[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash
Chapter 53 The Cowardly Wife 8
Zhang Xiu was busy until noon the next day, and finally arranged everything for everyone. She asked Fu Qiusheng to make a new roster for those who stayed, and then give them classes to brainwash them. Those who were willing to stay would be incorporated into Qinglong Village, and those who were unwilling to stay would be sent down the mountain.
In the end, no one wanted to leave, and they all knelt on the ground begging Zhang Xiu to take them in.
They all saw how powerful Zhang Xiu was and thought it was a good thing to have a capable boss in this chaotic world, so they all obeyed him and did whatever he told them to do.
Zhang Xiu pointed out a few yellow names and asked Fu Qiusheng to pay more attention. As for the women, Zhang Xiu took them back to Qinglong Village.
The women were all kidnapped to the mountains by the bandits. After all, few desperate criminals would bring their wives and children with them to become bandits.
This world is always particularly harsh on women. Even if they go down the mountain, it will be difficult for them to survive. Fortunately, there are no criminals in the mountain, so Zhang Xiu simply takes them back and lets Mao Sanmei deal with them.
Qinglong Village has a female leader named Mao Sanmei, and Fu Qiusheng is sympathetic to women because of his own experience, so the women living in Qinglong Village are treated very well. Although there are inevitably people like Li San who like to talk nonsense, they all have the intention but not the courage to do so.
Mao Sanmei is a chivalrous person who sympathizes with the plight of these women. She and other women in Qinglongzhai make arrangements for the new members. Zhang Xiu also points out several people with yellow names to her and asks her to pay special attention to them.
Zhang Xiu arranged the important matters, asked Cao Gui to take charge of the situation temporarily, and returned to Baihe Village first.
Cao Gui respectfully saw Zhang Xiu off, took off his hat and wiped the sweat off his forehead, admiring himself for his courage, as he had even wanted Zhang Xiu to be his wife.
Qin's father and mother had not returned yet, so Zhang Xiu simply cleaned the house, prepared some food for himself, and then returned to his room to sit cross-legged and practice.
The spiritual energy in this world is very thin. Zhang Xiu spent a lot of effort to successfully draw the energy into his body, but at most it can only strengthen his body. It is unlikely that he will be able to show off by riding a flying sword in this life.
The next afternoon, Qin Jinsheng returned with his father and mother.
At this time, most of the villagers were working in the fields, and only a few idle people were wandering around the village.
However, when they saw Qin Jinsheng, who was dressed in fancy clothes, they all stayed away from him.
As soon as Qin's mother saw Zhang Xiu, she nervously pulled her hand and led her into the house.
Qin's father, holding a bundle in his arms, followed behind Qin's mother with his head lowered. Qin Jinsheng looked around, then quietly closed the door and bolted it.
He didn't notice that Gou San saw all this.
Dog Three was idle all day long. No matter how his parents beat and scolded him, Dog Three still did his own thing and committed some petty thefts from time to time. He was really disliked by everyone.
He had met Zhang Xiu several times and even tried to chat with her, but was always ignored by her. Gou San was petty and felt that Zhang Xiu looked down on him, so he held a grudge against her.
Today he had wanted to go up the mountain to try his luck at hunting some rabbits or pheasants, but he saw the Qin family at the end of the village acting suspiciously, so he turned his eyes and sneaked up the mountain to look down at the Qin family's situation from the mountain.
Zhang Xiu keenly sensed the malicious intent, and before she could turn around, she was pulled into the house by Qin's mother.
"Master, Gou San is monitoring the Qin family." Lai Fu reminded.
Zhang Xiu narrowed her eyes and said, "I understand."
We have to find a way to solve this hidden danger.
Father Qin put the bundle on the table and opened it with trembling hands. It was full of silver dollars.
Qin Jinsheng whispered, "Sister-in-law, your ginseng is of very good quality. I found a pharmacy I knew and sold it for two hundred silver dollars. It's all here. Count it."
Zhang Xiu was a little surprised. She thought 150 silver dollars was enough, but there were 50 more. It seemed that Qin Jinsheng really put his heart into it.
After all, these days, buying a person only costs 60 silver dollars.
Zhang Xiu smiled and said to Qin Jinsheng, "Brother, what are you talking about? If I don't even believe you, who else can I believe? My parents and I don't know anyone in this town. If it weren't for you, how could we sell this ginseng for a good price? So I thought, I can't let you help me in vain. If you don't mind, take twenty silver dollars. As for the rest, let mother keep it for daily household expenses."
Before Qin Jinsheng could say anything, his mother shook her head and said, "You can't do this! You were the one who found the ginseng, so you should get the money from selling it. The boss just did his job, how could he take your money? Put the silver dollar away quickly!" As she said that, Qin's mother tied the bundle again and pushed it towards Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu thought about it and felt that if he really didn't take a cent, Qin's father and mother would definitely not agree, so he said, "Then how about this, big brother takes 20, I take 50, and you two can keep the rest. Think of it as a gift from me and Brother Shuisheng to you!"
The two sides pushed and shoved each other, and finally Qin's father and mother couldn't persuade Zhang Xiu, so they accepted it with blushing faces.
It was getting late, so Qin Jinsheng stayed at the Qin family for one night. Early the next morning, he took the village ox cart back home.
Qin's father and mother received such a large sum of money that they felt uneasy no matter where they hid it. Finally, Qin's father found a jar to put the money in, then dug a hole in the corner of their house and buried the jar in it.
Qin's father said to Qin's mother, "This money must be hidden well. If Xiu'er wants to get married in the future, give it to her as a dowry. If she doesn't want to get married, give it to her as retirement money!"
Mother Qin wiped away her tears and said, "It is really a blessing for our Qin family to marry Xiu'er!"
It was already noon when Qin Jinsheng returned home, and his wife Wang Yaner hurried to prepare food for him.
Qin Jinsheng grabbed Wang Yaner's hand and placed the cloth wrapped with twenty silver dollars in her palm.
"What is this?" Wang Yan'er was puzzled. When she opened it, she was dazzled by the shining silver dollar.
Nowadays, wages are low, and ordinary workers only earn about five dollars a month. Twenty dollars is no small sum.
"My sister-in-law is such a good person!" Qin Jinsheng sighed, "The third child is not so lucky."
Wang Yan'er and Zhang Xiu didn't have much contact, but after hearing Qin Jinsheng's words, she nodded.
What is Zhang Xiu, who is praised by the Qin family, doing now?
She is swinging on the swing with Dog Three!
After hearing about Gou San's plan from Lai Fu, Zhang Xiu decided to take action to resolve this hidden danger.
Gou San had been staring at the Qin family. He saw Qin's father enter the room with tools such as cans and shovels, and wondered if they wanted to hide some treasure. He originally planned to climb over the wall when no one was at the Qin family's house to look for it, but he was knocked unconscious before he could do so.
When he regained consciousness, he found his hands tied and his body hanging from a tree, with Zhang Xiu standing below with a smile on her face.
