Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 149: Forgive me for not helping you.

The next morning Ke Muqing was woken up by Wang Jianzhong's scolding.

When she opened the door, she saw Yang Sanmei urging several children back into the house, preventing them from staying in the corridor to watch the fun.

"What's wrong?" Ke Muqing asked.

The children of the Yang family were very obedient. Yang Sanmei asked them to go back. No matter how curious they were, they all went back.

Yang Sanmei waited for the children to go back before coming over to talk to Ke Muqing.

"When those government officials came back in the morning, they brought back a girl from Yihongyuan. They said that the county governor had redeemed her body, so they gave it to Master Chen Chai and others, and asked the girl to serve Master Chen Chai and others along the way."

"When Wang Chai went downstairs, he happened to bump into some of them carrying the girl into the inn, so he got furious downstairs."

"The woman named Hong'er didn't know whether she was frightened or something. She knelt down directly to Mr. Wang Cha and begged him to give her a way to survive. She said that if she was driven back, the county governor would take it seriously. If she doesn't serve her well, it will kill her."

"Then the men who brought her back helped the woman to plead for mercy. Wang Chaye became even more angry and threw the kidnapper on the woman."

Ke Muqing understood. At this moment, they were still quarreling downstairs over whether to keep this brothel girl.

Chen Hu and others were determined to stay. Wang Jianzhong issued a death order to send them back. However, Chen Hu and others were not particularly obedient people to begin with. Perhaps the county guard had said something to them last night. So today I started arguing with the boss Wang Jianzhong even more stubbornly.

Zheng Hui and others also came downstairs when they heard the sound. Without exception, they all stood on Wang Jianzhong's side.

"Chen Hu, we are on official business this way, not just for fun. We have to go so far this way. If someone sends a piece of paper to the Ministry of Punishments and says that I neglected my duties and took a brothel girl for fun, you You want us to lose your head together with you!"

"Not to mention that we shouldn't take a woman with us when we go on official business, but if we are short of water and food along the way, we have to tighten our belts. Who of you will support this extra person? Which of you will take care of your own? Give her some water and food? Who of you will be responsible for paying for her expenses along the way?"

"Yesterday in Fucheng, the county governor gave me some face and entertained us, but it doesn't mean that we can be so lucky to meet such informal people as the county governor in every place! We were rejected in the several cities we passed by Outside the gate, have you forgotten? For those who are not on official business, it costs a few taels of silver per night to stay at the inn. Who of you can afford this money?"

"That's right! None of us want to lose our heads with you guys!"

Zheng Hui and others pointed at Chen Hu and cursed each other. Yin Tang and his colleagues were of low status and could only stand behind Wang Jianzhong and others to show that they agreed with Wang Jianzhong's decision, but they were not qualified to speak out about Chen Hu. Tiger and their affairs.

"Boss, of course we know this. We have all thought about it. Can't we just hide Hong'er in Aunt Yang's house?" Chen Hu looked upstairs with a smile and said, "Aunt Yang is here. We brothers can’t afford to support a woman.”

Ke Muqing was extremely shocked. Is this her business? What does it mean to not be unable to support him if she is here? Do you want to be shameless?

Wang Jianzhong and others also looked back, and Chen Hu simply asked, "Aunt Yang, are you going to help us brothers or not?"

Ke Muqing's face was full of smiles, and he wanted to curse out all the bad words in his mind. She went straight downstairs and refused directly.

"Master Chen Chai, I'm sorry I can't help you with this."

Ke Muqing gave his own reasons, "I am not the only old woman in my family. I have an unmarried daughter and granddaughter, as well as an unmarried son and grandson. For the sake of my children's reputation, I will never keep a brothel girl here. at home."

This ancient etiquette is strict. If people know that the Yang family has taken in a brothel girl for others in the future, will the Yang family's reputation be lost? Those who don’t know still think that the Yang family is some kind of den!

If this woman redeems herself from a brothel and becomes a good person, then Ke Muqing will definitely help if he can. Women in this world are in so many difficulties, and women who end up in a brothel are not willing to do so. If this person climbs out of the quagmire, Ke Muqing is willing to lend a hand. Give her another hand.

But Hong'er still has to serve Chen Hu and several men along the way. If she helps, if word gets out about this, the Yang family will not know how they will be despised in the future!
Chen Hu and others were very surprised that Ke Muqing would refuse so firmly. Even Wang Jianzhong breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Aunt Yang would not be able to withstand Chen Hu's pressure and agreed.

"Aunt Yang is right. Aunt Yang can't pay for the whole Yang family just for the selfish desires of you people." Zheng Hui said, "Chen Hu, don't take advantage of others and force them to do something difficult if they call you Master Chen Cha." ”

After Zheng Hui finished speaking, he turned back to Ke Muqing and said, "Auntie, you have nothing to do here. Go and do your business. There is no reason to involve your family in our affairs."

Ke Muqing nodded and thanked him and walked away.

Who wants to get involved in this disgusting mess?
In the backyard of the inn, Feng Ying and others were afraid of making a big noise and upsetting the people arguing in front, so they kept their cooking and chatting to a very low level.

The few children who had woken up did not dare to speak. They sat in a circle. You looked at me and I looked at you, with blank expressions on their faces.

"We stay away from people like Chen Hu these days, and try not to get close to them. Chen Hu and others are very jealous. I just rejected them, and they will hold a grudge." Ke Muqing warned the children.

"Grandma, we understand." Yang Shuangshuang nodded in agreement, "I will take good care of everyone."

After having breakfast and packing their things, Ke Muqing and his party got on the carriage and waited for Wang Jianzhong and others.

Because of Ke Muqing's refusal and Wang Jianzhong's order, Chen Hu and others had to send the brothel girl named Hong'er back to the city, so the group delayed some time to wait for Chen Hu and others.

Fucheng is not far from the inn, but we don't know what Chen Hu and his party did. Everyone waited for nearly an hour before Chen Hu and his friends came back on horseback.

When passing by the Yang family's carriage, Chen Hu deliberately threw his riding whip onto the carriage where Ke Muqing was sitting and then walked away with a loud roar.

But finally we were able to set off. The gong was struck at the front, the yamen servant behind shook his whip, and the team began to move.

Several children were called over by Ke Xiucai to test their lessons. Yang Xiu'e and Yang Sanmei, mother and daughter, accompanied Ke Muqing in the carriage. Yang Guangzu and Yang Wenxiao were about the same age, and they were playing together. Now The two of them were also called away by Ke Xiucai.

"My father means that Guangzu should read and read with the children all the way. I see that Guangzu is also very happy." Ke Muqing saw it in the morning. Ke Xiucai shouted, and the happiest people besides Xiuyu and Xiuyu who love reading Besides Cheng Shao, there is also Yang Guangzu who just decided to study together last night.
