Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Lan Qiyan took out three taels of silver and said, "Everyone, we are all from the same gang..."

"Stop, what did you say? Who is in the same gang as you? Which gang are you from?" the leading fat officer shouted anxiously with a red face.

Lan Qiyan was calm and composed. "Brother Zhu, the mountains remain unchanged, the rivers flow forever, I am your father... Bah, bah, bah, I am the niece of the niece of the daughter of your father's second great aunt."

"So you are my cousin?"

"Haha, Brother Zhu, you are so smart. I like to deal with smart people."

The fat officer stroked his mustache, still a little unsure, "Then why haven't I heard of you?"

"Oh, that's not important. What's important is that I hear every day that I have a cousin who works in the government. He's handsome, talented, and awe-inspiring. People envy him to death."

"Stop, don't talk like that. I'm so scared. Since you are my cousin, how did you offend my brother's lover?"

"You are talking about my sister-in-law Yu Miaomiao, because yesterday she came to my house with her husband and four sons to borrow money.

I didn't lend it to her, so she held a grudge against me and wanted to teach me a lesson and make me bow my head."

The fat officer laughed, "You really know how to offend people."

Lan Qiyan waved his hand, "Oh, that's not important. Whether she gave you money or not, based on her deduction, it's probably only three taels at most..."

"You guessed it right. That woman was so stingy that I only gave her three taels of silver."

"Alas, cousin, you may not know that two years ago, her younger brother was a peddler walking around the streets. He disappeared near the Spring Festival and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.

Leaving behind six young children and a sick old mother, she gave ten cents in alms to the children in response to their earnest pleas.

I'm not complaining, cousin, you guys took the trouble to make this trip, how about I pay double?"

The other three people's eyes lit up, and they said in unison, "Brother, hurry up and agree to it, otherwise we will have to prepare things before we can go to jail."

The fat officer paced back and forth, "Do you have silver?"

"Cousin, do you agree?"

"But we promised her to detain you."

"Cousin, we are relatives."

"Cousin, who can go against silver?"

"Haha, cousin is indeed very smart, but I have a special skill, which is catching snakes. If you agree, I will give you money. If you don't agree, I will send you to hell."

"Are you threatening me?"

Lan Qiyan whistled and reached into the grass beside her. A poisonous snake was spitting out its tongue in her hand.

The other three immediately hid behind Zhu Guanchai, "Boss, you should agree to her request. This is a viper, extremely poisonous."

The fat officer drew his knife and pointed it at Lan Qiyan, "Cousin, are you sure you want to fight us head-on?"

"It doesn't matter. If you were bitten to death by a poisonous snake, it was the snake that killed you. What does it have to do with me?"

"Aren't you afraid of really going to jail?"

"It's a good opportunity to lose weight. Can I stay in there for ten days or half a month? I can leave after I lose weight and become hungry."

"Don't even think about it!"

"Then you guys can kill me. I will complain to the King of Hell and have you four skinned and fry in oil."

"Don't try to fool me!" Yu Miaomiao had the real money in her hand. This so-called cousin was so smooth-talking that she couldn't be trusted.

"There's nothing we can do. The little snake will have to use its mouth to tire itself out." Lan Qiyan flicked the snake and it crawled towards the people.

"Ahhhh... Boss, your last name is Zhu, are you really a pig? You can earn twice as much money, why don't you agree?"

"Boss, hurry up, it's biting me."

"Boss, hurry up."

Lan Qiyan jumped around, "Come on, bite! Come on, bite!"

"You lunatic, I'm going to kill you."

"Then you will also be bitten to death by the poisonous snake, dead pig. Let us go to hell together."

"Bah, who wants to keep company with a lunatic like you? Deal, I'll make a deal."

"You guys are really funny if you don't accept my toast." Lan Qiyan picked up the snake's tail and threw it again.

I bought it for 600 wen and sold it for 60 wen, I lost a lot.

Lan Qiyan gave them six taels, and they let Lan Qiyan return the same way he came.

The two sides went in opposite directions. After walking for about a cup of tea, the fat official took out 9 taels of silver. He kept 6 taels for himself and gave one tael to each of the three people.

"Boss, you only give me one ounce? It's such a long way round, you only give me one ounce?"

“Pockmarked boy, you’re only worth one or two ounces. I’ve already treated you better by bringing you in.

Without me, would you three have gotten this lucrative position?

My sister is the thirteenth concubine of the county magistrate. If you are not satisfied, then get out."

"You can't keep doing this. My mother is waiting for me to bring money home to buy medicine."

"Your mother? Your mother, that sickly woman, should have died a long time ago. I've already told you to let your sister be my concubine, and I'll make sure she has everything she wants."

"Don't even think about it. My sister is only so old. Are you a beast?"

"How old? He's already ten years old, that's enough, haha!"

"You..." He looked at the other two people, both of whom lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Haha, let's go, I'm so tired, let's go home and sleep."

Lan Qiyan looked at Ma Zi with anger in his eyes. She bought the snake back because she just couldn't get along with money.

She gently put it down, and the snake crawled over with a rustling sound. Ma Zi, who was walking at the end, turned around and saw the snake. He wanted to shout, but his head was full of the scene of the dead pig bullying him.

He could tolerate being bullied, but he could not tolerate this pig actually setting its sights on his sister.

Lan Qiyan staggered and counted, "Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

“Ah… numb… ah…”

"Help, help, Ma Zi, why did you hide the snake? Do you know it will kill us?

Hurry up and help me suck out the snake venom, otherwise I won’t let you go when we return to the county government office.”

"Die, let's all die, let's die together, you dead pig, do you think I will let you return to the county government safely?"

"Mazi, Mazi, calm down. I'll give you my silver. Please save us quickly. I'm having trouble breathing."

"Mazi, good brother, save me."

"Haha, saving you, why should I save you, let's die together." Ma Zi's veins bulged and his eyes were red.

The three of them broke out in cold sweats, Ma Zi was serious about this.

"Ma Zi, save me. I will ask my sister to pay for your mother's treatment. I won't have any ideas about your sister. I promise."

"Pockmarked boy, just trust the boss."

"Brother, Ma Zi, please save us."

They cried and begged Ma Zi for help. Ma Zi numbly threw away the snake, walked up to them and took out the silver they had.

Then the three were left to die.

He would wait until the three were completely dead, then go home, give all the silver to his sister, and then commit suicide to apologize.

About half an hour later, Ma Zi stood up, walked to the three men, squatted down and sniffed their breath one by one. They must be dead.

Lan Qiyan sat on a big tree and watched Ma Zi destroy the body, and then watched him go back alone.

"Have you seen enough?" A low voice hit Lan Qiyan's eardrums.

Lan Qiyan was startled. A 140cm tall fat man flew down from the tree!
