When the surrounding residents heard this, they were immediately unhappy.

"Master Ma, you can't be so unreasonable."

"That is, why should you bother us with the grievances with the shopkeeper?"

"Kick us all out, there are no empty rooms in this city for a long time, where are you going to let us go?"

Master Ma looked sideways and said unceremoniously: "Let the shopkeeper return your money twice, and you go somewhere else to grab a room to live in, won't you have it?" ”

When the residents heard this, many of them turned out to oppose it, but they pondered it.

"It seems that it can also be ......"

Only a few disagreed, however, the group of fierce and vicious family members around Master Ma waved sticks to intimidate, and these ordinary people suddenly did not dare to struggle.

Master Ma shouted: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and return the money to everyone, and then close your inn!" ”

The shopkeeper knelt down with a plop, crying and saying with both hands: "Master Ma, this double refund is a catastrophe for a small shop like mine, I still have two eighty-year-old parents at home who need to eat, and my daughter also needs medicine money for treatment, if all of them are doubled, I will work in vain this year!" Please also ask Master Ma to be gracious, I will definitely close the store for one day another day to compensate, and you will let go of the small store today, right? ”

Unexpectedly, Master Ma did not give up, and even threatened the shopkeeper that if he disagreed, he would let the family smash everything in the inn.

When Shen Ningning heard this, he felt that this Master Ma was really excessive.

She was about to go out to administer justice, but she didn't expect that the shopkeeper wiped her tears and agreed.

"Good...... Okay, I'll just get the money back. ”

I saw the shopkeeper nodding, and the thin bookkeeper took out the abacus.

Residents flocked to the counter, one by one, waiting for the money to be returned.

When Master Ma saw the shopkeeper crying bitterly, he gloated and made fun of him.

"You really deserve it, don't blame me for targeting you, who made your guy ignorant and broke the rules, if you ruin my luck this year, so that the gods don't come to my house, I will let you close the store for a whole year!"

The shopkeeper was over fifty years old, and his tears were so full of tears that he couldn't say anything.

Master Ma stared at the guests and snatched all the money, before beckoning: "Go!" Let this broken shop close its doors by itself. ”

The shopkeeper staggered to his feet and told one of the remaining men in the shop to go home with the bookkeeper on his own.

The guy was a little worried: "Shopkeeper, it's all my fault, I delivered the goods in a hurry, I forgot the rules tonight, then we're leaving, what should you do?" ”

The shopkeeper was exhausted: "It's all like this, I can only go home." ”

The guy and the bookkeeper sighed and turned to leave.

The shopkeeper was about to close the shop, but saw a slender girl coming out of the backyard.

He was in a trance for a while, and he thought that he had seen the goddess descend to earth.

Looking at it again, it turned out to be the little girl from a foreign land he had taken in tonight.

"Girl, I'm sorry, the inn won't let anyone stay tonight, you should leave as soon as possible, maybe there is a place to stay in other inns."

The shopkeeper said, and then returned all the two taels of silver that Shen Ningning gave him, not only that, but he also gave two taels more.

Shen Ningning's eyes were complicated: "Shopkeeper, why are you afraid of that Master Ma?" I have never seen such an unreasonable person, you open your door to do business, you don't owe him, what do you say to him? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "You are a foreigner, I don't know this Lord Ma, his uncle-in-law is the garrison of our Pingcheng, all along, he has been so proud, if you provoke him, my inn will really be over." ”

Shen Ningning frowned.

What about garrisons? In the capital, he is just an official the size of a sesame seed.

Shen Ningning saw that the shopkeeper was packing up his things, and it seemed that he really wanted to go home.

She couldn't help asking, "Shopkeeper, can I go to your house to live?" You will still be paid for your accommodation. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned: "Huh? However, my family is simple, and I am afraid that I will wronged the girl to live in the ear room. ”

"It's okay, it's so late, I'll go somewhere else to find a place to live, I'm afraid it's too late." Anyway, she stayed for one night, and she had to hurry the next morning.

The shopkeeper nodded suddenly: "Okay, okay, it's okay, you don't have to give me silver." ”

Shen Ningning helped him pack his things together.

She saw that there were many old objects on the cabinet behind the account room, although they were not very valuable, but they looked old.

The shopkeeper was very talkative, and saw Shen Ningning observing the old antiques on the shelves.

He smiled and said: "This inn was given to me by my father, and it was like this when it was handed over to me, so as soon as Master Ma said that he was going to smash the inn, I was afraid, this is my father's life's work, how can it be destroyed in my hands?" If you lose some money, you can lose a little, life is still long, and you can earn it back. ”

Shen Ningning was infected by his optimistic attitude and couldn't help laughing.

"The shopkeeper is right."

They went outside and closed the door to the shop.

When I turned my head, I saw that there was another family of four, dressed simply, huddled under the eaves of the inn.

The shopkeeper was surprised: "Why haven't you left yet?" The inn won't be able to take you in tonight. ”

"Shopkeeper, we have nowhere to go."

Shen Ningning saw that the shopkeeper looked embarrassed, judging from the clothes of this family of four, it should be a homeless poor person who has been taken care of by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper sighed: "In this way, this little girl will also go to my house to stay overnight, and I still have a firewood house at home to live in for a while, so you can go back with us." ”

The family of four was suddenly overjoyed, and the woman pulled her two young children: "Quick, thank you shopkeeper grandpa, kowtow to the benefactor." ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again: "I can't do it, I can't do it, it's just a matter of raising my hands." ”

Shen Ningning looked at it secretly, and felt that the shopkeeper was really a good and enthusiastic person.

As soon as they locked the inn, Master Ma returned with a group of family members.

Seeing that the inn was really closed, Master Ma sat on the back of the horse and laughed.

"You don't have long eyes, offended me, and still want to open a store? Hum. ”

The thief-eyed family beside him said flatteringly: "Look, my lord, this poor shopkeeper has to take a few guests back to his house to live, who doesn't know the tradition of the Festival of Welcoming the Gods?" If there is someone in the house, God will not enter the door! Slaves, they are poor to the end! ”

Master Ma ridiculed and ridiculed: "The two fathers and mothers in his family are paralyzed in bed, and his daughter is a medicine jar. ”

A group of people laughed.

Shen Ningning twisted her eyebrows, and was about to go up to theorize, but was secretly pulled by the shopkeeper by her sleeve.

The girl looked back and saw the shopkeeper shaking her head lightly at her, and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”

This little girl is beautiful, and Master Ma is a bastard, so don't let him have any bad thoughts.

Shen Ningning put up with this breath for the time being, and followed behind the shopkeeper, the family of four also lowered their heads, and a group of people walked away quickly.

Behind him, there was an even more arrogant and wanton ridicule from Master Ma and others.

"Useless thing, a bunch of rat-like guys!"

Shen Ningning looked back, and by the moonlight, she remembered this person's appearance fiercely.
