Chapter 75

Ruda's pupils were shocked. This was obviously a place rented by his family, but why did an old woman come out?
He couldn't care what the old woman said, so he walked around the old woman and rushed into the house.

The old woman was horrified and stretched out her hand to hold Luda, but she was too old to have the strength. Even if she stretched out her hand, she could only touch Luda's sleeve.

Ruda pushed open the door and broke into the house.

The room was dimly lit and had a solid earth floor. There was only a low table, two low chairs and a dilapidated wooden bed.

Lying on the bed was a terminally ill old man.

Where is his wife and children!
Lu Da only felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and it seemed that the whole world collapsed for a while.

The old woman followed, fearful and angry, "Our old couple are poor people, our family is desolate, we have nothing! Please let us go!"

The old woman has already regarded Lu Da as a hooligan who runs rampant and specializes in robbery.

Lu Da came back to his senses, he turned around and stared at the old woman, "Auntie, when did you live here, do you know where the people who lived here before went?"

Seeing Ruda's nervous expression, the old woman frowned slightly, "We moved here half a month ago. This room was empty when we came here. I don't know who has lived here before."

what!
After hearing what the old woman said, Ruda became more and more anxious.

He turned around and left the dilapidated room, preparing to find the agent who rented the compound.

When he hurried out of the yard, he accidentally bumped into a person. With great strength, Lu Da staggered the person who passed by.

He subconsciously helped the person he bumped into, a man in his 40s.

The man in his 40s was helped by Ruda. When he saw Ruda's appearance, he was surprised and said, "Is your surname Lu?"

Luda frowned, stood up straight and nodded, "Brother, I just couldn't help myself. My surname is indeed Lu."

The man in his 40s was thin and tanned. He immediately smiled and said, "Why are you back at this time? Your wife and your son have moved to Sanliu Lane. They left half a month ago. Before leaving, Your wife told me that if my mother-in-law sees you coming back, she must tell you."

The dark and lean man was surnamed Huang, and his hometown was in a village outside Beijing. The couple ran a wonton stall and rented a hut in the courtyard to earn some money to support the family. They were well-known honest people in the courtyard.

Lu Da's beating heart was instantly soothed by these words, and he asked incredulously, "Brother Huang, are you serious?"

"There's nothing wrong with this. You'll be able to earn money if you're promising outside, and your wife and children will naturally be able to live a good life. Don't worry, I'll close the stall early today, and our husband and wife will take you to Sanliu Lane."

"Brother Huang, please." Lu Da gratefully saluted the man surnamed Huang.

The man surnamed Huang waved to him and told him to wait while he went home to clean up and called his mother-in-law.

Lu Da stood beside the gate of the courtyard in a daze, with so many things in his mind, he couldn't guess what happened. The eldest princess has been very busy in the past two months, and their personal guards couldn't leave her side at all.

Moreover, two months ago, their regular silver was withheld by the Gu family, and half a month later, Commander Xuan Cang reissued the missing money to them.So the money he had entrusted someone to bring to his wife was not much, which was enough for her to pay the rent of the courtyard and take medicine.

The man surnamed Huang moved very quickly and finished it in a quarter of an hour.

The couple led Ruda to Sanliu Lane.

Sanliu Lane is not close to this courtyard, the three of them walked for less than half an hour before arriving.

Although this is the West City, most of them are residential buildings, and the conditions are obviously much better than those near the courtyard. The three of them even passed by a school, and the sound of children reading neatly could be heard from the school.

The husband and wife surnamed Huang were full of joy, but Lu Da's brows became more and more wrinkled.

He knew that his wife had no money to live in this neighborhood.

The three of them soon arrived at a courtyard door. Sister-in-law Huang reached out and knocked on the courtyard door in a familiar manner. After a while, a very familiar voice from Luda responded crisply in the courtyard, "Here we come!"

The courtyard door opened, and the smiling face of Lu Da's wife appeared in the courtyard...

An hour and a half later, Lu Da held his son in his arms, and the couple personally sent Brother Huang and Mrs. Huang out of the yard. Lu Da's wife asked Mrs. Huang to bring some coarse grains to the old couple who used to live in their room in the courtyard. apologize.

After sending Brother Huang and his wife away, the couple could go back to the house to talk to each other. Just now, Luda's wife stayed with Brother Huang and his wife for dinner. There were many things that Luda couldn't ask, and he didn't have the chance until now.

"Wu Niang, what's going on, why did you move here with your son!" Lu Da asked anxiously.

The three-year-old son next to him was already asleep. Biruda had gained a lot of weight the last time he saw him. He couldn't help but touch his son's smooth and tender cheeks.

The child was reincarnated into their family, and he was afraid that he would only live a good life for half a month. There was no flesh on his face before.

Lu Da's wife smiled and didn't speak. She got up and went to the cabinet next to her to get a package.

She unwrapped the package and placed it in front of her husband. "It was sent by someone from the eldest princess's family. This yard was also rented to us by someone from the eldest princess's residence."

There were five taels of scattered silver and copper plates in the spread package, next to it was a piece of cotton cloth commonly used by ordinary people to make clothes, and there were also many compatible medicine bags.

"These are also sent by the people around Her Royal Highness?"

Wu Niang nodded with a smile, and talked to Lu Da about what happened half a month ago.

Half a month ago, the agent of the courtyard suddenly wanted to collect the rent half a month in advance. If he did not pay, he would be kicked out of the courtyard.

But her money has been used up to buy medicines and flowers, and she has to support her children with the little money left, so how can she make money for rent.

She begged the agent to delay it for half a month. As long as another half month passed, Lu Da would ask someone to send money to their mother and child.

But the manager couldn't wait any longer and told them to get out of the compound if they couldn't afford to live there.

In order to earn money, Wu Niang entrusted the child to Mrs. Huang to take care of at the wonton stall. She dragged her sick body to find a restaurant to wash the dishes, but her body couldn't bear the fatigue at all. After three days, she couldn't get up in the morning Come to bed.

Not only did I not earn a penny, but I also spent the rest of my money on seeing the doctor.

She has no money to buy food, so she can only rely on the leftover wontons sold at the stall of Brother Huang and his wife.

Within two days, the mother and son were kicked out.

She had no choice but to drag her sick body and son to the Gu Mansion, looking for her husband Ruda.

Unexpectedly, before he even got close to the gate of Gu's mansion, he was scolded and driven away by the evil slaves.

When mother and son were desperate, a girl found them.

The girl said that she was the maid beside the eldest princess.

Then the girl rented a yard for Wu Niang and her son, and gave Wu Niang and her son a package.

Hearing this, Lu Da quickly asked his wife, "Wu Niang, do you remember what this girl looks like?"

Wu Niang nodded, "How could I not remember my savior?"

Then Wu Niang described the girl's appearance: she looks upright, quick to do things, slightly dark, with a small mole under the corner of her eye.

Following Wu Niang's words, Ruimiao's appearance appeared in Luda's mind.

Lu Da is the captain of Qin Shuhuang's personal guard. He has seen the first maid and the second-class maid beside Qin Shuhuang. Rui Miao has only recently worked for Qin Shuhuang. It is said that he was transferred from Zhuangzi. It turned out that Huangzhuang, who was in charge of the princess, had darker skin than the other three maids, and there was a tear mole on the right cheek.

"It's Miss Ruimiao, the eldest maid beside the eldest princess."

Wu Niang's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Really? I still treat myself as someone else, and I've been feeling uneasy all this time!"

Lu Da suddenly felt sour and guilty. Before today, he had been complaining about His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Now that he heard what his wife said, if it wasn't for the Eldest Princess, he might not be able to see his wife and children today.

Wu Niang said with emotion: "You and I have been working in this prosperous capital for more than ten years. When you were working as a personal guard beside the emperor, we didn't have such a life. Although His Highness is a female, he is considerate of his subordinates. We should appreciate our kindness." grateful."

Ruda felt complicated because of his wife's words.

The wife suddenly smiled again and said, "Brother Da, do you see what's different about me today?"

A rugged man is most afraid of his wife asking this question. If he is not careful, he will give her a question. Ruda is no exception. He looked at his wife up and down with a stiff mouth, and finally said with uncertainty: "Change...change Fat?"

Immediately, his wife rolled her eyes, "Can you talk! It's because I haven't coughed all day!"

This has never happened since she got sick!
