The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1635 Big Eyes Asks Cheng Feng for Credit

"Well, how can that be? You are the emperor's nephew and the prince's biological father! If daddy is scolded, it means our entire royal family is scolded. If Liu Dalan scolds you, it means our entire royal family is scolded. This is not acceptable! If daddy is so spineless as to let others scold him, I will tell my little grandfather." Cheng Youning's little mouth opened and closed, and his ability to fan the flames became more and more advanced. He was not afraid of making things worse.

"Don't be so picky here. Stay out of the adults' business."

Cheng Youning gave up only after Cheng Feng scolded him repeatedly, otherwise he would have gone to the Cheng family to have his tooth pulled.

……

On the second day, Cheng Feng was walking towards Denghua Street from Zhujin Street. When he passed by Chen Qingsheng and He Ye's stall, he couldn't help but take a look. He thought it was empty, but he saw a droopy-headed child guarding Chen Qingsheng's cart, which was filled with colorful rags.

The duo who used to set up stalls regularly were taking medicine at home, but they didn't expect that their spoiled goods were guarded by a little beggar.

Cheng Feng called out, "Big Eyes!"

The child who had slept on the cold stone slab for a night had not yet stretched out his body. His thin body hidden under the padded jacket was curled up as if without life. The empty bowl in front of him and the child's cold and pale face showed that he had not yet asked for breakfast.

The child looked up suddenly when he heard the voice, and when he saw that it was Cheng Feng, he came alive.

He climbed up from the ground as nimbly as a clever monkey, and picked up the big bowl with the gap in his teeth. Since he lost the bowl once, he would not let him lose it again. As long as the person is alive, the bowl is there, and if the person dies, the bowl will be broken. The prince was right. This was the bowl he used to eat, and it was as important as his life, and he could not lose it.

The dull look in the child's eyes disappeared, and his bright eyes flickered. He asked Cheng Feng with a little excitement: "Sir, why haven't those two stall owners come to set up their stalls yet?"

Chen Qingsheng and He Ye were already here at this time every day. This kid had been waiting here since yesterday. The two stall owners didn't show up, nor did the prince who was related to them. He couldn't find anyone who knew the inside story to ask, so he had no choice but to stay by the cart of junk, afraid that if he left, he would miss the people who came to reward him, such as the prince. But he was right not to leave. Hard work pays off, and he finally waited for the prince to come.

"Neither of them will be coming anytime soon."

"Why? What if they don't come to this cart? Don't they want it anymore?"

The child looked a little lost. Cheng Feng thought that Chen Qingsheng, He Ye and Big Eyes, who were running the stall, were familiar with each other, so Big Eyes ran around to report to the police and watch the stall yesterday.

With two broken ribs, who would care about a cart!

Cheng Feng asked the child, "What are you doing here? Begging?"

Big Eyes nodded and said, "I was begging for food while waiting for the two stall owners. I was the one who reported the matter to the authorities yesterday, and this time there was no delay. The people from the yamen came and arrested the two bullies." The child tilted his head back, staring at Cheng Feng intently.

Cheng Feng suddenly understood. He only needed to look at the child's eyes to understand that the child was trying to take credit for something. Cheng Feng asked, "They say there's no gain without pain. Everyone on the street is watching the excitement, so why are you the only one to report it to the authorities?"

The child didn't know how to demonstrate his expression yet. He looked at Cheng Feng expectantly, asking for a reward, "Last time I ran an errand, the prince rewarded me with two taels of silver."

Cheng Feng now understood better, "You're not going to sit here all day waiting to run errands for me, are you?"

This kid reported the case to the police in his own name. If it wasn't for money, what else could it be?

Without waiting for the child to speak, Cheng Feng generously took out his purse, took out a few taels of silver from it and put it into Big Eyes' bowl.

Seeing the silver, the child regained his former spirit. His eyes were shining and his face was rosy. He bent his waist and bowed to Cheng Feng four times in a row, repeating some words of thanks over and over again.

Cheng Feng has long known that this child is very cunning, and facts have proved that this child is indeed very cunning. He is not afraid of people being smart, but he is afraid that their cleverness will backfire, so it is hard to say whether this cleverness is a good thing or a bad thing.

Looking at the child he had saved, Cheng Feng couldn't help but want to give him some advice, "Are you going to keep begging for food?"

At this moment, Da Yan's eyes were determined. He saw a way out in begging, especially with the few taels of silver given to him by the prince in his pocket. He was even more convinced that begging was the right choice. He nodded vigorously at Cheng Feng: "Since I started begging, I haven't been hungry much. I have decided to beg for food for the rest of my life."

Cheng Feng nodded slightly. He dared not agree nor object. Bijie could do nothing for the child. Whether he could struggle out of the quagmire depended on himself. Destiny was something that should be held in one's own hands. Begging was also a way to make a living. Cheng Feng had no objection. "Begging is indeed a way to make a living, but you are still young. Don't waste your years."

The child scratched his hair, which was stuck together, and asked Cheng Feng awkwardly, "Sir, what do you mean by that?"

"I see there are many different ways to beg for food. Don't be so stubborn and keep begging for food. Why don't you learn some skills while you're still young? Performing arts on the street is worse than just walking around with a bowl in your hand."

The child looked at Cheng Feng blankly, as if he didn't understand what Cheng Feng meant. However, Cheng Feng knew that the child could understand. The child was ridiculously cunning. In short, he had given the money and said the words. It was up to the child himself to decide what kind of person he would become.

It’s not that Cheng Feng has no compassion. There are so many poor children like Big Eyes, so many that he can’t take care of them all, especially those who have fallen into begging. They will not change their careers.

Cheng Feng left. He was going to the Shi family's teahouse to drink tea and listen to music. The Han family's brothers were already waiting for him there.

Shang Xi found another excuse to go out of the city. She was afraid that Madam Wan would take her with her to the Cheng family in a few days. She wanted to stay away from such a place of trouble.

Shang Xi grabbed a handful of blueprints and began the third phase of rural construction. Shang Xi was familiar with the process, scheduling the construction and building in sequence.

The king on the throne has already spoken. He will not allow starving people and refugees to spread everywhere.

What kind of year is this? It's been a drought year. With government support, a row of waterwheels have been erected high on the river. They pump water into canals, which then carry it to the fields in all directions. This has helped preserve the last crop of the year, but it can't make up for the losses from the first two crops.

Looking at the growth of crops, those refugees who had no choice but to write IOUs to rent land no longer had to worry about losing money. At Shang Xi's call, the villagers who arrived earlier had already moved into brick houses. They had lost their property and land in Dalang, but slowly got them back in Fengqi.
