lady, please calm down

Chapter 58 It's Dangerous!

The heavy rain fell from the beginning of Youshi to the end of Youshi.

After nearly an hour, the rain gradually became smaller.

Cui Yuan sat under the eaves beside the hanging flower door. Although the eaves above her head provided shelter from the rain, her embroidered shoes and skirts still inevitably got wet.She didn't care about these, so she couldn't stop looking at the second floor of the main building of the third entrance house.

"Why is it taking so long today? It's getting dark."

He muttered to himself, then turned around and saw a tall figure walking over from the front yard.

"Big man, what are you looking for?"

"I called Brother Chu for dinner."

"Hmph~ Mr. Chen is busy, I'm afraid he won't have time to eat."

"Are you playing grass fighting again?" The eldest son asked in a urn voice while standing in the rain.

Fighting grass is a popular small game at the moment. It uses grass stems as props. Two people pull each other, and the grass stem that is pulled off will be the loser.

The last time Ximen Gong came to Shizipo, when the eldest son came to look for Chen Chu, Cui Yuan stopped him once.

The reason for using it is: the young master is playing grass fighting with my girl, so don't disturb me.
Cui Yuan looked at the eldest son and couldn't help but sigh: "Big man, are you a fool?"

"I'm not stupid, it's just that I'm a bit more honest and honest, that's what Chu Geer said."

While the eldest son was speaking, he was standing outside the eaves in the rain.

Seeing him trying to defend himself, Cui Yuan couldn't hold back a chuckle, and then patted the stone steps beside her, "Sit here to shelter from the rain, you're not stupid, where did you get wet for a long time?"

"Oh."

"Hey, I'm so worried about my girl. When I go back to the city, I need her to buy Zhenshanfang's honey sauce chicken drumsticks for me to eat!"

"Oh."

"I also need to buy some candied fruit from Nanhuopu."

"Oh."

"Do you know Zhenshanfang?"

"I don't know."

"Where's the South Store?"

"I don't know either."

"Why don't you know anything?"

"I do not know either."

"...Hey, my girl is also a poor ghost. The things she wears on her body and on her head are all from her boss. Her purse is cleaner than her face. If you want to eat chicken legs with honey sauce, you can't count on it."

"Next time you come to town, I'll treat you to dinner"

"Don't lie, it's a deal!"

The two chatted for a while, and then heard the sound of "deng, deng, deng" going downstairs from the square, which sounded quite heavy.

Cui Yuan hurriedly stood up and looked over. After a few breaths, Chen Chu's figure appeared on the first floor, and Yunong was also there, but he was hugged horizontally in his arms.

Yunong hugged Chen Chu's neck with both arms, her hair was a little loose and messy.

"Girl, what's wrong with you!" Cui Yuan rushed over in the rain.

Yunong, who rested her head on Chen Chu's chest, raised her blushing face a little, and gave Chen Chu a tender look, meaning: "Tell me what to say."
"Uh, Yunong accidentally sprained her ankle just now, just go back and rest." After Chen Chu explained without changing his face, he said again: "Cuiyuan, go to Xikuanyuan and get an umbrella."

"Oh." Cui Yuan ran out stepping on the stagnant water.

Turning around after a while, Cui Yuan opened the umbrella and put it directly on top of Chen Chu's head, but because of the height difference, it was still a bit difficult to stand on tiptoe.

"Don't cover me, just don't let your girl get wet in the rain."

"Oh, the slave family knows."

The three of them left the house together, and Zhang Bo, who was driving, was already waiting outside the door.

Chen Chu put Yunong in the carriage. Although Yunong didn't speak, she kept looking at him eagerly.

"Go back and have a good rest. I'll bring you delicious food in two days."

Only then did Yunong grin, and snorted stickily: "Well, the young master must keep his word."

The carriage rattled forward, and the two scholars, Liu Changqing and Zhang Wang, disappeared into the twilight and rain.

Chen Chu turned around and sat down on the steps of the courtyard gate.

Rhubarb, who was sleeping here, was woken up. He bowed his back and stretched his dog's buttocks. Then he glanced at Chen Chu and turned around to go into the courtyard.

"Eldest son, did Da Huang look at me with contempt just now!"

"You dog knows a lot." The eldest son sat down beside Chen Chu.

"That's right, maybe I'm too sensitive," Chen Chu said leisurely.

"However, Chu Geer, you are too careless!"

"..., you also think I'm doing something wrong?"

"That's right! Why did Doucao injure the girl? You were so careless."

"."

Chen Chu slowly turned his head to look at the eldest son, and sighed: "Yao Meili, while Aunt Yao is still strong, persuade her to have another one with uncle, your number is useless."

The next day.

A wooden board was erected outside the door of the 'Cai Zhai', on which it was written: Luliuwei Joint Defense Team Recruitment Office.

"The teacher said that the recruits of the joint defense team are men over the age of 16 and under the age of 35, and those who are physically fit are given priority. The duties are night patrols, deterring young people, and guarding the hometown. Once hired, they will be provided with two meals a day. Meals include meat. And there is a consistent monthly income to receive subsidies for the family.”

Liu Changqing stood on the steps and shouted hoarsely for a long time, but none of the villagers below stepped forward.

It's not that the conditions are bad, but
Liu Sloppy, who was in his late forties, elbowed Uncle Liu next to him, "The new boss is playing tricks? This Lao Shizi's joint defense team sounds like a lie. If he says that he provides two meals a day Maybe there are still people who believe that the meal is meaty, and there is still money for it, don't they think we are fools?"

"Perhaps what Master Chen said is true." Uncle Liu had a good impression of Chen Chu, but he had experienced several masters in his life, and he had never heard of masters giving money to tenants, so he couldn't help adding, "Maybe."

"Hey, if you believe it, why don't you let your two good boys sign up?" Liu Sloppy pouted.

Indeed, the tenants already had the custom of serving for their masters. When they were the tenants of the Cai family, each family sent out one member to serve for two months every year.

Therefore, they couldn't see through what Chen Chu was going to do.

How can tenant farmers take advantage of dealing with their owners in the past?Caution has been engraved in their bones, and they can't rush forward if they can't figure out what the boss is trying to do.

Liu Changqing on the steps was hoarse until he yelled, but he couldn't recruit a defense team for Chen Chu.
Turning back to the Xikua courtyard, Liu Changqing poured a bowl of well water, and said shamelessly: "Master, looking at the appearance of the villagers, I'm afraid they don't believe us."

Chen Chu listened, and after pondering for a while, strode out.

Just as the crowd outside was about to disperse, Chen Chu said loudly, "Uncle Liu, I have assigned the defense team to Brother Big Niu and Brother Erhu! Let them report later!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went back regardless of Uncle Liu's reaction.

The villagers below were silent, and all looked at Uncle Liu.

Everyone thinks differently.

Some people sympathized with Uncle Liu, thinking that the new owner was going to engage in such a war, and first relied on "meals and monthly money" to trick everyone into joining them. Fortunately, everyone was smart and not fooled, so the owner was furious and assigned to Uncle Liu's family.

Some people feel fortunate that after all, Uncle Liu's family has been assigned, so the others don't have to take on this job anymore.

But everyone has a consensus that this time the 'joint defense team' is definitely not a good job.

Uncle Liu stood on the spot and muttered something, finally heaved a sigh, stooped and walked home.

In previous years, each household of the Cai family would only pay one ding, but this time, Dong Chen’s family took away two strong laborers from his family at once, so what about farming?
However, Uncle Liu is used to not fighting.

In this world, the rich and powerful have always had the final say, and it has always been like this.
time.

Brothers Liu Daniu and Liu Erhu who were working in the fields were called to the ginkgo tree outside the vegetable house.

One of them is twenty-six, the other is twenty-one, but their faces are dark, and they look like people in their 30s.

The living radius of the two brothers in this life is no more than thirty miles, and the farthest they have been to is Tongshan County, and the number of times is also very few.

When Yang Dalang and Peng's second brother looked at the two of them, both brothers looked tense and cautious, with a stiff and ingratiating smile on their sweaty faces all the time.

"Don't be dazed, let's take a look at the stone lock fifty times first." Brother Peng said.

Although the Liu family brothers were puzzled, they habitually obeyed, stepped forward and clumsily picked up the stone lock and lifted it up.

Not far away, Liu Sloppy and several other villagers squatted in the shade at the base of the wall, discussing in low voices.

"I don't even have enough strength to do farming, and this boss is still here to torment Brother Big Niu."

"Exactly, isn't this treating people like monkeys!"

"I just said, there is no such kind-hearted boss in this world, it would be good to return the money so that we can be treated as human beings."

"Sloppy, keep your voice down, and be careful not to be overheard by your new owner and drive you out of the village."

"Hurry up, anyway, I don't have any land to plant right now, so I'm afraid." Liu Sloppy shrank his neck, still speaking stiffly, but his voice couldn't help but lowered a lot.

While the few people were chatting, a group of pedestrians came from far away on the official road to the west.

Peng Er under the ginkgo tree also saw it, took a closer look, and couldn't help saying happily: "Da Lang, it seems that Uncle Arita is here."

Um!That's right, since Chen Chudian moved to Luliuxu, this was Yang Youtian's first visit.

Yang Zhen also looked up and found not only his father, but also Yao Sanbian and several women sitting in the bullock cart behind Uncle Xu.
Aunt Yao, Sister-in-law Peng, Sister-in-law Wu, Sister-in-law Chen!
Yang Zhen thought for a while, then raised his legs and walked towards Xikuan courtyard.

"Brother Chu, your wife is here."

"Oh..." Chen Chu responded casually, and when he was about to go out to greet him, he suddenly remembered something, and ran into the second floor of Sanjin's back house.

Scan around.

Sure enough, I found a plain white handkerchief dyed with peach blossoms in the corner of the wall.

"Call for danger!"
