Chapter Twenty-Seven: Not a Good Bird
Towards noon, small and large stalls selling hot soup began to appear on the streets.
There are many kinds of street snacks close to the county school, the most lively, there are many students here, there are few local people in the county, there are some family backgrounds to study abroad, and occasionally fight tooth sacrifices outside, so there are so many restaurants outside the county school.
"What do you want to eat?" Du Yingqiu asked as she looked at a row of steaming vendors with a basket full of New Year's goods on her back.
Shan Tao didn't even think about pointing to a wonton stall closest to the county school, the two sat down and asked the price, the big bowl of four wen and the small bowl of three wen, so they ordered two bowls of wontons, one large and one small.
The thin dough was wrapped in meat filling, and then the hanging soup was beaten, and the aroma was overwhelming, Du Yingqiu handed the chopsticks to the mountain peach, and said, "Add two more eggs." ”
"The eggs you added." The wonton stall has two kettles, does not have a frying function, the eggs are boiled, the store is a warm person, and a stack of crispy pickles is given, "You can eat it fresh." Come to the market to prepare for the New Year, right? ”
"Thank you, uncle." Shan Tao thanked him crisply, nodded and looked at the gate of the county school curiously, "My mother and I are here to catch the market." When I first came back to the county, the first time I saw the county school, didn't they all say that this was a place for scholars? Why are you squatting at the door like a bastard in our village. ”
There were two gangsters squatting along the stairs at the entrance of the county school, all of them were arrogant, their eyes were rolling, and they glanced sideways at passers-by from time to time.
"That's the casino's debt." Busy with the work at hand, the store's mouth was not affected at all, and he had to tell the interesting story of the recent county school.
"There is a student in it, his family is poor, I heard that there is an elder brother who works in the county, and he is addicted to gambling, and the people in the casino are going to die if they can't pay the debt, and now he is coming to pester his younger brother who is studying."
This matter has only recently started, and the neighbors should watch the excitement, and some local people eat wontons here, and when they see someone mentioning it again, they talk about it again.
"I also know, I heard that the student's surname is Shan, and his knowledge is not bad, so I'm waiting to rely on Xiucai this year."
"If you want me to say that this scholar is thin-skinned, he has only heard of the repayment of his father's debts and sons, and has never heard of his brother's debts being repaid, not to mention that the casino killed people and caused losses, and he sued the yamen!"
"You just stand and talk without backache, you must be thinking that the county test is about to be distracted, and you will break the fortune and avoid disasters."
Swallowing the wonton in his mouth, Shan Tao blinked his eyes and asked, "Has this scholar paid back?" ”
"Someone saw him give money to the people in the casino, but the gambling debt is not a small amount, it must not be enough." The diner at the next table replied casually.
Shan Saburo, who has a knot with the second room, has a perfect temperament and inherits Du's slashing door, since he is reasonable, will he choose to break the fortune and avoid disasters?
After brushing through the memory of the original owner, Du Yingqiu lowered his voice and said: "It's not the first time he has taken the county test, and with his half-baked level, he will definitely not worry about the county test being disturbed." Not to mention taking money out. ”
Shan Saburo is a gold-swallowing beast, although Shan Erlang was not stingy in the past, except for this gambling debt, he didn't use the family's money, and he did his own coolies in exchange for wages.
Shan Saburo, who has been studying since he was a child, was held in his hands by the Du family, and most of the money in the public middle school was used by him to study, and he did not see a famous school over the age of twenty.
In a hurry, the gossip on the wonton stall had already been said to others, and I saw a scholar with a face walking out of the gate of the county school, and as soon as he went out, he was hooked by the bastard from the casino and brought to the side of the remote alley.
"Mother, I'm full and want to buy snacks." Shan Tao finished the bowl in two or three bites, wiped his mouth and followed him to the alley.
Du Yingqiu wanted to guard things, and he was not like the mountain peach people who were so good at hiding, so he only told him to be careful and stayed where he was.
No one wanted to mess with the casino bastards, and the three of them hooked up and didn't notice that there was a little doll behind them.
Looking at a pile of debris, Shan Tao squatted behind, raised his ears and began to eavesdrop, and after a little vagueness from a distance, he opened the fairy technique, stared through the debris, closed his mouth, and it was easier to guess.
"Where's the money?" Bastard slapped Yamazaburo's face with a smile, "Last time, I said to spare you for a few days, after this half a month, there will always be a ring, right?" ”
Yamazaburo didn't dare to put up a stand against the two tall bastards, and bent his neck to untie the bag around his waist, "After making up these, after a year, when I go home, I will definitely be able to make up enough for the rest." ”
There were only a few dozen copper plates in the bag, and the bastard sneered and grabbed Yamazaburo's collar: "What about sending Hanako?" Your brother owes a full twenty taels, what's the matter, do you want to follow in your brother's footsteps and lie down and play? ”
Shan Saburo, who didn't know that Shan Erlang was alive and well now, turned pale and swallowed his saliva, "I have a way, as long as I go home." There is a niece in the family, my dead brother, who is worth a few taels of silver when she sells it, and I beg my eldest brother to give me a few more days. ”
Shan Tao, who was listening silently, was speechless for a while, it was really worthy of being his biological mother and son, Shan Saburo had to find a way to be exactly the same as Du's, selling his daughter to pay off his debts.
"I cheated someone's father, and now I want to sell people again, what are you reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and you learned to go to the dog's belly, right?" The bastards in the casino didn't fight for Siya, they just wanted to trample on the dignity of these scholars, and stepped Yamazaburo's face into the mud with a smile.
It was at this time that ridiculed Yamamoto to hear the key message, Yamajiro became addicted to gambling, and it turned out to be caused by Yamazaburo finding someone in the casino.
While the two bastards were still counting the falling mountain Saburo, Shantaoyuan returned the original road and gave Du Yingqiu a look, and the mother and daughter walked towards the outside of the county with their things in their hands.
Listening to what Shan Tao had just overheard, Du Yingqiu's face also turned cold, and he sighed again, "It's also me, no, it's the sin planted by the original owner Du Yingqiu." ”
Du Yingqiu told the story of Shan Erlang and Shan Saburo, which turned out to be a bad fate caused by love.
Du's mother's family is in Dahe Village, because her daughter is more famous, and the countrymen love to give birth to their sons, and they think that their daughters are losing money, but their daughters are cash cows in the Du family.
Just because of the good appearance of the ancestors, the daughters of the Du family are also marked one by one, and there are family heirloom embroidery work, the daughters are easy to marry, and the people from all over the country are married, and the family background has also been saved by the rich dowry.
Du Yingqiu is Du's niece, although she is not as capable as the first few sisters, but her appearance is the best.
Shan Erlang and Shan Saburo are very young, but Du only cares about his own son, and is busy marrying Shan Saburo, and Shan Saburo falls in love with her niece Du Yingqiu.
"The original owner is good-looking and high-spirited, and he is not willing to marry into a peasant family at all, but it is the Du family who lures people to the family on the grounds of going to relatives. In fact, the original owner didn't look down on the mountain family at all, but one night he was drunk and accidentally slept with Shan Erlang all night, and he couldn't get married. ”
Originally, the stepmother Du Shi favored one over the other, and there was a gap between the two brothers, and this hatred of taking his wife added fuel to the fire.
"It's been a lot of years, and he still remembers revenge, which shows that he is a narrow-minded person." Shan Tao is used to seeing the harem and selfishness, and she can hear that she is more tired than Du Yingqiu, who grew up under the red flag, "The original Du Yingqiu, how could an unmarried woman get drunk at her aunt's house?" ”
The past is unknown, but there is no doubt about one thing, this Yamazaburo must not be a good bird.
