A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Mr. Chen's one or two words directly made the housekeeper look ten years older. He was afraid that if word got out accidentally, their whole family would be devastated.

He is a confidant of Yuan Chen, and the Chen family has children. If the Chen family is in trouble, he will not be able to do anything good.

"Hmph, you're smart"

Mr. Chen also knew that what he said was a bit impulsive. Although that woman was very annoying, it was because of her that the family business had improved a lot.

I heard that the glass prescription that my father got from her made the family a lot of money. Even the emperor was fascinated by her. Things have changed a lot recently.

"There's no need to look for anything else. Isn't there a ready-made one in the house?"

"It's just a book boy, there's no need to choose"

Mr. Chen has a fat face and a somewhat fierce light in his eyes.

The child looks good and can study well.

He twisted the jade pendant hanging around his waist with his fingers, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit evil and ugly.

In the past, most of the children sent here were children from poor families, who were very rough and basically illiterate.

Li Xiuyuan, on the other hand, was white and tender because he had been raised for a year, and he also had a bookish air about him. At first glance, he was different from those poor children.

No wonder Mr. Chen took a fancy to him as a book boy.

"This..." the housekeeper hesitated. Ren Yazi said that the boy was dishonest. However, seeing Mr. Chen change his face again, he couldn't help but said: "I will send him here now. It's just that such a big boy is really hard to find. How about letting him live a little longer? At least...at least let the old slave find another one..."

Mr. Chen was a little impatient because of what he said, but thinking that no one would be there by then and he felt uncomfortable, he reluctantly nodded.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief.

I immediately went down to make arrangements.

Thinking that the boy had been hungry all day and night, and couldn't find any trouble, he sent someone to take him down to wash himself, and let him see the young master that night to serve "pen and ink".

Bai Xia left first, returned to the woodshed, and told Li Xiuyuan what he had found out.

"I didn't expect that the emperor had such a strong aftertaste, but he just didn't know who the woman that fat man was talking about was?" Bai Xia smacked her lips. She didn't know that the imperial concubine had not only been a concubine outside the palace, but also taught Chen Yuanwai burned colored glaze, which created a lot of income for the Chen family.

She didn't blame her, because most of the colored glaze in Xuzhou City came from outside, and each piece was extremely valuable. When the two of them met, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Otherwise, Bai Xia could find out more news.

"When people come, take everything away."

There were footsteps outside, and Li Xiuyuan knew that someone sent by the housekeeper had arrived, so he immediately returned all the food Bai Xia had given him to her to avoid being discovered.

"Aren't you going?"

Bai Xia thought he would go with her after getting the news from Mr. Chen.

"That Mr. Chen should know more, I'm going to find out."

Li Xiuyuan looked determined.

"Hmm... ok, but I have to take care of the girl in the inn. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay by your side. I'm afraid Mr. Chen has a lot of tricks. Are you sure you can do it?"

That's a pervert.

Li Xiuyuan's face stiffened.

"Are you going to abandon me for a stranger?"

There was a sense of grievance in his expression.

Does Bai Xia not care about him so much anymore?

"Didn't you want to keep it yourself?" Bai Xia didn't know why, but the footsteps had already reached the door, so she turned over and left the woodshed first.

After she left, Li Xiuyuan's eyes darkened, and he pretended to be a normal little baby again. He hugged his knees and sat in the corner, pinched his thigh hard, and cried in pain. He was still scared when he heard the sound of the door opening. Shaked his body. "You... who are you? Why am I here? Wuwu... I want a mother, I want a mother..." Li Xiuyuan said and acted.

The housekeeper had just heard someone report that he had been quiet for the past two days. He unexpectedly heard his howling and couldn't help but glare at the doorman. Is this what you call quiet?
"Don't be afraid, little brother, we are not bad people."

The butler turned around and changed his face, his face was kind.

"I am the housekeeper of Chen's house. Your mother sold you to our house. You see, this is a contract of sale."

The housekeeper said it logically and waved a piece of paper in front of Li Xiuyuan.

Of course, he didn't know that Li Xiuyuan could read, so he took a worn-out piece of paper and wrote a few words on it to fool him.

It dangled before his eyes and saw that he was still sobbing.

He couldn't help coaxing him again: "You have to live a good life when you come to our house. The young master in our house is in need of a book boy. If you follow the young master, you will be able to eat well, drink spicy food, and enjoy endless blessings."

"Really...really?" Li Xiuyuan looked at him with his eyes red, which made him feel a little unbearable.

What a lovely child!

"Of course it's true. They will take you down to freshen up. You will see the young master soon."

Li Xiuyuan was taken away by them, took a bath, and changed into clean clothes, making him look whiter and tenderer.

On the other side, Mr. Chen was already impatient with waiting, but the housekeeper kept telling him not to be ruthless and to save the child's life.

He had heard this so many times that he was tired of it.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan hadn't come for a long time, he couldn't help but slap the old housekeeper in the face with his backhand.

"Is this young master something you can take care of?" He was furious and glared at him. It was not because he was incompetent that he couldn't find anyone, but it was because he didn't act lightly.

The housekeeper was stunned, knowing that he was really angry, so he didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

When Li Xiuyuan was sent in, he saw an angry fat man glaring at the housekeeper with cannibalistic eyes. The housekeeper stood in the room with his head lowered.

Seeing him, Mr. Chen's eyes lit up, his face was shiny, and he looked at him with unkind eyes.

Bearing this disgusting look, Li Xiuyuan regretted a little. He never expected that Mr. Chen would look like this. He almost vomited out what he had just eaten.

"Come on, come here"

Mr. Chen dismissed the housekeeper and saw Li Xiuyuan standing there timidly, with wet eyes, looking very pitiful.

There was evil fire in my heart.

Just thinking that this was the book boy he had finally found, he endured it again.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan was motionless, he was not angry either. He moved his huge body to come to him and asked, "What's your name?"

Li Xiuyuan seemed to be frightened by Mr. Chen's size and stared at him blankly, motionless.

It wasn't until he started walking towards him that he took a step back in fright and replied, "My name is Li Di."

"It turns out to be Duo'er, come here."

Mr. Chen smiled and approached Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan could no longer hold back the nausea in his heart, so he turned around and ran away.

It's just that the door behind is locked. If Mr. Chen doesn't give way, the door won't be opened outside.

Seeing his panicked look, Mr. Chen's eyes flashed with amusement.

He stepped forward and grabbed his wrist.

The touch of the fat hand made Li Xiuyuan stiffen all over. He could no longer bear the nausea, and kicked him hard. A scream pierced the sky, earth-shaking and extremely miserable.
