After the police left, Rong Yuanhang wanted to comfort Yan Xiaodan, seeing her burying her head in Rong Wanlan's arms sobbing and crying, an unspeakable feeling welled up in her heart, these dangers were caused by herself!

"Xiaodan, don't cry, it's over, don't be afraid." Rong Yuanhang walked over and wanted to reach out and touch her and her shoulder. But Rong Wanlan cleverly changed her position with her daughter in her arms, avoided his hand, and said with a calm face: "Yuanhang, look at you, what kind of people have you provoked?" ”

Rong Yuanhang's face was hot, and he was speechless.

She said again: "In the future, you should look for my family Xiaodan less." It's not that my aunt is unreasonable, and it's not that I look down on people with snobbish eyes, but this is a fatal thing! You don't need to find our Xiaodan involved, right? Xiao Dan is innocent, if those people see that you have something to do with Xiao Dan, think about it, will she be unlucky? She's a girl, no more timid than you men, even if she sees a little bug, she will feel scared, let alone a big gang of black people? Big hooligans? Right? This time I was lucky....... ”

"Mom, don't say it!" At this time, Yan Xiaodan interrupted her chatter, and the pear blossom with the rain turned her face and looked at Rong Yuanhang, who had been training with a red neck, with a somewhat complicated expression.

Rong Wanlan patted her back distressedly and said, "Okay, okay, mom won't say, let's go home." …… Ahem, Yuanhang, you should rest early, it's not too early. ”

……

These things happened, and Rong Yuanhang lay in bed and couldn't sleep. "Will they trouble Auntie and them?" I always feel uneasy. Xu Xinran participated in it, because he was his hometown sunshine person, and it was not difficult to inquire about some of the situations in his family.

But he was lucky: he didn't come to look for him for several months, and he happened to meet him on the street yesterday, so he brought someone to the door. This also indirectly proves that Xu Ranxian may not have inquired about the situation of his family and went to find himself through his aunt.

If these potential threats are not eliminated for a day, Rong Yuanhang will not be able to feel at ease for a day. He couldn't help but sigh that if he couldn't even protect his relatives around him, and even lacked the ability to protect himself, it would be difficult for him to live in peace even if he had more money and wealth.

If you want to Yan Xiaodan again, she is even more depressed, after this incident, their family will definitely have prejudices against themselves, although Yan Wenli spoke decently, but it could be seen that he was already unfamiliar with his words. Rong Wanlan, in particular, thinks that she has something to do with the underworld, and even the money she makes is not clean. And Yan Xiaodan, although she can't see through her attitude, is she embarrassed to go to her without any worries as before?

All of this is a matter of their own strength! If you are a tiger, who would dare to come and brush the tiger's whiskers? Those cats and dogs are not far away when they see themselves? At this moment, Rong Yuanhang secretly made a decision......

……

The pear chair will also have to wait for an auction to be held a month later before receiving the money. There's nothing going on here, the old mansion in Xianyang City explained to the Li family yesterday, maybe she will tell Zhou Chuanxin to come over and help today. So I locked the house room, brought some daily necessities that I bought yesterday, and then brought silver to walk through the bedroom.

One day, when I stepped through the door of the plane, I could hear the noise of people in the courtyard outside. Rong Yuanhang hid the silver in a painted kang cabinet full of dust. After straightening the robe and Hanfu on his body, he walked out.

Of the five houses in this old house, the area of the second courtyard hall is the largest. It is composed of the lobby, the east and west wings, and the north main room, forming a large hall well, but this open-air hall well is not paved with masonry, but with a mud compacted ground. Over the years, the grass that grows on the ground is one or two meters tall - almost every hall is similar, overgrown with weeds.

At this moment, in the second courtyard, there are ** people doing work: some weeding, some cleaning the ground, and some cleaning up the rubble, and the whole scene is in full swing. Most of these people are young people, who talk and laugh and do their work without slowing down at all.

Rong Yuanhang saw Zhou Chuanxin with a smile at a glance. Then he cried out, "Messenger! ”

The whole scene was silent! Everyone looked at him as he came out of the backyard corridor. Wondering, how could this man come out of the backyard without a sound?

"Brother Rong, when did you come over?" As soon as Zhou Chuanxin saw him, he smiled happily.

This was difficult to answer, and Rong Yuanhang could only say with a smile: "Haha, I flew down from the sky, believe it or not?" Hehe, it's a joke. By the way, ...... they? ”

"Oh, they are all my companions and good brothers from childhood to adulthood," Zhou Chuanxin beckoned: "You all come here!" ”

The five teenagers, including the two adult men, put down the sickles, hoes and other farm tools in their hands and gathered over. Zhou Chuanxin began to point out that everyone was seriously introduced: "This is my eldest brother Rong, and he is also the master here." ”

Rong Yuanhang smiled and nodded with them.

Zhou Chuanxin continued: "Brother Rong, they are two brothers, the elder brother is called Cheng Shouchang, the younger brother Cheng Nianjiu, he is Zhu Shuisheng, this is Yan Dahua, and the youngest is Juan, who is only fourteen years old this year, we all call him Monkey." ”

The boys burst into laughter, and Juan's face turned red all at once, looking like a girl and very shy. Zhou Xinchuan pointed to the two adult uncles and said, "This is Master Sun, a mason worker, and this is my cousin, a carpenter, and he is very skilled." My mother said you need craftsmen, so I brought them over. ”

At this time, it was the middle of the day, looking at the innocent and simple faces and sweaty looks, Rong Yuanhang was a little moved, and he said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard." Rest all, and see you tired. ”

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired," the young man named Zhu Shuisheng looked honest, but grinned: "Brother Rong is the brother who passed the message, and he is also our brother, helping my brother do some work, can also be called tired, don't you say?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, don't get tired...... the teenagers paid one after another. Rong Yuanhang said with a smile: "Since everyone is your own person, I'm not welcome, do it well, by the way, who will help you buy some wine and food outside in a while, let's have enough wine and meat!" ”

As soon as they heard that there was wine and meat, everyone cheered. Rong Yuanhang was about to talk to the two craftsmen, when suddenly a slender woman came in from outside, wearing a light pink gown, knee-length, and trousers. A pair of mille-feuille coarse cloth shoes were stained with mud underfoot.

She was carrying a load of empty dung, her face was covered with sweat, and the wrapping on her chest was also wet. And this woman is Zhou Kaishan's concubine Huang Guanmei.

"Erniang, Brother Rong is here!" Zhou Chuanxin was the first to call her.

Huang Guanmei looked over in amazement, with a sweet smile on her face: "Ah, the voyage is coming." ”

Rong Yuanhang didn't expect her to come over to help with the work, and for a while he really felt very warm, the Zhou family really regarded themselves as relatives. He said, "Two, two...... Auntie, why are you here too? How can this kind of rough work bother you? Although she is Zhou Chuanxin's elder, she is younger than herself, only twenty-one or twelve years old, which also makes it impossible to call her a smooth name.

Huang Guanmei said with a smile: "It's not in the way, the two children of Huan'er and Shouyi at home are accompanied by his aunt, and I am idle at home, so I came over with the message to help." ”

She swallowed her saliva, put down the dung basket and said, "I'll go and boil some water for everyone, it's easy to sweat on this hot day, and boiling some water can quench your thirst." ”

When Rong Yuanhang heard this, he thought that as the master, he should arrange it, and said: "Auntie, don't be busy yet, send a message, you send someone to boil water." Two masters, you wait for me first, you will have something to worry about. ”

said to Huang Guanmei: "Auntie, you come with me." "Rong Yuanhang has already opened a factory and been a small boss, so he naturally treats them as workers when he commands, so he is not very polite.

Rong Yuanhang took the curious Huang Guanmei to the fifth courtyard, he took out a part of the silver raw materials from the kang cabinet, and said to Huang Guanmei: "Auntie, can you help me do something?" ”

"You say." Huang Guanmei looked at the heavy black bag in his hand and didn't know what to do. So Rong Yuanhang asked her to help her go to the street to buy some wine, vegetables and meat, and look at the things that were lacking at home and let her take the idea to help buy them, and the rest of the silver went to the money store to exchange it for a silver ticket, so that it was easy to carry.

Huang Guanmei agreed to come down one by one. She said: "Yuanhang, these silver are in such good condition, they are real barefoot silver, it's a pity to change the ticket." ”

Rong Yuanhang said funny: "What's the pity about this, isn't it easier to carry it after changing the silver ticket?" ”

"But ......," Huang Guanmei looked at the silver in the bag with a distressed face, she estimated that it was about two hundred taels and weighed fifteen catties, and then said: "But the money shop has to draw points for silver, one thousand draws five, one tael of silver has to draw five cents, and this time it will take more than one or two pieces of silver, what a pity." ”

"Oh, and the rules?" Rong Yuanhang thought about it, but it was just a commission or two, and this time it would be over. said: "It's okay, you go with the messenger, remember to hire a car." ”

"Oh." Huang Guanmei replied.

The reason why Rong Yuanhang handed it over to her to be a comprador for herself was mainly because she saw that Huang Guanmei was a housekeeper and was more careful. It's not far from here to the street, it's only a mile or two away, and it's not hard to hire a vehicle to load the goods back, it's better than the comfort of picking up the mud and garbage that she is carrying out here.

"Then I'll do it?" Huang Guanmei said, and suddenly said: "Yuanhang, I'll help you buy a pole by the way, right?" ”

"What is 'Wait'?" Rong Yuanhang asked in amazement.

"Scales, scales, scales for silver." Huang Guanmei glanced at him strangely, and found a reason for him in her heart: he should be the son of a big family, and there are always subordinates to help take care of it, and he has never been exposed to these things since he was a child, so he doesn't even understand it.

"Oh, so that's the case, hehe," Rong Yuanhang smiled and said, "Buy it, you can buy whatever you think you should buy, and, auntie, what is the salary of ordinary workers?" I want to pay those people out there to start work. ”

"What kind of wages do you have," Huang Guanmei said, "It's already good to care about their two meals a day." ”

Rong Yuanhang hurriedly shook his head: "This can't work, how can you let people work in vain." ”

"How can you say it's done in vain? Don't they have something to eat? ”

Rong Yuanhang wanted to laugh a little, what he wanted was a reference, so that he could pay people how much they were paid. "Auntie, you better tell me, you know, I don't know much about this."

Huang Guanmei thought about it seriously and said, "Hmm...... Those children, let's give twenty copper a day, as for the two craftsmen...... Just thirty? Forty is fine. ”

"Then I see, you go and get busy." Rong Yuanhang will not really give so little, twenty copper plates a day, according to the exchange price of six hundred copper coins for one or two silver, that is, three cents of silver a day, just enough to buy one and a half catties of pork, too little. At least it would have to be more than three or five times the wage to be reasonable, and now he has yuan, and it is easy to buy silver, so he doesn't want to disadvantage those enthusiastic fellows.

……

After Huang Guanmei left with Zhou Chuanxin, Rong Yuanhang handed over some silver to the two craftsmen, and instructed them to buy the materials to be bought, and then they hired some workers to come back on their behalf, and the mansion was officially renovated.

Rong Yuanhang has always been lazy to work, and when he saw that others were helping him, he was embarrassed to stay here and not do anything, so he went out and looked around the old mansion to see the surrounding environment.

While taking a walk, I thought to myself, in the future, I will have a home here, and I will have to use people who run errands for myself, this world is different from the modern main plane, not to mention that I have money, and it would be too much to expand my own strength.

"Hire housekeepers, nurses, maids, handymen, and even bodyguards!" The more Rong Yuanhang thought about it, the more excited he became, as long as he got rid of Xu Sanshui's scourge, he could develop with peace of mind. In fact, he can be a rich man, be a young master, and live a life!

There is a dirt road to the east of this old house, according to Lu Qi, this road is called Tiegong Lane, but it does not look like an "alley" at all, but is more like a country road. On one side of the road, there is a small stream with weeds and willow trees. On the other side, there are only a few adobe houses, sparsely arranged, looking lonely and desolate.

His own mansion is the most unfinished in the village, and there is a small hill behind it, on which there are wild grasses, dead trees and forests, and it is sparsely populated and barren. The trail at his feet goes straight around the hill, and Rong Yuanhang doesn't know where this road leads, but he guesses from this bare dirt road that there should be a village behind him.

Walking and stopping, he was aimlessly walking further and further along the dirt road, when he suddenly felt movement next to the stream. He turned his head to look, but he was shocked! -- I saw a tree with a crooked neck on the side of the road, and the treetops that extended into the brook were hung with a gray silk on it, and a woman under a strip of cloth was hanging around her neck, her feet hanging more than a foot above the water.

At this moment, the woman was kicking her legs wildly, and she was dying violently, but her neck was tightly strangled by the white silk, and her hands were grabbing and dancing wildly, but she couldn't reach it, and she couldn't speak, so she could only fight against death silently.
