Chapter Twenty-One: The Schadenfreude Neighbor

Cheng Qingwan and Song Qiaoqiao led the bucket back home, and after a while, someone sent Yuanqi's carriage over.

The attendants carried bags of grain from the black wagons and put them in the courtyard.

"These are all Yuan-sama's hoards?"

Cheng Qingwan looked at the more than thirty sacks of grain on the ground and was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, my lord said, you can't give you the food for the refugees, so I'll send it right away."

Cheng Hua'er looked at the sack in this place and whispered: "Your adults have taken it out, what will he eat in the future?" ”

"Don't worry, madam, this is still the tip of the iceberg."

Cheng Qingwan raised her eyebrows and did not speak.

The attendant took several packets of herbs from the carriage and handed them to the woman: "This is your medicine, I really can't spare anyone to decoct the medicine these days, and even the adult's medicine has been cut off." I can only take it and bother you to fry it yourself. ”

"Lord Yuan is sick?" Cheng Hua'er said softly: "If it's convenient, bring the medicine of your family, and we'll fry it together." ”

"Then trouble Mrs. Cheng." The attendant hurriedly bowed: "My family is fine, it's just a fever." ”

Cheng Hua'er smiled and responded a few times, and the attendant took the medicine down from the car.

Cheng Qingwan looked at his skillful movements, didn't she really come prepared?

Cheng Hua'er responded with a smile, borrowed the medicine, and sent the person away.

"Lord Yuan has helped our family so much, if you can help with a medicine or something, you can help."

She looked into the eyes of the other three and explained.

Cheng Qingwan lowered her head and laughed twice, and moved the grain to the cellar with Song Qiaoqiao, leaving only the ones to be burned at night.

In the afternoon, the two of them stuffed the wheat rice, picked the vegetables, and prepared to cook them.

Suddenly, a large number of people came to the door, and they rushed straight into the courtyard.

"That's it, my brother brought us here to eat yesterday." Yesterday, the child pointed to Cheng Hua'er, who was decocting the medicine, and said, "It's the cake she gave us." ”

As soon as the words fell, a dozen people knelt down and said loudly, "Please give us something to eat, we have been hungry for many days." ”

As soon as Cheng Qingwan heard the voice, she hurriedly pulled the person who was in place into the house and closed the door.

When the refugees outside the door saw the sound of the door closing, they still did not stop, climbed up and knocked on the door.

"Give us something to eat, a little alms. Female Bodhisattva, you gave them yesterday, give us some too. ”

"There is an adult at the entrance of the village who gives alms, and you can all get food there." Cheng Qingwan took the mask and put it on for the other two.

"No, my brother said, the people there will only stun us and drag us to the battlefield as food."

Cheng Qingwan glanced at the child through the crack in the door, and decided not to speak again.

She could take out the wheat rice on the stove and give them it, but she was afraid that once these refugees were out of control, she would not be able to protect the three women behind her.

Song Daqiang heard the sound, walked out and looked at the refugees all over the ground, and he didn't care about hiding from the epidemic, so he stood on the wall and gloated.

"Ouch, you've come to the right place, their family has a lot of food, but I just saw a carriage come and bring a lot of food."

Cheng Qingwan heard this, and wanted to rush out to kill this gloating person in the next second, this impure fire added fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, when the group of refugees heard these words, they immediately became irritable and wanted to kick in the door immediately.

Cheng Qingwan rubbed her forehead and instructed the people on the side: "Don't open the door." ”

Then, he walked into the kitchen from behind, took the few bowls in the house, filled them with wheat rice, and handed them out through the window.

As soon as the refugees saw that there was food, they rushed up and grabbed it.

Cheng Qingwan was a little late, but fortunately, Song Qiaoqiao also came to help at this time.

The refugees who had been fed were quiet, sitting or squatting on the ground to eat, and the people in the room were finally relieved.

The young man who took the lead yesterday glanced left and right a few times, and asked the girl in the house, "Your husband is not at home today?" ”

Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask a rhetorical question, but then immediately remembered what she said yesterday, and then said, "It's almost dinner, it's time to come back." ”

Song Daqiang, who was watching the excitement in the corner, heard this, and hurriedly said: "Where did she come from, a teenage girl, she doesn't even have a man in her family." ”

"Yes." The man lowered his eyes, hiding the madness in his eyes.

Cheng Qingwan looked at the expression on his face, and the premonition in her heart immediately rose.

She frowned and stared at the man: "Song Daqiang, wasn't the board played last time enough?" Do you want me to find Yuanqi to beat you up again?"

"You!" As soon as Song Daqiang thought of the board, he felt that the injury on his buttocks was not healed, shook his sleeves, and entered the house angrily.

"When will your husband come back, I really want to see what kind of fairy can marry you."

"I don't know when I'll be back, why don't you go to the entrance of the village to look for him?"

The man was dumb and looked at the girl inside through the window.

The back is slender and slim, and it must be comfortable to hold in your arms.

Jia Yi was originally the youngest son of a wealthy merchant in the next county, who would have thought that a big flood would wash away all the concubines in his family.

He hadn't touched a woman for months, and he fled here begging everywhere.

Jia Yi remembered the woman he saw yesterday, although she was a little older, she had a pretty face, convex and backward, and the concubines in his house were not as good as her.

If it was true that there was no man in the house, as the man had just said, he could have come and try it at night......

Cheng Qingwan watched that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the refugees at the door still refused to disperse, so she began to feel anxious.

"Gotta find a way to get them out. Otherwise, the meal will not be delivered. ”

"You're worried about who's going to starve?"

Cheng Qingwan shook her head and nodded again: "I'm afraid that the food won't be delivered, and the refugees will lose control." ”

Song Qiaoqiao was just about to speak, when he saw a familiar figure appear at the door: "Wan Wan, look, Lord Yuan is here." ”

Cheng Qingwan looked over, and there was indeed that person standing at the door.

Yuan Qi looked at the refugees in this place, frowned, and was about to speak, but was attracted by a loud female voice.

"Brother-in-law, you're back."

When this sound went out, everyone was stunned.

Cheng Qingwan stared at the people around her with wide eyes, and hurriedly pulled her sleeve: "What are you calling nonsense?" ”

"That refugee keeps an eye on you, you're going to act like a little bit later."

Cheng Qingwan looked over, and the refugee was indeed staring at herself.

Before she could react, Yuan Qi had already walked to the door of the kitchen.

"At the entrance of the village, there are three meals a day, and I will take you there later."

"Those people at the entrance of the village all want to send us to the battlefield as food, so we don't go, and there is food here." The crouching refugee replied.

Cheng Qingwan frowned when she heard this, the food she cooked was also going to be sent to the entrance of the village.

"Who said that?"

"My brother said that." The kid stood up again, pulled Jia Yi and said, "My brother has a lot of knowledge, he will definitely not harm us, I don't believe you ask him." ”

"Where did you hear that?" Yuan Qi's face was as usual, and his tone was still light.

"I naturally have my source, I'm afraid that you are reluctant to give up your own food, so let's go to the entrance of the village. Your heart is not as big as your mother. Jia Yi stood up and looked him up and down: "Look at you like this, you should be plugged in the door upside down, your son-in-law is not qualified to speak, we won't leave in the next few days, just eat your food here." Maybe I'll stay a few more days and we'll be a family. ”

Yuan Qi was confused when he heard this, turned his head to the people in the house and said, "First find a way to transport the food out, the refugees at the entrance of the village are restless, and I am afraid that after a while, there will be a fight." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded, and immediately turned around with Song Qiaoqiao to prepare.

Hearing this, Jia Yi sneered: "This is meant to be for refugees, but we didn't give it to us just now, does this girl look down on us?" ”

"Don't fan the flames here." A cold light flashed in Yuan Qi's eyes: "If you have any dissatisfaction and have backbone, take these people away now." ”

"You ......" Jia Yi pointed to his nose and sneered: "Let's go, one day, your woman will be in my arms." ”

Yuan Qi frowned when he heard this, what a woman, what a mess.

Cheng Qingwan saw that everyone was gone, and hurriedly opened the door: "This agitation method really works." ”

Yuan Qi nodded slightly, and put the things into the carriage: "You guys are at home, I'll send the carriage back later." ”

Cheng Qingwan nodded, suddenly remembered the medicine that had been decocted, and hurriedly took it and handed it to him: "This is your medicine, drink it while it's hot." ”

Yuan Qi was slightly stunned, took the medicine, drank it in one gulp, handed the pill to the person in front of him, and drove away.

Cheng Qingwan looked at the pill in her hand, and couldn't help but think of when she fed him the antidote pill, he was not as crisp as he is now, and he still wanted to spit it out.

She walked into the house and comforted Cheng Hua'er, who was crying.

"A-Niang, it's okay, they're all gone."

"Wanwan, I thought they were given food, and they left, but I didn't expect it to come back."

Cheng Qingwan sighed, when she didn't go to support, she didn't expect that someone would almost burn the entire volunteer team for a bite to eat.

"I don't blame you, just remember it next time."

Cheng Hua'er wiped her tears and looked up at the person in front of her: "Wanwan, you just said that Master Yuan is your husband, will he be angry?" ”

Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, she spoke: "He... I guess I didn't hear it. ”

Saying this, she immediately turned around and pulled Song Qiaoqiao to the backyard.

"Don't talk nonsense next time."

"Isn't this forced by the situation, that man's thief eyebrows and rat eyes, if he really let him know, there is no man in the family, wouldn't he have to climb the wall in the middle of the night."

Song Qiaoqiao pulled her sleeve: "It's all Song Daqiang's fault, if he hadn't said much, I wouldn't have it." ”

When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she immediately remembered Song Daqiang's schadenfreude.

She looked at it, picked up the hoe in the corner, rolled up her sleeves, and rushed towards the next door.
