Marrying into a poor family

After listening to Xiao Chenyu's instructions, Xiao Lian bowed and left.

However, Monk Su Laoer was still confused and confused.

His slow-moving brain slowly started to work: Could it be that the threat worked?

Didn't he say that he was going to be imprisoned by the government before? Why was he so attentive to him after he came back from a trip?

However, what is certain is that both Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xiang are afraid of him. Does this mean that there is really a problem with Xiao Chenyu's reputation as a civil servant?

Thinking of this, Su Laoer looked at Xiao Chenyu with excitement and contempt.

At the end of the day, Su Laoer's thoughts finally settled on one point: Can I live here forever? Can I get whatever I want? Is this world-shattering wealth all mine?

Su Lao Er has never seen such an exquisite and gorgeous courtyard. There are hot coals burning in the room, the mattresses and quilts are all silk and satin quilts, and there are five or six people waiting in the yard. The only thing that makes Su Lao Er dissatisfied is : "Why are the servants taking care of me? I think your maid is pretty good, so I'd better switch to a maid to take care of me."

Xiao Lian crossed his arms and said with a half-smile: "Second uncle, please don't be picky. You know, my wife wanted to kick you out directly, but now you are still being treated like this." I have to arrange it for you.”

After saying that, he leaned over and said: "Second uncle, if you say you want a woman, you can go out and look for her. When the time comes, ask the second master to give her the money. The second master will not refuse to give it to her."

After saying that, he smiled ingratiatingly and beat his legs, which seemed like he was asking for help.

Su Laoer glanced sideways at Xiao Lian: "What's your name?"

Xiao Lian smiled and said: "Xiao Qi, now everyone calls me Xiao Lian. Hehe, my second uncle can just call me Xiao Qi."

"What do you mean?" Su Laoer wanted to hear more about this family and hurriedly asked.

"My second uncle doesn't recognize me, but I do. When you opened the teahouse, I often eavesdropped on your storyteller outside. Sometimes, you even gave us beggars some food. Therefore, I am extremely grateful and admired to my second uncle."

When "you" said this, Su Laoer thought of that thin but extremely flexible and clever little beggar. Every time he came to listen to books, he couldn't drive him away. If he was rushed by the front door, he would run to the back door, and if he was chased by the back door, he would rush to the front door.

In short, Cha Cha has many things to do to drive people away, but he can't think of giving them something to eat.

However, no matter how he thought about it, he could not connect that annoying little beggar with the current boy with a rosy face and piercing eyes.

"Then why did you come here? And your surname is Xiao?" Probably because of the relationship between them all being from Fushui Town, Su Laoer smiled more at Xiao Lian and became less wary unconsciously.

"It's a long story, and there's nothing I can do about it!" Next, Xiao Lian told a bitter story that would make anyone who hears it cry.

Xiaoqi was an orphan, who barely managed to survive for more than ten years without being hungry and well-fed. Later, he used his clever skills to sneak into the escort agency. Unexpectedly, the agency was disbanded as soon as he entered.

He was sold to the Xiao family by the escort agency.

"I'm used to freedom. How can I want to live like a servant who seems to have enough food and clothing, but actually loses my freedom!"

Su Laoer nodded in agreement. It was indeed the case. This boy obviously had some ability to avoid starving to death. But now he can't even ask for his name, and he still has to take the Xiao family name, which is simply bullying.

"Second uncle, don't talk about my business anymore. When the doctor comes to see you, shall I go play with my second uncle? This Qijiang County is not as rich as Fushui Town. There are lots of fun things!"

Su Laoer's eyes immediately gleamed, and he kept urging him to see if the doctor was here.

The doctor is here, but he is not a famous doctor, just a small doctor from a small medical clinic outside.

However, Su Laoer's head didn't have much of a problem, it was just a scratch on his head. That night, Su Laoer slept in the fireworks pavilion and did not come out the next day or the third day.

On the fourth day, Su Laoer finally couldn't hold his body any longer and offered to leave.

When I left, my steps were shaky and I almost couldn't stand still.

Xiao Lian followed behind and sneered again and again. When he got on the carriage, another servant of the Xiao family asked Xiao Lian in a low voice: "Is our uncle really going to sleep with a woman? Why doesn't it look like he is enjoying himself? Instead, it seems like you’ve suffered a crime?”

It is easy for wealth, sex, and alcohol to drain a person. Xiao Lian just smiled and said softly: "Every day, there are two or three girls waiting on you without going out. Do you think you are enjoying it?"

The man was about to say he was envious, but the next moment he shook his head. He still understood the principle that going too far is not enough.

The carriage staggered to a stop, Xiao Lian straightened his face, opened the curtain and said: "Second uncle, we are here!"

Su Laoer got out of the car with his arms crossed. He thought he had arrived at Xiao's house, but it turned out not to be the case.

"Is this what it is?" Before Su Laoer finished his doubts, Xiao Lian smiled flatteringly and stepped forward to hold his hand, as attentive as he could be.

"Second uncle, since you have come out and someone is paying for you, why don't you come and have a good time? This is the most famous gambling house in the county. Many rich men, young masters and businessmen like to come here to relax."

When Su Laoer was in Fushui Town, he was willing to use money to lend money to gambling houses at high interest rates, but he did not gamble.

Because Su Laoer's hobby is saving money, he feels heartbroken even if he loses a small bet.

So he was not interested in it, but when he thought about someone giving him money, he would just play it. If he lost, it would be Xiao Chenyu's, and if he won, it would be his.

Such a hugely profitable deal is simply a good thing that only comes with high incense.

After entering, Su Laoer was unwilling to leave. Of course, this was also due to Xiao Lian. When he asked to leave, Xiao Lian would always advise him to have a good time.

In brothels and gambling houses, there are many people who know Xiao Lian, and they will naturally come to ask: "Xiao Lian, where is your second master? Why don't you see him coming out to play?"

Xiao Lian avoided Su Laoer every time and replied with a sad face: "Oh! Forget about mentioning it, the second master is very troubled now!"

After speaking, he looked at Su Laoer with meaning and sighed again.

When someone inquired carefully, Xiao Lian pretended to defend the second master and described Su Laoer as a heinous gangster who wanted to go to the county government to falsely accuse the second master without any evidence. The county magistrate knew the truth and sent the person to the Xiao family. , and asked the Xiao family to treat him well.

"This man used the words of the county magistrate as a token to threaten our second master and his wife. If he was not allowed to have fun, he went to the county government to file a complaint. He also said that he was going to lie and lie that our second master's job was obtained through fraud. Of. Alas!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard this: "Such a scoundrel deserves to be beaten with a stick, but he is still allowed to behave like this?"

Xiao Lian grimaced: "What else can our second master do? He is shameless, how can we, the second master, still be shameless and quarrel with him?"

Some people shook their heads: "Brother Xiao is really a scholar. To deal with such a scoundrel, you should throw him out."

At this moment, Su Laoer shouted at Xiao Lian across several tables: "Xiao Lian, hurry up and get me two hundred taels of silver, sir. I want to block the big one."
