After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 206 Beating People in the Street
What was embroidered was a screen, but now it is just fabric, and it will not be inlaid into the screen until all the work is completed.

After Chen Xingyan read it, he felt that the problem was not serious.

Regarding the wages, the lady gave a lot of land, first she gave 100 taels as a deposit, and when the things were ready, she gave 200 taels again.

To be honest, Chen Xingyan's income is quite a lot now. If it were someone else, it would not be short of 200 taels of silver.

But the problem is that she still needs a lot of jade, and it has to be good jade, and those defective ones are useless for her to buy.

The expenses are high, so the money has not been very saturated.

Now there is a business coming to your door, and it doesn't require her to work too hard, and she is good at it, so naturally she won't push it out.

Embroidery, especially this kind of high-end, is generally cumbersome.

Chen Xingyan was only responsible for embroidering the things, cleaning and ironing them, and then handing over to the other party to make the screens. If Chen Xingyan could do three hours a day, the work would be completed in a month at most.

This is a semi-finished product. If she needs to make a complete one, she will have to pay her at least 1000 taels before she will be willing to take up the job.

Too troublesome.

From the embroidery, Chen Xingyan could tell that it was not just one person's needlework, at least three people had worked hard on this embroidery.

It seems that this lady has also tried her best to please her mother-in-law.

Chen Xingyan went to Zhuangzi to check the relevant progress that day. Seeing that it was still early, he took Wang Shi to go around the town, thinking about buying something for the family.

"You bitch, how dare you run away! Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"

Chen Xingyan frowned, and turned his head to take a look: "Who is this man? Why did he hit a woman on the street?"

Chen Xingyan was standing in front of a grain store, wanting to buy some buckwheat noodles for cooking, Wang followed her gaze and said, "It looks familiar, I don't know whose family it is."

The shopkeeper craned his neck for a long time before saying: "That's Wan Tuhu, he has a violent temper, it should be his wife who provoked her again, that's why he was beaten."

Wang patted his forehead, and then remembered.

"I said it looks familiar, this is Lu Taohua!"

Chen Xingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, Lu Taohua?

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Lu Taohua is Lu Xinghua's younger sister. Back then, because Lu Xiaozhu wanted to study and the family couldn't afford it, the old lady sold Lu Taohua to a wealthy family in the town to be a maid. But later on, she didn't know what happened. Lu Taohua fell in love with Wan Tuhu again, and then went to the master's house to ask for a favor, and married him away.

By the way, Wan Tuhu wasn't a butcher back then, because he inadvertently helped his boss with a small favor and got to know Lu Taohua by accident, that's why he thought about it.

It's just that Lu Taohua has been married for more than ten years, and has never returned to her natal family, and the Lu family seems to rarely mention this married woman outside.

"Hey, this Wanbutcher's wife is also a pitiful person. She was sold to be a maid by her family since she was a child, and she finally redeemed herself, and met such a violent husband-in-law again, alas, it's also bad luck! "

Chen Xingyan frowned again and again, but he still held back his words.

Mrs. Wang took a step forward to take a closer look, nodded and said, "I'm not mistaken, it is indeed Lu Taohua, but I heard from that old sister-in-law that Lu Taohua married a wealthy family in the town, and she has no worries about food and drink, and lives a happy life." Okay, how did you get beaten up like this?"

Wang's relationship with that family is not good, and he hasn't seen Lu Taohua for more than ten years, so he can't say that he hates or likes her.

It's just emotionally unacceptable to see the girl from the Lu family being abused like this.

When Chen Xingyan was hesitating whether to step forward to help, he saw that Wan butcher seemed to be tired from the beating, and after cursing, he turned his head and left.

Looking at Lu Taohua who was thrown on the street, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were covered with dust and stains, and her exposed hands were covered with bruises. It can be seen that the butcher just now was merciless.

After Lu Taohua lay on the ground for a while, she slowly got up.

There were many people watching around, but no one dared to go up to help, which made Chen Xingyan very unhappy.

She wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by the shopkeeper.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. That butcher Wan is very domineering. He can beat and scold his wife, but no one else is allowed to touch her."

Chen Xingyan was stunned, and said with an incredulous expression, "Can't we both be women?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "The year before last, there was a woman who couldn't stand it, and helped her to say a few words. As a result, this lady Lu was beaten even more severely. Years ago, a little girl went to help her , The next day, this Wanbutcher went to block the door of others, and he was still holding a butcher's knife in his hand, do you think it's scary or not?"

No wonder so!
Chen Xingyan really wanted to imagine how Lu Taohua spent more than ten years with such a man.

"This Wan Butcher has always been like this?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "We don't know about that, it's only in the past few years that we know that Wan Tuhu did something to his wife. I've never seen it outside before. They are husband and wife. Close the door. What's going on at home? , how would we know?"

In other words, they have only seen Wan Tuhu beat his wife in the past two years, and they don't know whether he beat his wife before or not.

Chen Xingyan was in a sad mood, she didn't have any feelings for Lu Taohua, she just simply hated men who hit women.

On the way back, Mrs. Wang briefly told her about Lu Taohua.

"She's also a poor girl, she's only one year older than Lu Xiaozhu, look how old she is now!"

What Wang knew was all about Lu Taohua's past. As for what happened after she was sold to a wealthy family as a maid, she didn't know.

I only know that Mrs. Lu said that Lu Taohua was married before, and her husband's family is still well off, but Lu Taohua has never been back to Lu's Village for many years.

"Hey, it seems that I came back once, maybe at night. I heard your father once said that when he came down from the mountain with a few clansmen, he saw Lu Taohua coming out of Lu's house. At that time, Lu Taohua He left crying."

Chen Xingyan shook his head: "Forget it, it's all other people's business, and we can't help you. Mom, how many butchers are there in our town?"

"There are two in the town. There were three in the past. Later, the business of one family was not doing well, and it gradually stopped. Now there are only two families left. One is at the east end of the market and the other is at the west end. Who is it? It doesn't bother anyone."

Chen Xingyan only thought that meeting Lu Taohua this time was just a coincidence, and there was a high probability that there would be no more encounters in the future, but he didn't expect to see her again in just a few days.

And I met Lu Taohua at the Chen family in the county seat!
