Chapter 17 The way of the world is so
Jiang Yunying looked at him in surprise.
"yes, something else." In her surprised gaze, Chen Qi smiled and nodded.
After Chen Qi's words were finished, the woman surrounded him and looked at him curiously.
"Xianggong, what are you talking about?"
"Tell us about it first."
"Cauldron~ just tell us."
"I want to know, too."
Even the fourth sister, who has always been silent and not good at words, looked at him eagerly.
Chen Qi was stared at so much that he couldn't cry or laugh, and under their gaze, he said with a smile, "Keep it secret." β
As soon as these words came out, the women lost their interest.
Xiao Qi pouted aggrievedly, "Cauldron, if you don't say it, you won't say it, you have to arouse people's interest." β
"Just you talk a lot." Chen Qi raised his hand and patted her little head.
Xiao Qi was in pain, covering his head that was patted, and became more and more aggrieved, "Cauldron, you will beat me stupid like this." β
Chen Qi bent his eyebrows, smiled into her ear, and whispered, "But, Xiao Qi, you are stupid in the first place." β
Xiao Qi was poked by his words, his angry eyes were red, and he threw himself into Jiang Yunying's arms, crying aggrievedly, "Sister Yunying, he bullied me in the cauldron, you help me teach him a lesson." β
Jiang Yunying's heart was soft.
She has never felt the relationship between brother and sister since she was a child, and it is actually not bad to be so dependent on a younger sister.
So, Jiang Yunying raised his chin and pointed at him and said, "You are not allowed to bully Xiao Qi." β
The rest of the women also followed her and said to Chen Qi.
"Got it, got it!" Chen Qile looked at them hehehe.
Everyone made a mess, adding a bit of warmth to the home.
The family had a meal talking and laughing, and a person's voice came from outside the house: "Chen Qi, are you at home?" β
"It's the villain who affects our business! Did he listen to Zhao Dabao's words again and come to trouble us? Xiao Qi put down the bowl in his hand heavily, and his face was full of injustice.
The rest of the people had a faint show of worry on their faces, and their eyes fell on Chen Qi.
Jiang Yunying stopped his movements, frowned slightly, and looked at Chen Qi, who was stunned, "What do you think?" β
It just so happened that Zhao Xiaoquan outside the door knocked on the door again.
"Ahem, meet him first." Chen Qi came back to his senses, coughed, and got up to see Zhao Xiaoquan.
"Well, that's fine."
Jiang Yunying bowed his head, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and followed him out of the door.
"Mother, you see they came out." Zhao Xiaoquan supported the elderly woman and spoke softly, not at all showing the scoundrel in front of his house before.
The old woman on crutches had a bad look in her eyes, squinted, and vaguely saw the figures of Chen Qi and Jiang Yunying, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and nodded slowly.
"Are you coming to trouble us again?!" Xiao Qi poked his head out from behind Chen Qi and stared at him viciously.
Chen Qi stretched out his hand, pressed her head, and sighed, "Xiao Qi." β
Xiao Qi pursed his mouth and didn't say a word, but his eyes were fixed on Zhao Xiaoquan.
Zhao Xiaoquan knew that he was wrong, so he didn't dare to speak, so he leaned over to his old woman.
"You bastard!"
"How do I usually teach you?!
"I let you live in harmony with others, but you don't listen! I also want to help Zhao Dabao's black-hearted old guy do evil! β
"I'll kill you!"
When the old woman heard this, she was not lightly angry, and her lips, which were still a little bloody, faded.
With great difficulty, the old woman lifted her cane and slammed it on him.
Zhao Xiaoquan didn't say a word, and let her beat and scold.
"Aunt Zhao, why are you bothering?" Chen Qi hurriedly stepped forward to stop the old woman.
The old woman's crutches fell on Zhao Xiao's body, if he didn't stop it, he was afraid that Zhao Xiaoquan would have to raise it for a few days.
Aunt Zhao looked at him, so she had to put down her crutches, took his hand and called the good boy, "Good boy, you don't care about all these things you do, thank you, auntie, but he ......"
"Heyβ"
"Iniquity!" Aunt Zhao sighed fiercely.
Only then did Zhao Xiaoquan stand up straight again and looked at Chen Qi steadily, "Chen Qi, I'm sorry." It's me who shouldn't have disturbed your family's business by listening to Zhao Dabao's words for a little profit. β
Seeing that Chen Qi didn't speak, Aunt Zhao was anxious, pointed to the chicken in Zhao Xiaoquan's hand, and said to Chen Qi: "Chen Qi, my aunt doesn't know if Xiaoquan can use these to calm down." β
"This is the chicken raised by the aunt's family, and it will be used to make amends for your sins."
Zhao Xiaoquan stood aside, holding the hand of the chicken tightened, and the chicken let out a terrible scream in his hand.
His eyes were red, and he handed it to Chen Qi reluctantly, gritted his teeth and said: "This chicken is the most valuable in my family, the money Zhao Dabao gave me has already bought medicine for my mother, if it is not enough, I will pay you back later." β
"Chen Qi, you are about to accept it, otherwise my aunt will not be happy!" Seeing that he didn't accept it, Aunt Zhao on the side was anxious.
Chen Qi looked at Aunt Zhao with a sick face, and understood why Zhao Xiaoquan listened to Zhao Dabao's words.
Everyone is forced by life.
"Aunt Zhao, I can't accept it." So Chen Qi waved his hand.
Aunt Zhao misunderstood him, and immediately knelt in front of him and begged for his forgiveness, "Chen Qi, for the sake of your aunt, forgive Xiaoquan!" β
"As a family, only our mother and daughter are left to rely on each other. If you twist him to the yamen, how will my old woman live! β
Seeing the situation, Jiang Yunying hurriedly walked to her side and helped her up.
"Daquan was forced by those beasts to build a mausoleum for the emperor, they said, as soon as the mausoleum was built, Daquan was put back, I stayed up all night every day, and finally did not wait for Daquan to return.
"I'm only eighteen! He died outside, never to return home.
"Your Uncle Zhao went to the county seat to ask for an explanation, and was beaten by the county order, if it weren't for the people from the same village, your Uncle Zhao would be gone. But the dog officer injured him too badly, and your Uncle Zhao didn't survive the winter and left.
"My eyes were also blind from crying at that time. Xiaoquan became the pillar of the family at a young age, and went to the shop in the county town to work, so that the life of our mother and mother can be regarded as hopeful.
"But, who knew that the dog official was ruthless, framed Xiao Quan, caused him to lose his life, and was beaten by the board! Therefore, Xiao Quan became ruthless and became a scoundrel, which can save our lives! Otherwise...... Otherwise......"
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhao cried bitterly again, and tears fell from her cloudy eyes, and anyone who saw it would be moved.
Jiang Yunying, who was holding Aunt Zhao, bit her lower lip tightly, she couldn't believe that the tragedy of this family stemmed from a decision made by her father.
However, she had heard from the overseers that the builders of the Imperial Tomb had come of their own free will, and that they had finally received the money and went home rejoicing.
While she was pondering, Chen Qi shook Aunt Zhao's hand with a smile.
"Aunt Zhao, I don't blame Xiaoquan at all. On the contrary, I have to thank him. β
"Thank you to him for letting me have such a regular customer as the Li family."
Aunt Zhao looked at him blankly, and Zhao Xiaoquan also looked at him in a daze, his nose was sore, and a big man was about to cry.
