Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Robbery Is Coming
Xiao Zhu was about to take out the money bag as he spoke, and Liu Ya hurriedly said: "No need, I don't lack silver." Aunt Xiao didn't tell you, am I a good moneymaker now? ”
Sanfang already owes the Xiao family a big favor, and Liu Ya doesn't want to accept Xiao Zhu's kindness anymore, so as not to be misunderstood.
And Xiao Zhu has just come out of apprenticeship, although he can take over the work with the master, but the salary is not much, and he gives most of it to Widow Xiao, how much spare money can he have in his hand?
"I appreciate the kindness of Brother Xiao Zhu, you and Aunt Xiao are good to Sanfang, I will definitely repay you if you have the opportunity in the future."
Liu Ya deliberately said this, also to break Xiao Zhu's possible thoughts.
In fact, Xiao Zhusheng is good, at least in this Yangliu Village, Xiao Zhu is very popular with little girls.
Although Xiao's family is thin, Xiao Zhu is skilled, and there are really many people who have the idea of beating Xiao Zhu, but Widow Xiao has never let go.
Xiao Zhu's expression darkened, and he secretly said in his heart: Liu Ya is still young, so he shouldn't understand his mind yet. But their relationship has always been good since they were young, and I haven't heard that Liu Ya is close to other men, so he still has a chance.
"Then you take care of it, I will stay at home for a few days, and I will come back often after a while, if you think of anything, you tell me, I will bring it back for you."
Xiao Zhu said, took out a packet of maltose and put it on the kang, and the dim candle flame made it impossible to see that his face was red.
"You eat this candy with Liu Miao, don't be bitter, the most important thing is to cure the disease."
After speaking, Xiao Zhu turned around and walked out of the house, and Liu Ya looked at the bag of malt candy and the corners of his mouth twitched.
For some reason, Liu Ya remembered the cold-faced man who almost killed her and hired her to deliver food for a while, and she didn't know how he was doing now.
It is said that a certain man who was sitting on the passenger ship suddenly sneezed, and the attendants around him were so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to check the pulse, for fear that the master was infected with the wind cold.
"What's going on in the capital?"
The cold-faced man brushed away the attendant's hand, and since he returned from injury, he had been treated as a fragile jade by the attendant, which made him very unhappy.
"Back to the master, there are frequent movements in the capital, and our people have been affected a lot, Chen Ge Lao was forced to return to his hometown, and Lord Taifu still did not give up looking for the master......"
The attendant lowered his voice and reported the news from the capital.
The man listened silently, his deep and cold eyes always falling outside the window, as if the surging river was the thing that could attract his attention.
"Send the message back, just say that you have found the whereabouts of this king in Jiangnan, you take people all the way to find the past, and you must let those forces suffer heavier losses than us. Send someone to protect Chen Ge Lao and his party, and don't let them worry about their lives. ”
When the man finished explaining, he waved his hand and motioned for the attendant to carry out the order.
"Doesn't the master plan to return to Beijing?"
After the attendant finished asking, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.
"Please forgive the master, the subordinates are just worried that the master is not safe outside, and the capital is in turmoil, and the master needs to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation!"
"No question, how many of those who follow me do you think are absolutely loyal?"
The cold-faced man has no intention of blaming, the person he can trust the most in this world, Wuwen is definitely one of them.
"This ......"
Without asking questions and saying nothing, it is difficult to guarantee the word loyalty, let alone absolute loyalty.
"This king doesn't need half-hearted courtiers, it's time to see the true colors of these people, it's better than betraying this king at a critical moment."
The cold-faced man's tone was still so indifferent, even the sticky sea breeze in this summer was a little colder because of his words.
Without asking questions, he got up and went south at the next port to lay out for his master.
The cold-faced man's original itinerary changed his mind because he accidentally overheard a conversation between two merchants on the way.
"Brother Shen rest assured, it's just a hundred and ten daughters of yin fate, and I guarantee that the delivery will be made on time. However, this matter is not small, and the price can be raised by 30%. ”
"Yes, as long as you can send people to the port of Honghu County within a month, silver will never be a problem."
The cold-faced man listened for a while, then returned to his room.
"Honghu County?"
The place where he recuperated was also under the boundaries of Honghu County.
Liu Ya has had a good rest in the past two days, so she has to hurry to make the cold pot ingredients that fell before, it is not good to delay the business of the two Bosses Chen, and also delay her to make money, right?
Coincidentally, Xiao Zhu is also at home these days, saying that the owner has temporarily postponed it for three days before starting work, so he has helped Liu Ya do things.
Widow Xiao saw it in her eyes and frowned for several days.
"Son, you tell the truth to your mother, you ...... to that girl in Liu Ya"
Widow Xiao looked at her son with a sad brow, afraid that Xiao Zhu would move her mind and marry a willow bud who also had a hard life and dragged a large family.
Even though Widow Xiao sympathizes with Sanfang, she really likes Liu Ya, but the premise is not to consider it as a daughter-in-law.
"Mother, my son likes her."
After Xiao Zhu finished speaking, he went out to chop wood with a red face.
Widow Xiao's heart sank, and she sat there without moving for a long time.
If she hadn't been useless, her son would not have changed to learning a trade if he could continue to study.
But his son learned the craft in Fucheng, and he will definitely be able to have a good marriage after he gets out of school in the future, which is why Widow Xiao has not been in a hurry to marry Xiao Zhu.
It's not that Widow Xiao wants to cling to the daughter of a rich family, she just hopes that her son can marry a good daughter-in-law, and when something happens in the future, he can be helped by his father-in-law's family, instead of having to carry another burden.
Liu Ya didn't know Widow Xiao's mind at all, she had just sent the medicine to the village chief, and she was pondering what the village chief's daughter-in-law said.
According to the rules of the village, Liu Ye's age is time to get married, even if he recruits a son-in-law, he has to see each other in advance, right?
Liu Wang's family probably didn't have the heart to take care of this matter in the past two years, and Sanfang has been bullied because there is no man in the family to support him.
But......
"Liu Ya, Liu Ya, you have been brainwashed, do you even think this makes sense?"
With a self-deprecating sneer, Liu Ya shook off the troubled clue, when to get married depends on Liu Ye's own intentions.
"What's the grind? Let's avenge Da Zhuang today, if the old Liu family doesn't compensate Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law, let's grab one ourselves! ”
"That's right, our family is not something that the poor ghosts of Yangliu Village can bully!"
A group of people scolded and scolded into the village, and Liu Ya subconsciously hid to the side, but frowned.
Da Zhuang, that's the idiot, right?
Liu Ya doesn't care if the people in the old house are unlucky, but what if this thing is on Liu Ye's head again?
Thinking about it, Liu Ya hurriedly turned around and ran to the village chief's house.
Let's say that Liu Ye has been doing handicrafts at home these days, and it is also to take care of Liu Wang's family, I am afraid that she will not be able to think about it.
Liu Shusen did not hurt Liu Wang's family that day, but it also made Liu Wang's family frightened, and he was often in a trance these days.
"Sister Liuye, you hide quickly, Sister Liuya went to find my grandfather, saying that Da Zhuang and his family came to the village to rob their daughter-in-law."
The little grandson of the village chief's family ran into the door and finished saying what Liu Ya had explained.
"What?"
Liu Ye and Liu Wang panicked at the same time, and the work in their hands was lost.
"Big girl, you hurry up and go through the back window and go to someone else's house to hide."
