Chapter 35 - 35. The troupe with ulterior motives
Wu Xiangrong didn't care whether Tian Erya knew how to ride a horse or not, and ordered directly: "Take the rein, put your foot on the stirrup, and step on it."

Looking at the tall horse, Tian Erya felt fearful and shook her head again and again: "I've never ridden a horse, so forget it!"

Wu Xiangrong whipped out his whip, wrapped it around her waist, and easily lifted her up to the horse the moment Tian Erya bowed her head.

Tian Erya was so frightened that she held the rein tightly and lay down on the horse's back.

Wu Xiangrong said contemptuously: "Look at your cowardice. You bumped into a pillar and yelled loudly at Zheng's house before. Isn't it very powerful? Why are you so scared now?"

Tian Erya stood up bravely.

"That's right." Wu Xiangrong flicked a whip at the horse's buttocks.

The horse suffered from pain and ran forward with a whoosh.

Before Tian Erya could react, she fell on her back, grinning in pain.

Pedestrians passing by saw her, laughed and pointed around her.

Wu Xiangrong looked at the fruits and cooked food that had been tossed to the ground with disgust, and said to his followers: "Next time, wrap the food tightly, and if it falls on the ground and gets dusty, how can you eat it?"

The attendant bowed: "Yes, young master."

Wu Xiangrong looked down at Tian Erya from a high position: "I wanted to help you out, but I didn't expect you to be so useless. I can't help you, young master. Let these food be your food on the way back!"

Tian Erya stood up, supported her waist and looked at him angrily: "You definitely did it on purpose."

"So what? You acted desperately in Zheng's house and stuck to Zheng's house. It's also useless for Zheng's family to be bluffed by you. Instead, Master Ben would have beaten you to pieces with a whip. I warn you, toad, don't make any more troubles, otherwise, this young master will not spare you." Wu Xiangrong hit his horse and rode away on Juechen.

The servant also mounted his horse and chased after him.

Tian Erya sighed helplessly, these rich young masters are too bullying, I really hope they will be taught a good lesson.It's useless to be angry, she can only squat on the ground, pick up the food that fell on the ground one by one, put them in the cloth bag, and walk to the city enduring the pain.This time, instead of going to Fuhua Tea House first, she turned around and went to her own home.

Old man Tian was banging on the iron pot in his shed, and when he saw his daughter coming back, he said angrily: "Aren't you not coming back? What's the matter? You can't stay in Zheng's house, and you were driven back?"

Tian Erya lowered her head, put the cloth bag on the table and opened it.

Seeing all kinds of fruits, lotus leaf chicken, and crystal elbows, Old Man Tian gulped down a few mouthfuls of saliva, rushed over in three steps at a time, grabbed a piece of elbow, stuffed it into his mouth, and asked vaguely: " Where did the Zheng family reward you with so many delicious food?"

"No." She said softly.

Old man Tian didn't hear it clearly, so he ignored it, and called out to his son who carried water into the door: "Tie Zhu, hurry up, your sister brought a lot of delicious food."

Tie Zhu put down his shoulder pole and looked at his sister: "Erya, why are you so thin? What's the matter with the injury on your face?"

"Brother, I'm fine." Tian Erya picked up the bucket and walked towards it.

Tie Zhu grabbed the bucket and took her left hand: "Why is there such a big scar on the back of your hand? Did the Zheng family abuse you?"

"No. Brother, don't ask." Tian Erya perfunctory.

Old man Tian stuffed a chicken leg into his son's hand: "Tie Zhu, hurry up and eat it. We haven't eaten meat for a long time, so we have to eat meat."

Tie Zhu handed the chicken leg to his younger sister: "Erya, you eat."

Just as Tian Erya wanted to eat, Old Man Tian snatched it away and stuffed it back to his son.

"She can't eat anything delicious in Zheng's house. Tie Zhu, leave her alone and eat quickly."

"Father." Tie Zhu was dissatisfied, "Didn't you see what my sister looks like now? She must have suffered a lot in the Zheng family."

Old man Tian rolled his eyes, walked back to the table and stuffed food into his mouth.

Tie Zhu's expression was solemn: "Erya, listen to brother, don't stay at Zheng's house, come home, even though our family is poor, we can still feed you and prevent you from suffering. Who would dare to stay in Zheng's house?" If you talk about your right and wrong behind your back, I will beat him up."

Tian Erya was moved, her eyes turned red: "Brother, I'm fine. Really."

Old man Tian interjected: "Tie Zhu, don't be too brave. You broke a kitchen knife two days ago, wasting steel and iron, and I haven't said anything about you yet! Don't make trouble anymore."

Tian Erya was surprised: "Brother, you are also a good blacksmith, how could you break the kitchen knife?"

Tie Zhu scratched his head: "The kitchen knives our family makes all year round are all made of iron. This time we finally made a piece of steel. I wanted to weld iron and steel together to see if it would work, but I didn't expect it to be messed up."

"Where's the kitchen knife you broke? Let me see."

"Here." Tie Zhu handed her the kitchen knife, "Look how ugly this forged joint is, the blade is thicker than the back of the knife."

Tian Erya looked carefully: "The blades of Zheng's scissors seem to be made of steel, but they made the blades very thin, so we can't."

Old man Tian stopped to eat, and swallowed hard: "How do you know that the Zheng family's scissors are made of steel?"

"I'm working in his family's blacksmith yard now, and I observed it."

"Okay!" Old man Tian clapped his hands, "It is said that the Zheng family's Longshunhe's business is so good because their scissors are famous. Erya, you should learn the craft carefully in his blacksmith yard and observe carefully. What is the secret of forging scissors, and then come back and teach your brother and me, and our family can also make a fortune."

Tie Zhu felt that he was dreaming: "Father, what are you thinking? The Zheng family scissors are famous, so they will naturally keep the craftsmanship of scissors strictly confidential, so don't report that fantasy."

Tian Erya lowered her head: "The people in their family really keep the scissors-making technique very secret. I can't see the key technique, and I can't see through the mysteries inside."

Seeing that there was no chance of getting rich, old man Tian replied to her: "You are such a stupid brain, what mystery can you understand? You work in Zheng's family, do they pay you?"

"No. They didn't ask me to work, but took care of my food and lodging. I felt sorry and offered to work and help."

"Miss Wu's family may appear when she will show up! Otherwise, you might as well come back! Your brother and I forge iron every day, and we have to cook with water. We are so tired that our backs hurt. You will make us relax when you come back."

Tian Erya didn't let go: "I said that after Miss Wu's family comes back to prove my innocence, I will naturally come back."

"You stinky girl, you stay at Zheng's house every day now, who knows what you did with other men?"

"Father, do you ever say that about a girl?" Tian Erya got angry, turned her head and walked out of the shed.

Tie Zhu hurriedly wanted to run out.

Old man Tian stopped him: "What are you chasing after?"

"Father, don't you understand? My sister is not enjoying happiness in Zheng's family, but suffering."

"Let her go. She deserves to suffer. Leave her alone. She can't bear it and will come back naturally."

Tie Zhu shook off his father's hand and ran out of the shed, but there was no sign of his sister on the street.

Tian Erya ran forward desperately, ran a certain distance and hid at the corner of the wall and stopped, tears streaming down her eyes.This day she was in a mess, Zheng Yuansheng played with her, and she had to walk a lot of wronged ways; the young master of the Wu family made her fall to the bottom;She cried very sadly, but when she thought about a poor girl like her who was not cared for, if she cried for a while, she could do whatever she had to do.So, she wiped away her tears and went to Fuhua Teahouse to thank the actor of the Hui troupe.

In the backstage of Fuhua Tea House, the actors of the troupe gathered together and talked in a low voice.The old man who usually played a buffoon was watching at the door.

Class leader Sai Diaochan tightly pinched a strand of hair that was hanging down: "Sisters, the opportunity for revenge has finally come. I have already figured out a way to take the life of that dog prefect. This time, we must let that dog prefect commit what he committed for his ancestors." Sin, pay the price in blood."

"Master, what can I do?"
