Otherworldly Days

Chapter 128 If I knew today, why bother!

"Oh——" Cao Xiangnan woke up when he heard the crowing of the cock. This sleep was the most satisfying he had slept in for a long time.After waking up, the person in his arms was still awake. Seeing that he was fast asleep, he didn't want to wake him up, so he gently pulled out his arm. The hand that had been pressed for so long was numb, but his My heart is extremely satisfied.

After kissing the sleeping person, without even lighting the oil lamp in the room, he quietly left the room and closed the door.

"Uncle Xiang Nan." In another room, the early riser also opened the door and came out.

"Boy, you got up so early." Cao Xiangnan touched the child's head. He is so sensible for this child. Since the child is hardworking and knows that he should pay for it, he did not refuse his help. "Go, go wash Face off, we're going to grind rice to make rice noodles, you Wanfeng are still sleeping, let's let him sleep for a while."

People outside the door also came, Cao Xiangnan went to open the door to let people in, and greeted the people who came in.

Thick white smoke is coming out of the chimney, the fire in the stove is burning, and the rice noodles in the pot are steaming.

Cao Xiangnan listened to Sun Ji telling him that he was not in the business of the shop these days, but he was not worried that Sun Ji was in the shop.The only thing he didn't expect was that his family would come to hold him back. Fortunately, he is back now.

He told everyone about some things in Nanyang. As for the things about the supper stall, Cao Xiangnan also told everyone. He also has his plans and ideas about it.He has brought Sun Ji for so long, and it's time for him to come in handy, "Sun Ji, go to your clan and pick some people who can help you out, not limited to men or brothers, as long as they can do things. "

Sun Ji was startled when he heard this, and stared blankly at Cao Xiangnan, not expecting him to let him go back to their clan to look for him.

"What are you doing looking at me like that? Do you think I'm joking?" Seeing Sun Ji looking at him in surprise, Cao Xiangnan said, "Find a few trustworthy people. From now on, these people will be under your control. I'm looking for you for any questions."

"Okay." Understanding Cao Xiangnan's meaning, Sun Ji nodded solemnly, full of joy, he had already selected several candidates in his mind. If Cao Xiangnan hadn't pulled him over to do business at the beginning, his family might not know the debts he owed now. When will it be repaid? Now that their family's debts have been paid off, he and his father have saved money and are planning to build a house, and there is meat on the table at home. His grandma and grandpa are laughing every day.

Now that his family is living a good life, Cao Xiangnan also gave him a chance to bring people from the clan to come out together, so that everyone's life will be better in the future.

Sun Bailian was also very happy to see Cao Xiangnan asking his cousin to go back to the clan to pick someone.

Early in the morning, Cao Xiangnan followed the carriage to the town. The things he brought back from Nanyang were still in the backyard of the shop. He brought back a lot of seeds, which he planned to bring back to Cao’s Village. less cotton.

"Wan Feng, you're awake. Xiang Nan followed the carriage to town." When Sun Bailian was busy in the kitchen, she saw Wan Feng coming over. Knowing that he was lethargic now, he also thought that he could sleep a little longer. meeting.

Now life is getting better, and life is not as hard as it used to be, and it won't be so hard after being pregnant.If it wasn't for Wanfeng's insistence on coming to help, Sun Bailian would have asked him not to come and just do some easy work, but this person is not someone he would just stop doing if he told him not to do it.

"Oh, good." Qi Wanfeng felt a little embarrassed that he went to bed late, he had to tell Fu Lang later, and he had to wake him up when he got up, and he blamed Fu Lang in his heart for not calling him to get up.

"Wan Fengyao." Xiangzi yelled when he saw Wanfengyyao also coming.

"What about the evening breeze?" Kangkang also woke up early every day, and came to work with his father and mother. He was a very sensible child.Brother is still young, still sleeping in the house, but even if Brother comes here, he is making trouble, he doesn't want that troublemaker, Brother!

Qi Wanfeng reached out and patted the child's head. After entering the kitchen, he began to help make rice noodles, chatting with Sun Bailian while working.

Speaking of his mother and second brother being imprisoned in the ancestral hall, Sun Bailian said that they deserved what they deserved.He shook his head, and didn't want to talk about them, as long as they didn't come to him to make trouble.

But he also knew that Fulang and his aunt had such a quarrel, there must be a estrangement in the future, and he thought in his heart that maybe his second uncle should not be sent to the government, so that his husband and his aunt might still be together. will be better.But if those people don’t send them off to officials, his second uncle will bring people to their house to steal things. If his mother and second brother are not locked up in the ancestral hall, they will come to his house to make trouble, so their house will be clean. The sun is restless, and the human heart is selfish.

At dawn, the men who worked in the bamboo house also got up. Breakfast was prepared here, and someone came over there to carry the food away. After eating, they would start to work.The house was built very quickly, and I think it will be finished soon.

The younger ones in the family also got up, and the yard suddenly became lively.

They also put down their work and sat down to have breakfast with a few younger ones.After breakfast, it was almost time. The younger ones carried their schoolbags on their backs, and the older one took the younger ones to school.

Yipinzhai is now serving morning tea, and there are quite a few guests in the building who come to have morning tea early in the morning, so the business is pretty good.

Cao Xiangnan came over and sat down with Shopkeeper Liu for morning tea, and chatted about some things in Nanyang.Shopkeeper Liu asked about his family affairs, knowing that the person who sent him back yesterday had told shopkeeper Liu, but he just said nothing.

It is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, and shopkeeper Liu is not good at interfering in other people's affairs. Knowing that Cao Xiaozi can handle it well by himself, he just said, "What's the use? Just talk about the old brother's place. We are all on our own. Old brother is polite."

"Thank you brother, Xiangnan is here to replace wine with tea, thank you brother." Cao Xiangnan rushed back yesterday, and Cao Xiangnan hadn't even thanked shopkeeper Liu for helping him. Today he is here with tea instead of wine, Thanks for his help.

Later, he also talked to shopkeeper Liu about opening a supper stall in Nanyang, but Fenshui is not suitable for supper, so shopkeeper Liu also expressed his understanding.The two had a meal of tea and chatted for a while. There were still many things to do later, so Cao Xiangnan bid farewell to shopkeeper Liu and left.

Knowing that his second brother was beaten and still locked in the prison of the Yamen, Cao Xiangnan didn't really want Cao's second brother's life.It would not be a death sentence to be lazy and steal things, but it was disgusting, even though he was very disgusted in his heart, he went to the old doctor Luo to buy medicine and went to the yamen later.

In the dungeon, the little thieves who had been boarded and locked up lay there whimpering and wailing. They were all lazy people on weekdays, and a board board would kill them half their lives.

He gave some money outside and said hello, and Cao Xiangnan easily entered the dungeon. When he smelled this smell, his face darkened, and he followed the yamen servant.

Fenshui Town is considered to be an peaceful place, and there are no villains. There are only a few small thieves imprisoned in this prison, so it is no wonder that in such a Qingshui Yamen, the people who work here have no oil or water. It's easy to do things when you have money.

"Kuu!" The yamen servant knocked on the door with the saber in his hand and shouted, "Stop shouting, someone is coming to see you."

Cao Lao Er was still lying on the ground and pretended to be dead. When he heard the voice, he looked up and found that it was his fourth brother. Let the second brother go, the second brother will never dare again, it's all the second brother's fault, please forgive the second brother, let the second brother go home."

"Amu and Dad are still waiting for the second brother to come home. The second brother has a baby to take care of at home. Fourth brother, please, let the second brother go. You let the county magistrate let the second brother go home Well, Second Brother will never dare again..."

Begging for mercy came from several places nearby, "Cao Silang, please spare us, we promise we will never dare again..."

Cao Xiangnan glanced at the yamen servant following him, and the yamen servant immediately understood, and knocked on the door with a knife, "Shut up!"

Those people stopped talking.

"Second brother, you still don't know your mistake." Cao Xiangnan shook his head, looked at the person who admitted his mistake, and said, "If you knew your mistake, you wouldn't bring people to my house again and again to steal things."

"You have never done a decent thing in your life. On weekdays, dad and elder brother go to the fields. You have never been there. You know that you are lazy and do some sneaky things. You have a bad temper. Change it."

"Don't use it as an excuse to take care of Mommy and your children. You haven't taken care of Mommy and your children for so many years. The people in your family have been raising and raising you for so many years. , and your daughter-in-law and children who are raising you. Second Cao, when will you be able to take on some responsibility? Live a decent life for a few days. Second brother, go over there and reform yourself, cleanse your heart and revolution, and come back to be a new man.”

"You go over there and take care of yourself, and when you come back, tell me to take care of my mother and children. As for you not at home, my mother and your children, I I'm here to assure you that I won't let them starve to death."

Hearing his fourth brother's words, Cao Laoer's face turned ashen, and he sat down.

"There are still a few of you, go and correct it and come back. If you can correct it and come back, I can't do without you here." Cao Xiangnan is not a bodhisattva-hearted person, but he thinks that they are not really evil. Medicine can save.

He opened the food box in his hand, took out a pack of dry food from it, gave it to his second brother, and distributed the rest to the others, "There are still some wound medicines here, wipe the wounds yourself Wipe it."

"Cao Silang, I beg you, I beg you to help me take care of my mother, I, I must make a good correction, and never do these things again, please, help me take care of my mother, I, I, Erzi Liu, will be your cow and horse for the rest of my life." A thin boy over there knelt on the ground, begging while kowtowing.

"Okay." Cao Xiangnan agreed with one gulp.

Seeing that Cao Silang accepted the entrustment of his sixth son, the others entrusted their family to Cao Xiangnan one after another, only now did they realize that they regretted it.

Walked out from the inside, stuffed a few taels of money from the jailer, asked the jailer to help take care of them, sighed, and Cao Xiangnan left.But they are all poor people, poor people must have something to hate, if I knew today, why bother!
