chapter 17

After making seven turns and turning to a remote alley, I saw a sedan chair parked there.

The stall owner of the Xu family cautiously cupped his hands and said: "Ma'am, the Zheng family is really powerful. It took only a day of work, and they came up with a clever trick to attract everyone! The villain didn't even open today!"

The woman in the sedan chair was furious: "It's only been a day, why are you so impatient? Don't you follow suit when he does this? In short, it's just that his stall can't be done! If it doesn't work, you can sell it at a lower price. Don't worry, money is not a problem!"

The stall owner of the Xu family smiled wryly: "Ma'am. I am a small businessman, and the tofu has always been selling well. If you want me to compete with the Zheng family, I really..."

"Don't worry, I'll give you another 20 taels of silver after it's done! It's enough for you to sell tofu for half a year!"

The stall owner of Xu's stall gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly: "Okay! Madam, let's discuss again, how will we sell it tomorrow?"

Seeing that the people inside wanted to come out, Wu Qingwei hurriedly turned and left.

It seemed that she was right in guessing that someone was secretly targeting the Zheng family.

But who is it?The Zheng family has always been honest and responsible, and has never offended anyone. How can someone spare no effort to spend money and energy, so that the fish will die and the net will be broken?

Just as he couldn't figure it out, there was a sudden burst of cursing in front of him.

Wu Qingwei looked up and saw a group of people in front of her.I saw a steamed bun vendor in the middle beating and kicking a little beggar on the ground: "Let you steal steamed buns! I'll beat you to death!"

The little beggar looked to be about ten years old, curled up and lying on the ground, as thin as a kitten, a look of pain and pleading flashed in his bright black eyes, he pursed his lips without saying a word, the dirty little beggar Holding a big bun tightly in his hand.

Wu Qingwei paused in her heart, this child looks like her best friend from the previous life!

In my last life, when I met my friend Mo Yucheng for the first time in the orphanage, he had such clear eyes that immediately attracted her attention.

Seeing that the steamed stuffed bun stall owner was still beating the little beggar, Wu Qingwei hurriedly stepped forward to protect the little beggar behind her: "Stop beating! I'll give you his steamed stuffed bun money!"

Wu Qingwei took out a copper coin and handed it to him. The steamed stuffed bun stall owner took the money, cursed and spat on the ground, then turned and left.

The crowd dispersed.

Wu Qingwei turned around and saw the little beggar's body was bruised and purple, and she felt distressed: "How are you?"

The little beggar looked at Wu Qingwei and shook his head cautiously: "Sister, thank you."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and ran away, Wu Qingwei didn't look back no matter how she called.

Looking at his back, Wu Qingwei began to miss her friend from the previous life for the first time.

Wu Qingwei walked slowly to her stall, only to see Mrs. Cai and the others had already packed their things and were waiting for her.

Seeing her come back, Mother Zheng greeted her happily: "Qingwei, where have you been? Our soy milk is all sold out!"

Wu Qingwei was taken aback, seeing the four empty buckets on the cart: "So fast?"

Mrs. Cai also had an excited expression on her face: "Yes! They are all bought in ten or twenty bowls, so don't go too fast!"

Seeing how excited her grandmother and mother-in-law were, even Zheng's father, who had never spoken much, couldn't hide the excitement on his face. Wu Qingwei suppressed her worries and went home with them.

Zheng Mingxiu and Zheng's brothers saw them coming back from a distance, so they went up to meet them: "How is it?"

Mrs. Cai couldn't hide her excitement: "Oh, my darling. My daughter-in-law Sun is so amazing, so she made that price list, said a few more words, and then led all the customers to our stall! You guys If you don't see it, the Xu family will be very angry!"

Zheng Hao looked at Wu Qingwei adoringly: "Sister-in-law, you are too good!"

Everyone was beaming, only Zheng Xu noticed that Wu Qingwei seemed to be preoccupied.

Zheng Xu came to Wu Qingwei's side: "Qingwei, what happened?"

Wu Qingwei pondered for a while, seeing the concerned eyes of the whole family, she still told the story of seeing the stall owner of the Xu family in the alley just now.

Hearing this, everyone gasped.

Mother Zheng said angrily: "This is too wicked! Isn't this clearly killing our family!"

Mrs. Cai trembled all over: "It's too much to bully! Then it's fine for the Xu family to steal our soy milk. I didn't expect that someone was behind the scenes! Granddaughter-in-law, have you seen who that person is?"

Wu Qingwei frowned and shook her head: "I didn't see what that person looked like, but he should be someone with some dignity. Did our family have any crimes against some powerful people?"

When everyone heard the words, they all had question marks on their faces. Only Father Zheng, who had thought of something, turned pale and staggered.

Mother Zheng hurriedly supported him: "What's the matter?"

Father Zheng slowly closed his eyes: "Maybe I shouldn't have appeared at our stall! Maybe it's all aimed at me!"

Zheng Mingxiu was shocked: "Brother, don't talk nonsense. What is coming for you? You didn't do anything, how could it be..."

Father Zheng covered his face in despair: "Stop talking! It's all because of me!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and ran into the house, and locked the door.

Wu Qingwei was puzzled to see her husband's family all looking distressed.

Mrs. Cai hurriedly asked everyone to check today's accounts, and found that she had earned more than six taels!But everyone looked listless, so they all hurriedly finished and went back to the house.

Back in the house, when only the young couple were there, Zheng Xu took the initiative to tell the story of Zheng's father.

Father Zheng is the youngest and most promising Juren in Qinghe County.The book is well read, and the appearance is not bad, and the scenery is infinite for a while.At that time, Zheng's father had already married Zheng's mother, but Sun Yuanwai's younger sister, Sun Mei, fell in love with Zheng's father and insisted that he divorce Zheng's mother and marry her.Father Zheng refused, so he tried his best to prevent the Zheng family from earning money.

Seeing that the time to go to Beijing to rush for the exam was approaching, Zheng's father was unwilling to compromise, but the troubles on the road were not settled at all.

The Zheng family has borrowed everyone, and the Sun family will try their best to stop it, just to force Father Zheng to submit.

Father Zheng was helpless, gritted his teeth and cheated Father Wu of 20 taels of silver, and quietly went to the capital to take the exam by himself.

But when I came back more than two months later, I was devastated and never recovered from the fall.

No one in his family knew what happened to him in the capital.

The Zheng family didn't dare to ask, so they just barely survived until now.

Zheng Xu frowned: "From now on, it seems very likely that Dad offended some important person in the capital. As a result, he has not been out of the house very much, probably because he is afraid that he will hurt us."

Wu Qingwei pondered for a moment: "It's possible. But I always feel that this matter should have nothing to do with father's matter. If this is the case, you have been unable to live in peace for so many years, why bother to think about it now?" Against? Also, where about Sun Mei?"

"When her father came back from the capital, Sun Mei immediately changed her mind after taking a look at his useless appearance. She never mentioned being with her father again. After a few years, she married someone. I heard that she married a powerful man. People."

Wu Qingwei nodded: "The daughters of the Sun family all have similar visions. My aunt likes your father, but the daughter just likes you, tsk tsk tsk..."

Zheng Xu was startled suddenly: "Why are you bringing this up again? That day, I strongly rejected that Sun Lili!"

Wu Qingwei curled her lips: "That's hard to say. Maybe this matter has something to do with the Sun family. In case one day, you despise me and think that Sun Lili is also good, and her family background is good...you just..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xu grabbed Wu Qingwei's slender waist: "Are you jealous?"

The two faces were so close, seeing Zheng Xu's bright eyes looking at her, Wu Qingwei's little face flushed a little: "Why are you jealous. If you dare to do this, I will never see you again for the rest of my life! "

Zheng Xu chuckled, seeing his little lady acting like a baby, kissed her forehead: "Don't worry, I only have you in my heart. Besides..."

Zheng Xu's gaze became hot and ambiguous: "We still have two booklets, and we haven't studied them together!"
