Chapter 374 Disappointment

"Brother, I will, and you have to be careful on the road, just in case," Beibei paused, and confessed uneasy: "I'm talking about just in case that person surnamed Hong gets someone to arrest Ma Liang, you To hand him over to Hong is to never take risks for someone who has nothing to do with him."

Although the possibility of this is very low, Beibei still has to confess to her brother first. There is nothing she worries about more than the safety of her own family.

The brothers and sisters went back to their rooms to sleep after finishing talking, and Ma Liang also slept until dawn because of the medicine, and it was not until Beibei's eldest cousin got up to make breakfast that he woke up.

Beibei also got up early to steam some steamed buns, and then filled two jars of Lingyan water for the two to take with them on the road, so that they could save some time on the road.

After a night of rest, Zhang Liang's complexion has returned to normal, and the wound on his lower abdomen is no longer felt. He was wondering how the "fatal wound" that Beibei said healed so quickly, when he heard the whole boat calling him to have breakfast .

After breakfast and medicine, Ma Liang quietly got into the carriage, waited for the whole boat to say goodbye to Feng's family, and then set off.

After breakfast, brothers Feng Yong and Feng Ping took Beibei to find a shop.

Because the weather was too hot, the three of them went to the door early, and found a small restaurant to eat and rest in the middle of the day without finding a shop.

The three of them were eating when four men came to the next table.

The four men started cursing after ordering the food and drink: "Mother, where did that brat Ma Liang go?!"

"That's right!" Another man also spat: "It's not like this kid has no hands or feet. He must be lazy if he doesn't go back to the restaurant. Shopkeeper Hong actually asked us to find someone. It's quite a toss!"

They were not happy to ask them to come out to find someone in such a hot day.

"Shopkeeper Hong treats him like his own son. He's gone, can shopkeeper Hong not be in a hurry?" Another man winked and said, it's not hard to hear the ambiguity and disdain in his tone.

It turns out that because Hong Deyi is too partial to Ma Liang on weekdays, the people below have long been dissatisfied with Hong Yide; and Ma Liang and Hong Yide are people of the same virtue, who like to pretend to be arrogant and arrogant, these people have long had enough Ma Liang was angry, but because of Hong Yide behind him, these people dared not speak out against Ma Liang, they could only curse a few words in private, and bad-heartedly vilified the relationship between Hong Yide and Ma Liang, It made everyone know that Hong Yide and Ma Liang had a shady relationship.

Therefore, when the man's voice fell, the other people snickered unanimously, as if this was the only way to dispel the resentment in their hearts.

But how did these few people know that the reason why Hong Yide looked at Ma Liang differently was because Ma Liang was loyal to him and could help him with things he couldn't do, so he treated him with some excessive behavior on weekdays. Open your eyes, close your eyes.

Some information was caught in the conversation of the Beibei people, that is, Hong Yide has not suspected that Ma Liang will betray him for the time being, so his brother is still safe.

Beibei saw that the two uncles became nervous when they heard a few people mentioning "Treasurer Hong", so she hurriedly put vegetables in their bowls, and smiled at them comfortingly: "Uncle, Uncle, let's rest after eating." I will continue to look for it in a while, and try to find the shop in these two days."

Seeing Beibei's calm expression, the two relaxed a little.

Those few had enough to eat and drink, and let Xiao Er serve tea, and drank tea leisurely, apparently had no intention of going out to find anyone again.

Beibei and the three rested for more than two quarters of an hour after eating and then left the teahouse.

As soon as they left the teahouse, Feng Yong and Feng Ping let out a long sigh of relief, they were really worried about Luqian just now.

Seeing this, Beibei just smiled secretly, and then walked towards West Street.

Beibei's original intention was to find a common people's yard in the area behind East Street as a storefront, but there was no vacant yard in this area, so he had to see if there was any on West Street.

If there is no one on West Street, then we have to find another way.

As for North Street and South Street, Beibei was not considered.

Because North Street is a place for brothels, casinos, etc., if she places her shop there, it will definitely discourage many people, and it may damage her reputation; while South Street is a place where rich people spend money. The house behind the street is basically occupied by dignitaries, let alone whether there is a vacant yard over there, even if there is, the price is definitely not so expensive.

The three of them wandered the West Street all afternoon, only seeing two vacant yards, and the locations were not ideal, but Beibei decided to go back to these two vacant yards to take a look as he had no other choice.

But who would have thought that when they returned, one of the owners had just received the deposit and rented out the yard, while the owner of the other yard said that there were still some things in the yard that had not been moved to the new home, and asked them to come back tomorrow. People had to return disappointed.

The next day they went to West Street after breakfast, and found that the yard was locked, and they waited in front of the yard until noon, when the owner of the house did not come, and the three of them were a little discouraged.

"Hey, it's hard work!" Beibei said comfortingly.

"Beibei, why don't we go home for lunch and come back after a rest." Feng Yong said.

In the past two days, Beibei said that the weather was too hot to walk so far home for dinner, and he ate outside. Every time he saw Beibei pay the bill, Feng Ping felt sorry for Beibei.

"Okay." Beibei nodded, the first two uncles were also exhausted in the past two days, it would be good to let them go back to sleep at noon.

What they never expected was that when they came in the afternoon, the owner of the yard came, but the owner's relatives and a large family came with the owner, and the owner said that he would lend the yard to himself Relatives are staying temporarily, so I don't rent it anymore.

"You didn't rent this yard, why didn't you say it earlier?! Why did you ask us to come here today?!"

Beibei was so angry, the three of them had traveled so many times on such a hot day, and now they were told that the yard would not be rented. Isn't this just playing tricks on them?
"Girl, I'm so sorry, we were planning to rent the yard to you, but my cousin came to me this morning and said that his earthen house has collapsed and there is no place to live. I can't look at their family Are you living on the street?" The owner said apologetically.

If the owner of the house was justified, Beibei could argue with him, but he lowered his posture and explained the reason to her. If she continued to make trouble, it would seem a little unreasonable.

Beibei glanced angrily into the yard, and followed the two uncles back.

When they reached the East Street, Beibei went into a grain and oil store and bought a few catties of mung beans and rock sugar, planning to go back and make mung bean soup to relieve the fire.
