Chapter 21: Shamelessness
Because it was a detour, there was no one in the small alley, Shen Xiaoyu always felt that there were footsteps behind him just now, and the small alley was very quiet at this time, and the footsteps were even more obvious.
Shen Xiaoyu immediately remembered something in his mind, it was rumored that these days there were old women from good families in the city who were abducted, and the bitter lord also went to the yamen to report to the official, but the yamen didn't take care of things very much, and I heard that the young girls who were lost have not been found yet.
She is now in her prime, upright and young, not to mention her appearance, but this appearance can be regarded as passable, I'm afraid that those traffickers will not be targeted, right?
Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly sped up her pace and ran, but as soon as she ran, the footsteps following behind her also ran, and she was even more frightened in her heart!
Shen Xiaoyu ran several steps in a row, and the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, she didn't say a word, picked up the fried fruit that had just come out of the pot in her hand, and smoked it according to the people behind her.
"I'll let you follow me! Let you abduct me! Shen Xiaoyu punched and kicked while pumping back, his hand strength was not small, and the people behind him screamed.
"Don't fight, don't fight, no one wants to kidnap you!" As soon as he was beaten, Shen Xiaoyu stopped and took a closer look at what this "human trafficker" looked like!
Qin Huaijin was smacked, and when he looked up again, his face was gray, and his fair face was still stained with oil, but a handsome face still couldn't stop it.
Fifteen-year-old Qin Huaijin was much taller, his whole person was slender, his big eyes were bright and bright, especially when he smiled, Shen Xiaoyu felt that the sun around him was bright.
"...... you?" Shen Xiaoyu knew Qin Huaijin, although he still didn't know which young master this was, but in the past few years, he has also bought some handkerchiefs and sachets from time to time, and his face is basically familiar. She didn't expect that she had just saved people at the beginning, and she had been taking care of her family's business for several years.
As soon as he saw that he was not a human trafficker, Shen Xiaoyu complained: "I'm scared to death, what are you doing with me?" β
Qin Huaijin shook a radish in his hand and said, "You dropped something just now, I want to catch up with you, who knew that you walked so fast, just like running!" β
Shen Xiaoyu looked at the radish in Qin Huaijin's hand and was stunned, it was indeed the one she picked just now, and then she took it.
"I won't stop when you call me, I thought you were a human trafficker and wanted to kidnap me!" Shen Xiaoyu smiled angrily, fortunately, it was a false alarm. However, Qin Huaijin still had stains on his face, so Shen Xiaoyu said, "I'm sorry, are your clothes dirty?" "It's not easy to wash with oil.
Qin Huaijin shook his head, wiped his face and said, "It's okay." β
Shen Xiaoyu saw that there was an oil spot on Qin Huaijin's placket, so he took a handkerchief out to help wipe the oil spot, and said in his mouth: "The fabric is very expensive now, don't let me pay for it." β
Qin Huaijin naturally didn't know if the price of the fabric would rise, so he said: "I won't let you pay for it, but I see that there are always matchmakers going to your stall these days, do you want to say kiss?" β
"What do you say? I have a family affair! When Shen Xiaoyu said this, he said, "But you are also surnamed Qin Ha?" My sick fiancΓ© is also surnamed Qin, which is really a coincidence. β
Qin Huaijin laughed, it was quite a coincidence, and it was more than just a coincidence.
Shen Xiaoyu helped wipe off the oil spots on the placket, and then helped wipe his face, Qin Huaijin smirked, but Shen Xiaoyu stopped halfway through the wipe and said, "No, I'm thirteen, I have to pay attention in the future, you wipe it yourself." Then he gave the handkerchief to Qin Huaijin and asked him to do it himself.
Qin Huaijin wiped it twice, but it didn't reach the right place, and in the end, Shen Xiaoyu couldn't look at it and helped wipe it twice.
Shen Xiaoyu was wiping here, and Xue Yijun walked by the intersection, Qin Huaijin looked at it and hurriedly said, "Then you are still busy, I'll leave first!" After finishing speaking, he hurriedly ran, for fear of being entangled by Xue Yijun, and when the time came, he would be annoyed by the endless grinding and talking, and it would not be good if he embarrassed Shen Xiaoyu.
Shen Xiaoyu watched Qin Huaijin run away, his face was inexplicable, why does this person always come and go with a gust of wind? As soon as he turned around, he looked at Xue Yijun and happened to look over, Shen Xiaoyu also subconsciously wanted to turn his head and run, this Xue Yijun was much more difficult to deal with than the daughter-in-law of the Liu family!
"Shen Xiaoyu, stop for me!" Xue Yijun stopped Shen Xiaoyu.
Shen Xiaoyu is also served, for three years, Xue Yijun doesn't communicate every day, her head is big!
"I said Miss Xue, you came to warn me every day, if you can put this kung fu on the young master of the Qin family, he may not like you!" Shen Xiaoyu has a headache, why did Xue Yijun get involved with her?!
Xue Yijun pouted: "You don't want to be me?" He's not in good health, and I don't see him very often! Who else would like to come to you? β
"Yes, yes, what Miss Xue said is that the little one is still busy, so she won't accompany him!" After saying that, I quickly slipped away!
Xue Yijun pouted, although this Shen Xiaoyu has grown tall, she is still dressed in such a rustic manner, and she is not as good-looking as her white and pure water, no matter who looks at her!
Shen Xiaoyu returned to the stall, and Father Shen and Cui Fenglan had already put away the stall and were waiting for her.
On the way back, Shen Xiaoyu said: "The money we saved should also be able to rent a small shop, I saw the shop next door for rent before, our family can rent a place, so that we can set up a stall for a day in the future, and there is a place to shelter from the rain when it is windy and rainy." β
Father Shen didn't object, but Cui Fenglan said: "The matter of the store is not in a hurry, I still want to clean up the house first." β
The Shen family's house is also old, leaking wind in winter and rain in summer.
Father Shen thinks that he can do anything, but the house where Shen Xiaoyu lives is indeed old, and it is good to pick it up.
On the way home, an ox cart came up from behind the three people, and Shen Xiaoyu looked back and saw that there were several people sitting on the ox cart, looking like a family.
"Fellow, let me ask, is there a village ahead?" The old man with the ox cart came over and asked.
Father Shen replied: "Yes, the front is Sihe Village." β
After the old man thanked him, he continued to catch the car, Shen Xiaoyu looked at the car, the two women, looked like a mother and daughter, the mother was very dignified, and the young daughter looked even more watery, white and tender, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, which was different from the girls in the village.
found that Shen Xiaoyu was looking at herself, so the little girl didn't look over, it seemed that she didn't want to deal with Shen Xiaoyu.
The oxcart was moving fast, and soon Shen Xiaoyu couldn't see the shadow of the oxcart, and he was thinking about what kind of embroidered veil he would get at night.
The next day, Shen Xiaoyu didn't go to the city to sell goods, washed clothes and dried quilts at home, and when he was busy working in the yard, he listened to the villagers sitting outside at the mouth of the alley, saying that it was a new resident in the village yesterday.
"New to the city?" Shen Xiaoyu finished drying his clothes and sat down, usually there are some big things in the village, or these little daughters-in-law and old ladies spread the fastest!
"It's strange to say that our village has moved a lot in recent years, but there are no people who have settled in the village!" Guan's second sister-in-law said that the village is too poor, and those who stay are all old households.
Shen Xiaoyu listened and asked, "Where do you live?" She wondered if it was the one on the ox cart?
Guan Er's sister-in-law said: "It turns out that the house of King Qian's eight families, clean up and live in it!" "Qian Dawang Ba is talking about the village chief Qian who ran away with grain before, and because he was too lacking in morality, everyone directly gave him a name.
"Is the house still inhabitable?" Shen Xiaoyu was speechless, the house that was smashed by the angry villagers at the beginning has seen the sky, even if it is repaired, it is estimated that it will be a dangerous house.
Guan Er's sister-in-law clapped her hands: "Who knows, but people love to live and live, anyway, it has nothing to do with us." β
Shen Xiaoyu listened and nodded, Sihe Village has not had a village chief for three years, and the days are counted as one day at a time, and no one cares about an outsider when they go back.
Shen Xiaoyu saw that the time was almost up, so he went home to cook first, and the adults should come back in a while.
The water just sat in the pot here, and it was not yet warm, and the second sister-in-law Guan ran out in a hurry outside the door, Shen Xiaoyu craned her neck and glanced at it, just as the second sister-in-law looked at her, and said: "Oh, Xiaoyu, come quickly, Liu Er's family said that he saw your aunt being scolded by Mrs. Dong, just at the entrance of the village!" β
"What?" When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he immediately threw away the stove, wiped his hands and followed Guan Er's sister-in-law to the entrance of the village.
Far away, Shen Xiaoyu looked at a large number of villagers in a big circle, people came and went at the entrance of the village, how could there be no gathering people in this place?
Shen Xiaoyu pushed aside the crowd and went inside, just listening to the old lady of the Dong family, Liu, saying: "Don't think that you remarry is a glorious thing, if it wasn't for my kindness, you can remarry?" β
Cui Fenglan's face was flushed, but after all, Liu had been her mother-in-law, and it was always difficult to quarrel in front of so many people!
Seeing that Cui Fenglan didn't return the favor, Liu thought that Cui Fenglan was speechless, and then said: "I'll borrow 200 yuan, and you also find a reason to prevaricate, it's really ungrateful!" β
Cui Fenglan then said: "It's not that I don't borrow, it's that I can't live with the family's money, and 200 wen is not a small amount, how can I say that I can get it?" "Two hundred Wen is indeed available to their family, but the Shen family's money is also what Shen Xiaoyu said, and what she said doesn't count!
Shen Xiaoyu had already said before, if he didn't borrow the Dong family, this old lady Dong would still be endless, and now she specially picked a place with a lot of people at the entrance of the village to mess around, and Shen Xiaoyu's heart was also on fire.
Shen Xiaoyu glanced at Daddy Shen, Daddy Shen was stupid, he couldn't quarrel with his mother-in-law as a big man, his face was flushed at this time, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, so Shen Xiaoyu shouted: "Dad." β
When Mrs. Dong saw Shen Xiaoyu coming, she raised her eyebrows and looked at her eldest daughter-in-law Zhou Jinhua and squeezed her eyes, and Zhou Jinhua said, "Xiaoyu is here!" β
Shen Xiaoyu looked at the Dong family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a spur face, and said: "Our family has no money, so I said before that I wouldn't borrow it, and it has nothing to do with my aunt, I hold the money, and it's not easy for you to find her!" β
As soon as Liu wanted to say something, Shen Xiaoyu said again: "Also, now that my aunt is our Shen family, don't mention those things in your old Dong family, I don't like to hear it!" And at the beginning, your family nodded, didn't my aunt remarry for that bag of grain? What did you kindly agree to her remarrying? You said you were going to sell my aunt to the kiln? Are you kind too? At this time, she doesn't have to save face for the Dong family, this Dong family has made it clear that she is shameless!
