"Livestock!" I gasped and said, "On weekdays, I think that Fu Lin is just a little proud of Aunt Hua's favor, but he doesn't want to be such a beast behind him!" He dared to go to the black market to hire child laborers, and he didn't know how much money Aunt Hua gave him! It's just that you have been wronged like this, why don't you tell Aunt Hua! ”

"Can't go!" Gan Lai shook his head vigorously, tears and snot were thrown everywhere, "Since the mistress is so busy every day, I can't see her as me." Second, it's not just me, but the other brothers under the steward are no better. But they would give the governor some money every month, and they would be treated a little more generously. I don't have any money for him, I send it back to my hometown in Yiyang immediately after I get a monthly payment, where can I leave half a penny to be comfortable for myself..."

"Silly boy, it was you who were all afraid of him, which fueled him to be so arrogant to this day! The people outside only said that the first floor of this Jiazhou is an inch of land, and even the people are all clothed and fed, and they can't wait to break their heads and come in. I said angrily, "It's just that even if you don't give him the money, most of the money will be wiped out when he sends you home every month, maybe he will be tired of it and simply cut off the offerings to your house!" ”

"Not really, I asked my kind-hearted neighbors in the village to come to Kaju and tell me immediately if anything happened to my mother-in-law at home or if she was short of money. Since I left home, Yiyang has never moved. I knew that my mother's life was excellent. No matter how much I suffer here, I am willing. ”

I didn't know what to say again, but I saw Duan Ming's jaw trembling, and his eyes were already wet.

It dawned on me that he had also told me about his childhood, as if he had lived by stealing in the village. Now that I hear the story of Ganlai leaving his hometown and selling himself as an adoptive mother, I will empathize with it and evoke thousands of memories.

"Ganlai, my sister failed to protect you before, it's all my sister's." I said gently, "Now that you are not doing well in the building, my sister will get back the deed of sale for you, and then give you some silver to go home to your mother, okay?" ”

Two pairs of big eyes that were almost as crystal pure looked at me at the same time, and I calmly smiled at Duan Ming and Gan Lai's half-surprised and half-delighted gazes. The corners of Duan Ming's mouth grinned, and the tears refused to hang in his eyes anymore, flickering across his cheeks and falling to the ground.

Gan Lai seemed to be stunned for a moment, and only looked into my eyes with his small mouth half-open.

"-Sister...?"

"Buy an acre of land to grow some grain, ask a Lang Zhong to cure the disease, and live a happy life with your mother, okay?"

The corners of his mouth suddenly raised high, and an incomparably sweet and pure smile bloomed on Ganlai's thin little face. At that moment, all the filth and tears seemed to be quietly melted away. In the background of the blurring slowing down, Duan Ming also stared at me quietly without a word, the smile on his face was as sweet, stunned, surprised, and moved.

Happiness.

At this time, we will bring Gan Lai into the underworld on the first floor and take care of it, needless to say.

And the fifth floor, as I expected, since Ji Sarong moved in, the rare elegance and quietness of the entire back building also disappeared with the older girls who were driven down by Fu Lin.

The woman who has a beautiful skin, but does not have the same beautiful soul, dominates the eight wings on the east side of the fifth floor alone, never like an ordinary person to accompany the wine out, since the combing banquet has been changing benefactors every day in the room singing and dancing, for a while in the peach sales building scenery is the same, hot.

But seeing that Aunt Hua's business was thriving day by day because of this baby, I had to suppress my dissatisfaction with her from the bottom of my heart, and only found the right time to inform Aunt Hua of all the black things that Fu Lin had deceived and concealed. After saying it one by one, I saw that Aunt Hua was still intently inspecting the thick stack of ledgers, and she didn't seem to be too shocked and angry.

"Fulin has been with me for many years, how can I not know a few catties and a few taels, many things are just doubts in my heart, and I have not been able to take care of them." Aunt Hua leisurely drank tea and said, "That kid's mind is indeed dirty, but he is only in the name and money, and he can't do any big things, and he can't do any big evil." Now the business of Taopinlou is getting bigger and bigger, and seeing that there is only one left in this building besides me, he is a little more shrewd, and everything can help me with a little bit of everything. So I have no intention of pursuing many things, it's not too much to look at it coldly, and it's just a matter of turning a blind eye. ”

"He's not too much?" I said indignantly, "If I hadn't found out in time, then Ganlai wouldn't have survived under him!" What's more, he is not the only one under him, Aunt Hua, can you really swallow this breath, even if he continues to ruin your huge family business? ”

"How much can he corrupt, and he can still move my mountains of gold and silver." Aunt Hua smiled, "I can't get used to seeing him behave like this." But Ling'er, what kind of idle person are you Dao that Fulin, since you and Sarong formed a bond that day, he expected that you would deal with him, and he found a backer for himself early in the morning, and flattered our new man very unpleasantly. No, Dongxiang also sent someone over this morning, and asked me to ask Fu Lin to serve her daily life. ”

"Cunning!" I gritted my teeth and hated, "That Ji Sarong is now in Taopinlou with infinite scenery, and he knows how to enjoy the shade of the tree!" Aunt Hua, you must not agree to this matter, otherwise you will put these two together and be in cahoots, and I don't know what will happen in the future! ”

"Why didn't I allow it," Aunt Hua smiled calmly, "I think that Fu Lin also miscalculated, I never expected that Sarong would really come to beg me to keep him by my side." In this way, I happened to find a way to cut off the power that had been given to him all these years. From the general manager who can fish everywhere to a small guy who eats with people, heh, his move is really not clever. ”

I still want to say more, but I saw that there was a little girl who repeatedly urged Aunt Hua to go forward, so I had the right to give up. As Aunt Hua said, Heng Zhi Na Diao Nu has no real power now, and Gan Lai has become more and more cheerful under the protection of me and Duan Ming, and I really have no need to kill them all, just give a lesson.

Speaking of Ganlai, it is really gratifying.

I didn't expect him to be so close to me and Duan Ming, since we rescued him that day, he moved to Duan Ming's room, one big and one young, living together, but also happy.

It is also thanks to this that his previous situation in the building was really discovered by us. It turned out that when he first went to bed, this shy little boy squirmed and didn't dare to take off his clothes. Duan Ming asked again and again, and only then did he blush, timidly revealing to us the shocking scars on his small body.

I asked Aunt Hua for all kinds of rare tonic ointments that Wen Zhao had never taken away last time, and carefully applied it to the child, and Duan Mingfang, who was full of regrets, was a little relieved.

Sure enough, he was a young and greedy boy, and under the careful care of Duan Ming and me, Gan Lai not only recovered his body in just a few days, but also became a lot stronger. The diet suddenly changed from the shabby leftovers to the exquisite seafood and mountain delicacies, and a small face became full and plump at an almost visible rate. A pair of eyes were clear and deviant, but they were more and more similar to Duan Ming.

During the period of recuperation, in addition to teaching him to read and read for an hour every day, the two brothers practiced boxing in the hospital to strengthen their bodies, looking at the sky and talking; Or go upstairs to the street to buy new clothes, try new things and have fun, and become more and more inseparable.

Early that morning, I was woken up by the sound of laughter from the bed, and I thought it was Ji Sarong having fun with one of her benefactors, but I vaguely heard the sound as if it was coming from the courtyard. Pushing open the window, a gust of cold wind poured straight into the room, I looked down tremblingly, but saw Duan Ming squatting shirtless by the well, his hand constantly plucking the ice water from the well on Gan Lai, who was sitting in a large wooden barrel. The latter was even more shivering from the cold, but he couldn't stand the itch, so he had to dodge left and right, giggling loudly.

"Duan Ming, what are you doing!" I annoyed, "How can you take a cold shower for Ganlai outside in the middle of winter!" ”

"Sister Lian, come down quickly, let's play in the water together, okay! It's fun! Gan Lai chuckled, "Sister! Come down, sister! Brother Duan is so bad, he keeps scratching my belly! ”

"Obviously, you poured water on me first, even my sister has taught me, this is called the wicked to sue first!" Duan Ming's body was also drenched, and he still couldn't stop holding Ganlai's squeaky nest in his hands, "Gui Ying, look at this kid!" After studying the book for less than a month, it is getting more and more slippery! ”

"Brother Duan, good brother! Gan Lai didn't dare anymore, didn't dare anymore! Gan Lai pounced and begged for mercy, "Sister, even sister!" Come down and save me! ”

"Nonsense!" I frowned and said, "Duan Ming, the child is young and ignorant, you also make trouble, don't you dry it quickly and come into the house, it's so cold, how can it be good if you have a cold - Gan Lai, listen to my sister's words, Brother Duan Ming is very bad, let's not play with him, and if you get sick when you get sick, you have to take bitter medicine!" ”

"What are you afraid of! I've always washed like this, and you've ever seen me sick and in good health—yes, very well! Duan Ming didn't raise his head, still pushing the waterway on each other, "Tell my sister, it's not fun to take a bath like this, do you want to let my sister come down and play together-"

"- Who! Early in the morning, there was a lot of noise in the yard! ”

Duan Mingganlai and I were all startled, and they all looked up together. But it was the pavilion window of the east head that was opened, Ji Sarong was wearing a snow-white mink fur and stood in front of the window, her face was as white as snow as the wind hair on her neck, a pair of beautiful eyes were not powdered, and the eyebrows of the two thin willow leaves were raised high, and when she saw that it was Gan Lai and Duan Ming, her face became more and more ugly.
