Chapter 145
There is a small tea shop on the side of the street. It is an elderly couple who sell some tea and steamed buns. From time to time, they meet local thugs who don’t give money after eating and drinking. The old couple have no choice but to frown and sigh. .

The world is difficult. When Qingli was in Mojia Village, she always yearned to go to the town, because it is convenient to buy everything. If she has some money, the house she lives in is good, and the cleanliness of a single family is clean. It's more comfortable in the village, relying on the sky for food, at least you don't have to look at other people's faces.

"Here, some guest officers, old man, I am just doing business on a small basis. The tea and steamed buns have costs. You guys have eaten so much, at least you have to give some money to protect your capital."

"Yeah, we two are old, we have no children, we just count on this to live."

The old couple in the tea shop kept saying good things to some men dressed as servants, nodding and bowing, very humble, it seems that this kind of thing is not uncommon, if you can't ask for money, it is a loss-making business, this business is really difficult Do.

"Old man, what kind of broken steamed buns are so hard, I have bad teeth, what money do you need for this broken steamed buns, what kind of money do you want to protect!"

A servant with a rascal face, his small eyes were shining, his mouth was crooked, he stood up suddenly, stepped on the table with one hand on his hip, and hummed pretendingly, "This broken tea is all foam, it's better than plain water Drink! You rely on your old age to sell your old age, isn't that bad?"

"That's right, Xu San, these two old guys don't know who we are, do they? How dare you ask for money, if we weren't in a hurry, we wouldn't eat this crap!"

Qingli was passing by at first, but she also stopped at this time. She has an impression of Xu San, who is Xu Zhutou's unswerving supporter and henchman. He was also one of the murderers when he beat Lin Fengche last time. What kind of slave, this pig's head is about to hang up, and you still let these vicious dogs jump around.

"But, but..."

"It's a fart! Old stuff! The brothers are in a hurry and don't have time to chat with you, let's go!"

As Xu San said, the servants around him all stood up, and some of them even wrapped some steamed buns in the baskets with cloth, and even the teapot on the table went straight along.

"Oh, old lady, we did nothing today again."

"A crime!"

The old couple dared not speak out. Seeing the mess on the ground, there were still a lot of spoiled steamed buns and pickles. They were very distressed. There was no way to sell them to customers, so they could only take them home and eat them by themselves.After a hard day, the wind and the sun, a bunch of moths came, there is really no place to reason.

"Grandpa, I want a bowl of tea."

Qingli just felt thirsty, and couldn't blatantly take the spiritual spring in the space, so she sat on a clean table and waited for the old couple to serve tea.

"Little girl, why did you come out alone? The world is very chaotic, there are kidnappers in the town recently, you have to pay attention, where is your adult?"

The old woman brought Qingli a bowl of tea and asked again, "Is the little girl hungry? There are still two steamed buns, don't worry, they are clean, I will give them to you, no money is required."

After all, I was afraid that Qingli would not believe me, so I brought a box specially, and there were only two yellow-colored steamed buns inside, which seemed to be made of a mixture of cornmeal and rough flour.

Recently in the town, the food at home is good, there is no rough noodles, all white noodles, and these few days without eating whole grains, Qingli actually misses this taste, so she didn't say anything, took the steamed buns and started eating .

The steamed buns are not soft, but the inside is solid, and you can feel full after eating. It can be seen that the old couple are real people, and it is not hard to eat, as the Xu family said, and it is still warm at this time. very chewy.

"Come here, little girl, here are the pickled vegetables pickled by the old lady, it's best served with steamed buns, if you eat a few bites, it's tasteless to eat just steamed buns."

Qingli was busy eating, so she nodded and took a piece of pickle, which was crispy and sweet. Although there was no delicacies from mountains and seas, it was comfortable to eat. The only downside was that the rough noodles were a bit rough, and it took a big mouthful of tea to swallow it. go down.

"Grandma, why didn't the group of people give money for eating steamed buns just now?"

Qingli pretended to be puzzled and asked, she just wanted to know more about the evil deeds of these dog slaves in the Xu family, to make an assessment, and how to deal with it. If others were like this, she would probably not be nosy, but the Xu family is a The exception is that it has now firmly ranked first in Qingli's enemy list.

"Hey, those people are servants of Xu Ji Jewelry in the town. They do all kinds of evil all day long. They bully us helpless poor people by stealing chickens and dogs. What a crime!"

The old woman was a little more talkative, and she also pulled a stool and sat across from Qingli. Seeing her delicious food, she raised a smile and said, "This is not fine white noodles. Eat slowly, just drink tea, don't eat it." Choking."

"kindness."

Qingli nodded obediently, and slowed down. She went to three places to run errands, and she really felt a little hungry all the way.

"Then why didn't you report to the police?"

"Report to the official? The Xu family wants to send their daughter to the county magistrate as a concubine. Can us ordinary people beat the magistrate of the county magistrate?"

It was the peddler who was selling sugar water next to him who was talking. He sold a single item and didn't have much. No wonder the servants of the Xu family didn't bother him just now. Now he heard Qingli's question, so he answered it.

Give it to the county magistrate as a concubine?Miss Xu seems to be the only daughter of the Xu family. Not to mention her temperament, at least her facial features are pretty good. Now she is fourteen or five years old, which is the age to talk about marriage. There have been rumors that the Xu family hugged the county magistrate's thigh. It's true, the Xu family really meant that.

"The world is going downhill, and the government and businessmen are colluding. Who cares about those of us who do small business. If we don't want to make a lot of money, we can make a living."

The old man hunched over, picked up the mess on the ground, sighed, and answered a sentence. Judging by his expression, he should be very desperate for this world.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the common people are struggling in the market place. If they want to make a living, they have to get up early and work late at night, but they are still bullied by these local hooligans. Down.

"Ma'am, did you hear just now, Master Xu's family is not very good. I heard that a maid died at home on the day the fire broke out. He died unjustly. He came back in the middle of the night to ask for his life. He was so frightened that he had a high fever. The whole person is delirious!"

Seeing that the family members of the Xu family had gone far away, the sugar water vendor came over with confidence, and sat next to Qingli with a small stool, whispering mysteriously.

"This young master of the Xu family deserves what he deserves. How many innocent passers-by were trampled by the horse-drawn carriage in the town earlier, he was a scholar in the town school and was implicated. What should we do, and there is no place to reason. Those of us who do small business The most is to lose some money, so I don’t have to worry about my life anyhow.”
