During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Butcher Zhou shouted, "I would recognize her even if she turned into ashes. She is my daughter."

"You said she is your daughter, do you have any proof?"

"What kind of evidence do we need? She is my daughter!" Butcher Zhou was puzzled.

Huang Bo shook his head, "You can't say that. People are similar. What if she is just a child who looks very similar to your daughter? Wouldn't that be a mistake?"

Butcher Zhou thought for a while, "By the way, this little girl has a scar on her arm. She got it when she went up the mountain to chop wood. It's on her left arm."

Huang Bo went to see the little girl, but she was gone.

Zhong Huai said: "The child may be frightened. I will bring her over right now."

"Zhong Huai?" Lan Xin winked at him.

Zhong Huai shook his head and walked out after a while holding the little girl in his arms.

The little girl's eyes were red and she hid whenever she saw Butcher Zhou.

Huang Bo looked at the little girl's left arm and asked, "What's wrong with her hand?"

Zhong Huai motioned to the little girl to speak on her own.

The little girl looked at Butcher Zhou carefully and said to Huang Bo, "I hurt myself."

Her voice was so low that Huang Bo didn't hear it clearly, but he saw the fear and fear in the little girl's eyes, as well as the old injuries on her body that had not yet recovered.

is a poor child.

Huang Bo gently opened the little girl's arm, and blood gushed out from a cut, quickly staining the little girl's clothes. The flower girl behind him looked distressed.

Lan Xin understood something and looked at Zhong Huai reproachfully.

Zhong Huai ignored her gaze and explained to Huang Bo, "Sir, the child was beaten for no reason just now. He was scared and anxious. When he ran, he didn't pay attention and was scratched by a branch."

Butcher Zhou's eyes widened, "You are so despicable. You even hurt the child just to hold her captive. She is obviously my daughter."

As he said that, he was about to step forward and snatch the child.

Seeing him rushing towards him with a fierce look, Zhou Xiaohua's body shook non-stop, her eyes were full of fear, and she cried out, "I'm not Zhou Xiaohua, I'm not Zhou Xiaohua."

The child's cry was so shrill and harsh that the passers-by were moved.

Huang Bo asked people to pull Butcher Zhou away, "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me?"

Butcher Zhou's eyes were so angry that he said, "She is obviously my daughter. Otherwise, why would she suddenly have more wounds? Even if there is no scar on her arm, there are other scars on her body. Do I still remember the wounds I made myself?" Unless you can peel off all her skin!"

Zhong Huai lost his attention for a moment.

Lan Xin clenched her fists, hesitating whether to beat him to death.

Zhou Xiaohua huddled up and kept saying, "I'm not Zhou Xiaohua, I'm not Zhou Xiaohua, I'm not Zhou Xiaohua!"

Zhong Huai was worried that the child would be frightened and something went wrong. "Sir, the child is injured. Can you find a doctor to take a look at her first?"

Huang Bo also noticed the girl's abnormality and nodded after hearing this. Lan Xin hurriedly said: "Send it to my house first."

Butcher Zhou spat hard, "I am her father. Even if the King of Heaven comes, I can't change it. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in our village. They all know her. Today you must Let me take her away."

"That's just right. You should pay off the money she owes first!"

Jiang Miao stepped forward, first stopped Huang Bo and others who were about to salute, then turned to Butcher Zhou and said, "The nursery will never steal other people's daughters, and the nursery will never engage in loss-making business."

"Who are you?" A flash of fear flashed in Butcher Zhou's eyes, and he quickly lowered his head.

Huang Bo frowned when he saw this.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is how to solve this matter. Did you just say that the little girl is your daughter?"

Butcher Zhou held his shabby clothes in his hands, hunched his neck and nodded, "That's right."

"That's right. The nursery spent a lot of money to treat her. As her father, it's natural that you should pay for it."

Zhong Huaizheng didn't know how to remedy the situation, so he saw Jiang Miao coming and heard her mention money, and he immediately reacted.

"The child just lived and fed in the nursery for several months, and the food alone was quite a lot, and she ate fine grain. This amount alone cost twenty taels of silver."

Butcher Zhou was dumbfounded, "Why do you need twenty taels of silver? Is she eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea?"

Lan Xin said with a smile: "You really dare to think about delicacies from mountains and seas. Because the little girl has been hungry since she was a child and has a bad spleen and stomach, she can only eat some nourishing rice porridge. In order to maintain her body, she put yam and red dates in her porridge. Twenty taels is considered a small amount after eating it for several months."

Huang Bo coughed slightly, "I remember that the elderly at home also have the habit of eating yam porridge. They must have more than a dozen taels a month!"

Butcher Zhou didn't know how much yams cost. He just heard it was medicine and thought it must be expensive.

In order to get his daughter back, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you twenty taels."

Zhong Huai raised his hand, "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. In addition to food and drink, she was even dead when she first came here. The imperial doctor gave her a life-saving medicine. That medicine was Jishitang." Also, one pill cost one hundred and eighty taels of silver. The little girl took three pills one after another, and the total was five hundred and forty taels of silver. Plus other decoctions and wound medicine, the total was eight hundred and seventy-five taels of silver. , I’ll give you zero, eight hundred and eighty taels.”

Butcher Zhou almost burst out, "Is there anyone who is so smug as you?"

"There are food, clothes, and the cost of taking care of her. It must be worth five taels of silver anyway."

Jiang Miao said slowly, "The money in the nursery is the Queen's hard-earned money. The Queen's money is not money. Or do you just want your daughter and don't want to pay back the money?"

Jiang Miao's eyes flashed with cold light, like a wild beast in the jungle, ready to attack people at any time.

Butcher Zhou's legs felt a little weak, "I, I don't have that much money?"

Jiang Miao smiled and said, "Then there is no other way. Unless you have money, she can only stay in the nursery."

"What are you keeping her for? She is just a little girl and can't do anything. If I take her back, won't I save you a mouthful of food?" Butcher Zhou said in a low voice.

"Then how do you calculate the previous money? If you keep her to work when she grows up, you can still pay back the money. If you give her the previous money, wouldn't it be wasted?"

Jiang Miao looked at everyone and said, "Everyone is judging, is this the truth? You only want people without giving money. How can this be the case? Besides, how long has the child been in the nursery before he came here and said that I am the child's biological father?" I don’t believe it, if your child is really missing, who wouldn’t be worried!”

Someone in the crowd echoed, "Yes, it must not be the biological father. If my girl was lost, I would go out and look for her that day." (End of Chapter)
