On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 44 Fighting
  Wu also forgot that her previous excuse was to accompany Xiao Yougui to see the doctor. She was as loving as Xiao Xiu's own mother and said that she would follow Xiao Xiu so that they could go to the doctor with peace of mind.

After the two parties separated, Wu encouraged Wu Xiulian and Xiao Xiu to go to a noodle shop to eat shredded pork noodles.

After satiating my appetite, I went to the nearby grocery store to buy some needles and thread.

"It smells so good!" Wu Xiulian followed the scent and saw the pastry shop, and quickly pulled Xiao Xiu in with her: "Let's go buy some pastries!"

After entering the shop, Mrs. Wu's eyes were glued to the delicate and small pastries, and she took a few mouthfuls of the sweet and fragrant pastries. She only wished that her eyes were not her mouth, otherwise she would have to swallow hard now.

Wu Xiulian had not eaten snacks for a long time, and she was greedy. She ordered several snacks: "Mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, peach cake, and rice cake. Give me two kilograms of each."

"Okay, wait a moment, miss!" The fat middle-aged woman, who I guessed was the shopkeeper, quickly weighed the snacks she asked for, wrapped them in oil paper, and tied them with a thin rope before handing them over. She said: "Chenghui, a total of five hundred and twelve coins."

The price is not cheap, it is more than half more expensive than before.

Even Wu Xiulian felt distressed and started to counter-offer: "I bought so much, why don't you just give me the change? It's only half a tael of silver!"

The shopkeeper's wife is obviously stingy, and the smile on her face has disappeared: "Girl, we are also a small business, and we will give you two pennies less at most."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she quickly stepped forward and reasoned: "Do you know how to do business? If you don't wipe out these twelve coins, we won't buy it."

She was willing to come forward because it was Miss Wu who paid for the shredded pork noodles earlier.

She had a wishful thinking in her mind, and now she was bargaining for her. Miss Wu would be embarrassed not to treat her to cakes later.

While the shopkeeper's wife was still hesitating, another woman walked in from outside and stared at Mrs. Wu with a look of disgust on her face: "You can't bear to part with this little money, you poor man."

He rolled his eyes again and said, "How dare a beggar come in?"

The main reason was that Xiao Xiu and the others didn't take a shower or change clothes, they just washed their faces and came out.

Therefore, in addition to Wu Xiulian wearing a bun and a light blue cross-collar dress, which looked neater, Xiao Xiu and Wu's clothes were still patched.

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she exploded. She stepped forward and pointed at the person's nose and cursed: "What did you say? Are you looking for a beating? You slave!"

Now is not the time when I am poor and proud.

Most people respect Luo Yi first and then others.

Wu dared to be so arrogant because she was alone, wearing a fine cloth dress and a plain silver hairpin on her bun.

Judging from her dress, she is far less wealthy than Mrs. Wu.

Therefore, she forgot that this was not her hometown, but a strange place.

And no matter what time, the slave's life is not his own, he is a low-class person who cannot control his life or death.

Wu didn't know that her casual curse words touched Mrs. Zhao's shortcomings.

Mrs. Zhao is a slave who signed a death contract. However, her daughter became the eldest son's roommate a few days ago. Mrs. Zhao, who had been working as a handyman in the kitchen, also became a housekeeper in her daughter's yard. She was almost flattered by others. It floated up.

Today, the eldest son brought his daughter out, so that her mother, who is in charge, can also come with her. Of course, she wanted to show off her authority.

Now that Wu had exposed her identity, she became angry and raised her hand to slap Wu.

However, Mrs. Wu was not a good person either. She grabbed her hand quickly and raised her leg to kick Mrs. Zhao: "You old man, you still dare to hit me?"

There are no good words to say when scolding each other, and there is no good punches to fight with each other. This is clearly demonstrated by the two of them.

Xiao Xiu didn't even know that in the blink of an eye, they could grab each other's hair, punch and kick each other, and they were inseparable. After the fight was over, the two of them were busy talking about each other's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Xiao Xiu, Wu Xiulian and the shopkeeper's wife all shouted anxiously: "Don't fight, please stop..."

Of course, no one would listen to them. However, another little girl came in at the door. She was shocked when she saw it. She ran out and shouted: "Come here, someone is bullying Mother Zhao..."

Soon, two boys came in and stepped forward to attack Wu.

At first, Mrs. Wu was suppressing Mrs. Zhao and beating her, but now it was Mrs. Wu who was being suppressed and beaten by them.

Of course, Xiao Xiu couldn't just watch her second aunt suffer, so she picked up the stool and smashed it at the man's back.

Who knew that Mrs. Zhao saw it and shouted a reminder: "Qiangzi, get out of the way, be careful behind you!"

The man hurriedly avoided it, and when he saw the stool in Xiao Xiu's hand, he took a deep breath and felt that he had almost reported to the Palace of Hell. His face became ferocious: "You damn bitch, you're looking for death!"

When Xiao Xiu saw that he was coming to catch her, of course she turned around and ran out.

After all, she encountered a lot of things along the way, and she became a lot more courageous.

After they started fighting, Wu Xiulian retreated to the corner.

It wasn't that she didn't want to help, but that she and her mother spent a lot of time in the carriage along the way, so if they didn't get out and cause trouble, it would be considered helping.

Now seeing that Xiao Xiu and the others were at a disadvantage, she also slipped out. She happened to see Boss Xiao and the others coming not far away, and quickly shouted: "Uncle, come quickly, the second aunt and the eldest sister were beaten!"

When Xiao Youfu heard that something had happened to his eldest daughter, he gave the medicine to Mrs. Liu and said, "Don't go there, lest you get hurt accidentally. My second brother and I can go there."

He had no idea.

It is said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local coward. On someone else's territory, without knowing the other party's details, he would not be willing to come forward if it weren't for his own daughter who was in trouble.

Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment and saw their brothers running over aggressively, so she hurried to follow them.

It may be human nature to like to listen to gossip and watch the excitement.

In just a short time, the shopkeepers and customers in the shops on the street, as well as the vendors and pedestrians on both sides, were rushing to the pastry shop, so that Liu couldn't squeeze in when she got there.

Next to the pastry shop is a restaurant.

Sheng Yang's father is from Qianhu in Fucheng, so in this remote place, he can be regarded as a local emperor.

Although Sheng Yang was the eldest son, it was a pity that he was not good at literature and martial arts, so he could only go to Changshan County to work as a patrol officer.

But he was also very happy. After all, in Fucheng, his parents were very restrictive, and the wife he married was jealous. If he went to the same house twice more, he would get into trouble with him.

After he comes here to take office, his wife will definitely be raised in Fucheng if she is pregnant.

She was also afraid that the well-known Tongfang would have other thoughts when he came out, so he simply left the two charming Tongfang to serve her, and chose four pretty maids to follow him out.

This actually made him feel less restrained. Not only did he take back all the four maids he brought out, but he also bought several beautiful women to serve him.

Especially Zhao Jiaoer, with her plump figure, charming eyebrows, and gentleness, she is his favorite person now.
