Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Root of the Curse

A happy event has happened in the Qin family recently - the two children of Master Qin's "study" in Shanghai have been on vacation, so they naturally want to celebrate.

Master Qin only has three children in total, two young masters and one young lady, which is really small compared to the Qin family's financial resources and power.

Thanks to the small number of children, Master Qin is very precious to all of his children.

As for why Master Qin only has three children, it's not that he doesn't do anything, but that Master Qin doesn't marry his aunt now.

Since the establishment of the Republic of China and the promulgation of the marriage decree, Mrs. Qin took the opportunity to ask Master Qin to divorce several "aunts" and drive them out of the house, and Master Qin could only do so.

If the Qin family really has a few aunts, Lao Bao may have to be a man in the cracks all these years, how can it be so easy as now?

From a distance, Bao Guowei saw colorful lanterns hanging everywhere on the wall of the Qin family, which seemed to be lit with candles.

There are many subordinates watching and patrolling from the side, after all, the mansion of the Qin Mansion is mainly made of wood, and if it catches fire, the mansion will be destroyed for decades.

Aunt Wang is washing clothes in the courtyard at the moment, the weather is not bad today, some sunshine, and warm, the water in the basin is no longer cold after a while in the sun.

So this time I washed my clothes, and my hands didn't have to freeze as if they had been cut by a knife.

Of course, you can also light firewood to heat up the water before washing clothes, but that costs money, and Aunt Wang would rather freeze her hands than spend some firewood money.

Although she was washing her clothes, she was a little envious and a little sour in her heart now - Lao Bao had a good son, and he directly became a big housekeeper, and his salary had risen, and I heard that Master Qin invited his son to a banquet today, and this time even the senior section chief came.

And his son is the same thing as two black sticks, except for growing faster and stronger, he has no other skills, and he is still working at home.

Originally, these two children were fine, at least they could go to the dock to carry things for people, and they could earn their own chewing grain for a month.

A few days ago, he said that Zhang Siwu didn't take them to the dock to move things, and they couldn't rob others, so they stayed at home to help his father do carpenter work.

In fact, these two children can be carpenters, and they can earn less, which is more or less a way out.

After all, Aunt Wang will also feel distressed when she sees her son's black arm strangled with white marks or bruises.

But then there is no noise about learning martial arts, what is the use of learning Nalaoshzi martial arts? How many of them have become famous in the end?

Half a child, eat poor Lao Tzu, Aunt Wang feels that this is true at all, not only eat poor Lao Tzu, but also eat poor Lao Tzu, and the carpenter's father in the family can also eat it.

At the end of the day, the family can't get dozens of coppers, less than two cents, but a family of four can eat two catties of rice bran in one meal, as well as firewood, rice, oil and salt, winter clothes, shoes and other expenses, which are always stretched.

"Alas, these young masters and old men, they don't work all day long, and they are not easy to get hungry, so they eat less, we work more, and we have to worry about food, what is the reason?"

If Aunt Wang thinks about this kind of words, she naturally won't put it on her throat.

For the requirements of her two children, Aunt Wang can't meet them at all - it's already extremely difficult to feed the two children, and if you send them to learn martial arts, you will have to eat more, and you have to pay tuition, isn't it even more difficult?

But why hasn't the old bag come yet? It's noon now, and the feast will begin.

Thinking like this in her heart, Aunt Wang heard the sound of shaking the doorbell at the door, quickly put down the work in her hand, and trotted all the way over.

She doesn't bind her feet, so she can run fast, and only some people from some families are qualified to do it.

If the poor family has to bind their feet, there will be one less laborer in the family, and there will be more mouths for dry food, I am afraid that they will not even be able to support their children, what kind of feet will they bind?

Someone has to do the work of the next person.

Moreover, people with bound feet even struggle to escape, and Aunt Wang can often see an old woman who is dozens of years old, and she runs hundreds of miles with her awl feet to escape the famine.

However, he was old and decrepit, had no appearance, and could not find a job to do, and finally collapsed in the alleys of the city to die.

Every time she saw this situation, Aunt Wang was a little glad that she had not wrapped her feet.

"The big butler is here."

The door was opened, making a squeaky sound, as soon as the door was opened, I saw the face of the old bag, Aunt Wang still had the heart to make some jokes, she and Bao Zheng are familiar, and the relationship has always been good.

But when he turned his head and saw Bao Guowei behind him, he was secretly a little surprised in his heart - this hairstyle and this gold-wire glasses didn't seem to be comparable to the young master Qin who had just returned from Shanghai.

Bao Guowei was looking around at the moment - he didn't understand why the Qin Mansion hung lanterns in broad daylight and put candles inside, this was not a festival.

And Aunt Wang can sense that Bao Guowei's complexion has become whiter than before, and she can also reveal some ruddyness.

He wore a pure black sleeveless vest on the outside, revealing two clean white sleeves, a pair of black trousers on his legs, and a smooth and bright black leather shoe on his feet.

Looking at this set of clothes, coupled with oily head and glasses, it is undoubtedly the temperament of a noble son of a Western-style school.

Sure enough, this is different when she goes to the foreign school, and Aunt Wang feels a little sour.

The eldest son of his own family, Wang Xiaowu, is not only rugged, like a black briquette, no matter his words and deeds, his appearance, he can't compare with the old Bao family at all.

"Guowei is also here, come in quickly, the two children of the Qin family are here, and the senior section chief is still waiting inside."

"Who? Section Chief Gao, do I know each other? ”

Hearing Aunt Wang's words, Bao Guowei was a little confused, listening to this position, could it be an official? The old bag seems to have been mentioned.

Bao Guowei looked at Lao Bao, meaning who this person was.

"This senior section chief is a section chief of the Suzhou Internal Affairs Bureau, and he can sign documents, such as where to build a house and how much tax to pay, all of which are done by people from the Internal Affairs Department."

When it comes to the senior section chief, Lao Bao seems to be respectful, but Bao Guowei knows that the section chief is not too big an official, but it is not small.

Bao Guowei's mind is still a little quick, and he probably guessed the cause and effect in his mind after taking a few steps:

Master Qin knew that he had a relationship with the Chu family, so he told Section Chief Gao, and after Section Chief Gao knew, maybe there was something he wanted to ask for help?

It seems that the last borrowing was still a bane, if he didn't take out allicin, Bao Guowei would probably be targeted by Chu Ze because of the indiscriminate borrowing.

Chu Ze looked amiable, but Bao Guowei never believed that he was really a kind-hearted person.

But this time it wasn't Aunt Sun who opened the door? Bao Guowei took a look, but didn't find her, it seemed that she was fired by Master Qin.

"Aunt Wang, where is Aunt Sun?"

"It's gone."
