To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Just as the two were about to start arguing, the gate of the courtyard made a loud bang.

It turned out that the person outside didn't leave, but was looking for something to hit the door, trying to break it open. "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

Hitting and urging at the same time.

Sun Mei showed panic, "Don't open the door!" she warned fiercely and ran back into the house.

Mrs. Lu covered her chest, listening to the sound of the impact, full of fear, and asked nervously.

"Daughter-in-law, have you gotten into trouble?"

"Let's go back to the house." Jiusu looked at the crumbling gate and saw that Sun Mei had already hidden. She helped Lu up and walked into the house, "Don't worry about her."

Mrs. Lu worriedly asked, "Bao'er is still in the room, will he be in danger?"

Just as Jiusu was about to speak, the gate was pushed open.

The person in the lead was Shopkeeper Qi, whom she recognized. Jiusu immediately understood that Sun Mei and Shopkeeper Qi were having an affair. No wonder he had always wanted to poach her.

Lu tilted her neck, grabbed Jiusu's hand, and asked, "Who's here?"

"I don't know him." Jiusu's eyes flashed as he looked at the approaching people and blocked Lu behind him. This group of people came with great momentum and it was obvious that they were here to cause trouble.

Shopkeeper Qi smiled, but his eyes became more and more vicious.

"Excuse me, is this Sun Mei's house?"

"Oh, she's in that room." Jiusu pointed towards the east room without hesitation.

Shopkeeper Qi was stunned for a moment. He walked a few steps to the east, turned around and asked, "Little girl, why don't you ask me what I want to see Sun Mei about? Aren't you worried?"

Jiusu smiled politely: "This is a private matter between you and Sun Mei, I don't want to know. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. I haven't done anything wrong, so there's nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Qi couldn't help but look at Jiusu with new eyes. Is this the female chef who cooks in Fangxinglou? Seeing her today, her credibility has increased a little.

He said meaningfully: "You are right, I will go find Sun Mei."

The servant shouted loudly: "Sun Mei! Come out!"

In the room, Sun Mei gritted her teeth and cursed softly when she heard Jiusu confess her crime: "This little bitch has been hurting me everywhere. Chen Wu, they are here to find me. What should I do?"

Chen Wu waved his hands and turned over.

"This is your business, what does it have to do with me?"

"Chen Wu!" Sun Mei's anxious face was covered with sweat. Seeing that they were about to come in, she grabbed the man's arm and trembled with fear. "Please save me. I signed the contract with Manager Qi for the sake of this family and so that you can have money to spend. As long as you tell Jiusu to let her go to Zhenxinglou to cook, we will have three hundred taels!"

Chen Wu sat up and asked doubtfully, "Three hundred taels?"

Sun Mei nodded and took the contract signed with Shopkeeper Qi. She had not told the truth before and did not dare to look him in the face. "With these three hundred taels, I can buy you an official position. By then, we will have many servants."

Chen Wu stroked his chin. What he was thinking about was not a large number of slaves, but a large number of wives and concubines.

Coming back to his senses, he said unhappily.

"You bitch, why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you want to run away with the money?"

He kicked Sun Mei to the ground, walked out, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully: "Oh, it turns out to be Shopkeeper Qi. Your arrival is really... a... a mess."

Shopkeeper Qi: "…That is a great honor for our humble home!"

"Yes, yes, it is a great honor for my humble home." Chen Wu blushed, "Please come in."

Shopkeeper Qi sneered, glanced inside the room, and stood at the door with disdain. He looked at the woman who was cowering behind him and ordered the servants to tie her up. "No one in Su Ming County dares to lie to me. Three days have passed. I ask you, where is the recipe? Where is your sister?"

Sun Mei was thrown to the ground, and then she saw her son being picked up by Manager Qi. Her son was crying loudly, and she shouted.

"Jiusu! Jiusu! Come out quickly, mother, please let Jiusu come out, Baoer is dying."

Sure enough, Lu's heart was immediately lifted.

"Baoer..." Her grandson was her life. She followed the voice and groped over. Inside the house, the servants also came to ask for Jiusu's help.

Sun Meifei rushed to her side, crying breathlessly.

"Jiusu, I beg you, please save your nephew, he is the root of the Chen family!"

"Huh? Someone wants to kill Chen Baoer? I'll report it to the police." Jiusu pretended to be shocked. Before she turned around, she was stopped by the servant. She raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

Shopkeeper Qi twisted his fingers lightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said politely.

"Your sister-in-law broke the contract and owed us one thousand taels of silver. We are here to ask for the silver. If you don't pay it back, don't blame us for being rude."

"We're not familiar with each other, so you're welcome." Jiusu raised her chin slightly, looking calm and not frightened at all. Then, she asked in confusion, "Besides, Sun Mei owes money, you explain to me...?"

Shopkeeper Qi laughed dryly.

What's going on? No matter what I say, he won't buy it. "Aren't you and your sister-in-law a family?"

"No, she always enslaves me. My brother owes money, and they want to sell me. I'm happy that you come to collect the debt. By the way, does the contract state what will happen if I breach the contract? For example, breaking arms and legs, or even better, losing my life."

Jiusu stretched out his hand and described vividly the misery at that time, and his eyes sparkled when he talked about the punishment.

Shopkeeper Qi glared at Sun Mei fiercely and asked, "Didn't you say that you had a good relationship with Jiusu? Are you lying to me? Come on, break her legs!"

The servant raised his stick.

Mrs. Lu held Chen Baoer, who was crying, and did not dare to go forward.

Sun Mei didn't want to become a cripple, so she struggled to break free, hugged Jiusu's legs, and begged, "Sister! Save me, I will be your slave in the future!"

"No." Jiusu pried her hands apart and stepped back a few steps. "Manager Qi, quickly have your men break her legs. Don't worry, I will wait until you're done before reporting to the police, and I will definitely not make it public."

Shopkeeper Qi: “…”

Sun Mei collapsed and sat on the ground. It was useless to ask anyone for help. She cursed in a sharp voice: "Little bitch, you are so cruel. No wonder your own mother doesn't want you. Since you married me, I have made you work and I have made you eat!"

Let her scold.

Jiusu kept smiling. Mother? Yes, the original owner's family had a good life, but when her mother was pregnant with the original owner, she was carrying twins, but the boy died, so her mother always hated the original owner. When she heard someone was proposing to marry her, she agreed to marry her without asking whether she was good or bad.

Since they got married, the two have had no contact with each other.

"Sister-in-law, please save your energy. Your limbs are broken, and it hurts."

Call——

A carriage stopped outside the door. Qian Junjie jumped off first and saw the woman he was looking for. "Is this your home? Where's your man?"

The county magistrate followed behind him, with a number of officers and soldiers.

Jiusu frowned slightly. Why is he here? It is probably the county magistrate that Qi has called. Once the matter involves the officers and soldiers, it will be difficult to handle. The higher the rank, the more powerful the magistrate.

Sun Mei saw that he was a rich family kid and tried to please him.

"Her husband was captured and forced to serve as a soldier."
