Wang Wu looked puzzled: "I was kind to you when you were a child?"
Liu Qingyun nodded quickly: "Yes, Uncle Wang. One winter, my brother and I were locked out by my father and almost froze to death. It was you who brought us two siblings to your house. If not for this, we I’m afraid he would have froze to death.”
After Wang Wu heard this, he frowned and thought for a long time, as if that was indeed the case.
So, is this girl really grateful to herself?
He couldn't help but give up his doubts.
Liu Qingyun quickly asked: "Uncle Wang, do you want that maid? She is very beautiful. If you don't want her, my aunt will sell her to someone else."
"Why not!" Wang Wu grabbed Liu Qingyun's arm, climbed up his fingers to her chest and pressed it quietly. "You girl is still kind-hearted. You still remember your uncle's kindness after all these years."
Liu Qingyun hurriedly opened his hand and stammered: "Okay, I'll tell you what to do..."
The two of them talked in the room for a long time. It was getting dark before Liu Qingyun came out.
Liu Yi and Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Liu Qingyun was safe and sound.
After a few people left, Wang Wu took out the ten taels of silver given by Liu Qingyun just now, threw them in his hand, and showed a sinister smile.
Ten taels of silver, for poor people like them, that was a lot of money.
No matter what Liu Qingyun wants to do, he is happy to help.
Not only do you get money, but you also get a wife for free, so why not do it?
I just don’t know if the maid Liu Qingyun mentioned is really more beautiful than Liu Qingyun?
If he couldn't get the maid, he would settle for the next best thing.
Liu Qingyun's father would definitely not care about the lives of these two siblings.
^^^^^^^^
Liu Qingyun and others rested in the village for one night and went back early the next morning.
As soon as they left, Liu Yi hurriedly took the twenty taels of silver given by his sister and looked around for a hiding place.
However, the family was too poor to even find a jar for pickles. Liu Yi turned around several times and finally decided to hide the money in the dust under the stove.
Considering that his dad never cooked, he felt like this was a safe place.
After hiding the money, he came to the table again, ready to move the pile of food and hide some.
Unexpectedly, just as he picked up a pack of halva in his hand, there was a loud bang on the small broken door.
Liu Yi instinctively trembled all over, and the halva in his hand fell to the ground, becoming sticky and covered with dust.
He didn't have time to feel distressed, and looked at the drunk who kicked in the door with a horrified look.
Father Liu staggered in with a broken wine flask in his hand.
"Dad...you are back..."
Liu Yi instinctively held his chest and backed away.
As soon as Father Liu lowered his head and saw the things on the ground, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Where did these come from?"
Liu Yi swallowed his saliva and stammered in reply: "Yes...my sister bought it..."
"Your sister? Where is she?" Father Liu looked around and found no one.
"You...if you weren't at home, she would go back...to Weicheng..."
"She just bought these things?"
Father Liu put the wine bottle under his left arm and knelt down unsteadily to look at the things on the ground.
He rummaged through the pile of food for a long time, and a look of dissatisfaction gradually appeared on his face: "How much are these foods worth?"
Liu Yi was afraid to answer.
Father Liu noticed the two sets of clothes, and a smile appeared on his face for a moment. He picked up the clothes and shook them out. While shaking them, he said: "The two sets of clothes are still useful-"
Before he finished speaking, Liu's father noticed the size of the clothes, which was clearly not for him.
"Damn it!" He threw the two pieces of clothes to the ground hard, and when he looked up again, there was already a ball of fire in his eyes: "I will only buy it for you, not for her, right?"
"Dad, dad..." When Liu Yi saw the anger in Father Liu's eyes, his legs trembled immediately, and his body kept leaning back, "Dad, you can take these clothes and wear them, I... I don't want them anymore, I... "
"Mom, can I wear it?" Father Liu kicked the pile of food away, and two pieces of the sticky halva were stuck on his worn shoes.
"Is this food bought for you too?"
Father Liu was furious: "I raised her as a loser for so long for nothing. She went to the city to enjoy the blessings, and when she came back she didn't even bring me a pot of wine!"
"Dad, Dad... don't step on... you stepped on the rice cake..." Liu Yi looked at the white rice cake on the ground, hurriedly crawled over to pick it up, and blew the dust off with his mouth. Then put it in front of the abdomen and cover it with the corner of your clothes.
"You fucking turned into a dog just for a few pieces of rice cake!" Liu's father reached out and grabbed Liu Yi's dry yellow hair and lifted him up from the ground.
Liu Yi let out a painful scream and quickly reached out to touch his hair. The rice cakes in his pocket rolled to the ground again.
"Dad, I don't dare anymore, I won't pick it up!" Liu Yi's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and a look of pleading appeared on his face.
"You said you didn't dare anymore, but you still picked it up and ate it after I let you go. Today I have to break off your hand!"
Liu's father said, took Liu Yi's arm and pushed it back hard.
"Dad! Let me go, I'm hungry and I can't help but want to eat...ah!..."
The sound of dislocated bones exploded in Liu Yi's ears, and the severe pain made him scream uncontrollably.
Father Liu didn't intend to let him go. He let go of his hair and arms and threw him to the ground. He kicked him hard in the stomach and cursed: "Two white-eyed wolves, I have raised you for so many years. You're not even willing to buy me a bottle of wine! You loser!..."
Amidst the crazy curses, punches, kicks, and screams and pleas, Liu Yi curled up into a ball with all his strength, praying that this moment would pass quickly.
Finally, Liu's father finished venting his drunken madness, panted and walked to the bed, fell down and lay down on it.
Liu Yi climbed up tremblingly, but found that he couldn't lift his entire right hand.
He glanced at the demon on the bed in horror, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was already snoring.
Looking down at the white rice cakes and sticky halva that had been trampled to pieces by his feet, Liu Yi hurriedly crawled over with his left hand on his body. He didn't care that the cakes were covered with dirt and dust. He just grabbed them and ate them with big mouthfuls. Gag in mouth.
Rather than being beaten and hungry, at least now I can fill my stomach.
Even if these delicious snacks were thrown into the swill bucket and taken out again, he would still be willing to devour them...
Song family.
Just after Liu Qingyun returned, Lu Ling met Uncle Liu quietly.
Uncle Liu told Lu Ling about the situation at Liu Qingyun's home and about her secret meeting with Wang Wu.
Lu Ling thought for a while and sent someone to secretly monitor Wang Wu.
Not long after she walked in, Mr. Song came back from the government office, his face full of exhaustion.
Lu Ling hurriedly asked her servants to prepare some nourishing medicinal food, and she carried it to serve Master Song.
Mr. Song didn't need Lu Ling to wait on him, so Lu Ling stood aside and waited for him to finish.
Master Song asked while eating: "How are you? I haven't been at home these days. Did that beast and your mother-in-law bully you?"
Lu Ling smiled lightly and said, "After the lesson learned last time, they don't dare anymore."
Master Song was relieved.
Lu Ling couldn't help but ask: "Father, you haven't even come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you busy with so many things in the government office? You must pay attention to your health."
Mr. Song sighed and said with a tired look on his face: "I have no choice. I was preparing the list of candidates for the princess in the past two days."
