Chapter 18: The Turning Point (3)
All afternoon, Ming Fei listened to the movement outside with his ears sideways. In the evening, an acquaintance finally sneaked up to her and told her: "The mother-in-law of the sweet potato asked me to tell you that your family is not dead, and she saw that someone snatched it from the hands of the second dog." The second dog's blue eye was hit by that person. ”
Ming Fei was surprised: "Who is that?" ”
The boy shook his head: "The sweet potato lady said, let you keep the silver for her first, it's late today, and I'll talk about other things tomorrow." ”
Ming Fei grabbed a handful of maltose and gave it to the child: "I know." ”
Jiao Tao asked Ming Fei: "What is the third lady going to do?" ”
Ming Fei said: "Let's wait for now." "Presumably, more and more people will come to the door. After dark, a few more people came one after another, but they were all blown away by the Wu family's long-term workers.
As soon as the cook received Jiao Tao's money, she consciously and voluntarily went to inquire about Ming Fei's news. After coming back, he told Jiao Tao that the outside said that Ash was not dead, at least no one saw the second dog eating dog meat, and no one found the dog skin and dog blood or anything, and the bruises on the eyes of the second dog were indeed beaten this morning.
That night, after Ming Fei's master and servant cleaned, they bolted the doors and windows, turned off the lights and went to sleep, Ming Fei said: "Sister Jiao Tao, did you give the cook money?" ”
Jiao Tao said: "A few copper coins." ”
Ming Fei said: "I'll pay you back tomorrow." ”
Jiao Tao turned over and said, "No need, this money ......" She made up her mind and said: "This money was originally yours, and it was collected by the eldest prince and the slave maid for you." "This money is kept for emergencies, I originally thought that Ming Fei was a child who was ignorant, and I didn't dare to let her know, who knew that Ming Fei was such a person, so it was nothing to tell her.
Ming Fei was silent for a moment and said, "Can you tell me how many there are?" Although it is too early to draw conclusions at this time, Cai Dagongzi is really good to his sister.
Jiao Tao said: "Sixty taels of silver." Two thousand dollars. In order to hide from Mrs. Yu and Jiao Xing, she spent a lot of effort to hide the money. When the coachman Lao Qi was still there, he hid it in Lao Qi's place, and on the day when Yu Pozi and Jiao Xing were leaving, Lao Qi secretly handed it over to her, and then she was very careful to hide it in a clay pot.
Ming Fei was happy, but also a little disappointed, this money was kept by Jiao Tao, and she couldn't take it out at will to pay off the money of the virtual calf's nose, she had to find another way. Counting the time, Qingxu should also look for her to get the money she owes, why haven't you seen him come yet?
Jiao Tao said in a low voice: "Third Miss, do you think Ash is really alive?" If you're still alive, why don't you come back? Did someone really save it? ”
Ming Fei said: "I don't know either. Let's wait and see. ”
Jiao Tao originally wanted to tell Ming Fei about Yan'er and Ergouzi outside, but she thought that such a young child couldn't say that those messy things had polluted her ears, and the eldest prince would not spare herself if he knew it in the future, so he just left.
Early in the morning of the second day, the child who reported the news yesterday slipped in to report the news again, and asked Ming Fei to go to the sweet potato house immediately, saying that he had found Ash.
Ming Fei knew that sweet potatoes and his mother-in-law were honest people, and it didn't matter much if she went to her house to take a look, but for the sake of safety, she still had to ask Fang'er and the cook to find an excuse to accompany her to the rest of the Wu family.
Fang'er couldn't follow, she was locked up by the Wang family, and she was no longer allowed to interact with Ming Fei. She felt very uncomfortable, she heard Wang Shi and Yan'er cursing Ming Fei behind her back yesterday, and even scolded her with a bad face, and knew that because she was afraid that the splashes would be bad to Yan'er, Wu Xiansheng specially brought wine, meat and money to find Li Zheng to help. This is all caused by Ming Fei's earth-shattering actions.
She felt that Ming Fei had changed a lot after her injury this time, which made her feel very strange, as if she had never known this person. Although it was wrong for her sister to want to kill Ash, she was just a dog, how could Ming Fei say such cruel words? How can a dog compare to a person's arm? She told Jin Zhu about her doubts, and Jin Zhu said that people will become rich when they are rich. Is Ming Fei really like this because she has money? She felt aggrieved and puzzled, she tried her best to help Ming Fei, why couldn't Ming Fei look at her face?
The cook lady got the benefit, and secretly met outside with the Wu family and Ming Fei behind her back, and went to the sweet potato house together. With five big and three rough cooks as bodyguards, Ming Fei felt a lot more at ease, but Fang'er felt a little guilty because of her suffering. But it is impossible for her to forgive the Wu family and give up revenge because of this, especially today Wu Xiansheng, Wang Shi and Yan'er, the resentment in her eyes when she saw her, so that she could not have any remorse.
Today is different from the past, the villagers saw Ming Fei, their expressions were strange, Ming Fei greeted them calmly, the tone of the villagers was a little more polite and careful, and no one dared to call her a broom star in front of her.
The sweet potato family lived on the edge of the woods at the west end of the village, a little far from the village, and there were no people around.
Ming Fei was overjoyed, and when the door opened, Ash and Ash greeted him happily with one leg and wagging his tail, and circled around Ming Fei with his head close to his ears, making love very much. Ming Fei carefully touched its bones, but fortunately it was not broken.
The sweet potato was not at home, and the sweet potato lady smiled and led the cook to the house, let her roast the fire, and pulled Ming Fei into another room, saying that she wanted to talk to Ming Fei about remuneration.
The windows of this room in the sweet potato house are very small, dim and dark, the air is not circulated, and a brazier is burned, and there is a special smell of candles and cigarettes in the turbid and stuffy atmosphere. A person sat in the corner, looking at Ming Fei with burning eyes.
Ming Fei was startled, and was about to turn around and walk out, when the man lowered his voice and said, "I found the dog, you don't want to admit it?" ”
Ming Fei only recognized that this was Bai Fengguan's Qingxu when he heard the voice, and guessed that he probably came to ask for the fifty taels of silver, because it was not good to explain it in front of the sweet potato mother-in-law, so he said: "Of course I admit it." But I only took the lump of silver, yours or hers? Or do you divide it yourself? ”
Qingxu glanced at the sweet potato lady and said with a smile: "What I want is five taels of silver." Why, I'm willing to give her that silver bracelet. ”
Ming Fei thought he was referring to the fifty taels of silver, so he said, "I only brought one or two taels of silver, and there is not much for the time being." She hinted to him that she would find a way to pay back the money she owed him as soon as possible.
Qingxu said: "You don't want to admit it? Let me tell you, when the second dog wanted to kill your dog yesterday, I only saved the dog. See the dark blue on his eyes, right? That's what I called. One punch plus a dog's life, is it worth five taels of silver? It's much better than a dog dying and you go down someone's arm again and get into a mess, right? ”
Only then did Ming Fei know that he really wanted to earn the five taels of silver, so he had to take out the piece of silver made of the silver bracelet from his arms and hand it to Qingxu: "I didn't say no, I really didn't bring so much money, you take this first." ”
Qingxu threw the lump of silver to the sweet potato lady and glanced at her, and the sweet potato lady went out with a smile and closed the door. Not long after, a conversation between her and the cook came from outside the door: "Wait a minute, Fei Fei has gone to the pit of the mao, big girl, pick up some melon seeds and come up for your sixth aunt to eat and play." ”
Qingxu looked at Ming Fei and smiled ill-willedly: "You are very rich?" For the sake of a stupid dog, you can take out five taels of silver, and when will the fifty taels of silver owed to me be delayed and given to me? If you dare to repay your debts, believe me or not? As he spoke, his gaze fell on the little golden longevity lock on Ming Fei's chest, and the fox's eyes suddenly flashed.
This cunning and money-loving calf's nose saw the degree of shamelessness of the silver, but Ming Fei had a deep understanding, she vigilantly stuffed the longevity lock into her collar, took a step back, and said, "I said that I won't repay the debt, what else do you want?" I have twenty taels of silver from me, and you take them first, and in a few days I will give you the rest. ”
Qingxu had already stood up and stood in front of her, blocking her retreat: "You must be scolding me in your heart, right?" Do you think I'm lying to you? Ergouzi, how could I, a thirteen-year-old person, hit him and still rescue Ash Ash? So you don't want to give me these five taels of silver? Isn't it? ”
Ming Fei looked at his sly smile and said calmly: "It doesn't matter to me whether it's true or not." All I know is that it's enough that Ash is still alive. It's not impossible to give you five taels of silver, but you have to take the ashes back, no matter where you are, in short, you can't let it suffer and suffer. "She can't raise ashes anymore, she got away with it this time, so what about next time? Dogs are much more trustworthy than living people, and when she was the most pitiful and depressed, she never abandoned her, and it was this dog.
