Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 76

At the beginning, when Xiaoyu talked about Father Xia's debt to Yin, he mentioned it to Cheng Cheng's family.The Cheng family disliked that the Xia family had no money, so they encouraged Father Xia to gamble.Looking at it now, they were not only instigating to gamble, perhaps the reason Father Xia lost so much money was also related to them.

Xia Junyan rubbed her forehead slightly, and she withdrew her thoughts when she heard Mrs. Zheng outside the door calling her for dinner.It happened that Sun Ze also came back from "buying salt", and couldn't help smiling when he met Xia Junyan.

Sun Ze leaned over and said in a low voice, "I went to Shopkeeper Lu's shop just now, and I happened to meet Master Kong. Our Chef Li suffered twenty boards, and has already been taken back to the countryside to recuperate."

"Will he come back?" Xia Junyan was a little worried.Chef Li's mind became as small as a needle's eye, and he ate her alive after he recovered from the injury.

Sun Ze didn't take it seriously: "This kind of person is the most bullying and fearful. If you scare him, he won't dare to come again."

Merchants are not so particular about eating, and it is common for guys to talk loudly.In addition to Xia Junyan, there are also a few women who help in the kitchen in Jufulou. A few people make up a table, and there are two empty seats for Xia Junyan and Mrs. Zheng.

After traveling for so long, it was the first time that Xia Junyan ate with so many people.Even if I went to Mrs. An's house before, it wasn't so lively, and I couldn't help feeling better.It wasn't until the sun had completely set that the guys left one after another and rushed back to the alley where they lived before closing the workshop.

After one meal, Xia Junyan quickly got used to the life in Jufulou.

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Junyan heard the sound of orderly footsteps outside before the dewdrops on the grass had dried.He put down the wooden basin for washing his face in his hand, slightly pushed the door open, and happened to see a team of yamen servants running past through the crack of the door.

Xia Junyan was taken aback for a moment, when Wei Butou also arrived.Seeing him knock on the door, Xia Junyan opened it quickly.

"Officer, it's early in the morning..." Xia Junyan sharply saw a piece of paper in Wei Butou's hand.
