Chapter Ninety-Six: Back Alley

Grandma Qi San hit her head and couldn't help but scold. Later, the Wangcai family hurriedly came over, saying that the carriage was broken, and then suddenly stopped.

Xun Qingran picked up the curtain and saw that the carriage was parked in a narrow alley, with large and small courtyards on both sides, and a few children were playing in the open space outside the gate.

“…… This is the back alley of our house, and the people who live in the house are all the people in the house. The third grandmother, the fourth grandmother, there is still a section of road to the house, and the car can't be repaired for a while, please show the two grandmothers. ”

There is also a carriage in the back, although it is a subordinate seat, it is not as comfortable as this carriage, but it can also sit and go home. It's just that there were originally several girls crowded into the car, plus Xun Qingran and Grandma Qi San, it was bound to be impossible to squeeze so many people.

Grandma Qi San just hurt and was not injured, and reprimanded the Wangcai family and the car driver, and had no choice but to give up. She had apparently thought of the carriage behind her, too.

"That's it, that's it, I have to be wronged. Fourth brother and sister, I will reluctantly take that carriage back, and another carriage will be sent from the house to pick you up. ”

Obviously, she wanted to seize the carriage and leave Xun Qingran, as if she was wronged and how much she owed her.

"Third sister-in-law, how can you be wronged, you are the elder, or I will go back and call a good car to pick up the third sister-in-law."

Grandma Qi San was a little embarrassed when she heard this, "That's embarrassing." I'm the elder, so I have to take care of my younger siblings. ”

"Why should the third sister-in-law be polite to me." Xun Qingran said, and walked back.

"Alas, it's been more than half a day, and Brother Mao doesn't know what happened at home, it's really worrying." Grandma Qi San said.

Xun Qingran smiled secretly, this third grandmother Qi was at the card table, and people persuaded her that when she didn't come down, how could she ever think about her brother Mao, but at this time, she remembered it.

"Since the third sister-in-law is in a hurry to go back to see Brother Mao'er, then I'll let the third sister-in-law go first." Xun Qingran stopped.

"Oh, then, well, I'll get someone to send a car as soon as I get back." Grandma Qi San was not polite.

Grandma Qi San got in the car and took her girl away. Citron, celery, malt and aster all got off the car and accompanied Xun Qing to dye.

The group of children had already seen the carriage stopped, and they all came to look at it curiously. Two of them ran over, looked at it, and then turned around and ran away.

"Grandma, do you want to get in the car and wait, or go to the slave's house to sit down. The slave's house turned around the corner of the alley, and there were not many steps. The Wangcai family sent the little maid home, and she stayed with Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran looked in the direction of Wangcai's finger, there was no end in sight to the long alley, and he had to turn around, thinking that he was not close to the Wangcai family.

"It's really the fourth grandmother, the slave Chen De's family will say hello to the fourth grandmother." A daughter-in-law walked out of the door next to her and gave Xun Qing a salute.

Xun Qingran took a look, it turned out to be Chen De's family, and she was accompanied by her two children, who were once brought into the house to show Xun Qing, the girl Guiya, the boy is called Xiaoyuan.

"You're going to live here?" Xun Qingran asked.

"I also want to thank my grandmother for her grace and giving the slave family this place to live. It's not the slave on duty today, so I came back to see it, and I was cleaning up in the house, and the two children told the slave that they had seen their grandmother. Grandma's car broke down and she couldn't walk for a while. Grandma didn't dislike it, so she went to the slave house and sat down. Grandma rest assured, the slave's house is still clean. ”

Xun Qingran nodded and agreed, and everyone entered Chen De's house.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, but they are clean. Chen De's family opened the cabinet, took out two new mattresses, spread them on the kang and asked Xun Qing to sit down. I was busy putting up the charcoal basin again, and I had to go to the kitchen to boil water. Xun Qingran asked a few girls to help.

"No, no, where did the girls do all this menial work. I'm used to it, and my girl and boy can help light the fire. Chen Dejia waved his hand. Guiya and Xiaoyuan didn't need to be ordered, they had already gone to the kitchen to light the fire.

Although Chen Dejia said this, Citron still followed, but Cai Qin only stood next to the charcoal basin and had no intention of helping, so Xun Qingran sent Aster to help.

After a while, Chen De's family put together the charcoal basin, and the citron also brought hot tea.

"That's all there is to the slave family, which is produced by Zhuangzi. Grandma doesn't dislike it, just taste it, it's clean. ”

Chen De's family brought a few more plates. One plate is fried shelled peanuts, one plate of air-dried chestnuts, and one plate of large red dates.

Xun Qingran nodded. She arranged Chen De's family in the laundry, and also asked the bellflower to check carefully, I heard that he was a quick worker, and today I saw that it was really the case.

When Chen De's family sent these, they stood next to them with their hands down, and Guiya and Xiaoyuan also stood beside Chen De's family in a proper manner, not noisy.

Xun Qingran nodded secretly, and asked Malt to grab some food for the two children, and asked how Chen De's family lived in the back alley.

"Grandma's grace, now this small courtyard, four or five rooms, only the slave family lives, very spacious. The neighbors are all from the house, and they also take care of each other......"

Chen Dejia was talking, and suddenly there was a noise outside, the sound grew from small to large, and gradually mixed with crying and scolding. Chen Dejia couldn't help but keep his mouth shut.

"Criminal, you know that I am a person with a body, and these firewoods are placed here to cause me to fall and have a miscarriage. Where have I offended you, why is your heart so black? A woman's shrill voice said.

"Little green girl, our firewood has been placed in this place since ancient times. If you have a body, you shouldn't crook people. To put it bluntly, my heart is black, why am my heart black, Xiaoqing girl, you have to touch your conscience when you speak. Another slightly hoarse woman's voice said.

"Which crooked person sent you, who in this courtyard doesn't know that your heart is black. You see, you're still glaring at me, alas, help, help, the criminal's bullying, one corpse and two lives. Boss, you're back, you call the shots. If you don't come back, this torturer will destroy your Wu family's species. ”

"What's the matter, which one is so lawless and bullying me that I haven't been at home for a long time?"

"Little young girl, you have to speak with your conscience. I'm going to offend you, you just say, why don't you buckle the basin on my head. If you call my sister-in-law when you use me, and call me a torturer when you don't need it, I don't care about you. Who in this neighborhood doesn't know, since you are pregnant, you say that you can't work, and I am doing the dirty work in this yard alone. I am also a woman, and it is not easy to know that you are heavy. Help you run errands, do work for you, and I don't complain. You say I can do anything, but we are honest people, we have never had bad intentions, not a single ant can bear to step on it, you put your life on me......"

"Don't quibble, the second master just gave the order to drive your family out. Now that you've got your acquaintance cleaned up and left, I'll give you some face. Otherwise, the second master sent two people to beat you out, and you don't have to complain. ”

"What's going on?" Xun Qingran asked Chen De's family.

Chen Dejia's face was indignant.

“…… There were three families living in that courtyard. This is going to be the youngest, the man's name is Xiao Song, he is the second master's little servant, he said that he followed the second master out to run errands, and he only came back this morning. This woman's name is Xiaoqing, and she is the daughter-in-law that the second master bought for Xiaosong from outside. The surname of the family who was kicked out is Xing, the man is called Xing Laoshi, and the female slaves all call her Xing's sister-in-law. He has no children and a half-paralyzed old lady at home. The two of them are filial. There is another family in that yard, surnamed Yan, the male is the janitor, and the female is in the yard of the second grandmother. Xiao Song's family is better than the Yan family, and there is only one more honest family. This torturer is honest and the family is honest, not much to say, willing to suffer, and usually it's okay, but this daughter-in-law named Xiaoqing has her own body, and somehow she suddenly can't tolerate this torturer, it's just a small fight, how can she make trouble today to get rid of people. ”

As the house spoke, the yard next door became even more lively.

"Don't talk about it, let's go." Xing Laoshi came out of the house and pulled his daughter-in-law into the house.

"Let's go, where are we going, it's so cold, my mother is still sick, where are we going. Brother Komatsu, where did we offend you, I will make amends to you and give our family of three a way out. Sister-in-law Xing begged the little guy.

The little guy snorted coldly, "You guys are bullying my daughter-in-law while I'm not there, what kind of crime do you accompany, don't leave quickly!" ”

"Wronged, when did I bully her, only she bullied me." Xing's sister-in-law called injustice.

"You come in, let's pack up and leave immediately, I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive if I have hands and feet." The torturer took his daughter-in-law into the house.

"We're not afraid, and my mother. I won't be able to find a place for a while, and my mother won't be able to survive. ”

Xing Laoshi didn't let his daughter-in-law speak, and pulled his daughter-in-law into the house. On the other side, the door of the confinement room opened, and the Yan family walked out, greeted the little couple and the couple, and leaned against the door, eating melon seeds while looking at the prisoner's house.

After a while, the honest couple came out of the house, and the sister-in-law carried two deflated burdens on her shoulders, and the honest family hunched her waist and carried the old lady of the criminal family on her back.

"Son, where are we going?" The old lady asked in a trembling voice.

"Mother, let's find a good place to live." The torture replied honestly.

"Where is there a good place, our family has been in this house for several lifetimes, you can't be ungrateful. Son, why is it so cold? Son, can't we stay one night and then leave? It looks like it's getting dark. ”

"Mother......

"I want to stay another day, stop dreaming, wait for someone to beat you with a stick, it's not so cheap." The little daughter-in-law looked at the three of them in disgust.

Xing Laoshi's footsteps only stopped, and he continued to walk towards the courtyard gate.

"Brother Criminal, the rules in our house are that you can only take away your clothes, and everything else belongs to the master, so you can't take it away. I'm in charge of things in the house, big brother, don't make it difficult for me. The Yan family's opening stopped the three of them, and while glancing at the little couple, they snorted at the burden on Sister-in-law Xing's shoulder.

The little guy stepped forward and wanted to snatch Sister-in-law Xing's burden, "This can be checked, who knows what you took away." ”

The little guy snatched the burden, and ripped it open, and an old garment was scattered on the ground, and finally with a clang, a piece of something fell down.

"Alas, you little girl, the old woman fought with you."
