Chapter 35 I'm Not Begging
Shu Yingtong stood by the dilapidated wall and looked at the family of three with an indifferent expression.

When the breeze blows in early autumn, the branches protruding from the wall sway gently, and a few dead leaves fall to the ground, holding the dust and blowing the face of the baby in the swaddle on the ground.

The husband and wife are still pushing each other for the porridge that can be finished in two mouthfuls.

Frowning, he walked up and bent down to pick up the baby.

"Help him up and follow me."

"lady…"

Osmanthus fragrans raised her face and hesitated to speak, she wanted to say that the swaddling baby would not stain her beautiful clothes, but she stopped talking when she heard the child's father coughing violently.

Gritting her teeth to help him up, most of the weight of her limp body was on her shoulders, and every step was very difficult.

Shu Yingtong slowed down her pace, and the hard steps behind her made a faltering sound on the ground.

What a grind.

ding...dang~

The two copper coins drew two sharp arcs in the air and fell into a bowl accurately.

A big red hand picked up the copper coin, raised his hand and threw it, and the two copper coins flew straight to where they came from.

Shu Yingtong casually grabbed it with his backhand, and the copper coin fell into the palm of his hand.

"I'm not begging for food." The deep, sulky voice was hard and lacking in strength.

"I know." The tone of understatement is like the wind that gradually cools down with the setting sun in this autumn.

The man half turned around to look at her, his brows slightly raised in surprise on his cold facial features, "Where are those two copper coins?" After a while he spoke, his tone much calmer.

"Hire you."

"Two essays are not enough, I have to eat first."

"can."

As the two came and went, the hungry people reacted from their stupefaction, and rushed to Shu Yingtong with eager eyes, including some who had just grabbed the porridge.

"Ma'am, hire me, hire me, I can do everything!"

"I'm cheaper than him, as long as I'm full, you can give me two coins!"

"As long as you're full, I'll pay you nothing!"

"I don't want money, I just need food!"

Shu Yingtong didn't pay any attention to it, and just signaled the man with his eyes to get rid of the person next to him who was too sick to walk.

"Get out of the way for me! Who wants to be beaten!"

With the crackling of knuckles, all the hungry people backed away in fear.

Especially the few people who grabbed the porridge just now turned around and ran away in panic.

I almost forgot when I was excited, this is a fierce character.

The land behind the county office is not for everyone. Every piece of open space in the entire Yuanxian County has its own owner.

The six of them are the leaders around the county government, how can the county government be full with a bowl of clear soup and little water.When the hungry people received porridge, they had to fish out half of the rice grains and hand them over to them.

Those who refuse to pay will be beaten until they are served.

Once this guy comes, they won't be able to make decisions about this land.

Seeing Osmanthus fragrans hiding in a corner to breastfeed the child that day, several people wanted to go up to adjust and eat some tofu by the way.

Almost got killed.

Six combined can't beat him.

They also tried to win him over, but they ignored him, and they would not let them oppress other hungry people under his nose.

He even gave some of the porridge he brought back to others.

Today, seeing him sitting there without moving for a whole day, and seeing Osmanthus fragrans come back with porridge, I have the courage to go up and grab it.

"Thank you madam, thank you Brother Nie..."

Osmanthus fragrans blushed and raised her sleeves to wipe away tears, while chasing after the man in gratitude to Dade, she kept thanking him.

Shu Yingtong pursed her lips, and glanced at the man who clenched his teeth and was carrying his back.

When she hadn't made a sound to stop grabbing the porridge before, only he clenched his fists and glared, but he didn't stand up after trying several times.

Seeing him pressing down on the position above the knee of his right leg with a face full of frustration, he understood.

When they came over, Shu Yingtong handed back the baby in her arms to Osmanthus fragrans.

Unexpectedly, the little guy started crying with his mouth flattened as soon as he left Shu Yingtong's embrace.

Shu Yingtong frowned and withdrew her arm, the crying stopped immediately, sobbing and sobbing so aggrieved.

"Ok?"

Tentatively, he hugged him slightly away from his chest, and as expected, he opened his posture again and was about to cry.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child is young and not sensible. I'll hug me, I'll come."

Osmanthus fragrans saw her unwavering expression, and stretched out her hand in fear to take it and hug her.

The baby seemed to have a premonition, as soon as Osmanthus's hand touched him, her thin eyebrows drooped, her mouth was flattened, her nose twitched, and she looked pitifully at Shu Yingtong who opened her mouth and was about to cry again.

"Forget it, let's go." Shu Yingtong took him in his arms, turned and left.

Osmanthus fragrans apologized and kept thanking her.

Shu Yingtong led them back to the side alley of the county yamen, the yamen officer saw her go and then returned, asked a few questions and led them into the back yamen.

My lord has explained that Miss Shu is the honored guest, and she can enter and leave the county government office at will without notification.

Mrs. Qi, the wife of the county magistrate, was taking her daughter to water the vegetable field. When she saw a few people coming in, she was startled for a moment, and immediately raised a decent smile and put down the water ladle in her hand to meet them.

"Ms. Shu, this is it?"

"Please cook some food."

Qi's face was a bit perplexed, he hesitated for a while, sighed and nodded, and led a few people into the dining room.

"Several sit down."

"Thank you." Shu Yingtong nodded in thanks.

After Qi left with the child, Shu Yingtong, who looked up at the leaking roof, grabbed Osmanthus fragrans who was about to kneel down, parted her red lips lightly, and spoke coldly.

"Kneel down to your parents, kneel down to the world, kneel down to officials, don't kneel down to me."

"Our husband and wife have no great skills, and we don't know how to repay Madam, so we have to kowtow. If Madam doesn't dislike it, I am willing to sign a contract of sale to Madam as a slave!"

I heard the young master say it was his wife earlier, and just now I heard the county magistrate's wife call her a girl, Osmanthus fragrans is very conflicted.

I kept calling her madam and didn't see any rebuttal, so I just called her madam.

"No need, just cook."

Osmanthus bowed her head and wiped her tears with mixed feelings, "Thank you Ma'am..."

The little guy who woke up moved his body, stared at Shu Yingtong with a pair of black and white eyes, and when he saw her looking down, he immediately blew bubbles to her happily.

"What's his name?"

"My pet name is Gou Wa, but I haven't taken my first name yet."

Speaking of the child, Osmanthus stood by the side and looked at him tenderly, and spoke more relaxedly, "The little boy is not sensible, and will cause trouble for the madam."

Shu Yingtong stretched out her fingers to tentatively touch his little face, and the little guy immediately bent his eyes in joy, and stretched out his skinny little hand to grab her index finger.

"What are your names?"

"Mrs. Hui, my husband's family name is Fang, and my husband's name is Fang Peng. My maiden name is Yu, and my girlfriend's name is Osmanthus fragrans."

Shu Yingtong nodded, then turned to look at the man who was supporting Fang Peng and sitting across from him.

"Nie Kaicheng."

"Practice family?"

"Yes, I used to walk through darts. Later, when my legs and feet failed, I planted two acres of land at home. When I suffered a disaster, I came here to visit my relatives."

Shu Yingtong nodded, it seems that the result of this marriage visit was a bit unsatisfactory.

I am not a person who likes to chat, so I stopped talking after asking.

Osmanthus fragrans also winked, sitting silently beside Fang Peng and helping him to give him back.

There were only occasional coughing sounds in the whole dining room, and Shu Yingtong lowered her eyes and looked thoughtfully at Gouwa who was playing with bubbles.

"Yue'er stay here obediently, can I go to the kitchen with mother to eat later?"

"But... I also want to eat rice..."

The little girl's aggrieved sobs could be heard faintly outside the door, and Qi looked embarrassed when she came in with the food.

"You guys take your time, so don't bother me." He said with a strong smile and walked away quickly.

 Thanks to Purgatory Snow God for the reward!
