Chapter XXVIII

Wang Lezi's threatening words were like a magic spell, lingering in Lin Shuiyao's heart for a long time.

Lin Shuiyao's face was full of worry, and a touch of determination flashed in her eyes.

Even if he knelt at the door of Lin's house, he couldn't let Xiao Feng serve this errand! Not to mention his relationship with the Lin family, just the fact that Xiao Feng cured his grandfather's illness is a great favor, and it should be enough to suppress this matter.

"Husband, I ......"

Xiao Feng met Lin Shuiyao's gaze, saw her thoughts, and shook his head with a smile: "It's okay, I can settle this matter." ”

The documents issued by the government are not so easy to take back, even if the Lin family helps him to suppress this paper appointment, Wang Lezi will not give up.

Wang Lezi has repeatedly provoked, he has long been unbearable, and he dares to beat my wife's idea, and he must be killed!

If you can take this opportunity to move around, wouldn't it be a great convenience for future business?

At this thought, Xiao Feng's eyes crossed a glint of essence, gently hugged Lin Shuiyao into his arms, and comforted him: "As a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is also fortunate to be able to do a modest contribution to the country, it is better than being a scholar for nothing." ”

Lin Shuiyao was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help but quietly raise her head, and Xiao Feng at this moment seemed to have become taller in her eyes, which had never been done before.

Niu Daquan looked at the husband and wife from the side, his face was a little unnatural, he coughed a few times, and said, "That bamboo rat business? ”

"I'll bother Uncle Niu to take care of it for a few days."

Seeing that Xiao Feng already had an idea in his heart, Niu Daquan didn't want to say anything more, and said goodbye and left.

The government is located in the county, about half an hour away from the village, although you can go home to live every day, but in comparison, the time is not so free, and Lin Shuiyao is home alone, in case of an accident, I am afraid that it will be too late to rush back as soon as possible.

As for the Lin family, they are one of the best in the county, and it is definitely safer to let his wife live there than at home, and Xiao Feng already has a way out in his heart, if there is no benefit to be gained, he will not stay for a moment.

Xiao Feng helped his wife sit down on the edge of the bed, "You go back to your parents' house for a few days first, and I won't be long before I take you home." ”

Because Lin Shuiyao insisted on marrying Xiao Feng, she almost broke with her family, and since then, she has never gone back to her mother's house, so that this time her grandfather, who has loved her the most since childhood, is seriously ill, and she has no chance to take care of her.

It would also be good to take this opportunity to go home and spend a little more time with my mother and grandfather.

Lin Shuiyao smiled, took out a few clean and tidy clothes from the closet, and carefully stacked them neatly.

It was twilight, the sunlight penetrated through the old window, draped a faint crimson on the wife's face, and the perennial dim home in the memory suddenly became bright, and the old wardrobe with patent leather falling was the only decent piece of furniture in the house, with white and gray mottled walls, and it was simply broken.

This is Xiao Feng's real sense of looking at this family, his predecessor was addicted to gambling like his life, all the valuable things in the family were pawned cleanly, and even his wife's dowry became a bargaining chip on the gambling table.

The guilt is like the mud in the depths of the lake, rising little by little with the stirring, floating in my heart, obviously it is not my own doing, but the picture in my memory is so vivid, and my heart is deeply stinging.

Xiao Feng got up and hugged Lin Shuiyao from behind, his voice was as low as a wounded wolf, "Believe me, we will definitely have a better life." ”

Lin Shuiyao's eyes were misty, she reflexively threw herself into Xiao Feng's arms, and all the previous grievances broke the embankment at this moment, crying and crying.

The remaining silver on Xiao Feng's body is about sixty or seventy taels, and he kept twenty taels for himself, no matter how Lin Shuiyao refuses, he still stuffs the remaining silver taels to his wife.

Two pieces of silver can be converted into 1,000 wen, grain is about 2 to 5 wen per catty, the most expensive salt is only 50 wen, and the ordinary cloth is about 300 wen.

Maybe in the eyes of the Lin family, these silver are not worth mentioning, but this is the fruit of Xiao Feng's hard work these days, the confidence of Lin Shuiyao to live in her mother's house temporarily, and the capital that does not have to look at other people's faces.

And that's just the beginning.

Early the next morning.

Xiao Feng went to the county seat to prepare for the errand service, Niu Meng led the ox cart with him, and on the ox cart was Lin Shuiyao, who was cleaned up.

This time, he took Niu Meng with him to escort Lin Shuiyao, and while Xiao Feng also wanted to take him to the county seat and develop his own power.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Xiao? Are you ready to be in the workforce? ”

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw the haunting Wang Lezi with four big men blocking there.

The four big men were all burly, and they were even a few points stronger than Niu Meng.

Apparently prepared.

While speaking, Wang Lezi's face could not hide the excitement, and his eyes wandered unscrupulously on Lin Shuiyao.

In Wang Lezi's opinion, Lin Shuiyao is already handy, as long as Xiao Feng is an errand officer in the government, he has a way to drag it with all kinds of trivial things, and there is only one weak woman left who can beat him?

Thinking of this, Wang Lezi became more and more proud, and the smile on his face gradually became obscene.

"Xiao Feng, you can be your cheap laborer, Lin Shuiyao can rest assured that I will take care of it!" Wang Lezi rubbed his hands excitedly.

The government's employment of errand servants is not without benefits, and during the period of service, the family will be exempted from taxes and forced labor, and there will be a certain amount of monthly payment, of course, very little.

You must know that most of the people who do errand work are idle and lazy people who cannot make a living from other crafts, although it is not absolute, but the number accounts for a large part.

I saw Xiao Feng grinning and striding towards Wang Lezi, his eyes full of fierceness.

"Wang Lezi, it seems that you have to be honest." There was a pause in his tone, and he smiled even brighter.

Wang Lezi roared loudly, "Xiao Feng, you are just a thin scholar, do you really think you are my opponent?" ”

"Cripple him, don't kill him!"

As Wang Lezi's words fell, the four big men beside him hugged him.

Xiao Feng paused, his face was not afraid at all, and he looked eager to try.

Lin Shuiyao's face turned pale with fright, and she sat aside and didn't know what to do.

Niu Meng snorted coldly, clenched his fists and stood beside Xiao Feng.

The four big men flicked in two, and attacked Xiao Feng and Niu respectively.

Xiao Feng raised his arm to block, and while his left arm was numb, his right hand wrapped the opponent's fist, and without waiting for the opponent's reaction, he dragged it vigorously, causing it to fall to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Feng slammed his fist again and smashed it towards the opponent's brain acupoint, the man wailed, and the whole person completely collapsed to the ground.

The other stopped in astonishment, hesitated, and was kicked down by him like a gourd.
