Chapter 126 Crying
The little girl didn't go to take the bun in Shangguan Xue's hand, she blinked at her mother with tearful eyes, as if asking whether she should pick it up or not.

The woman's eyes were a little startled, she looked at Shangguan Xue who was squatting down, and then raised her head to look at Wu Di, perhaps realizing that the two in front of her were not bad guys, the woman smiled slightly and said to the little girl: "Xuanxuan, thank you soon elder sister."

"Thank you big sister!"

The little girl's voice was very crisp, which made Shangguan Xue giggle. She touched Xuanxuan's head with her right hand, and passed the bun in her left hand: "Xuanxuan is so good, eat it quickly! The meat buns are delicious."

Don't look at Xuanxuan's young age, but she is really cute and sensible.He picked up a meat bun with his dirty hands, turned around and handed it to her mother.

The woman took the bun and swallowed while looking at the bun, but she was not willing to eat it, kissed Xuan Xuan on the forehead, and put the bun back into the paper bag.

"Girl! You are truly a bodhisattva. Xuanxuan has been hungry for two days. The five buns you gave saved Xuanxuan's life. I kowtow to you."

The more the woman spoke, the more excited she became, she hugged Xuanxuan aside and was about to kowtow to Shangguanxue.

How could Shangguan Xue make her kowtow?Hastily stretched out his hand to help her up, frowned and asked: "Looking at your clothes and temperament, your family background should be good. Why did you let the child go hungry for two days? Where's her father?"

The words fell into her ears, and the woman burst into tears instantly, looked at the restaurant again, cried and shook her head without saying anything.

Shangguanxue glanced at the thriving restaurant, then looked back at the woman, and was about to ask again, when Xuanxuan, who was eating meat buns, opened her mouth.

"Big sister! This restaurant used to belong to my family."

"Ok?"

Shangguan Xue was taken aback for a moment, glanced at the crying woman, and realized that something was wrong.

"Benefactor! To tell you the truth. My surname is Zhang, and my husband and I have opened this restaurant for ten years. Although we can only save tens of taels of silver every year, the family of three can live comfortably. But... But in Seven days ago, my husband suddenly disappeared."

"Disappeared? A big living person disappeared? You didn't report to the authorities?" Shangguan Xue became more and more confused as she heard it, and hurriedly asked.

"On the day I disappeared, I went to the government office. The next day, the magistrate sent three officials to investigate for two days, and then nothing happened. Two days later, that is, three days ago, the town's The young master of the Jia family arrived at the restaurant early in the morning and took out a receipt. The receipt stated that my husband owed the Jia family a full 1000 taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Xue gasped.

In Shangguan Xue's eyes, that thousand taels of silver was not a huge amount.But she knew that for a commoner, even if he did not eat or drink for a lifetime, he would not be able to accumulate a thousand taels of silver.

Of course, the Zhang family in front of them has a restaurant, but for them, a thousand taels of silver has to be saved for ten years.

"1000 taels of silver is not a small amount. How could your husband owe the Jia family so much silver?"

"Master Jia said that my husband, Huo Yun, is a gambler. In three years! He went to Jia's house three times and borrowed more than 300 taels of silver each time. He heard that my husband disappeared in the mansion, so he came with me. Collecting debts, threatening that if I don’t pay back the debts, I will be beaten to death, and then sell Xuanxuan..."

Mrs. Zhang cried with her head in her arms. After mentioning Xuanxuan, she swallowed her words.

Without needing Zhang's blunt words, Shangguanxue and Wu Di could tell that they were going to sell Xuanxuan to Qing.Lou, such things are not uncommon.

"I really had no other choice, so I had to go to the county government to beat drums to appeal for grievances. But the magistrate not only refused to go to the court to question the case, but also sent someone to warn my wife and my wife. above the hall."

"So you paid off the restaurant?" Shangguan Xue continued to ask.

"If the restaurant is exchanged to someone else, it will be worth more than 200 taels of silver. In addition to the money my husband and wife have accumulated over the past ten years, we can barely pay back the bill. But... But the young master of the Jia family said that the restaurant is worth 50 taels Silver, I gave him all my savings, and now I still owe him 130 taels of silver."

"Hey! Tell me, why didn't you keep your eyes open at the beginning, and chose a gambler..."

Shangguanxue sighed, before she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Zhang suddenly grabbed her arm, with tears of sincerity and trust in her eyes, she shook her head and said, "My husband is an honest man, he never takes a gamble. .”

"Are you so sure? Maybe he sneaked out of the restaurant during the day and went to the casino..."

"Absolutely impossible! Don't look at the booming business of the restaurant. When my husband and I were running the business, we didn't even hire a waiter to pass the dishes. For ten years, my husband did all the work of welcoming guests and passing the dishes. You say, How could he have the chance to sneak out of the restaurant and go to the casino?"

Mrs. Zhang wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, took a few deep breaths, calmed down the pain in her heart, and suddenly smiled helplessly.

"Girl! It's not like my family's experience happened once or twice in the town. Every now and then, Jia's family will go to a store, either to buy it outrageously and forcibly, or to use tricks to keep it for themselves. If you don't believe me, you can just ask Ask the beggars on the street, eight out of ten have done business in the town before."

Hearing this, Shangguan Xueteng stood up suddenly, his pretty face was gloomy and frightening, and his eyes, which were like a bright moon, also showed a lot of anger.

"Mrs. Zhang, are you telling the truth?" Shangguanxue asked Zhang Shi coldly, her brows tightly locked.

"Girl! Why am I lying to you? You may not have noticed that most of the shops along the streets in this town have the word 'Jia' engraved on the plaques. But anyone who has lived in the town for ten years does not know that Jia's ten It was still a small household a few years ago.”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xue deliberately turned around and glanced at the lower corner of the restaurant's plaque.After that, I turned around and looked at several other jewelry stores, pharmacies, and tailors. What Mrs. Zhang said was true. The word "Jia" was engraved on each plaque.

"Mrs. Zhang, I don't quite understand. Since Jia's family was a small family ten years ago, how did they have such financial resources after ten years?" Shangguan Xue turned around, looked at Mrs. Zhang and continued to ask.

"Miss doesn't know, the young master of the Jia family was accepted by Ziyun Sect as an inner disciple seven years ago. He returned to Fengling Town five years ago, and with his martial arts and arrogance, he did all kinds of evil. Going to a restaurant to extort a hundred taels of silver, how can we and other people who have no strength to restrain a chicken provoke him?"

Instantly!Shangguan Xue's jade hands clenched into fists, and her white teeth creaked even more.

But just when she was about to speak, there was a sudden shout from the street.

"I've been watching you for a long time, what are you doing there? Hehe! There are buns to eat. Mrs. Zhang! Your mother and I are living a good life?"

As the sound moved from far to near, there were seven more people behind Wu Di and Shangguan Xue.

Among the seven, six had big arms and round waists, three held knives, and three carried swords at their waists.

The one walking in front was over forty years old, thin and not tall, touching his goatee while talking, glanced at Wu Di and then looked away.

When he saw Shangguanxue, the person's eyes suddenly changed, he looked Shangguanxue up and down for a few seconds, and laughed strangely: "I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that in this small Fengling Town, there is still Meeting such an alluring beauty."
