Early in the morning, Liu San woke Duan Xiaohe who was still lying on the brick bed with her saliva dripping from her mouth.
"What's going on outside?"
Liu San was silent for a moment, then said with a solemn face: "Liu Wang's wife died."
Duan Xiaohe was stunned for a while before she finally jumped up from the brick bed. She pulled at the wound on her waist, and broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. What nonsense are you spouting? His wife was still fine yesterday. "
"Yesterday, last night."
Last night, after they had left, Silver Phoenix had stopped Chen Quan at the entrance of the street, who was already close to going crazy. In Chen Quan's mind, that hundred over silver was something that he could easily get his hands on. He did not expect that just because of a single sentence from his sister, he had lost it all!
Since she was young, the Silver Phoenix had listened to her brother and told her everything to him. All of her ideas were taken by her brother, she did not expect that because of them, they would disobey Chen Quan's orders. Chen Quan was still fuming, but the Silver Phoenix was actually pushed down to the ground after the two of them quarreled. The village was currently paving a dirt road covered with crushed stones, and the back of Silver Phoenix's head was immediately pierced through. Not long after, she died.
Hearing this news, Duan Xiaohe's entire body became cold. She would have preferred to have such an estranged neighbor forever. She had always felt that the direct cause of Silver Phoenix's death was due to the events of the night before.
"Outside, what did he say?"
"Chen Quan is making a ruckus with her wife, saying that Gou Zi's mother's life is ended by her making a ruckus over here, and that she has to report it to the officials."
Duan Xiaohe snorted, "The officials will report it to the officials, what are you muttering about here? County Government Office aren't here, why are you acting so haughtily here? "
Liu San didn't really understand her last sentence, but he knew it was a curse. "Lie here peacefully. Uncle Jin Fu has already gone to take care of it."
"What about Dogman?"
"When it came to that child, Liu San was silent again for a while. Begonia's mom and Liu Miao are staying over there with each other. "
Duan Xiaohe did not speak further, she obediently laid on the brick bed, and listened to the sounds outside. The people outside were in a mess, causing her heart to tremble.
He did not know how many times he turned around, but it was quite some time before someone opened the door and entered the room. When she raised her head, it was actually the Begonia.
"Begonia, what's the situation outside?"
"This is …" Begonia sat down beside her and carefully lifted up the clothes around her waist. She cried out in surprise when she saw the black patch. Sis, have you applied the medicine? Have you been seen by Big Brother Qin? "
From that day onwards, Duan Xiaohe had only avoided Qin Rui once, so how could she dare to call Qin Rui over to watch? She had only bumped into it a little more, and all she needed to do was to wipe the medicinal wine off.
After he casually said a few words, he asked Begonia again. Begonia said with a cold face that he had never seen such a shameless and unreasonable person, but if he couldn't get any benefits, he would immediately destroy Liu Wang's things after entering the door. By the time his father rushed over, another conflict had broken out between the two sides, and his father's head was also cracked.
"The Third Brother Liu has led people to surround them, and has sent people to the county to call for the yamen's men. "When those people heard that they were going to cause trouble at the yamen, they did not dare to speak anymore." Begonia changed a basin of cold water to give her cold treatment, and said: "You don't have to say, Third Brother Liu really has some skills this time, he was even more arrogant than my father at that time."
"What about now? "When our people get to the county, what time is it?"
The Begonia said at a moderate pace, "The mayor of the village has come, and is talking about this with my father. I heard what happened yesterday. These people are too much. Do you know what the best evidence is? It was the green ox in brother Liu Wang's house, the hole on its neck. "Let's wait for the officials to arrive and see what they say."
Duan Xiaohe also felt that in order to deal with this kind of person, they had to report him to the authorities. They had harmed her sister, and they even wanted to push the blame of the situation to someone else.
When it was slightly later, someone arrived from the County Government Office. As expected, when Chen Quan and the others saw that they had called out for someone from the County Government Office, they all became listless. Chen Quan was even more stubborn, he insisted on telling them everything that had happened last night in black and white. Fortunately, the person on duty had investigated everything carefully, brought Chen Quan and the rest back, Liu Wang and Liu San were called out as the people involved.
Along with it was the cow from Liu Wang's family.
Mentioning this matter, Duan Xiaohe felt a headache. How many times had the Liu San entered the yamen, even the yamen runners knew who he was? If this went on, the other party would probably tell his Liu San that he was a dishonest person, going in and out of the yamen every day as if he was returning home. There would always be one thing that would fall on his head.
Duan Xiaohe stayed the whole time to eat Begonia. Although she said that she was here to eat, she had actually come to cook for her family. After she finished cooking, she told Begonia to call the dog over to eat, but Begonia said that the dog was temporarily taken over to her house.
Liu Wang's wife had died, Gou Zi's mother had died, the family that was originally doing well had now become like this. Although Duan Xiaohe was not the Holy Mother, she still felt that it was him who had lost his family.
"Ah, Begonia, when the clothes are done, how about we open a shop in the county or in the town? At that time, I want to invite Liu Wang to be the shopkeeper, so it can be considered as my compensation to his family. "
She knew that Duan Xiaohe had her own business, but never thought that Duan Xiaohe would take care of Liu Wang's family. She immediately said that their relationship was good, so Big Brother Liu Wang's actions made people feel at ease.
However, Duan Xiaohe laughed bitterly and said: "You don't know, his wife did not know what she taught Gou Zi. That day, she pointed at me and scolded me. I was afraid the kid would hate me. "
The transvestite didn't know that there was such a possibility. After staring blankly for a while, she said, "Children are taught well, and Gouzi isn't any bad child. When the time comes, we'll talk properly and he'll understand."
It wasn't until the Liu San returned at night and separated from Liu Wang at the main gate that they saw Duan Xiaohe, who was waiting for them in the courtyard, after pushing open the gate. His tall figure moved to her side in two steps and touched her cold little face.
"I've been waiting here for so long, why haven't I entered the house? "Although it's hot during the day, it's still cold at night. What do you do if you get the cold? I don't have the money to buy you medicine."
Duan Xiaohe's heart trembled when she heard it, "You want to lose money?"
"No need."
He took her back into the house and made her lie down, then cleaned himself up before going back into the room and getting on the brick bed. Lying next to her, he suddenly felt at ease.
The Liu San said that after entering the County Government Office, those people who were following Chen Quan all panicked. Chen Quan panicked. He was usually quite a strong person in the village, but he didn't even dare to fart in the court. After the Zhixun County found out about Chen Quan, they threw him into the prison. Both of them were innocent and they were released.
Duan Xiaohe heaved a sigh of relief, this case could be considered finished, and she took the chance to share her thoughts with the Liu San. Liu San nodded and said it was possible. She could go and ask for his tomorrow.
"Forget it. We'll talk about it in two days." Oh right, have you eaten yet? I'll go and get you something hot to eat. Begonia made quite a lot this afternoon, so I left it especially for you. "
"The Liu San pulled Duan Xiaohe, who had already sat up, down once again, and hugged him tightly. "You can stop for now, we ate it when we came."
She had been lying on the kang most of the time. After applying medicine every day, he had pretty much recuperated. In his heart, he was anxious about the clothes in the Begonia's hands. A few days ago, he wanted to go out, but the Liu San stopped him.
I have to go to the county tomorrow, Duan Xiaohe thought, maybe I should find a chance to mention this to the Liu Wang family. It just so happened that today she asked Liu San to go back and ask her about the situation. She took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Liu Wang's family and Haitang's family.
The courtyard door of Liu Wang's house was wide open. The original green cattle had disappeared, leaving an empty circle inside. The hay and cow dung inside had not been cleaned up yet, and they were all dry inside, giving off an unpleasant smell.
There was a child sitting in front of the house, looking at her with empty eyes. Duan Xiaohe pursed her lips and walked over, then placed the specially made osmanthus cake beside Gou Zi.
"Good boy."
She did not go in. The villagers loved to mess around. For the past few days, the entire Liu Wang family had been discussed like this. Duan Xiaohe sighed, and stood there shouting Liu Wang.
"Sister, you were looking for me?"
Liu Wang came back from outside with two bottles of wine.
Seeing him like that, Duan Xiaohe's face turned old and dirty, he became much thinner, and was no longer the same as before. She had been lying on the brick bed all this time. After eating and sleeping, she had gained a lot of weight.
He was simply here to be a nuisance!
"It's like this. I have to enter the county city tomorrow. I want to call you to go with Gouzi."
Liu Wang laughed bitterly, pointed to his empty bull collar and said: "I sold my cow, and I can't go to such a far place in the county. "Why don't you take Gou Zi to play? He's so old, and I haven't even brought him to the county town yet."
Duan Xiaohe also knew that the cow would not survive. When the two of them came back from County Government Office, the cow had not come back with them, it had probably been sold cheaply.
He told Liu Wang his thoughts and said, "Gouzi is an intelligent child, I can't bury him here for the rest of my life. You both have a new start when you go to the county town. Big Brother Liu Wang, go and try it out. "
Liu Wang did not say anything, and Gouzi did not say anything either. Duan Xiaohe sighed, and only said that he would consider, and would come again to call him when she left tomorrow morning.
Begonia had already prepared to take her to see those clothes, but she did not expect Duan Xiaohe to come by herself. The clothes were much more beautiful than she had expected. This time, they were made out of good materials, making it seem as if the clothes they had worn before became trashy goods. She didn't believe that the Little County Princess was not satisfied with clothes like this.
"Sis, what are we going to wear tomorrow?"
"Just ordinary clothes will do."
When Liu San came back from the Fujiang Village, he said that the Lady Wang had already gone to ask the old man of the Duan Clan.
