Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 265
Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng are discussing how many children to have and how to raise them.Hearing the rustling sound coming from outside the door, Qiu Yongzheng immediately stopped talking.

I saw that Yu Zhimo walked in sweating profusely and said: "Girl, I have already sent Agui to Mrs. Zhang, let's wait a while!"

Xu Xiaomi hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yu!"

At this time, Qiu Yongzheng had already got up, picked up Yu Zhimo's teacup and handed it to him and said, "Uncle Yu, drink some tea quickly, I am really troublesome for you to come to see you on this hot day!"

"Haha...Young Master Qiu, you are too polite. The girl can come to me because she trusts me and thinks highly of me! You don't have to be polite to me haha..."

Yu Zhimo took the teacup from Qiu Yongzheng with both hands, and said with a big laugh.

Xu Xiaomi looked at Qiu Yongzheng and felt strange, usually he didn't talk to people he didn't know very well, but today he actually said so many words to Yu Zhimo, and all of them were nice words.

She was quite satisfied with his performance in her heart, but she still didn't know that Qiu Yongzheng was grateful for Zhimo in his heart.

If it wasn't for Yu Zhimo's willingness to tell Xu Xiaomi the truth, he might have misunderstood his illness, and he really didn't know what his lower body would look like.

Yu Zhimo sat in the flower hall and chatted with them for a while.

At this time, Agui's voice was heard outside: "Sister Zhang, please come inside!"

Immediately after a burst of footsteps, a woman's voice was heard.

"Ouch! Master Yu! You are an old nobleman! I said this morning, why did the magpie on the branch keep barking? It turns out! You are the one looking for me! Thank you very much!"

At this time, Yu Zhimo stood up and said to Qiu Yongzheng and Xu Xiaomi: "Ah! It's Mrs. Zhang! Let's go out and have a look!"

Xu Xiaomi got up together, and Qiu Yongzheng hurriedly walked up to her, holding her hand, and the two walked out behind Yu Zhimo together.

Xu Xiaomi saw more than 20 people standing in the yard, all neatly lined up in a column, eight in a row and three in a row.

They all stood under the sun, but looked at Xu Xiaomi and the others with spiritual eyes.

Looking at it this way, the courtyard of Yu's house, which was originally considered spacious, suddenly seemed crowded.

That old woman in her 50s was wearing a water red satin dress, a purple silk flower on her head, a fat face, and a thick layer of makeup.

do not know why?As soon as she saw Xu Xiaomi, her eyes showed panic, and her body unconsciously took a few steps back.

Xu Xiaomi hadn't noticed this change in her before, but suddenly heard a voice screaming in her heart: Ah!she?she?How could it be her?
Standing beside Xu Xiaomi, Qiu Yongzheng saw all the changes of everyone in the courtyard with his eagle-like eyes.

He couldn't guess what kind of grievances there was between that woman and Xu Xiaomi.However, he could feel that this woman must have done some shady things before.

After Xu Xiaomi took a few glances at the woman, she kept searching for information about the woman in her mind.

Maybe it was too long, she only remembered some fragments about this old woman.

Those were two middle-aged women, and one of them was very similar to the Wang family she saw when she first arrived.

I saw that woman handed over a little girl to another woman, and then the little girl was taken by that woman to a dilapidated yard.

There were also several children as old as the little girl, and some people of various ages.

As soon as the little girl entered the door, she was locked up. The little girl cried and wanted to find her family, but was beaten by the woman with a thin stick, and then the little girl passed out.

Just like that, Xu Xiaomi couldn't remember no matter how hard he tried.

She thought, these might be the original owner, leaving some remnants of memory for this woman, right?
Could it be that she is the middle customer who sells Xu Xiaomi?Then, she sold the original owner to the Zhang family?

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaomi sighed deeply in her heart.Although it has been so many years since the incident, and the original owner has disappeared for so many years, but the unwillingness of her little heart is deeply in her mind.

This is injustice, this is hatred!Could it be?She still doesn't want to let this woman go?

Xu Xiaomi was thinking about something, and Yu Zhimo saw Mrs. Zhang's abnormality again.He didn't understand what was going on.

However, in front of so many people, and he was the one who called for them, Xu Xiaomi had to pick them first.then.Asked: "Girl, among these people, do you have a crush on them?"

Xu Xiaomi looked around calmly, and saw that among these people, there were children aged six or seven, people in their 40s and 20s, and young men in their [-]s.Of course, girls aged fourteen or fifteen are the most numerous.

Xu Xiaomi thought: Let's pick someone first!Don't miss the point.So, she saw two [-]-year-old girls with delicate features and pointed at them.

"You two!"

The girl who was 'pointed out' came out in response.

Then, Xu Xiaomi saw the women in their thirties, two of them were dressed too coquettishly, and two of them were okay, but they didn't look very good.

However, thinking about it, as long as they can take good care of their grandparents, it doesn't matter how close they are.

So she pointed to the two women in sackcloth.She looked at those men again, and asked, "Who among you knows carpentry?"

At this time, three people in their 20s and 30s came out.Xu Xiaomi looked at their dark skin, they looked like carpenters.

She asked again: "Since you have this skill, how did you end up selling yourself?"

At this time, someone replied: "Miss Hui, the young one is because the master's family is a carpenter, so he bought the young one back to be an apprentice when he was young. Last year, when the master's boat was launched into the sea, there was a big storm and the boat sank! The owner sold the little one."

When Xu Xiaomi heard this, she was shocked. It was the first time she heard that there was a boat going out to sea near here. After all, this place is inland, and it is hundreds of miles away from the sea!
So she asked, "Then where is your master's house?"

"Miss Hui, the young master's family is from Linghai County."

oh!That's right, it's closer to the sea, so there will be more people fishing in the sea.

"Then how many boats does your master have?"

Xu Xiaomi continued to ask, because she wanted to reuse this person, but she was afraid of being unreliable, so she had to be responsible to herself, and she had to ask clearly.

"Miss Hui, the young master's family has four fishing boats, and his family has four sons, all of whom make their living by fishing."

ah!This makes sense, the family was going to buy someone back to be an apprentice.There are so many boats, and there must be two or three people on a boat to join forces.

According to him, he was not the only apprentice in that family at that time.

So Xu Xiaomi asked again: "Then, were you the only apprentice in your master's house at that time?"

Xu Xiaomi wants to form a fleet, she needs a lot of people like this!If only I could find a few more.

"Miss Hui, at that time, there were four apprentices like me in the master's house. However, they followed the master to go out to sea and were buried in the sea."

As the young man spoke, his voice trembled a little.

Xu Xiaomi felt worried for them when he saw it, and said in a deep voice, "That's good! You can follow us from now on!"

"Thank you ma'am!"

The young man said to Xu Xiaomi very politely.

Xu Xiaomi looked at the other two and asked, "What about you?"

One of the people in their 20s replied: "Miss Hui! My little father is a carpenter, but because my little brother likes to gamble, he pissed off my little father to death. My brother owes a lot of gambling debts. I don't know where I went.

Those gambling debt collectors couldn't find him, so they dragged the young father's body out of the mourning hall. Can sell himself to bury his father. "

After hearing what happened to him, Xu Xiaomi really felt a chill in her heart!Unexpectedly, there are people like his brother in the world, who are really worse than animals.

Xu Xiaomi sighed and asked, "What's your name?"

"Miss Hui! The younger one is Hu Erhu!"

Xu Xiaomi heard his name like a tongue twister, but it was easy to pronounce.

"Alright then! You can be considered a filial son, follow us from now on!"

Xu Xiaomi is quite satisfied with the first two people, and there is only one left who knows how to be a carpenter. I don't know what kind of difficulties he has, wanting to sell himself?
In these days and years, people with skills, as long as they don't encounter special circumstances, can still barely get by.

So she looked at the man in his 30s again, and before she could speak, the man said.

"Miss Hui! The younger one is from Meizhou. His surname is Lu and he is the third eldest in the family. His name is Lu Sanduo!
The little one used to have a complete family, but last year, the heavy rain destroyed the little one's house.

At that time, his wife was giving birth at home. There was a son and a daughter before. The two older children were beaten to death together in the same room.

At that time, the young one was helping a wealthy family in our place to make furniture.

When the rain stopped, the youngest went back to see that the four mothers and children were gone. The youngest buried their mother and child. Since then, he was disheartened and had no more courage to live, so he threw himself into the river.

Later, how the little one got here, the little one can't remember at all! "

After Xu Xiaomi heard this, her back felt chilly on this hot day.I thought to myself: Why do I meet people with such miserable lives today?

Forget it, don't ask any more questions!If I ask again, I'm afraid my heart will be sad.

So she said to Nalu Sanduo: "Okay! Would you like to go to my house now?"

"As long as the young lady thinks highly of the young one, the young one can wish for it. To be honest, the young one has been here for a long time. Most of the time, at this young age, people will look down on her. Thank you miss for not giving up!"

oh!It seems that Lu Sanduo has suffered a lot from Mrs. Zhang!A big man, being sold around, still can't stand his self-esteem!

In the end, Xu Xiaomi picked two more powerful women and a young man who could keep accounts.

Once the person is selected, he can no longer stay at Yu's house, so many people stand in the way of the place!
When I was about to give the money, I realized that the old lady had slipped out at some point, and she couldn't even find her.
