Chapter 3 is mercenary

Lin Fan and Xiaoxue's inn is called "Yilin Inn", for the people of this inn, Lin Fan is quite satisfied, except for the shopkeeper who is relatively ugly, everyone else looks good, the shopkeeper's wife Hua Niang's charm still exists, in stark contrast to the shopkeeper Lao Chen, and I don't know how Hua Niang likes Lao Chen.

Yilin Inn already has two dogs, he can be busy alone, Lin Fan is basically an idler here, the only thing he can do is to help Hua Niang count the money.

Xiaoxue has something to do, she helps the cook clean the dishes and chopsticks in the back kitchen, she often does this kind of thing at home, and washing the dishes and chopsticks is easy for her.

After helping Hua Niang reconcile the accounts, Lin Fan was idle, holding his chin with one hand and looking at the guests boringly, and playing with a copper with the other hand.

There are fewer guests staying in this time period, more people come up to eat and chat, and the two dogs hang a rag on their shoulders, greeting the guests with a smile, sending away the guests who have finished the meal with enthusiasm, and greeting the guests who come in with a smile.

Xiao Xue strode out of the back kitchen with a basin in her hand, came to the empty table where the guests had just finished eating, quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, only accepted three tables, and the basin was full, seeing her struggling appearance, Lin Fan immediately rushed out, took the basin and walked to the back kitchen, Xiao Xue followed behind her brother with a smile, her eyes were full of happiness.

Before the person walked out of the back kitchen, Lin Fan was attracted by the sound outside, and his eyes were attracted by the two people in front of him when he walked out quickly, not only him, but also the eyes of others, even Lao Chen, who had been drinking tea in the room, also ran out, he couldn't ignore such a big movement in the inn, but he saw that it was a man who looked like a housekeeper and retreated after reprimanding a little girl, it was too common for the master to reprimand the servant, and it was not unusual.

Lin Fan felt very strange, and at the same time there was an inexplicable dissatisfaction in his chest, he knew that girl, she was the little girl he saw in the morning who was scolded and cried all the way by her mother, at this moment her face was still full of tears, the housekeeper was like a shrew, from the time she walked in the door to the time she sat on the table by the window, her mouth never stopped, and the swear words that spewed out her mouth were comparable to a shrew.

Seeing such a scene, Lin Fan once thought that this housekeeper was not a eunuch, but he saw that his enthusiasm for Ergou was a little overbearing so he dispelled this idea, Ergou pasted a cold ass, but he was still warmly entertained, who called him Xiao Er, this is his job duty.

Lin Fan's eyes looked at the window position with extreme dissatisfaction, the housekeeper sat there and drank a sip of water, and finally stopped scolding, looking out the window I don't know whether she was repenting or afraid of coming into contact with other people's strange eyes, the little girl grabbed the corner of her tattered clothes with both hands and sobbed, her person was only a head taller than the table, almost eight or nine years old, seeing her pitiful appearance, Lin Fan suddenly felt so cold in his heart, this world...

Ergou seemed extremely reluctant to provoke such a guest, and the dishes quickly came to the table, full of a large table of dishes, and a bottle of aged rice wine, perhaps because of thirst, the housekeeper did not eat the vegetables first, but poured a bowl of wine and leaned back, wiped his mouth and took a greasy chicken leg with satisfaction.

He ate very deliciously, took a bite of chicken and then chewed slowly in his mouth with a chopstick dish, and then took a sip of wine, as for the little girl standing next to him, he didn't even look at it.

The aroma came to her nose, the little girl forgot to sob, she swallowed her saliva when she smelled the fragrance, and secretly stared at a table of dishes on the table with a pair of bright eyes.

It's a pity that this way of asking for food is not given, and the housekeeper cast a sharp look at him, and the little girl was so frightened that she hurriedly shrugged her head, and she didn't dare to peek for a long time, so she could only close her eyes and breathe hard, hoping to suck all the aroma here into her stomach.

The stomach rumbled again, the little girl's breathing increased harder, and the sound of something falling came from her ears, and the little girl opened her eyes suddenly, and she found that there was a bone under the butler's seat, which was the bone left over from a chicken leg that the butler had just eaten, although the cartilage had been eaten, but there was still a trace of meat on it.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and her stomach seemed to urge her to pounce, and in fact she did the same, and without hesitation, she climbed under the butler's seat, and was about to reach for the chicken bone, and a big foot stepped on the chicken bone in an instant.

"I'll let you eat, let you eat ・・・・・・"

The butler's insults sounded again, and now he stood up, kicked off the chair, and stomped on the chicken bones under his feet, and when he moved his feet away, the chicken bones were shattered, and mixed with dirt, and the housekeeper got out of the way, he thought that the little girl would not eat like this again.

He was wrong, but the little girl crawled over, grabbed the broken bones mixed with dirt, put them in her mouth, and swallowed them.

The butler did not seem to be satisfied with the insult, and raised his right foot and kicked the little girl's stomach, and the little girl snorted and tears burst out of her eyes again, but this time it was only a silent cry, hunger clearly covered the pain in her body, and she pounced again, sucking the bones with her mouth.

The housekeeper was completely furious, threw a large table of dishes on the table to the ground, scolded and fell, and after the fall, he had to trample the food scattered on the ground like mud before stopping, and then playfully watched the little girl crawl in front of the food and eat like a wolf, which was not satisfied, and from time to time he had to send a kick to make the little girl fall to the ground・・・・・・ and so many diners around him did not come forward to seek justice for the little girl.

Looking at such a scene, Lin Fan's hand holding the copper was exposed, he really couldn't stand it, and as soon as he moved away, Hua Niang grabbed him and shook his head gently.

"Why?"

"No, it's better not to offend people we can't afford to provoke."

Hua Niang said lightly and went into the room and didn't come out again, there were no other guests coming in at the moment, and the surrounding guests were also watching the guests, and the two dogs who were idle came to Lin Fan's side to watch the excitement together, he saw Lin Fan's actions, and whispered in his ear: "The housekeeper is the Wang family, the Wang family is a famous family, and no one can offend the Wang family, especially the Taiyuan Wang family." ”

Lin Fan has heard of the Wang family, the ancestral tomb of the Lin family is located on a mountain peak next to the ancestral tomb of the Wang family, I heard the father and the villagers say that the Wang family is also a famous family in Chang'an, presumably this Wang housekeeper is from this Wang family...

Seeing that Lin Fan was silent, Ergou continued casually: "I heard that this Wang family is a branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, settled in Chang'an, its master is a big official in the imperial court, the Wang family is a famous family in Chang'an, ordinary people can't afford to offend, their housekeepers are like this, treat slaves like dogs, and even dogs."

Everyone has long been accustomed to this phenomenon, so don't think anything, you haven't seen anything in the world may not know, you can always encounter all kinds of things in the inn in the future, it's not strange to see more, the wealthy family treats servants like this, there is no need to be compassionate, do your own thing. ”

"Since everyone knows in their hearts that they will be guilty of entering a wealthy family, why do people still send their children in?"

"Without him, it's just mercenary."

The housekeeper snorted, and the second dog smiled and went up to take a piece of silver that he slapped on the table, leaving no trace of residual food on the ground, and all the meals that were trampled by the housekeeper fell into the little girl's belly, and finally she couldn't eat it anymore, so the housekeeper stuffed it into her・・・・・・

The little girl followed the butler with her swollen belly and shrugged her head to follow the butler, the tears on her face were dry, the tear stains were still there, and the dirt on her face and the empty eyes made her look more pitiful and shabby than a beggar.

Lin Fan didn't know whether this housekeeper of the Wang family was showing the demeanor of the Wang family in front of the world, or demonstrating, or putting on a show, he only knew that he was very sorry when he saw the appearance of the little girl, a good girl was folded like this, and he didn't know what kind of heart that mother had, and actually pushed her own flesh and blood into hell for a few more money・・・・・・

The inn returned to its usual normal, Ergou cleaned up the broken dishes on the ground, set up the tables and chairs, and it was the same as usual, no one knew what had happened there, as if nothing had happened.
