The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were walking along the street when they suddenly saw a lot of people gathered around a shop in front of them. When they walked forward, Mrs. He saw a familiar face inside the shop. It was Li Fangrou, who had gained a lot of weight. .

At this time, three or two tough men were smashing things in the shop, cursing and looting all the valuable things in the shop.

Li Fangrou's mother-in-law, Mrs. Fang, was crying loudly and hurriedly trying to stop the big men from searching, but it was almost useless.

A few big men waved their hands, and Mrs. Fang was thrown to the ground. She lost her waist and screamed in pain. She couldn't get up for a long time. Mrs. Fang burst into tears and shouted, "Kill me."

Li Fangrou, who was on the side, was holding a one-year-old baby. The baby was crying loudly in her arms. Li Fangrou did not coax her and let the baby cry non-stop, obviously looking stunned.

Among the several big men who smashed the shop, the leader was the strongest, with dark skin, and a scar across his temple from his face, which looked extremely scary.

Seeing that they had smashed up the Fang family's shop, a thinner man said to the darkest one: "Damn it, Brother Ba, the Fang family only has a few taels of silver. It's not enough to pay back the interest. Brother Ba, what's the matter?" manage?"

The man known as Brother Ba padded his hands with the money he had just handed over from Fang's shop. He frowned and glanced at Mrs. Fang, who was still howling loudly on the ground. She was stunned with the baby in her arms. Li Fangrou, with cold eyes, snorted coldly, as if she was mocking. After a while, he leaned over and muttered a few words to the thinner man.

The thin man said: "Tell Fang Jiaming to collect the money to pay off the money in our casino within three days, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

After saying that, several men turned around and wanted to leave. Granny Fang suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards Brother Ba. Brother Ba was unprepared and was hit by her, staggering and almost falling to the ground.

Before Brother Ba could react, the thinner man grabbed Mrs. Fang with one hand, lifted her off the ground, and threw her down hard. After that, he was still angry and slapped Mrs. Fang's ears repeatedly.

Brother Ba frowned even more, with a furrow between his brows and eyes, and his eyes became colder. Looking at Mrs. Fang who was being slapped by the thin man, he screamed, "Kill."

The people watching were talking a lot, but no one dared to step forward to help. After all, these tough men were not easy to mess with at first glance.

After a while, the men felt relieved and left in a swagger, kicking out the only good bench in the store before leaving.

Among the crowd of onlookers outside, some sharp-eyed people recognized him. He was a hired thug from the largest casino in town. The leader of the gang was nicknamed Hei Ba. Business people from all over the country were frightened whenever they heard Hei Ba's name. She was shivering. She could hide as far away as she could on normal days, but she still dared to step forward to help.

However, although Hei Ba is fierce and fierce, he has never been known to lead people to cause trouble for no reason. The reason why Hei Ba is so vicious is because Hei Ba hates people who do not keep their word. On weekdays, everyone pays the protection fee on time and everything is fine. But if someone offends him, he and a few of his men will attack without mercy.

I heard that even the county's yamen policemen had to sell Heiba ​​to save face.

What on earth did the Fang family do to offend Hei Ba and smash their good shop to pieces?

Mrs. Fang and Mr. Li don’t look like people who would cause trouble. Among the men in the Fang family, the husband of the older generation Mrs. Fang passed away a few years ago. The younger generation Mrs. Fang only had one son, Li Fangrou’s husband Fang Jiaming. .

Could it be that Fang Jiaming is causing trouble outside? But looking at Fang Jiaming's gentle demeanor in the past, he would greet acquaintances politely, and he didn't look like someone who would cause trouble at all!

Li Fangrou didn't come back to her senses until the person was far away. In a daze, she heard the hoarse cry of the little baby in her arms and the wailing of Mrs. Fang. Then she started to coax the little baby with tears in her eyes. tears.

There were people in the shop next door who couldn't stand it anymore. They thought that although the Fang family was arrogant in the past, people's lives were at stake, so it was not the time to care about it. So they ordered people to run to the Fang family, called the Fang family members to come over, and carried Mrs. Fang away. Went to the medical clinic.

He listened to everyone's discussion, shook his head, did not step forward, and led Gu Yunxi and Lu Qingqing away.

Gu Yunxi didn't know yet that the woman holding the baby was Li Fangrou, who had been engaged to Lu Jianchuan before. She was the one that Mrs. Li was showing off to. At this time, her mind was filled with how she could make a lot of money and buy as many buns as she wanted.

The three of them went to the grain store again, and found that brown rice cost five cents per catty. He gritted his teeth and bought three catties. When passing by the pork stall, under Gu Yunxi's strong suggestion and Lu Qingqing's pleading, He relented and cut off another half a pound of pork, which cost eight Wen.

On this trip, I bought three cards and made sixty cents, but spent thirty-three cents, leaving only twenty-seven cents left. Making money is not easy, spending money is like running water!

When I got home, it was almost time to apply. He took the brown rice he bought into the kitchen and asked Lu Qingqing to take Gu Yunxi to the vegetable patch behind to pick some vegetables.

The Lu family's house is at the end of the village, with a large open space behind it. Past the open space is the back hill. Father Lu and Mr. He carved out the vacant land and planted a lot of vegetables. They couldn't eat them all, but they could also sell them in the town to earn some money to support their family.

Seeing that there were only a few types of vegetables in the field, they were all common Chinese cabbage and Chinese cabbage, which were very different from modern varieties. Gu Yunxi thought to himself, why didn't he see peppers?

And tomatoes? onion? Cauliflower? Not even in this era?

Gu Yunxi stood by the stems of the vegetable field, looking at the vegetables at his feet with a pair of copper bell-like eyes, thinking rapidly in his mind. On the other side, Lu Qingqing had already picked several cabbages and a handful of leeks, and shouted to go home. Only then did Gu Yunxi react.

Seeing the leeks in Lu Qingqing's hand, Gu Yunxi's eyes lit up again, thinking how delicious leeks could be. I quickly took the leek, and my mind was already thinking about leek boxes, leek scrambled eggs, leek fried river shrimps, leek and egg dumplings...

After arriving home, Gu Yunxi took the initiative to help. He used a wooden pulley to draw water from the well in the middle of the yard, washed the vegetables, and then brought it to the kitchen for He.

The Lu family's courtyard is square and square. The main house has two rooms on the left and right. Lu's father, He, lives on the right, and Lu Qingqing lives on the left. There are two wing rooms on the left and right sides of the yard. The east wing room is where Gu Yunxi lives, the west wing room is where Lu Jianan lives, and next to the west wing room is the kitchen.

While Mr. He was cooking, Lu Qingqing eagerly took Gu Yunxi to the main room...
