"Let's go eat first, and then find a house to settle down in the county town."

"Mom, when we settle down in the county, will Dad send someone to do this?"

Lihua's son made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Lihua's mouth twitched, "Don't worry, he has the heart but not the courage. It's not so easy to take off the official hat that he has finally put on. This is the benefit of power. If it were you, son, you wouldn't take it off. If you don't want to be an official, would you become a peasant?"

"Mom, you are really smart. Mom, take me to eat quickly."

"Let's go, let's go eat steamed buns, they're fine grains, don't be picky."

"Master, send someone to keep a close eye on the mother and son. Keep a close eye on them."

"Sir, if something happens, do you need to take care of them or protect them?"

"I asked you to keep an eye on them, not to take care of them. If anything happens to them, it's their fate. You don't have to worry about it. Just don't lose them. I must find that man. I won't be willing to give up if I can't find him. I have raised my son for someone else for so many years."

"I don't believe that if I chased them out, that wild man would not come to look for them. Even if he doesn't look for Lihua, what about the son? He'll have to look for the son at least."

"Master, you'd better be cautious. This is a critical moment for you. There's no need to make such a fuss over a woman. There's still a bright future ahead of you."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. I won't do anything stupid. I'm just angry. I've been raising someone else's son for so many years, and I'm not willing to accept that. How can I swallow this? I'm not willing to accept it."

"Sir, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to swallow this anger. Even if you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it and think about the future. There is a bright future in the future, sir. You must stay calm, our good days are ahead."

"Mom, are we going to stay at a restaurant? I want to eat roast duck, delicious roast duck."

Lihua looked at her son and said, "You want to eat roast duck. I think you are just daydreaming. You also want to eat roast duck. With our current conditions, it's good enough for us to eat fine grain steamed buns. You also want roast duck. I think you look like a roast duck."

"We won't be able to eat roast duck or anything like that anymore. We have to save money."

"Mom, didn't you say you had the money? If you had the money, why should we be so frugal? Don't you think so?"

Lihua gave her son a violent gift.

"What are you thinking about? If you don't have money, are you going to earn it? Are you going to be a waiter, a minor official, or a big baggage carrier?"

"If you're willing to carry the heavy bags, we can eat a little better."

"Son, carrying a big bag only earns 2 cents a day." "I know, Mom, I don't want to eat roast duck anymore."

"We'll rent a cheap house later."

"Son, we'll go find your real father once we get settled."

"Mom, why should we go look for him? What if he doesn't have money? We still have to make money to support him. I don't want to do that. Besides, we haven't been in contact for so many years. I don't think it's necessary."

"You silly boy, we are in this situation now. If we don't go find him, how long will our little money last?"

"When there's no money left, we can ask him to go out and make some money, don't you think?"

"Mom, you are so smart."

“I’m not smart, so I’m asking you to carry the heavy bag.

"Master, you have nothing to do every day, why don't you go out and find a job? There is no rice to cook at home. If you don't go out and find a job, how will we eat?"

Luo Xie said unhappily: "Why don't you go out and find a job? I think you are quite capable, don't you?"

Xi Zucchini was very angry: "I'm looking for work, what are you doing? Have you done the housework at home? There are no maids or servants in the house now. I did all these by myself. If it weren't for me, this family would have fallen apart. How dare you say that?"

"I'm telling you, why don't you get out of here quickly? Our family is so poor that we'll only have water to drink tomorrow."

Luo Xie was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

Who told you to bow your head when you live under someone's roof?

Besides, we have to go out in this situation. We have nothing to eat at home. If we sell this house, we will have nowhere to live. It is better not to sell it. At least we have a place to live. The weather is so cold now. Those old houses are not good. If they are not good, people will die easily.

Luo Xie disguised himself as a beggar and went out.

I searched for several days but couldn't find a suitable partner.

I had no choice but to find a guy who could carry heavy bags.

A week later, Luo Xie handed over 15 copper coins to Zucchini every day.

"Master, this is all you get for carrying heavy bags every day. It's not enough to spend. 15 copper coins are not enough."

"It's not enough, but there's nothing we can do. It's hard to find work now. Even this job of carrying heavy bags was begged for by me. I'll do it first and switch to another job when I find a suitable one. Then we can earn more money."

"Okay, that's the only way."

"Master, I was walking on the street today and heard people talking about backyard things. They said there was an official in the county whose concubine gave birth to a son who was not his, and he had raised the son for more than ten years. Now he has kicked both the mother and the son out."

When Luo Xie heard this, he thought it was very similar to Lihua, but Lihua shouldn't have been that miserable.

"If you ask me, that official is too soft-hearted. If it were me, the woman would be thrown into a pig cage or sold to a brothel. Doesn't she like to give birth to other people's children? Let her give birth to as many as she wants."

"As for my son, I'll either exile him or sell him to a brothel to run as a restaurant. He's not my child anyway."

"You are such a cruel woman. You even sold her to a brothel and turned her into a brothel. Her life is ruined. Those places are not for children from decent families."

"That's because you are not that official master, otherwise, you might be even more cruel to me."

"I wouldn't say such sarcastic words like I do now."

After saying this, Xizu looked at Luo Xie.

It's like he can talk without any pain in his waist, otherwise how could he talk so easily.

When Luo Xie first listened to it, he thought it was nothing, but as he listened more he felt something was wrong.

Could that woman be Lihua and his son? Did something happen to them?

Then I have to go to the capital to find them, otherwise how are they going to get through?

I just couldn't stand carrying the heavy bags for two days. I wanted to see if Lihua in the county town had any money. If she had, it would be even better. I wouldn't have to suffer so much.

Oh, I never knew I would end up like this. If only those banknotes were still there, I wouldn't have to worry for the rest of my life.

"Xi Zucchini, there is no work in the capital. I plan to go to the county tomorrow. I happen to have a cousin there. I'll go and borrow some money to help out in an emergency."
