Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

After a while, Zhou Hong finally recovered from the severe pain.

Zhou Hong struggled to kneel in front of Cheng Wan, with his face swollen into a pig's head, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Girl, please spare my life, spare your life..."

Cheng Wan sneered, "You are quite capable of bending and stretching."

With his life in the opponent's hands, Zhou Hong did not dare to refute. He only endured the pain in his body and looked up at Cheng Wan pleadingly.

"Don't worry, I don't want your life."

Zhou Hong raised his voice and felt slightly relieved.

"However, I want your men to do me a favor."

Zhou Hong's heart was in his throat again, and he stammered and asked carefully: "What...what are you busy with?"

The next morning, Gaojia Village.

In front of two small thatched houses, Lu Zhiping was weaving baskets while watching Lu Chunlai chop wood.

A delicate-looking woman with skinny, yellowish skin walked out of the house carrying a steaming bowl.

"Master, please drink a bowl of hot water and warm yourself up.

Here, I pinched some brown sugar for you and put it in. It was so sweet that I didn’t even want to give it to the children. "

Lu Zhiping smiled and took the bowl handed over by the woman, "You drink too, and let Dani, Li Gen and Li Cai drink too. I will buy some after they finish."

The woman glanced at Lu Zhiping angrily, "What are you buying? This little brown sugar costs a lot of copper coins. The family only has a little money in total, and the cold days are still here."

"It's okay. Yanqiu's money from selling her body hasn't been used much yet. Since you're following me, I won't let you and the three children suffer."

Not far away, Lu Chunlai was chopping wood in tattered, dirty clothes and shoes with open toes.

Lu Chunlai already had frostbite on his face, hands and feet, and his skinny little face looked mature beyond his age.

Because he was too thin, he looked very big in his eyes, which were dark and without a trace of light.

Only when he heard the name Yanqiu, Lu Chunlai's eyes changed.

After hearing what Lu Zhiping said, Lu Chunlai's eyes were full of bone-crushing hatred.

The next moment, Lu Chunlai lowered his eyes and continued to wave the small ax in his hand, secretly saying in his heart: "Sister, just wait for me. When I find a chance to kill them, I will go find you."

"Alas! The head of the family has not spoken every day this spring. Do you think he still blames me in his heart and stopped you from calling a doctor for him?

But do you think whose child has never been beaten by his parents?

Our family only has a little money, and we don’t know how we are going to get through this winter.

Ask a doctor to get some more medicine, this..."

The woman touched her eyes with her sleeves and said aggrievedly: "I am also thinking about this family. Besides, isn't it okay when spring comes?

I also asked Li Gen and Li Cai to watch him do some work, thinking that if he does more work in spring, his body will become stronger. "

Lu Zhiping felt heartbroken when he saw the woman crying in grievance.

“It’s because he’s ignorant, no matter how young he is, he still dares to steal money while I’m not paying attention.

This little white-eyed wolf is just like his dead mother, every day he looks like he owes them!

Don't argue with him, just treat him as a non-person. "

The woman burst into laughter and lightly hit Lu Zhiping on the shoulder.

"Don't say that to your child, or he will not be filial to you in the future."

"He dares!

I am his father, and if he dares to be disobedient to me, I will go to the Yamen to sue him!

Besides, isn’t this about establishing roots and talents? If I treat them as my own sons, how can they ignore me in the future? "

The woman smiled and wanted to say something else. At this moment, a man wearing a fine cotton coat and carrying a bag suddenly appeared in the sight of Lu Zhiping and the woman.

"Brother, I was going to visit relatives and passed by your village. I was so thirsty.

I see that you two are very kind-hearted. I wonder if you can give me some hot water to drink? "

Lu Zhiping stood up and greeted him with a smile, "It's just a mouthful of hot water. My dear, go and pour a bowl of hot water for this brother."

The woman responded with a smile.

The smile on her face made her look even more kind-hearted.

Lu Zhiping stopped two steps away from the man, "I wonder which village my brother is going to visit relatives?"

The man looked at Lu Zhiping's smiling face and smiled too.

He took a step forward, closed the distance between him and Lu Zhiping, stretched out a hand, and held a jade pendant in his hand.

"Does it look good?"

Lu Zhiping looked straight at the jade pendant swinging slightly in the air, "It's... beautiful."

The next moment, the man's hand loosened and the jade pendant fell to the ground, breaking into two pieces.

Lu Zhiping stared blankly at the broken jade pendant on the ground, not understanding what just happened.

"Brother, you"

Lu Zhiping felt in a daze that he seemed to see a smile full of malice towards him.

Then, Lu Zhiping watched helplessly as the man in front of him changed his expression quickly, his face and eyes full of anger.

"Didn't I just come to your house to ask for hot water? You still want money for a hot water!

If you don’t give it, you will steal my family heirloom!

Well now my heirloom is shattered!

This family heirloom is worth a thousand taels of silver!

You pay me money!

Otherwise I will go to the Yamen to sue you! "

The man's voice was loud, almost at the top of his lungs.

Lu Zhiping was sprayed with the man's saliva.

His expression was dull, and he didn't realize what was happening.

The woman who had just entered the house heard the noise and hurriedly came out with a bowl of hot water.

"What's going on here?

Brother, I'll pour the hot water you want. "

The man took the hot water from the woman's hand, raised his hand, and poured the still hot water directly onto Lu Zhiping's face.

Then the man threw the bowl and said bitterly: "Pay for it!"

Lu Zhiping turned sideways, his face a little red from the hot water.

He sucked in the cold air and wanted to cover his face but didn't dare to touch it with his hands.

After looking at Lu Zhiping's face anxiously, the woman looked at the man angrily, "What are you doing? We kindly gave you hot water to drink, so forget it because you are ungrateful. You are bullying people like this!"

Is there any justice in this world? ! "

The woman's voice is louder than the man's.

"What?!

Your man wanted to steal my family heirloom, which caused my family heirloom to be broken!

Look down and see for yourself!

Lao Tzu, I can tell you, this family heirloom of mine is worth a thousand taels!

Either you pay, or I go to Mr. Qingtian to sue you! "

The woman looked at the undisguised anger on the man's face, then lowered her head and saw the jade pendant broken into two halves on the ground not far away, feeling panicked in her heart.

"You fart!"

Lu Zhiping blushed and glared at the man, veins forming on his head from anger.

"You obviously dropped this jade pendant yourself, I didn't touch your jade pendant at all!

You are the ultimate rogue!

Report to the official, report to the official, I am not afraid of you! "

The man sneered, "Okay, okay, I wanted to give you a way to survive, but you are seeking death on your own.

Let me tell you, the county magistrate is my boss’s brother-in-law!

I'm going to go find my boss and make the decision for me! "

The man pointed his finger at the frightened Lu Zhiping and said bitterly: "You threw my jade pendant and then rake it up!"

"You and his family are not good people either!"

The man put down the finger pointing at the woman, bent down and picked up the jade pendant that was broken into two halves on the ground.

"Just wait for me!"
