The strongest heavenly master

Chapter 276 The twists and turns of fate

Not far from the pier, there is a spontaneously formed small market.

The things sold here can be described as varied, such as mountain goods, local products, fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry, clothing and so on.

It is not only convenient for the merchants who come and go, but also for the residents of the town.

In the corner of the market, there is a fish stall.

The owner of the stall is a young woman about 24 or [-] years old who is wearing a homespun shirt and an apron.

Although the clothes were plain and covered with dirt like fish scales, it still couldn't hide the gentleness and lightness of Xiaojiabiyu.

If you put on a set of silk dresses, it would be the demeanor of a wealthy lady from a wealthy family.

It's a pity that such a beautiful lady has somehow been reduced to setting up a stall for a living.

She was not the only one at the stall, there was also a little girl of seven or eight years old.

Similarly, the little girl's clothes are also very plain, with some blood stains and fish scales on her face.

At a young age, he already knows how to help adults share their worries.

From time to time, he shouted: "Come on, come on, my fish is the freshest..."

The immature voice also attracted many people.

When someone buys fish, little Luoli also helps her mother with work, such as removing fish scales and so on.

Although it is not very clean, most guests still don't care about it.After all, with such a cute little girl, who would have the heart to embarrass her?
Everyone in the town called this young woman Xiu'er.

Her daughter is affectionately called Xiaoxiuer.

This is also because the mother and daughter look alike.

"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Xiu'er?"

At noon, a young man in fine clothes came to the fish stall and shouted at Xiu'er in a sour voice.

"It's you?"

After seeing the other party clearly, Xiu'er couldn't help frowning, her eyes were a little complicated.

"Mother, who is this uncle?"

Xiao Xiu'er blinked, looked at her mother and asked curiously.

Before Xiu'er could speak, the man couldn't help but smiled and said, "This is your and Fang Yong's daughter? She looks quite similar to you, and she must be a beautiful girl when she grows up."

Feeling that the other party's tone was not kind, Xiu'er subconsciously protected her daughter behind her back, and forced herself to smile: "You... When did you come back?"

"Hehe, you still know how to care about this? I have been back for two days, and at the same time, I have also dealt with some important matters..."

When he said this, a meaningful meaning flashed in Fang Cheng's eyes.

"Oh!"

Xiu'er subconsciously responded.

At this time, when the people nearby saw this scene, they couldn't help talking in a low voice.

"Hey, isn't this Fang Cheng's guy?"

"Why did he come back?"

"Looking at his appearance, where did he get rich?"

"As soon as I came back, I ran to find Xiu'er... Is this going to put a hat on my cousin?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiu'er is not that kind of person..."

It's a long story.

Xiu'er is the beloved daughter and the only daughter of this townning member.

When he was not out of the pavilion, he was a well-known lark in the town. He was beautiful and could sing folk songs well.

Because of this, when they were young, many matchmakers came to propose marriage.Don't say anything about kicking the threshold, anyway, there are people who come to propose marriage from a hundred miles away.

However, at that time, Xiu'er already had a lover, that is, Fang Cheng who was standing in front of the fish stall now.

Back then, Fang Cheng could be regarded as a little wit, and he could write a few poems by himself if he had nothing to do.

Coupled with the beautiful features, Yu Xiu'er can also be regarded as a gifted scholar and beautiful woman.

However, Ning Yuanwai, after learning about his daughter's thoughts, firmly disagreed, despising Fang Cheng as a nerd with no strength or business acumen.

The daughter follows him, and will only live in poverty in the future.

For this reason, Fang Cheng made a special trip to visit Yuanwai Ning, saying that he would treat Xiuer well in the future...

But what good are verbal guarantees?

Without money, there is no confidence.

Xiu'er was so angry that anyone who came to propose a marriage would not agree, and wanted to fight against her father.

Unexpectedly, about half a year later, Ning Yuanwai partnered with others to resell private salt, and was arrested by the government, and finally sentenced to execution after autumn, and his family property was confiscated.

Such a large family business disappeared in smoke.

In order to save her father's life, Xiu'er begged everywhere, even using herself as a bargaining chip, saying that she would marry whoever could save her father, even as a concubine.

However, no one dared to accept the move.

Although many people covet Xiu'er's beauty, what Ning Yuanwai committed is a capital crime... In ancient times, the crime of smuggling was quite serious, and if caught, it would almost be decapitated.

Unless, there is an extremely dark background.

When Xiu'er was isolated and helpless, Fang Cheng did not know where to hide.

Firstly, this guy has no money to open up relationships, and secondly, he is afraid of being implicated.

But at this time, Fang Yong, Fang Cheng's cousin, stood up and offered to help Xiu'er, trying to save Ning Yuanwai as much as possible.

Xiu'er was very grateful, and followed Fang Yong to the government a few times.Moreover, Fang Yong did spend a lot of money, giving gifts, inviting dinner and so on.

Although Ning was still unable to be rescued in the end, Xiuer was finally allowed to visit the prison several times.

When the case was over, Fang Cheng came to find Xiu'er with the cheek again, saying that he didn't dislike Xiu'er, that he had no money, and everyone could live a poorer life...

But at this time, Xiu'er's heart was already cold.

Although she didn't like Fang Yong, out of gratitude, she finally took the initiative to marry Fang Yong, who was ten years older than her.

This incident dealt a considerable blow to Fang Cheng.

After all, he and Fang Yong are cousins.

Speaking of which, the grandfathers of Fang Cheng and Fang Yong were considered wealthy businessmen back then.After returning to the west, he divided the family property into two and distributed it to his two sons, the fathers of Fang Cheng and Fang Yong.

As a result, Fang Cheng's father was a prodigal son, and he lost all his family property in just a few years.

Fang Yong's father, on the other hand, inherited his father's business and ran a business everywhere. Although he didn't make a lot of money, he managed to keep the family business anyway.

After that, Fang Yong also continued to do business in his own right, and he could be regarded as the family of a little rich in the town.

For various reasons, he never married.

In fact, Fang Yong helped Xiu'er, to put it bluntly, he still took a fancy to her beauty.

Xiu'er offered to marry her, Fang Yong naturally couldn't ask for it, and soon married her.Xiu'er has also changed from the young lady of the Ning family to Mrs. Fang.

On the day of their marriage, Fang Cheng ran to the wedding banquet.

It was alright at first, I just drank and didn't say anything.

Later, when he drank too much, he started to go crazy, cursing Xiu'er and Fang Yong as dogs...

Fang Yong was so angry that he beat up Fang Cheng in front of everyone, and humiliated him, saying that apart from being able to write a few crooked poems, what other skills did he have?
Even if she married Xiu'er, she would only let Xiu'er suffer...

A few days after this incident, Fang Yong left the town, and no one knew where he went.

Some even said that Fang Yong committed suicide by jumping into the river in shame...

After a few years, people gradually forgot about this guy.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, this guy suddenly ran back...

Now, there is something exciting to watch.

Because, now Xiu'er is in trouble again.Otherwise, he would not bring his young daughter out to set up a stall to sell fish.

What is this because of?

It's because Fang Yong went mad and willingly donated all his family property...

In order to survive, Xiuer had to rely on herself.

"Okay, you don't need to set up a stall in the future, you don't want these fish, come with me!"

Fang Cheng lazily turned the corner again, and condescendingly directed at Xiu'er.
