Traveling through ancient farming

Chapter 196

Scared to death!
Fortunately, Yuan Bao has great strength and quick response, otherwise he would suffer a big loss this time.Chang Ming's cold sweat dripped from his forehead.There are dangers everywhere.

The frightened Chang Ming took Yuan Bao and stayed at the old woman's house honestly, waiting for the boat to Licheng.

Li Cheng's boat is very luxurious, a big boat with two floors.The lower class requires five hundred cash per person, while the upper class requires two taels of silver per person.

The two of them are children, so they don't need so much money to give an adult's money.

Choose upper for safety.The upper floor is a small single room.There are four beds in the small studio.A bed is half a meter wide and two meters long.The two people only paid for one bed, so naturally they can only use one bed.

Fortunately, the two of them are not fat, and they can just sleep on their sides.

The other three beds are for a family, an old lady and a middle-aged couple.Husband and wife with a chubby child.

With a benevolent face, the old lady pulled her daughter-in-law to talk.

"This time when we went back to the countryside, we saw how miserable our old family was. You must be relieved. The people of the clan are living in a difficult situation, and we have no face. Help if you can. Be kind. You are like this It’s not good to be reasonable or not to forgive others.”

The madam was displeased, but she couldn't refute her mother-in-law's words.Turn your head to look at your husband and ask him to express his opinion.

The husband is a little soft-hearted. This time when he returned home, he saw that the people in his family were living in despair.After a pause, he had already softened a little, met his wife's eyes, remembered what the clansman had done, and said hard.

"They did it to themselves. Mother, you mean well, but they are not the ones who can repay the favor. Not all the good people in the world."

The old lady stared at her son and said.

"Back then, everyone in a village had to work hard, so you could be successful in your studies. Now that you have been admitted as a scholar, you have a good wife, and you are on the rise. You must not forget your roots in life. The clansman is not our family's servant girl. Keep an eye on Lang Er all the time.

The clansmen cannot be blamed for Lang'er getting lost.It's just that we didn't like it.I think I will go home this time, buy some servants and come back to guard our Yuer.Don't be angry with the people here. "

Seeing that her husband didn't speak, the madam knew that she was suppressed by the old madam's words again, thinking of those miserable clansmen, she felt uncomfortable.

"Mother, I won't forget about Lang'er's affairs. The clansmen are worshiping, and the other children have nothing to do. Why did something happen to my Lang'er? I didn't make them pay the price, it was already for my mother's sake. It is impossible for our family to help them."

The atmosphere suddenly became dull.

The old lady looked uncomfortably at the two children who were on the boat together.Because Chang Ming and Yuan Bao were children, people were less alert, and the old lady teased them.

"Where are you adults?"

Chang Ming pinched himself, burst into tears, and said pitifully.

"My father is a scholar, and my mother is a peasant girl. My father was admitted as a scholar, abandoned my mother, and found a lady from a rich family. My mother saw that our two brothers and sisters were burdens, so we married. My brother and sister went to Licheng to find my father. of."

Seeing Chang Ming opening his mouth and coming out with a piece of cabbage field yellow, Yuan Bao suppressed a smile, couldn't help it, lowered his head, and shrugged his shoulders.

Looks a bit like crying.

The old lady expressed her kindness and comforted her.

"What a poor child. What's your father's name and where does he live? When you arrive in Licheng, your brothers and sisters don't know each other well. We'll send you there first. If your father doesn't recognize you, we'll sue the officials!"
