Chang Xin said: "not long after February 2, I received Qinglu village for my mother. We rented a small courtyard here. I teach in this town. My mother washes clothes in the Huanyi shop in the town. I take her back after a break in two days. " Chang Xin said with a smile about her experience of these days and asked, "how is granny Lin?"

He Mai said: "grandma is very good! I don't know how aunt Fang is, but she's still used to the life here? "

"My mother is OK, but she hasn't worked outside for some years, and she didn't adapt to it at the beginning. When I went back to the village a while ago, Tori was selling two acres of land at home. Yesterday, Li Zhengshu wrote to me that there was a buyer and told me to go and have a look! My mother is also very happy. Now she can have more money

Changxin sighed, "the farmers have lived on the land all their lives, but now we have sold the land, alas..."

"As long as life goes on, why do we have to dig food in the field?" he Mai comforted. "Isn't LIULANG and I running porridge stalls outside now? Who said that it would be better to go back to the village to farm land than to live outside and set up a stall? "

Changxin said with a smile, "you are right. You are better than anything."

"Yes," he Mai nodded and looked at Liu Lang tenderly. They looked at each other with a smile.

It wasn't long before I had a new breakfast, so I got up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that he Miao has become the concubine of Li Zheng, who is a member of Li Jiazhuang. Is that the case?"

He Mai grinned bitterly, "it's true. Now she is Li Zheng's concubine."

Chang Xin's face was worried and sighed: "it's a pity that she is as beautiful as a flower! When she was in the Academy, many rich young men in the town pursued her, but now she married such an old ghost

"I once had a friend in the Academy who had made a marriage with a woman. When he was about to marry the woman, Li Zheng, the old ghost, took the lead and grabbed the woman. My friend was so angry that he ran to Li Jiazhuang after drinking and talked about important people. As a result... "

A touch of sadness flashed in Changxin's eyes. "As a result, the corpse was brutally scattered in the wilderness."

He Mai's heart was tight. She had heard about it, and knew how miserable the fate of Chang Xin's friend was.

"And the woman? What happened then? " He Mai asked softly.

Chang Xin was stunned, and said in a low voice, "that woman went crazy soon after she entered Li's house. Then she was driven out and drowned in the river."

Seeing that the atmosphere was so heavy, Changxin said nothing more and said goodbye to them.

Seeing that he Mai's face was a little dim, Liu Lang went forward to comfort him and said, "since it's a foregone conclusion, why think more. Each man has his own destiny. Let's put it in order. "

"What can we do if we are worried about the fate of heaven? How can we fight against such a powerful force as Li Jiazhuang?" He Mai sighed and suddenly raised his eyes. "By the way, I don't know if there's any news from elder brother song? I'm afraid grandma will be in a hurry these days. "

"I'm going to the town when I close the stall tomorrow. It happens that I can ask elder brother song."

"What are you going to do in town?" he said

"There's something to do with Dacheng," Liu langdun said. "Why don't you come with me?"

"I won't go," he said, shaking his head. "I'll cook at home and wait for you to come back."

"Good." LIULANG pinched her nose and gave her a gentle smile.

Back home, he Mai washed his hands and face, jumped on the Kang and began to count the silver in the small copper box.

It has been six or seven days since the stall was opened. Business is getting better and better day by day. Although it is not prosperous, at least, it is far better than the first day.

Today, when I went home, the rest of the porridge in the porridge stand was scooped out, but there were only two bowls of porridge, and there were no steamed buns. I don't know how much better it was than the first day.

He Mai pulled the copper plate and counted both sides carefully. He looked happy and cried out of the window, "LIULANG, how much money have we sold these days?"

LIULANG is chopping firewood outside the kitchen. Hearing this, he asks, "how much?"

"865 Wen!" He Mai happy way, "planed to cost, less said to earn more than 500 Wen!"

Liu Lang's eyes and eyebrows pick, very hold the venue, said with a smile: "so much, that noon should add a dish."

"Add a course of braised pork. I'll call my grandmother to tell her the good news and let her handle it," he said, licking his lips. "Grandma's braised pork is better than mine!"

"OK," LIULANG wiped his sweat, "I'll call grandma."

He Mai looked at Liu Lang's sharp back and a handful of copper in his palm, and he was full of joy.

……

……

Li Chang'an seems to come to the porridge shop every day to eat steamed buns and drink porridge. When he comes the next day, he Mai has just finished the hand torn noodles bought by Liu Lang.

Li Chang'an tut tut two, "the first time I saw a woman so greedy, your man can really get used to you!"

"Little boy, eat your bun," he Mai put his breakfast in front of Li Chang'an, "he used me to find such a good daughter-in-law. You, if you want to find a good daughter-in-law in the future, you have to get used to her!""What's wrong." Li Chang'an shook his head and took a big bite of steamed buns.

He Mai quietly looked at his side face until Li Chang'an noticed something and turned his eyes to stare at her, "what do you think I'm doing? Like me? You are a married woman

He Mai ignored his nonsense and asked softly, "are you often beaten by those people?"

Li Chang'an action Leng for a while, subconsciously cover his cheek help, "just don't have!"

"Then why do you always have injuries on your face?" He Mai frowned, "when I first saw you, there was a little bruise on your left face. Now it's better. How come your cheek is swollen again? Why did they hit you? "

Li Chang'an stood up, a little angry, "I said no one hit me, you don't understand?"

"What are you shouting for fear that others won't know you've been beaten?" He Mai glared at him and said, "sit down!"

Li Chang'an gritted his teeth and sat down, his eyes a little flustered.

"Don't be so hard mouthed. Why are you beaten by those people? Tell me He Mai said quietly.

Li Chang'an refused to say.

He Mai cajoled: "if you tell me, today's meal is free."

Li Chang'an was stunned, looked at he maining's face, and lowered his head.

"I can't collect protection fees, so..."

He is dull, "I now in the boss there are free to eat, drink and get money, they hit me, also should be."

He Mai was very angry. "It's wrong to collect the protection fee. How can they beat you?"

Li Chang'an raised his eyes, scratched his head, and said in an unassuming manner: "all the vendors here have paid the protection fee. It's your family Why don't you give it to me? "

He looked a little guilty and didn't dare to look up at wheat.

He Mai was still filled with righteous indignation. Seeing that Li Chang'an was not promising, he was really angry and funny.
