The people here are really interesting. Officials and thieves alike will ask you where you are from.
Seeing that Song Yuehua didn't say anything, the bearded man asked again, "Did you find your things, young lady?"
Song Yuehua nodded.
The two men jumped off the wall, not knowing which alley they were in, and Song Yuehua followed the man.
"Hou Xiaoer, this is your second time. I will report it." said the bearded man.
Hou Xiaoer said quickly, "Uncle, please let me go this time. My parents are seriously ill. If I wasn't forced to do so, I wouldn't take this risk."
"Since our parents are seriously ill, they don't have to do any work. Isn't that just perfect?" the bearded man said calmly.
Hou Xiaoer said quickly, "My parents are not the ones doing the work, I am the one doing it, uncle, you can't destroy my family's livelihood."
"You are so good at stealing, why don't you go somewhere else? If I keep you here, are you waiting to ruin the reputation of Wenzhou City?"
Song Yuehua found this strange and wondered if the two had some personal grudge against each other.
So he asked, "Sir, what are you going to do with this kid?"
"Deal with it according to the law."
In that case, Song Yuehua didn't say anything else.
The three of them went out of the alley and when they passed Gaohe Bridge, Hou Xiaoer bit the bearded man's hand hard.
Then he jumped into the river without hesitation.
This sudden incident frightened Song Yuehua so much that she was stunned and quickly looked at the person on duty.
"The water is rushing so fast, he must be dead?" said the policeman who was walking towards him nonchalantly.
When the bearded man took a look and was about to give an order, someone hurried over and whispered, "Master Li's raccoon servant is missing..."
Upon hearing this, several officers left in a hurry.
Song Yuehua felt something was wrong, so she quickly took a detour and started searching on the embankment.
The water was flowing fast, and Song Yuehua was quick on her feet. She followed the current and finally met Hou Xiaoer, who was wringing out his coat under a bridge downstream.
"I thought you were dead."
Hearing the voice, Hou Xiaoer quickened his movements, then looked up and saw that it was Song Yuehua, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big sister, I've returned your purse to you, so please stop chasing me, okay?"
Song Yuehua spread her hands and said, "You jumped from such a high place, I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I came to check on you."
Hou Xiaoer was still worried and asked, "Didn't the yamen runner come?"
"Going to look for the cat." Song Yuehua said.
"Alas..." Hou Xiaoer sighed, "The world is becoming increasingly difficult nowadays."
Song Yuehua, "..."
"Don't steal anymore in the future." Song Yuehua said.
Hou Xiaoer wiped his face, looked at Song Yuehua for a while and asked, "Do you want to live in Governor Wen?"
"What does it matter if you stay here for a long time or not?" Song Yuehua asked back.
Hou Xiaoer waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, no one will steal you in the future."
After saying that, the waiter put on his wet clothes.
Anyway, the person was not dead, and Song Yuehua wanted to just leave, but then she saw him putting on wet clothes.
"Put it on after it's dried." Song Yuehua shouted. Hou Xiaoer's face turned paler and paler, and he said tremblingly, "There's no fire."
Song Yuehua picked up some dry branches, took out the iron hairpin on her head and scratched it on the stone, sparks splashed on the branches.
After the fire was lit, Hou Xiaoer's expression relaxed.
"You're a nice person."
"I can't just watch you freeze to death."
The two sat under the bridge and talked.
Hou Xiaoer's parents worked for a wealthy family in the city, and because they signed a working contract, Hou Xiaoer himself was not considered a family slave.
Although both parents had jobs to do, the owner of the house was very stingy. He made us neither starve to death nor eat enough. If we did not do the smallest thing well, we would be beaten or scolded.
Hearing this, Song Yuehua said, "Wouldn't it be better to change the owner once the contract is signed?"
"You are too naive." Hou Xiaoer shook his head.
Song Yuehua, "..."
Hou Xiaoer said, "Rich people are always surprisingly consistent in targeting poor people..."
Wenzhou was extremely wealthy, and when there was too much rice in the rice jar, it naturally attracted rats.
It was also through various coincidences and opportunities that Hou Xiaoer was able to become an apprentice and learn the skills.
"Don't you plan to do a proper job in this life?" Song Yuehua said, "Wouldn't it be nice to make a living somewhere else?"
Hou Xiaoer curled his lips and said, "There are a few people who can make a fortune by doing honest work. Although Wenzhou is a blood-sucking place, it is also a big granary. I won't leave."
The clothes were almost dry. Song Yuehua threw them to Hou Xiaoer and said, "I'm leaving now. See you later."
"Big sister!" Hou Xiaoer waved his hand and said, "Thank you very much!"
Song Yuehua came up from the embankment and walked onto the main street.
It was almost noon now and there were more people walking on the streets.
All kinds of noisy sounds came into her ears, but they only gave her a small glimpse of the prosperity of Wenzhou City.
After walking for such a long distance, the buns I had eaten in the morning had long since melted, so I just found a roadside stall to have a bowl of noodles.
"Miss Song!" "Sister Song!"
Song Yuehua thought the voice sounded familiar, so she looked in the direction of the voice and unexpectedly saw Ah Tao and Ah Xing.
"Axing, Xiaotao, why are you here?"
Song Yuehua was really surprised. She didn't expect to see an old friend in a place like Wenzhou.
I took a look at the stall and found that it was still selling fish ball noodles.
Ah Xing held Song Yuehua's hand, her hands trembling with excitement, and she shouted several times to the other woman, "Qiao Mei, cook six bowls of fish balls."
"Sister Song, why are you here?" Xiao Tao also pulled her hand and shook it excitedly.
