Chapter 21 Strong Borrowing
Putting on new clothes, Zheng Fengshou's activity index soared. He followed behind Ye Anlan, calling "big sister" one after another, expressing his excitement endlessly.
Ye Anlan was both helpless and funny, she stared at Zheng Fengshou, "Why do you call me big sister? Aren't you older than me?"
Zheng Fengshou looked innocent, "But I want to be your younger brother! You are the most powerful person I have ever seen, and I will definitely not go hungry again after following you."
Ye Anlan: ￣□￣｜｜So, she was forced to bind her as a long-term meal ticket?
"Which eye of yours sees me so well?" She seems, should, probably. Didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right?
"Both eyes have seen it." Zheng Fengshou replied with a serious face, but it sounded like he was deliberately raising an argument.
Ye Anlan was speechless. After a moment of silence, she resigned herself to changing the phrase, "What did I do that made you think I was amazing?"
"You can make uncle and aunt listen to you, isn't that powerful enough?"
Ye Anlan, who is used to being the master of the family: I made a mistake, I forgot that the parents of this dynasty are the "heads of the family" who have the right to speak.
But having said that, this silly boy doesn't seem to be as heartless as she thought.
"Didn't you say you want to stay in the county to find a job?" There were other plans in her mind. When Ye Anlan looked at Zheng Fengshou again, she thought more about how to observe him and test him. It doesn't make any sense, does it?"
Zheng Fengshou stood where he was, and thought carefully about Ye Anlan's question, "How about I follow you home? I don't eat rice. I am very strong and can do any job."
Ye Jinkui and Li Shi subconsciously wanted to reject it. They had no relationship with Zheng Fengshou and had no reason to give him money or food. If they brought such a young man home, the villagers would probably gossip a lot.
Ye Anlan didn't have such worries, she folded her arms, "Then do you want to practice martial arts?"
Zheng Fengshou's eyes widened, "Martial arts? Can I practice martial arts?"
Ye Anlan was taken aback by his sudden outburst of enthusiasm, and she took a small step back—it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
She said to Zheng Fengshou: "If you follow me, I can give you food and clothing as you wish, but correspondingly, you must also listen to me and remain absolutely loyal to me. Can you do it?"
Zheng Fengshou scratched his head, "Loyalty, loyalty? What is that?"
Ye Anlan: ￣□￣｜｜
Ye Anlan spent a little time explaining to Zheng Fengshou what is "loyalty" and what is "betrayal". After she finished explaining, Zheng Fengshou patted his chest and assured Ye Anlan, "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely listen to you." If so, I will be faithful to you."
The rest of the Ye family looked at these two people stupidly. They couldn't react a bit, and they didn't know how things had developed to this point.
Aren't they shopping? Why haven't they bought anything yet, but their family has an extra person first?
Ye Anlan took the hands of the two younger sisters and explained to everyone, "Our family is short of people, and the harvest happens to have nowhere to go. It is a good thing for us and him that he goes to our house."
What she didn't say was that she found that Zheng Fengshou had a good foundation and was very suitable for martial arts training. In addition, this child is stupid and not fancy, so no matter from the perspective of talent or heart, this child is very suitable for training as a right-hand man. seedling.
Of course, Ye Anlan has not yet made a decision on how much he should be trained.
After all, the human heart is a complex and extremely fickle thing. Although she has spent decades of time, she dare not say that she has honed a pair of eyes that are good at knowing people in her past life.
So for the sake of prudence, she will not decide at the beginning how much trust she will give to a certain person. She prefers to constantly understand, make choices, and make decisions during the process of getting along with the other person.
***
After staying in the county for nearly two days, it was confirmed that Zheng Fengshou's health was fine, and Li Shi and the others only needed to take medicine step by step for recuperation. Ye Anlan and the others then brought a cartload of grain, half a cartload of miscellaneous goods, and leftovers. The more than one hundred taels of silver that I paid went back to the village as a burden.
In the past two days, almost everyone in the village is looking forward to the quick return of the Ye family. The robbery by the refugees before caused heavy losses to many people in the village. Now that the Ye family has made a fortune, the villagers naturally turned to the idea of borrowing money. Ye Jinkui's head.
They were looking forward to it every day and every night, for fear that the Ye family would be extravagant and spend all the two hundred taels of silver they had stolen if they stayed in the county for a long time.
Yes, in their view, the two hundred taels of silver were stolen from the Liu family by the Ye family. They were jealous and said sour words, but at the same time they wanted to share a piece of the action with confidence.
No, just as Ye Anlan expected, less than a quarter of an hour after their family came back, the gate of their house was blocked by a group of villagers.
Erzhu and Huzi, who helped them look after their house, couldn't leave, and Ye Jinkui, who wanted to return the car, couldn't get out. The three big men were blocked in the yard by a group of old and young.
This one said to borrow three taels or five taels from the Ye family, the other said to ask the Ye family to borrow eight taels or ten taels, and a few people even opened their mouths, clamoring to ask the Ye family to borrow thirty taels or fifty taels .
Ye Anlan didn't speak, just stood in the yard with her arms folded, looking coldly at the group of villagers who stopped her father.
Her father was talking loudly about the reason he and Mrs. Li had discussed on the way that they could not borrow money, "My third girl's burns can be cured, and our money will be saved for her to see the doctor. The doctor said, she The wound needs a very expensive medicine, and my family has no money left to borrow."
Ye Jinkui said this several times back and forth, but none of the villagers surrounding him would leave.
They either pretended not to hear what Ye Jinkui said, and just talked about their family's difficulty, or simply said that Ye Wei's injury "No one has been able to cure it for so many years, and now they suddenly say that it can be cured, the doctor is not lying to you." of it."
Ye Jinkui was entangled by them one head and two big, and his saliva was dry, and no one planned to show some consideration for him.
Ye Anlan, who had had enough of watching the excitement, threw a stone in his hand with incomparable precision at the moment when everyone's emotions gradually became angry, and someone even pushed and shoved Ye Jinkui.
Shi Zi'er flew past Ye Jinkui's arm, and hit the villager who took advantage of the chaos to attack Ye Jinkui. The man clasped his arms and screamed in pain, "Who? Who hit me?"
"Who are you?" Ye Anlan picked up the wooden stick at her feet, and walked to Ye Jinkui step by step, "My Ye family owes you money? Are you here to collect debts? See, you are justified. My father said You don’t have money to lend to you, you don’t understand human language? How dare you attack my father, why, if you don’t borrow money, you plan to rob it? Who gave you the courage to think that you can rob my Ye family? money?"
