NOVEL NEXT Chapter 15 Silver Hairpin
Ling Xiaoxiao had just asked the waiter to lead the horses away. When she turned around, she saw Ling Quanzhong's uncle leading four teenagers out of the alley. She quickly went into the restaurant and hid.
In fact, it is not that Ling Xiaoxiao is cruel. He has lived a good life and ignored the people in his clan. He is actually a member of Lingjia Village. These years have gone too far. As the clan leader, Ling Quanzhong is not a good person. He usually does little things but just watch the fun. Ling Quanfa and the Qu family were also favored for big things. This clan leader really neglected his duty. Because of his inaction, the atmosphere in Lingjia Village was really bad. Therefore, during the escape, other villages were not willing to cooperate with Lingjia Village. People form a team to escape famine, but they look down on the behavior of the people in Lingjia Village.
Ling Daniu looked around but there was no sign of the mother and daughter anymore, not even the two horses they were holding. This made Ling Daniu a little annoyed. He finally saw Ling Erya. , judging from their clothes, they must have had a good time during this period. If they can climb up to them, then their family will no longer have to starve and freeze.
"What's going on? Have you found that girl?"
There were footsteps behind him, as well as Ling Quanzhong's panting voice. This run had exhausted him. Firstly, he was older, over sixty years old. Secondly, he had not had anything to eat or drink in the past few months. With just the little porridge and water distributed by the government every day, he was already very weak. Now running such a long distance, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?
Ling Daniu turned his head.
"Dad, no, that girl ran too fast. When we chased her out, the two of them were gone. You know, they were leading two horses. If we rode on the horses, how could we catch up!"
"That's right, grandpa, what should I do? It's such a pity that such a good opportunity is gone."
Ling Quanzhong thought for a while and said, "Since they have entered the city, they must leave the city if they want to go back and forth. You four boys will go to guard the four city gates respectively. Old man, I still don't believe it. They won't leave the city like this."
The four boys were overjoyed when they heard this: Isn't that right! Since that damn girl has entered the city, she will always leave the city, so we will guard her there. If you don't believe it, she will stay in the city and not go out.
Ling Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the second floor of the restaurant, heard the words of the grandfather and grandson clearly, and snorted in her heart: "Then just wait, my aunt will send you to the West at worst."
He turned around and entered the box, no longer paying attention to these people. He looked at Zhou Yunniang who looked worried and comforted her with a smile.
"Mom, don't worry! They can't find us, but mom, from now on, you will wait for me in the inn, and I will go shopping. Then we will go back together. But if you want to go back, you can only wait until tomorrow. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy everything in one day today.”
Zhou Yunniang nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "Erya, do you want to give your great grandfather and the others some money? No matter how you say it, they belong to the same family. From now on..."
Before Zhou Yunniang could finish her words, Ling Xiaoxiao waved her hand to stop her, "Mom, don't think so. Who are those people? Haven't you seen it yet? They are all little people who hate others and laugh at others. Man, after so many years in the village, what did the grandfather, as the head of the clan, do? When you were bullied by your grandma in those years, did they make the decision for you? Although it is not good for outsiders to interfere in other people's family affairs, but As the patriarch, can't he still restrain his younger brother and sister-in-law? You must know that he has this right, but he does not act. Do you know why? "
"That's because he never paid attention to my father and you, my nephew, niece, and daughter-in-law. He didn't have the kind of love that an elder who is the head of a clan should have towards his younger generation. He just stood aside and looked at himself. His younger brother’s family is in a state of turmoil, which shows his superiority as the head of the family.”
After hearing what Ling Xiaoxiao said, Zhou Yuniang looked at Ling Xiaoxiao suspiciously, "Erya, how do you know so many truths? Did the dream you had teach you these principles of life?"
Ling Xiaoxiao was also shocked. She accidentally said too much, but Ling Xiaoxiao was not afraid because what she said was true.
"Mom, if I don't talk about the past, it doesn't mean that I don't understand. It's just that I used to have a dull personality. I've seen a lot before, so I understand a lot more. Besides, I did live in that dream for decades. Growing up with the young master’s child in a dream, decades of experience cannot be a dream in vain!”
After listening to Ling Xiaoxiao's explanation, Zhou Yunniang no longer hesitated. Her daughter was right. She had gone through decades in the dream, and her life experience was only much more than her own. It seems that she will still have more than her second daughter in the future. Yachao is good at chatting, and she always has a lot more knowledge than she and her husband do.
The mother and daughter sat in the restaurant for a while. Ling Xiaoxiao opened a room at the lobby shopkeeper's place and asked her mother Zhou Yunniang to rest here first. After dressing up, she left the restaurant to go shopping.
Not far after leaving the restaurant, he saw Ling Daniu supporting Ling Quanzhong. The two father and son were walking around on the street looking for him. After thinking about it, Ling Xiaoxiao raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and took it out from the space. A silver hairpin came out and was stuffed into Ling Daniu's belt when he wasn't paying attention.
Ling Xiaoxiao then turned around and went to a government servant who was patrolling the street not far away, "Sir, I just went out with a silver hairpin. It was my mother's dowry. The family really couldn't make ends meet, so I took it with me." I came to the city to find a pawn shop to pawn, but when I just passed by that person, he touched me, but when he turned around, the silver hairpin on my body disappeared. Can you help me ask? You know There’s nothing I can do about my empty talk!”
As Ling Xiaoxiao spoke, the ingot of broken silver hidden in his hand was already stuffed into the hand of the yamen servant. The yamen servant quickly put the ingot of broken silver into his sleeve with a calm look on his face. With Ling Xiaoxiao.
"Is what you said true? Don't lie to me. If it is false, I will definitely arrest you and put you in jail."
Ling Xiaoxiao smiled very flatteringly, "Hey, judging from what you said, even ordinary people wouldn't dare!"
When the yamen officer heard what Ling Xiaoxiao said, he quickly walked towards Ling Quanzhong and Ling Daniu. Ling Xiaoxiao looked behind and smiled silently. He really didn't care about spending this little money. He was in that mountain. There were more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver in the bandit's village. A silver hairpin worth only a few taels of silver could send Ling Quanzhong and the others to prison for a while, which was considered worthwhile.
