The old man who beat people was Carpenter Zhang, and when he heard Li Qingyou's words, he was not only not afraid, but sneered.

"Even if he is killed, his mother signed a contract when he sent him to apprentice with me, and if he dies, he will die in vain, and it is useless to sue the yamen." The old man burped and spewed out his mouth.

This era is so unfair, apprentices are sent to the master to learn the arts, in addition to giving gifts, in fact, it is equivalent to free servants, and it is the kind that does not matter whether it is life or death.

Because when the family sends the child to the apprenticeship, the master has to sign a life and death certificate, which means that if he dies during the study of art, he will die in vain, even if it is the government, after all, it is written in black and white.

If the apprentice's family has money, he can send more silver taels, and the master's attitude can be better, otherwise......

And most of the time, the master doesn't teach anything at all, everything depends on the apprentice stealing art, and the amount stolen is as much as it is, and occasionally the master is happy to give a few words.

Even so, Li Qingyou was really hard to accept, "He is only so young, and he is your apprentice, how can you be willing to beat him like this?" ”

The little apprentice's wrist showed blood marks one after another, and it hurt to look at it.

Carpenter Zhang pursed his mouth and glanced at Li Qingyou up and down, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Li Qingyou remembered the purpose of this time, hurriedly said again, and took out the piece of paper, "Just follow the engraving on this, and the size will also be according to this, and this is the size." ”

In addition to Feng Wenru's town characters on the top, there is a line of small characters below, which is the mold of the record and the size and size of each word.

Carpenter Zhang took it and squinted his eyes and looked at it, Xu is the reason for his perennial alcoholism, his hands were shaking, Li Qingyou was very suspicious that he could do a good carpenter job like this?

"It can be carved, but this small character is not easy to carve, and you need to add more money......" Before Carpenter Zhang could finish his words, a person suddenly came out of the room.

"Don't call her."

Coincidentally, it was the dog who came out, and the two of them had a quarrel yesterday, and she was watching Li Qingyou's luck.

"Brother, it's her sister-in-law who beat the dog's ball, and her head is beaten like a blood gourd, and she doesn't want her to go to whoever she likes." The dog said what the girl said to Carpenter Zhang, but her eyes were glaring at Li Qingyou's sister and brother with hatred.

It's really a narrow road.

Li Qingyou didn't expect to meet the dog girl here, hearing the meaning of this, she was still related to Carpenter Zhang, and she also knew that this deal could not be done, so she could only find someone else.

Originally, Li Qingyou was going to leave, but who knew that the dog girl would not give up, blocking in front of her and pointing her nose and scolding, what was ugly and scolding, it was unbearable.

This is not a cat's ear alley, and no one cares whether Li Zhaodi is the person who positions it, so the dog girl has no fear, "Little slut, hook up with wild men all day long, and Zhang Tieniu's stupid boy is fascinated for you......"

"There are still wild men living with the family, who knows if you are still innocent?"

"You should dip in the pig cage like this......"

Ah Di's originally tense little face was instantly infected with anger, and he was about to pounce with his small fists, even if he couldn't beat this fat and strong woman, he would bite off a piece of her flesh.

Li Qingyou grabbed him, shook his head slightly, and sneered when he turned to the dog girl, "Although you scold, I don't care about you, but let your son be careful in the future, the next time I meet him, I will definitely beat him more seriously than yesterday." ”

It's too embarrassing to scold a shrew on the street, people always have a weakness, and children are the weakness of being a mother, regardless of whether Li Qingyou can really do it, but it really scared the dog.

Her dog is only ten years old, several years younger than Li Qingyou.

"You ......" The dog was so angry that she couldn't speak, turned her head and glared at the drunken carpenter Zhang, "Brother, you have something to say." ”

Carpenter Zhang walked over with a shaky eye, his eyes widened, and he waved his fist viciously, "You dare, believe it or not, you can't find the southeast and northwest with a fist?" ”

How could Li Qingyou be frightened?

Through this period of experience, she discovered a truth, that is, people are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, and retreating will not be understood, but will only be worsened.

"What, you still want to do it?" Li Qingyou sneered, and even took a step forward, pointing to his face, "Come on, fight here, and then we'll see you in the yamen to see if your yard is enough to compensate." ”

Anyway, it's not the first time she's entered the yamen, so it's good to get used to it.

The people were afraid of seeing officials, and Carpenter Zhang was honest now, and the wine was sobered up a little, and he dropped the sentence hatefully, "I don't know like a woman." So he turned back and went into the house.

Without the support of a carpenter, the dog girl would not be able to make trouble, and she was afraid that Li Qingyou would really find trouble with her son, so she could only stare at her angrily and try to kill with her eyes.

"It's not a shame to come out for just two moments." Li Qingyou gave her a sarcastic smile in return, and pulled her brother out, "Let's go, the carpenter has it, I don't believe that without his rotten eggs, we won't make trough cakes." ”

Ah Di was held by Li Qingyou, turned his head and smiled at the dog, but the fierceness in her eyes made her spine chill, and she was scared back a step.

When Ah Di turned his head again, he found that Li Qingyou had stopped, and saw her looking at the little apprentice sitting outside the gate of Zhang's house who was crying and wiping away tears.

"Does it hurt too much?" Li Qingyou took out a piece of osmanthus candy from the paper bag and handed it to him, "Don't cry, this is for you to eat." ”

This is what she bought for her brother on the way here, and when she saw the little apprentice crying, she couldn't bear it, so she sighed and said, "Otherwise, don't you learn here, why don't you eat?" ”

If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll lose my life.

How do you know that the little apprentice shook his head, and didn't take the candy, so he sobbed and choked: "I, it's not because I cried because I was beaten by the master, my mother is sick, and I want fifty yuan to catch medicine." I wanted to borrow money from the master, but he refused, and I beat him for wine......"

I see.

Li Qingyou thought about it, counted out fifty yuan from his purse and handed it to him, "Go and get medicine for your mother." ”

The little apprentice forgot to cry, and looked at Li Qingyou in a daze, but he didn't dare to take the silver money for a while.

"Isn't your mother waiting to grab the medicine?" Li Qingyou handed the silver money forward again, but heard the little apprentice say that his mother wouldn't let him ask for other people's things for nothing, so he thought about it and asked, "How long have you been learning carpenter from here?" ”

"More than three years." The little apprentice stretched out three fingers.

"That's not as good as this, this money is as if I hired you, how about you help me engrave on the mold?" After three years of apprenticeship, the basic skills should be there, and it is estimated that the carving of a few words is about ...... Right?

The little apprentice's eyes lit up, "You can trust me?" ”

Li Qingyou nodded, and deliberately grimaced, "So you have to work hard, otherwise I'll be angry." ”

The little apprentice nodded vigorously, took the money, and after asking the Li family's address and setting the time to go, he ran away happily......
