Border Cook

Seeing that the situation was under complete control, Xia Mingyue stood up and called out the little girl in the toilet.

Seeing this, the little girl first breathed a sigh of relief, then hurried to her sister.

"Sister..." The younger sister hugged her sister tightly, her thin body trembling constantly, and tears fell down.

"It's okay, it's okay." The tears in my sister's eyes couldn't stop flowing.

The past few days from the first time I met this couple to now can be said to be like a nightmare. Now that I have woken up from the dream, in addition to the huge weight lifted off my heart, I am more filled with fear and sighing.

The two sisters were in a very unstable mood at the moment, so Xia Mingyue asked the shopkeeper to make another pot of hot tea and boil a bowl of steaming shredded pork noodle soup to help the two sisters calm down.

She and Fan Jinglan went to interrogate the couple first.

The couple had been tied up like dumplings by Mao Sanli and Zhuang Cui using hemp ropes provided by the store. Knowing there was no chance of escape or excuse, they confessed everything.

The couple, the man was named Ma San and the woman's surname was Ge. They originally made a living by running a small spice shop.

Due to successive wars, the spice business was not doing well, so the two men decided to sell the shop and go to another place to live with their uncle's family in order to find another more stable way of making a living.

As a result, they encountered a thief on the way, who stole all the money that the couple had earned from selling their shop and house, so that they had only a few copper coins left in their hands, and they could not even buy a full meal.

Just when they were angry and confused, they met the Zou sisters who were also going to seek refuge with their uncle's family.

The two sisters were very young, and there was no adult around them. Moreover, they did not look like the daughters of ordinary families from their attire, so they began to have strange thoughts in their hearts.

At first, he thought of using sweet words to coax the two sisters into taking him and his wife with them and providing them with food and drink along the way.

But after a day or two of contact, they found that the two sisters were not only very easy to be deceived, but also had little experience in daily life and going out, and seemed to have a lot of silver and money in their hands. They became more and more greedy, so they simply lured the two sisters to a deserted place and robbed them of their identity documents, gold and silver jewelry.

Then, seeing that the two sisters were panicking and had no idea what to do, and that they were both good-looking, he decided to go all out and take them to Changzhou City, sell them to a place of fireworks, and squeeze out every last bit of value from them...

"My dear ladies, we really didn't mean to do this. We are out of money and can't make a living, so we resorted to this desperate measure. It's understandable!"

The couple burst into tears and kowtowed to the ground continuously.

Because the two men were tied up tightly, the kowtow movement was not very smooth, and their faces rubbed against the ground. While they were wailing, they ingested a lot of dust from the ground.

Xia Mingyue and Fan Jinglan both frowned when they heard this.

"It is indeed your misfortune that your money was stolen by others, but your anger should be directed at the person who stole your money. You should never target innocent people. What crime did these two sisters commit that they had to suffer from your stealing hands and pay for your misfortune?"

Xia Mingyue did not agree with the two people's saying that "everything happened for a reason", and Fan Jinglan also nodded, "Indeed, if you are in trouble, you can ask others for help, do odd jobs, go to the government office to file a complaint, or even beg. These are not reasons for you to harm others."

"On the contrary, you two must be people who have behaved improperly and have evil thoughts. You already have restless thoughts in your hearts, but now you use this as a shield to clear your reputation. You are even more hateful than those upright robbers." "We will tell you all these words after we get to the government office, so that the government office can teach you well and let you know what you can and cannot do!"

Xia Mingyue shouted angrily, and asked Mao Sanli to cover the couple's mouths, and then tied them up with a layer of rope and put them in the front of the carriage, ready to send them to the county government office in Jinqiu County.

The Zou sisters had finished their tea and each ate more than half a bowl of noodles. Their emotions had stabilized a lot, and they kept kowtowing and thanking Xia Mingyue, Fan Jinglan and their group.

"My name is Zou Shiyun, and this is my sister Zou Shiliu." Zou Shiyun pulled Zou Shiliu to kneel on the ground and said, "We two sisters are grateful for your rescue. We sincerely thank Madam Xia, Madam Fan and other brothers and sisters for their kindness."

After saying that, the two sisters kowtowed their heads repeatedly, and their foreheads became red and swollen.

"You two ladies are too polite." Xia Mingyue and Fan Jinglan reached out and helped the two sisters up. "It's just a small favor."

"It's just a piece of cake for you, but it's a matter of life and death for us two sisters. We two sisters will never forget this great favor."

Zou Shiyun said, "It's just that the money we had was taken away by the two of them. We really have nothing to express our gratitude, so we can only express our gratitude verbally. I hope you won't despise us."

"Since you have expressed your gratitude and remembered this kindness, this is the greatest reward for us. You don't need to worry about other things."

Xia Mingyue said, "But these two have committed a crime, and we have no right to set up a private court at this time. We can only wait until they are sent to the county government office, and then they will interrogate them carefully and seek justice for you two sisters. Why don't you go to the county government office together, so that you can get back all your things."

"Jinqiu County is not far from here. We are also going there. We can take you two back along the way. You can also stay in Jinqiu County for a few days and make plans for the next step."

Right now, this is the most appropriate plan of action.

Zou Shiyun and Zou Shiliu nodded, "In that case, we'll have to trouble you again."

"It's on the way. It's not a big deal."

Xia Mingyue smiled and asked Yinqiao and Qingju to tidy up a bit to make some room for the two sisters.

When they came back, there were three carriages. One was loaded with things, one was for Yin Lingyou, Mao Sanli and Zhuang Cui, the master and his apprentice, and one was for Xia Mingyue, Yin Qiao and Qingju.

Fan Jinglan likes riding horses and takes Ying'er for rides.

Seeing that they were about to take the two sisters to Jinqiu County, Yin Lingyou and Mao Sanli took the initiative to take the cargo truck. Zhuang Cui, Yin Qiao and Qingju took one car, and Xia Mingyue took another with the Zou sisters.

After everything was in order, Xia Mingyue and her group set off.

Along the way, Zou Shiyun and Zou Shiliu talked about their own situations. (End of this chapter)
