Chapter 24

After arriving at Zhuo Fu's house, Wang Chong knew that the Zhuo family was a local landlord, similar to his last game grandson.

However, this zhuofu is much less authentic. It not only opens casinos, but also lends usury. In short, in addition to formal industries, other industries are involved.

This guy is very harsh to the servants. All the servants in the family were forced to sell by him with gambling debts, so he just needs to provide the servants with some food, which is equivalent to giving him free work. The servants also gave him a nickname behind his back, called Zhuo peipi.

He has a lot of thugs in his hands. Anyone who doesn't obey will be beaten, and the servants in his family dare to be angry.

Wang Zhong was assigned to work in the kitchen of Zhuo mansion. He was not too tired. He helped burn a fire every day, and then washed clothes and swept the floor.

Although I do a lot of work every day, it's not bad. That is, I'm finally full. There's no big fish and meat, but enough food.

"I didn't expect to be reduced to here, and I don't know what happened to my mother."

Wang sighed heavily and thought about what to do next.

He can't stay here all the time. With zhuofu's temperament, even if he works until he reaches adulthood, I'm afraid he won't let people go, but he will continue to squeeze him.

However, at present, I'm too young. I'm afraid I'll be caught when I run home.

"Forget it, let's work first, eat more food and grow well."

Just thinking, a servant girl came up and said, "kid, are you called Wang Xiaoyu?"

"What's up, sister?"

"There is a woman at the back door. Is it your mother? She asked me to call you."

"Thank you."

Wang Xiaoyu stopped his laundry temporarily and went out.

"Son, have you not suffered?" Seeing Wang Chong coming out, Zhang Xiaohong was excited, hugged him, and her eyes were red.

"Mom, I'm fine. Although I work for them, I'm full."

Wang glanced at his mother's face again, and his heart suddenly clenched.

After leaving last night, Wang Dayong beat Zhang Xiaohong all over with injuries. Now both eyes are swollen.

"Hey, it's all because my mother has no ability. Don't worry, I'll find a way to bring you out, and then we'll leave here."

"But where can I go? If I leave, I won't even have a place to live." Wang Chong shook his head. "I'll live here first. You'll be fine alone."

"Son..." seeing that Wang Zhong was so sensible, Zhang Xiaohong burst into tears: "son, it's all your father. Your father, what shall we do in the future!"

"It's okay, mom. I'll take care of myself."

After chatting for a while, the former servant girl secretly ran out: "Hey, that's almost what you said. If the housekeeper comes down and finds you out, he will punish you. Come in with me quickly."

The servant girl was good. Wang nodded emphatically, "I know, little sister."

Followed the servant girl to go in, and the servant girl asked, "child, how did Zhuo peipi catch you?"

"My father lost the bet and I was sold here."

"Well, just like me." The servant girl bowed her head and said sadly, "but you are better than me. My father lost the bet, sold my mother to Yangchun courtyard to receive guests, and sold me here again."

"They are all animals!" Wang Zhong said angrily.

"When I'm 18 years old, I'll also be taken to Yangchun courtyard to meet the guests. Zhuo paopi said that we still owe him a lot of money, a lot of money. I have to go to meet the guests, and then he will let my mother go."

Speaking of the sad place, the servant girl also cried, "I'm fifteen now, and there are only three years left."

Wang Zhong squeezed his fist and said angrily, "what kind of world is this and why it's not a good person?"

"Kid, my name is Yalan, and you?"

"My name is Wang Xiaoyu, sister Yalan. Haven't you ever thought of sneaking away?"

"Don't be silly. Just run away. Where can I escape? I'm a girl, and I'm also living on the street outside."

"You two are chatting when you don't work?"

At this time, a gloomy voice came from behind.

Wang Zhong hurriedly turned back. The steward of the Zhuo family, named Zhang laoben, was a man in his fifties. He was fat and big ears. He liked to bully others under the guise of tiger power. The servants dared to be angry with him.

"Steward Zhang, we were preparing to go to the kitchen without chatting." Ya LAN lowered her head and said in fear.

"Hum, I saw it all. Haven't you talked yet? And you." Zhang laoben looked at Wang Zhong, "are you a new slave named Xiaoyu? I didn't arrange you to work in the kitchen. Why did you run around?"

"I go to the bathroom." Wang Zhong responded.

"Yes, little brother, he just came here and is not familiar with it. I showed him the way." Yalan hurried.

"Nonsense, I saw you coming from the door with my own eyes. Did you just want to run?"

Zhang Lao Ben shouted fiercely, picked up the bamboo board in his hand, and hit Wang Chong with his arm.

"Pa Pa!" These two bamboo boards hit Wang Chong's hands numb, and his young hands immediately became red and swollen.

Yalan was hurriedly protected by Wang Chong, so Zhang laoben didn't fight anymore. After all, Yalan will be sold to Yangchun hospital in the future, and the guests won't like it if she broke her body.

"Steward Zhang, we were wrong. Just after Xiaoyu's mother came, I took him to see him. I didn't dare to see him in the future." Yalan bowed her head and said.

"I knew it. Get out of the way and I'll give him a lesson."

Wang Chong stared at Zhang laoben expressionless and said, "sister Yalan, get out of the way. I'll take this lesson."

"This..."

Ya LAN bit and finally got out of the way.

"Hey, hey, you know." Zhang laoben picked up the bamboo board and hit it.

This tripod hurt Wang Chong's right arm for several days. Fortunately, sister Yalan borrowed the injury medicine from a servant for him, which made Wang Chong feel better.

Two years passed in an instant.

Wang Chong's thin body has grown a lot. At the age of six, he has helped cut firewood and wash clothes in the Zhuo family.

Other servants said that after Wang Chong was ten years old, he would go to some industries of the Zhuo family to help, such as coolie, serving tea and water in restaurants. In short, it would be dark all his life.

Knowing this, Wang Zhong secretly made up his mind to find a chance to leave early.

Zhang Xiaohong occasionally comes to see Wang Zhong secretly in the evening, and brings a chicken leg every time.

According to her, in order to avoid the debt owed by Wang Dayong, she doesn't go home now. She works in Yuanlai Inn every day and lives in the firewood room of the Inn at night. As for Wang Dayong, she hasn't heard from him for a long time.

This year, Ya LAN has been unhappy. Next year, she will be sent to Ji Hospital. At the thought of the dark life in the future, she can't be happy at all.

"Xiaoyu, these are the new shoes I have mended for you these days. Your children grow fast. Your previous shoes have long been out of shape."

Ya LAN gently touched Wang Chong's head and suddenly cried, "remember to come and see my sister in the future. My sister will miss you."

"Sister Yalan, run away. My mother is at Yuanlai inn. She knows you. You told her the situation. She took you back to my countryside. It's not easy for them to catch you."

"It's useless. I'll accept my fate." Yalan cried and shook her head.

Suddenly there was a noise at the door.

"On the order of the governor, I hereby order us to catch Zhuo Fu, the court's main criminal, and all the people in my family, not one of them!"
