After hearing this, Jixiang thought for a while and felt that what the madam said was reasonable. Wouldn't it be better to let her live and suffer after she died?

Ji Xiang raised his hand and said, "Madam, I understand what you mean."

Li Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go and help too!"

After Mrs. Wang sent Li Yu away, she angrily went to Mrs. Lin's yard, hit Mrs. Lin with a cane, pointed at her and cursed: "You are a vicious woman, you can even kill your own sister. I was so blind that I agreed to let Zheng'er marry you..."

Mrs. Lin knelt on the ground blankly, letting Mrs. Wang scold her, not daring to respond, hoping that Mrs. Wang would calm down and spare her.

Old Mrs. Wang was tired of scolding her. She glanced at Mrs. Lin with disgust, turned around and ordered: "Mrs. Tang, pack Madam's things and send her to the family temple and not come out."

"Mother-in-law, please forgive me for the sake of my two children!" Mrs. Lin knelt down in front of Mrs. Wang and begged.

Mrs. Wang didn't even want to look at Mrs. Lin, "If it weren't for the sake of the two children, I would let you live in Zhuangzi today. You can pray for me in the temple honestly and leave one for the children." Good reputation, if you don’t want to go to the family temple, just take the divorce letter and leave!”

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin's face turned pale and she knelt there shaky. She seemed to have aged ten years, and muttered: "I'll go, I'll go."

On the morning of the eighth day of August, outside Tongzhou Gongyuan, there were crowds of candidates taking the exam and relatives sending them to take the exam. Liu Changmin, Zhaocai, A Lei and others also sent Li Qing and Li Fengqi to the examination room.

Li Qing looked at the few people and said with a smile: "Uncle, Brother Ah Cai, you all should go back! There is no need to stay outside. I am not a weak scholar."

Liu Changmin smiled honestly and waved his hand, "Aqing, your aunt told me to wait until you finish the exam before going back."

After hearing this, Li Fengqi also smiled and bowed to Liu Changmin, "Uncle, please come back! I'm fine."

"It's okay, I'll wait outside." Liu Changmin smiled and handed him the test basket in his hand.

Zhaocai looked at Li Qing with a smile, "Master Qing, I told you not to be too nervous. Madam said you are still young. If you can't do it this time, you can take the test again next time."

Li Fengqi looked at Zhaocai in surprise, but Li Qing laughed happily, "Okay, my sister is still open-minded."

The people who were escorting the candidates around were all surprised to see the fortune-telling, and thought to themselves: They can say such things on such a day, this family is so caring.

While they were talking, the gate of Gongyuan opened, and Li Qing and Li Fengqi walked toward the entrance of Gongyuan with their examination baskets in hand.

In the corner of the Gongyuan notice wall stood a down-and-out man with gray hair against the wall. He looked at Li Qing who was walking into the Gongyuan with dull eyes, thinking: How can he even participate in the college examination?

The man watched the confident and calm Li Qing enter the examination room, and then turned his attention to Liu Changmin, who was standing aside dressed as a rich man. He looked straight at him and murmured to himself: "Why..."

Liu Changmin noticed the man's gaze and turned around to see the man standing under the wall. When their eyes met, the man ran away in a hurry.

"Why do you think you've seen him somewhere? Liu Changmin looked at his limping back and thought for a while but couldn't figure out where he had seen him before.

Zhaocai turned around and noticed that Liu Changmin's eyes were wrong and asked, "Master Gu, what happened?"

"There was someone staring at me just now. I felt like I had seen him somewhere before. I couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time."

"What kind of person is he? I'll catch up and see." Zhaocai asked cautiously.

Liu Changmin gestured to attract wealth, "Such a tall, lame man wearing an old gray gown with gray hair."

"You guys stay here and don't leave me to take a look." Zhaocai squeezed through the crowd and looked around.

I found the man Liu Changmin was talking about in front of the Confucius Temple, and slowly walked behind him, watching him limp to the two thatched houses in the corner of the West City, and then watching him stumble into the house.

Zhaocai quickly walked around to the back of the house and heard a woman inside complaining loudly, "Guisheng, where have you been this early in the morning? Your father twisted his waist while doing work yesterday, and you didn't even think about it." How can I help your father? Oh! Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. You won’t go to Gongyuan again, right? Now that you can’t take the exam, what else are you going to do? "

The woman was murmuring, and Zhaocai whispered to himself behind the house, "Guisheng? Guisheng," Zhaocai frowned and thought for a while before he finally got up, "Oh! Zhang Guisheng, doesn't he just dislike his wife and break off the engagement?" Marry someone else and steal the wife’s parents’ money from that family? Looks like you’re getting retribution!”

At this time, Zhang Guisheng's hysterical shouting came from the room, "How can I help you? How can I, a lame cripple, help you? Do you know? Who did I see outside the Gongyuan? Li Qing!" That little brat has gone to Gongyuan to take the college examination, and there is also his useless uncle, who is dressed like a dog and looks like a rich man. Look at how our family has become such a virtuous person. ?”

Zhang Defa lay on the bed and looked at the shouting Zhang Guisheng, and sighed heavily, "Guisheng, you know how to blame dad. What can you do with your old bones? Dad finally begged the shopkeeper of the grain store to let you do it. Mr. Accountant, you don't want to do it. The whole family relies on your father to carry out the work. Your mother washes clothes for others. Do you know that the food in the house is not enough? Dad can't move now. The family at the corner of Lantern Lane in the Grain Store It's your second uncle's house, go to him and ask him to borrow some money, buy some ointments for dad, and dad will put them on and go to work."

"Second uncle?" Chen Zhaodi walked to Zhang Defa's bed, "Second uncle also came to Tongzhou? I never heard of you."

Zhang Defa covered his chest and coughed a few times, and shouted at Chen Zhaodi, "Why do you want me to have the face to see him? What will I say if he asks about Guixiang and Guisheng? Say that Guixiang was sold by us, and say that Guisheng was born." Did your wife run away with someone like this?"

Chen Zhaodi also shouted at Zhang Defa, "What are you shouting at me? Didn't you spend money to marry that bitch to Guisheng? I said that bitch is a broom star, ever since he arrived at Lao Zhang's house, Lao Zhang It’s not easy at home!”

Zhang De was so angry that he grabbed the shoes beside the bed and threw them at Chen Zhaodi, "I didn't blame you, but you still dare to blame me. Guixiang was so spoiled by you that she lost all control. If she hadn't pushed that girl Li Yu into the bathtub, I would have If you don’t pay the money to the Li family, you won’t pay the money...”

"Stop arguing, I'm going to borrow money." Zhang Guisheng yelled at the two people who were making a fuss, rushed out to Lantern Alley, found the house at the corner, hesitated again and raised his hand to knock on the door, " Who is it?" A loud male voice came from the room, and then the door opened. A bearded man looked at Zhang Guisheng and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhang Guisheng saw the man and thought: Could it be the son-in-law of his second uncle's family? He cupped his hands at the man and said, "Brother, is Zhang Decai here?"

"Zhang Decai, are you talking about the family that originally lived here? The old couple left their house and went to live with his eldest daughter."

"Brother, does he know where his daughter lives?" The man shook his head, "I don't know. She has been gone for less than half a month." The man said and closed the door.

Zhang Guisheng walked back dejectedly. When he reached the corner, he saw a thin girl walking in front of him with a backpack on his back. Zhang Guisheng suddenly remembered the thin girl who was always timidly hiding in the corner and secretly looking at him. Inexplicable sadness welled up in my heart.
