Chapter 184 Mercy
Not long after Qu Hong left, another person sneaked into the courtyard.

It’s not quite right to say that they were acting sneakily, after all, the front door of Zhang Yuan’s house has not been reinstalled yet.

Anyone can come and go freely.

But the man had a hunched back and a mean look on his face, and he didn't look like a good person.

It’s old man Kou Taikoo!

Zhang Yuan looked at the other person coldly, wanting to see what tricks this old man was playing.

Actually, he had only met Old Man Kou once.

But after a few words of communication, Zhang Yuan knew exactly what kind of person the other party was.

I don't have any good feelings towards it.

"Little brother, we meet again."

Kou Tai seemed not to notice Zhang Yuan's expression. He smiled with a shameless face and said, "I'm glad you're okay!"

Zhang Yuan really had no interest in talking nonsense with the other party, so he just looked at him without saying anything.

His eyes were full of ridicule.

No matter how thick-skinned Old Man Kou was, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Little brother, do you remember what I told you last time? That man is dead, and now only she is left..."

"roll!"

Zhang Yuan pointed to the door with a hatchet in his hand.

"Feel sorry."

Old Man Kou stepped back with a smile on his face, and explained humbly: "I have no ill intentions, it's just..."

He retreated to the door, then lowered his voice and continued, "Little brother, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Qu Hong is not a good person. You have to be careful!"

Zhang Yuan was a little surprised. He put down the hatchet and said, "If I tell Manager Qu what you said, do you know the consequences?"

Qu Hong is definitely not a good person.

How could a good person be a manager in a place like Xishanji!
But this old man in front of me is quite courageous.

How dare you say such things to him.

Old Man Kou chuckled and said, "I don't have many days left to live. Nothing matters except death. It doesn't matter."

He spoke these few words quite clearly, with a strong sense of discussing life and death.

This changed Zhang Yuan's impression of this old guy a little.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yuan said, "How about this, if you help me fix the gate, I'll give you 100 kilograms of food."

Old Man Kou's eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"

Zhang Yuan ignored him and continued chopping his firewood.

"I'll take care of this!"

Old Man Kou didn't care. He turned around and left happily, his steps at least ten times faster than when he came.

Zhang Yuan shook his head speechlessly.

But what he didn't expect was that old man Kou came back after just an incense stick of time.

Not only did he bring back two intact wooden doors, but he also brought back a woman!

This woman has a tall figure, broad breasts, a slim waist, and beautiful eyes and eyebrows.

Although she is not a great beauty, her appearance is outstanding, especially her long legs which are particularly eye-catching.

She was wearing a plain skirt with a long sword at her waist, which made her look quite heroic.

Zhang Yuan noticed that there was a white flower in the other person's hair.

This is the mark of a widow.

Old Man Kou bowed and explained, "Little brother, this is the wife of the Chen family. I can't carry two doors by myself, so I asked her for help. I don't have any other intentions!"

This old guy!
It’s simply trying to cover up the truth!

Zhang Yuan said calmly: "Wait."

He turned and went to the kitchen and brought out a large bag of rice.

Then I saw Old Man Kou and Madam Chen installing the gate together.

The size of this wooden door is very standard, and the door frame in Zhang Yuan's house is still there, so it is easy to install.

Old Man Kou even brought a door bolt.

Three or two steps to complete the task!
In fact, such a gate can neither keep out weirdness nor protect against warriors.

A warrior with the first-level Ming Jin cultivation can easily climb over the wall and enter the yard.

The defensive effect is almost zero.

But the door represents the homeowner’s bottom line!
Even if it is just symbolic, it is necessary for it to exist.

Zhang Yuan watched the two men install the gate, then stepped forward and handed the rice bag to Old Man Kou: "Here." Old Man Kou happily took the rice bag and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, thank you, little brother!"

Madam Chen stood aside, saying nothing.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the other person and said to Old Man Kou: "Don't bother me if you have nothing to do in the future."

It was obvious that Old Man Kou brought Madam Chen here; it was definitely not as simple as helping to install the door.

This widow also looks quite delicious.

But Zhang Yuan didn't have any idea in his mind.

It's not that Zhang Yuan is heartless and has no desire for women.

But he is not interested in this, and it would be troublesome to keep another woman at home.

And before breaking through the fourth level, Zhang Yuan needs to maintain his Yuan Yang body to lay the most solid foundation for martial arts!
Old man Kou didn't know Zhang Yuan's ambitions, so his efforts were completely in vain.

He smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

At this moment, Mrs. Chen beside him suddenly said, "Brother Zhao, can you lend me some money?"

Zhang Yuan and Old Man Kou were both stunned.

Old Man Kou was a little anxious: "Mrs. Chen..."

In the end, Madam Chen ignored him and looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "I can write you an IOU, nine out of ten and thirteen back!"

It was obvious that the widow mustered up her courage to say this, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

Not shy, but embarrassed!

Zhang Yuan asked calmly, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Madam Chen: "Eighty, no, fifty taels is enough!"

She lowered her head and said, "My husband is dead, and I can't stay in Xishanji anymore. I plan to go to Xucheng to seek refuge with a sister."

"But I can't take advantage with empty hands!"

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said to Old Man Kou, "You go back first."

Old man Kou, who was in a daze, reacted and said hurriedly, "Okay!"

The old man hurried away carrying the bag of rice.

Zhang Yuan said to Chen Niangzi again: "Come with me."

Madam Chen gritted her teeth and followed Zhang Yuan into the room.

Entering the inner room, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her hand to unbutton her clothes.

Zhang Yuan turned around and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Mrs. Chen's movements suddenly froze, and her face looked as if it was on fire.

Zhang Yuan took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the table: "Write."

Mrs. Chen was confused: "What to write?"

Zhang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's an IOU!"

"what."

Mrs. Chen finally reacted and hurriedly picked up the brush on the table.

At this time, Zhang Yuan took out a few silver bills from his arms, picked one and placed it in front of the other party.

A silver note with a face value of one hundred taels!

"I'll lend you this money, and I won't charge you any interest."

Zhang Yuan said calmly: "When you have money, just remember to pay me back in time."

Although the appearance is very different.

But the lady Chen in front of him made him think of Liu Qiniang.

Hence a trace of compassion.

Madam Chen looked at the banknotes on the table, her eyes changing from puzzled to surprised, grateful to happy...

There are so many different things.

"Thank you!"

She whispered, her voice choking with sobs: "I will definitely return it to you!"

Then the lady from the Chen family wrote an IOU to Zhang Yuan.

Her handwriting is surprisingly good.

Zhang Yuan sent Madam Chen out the door.

Also got rid of a trouble.
