Chapter 228: Poor Man
In the sedan chair, the bolt that had been holding his heart high let out a long breath, turned his head to look at the calm and relaxed master, and felt that he was not productive, so he blushed and asked in a low voice, "Master, why do we have to avoid human eyes when we go out?" ”
Zhao Fengnian lifted the curtain and looked at the street scene outside, and replied, "Because we want to find out the details of those people, we must rely on the help of others, and after we can punish those troublemakers, they will definitely be resentful, and they will not dare to anger us again, so it will inevitably embarrass these people who help each other, and that will not be tiring others." If we avoid people's eyes, those people will also have no worries, and it will be much easier for us to act. ”
The bolt suddenly realized, nodded violently, and said secretly, sure enough, the master is the wisest, let him follow the master, and as soon as he went out, he learned a lot...
Not to mention how the two of them acted, just said, at this time, a tavern in the south of the city was also lively, Chen Erpi, who nodded in front of Xue Qi that night, was holding a wine glass at this time, accepting the flattery of a group of big men, and if you take a closer look, it was the group of people who had just made a fuss in the wine bite.
One of them was carrying a wine jug to pour wine for everyone, and said with a smile, "Our second brother's method is really good, the people in the shop just now were scared stupid, Chu San'er and they are still staring outside, I heard that half of the shadow has never come out, I dare to guarantee that within one day, they will obediently send the shop up with both hands, and when the time comes, the second brother will have a good errand with the seventh master, and the brothers will have a good life." ”
When Chen Erpi heard this, he felt useful, and his face inevitably showed pride, "You rabbit cub, your mouth is the most neat, if there is another good errand for the seventh master in the future, I will be the first to introduce you to pick it up, second brother." ”
"Oh, that's going to thank the second brother for promotion, I'll give the second brother a cup." The man was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to toast.
The rest of the people were not far behind, and they raised their glasses one after another, "We also wish the second brother success!" ”
"Good, good!" Chen Erpi smiled, drank a full glass, remembered another matter, and said, "Then who is next to Xu Xiucai?" ”
The man immediately said, "It's a little dog, that kid is clever, and he promises that nothing will go wrong." ”
Chen Erpi was also relieved, nodded and said, "With such a two-pronged approach, the shop will be firmly in hand." ”
One of the red-faced men was sandwiching the side dishes on the plate and drinking wine, remembering that the wine bit the food in the shop, the taste was a hundred times better than this, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity, and said, "It's just ruining that old soup, the fragrance is really authentic, if you take the medicine, you can't use it anymore." ”
The person next to him had the best relationship with him on weekdays, for fear that Chen Erpi would be angry, so he stretched out his hand and slapped him, and said, "You gluttonous ghost, your vision is too narrow, the second brother has the shop and the recipe, how many jars of old soup can't be cooked, soak you in it and drink enough when the time comes!" ”
Everyone burst out laughing...
Besides, after Zhao Fengnian left, Rui Xue simply took stock of the accounts, and waited for Gao Fuquan to go to the butcher shop across the street to buy the meat skin and come back, so he tied an apron and wore sleeves to teach Cui Niang and Sister-in-law Wang to make the meat skin jelly in the kitchen.
Cui Niang and Sister-in-law Wang didn't know that she was pregnant with two children in her belly, and she was not as careful as her family, Rui Xue suddenly felt much more relaxed, smiled and led the two, carefully plucked the stubble on the pigskin, washed it, and went down to the cauldron, added half a pot of water, a plate of cut cooked elbow meat, two spoons of soy sauce, a small pinch of fine salt, boiled over high heat, and began to boil slowly over a small fire...
The three of them were busy, and there were no guests in the front shop, so they sat on the chair and gossiped, Cui Niang was not long away from the village, but she missed her father and fellow villagers very much, and after asking this and that, Rui Xue was also bored at home for a long time, and it was rare to find someone to gossip, and it was very lively to say, and occasionally forgot to keep secrets, so she revealed that she was pregnant with a dragon and phoenix fetus, which made Cui Niang and Sister-in-law Zhang surprised and delighted, and then taught the parenting scriptures, although there were many superstitious elements, Rui Xue didn't believe it, but she still smiled and nodded.
Caiyun Caiyue served tea and snacks for the three of them, and saw that there was a wooden basin in the yard where the clothes had not been washed, so he rolled up his sleeves, found the mallet, washed one by one, and was busy while laughing.
Dalu and Niuniu squatted aside and watched for a while, the children were so active that they were bored, so they ran into the stove to find their mothers, the two sisters finished washing their clothes and were drying on the bamboo poles in the corner, when they heard the back door next to them being knocked gently, and they walked over with curiosity and asked, "Who is knocking on the door?" ”
The man outside the door seemed to be a little surprised, and asked in a trembling voice, "But... Hyuna and Shu'er? ”
Caiyun Caiyue suddenly felt as if someone had reached out and grabbed her heart, she forgot to gasp, her eyes were full of panic, I don't know how her cheeky father found the shop again?
Caiyun is my sister in the end, she shook her sister's hand and scolded with courage, "Last time we made everything clear, we are the slave of the Zhao family, Caiyun Caiyue, and we are no longer the daughter of your Xu family, don't come to us again." ”
Xu Xiucai heard this outside the door, and was extremely angry when he remembered the embarrassment of that day, but thinking of the benefits promised by the man, he patiently pretended to be pitiful, "Xian'er Shu'er, you are so ruthless, my father has not eaten for three days, and he is about to starve to death, so he begged to come to your door, thinking that even if you don't recognize me as a father, you will treat me as a beggar and give me two cakes, but I didn't expect..."
He pinched his thighs hard for a long time, and finally barely shed two tears out, so his voice was even more choked, "I didn't expect you to be so vicious, I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it..."
Caiyun Caiyue and the two sisters could hear that his voice was indeed not high, as if they were really hungry and had no strength, they looked at each other, they were a little hesitant, so they leaned on the door and asked, "You don't have a family, you have a wife and children, how can you fall to the point of having no food?" ”
Xu Xiucai was secretly happy in his heart, guessing that these two daughters were still unbearable, so he said a set of lies made up in advance, "I was blind, married the harmful woman and came back, she lost the family's property, and she did not repent, and went out to gamble a few days ago, but even the small courtyard where she lived was taken away, your little brother was so hungry and crying, I settled them to sit on the side of the street and wait for me to ask for some food, but when she came back, she was gone, leaving only your little brother there, the woman with no conscience, wait for me to catch her." , she must be beaten to death..."
"What about the little brother?" When Caiyun Caiyue was sold to the house, the little brother was less than a year old, it was when Yuxue was cute, the same bloodline, had a kinship, and they also loved it, but the stepmother refused to let them touch it, and at this time, the little brother was very hungry, and his heart was softer.
"Your little brother I put it in the neighbor's house, I want to go to the former friends to borrow some money and rice to live, but people don't open the door, I have the cheekiness to find here, fortunately you are here, Xian'er Shu'er, it was not right to be a father before, Daddy is a ghost, you just don't forgive Daddy, but also look at your little brother's face, first give Daddy two cakes to cushion your stomach..."
What he said was really pitiful, Caiyun Caiyue was only twelve years old, where could he stand it, the two discussed a few words head to head, and then quietly moved a small chair to the corner of the other side, stood on it, and secretly looked out.
Xu Xiucai was dressed in a long shirt, so dirty that he couldn't see his original color, his hair was unkempt, and he was stained with two straws, leaning on the door frame and crying, sure enough, he was embarrassed and pitiful, Caiyue jumped down, Caiyun went up to look at it again, and believed his words.
The two sisters opened the door cautiously, and when they saw Xu Xiucai's old face that was red in black, as if he was extremely ashamed, his heart was even more uncomfortable, and Caiyun said, "Sister, you are here to accompany you... Well, I'm going to get some food. ”
Caiyue nodded, Caiyun trotted away, Xu Xiucai cautiously looked at her little daughter's face, and asked in a low voice, "Shu'er, is your master good to you, can you beat you or not?" ”
Caiyue snorted coldly and sneered, "Our wife and husband are good to me and my sister, eating, drinking, dressing, and everything, but when I was at home before, I was hungry to do work every day. ”
Xu Xiucai was choked, and said, "In the past, it was all Daddy's fault, but Daddy will definitely change it in the future, and when Daddy finds a good job, he will redeem you when he earns money, and find a good family for you to marry." ”
Caiyue felt sour in her heart, if her father had thought so much before, but unfortunately, now her mother is gone, and her family has been defeated.
Xu Xiucai saw that she was silent, and thought that she was moved, so she said, "Your little brother is still hungry, can Shu'er find some more soft and rotten food, and Daddy can go back and feed your little brother." ”
Caiyue frowned, remembering that they did bring some soft osmanthus cakes from home in the morning, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then you are waiting, I will look for it, you are not allowed to come in, it is seen by the master, and my sister and I can't explain." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll not move a step, you can go quickly." Xu Xiucai reassured again and again, Caiyue trotted away, Xu Xiucai saw that the two daughters were gone, the yard was quiet, and immediately accepted the pitiful look on his face, took out a paper bag from his sleeve, and tiptoed into the yard, swept around, and ran to the clay jar that was bubbling and bubbling...
He doesn't often do bad things, and because he deceived two daughters in a row, his heart was weak, and his wrist holding the paper bag trembled, ruthless and ruthless, and just wanted to send the powder to the vat and sprinkle it in...
In the stove room, Ruixue's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and after sitting on the small chair for a long time, she felt very uncomfortable, so she stood up, beat her back and looked out, and was watching Xu Xiucai's movements in her eyes, and she didn't have time to call people, so she shouted, "Stop!" ”
Xu Xiucai was already scared, and suddenly heard someone shouting, and the medicine bag fell to the ground with a click, his face turned pale with fright, and he looked around in a panic, and saw that in the corner of the courtyard, a big-bellied woman was running with the corner of her skirt, and he was immediately so frightened that he raised his legs that were as soft as noodles, and staggered to the back door.
Rui Xue didn't know where the strength came from, she caught up with him in three or two steps, and kicked him down as soon as she raised her foot, and she had to step forward and kick again, Cui Niang and Sister-in-law Wang, who woke up, had already rushed over, Qi Qi pulled her and shouted, "Boss lady (sister), be careful of your stomach!" ”
Rui Xue remembered that she was still carrying a "ball" in front of her, and immediately reached out to cover her stomach to comfort, "Son and daughter, my mother is to catch thieves, don't make trouble for my mother." ”
