Nongmen space small landlord

Chapter 3

Marven Ye, who had been sleeping in a daze, woke up immediately when he heard that his mother had come again, and the first thing he said when he opened the door was, "Quanzi, are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true. I ran into them early when I came out. Your mother is negotiating the price with the Yamen from the neighboring village. You listen to me and take Ah Qiu to hide."

Everyone in the village knows that the old lady of the Ye family is not a good person. Ye Wentian is usually suppressed to death. Now that the old lady heard the rumors in the village that Ah Qiu has an incurable disease, she decided to sell it first, and Ye Wentian was alone. How can a frail scholar stand in the way.

He and Ye Wentian grew up together, if it wasn't for this relationship, he wouldn't risk offending the old lady to spread the word.

"I see, go, yes, I will take Aqiu to the county right now!" After speaking, he entered the room and called his daughter.

Ye Qiu had been woken up by the knocking on the door. As soon as his father spoke, she pretended to have just woken up and sat up, deliberately asking, "What's wrong, Dad?"

Although it was pretending, the little girl who just woke up still had foggy eyes, looking at the cuteness and cuteness, Ye Wentian's heart melted instantly.

"Didn't Dad say to find food for Ah Qiu, let's go eat delicious food early!" When Ye Wentian said this, his face was embarrassed and guilty. He probably felt that his daughter was young and did not hide it, but he didn't know that his daughter had already seen him through. lie.

Ye Qiu complained in his heart, but nodded in agreement, "Then let's go quickly, Dad, I'm so hungry."

The eight-year-old girl's voice was still immature and even softer when she spoke, and Ye Wentian felt even more sour when she spoke.

Seeing his daughter's thin body, Ye Wentian nodded, tidied up, took his daughter's hand and went out the door.

Not long after they left, the old lady of the Ye family came over with the dentist and the thugs.

He knocked on the door aggressively and yelled, but no one responded for a long time. The tooth man glanced through the window and said, "There is no one in the house. Where can your son go early in the morning?"

Mrs. Ye didn't expect to be in vain. It was as if the money in her hand was about to fly away. She was in a very unpleasant mood. "I was here all day yesterday. He should have gone to the county. He has something to do in the county."

Yaren was also not very happy, "Then why didn't you say earlier, it's a long way to go to the county, you must get up early and leave, isn't this just a trip for us?"

She really didn't care when her son woke up, but when someone mentioned it, Mrs. Ye's face turned pale.

He could only smile awkwardly, "Or at night, I will definitely come back at night."

"Forget it, if you see someone looking for me again, you can save money and run away. As long as there is someone here, I can still take a little girl away." Yaren looked at the two thugs he brought. If there are many such incidents of resistance, a beating will be honest.

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Ye also heaved a sigh of relief. Although she was in vain, the matter was settled. It would be a matter of time before she sold that girl. Anyway, she took the deposit.

Ye Qiu, who didn't know that half of the sale had already been made, was struggling to keep up with her father's footsteps.

It takes an hour to walk to the county. She has short calves, has no strength, and has a careless father who only wants to walk by herself. She was sweating all the way in the cold weather.

I don't know how many days of unwashed clothes are mixed with hot sweat, and Ye Qiu feels tormenting when he smells it.

After finally arriving at the county government office, as she had guessed, the delicious food Ye Wentian promised was a lie. He had to go to work first, and he could give Ye Qiufen some food after lunch.

Ye Qiu was hidden and brought into the county government office, and could only stand closely with Ye Wentian. Her feet wrapped in the holed cloth shoes were so cold that they were numb to the point of numbness, and she had to endure the cold wind coming in from the gate, just for a while. She shuddered several times.

Looking at his own father who was completely forgetting himself when flipping through the text, Ye Qiu had already given up hope in him.

She quietly left the county government office. When the two elder brothers at the door saw her, they glanced at her and then looked away. Although they didn't say anything, the pickiness in their eyes was obvious.

Ye Qiu pretended not to see it.

"That's Ye Wentian's daughter, right? Why did you make people look like this? No wonder the mother-in-law ran away. If he loses his job again this time, wouldn't the older and younger starve to death?"

"Then who is to blame, my lord made him mess up the calculations. I heard that a big man is coming here today, and I will see it at that time. It's good that my lord didn't kill him."

"Hey, I knew it would be better to find a serious teacher back then, but this one still won't work!"

Ye Qiu, who hadn't gone far, could clearly hear the voices of the yamen servants discussing in his ears. Just as he was surprised that his hearing was so good, he heard that his father was about to be resigned.

Although the family is poor, they all depend on Ye Wentian's work to survive. If his job is lost...

Ye Qiu paused, and walked away with a frown. She'd better solve her personal problems first.

She was a dirty little girl who didn't attract anyone's attention. Ye Qiu also knew how to take advantage of her age and ran around to inquire. Although those people thought she was too stinky, they also said a few words. A lot of effort to know some information.

Xinghua Village belongs to Tengchun County where Ye Qiu is now. The county magistrate is a foreigner who has been transferred. He has been in office for less than three years, and the management is quite good.

Tengchun County is small, with dozens of villages, large and small, with a total population of less than 5000. They are poor and backward. It is said that the previous county magistrate could not stand poverty and resigned.

There is not much useful information, and she knows even less about this world. Anyway, she compared it, and it is different from the historical dynasties in her memory, which means that there is no need to worry about falling into the cracks of history.

I don't know if it is because of the cold weather, but there are not many people walking on the street, and the shop next to it is open, but deserted.

"What are you looking at, it's rolling, it smells like a beggar..." The thick and rough bun seller chased away Ye Qiu like a fly.

But he didn't see that the little girl wasn't paying attention to the steaming steamed buns at all, she seemed to be in a daze in amazement.

Ye Qiu hadn't realized it at all. She had just passed the steamed stuffed bun shop and subconsciously walked over, but she found that the food looked very good, and she didn't even have the slightest appetite!

The bad premonition was confirmed little by little, and Ye Qiu's heart sank.

She looked back blankly, with a trace of melancholy in her eyes that didn't match her age.

But at this moment, Ye Qiu's body shook.

A strong aroma came out.

Traveling through the past few days, she has never been so eager for food like this moment. The aroma makes her blood boil, and she can't wait to eat it immediately. All her thoughts express one meaning, she wants to eat.

She almost followed her instinct and turned around to look for it. As soon as she lifted her foot, she bumped into something. She reflexively grabbed the object she hit to keep her balance. When she touched the heat, she paused. It was also this hesitation. She heard a sound coming from above her head. A disgusted voice, "Let go!"

Ye Qiu frowned and looked at it, his eyes locked on a certain place in an instant, and he blurted out almost unconsciously, "You smell so good!"

　Ye Qiu: You smell so delicious, give me a bite!
