The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Chapter 149

In Shenzhuang, the county government spread the news that Shen's father had been convicted of a crime and had been beheaded and executed.When the news came, Shen San fainted instantly, Shen Da was filled with grief and indignation, grabbed Shen San and beat him up.

Shen San was no longer able to take the imperial examination, and he didn't have to worry about Shen San at all, so he naturally wanted to vent his resentment, "If it weren't for you, who spent so much money on the family, how could I get that terrible thing! I didn't touch a coin My son’s glory will eventually hurt future generations, I pity my son! Before I started reading this book, my future is ruined! You give back my son’s official status! You give back my son’s fame!!”

Although Shen San's face was bruised and purple from the beating, his gaze was extremely cold, and he looked at Shen Da with a sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "Brother, do you think it's because of me that my nephews cannot take the imperial examination? It doesn’t make sense to say that you think too highly of your son, just to say that!”

"You still dare to be stubborn!" Shen Da raised his fist again, Li Zheng had already been called, seeing this scene, he hurriedly yelled to stop Shen Da from continuing to attack.

Only then did Shen Da throw away his hand, and Shen San staggered to the ground, coughing violently.

"Shen San, are you alright?" Li Zheng stepped forward and asked.

"It's okay." Shen San waved his hand and stood up. The originally clean and tidy clothes had already been replaced with coarse clothes. It was fine to get up on the ground and pat it. Shen San stood and looked at Shen Da coldly, the corners of his mouth still With a smile, but this smile makes people feel chills in the heart.

The Shen family!Sure enough, even the boss who seemed the most honest and honest, was very much like his cold-blooded and ruthless father, Shen San laughed so hard that tears almost came out of his eyes.

Li Zheng was terrified by his laughter, and couldn't help but stop him with a sneer, "Shen San, why are you so crazy!"

Shen San shook his head, gradually stopped smiling, looked up at Li Zheng, and said in a tone of despair, "Li Zheng, I want to separate."

He is fed up with this place, fed up with everything here, whether it was being forced by the whole family to take the entrance exam, or studying hard day and night with the hope of the family, or now, his future is ruined, his fame is taken away, and his relatives treat him as a filth. Trampled like mud, he had had enough.

He always thought that only Shen San has fame, and that without fame, Shen San has nothing, nothing, he is right.However, when he really lost his fame and was nothing, he seemed to have found some freedom that he had never had before.

"Lizheng, after the separation, I want to sell all the things I got. You also know that I don't know how to farm. I plan to go to the city to find a job to support myself." Shen San said.

His future is ruined, his reputation is ruined, even if he is a teacher, no one will want him, but he is still educated, and if he travels farther, to a place where no one else knows him, at least he can be an accountant or something. , It will never be as good as farming.

"Son! What kind of evil did you do! Why did you beat you like this? It's trying to steal my mother's heart!"

Shen San looked at Shen's mother's crying indifferently, and said lightly: "Mother, I want to go to the city to find a job and split up with my elder brother. Are you going to follow me or elder brother? Or, mother, do you want to find a job?" Second brother?" Shen San looked deeply, with a trace of irony.

Shen's mother thumped Shen San's chest twice, but in the end she was not willing to use her strength, "What are you talking about! Your daughter-in-law is not married, and your family is not successful. How can I rest assured? You still have to go to the city, who will tell you?" Do you wash clothes and cook?!"

Shen San didn't answer, but looked at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng also found it difficult, but he also felt that it would be good for Shen San to separate his family. Shen San didn't know how to farm, so going to the city to ask for a living was also a way, so he said, "Success, let's separate!"

"No, I don't agree!" Mother Shen poked her neck.

"How can you speak, Shen Zhibo is not here, your family's affairs are decided by your boss, and I, the patriarch, is here, so it's your turn to speak up as a woman?" Li was frowning, but Shen San didn't say anything.

"That's right, let's split up! Mother, I also agree to split up!" Shen Da had been waiting for this day, and was even more happy when he heard this, so he hurriedly helped, and it was useless for Shen's mother to object any more.

The Shen family split up quickly, and Lizheng bought the land allocated to Shen San as his own on the spot, and settled the silver with Shen San. Shen San held the few taels of silver in his hand, and did not say anything for a long time. In the past, this was just a portion of his money for going out to participate in the literary conference, but now, it was his entire net worth.

"Mother, who are you with?" Shen Da saw that the family was separated, he was overjoyed, and thinking about Shen's mother's destination, he asked.

Li Zheng scolded angrily, "Since ancient times, the eldest son has raised his parents and inherited the clan. Since you have taken the bulk of the family property, you should have raised your parents. What are you talking about!"

Shen Da shrank his head from being scolded, and muttered: "I just asked. The second child is the richest now, and the mother loves the third child the most. Who knows who the mother would like to live with."

"Who can I live with!" Shen's mother stared, "You are the boss, so you should support me, why, don't you plan to support me?!"

"How can it be! Mom, I'm different from my brothers, I will definitely support you." Shen Da hastily smiled flatteringly.

Shen's mother muttered, glared at Shen Da, and said: "I will go to the city with the third son to settle down first, and come back after he settles down. You don't want to drive me away!"

"Mom! You've already gone to the city, come back! The second child is also in the city! He's rich now..." Shen Dalian said hastily.

Shen San opened his mouth and was about to say something when he saw Shen's mother stare, "What?! Can't I just come back and live!"

"Okay, okay!" Seeing that Shen's mother was determined and Lizheng was also staring at him, Shen Da had no choice but to shrink back and accept his fate, how rich is the second child!I don't know what my mother thinks, but I don't want to go there.

Shen's mother took Shen San's hand and said: "You have made up your mind, mother can't hold you back, you can go to the city, you are not destined to farm the land, and finding something to do is better than being in the country, mother will follow you first Set up a good place, arrange it for you, arrange it, and then come back. Originally, I didn't worry about you alone, but you have little money and your fourth brother is young, so I can't let go of it. , I can only do this first, and I will run around diligently in the future, and take care of it for you."

Shen San opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a while, before saying: "Mother, I'll take you to the second brother's house, you don't have to worry about me and the fourth brother."

Shen's mother curled her lips, "That's a debt collector. He doesn't recognize his parents when he has money. What has he seen at home when he gets rich? He doesn't pay a penny, he's like an iron rooster. Besides, I'll make it up. It’s not safe to live here, what do you do here? I don’t even know that your fourth brother was beaten to death by your elder brother!”

"Mother, that's wrong, how could I hit fourth brother?" Shen Da said dissatisfied.

"Oh, co-author, you thought you were a good person! Seeing that your third brother asked you to beat him, it was done by his own brother. This is obviously an enemy..." Mother Shen pointed at Shen Da's nose and cursed, With the patriarch present and a hat of filial piety pressed down, Shen Da just shrank his head and let Shen's mother scold him.

Shen San looked at Shen Si who was lying on the edge of the door, his youngest fourth brother, who was looking at the room in panic, as if he knew that what happened in the room might affect his future life, Shen San walked over, lifted his He touched Shen Si's head with his hand.

"Third brother, are you leaving? Mother is leaving too?" Shen Si said in a daze.

Shen Si was young and mischievous at ordinary times. Shen San had always disliked this fourth brother, and he had never seen him so flustered and pitiful. Shen San thought about Shen's mother's worries. Planning to go to Shen Ling to live a prosperous life, at least, because he has sincerity for him, right?

He is the son who has poured the most effort into the family, and the fourth is the youngest son in the family. The two of them have always been the two most loved by Shen's mother. Shen's mother is indeed eccentric, but eccentricity is also sincere. At least Shen's mother is sincere to him and Shen Si. Loving and caring.

Shen San smiled, seemingly relieved, at least, someone was sincerely treating him, "Yes, I'm leaving, but mother won't leave, mother just left for a while, and will come back to take care of you."

Shen Si heaved a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to relax.

In the city of Huaizhou, the imperial envoy came and took a piece of jade pendant to the gate of the Mu Mansion. A piece of emerald jade pendant engraved with cloud patterns was placed in front of several family members of the Mu Mansion. Found it, whose is it?"

The more Mu Hongyuan looked at it, the more he felt that the jade pendant looked familiar. It looked very much like the one that Qing'er wore all year round, but the Mu family ransacked the house, and Qing'er's jade pendant was taken away by the government. Unexpectedly, it was taken by the imperial envoy. I also asked seriously.

Just as Mu Hongyuan was about to answer, he remembered Shen Ling's teachings for many days. After many days of careful carving by Shen Ling, a stone that is not enlightened will have a little bit of white marks. Just before he opened his mouth, Mu Hongyuan suddenly remembered Shen Ling's words, You have to think more before you speak, so Mu Hongyuan thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.

Is there something wrong with this jade pendant?Otherwise, how could there be an imperial envoy who took the jade pendant to ask specifically?Mu Hongyuan was a little flustered. The Mu family could not stand any more twists and turns at this moment. Mu Hongyuan subconsciously looked at Mrs. Mu. Such a jade pendant, so I don't understand why Mu Hongyuan looked at her, let alone answer.

On the contrary, Mrs. Mu saw that she looked familiar, but she didn't dare to say it, but her expression changed slightly. The imperial envoy turned directly to Mrs. Mu, "Is this lady's?"

"It's not mine, it's not mine!" Mrs. Mu hurriedly waved her hand, and she just passed the jail. Mrs. Mu's panic has not yet calmed down, she is very afraid of trouble, so she waved her hand in panic.

The imperial envoy slapped the table angrily, "Do you want me to interrogate them one by one!"

Mu Hongyuan was frowning. As the current head of the Mu family, he naturally couldn't let the imperial envoy interrogate his family, so he stepped forward and said, "I don't know what happened to this jade pendant? The imperial envoy came here in person?"

"You don't need to know what you shouldn't know, just tell the truth."

Mu Hongyuan closed his eyes. Many people in the family have seen Qing'er wearing this jade pendant. He couldn't hide it. Mu Hongyuan said: "This jade pendant is worn by one of my concubines. Madame is calling."

"Yes." The magpie quickly saluted and left quickly. The magpie had already been released from slavery, but the magpie was loyal in nature and was willing to serve the old lady in the Mu's house until she passed away, so she was still in the Mu's house.

Mrs. Qing was called by the magpie, and she walked towards the hall quickly. On the way, she asked the magpie about the matter. She was so frightened that she couldn't even walk steadily, but she was still supported by the magpie, "I don't know anything. , that jade pendant is not mine, it is my mother's, not mine..."

Mrs. Qing was so frightened that she almost cried, she could only mutter to herself, Magpie listened to Mrs. Qing's muttering all the way, and said: "It's useless for you to tell me, who knows where your jade pendant came from, to find trouble for the Mu family?" Humph! Don't drag us down!"

Mrs. Qing was even more frightened. She was already timid, and it was thanks to Mu Wu's care that she survived in prison. How could she survive such a thing.
