Chapter 259 The Sun Family’s Plan

The three of them met, and after a brief exchange of greetings, Mr. Bai took the mother and daughter to see where they lived.

This merchant ship is divided into two levels: upper and lower.

The lower level stores the cargo, and the upper level is the guest room.

Mr. Bai spent money in advance and booked two guest rooms.

It will take at least four or five days to travel to Xuzhou by water, so the place to rest must be booked in advance.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the residence. In addition to a bed, there was a table with a pair of tea sets placed on the table.

Unremarkable.

Very ordinary room.

After Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the room, she followed her mother to the deck.

The deck is full of people at the moment. Some people are leaning on the side of the ship and taking a nap, some people are chatting together in twos and threes, and some people are sitting alone in the corner in a daze...

Most of them are poor people who have no money to buy guest rooms. They are wearing shabby clothes and carrying large and small bags in their hands.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced around and then looked away. Her mother's voice rang in her ears: "There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons on this ship. I don't know what kind of people are hidden. You have to be careful about your belongings."

The sea breeze blowing in front of her was slightly cool, and Jiang Xiaoxiao subconsciously shrank her neck and nodded repeatedly.

She also noticed that although the few people who were sleeping on the side of the ship had their eyes closed, their hands were calmly holding on to their own baggage.

The group of people talking seemed enthusiastic and generous, but in fact they were all wary and inquiring about each other's origins overtly and covertly.

Both mother and daughter are people with sharp ears and eyes, and the words of those people talking floated into their ears word by word.

"Hey, you are also from Qingping County. Are you going to Xuzhou?"

The man shook his head: "I went to the county town to find my relatives, and I had to get off the boat halfway."

The merchant ship's destination was Xuzhou, but there were also many people who disembarked on the way.

Most of these people are from Qingping County. As for why they came to take the boat in Yong'an Town, it has to be said that Sun Yuanwai offended Fu'an Trading Company.

"Oh, I arrived at the Yong'an Town Pier two days in advance. I didn't expect the ship to leave today."

"Why did you say that the Sun family's ship, which was in good condition, was out of service?"

"Who knows...but, I heard that the Sun family offended someone."

As soon as these words came out, everyone came over one after another.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also listened with interest.

She didn't expect that Jiang Yu would be so cruel to the Sun family and directly stopped the Sun family's ships.

This undoubtedly cut off the lifeline of the Sun family.

……

at the same time.

A restaurant not far from Yongan Town Pier. Member Sun was outside in the private room on the second floor by the window, gritting his teeth and looking at the bustling dock below.

He seemed to be getting angrier as he watched, so angry that he dropped the cup in his hand.

Mrs. Zheng next to her cautiously stepped forward to persuade: "Master, don't get so angry..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was slapped in the face by Sun Yuanwai.

"Look at your good brother! What did he do to offend that girl from the Jiang family? My Sun family's property was almost destroyed by him!"

Zheng was slapped and could only cover her face in aggrieved manner, not daring to speak at all.

When Zheng Yaocai saw his sister being beaten, he couldn't help but defend himself: "You can't blame me entirely, it's all Duan Yu's fault... Besides, hasn't Jiang Yu returned to Beijing a long time ago? You are a member of the Communist Party of China, so you are afraid of her." What does a peasant woman do?”

"What do you know!" Sun Yuanwai suppressed his anger and almost gritted his teeth, "Do you think I would be afraid of a mere peasant woman? She is not protected by the magistrate of Yong'an County. If it weren't for the concern about that relationship, I have long since fattened her family..."

Halfway through the words, Sun Yuanwai suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking outside the door from the corner of his eye, and swallowed back the words that followed.

But Ms. Zheng understood it. She rolled her eyes and thought of the old man who had just grabbed the girl of the Jiang family and called her granddaughter on the pier, so she said flatteringly: "Master, I know you have concerns in your heart, but Mr. Jiang can't control you." She is a peasant woman, no matter how powerful she is, she can't make a difference. If we put a charge on her...even if the magistrate of Yong'an County is protecting her, she will have to surrender and be captured..."

"Oh?" When Sun Yuanwai heard this, he immediately became interested, "What can you do?"

"Master, I also sent someone to inquire about the Jiang family before. Do you still remember the old man on the dock just now? He is the Jiang family's father-in-law." The smile on Zheng's face was vaguely malicious. "Then Mrs. Jiang made money by herself, but she was not filial to her parents-in-law, disrespectful to her sisters-in-law, and even hung out with wild men outside in the past few years before her husband returned home..."

"Bah, such a dishonest bitch still has the nerve to live in this world!" Zheng Yaocai, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand listening anymore and started to curse.

Zheng continued with a smile: "Master, our Emperor of Dayin values ​​filial piety most. If a woman like her who has lost all her virtues is brought to court, the magistrate of Yong'an County will be powerless even if she wants to protect her. ”

"That makes sense." Member Sun nodded, "But we are not related to her, so why should we take her to court?"

"Master, don't worry, just leave all this to me." Ms. Zheng leaned forward slightly and looked at Mr. Li again not far from the pier. "As far as I know, the Li family has been driven out of Yuhe Village. As long as I give you a little favor, the Li family will definitely help us take Jiang to court. "

Mr. Sun nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll leave this to you."

……

At this moment, Mr. Li has no idea that he is about to be pulled into a trap to frame the Jiang family.

He was limping towards the temple in the suburbs.

At this time, there were a few beggars sitting in the temple in twos and threes. When they saw him coming in, they just casually drooped their eyelids, then turned over and continued to sleep.

He walked to the corner of the temple and saw Li Xiufen leaning against the wall and giggling.

She was covered in filth, and her clothes had not been washed for who knows how many days. They exuded a rancid smell, and her hair was a mess, full of dust and grass clippings. Coupled with that hideous and terrifying face, no one dared to Move closer to her.

Mr. Li didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.

Because of Li Xiufen's disfigured face, the beggars in the temple would not attack her, and her innocence... was preserved.

Seeing Mr. Li, Li Xiufen, who was giggling in the corner, suddenly rushed towards him and grabbed what he wanted to eat: "Dad... I'm hungry, I want to eat."

"Xiufen, I don't have anything to eat. Let's wait until your mother comes back." Faced with his daughter's plea, Mr. Li just let go of her hand indifferently. He seemed to dislike the bad smell emanating from her body and took two steps back. , then found a quiet place to sit down, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He is actually hungry too.

He was also waiting for Mrs. Li to come back with food.
