Dong Daneng chuckled and said, "Didn't those grandsons drive us out? Fortunately, my wife's family is here and she spent the whole winter in my father-in-law's house. What's going on with you?"
Ma didn't have the nerve to say that she had also been kicked out, so she laughed and said: "We don't think we can live in Tianshui Village. Don't we want to go to Jingjiu County?"
"Where are your two sons? Why are you the only ones?"
"They are going to explore the road first, and we will walk slowly." Ma tried her best to act like she was doing well.
But who is Dong Daneng? He has long noticed that this family is in rags and must be living a bad life.
This is just right.
He pretended to regret and said: "It's useless to go and see it. Don't you have no clan status? The city is different from the countryside. If you want to settle down, you have to get a letter of recommendation from the clan. If you go to the city like this, you may be banned by the government.
Catch him."
"So serious?" Ma was shocked, "Then will something happen to my two sons?"
"That's not possible. It's okay to go for a day and a half. You can go and have a look. Then I'll leave first." Dong Daneng said and started to drive the cattle cart.
Ma was anxious, "Brother Dong, don't leave yet! Give us a ride!"
"Ahem, I'm going to the next village to deliver something. I'm going back to the village soon, and I won't be traveling with you all the way!" Although Dong Daneng wanted to catch the car, he didn't really move.
Ma looked at the people in his family, thinking about what he said, and felt scared, so he said: "Otherwise, do you think you can take us in for a few days? We will wait until my son comes back and we will discuss what to do.
.”
Dong Daneng looked embarrassed, "It's not convenient for me to live with my father-in-law. Besides, you are all women. If I let my father-in-law know later, you would think I was doing this."
Ma hurriedly said: "Just find a place for us, as long as it can protect us from wind and rain!"
Dong Daneng hesitated for a while and then said: "There seems to be such a broken house in their village, but..."
"It's okay, it's okay! We'll just stay for a few days!" Ma said quickly.
Dong Daneng smiled again, "Okay, let's get in the car!"
Ma and others are grateful.
Little did they know that they had entered the wolf's den.
Although this shabby house is worse than the one in Tianshui Village.
They didn't know that at this time, the two brothers Jiang Fu and Jiang Xing were living as badly as pigs and dogs.
A strong laborer was sold for one tael, but these two people bought it back for a hundred taels. Is it possible to get a proper loss-making business?
You can't beat them, and you can't get back even the two taels of silver you break. But Ren Yazi has a way of punishing people by giving them something hard to swallow and disgusting.
Don't want to eat?
Pricking your fingers with sewing needles and pouring cold water on them was even cooler than the torture in prison.
And didn’t the young prince give orders to search the anus of these two people?
You have to search carefully!
Jiang Fujiang was so painful that he could walk with his back bent.
On the contrary, the two in jail lived as if they were on vacation.
The prison meal was black steamed buns. When an old man said something, Jiangnan He Tiantian ate it first, and no one dared to grab it. The floor in the prison was cold and hard, and all the hay was collected for them. When the water came, they drank first.
If it weren't for the poor lighting and boring conditions here, and if he missed his family, He Tiantian would think it would be a good vacation here.
But when will this old man be scheduled to appear in court?
"Old man! What you say doesn't count!" He Tiantian complained.
The old man munched the black bun leisurely, feeling like he was having a big meal. "Why are you so anxious? The people here today are all minions. It's useless to tell them. Just wait!"
What are you waiting for? He Tiantian doesn’t understand.
But in the evening, she understood.
First, a jailer brought a roast chicken over and said in a sly voice: "Grandpa Ermu, this is to honor you!"
Only then did He Tiantian find out that the old man's name was Ermu.
Ermu sat still, and the man in the prison bumped over, picked up the roast chicken and brought it to him.
The jailer chuckled and said, "Grandpa Ermu, my grandma took all the medicine you prescribed last time, and she is really well!"
"Yeah." Ermu responded lazily.
The jailer smiled shyly: "But it's not easy yet. Why don't you give me some side medicine?"
Oh, it turns out the old man is a doctor.
But before Ermu could speak, he heard footsteps approaching, and the jailer panicked and hurriedly stepped aside to avoid them.
The person who came was wearing an official uniform, and it looked like he had a much higher rank than the jailer. From the name of the jailer, he should be the county guard.
"Old man, I brought this for you!" The county guard's attitude was extremely humble.
Two people came up behind him, opened the cell door and brought in two food boxes, and someone else brought in a low table. The food boxes were opened layer by layer, and the low tables gradually filled up. Neither He Tiantian nor Jiang Nan had such a grandeur that day at Fudi Restaurant.
Ermu, who loves food so much, did not pounce on him immediately. Instead, he looked at the county magistrate coldly and scolded him, "I'm telling you, this is getting more and more outrageous. I don't know if I love Xiaotiansu and kidney bean rolls the most."
?Why don’t you have these two things?”
The county magistrate Luo Ping was already in his old age. When Ermu scolded him like this, he just bowed his head and apologized, "The people below prepared it and were negligent. I will let them buy it again."
Ermu did not answer, but said: "Not talking about food, just talking about your cell is quite disturbing. A little woman came in for no reason and cried so much that I couldn't sleep well all night!"
"I'll change it for her right now..." Luo Ping smiled awkwardly, "Can you please come out and give it to my mother..."
He Tiantian: Crying? Are you talking about me?
"I already told you that I don't know how to treat patients. You have found the wrong person!" Ermu replied impatiently, picked up the food on the table and ate it.
Luo Ping was a little anxious, but he forced a smile and said: "I heard that you cured Zhang Wu's mother from a long-standing illness. Don't be humble. If you cure my mother's illness, I will reward you heavily!"
Ermu glanced disdainfully, "Hey! I'm not being modest, I'm trying to shirk!"
Luo Ping was extremely embarrassed, "The old man is really funny."
"I'm not funny, I'm crazy!" Ermu continued to eat vegetables.
He Tiantian glanced at him, was it really okay to have such a quarrel with the county guard? Don't let her get involved.
Ermu seemed to have remembered something just now. He raised his head and said to Luo Ping, who was awkwardly there: "Listening to the symptoms you mentioned, I can prescribe some medicine, but I have to tell you first. People's lifespan is limited, but
Not everyone can be saved!"
"Okay, okay!" Luo Ping said hurriedly, "I don't want a complete cure, I just want to alleviate my mother's pain."
"I didn't watch for nothing!" Ermu said again.
"Yes, yes, I will make arrangements for you to stay in an inn or a room..."
"No!" Ermu waved his hand, "I'm not going out! You give them a trial and let them go if nothing happens!"
His eyes pointed at He Tiantian.
Luo Ping looked embarrassed, "This...everyone who comes in must have committed something."
"Do you need me to teach you? If you turn big things into small things, then it's okay, right?" Ermu said impatiently.
Luo Ping said awkwardly: "That's OK, I'll go to court tomorrow morning."
"Interrogation overnight!"
"This... works!"
"Don't let her cry and fuss, it will make her so noisy!"
"Okay..." Luo Ping gritted his teeth.
He Tiantian secretly gave Ermu a thumbs up, high! Really high!
Luo Ping quietly inquired about He Tiantian's identity from others, and found out that it was Luo Zhirou who had someone send him in. He thought to himself: If he was gagged and tortured, he would stop crying.
~~~~~
Luo Ping: This old man is so hateful! I really want to chop him up and feed him to the dogs!
Ermu: Look, Grandpa, how I can lead you into a trap!
