After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Fenghe Tower was bustling in the middle of the night, but the back door was filled with murderous intent.

Li Ergou was thrown out by the thugs of Fenghelou. The madam clasped her hands and looked at Li Ergou with contempt.

"You don't have money and you still want to come to me? Do you think I'm a refugee camp? If you dare to sneak in again, don't blame my men for their reckless behavior."

Li Ergou's old injury hasn't healed yet, and he has a new one.

"Mom Lou, please let me see Xiang Liu. I have something important to discuss with her. Please."

"This isn't a charity. I'll just agree to anything anyone asks me for. So, let's just close down Fenghe Tower.

If you don’t have money, I don’t care if you die by banging your head against the wall.”

Li Ergou didn't expect that Lou Ma, who seemed like a smiling tiger, could be so cruel and merciless when she got angry.

He sold everything that could be sold at home and originally wanted to go to the casino to have a few tries. With a bit of luck, he could redeem Xiangliu.

Unexpectedly, he didn't make any money, but lost all his original money. Damn it, God didn't give him any luck.

"Mom Lou, I'm right here. Why don't you ask Xiangliu to come see me? I really have something important to tell her."

Although Xiangliu can no longer earn much money, she is still a member of Fenghelou, and the madam has the final say in everything about her.

"Someone, close the door!"

The thugs from Fenghelou were about to close the door, but Xiangliu came down by herself.

"Please wait a moment, Lou Ma. I just want to talk to Li Lang about my indenture."

When the indenture was mentioned, the madam's expression eased a little. This was the only money she could earn from Xiangliu.

"Hurry up, I'm waiting to greet guests in the front yard."

Xiang Liu nodded and said to Li Ergou outside the door, "Li Lang, have you raised the money to redeem me?"

Li Ergou held the door frame with one hand and supported his waist which was hurt by the beating with the other.

"Liu'er, listen to me. I originally sold my belongings and wanted to redeem you by luck, but my luck wasn't good, so..."

"Li Ergou, you went gambling again. How could you do that? Don't you really want this child in my belly?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Li Ergou became anxious, but even the madam and other people in Fenghelou looked at Xiangliu in disbelief.

For people in their line of work, getting pregnant is considered bad luck.

"Liu'er, I didn't..."

Li Ergou was so anxious that he was turning around in circles, while the madam ordered people to arrest Xiangliu immediately.

"Well, you actually dared to get pregnant without my knowledge. Someone, go get the matchmaker and take her pulse."

The child belonged to Li Ergou, so Li Ergou was naturally detained by the brothel owner.

Soon, the people from Fenghe Tower invited a thin and frail old woman.

The matchmaker took Xiangliu's pulse and found that her forehead, which was already in the shape of a "川" (river) character, was now even more wrinkled.

"It's been slippery for almost a month, but it can still be cured with medicine."

The matchmaker is the secret agent of Fenghe Tower. She knows some medical skills and is the one who treats any illnesses of the women in Fenghe Tower.

If you can live, live, if you can't live, die.

"No, that's my child, Li Ergou. If you dare to poison my child, I will burn down Fenghe Tower."

In desperation, Li Ergou threatened Fenghelou with harsh words.

But he couldn't scare the madam. She was only thinking about her own interests. She didn't care whose child was in Xiangliu's belly.

"Li Ergou, Xiang Liu belongs to my Fenghe Tower. If you want a child, you can redeem her with eighty taels of silver.

Otherwise, you have no right to manage the internal affairs of our Fenghe Building. I don’t recognize people, I only recognize money.”

Xiangliu also knelt in front of the madam and begged crying.

"Mother Lou, please don't hurt my child. Li Lang will definitely redeem me. Give him a little more time, three days..."

Seeing that the madam didn't react, Xiang Liu immediately changed her tone: "No! Two days! If Li Lang doesn't bring the money within two days, I'm willing to drink the matchmaker's medicine."

The madam was so angry that she threw her sleeves and scolded Li Ergou and Xiang Liu.

"I'll give you two days. After two days, don't blame me for being cruel."

Li Ergou was thrown out, and Xiangliu was locked up in the backyard by the madam.

All the doors of the woodshed were locked. I thought Xiangliu would cry and scream, but she was so quiet that she seemed like a different person.

Xiangliu looked at the full moon outside the window and smiled proudly.

She touched her lower abdomen with one hand and thought: The medicine Lin Ting gave her is really effective.

Now that there is the threat from Lou Ma, Li Ergou should act quickly, and I can leave this place immediately. That’s great!

……

At dawn the next day, Lin Ting got up early and carried Shen Wanyi to sleep next to Shen Qingzhou.

She picked up her purse and went out to buy rice and vegetables.

First, I went to the east end of the street to rent an ox cart, and then went to buy 200 kilograms of refined rice and 50 kilograms of white flour.

The vegetables I bought included a pork leg, green beans, black fungus, white melon, ginger and green onion.

She had ordered all of these from the shop owner last night, so the purchase was quick.

Oil and salt are also essential. Only when they are full can they have the energy to work for their family. Lin Ting just wants to build the house as quickly as possible.

The oxcart driver saw that Lin Ting bought so many things and thought that if he hired his own cart to drive back and forth every day, he would become rich.

"Mrs. Lin, you bought so many dishes. Are you planning a big wedding?"

"About the same. My family is building a house, and I bought these to cook for the workers."

The driver was speechless, pointing to a cart full of rice, flour and pork. Such good things were actually bought back to feed the workers. Isn't this too generous?

"Mrs. Lin, you can just buy some brown rice and lard and cook some porridge for the workers. You'll only end up wasting your money if you do this."

The driver kindly reminded Lin Ting because he saw that Lin Ting had been taking care of his business.

After all, he was the one who picked up Lin Ting when he went to and from the county.

"Uncle Hu, I know everything you said, but I think that if I have the ability, I still hope that the people who work for me can eat well."

Lin Ting thought that what she made was the most basic food, and that just because everyone was poor, they didn't deserve to eat well.

Hu the coachman liked Lin Ting very much, as he was a man of great generosity, unlike some women who were petty and calculative.

"By the way, Master Hu, from now on, you will help me deliver a truckload of vegetables to Wushan Village every morning. I will order the food when the time comes, and you just need to come and pick it up from the boss.

Likewise, I will pay you thirty coins a day, are you willing?"

"Yes, I do. Thank you, Madam Lin."

Driver Hu was very happy about it. Thirty cents was a much more stable salary than sitting in the county waiting to be pulled by others.

Sometimes I didn’t earn a penny a day, and sometimes I only earned a few pennies.

Lin Ting also followed him back in the ox cart. After all, he didn't know who the food in the cart would be given to.

When the two entered Wushan Village, it was already dawn. There were two people standing at the entrance of the village. When the ox cart got closer, they realized that they were Yang Xiuxiu and Aunt Jiang.

"Mother-in-law, Aunt Jiang, you are all here."

Seeing Lin Ting coming with a cart of vegetables, Yang Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief and almost thought that today's breakfast was going to be a waste.
