Liu Qingcao stood outside and listened for a while, but didn't hear Zhang Wu's voice, so he simply stepped back.

After leaving the crowd, Liu Qingcao looked at the terrain of Laowan Village.

The name of Laowan Village is as its shape suggests. It is surrounded by mountains and houses are built on the bayside. There is very little arable land and a bunch of vegetables are planted in front of and behind every house.

The land is small and the harvest is small, but the houses of the villagers in Laowan Village rarely have straw huts. Most of them have thick earth walls, and a few houses are built with blue bricks and tiles.

What do these people do to support their families?
Liu Qingcao not only looked at the surrounding mountains, but also looked up. The surrounding mountains were so high that they couldn't reach their tops, and the mist hid them in them. She didn't know how high they were.

There must be a lot of good things in a mountain like this. The villagers who want to come to Laowan Village all rely on the mountain to feed themselves.

But it is not easy to go hunting for treasures in the mountains. The mountains are high and ferocious beasts are fierce and poisonous, and there are also many poisonous plants and trees. The villagers of Laowan Village are quite courageous.

If something happens here, Liu Qingcao plans to go for a walk in the mountains.

"Sister-in-law, third brother and sister, don't bully others too much."

A roar came from the house, interrupting Liu Qingcao's thoughts.

"Why does this voice seem familiar?" Liu Qingcao turned his head and looked in the direction of the crowd. After the angry voice, there was no sound for a while. Liu Qingcao was curious about the owner of the voice.

The entrance to the house was blocked tightly, and Liu Qingcao couldn't see what was going on inside. If he wanted to see the house from behind, he had to stand at a high place.

Liu Qingcao turned to look at the bullock cart, her eyes lit up.

Standing on the bullock cart, her field of vision was indeed much wider. Although she still couldn't see the whole situation in the house, Liu Qingcao saw the men standing there, but one of them had his back to her, so he didn't see him. Face.

"Second brother, this is your sister-in-law, why are you making such a loud voice?" The man on the steps was wearing a long green shirt, with a sullen look on his fair face.

If you have an eldest son in your family and he is a scholar, it is really difficult to live in these five days. The parents favor the eldest brother, while the younger brothers and younger sisters compete for favor. It would be strange if he is not squeezed dry.

"Brother, I think I have treated you right. Xiaoya is only four years old and doesn't have much food to eat. You can't tolerate Xiaoya like this.

I work outside and bring all the money I earn every month to my family. From last year to now, it is at least one or two or six dollars. How come my daughter doesn't have enough to eat for this one or two or six dollars. "

Zhang Wu was angry and sad. He worked hard to earn money outside, but his daughter didn't even have a mouthful of porridge at home.

If everyone was like this, he had nothing to say, but he saw what it was. The whole family was eating white noodles with meat, and her daughter only got a bowl of noodle soup.

If he hadn't come back to pick up the baggage today, he wouldn't have known that his daughter's usual food was like this, and he wouldn't have known that his kind-hearted sister-in-law and kind-hearted siblings were actually evil-hearted women.

The surrounding villagers were surprised and happy when they heard that Zhang Wu came back with one or two or six yuan every month.

One tael and six taels of silver a month, so this year they have nearly 20 taels, which is much more than if they ventured into the mountains.

If they could climb up to Zhang Wu and ask him to do a favor, then they wouldn't have to work in the man-eating mountain.

Zhang Shourong felt angry and annoyed when he heard his second son reveal his monthly money in front of outsiders, but with so many people watching, it was hard for him to deal with him, so he had to hold back his anger and use his eyes to warn.

Zhang Wu was so heartbroken that he didn't care about Zhang Shourong's warning.

"Brother, don't look at me like this. I have no regrets in order to support you in studying these years, but you can't take it for granted.

It has been so many years since you have been admitted to Tongsheng, but I have not benefited from it at all, so I won’t talk about it anymore.

But eldest brother, I am nearly ten years younger than you. It has been more than ten years since you failed in the exam several times, so you stayed behind closed doors. I don’t know if you were studying at home or running away to the mountains. "Zhang Wu looked at his elder brother not far away and asked the question he had been holding back for several years.

Zhang Shourong clenched his fingers, his face turned blue and white, and he stood swaying on the steps.

"The child's father!" The woman on the ground saw that her man looked wrong and didn't care about anything else. She quickly got up from the ground and rushed to Zhang Shourong's side, holding him up.

Zhang Wu actually felt uncomfortable when he lifted Zhang Shourong's fig leaf, but after more than ten years of hard work, he couldn't get his daughter a meal, which he couldn't bear.

Liu Qingcao looked at the people in the house. Although she could not see Zhang Wu's face, she was sure that this Zhang Wu was the person she knew.

No wonder Liu Kaifu said that Zhang Wu's family was in difficulty. Alas, this is not a difficulty at all. This is simply a quagmire.

"elder sister."

A soft and weak voice sounded next to Liu Qingcao. She lowered her head and saw that it was the little girl she met when she entered the village. "Little sister, there are many people here, don't go forward." Liu Qingcao got off the bullock cart and grabbed the little girl who was about to go forward.

"Sister, I want to go in and find my father." Zhang Xiaoya's eyes were full of tears, as if Liu Qingcao didn't let go, her tears would fall out.

"..." Therefore, this little girl is Zhang Wu's poor daughter. No wonder she doesn't lead him. This is because he is afraid that she will cause trouble for her father.

"Go in later. Your father is fine. There are many people at my door. If I hurt you for a while, your father should be distressed." Liu Qingcao patiently persuaded Zhang Xiaoya.

Zhang Xiaoya looked back, nodded and stood next to Liu Qingcao, well-behaved and obedient.

"It's over, it's over, Mr. Deng is out." Liu Qingcao was about to get on the bullock cart to see what was going on inside, but the villagers who didn't want to watch suddenly left as if they were running away. Her tone sounded a little impatient.

"Is your milk scary?" Liu Qingcao lowered his head and asked Zhang Xiaoya.

Zhang Xiaoya nodded like garlic, and subconsciously leaned behind Liu Qingcao.

When the door of Zhang's house was vacant, Liu Qingcao saw the person opposite him at a glance. He was about 60 or [-] years old, full of energy, with deep-set and cloudy eyes. At first glance, he looked like a woman who was not easy to get along with.

Zhang Wu was afraid that he would be scolded bloody if he confronted his mother.

Liu Qingcao looked at Deng, and Deng looked at Liu Qingcao. Zhang Wu noticed his mother's gaze and turned his head to look at the door.

This sight shocked him greatly, and when he saw Zhang Xiaoya behind Liu Qingcao, who was tightly grabbing the corner of Liu Qingcao's clothes, he ran out of the courtyard in a hurry.

"Master."

"Uncle Zhang Wu, you're busy." Liu Qingcao put away his sarcastic expression, raised a smile, and greeted Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu was a little embarrassed. In his current situation, if he invited his boss in for a drink of water, he would probably be looked down upon by his mother.

"Master, the weather is hot, please go to the river mouth first to warm up the water." Zhang Wu did not look at my mother's face and invited her sincerely.

"Uncle Zhang Wu, I came to you today for something. Don't worry, you go about your business first." Liu Qingcao saw his dilemma and didn't intend to go in to trouble him, so he took the initiative to give him a step.

"Who is it, Lao Wu?" Deng stared blankly and shouted in a high voice.

"Mom, this is"

"A messenger." Liu Qingcao whispered.

Zhang Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and echoed.

"Send a message to your son and tell him to go to work quickly."

Deng glanced at Liu Qingcao, then looked at Zhang Wu coldly, and said calmly, "Don't waste your work time."

"Yes." Zhang Wu's eyes did not sink, and he lowered his head and responded.

When Zhang Xiaoya heard that her father was leaving, she hurriedly came out from behind Liu Qingcao and pulled Zhang Wu's clothes with trembling fingers.

"Dad, where is Xiaoya?"

Zhang Wu looked at his daughter's frightened eyes and took a long breath, "You go with dad."

"Xiaoya, follow daddy and don't cause trouble for daddy." Zhang Xiaoya smiled happily.

Zhang Wu nodded towards Liu Qingcao and left in Liu Qingcao's oxcart without even taking anything.

Seeing Zhang Wu taking Zhang Xiaoya away, Deng hurriedly asked the Zhang Shourong brothers to stop them. When Liu Qingcao saw this, he couldn't let them do what they wanted. He stretched out his hand and took out two small stones and shot them at the two people's knees. It hurt, and I fell to my knees with a plop on the ground.

"Thank you, boss." Zhang Wu looked at the two brothers behind him. He was surprised at first, and then thanked Liu Qingcao gratefully.

"Thank you for nothing, I was afraid that you would blame me for being nosy." Liu Qingcao shook his head and started joking.

Zhang Wu shook his head, his boss was helping him, he could tell clearly.
