"Huh! Boy. ”

Qiao Xuan was stunned, did the people of Taoyuan Village find any business opportunities? Can't you sell something else? All of them sell tea, neatly and neatly.

Surprisingly, some stalls have really good business.

"Village chief, are you going back?"

From time to time, someone greeted Qiao Xuan and them, and swept the things on the ox cart where Qiao Xuan and them were sitting with their eyes.

"Well, go back, you guys keep busy!" Qiao Xuan smiled and waved his hand, responding to everyone.

Xi He had no superfluous expression in his cold face, Xi Yan was quite speechless, these people can really follow suit.

At the entrance of the village, an old lady was carrying a broom in her hand, and as soon as Qiao Xuan's ox cart came over, she began to curse.

"God really doesn't open her eyes, why doesn't this kind of cheap girl follow her father to die? He stayed in the village and harmed us all. ”

"I even want to coax my daughter-in-law to take my coffin book away! Do you want to be shameless? Trying to force me, the poor old lady, to death. ”

Qiao Xuan: "......"

Xi Yan: "......"

Xi He frowned.

Li Yue and Wang Gui looked at each other, and the person in front of them was Zheng Yanli's mother-in-law, who was over seventy years old this year, full of silver hair, although she was old, her body was extremely tough.

On another path, Zheng Yanli came upside down and stopped in front of her mother-in-law, "Mother, don't!" Don't look for the village chief. ”

She made an excuse that her mother's brother wanted to get married, so she wanted to borrow some money, but unexpectedly, her mother-in-law went to her mother's house to ask, and after knowing that she was lying, she repeatedly asked questions, and finally she had to say that Qiao Xuan forced her to ask for money.

The mother-in-law rushed out of the door in a rage to come to Qiao Xuan to settle accounts, but the real reason for this incident could not be known, and Zheng Yanli really had no choice.

"Smack!" A slap slapped Zheng Yanli in the face, and the old lady roared imposingly, "You eat dog things outside the grill and get out of the way, you are afraid of this dead girl, I am not afraid!" ”

Zheng Yanli's tearful appearance was very pitiful, but it could not arouse the sympathy of Qiao Xuan and the others, and the poor people must have something to hate.

The old lady's voice was so loud that some nearby villagers came over to watch the excitement.

There are people who are not afraid of being burned and are still smiling and asking, "Old woman, what's wrong?" Make such a big fury. ”

"What's wrong?" The old lady sneered, "This little evil instructs my family to steal my family's money from her." ”

"Huh? And what's going on? Everyone was surprised, and all kinds of eyes suddenly fell on Qiao Xuan's body.

Qiao Xuan looked at the angry old lady in front of him with a cold expression.

Zheng Yanli glanced at Qiao Xuan timidly, and chuckled in her heart, for fear that Qiao Xuan would tell her own affairs if she was angry.

"Mother, don't talk nonsense, the village chief didn't force me! It's me who is not good, I cheat you out of your money. ”

She was heartbroken, and hurriedly took the matter to herself, at most, she was taken home by her mother-in-law and beaten up, so that she could save her reputation.

"Humph! I don't know who you are? The old woman glared at Zheng Yanli.

Xi He's low and cold voice sounded, "Zheng Yanli smashed our stall with people from other villages, if this lady doesn't believe it, you can go to the county government gate to ask for verification, or go to the town to inquire." ”

Zheng Yanli didn't go to the county government at all, and she couldn't find anything when she inquired in the town, but what Xi He said was serious, which made people feel that it was indeed true.

The sights that fell on Qiao Xuan disappeared and shifted to Zheng Yanli's body.

I really didn't see it, Zheng Yanli can do this kind of thing, no matter how Qiao Xuan is, he is also from Taoyuan Village, and the behavior of hooking up with other villages to pit his own villagers is very contemptible.

Zheng Yanli had no way to refute it, because what Xi He said was half-true and half-false.

The old lady's hand holding the broom tightened, and after hesitating for a moment, she continued to stiffen, "Fart!" My daughter-in-law is not such a person. ”

"Yes or no, it's not up to you," Xi He continued, "If you don't give this money, then don't blame us for not remembering the same village and going to the yamen to sue her." ”

"That's right!" Qiao Xuan nodded, "Zheng Yanli did something wrong first, and now you are insulting me indiscriminately, and it is impossible for you to give this money away." ”

"In three days, if we can't take it out, we'll see you at the yamen!"

After finishing speaking, the ox cart spared the old lady and Zheng Yanli and walked to the village.

"Harm! I really didn't see it, Zheng Yanli, you're pretty good! Didn't they tell us a few days ago that people from other villages smashed your stall? Today you smashed the village chief's stall. ”

Someone laughed playfully.

The old lady held a broom and hit Zheng Yanli on the head and face, "I'll just say it!" I asked you why, and I didn't say if you were alive or dead, so it was. ”

"Someone grabbed his pigtails, you say! What will we do with this silver? ”

A series of insults sounded in the village, and Zheng Yanli screamed when she was beaten, but she never opened her mouth to refute.

In the courtyard of Qiao's house.

"If she knew it was so miserable, she should have been a little more scheming."

Xi Yan sighed, "Now I haven't gotten anything, not to mention that I have lost fifteen taels of silver in vain, and I have been beaten and scolded by others." ”

Qiao Xuan was noncommittal, sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea slowly.

Xi He sat in the shade of a tree and flipped through a yellowed book, which was given to him by his teacher when he went to his teacher's house last time.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

A black horse stopped at the door of Qiao's house, and someone knocked on the door and stood outside loudly and asked, "Is this Qiao's house?" ”

Qiao Xuan and Xi He walked over and opened the door.

"Yes! Who are you? ”

Qiao Xuan looked at the person who came, and the person who came was a middle-aged man, dressed in black clothes, with a long sword pinned to his waist.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick lips, and a slender nose bridge.

"Who is Qiao Yuan's daughter?" The man asked after glancing at Qiao Xuan and then at Xi Yan.

"I am!"

The man's eyes fell on Qiao Xuan, and he took out a letter from his arms, "Your father's letter to you!" ”

His expression was condensed, giving him a very bad feeling.

Qiao Xuan opened the letter on the spot after receiving it, and Qiao Yuan said in the letter that he suddenly contracted a vicious disease, and he was afraid that he would not have much time, and he wanted to see his daughter for the last time.

"What's wrong?" Xi He and Xi Yan didn't lean over to read what was written on the letter, but they asked with some concern when they saw Qiao Xuan's face change.

"My father called me to see him" Qiao Xuan replied, the letter was indeed written by the original owner's father, and the handwriting was exactly the same.

Qiao Xuan quickly made a decision and prepared to follow the man in front of him to see Qiao Yuan.

Xi He didn't worry about her going out alone, so he insisted on accompanying her, and everything at home was handed over to Xi Yan.

"Don't worry! I can take care of the family, you can go with peace of mind and come back early. ”

Xi Yan stood at the door of the house and watched Qiao Xuan and Xi He follow the man in black to leave Taoyuan Village.
