Chapter 476 Chapter 477 Robbery of Civilian Men
Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia, "Is it difficult that the problem lies with the Zhang family? Let's go and ask Uncle Zhou and we will understand."
The two went to the front yard and asked Uncle Zhou about Zhang Defa's family.
Uncle Zhou said to the two of them: "Someone in the village met Zhang Defa and found out that Zhang Defa was carrying work for others, Chen Zhaodi was helping people wash clothes, Zhang Guisheng's leg was broken by a mule cart, and Zhu was beaten by their family and ran away. Well, Zhang Guixiang was sold to Zhang Guisheng for leg treatment, and everyone in the village was talking about the retribution the Zhang family had suffered."
Li Yu heard that Zhang Guisheng was lame and looked at Zhou Jia, "Ning Xiangjun, that crazy woman, will you use the fact that Zhang Guisheng is lame to slander us?"
Zhou Jia nodded, "Yes, the viciousness of these women is beyond your imagination. Maybe she has sent people to Tongzhou to find Zhang Defa's family."
Aunt He looked at Li Yu worriedly, "Madam, those people have dark hearts and their methods of harming people are insidious and vicious. We must be careful."
"Don't worry," Li Yu pondered for a moment, "Let's ask my aunt and uncle to publicize the Zhang family's betrayal of trust, conspiracy to seize my family's property, and abuse of me and Ah Qing. When the Zhang family comes, even if she really brings the Zhang family to Kyoto asked the Zhang family to slander and cause trouble. Everyone already knows the cause of the matter, and it can no longer arouse the interest of others. "
Zhou Jia agreed: "Yes, everyone has preconceived notions. Let's cut off her path to sensationalism first."
Uncle Zhou and Aunt He were relieved when they saw that they had discussed the countermeasures. Aunt He urged Li Yu: "Madam, you'd better go back and rest. It's important to take good care of yourself. Let the master tell Zhaocai and them to do these things."
Zhou Jia hugged Li Yu and walked back, "Madam, you go back and rest while I go to my uncle's house."

The next day, as soon as Mr. Ning Xiang got up and sat in front of the dressing table to dress up, Nanny Song reported to her in a low voice outside, "Madam, Mrs. Xu sent her mother-in-law here and said that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Feng had told her , will not help spread the word in the future, and also said that Mr. Zhou went to the Yamen to warn their master, and Mr. Zhou also went to Mrs. Zhang’s house to cause trouble, and the masters of several families came to their home to settle accounts with them, and the family was already in trouble. "
Mr. Ning Xiang was so angry that he knocked everything on the stage to the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Bitch, I don't believe that your life is really that good. The man will always stand by your side. Mr. Yang is coming back soon. The Zhou family will stop first and wait until Mr. Yang comes back."
"Yes, madam." Nanny Song bent her knees and saluted.
Mr. Ning Xiang looked at Nanny Song, "What happened to the Yang family?"
Aunt Song glanced at Mr. Ning Xiang anxiously before replying: "Back to Madam, Old Man Yang is lying on the bed with a lot of air coming out and little air coming in. Young Master Yang said that if he forces him again, he will scratch his face..." ·”
With a "pop" sound, a tea cup hit Nanny Song on the shoulder. Nanny Song shivered in pain and quickly knelt down. Lord Ning Xiang looked at Nanny Song and said grimly: "Take someone to Yang's house and tell them Yang Yi, if he doesn’t agree to recruit a wife, he’ll have his face slashed, and if he does, I’ll spare him.”
Nanny Song endured the pain and said, "Yes, madam."

Ji Xiang brought Little Loach and Maodou to the Tongzhou Guild Hall and asked them to keep an eye on Li Fengqi. He went to Han San to check about the donkey rolling. Ruyi went to Lantern Alley and walked to the door of Yang's house and saw Yang's lantern shop. It's closed, and it looks like it's not even doing business.
Ruyi asked around, but most of them were unwilling to say anything. Later, a fat woman in her fifties or sixties came to the shop next to the Yang family and sat there looking at the shop.
Ruyi walked in, smiled at her and held her hands, "Grandma, could I ask you, why is the Yang's house next door not open?"
The mother-in-law glanced at Ruyi and smiled lightly, "His family is busy these days. I have whatever you want to buy."
Ruyi looked at it, bought a calf lantern and a tiger lantern, took a piece of fine silver and put it on the cabinet. She smiled and said to her mother-in-law: "Grandma, has the Yang family closed down?"
The mother-in-law sighed, "It doesn't matter. The elder in the family is sick, so we are all busy taking care of him."
Ruyi looked at her mother-in-law in surprise, and pushed back the copper coins she had asked for replacement, "Grandma, please tell me, did something happen to his family? I remember that his old man had a strong body! If he is fine, he will not be well. Woolen cloth?"
The mother-in-law happily put away the copper coins, pulled a bamboo stool for Ruyi to sit down, and said to Ruyi in a low voice: "Old man Yang got angry because of his grandson Yang Yi. People really live a long time." See you! In the past, I have only heard of people robbing civilian daughters, but I didn’t expect there were people robbing sons-in-law. It’s a pity that the Yang family is such a good family.”
Ruyi looked surprised, "Is there such a thing? This young man from the Yang family must be very good-looking!"
The mother-in-law nodded, "Yang Yi is good-looking, sensible and filial. Old Man Yang felt sorry for his little grandson, so he sent him to a private school. After studying for a few years, he saw that he was about to take the scholar examination, but for some reason he refused to go again. Fortunately, After studying for several years, I also learned some accounting skills. I worked as an accounting clerk in a cloth shop on the street. During the Lantern Festival, Yang Yi was busy helping in the shop. He was attracted by a lady who looked like a fairy and insisted on hiring Yang Yi. Yi is a door-to-door son-in-law,
The Yang family only has two grandsons, so how can they be willing to marry someone else? The little brother is not a family that cannot afford food, so who would be willing to marry his son to someone else? Do you think this is true? "
"What grandma said is that the Yang family can just tell the woman that they don't agree! Can't she still rob her?"
The mother-in-law shook her head and said: "It's not that simple. Yang Yi sent a lantern to the woman's house that day. He returned home in despair when it got dark. That night, he heard that Old Yang was ill and couldn't afford to go to bed. Several of us old neighbors went to see him. Old man Yang, Yang Yi's sister-in-law said that the woman said that Yang Yi had ruined her innocence and wanted Yang Yi to recruit a bride into her home."
The slut had the nerve to mention the word "innocent", Ruyi was so angry that she spat, "Bah! In broad daylight, in the clear sky, there are actually people who are robbing civilian men in the capital city!"
"What can we do? That widow is a powerful person. She just said that you have ruined her innocence and asked you to recruit a wife. I think the Yang family will lose their teeth and blood sooner or later. Yang Yi will have to be a door-to-door son-in-law."
After hearing this, Ruyi thought so. At this time, a burst of noise came over. Ruyi stood up and pointed in the direction of the sound, "Grandma, what happened?"
The mother-in-law looked over there with an indignant look on her face, "The house behind the Yang family's shop is probably where the woman came to force the Yang family to agree to marry into the family."
"That's it! I'll take a look and put the lantern here first."
The mother-in-law nodded and pointed to the alley ahead, "Just turn around there and you'll be there."
Ruyi walked quickly to the back door of Yang's house and saw that the courtyard door was closed. There was a burst of yelling and begging from inside. Ruyi stepped on the wall and climbed up the fence. He saw a woman with four people dressed as guards. Standing arrogantly in the yard, there were two nursing staff stepping on their feet, a man in his forties or fifties and a young man.
There was also a handsome man wearing a long muslin coat, standing there stubbornly with a knife. Ruyi thought he was probably Yang Yi, secretly saying that his appearance was indeed good, and his posture seemed to be disfigured.
