Chapter Eleven
In Fu'an Building in the town, Cheng Xian, who came out of prison, sat at the table and sipped a little wine alone. He thought about the fact that after he came out, he found the thugs in the town to inquire about the girl who caused him to jail at that time. It should be news in the past two days...
At this time, a man wearing an open soapy jacket, thick trousers, and his legs were missing. He walked in from the door, looking straight towards Cheng Xian after entering the door.
"Master, you are eating." said the man with a flattering look.
"Well. What's the matter with inquiring?" Cheng Xian looked at the man in front of him with contempt and replied casually.
"Hehe... I'm living up to your entrustion and inquire. The little lady you asked me to check is a local, but... but..."
This sloppy man is one of the few rogues in the town who have been relying on tricks for many years. Most of the people living in the town are well-known. He is named Chang Wu. He loves to inquire about things on weekdays. When he encounters opportunities, he deceives outsiders and steals some chickens and ducks from residents in the town. He keeps making big mistakes unjust, which makes the town people disgusted.
"I've found out what I've learned and said it. The money is indispensable. Don't hesitate!" Cheng Xian raised his eyes and looked at Chang Wu a little unhappy. Looking at Chang Wu with a flattering look, he became more disgusted.
"Yes, that girl's surname is Xi, and she is a descendant of the Xi family who walked out of the town a few years ago. I heard that she was sent back to the old house to recuperate a few years ago. I heard that her neighbor said that she had been lost a day ago, and I don't know if it's true or not..." Chang Wu said to Cheng Xian what he found out, and sat opposite him with a tacit consent, and took a drink for himself.
At this time, Xi Ningyu, who was thinking about him, was sitting in the room talking with Wen Ping'an, who had just been called back by Uncle Wen, and his wife, Meng's family.
"Ping An, I asked you back this time because I thought that the lady is making medicinal materials to sell to the clinic. I saw that there were more and more roads to live. The lady is weak, and Yu'er can't make a lot of effort as a lady, so I plan to ask you two to come back to help." Uncle Wen, who was sitting on the stool, said after saying that, he smoked a dry tobacco and said, "You just quit the way you live in the farmhouse over there. Your mother and I are getting older, and we will point at you and your wife to help the lady in the future. It's better to come back early to get familiar with her." After that, Uncle Wen filled the tobacco pole and filled the tobacco leaves and fired. He looked at his son.
"Dadfather. Ping'an and I are doing well there. I suddenly want to talk about this... I'm afraid it's hard to talk to the manager of the village!" Before Wen Ping'an, who was sitting on the stool, spoke, his wife Meng continued to speak.
"Well? Why is it hard to say? Are you selling yourself to others as slaves or owing money?" Uncle Wen knocked on the cigarette pole and said. There was something unpleasant about his words, and his face showed some impatience.
"Your family came back to help the lady, and even more so for your future good. What's wrong? I forgot the favor the eldest lady gave to our family? Humph!" Uncle Wen said, looking up at his honest son, a little resentful.
"Dad, this is a bit heavier. The eldest lady's kindness is remembered in my heart! But although Ping An has no ability, he is a real person. He is willing to do his work and never lazy and sloppy when he puts out his strength. The managers in the village over there are quite serious, as if they have the intention to mention it. He suddenly quit..." Meng said unwillingly.
Xue’s mother, who was sitting aside to serve herbs, also said, “Huimei. Let you couple come back one to help the lady, and the other. In fact, it’s also for the good of you couple.”
When Meng saw that her mother-in-law agreed to let the couple come back as soon as she spoke, she knew that she was afraid that there was no other choice for this matter, because she had seen it over the long time since she married Wen Ping'an. The Wen family seemed to be talking to their father-in-law. But in fact, the one who really took care of her and made a decision was her mother-in-law Xue's mother. Now that Xue's mother spoke, she knew that this matter was basically settled, but she was really not happy.
Xi Ningyu, who was drinking tea on a chair, kept looking at Wen Ping'an's family. The original owner probably never cared about Xue's mother's family before he died, and he might have been familiar with Xue's mother and Uncle Wen. Because Xi Ningyu could hardly find any impression of Wen Ping'an in the original owner's memory, so in order to avoid trouble in the future, Xi Ningyu took a closer look. It could be seen that Wen Ping'an was a naughty and was nodding when he listened to his father's words. He never looked at himself secretly, and he saluted and sat aside after entering the house. Although his wife Meng looked a little thoughtful, regardless of his words or appearance, he still had different thoughts after hearing his in-laws' words, he did not lose his etiquette. He looked like he was a polite person.
After watching for so long and listening for so much, Xi Ningyu put down the water cup in his hand and said, "It's really a bit rash to ask you couple to come back to help me, but it's because I lacked help from others. You also know that I don't have any trustworthy people here except your family." After looking at Meng, he looked at Wen Ping'an, and Xi Ningyu continued, "What I have done in the village is a lot of strength. Although Sister Huimei said that the manager of the village is interested in mentioning Brother Ping'an. But think about it, where can I mention it again? It's always better to have the ability to learn a skill, right?"
"Miss, what is the skill you are talking about?" Meng Shi was moved when she heard Xi Ningyu say that her skill was around her. She felt that if she could learn some skills, she and Wen Ping'an would also have a support in the future.
When Xi Ningyu saw Meng asked, he knew that the woman was afraid of having some thoughts. He smiled faintly and said, "I plan to let you couple follow me to learn to recognize medicine and collect medicine and make medicine at home. You have learned these skills carefully and will always have a day to make progress in the future. It's better to be valued by others. There is no room for improvement." After that, Xi Ningyu sighed faintly, thinking that this was really atrocity. There is no available person around him, just as difficult as he teaches others how to learn.
After this, Meng also felt that what Xi Ningyu said was reasonable. No matter how much strength she had, she would not have a good future. Although she had not married Wen Ping'an, she had always had a good skill. So she agreed to go back and talk to the village, and quit her job and learn the skills of collecting medicine with Xi Ningyu.
After this, Xi Ningyu also planned to find some helpers whom he could use after having time, otherwise he would not be as difficult as he would do anything in the future.
Early that morning, Xi Ningyu and Yu'er went out early in the morning to collect herbs. Cheng Xian was taking a few servants outside the Xi family's old house, and he looked out from time to time.
"Master! Look at the family that family has come out, they are two young girls."
One of the servants saw Xi Ningyu and Yu'er go out and immediately turned around and told Cheng Xian, who was dozing behind him, with his head sinking.
It was probably because the Xi family was about to get up early every day, and the Xi family was not sleeping enough. When Cheng Xian heard the servant's words, he opened his half-closed eyes and pulled the servant back with his hands and said, "Go away, I'll take a look!"
Cheng Xian, who poked out a head, stared at the master and servant Xi Ningyu who came out of the door, and watched the two turn around and head towards the north gate.
