Chapter 21: Mother-Daughter Night Talk

The weather is so hot, it is rare for my mother and younger brother Yunsong to go back to Yunjia Village, and Uncle Li Zheng must keep them for dinner.

So, she can't afford to waste any more time.

After calculating the time in his heart, Yunxi walked over quickly, reached out and took the silver needle from the five people, wiped it with a clean cloth, and after putting it away, stretched out his little hand to the person who was the leader.

"Hand it over."

"What?"

The person at the head endured the pain like a pinprick and looked at Yunxi with a blank expression.

"Forty taels."

Yunxi's palm turned upwards and trembled.

The leader gritted his teeth and took out the hot broken silver from his arms, looked like he was about to cry and didn't dare to cry, and handed it to Yunxi's hand painfully.

"You have hands and feet, and finding a serious thing to do is not more secure than robbing?

Could it be that you sleep peacefully at night, those whom you have robbed and bullied?

Midnight dreams, won't come to talk to you? ”

"We're going to do nothing.

The reputation in the town is also bad, and no one dares to use us. ”

opened his mouth, and suddenly found that he could speak again, the man looked at Yunxi in horror and gratitude, and explained honestly.

"The road is walked by people, I advise you to be kind, you can do it yourself."

Yunxi calmly stuffed forty taels of silver into his arms.

Seeing Yunxi and Chu Yue walk away, the five of them trembled and got up, not wanting to, one of them fell to the ground like mud.

When the other four saw it, their eyes flashed with horror, and they hurriedly helped the people on the ground.

Eagerly screamed:

"Boss, how are you?"

"Boss, are you alright?"

……

"Stinky girl, wait for Lao Tzu, but I can't move my whole body."

Seeing that the four of his men were carrying him and did not move, the man grinned and scolded:

"Are you dead?

Why don't you take me to Renhetang to see the doctor. ”

The four of them carried the man with a meaty face, and hurried to Renhetang without mentioning it.

On the other side, Yunxi and Chu Yue rushed to Meiweixuan and ordered a table of dishes suitable for patients to drink.

When she paid the bill, she found Chu Yue standing on the side, glanced at the broken silver on the counter, and pursed her lips.

It's really rare, Yunxi sighed in his heart.

The shopkeeper smiled and asked the two of them to sit down and wait for a while.

Glancing at the hall where there were only three tables of guests, Yunxi found an empty seat and sat with Chu Yue to wait.

"Xi'er, you say, who is going to target you this time?"

Thinking of Yunxi in distress, Chu Yue's heart ached.

The voice seemed to be squeezed out between the teeth.

Yunxi was a little moved and a little funny when he listened:

"Am I all right?

Besides, did you get over in time? ”

"What if I don't make it."

Chu Yue didn't dare to imagine that picture.

"Okay, Brother Chu, I don't have anything.

In the future, I'll pay attention. ”

"Or, you can practice martial arts with me."

Although at Yunxi's age, it is a little late to learn martial arts now, but it is no problem to learn some self-defense techniques.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to get up."

She likes to sleep in.

It's just that it's too hot to stand it now, so she has to get up from bed early in the morning.

"Mei'er and Song'er should also learn together."

Learn more, so he can rest assured.

Yunxi still wanted to refuse, but his sharp eyes saw Xiao Er come out with a packed food box.

She quickly got up, walked over in two steps, and reached out to take the food box.

At this time, a big hand reached over and took the food box in Yunxi's hand.

"I'll get it."

Chu Yue's voice was as warm as a spring breeze.

It's obviously a sunny summer, why did she hear the smell of spring?

Yunxi couldn't figure it out.

However, she didn't think much about it, and together with Chu Yue, she hurried to Qingxiang Hutong.

When she heard the knock on the door, Yunmei was holding her little belly in the hall and screaming hungry.

Thinking of her sister's explanation when she went out, Yunmei did not respond, but took a light step, with a small body, and slowly moved towards the gate of the courtyard.

Yun Shun and Zhang Yun, who were sleeping in the wing, heard it and hurriedly shouted:

"Mei'er, it may be that your sister is back, go and open the door."

Yunmei straightened up and ran to the gate of the courtyard with a gust of wind.

Through the thick plank, he asked in a loud voice:

"Is it my sister?"

"It's me, Mer, open the door."

Yunxi heard the sound of pulling the deadbolt, and then added:

"Mei'er, you stand back, don't stand by the door, my sister pushed the door."

"Alright."

Yunmei obediently retreated to the courtyard before responding.

Yunxi pushed the door in.

Seeing that her sister's hand was empty, Yunmei's mouth was so pouting that she could almost hang up the small oil bottle.

Suddenly, she smelled the enticing smell of fish in the air, and the rich smell of chicken soup, and Yunxi's mouth immediately turned up to the sides.

"Hungry, aren't you?"

Yunxi smiled and rubbed Yunmei's withered yellow soft hair, and asked distressedly.

"My sister is back now."

She promised her sister that she would take care of her father and second uncle.

She did, except that she couldn't cook.

After setting up the meal, Yunxi and Chu Yue went to the wing room together.

Looking up and seeing a kettle and two bowls on the table between the two beds, there was still a cold white boil in the bowl, Yunxi smiled.

My sister is so sensible.

Two people divide the work.

Yunxi helped his second uncle Zhang Yun out, and Chu Yue came out with Yunshun on his back.

After sitting down, Yunxi first added a small half bowl of chicken soup to each of the four people.

Then clip a large chicken leg and put it in the Yunmei rice bowl.

"This is a reward for you, you took good care of your father and second uncle today."

"Thank you, sister."

Yun Mei immediately smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.

After drinking the soup, Yunmei sighed:

"After drinking the soup, how did I find that my stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier."

"Then what are you waiting for, eat chicken legs."

Chu Yue helped Yunxi add a small half bowl of chicken soup.

Smiled at Yunmei and teased her.

Yunmei grinned, reached out and picked up the big chicken leg, opened her mouth to bite and eat.

After eating, don't forget to comment:

"It's fragrant, it's soft, it's rotten, I'm really living a fairy-like life."

"Hahaha, if you like to eat, eat more."

Zhang Yun and Yun Shun couldn't help but laugh.

Yunxi and Chu Yue were drinking chicken soup, and when they heard her words, they almost choked.

"Ahem"

After coughing a few times, he finally stopped coughing, and Yunxi glared at the culprit angrily.

"Tell you like you haven't eaten chicken?"

"I really didn't eat it before I moved to town, I only smelled chicken soup."

Yun Mei said this, and heard that in the ears of the four adults, the taste was different.

"Don't worry, my sister will let you eat chicken thighs every day in the future.

Eat whatever you want. ”

"That's the life of the landlord."

Yun Mei's eyes were dripping.

Zhang Yun listened and thought thoughtfully:

"Brother-in-law, have you noticed, it seems that since you moved to the town, your family's life has been getting better day by day.

Look at this food, you can't stop it without ten taels of silver. ”

"Yes, it's all thanks to Chu Yue and Xi'er."

Yun Shun said, with a faint layer of loneliness and sorrow on his face.

Yunxi discovered his abnormality and quickly changed the topic:

"Dad, you and your uncles are both to be shopkeepers, learn to read and write, and learn arithmetic."

"Be a shopkeeper?

Xi'er, you didn't lie to your father, at most, your father waited for his legs to be healed, and went to sell small jobs on the street. Work as a coolie to earn money. ”

"Dad, isn't my mother embroidering a purse, my daughter wants to put some medicinal herbs in the purse and sell it together, if it's good, then let's open a shop directly."

Together with the medical center. ”

"Xi'er, when you went to Zhu Dong's house today, he didn't embarrass you, right?"

Hearing Yunxi's plan, Zhang Yun thought of the purpose of her going out.

"He repented temporarily, and I later went to Zhang's house.

gave the young lady two bottles of medicine, and she gave Xie Jin a hundred taels of silver tickets. ”

"Zhang's house?"

The expression on Zhang Yun's face changed drastically.

Seeing this, Yunxi's heart jumped.

I don't want to blurt out:

"Second uncle, could it be that Zhang Fu has done something bad to you?"

"That's not it, I used to work as a small worker in Zhang's mansion, and Young Master Zhang and Mrs. Zhang take good care of us short-term workers."

"And why are you?"

Yunxi's heart lifted suddenly.

"It's nothing, I heard that Zhang Dagongzi's younger brother, Zhang Xiaogongzi can't walk on both feet."

"Do you know why?"

Yunxi looked at the thick eyebrows tightly locked by the second uncle Zhang Yun, and was a little surprised that the second uncle knew so clearly about the affairs of the Zhang Mansion.

"This is not clear, two years ago, I went to Zhang's Mansion to do a small job, and I happened to see Zhang Dagongzi pushing a young man who looked eight or nine points similar to him out to bask in the sun."

Zhang Yun seemed to remember the past, his eyes drifted away, and his voice was cloudy.

"Let's eat."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little gloomy, Chu Yue hurriedly sandwiched a piece of chicken breast and put it in the bowl of his second uncle Zhang Yun.

Then give Yun Shun and Yun Mei a piece each.

Finally, Chu Yue put a piece of chicken on top of the untouched rice in his bowl.

After taking the chopsticks in Yunxi's hand and separating the chicken from the skin, he naturally used the chopsticks that Yunxi had eaten to sandwich the chicken into her bowl.

"Thank you."

Taking the chopsticks, Yunxi smiled at Chu Yue.

After the five of them finished eating, Yunxi and Chu Yue cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together.

Yun Shun and Zhang Yun were going back to the house after eating, Yunxi and Chu Yue wanted to help, but the two insisted that they didn't need to.

Yunxi and Chu Yue had no choice but to give up.

Yunmei watched on the side for a while, feeling bored and a little sleepy, so she said to Yunxi and Chu Yue, and went back to the house to take a nap.

Suddenly, only Yunxi and Chu Yue were left in the hall.

"Brother Chu, didn't you say you'll be back in three days? Are you busy with your business? ”

Yunxi wiped the bones and rice grains on the table with a rag, and while doing things, he looked at Chu Yue and asked, with a look of concern.

Chu Yuemian did not change his color and nodded:

"That's right, it's done."

He came back in a hurry, because he was worried that Yunxi would be bullied at Zhu's house, but he didn't expect Dr. Li to be quite righteous and accompany him.

It's just that I didn't expect someone to look at Yunxi unpleasantly, and actually found a gangster to bully her, so he arrived in time.

He wanted to see which bastard ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts and dared to bully the person he fancied.

Thinking of this, Chu Yue couldn't help but clench the big hands hanging on his sides.

"Let's go, let's go to the firewood room and have a look."

In the busy hall, the two went to the firewood room to check the soybean sprouts and garlic, and if they needed to replenish water, they would make up for it.

Perhaps because of the hot weather, soybean sprouts and garlic sprouts actually began to sprout small sprouts.

Yunxi looked at it and smiled like a child who had eaten candy.

Chu Yue on the side saw that the smile on his face was like the sunshine outside, hot and bright.

"Brother Chu, you've been busy for a day, go back and rest, and come over for dinner in the evening."

Sending Chu Yue away, Yunxi returned to the house and continued to tinker with medicinal herbs.

On the other side, Dr. Huang and Dr. Li were so busy in Renhetang that their feet did not touch the ground, and suddenly they saw the thugs on the street carrying a man with a face full of meat and scars on his eyebrows, hurriedly walked in, and shouted at the blocking road as they walked:

"Let me, let Lao Tzu."

When the people on the side heard the voice, they turned back dissatisfied, and wanted to scold back, but when they saw the person coming clearly, everyone was silent.

At the same time, he consciously made way for a passage to facilitate the entry of five people.

Dr. Huang, who was busy coming out to drink tea to moisten his throat, inadvertently looked up, and was so frightened that he almost dropped the plain teacup in his hand.

Seeing the five of them panting and looking gray, Dr. Huang couldn't figure out why they became like this?

Isn't it just dealing with a little girl?

Five big men can't handle it, it's too weak, right?

Just thinking about it, suddenly, one of the five people, looking at Dr. Huang in a daze, shouted violently.

"What's the fuss, looking for death, show my boss where he hurts."

I don't know what bad the little witch makes, the boss can't move all over his body.

Thinking of the boss's pig cry at that time, the four of them couldn't help but shiver.

Alas, this time I lost my husband, bah, I lost my money and broke people.
