Chapter 45 Cruel and ruthless
"Sister Luoxia, go get some work!"
"Well, dig some wild vegetables."
"Don't be too hardworking, the sun is a bit hot."
"Got it, I'll be careful, thank you, auntie."
...
Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, a group of people were chatting.
Everyone who passed by was commented on.
Watching Qin Luoxia's figure going away.
People started to speak up one after another: "Jiang Laoer has married a good wife. She is so capable and hardworking."
"She has a good temper and never gets angry with anyone." "
She has a good personality, too."
"I would say she is too good-tempered and too decent."
"It's not decent, it's stupid. There is such a big house in the county town. If it were me, I would go and make a fuss, cry and make a fuss, and I would always get something good."
"Tsk, the rich and powerful are very deep, what do you know?"
"I heard that Jiang Laoer was kicked out of the house because he poisoned his father to death~"
"Hiss, that won't happen, Jiang Laoer is not that kind of person."
"That's what I heard. It is said that his father was seriously ill, and Jiang Laoer accidentally poured out his father's medicine. Then the child didn't understand and replaced it with something else. His father drank it and died."
"Ah~"
"Hiss~"
...
There are many versions of Jiang Laoer in the village, and this is just one of them.
The main thing is that Jiang Laoer was originally a rich man, but ended up being as miserable as them, or even more miserable. After all, Jiang Laoer was not good at anything, he couldn't farm, carry manure, or cut down trees. Such a person would starve to death.
But Jiang Laoer was educated after all, and the villagers still had a natural respect for educated people.
And at first, they thought that there was no overnight hatred between mother and son, and Jiang Laoer might go back to the big house someday.
People were also jealous that Qin Luoxia, an orphan from outside, could marry Jiang Laoer.
In the village, there are all kinds of things.
As a result, after so many years, Jiang Laoer had children and found a job. Like them, they got used to it. They would tease Jiang Laoer and say sour words behind his back, but they also accepted them.
After all, Jiang Laoer and Qin Luoxia were very good people. Whenever anyone in the village had problems, they were willing to lend a hand and help.
Jiang Laoer also knew a little about medicine, so everyone would ask him for help when they had a headache or fever.
Jiang Laoer didn't charge money, but told them how to get herbs.
The couple had a good reputation in the village.
When they heard this version, everyone was shocked, but few people believed it.
And some people came out to refute the rumor.
The drunken Yan Lao San, who was leaning against a big tree, cursed: "Nonsense, a wealthy family, with so many servants and maids, and a child can make medicine and change it for the patient to drink, and no one cares, it's just a rumor." Everyone
's attention turned to Lao San again.
Lao San was also a famous figure in the village. He
was also an outsider, fleeing from famine.
As a result, his mother fled here, left him behind, and ran away with another group of refugees.
The villagers felt sorry for him, and he was smart, helping out everywhere to make a living.
He grew up like this.
After growing up, the villagers will definitely not help him anymore, and he has good hands and feet, so he has to work on his own.
Yan Laosan is a lazy guy. He works and gets food, but he only eats until he is full. He never does more.
He doesn't marry. He is old and is considered an idle man in the village.
He doesn't have any bad habits like stealing or cheating. He just likes to sing after eating and drinking. He sings very well.
Everyone makes fun of him. As a grown man, he should just go out to sing.
Of course, asking people to sing is an insult. Although the villagers are poor, they still look down on those who sing.
Yan Laosan does his own thing. His hair is messy. After eating and drinking, he lies under a tree. At night, he finds a broken house to lie down.
He starts to refute the rumors, but people laugh at him again.
"Yan Lao San, you are a refugee, how do you know what a rich family is? You have never been to a rich family."
"Lao San told me that you should drink less, save some money, and find a wife..."
Yan Lao San waved his hand, disliked the noise, and ran away stumbling.
His hair was messy, his beard was messy, his clothes were messy, and his figure was staggering.
Everyone burst into laughter.
A young wife whispered in the laughter: "Yan Lao San should look good after cleaning up."
...
"He County."
"He County."
"He County is not far."
Qin Luoxia left the village, and her figure became faster and faster.
The shadow staggered and could not keep up with her body.
She held her breath and ran to He County.
She had thought it all out last night, thinking all night about which way to go the fastest and still get back in time to breastfeed.
As they got closer to He County, they gradually saw people.
The sun was scorching, but people were still working in the fields.
He County was obviously richer than theirs, with flat and fertile fields.
The water was abundant.
Qin Luoxia dressed herself up as a farmer's wife, with a cloth wrapped around her head, so that her face couldn't be seen from the front.
She walked with her head down, shoulders hunched, and a bit timid.
Apparently, the news that the peddler and his wife were kidnappers had not yet spread here.
He County was a large county town, and the surrounding area was wealthy. The county town was also obviously much wealthier, and the streets were twice as wide.
Qin Luoxia walked around the county town, and finally squatted in a corner, gnawing on dry steamed buns, one bite at a time.
Opposite the corner where she was squatting was a secret prostitute working in a dirt kiln.
During the day, the door was occasionally opened a few times.
The disheveled young lady opened and closed the door numbly.
Occasionally, there were sounds of beating, scolding and crying from inside.
"You dare to steal food when you are ridden by thousands of people? If you dare to eat one more bite of steamed bun, I will break your legs today."
"You must spread your legs for me even if you are sick to death. Do you think you are still a young lady?"
Qin Luoxia squatted in the corner of the wall, swallowing steamed buns one bite at a time.
She didn't drink water, and the steamed buns made her eyes hurt.
Maybe Qin Luoxia squatted for too long, and a man came out and chased her away.
"Who are you, beggar? This is not the place for you. Get out."
The man raised his foot to kick.
Qin Luoxia got out before the other party took a step.
The figure looked like a wolf, and stumbled away.
After leaving here, Qin Luoxia found the entrance of an alley again. She put the basket in front of her and pretended to sell herbs.
There were several children playing in the alley.
Among them, there was a chubby child, who was very strong, with a chubby face and arms, but he must be stupid. Other children bullied him from time to time, and the new clothes made of good fabrics he wore soon got dirty.
The fat child didn't know how to hide, and laughed foolishly when he was beaten.
When he laughed, he looked especially like the peddler.
The face was exactly the same.
The peddler was a dwarf.
The fat child was not, he was healthy, but stupid.
Qin Luoxia could imagine how ecstatic a dwarf would be if he could give birth to a healthy boy.
The children were fighting and making noises, and the adults were chatting on the side, as if they were used to it.
The fat kid didn't know he was being beaten, and was playing well with other kids, always moving closer to them.
As a result, one of the kids couldn't control his legs and kicked him in the back, knocking the fat kid to the ground and flying far away.
An old woman who was eating melon seeds at the wall shouted, "Stop hitting him, if you do, his father will come back and catch you and sell you!"
This is always used to scare the kids in the alley. The kids were scared at first, after all, dwarfs were still a little scary, but after being scared so many times, they were no longer afraid, and ran away laughing.
The old woman didn't come to help the fat kid, and continued to chat with others. She was hired to take care of the fat kid, and she was used to it.
It's normal for kids to bump into things, especially a stupid one.
The fat kid was kicked in front of Qin Luoxia.
The other children continued to play and make noise.
The old woman was chatting with people in the corner, fanning herself and enjoying the cool air.
The little fat boy was really fat, with plump elbows and round fingers with hollows. It was obvious that
he ate well. It was impossible to feed such a fat child without meat. Qin Luoxia helped the fallen fat boy up and gently patted the dust off his body.
Qin Luoxia's hands were very light.
She saw that he bumped and had a nosebleed.
She gently wiped it for him.
Maybe she was also strong and a bit like his mother.
The little fat boy smiled foolishly. He
drooled as he laughed .
He looked at the woman in front of him and shouted: "Mom, I want to eat, it's delicious."
