Chapter 621: Tell you to lock the door at night?
"Are you going to eat or not? If not, give it to me?" Lu Huaijin rolled his eyes at him. He didn't want his wife to think that he was being harsh on his subordinate. Besides, Xuanfeng was still a child, and it was the time for him to grow. If he didn't eat enough, he wouldn't have the strength to drive the cart.
"I want to eat it!" Tornado put the chicken leg into his mouth. You know what, although there was no seasoning, the chicken leg was really fragrant and tender.
The man sitting opposite him watched him eat the chicken leg so deliciously. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and an ambiguous look appeared in his eyes: "Come on, brother, have a drink! Where are you from? You look like you are from the city. How come you are in this remote place like ours?"
Judging from their appearance, although they were dressed modestly, they had a carriage and servants. They must be from a wealthy family, or perhaps a young man or a young lady from a family who had eloped? These days, there are all kinds of people.
Yao Qingnian and the others didn't know that in just a short while, the man had already imagined in his mind a story about a rich young man and a young lady eloping.
Lu Huaijin ignored him and continued to eat meat with Xuanfeng, "We are country people too, from the south, going to visit relatives in Beijing. We will be returning after the visit. We are passing by here and would like to stay for one night."
"I see. It's fate that we get together today. Come on, drink. Don't worry about getting drunk. I'll call you tomorrow morning." The man laughed and kept inviting them to drink.
Yao Qingnian didn't care and was about to take a sip of the wine glass, but Lu Huaijin held her hand and said, "Madam, you are not intolerant of alcohol, so don't drink any more. Eat more food. This wine is for men to drink."
What does this mean? When has she been unable to handle alcohol? But since Lu Huaijin said so, she didn't drink anymore and said in cooperation, "You're right, I'm full. If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back and rest first."
"This young master really loves and cares about his wife! Haha!"
"I can't help it. My wife is beautiful and powerful. If I don't keep a close eye on her, she'll easily become someone's target." Lu Huaijin rarely spoke in response.
Then he picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.
"So generous! Hey, little brother, would you like some too?"
"Then I'll be honored to refuse!" Xuanfeng also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"You two brothers have a good alcohol tolerance. I admire you." The man praised.
"Hey, why do I feel a little dizzy? Master, this wine is too strong." Tornado shook his head.
"How come you can't resist the compliments? It's not long since someone praised you, and you're already drunk. That's terrible." Lu Huaijin was also a little drunk and said, "But this wine is really good, really good."
"Master, I can't do it anymore. I'm going to rest first."
"Well, let's go! It's getting late and we have to travel tomorrow! I'm going to rest too." After saying that, both of them staggered back.
The man gave a triumphant smile, and his true face was revealed after they left. The mother and daughter in the kitchen snuggled together, looking out from the shabby window, and happened to see the man's smug smirk. They thought to themselves, this man must be up to some bad idea again. Today, the lady treated her for free and gave her medicine. She couldn't let anything happen to such a good person, so the woman took off the silver pendant on her head and told Yu'er that when she went out to clean up the dishes, she should find a chance to remind the beautiful sister today to lock the door.
"Boss, it's late, I'll clean up the dishes, you should go to bed early!"
"Pa!" A slap hit the woman's face hard, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
"When is it your turn to take care of my business! I tell you, you are going to sleep in the pigpen tonight, and no matter what noise you hear, you are not allowed to come out and ruin my business." The man slapped the woman without saying a word. The woman seemed to have been accustomed to it and was indifferent to being beaten. She silently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and cleaned up the dishes.
"Are you deaf? Did you hear that?!"
"I heard."
"Then get out of here."
The woman cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen.
Taking advantage of this time, Yuer fetched a basin of hot water and went to Yao Qingnian's room.
"Stop! You little girl, where are you going?" Seeing her, the man stopped her and scolded her.
"I... I'll go get some water for my sister to wash her feet." Yu'er said in a trembling voice.
"You usually serve me, but I never see you being so diligent." The man scolded in dissatisfaction.
"Then sister, give me something." Yu'er said softly.
"what?"
"This." Yuer took out the silver pendant.
"Is that all? Are there any more? Did you hide it?" The man said with a gloomy face, looking at the small silver pendant in his hand.
"I...I didn't hide."
"I don't think you have the courage, go ahead!" This lady is too stingy. How much can such a small silver pendant be worth?
Yu'er then carried the basin of water and walked quickly to the door of Yao Qingnian's room, then shouted outside the door: "Sister, I've boiled some water for you to wash up."
"Come in! The door is not closed." Yao Qingnian's voice came out.
The fish looked back at the man, and seeing that he was not paying attention to him, he went in with the water.
"Sister, I put the water here for you." She glanced at the room and saw Lu Huaijin lying on the bed. She quickly put the water there, then said with her head down.
"Okay, I got it. You go and do your own thing!" Yao Qingnian touched her head and said thank you, but Yu'er stood there without moving, and subconsciously looked out the door.
Yao Qingnian noticed her look, so he stood up and blocked the door: "Yu'er, do you have something to tell me?"
"Sister, my mother asked me to tell you to lock the door at night." Yu'er told her her mother's words. After all, Yu'er was still young and didn't understand many things, but she could vaguely feel in her heart that her sister would be in danger tonight, and her mother asked her to come and tell her.
"Thank you. Go tell your mother and tell her that I know. This is for you." Yao Qingnian took out a few snacks from the space and asked her to eat them slowly before leaving.
Yu'er took the food from Yao Qingnian's hand, looked up at her twice, and began to eat in small bites. He was thin and small, like a hamster.
"Sister, this snack is so delicious. It's the most delicious thing I have ever eaten."
"If it's delicious, eat more. I have more."
After the fish ate one piece, it looked at the remaining two pieces and stopped eating.
"Why don't you want to eat anymore? Don't you want to eat anymore?" Yao Qingnian asked.
