The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

The house that Lan Niang and Liu Mei rented was in an alley.

That alley is obviously a slum area with cheap rent.

A few ruffian youths whistled when they saw the carriage.

It was quite strange for them to see a carriage coming to such a place.

When the young men saw the carriage parked in the alley, at the door of the beautiful young lady's house, they whistled even louder.

Someone else shouted across the courtyard, "Young lady, so you have a rich lover. No wonder you look down on us. But if you follow us, we will at least love you. Look, you followed a rich man, but you can only be kept in a shabby place like this."

A clear female voice came from the yard.

"Get lost, even if I have a boyfriend or not, I would never go out with a bunch of lazy guys like you."

The young men laughed even more arrogantly.

Lan Niang in the carriage looked unhappy.

"Those people are bothering Liu Mei again. The middleman only said that the rent here is cheap and it's close to the county. If we had known this, we wouldn't have lived here."

"Let's go down and take a look first."

As soon as Lu Yanyan got off the bus, he heard boos from the young people.

"My dear, it's bad news. The wife of the first house has come in a carriage to settle accounts with you. She is much prettier than you. You might as well follow me, your brother."

Hearing those people booing Lu Yanyan, Han Qingyun frowned and scolded, "Who are you and why are you gathering at someone else's door?"

The young men ignored him and continued, "Oh, he's a pretty boy, so handsome. No wonder that young lady looked down on us."

Han Qingyun was so angry that his forehead twitched.

"Get out of the way, we're looking for someone."

A dark-skinned young man stood up.

"I won't move, what can you do to me? You look like a decent man, your wife is so beautiful, but you still have a child outside, bah."

Han Qingyun who was slandered by pornographic rumors:?

Qin Yuru rolled her eyes speechlessly. What are you, a weak scholar, arguing with a bunch of hooligans?

The young man was about to continue bullying Han Qingyun when he saw two more people getting out of the carriage.

One is the woman with a scar on her face who lives in this yard, and the other is a bright and heroic woman.

When the dark-skinned young man saw Qin Yuru, his eyes lit up.

Although this woman was not as pretty as the previous one and was a few years older, he really liked the energy in her.

"Who is this lady, and why did she come to our Chunlin Lane?"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Qin Yuru and even touched her face with his hand.

Han Qingyun stepped forward and grabbed the man's hand. Although he looked thin, he was actually very strong.

The dark-skinned young man felt that it was really embarrassing to be caught by a pretty boy like Han Qingyun.

He swung his other hand towards Han Qingyun's face.

Han Qingyun turned his head to avoid it, but still did not let go of his hand.

The dark-skinned young man became angry and embarrassed, and the hand that was not caught by Han Qingyun turned to grab Qin Yuru's chest.

"You won't let me touch it, but I'll touch it anyway."

When his hand was about a fist's distance away from Qin Yuru, Qin Yuru grabbed it and bent it downwards.

With a "click", the dark-skinned young man felt a sharp pain in his wrist and screamed in pain.

Han Qingyun looked at the young man's broken wrist and then remembered that Qin Yuru's kung fu was much better than that of his brother-in-law.

Qin Yuru clapped her hands and kicked the dark-skinned young man away again.

"Who else wants to stop us?"

The other young men dispersed. They just came to ask for a few words, not to get a fight.

The dark-skinned young man also got up and ran as fast as he could while shouting, "Wait for me!"

Hearing that the group of young men who often looked for her outside had dispersed, Liu Mei saw Lu Yanyan and others through the crack in the door. She was delighted and quickly opened the bolt.

"Mrs. Han, Mrs. Lu, why are you here?"

Liu Mei turned her head and looked at Lan Niang again. Seeing that Lan Niang's eyes were slightly swollen, she asked worriedly, "Sister Lan Niang, what's wrong with you?"

"Liu Mei, I was deceived by Shopkeeper Wang. Fortunately, I met Madam Han and Madam Lu, so I was safe."

Liu Mei hurriedly thanked Lu Yanyan and the others.

"Thank you, Madam, for your help again."

"Liu Mei, I want to go to Luocheng with Madam Han and the others. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Liu Mei smiled and said to Lu Yanyan and the others, "Thank you, Madams, for taking me in."

After saying that, he went back to the house to pack up without waiting for the two to say anything.

Lan Niang and Liu Mei didn't have much stuff, just a few sets of clothes and some silver, which could be packed in a small bag.

Liu Mei locked the gate without even turning back.

"We pay our rent until the end of the year. If we move out now, the landlord won't give us our money back, and I don't want to see that old pervert anymore. Let's leave the key with the neighbor and then we can go."

She didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Now those lazy guys outside don’t dare to break into her yard.

But after a while, when they found out that they and Lan Niang were just two helpless and weak women without household registration, who knew what would happen.

And there was also the landlord who always came to see her for no reason and always stared at her with lustful eyes, which made Liu Mei very annoyed.

Seeing Liu Mei couldn't wait to leave, Lu Yanyan guessed their situation and nodded.

"Go ahead, we'll wait for you."

On the way back to Luocheng, Lan Niang and Liu Mei asked Lu Yanyan to buy them.

They have no good way out now. Even if the unregistered refugees are taken away by human traffickers, the government will not file a case.

They have been living in fear every day these days.

So even though Lan Niang knew that Manager Wang might not be reliable, she still signed the contract with a fluke mentality.

She originally thought that after two or three years, when she had completed her household registration, she would be able to live in the sunshine with Liu Mei.

After what happened with Shopkeeper Wang, Lan Niang no longer wants to sign a working contract.

Today's shelters are very different from those of previous years. Not only is the workload heavy, but the atmosphere inside is also said to be very bad.

If they signed a working contract, they might not be able to survive more than two years in the asylum even with a certificate of release.

Lu Yanyan and Qin Yuru are not only good people, but also very capable and able to protect them.

Not to mention, these two people saved her twice.

It is better to sign a death contract with them than to live a wandering life outside.

Liu Mei used to be a concubine who could be given away or bought and sold at will.

Later, they were tortured in Pulu Mountain for more than a year. If it weren't for Lan Niang who had been taking care of them and comforting them, she would have died long ago.

Later, they met Mrs. Han and her group, and all the bandits who harmed them were killed.

But what she encountered afterwards was no better than her life as a concubine.

Rather than living that kind of life, it would be better to sell myself to Mrs. Han and the others. They are all good people.

Lu Yanyan understood their thoughts and finally signed a living contract with them. Whenever they wanted to leave or met someone they could trust, he could redeem themselves for one penny.

Qin Yuru actually admired Lan Niang and Liu Mei very much, but she only let them follow Lu Yanyan.

Because of the incident twenty years ago, many loyal servants of the Lu and Qin families died.

Old Master Lu was grateful for these people's protection along the way, and at that time the Lu family had already decided to retreat to Fengxi Town, so he released most of the slaves in the house.

Even though Lu Fugui later regained many of the Lu family's assets, most of them were hired workers or long-term laborers, and the Lu family would not easily buy slaves again.

Before escaping Wuping County, Lu Fugui returned the contracts of his household workers and the few remaining servants, allowing them to escape as soon as possible.

As for Dalin and Erlin, they have long been members of the Lu family and it is impossible for them to leave the Lu family.

However, after arriving in Luocheng, the Lu family's thoughts changed.

Luocheng is full of powerful people. Their teahouses and marinated food businesses will sooner or later be targeted. The death contract is the most secure for both the Lu and Han families.

Qin Yuru was thinking about things in Luocheng. The teahouse was almost renovated. When Erlin came back this time, she didn't even bother to ask about Lu Fugui's situation.

But judging by Lu Fugui's style, the tea is probably on the way.

But Lu Fugui himself might have to wait until the second batch of marinade is sold out before he can come back.

The teahouse should be opening earlier. My father-in-law might be buying more people. The house we bought back then was too small...
