carriage. What do you think he brought with him?"

　　"What is it?"

　　"Two boxes of fine brocades and quilts, two boxes of snowflake silver, a pair of dragon and phoenix jade lamps, a pair of small mahogany cabinets, and many odds and ends, all in pairs."

　　"He is planning to marry his daughter off!"

　　Ye Annian frowned: "Maybe Xu Fu doesn't look down on Zhou Rong?"

"He is already disabled, so what else can he choose? Besides, what Zhou Rong has in her belly is Xu Fu's own flesh and blood! Xu Fu is paralyzed, and I'm afraid he won't have any more children. The Xu family's hope lies in this child. "

　　"Oh my," Wen Heng said, waving his hand, "Zhou is doing this old fox, and all the abacus beads have fallen off my face."

　　Ye Anyian said nothing, Wen Heng's words made sense.

　　As long as the Xu family doesn't come to trouble him, then they can do whatever they want, but if Zhou Rong really marries into the Xu family, it will not be a good thing.

　　His grudges with the Zhou family and the Xu family were settled. Although he forced Xu Fu to sign a settlement letter that day, it would be very difficult if the other party turned his back and refused to admit it.

　　If the Zhou family were to get married to the Xu family this year and the two parties joined forces, it would be very difficult for him and Jiang Zhu to deal with them.

　　Ye Annian thought about it and decided to talk to Jiang Zhu about this matter in the evening, and finally come up with a way to deal with it.

　　After checking the accounts for the past few days in the shop, and listening to Yu Hu talk about some trivial matters in the shop, Ye Anyian took Wen Heng to Mufang.

　　The order for this batch of Rubik's cubes will probably be completed by the end of the month. He plans to start teaching these carpenters to make wood carvings at the beginning of next month to prepare for the orders for the two zodiac signs.

　　After lunch, Ye Anyian stayed at Mufang all afternoon. He returned to the shop in the evening and drove the bullock cart to take Jiang Zhu home.

　　The two drove the bullock cart out of the alley. Jiang Zhu asked Ye Anian to buy some wine to store. Although Ye Anian was not happy and feared that drinking would hurt his health before he recovered from his illness, he couldn't help Jiang Zhu's insistence. Still agreed.

　　On the way to the wine shop, I happened to pass by Zhou Ji's pawnshop. There seemed to be a lot of people gathered around the place.

　　It was about the Zhou family, and Ye Anyian wanted to take a look.

　　Jiang Zhu stopped the ox cart and accompanied him.

　　Unexpectedly, when the two of them squeezed into the crowd, they saw that Zhou was acting a little crazy.

　　The Zhou family's carriage was still parked in front of the pawn shop. It seemed that they had just returned from Anxing County.

　　That week Zaiqian knelt at the door of the pawn shop, pounded the ground with his fists, and muttered: "It's gone! It's all gone!"

　　Someone watching the excitement was curious and asked: "Boss Zhou, what is missing?"

　　"People, people are gone! They are all dead! Hahahahaha!"

　　Zhou Zaiqian burst into laughter and gestured wildly with his hands in the air: "So many people... are dead! They're all dead!"
