When the old woman in the yard heard this, she looked a little embarrassed.
She said awkwardly, "Sir, please take a seat first. I'll go take a look."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the door.
Si Jinxing continued to watch Mo Qiu roast chicken and rabbit, and talked to the little girl.
Gu Keying was only eight years old. Smelling the aroma of barbecue, she unconsciously moved closer and quickly became familiar with the little girl.
The little girl blinked her big eyes and asked, "Sister, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you!"
Gu Keying had always been laughed at by others, but now that she was cared for by a little sister, she smiled and said:
"It doesn't hurt, it's just a little ugly, but it's nothing serious, it will be fine in the future."
Seeing this, Cao was very pleased. This child had not liked to talk to others since he was a child because of the dark spots on his face.
Now, although there are several bags on her face and she looks very ugly, she can feel that her daughter seems to smile more than before!
But at this moment, the man's rude and rude voice came from outside the door:
"Mrs. Feng, this is just you being unrealistic!
Since there are important people who want to live in the yard, why don’t you let them live in my house?
So you want to earn this money yourself?
Don’t you see that your cramped little yard is not big enough?
The three rooms in my house are more than enough for you to live in! Come on, my dear friends, come with me to live in my house, won’t you?
As the man spoke, he forced his way into the yard.
Bai Xi, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, glanced at his princess and saw her nod, so he didn't try to stop her.
Seeing this, Qing Chan said seriously, "Who is this person?"
As the man came in, he saw several people sitting in the yard by the light of the torch.
I saw that the clothes on those people were not very bright and colorful, but I could tell at a glance that they were not made of good materials that ordinary people could afford!
Especially the pretty girl in the middle, the cloak she is wearing looks very expensive!
And the woman next to her looks like a pampered lady.
What's more, they have maids and attendants to serve them!
If we can entertain this family of distinguished guests well, then why should we worry about having no food to eat this winter?
He glanced at the rack in the corner, where the barbecue was sizzling with oil and emitting a strange and rich aroma.
How long has it been since he tasted meat?
Hearing the girl asking questions, he quickly retracted his gaze and said loudly:
"My name is Zhao Zhuang. Before the disaster, my father was the head of the village, and my home was not far ahead.
I heard that you would like to stay overnight in the village. I am a very hospitable person, so I came here to invite you to stay overnight at my home!"
Qingchan frowned and refused:
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao, but my master has already made an agreement with Aunt Feng and will not go to your house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qingchan finished speaking, Zhao Zhuang on the other side refused to do so!
He glanced at the nearly roasted chicken and shouted:
"My father was the head of the village. Even though he is no longer with us, I will have the final say in this village from now on!
You guys are a bunch of outsiders, don't you understand what it means to be at the host's convenience?
If you don't agree, then don't stay in the village for the night and keep going!"
Si Jinxing, who was sitting next to him, heard this and was about to ask him a few questions when he saw two people running in from outside.
One of them was a woman in tattered clothes. Her hair was a little messy, her right cheek was a little red and swollen, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
The most eye-catching thing is that her waist and belly are round, and she looks like she is five or six months pregnant!
The other one was a little girl with two buns on her head, about five or six years old. She was about the same age as Aunt Feng’s granddaughter!
As soon as the young woman entered the yard, she nodded nervously in the direction of Si Jinxing as a greeting.
Then, she walked up to the man and said humbly:
"Boss, please go home and have dinner. Don't disturb the nobles here."
Zhao Zhuang glanced at the beautiful girl with picturesque eyes and eyebrows sitting in the yard, then glanced at his bloated, disheveled wife, and his face suddenly fell!
He said with a look of disgust:
"Why are you leaving? I'm here to have dinner with you all and then we'll go back together!
"What are you doing out here? You're embarrassing yourself! Go back and clean up the house!"
Zi Su stepped forward and said:
"It's true that this young man's father is the village head, but there are only a few families in the village now. How can you have the final say?"
Seeing this, Zhao Zhuang's wife held her waist and said timidly:
"Master, it's obvious that these nobles are not ordinary people. It's better for us to keep out of trouble."
Unexpectedly, it would have been better if the woman hadn't said anything. As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped by Zhao Zhuang!
Seeing this, Mrs. Feng hurried forward to help the woman who had fallen to the ground up, saying:
"Brother Zhuang, Liu Mei is still pregnant, what are you doing?"
The woman called Liu Mei held her belly with one hand and wiped away her tears with the other, saying:
"Aunt, it's my fault that I didn't stand steadily. Don't blame him."
Seeing this, Si Jinxing was really worried about Liu Mei!
How can I let him have a child with this thing?
She gave Qingchan a look, telling him that it would be better to stay away from such a scoundrel.
Qing Chan took out a few ounces of silver, handed it to Liu Mei, and said:
"We won't stay in your house anymore. Take the money and go back quickly."
When Zhao Zhuang saw this, he immediately snatched the silver from Liu Mei's hand!
This family is indeed not an ordinary family. They can spend one or two taels of silver at will!
Enough for him to eat white rice for two or three months!
He had just seen clearly that among this group of people, the one who had the most power to make decisions was the young girl!
Zhao Zhuang thought so and took a few steps forward, but was stopped by the woman in black who handed over the silver.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhuang just smiled and said, "Since the noble man has given you money, why don't you go and stay?"
As he spoke, he took steps forward, which made Si Jinxing very annoyed.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Take the silver and get out!"
When these words were spoken, Zhao Zhuang was stunned. He never expected that the elegant and dignified young woman would have such a hot temper!
He paused, glanced around the yard with a shifty look, and then said goodbye and left.
But when he walked to his daughter's side, he used his clothes to cover his face and pinched the child's arm hard!
The child cried out in pain, and Zhao Zhuang scolded him:
"What are you going to eat, you loser? You see others eating meat, and you dare to ask for it? Go home with your poor mother!"
Seeing the child crying, Cao couldn't help but feel distressed, and kept thinking of her own daughter Yingying crying when she was young.
She looked at Si Jinxing and asked hesitantly, "Miss... County, why don't you give the child some food?"
She said this with some lack of confidence, after all, the food and drink for her and her daughter were now provided by the county lady.
Si Jinxing glanced at Zhao Zhuang, who looked like a rogue, then turned to look at Mo Qiu and said:
"Is it ready? Take off a chicken leg and give it to the child."
