Chapter 89: Erya is in trouble
Lu Qiniang was setting up her stall as usual.
Xiao Yan was also helping.
Lu Qiniang also said to him, "Don't you need to go and take care of Liu Xing's affairs? It's not good to stay here all the time. We are still living in Liu Xing's house, and he also gives you five taels of silver a month..."
"It's okay, I've done everything I need to do." Xiao Yan skillfully wrapped the fried dough twists with oil paper.
In addition to dry food, some food that can be stored for a short period of time is also added so that it can be eaten on board.
"It's easy for smart people to make money." Lu Qiniang sighed, "I remember that Wan, Wan whatever, was Liu Xing's mortal enemy..."
"Cheng Jiuwan."
"Right, right, right. Cheng Jiuwan, didn't he lead others in a fight with Liu Xing a few days ago? Has he been behaving himself lately?"
"Not very honest, ready to make a move." Xiao Yan was waiting.
Hit the snake at its most vulnerable point and strive to hit it with one strike.
"Stupid, why are you still moving?" Lu Qiniang muttered, "You're asking for trouble."
Xiao Yan had become accustomed to her "alternative interpretations", so he smiled knowingly and continued working.
Lu Qiniang looked at his profile, watching his slender fingers flexibly tying the straw rope, and couldn't help muttering, "He's so handsome and smart, I don't know who will get him in the future. Wouldn't he wake up laughing in his dreams?"
"You don't laugh when you're dreaming." Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing.
It seemed like Lu Qinniang was not used to facing up to their current relationship and always wanted to find someone else for him.
He will not divorce his wife and remarry.
"You're not mine, why am I laughing? Hey, here you are, what do you want?"
When a customer came to the stall, Lu Qiniang immediately greeted them warmly, "Fried noodles, leavened bread, fried cakes, big twists, pickles, juicy salted duck eggs, what would you like? Try it first, then buy. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay."
The person who came was a woman. Her eyes kept wandering on Xiao Yan, and she seemed to be oblivious to what Lu Qiniang said.
Lu Qiniang was not surprised and said with a smile, "My husband won't sell it."
The woman blushed and said, "Sister, you are so lucky."
She bought something and left in a hurry.
Lu Qiniang laughed and teased Xiao Yan, "Little God, you hang here to attract men, and you stand here to attract women, hahahaha..."
Xiao Yan looked at her and said, "I will practice hard."
I hope I can attract you one day.
Lu Qinniang laughed so hard that she fell over, "No, no, no, we don't sell our bodies or our smiles."
It’s fine if I sell it to you, Xiao Yan said silently in his heart.
While they were chatting and laughing, someone suddenly came to find Lu Qiniang.
"Hurry and go to the Rouge Shop. Something happened to your daughter there!"
Lu Qiniang was so frightened when she heard this that she grabbed the man's arm and asked, "What happened to my Erya? What happened to Erya?"
"She broke the most expensive rose water in the store."
Lu Qiniang felt relieved.
It's okay.
It wasn't that something happened to Erya, it was that she made a mistake because of her clumsiness.
But the next words made her heart jump again.
"That's the rouge shop's treasured possession. One bottle costs two hundred taels of silver, and it was a tribute, so it was hard to get. The boss doesn't even know how much compensation he'll ask you to pay! Go and beg for mercy."
"Two hundred taels of silver?" Lu Qiniang was shocked. "Wouldn't Erya be scared to death?"
She immediately ran to the rouge shop.
It’s okay, it’s okay. Mom will compensate you with two hundred taels of silver.
She had to go quickly, otherwise Erya would be so scared.
That child is a chatterbox and has a bad temper, but he's not very courageous.
Don't look at her yelling, but she only has one move: I'll drag you to death and die in front of you.
Lu Qiniang was really afraid that something would happen to her.
Xiao Yan asked Daya and Sanya to look after the shop. After catching up with Lu Qiniang, he said, "We don't have to worry about money or anything else. I'll go take a look first."
"Okay, go now!"
Xiao Yan ran much faster than her and disappeared in a flash.
Lu Qiniang was no longer as panicked as before.
Now that Xiao Yan arrives, Erya should not be afraid anymore.
When Xiao Yan arrived, Erya was kneeling on the ground with another girl of similar age.
The two of them lowered their heads and cried uncontrollably. The shopkeeper's face was ashen, and he held a feather duster in his hand. From time to time, he hit the two of them, cursing, "Little whores, even if I sell you all, it won't be enough to pay the compensation. Just wait to be sold into a brothel!"
"That's enough." Xiao Yan grabbed the shopkeeper's hand and lifted Erya up from the ground with his other hand. "We're here to work, not to sell ourselves to you. Even if you broke something, we'll compensate you. You can't hit or scold my daughter."
"Dad, Dad," Erya threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms and burst into tears. She was really scared. "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me... It was her. She was the one who deliberately caused trouble. She was the one who started it, and she was the one who started it first. That's why I started fighting with her."
"It's okay." Xiao Yan patted her on the back and said in a deep voice, "Whether you do right or wrong, the rewards and punishments are mine. If others want to bully you, it's absolutely impossible."
"Dad, we can't pay. It's not my fault. I'm willing to go to court with her and let the judge be the judge."
Give her justice!
The family has no money to pay compensation, even at the original price, we cannot afford it.
She pleaded not guilty.
She was innocent to begin with.
She didn't want to be sold into a brothel.
"Erya, don't cry. Tell Dad what happened. Dad will only listen to you. No matter what you say, I will believe you. You don't have to worry about there being no witnesses. Just tell the truth. Dad is here and will not let you suffer any injustice."
"Erya, Erya!" Lu Qin's mother also rushed over, holding the door and breathing heavily, her heart almost jumping out of her chest from running.
"Mom!" Erya's eyes were filled with tears. "I'm sorry, Mom. I, I really didn't mean to cause trouble for the family. She was really targeting me and bullying me."
"Okay, okay, don't cry. As long as you're okay, that's all. What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, I'm still here! Isn't it just paying money? I'll find a way, good boy. Don't cry. Crying doesn't look good."
Lu Qiniang stepped forward and wiped Erya's tears with a handkerchief.
She and Xiao Yan protected Erya in the middle.
For Erya, the memory of this day is unforgettable.
She knew that as long as her parents were there and the sky was not falling, everything could be solved.
