Chapter 38 This is a couple worth spending some time on

"Hey, this is the third wave today. It's scary." Aunt Wang wiped her hands on her apron and sighed.

"There's nothing we can do. The government is handling the case. What else can we ordinary people do besides cooperate?" Uncle Wang walked over and bent down to help up a bench that had been knocked down. He looked at the broken bowl next to him and shook it in distress. Shake his head.

Since ancient times, common people with no identity or status have been oppressed. Even if they were beaten or even killed by the government officers and soldiers, no one would redress their grievances.Because Feng'an has an enlightened prefect, it is much better than other counties. At least the people can have enough food and clothing, so they are content.

"Uncle Wang, have you figured out why those officers and soldiers came?" Looking at the sad faces of the couple, Liu Fuling frowned and asked.

"Xiao Liu doesn't know about this yet." Uncle Wang tidied up the messed things around and said, "This matter has caused quite a stir. Basically, most people in the city know about it. It is said that it happened this afternoon At that time, there was a thief in the mansion of the county magistrate Mr. Zhang, and a lot of things were stolen. Now the whole city is looking for the thief!"

"A thief?" Liu Fuling was a little surprised.

She and Liu Fuyun exchanged glances, and both saw the interest in the other's eyes.

A thief actually brought his attention to the county magistrate's office. This must be such a talent!
"Yes, there are no thieves coming in and out of other people's houses in broad daylight. Who knows what is going on." Aunt Wang muttered in a low voice.

After listening to a few people talking, the lone person drinking wontons at the table next to him couldn't hold it in any longer. He raised his head after taking a big sip of soup and mysteriously shared the news he knew.

"Hey, let me tell you, I heard that the thief who entered the county magistrate's house is a famous gangster. He has extraordinary skills and travels to various palaces and mansions like no one else!"

This diner looks like an ordinary vendor and speaks with a strong foreign accent. He should be here to do business.

"So powerful? Then why are these officers and soldiers arresting people? Have they seen their appearance?" Uncle Wang asked curiously.

"Hey, I don't know the specifics." The diner shook his head, touched his mouth with his sleeve and patted his full stomach, "Those who do small business like us have to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions. , I had to inquire about all kinds of news, big and small. I should have left the city a long time ago, but there was a sign at the city gate to check everyone, so I stuffed some information into a military master before I inquired about it. "

He rubbed his right index finger and thumb together and showed a tacit smile to everyone present.

"There are some mobile merchants here who have clean goods in their hands. No, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, I plan to go out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow when the inspection is not so intensive."

"Hey, these wontons should be ready. Auntie, go bring them out to you!" Aunt Wang slapped her forehead and suddenly remembered that there were still wontons cooking in the back room, so she hurried back.

"Let me tell you, the boss should close the door early today, so as not to cause any trouble." The diner took out a few coins from his arms and handed them to Uncle Wang, and made a quaint gesture towards them. After giving a fist salute, he walked out.

Now only Mr. and Mrs. Wang and sisters Liu Fuling and Liu Fuyun were left in the store.

"Uncle Wang, what the man just said is right, why not take down the mat at the door first." Liu Fuling pondered for a moment and suggested: "You two should rest early and have something to eat together."

Uncle Wang nodded, walked to the door of the shop, took a wooden stick leaning against the door and hooked down the bamboo mat above. "Just listen to Xiaoliu. Just bring out the fine plum wine your aunt brewed and take a few sips."

"Host, I think this matter has something to do with the two sneaky guys over there." The system was still thinking about the two people in the dark alley.

"Yeah." Liu Fuyun responded a little perfunctorily. "The robber... is interesting." Liu Fuling said with a hint of interest on her face, "Sister, tell me, what did this thief take that is worthy of such a vigorous search by the Zhang family? Brother Yiwei thinks it is something extremely valuable or... Shameful stuff.”

It is not a glorious thing to lose something in the county magistrate's house in broad daylight. This proves the incompetence of the guards in their house.Generally speaking, it would be enough to investigate in secret, but they made it known to the whole city with such a high profile, which is really unusual.

"Either he took something he shouldn't have taken, or he saw something he shouldn't have seen. In short, if he doesn't leave Linshui for a day, the thief will face the wrath of the Zhang family." Liu Fuyun said lightly.

"Come on, come on, ignore them, eat while it's hot." Aunt Wang came out with two bowls of steaming wontons. Upon seeing this, Uncle Wang hurriedly stepped forward to take them and put them in front of Liu Fuyun and the other two.

"Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are still as loving as ever, which is enviable." Liu Fuling said half teasingly and half emotionally.

Uncle Wang was born in a poor official family and read a lot of poetry as a child.At that time, he wanted to gain fame and revitalize his family name, and his first wife, Aunt Wang, supported him wholeheartedly.But within a few years, his parents died one after another, and the family reached a point where it was impossible to lift the lid.Aunt Wang worked day and night to make embroidery work to support the family and tried her best to buy calligraphy for her husband. However, she eventually contracted the disease due to overwork.

But at that time, the family was too poor to afford a doctor, so Aunt Wang pretended to be nonchalant and hid her illness.

Later, she couldn't hold on and fell down, and it was then that Uncle Wang finally woke up.

He sold all his books and pens at low prices and hired a doctor to treat his wife.The disease was gone, but the root of the disease remained. Aunt Wang, who was less than [-] years old, was unable to conceive for the rest of her life.

Uncle Wang regretted his mistake and finally let go of his obsession.He decisively chose the latter between divorcing his wife and marrying another woman or becoming childless. The couple re-operated the small store left by their parents and spent more than thirty years like this.

Uncle Wang, whose edges have been smoothed by time, has long been unable to see the shadow of his former days, but the couple respects each other like a guest and loves each other, and their life is extremely happy.

Liu Fuling admired the two people's sincere feelings and open-mindedness.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Liu has already reached the age to marry, but is there any girl he likes?" Aunt Wang winked at Liu Fuling.

"Okay, old lady, it's natural for Xiaoliu's parents to make the final decision on major events in her life, so don't worry about it."

Before Liu Fuling could reply, Uncle Wang said hurriedly.

They had already noticed that Xiaoliu was from a noble family. No matter how harmonious their relationship was, they were not from the same class. Aunt Wang asked this question inappropriately.

"Oh, yes, don't worry about it, Xiao Liu, my old lady is just a bit rude as she gets older." Aunt Wang reacted and laughed dryly.

"Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang don't have to be so outgoing, I..."

Liu Fuling's words were interrupted by the doorbell coming from outside.
