Chapter 12 The Little Lucky Star of the Family
Feng Shi was alerted when she heard this.
Did they really kidnap the child?
She looked carefully again. Although the boy in front of her was changed into cloth clothes, he was very fair and clean, and his hair was tied with a brocade jade belt. He was definitely not raised by that sloppy woman.
Feng Shi could not help but get angry.
Dare to steal a child? Eat a big beating from her first!
She picked up a big radish from the vegetable stall next to her and threw it at the woman.
"You beggar, let the child go!"
"Ouch." The woman was almost hit in the head and fell to the ground with her head covered in pain.
Before she could see who hit her, Feng Shi had already rushed to her, grabbed her collar, and slapped her twice.
"Tell me, are your whole family so hungry that they are about to go to hell? How dare you steal someone's child and make this dirty money? If you don't do good deeds for yourself, you should at least do good deeds for your descendants. Aren't you afraid that all the children born in your family will be without anus?"
The wretched woman was spit on and received spit all over her face. She thought that Feng knew the child she stole.
So she didn't dare to be stubborn and could only half-kneel on the ground to beg for mercy.
Seeing that she admitted it, Feng put her hands on her waist and shouted, "Come on, come on, come and see, there is a beggar here!"
"In broad daylight, this conscienceless person dares to stretch his hands to the child. Everyone, you have to keep an eye on your children."
When the people around heard that a trafficker appeared in the city, how could they bear it? They rushed over and surrounded him.
"Dare to kidnap a child?" Someone glared.
"Hit her!" Someone else cursed angrily.
People hate traffickers the most. They are all parents. If someone's family suffers from such a disaster, it would be a painful pain.
So Feng didn't need to do anything else. The woman was so scared that she wet her pants and soon screamed.
At this time, Jiang Fenghu bought rice and came out of the grain store.
Feng asked him to put down the rice: "Huzi, go to the government and report to the officials that there are traffickers here. Then ask the officials to see if anyone in the city has just lost a child."
Thinking that the child's bun is not bad, he should be from a wealthy family.
If this rich man encounters this, he will report it to the officials immediately, and it should not be difficult to find his family.
Jiang Fenghu responded in a rough voice and ran quickly towards the government office.
Not long after, when Jiang Fenghu came back, he was followed by not only the government officials but also a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes.
The evil woman had been beaten to a pulp.
She was now lying on the ground vomiting blood.
The officers and soldiers stepped forward and dragged the woman away, and the man who came with her also ran over and picked up the child on the ground.
The already weak young man was tortured by the traffickers and is still unconscious.
Little Nuobao felt so distressed when he saw this.
The cute little pot suffered.
Seeing that the child's family had been found, Feng Shi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave with her daughter.
Who knew that at this moment, the man called Feng Shi.
"Madam, please stay." He walked forward quickly and bowed: "I heard that you just saved my child, please accept my greeting."
After that, the man straightened his slightly messy clothes and bowed three times respectfully.
Feng saw that his eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was unstable, which showed that he was worried about the child.
She helped him up and smiled: "Why are you being polite? It's just a casual thing. Your child must have been scared. Take him back to rest."
The man did not leave immediately after hearing this.
He took out a small stack of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed it into Feng's hand.
"This is a great favor, I must thank you greatly. But this time I came to Yuncheng from another place to buy things, because I bought too many things, I don't have much money left, so these are all I have for now, I hope you don't mind."
Feng looked at her palm in a daze.
It was a banknote...
She quickly rejected it and said, "Take the money back quickly. I just couldn't bear to see the child suffer, so I just said it casually. It's not worth the money."
But the man shook his head and said in a very persistent tone, "If you don't take it, I will always miss your kindness, and I will be unable to sleep and eat well after I go back."
Feng paused.
She quickly scanned the clothes of the person in front of her. They were all the best silk fabrics, and the patterns were novel and noble. He must be a rich man.
These banknotes should be nothing to others.
If she refused to accept them again and again, it would be pretentious, as if she was being polite in order to ask for more, or wanted others to owe her a favor.
So Feng had to withdraw her hand and put the banknotes away: "Okay, then I'll take these, so you can rest assured."
The middle-aged man felt much more comfortable when he saw Feng's straightforwardness.
He looked at his nephew in his arms again and gently tightened his arms.
As the eldest son of the Han family, the largest imperial merchant in the capital, he originally came here to purchase for the palace, but he saw that his nephew Xiao Yi's health was getting worse day by day, and he was depressed at home all day, so he thought of taking the child out for some fresh air.
But he never thought that he was busy and negligent for a while, and a trafficker took advantage of the opportunity and stole the child from the inn.
Han Shang couldn't help but feel scared.
If it weren't for the help of this peasant woman, he couldn't find his little baby, Xiao Da, at home. How could he have the face to go back to Beijing to see his mother?
It would be better to just jump off a cliff in Yuncheng...
Han Shang thought about it and felt more grateful. He
just regretted that he didn't bring enough banknotes, so he couldn't give Feng more for the time being.
Just at this time, he saw the rice bag at Jiang Fenghu's feet, and his eyes lit up and said to Feng: "By the way, where do you live? I bought extra food when I went shopping. In addition to this banknote, I would like to give you two carts of rice and one cart of soybeans as a thank you."
In a famine year, the most important thing is food.
It's even more so for ordinary people.
Han Shang knew that it wouldn't be long before the entire Nan Ji Kingdom would be running out of food and going crazy...
Hearing that there were three carts of grain, Feng was immediately moved.
She didn't care about being polite, so she responded excitedly: "My family lives in Daliu Village outside the city. When you enter the village, just ask for Jiang Laosan's family. You are a generous person. I am grateful to you here."
Han Shang smiled and hugged his nephew tightly in his arms: "Then when my Yi'er is better, I will go to your house in person to thank you."
At this time, Xiao Nuobao leaned half of his body out, and when Han Shang was not prepared, he stretched out his hand to poke Xiao Yi's cheek.
Pale and bloodless.
But soft and elastic...
Xiao Nuobao smacked his fingers regretfully.
Alas, this handsome little brother was originally a strong man.
But his luck was changed by the theft, not only did his family suffer a lot of bad luck, but his health also plummeted.
Just at this time, Han Shang took out a jade pendant for protection and wanted to put it on his nephew.
Xiao Nuobao saw at a glance that this thing was the medium for smuggling and was the source of the trouble!
She kicked her short legs anxiously and shouted in distress: "You can't wear this jade... As long as you don't wear it, Xiao Guoguo will get better soon!"
Han Shang was happy to hear others say that his nephew's health would get better.
He couldn't help but feel happy when he heard it.
So he touched Xiao Nuobao's head and threw the jade to the servant.
"Haha, okay, then uncle will lend it to you, little girl, for good luck."
As for this protective jade, it was given by an outsider anyway, so it doesn't matter if you don't want it.
Xiao Nuobao smoothed her chest and couldn't help pouting again.
"Well, I won't wear it! It would be better if I could crush it and wash it..."
Han Shang was amused by her little appearance.
He took the jade with a smile, and actually stomped it into several pieces on the ground as if it was not an appropriate thing.
"Okay, I'll wash it." Han Shang coaxed Nuobao by imitating the pronunciation of Nuobao.
Seeing this, little Nuobao was finally relieved.
She smiled and looked at the backs of Han Shang and his nephew as they left.
Goodbye, little Guoguo, wait until you grow up quickly, and Nuobao will have a big thigh to hug!
After Han Shang and the others left, Feng's mother and three daughters took the rice and banknotes and dared not walk around anymore. They followed the village chief's ox cart and returned to Daliu Village.
After arriving home, Feng hurriedly took out the banknotes and counted them in the yard.
There were a total of six in front of her.
One of them was worth one hundred taels.
The other five were worth eighty taels.
Adding them together, it was a full five hundred taels!
Mrs. Feng held the banknotes, and her calves were shaking for a moment. She had lived for almost half her life, and she had never seen so much money!
She was actually being polite to others just now, and I don’t know what she was pretending to be...
At this time, Jiang Fengnian and Sun Chunxue were just leaving the house. When they saw their mother holding the banknotes, they couldn’t help but sit on the ground.
"Mom, where did you get all this money? Don’t scare your son." Jiang Fengnian rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"Such a lot of money... Did you pick it up or rob it?" Sun Chunxue's face turned pale.
Mrs. Feng knew that the wall of her courtyard was low, and she was afraid that someone would hear it, so she quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.
"Keep your voices down!"
"This banknote was brought to our Wang by your sister!"
