Chapter 119: Twists and turns
Qin Huiyin got on the ox cart and handed him a basket.
There were five jars of sauce in the basket.
"You eat first, I'll send it to you next time."
Tang Yichen took it and when he lowered his eyes, he accidentally saw another basket, which contained ten cans of seasoning sauce.
Those clay jars of seasoning sauce are twice as big as the ones sold here, which means that even if you eat this bottle of sauce with every meal, in big gulps, it will take you ten days.
Tang Yichen almost knew who those pottery jars were for. It was precisely because he knew that he had an idea in his mind - his sister liked the other brother more.
If not, why prepare more and bigger things for that person?
Qin Huiyin noticed that Tang Yichen was in a daze, so she followed his gaze and saw another basket she had prepared.
"Brother Ruize has a few friends who have particularly big appetites. I have to prepare more, otherwise there won't be enough for them."
"That's as it should be." Tang Yichen smiled. "After all, my brother has too many classmates. If everyone eats for free, there won't be enough to share. My sister is really thoughtful."
Qin Huiyin: “…”
It was her negligence.
My eldest brother had just arrived at this academy. In modern times, he would be called a transfer student. Such students would be very embarrassed in the class because their old friends were not there and the new classmates might not be willing to accept the sudden addition of someone.
She took out three cans and put them in his basket, saying, "Seven bottles are enough for them to eat for a few days. I'll send more next time. Brother, don't be stingy. If someone wants to eat, please let them have a taste."
"Wouldn't that be too expensive? Let's not take it and leave it to Song Ruize. It's rare for him to make friends, so it would be good to help him maintain the relationship."
"No, you keep it." Qin Huiyin said seriously, "Okay, we're leaving, go in quickly, don't fall behind in your studies."
After Qin Huiyin left, Tang Yichen looked at the pottery jar in the basket, his eyes full of joy.
He has eight bottles and Song Ruize only has seven, which is good enough.
but……
Song Ruize’s seven bottles are all large.
Tang Yichen sighed softly: "Not all scholars have small stomachs. I can eat a lot. It seems that my sister still doesn't know me, her new brother, well enough. I'll let her know more next time."
Master Tang San waved his whip and said to Qin Huiyin beside him: "Others are brothers who love their sisters, but you are the best. You take care of your two brothers so well." "I take care of them when they need to be taken care of, and they will take care of me when I need to be taken care of by them. There is no such thing as free love in this world. It is all mutual."
"You are a good girl, you think very thoroughly. Are you really a twelve-year-old girl?"
"Third Grandpa, although I am young, I have seen a lot of things. Don't underestimate any young people."
At the dam entrance. Qin Huiyin said she wanted to find Song Ruize. The yamen runner who was originally quite kind to her stopped her this time, not letting her in, and not helping her find someone.
"Brother, has something happened to my brother?" Qin Huiyin asked worriedly.
"It's nothing, it's just that more and more construction work is underway inside, and the higher-ups have issued a strict order that outsiders are not allowed to enter. Don't come and embarrass us."
"I won't go in. Can we just meet here?" Qin Huiyin said, "Please, big brother."
"You wait here." After all, the bailiff had accepted her things before, so he didn't want to completely deny her a chance. He said something to another person and went in to look for someone.
At this time, Song Ruize was lying on the bed with a bloody mess on his back.
Jiang Qibin and several other people were standing there, worried, and they kept saying that they couldn't call a doctor for such a serious injury and they had to wait for orders from above.
"It's my fault. When you went to the provincial capital yesterday, Erzhu, Jinyuan and I stayed behind but didn't watch over the things. Some shameless people broke in and stole the things, resulting in the loss of so many iron tools. We should have been the ones to get beaten. Brother Ze, why are you so stupid to take the beating for us?" Jiang Qingnan said guiltily.
"You are my people. If you make a mistake, it is my mistake. Rather than everyone getting beaten, it is better for me to take it alone. Besides, how many beatings can your small bodies take?"
"I can bear it, but you won't let me." Chen Yong patted his strong chest.
"You didn't do anything wrong, why should you bear it? You can bear it, but how can a big brother let a little brother take the blame? I, Song Ruize, will protect my people."
"What should we do next?" Jiang Qibin asked, "We can't let this foolish man take his own losses. We must find this shameless guy."
"It's not that easy to find. Whoever deliberately made trouble to distract you yesterday is the one who knows the truth. You just need to think about what to do after you find him. Either don't do it, or do it violently."
The bailiff came in and said to Song Ruize who was lying there, "Master Song, your sister is here again. I was worried that she would know about your injury, so I stopped her."
"Thank you." Song Ruize thanked him weakly and looked at Jiang Qibin. "You have met her several times, and you are good at coaxing people. When you go to see her, tell her that I was called away by the dam head and I won't be back so soon. If she gives you something, take it first, and then give her my salary for this month."
"all?"
"Um."
"Brother Ze, you are injured and need medical treatment! Tong Baotou sent someone to beat you up and didn't let you see a doctor. As long as Qian Baotou comes back, we will tell him the whole story and he will definitely help you. You should keep your money for the doctor!"
"No need. Whoever hurt me should pay for the medical fee. There was a fight between the dam heads, and that person didn't hit me, but dam head Qian in the face, so dam head Qian will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly."
"Then I really took it!"
"That's long-winded."
Qin Huiyin paced at the door.
Master Tang San was dizzy and said, "Girl Yin, don't worry. Didn't the man just say that this is an order from their superiors not to let outsiders in? Besides, they didn't let outsiders in anyway, you were able to get in a few times because of luck. Now their rules are stricter, they don't dare to let you in, that's normal."
"No." Qin Huiyin said, "I have a feeling that something must have happened to him."
"Girl, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long..." Jiang Qibin ran over with his usual smile on his face.
Qin Huiyin looked at him and asked in confusion, "Why is it you?"
"Look at what you said. Am I that annoying?" Jiang Qibin looked disappointed. "I heard that the girl was here, so I dropped my work and rushed to see you."
"Where's my brother?"
"He is the manager now and has a lot of things to do. He was just called away by the dam head." Jiang Qibin said, "But he has something for you."
Jiang Qibin handed over the string of copper coins: "Your brother said that he couldn't eat all your food for nothing. These are his wages, and he'll keep them all for you."
"All of them?" Qin Huiyin roughly estimated that such a long string would be at least five hundred coins.
"Yes, all of it. By the way, I still owe you money, so I'll pay it back this time." Jiang Qibin said embarrassedly, "It was thanks to you that I didn't die of illness last time."
