Not far from the marina, there is a small bazaar that forms spontaneously.

There are a variety of things sold here, including mountain goods, local products, vegetables and fruits, meat and poultry, clothing, and so on.

It is not only convenient for merchants who come and go, but also convenient for the residents of the town.

In the corner of the bazaar, there is a fish stall.

The stall owner was a young woman of about twenty-four or five years old, dressed in a homespun shirt and wearing an apron.

Although the clothes are very simple and stained with fish scales and other dirt, they still can't hide the gentleness and lightness of the little jasper.

If you change into a silk dress, it will be the style of a young lady from a big family.

It's a pity that such a beautiful girl has fallen into a stall for some reason.

She was not the only one on the stall, there was also a little girl of seven or eight years old.

Similarly, the little girl's clothes were very plain, and her face was stained with some blood and fish scales.

is young, but he already knows how to help adults share their worries and sorrows.

From time to time, shouting: "Come and see, come and see, my fish is the freshest......

The immature voice also attracted many people.

When someone buys fish, little Lori also has to help her mother with work, such as removing fish scales.

Although it is not very clean, most of the guests still don't care about it. After all, such a cute little girl, who can bear to embarrass her?

This young woman, everyone in the town calls her Xiu'er.

Her daughter is affectionately called Xiao Xiu'er.

This is also because the mother and daughter look very similar.

"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Xiu'er?"

At noon, a young man dressed in a fancy costume came to the fish stall and shouted at Xiu'er sourly.

"Is that you?"

After seeing each other clearly, Xiu'er couldn't help frowning, and her eyes were a little complicated.

"Mother, who is this uncle?"

Xiao Xiu'er blinked, looked at her mother and asked curiously.

Without waiting for Xiu'er to speak, the man couldn't help but smile and said, "This is your daughter with Fang Yong?" looks quite similar to you, and must be a beautiful girl when she grows up. ”

Sensing that the other party's tone was not good, Xiu'er subconsciously protected her daughter behind her, and forced a smile: "You...... When did you come back? ”

"Hehe, you still know to care about this? I've been back for two days, and in the meantime, I've taken care of some important things......"

When he said this, a hint of meaning flashed in Fang Cheng's eyes.

"Oh!"

Xiu'er subconsciously responded.

At this time, when the people nearby saw this scene, they couldn't help but whisper.

"Hey, isn't this Fang Cheng's guy?"

"Why did he come back?"

"Looking at his appearance, it seems that where did he get rich?"

"As soon as I came back, I ran to find Xiu'er...... Is this going to put a hat on your cousin? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiu'er is not that kind of person......"

That's a long story.

Xiu'er is the beloved daughter of this town and the only daughter.

Before leaving the pavilion, it was a well-known lark in the town, with beautiful people and good songs.

Because of this, when I was a girl, I don't know how many matchmakers came to the door to propose. Don't say anything to kick the threshold, anyway, hundreds of miles away, there are people who make a special trip to the door to propose.

However, at that time, Xiu'er already had a crush, that is, Fang Cheng, who is now standing in front of the fish stall.

Fang Cheng back then could be regarded as a little talent, and he could write a few poems by himself if he had nothing to do.

In addition, she has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and Xiu'er can also be regarded as a talented and beautiful woman.

However, after Ning Yuanwai learned his daughter's thoughts, he resolutely disagreed, disgusting Fang Cheng as a nerd with no strength and no business acumen.

If his daughter follows him, she will only live a poor life in the future.

For this reason, Fang Cheng made a special trip to visit Ning Yuanwai and said that he would definitely be good to Xiu'er in the future......

But what's the use of verbal assurances?

If you don't have money, you don't have confidence.

Xiu'er was angry, and no one came to the door to propose marriage, and wanted to fight with her father.

Who knows, about half a year later, Ning Yuanwai cooperated with others to resell illicit salt, and was arrested by the government, and finally sentenced to be executed after the autumn, and the family property was confiscated.

A huge family business has disappeared.

In order to save her father's life, Xiu'er begged everywhere, and even used herself as a bargaining chip, saying that whoever could save her father, she would marry whomever she wanted, even if it was a concubine.

However, no one dared to accept it.

Although many people covet Xiu'er's beauty, Ning Yuan's crime is a capital crime...... In ancient times, the crime of smuggling was quite serious, and it was almost life-threatening to kill the head if caught.

Unless, there is an extremely deep background.

When Xiu'er was isolated and helpless, Fang Cheng didn't know where to hide.

This guy has no money to get through the relationship, and second, he is afraid of being implicated.

But at this time, Fang Cheng's cousin, Fang Yong, stood up and offered to help Xiu'er and save Ning Yuanwai as much as possible.

Xiu'er was grateful, and followed Fang Yong to the official mansion a few times. Moreover, Fang Yong did spend a lot of silver, giving gifts, inviting meals, and so on.

Although he was unable to rescue Ning Yuan in the end, he finally let Xiu'er go to the prison to visit the prison several times.

When the case was over, Fang Cheng came to Xiu'er with a cheeky face, saying that he didn't dislike Xiu'er, he had no money, and everyone could live a little poorer......

But at this time, Xiu'er's heart was already cold.

Although she didn't like Fang Yong, out of gratitude, she finally took the initiative to marry Fang Yong, who was ten years older than her.

In this matter, Fang Cheng was dealt a considerable blow.

After all, he and Fang Yongnai are cousins.

Speaking of which, Fang Cheng and Fang Yong's grandfathers were also a wealthy businessman. After returning to the west, he divided the family property into two and gave it to his two sons, that is, Fang Cheng and Fang Yong's father.

As a result, Fang Cheng's father was a loser, and he ruined the family property in just a few years.

And Fang Yong's father inherited his father's business and ran around in business, although he didn't make a lot of money, but he managed to keep the family business.

After that, Fang Yong also continued to do business as his duty, and he could be regarded as a small rich family in the town.

For various reasons, he has never married.

Actually, Fang Yong helped Xiu'er, and to put it bluntly, he still took a fancy to her beauty.

Xiu'er offered to marry, but Fang Yong naturally couldn't ask for it, and soon married her. Xiu'er has also changed from the eldest lady of the Ning family to Mrs. Fang.

On the day of marriage, Fang Cheng ran to attend the wedding banquet.

At first, it was okay, I drank and didn't say anything.

Later, after drinking too much, he began to go crazy, scolding Xiu'er and Fang Yonggou men and women......

Fang Yong was so angry that he beat Fang Cheng in front of everyone, and humiliated him with words, saying that he had no ability other than to compose a few crooked poems?

Even if he marries Xiu'er, he will only let Xiu'er eat chaff......

A few days after this incident, Fang Yong left the town, and no one knew where he went.

Even, some people say that Fang Yong committed suicide by jumping into the river in shame......

After a few years, people slowly forgot about this guy.

Who knows, after a few years, this guy suddenly ran back again......

Now, there's a lot to see.

Because, the current Xiu'er is once again in trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken my young daughter out to set up a stall to sell fish.

Why?

It was because Fang Yong had gone mad and was willing to donate all his family property......

In order to survive, Xiu'er has to be self-reliant.

"Okay, you don't have to set up a stall in the future, you don't want these fish, come with me!"

Fang Cheng lazily turned and grinded his corners, and said condescendingly at Xiu'er.
