Ergouzi nodded, frowned, and resolutely said, "Yes, you can send me to the government. We still have many younger brothers and sisters to raise. I am stupid and can't make money. Without me, Brother Leopard will not be able to make money."

Can feed them."

Leopard frowned and scolded, "Obviously it was me who pulled you here. It was my fault, not you. The police arrested me and let Er Gouzi go. He is not very smart and was deceived by me. He was tricked by me."

"

Ergouzi insisted, "I am the mastermind. I am here to steal things."

"It's me. You're stupid. You took the blame and others don't believe it. We can't both get involved." Leopard's eyes were red and his voice was choked. He felt a little regretful. In order to make a lot of money, he came to Jixiang Town to steal things.

Now that he is in jail and Ergouzi is out begging, he can also support his younger brothers and sisters below.

Li Dabao saw these two people chattering and retorted: "Stop acting, we won't believe you and we won't sympathize with you."

"Wait!" Liu Pan'er saw that Village Chief Li was about to take the person away, so she stopped her, "Leopard, how old are you this year?"

Leopard was puzzled, "If you want to kill or behead me, I'll do whatever you want. Why do you ask so many questions?"

Li Dabao groaned angrily, "Mom, these people don't know what's good or bad. Don't be fooled or deceived by them."

"Okay, I know, Dabao, don't say anything yet." Liu Pan'er said softly, looking at the leopard, "I promised you just now that as long as you tell me, I will pick you up and let you go. It's not a lie, Dazhuang

, loosen their bonds.”

Li Dazhuang was stunned and didn't know why. "Let them go and these two people will run away. It will be difficult to catch them again."

"I said let them go, let them go." Liu Pan'er frowned, her expression serious, "Don't you listen to my words?"

Li Dazhuang meant well, but when he saw that Liu Pan'er didn't appreciate it and insisted on letting her go, he was at a loss and asked, "Village chief, is this a thief?"

Village Chief Li knew that Liu Pan'er always acted in a measured manner. Since he insisted on letting the two thieves go, he nodded, "Let them go. Your sister-in-law must have other plans."

Li Dazhuang stepped forward and untied Baozi and Ergouzi.

Leopard and Ergouzi did not escape immediately after being loosened as Liu Pan'er imagined. He looked at Liu Pan'er warily, "Why did you let us go?"

Liu Paner smiled, stood up, and looked at Baozi and Ergouzi, "Of course it's because I keep my word. I've got what I want to know. It doesn't make much sense to send you two to the government. After all,

You two have to raise seven or eight orphans. If you two go to jail, those children will become real beggars, and some of them may starve to death."

Li Dabao was stunned, "Mom, do you really believe them? Don't you think they lied to you?"

Liu Pan'er nodded, "I believe it, because I once saw Leopard and Ergouzi in the county. I ordered some leftover steamed buns and food from Zuixianlou, and then sent them to a small alley, and then distributed the food to the children.

Let’s eat.”

"Ah?" Li Dabao was stunned, "Maybe they are just pretending to give it to those little beggars, but they don't eat it."

Liu Pan'er shook his head, "They ate too, together with those children, and they ate very happily."

Liu Pan'er recognized Baozi and Ergouzi as the two gangsters who raised many beggars, so from the beginning, he never thought of sending Baozi and Ergouzi to the government.

When Village Chief Li heard this, he felt unhappy, "Hey, they are all poor children. In this case, we will not pursue the case. Don't come to our village to steal things in the future. You won't be so lucky next time. That's what Mrs. De Rui feels.

Kindness cannot tolerate those orphans being helpless."

When Leopard and Ergouzi saw them giving up their positions, they kept backing up and tried to run away.

Liu Pan'er knew that although these two people spoke meanly, they were really not bad people. "If you leave my place, that shopkeeper Zhou will not let you go. After all, we have to deal with him, and they may not be able to do anything to us.

But you and those homeless little beggars are in dire straits."

Leopard was stunned, stopped and turned his head sharply, looking at Liu Pan'er, "Are you the Mrs. De Rui who discovered the high-yielding sweet potatoes? Your Majesty has personally sealed you, and the county magistrate is also very respectful to you, but the king's record is in the county seat.

It's so deep-rooted that you can't touch him. There once was a county magistrate who wanted to touch the king's register. In the end, he was falsely accused of corruption and bribery, and money was found under the magistrate's bed. The magistrate was dismissed from office and went to jail. Wang

The chief clerk is still fine. I also know that we can’t stay in the county town anymore. After we go back, Er Gouzi and I will take our brothers and sisters and leave to go to other places where we can always have something to eat."

Liu Pan'er nodded and chuckled, "Of course we won't act rashly. Thank you for your reminder. Tell me, where did those children come from?"

Er Gouzi's eyes were red and he choked up and said: "I am Er Gouzi. I am fourteen this year. I have been with Leopard since I can remember. Brother Bao will not let me go hungry if he stutters."

"We depend on each other for life. Some of the younger brothers and sisters below fled from the north. Their parents died and their uncles and aunts didn't want to raise them, so they lost them. There are also girls who were abandoned. I see there is a younger brother with six fingers.

The family thought it was ominous and abandoned it."

"Brother Bao adopted these children, saying that since he met them, he couldn't watch these children die. Once, when a younger brother and sister got sick, we spent all the money, but it was not enough to buy medicine, so Brother Bao went to steal the money and was beaten.

He was half dead. Later, the younger brother could not be saved and died. Brother Bao secretly cried in the middle of the night. My brother Bao is ugly and looks bad, but he actually has a good heart. If you report it to the official, arrest me, but don’t arrest me.

Brother Leopard."

The leopard does have a bad face, but is kind at heart.

The leopard's eyes turned red and he lowered his head.

He is useless and does not know how to make money to support his younger brothers and sisters.

Village Chief Li and others were deeply touched when they heard Er Gouzi's words.

They were fleeing from famine, and it was normal for them to encounter accidents on their way out. If the Yuan Qing family had not been clever and led the villagers to overcome difficulties, perhaps their children would have been like these little beggars without a father or a mother.

Liu Pan'er nodded, "You don't want to go anywhere else. After you return to the county, don't stay too long. Bring all your younger brothers and sisters here. Work at my house and I will give you wages. You will have a place to stay in the future, so you don't have to

Begging everywhere.”

Hearing this, Leopard suddenly raised his head and looked at Mrs. Derry, "Madam, are you trying to buy us people?"

"Are you willing to sell yourself into slavery?" Liu Pan'er was surprised. Originally, she only wanted to hire Ergouzi and Baozi, two street gangsters who were familiar with the county and not bad people. She wanted to help them and the homeless people.

child.

The leopard thought that his younger brothers and sisters were hungry and full, and they only had leftovers to eat. They had no place to live, and they would get sick when winter came.

Blessings for younger siblings.
