Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 110 Matching men and women, work is not tired

"What do you want to do?"

Facing young lady Liu's questioning, Chao An, who is not afraid of life and death, held back for a long time before answering.

"I'll help you. I have strength and can work. You man dies."

Mrs. Liu was furious, and while picking up a broom and hitting the opponent, she cursed: "Get out! Get out!"

After being hit a few times, although it didn't hurt or itch, the pedestrians and neighbors tended to watch, which was quite embarrassing.

Chao An had no choice but to exit the shop and was pushed across the street, crouching in the corner dejectedly.

For the melon-eating people around, Chao An and Liu Shi are considered celebrities. After laughing, they go their own way, waiting for prosperity, and every household has a lot of things to do.

The new county magistrate Zhong issued a notice to promote production, restore industry and commerce, and assist shops and vendors to open their doors by means of interest-free loans.

Opposite the Yun Family Rice Shop is the Yang Ji Cloth Shop. The old lady of the Yang family took a "loan" of [-] bolts of cloth with her two young grandchildren.

A sergeant dragged a cart to deliver the cloth to Yang Ji's gate, and the yamen servant took out the bill and asked the shop to sign for it.

The [-]-year-old old lady of the Yang family thanked repeatedly as she made a note: "Thanks to the county man, the county man has a long life!"

There are rulers and scissors at home, and the old lady who measures and cuts is clear. As long as there is cloth, Yang Ji can open the door to do business.

Human life is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, so buying cloth and ready-made clothes is the top priority in life.

Yangji has a good reputation, and there will definitely be regular customers. If you have a business, you can make money. The two grandchildren will not starve to death, and life will gradually improve.

The yamen sergeant received the signed manifest and continued to deliver the goods to the next family according to the list.

Mrs. Yang Ji took her two little grandsons who were six or seven years old, and brought the cloth back to the shop and arranged them in order.

Seeing that it was very laborious to carry the old and the young, Chao An, who was depressed and bored, stepped forward to help, and picked up five pieces of cloth at a time and sent them to the cloth shop with ease.

At first, Mrs. Yang was a little panicked, but seeing that the honest-looking guy didn't look like a bad guy, she fetched water from the only chipped clay pot at home and handed it to Chao An.

"Young man, drink water!"

"Thank you, Aunt Yang!"

Putting the last few bolts of cloth on the shelf, Chao An didn't refuse, took the water basin, and drank it all in one gulp.

Mrs. Yang, who knew a little about the situation, was old and had seen a lot, so she had a clear understanding of Chao An's thoughts of atonement.

"Young students, listen to the accent, are you from Jingzhou?"

Chao An didn't hide anything, and roughly explained his situation.

"My name is Chao An, from Changsha, and I came here with my elder brother to make a living."

Mrs. Yang thought for a while, and said based on her impression: "Oh, it was Changsha where the rioters were rioting the year before last. Where's your brother?"

"The siege was injured and did not survive."

When Mrs. Yang heard about it, she was immediately saddened. The Xunyang flood and the riots killed at least tens of thousands of people. It is not fake that every family wears mourning.

After a while, Mrs. Yang looked at the rice shop of Yun's house again, and asked, "Mistress Liu?"

Chao An rarely blushed, and said with a little confidence: "I am a slave to sin."

Mrs. Yang knew that a criminal slave who could move freely during the day proved that the crime was not serious.

According to rumors, a sinful slave like Chao An can be exonerated after three years of hard work.

"The rice shop is full of physical work!"

As soon as Mrs. Yang finished speaking, a cart of grain was delivered to the door of the Yunjia Rice Shop.

The yamen servant took out the bill of lading and shouted: "Miss Liu, the rice is here, sign for it!"

"Hey, come, come!"

Before people arrive, the sound is heard first.

Chao An immediately looked at Mipu.

The charming Liu Niangzi, together with the yellow-haired girl Yunduoer, ran out of the house, thanking them while drawing a "ten" on the manifest.

After unloading the one thousand catty grain package, the sergeant and government servant left, but Mrs. Liu was in trouble.

She and Yun Duo were so tired and drenched in sweat that they could barely drag a bag of grain to the door.

Mrs. Yang said suddenly: "Hey, why didn't you go to someone to help?"

Chao An's heart brightened, and he ran to Yun's rice shop.

Picking up a bag in one hand, under the surprised eyes of Liu's mother and daughter, they moved into the shop.

Liu Mei deliberately refused, but in the end she still lost to reality.

The neighbors are full of old and weak women and children, and the yamen servants and soldiers are too busy to touch the ground. Orphans and widows really can't do heavy work.

"No!" The word was never uttered.

One closed his lips tightly, and the other was silent, without making a sound, without much effort, ten bags of rice went into the bunk.

Five hundred catties of millet, two hundred catties of rice, two hundred catties of corn, and one hundred catties of beans.

According to the guide price of the county government, the purchase price of ten bags of grain is [-] yuan, and the selling price is about [-] to [-] yuan.

The weather was hot, and Chao An was busy, even if he didn't feel strenuous, he was still covered in sweat.

Liu Mei, who frowned at Emei, put the broken porcelain bowl filled with water heavily in front of Chao An.

Reciprocity is a traditional virtue.

Chao An, who had just drank a large basin of water, was not thirsty.

"I just drank the water given by the Yang family."

Liu Mei raised her eyebrows upside down, and shouted: "Why, do you dislike the dirty water in the Yun family?"

"No, without me."

never mind!

Chao An, who had become clumsy, raised his head and drank it.

"Cough cough."

After wiping his mouth and gently putting down the broken porcelain bowl, Chao An walked out of the rice shop with his head down, and returned to the corner.

In this way, Chao An, who "match men and women" with Yunjia Mipu, became the "live frontman" of Xunyang West Market Second Street.

In the evening, thinking it was almost time for dinner, Chao An came to the rice shop again and found Liu Mei was washing rice and cooking.

"There is a porridge shed at the entrance of the county government office, no money required"

Liu Mei glanced at it disdainfully, and said proudly: "My family has rice!"

Chao An, who was bored, said bitterly, "I'm going back to eat some food, and I'll come back tomorrow."

Not a felony slave, he helps the residents of Xunyang to resume production and life every day, and must return to the designated camp to sleep at night.

Of course, a sin slave could run away, but it was a felony to be caught.

What's more, Zhi Jinwu promised to have food and sleep every day, and after three years of hard labor, he would be restored to his status as a commoner, and he would be given [-] acres of land.

It sounds fantastic, but what if?
Therefore, no one would run away foolishly.

Looking up at the back of the other party, Liu Mei didn't say anything.

When Chao An returned to the slave camp, his younger brother Wu Pu returned smelling like medicine, and the two went to line up to receive the meal together.

"Brother An, are you tired today?"

"Not tired, nothing heavy work, how about you?"

Wu Pu scratched his head and said, "Master Hua doesn't do any heavy work, he just let me smell the herbs, it makes me want to vomit."

"Smell the herbs? What do you mean?"

"Who knows? By the way, Zhi Jinwu came today and asked how he treated Brother Chao's wounds that day. Is it to cure the crime of the genius doctor Hua?"

At this time, Chao An, who was already at peace, had seen with his own eyes that Hua Tuo treated other wounded patients very well, and his medical skills were indeed superb.

Therefore, even if his elder brother Chao Quan did not cut his abdomen and treat his injuries, there is a high probability that he would not survive.

With such a fate, I can't blame others.

"Nonsense, my brother's injury can't be healed at all, how can we blame Miracle Doctor Hua?"

Life and death are fate, Wu Pu agrees very much.

These days, many people have died due to injuries and illnesses where medical treatment was ineffective. If this is true, wouldn't all the doctors be killed?

Dinner is very simple, a bowl of rice, a spoonful of salt-soy beans, and a vat of vegetable soup to drink casually.

Sin slaves who work hard to build dikes and roads, it is said that there will be two extra meals at noon.

In short, no one is unconvinced by what Jin Wu says and does.

After dinner, most of the elders in the camp lay down to sleep obediently, but Chao An couldn't sleep.

I always feel that I should do something for Liu's mother and daughter, but what can I do?
At this time, Wu Pu, who smelled his own scent, was very disgusted.

"Brother An, do you want to take a bath?"

Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, and your body is sticky, so let's go.

Not far from the camp, there is a large pond where many people are bathing.

He took off his clothes and jumped into the pond, plunged into the deep water, and sure enough, he was refreshed.

Suddenly, something underwater touched Chao An's calf.

What the hell!

What the hell?
Immediately, Chao An's eyes lit up: Why didn't I think of it?
　Happy Sunday folks!
