"Why hasn't Brother Douzi come back yet?" Not only did Li Zhang notice that the beans didn't come back, but the raccoon dog also found out, and at this time, he asked with a rice bowl but had no intention of eating, and the ugly girl and Huozi and others also showed worried expressions.

"You eat first, I'll go out and have a look!" Li Zhang finally couldn't help but say at this time, and turned around to leave the store after speaking.

However, as soon as Li Zhang turned around, he didn't expect Douzi to come back from outside, but this made Li Zhang turn from worry to annoyance: "Why did you come back, I don't know if everyone will be worried......

Li Zhang hadn't finished scolding, but he suddenly stopped, because he saw that Douzi's two eyes were red and swollen, and they looked like they were crying, which made Li Zhang couldn't bear to scold anymore, and asked softly: "What's wrong, is someone bullying you?" ”

"No, I have something I want to discuss with you, big brother!" I saw that when Douzi saw Li Zhang, tears welled up in his eyes again, just like a wronged child seeing his relatives, but there were too many people around, otherwise he would definitely cry bitterly.

"Let's go up to the second floor!" Li Zhang also pulled the beans and went upstairs directly, sure enough, as soon as he arrived upstairs, the beans also cried even more, Li Zhang's persuasion several times was useless, and I don't know what grievances he suffered outside?

After a long while, I saw Douzi stop crying, and then wiped his tears and knelt down for Li Zhang: "Big brother, I beg you to save my sister!" ”

"Stand up and speak, the man has gold under his knees, don't kneel down at every turn, what's the matter with your sister?" Li Zhang also frowned when he heard Douzi's words, he never knew that Douzi actually had a sister?

Douzi stood up under Li Zhang's support, and then cried while telling his sister about it, it turned out that Douzi also had a twin sister, to be exact, the dragon and phoenix fetus, his sister was named Xiuxiu, the family lived on the edge of the Yellow River, and his parents made a living by fishing and ferrying, but unfortunately, one year the Yellow River flooded, and Douzi's parents both died, leaving only their sisters and brothers to rely on each other.

At the beginning, Douzi and Xiuxiu were adopted by a relative, but this relative was wolf-hearted, and it didn't take long to sell their sister and brother to traffickers, fortunately, Douzi was clever, plus the help of his sister, and finally found a chance to escape from the traffickers, but his sister was taken away by the traffickers and has not been heard from since.

Originally, Douzi thought that it would be impossible to see his sister again in this life, but after he delivered the goods today, he actually saw his sister, and Douzi thought he was wrong, but when the other party saw him, he immediately called out his name, which made the sister and brother also cry, no one thought that the sister and brother could still recognize each other after a few years apart.

"Then why are you crying, it's a good thing to be able to recognize my sister?" Li Zhang also said with joy on his face when he heard this, he really didn't know that Douzi still had such a life experience, no wonder he used to occasionally feel that Douzi had something on his mind, and occasionally wiped his tears behind his back, and he didn't say anything he asked, probably because he thought he would never see his sister again.

"But...... But my sister is not doing well now! Douzi cried again at this time, and then talked about his sister's current situation intermittently, and Li Zhang frowned again after hearing this.

It turned out that Xiuxiu was sold by traffickers to a large family in Tokyo City as a slave maid, and she lived not far from Wuqi Street, but the family treated her subordinates very harshly, as long as the slave maid made a slight mistake, she would immediately be beaten and scolded, plus Xiuxiu was young, and those older subordinates also bullied her, and there was endless work every day.

"When I saw my sister today, she was carrying a big bag of clothes, that bag was even bigger than her, and she also let me see her body, there were bruises and purples everywhere, and I only knew how to cry when I hugged me, I wanted to bring my sister back, but she said that if she didn't go back on time, she would be beaten again, and the deed of sale was also in her hands, and she couldn't escape if she wanted to." When Douzi said the end, he broke down again and cried bitterly.

Li Zhang's brows were also tightly knit when he heard this, he has always regarded Douzi as his own brother, and his sister is also his own sister, if he suffers from these sufferings in the form of a raccoon, I am afraid that he will be even more sad than Douzi, and may even run directly to rob someone.

"Don't cry, Douzi, you go out with me this afternoon, and we'll redeem your sister!" Li Zhang immediately made a decision that although the store has not been open for a long time, because the business is booming, the store has also made a lot of money, and as far as Li Zhang knows, the price of slaves and maids is not high, and Xiuxiu, an underage slave and maid, is even cheaper, and there should be no problem to redeem her with the income from the store.

"Really?" When Douzi heard that Li Zhang was going to help her sister redeem herself today, she said in disbelief at the moment.

"Of course, your sister is my sister, let's eat first, and leave as soon as we finish eating!" Li Zhang patted Douzi on the shoulder and said, I didn't know that Douzi had a sister before, but now that I know, there is no reason for her to suffer outside.

"But the money for redemption ......"

Douzi was still a little worried at this time, because in his opinion, it would cost a lot of money to redeem his sister, the store had just opened, and Li Zhang had to pay off his debts, so he was worried that he would not be able to squeeze out the money.

"You don't have to worry about money, as far as I know, the price of slaves and maids in Tokyo City is not high, generally about a dozen, it will be cheaper in the year of famine, we can still take it out if we squeeze it in the store!" Li Zhang immediately laughed again, and his words also made Douzi finally put his mind at ease, but then he cried again, but this time he was glad that he had met such a good brother as Li Zhang.

At that moment, Li Zhang went downstairs with beans, and the ugly girls and they all had no intention of eating, but the wild dog was not affected, not that he was heartless, but for the wild dog, no matter what he had to eat, he had to eat enough to have the strength to solve it, so even if the guillotine was on his neck, it would not affect his eating.

It is not a trivial matter to help Sister Douzi redeem herself, and it also needs to use the money in the store, so Li Zhang did not hide it, and talked about it at the moment, but the ugly girl and Huozi were also very supportive, and said that no matter how much money was spent, Xiuxiu would be redeemed, which made Douzi also very grateful, and in the end, like Li Zhang, he insisted on recording the money spent in his own account and paying it back with his own share of money in the future.

After eating, Li Zhang and Douzi were ready to leave, but at this time, Li Zhang suddenly remembered something, so he said to the ugly girl: "Ugly girl, what about the new clothes you made two days ago, take them out and let me and Douzi change them!" ”

This shop used to sell cloth, although most of the cloth was taken away, but the ugly lady found a good cloth in the box on the second floor, he thought that Li Zhang and they often had to talk to people about business, and it was not good to have a good dress to support the façade, so he took advantage of his free time to make new clothes for Li Zhang and Douzi, but Li Zhang usually worked in the store and had no chance to wear them.

"Need a change of clothes?" Douzi was also stunned when he heard Li Zhang's words, the clothes on his body were still the clothes that the ugly lady made for them for the first time, although the style was average, but at least it was still new, and he also cherished what he was wearing, and now there is not even a stain.

"Most people only look at the surface, if we dress like this, maybe we won't even be able to enter the door of that house, let alone redeem your sister!" Li Zhang taught him with a smile that people rely on clothes and makeup, and this truth is true no matter what era it is placed in.

The ugly lady immediately went to find clothes for Li Zhang, and then Li Zhang washed up again, and asked the ugly girl to help him pull up his hair bun and tie it with a royal blue hairband, and when he came out with new clothes, the whole person looked like he was reborn, although he couldn't say that he was a rich man, but he didn't look like a child from a poor family.

In fact, Li Zhang's facial features are delicate, he used to look dark and thin because he couldn't eat enough, but now that his nutrition has come up, he has meat on his body, and his whole person is much whiter, plus he is far more stable and temperament than his peers, even if Han Qi stands with him now, Li Zhang will not fall behind at all.

"Big brother is so good-looking!" Seeing the new Li Zhang, the raccoon dog also blinked his eyes and said, the ugly girl and other girls next to him were also dazzled, they used to think that wild dogs were tall and delicate, but now look at Li Zhang, in addition to being not as tall as wild dogs, but their appearance is no worse than wild dogs, and Li Zhang will also make money, which makes them secretly decide that they will have to look for a husband in the future according to Li Zhang's appearance.

Seeing the reactions of other people, Li Zhang laughed, and then went out with Douzi, who also changed into new clothes, Douzi recognized the way, walked along Wuqi Street to the west, and finally turned north at Wuqi Temple, and then passed through two streets to the house of the big family.

Li Zhang came to the door of this house and looked at it, only to see the two big characters "Xu Fu" hanging high on the door, the eaves in the door are very magnificent, and the area of the whole house is also quite large.

At that moment, Li Zhang shook his shirt, and then stepped forward, but at this moment, he suddenly saw someone in the house walking out, and when he saw the other party, Li Zhang couldn't help but be stunned, and the other party was even more surprised and shouted: "Why are you here?" ”
