Shoufu's favored wife is sweet and sassy

Chapter 279, life is like a mustard

A total of 28 children from Shantie Village were arranged to live in the backyard with the servants of Xiaoqing's family.

There are seven young children here, and the rest are five, six, seven or eight years old, eleven or twelve, and half-old children. It is not so convenient to sleep with their parents, but Xiaoqing is still a little worried about living alone, so they all stay. In the backyard, someone will take care of it, so you don't have to worry about it.

They are all children who have been soaked in the bitter water of their parents. They are very sensible, and they all have timid and vigilant eyes.

The manpower in the family is not rich, but a few servants still scraped together and found some clothes for the children to change into. They all took a bath, and those with lice had no choice but to shave their hair and wrap it in cloth. , It looks ugly, but after a few years of raising it, it has beautiful hair again, which is better than carrying lice like this.

As soon as the children entered the room, they found that the atmosphere was not right. The older ones pulled the younger ones and huddled tightly together.

"Girl Qing is right. The state owns the state's laws, and the family has its own rules. Ugly words come first."

Sun Ming painted a pipe and pot, looked at the children, and said with a pleasant face:
"Which one of you is the biggest?"

The children were quiet and did not make a sound.

After a long time, a dark and thin girl whispered:
"Master Lizheng, I am eleven this year."

"Hehe, don't be afraid, just call me Grandpa Lizheng, what's your name?"

"Returning to Grandpa, my name is Tian Juan."

"Well, good, good boy, don't be afraid, I asked you to come out to ask what happened and why you left your hometown."

Among the twenty or so children, some of them suddenly showed nervous expressions. Sun Ming picked out those children with a single finger on the pipe and pan.
"Okay, let the rest of the dolls go back and rest, just you guys stay."

"Woooooo, I don't know, I don't know anything, we didn't kill people, sir, we didn't kill people!"

As soon as he was picked up, a timid boy burst into tears, and was pulled by Tian Juan next to him, and twisted his arm severely:
"Stop howling, if you howl again, I'll throw you into the ravine to feed the wolves!"

"Did you forget what you promised your parents? People found out that the wolf bit your ass in the night! You bastard!"

"I...I'm not a coward..."

Shandan'er covered her kicked butt, rubbed her arm that hurt from being pinched by Tian Juan, with two bags of tears in her eyes, she held her mouth aggrieved, and dared not make a sound.

Lao Li was watching all this with a smile, not in a hurry.

"Children, don't be afraid. You won't be blamed for the wrong things done by adults. Dazhang Village won't be unable to leave a few children. If there are grievances and debts, you won't be blamed."

Tian Juan was vigilant and unmoved, and the remaining children also kept their mouths tightly shut, for fear that they might accidentally say the wrong thing.

Even Shan Dan'er, who started to cry, knew he was wrong, shut his mouth tightly, looked at this and that timidly.

"How about it, what do you think?"

It doesn't matter if the child doesn't open his mouth, as long as the person is here, the child's face is a magic mirror, and he can't hide the slightest worry.

Sun Ming turned around and asked Gu Shan,
"Master Lizheng, don't ask, we killed someone, but we did nothing wrong.

They are not human beings, they usually beat us and abuse us, but we bear it, this is life.

But they..."

Gu Shan's voice froze, as if recalling something that made people angry, his chest heaved violently, even after so long, he still couldn't calm down the anger in his heart.

"Oh, that's right, if you don't tell me, we don't know what happened, and the children are scared enough, right?
As I said earlier, everyone is at ease. "

The children looked at each other in blank dismay, a little confused, how could the secret they kept so hard be revealed so easily?
"But they were the ones who bullied Sister Tiantian first!"

"Mountain egg!"

Tian Juan was pulled by Shan Daner and staggered, but it was too late.

Shan Dan'er doesn't know why adults won't let him say that in the eyes of children, killing people is wrong, but he doesn't know that if he wants to die without telling the truth, besides killing people, there are also adults' taboos.

"Ahem, it's okay, it's late, let the children rest, this matter is over, no one should inquire, just pretend that there is nothing about today, do you hear?"

Xiaoqing carefully recalled those faces in Shantie Village, but in a hurry, really couldn't remember which one was Tiantian sister, and sighed slightly in her heart: the world is unfair, the life of a child from a poor family is like nothing, and there is no justice for death.
