Sister, do you know how to make instant noodles? Please, help Sister Querong! If she can't hand over the goods, she will be killed! ”

Luo Shi was surprised, raised her eyes and said:

"Erkui, are you implicated?"

"No, I listened to my mother's words, and I have been doing handlebar style in other towns and counties, and she has come to look for me several times, and she has asked my mother to block it...... But Sister, it's a matter of life and death, you can't see death and not save it, the folks in the big hometown, Sister Que Rong said, she treats you like a sister-"

"Erkui!"

Luo Shi coldly interrupted his words, and after letting people calm down first, he said unhurriedly:

"She is not a child, since she took the deposit and took over the business of the army, she needs to take responsibility for herself, she can't hand over the goods, and the top is accountable, it is understandable, the military law is more stringent than the national law, and the delay in the procurement of military rations should have known that the consequences were serious!"

Erkui clenched his fists and said unwillingly:

"But now it can be saved, I just heard it outside the door, sister, you know how to make instant pasta, right? Mother, you heard that, didn't you? ”

Twisting his neck and slumping his face, he cast a pleading look at the full hoard daughter-in-law on the side.

The daughter-in-law's face was like a porcelain, and she said angrily:

"What does this have to do with you, you are a good guy, you go to take care of other people's women's affairs, and if you spread the word, you will be poked in the back! This damn demon woman, looking weak and graceful, why is she still seducing a young man from a good family behind her back!? ”

"Mother, she didn't! It's me...... No, no, I'm just taking care of her, and I'm grateful, and I can't bear to see her die."

Erkui dodged his eyes and turned away from the conversation, he grabbed Luo Shi's sleeve, bent his knees, knelt on the ground, and said earnestly:

"Sister, you should take it as a good deed, tell me what step is still missing from the bread, there are still a few days left, hire a few more people, work day and night, maybe you can save it"

Luo Shi saw Erkui kneeling, and was surprised in her heart, but her face was as cold as frost.

"A man has gold under his knees, and you kneel and beg me for other women's wives, what is your identity? If you want to kneel, you have to kneel to Shanzi, who are you? ”

“……”

Erkui bit his lip tightly, bowed his head and said nothing, he made up his mind, as long as Luo Shi was willing to help, he would admit it even if he knelt down and died here.

Luo Shi's eyes couldn't hide the look of disappointment, she turned sideways to avoid it, refused to kneel down from him, turned around and squinted, and looked at Aunt Cuiying, who was so angry that she was sifting chaff all over her body.

Manchu's daughter-in-law was ashamed and angry, trembling her fingers, and nodded at Erkui and asked:

"You, you...... You are honest, you and Shanzi's daughter-in-law, can ...... But the secret song? ”

Erkui was silent, and his face was full of shame.

Seeing Erkui's acquiescence, Manchu's daughter-in-law almost turned her back on him, although he was not her own son, but she had already regarded him as a support for the rest of her life, caring for her thoughts, all compared to her own son, and now she came to such a show, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made it difficult for her to accept.

"You get out of here for me, don't be embarrassed here, you don't have to go out to be a handlebar, when do you figure it out, when will I let you out!"

Manchu's daughter-in-law gasped, stepped forward and grabbed Erkui's arm, and dragged him hard-

Unexpectedly, Erkui ate the scales and made an iron heart, and really put the banyan in his heart, he stuck on the ground and refused to get up, hanging his head and saying:

"Mother, I know it's wrong, as long as I save her this time, I'll let my mother deal with it! Mother, you can help me beg Sister, now she is the only one who can help! ”

Manchu's daughter-in-law was born strong, and she also had a bit of brute strength, but she couldn't move Erkui who was kneeling on the ground at all, the young man was like a green bamboo, and he had grown up overnight, and he had always driven a car and tamed a horse, so his strength was not small.

Luo Shi persuaded his daughter-in-law:

"Auntie, let him be, the beginning of love Dou has taken the wrong path, the more you persuade him to return home, the more he feels that his love is stronger than Jin, even if he kneels to death here, he is completely infatuated in his heart, and his feelings at this age are very selfish"

"Lady, how is this—how is this?"

The daughter-in-law wiped a handful of old tears, and her heart was gloomy, how could a good male baby get involved with a married woman?

Luo Shi glanced at Erkui, who was kneeling on the ground, and instructed Shengzi:

"Throw him out, if you want to kneel outside the door! Tell the cold wind to wake him up, and ask himself if it's worth acting like this! ”

Shengzi sighed, grabbed Erkui's back collar with his big hand, and threw the person out of the house with a half-drag and half-pull, and closed the door with a bang.

Erkui staggered a step, straightened his back, gritted his teeth and knelt straight outside the door.

The cold wind poured in from his cuffs and collar, and he shivered all over, and looked up at the shadowy East House, he had no other idea than a stubborn energy that raised his head and raised his head.

In the house, the daughter-in-law was anxious and angry.

She paced around the kang, sighed, didn't even have the heart to drink saliva, and several times the words reached the tip of her tongue, and she had no face to say it in her cold eyes, so she had to swallow bitterly, and she was annoyed.

Luo Shi naturally knows her thoughts, and the daughter-in-law will be soft on Erkui after all, the spring is cold, and the monkeys outside are really going to kneel down for a few hours, and they will definitely freeze out of illness.

The biggest reason why she refuses to help her with Que Rong is that she is unwilling to take over this business from the bottom of her heart.

Even if she passes this level today, I don't know what will go wrong in the future, once the original Ansheng is in the soup, it will attract people's attention, it is difficult to ensure that the hunters in the capital will not be able to find her, and she really does not want to live the life of the end of the world.

Distraught, Luo Shi took out a needlework basket and began to give Shengzi the soles of his shoes, threading needles and threads, and forcing himself to calm down.

"Auntie, don't worry, Erkui can't think about it for a while, let's go to Liangzhou City tomorrow and take him together, the young man is not sensible, just teach him well"

The stitches in her hands were fine, her head was not raised, and she did not forget to comfort her daughter-in-law.

"Lady...... It's not the old lady who begs you with the elders, if it's really a sentence to mention something, you might as well put on a bodhisattva's heart, save people's lives, and just accumulate good fortune for the unborn child in the belly? ”

"Auntie, you said that you were most afraid of dealing with the army, but now you have changed your mind?"

"How can this be changed, it's just my son who is not angry......"

Mantu's daughter-in-law was full of pain, and she wanted to hang up high and unconcerned about herself, but Erkui was implicated, and she was determined to help Shanzi's daughter-in-law save her life.

With a long sigh, Luo Shi stopped the needle and thread in his hand and said indifferently:

"Auntie, be safe, it won't be long before the whole village will know, and when the person who should beg and kneel comes, I won't be too late to let go...... When the time comes, I will say that you listen to your aunt, you have become the benefactor of the whole village, go to the workshop and share half of the sky with her, and you will govern her in the future, so that I can feel at ease."

When the daughter-in-law heard this, she was pleasantly surprised: "Are you willing to help?" I—Where would I dare to get involved in her workshop business and not let her be eaten alive? ”

"Since my aunt opened her mouth to beg me, she didn't stay out of the matter, I was willing to help you, but I didn't want to help her, the whole village owes you a great favor, if this bread workshop wants to continue, she must endure you - take care of her for me, I am willing to allow this business to continue, otherwise otherwise, I would rather be a knife, and there will be no troubles"

Luo Shi opened the skylight and said something bright.

The daughter-in-law was open-minded, thought about it for a while, and felt that it was indeed appropriate to consider it from Luo Shi's own eyes.

sighed, for the sake of Erkui, she had to bite the bullet and respond:

"Okay, I'll answer you!"

Luo Shi nodded, and said softly: "You come here, I'll tell you in detail-"

*

Erkui knelt trembling outside the door, his lips were blue from cold, he had already sent the news out, and thought:

It's useless for one person to beg, then a bunch of people beg her!

After a while, the women who worked in the dough workshop got the letter and rushed to the courtyard of Luo Shi's house, and their husbands and children followed suit, and even the village chief was invited to walk to the courtyard of Shengzi's house on crutches step by step.

The village chief cleared his throat and said in a puffed voice:

"Xu Sheng, the lady of the Xu family, please come out and talk about it!"

Pushed the door and stepped out, Luo Shi was wrapped in cotton clothes, her face was faint, she glanced at everyone, and saw that several familiar women had come, but she did not see the banyan alone.

She was puzzled, so she had to be polite for the time being, and greeted the village chief:

"Why are you so excited, what's wrong? Sit down in the village chief's house, and I'll make hot tea."

"No need...... The lady wants to come and know why everyone came! He stood on his crutches on the spot, his goatee was sparse, his face was wrinkled, he struggled to speak, and said in a deep voice with the village chief's posture:

"The lady is from the south, I don't know the difficulties of our bitter water township, the fields are barren, the mountains are poor, the mountains are bad, and the taxes and taxes of the war every year are distributed in the fields, and everyone lives a poor life. Finally, there was this lucrative business, which family in the village did not have a woman who did not work, and was not implicated? Now that something goes wrong, you have to follow it, not to mention that the business is yellow, and you have to offend Uncle Jun, this matter is serious! Lady, you have to know the way to rescue, don't hide it! ”

After saying the elder in one breath, the elderly village chief was obviously short of breath and coughing and wheezing.

"The village chief doesn't have to talk nonsense with her, if she refuses to explain, let's go to the ancestral hall of the ancestral family law until she speaks!"

Someone on the side couldn't hold it back, and said loudly in a sharp voice, her face full of nervous fear.

Luo Shi's eyes were cold, and she didn't listen to the woman's nonsense, but only said in a good voice with the village chief:

"Who did the village chief listen to, I'm just a peasant woman, where do I know how to make bread, if I know, I should go to the banyan girl's house to work to earn money, as for the bitter guard of the medicine stall?"

The village chief's face was dark, and he said with a stalk around his neck:

"Erkui said that he heard it with his own ears, how can it be false?"

smiled, Luo Shi said slowly: "There is indeed this, but it is not what I said, it is Aunt Cuiying, Erkui must have heard it."

When the daughter-in-law heard this, she knew that Luo Shi had pushed herself forward, and when she thought of what she said in the house, she had to admit it stubbornly, and smiled awkwardly:

"Yes, village chief, I said that, Erkui mixed up with the boy's ears, listen to the fork, I also guessed, the dead horse is a live horse doctor, I can only say that I tried to remedy it"

The village chief's face softened slightly, knowing that his daughter-in-law was a kind-hearted honest person, and if it was her, then the whole village would be saved:

"Okay, what's the matter, let's find a way to catch up with the goods, first give the order to the military masters, don't lose this business, the whole village is still counting on a few years of good life"

When everyone heard that there was a remedy, they were all excited, and many people were originally frightened and hung in their hearts, but when they heard the daughter-in-law say this, they cried with a wow:

"Great, Cuiying, you are our benefactor, I'm really afraid of death, if I really can't hand over this goods, I won't be punished by the whole village!"

"Yes, Shanzi's daughter-in-law is too young, and she dared to take over this business without understanding it, and almost killed the whole village! Cuiying, you come to command us, we all listen to you, there are still a few days left, and we can still remedy it, let's do it all day and all night, I don't believe that we can't make it up! ”

"Yes, yes, quickly tell me the remedy, let's go to the workshop and start work"

After seeing the hope, everyone has motivation.

This business is dangerous, and I have just experienced this shock, but human nature is like this, once the crisis is over, I will not give up my money. They all want to rely on this instant noodle craft in the future to build a big house and marry a virtuous daughter-in-law for their son.

Manchu's daughter-in-law first dragged Erkui on the ground up, scolded him to go home and think about it behind closed doors, and then turned her head to look at Luo Shi, and after getting the letter, she rubbed her hands and walked to the workshop with everyone.

Before I could walk outside the hospital, suddenly a burst of yellow sand rushed into the sky-

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a column of fierce green battalion soldiers, riding horses and holding knives, arrived in a blink of an eye!

"This is Xu Sheng's home?"

The one-eyed general led by the leader grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, looked down at the people for a while, and then asked in a rough voice.

"Yes...... Yes, sir, what do you do? ”

Everyone was frightened and took three steps back, only the village chief was bold and reluctantly asked.

"What is the master going to do, you are a bad old man who can ask? Let's go! ”

The one-eyed general held the whip and waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rolled the saddle and dismounted, throwing a woman with a disheveled hair off the horse.

Everyone looked at it, and it was Shanzi's daughter-in-law, Que Rong!

Luo Xi took a step forward, and when she saw Que Rong's arm supporting the ground, she raised her head in embarrassment, and the two of them happened to meet their eyes-

There was three points of schadenfreude in the resentment, which made Luo Shi sigh in his heart.

Before she could say anything, she listened to the one-eyed general on the horse:

"Come on, arrest that Xu Sheng's daughter-in-law for me!"
