Wang's little lady

Chapter 71 The Eve
"From the town or from a nearby village?" Hongdou asked next.

"I don't know. We have been wandering on the streets as long as we can remember. In order to survive better, the three brothers worked together. There is strength in numbers."

"When we grew up, we took care of ourselves and paid others to do some private work, but we didn't do anything that went against our conscience. We...we still wanted to keep a queen for ourselves."

When Meng Da said this, the three of them felt a little embarrassed. If others knew that they still had this intention, they would probably laugh.

How could a girl from a good family fall in love with them?
But we still have to have dreams, just in case they come true.Hehe~
Thinking of this, the three of them turned their attention to Hongdou again, hoping that she could give a straightforward answer.

If not, they have to find other jobs.

"I promise you."

Wha, what?Is this a promise?
Meng and Da looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes: "Thank you, girl."

Mother-in-law Xie pulled her granddaughter aside, isolated the three of them behind her back, and said softly: "I really agree, if they are..."

Hongdou understood her grandma's worries. After all, the previous unhappiness between the two parties was real.

However, these three people do not seem to be treacherous or evil people, especially since they grew up in the town. They might be able to help with something.

However, grandma's worries are not unreasonable.

Hongdou turned around and looked at the three people with happy faces again: "Although I promised you, the discord between our two families still exists. If we really want to cooperate, we also want to see your sincerity."

Meng Da was a little hesitant. What more sincerity was needed? Isn't it sincerity that they came to report?
"We secretly tipped off the information to help you escape Shopkeeper Zhou's plan. Isn't that sincerity?"

"Dare you ask your surname, brother?" Hongdou asked with a smile.

Although Meng Da felt that this girl from the Xie family was a little out of touch, he didn't care much about it: "My surname is Meng."

"Brother Meng, we have already taken precautions over at Mingyue Tower. To be honest, your coming today is just the icing on the cake."

"Calculating it this way, my family still suffers from this transaction."

Meng Da couldn't help scratching his head. He felt that his mind was a little confused now. What the other party said seemed right, but also seemed wrong.

But he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.Forget it, ask the other person what they want to do.

"What kind of sincerity does the girl want?"

With her mother and grandma blocking her, Hongdou secretly prepared a bag of powdery stuff and took it out.

"Before the three of you came to us for cooperation, you must have inquired about Dr. Sun taking me in as his granddaughter, right? This packet is the poisonous powder that Grandpa Sun gave me for self-defense. Eat it, and I will give it to you when the matter at Mingyue Tower is over. Your antidote.”

Meng Da, Meng Er and Meng San were not willing to hear the poisonous powder. Who would be so stupid as to swallow the poisonous powder on the spot?

"Isn't the girl going too far?" Meng Da disagreed.

Upon seeing this, Hongdou took back the hand holding the poisonous powder and wrapped it again, then called to grandma, mother, Xiaoya, and brother to pick up the things again and leave.

Seeing that they were so direct and without any hesitation, Meng Da and the other three couldn't stand any longer and hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop them.

"Girl, why are you making things so difficult for our third brother? This is poison after all. As long as there is no brain problem, who would take this?"

Meng Da tried his best to explain. Didn't he just say it well?Why did he change his mind so quickly? It's hard to guess what the girl's family was thinking.

Hongdou took another step forward: "Brother Meng, this powder will not kill you immediately. Our original intention is just to ensure our own safety, and we don't want to be murderers."

"Otherwise, if you three men want to deal with us, we are no match for you."

Meng Da hesitated, and the three of them gathered together and murmured for a while. Finally, Meng Da made the decision and said bravely: "We are willing to believe the girl for once."

Hongdou felt happy in her heart. It seemed that there was a high probability that the other party would come to her door to make a living. Otherwise, she would not agree to take medicine from an unknown source.

For safety's sake, Xiaoya took the medicine and handed it to Meng Da, signaling them to take it on the spot.

After Meng Da and the three men took it, they looked like they were sacrificing their lives for righteousness, which made Mrs. "Are you going to eat or not? It's not going to cost you your life. Don't you want to live a serious life and marry a wife?"

"If the matter is settled this time, you can sell the jelly. Now that you are making a living, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a wife? In the worst case, I will arrange it for you."

Really, if they delay any longer, the sun will set. They have to grind peas again when they go back, and they have to guard against Mingyue Tower causing trouble. They have a lot to do.

"Auntie, are you serious?" The three of them opened their eyes wide and looked at Granny Xie with surprise. At this moment, they felt that the hundreds of sentences before Hongdou were not as good as Granny Xie's last sentence.

When Mrs. Xie looked at them like this, she didn't understand anything. She tried her best to hold back the rolling eyes and glanced at her granddaughter: "My old lady, it works, right?"

Not only Hongdou, but also Zhang, Tuan Geer and Xiaoya couldn't help laughing. These three people were quite funny.

Anko smiled and winked at her grandma.

Mrs. Xie received her granddaughter's hint, then cleared her throat, looked at the three of them and responded:

"Seriously. Once you have a legitimate business, I will go find you a wife. If you have a wife, are you afraid that you will not have a son?"

Meng Da, Meng Er and Meng San thought about the hot bed with their wife and children in the near future, and they became heartbroken and swallowed the white powder in their hands.

I almost choked in my throat.

"Girl, aunt, you should be satisfied now."

Hongdou and Mrs. Xie nodded and smiled at each other: "Brother Meng, please explain Mingyuelou's next move in detail?"

All the medicine has been taken, and now everyone is just a grasshopper on the same rope. Meng Tianzi helps his own people.

"Shopkeeper Zhou is arrogant and has some financial resources. He often doesn't want to use his brain when doing things. This time he also used a direct approach."

Sunset West Mountain.

The Xie family had dinner, brushed and fed Mei Hua, and then gathered in the yard to grind peas.

They are not completely sure of how the unknown will go, but they still have to do what needs to be done, and they can't just sit and wait.

"Grandma, don't be pushy. Xiaoya and I can come. Meihua's temperament has improved a lot, and she is now willing to let me lead her."

After all, as you get older, you have to do less heavy work. If your waist slips or falls accidentally, everyone in the family will be worried.

"Okay, your mother and I will go clean up the kitchen while you two wait. Brother Tuan, remember to read and write down the words you learned today. In case Dr. Sun asks you, you won't be able to answer."

Brother Tuan, who was sitting under the eaves and endorsed the book, said loudly: "I understand, grandma."

Every time Tuan Ge'er finished learning Chinese characters, he would make a note of it before going to bed that day. He was very diligent. Hongdou was not worried about his brother at all, but only became more determined to send Tuan Ge'er to school.

As the night gradually deepened, Hongdou and Xiaoya replaced the peas ground today with water and placed them in the kitchen.

Tonight everyone is resting in grandma's room. Several people have already made some arrangements in the courtyard, and have also placed handy tools in the house.

Xiaoya waved her fists at a few people, with a serious look on her face, as if she was making a promise.

Several people were a little nervous at first, but seeing her like this, they were only a little nervous now.

When the family stays together, they feel more at peace.

"Okay, come here and have a rest. Everyone needs to be more alert tonight. We'll be fine after dawn."

After Anko said that, she stood up and blew out the candles in the room.

The bright room just now turned dark in an instant.
