This is somewhat different from what An Hongshao was thinking.

She thought that the Wang family's wife should be a dignified woman, and her appearance had nothing to do with being dignified.

An Hongshao thought about saying hello, but who would have thought that when these women saw the Wang family's wife, they all showed disgusting expressions, and even pulled An Hongshao aside and refused to say hello to the Wang family's wife.

An Hongshao was a little confused, but she didn't say anything. She just pretended to do laundry and quietly observed the Wang family's wife.

She looks great at her job.

There were a lot of mosquitoes in autumn, and the cicada was afraid of biting An Hongshao. Although he brought an insect repellent sachet, it was not safe, so he took the opportunity to drag An Hongshao away.

The people below just inquired about the place, but did not explain what the situation was. An Hongshao just came over to take a look today and then returned to the city.

Because everyone in the banker knew him, it would be too conspicuous for him to be a foreigner, especially if he asked questions, which would make people suspicious, so I found out what he looked like and didn't check the rest.

Early the next morning, An Hongshao went to Zhuangzi again.

The men went to the fields early, and the women went to the river to wash their clothes. The village was very quiet. This time An Hongshao went directly to the door of Wang's house.

She thought about shouting, but unexpectedly, she saw a man with a strange face coming out. She looked at him holding up his pants as he walked, and she knew what happened as soon as she thought about it.

But looking at that face, it must not be the husband of the Wang family.

An Hongshao's heart suddenly raised. Could it be that something happened to the Wang family's wife? Just looking at the way the man swaggered out, something seemed different. An Hongshao originally wanted to move forward, but stopped at this time.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the Wang family's wife came out of the back room, still wearing yesterday's clothes, her hair untied and all loose.

Holding the bamboo basket in her hand, after seeing An Hongshao outside the fence, the Wang family woman walked over and said, "Hey, a stranger."

Although An Hongshao was wearing coarse clothes, he stood out in front of the village women. At first glance, An Hongshao was the only one who noticed.

Before An Hongshao could speak, the Wang family's wife laughed and said, "Let me guess, are you looking for my husband?"

Then, he shouted to Xiao Nanfang, "The master is looking for me."

Soon, a man with a slovenly beard walked out of it. His sleeves seemed a bit too long as he walked.

Thinking about it, according to what An Hongshao found, his hands were gone, so he had to use his sleeves to block it.

However, that man obviously came to have something to do with the Wang family's wife, how could he endure it at home?
  Wang Jialangjun called Wang Zhou, came over to take a look, and then shook his head, "I don't recognize him."

"Outlander, let's go quickly." Madam Wang waved her hand and turned to go to the broom. She looked about to start working and just murmured to herself, "No one has been here for many years. I didn't expect to find this."

"Master Wang." An Hongshao said tentatively.

Wang Zhou paused and stood in the yard as if reminiscing about something. Then he shook his head and said, "I don't recognize you, and I don't want to recognize you."

An Hongshao pushed open the fence door and walked straight in.

Jin Chan quickly followed behind, and the guards they brought with them also cheered up in the dark.

"Why can't you two foreigners understand the language? Go away quickly." Madam Wang greeted people with a broom.

An Hongshao stood there without moving, "You are living a miserable life, don't you want to change?"

After hearing An Hongshao's words, Wang Zhou seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly raised his voice, "Get out, get out!" Mrs. Wang threw the broom and hurried to protect Wang Zhou, looking at the deep affection between the couple.

An Hongshao asked Jin Chan to take a bag of silver and put it on the doorstep, then said nothing.

Mrs. Wang glanced at him and said nothing. However, she did not chase An Hongshao away. She waited until Wang Zhou was coaxed and sent him to the south room.

"Outlander, it's not easy for me to see you two being women, so I'm just going to tell you a few more words. Life is stable now, and we don't want any changes." Madam Wang came out and explained to An Hongshao in a low voice.

If a man came looking for him, Mrs. Wang's broom would have already greeted him.

An Hongshao raised her hand to signal to the room. When she entered the room, she realized how poor she was. The main room was covered with mattresses, but other than that, there was nothing else.

There were two copper plates placed next to the bed. Thinking of the person who just walked out, An Hongshao felt uncomfortable standing there.

The mattress was not folded and was in a mess, which showed how intense it was just now.

An Hongshao tilted his head, "Of course I know about Master Wang's situation, and I also heard about what happened back then, but as long as I'm here, the tragedy will never happen again."

This Wang Zhou was once well-known and was a rare good carpenter. The gadgets he made were so exquisite that he even alarmed the capital and wanted to join the Ministry of Industry.

However, he injured his hands on the road. Without his hands, the carpenter is a useless person. No matter how prosperous he was at the beginning, he will be so decadent and sad when his hands are useless.

There must be some other reason for this. Wang Zhou was a celebrity at the time, and the local government was also paying attention to the matter. Only then did they find out that someone had bribed the robbers specifically to kill Wang Zhou.

The person who harmed him has been imprisoned, but Wang Zhou's life is ruined.

Later, some people also came to be apprentices, but the people who came to be apprentices were all children from poor families. After they came, they talked well and just talked about it. However, in the carpentry industry, you can't really rely on hands-on skills. You can't tell them anything with your mouth. Those who are good will leave decadently, while those who are bad will directly speak evil words to them.

Those people told Wang Zhou over and over again that he was a useless person.

Although life is hard now, no one comes to visit, so it is quite peaceful.

"Mrs. Wang, my family is in the wood trading business. It is different from ordinary apprentices. They have never done carpentry work and have no entry-level knowledge. They can't just give guidance. But I am different. I am just learning. Those who are skilled in craftsmanship." An Hongshao made the words clear directly.

Madam Wang looked at someone who could calm down at this moment, so she could naturally listen to An Hongshao's words.

Madam Wang bit her lip as if thinking, "You said you are a businessman, but you are a businessman. Who knows what you want to deceive my husband about?"

Those who dislike goods are the ones who buy them. The constant coming and going shows that this means, "Then I will put the ugly words here. What do you think I can do against you in your family?"

The money that An Hongshao just put on the doorstep can buy these two lives.

An Hongshao paused and continued, "I heard that you have a child who is studying. If you nod, I can recommend this child to take the imperial examination."

Taixue is not a place that ordinary people can enter. You must have real knowledge.

However, even if the children below have real knowledge, they are not even qualified to take the exam without background.

As long as you can enter the Imperial Academy, even if you are the last one, you will have more experience than in this remote place.

Poor parents in the world, no one can hesitate when it comes to their children. (End of chapter)
