Xiutao opened her small mouth, forgetting to cry. She looked at Dashan's wife who was throwing herself on the ground, and then at the flat basket of soybeans that was knocked over by Shu Yao in front of her. What's going on? Auntie, isn't she going to beat her? Why?

fall down?

"Ah yo yo, it hurts so much, ah yo yo, my waist is broken." Dashan's wife pushed herself up and tried to get up, but she stepped on a soybean again with her tiptoes and fell heavily to the ground again, almost breaking her jaw. "Damn Dashan.

, why don’t you pull me up quickly? Hurry up and beat these two stinky girls for daring to harm me.”

At this time, Mrs. Jiujin, Xu Carpenter and several neighbors came over. Shuwen and Dongsheng also ran back with a bang, pointing at Zhang Dashan and the others: "Who are you, and what are you doing here at my house?"

?”

Mrs. Zhang snorted: "We, the Zhang family, support you three brothers, and you have this attitude towards your benefactor? You are really an ignorant white-eyed wolf."

Sister-in-law Jiujin exclaimed: "You are raising their brothers? Who are you? Where did these lunatics come from? Is there anything wrong with them? Dongsheng, I just saw Wang Captou and the others on the street in front. Go and get him."

When I call him, I'll tell him that a lunatic has come to Mr. Xia's house to cause trouble."

Common people, especially those from the countryside like Zhang Dashan, are most afraid of hearing words like "official offices" and "catchers". To them, getting into trouble with officials is a big deal.

"No, no," Zhang Dashan quickly jumped out and tried to catch Dongsheng. Unfortunately, a six- or seven-year-old boy like Dongsheng was the slippery one and ran out of the yard early. "We are Xiutao's biological grandmother and uncle, both

family."

Mrs. Zhang also shouted proudly: "Now my second daughter-in-law is raising three children of their Xia family. What are we but benefactors? We will live here from now on. Neighbors, please don't be so rude to us. Who is the lunatic?"

It’s you who’s wrong.”

Dashan's daughter-in-law finally got up, supported a chair and stood, and followed her mother-in-law's words and shouted: "Isn't that true? If you make us anxious, take that broom... uh, take that red plum back, you can raise it

Three children?”

Carpenter Xu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't Aunt Mei the maid of Madam Xia?" The neighbors really didn't think about the release contract, and Hongmei and Xiutao have always called Shujie and Xiutao since they arrived in the Xia family yard.

The calligraphy reads "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master" and Shuyao is called "Girl". They also live in the maid's room where Cuizhu lived before, so in their minds, the mother and daughter are still the maids of the Xia family.

Mrs. Zhang snorted again: "What maid? Hongmei got rid of her slave status six years ago and is no longer a maid. If she hadn't left our Zhang family's affairs alone and come here to make tofu to make money,

The three children of the Xia family, a few bastards, can't even eat. I'm afraid this yard has been sold to someone long ago, and they still want to live here so comfortably? Hongmei has raised them for a few months, and this yard has also

It belongs to our Zhang family, right?"

"Who? Who is making trouble? How dare you break into a house in broad daylight?" Mr. Wang arrived really quickly. It was also the Zhang family's bad luck. As soon as Dongsheng ran out of the yard, he saw Mr. Wang at the end of the street.

Hurry and shout loudly.

Zhang Dashan still owed someone dozens of taels of silver. As soon as he saw the policeman in the yamen, his feet went weak: "Misunderstanding... misunderstanding, a... family, we are from this family, no... no good

Breaking into a house."

"Are you from this family? I have worked with Capt. Xia for so many years, but I have never seen a relative like you. Where do you come from?" Capt. Wang looked at Zhang Dashan with a mocking look on his face.

"We are Hongmei's family." Mrs. Zhang still wanted to use her voice to make people more courageous, but when faced with government officials, her confidence failed and her voice trembled.

"Hongmei? Who? Oh, Aunt Mei? Haha, when did a relative of a slave come into the house and become a family with the master?" Last time Aunt Mei was in the county government office to apply for the deed, Wang Captou happened to be nearby.

.

"What, what kind of slave? Hongmei has been freed from slavery a long time ago, and now we are the benefactors of the Xia family." Mrs. Zhang was sure in her heart. It was Zhang Dahai who personally told her that the master's family had released him and Hongmei's body contract, and she

I have also seen their household registration documents, and they are not slaves.

"I am a slave. You took away all my savings and belongings, and drove Xiutao and I out. If we had not been sold as slaves, how would our mother and daughter survive?" Hongmei at the door said lightly, with Ah beside her.

Sister-in-law Juan, there is also the big stone on Zhuangzi. There are few people in the store in the afternoon, and usually only one person is left to look after the store. Today, it is Sun’s wife who stays there.

Xiutao cried and rushed forward: "Mom, wuwu, the bad guys are here again, and they are going to beat Tao'er again, wuwuwu, they are going to beat the girl again."

Hongmei looked at Zhang Dashan coldly: "Xiutao is now the little maid of the Xia family. The master has given her the surname Xia, but you can't beat her if you want. As for our girl, if you dare to touch her, young master

I can tear your bones apart. The Xia family has many friends in the capital and in Yulin County. We just got the letter that people from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will be arriving in the next two days."

Big Stone also raised the pole in his hand: "Where did you come from and dared to hit our girl?"

When Capt. Wang heard that people from Weiyuan Hou Mansion were coming to Xia's house, he became even more excited: "I broke into the house without permission and dared to hit Miss Xia. I will tie them all up."

Zhang Dashan was so frightened that he sat on the ground with a "poof": "No, no, we didn't hit the Xia girl, no, no."

How could this happen? How could this happen? Aren't there only three orphans left in the Xia family? Why do these nosy neighbors appear? Who is that tall man with the pole? What else... Hou

Mansion?

"What are you talking about trespassing? My wife took my granddaughter and ran away from home without permission. We are here to catch them." Mrs. Zhang has always been aggressive. She determined that Hongmei and her daughter were not slaves. She remembered that her son Zhang Dahai said,

The Xia family's wife was as close to Hongmei as a sister, how could she be made a slave again? Moreover, after they arrived in Yulin County, they all found out that the Xia family's wife died before Hongmei arrived.

Even if she can't live in the Xia family, she still wants to take Hongmei back to make tofu for their family to earn money. Now that they have no land, what will the family eat?

The tofu made from red plums is famous in Yulin County, and the business is so good that even the government officials place reservations for the whole month. Waizui's sister and husband live in Yulin County.

When a wealthy businessman works in his house, the women and children in that wealthy businessman's house eat tofu made from red plums every day.

Shuyao ran back to the house and ran out quickly, holding the body deed of Hongmei mother and daughter in her hand: "Uncle Wang Captou, this is the body deed of Aunt Mei and Xiutao. Let's go to the Yamen together."

When Mrs. Zhang saw that she was really married, she was stunned. How could it be possible? How could it be possible? In this era, slaves who had sold themselves were the private property of the master's family, and even their biological parents had no right to take them away, let alone take them away, even if they wanted to see them.

It can be seen at will.

Dashan's wife was also frightened. She glanced at the frightened Mr. Wang and several officials behind him. Her eyes rolled around for a while, and then she suddenly sat down on the ground and cried loudly: "Poor little niece.

At such a young age, he was sold into slavery by his own mother. The sky was struck by lightning, and my poor brother-in-law would not be able to rest at ease even if he died."
