Starling took a sip of tea and said, "Fortunately, that guy is loyal and begged the boat boss to go down to save him." ”

Xiaoyu secretly turned his head to look at the boatmen, and then turned his head to look at the starling: "What happened later? Since it was one person who fell into the water, why did the last two people get wet?"

"The boss of the boat thought he was poor, and there was no benefit in saving him, so he refused to go into the water to save him. The fellow tied the rope and went down with the plank and fished him up. ”

Xiaoyu listened and turned her head to look at the boatmen.

When the big man at the head saw it, he immediately shouted evilly: "Little white face, look at what." ”

Hearing this, Xiaoyu hurriedly stood up, and said solemnly: "This brother looks quite like my second brother, but"

There was a lewd man beside the big man, with a thin and pointed face, with a few sparse beards, looking like a mouse stealing food, always a little sneaky, at this time he laughed when he heard this, his face showed a little disdain, and said teasingly: "Little doll, if you want to recognize your brother, just say it directly, why bother beating around like this." ”

Xiaoyu didn't get angry when she heard this, she shook her head with a smile and said, "My second brother will be here in a while, I'm afraid that you will be there then" Xiaoyu was gesturing with Xiaomu, and the fifth brother hurriedly stood up and grabbed her, and glanced at the big man idly.

Those boat bosses are also characters who travel south and north, what kind of characters have not been seen. Although the fifth brother was also wearing civilian clothes, his eyes and bearing were familiar to them, and he was also the kind of person in the yamen that they were extremely reluctant to deal with. Therefore, although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to do anything more, so he only snorted reluctantly in his nose and sat back down.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, but sat down and whispered to the fifth brother: "These boatmen are so strange, aren't they supposed to make a living on the shore?

The fifth brother shook his head and whispered, "Don't be nosy. ”

Xiaoyu pursed her lips and didn't speak again.

At this moment the merchant who was baking the fire and his men also dried their clothes, and went from the back to the cabinet and booked a room. Seeing this, the boatmen greeted them: "You fell into the river just now, if it wasn't for our brother who saved you, you would have drowned." I have to give some thanks!"

The merchant trembled with anger, looked around, and saw that everyone was silent, and he was weak, so he had to find out a few coppers and hand them over.

The thin man stretched out his hand to take it, and his thin hand like chicken claws swept it up and down again, and then he squinted and said, "What? Your life is worth so much!"

The merchant was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly laughed: "It's really poor at home, so I left my hometown to beg for a living outside." ”

A dark-faced boatman next to him snorted coldly when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Can a poor family afford to live in such an inn?"

At this time, the man next to the merchant could not help but say indignantly: "I begged you bitterly at that time"

The merchant was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him, took out more than a dozen copper coins, and handed them over: "There are really no more." ”

These boatmen are still a little unwilling, and they are waiting to force him to take out more. Suddenly, Xiaoyu shouted: "Second brother, why did you come." ”

Because I heard Xiaoyu talk about this second brother just now, several boat bosses couldn't help but turn their heads to look over, and even those scholars couldn't help but look up.

The second brother was surrounded by these eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and looked at Xiaoyu and whispered, "Trouble again?"

Xiaoyu muttered in a low voice: "Where is there so much trouble for me, oh, someone is not convinced." ”

The leading boatman looked the second brother up and down, and couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly. The second brother also squinted at him when he saw it, and crooked the corners of his mouth with disdain.

At this time, Fang Zhun and Chen Peng also walked in with their brothers and their daughters, and the hall of the small shop immediately became crowded. When Xiaoyu saw it, she hurriedly leaned over to help her mother.

The boat boss frowned slightly, and quickly glanced at Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Lu. didn't dare to provoke again, a few people gave each other a look and walked out of the inn quickly.

When Xiaoyu saw it, he immediately ran to the window, hid himself and looked out for a while, then quickly returned to Chen Peng's side and whispered: "There is one left, I don't know who I fancied?"

Chen Peng followed her gaze and looked at the businessman, and then turned to look at the three scholars. Only then did he tilt his head and wink at Xiaoyu and said, "Whatever." ”

Xiaoyu shook her head and walked away.

After everyone had eaten and washed, Xiao Xia called Xiaoyu over and reprimanded: "Confucius said: 'Don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility.'" 'You're good, you have to go up and ask.' What do you think he is doing with such a reckless man? Don't stir up trouble for your brothers. ”

Speaking of the previous incident: "Not everything in this world can be solved with money. I also saw the man who worked as a day laborer in the countryside. ”

Xiaoyu was slightly stunned and looked at her mother curiously.

Xiao Xia sighed and said, "His sad face doesn't necessarily mean that he is short of money. ”

Xiaoyu looked at her mother blankly when she heard this: "He obviously scolded God and let him live a poor life." ”

Xiao Xia Pozi thought for a while and said: "Although his clothes are old, the fabric is good, and his wife can sell it to the city by making needlework and thread, and they can still live if they want to come." ”

Xiaoyu became more and more confused.

Xiao Xia paused: "For a person of his age, there must already be a few children below, and there are old people to support above." Naturally, there are more things to worry about. The health of the old man above will only get worse and worse, and the medicine stone will also be a big expense in the future. The children below grow up day by day, and they will also marry and have children. You do the math, these are all a lot of money, and it's no wonder that he feels embarrassed. ”

Xiaoyu bowed slightly when she heard this: "Isn't this fate? That rich man has that rich life, and it is not his money, but it can be picked up by him." The poor man may be poor, and the money that flew to his side was kicked away by him. ”

Mrs. Xiao Xia choked for a while, and she didn't know what to say. But Xia Xiucai on the side listened: "It's fate and it's not fate." ”

Xiaoyu stroked her chin and looked at her father.

Xia Xiucai said: "That second master Zhang has a flexible mind, and a pair of eyes are always looking around, looking for opportunities. ”

Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, he also looked at me carefully." ”

That Liu Sanzhen only thought that he had no money, although he was also looking for some short-term jobs to supplement his family's income, but unfortunately he was short-sighted, and he only lowered his head and stared at such a big road under his feet. How can you make money over and over again. He eats with you in that slap restaurant, has he ever seen you? ”

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "No, except for complaining to Xiao Er and bowing his head to eat noodles, he never raised his head." Hmm!" Xiaoyu thoughtfully left her parents' room.
