Chapter 17

They continue to walk through the streets. Because it's still early, they are not in a hurry to go back. Luo Qiuyun simply takes Chen Jing and Luo Tianxiang around and buys the right things.

At the same time, a middle-aged man and his teenage baby are looking for jobs in a corner of the West Pier. Unfortunately, no one is willing to accept them from the beginning to the end. The middle-aged boy has a thin and weak leg.

Most of the people working in the dock are looking for strength. A middle-aged man with inconvenient legs leads a young man who is thin as a hemp pole. Who can look up to him.

However, they have something to do with Chen Jing. If she meets them, they may be recognized as their mother's elder brother and nephew from each other's appearance.

As for why it appears here, we have to start from the beginning.

Uncle Yu Biao of Chen Jing used to be a famous hunter in the nearby area. Unfortunately, when he came into the mountain more than ten years ago, he met a blind bear and limped his leg.

As the head of a family, the mainstay of the Yu family, without a leg, it means that they have no means to support their families. They are not rich families, and they are even more depressed!

Fortunately, Chen Jing's mother was still alive at that time. Seeing that her mother's family couldn't live any longer, she would occasionally give some allowance, and she could still live. However, because of this, Yu's mother was not less despised by her mother-in-law's family. This is also an important reason why Chen Jing's mother died soon after.

Later, Chen Jing's father also went, leaving Chen Jing with only one child. As an uncle, Yu Biao should bring Chen Jing up at home. However, Yu Biao's family is extremely hard. He has to serve his sick parents, take care of his sons, and his wife is not in good health. She really doesn't have half a grain of surplus food. How dare she take Chen Jing over and suffer together ?

Finally, young Chen Jing lives in Chen's house. Yu Biao feels sorry for Chen Jing's niece. When he hears that Chen Jing is pretty good to Chen Jing, he doesn't even dare to go to the door, for fear that others will know that Chen Jing has such a down-to-earth uncle to humiliate Chen Jing

As time goes by, more than ten years have passed. Chen Jing has little impression of her uncle, whom she seldom meets. She only hears that her family is very poor and has no rice to cook for one year. Her uncle also takes several cousins to the city to beg for food.

It was said by the people of chenjiacun, because someone had met them. The old couple were afraid that Chen Jing would learn from his mother, and they specially reprimanded Chen Jing for not allowing her to steal something from her family. At that time, Chen Jing was sensible, but because she was young, she couldn't help.

Later, slowly, she never heard from other people. Chen Jing thought they couldn't survive and they all starved to death, but she didn't know that Yu Biao, in order to support his family, dragged his remnant leg down the mountain to cover up the prey and survived.

A burst of hunger, especially for the old people, they will not be able to live with the wind.

Now, at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, it's more and more difficult to get food in the mountain. Yu Biao wants to take his eldest son to the city to see if he can find a job.

At the age of 16 years ago, he was too thin to grow up.

Unfortunately, things are not as good as Yu Biao thought. In the morning, there are far more people going to the wharf to look for work than there are people who need to work. Yu Biao and his son, who have no advantage, are naturally ignored in the end, that is, they are willing to ask for less money, and they are not willing to, for fear of trouble.

Yu Biao, helpless, pulls his son to squat on the ground with a look of despair on his face. On the other side, Chen Jing, who doesn't know his uncle has also entered the city, is following Luo Qiuyun towards the wharf.

Luo Qiuyun holds Luo Tianxiang. Because the little guy says he wants to see the boat, Luo Qiuyun also wants to know about the daily life of ancient porters, so he goes to the wharf.

It happened that Luo Qiuyun, holding Luo Tianxiang and leading Chen Jing around the dock, met Yu Biao and his son, who were curled up in the corner.

"Mother, look at them How pitiful they are Luo Tianxiang suddenly pointed to the two people in the corner.

Luo Qiuyun and Chen Jing look at each other at the same time. Before Luo Qiuyun says anything, Chen Jing first finds something different. "How do these two look familiar to each other?" Chen Jing was puzzled.

Yu Biao and his son heard a child's voice saying that they were two. They subconsciously looked up. When their eyes touched Chen Jing, they were stunned.

"Mother, mother, do you think this grandfather is very similar to Aunt Jing?" Luo Tianli's childish voice rings again. When Luo Qiuyun hears it, he looks back at Yu Biao, his son and Chen Jing, and finds that they are really similar. Others don't know that they must be a family.

"Uncle?" Chen Jing stares big eyes and mumbles in disbelief.

When Yu Biao and his son heard these words, they were also shocked. They looked at Chen Jing, even when they were full of tears.

"Aunt Jing, who is your uncle?" Luo Tianxiang dares to speak in front of strangers. This is also because Luo Qiuyun took him up the mountain a few days ago. At that time, he stayed with Chen Jing every day and became familiar with him as time goes on.Of course, he would ask questions, mainly because the word uncle aroused his interest. In Luo Tianxiang's eyes, uncle is just like Luo Tianli, who wants to let himself play with him as much as possible.

"Are you Uncle Chen Jing? Why did it come down to this? " Luo Qiuyun didn't wait for Chen Jing to answer. Seeing that Luo Tianxiang was interested, he asked first.

For fear that his uncle would offend Luo Qiuyun, Chen Jingsheng reminds Yu Biao before his father and son answer, "uncle, this is my young lady. Now I have sold myself to Luo's house as a servant girl."

"What? Boy, you How could you do that? Chen Er, don't they treat you well? " When Yu Biao heard that Chen Jing was sold to be a servant girl, he thought that Chen and his wife must have treated her badly, and he felt remorseful.

Chen Jing shook his head and said, "no, uncle. I'll explain this to you later. Don't worry. Now I'm living very well in the Luo family, but I haven't heard from you for many years."

"Uncle, is there something difficult? Let's talk about it today. My young lady is kind-hearted. Maybe she can help us! " Chen Jing said, turned to see Luo Qiuyun one eye, see she didn't refute the meaning, then know that he just said those words didn't guess the other party's meaning.

Yu Biao looked up at Chen Jing, then turned to look at Luo Qiuyun and Luo Tianxiang, and sighed: "Alas, it's useless for my uncle. I can't take care of you these years. I can't even support my family. Let your grandfather, grandmother, aunt and cousins suffer with me."

With that, Yu Biao told Chen Jing and Luo Qiuyun what he had experienced in recent years. Chen Jing was very sad after listening to it, and Luo Qiuyun sympathized with him, but he admired Yu Biao, a man with strong will.

"You're looking for a job today. Why don't you come to my home and work as a long-term worker? My family will move here and take care of Chen Jing. I'm planning to raise some chickens and ducks on the top of the mountain I bought before. Then I'll build a chicken house and a duck house. By the way, a few houses will be enough for you. How about helping me guard the chickens and ducks?"

"This Is that ok? " Yu Biao seems to be incredulous, looking at Luo Qiuyun repeatedly confirmed, dare to believe that he did not dream.

"Great, great, heaven has eyes! Thank you, miss. My yubiao family will serve you as slaves and servants from now on. " Yu Biao said, kneeling and kowtowing in front of Luo Qiuyun.

Luo Qiuyun quickly stopped and said, "no, no, I don't want any servants. If you really appreciate me, you can help me do things well in the future."

When Yu Biao saw this, his new boss was kind-hearted, but he didn't want the other party to suffer. He immediately made a heavy oath and said, "don't worry, miss. If yu Biao and his family don't follow in the future, if they don't dare to do things well, they will let heaven break the thunder!"

Once the ancients say this, it is no different from Luo Qiuyun's oath.

"Uncle Yu, you don't need to. You are Chen Jing's uncle. I'll call you that in the future. Is that ok?" Luo Qiuyun asked.

"Thank you for your love. I'm sorry for the small collar." Although Yu Biao's family is poor now, he studied with his master for several years when he was a child. He has some ink. Therefore, he can understand Luo Qiuyun's esteem.

Of course, Yu Biao also knows that Chen Jing's face is in the other party's eyes. However, in the future, their family will work conscientiously. This benevolent owner will not embarrass himself, saying that he will continue to use them. When the time comes, they will have no worries about food and clothing, and they will not sell themselves.

In the past, when working in a big family, most of them had to sell themselves to others. In this way, they would no longer be good people.

However, after listening to miss's previous intention, it was obvious that she didn't let herself sign any sale agreement, that is to say, she would go or stay as she wanted. How rare is it to meet such a kind Master? Yu Biao heart inside grateful at the same time, also more firm after vowing to follow Luo Qiuyun's mind.

"Well, that's a deal. You can take the silver back and settle down at home first. When my house is built, you can come back." Luo Qiuyun said as he shoved five Liang silver into Yu Biao's hands.

Yu Biao immediately thanks Luo Qiuyun and says, "Miss, can we move here immediately, I think I want to work early, otherwise Yu Biao will feel uneasy, and his parents will also feel uneasy. Besides, I have nothing to deal with, so I don't want to be there! "

"Can I move here?" Luo Qiuyun frowned slightly, as if he had something to do: "but I have no place for you."

Luo Qiuyun said, thinking that there is really no spare room for Yu Biao's family, he can't help but feel embarrassed. Can Yu Biao's family be crowded into the East Chamber? But there are only two rooms in the East chamber. How can that be enough?!

"Miss, don't worry. The yubiao family don't need to prepare rooms. They just need to have thatch over their heads to keep out the rain. Even pigsty, cowshed and chicken coop are OK. The yubiao family are grateful to you for your kindness." With that, Yu Biao immediately took his eldest son to give Luo Qiuyun another kneeling salute!
