Chapter 84: Kind-hearted Xi Yan
"I don't think that kid is an honest man, let's avoid him a little more in the future! In the future, if he comes, you will call us. ”
The villagers were a little embarrassed, and their smiles were kinder.
"Good! I know. ”
Xu Ze's eyes were red, Qiao Xuan stood aside with his arms crossed, and sure enough, the people of Taoyuan Village were very united when they were outside.
When Qiao Xuan left, Xu Ze also left the Zhao family together.
On the road in the village, the two met Xi He, who had returned, and he asked, "Where is this going?" ”
"The old lady of the Zhao family passed away, and I went to the Zhao family" Qiao Xuan replied with a smile, "That's right! Did you meet a black, black, black, strong man on the way back? ”
"Yes! I ran down the path in a hurry, what's wrong? ”
The man ran as fast as he kunched over, and his mouth was swearing, and he didn't look like a good person.
"He is my second uncle, and he wants to take me away," Xu Ze replied in a sullen voice, "He likes gambling the most, and my second aunt was sold by him after losing money." ”
Xi He understood, and said softly: "In the future, we should pay more attention to this, this kind of person will not stop until he achieves his goal." ”
"Thank you big brother for the reminder! I know. ”
Qiao's family, Xi Yan washed the dried jelly seeds, and was busy preparing the ingredients, when she heard the door knock and poked her head out of the kitchen, "Xiao Xuan, I prepared a wooden basin of ingredients, do you think it's enough?" If that's not enough, I'll get some more. ”
Xi He's eyebrows were slightly raised, looking at his sister's appearance, it seemed that the powder in the morning was selling well.
Qiao Xuan went into the kitchen and took a look, "Enough, enough." ”
Xu Ze stood at the door a little cramped, looking curiously into the kitchen, a faint aroma lingering on the tip of his nose, he sniffed, and was just seen by Xi Yan, who turned around.
She smiled and cut a bowl of cold noodles and brought it out, "Hungry!" For you to eat. ”
Everyone in the village knows about the Xu family, and she is no exception, and she is more sympathetic and respectful to the boy in front of her.
"N-no."
Xu Ze retreated embarrassedly, he didn't dare to take it, he came to Qiao Xuan to exchange for broken silver, how could he be embarrassed to rub other people's food for nothing.
Xi He took out a stool from the house, "There are a lot of things made at home, come and sit and eat." ”
"Yes, you're welcome!" Qiao Xuan also said with a smile.
Xu Ze glanced at the bowl in Xi Yan's hand, swallowed his saliva, and finally took it with a red face, "I can help you with the work!" I am very diligent, and I can do dirty work, tiring and heavy work. ”
Xi Yan's eyes rolled, "What's the work?" ”
"That's fine!"
Xu Ze was a little relieved when he heard this, sat down and took a big bite to eat.
Qiao Xuan went back to his room to get the broken silver, and Xi He sat next to Xu Ze and poured him a cup of tea.
"Sister, what am I doing?" Xu Ze asked immediately after eating a bowl of cold noodles.
"From tomorrow onwards, follow us to the town every day to sell powder, do you want to go?" Xi Yan is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, looking at the black, thin and thin child, she felt pity, so she found a reason to help him.
You must know that even Li Yue did not take the initiative to invite them to join them.
"Go!" Xu Ze agreed without thinking about it, he was inevitably lonely at home alone, if he was with the village chief, he could still be a companion, and by the way, he returned the favor of the village chief to help him.
"Cheng, then I'll come over tomorrow morning."
After Qiao Xuan exchanged money for Xu Ze, Xu Ze didn't stay long, and soon went back.
Early the next morning, at the entrance of the village.
Li Yue saw that yesterday's melons were selling well, and today she even used the board car at home, and pulled a car full of watermelons.
"So much?" Xi Yan exclaimed.
Li Yue and Wang Gui smiled embarrassedly, they were also thinking about how much they could sell, in case there was a rich shopkeeper like Xi Yan and them yesterday who was willing to order more.
Xu Ze was carrying a small basket on his back, which contained some ingredients for the cold powder, and he looked at the Wang family and his wife curiously.
"Is Ozawa coming with us?" Li Yue held the cart, and the group chatted while walking.
Unexpectedly, when I was about to arrive at Qingfeng Village, I met Zheng Yanli and several other women in the village.
Li Yue pouted, what bad luck! Why did I meet again?
"Village Chief, you're going to the town, right, let's go together!" Zheng Yanli, who was originally walking in front, deliberately waited for Qiao Xuan and them.
Qiao Xuan was holding a bamboo basket in his arms and blushing because he was exerting himself, "I'm afraid you're not waiting for us, right?" ”
Zheng Yanli was not ashamed to be pierced, and smiled and looked at Li Yue's car, "Are you going to sell watermelons?" Can it be sold? ”
"It's your business!" Li Yue said angrily.
Xu Ze walked silently beside him and did not speak, but his eyes revealed a little worry.
Zheng Yanli followed Qiao Xuan and them until Qiao Xuan and them set up a stall in front of the rouge shop and did not leave.
"I always feel that she has bad intentions," Li Yue said thoughtfully as she stared at Zheng Yanli's back.
"I'm afraid you don't want to learn from us again," Xi Yan muttered.
Qiao Xuan and Xi He stood together, Xi He didn't seem to have anything to do today, he didn't leave after accompanying Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan to the town, and stayed by the stall all the time.
"Hurry up and send the powder ordered by Shopkeeper He yesterday!"
Qiao Xuan reminded Xi Yan that the powder for He Wu was set aside separately, and Xi Yan hurriedly went after putting the powder and ingredients together.
"Good you liar! Today I finally got you. ”
Qiao Xuan was standing in front of the stall, and was about to open his throat to shout, when he was surrounded by seven or eight tall men.
"What are you going to do?" Xi He stepped forward and pulled Qiao Xuan behind him.
Qiao Xuan narrowed his eyes and caught Zheng Yanli, who was sneaky behind a small stall not far away, and the women in the village.
Even Wang Gui and Li Yue looked like they were facing a great enemy, "Don't look for trouble!" We do our part in business. ”
"Pay back!" The man at the head stretched out his hand towards Xi He and roared with angry eyes.
"When did I owe you money?" Xi He frowned.
"You are the son of Wang Dajuan's old woman?" Qiao Xuan's small hand tugged at Xi He's sleeve and motioned him not to speak yet.
"It's good to know! Hurry up and return the money, the dead girl cheated my mother of a tael of silver, and said that I can't have a son, and my son will ruin my family, listen! What is this. ”
The more the man spoke, the more angry he became, his fists creaked, and he wanted to rush over and pinch Qiao Xuan to death.
"The money is two, your mother voluntarily came to ask for a hexagram, how can there be a person who is not satisfied with the hexagram and turns his face to cheat, if you don't believe me, then you can go and add a grandson to her, try to see if my calculation is true or false."
Qiao Xuan sneered, "I didn't put a knife on her neck and asked her to give me silver." ”
"I don't lack that tael of silver, but what is mine is mine, and no one can owe me anything."
