Rouge wrong

Maoshanqian Village usually only has ox carts and donkey carts, and only after Shen Cuo came did there be horse carts.

A man dressed in black got out of the carriage, with a big hat on his head, making his face hard to see.He is extremely tall, with obvious muscles, he looks like a trainer.

The man respectfully took out a few letters, Shen took it with the wrong hand, and handed it out with the other hand, which was also a letter.

There was no communication between the two, and the man left soon.Shen Cuo walked towards the backyard while opening the letter, his expression looked a little dignified.

The superintendent Shenjun lay lazily outside the door basking in the sun, licking his paws from time to time.

Erya was curious but didn't dare to ask more questions, and went about her own business quietly.

The three coins were all converted into miscellaneous grains, and the amount was quite large, so it would definitely not be possible to move them back once.

Erya plans to decorate her home with a small cloth bag every day, so as to avoid being ruined by her father and stepmother.

I worked in a grocery store for a month, and because I ate a good lunch, Erya's complexion looked a lot better, and there was some flesh in her originally thin body.

It's just that after entering October, the weather is getting colder and colder, and she is still wearing very thin clothes.

The family was so poor that they couldn't get rid of the pot, so the siblings naturally had no money to make new clothes.Erya’s mother and elder sister’s original leftover clothes were either mortgaged by her father or taken over by her stepmother. She could only dig out some old clothes and rush for a few nights, barely making a thick dress for her younger brother Huzi.

She didn't dare to give the short coat that Shen mistakenly gave her to her younger brother, so she only wore it for him to keep warm at night, and she still wore it by herself during the day.

But even so, it couldn't resist the increasingly cold weather.

Today, Second Aunt Li came quite early and saw Erya tidying up things in the store by herself.

Looking around, he approached her and asked in a low voice, "Erya, did the shopkeeper settle your wages today?"

"Um……"

Erya told Second Aunt Li how she settled her wages, and Second Aunt Li nodded in satisfaction.

"I know, shopkeeper Shen is kind."

Erya's little face that had been numb due to sorrow in the past has become more and more vivid recently, and she nodded vigorously in agreement when she heard this.

"And...Second Aunt, these are for you."

Erya took out the hanging copper coins from the cloth bag and stuffed them to Second Aunt Li. Seeing this, Second Aunt Li quickly declined and said, "Oh, what are you doing? Quickly take it back and take it back."

Er Ya looked thin and weak, but she was strong, and her movements were very firm.

"Second Aunt, you can just accept it. I've heard from Huzi that what he ate in your house for a month was like a stone, and it cost you a lot of food."

"Oh, how big are tiger cubs? What kind of food can I spend?"

The tiger is not big, but what she eats are all the good things that Second Aunt Li brought back from shopkeeper Shen's house. Erya knows in her heart that Second Aunt Li doesn't mind, but Sister Yang has a lump in her heart.

"You can't say that, Second Aunt, anyway, the money will be taken by my father when I take it home, so you can take it."

Second Aunt Li is right.

If the money was taken by that bastard Wang Tiezhu, it would only be used as gambling money. It can be saved with her, and it can be given to Erya at that time.

"Then... well, Second Aunt will save it for you first, and if you need it, you can ask Second Aunt for it."

Er Ya smiled sweetly but did not agree.

Although she is used to being poor, she also understands a lot of truths under the guidance of her sister. She knows that if she wants to repay her kindness, she will never get the money back no matter what.

Second Aunt Li touched her head distressedly, and sighed inwardly.

"Good boy..."

As the end of the year approached, the sky was getting darker and earlier. Anyway, there was no business, and Shen Cuo usually let Erya go home before the sky completely darkened.

With three hundred copper coins in her pocket and a bag of cornmeal on her back, Er Ya went to Li's house to pick up her younger brother, and the two went home together.

But before they got home, the two heard arguing from the yard.

Huzi was so frightened that he immediately hid behind Erya, but Erya's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Her father often stays away for ten days and half a month, and when he comes back, he will definitely quarrel with his stepmother, and the whole family will have no peace.

When the elder sister was around, she would shut her and her younger brother in the woodshed to avoid being affected.

Erya turned around and wanted to take her younger brother to escape the disaster first, but Wang Tiezhu had already seen the two of them through the fence, pushed Liu away, quickly jumped over the gap in the fence, and grabbed Erya by the collar.

"Dad, daddy..."

Erya's body trembled—in the past six months after the eldest sister left, she became a pouting bag for her father and stepmother. This month, because she went to work at the entrance of the village every day, she didn't meet them very often, but her body still remembered the feeling of pain. .

Wang Tiezhu looked slumped, but he was very tough towards his daughter. He grabbed her by the collar and sneered, "Ah, why do you want to leave when you see your father? It seems that shopkeeper Shen has already paid you wages, why don't you hurry up?" Hand it over?"

Er Ya didn't dare to resist, trembling, she took out a cloth bag from her arms, and because of the shaking, the cloth bag fell to the ground.

When Wang Tiezhu heard the sound of copper coins, he couldn't control Erya immediately, threw her aside, and hurried to pick up the cloth bag.

At this time, the stepmother Liu also followed, and when she saw the bag of copper coins, she rushed forward to snatch it from Wang Tiezhu.

"What are you crazy bitch trying to do?"

Although Wang Tiezhu is a man, but he is addicted to drinking, sex and gambling, and he often eats too much, so his health has long since broken down.

He was naturally easy to deal with Er Ya, but he could only compete with Liu Shi.

The two held onto a cloth bag, and Liu said not to be outdone, "What do I want to do? You bastard is away from home every day, and Erya and Huzi are taken by me. She can earn money now. The money Of course you have to leave it to me for safekeeping!"

"Fart, when did you take care of the child, you stinky bitch? Erya is my own daughter, so of course her money should honor me as a father."

The two of them were chattering and quarreling, and Hu Zi was so frightened that he burst into tears, but the two of them turned a deaf ear to it.

At that time, Erya couldn't manage the cloth bag containing coarse grains, and wanted to leave while protecting her younger brother, but there was a clattering sound, and three strings of copper coins were scattered on the ground after being snatched.

The two of them didn't care about the dirty ground, they fell to the ground and pulled the copper coins into their arms at the same time. In the end, Wang Tiezhu took advantage of the hands and feet and snatched two strings, while Liu only grabbed one string.

Wang Tiezhu sensed something was wrong just by shaking his hands. Seeing that Erya and Huzi seemed to want to go back to the woodshed, he stepped forward and pulled Erya by the back collar and knocked her to the ground.

"Why is there only three hundred? What about the agreed monthly payment of two? Say, did you hide the rest of the money?"

Er Ya was dizzy from the fall, her back hurt, and she was afraid that her father would hurt her younger brother, so she endured the pain and quickly got up to stand in front of Hu Zi, shaking her head and saying, "No, no, dad, Shopkeeper Shen said I'm too young to be of much help." Busy, the monthly payment has to be halved, and the business in the store is not good recently, so the two hundred has to be converted into grain and given to me in batches."

Erya had always behaved obediently and dullly, not as shrewd and capable as the eldest daughter, this explanation sounded reasonable, Wang Tiezhu didn't doubt that he was there, but he was still furious.

"Useless things, we signed a contract back then, why didn't you ask the female shopkeeper for it?"

Erya lowered her head, her body trembling.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper said, the deed made it clear, if you have any doubts, you can go to her to confront her in person."

Wang Tiezhu thought of that female Rakshasa, where would he really dare to look for it?He could only vent his anger on his daughter, raised his hand and slapped Erya, and then kicked her to the side.

"Sister, sister!"

Erya almost fainted from the pain, curled up into a ball hugging her stomach.Huzi jumped to his sister's side and cried like a little teardrop.

Although Wang Tiezhu was fierce, he still had some affection for his only seedling. He didn't do anything, but glanced at him numbly.

Mrs. Liu snatched a hundred copper coins and disappeared long ago.Wang Tiezhu spat, cursed bad luck, and left with the money in his arms.

"Woooooo, sister, sister, are you okay?"

Erya struggled to sit up, but her stomach hurt, she was sweating, her eyes were dark, and her consciousness drifted further and further away.

"Hu, Huzi...go, go find Shopkeeper Shen."

"Sister? Sister?"

Huzi lost his voice after hearing his sister's last words. He didn't know what to do. After crying for a while, he remembered what his sister said, and slowly got up from the ground with his fists clenched.

Although he was a bit cowardly due to family reasons, he was not stupid. Knowing that his sister's words meant to ask for help from shopkeeper Shen, he ran towards the entrance of the village as fast as he could with his short legs.

Not long after Shen Cuo finished his dinner, he was boiling hot water to take a bath when he suddenly heard a childish voice outside the yard calling "Shopkeeper Shen".

Although the voice was soft, Shen Cuo had excellent hearing ability and didn't miss it.

She doesn't go out at all on weekdays, one is that there are no markets to visit in this poor village, and the other is that she doesn't want to meet those village women and reckless men.

So she didn't know anyone except Erya and Aunt Li, but she didn't know who would come looking for her at this time.

The voice sounded very young, anxious, and crying.Shen Cuo was a little impatient, so he could only open the door to the backyard.

"who is it?"

When she opened the door, she saw a little Douding standing outside the door, her little face was crying like a tabby cat, and she looked familiar.

Huzi quickly threw himself at Shen Cuo's feet, sobbing and sobbing: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L L LL

When Shen Cuo was about to ask "Who is your sister and why should I save your sister", he suddenly remembered the identity of this little Douding in front of him.

This... seems to be Erya's younger brother?

She grabbed Huzi by the back collar, and said with a serious expression, "What's wrong with your sister?"

"My sister, my sister was beaten to death by my father."

Shen Cuo's heart sank, and he threw Huzi away and wanted to go out, but suddenly remembered that he didn't know where Erya's house was, so he hurriedly urged Huzi to lead the way.

Huzi has short hands and short legs, and he ran away just now, and he has already lost his strength.Shen Cuo made a "tsk", and didn't care about whether it was dirty at this time, so he had to grab the clothes around his waist and hold them in his hands.

"Lead me the way!"
