Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Lu Baichuan nodded and said, "Yes, but they went east, and we met them on the road before."

Qian Xiao gasped and suddenly realized that he had been deceived. He immediately became angry: "You kid deceived me!"

"Believe it or not," Lu Baichuan took two steps back and continued, "By the way, my wife is a doctor. She saw that you were weak and said that she could help you with treatment. As long as you can afford the treatment, I guarantee your recovery."

"Go, go, go! Where's the charlatan from! What a bad luck!"

Qian Xiao was so angry that he chased people away. Unfortunately, he thought Lu Baichuan could tell some important information and did not hesitate to offend the Lin family. In the end, he was deceived and he really had no place to vent his anger.

He had just handled the matter in court, and it was no longer possible to re-examine it. Moreover, the traces were too obvious and could easily be investigated.

In other words, he could only suffer the consequences of this matter, and he had to go to Mr. Lin to apologize afterwards, which inexplicably got him into big trouble.

Jiang Jiuniang and Gou'er left with the Miao family. At this time, the Miao family was grateful to her and wanted to invite them to stay at home, but Jiang Jiuniang refused, saying that she still preferred to stay in an inn.

"Sister Jiang, what did Brother Lu say to the prefect just now? I see his attitude changed instantly. Will this cause you any trouble?"

Miao Lanlan was a smart person and had noticed the changes in the prefect. She was worried that Lu Baichuan was threatening the prefect with something, and it would be bad if she was retaliated afterward.

Jiang Jiuniang waved her hand and said: "It's not a big deal, I just saw that the prefect was not in good health, so I asked my husband to tell him that he was willing to help him see a doctor, and he naturally made a choice."

Of course Jiang Jiuniang knew that Lu Baichuan would not just talk about medical treatment, but that was all the Miao family could know.

"Is the prefect sick?"

Miao Lanlan was very curious. They just looked at each other from a distance, and Jiang Jiuniang could tell that the prefect was sick. This was amazing!
"Of course he does. You see, he doesn't even have the strength to speak. He is weak to a certain extent. If he doesn't get treatment, he probably won't live for a few years."

"so serious!"

The Miao family were all shocked, Jiang Jiuniang nodded, this is the fate of a young man who does not know how to restrain himself.

Everyone returned to the Miao family's small stall. Miao Shan scratched his head and said, "Mom and Dad, I will continue to set up the stall. I am still busy at the moment."

From beginning to end, his mood swings were not great, and he was a person with strong self-control.

But there were no mood swings, which didn't mean that he wouldn't feel sad. After all, he was the wife he chose, and they had lived together for so many years and had two sons.

In the future, without his wife, he will have to take care of his two children and look after this small stall. Life will become very difficult, but he will not regret today's decision.

The daughter-in-law’s problem is too big and has directly affected her two children. Both sons are seven or eight years old, but they never come to help at the stall because the daughter-in-law says that her sons are the treasures of the family and she cannot do anything with them. These menial jobs are tiring.

In the past, his wife was in charge of their family, and he would do whatever she said. Now that he has no wife, he has to educate his children according to his own ideas.

Just like his parents taught him when he was a child, children of poor people have already become masters of their own families and have the ability to settle down and make a living, and their lives will not be difficult when they grow up.

The Miao parents wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say, so they could only nod and let him go ahead.

After Miao Shan left, they said to Miao Lanlan: "Your elder brother was hit hard this time. If you help him more in the future, the Liu family will definitely make trouble again in the future. How thoughtful you are. Don’t tell her the soup base recipe.”

She had long known that Mr. Liu was unreliable, so she never told Mr. Liu the recipe for the soup base in all these years.The son listened to Mrs. Liu in everything else, but he also knew the importance of the formula and did not say anything about it, so they were not afraid that Mrs. Liu would take the Liu family to snatch their business after leaving.

"I know, mother, don't worry."

Miao Lanlan nodded and pulled Jiang Jiuniang to sit down at the table.

As a result, as soon as they sat down, they heard Mother Miao's cursing voice again. After listening carefully, she realized that while they were away, all the food in the stall had been stolen, and then it became filthy and the stall was completely ruined.

Miao's father comforted him: "Forget it, forget it. If you encounter this kind of thing, you can only admit that you are unlucky. Since you can't leave the stall, just go back. There are still distinguished guests tonight!"

Jiang Jiuniang was a little curious: "Why don't you go find out who stole it?"

It feels like they are just scolding and angry, but they have no intention of catching the thief. This seems to be the norm.

Miao Lanlan explained: "It's useless, it's just the kids around here who did it."

As she spoke, she pointed at a group of dirty children on the corner of the street.

They were all covered in black from head to toe, with messy hair, and looked very thin. The older ones were eight or nine years old, and the younger ones were only three or four years old.

"Are these all little beggars?"

Miao Lanlan shook her head: "I'm not a beggar, but I'm more troublesome than a beggar."

Seeing that Jiang Jiuniang was really curious, Miao Lanlan simply helped her parents clean up the stall while telling Jiang Jiuniang about these children in the city.

These children are not beggars, but children from ordinary people's homes in the city. Even though they are very young, they are so pitiful on the street, but they do it deliberately.

Because the whole family, old and young, depends on them for support.

The road conditions in this place are rugged, there is little land, but there is a large population. Each family is allocated very little land, and the family has a large population, so it is impossible to survive farming.

There are coal mines in the mountains, and the government outsources the mining to wealthy businessmen in the city. Just pay the government taxes and coal on time.

Merchants value profits and are unwilling to pay wages. They always let their slaves go mining, and they only need to provide food.

The common people had no chance to make money, so they thought of other ways. They worked hard to have children, let the children go to the mountains to steal coal, and stole money and food on the streets, which was enough to support the whole family.

The children are very young. Even if they are caught stealing, the other party will not be harsh. At most, they will just curse a few words, which will not delay them from continuing to steal next time.

This also leads to children becoming more and more arrogant, daring to steal things like this in broad daylight.

Jiang Jiuniang was so surprised: "Does the government not care?"

Miao Lanlan shook her head: "There is no way to control it. Even the government acquiesces, because the coal and food those children steal do not belong to the government. If they are not allowed to steal, they will need government assistance if they cannot survive. The government will not bear the responsibility. Responsibility, just turn a blind eye to these things.”

At this point, Miao Lanlan sighed and continued: "In the early years, it was okay. The gap between the rich and the poor was not very big. There were many people who were willing to spend money to eat fans, and we could also make money. Nowadays, the rich are getting richer and richer, while the poor are getting poorer and poorer. There are fewer and fewer people eating fans." (End of Chapter)
