Splendid peasant girl busy farming

4396 - Pulling Stones

Yang Ruoqing's words really bluffed Er Ya.

The little girl's face turned pale, and she nervously grabbed the steamed bun that had long since cooled and hardened, and was too frightened to speak.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to touch her head again, and comforted her: "As long as you are obedient and follow your lord obediently, you won't meet a child."

Erya nodded vigorously, and then whispered: "They all said that the Guanyin here can manifest spirits, and I actually want to go to pray for blessings, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my father's legs as soon as possible, and he will go to the ground as soon as possible..."

"But, I didn't eat breakfast, I'm hungry, and I don't have the strength to climb the mountain..."

Yang Ruoqing smiled softly, "Madam Guanyin will sense that you have this kind of heart. This steamed bun is cold and can't be eaten anymore. Give it to auntie, and she will buy you other delicious ones later."

"Well, thank you, auntie." Erya obediently put the steamed bun into Yang Ruoqing's hand, and sat down obediently.

Erya can't tell the name of the alley where her family lives now, but Yang Ruoqing will be kind and persuasive, and will eliminate some conspicuous restaurants, shops, and iconic objects near the alley, and finally lock the target in the county town Dahuaishu Hutong in the most dilapidated Chengxi Street.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the entrance of Dahuaishu Alley, Yang Ruoqing heard a woman outside calling Erya's name hysterically.

"It's my mother!" Erya jumped up from her seat, reaching out to lift the curtain.

Yang Ruoqing stopped her.

Erya blinked her big eyes, looking at Yang Ruoqing with some puzzlement.

Yang Ruoqing quietly lifted up a corner of the curtain, so that Er Ya could see Mo Shi's anxious call outside, and also prevented Mo Shi from seeing everything in the carriage for the time being.

"Look, because you sneaked out, your mother is in such a hurry, if you can't go home after dark and are taken away by bad guys, your mother will go crazy." Yang Ruoqing warned Erya again.

Please don't blame her as an adult for repeatedly scaring a child with this matter, it is Erya's behavior that must be given a profound warning.

Otherwise, she still doesn't have a long memory in the future, and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and runs around.

Children are the heart and soul of parents and the core of a family. When children are lost, parents are empty, and home no longer feels like home.

This kind of mistake cannot happen once, and once it happens, it will be a catastrophe for this family.

Erya stood in the carriage, looking at the street outside the carriage, her own mother, Mo's disheveled hair, stopped passers-by from asking them like a lunatic, raising her hand to show her height and appearance...

When encountering pedestrians with a milder temper, they will stop and shake their heads and wave their hands.

When encountering someone with a bad temper, not only would he push Mo's away, but he would also call him a 'crazy woman'!
When Mo Shi fell to the ground, there was a loud thud, and Arya felt pain when he saw it, but Mo Shi didn't seem to notice it, lying on the ground and watching the hurried steps of pedestrians on the street, still talking in his mouth. Muttering Erya's name.

She got up from the ground and continued walking crookedly, calling "Erya..."

Erya couldn't bear it any longer, slipped under Yang Ruoqing's arm, jumped out of the carriage, and ran towards Mo Shi, crying...

Er Ya was taken to the opposite room by her aunt. In the room on this side, Gao Jing was lying on the bed half dead, and there were two people sitting face to face beside the bed, namely Mo Shi and Yang Ruoqing.

Just now, Yang Ruoqing has already told Mo Shi and Gao Jing how she met Erya.

Both of them were terrified, and finally calmed down a little.

Wiping her tears, Mo said to Yang Ruoqing: "Erya's father is so hurt that the two younger uncles can't get out of bed. I'll take care of them at home. Her aunt helped me take care of Erya's younger brother. It's really a blink of an eye." Er Ya ran away."

"If Erya's father hadn't asked me where Erya was earlier, why I hadn't seen anyone all morning, I probably wouldn't have realized that she was gone..."

"Madam Luo, you are really our family's savior, thank you for helping us bring Er Ya back!"

Mo Shi slid down from the stool, knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Ruoqing.

Gao Jing was also struggling to kowtow to Yang Ruoqing on the bed, but Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to stop Gao Jing: "Your leg is injured, you shouldn't move, lie down and don't move around."

Then she came to Mrs. Mo and picked up Mrs. Mo: "I have met Erya several times, which also shows that I have a predestined relationship with Erya. Don't give me such a big gift. The most urgent thing is to tell me what happened to your family. It's a difficult time, why the three Gao Jing brothers were all injured, and when they first entered the house, they met Uncle Erya, and his uncle didn't look too good."

His forehead was broken and swollen, and it looked like he had kowtowed.

Mo shi sobbed and sat back on the stool, glanced at Gao Jing who was lying upright on the bed, sighed, and wailed what happened:
"Thanks to Mrs. Luo for your great kindness, you gave us blankets, food and money to tide us over,"

"On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the child's father's legs are better and he can go to the ground. We will take the money you gave me, Mrs. Luo, to move to a small inn and rent a common shop first."

"After staying in the inn for five or six days, the child's father and the child's uncle found work outside. The owner originally agreed that the wages would be settled according to the day, twenty yuan a day, one meal at noon, and work in the evening. I will give you money when it is time."

"Wait a minute." Yang Ruoqing interrupted Mo's words by raising her hand.

"What kind of work is twenty Wen a day?" she asked.

Even if you do the work of cleaning tables and chairs and washing pots and bowls in a small food stall, you still have [-] Wen a day, and you also take care of two meals.

If you do manual labor such as transporting, [-] Wen a day is the approximate market price in the county at the moment, and [-] Wen is a bit outrageous.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Mo Shi was also a little dazed and looked at Gao Jing.

Gao Jing breathed out a foul breath, and said in a deep voice, "A large family surnamed Zhang in the county seat said they wanted to build a house and were short of stones, so they hired people to pull stones from the quarry west of the county seat."

"Twenty a day, one meal at noon, and the wages are settled face to face every day."

Yang Ruoqing frowned. She went to the quarry in the county ten years ago because of my fourth uncle.

It turned out that the people in the quarry were related to the Pang Da benevolent person in Huguang County, and the Pang Da benevolent person belonged to the Black Lotus Sect.

After that incident, the quarry closed down, and was later taken over by other businessmen, who were related to Zuo Junmo and were doing serious business.

It's far away, now it's not about the quarry, but the dispute between the Li family and Gao Jing.

"The Li family mainly needs stones to build a house. If you ask Brother Gao to help them pull the stones, you will only be given [-] Wen a day, right?" Yang Ruoqing asked Gao Jing.

Gao Jing nodded.

"Do you also take such a low-paying job? Pulling stones is the most tiring of physical work. It's similar to carrying large bags at the dock, but the docks carry large bags, and they cost fifty or sixty yuan a day!" Yang Ruoqing was very puzzled. road.
