Chengchun smiled sheepishly: "I have been eating dry food these days, so I am indeed a bit greedy!"
"My subordinates also went to the restaurant to drink and eat meat!" Madam Zhang said with a smile, "This is human nature and normal!"
Seeing Mrs. Zhang say this, she knew that the escorts had made arrangements, and Cheng Chun was no longer embarrassed to eat meat.
Just when they were enjoying their meal, a woman suddenly rushed in. The woman looked around in the lobby, rushed to Chengchun, and knelt down with a plop: "Girl, girl, please, please let go."
I’m the boss, please!”
Cheng Chun was confused by her crying: "Who are you? I have never seen you, let alone the head of your family, why did you come to me to beg for help!"
"I, my shameless boss, he, he was sent to the Yamen because he peeped at you bathing. Now the Yamen is going to take action..."
"Shut up!" Cheng Chun stood up abruptly, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by peeking at me taking a shower? Don't ruin someone's innocence with empty words!"
Hongdou and Madam Zhang also stood up, blocking Chengchun behind them. Madam Zhang had practiced martial arts for many years, exuding a murderous aura. She looked at the woman in front of her with a dark face: "What's wrong with you little lady? It's the girl who will
Did you take your man to the Yamen? You just came in, looked around, and then rushed over to beg for mercy. What tricks did you do!"
"I...I..." The woman was frightened when she saw Madam Zhang, "Yes, it was my head of the house who said she was a very beautiful girl. He was just obsessed with it for a moment, so he hid outside.
But he didn't see anything, and he was caught before he even started to peek. Please, girl, twenty paddles, and he will be useless after beating him. Our whole family is counting on me, the head of the family, to support him..."
"So you came here to cause trouble regardless of the girl's reputation?" The lady sitting on the other side of the hall came over. She looked at the woman kneeling there and frowned, "You said that your boss was beaten twenty times?
The board is broken, then tell me, if this girl hadn't met my husband and I and caught him, wouldn't this girl's reputation be ruined by you? What will she do then? Ah!"
The woman's eyes were red and she bit her lip. She probably thought about it for a long time, and then she kowtowed with a "bang bang bang" sound: "I know, I know that the sins of my head are serious, but he was also confused for a moment. Our whole family
We all depend on him to feed us. If he dies, our family will starve to death!"
Cheng Chun watched the woman kowtow again and again, and soon her forehead was bruised and bleeding. He couldn't bear it, so he stretched out his hand to stop her from kowtowing.
The lady who came over to talk could not help but frown when she saw Cheng Chun doing this.
Chengchun looked at the woman for a long time, and then asked: "What is the monthly schedule for you as the head of the house?"
The woman was a little strange, but she still answered obediently: "One, two, five cents!"
After getting married, he turned back to look at Madam Zhang: "Madam, how long does it usually take for the twenty-big board to recover?"
"The grown man is great, but his skin is torn apart, and he is a county government official. Generally, the punishment is not very severe. One and a half months should be enough!" Madam Zhang thought for a while, and then said.
Chengchun did the math and pulled out a hairpin from his head: "I don't have much money either. This silver hairpin should be worth two taels of silver. It should be enough to feed your family for one and a half months!"
"girl……"
"As this lady said, what your boss did was not a good thing. If they hadn't helped, my innocence might have been ruined and I would have been hanged with a piece of white silk! This is my life, and I can't let it go so easily.
It's his fault, but you are really pitiful. It's hard enough to marry such a person, and because he did such a despicable thing, you have to beg for mercy for him here. This and the hairpin are just my pity for you.
!" Chengchun looked at her and said lightly.
The woman looked at the silver hairpin in front of her and felt her face burning and uncomfortable.
Chengchun didn't rush her, he just bent down and handed out the hairpin in his hand.
"Are you going to answer?" Madam Zhang beside her didn't have that much patience anymore.
"I'll take it!" The woman took the hairpin, her eyes red.
Chengchun looked at the woman and said nothing.
Just as the woman was about to leave, the lady on the side suddenly said: "Look at that person standing on the corner of the street looking this way. Is it your child?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked up.
Cheng Chun also followed their gazes and looked over, and sure enough, there were two shabby but clean children standing over there, a boy and a girl, looking at them with their heads curled up.
The lady was silent for a long time, and then said: "As long as your head of the family cares about you and your children at all, he can't do such a thing! Although it is difficult for women to live in this world, but you still have children, you should always do it for
Think about it, son, with such a father, will your son be able to marry a wife from a good family in the future?"
The woman didn't say anything. She turned around awkwardly and stared at Cheng Chun. After a long time, the woman smiled bitterly and said: "We are in a small place, and we have never seen anyone as beautiful as the girl."
, He was just obsessed for a moment...It was just a moment of obsession..."
Seeing that she was unwilling to accept the reality, the lady said no more and just looked at Cheng Chun: "You are a kind-hearted little girl. If it were me, I wouldn't care about their life or death!"
Cheng Chun glanced at the woman who was slowly leaving, and said helplessly: "Most of the time, women can't help themselves. If she doesn't cry and doesn't care, how can she feed the two children of her own family? Dignity is something that must be eaten.
Things will be mentioned only after you have eaten! The integrity of a scholar is not something ordinary people can bear!"
The lady looked at Cheng Chun for a long time, and then asked: "What is your name?"
"Me? Madam, call me A-hua!" Cheng Chun smiled, "Where is Madam, what do you call me?"
"My husband's surname is Pan!"
Chengchun smiled: "I still have to thank Madam Yan for helping me, otherwise I don't know what to do!"
"You don't look like you were born in a common household, but you can see the suffering of the common people. When I heard you speak, Wu Nong whispered, are you from Jiangnan?" Lady Shen liked Cheng Chunduo a lot, so she asked more questions.
A mouthful.
"Our family was a merchant in Taiping County, Hangzhou in the early years. However, when we came here, our family was in decline. We originally went to the capital to visit relatives, but we didn't expect..." Cheng Chun smiled bitterly, "Now I have to be miserable.
Returning to my hometown, fortunately there is still an ancestral house where I can stay!"
