Chapter Seventy-Nine: Saving Tang Sanbao
"Zhao Hengzhi, rely on it! If you hadn't drunk that glass of wine, you wouldn't have wasted so much money! Yao Yuran turned her head to count a few words from him, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to have a cold chill.
"Alas, lady, I didn't expect it either. This Wang Zhongsheng has been telling me to go to the Drunken Xianglou, but I'm afraid that this one has already been set up and will wait for me to jump in! Zhao Hengzhi regretted that his intestines were blue, this happened too quickly, the two hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets, if he said no, he didn't have it.
Yao Yuran grabbed Zhao Hengzhi's ears and said coldly: "In the future, you will never be allowed to eat in this bullshit drunken incense building!" Hear no! ”
"Kiss the lady, people hurt so much, the ears are going to be wasted! Woo woo woo-" Zhao Hengzhi cried bitterly, crying with a sad face.
Yao Yuran wanted to count him down again, but halfway through, she heard a child's cry, "Woo woo, please daddy, don't beat me...... It hurts, it hurts! "That's a heart-rending cry.
Yao Yuran followed the prestige, and saw a drunken strong man holding a leather whip, whipping the buttocks of an eight-year-old child.
"Damn, how can you beat a child so badly!" Yao Yuran frowned and pursed her lips.
"Lady, why don't we go over and have a look!" Zhao Hengzhi was also moved by compassion, he clenched his fists, ready to save people.
Yao Yuran bowed slightly, and strode towards that side, and Zhao Hengzhi hurriedly followed.
The strong man with the leather whip put away the leather whip as soon as he saw Yao Yuran and them coming, and the eight-year-old child hurriedly hid behind Yao Yuran.
Maybe it was because he was scared by that person, Yao Yuran vaguely felt that the child seemed to be trembling, and there were still crystal tears on his immature face.
"Don't be afraid, we're here." Yao Yuran comforted softly.
The strong man glared at a pair of black eyes like a big black bull, and shouted angrily: "Stinky woman, don't be nosy!" ”
Yao Yuran protected the child behind him, and his apricot eyes glared slightly: "How can anyone be a father like you, you know how to fight all day long!" If you are afraid of your child, he will not be grateful to you, but will only hold a grudge against you! ”
"He's not my dad at all, he's my stepdad!" A crisp voice came from behind Yao Yuran, and the child poked out his little head and muttered loudly.
Yao Yuran's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Hmph, it's really not biological, no wonder he abuses children so much!" ”
Zhao Hengzhi hooked his lips coldly, with a trace of disdain on his face: "This kind of person is not very capable, he will only bully children, and he will be punished!" ”
"I'm also doing this for his good, this bear child, jumping up and down actually broke my wine, if you don't care, sooner or later it will become a scourge!" The strong man scolded.
"Tut-tut, look at your drunken body, you rotten drunkard, let's take care of yourself first!" Yao Yuran gave him a big look.
"Hiccup!" The strong man wanted to say something, but suddenly he burped, and the smell of wine rushed to his throat.
Zhao Hengzhi covered his mouth and said impatiently: "Okay, don't explain anything, we have to take this child back!" ”
"Big brother, are you really going to take me away?" The boy said excitedly, wiping a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes with his dirty sleeve.
Zhao Hengzhi nodded solemnly, lowered his eyebrows and said with a light smile: "Well, take you back!" Our yamen is lively! ”
"Great, I'm going with you!" The boy clapped his hands and applauded, but the strong man had a dark face, and he was about to reach out and grab the child's arm.
said that it was too late, Yao Yuran grabbed the strong man's wrist with one hand and twisted his hand hard.
"Ahhh Let it go! The strong man had a sad face, and his hand was about to be wrung off by her.
Yao Yuran let go of his hand and glanced at him coldly, and the strong man was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out. And Yao Yuran bent down again and said to the child: "Little one, let's ignore him, go!" ”
Along the way, Yao Yuran asked the child a few questions, only to learn that the name of the child who was beaten was Tang Sanbao, and Tang Sanbao's stepfather Tang Dahai was a rotten drunkard, and he couldn't do without wine for three meals a day. Tang Dahai was whipping Tang Sanbao just now, not because Tang Sanbao overturned the wine jar, but because Tang Dahai wanted Tang Sanbao to beg on the street, so that he could use the money from begging to buy him wine to drink.
Tang Sanbao begged for three pennies, but Tang Dahai thought he was useless, so he beat him with a whip, saying that he wanted him to have a long memory, so that Hou would work harder to beg for him to get more silver taels.
"Sanbao, you're too pitiful, woo woo......" Yao Yuran listened, tears flowing.
"How can this be reasonable, what kind of broken stepfather is this, it's just a bat that sucks human blood!" When Zhao Hengzhi heard this, he was scolding and scolding, full of sympathy for Tang Sanbao's experience.
Zhao Hengzhi was suddenly very grateful to his father Zhao Ming, at least Zhao Ming was not bad to him, even if he was paralyzed at home like a rice worm, Zhao Ming would not throw him a broken bowl and let him beg on the street.
"That home, I don't want to go back again, huh!" Tang Sanbao pouted. At a young age, he can experience more ups and downs than ordinary people, which makes Zhao Hengzhi quite pitiful.
"By the way, what about your mother?" Yao Yuran suddenly remembered such a question, if Tang Sanbao followed him away, his mother would definitely miss him.
Tang Sanbao's eyes dimmed, and he said in frustration: "My mother...... My mother passed away last year, and at that time, Tang Dahai only cared about drinking, and even my mother was sick, and he didn't care about it. ”
Yao Yuran's eyes froze, she was even more sympathetic to Tang Sanbao's situation, and she couldn't help but touch Tang Sanbao's little head.
In the blink of an eye, Yao Yuran and Zhao Hengzhi returned to the yamen. The yamen, as usual, was still noisy, Yao Yuran saw that Ye Junjun had caught a cricket and was busy teasing the cricket, and she also grabbed the cricket from time to time and dangled it in front of Chu Xiao's eyes.
"Junjun, put the crickets down." Chu Xiao was terrified, he usually had a fluttering white clothes, handsome and dashing appearance that did not eat fireworks in the world, but now, when he saw the crickets, he was so frightened that his face turned blue.
Yao Yuran looked at Chu Xiao gloatingly, he didn't expect that the owner of the Rain Building, who listened to the rain in a dignified manner, would be afraid of this kind of insect!
"Oh, crickets don't bite, so what are you afraid of? Hee-hee. Ye Junjun said with a hippie smile, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw Chu Xiao's discolored, it was very funny.
Zhao Hengzhi suddenly rushed to Ye Junjun's side, grabbed the cricket in her hand, and said with a smile: "Junjun, the owner of the Chu Mansion is a righteous gentleman, so he disdains to play crickets with you, a small person in the market." ”
"Brother Hengzhi, why don't you go to the back mountain and catch two more of them, how about we have a cricket battle?" Ye Junjun was in great interest for a while, and his smile became even stronger.
When Chu Xiao heard this, he felt as if he was in a huge crisis, and he subconsciously regarded Zhao Hengzhi as his rival.
Chu Xiao said in a cold voice: "Lord Zhao, you are busy with official business, so don't fight with others, right?" ”
A strong smell of vinegar permeated the air, Zhao Hengzhi felt the vinegar from Chu Xiao, and hurriedly smiled: "That's, that's, I don't have time to fight crickets at all." ”
"I have time!" At this time, a child's crisp voice suddenly appeared, Ye Junjun looked at it, only to find that the person who spoke was actually a milky child. I saw that there was a little more beside Yao Yuran, the child had dark skin and a pair of big round eyes, and was looking at her timidly.
"Who are you?" Ye Junjun's eyebrows were crooked, and he stared at the little kid who was a lot shorter than her with interest.
Tang Sanbao smiled innocently, and said in a milky voice: "Sister, my name is Tang Sanbao, it was Sister Yao and Brother Zhao who picked me up, they are simply my lifesavers!" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Junjun's mouth, and he said with a smile: "Okay, then we will have one more person in the yamen, and it will be more lively in the future!" Ye Junjun has no objection to someone coming into the yamen, she can have more people to play.
"Gurgling ......" Zhao Hengzhi's stomach suddenly sounded, he originally planned to eat in the drunken fragrance building, but when he saw those green peppers and red peppers, he suddenly lost his appetite, and now he just wants to eat the sauerkraut cakes made by Yao Yuran.
Zhao Hengzhi pulled Yao Yuran's sleeve and said, "Kiss the lady, people want to eat sauerkraut cakes, can you go and help others make some to eat?" ”
"Okay, then you promise me to bring me water to wash my feet tonight." Yao Yuran's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and if she wanted her to cook herself, she had to show some sincerity.
Zhao Hengzhi pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!" ”
Tang Sanbao was quite curious when he heard the conversation between the two of them, so he raised his little head and asked, "Big brother, what are you talking about sauerkraut?" ”
"Sauerkraut, hahaha, this is the food developed by your sister Yao, it is sour and delicious, and it is a delicious dish." Zhao Hengzhi said with a smile.
Yao Yuran is also quite proud, in this Daye country, she Yao Yuran can be regarded as the originator of sauerkraut, which is equivalent to the modern old godmother, and she can be on an equal footing with the old godmother.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised a smile, and said: "Little Sanbao, why don't I take you to taste it, the legendary sauerkraut, make sure you fall in love with that wonderful delicacy immediately!" ”
Tang Sanbao was full of interest, clapped his little hands and said, "Okay, eat sauerkraut!" The corners of Yao Yuran's mouth hooked up a smile, and Tang Xiaobao followed Yao Yuran to the kitchen.
Inside the kitchen.
"You wait first, I'll go out to the water tank outside and get some sauerkraut." Yao Yuran took a piece of osmanthus cake to Tang Sanbao, and she went to prepare the ingredients for making sauerkraut cake.
In the kitchen, only Tang Sanbao was left. Tang Sanbao looked around the dilapidated kitchen, there was a thick layer of grease on the stove, and when he looked up, there was a big spider web on the beam.
