At present, cereal's small business is on the right track. He goes to Xiaoshi every day. Although he gets up early, he comes back early. If you have time, you can go back to your room to sleep for a while, and then come out to make lunch.

Every month's income is increased by a sum of money. Nowadays, the consumption of food and clothing in Xiaoqing village is already top-notch.

After Lin He Miao took Lin Changxi away from Qin's Maoyuan, there was no news of Lin Changxi.

He Mai was naturally very happy, but it was a little too much for the old lady.

"Now he Miao has married into a rich family. She chose it herself. I can't say anything. It's just your second uncle's leg injury. I don't know if it's better? " Qin sighed bitterly, "your second uncle and he Miao, why don't they come home with a message?"

He Mai thought about it and said, "grandma, if you think about the second uncle's situation, I'll go to Lijiazhuang with LIULANG in a few days to inquire about it."

Qin hesitated for a moment, but shook his head, "you two still don't go. I've been to Lijiazhuang once. The people there are very vicious and not good people. "

"Well When Liu Lang and I go to the restaurant to see off the bamboo mice the next day, we can ask song CAI to help us find out. " Homado.

Qin's this just nodded, "so good."

It's also the day to send bamboo mice to the garden restaurant this month.

After closing the stall in Xiaoshi, he Mai and Liu Lang went home, left Dongxi and Xiaohei at home, went to the bamboo forest to pick up the bamboo mice, and went to Qinghe town.

It was just before noon when we arrived at Qinghe town. Song CAI was resting in the backyard to talk with the man. Seeing that he and his wife were coming, he stood up to greet them.

The three bamboo mice in the bamboo cage passed the weight and paid a whole silver or two. He Mai was a little embarrassed. "Brother song, every time you give more than ten Wen, what's the point of us?"

"Tens of Wen! You and brother LIULANG have saved my mother's life! " With a big wave of his hand, Song said, "have you two eaten yet? We've got some food in our backyard. How about a bite? "

He Mai wanted to shirk, but Liu Lang grabbed her hand. "I'll trouble elder brother song."

He Mai didn't understand. Liu Lang explained to her in a low voice: "I'll ask elder brother song to inquire about Li Jiazhuang in a moment. It's more convenient in private."

He said that, and he knew it.

During the meal, song asked what they were busy with recently. He was surprised to hear that he Mai opened a porridge stall.

"My sister-in-law has the ability to set up a stall in Xiaoshi. It's hard for ordinary people to afford, let alone a woman!" Song said in surprise.

He Mai said with a smile: "brother song, you don't look up to our women? As a matter of fact, LIULANG helps me when I go out of the stall every day. LIULANG helps me when I'm in trouble. It's hard for him. It's the porridge stall I want to run, but it's LIULANG who suffers the most. "

Song Baoji said with a smile: "you young couple know how to be considerate. Good, good. It's said that there are many breakfast shops in Qinglu village. How's your business? "

"Not good or bad," he Mai was a little embarrassed. "It's not cold, but the guests won't stop. The main reason is that the location of this stall is really not good. It is blocked on three sides on all sides, and not many pedestrians can see it at all. "

"How could that be?" Song was stunned.

LIULANG told him about the rectification of the commercial market by the Yamen and the decrees issued by the street department.

"However, there are countermeasures at the top and policies at the bottom." With a smile, he Mai told the story that she had made a move to lead the way and Xiao Hei, the "living sign" to attract customers, which made song Cai laugh.

"You have a brilliant mind. What a good one! There are policies on the top and Countermeasures on the bottom!" Song Caichang smiles. "I heard that in Changting street of Qinglu village, in addition to Yamen and Street Department, a group of people from Li Jiazhuang are there. The leader is Li Heigou, a younger brother of Li Daya. He collects" protection fee "all day long. If he doesn't give it, he can't do business. Is there such a thing?"

He Mai LIULANG looked at each other. They both thought of what the boy had said to them at the end of the stall that day. But when he came back the next day, the boy didn't mention anything about it, and no one came to trouble them.

"Not yet." He Mai said and asked, "brother song, do you know what to do when you meet these people?"

Song Cai sighed and pointed to the ground with a bitter smile, "sister-in-law, do you see here? The business of this large rural restaurant is booming every day, and our young owner has a close relationship with the magistrate of this town. However, we still have to pay some "protection fee" to Lijiazhuang every month. What can we do about this? If I find you and don't want to suffer, I'll pay you! "

"Is nobody in charge?" He Mai frowned and couldn't figure out, "what is Li Zheng's ability? He raised a whole Li Jiazhuang man, who could work for the tiger for dozens of miles, collect protection fees, and rob women. They are not bad at all! Why is nobody in charge? "

Seeing that he Mai was so excited, song Cai sighed, "although Li Zheng is just a small member, his background is far from that simple." He leaned forward. "It's said that Li Zheng is directly related to a senior official in the imperial capital. It's good to rely on a big tree to enjoy the cool. How can we fight against them?"LIULANG listened in silence and said, "Li Zheng won't be arrogant for long. The reason why he has been able to do evil here for so many years is that the imperial court is afraid that he will touch his whole body, so as not to disturb the snake. He and others have been targeted by the imperial court for a long time. One day, those evils that caused the imperial court will be punished. Now, we just need to calm down and wait for his retribution. "

Song Kai opened his mouth. "Brother LIULANG's words seem to know something inside."

Liu Lang laughs, "one's own opinion, let elder brother song laugh."

After talking for a while, he Mai talked about asking about Lin Changxi.

Song Buya was a bit surprised. Obviously, he couldn't understand why Lin hemiao was already Li Zheng's concubine. Why did they ask for someone to inquire about this?

But he didn't say much. He just said, "I'll go to Lijiazhuang in a few days. I'll ask you by the way. It's nothing!"

He Mai thanks Liu Lang, and after eating, he is ready to leave the restaurant.

In front of the door, he Mai glanced at the direction of the stairs on the second floor.

In front of the door stood two men, who seemed to be listening to the orders of the guests in the private room. After a while, the two men stood on both sides, and a pair of master servants came out of the private room.

The servant girl reached out to support the housewife. He Mai could only see the housewife's delicate hands like white jade. They were as graceful and beautiful as the bright moon with thin clouds on the horizon.

He Mai looked and recognized that his hands were the "old friend" who talked with Chu Baishui in the carriage last time.
