Angelica looked at his dodging gaze and said, "Third brother, are you sure they didn't bully you?" For example, when you take the exam, you are forced to hand them the answers, or you serve them tea and water, and wait for them to wash their faces and feet? Or do you want to pay for protection? ”

Every time Angelica said something, when Qingyun's heart trembled, when it came to the article of collecting protection money, when Qingyun's face turned white, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at her with a shocked face.

These are indeed the Bai family's important means of doing evil in the academy, but how can Xiaomei, a little girl who stays in Xinghua Village, know all about these methods?

When Qingyun's head was not stupid, in a blink of an eye, he thought of the answer and asked, "Siya, did Ah Lin tell you?" ”

Angelica naturally wouldn't tell him, Ah Lin didn't tell her anything, she could guess it, because what she said was one of the most common methods of those bad forces.

Angelica raised her eyebrows slightly, and didn't say that Ah Lin said it, but that look made Dang Qingyun feel that these were what Ah Lin told her.

When Qingyun thought about it, he finally didn't hide it from her anymore, and said in a low voice: "It's all the third brother who is incompetent, once Bai Lijie came to collect protection money, and the third brother was afraid of causing trouble, so he paid them two taels of silver for protection money." ”

Angelica looked at Dang Qingyun with her head down, with a look of chagrin, she suddenly felt that he was actually a little pitiful.

"Siya, don't tell your father and mother about this matter, I don't want them to worry about me."

When Qingyun was silent for a while, he suddenly raised his head and said.

Angelica nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell them, it's just that the second brother, you paid them protection money, isn't your living expenses enough?" ”

Although two taels of silver is not much, for Dang Qingyun, it is two months' living expenses.

When Qingyun said: "Master saw that my family was not rich, so he found me a job in the academy, and I can earn 500 yuan a month, so in terms of living expenses, Siya, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Angelica winked at him and said mysteriously, "Do you want to get back the silver they took away?" ”

"I want to think about it, but it's just ......" when Qingyun looked embarrassed.

Angelica reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you want to get the silver back, listen to me." ”

"Siya, do you really want to provoke them? No, they're fierce. ”

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, listen to me, yes."

Saying that, Angelica hugged Dang Qingyun's arm and dragged him outside the academy: "Let's go, I'll take you to have a good meal, let's go to Yunmengju." ”

"Don't, Siya, it's too expensive there."

"Third brother, why are you such a mother-in-law, I have told you to listen to me."

When Qingyun was helpless, he had to follow her to Yunmengju.

The shopkeeper of Yunmengju, when he saw Angelica, was surprised and happy for a while, he hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, and said with an enthusiastic face: "Oh, when the girl, it's really you, where have you been these days?" Why haven't you sent peppercorns to our store for so long, you don't know, the pepper trees in our backyard are all bald, and for two days, they almost can't make boiled fish. ”

Angelica asked with a smile: "Yi Gongzi didn't come back from carrying peppercorns outside?" ”。

"Luck, it's just ......" The shopkeeper showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Eh, it's really hard to say, these things, let's talk about them slowly later, my young owner has always asked me to ask the girl, the peppercorns, when will they help us send them." ”
