Xu Qinyu actually didn't expect that Mrs. Luo was beaten and paralyzed on the bed. Mrs. Luo was paralyzed, and the Luo family's father and son were unattended, so they would naturally pester the Lin family, but Lin's worked in Xu Ji for a year. More, with his own confidence, he can earn twenty taels of silver a year, which is Lin's confidence.

So even if Luo Dagen came to entangle, Lin was not afraid at all.

Compared with the old lady Luo, the old man Luo disgusted Xu Qinyu even more, and he was incompetent and domestic violence.

She even hoped that the two fathers and sons of the Luo family would be punished as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Lin Shi quickly thanked Xu Qinyu, "Thank you my boss."

Xu Qinyu waved his hand, "It's fine, but just in case, you should let Aunt Yuan stay with you for two nights, so that Luo Dagen doesn't want to cheat after taking the money, and now there is no one in their Luo family to take care of Luo Dagen and his son. Man, Mrs. Luo is paralyzed and stupid again, and she needs someone to take care of her, I'm afraid he will jump over the wall and force you to go back to Luo's house."

"Don't worry, owner." Lin said, "I won't let him do it."

Even if Luo Dagen dared to pull her back to the Luo family, she would dare to turn the Luo family upside down.

Xu Qinyu nodded, "That's done, you all go home earlier."

After speaking, she went back to Laixi Lane.

Xu Feng, who was behind, had been listening to what Aunt Lin and Master said, and frowned.

From Xu Feng's point of view, the entire restaurant is a family, and the Lin family is also very good to them on weekdays.

Hearing that Luo Dahe was still pestering Aunt Lin at this moment, he thought about it and said, "Auntie, you wash the dishes first, I'll go out."

"Go."

Xu Feng has been raising his body in the restaurant for more than a year. He is much taller, about the same size as Cheng Ge'er, and a little taller than Xu Qinyu. In addition, he wears a blindfold on weekdays, so he doesn't like to laugh very much. Look. It's also strangely intimidating.

Xu Feng went to find Tao Qi and the three.

Tao Qi went to the master's workshop to steal ham, and was almost scared to death by Mo Yu and Bai Yu.

Later, the master sent the three of them to the yamen, and after the three of them got out of the board, they were considered to be righteous. They first helped the master to farm the land, and then went to do small work for the winery, dig wells, and when these tasks were finished, they would occasionally Help the restaurant to deliver some goods. If the restaurant doesn't need them very much, they will go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables and spring bamboo shoots, or hunt, and the restaurant will accept it, or they will go to the wharf to contribute. In short, they don't continue to be jerk.

Xu Feng has never cut off contact with them. After the grapes in the mountain are ripe next month, they will continue to pick grapes on the mountain and send them to the winery.

Yesterday, Tao Qi also pulled two other people to deliver a batch of dry goods to the restaurant, such as red dates, seaweed, kelp, and fungus.

Xu Feng quickly found where Tao Qi lived. When Tao Qi saw Xu Feng, he immediately said, "Brother Feng, why are you here this evening?"

Although Xu Feng didn't let the three of them call him Brother Feng, the three of them didn't listen. They felt that he was very powerful, so they kept calling Brother Feng and wanted to work under him.

Xu Feng said: "I want to help you with something."

Tao Qi hooked Xu Feng's shoulder, and the two came to the door, "Brother Feng, just say anything."

Xu Feng told Tao Qi about the grievances between the Lin family and the Luo family.

Tao Qi all knew about this. When the Lin family and the Luo family went to the yamen, Yuanbao Town was so big, and if something happened, it would spread quickly. To be honest, who wouldn't despise such a man? No responsibility at all.

Xu Feng told Tao Qi again, "Now that the mother-in-law in front of Aunt Lin is in trouble, she was beaten stupidly by the old man in the family, and the whole family needs someone to take care of them, so they want to get Aunt Lin back. Of course Aunt Lin is not willing, but after all, she is a If the women were really dragged away by the Luo family, I was worried that Aunt Lin wouldn't be able to resist. I'm not afraid of anything else, Aunt Lin would call someone, but even if Luo Dagen beat her, Aunt Lin suffered a loss, so these few nights, Aunt Lin was off work. Later, I asked Brother Tao to help you, follow Aunt Lin, and don't let Aunt Lin find out, just send her and the eldest girl back safely."

Tao Qi said: "Brother Feng, don't worry, it's all up to me."

Xu Feng nodded and told Tao Qi, "The wild grapes in the mountains will be ripe next month. You always go to the mountains on weekdays, and you must be familiar with them. The grapes will be picked at that time, which requires a lot of manpower. Uncle Zhen and I are there. I said that when the time comes, the guys in the winery will also have the share of the three of you, and the wages will be settled according to the kilograms of grapes picked."

Tao Qi smiled and said, "Thank you, brother!"

When Xu Feng left, Tao Qi looked for the other two.

The three of them lived close together, and they knew each other since their crotch pants, and they were closer than brothers.

When the other two heard it, they immediately agreed to help.

The three went to the restaurant first and hid in an alley, waiting for Mr. Lin in the restaurant to get off work.

After waiting for half an hour, Mrs. Lin came out. When he came out, he explained that the weather was good and the brothers went to bed early at night and bolted the door.

She still treats them as children.

The three women and the big girl Er Niu came out of the restaurant and locked the door of the restaurant again.

There is a small door in the backyard of the restaurant, which is usually locked from the inside. Xu Feng and the others want to go out for a few nights.

After a few people came out, Mrs. Chen went back to Guihua Lane by herself, Mrs. Yuan sent the three of Mrs. Lin and her daughter back to North Street.

Seeing Lin's coming out, Tao Qi and the others followed not far or near. It was completely dark at this moment. They followed behind the two women and two little girls, and they couldn't notice anything. .

Soon after returning to Lin's place, Luo Dagen was already waiting in front of the door. Seeing a woman following Lin's side, Luo Dagen, who wanted to be moved, could only say fiercely, "Hurry up and return the money. I."

Lin said: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and get the paper, and ask the literate scholar next door to help write a testimony, I'll return the remaining twenty-three taels of silver to you, the eldest girl and the second girl have absolutely nothing to do with your Luo family. already."

Luo Dagen said gruffly, "Hurry up, don't delay Lao Tzu's business."

When Lin led the big girl Erniu in, Yuan started to scold Luo Dagen, "Tell me, why don't you even look like a man? At the beginning, you swore that after receiving the money, you would talk to Lin Meizi and the big girl Erniu. It doesn't matter. Now all the money in the family has been swept away. What's the matter? You think of our sister Lin again, don't you? Do you still think that we are the same as before? retribution!"

"You bitch, shut up for me." Luo Dagen became angry, but he didn't dare to hit anyone.

"Why, don't let me say it?" Yuan Shi sneered, "Your family will be punished! Be careful, you will be next!"

Luo Dagen became angry and raised his hand to hit someone, "You stinky bitch, who are you cursing, believe it or not, I will kill you."

The quarrel between the two was a bit loud, attracting all the neighbors around, standing at the door and watching the two pointing.

Luo Dagen didn't want to lure the people around him. It was already shameful that something like this happened to his family. He originally thought that even if Lin's could borrow money from his owner, he never thought that Lin's had already saved thirty taels of money. Silver, I just think that if you want to pay off the remaining silver, Lin can only borrow it from their owner. If he can borrow it, when he grabs the silver, no one will see it. Lin can only suffer from this dumb loss and owe him twenty Duoliang owed the owner more than 20 taels, so he could only go home with him.

Now that all the neighbors in the alley are running out to join in the fun, how could it be possible to forcibly take the money, and scolded angrily: "Shut up Laozi."

"Oh, do you still want to hit someone? Come on, try to touch the old lady and see if the old lady doesn't scratch your face. My sister Lin, Sven, doesn't care about you. I'm not easy to bully."

Yuan Shi was originally a savage temperament, and was not afraid of Luo Dagen at all.

When Lin went back to get the paper, she actually went back to the house to get the silver. She took twenty-three taels of silver and went out, took another piece of paper, and hurried out after hearing the quarrel outside.

When Luo Dahe saw the silver in Lin's hands, regardless of Yuan's and the surrounding neighbors, he stepped forward and wanted to grab the silver from Lin's hands.

Yuan Shi grabbed Luo Dagen's sleeve, "What do you want to do, the receipt hasn't been written yet, don't touch your money."

Lin nodded, took the money and paper and went over to ask the old Xiucai next door to help write a data.

The old scholar was also standing at the door to watch the excitement. Seeing this, he was naturally willing to help, so he wrote a receipt with a clear location and time. Luo Dagen received 23 taels of silver from Lin's family, and since then owed Luo Dagen three money for selling his daughter. All the 12 taels of silver were paid off, and the next two girls had nothing to do with the Luo family. After writing, let Luo Dagen put his fingerprints on it.

Looking at the receipt, Luo Dagen was reluctant, but he didn't press his fingerprints, so he couldn't get the money. The Luo family lacked money the most.

There was no other way, Luo Dagen could only press his handprint, and the Lin family gave him twenty-three taels, and he could only leave the Lin family.

Seeing Luo Dagen walking away with the silver in his hand, the neighbors couldn't help but talk, "Can Mr. Lin come out with twenty-three taels of silver? How much wages did Xu Ji's boss give you?"

Although Mrs. Yuan knew that the money belonged to Mrs. Lin, she was afraid that someone who cared about her would think of her sister Lin, so she hurriedly said, "What good things are you thinking of? We work in Xuji, and it costs 800 Wen a month. Mrs. Lin gives to the Luo family every month." Five hundred coins, the remaining three hundred coins have to be used for living, there is not much left, the twenty-three taels of silver was kindly lent to Sister Lin by our boss, and we have to use wages to pay off every month .”

The neighbors suddenly realized, "I said that no matter how generous Xu Ji is to you, it is impossible for the boss to give a salary of tens of taels of silver a year. The silver comes out."

Mrs. Yuan would not tell them that Mr. Xu's family is not only kind-hearted, but also generous. In addition to the red envelope for the Chinese New Year, the wages will increase every year!

Seeing Luo Dagen leave, the gossip was over, and the neighborhood neighbors all dispersed.

Yuan Shi was still worried about Lin Shi and the two daughters, staying at Lin's house for one night.

And Luo Dagen packed the silver in his sleeve and rushed back towards Osmanthus Alley.

He was at a loss as to whether or not to pester Mrs. Lin. He didn't expect Mrs. Lin to be so unfeeling. Before, he thought Mrs. Lin should have a husband and wife affection for him, and the two daughters didn't even have the slightest affection for him.

Luo Dagen took a sip on the ground and cursed in a low voice: "Bitch, you two little white-eyed wolves."

And Tao Qi and the others sent Mrs. Lin home, and saw Mrs. Lin paying back the money and returning to the house.

The three turned around and continued to follow Luo Dagen. They also saw Luo Dagen's shamelessness, and cursed at him in their hearts. Tao Qi even wanted to beat him up, and the other two also planned to beat him up to teach Luo Dagen a lesson. .

When Luo Dazuo walked into a relatively dark alley, the three of them took the sack and rushed over to put it on Luo Dazuo's head, punching and kicking him.

The three of them didn't speak when they beat someone up, and just beat them in silence.

Luo Dagen thought that someone saw him carrying such a big bag of silver just now and wanted to grab his silver, so he held the silver tightly in his arms and started to yell.

In order to take a shortcut, he walked relatively remote, and there was a mixed bag of fish and dragons on North Street. He really thought that someone was trying to grab the money, but those people really pulled into his arms, pulled his sleeves, and wanted to grab it. his silver.

This was also Tao Qi's idea. In order to prevent Luo Dagen from thinking that the person who beat him was related to Lin, he pretended to want to steal his money.

But he will not really rob, if he robs money, he will become a robber.

He is just complaining about Lin's injustice now.

Luo Dagen screamed in panic, fearing that the money would be robbed.

In this way, he was beaten again and dragged for a while, when he heard a very rough voice, "Someone is coming, run quickly."

Only then did Luo Dagen feel the punches and kicks on his body stop, and the sound of several people running away was heard again. When he lifted the sack on his head, they had already disappeared without a trace, and he didn't even see their backs .

Luo Dagen lay curled up on the ground for a while, and then slowly got up and walked back enduring the pain in his body. At this moment, he had no courage, and just wanted to go home quickly and save up the money.

The three of Tao Qi ran away early and disappeared without a trace, even the voice of shouting just now was pretended by him, and he was not worried about being found.

After the beating, Tao Qi felt at ease, went home with his two brothers, washed up, and fell asleep.

And Luo Dagen was continuing to walk forward, the alley was too far away, it was pitch black, and the moon was not full today, so he couldn't see anything clearly in the alley. The sound of footsteps, another sack was put on his head, this man's fist was even more ruthless, and he hit him on the head with a punch, which made him a big man dizzy, wanted to open his mouth, but was hit by another punch On the nose, seeing that he couldn't resist, the man began to grab his money.

Luo Dagen struggled vigorously. Seeing that he was still resisting, the man raised his foot and kicked him on the calf with all his strength. There was only a click, and Luo Dagen let out a scream, and the strength in his hands relaxed. , The silver in the sleeve was immediately snatched away.

The man took the money and ran away.

Luo Dagen was beaten on the head and his leg was broken. He broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain. He wanted to realize that he was very dizzy and couldn't exert any strength.

Someone passed by in the morning, found Luo Dagen, and helped to report to the police.

Luo Dagen cried to the county magistrate in the government office and told the county magistrate that he had collected the bill last night, but two groups of people wanted to rob him, and he was beaten twice, begging the county magistrate to make decisions for him.

County magistrate Yang still remembered this person, and even knew what happened to the Luo family recently.

However, Yuanbao town had a female thief who cheated on the marriage, and a male thief who robbed. This case still needs to be investigated, so Luo Dagen can only be sent back first.

Luo Dagen was sent back to Osmanthus Alley by the yamen servants, and found that there was an old woman lying in the Luo family, all of them looked strange, thinking that the Luo family might have really suffered retribution, both mother and son wanted to sell their granddaughter to such a place, Now that both of them have broken legs, they can only lie at home. I am afraid that in the future, this family can only rely on old man Luo, which will be the real difficulty.

The yamen servant sent the man back and left.

When old man Luo came back in the evening, he found his son lying on the bed. He heard that he was injured last night when someone robbed him of his money and even broke his leg.

Old man Luo didn't think there was anything wrong after he beat the old woman stupidly. Now that his son has also broken his leg, he may not be able to continue to be a shopkeeper even if his leg is healed. He has to take care of two people alone, so he feels The sky is falling.

Moreover, Luo Dagen is his son, he does not prescribe medicine for Mrs. Luo, but he cannot ignore his son's life or death.

He is such a son.

But the family's more than 40 taels of silver were taken away, and the more than 20 taels of silver that his son asked for from Mrs. Lin was taken away. He had no choice but to go to Mrs. Lin to make trouble. Mrs. Lin has nothing to do with their family. Well, if the Lin family reported to the officials, he would have to be arrested and sent to the Yamen to beat him.

Old man Luo doesn't know what to do now.

Inside the room, his son was still wailing in pain, "Father, please go and get me a doctor, my leg is going to hurt like hell."

But where old man Luo has money to hire a doctor for his son, he only has ten coins on his body, and where is he enough money to hire a doctor for his son.

The old man Luo was helpless, looked at the yard where he had lived for more than twenty years, and had other thoughts in his mind.

Now the son is injured and his leg is broken, and the old woman is also stupid. There is still a donkey cart at home, and the donkey cart cannot be sold. Sell ​​the house at the head of the family. After the house is sold, he takes his son and his wife to settle down in the village of his hometown. The money from selling the house is enough to heal his son's leg. The houses in the village are still cheap, so he bought a house to live in first... …

Otherwise, if he stayed in the town, he really couldn't afford the money, and he couldn't even borrow money from the neighbors around him.

Because of Mrs. Luo, the Luo family's popularity in Osmanthus Alley is very poor.

Old man Luo went to the dental shop, it must be very difficult to sell this yard immediately, so he could only sell it to the dental shop, which was seven or eight taels cheaper than the market price, and sold to the dental shop at a price of sixty-five taels of silver.

The dental dealer was also reasonable, paid the money, got the house deed, and gave old man Luo a few days to move out.

When the old man returned home, he told his son to sell the yard and planned to return to his hometown to earn a living.

No matter how unwilling Luo Dagen was, there was nothing he could do. When he was healthy, Mrs. Lin was not afraid of him. Now that his leg is broken, Mrs. Lin is even more afraid of him. Now the family of three can only go back to the village of his hometown.

Old man Luo took the money, first hired a doctor for his son, and after the doctor was hired, he used a donkey cart to carry his luggage back and forth to his hometown.

His hometown is a little far from Yuanbao Town, and it takes almost a day to go back and forth.

...

Not to mention that the Luo family sold their house and moved away from Yuanbao Town.

Xu Qinyu went back to the house in Laixi Lane that day. As soon as he entered, he saw a big change in the courtyard. A wooden frame was built, and there were some seedlings of flowers and plants. Some were planted in flowerpots, and some were directly planted in the row below the corridor. , Look at the flowers and plants, when they grow up, the yard will be full of flowers and plants, they are very beautiful and quiet.

Bai Yu and Mo Yuding also like it very much.

The oil lamp in the kitchen was still on, Xu Qinyu went into the kitchen and saw that it was the Fourth Brother, Sister Ning, Sister Xian and Brother Feng.

Hot water is boiling on the stove.

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "Fourth brother, did you make the outside of the yard?"

She just chatted with the fourth brother, and the fourth brother remembered it, and even bought the seeds and made them right.

Sister Ning said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, fourth brother also plans to build a wooden pavilion in the open space next to the grape trellis, so that you can stay inside to drink tea and enjoy the flowers when resting on weekdays."

Xu Qinyu's eyes lit up.

When she was taking a rest on weekdays, she could lie down in the wooden pavilion and look at the flowers and plants, which couldn't be more comfortable.

Xu Qinyu didn't thank the fourth brother either. They were all family. The fourth brother treated her well, and she would also treat the Pei family well.

"Fourth brother, you are really capable!" But Xu Qinyu couldn't help but praise Pei Weixuan.

Can even do wood work.

Pei Weixuan glanced at Yu Niang helplessly and said, "Does Yu Niang still want to plant some other fruit trees in the back room? There are still a lot of open spaces there."

Xu Qinyu thought for a while, "Why don't you buy a few grape seedlings and plant grapes on the courtyard wall on the back of the house."

The grapes are delicious, but they have not yet sold for money. The other fruits grown here are pears and red dates, which are more common here. It is better to continue to grow grapes.

"Okay, then I'll buy a few more grape seedlings tomorrow."

Not long after, Mr. Wen also came back.

The whole family gathered in the kitchen, waiting to boil water to wash.

Seeing that his family was there, Pei Weixuan said: "In a few days, I should also go out with the caravan. Those glazed jewelry and glazed handicrafts collected from overseas need to be shipped to other rich prefectures for sale, so I also have to go out with the caravan. Go with the caravan."

When Wen Shi heard the words, he became worried, "This trip won't be back for more than a year, right?"

"Don't worry, mother." Pei Weixuan said, "This trip should be back in three months."

Before leaving this trip, he will arrange the family head, and he will find a few secret guards to stay here to protect him, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Wen Shi was relieved.

Pei Weixuan briefly explained, saying that these things about Liuli should not have anything to do with him, even if he is just a thug who escorts the goods in the caravan.

Wen Shi, Ning Jie'er and Xu Qinyu naturally wouldn't talk nonsense.

Sister Qian is even more incapable, she doesn't like to talk.

The hot water was quickly boiled, and the family went to sleep after washing up.

The next day, in the evening, Xu Qinyu heard that Luo Dagen was beaten twice by the thieves when he returned from North Street last night, and his money was stolen.

It was Mrs. Chen who said it to Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Lin.

Chen lived in Osmanthus Lane, and now everyone in Osmanthus Lane knew that the Luo family had suffered retribution, both mother and son had their legs broken, and the old man Luo sold the house.

After Chen Shi finished speaking, he patted Lin Shi's hand, "In the future, Sister Lin will not have to worry about the Luo family coming to make trouble. Today, old man Luo invited Luo Dagen to a Langzhong, and some people secretly asked him about Luo Dagen's legs. The injury is bad, and even if it is healed in the future, the leg will not be able to use strength. You have to use a cane to walk. You are completely useless! Let's live a good life in the future, save money to buy a house earlier!"

Lin's eyes were red when she heard it, so naturally she wasn't sad. She didn't have any worries about Luo Dagen's broken leg, but she was full of joy.

She was just so excited that she wanted to cry.
