Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 208

The child ran around with Aunt Yu all day long. It was already very late when they returned. After dinner, she couldn't help dozing off. She thought that she would still have enough time to sleep for a while before going to Zhang's house to tend to the crops, so there was no need to make things difficult for herself.

So she vaguely told Aunt Yu to call her later. After hearing Aunt Yu's response, she fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she felt heavy. Pumpkin stretched himself into a long strip and pressed on her legs.

Aunt Yu was lying next to her, covered with a quilt, sleeping even more soundly than her.

There was no need to go out to look at the moon. As soon as the child saw how dark the room was, he knew that he must be late.

If you run around on the street now, you will definitely be caught.

I don’t know how angry Eunuch Zhang will be if I don’t get the job done.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking about it, so I should just go to sleep.

The child closed his eyes decisively.

In the dream, Eunuch Zhang kept chasing her and beating her.

The next day, the child woke up and thought for a long time. He didn't want to go anymore, but Aunt Yu said that dreams are the opposite of reality.

She dreamed of being beaten, but maybe she would be praised when she woke up.

What they did yesterday was a great thing.

Zhang Fengci is not an unreasonable person. If he explains it to her properly, it shouldn't be difficult for her... right?

Aunt Yu had no confidence at all when she was trying to persuade him. She herself didn't really believe what she said, let alone the child who was very familiar with Zhang Fengci.

She went over there with her head held high, and Zhang Fengci indeed spoke to her in a sarcastic tone.

It is said that she is the busiest person in the world.

When the child explained it to him, he frowned instead, blaming the child for meddling in his affairs, wondering if it would get him into trouble.

Child: "What kind of trouble could this cause? Will those who were beaten or scolded file a complaint with the authorities?"

Zhang Fengci: "It's okay if they want to sue the authorities, but what they're worried about is that this kind of thing will spread."

The people in Suicheng didn't know much about strange people, immortal cultivation and the like, and just treated them as strange stories. When they saw someone flying on a sword, they thought he was a god, or a bento monster with a slightly strange talent.

It is not uncommon for people to want to offer sacrifices to the former and kill the latter. In the past, these things were neglected and how can we change the foolish views in those people's minds in a short time?

Not to mention being able to see ghosts, even just seeing her fiddling with bones would make ordinary people feel unlucky.

You never know what harsh words he'll say.

Even the common people who have long been accustomed to immortal masters and strange people cannot help but have some taboos.

It is a good thing, but doing good things does not necessarily bring good rewards.

In his opinion, such a job should not be accepted. Even if it is necessary to accept it, she should find a way to get someone else to do it for her.

How can you go there by yourself?

It would be most appropriate to find An Jia and ask him for help.

Zhang Fengci's brows were twisted into a shape of "川" (川) and the children were frightened, thinking that he was going to be scolded again.

But Zhang Fengci didn't want to scold her anymore. He waved his hand and sent her back to work. He was somewhat worried about her in his heart, and even his attitude became much kinder, which was really scary.

Child: Did something dirty get on him when I wasn’t paying attention?

She opened her eyes wide and looked furtively for a long time, but saw nothing, so she had to assume that he was crazy.

As the days passed, what Zhang Fengci worried about did not seem to happen.

The child had long forgotten about this matter. One day, not long after the child left for work as usual, Aunt Yu, who was alone at home, welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

More than a dozen people were blocking the door. When Aunt Yu opened it, the woman at the front shouted, "That's her! It was her who came that day! And there was a little girl with her."

She peeked in and stood on tiptoe to look inside the door as if she wanted to see the little girl.

Aunt Yu took a closer look and found that the woman looked familiar. She was the daughter-in-law of the old ghost.

As soon as she finished speaking, the group became excited and even took two steps forward, as if they were going to force their way through the door.

Aunt Yu was immediately startled and shouted, "Stop! What are you doing coming this close? Even a robber can't force his way into someone's house in broad daylight. The patrol officers are not far away!"

"Constable, what's the use of being a constable?" Someone sneered.

Aunt Yu's heart sank as she laughed.

What's going on? You're not even afraid of the constables. Are you determined to break the law?

Could it be that this old ghost's daughter-in-law was beaten and he was angry and wanted to take revenge?

No matter how brave Aunt Yu was, she was frightened when she saw such a large group of people. Her calves were shaking and she was stunned. She held the door frame tightly and didn't want to let them in.

I thought to myself: It would be troublesome if they beat me to death, they might not dare to kill me, but if they smashed things, robbed money, or demolished the house, it would really be a matter of life and death.

Aunt Yu looked at the distance between those people and her and regretted it again.

I shouldn’t have opened the door completely. It’s too late to close it now!

She's a mess here.

The child lived a peaceful life, listening to Yundou chattering away to her.

She talked about how her brother Candou was doing well recently, and how proud he was of himself every day. How annoying it was.

She said that recently a relative came to borrow money from them, but they had a bad relationship and didn't want to lend her money, so she started crying and wailing. Her mother was afraid that others would hear her, but she also felt sorry for her, so she had to give her some money.

What Yundou disliked most was her mother's temper. She was submissive and allowed her father to be a bastard. He stole things and killed her, and also caused her mother to lose her job in the inner courtyard, which implicated her and her brother.

Every time Yundou complained, her mother would not allow her to say anything bad about her father.

The relative who came this time was my father's aunt. She was such a disgusting person that she should have been beaten out, but her mother actually lent her money and said that she was her elder after all.

Yundou was so angry that she felt like she had a lump in her throat. Elder? What kind of elder was she? She had only come a few times, and when she came, she was asking for money, or trying to force her children to work in the palace.

Don't you even look at what her children look like?

Not only were they rude and ugly, they also loved to stir up trouble. When she was a child, when she took those two kids out to play, they would snatch other people's food as soon as she turned her head, swearing at them and even hitting them.

Her father was not confused about this matter, but he lent them a lot of money, saying that the two children robbed people because they had nothing to eat and were hungry, so they were very pitiful.

Are they hungry? What's the point of eating those old steamed buns and meat?

She thought that since her father died, she would never see those annoying relatives again, but who would have thought that they would come again.

Yundou said bitterly, "My mother refused to listen to me. Just wait and see. Those relatives are like flies. When they smell the meat, they will buzz over and eat the meat and suck the blood. The family has finally saved some money, but now we have to lose it. I don't know what she is thinking! My father borrowed too much money from relatives and was so poor that he had to steal things. She still hasn't learned her lesson!"

This kind of thing makes everyone angry, and the child doesn't understand: "They are so mean, why would your mother do that?"

"Who knows what she's thinking," Yundou said angrily, "She always says we have no father and can only rely on relatives if anything happens. Let those people take advantage of us if they want. After all, we are family. We are not afraid of them denying it as long as the IOU is there. But they haven't paid back a penny! What's the difference between that and not having the IOU at all?"
