Chapter 23 Dong Ping's Thanks

Chapter 23 Dong Ping’s Thank You

Ma Wentao followed Xie Hong, thinking in his heart that he had done something beautifully about the news today. Look at the cheers along the way, he walked with his chest raised his head, and although he was very majestic when he was free for the Chen family, the neighbors looked at him with contempt. Although the cheers are now towards Xie Hong and Erniu, he also has honor and we are also heroes.

The central character Xie Hong was a little uncomfortable. He felt that he was not doing anything. He was not brave enough to act, but that the disaster had come to him. Otherwise, he might not have taken the risk of confronting such a local snake. Local snake is very troublesome, and the relationship is complicated and cannot be killed. He may not bite him back at any time. He is fine, but what should Mother and Qing'er do?

If a person surnamed Chen is crazy once, it is hard to guarantee that he will not be sent for the second time. Even if he is ruthless, it is hard to guarantee that the Chen family will not take revenge. If you want to get it all, you have to uproot the Chen family. But he is a craftsman, and he doesn't know how to do such a desperate matter. Xie Hong becomes more and more troubled. He didn't come back to his senses until he walked to Ping'anfang and Ma Wentao called him.

"Sir Xie, I'll go back first. If you have any questions, please greet me." Ma Wentao said goodbye.

"Brother Ma, you and I are old acquaintances, and it is better to be a brother in the future. Today you come to report the news, which shows your affection. Do you think you are a person who forgets your old love when you are rich?" The two families were already in a good relationship. Through today's incident, Xie Hong also felt that Ma Wentao could be friends with, and he didn't like him calling him one by one.

"Then I won't be pretentious anymore, thank you... Brother, I will ask about my aunt's affairs." Ma Wentao's heart was also warm.

"Brother Ma, don't worry about the affairs in the yamen. Just follow Fu Bantu and others to do things tomorrow." Since he is his own person, he cannot suffer a loss. Xie Hong's point of view is very clear.

"Brother Xie, I..." Ma Wentao was very excited. He had been looking forward to the position of the yamen runner for a long time. He was the main purpose of his gang. He wanted to have an identity, and the minor official was also an identity. The things he had been looking forward to for a long time suddenly got it, and he couldn't speak for a moment.

Seeing his appearance, Xie Hong understood it very much. He patted his shoulder and said, "Call Second Aunt and the others to come to have dinner together. Today I asked Qing'er to purchase it, and Erniu is back. Let's have another meal."

"In the future, brothers thank you but have some luck. I, Lao Ma, will do it even if I try my best."

"It's all brothers, needless to say that it's so serious."

As he spoke, he turned the corner and Xie Hong suddenly found that there was a circle of people around his doorstep. Something happened again? He was shocked and rushed over. Both Ma and Zhang followed closely.

When Xie Hong pushed the crowd away and squeezed in, he found a carriage parked at the door, and several short-dressed men were moving things down. A false alarm, Xie Hong let out a long sigh and then became confused. These people looked familiar, and what were they moving? Could it be that Qing'er went to the big purchase?

After entering the house, Qing'er jumped up and greeted her, her voice like a yellow oriole that broke out of the valley, and she said in a series: "Brother Hong, your friend has sent a lot of things, and she can't even put them in the house."

Xie Hong looked around and saw that it wasn't that right. There were a lot of cloth, houses, and even pots and pans in the yard. He was a little confused and asked back, "Friends, what kind of friend?"

"Sir Xie, my master asked the young people to come to the mansion to see what they need. Before the adult came back, the villain made his own decision. Please forgive me." Xie Hong saw a fat man in a silk robe turning out of his house. He was the housekeeper of Dongjiazhuang. This man looked humble and even more respectful.

"Is it Brother Dong?"

"That's right, my master gave the orders more urgently, and the villain was also anxious to handle the matter. It is inevitable that there are some inconsiderate things. Please forgive me." I said two words twice, which was incomparable to him compared to his arrogant at the yamen. Xie Hong had nothing to be angry about. He gave gifts and had a smile on his face. Besides, the purchases were more than he had yesterday.

He pointed to his mother's room and asked Qing'er, "Qing'er, isn't you scared?"

"Don't worry, sir, the young men dare not disturb the old lady." Before Qing'er could speak, butler Dong rushed to answer. The little girl was very dissatisfied and made a face at the fat man.

"I have received Brother Dong's intention, but this thing is still..." Xie Hong felt a little embarrassed to ask someone to give such a big gift after just a few words. He didn't regard the things he taught to Master Dong as a favor. What's more, he still has selfish intentions and hopes that Master Dong will produce higher-quality fine iron and can buy it as materials.

"Mr. Xie, my master explained in advance. If a villain cannot do this job well, he will have to serve the family law when he goes back. My master should not make things difficult for us servants." Before Xie Hong could say his refusal, Mr. Dong interrupted, and he said pitifully:

"My master said that I dare not thank you for your great kindness in teaching arts. I will definitely repay you later. Today, these are only for the old lady and... Miss. You should accept them."

Oh my God, there is still a report afterward? Xie Hong felt so dizzy. If I had known this, I would have come to the door. The days in the past few months were terrible. To be honest, people in this era are really clear in grudges, and it is impossible to get better. The bad people are even worse.

Seeing the fat man's pitiful expression, even though he knew he was pretending, Xie Hong couldn't say anything, so he had to say helplessly: "Then Mr. Dong, thank Brother Dong for me, I'll accept the things first."

Seeing that he agreed, Butler Dong smiled and said, "Sir Xie, my master is anxious to go back and build the furnace that the master has picked up. He has no time to pay homage to the old lady. He will come to see him again when he has achieved something in the future. If he has free time, please move to Dongjiazhuang and his party."

Xie Hong shook his head. Brother Dong is really a very smart person as long as he does not involve technical issues, he is a very smart person. He is in full swing and can be leaked. However, when he mentions iron smelting, he becomes a different person immediately.

"It must, it must." Others were too polite and not easy to deal with. Xie Hong quickly agreed, and then Butler Dong said goodbye and left.

Xie Hong sent the Dong family and his group out, thinking about explaining to the neighbors surrounding the door. However, before he could speak, someone suddenly shouted outside the crowd: "The Chen family is here!"

The sound was quite powerful. A large group of people at the door heard the sound and suddenly scattered the birds and beasts, which was so fast. Xie Hong was stunned and remembered the small vendors who were chased by urban management in later generations. Everyone ran back to their homes and closed the door. Then there was a sound of "bang" and "bang" down the door bolt.

It scared all the neighbors like this. Is this the Japanese entering the village? The Chen family is so majestic!

Xie Hong looked up and saw that there was indeed a group of people coming from a distance, walking very slowly. The first two people were supporting a fat man, which was Chen Dianshi. But the center of this group was a thin old man. After hearing someone else's introduction to the Chen family, Xie Hong guessed that the old man was probably the head of the Chen family and Chen Dianshi's father.

Could it be that he is here to take revenge? Xie Hong pondered.
Chapter completed!
