What Zhang Yiyan knows can be found out from the mouths of the villagers in the third village of Sin Village.

   Now the Fu family is in the fourth generation of exile, and few people know about the crime of his family's exile, but some people who were exiled at the same time still know about it. Zhang Yiyan happened to find out. In terms of understanding of the Fu family, he is deeper than Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun.

   Because the Fu family had never been in contact with them, they subconsciously thought that there was no one in the Fu family's family. In fact, the real situation was similar.

  Zhang Yiyan saw that they didn't know anything, so he started from the beginning, "The ancestors of the Fu family used to be a family of scholars, and they became an official after being admitted to the jinshi examination. It is said that they had a major dereliction of duty, so the whole family was exiled here..."

   Scholars are generally weak, and in Qiongzhou, there is no rank at all, they are all sinners, and they all need to pay high taxes.

The ancestors of the Fu family don’t even talk about fishing. They can’t even grow the land well. The money they bring in privately is quickly used up. Apart from paying taxes, they don’t have enough food every year. difficulty.

   So the first generation of the Fu family passed away soon, leaving behind their newly grown son, Li Baolu's maternal grandfather.

   It was over when Grandfather Fu managed to marry a daughter-in-law to continue his bloodline. At this time, his accumulation was just enough to make himself and his family barely enough to eat.

Grandfather Fu has a son and a daughter. The daughter is naturally Li Baolu’s mother, Mrs. Fu. Mrs. Fu is the eldest sister, only two years older than her younger brother. In addition to reading, the Fu sisters and brothers are also very talented in farming and fishing, at least more powerful than their father.

   When the two children became stronger when they were thirteen or fourteen, Grandpa Fu was not only not because the two children were poorer, but because they had a better life.

But even better, their family couldn't afford to marry Uncle Fu. Zhang Yiyan glanced at Li Baolu carefully and said, "I heard from those older villagers that Mrs. Fu didn't marry Li until she was over nineteen. It's because my grandfather wants to keep her for a longer time and do more work for the family, so the relationship between their father and daughter doesn't seem to be very good..."

   In this sinful village where she was about to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, it was too strange to keep her daughter until she was nineteen. Even outside, it is difficult for a woman to marry after the age of eighteen.

   And the Fu family has reached the third generation. After another generation, they will be able to move out of the crime village and be free. It is said that Fu's situation is easy to talk about, but unfortunately...

   "What about my uncle?"

   "Dead," Zhang Yiyan lowered his head and said, "My wife's mother died before the shipwreck, and she went to sea to fish and couldn't come back."

  Li Baolu was silent.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yiyan still said: "It is said that the wife's mother can marry your father or the master of your uncle, and now there is only one male left in the Fu family, that is, your cousin, but he is only seventeen years old. ."

  Fu Dalang is only two years older than Li Baolu. He was only two years old when Uncle Fu died in an accident. Later, his mother took him with him, but his mother remarried when he was eight years old.

Fu Dalang has always made a living by picking up sea goods. He has no boat and can't afford a fishing boat, but when he grows up, he can farm by himself. He can live until now.

   Zhang Yiyan was deeply impressed by him because he came to sign up when he took the spinning machine to the third village of Sin Village to promote it, and also wanted to bring a spinning machine home to spin fabrics by himself.

  The people spinning were all women, and this was the first man to lead the loom. Zhang Yiyan asked Zhiniang to teach him for a few days, but when he saw that he couldn’t learn anything, he rejected him.

   He was very disappointed at the time, and his entire back collapsed when he left. Even though he was only a seventeen-year-old boy, he was even more drowsy than an old man, and his entire back showed an air of despair.

   Zhang Yiyan suggested to let him grow hemp, and then sell the hemp to Zhiniang, so he could earn some money.

However, Zhang Yiyan asked him about his situation later. His hemp business was not very good, and everyone kept the price very low. After all, hemp is easy to grow, and every family grows it. Come, let alone buy hemp.

   His status is already good, and it is said that he can take hemp out and sell it to the weavers outside, but when everyone heard that he came from the village of sin, they all avoided it, let alone buy his things.

  It is also Zhang Yiyan that they hold the lifeblood of others, and people outside do not dare to reveal them even if they despise them.

  Li Baolu finally decided to go to the third village of Sin Village to take a look. Li Jun said it was right. The grave is a big deal. Since there are still people in the Fu family, they should be invited, no matter what kind of grievances their mother had with them.

It is not far from Wucun to Sancun, and it only takes less than half an hour to take a carriage. Such a carriage rarely appears in Sin Village. Now it is near noon, everyone is enjoying the shade at home or under a tree, and they hear the sound of horses kicking They all ran out to watch.

   Zhang Yiyan led them to a stop in front of Fu's house.

  Li Baolu jumped out of the carriage and looked at the dilapidated thatched hut in front of her before she really understood what Zhang Yiyan said about the poverty.

   "You guys, who are you looking for?" A trembling voice sounded from behind.

  Li Baolu turned around and saw a ragged young man in a short jacket, tattered trousers, and holding a hoe? youth?

  Li Baolu looked at the thin young man, then turned to look at Gu Jingyun, who was the same age as him, smiled at him and said, "Are you Fu Dalang?"

  Fu Dalang tightened the **** in his hand and asked, "Who are you?"

   "I am Li Baolu, the daughter of the five villages of Sin Village."

  Fu Dalang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Li Baolu blankly, hesitated for a moment, and then called out, "Auntie?"

  Li Baolu knew at a glance that he didn't know anything like her, nodded slightly and said, "That's my mother."

  Fu Dalang relaxed slightly, glanced at her carriage in surprise, bit his lip hesitantly, and finally stepped forward to open the door of the house and said sideways, "Please come in."

Entering the door is the courtyard. Three thatched cottages stood side by side. Fu Dalang pushed open the door and entered the main room. Because it was a thatched cottage, it was low and cramped. The only intact stool was moved out for them.

   "There is only one stool, you will just sit on it." After that, he squatted on the ground and looked at them.

The fence of Fu's house was already crowded with people, and when they saw this, they couldn't help laughing. Some older people knew that Fu Dalang had not been taught, so they didn't know how to treat guests, so they could not help reminding: "Dalang, Go and boil some water for the guests to drink."

   asked the people next to him to go home and get three stools for Li Baolu and others to sit on.

  Fu Dalang hesitated and got into the low kitchen and started to boil hot water.

   Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun and followed him in, while Gu Jingyun thanked everyone in a round.

   Someone took the opportunity to ask: "Young master looks like a nobleman, why did he come to our place? Could it be that the hometown of the Fu family came to take Fu Dalang home and enjoy it?"

   "Fu Dalang is already sixteen years old, and he is the fourth generation. He can leave the sin village. If the Fu family comes, he can leave Qiongzhou directly. This is also very lucky, right?"

   As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes couldn't help being warm, and they looked at Gu Jingyun with piercing eyes.

The most common dreams of exiles here are: First, the world will be amnesty, and they will be among the pardons; second, they will return home after going **** luck; third, their relatives or clansmen will find them, even if they can't pick them up. You can also leave them money.

  Why are the fourth generation of people who have turned good but do not leave Qiongzhou, but go to live in Xiangshan Village, which is also discriminated against?

  Because they don't have capital, they can't cross the sea, and they can't survive outside, but it's different when relatives come to pick them up.

   As long as they can get out...

Gu Jingyun said with a light smile: "It's not from the Fu family's home, but a relative of the Fu family..." He walked over to a few older elders and smiled: "My wife's grandfather's family is the Fu family, and my mother-in-law is the Fu family. Li Fu from the five villages of Sin Village."

   "Yeah, it turned out to be the daughter of the Fu family who married into Wucun. I know that girl, but she is a good and capable girl. How is she doing now?"

   "Pharaoh, you forgot, that girl died long ago. I heard that there is only one girl left, similar to Fu Dalang, but now it seems that she has survived."

Gu Jingyun said regretfully: "My wife was really young when my mother-in-law went, so I don't remember anything about my grandfather's house. When I came back to pay homage to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I heard that my grandfather's home was in Sancun, so I came to see it. , I just didn't expect that there was only one cousin left at home..."

   There are people in the know who are talking about the old things about the Fu family for him, and Li Baolu in the kitchen is looking down at Fu Dalang's busy life and boiling water.

  The kitchen was empty, not to mention oil, not even a piece of salt, and the yellow mud on the walls peeled off, revealing holes where you could stick your head out.

  Fu Dalang saw Li Baolu looking at his kitchen, he couldn't help blushing, he lit the fire with trembling hands and wiped his face, "You, are you married to someone else as a concubine?"

  's voice trembled a little, but Li Baolu could still hear it clearly. Her face darkened, she shook her head and said, "No, it's my husband outside, and Mingmi is marrying. Why do you suddenly think I'm a concubine?"

  Fu Dalang lowered his head deeply and said, "You are only the third generation of your family, that's why I think..."

   only thought that she had a good life now because she was a concubine.

Now there is no one in the sin village who does not know Zhang Yiyan, and everyone who knows Zhang Yiyan knows that Gu Jingyun is standing behind him, and she is naturally known to most people, she thinks that Fu Dalang knows her, "Have you never heard of me? "

  Fu Dalang shook his head.

   Li Baolu didn't mind either. She squatted beside him and watched him burn the fire. After a moment of silence, she said, "I am a good citizen now. I want to move my mother's grave, and I may rarely come back in the future. Do you want to come with me?"

  Fu Dalang looked at her blankly.

   "You are already the fourth generation, and you can improve. As long as you have money to leave Qiongzhou, you don't have to go to Xiangshan Village."

"I don't dare, and I won't give you too high a promise. I can only guarantee that after you follow me out, I will arrange a job for you. If you can't, buy a few acres of land to cultivate. The taxes outside are lighter than those in Qiongzhou. , your life will be much better."
