Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 49 The Journey to Prison
The light in the county government prison was very dim, the air was very turbid, and the musty smell was mixed with various odors, making people almost nauseous.

Xiao Chenyu followed the clerk and the prison chief, feeling fear in his heart, a common people's fear of rights; here life and death depended on fate, and beating and scolding were common.

Cries came from deep in the cell, adding a sense of terror and chill to this gloomy place.

Fortunately, he arrived at the door of a cell not long after walking. Across the cell, he could see about a dozen women of various ages crowded inside. Xiao Chenyu saw the woman holding a child at a glance, and she just looked up in horror. To Xiao Chenyu and his party.

The clerk pointed at the ant-like people inside and said casually: "Which one does Young Master Xiao like?"

Xiao Chenyu put his hands behind his back and pretended to be dissatisfied and corrected: "It's not me who likes it, it's my father-in-law who likes it. Please don't make a mistake, sir."

The clerk laughed in his heart, but nodded in agreement on his face.

After making enough gestures, Xiao Chenyu was unwilling to delay any longer, so he pointed at the woman holding the child and said, "It's just them and their son."

The clerk was stunned and asked: "Master Xiao said he wanted two people, does that include the child? Why does Master Xiao want a child? He can't work and needs someone to take care of him."

Xiao Chenyu frowned: "My father-in-law said that he doesn't want to see other people's mothers and children separated. Bringing the children can also make the mother feel better."

The clerk immediately understood that this was done willingly. These people really knew how to play.

When the woman was pulled out, in addition to fear, there was more anger, hatred, and madness in her eyes.

The clerk and the prison boss had seen such looks many times, but they were not afraid of her at all. The prison boss raised his whip and wanted to give her a whip, but Xiao Chenyu quickly stopped him with his quick eyes and hands: "Hey, hey, you hurt someone, if there are any wounds on your body, I have a scar, how can I explain it?"

The prison boss quickly put away his braids and smiled flatteringly: "Master, please don't be angry. I'm just trying to scare her. Master, you don't know. This woman is very fierce. She can't be suppressed without a little force."

The woman held her son in her arms and bit her lower lip, looking at the people warily, her whole body tense and trembling slightly.

"Don't be afraid, I was entrusted by someone to take you out." Seeing her like this, Xiao Chenyu comforted her gently.

However, it is obvious that women cannot think carefully and believe Xiao Chenyu's words.

Of course, this is not important, because she has no choice. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire in front of her, or Abi Hell, she has no choice.

Xiao Chenyu walked out of the cell silently with the child in his arms, and waited for a while before getting the contract of sale of the mother and son.

Walking out of the gate of the county prison, there was a back street. Liu Xi and Xiao Hanyang were bickering. When they saw Xiao Chenyu leading a woman out, they hurriedly stopped the "fight" and came over.

Xiao Chenyu's face turned pale after he came out, and he said to the two of them: "Get out of here quickly. Where is the carriage I asked you to rent?"

Liu Xi pointed across the street: "Wait there, the carriage driver doesn't want to get too close to here, saying he's afraid of getting into bad luck."

"It's really bad luck. Let's go and talk about it when we get back." Xiao Chenyu led a few people to the carriage with a sullen face and asked the woman to get in and sit down. The few people just followed the car and did not follow them into the car, which made the woman relax a little. Some, she leaned against the car wall and looked down at the sleeping child, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Her son has had a high fever for two days, and today he can no longer even cry.If the child was gone, she probably wouldn't be able to survive.

The carriage staggered to the inn. Xiao Chenyu lifted the curtain and said to the woman, "We're here, get off the car." Xiao Chenyu was cold and indifferent to the woman but not rude, which made the woman's panic a little less.

"Hey, what is this?" He was stopped by the waiter at the door, staring at the disheveled woman and frowning.

"My newly bought slave, why is he not allowed in?" Xiao Chenyu asked with a low face. When he saw the other slave retreating, he ordered: "Open another room for us, and prepare hot water for bathing and food to be delivered to the room. inside."

Then he led a group of people upstairs, suddenly paused, turned around and looked at Xiao Hanyang: "What are you still doing? Go back quickly, and ask for leave for me by the way. I will go back after I finish handling my family affairs."

Xiao Hanyang didn't want to leave, not because he wanted to take a look at Qin Xiang, but because he was curious, who is this woman?Does your uncle want to be a concubine when he brings her back, or does he want to do something else?

However, he could tell that Xiao Chenyu was in a bad mood, so he wisely left.

Xiao Chenyu asked the woman to wait at the door of the house, and then called Qin Xiang to come out.

Qin Xiang and the woman looked at each other in confusion as soon as they came out. The woman's eyes suddenly turned from dead silence to astonishment. Then she seemed to understand something and asked in a hoarse voice with trembling lips: "But, my wife bought me?"

"Well, you go and take a rest first before talking about anything else." Qin Xi nodded and said.

Then he said to Liu Xi: "Go to the clothing store on the street and buy two sets of women's clothes and give them to her, and buy two sets of clothes for the children as well."

Liu Xi took the money and ran out in a hurry. The woman knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Xiang, but she didn't say anything. She just kowtowed three times in a row, and her forehead was bruised.

Qin Xiang didn't say much and accepted the three ringings calmly. She understood the woman's current mood very well. It was the feeling of finally seeing a glimmer of light.

The woman carried the child and went to the next room, which happened to be the room where Su and Aunt Sang had stayed before.

Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu returned to the house, and Xiao Chenyu also asked the waiter to fetch water for bathing. He always felt that there was a prison smell on his body.

He sat in the tub and took a bath while telling Qin Xiang what happened in detail. When Qin Xiang heard that he used Qin Xiongfei's name, she didn't disagree at all. Instead, she thought Xiao Chenyu was quite smart and not rigid.

"If you say this, you will be criticized for being a person who clings to power. It will not be good for your reputation." Qin Xiang felt a little guilty and took the initiative to go over and help wipe his back.

Xiao Chenyu was very happy about Qin Xiang's initiative. He closed his eyes and enjoyed his wife's service, and said: "It doesn't matter, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Who can predict our future."

After saying that, he fell silent, thinking of the scene in prison in his mind. He couldn't imagine how he would deal with himself if he was in it, or if Qin Xiang was in it.
Have any of the people there really committed a crime?Of course there are, but there are also many innocent people.

Who can guarantee that they will never encounter that day?
He reached out and held Qin Xiang's hand, looked at Qin Xiang and said: "I was in the cell and I was very scared. If you tell me, you may think I am useless and timid, but I really wanted to escape from there at that time. .”

How could Qin Xi not understand?She once stayed in prison for more than ten days, and those dark days still make Qin Xiang tremble and fear.

"Don't worry, we should be more careful, and there will definitely be such a day." Qin Xi patted Xiao Chenyu's arm, not to comfort, but as firmly as a vow, telling him and herself that it would never happen again. days.
