Chapter 27 The Three Tigers are coming!
In the east of the city, the king's room.

Many maidservants are busy preparing dinner for the Wang family.

The Wang family is a big family.

It is not an easy job to prepare meals for hundreds of people.

The cook "Grandma Li" served a young master of the master's family in the early years.

Although her appearance was slightly inferior, she was not taken into the house by the young master, but because of her good cooking, she was arranged by the master to live in the kitchen.

Became the steward of the kitchen.

This room seems to be busy and dirty all day long.

However, this is a fat job.

At this moment, Granny Li was holding a thorn twig, urging the servants to do things.

"Hurry up, be quick, today is the master's banquet for distinguished guests. Whoever dares to be lazy, the old lady will not be polite!"

Granny Li held a wattle and cursed everywhere.

When some servant girls were slow in their hands and feet, she was even more merciless, and went straight down with a thorn, causing the servant servants to be extremely painful.

Granny Li turned her gaze.

She saw a "strong" figure not far away.

Granny Li frowned, and she walked up quickly.

"Snapped".

Granny Li went straight down with a thorn stick, and it fell into Shi Lian's hand.

"Shi Lian, you are so strong, but your hands and feet are very slow."

"Hmph, it's not so easy to come to my Wang's house to do something."

"Seeing that you have even gained weight recently, maybe you have been stealing food again."

Shi Lian stood up abruptly.

She stood up, almost half a body taller than Granny Li.

Condescending, staring at Granny Li.

Granny Li's heart trembled.

She was really afraid of Shi Lian, but she hated Shi Lian even more.

Because, the last time Shi Lian inadvertently talked about the purchase of kitchens.

As a result, the housekeeper came to check the accounts, and Granny Li made up some money out of her own pocket, and then passed the customs smoothly.

That's not a small amount.

Although Shi Lian didn't mean it, Granny Li has since hated Shi Lian and found fault with her from time to time.

"Why, do you still dare to fight back?"

Granny Li scolded sharply.

Although Shi Lian was furious, she did not lose her mind.

So, he squatted down again.

Put your hands into the cold water and quickly wash the dishes.

It's winter now.

It was cold and there was even frost outside.

Shi Lian already had frostbite on her hands, which looked red and swollen like pig's feet.

There are even some festering, very hideous and terrifying.

This is Granny Li deliberately making things difficult.

Leaving the hardest and dirtiest work to Shi Lian.

"Humph."

"A maidservant must have the awareness of a maidservant."

"If you can't finish washing these dishes today, don't eat."

Shi Lian didn't speak, but silently washed the dishes.

Seeing Shi Lian's silence, Granny Li was very proud, and continued to "inspect" the kitchen leisurely.

Shi Lian's hands were cold.

Even numb.

Fresh blood flowed out from the festering wound, but Shi Lian didn't care.

I don't know how long it took.

Shi Lian was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and finally finished washing the dishes.

However, when she was about to eat, she was told that all the food had been thrown away by Granny Li.

There is no meal for her today.

Shi Lian was furious.

"Old man, I will kill you one day!"

Shi Lian clenched her fists.

"Gululu".

But now Shi Lian is very hungry.

She had to find a way to find something to eat.

Otherwise, the night will be difficult.

At this time, Shi Lian saw the tree outside the kitchen.

There seemed to be a furtive figure.

"Who?"

Shi Lian picked up a wooden stick casually and immediately became vigilant.

"Shi Lian, it's...it's me."

Under the tree, a skinny man in a shabby cotton coat slowly came out.

The man was carrying a food box with a shy smile on his face.

"Zhou Yuan, what are you doing here?"

Shi Lian frowned.

Obviously, she didn't have a good impression of Zhou Yuan.

"I help the kitchen in the kitchen, and I know that Granny Li is playing tricks, so you have no food to eat."

"So, let me bring you food."

"Come on, here it is."

Zhou Yuan handed over the food box.

Shi Lian opened the food box suspiciously.

There is indeed rice in it.

However, she also knew about Zhou Yuan's situation.

Zhou Yuan is not a servant of the Wang family, but a day laborer.

This part-time worker is actually worse than a servant.

At least the servants don't have to go hungry, but day laborers are different.

If there is no work, then there is starvation.

Where does Zhou Yuan have money to buy food?

What's more, I didn't feel touched by the meal, it looked like the meal in the kitchen.

"This is the meal given to you by the kitchen, you didn't eat it?"

Shi Lian asked.

Zhou Yuan patted his head, looked at Shi Lian tenderly, and said with a smile: "I still have something to eat when I go back, so you can eat first. Besides, you have a big belly, so you can't do without food."

Zhou Yuan was thin and short, and Shi Lian stood up two heads taller than Zhou Yuan.

Seeing Shi Lian approaching, Zhou Yuan didn't dare to approach, and quickly backed away.

"Tamp the goods."

Shi Lian shook her head.

She is not stupid either.

Since Zhou Yuan met her this week, he has been approaching her from time to time.

Moreover, Zhou Yuan looked at her differently.

It's just that Shi Lian can't look down on such a skinny monkey as Zhou Yuan.

However, Zhou Yuan's concern still made Shi Lian a little happy.

"Tamper, come here."

Shi Lian beckoned, Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still came over.

Shi Lian grabbed Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was startled and wanted to struggle, but he couldn't break free from Shi Lian's hand.

"Don't move, I have something to do with you."

"That dead old woman is staring at me all day, and I can't go out now."

"I have something here, you can help me deliver it to my house, to my sister or brother."

Shi Lian searched in the kitchen for a while.

Take out a rag.

There are some snacks in it, all of which have been eaten or dropped on the floor, looking dirty.

However, she also picked them up and saved them, since the weather is cold anyway, so it won't stink.

In the past, she took it home by herself, but now, she can't get out, so she can only give it to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan is a part-time worker, so he can naturally leave the Wang family.

"Shi Lian, leave it to me, I will definitely send it to Shi's house."

Zhou Yuan patted his chest and said.

He also didn't ask why Shi Lian didn't eat these snacks even when she was hungry.

He also has family members, so he knows Shi Lian's thoughts very well.

As long as I don't starve to death, I have to leave a stutter for my family no matter what.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Yuan took the snack.

He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he abruptly dropped an old hairpin on the ground.

Then he ran back violently.

"Shi Lian, this is my mother's hairpin. I give it to you."

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he ran away.

When Shi Lian wanted to say something more, Zhou Yuan had disappeared.

“What a bargain”

Shi Lian cursed with a smile.

Looking at the hairpin on the ground, for some reason, Shi Lian seemed to have a touch in her heart.

She picked up the hairpin, held it tightly in her hand, and did not speak for a long time.

Holding the snacks, Zhou Yuan hurried towards Shi's house.

Soon, Zhou Yuan saw the Shi family.

He has been paying attention to Shi Lian for a long time.

Of course, Shi Lian's family has been "found out" for a long time.

It's just that I haven't dared to show up.

He knew that Shi Lian had a younger sister who was always at home.

Zhou Yuan was about to knock on the door.

Suddenly, he saw a few men with big arms, round waists and fierce looks walking towards Shi's house in the distance.

He was startled.

Zhou Yuan recognized the outfits of these people at a glance.

This is a member of the Three Tigers!
But, how did the members of the Three Tigers get here?

Moreover, it seems that he went to Shi's house.

Zhou Yuan was a little scared, and immediately retreated to the corner of the street.
