"How can you do this!"

Seeing the basket rolling on the ground, Du Zhongxiao rushed out in one step.

Raw sheep hooves are on credit. Every day, Du Zhongxiao sold braised sheep hooves and paid back yesterday's payment before she could return to credit sheep hooves. This basket of sheep hooves was ruined by Wu Kejiu, and the family's livelihood will not be settled tomorrow. How can I tell the butcher Tan who credits the sheep hooves?

Looking at Du Zhongxiao's back, Wu Kejiu just sneered. How much money can a basket of sheep hooves be worth? Only such poor people can look at it like something. If Wu Kejiu usually brought this kind of food, he wouldn't bother to take a look at it. It was particularly cold today, and on a whim, and only after entering the store was there, people would just come up casually.

Du Zhongxiao picked up the scattered sheep's hooves on the ground. Wu Kejiu was too lazy to see him anymore, so he turned to Han Lian and said, "Hurry up, go and call your daughter Yue Niang to accompany you to drink! I will push you three times and stop you, which will make me sexually and smash your shop together!"

Han Lian looked embarrassed and was so anxious that he was walking around in circles, not knowing what to do.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. A small official like Wu Kejiu, who is a businessman who comes to a store where he buys his own wine, can be said to be asking for it. There is no way, the family's livelihood is in the hands of others. In fact, many families are willing to do this, and there are really shameless people, let alone daughters, but also let their wives come out to drink with them.

However, Han Lian is not that kind of person. He is a serious family. The couple is just one girl. From childhood to adulthood, they have to be like something, for fear of being a little wronged. How could they let their daughter do such a shameless thing? The Wu family can't afford to offend her and her daughter cannot come out, Han Lian is in a dilemma.

Wu Kejiu was impatiently waiting there, so he reached out to push Han Lian aside and walked into the store.

Han Yueniang was stopped by her mother, shy and angry, but she didn't know what to do. Wu Kejiu and Cao Jucheng were young and strong, why was their family a rival? Could it be that they could only be bullied?

Hearing Wu Kejiu's footsteps, Han's mother came out from behind and reached out to stop her and said, "What are you going to do in broad daylight!"

Wu Kejiu was angry and reached out to push Han’s mother down, saying, “Old fantasy, are you still pretending to be stupid? Let your daughter come out to drink quickly! When I drink well, let Yaren talk to you tomorrow. Taking her as a concubine will inevitably bring you your benefits!”

Seeing his mother falling to the ground, Han Yueniang hurriedly came out from behind to support her: "Mom, are you doing well?"

In Du Zhongxiao's impression, he called his parents in ancient times, but he realized that he was very wrong when he was in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was true that the Han people in the Central Plains called their fathers, and the most common name for their mothers was mothers. Some people in the Central Plains called their mothers, but few of them. In fact, the name of people in this era was similar to that of Du Zhongxiao's previous life. However, it was more common that the Han people in the Khitan called their parents as their parents.

When Wu Kejiu saw Han Yueniang coming out, he stepped forward and pulled his sleeves: "It's just coming out! Just letting you come and drink a glass of wine with us, how can you be so squeamish! How can I do anything to you in broad daylight? You have served you well and will take you into your family as a concubine in two days, and it seems like you are suffering here. If it's not good, I will find a tooth and buy you home as a maid. Don't blame me then!"

Han Yueniang struggled hard, pulled her sleeve out of Wu Kejiu's hand, and shouted: "I'm fine at my own house, why do you want to be a maid and a concubine at your house? My family is not short of food and clothing, don't dream in daylight!"

After hearing this, Wu Kejiu pointed at Han Yueniang and smiled at Cao Jucheng, "What are you talking about? You are a little pretty. You don't enjoy it for a few years when you are young, but you are suffering in your own family. Isn't this stupid? I think you are used to being poor and don't know how rich my family is. I tell you that when you arrive at my house, you wear silk and satin, and fish every day, how can you compare now?"

Han Yueniang said coldly: "I just love the thorn hairpin and cloth skirts, don't waste your lips and tongue here!"

At this moment, Du Zhongxiao picked up the sheep's hooves and left the shop again. Seeing Wu Kejiu pulling Han Yueniang there, anger arose from his heart, and rushed over with a big stroll, shouting angrily: "Broad day, you traitor dare to tease a good woman!"

Wu Kejiu turned his head and looked surprised: "You little thief is so dizzy! Old Han used my family's capital to open a shop. Isn't it duty for his daughter to be a maid and a concubine at my house? What do I do if I talk to his daughter?"

This is the sorrow of a small businessman. If he uses other people's capital to open a store, he will be bullied. Those who lend money regard it as a slave, which is a legacy of the previous generation, not Wu Kejiu's nonsense. It is much better to have a big place like Kaifeng Prefecture. If you borrow money and borrow money, your body is not controlled by others. Linying is a small place, but it is not so open-minded. When Wu Kejiu heard that the Han family sold wine from his own restaurant, he regarded them as his servants, so he naturally was unscrupulous. What's the matter with the master teasing a maid, and it's right to force her to sleep with her at night.

At this time, the law on slaves was quite chaotic. Overall, the personal dependence was gradually abolished and turned into a pure employment relationship. But where is the habits formed over the past thousands of years so easy to change? The master-servant relationship still leaves many traces.

Many girls from poor families in the city went to wealthy families to work as maids and concubines when they were young. Anyway, they were hired, and when they got older, they came out to find a serious family to marry and live a peaceful life. It was precisely because of this atmosphere that Wu Kejiu was confident and felt that it was the right thing to ask Han Yueniang to drink when she came. He liked her as a concubine to benefit the Han family.

Du Zhongxiao's soul came from later generations, but he did not have this consciousness. Seeing Han Yueniang standing up, his cheeks were angry, and his anger surged up. He put the basket containing sheep's hooves on the table next to him, reached out to protect Han Yueniang, and said sternly: "This shop only sells wine and food, and the owner has already made it clear. You want to find someone to sing songs and accompany you to drink, and just go outside to invite him. Yueniang is a innocent girl, how can you do this? If you get entangled here again, you will sue the county government! You will sue you for teasing the people, and you will not care about the government!"

When Wu Kejiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "What are you talking about, a little thief? Old Han sold my wine for credit and asked her daughter to drink with me? The government is so idle, come and care about this?"

After saying that, Wu Kejiu said to Cao Jucheng who was walking over: "No wonder that Du Xun failed the imperial examination. Seeing his son, he didn't understand the truth at all. How could the master tease the servant?"

Cao Jucheng said: "Looking at the appearance of this little thief, have you fallen in love with this daughter? If you want to be a flower protector, don't you just talk nonsense!"

When Han Yueniang heard them speak unbearably, she became more and more embarrassed and angry, and said loudly: "Our family is just selling the wine from 'Qixiangju', so why have you become a slave in your family? At worst, you won't be able to buy your wine from tomorrow! In Linying County, you are not the only one who makes wine!"

Wu Kejiu clapped his hands: "If you say these words, you little lady really ignorant! If you don't make a credit for my wine, which one do you want to make a credit for? Could it be that you can carry this store to the other side of the city?"

Han Yueniang said angrily: "The other company is just to go more roads."

Wu Kejiu just sneered and said to Han Yueniang: "You don't know your mind, and I won't be naughty today. After a few days, if you know that if you don't make my wine, you won't be able to live. I'll come to you again. At that time, when you enter my house just for a maid, you won't have a share of being a concubine."

After saying that, he returned to the table and took the wine and drank it all, and said to Cao Jucheng: "Let's leave first. Remember that this shop is here, and I will bring a tooth to buy this little lady home as a maid. At that time, I have the means to mercy her!"

Cao Jucheng smiled and said, "The little girl is young and does not understand worldly affairs. It is also a common human nature. Don't blame me. I think this little lady looks really beautiful, and she is even more beautiful when she gets angry. If you don't accept her, I will take her as my concubine then-"

Wu Kejiu laughed, grabbed Cao Jucheng's hand, and swayed out of the door.

Seeing the two left, Han Lian turned around and said helplessly to Yue Niang: "Daughter, you just got involved with these two evil stars. How could you say something that you didn't make a credit for his wine? What should we do? When the wine in the store is sold out, what else can we sell? The livelihood is gone."

At this time, the wine was a specialty, and only a few designated restaurants could make wine. For example, the small-foot restaurants like the Han family had to sell wine from those restaurants, and there was no other way. Of course, it was not only "Qixiangju" who made wine in Linying County, but the owners of these big restaurants were familiar with it. Who dared to guarantee that other restaurants would not collude with the Wu family? Besides, several big restaurants had set up territory in the county, so could they be changed at will?

Han Yueniang said angrily: "Dad, you didn't hear what that person said. I'm really angry! I don't believe it. If we don't buy wine from 'Qixiangju', our store will be closed? We can definitely buy wine from other stores!"

Han Lian held his wife and just shook his head and sighed.

Du Zhongxiao looked at it and had to comfort him: "Dad Han, please relax. If Wu did this, he would tease a good woman and sue her for the government office. He didn't believe that the county would ignore it. Besides, it really doesn't work, and there is an official restaurant."

Han Lian shook his head and didn't speak.

There is an official restaurant in the county, which also sells wine from outside, but it is even more difficult to deal with than "Qixiangju". The official restaurant was bought by a yaqian surnamed Feng for three years. He relied on the fact that he knew more in the yamen, and he exploited the wine merchants who sell wine from outside.

Seeing that her daughter was so angry that her face turned red, Han Lian knew that she was unhappy and had to say, "My grandma Yue, we small businesses cannot afford to offend big investors who can't afford to buy wine. Don't worry, my parents won't push you into the fire pit, let's watch it in two days. If it really doesn't work, let's change the business."
