"If you're not bullying, how can you bully him?" Yang Jiu smiled at Minghe without any yin and yang, then looked at Xiao Yu and said, "We just want to discuss something with him."
"What's going on?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Young people don't speak secretly, Mr. Xiao Xiaolang, from now on, don't go to the small wharf to sell steamed buns anymore." Yang Jiu said straightforwardly.
Yang Jiu's daughter-in-law Wu nodded in agreement.
Is this called discussion?
This is obviously an order!
When Mrs. Liu reminded Xiao Yu to be careful about traveling with him, he had already guessed that the traveling companion was Yang Jiu and his wife. He also knew that these two people were selling steamed buns at the small wharf and in the town respectively, and their business was pretty good.
However, after he appeared, the business at their small dock stopped. He received their angry looks more than once, and now he was surrounded by them again. He was not surprised or panicked, but took a step forward to block the Minghe River. behind.
Unexpectedly, Minghe held the white radish and ran to him again.
Xiao Yu whispered: "Minghe, go to the back."
Minghe insisted: "No, I want to protect my uncle."
Xiao Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stopped caring about Minghe, looked at Yang Jiu and asked, "Why don't you go to the small wharf to sell steamed buns anymore?"
"You have affected my business." Yang Jiu said.
"How did I influence it?" Xiao Yu looked confused.
"Everyone on the street has bought your buns, and no one has bought mine!" Yang Jiu said.
"That's right." Wu agreed.
"This is because of pedestrians. What does it have to do with me?" Xiao Yu said.
Yang Jiu and his wife observed Xiao Yu for several days, and even inquired about his life experience. They found out that his father, mother, sister, and brother-in-law were all dead, and he had no relatives at home. He lived alone with his nephew. He was handsome but not narcissistic. He smiles when he sees people, thinking he has a good temper, but he didn't expect to be so sharp-tongued
Neither of them knew how to read. They could be arrogant and domineering, but they couldn't be reasonable.
Yang Jiu immediately raised his voice: "You want to cheat, don't you?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "You must be the one cheating."
"Stop talking nonsense, I just want to ask you, are you leaving?" Yang Jiu asked.
"I'm not leaving." Xiao Yu said in a straight tone.
"Then you can't blame me!" Yang Jiu rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Xiao Yu.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wu quickly persuaded her: "Little Master, please stop being so stubborn. It hurts when he hits someone. If your buns are delicious, go sell them elsewhere to avoid getting beaten."
"I'll beat you!" Minghe raised the white radish and rushed towards Yang Jiu first.
"Minghe!" Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Minghe's collar.
Minghe couldn't move forward, and kept waving the white radish in his hand.
Yang Jiu had already walked over and wanted to catch Xiao Yu.
"Yang Jiu." Xiao Yu's voice was cold.
Yang Jiu's heart trembled when he heard this, and his movements stopped.
"Xiao Yu!" Suddenly a familiar voice came.
Zhang Wu ran over panting, and stood in front of Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, is someone bullying you?" As he said that, he also rolled up his sleeves and got ready to start.
Although he is not a tall person, he is not short either, and his complexion is dark. He looks like he works hard. Wu walked up to Yang Jiu with some fear and whispered: "Master, this..."
"I'm afraid they won't succeed!" Yang Jiuheng was extremely worried.
"Come on." Zhang Wu stepped forward.
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to block Zhang Wu and said, "Don't move, I'll do it."
"You?" Zhang Wu expressed doubts.
Xiao Yu nodded: "Well, help me keep an eye on Minghe, and I'll kill him!"
Death?
What kind of death is this?
Zhang Wu was very curious about what Xiao Yu was going to do, so he pulled Ming He aside. He thought that if Xiao Yu couldn't handle it, then he and Xiao Yu would not suffer any loss if they beat a man together, so he pulled Ming He aside and stood aside.
Minghe screamed: "Don't bully my little uncle!"
Xiao Yu turned around and said, "No, don't worry Minghe."
Minghe fell silent for a moment.
Xiao Yu looked at Yang Jiu again, his whole body became solemn, and asked: "Yang Jiu, are you ready to use force?"
"Don't talk nonsense, we haven't moved yet." Wu said.
"You always like to be rough with people, don't you?" Xiao Yu looked at Yang Jiu.
"So what?" Yang Jiu said confidently.
"Aren't you afraid of revenge?"
"Who dares?"
"Me." Xiao Yu said with a faint smile on his face, "I am a very vengeful person. If someone kills me, I will not let him go even if I am a ghost!"
People these days believe in ghosts and gods. When Xiao Yu said it so blatantly, Yang Jiu and his wife were inexplicably frightened, especially Wu. She tugged on the hem of Yang Jiu's clothes.
Yang Jiu forced himself to confront Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "If he can't be killed, and I can't beat him, then I will kill his father, his mother, and his son behind his back... Anyway, I have to be angry. OK."
"How dare you!" Yang Jiu yelled!
Zhang Wu took a step forward.
Xiao Yu stopped Zhang Wu and continued: "Isn't this okay? Then I'll find another way."
Wu asked: "What else do you want to do?"
Xiao Yu said solemnly: "Article 15 of the third volume of the Dajing Laws, whoever beats others without reason and causes minor injuries shall be punished with twenty sticks and a fine of one tael of silver; whoever beats others without reason and causes serious injuries shall be punished with thirty sticks and be imprisoned for half a month and fined one silver Fifty taels; those who beat others to death without reason will be punished by death, exile, imprisonment or fine according to the circumstances. Yang Jiu, Madam Yang, which one do you want to choose?"
In this era of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", the more uneducated people are, the more they respect the literate, not to mention that Xiao Yu spoke the Dajing Law seriously.
Yang Jiu and Wu were stunned.
Zhang Wu knew that Xiao Yu was literate, but he didn't expect Xiao Yu to be so powerful.
Minghe held the big white radish and looked at his uncle with a raised face. He felt that his whole body was shining, and his dark eyes were full of admiration.
Xiao Yu did not stop and continued: "Oh, by the way, I remember that your cousin's nephew's wife's brother's father-in-law holds an important position in the Yamen, right?"
Yang Jiu and Wu blurted out: "How did you know?"
"Because you relied on him to bully people before." Xiao Yu seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "By the way, Article 45 of Volume 5 of the Dajing Laws states that officials who falsely accuse the poor shall be treated as accessories. .”
Yang Jiu and Wu's expressions were extremely ugly.
Xiao Yu asked back: "Yang Jiu, Mrs. Yang, do you want to continue?"
Yang Jiu didn't expect that teaching Xiao Yu would lead to so many things.
Wu tugged at the hem of Yang Jiu's clothes and said, "The master is a scholar and has a good brain, but we can't handle it."
"Then let's forget it?" Yang Jiu was unwilling to accept it.
"Of course we can't let it go like this. From tomorrow on, you can't bully other small traders in the small dock. Everyone does their own business. Otherwise, I will go to the Yamen to report you and your cousin's nephew's wife's brother while I'm alive. Father-in-law, if you die, your family will never have peace! You will have no descendants!" Xiao Yu's voice was not loud, but his words were vicious.
Yang Jiu's hands trembled slightly.
Wu was already scared. She whispered: "Just as I said, he sells his buns and we sell ours. If you insist on making trouble, look at how poisonous he talks. We can't do anything to him, otherwise What should we do with the son we finally gave birth to?"
"Didn't you say you made less money?" Yang Jiu shouted at Wu.
"Then can't you shout more?"
"Didn't I yell? It's not because your buns are not delicious."
"Yang Jiu, don't speak out of conscience. Didn't you make the buns?"
"I did it, but I didn't complain about the taste."
"..."
The couple quarreled on the spot.
Yang Jiu angrily waved his hands and left.
Mrs. Wu cried and ran after her.
"They're leaving!" Minghe said happily.
Is this what is called death?
Without any effort, Yang Jiu and his wife were persuaded to leave.
Zhang Wu finally knew why shopkeeper Yao was willing to pay Xiao Yu wages.
It is true that Xiao Yu has a good brain and a sharp tongue.
His eyes turned from Yang Jiu and his wife to Xiao Yu. He had always known that Xiao Yu was very good-looking, but today he felt that Xiao Yu was particularly good-looking. He was wearing ordinary clothes, but he had delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. He was the first person he had ever seen. The prettiest and most beautiful person, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Zhang Wu." Xiao Yu shouted.
When Zhang Wu came back to his senses, he met Xiao Yu's gentle gaze and his heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to look at Xiao Yu and quickly looked away, feeling his face getting hot.
"Thank you for coming to help." Xiao Yu said.
"I didn't do anything." Zhang Wudao.
"You're just here to help."
Zhang Wu thought of Yang Jiu and his wife looking for trouble, and his chaotic mind calmed down. He quickly raised his eyes and asked, "What on earth happened?"
Xiao Yu explained the matter again.
“If you can’t sell the buns you make, why should you blame others?”
"yes."
"Then will they stumble you in the future?"
"No, they are not treacherous or evil people, nor do they have such deep intentions. They know that I am not easy to mess with, and they also know the consequences of messing with me. At most, they are not convinced by me, but they will not take any action." In real life, after all these small frictions are rubbed, everyone will get over it.
"That's good. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me. I have a few friends who are very good at fighting." Zhang Wudao.
"Okay." Xiao Yu smiled and asked, "By the way, why are you here?"
"Oh, just now a villager passed by Wangyue Restaurant and told me that my mother was not feeling well, so I asked the shopkeeper for leave and went back to take a look."
"Where does it hurt?"
"It's an old problem."
"Then you go back quickly."
"Okay." Zhang Wu agreed, looked at Xiao Yu deeply, then looked at Minghe, and then said: "You two have gained a little weight, especially Minghe, who is much fatter than last time."
"I eat a lot every day! Eat like a pig!" Ming He said.
How can anyone say that they look like a pig?
Xiao Yu smiled softly.
This smile was so beautiful that Zhang Wu didn't dare to look at it anymore. He didn't even have time to ask Xiao Yuminghe why he was selling steamed buns, so he said goodbye and hurried away.
Xiao Yu looked at Minghe: "Minghe."
"Uncle." Minghe held Bailuobo with one hand and Xiao Yu's leg with the other.
"Are you afraid?" Xiao Yu lowered his head and asked.
"I'm a little scared." Minghe raised his face and said.
"Then why do you rush up and hit someone?"
"Because I want to protect my little uncle."
"My uncle is very happy. We Minghe have done really well. However, my uncle is also a very powerful person, so let's not be afraid, okay?" Xiao Yu's voice was extremely gentle.
"Well, uncle, you are a super powerful person, like the sun."
"Is the sun powerful?"
"Yeah, it pricked my eyes."
"I see."
"But don't prick my eyes."
"why?"
"Because I am the closest person to my uncle."
Xiao Yu was worried that Ming He had a psychological shadow, so he kept talking to Ming He along the way, making Ming He laugh, and then returned home together. The two rested for a while. It was almost noon, and he asked: "Ming He, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I'll eat whatever uncle eats." Ming He tilted his little head and said.
There were no other negative emotions at all, and Xiao Yu was relieved and said: "Then let me make shredded radish cakes, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I'll light the fire."
"You go and pluck the onions."
"good."
"Pull out more."
"Um."
Minghe rolled up his sleeves and began to peel the white radish. He originally thought he would cut the radish into shreds by hand, but he didn't expect that this impoverished family actually had a grater, which could save him a lot of effort and time.
After he dug out enough radish shreds, Minghe hadn't come back yet, so he called out to the small yard: "Minghe."
No answer.
"Minghe."
Still no answer.
Minghe always responded when asked. Xiao Yu was anxious, so he quickly put down the plate in his hand and strode towards the small yard. From a distance, he saw Minghe lying motionless in the vegetable field with his little butt stuck out.
