"Master, don't worry." Gu Cijiu comforted Uncle Liu, but he didn't say what was going on.

"That's good." Uncle Liu looked at the two of them. After getting along for more than two years, he naturally knew that these two children had a lot of ideas.

Gossip aside, two days later, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo went to Uncle Sun's village in the countryside, but no one took them with them, and the five children from the women's and children's hospital stayed at home.

Sure enough, they walked forward, and the children from the nursery were found behind them. This time, there was a large group, at least 30 people came. A group of children walked all the way crying, attracting many spectators.

When they arrived at the door of Lao Liu's house, they opened their throats and were about to cry when the door inside suddenly opened, and two buckets of muddy water were poured out.The first few children couldn't dodge in time, and they all splashed their heads and faces, and the rest of the children also shut their mouths in fright.

"Bah!" Two girls in coarse cloth basket shirts came out of the door, one with a round face and the other with an oval face, each holding a big broom, the round face spit out a mouthful of saliva as soon as he went out, and the boy at the head was wiping the dirt on his face with his hands. Water, I didn't see it at all, so the water on this face has not been wiped off, and there is another mouthful of saliva.

"Soybean! Are you so fucking crazy?! Why are you so crazy!" The spittled boy opened his mouth and cursed, the children in the nursery had no father or mother, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo made it for them Before starting to make a living, some of these children often hooked up with street gangsters, most of whom spoke freely.Later, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo disciplined them much better, but it seems that only two months later, some people reverted to their old ways.

"You're the fucking shit! It's still a day when your heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys have risen from your throat! You are a heartless heart!" Huang Dou scolded back.

The women of the official families of the Wei Dynasty liked polo and Cuju, and there were even female generals at the top. Women could also inherit the family business, and the status of women was not low.There are many things that poor people abandon girls, but if they grow up to be girls, as long as they are not weak, they can straighten their backs.So when Huang Dou yelled at him, most of the people in the surrounding area laughed and pointed at the boy instead.

The boy wanted to say more, but another white-faced boy next to him stopped him.This white-faced boy was the one who quarreled with another boy two months ago and questioned him, "The two elder brothers are not your parents, and I have to control you for the rest of your life." His name is Hu Qi. Six are abandoned on the front and rear feet.

Later, after Niu Er and Hu Liu went to seek employment by themselves and let other people know, Hu Qi also came to beg, but he was obviously doing it for face play, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo couldn't keep him.

Hu Qi is also very good-looking, he is obviously an abandoned child, but he looks like a young son from a good family. Many people speculate that he is the daughter-in-law of a rich family, or that his wife stole his life from others.At this moment, he laughed, with a dimple on his face: "Sister Huangdou and Dahua, are the two brothers here?"

His voice is also nice, it should be a boy who just changed his voice, soft.

Huang Dou pointed it out, and the melon-faced Zhao Dahua gave her a tug: "It's just a coincidence that the two literary boys are going to catch up with the August provincial examination, and went to Zhuangzi in the countryside to study hard behind closed doors."

Zhao Dahua's skin is fair, but the freckles on her face are all connected into patches, but her eyes are as round as cat's eyes, and her voice is even sweeter. Now that the sun is shining, people who listen to it feel comfortable and comfortable.

"Then I don't know which Zhuangzi the two elder brothers went to?"

Zhao Dahua covered her mouth and laughed: "I said Brother Huliu, and I said that the two Wentong boys are going to study hard behind closed doors. What are you doing after you chase after the door? Do you want them to take care of the food and drink of many of you?"

"My sister doesn't know, the two elder brothers left as soon as they said they would leave, and now we..."

"Stop!" Huang Dou yelled suddenly, "The two Wentong didn't just leave at the beginning, they didn't take any money, and at that time, the nursery school bought a donkey and had accumulated savings, so they left! Besides, it's been two months. If you have something to do, why didn't you come here at that time, you have to come now?! It's not that you guys are lazy and greedy, and you can't manage your business well, and it seems to be going badly. They came to your door again! What?! Our Wen Tong ate a piece of your tofu for nothing, and took a penny of your copper coins for nothing?!"

The people onlookers whispered to each other at this time, they were all locals, they naturally knew something about the children in the nursery school, and they bought tofu from those children more or less.At this time, when discussing, you can also say something about it.In particular, there are many people who are neighbors of Uncle Liu's family, and they understand it better than others.When Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo went to the nursery, some people privately advised Uncle Liu to drive them away. These are not two good people, but also two white-eyed wolves.

Nowadays, some people even think to themselves that what they said was right at the beginning, so what about Wen Tong? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

At this time, a woman shouted: "This is really Sheng Mien fighting Mi Qiu! What's wrong with being shameless and entangled with others?!"

"I have ruined my business, who is to blame?!"

More and more people were clamoring, and they all talked about their experience of buying tofu and dried tofu a few days ago. The burden was thrown aside, and it was good for people to disappear. Many people ate between hair and gravel. There are foreign bodies like this, and many people say that they smell urine from the tofu.

Originally, ordinary people bought tofu to eat for themselves, and it was considered a good deed.The children in the nursing home sell tofu, and they can also meet more people in the streets and alleys. By the way, they have accumulated some reputation for themselves. When they leave the nursing home, it is better to find a job.

As a result, the current troubles are like this, didn't they find it all by themselves.

Some children were thin-skinned and were told that they couldn't stay any longer, so they covered their faces and left.

But Hu Qi gritted his teeth, knelt down with a plop, and raised his voice: "You two sisters! I will leave the nursery in a few months at my age! It has nothing to do with me whether the two Wentong gang help you or not. Big! But there are still many young children in the nursery! If Wen Tong doesn’t care about this, the remaining children really don’t know how to live.”

He had a nice voice, and tears flowed when he talked about the emotional part. Many children also knelt down and wept with him, which really softened the hearts of some spectators.Some people even said that this kid is a good boy, he is loyal, but he probably doesn't know how to handle things.

Zhao Dahua chuckled: "Hu Qi, you've become a good person now, elders and elders here, let's make it clear. Did the two Wentong really let go because they had to pass the provincial examination? No! Not at all. It was these begging people who drove them away! It was this person and another Zou Erlang who encouraged other children in the nursing home to not only hide the money from selling goods, but also secretly found another place to store food. He also told Wen Tong that we were plagued by rats and that we didn't have enough soybeans, so we asked Wen Tong for money and food!"

"You nonsense!" "How did we do that?!"

Seeing that the wind direction of the onlookers was about to change again, Hu Qi didn't speak this time, but the rest of the crying teenagers started shouting.There are many people and few people, Dongfeng is about to push back, but suddenly someone raised his voice: "Nonsense is not nonsense, you don't recognize it, we will recognize it!"

Another six or seven young people squeezed out from the back of the crowd, the leader was a black-faced boy, although people who work outside these days are all black, but there are few black people like him, he has a pair of hyacinth eyes , but it has three white eyes, the eyes are small, and there are many whites, and the whites of the eyes make the dark skin more conspicuous, and they are even a little evil.

The boy came out and bowed in circles: "My fathers and uncles, this boy is Zou Erlang. He has done some bad things. But we did something wrong, but we have to face it! I have already invited myself to admit my mistakes, How could you bring all these people to the door of your benefactor? What? Hu Qi, are you asking your benefactor for help, or are you here to ruin your benefactor's reputation?"

Hu Qi stood up from the ground: "Zou Erlang, you were the one who always criticized the two benefactors in the past, but why are you here now?"

"Hu Qi, do you still think I'm here to fight with you? I don't have the skills! I brought the messenger to arrest you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards holding iron rulers really squeezed out behind him.The guard came up and headed towards Hu Qi, Hu Qi was startled, and looked a little panicked, and the rest of the people who came with Hu Qi were even more pale and bewildered.

Zou Erlang took this opportunity and shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Fathers and elders, you don't know that after the two benefactors left, it was the boy who was responsible for making a living with this Hu Qi. It was originally agreed that the boy took people to sell it. He Lead people to do it, get money, and divide the account four or six times, the kid’s people are four, his people are six! Who knows that they not only put some messy things into the tofu, but also privately tell the people who the boy leads that it’s hard to buy tofu, but it’s not as good as There is a lot of money for making tofu, and he also said that the boy must be full of private pockets, and that everyone sells tofu together, and if you sell a piece of tofu, you must get money from others. The money just disappeared, and I don't know whose mouth it went into!"

"Several officers, he is talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, see you at the Yamen! All uncles and elders, please be a witness!"

Since ancient times, not only Chinese people, but people themselves like to watch the excitement.Especially at this time, Dawei's folk customs are still very tough and wild. Seeing this kind of excitement, everyone present shouted to watch.Many of the children who came with Hu Qi wanted to run away, and they were also caught by these common people.

This large group of people made a lot of noise along the way, attracting more people to follow and watch.

Naturally, this matter cannot be reported to the eunuch, but to the local Si'an county government. The county magistrate did not even need to go out, but the county magistrate heard that there was too much commotion and there were too many people, so he was afraid of accidents. Just came out to ask questions in person.

Zou Erlang was obviously well prepared, not only the teenagers and children from the nursing home, but also a man named Sun Cai was in the testimony.Sun Cai’s family is also in the tofu business. According to him, his grandfather gave him money and asked him to bribe Hu Qi to do mischief. His granddaughter married him and let him work in his own tofu shop.

The guards also found the marriage letter from Hu Qi on the spot!This Huqi is also smart and knows that what he says is unsubstantiated, so the marriage letter between him and Sun Sanniang has already been written.There is also the money found under his bed. These were not obtained by him from the tofu shop in the nursing home, or given by the Sun family!

Although there is no owner in this nursing home, it is their own business, so Hu Qi can be regarded as harming himself, but morality and law are actually not separated these days. In order to protect the law, Hu Qi was beaten [-] boards, put on wooden shackles, and chained outside the county government gate for public display for a day.

Those who came to see the excitement today, all deliberately waited for Hu Qi to be kicked and spanked, and when he was locked at the door, they spit on him one by one.Later, when the news spread, some people came here just to spit on him and scolded him, "A person with no morals and no righteousness!"

Hu Qi's health was not very good, and he was about to die after being shackled for half a day.When it was almost dusk, most of the people in front of the yamen gate finally dispersed, but now that there were no people, Hu Qi found that he was even more tired-he was standing in the shackles to show the public, he couldn't sit down, he could only stand, with two legs It was stiff and painful, there were other people there just now, although those people insulted him, they could divert his attention, but now he can only focus on the fatigue and pain.

Naturally, there is still hunger and thirst, but he dare not even lick his lips, because his face is covered with saliva that other people have wiped off.He closed his eyes and put all his strength on one to relax his right leg. Suddenly, a soft and fragrant touch came from his face. When he opened his eyes, it turned out that a girl was cleaning his face with a veil.

After cleaning the face for Hu Qijing, the girl squatted down. It turned out that she was still carrying a basket, and now she took warm water from it, and fed it to him little by little.

This is not the girl in the nursery, Hu Qi doesn't know him, but when he drank water and was fed by the girl, a small possibility flashed in Hu Qi's mind: "... San Niang?"

"Ah."

It turned out that this girl was the wife in Hu Qi's marriage letter. Now he has betrayed all relatives, and the "brothers and sisters" who had benefited from him all hid far away, but this girl who had never seen each other came to take care of him.

"I will destroy the marriage certificate."

Sun Sanniang glared at Hu Qi: "You think I'm here to take care of you to make you regret your marriage?! Then, wouldn't I be an unrighteous person!?"

Hearing what she said, Hu Qi felt a prick in his heart, but his face was already pale, so the discoloration from the pain is not obvious now.

Sun Sanniang is only twelve years old, and she is not very good at observing words and expressions. She still said: "My father asked you to do something, and if you are allowed to do it, I will betrothed to you. Although it is an evil thing, you did it for my family. If it is done, then I will be your wife!"

"No, let's go." Hu Qi tilted his head to one side.

"No, how can a person be unrighteous? Besides... Besides, I have already cut off contact with my family because of you. I can only be your wife. "

Hu Qi's eyes darkened, and he was about to say something when suddenly Zou Erlang jumped out from behind him—Zou Erlang had been there for a long time, but Hu Qi couldn't move now, and couldn't turn around and look behind him: "You This little girl is really stupid. He was scolded for being immoral and unrighteous, but you told him that you can't be unrighteous. Then it would be interesting if the two of you became husband and wife. You must praise you and despise him. Could it be on purpose?"

"You..." Sun Sanniang wanted to call Zou Erlang nonsense, but she wasn't really stupid.Most of the girls in Dawei were married in their twelfth or thirteenth year, so they matured very precociously.Moreover, the girl's ability to leave home and join her husband for the righteousness in her heart shows that she is very assertive - although this behavior is really stupid.She recalled Hu Qi's refusal just now, she didn't think about it, and then she understood what was going on, she bit her lip, "Then I'm his wife too."

Zou Erlang smiled. He found a clean place on the cage of Huqizhan and knocked on it, then took out a piece of paper from his arms: "This is the marriage letter between you and Sun Sanniang, and the Daling also said this. It is indeed true. Also, all your money was handed over to the nursing home by order, but you yourself have been kicked out. And this Si'an, not to mention the Sun family's tofu shop, other places are also I won't want you anymore. In other words, you have no money and nowhere to go. Don't think that you can be a beggar, no one will give you money, and other beggars will look down on you, drive you, and beat you, but... you The appearance is really good, maybe someone is willing to pay for chrysanthemums?"

Hu Qi was so angry that his eyes were red, and his teeth were chattering.

"However, we have been brothers for many years. I think so, I will give you a penny, and you sell your wife to me, how about it?" Zou Erlang turned his head and smiled at Sun Sanniang.

"Husband?! I am willing to endure hardships with you!" Sun Sanniang gave Zou Erlang a fierce look.

Hu Qi looked at Sun Erniang with gloomy eyes. He actually wanted to reject Zou Erlang, but what Zou Erlang said just now was right. He couldn't live in Si'an any longer and had to leave, but he was penniless. , now that summer is about to pass, spring and autumn are here, and there is no money, what is waiting for him is to freeze to death and starve to death: "Okay! But I want two slings of money!"

Zou Erlang hesitated for a while: "It's only two pennies. If you raise the price again, I'll take off your pants right now..." He left the sentence in half, but the meaning of the warning couldn't be more clear.

"I know, but I can only write the receipt when I'm put down tomorrow."

"No, you wait!" Zou Erlang turned around and ran into the Yamen, found the clerk who wrote the document and acted as a guarantee, thanked the document on the spot, and Sun Sanniang was Zou Erlang's man.

When he pressed his fingerprints, Hu Qi almost bit his lips, so it was naturally his conscience.When the clerk turned his head back to the yamen, Hu Qi asked, "Since when did you become so friendly with the officials?"

Zou Erlang chuckled: "What you should ask is, when did the two Wen Tongs get along with the officials?"

Hu Qi felt as if someone had hit him with a stick: "I... I really deserve it... Ha ha!"

"You really deserve it, you are still a fool, and you are still a fool now."

"I'm not stupid! It's just that I didn't expect that Uncle Liu really has some kind of favor from the prefect! He's just a house slave..."

Zou Erlang didn't bother to lecture him. He used to follow Niu Er, and he had been with Hu Qihu before. At that time, he thought he was smart and had a lot of tricks, but now it seems that he is really stupid.He turned his head and grabbed Sun Sanniang's sleeve, thinking that it would take some strength to pull her away, but who knew that the little girl followed him along with his strength.

When they were far away, Zou Erlang let go and said, "You should go home."

Sun Sanniang shook her head: "Since I let Hu Qi sell it to you, I am yours."

"I said you are stupid, aren't you? And even if you are his wife, if you don't want to, it's not a bargain, but a robbery." Zou Erlang suddenly thought of something, looked at Sun Sanniang suspiciously, "You're not trying to get me by looting, are you?"

"Of course not!" Sun Sanniang shook her head, "I married Hu Qi for the sake of righteousness and sincerity. He is in trouble now, and if he wants to sell me, then I should be honest..."

"I said you're sick?!" Zou Erlang was about to jump, but he wouldn't say that he was actually jealous of Hu Qi.

Sun Sanniang glanced at him, probably thinking that he was being amusing like this, her eyes were small, but her eyes widened, and she couldn't see anymore: "I'm not for Hu Qi, I'm for my father, my grandfather."

"what?"

"My family's reputation has already been ruined. If I don't marry, I will lose even the last integrity. How will my family live?"

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.The trial of Hu Qi's case was completed near noon, and now it is known all over the city.The Sun family's tofu shop is also a time-honored brand. In recent years, even if children with burdens robbed their business, they can still make ends meet.For example, in the second half of the day, there was not even a single person buying tofu, and some people ran to his door to pee.

Because this matter is not just an internal strife among the merchants, it can also be said that the Sun family is playing tricks to harm a group of children.It doesn't matter whether his products are cheap or good, but as long as the conscience is broken, the people of Dawei will not buy his products.Even for boys in this family to marry wives, it will become very difficult for girls to marry.

But Sun Sanniang, as a little girl, married Hu Qi, a virtuous and immoral person for the sake of righteousness and sincerity. This will let people know that the conscience of this family is not all bad. .Then they will forgive their family a little bit, and the Sun family will have a way out.

"..." Zou Erlang didn't expect to say that, because he had no family, so he forgot that there was such a possibility.He scratched his head, and suddenly grabbed Sun Sanniang's sleeve again, "Then, then you are my wife."

Zou Erlang knew that this was a good woman, and there were many good women in the nursery, but he regarded them all as his younger sisters, and always felt that marrying a wife was far away from him.Now looking at Sun Sanniang and listening to her words and deeds, I just feel that I like her more and more in my heart. If such a good woman is married by others in the future, he will definitely work hard with others!

Sun Sanniang said for a long time that "being a wife" is fine, but now she also blushed: "Don't talk about it."

"Then you answer me first."

"You scoundrel... um."
