Chapter 70

There was no wind, there were no sails hanging on the cargo ship, and it flowed down the Zuo River.

Thinking of what he was about to do, he couldn't help but feel nervous. A strong man asked Huang Wei in a slightly trembling voice: "Uncle Master, is there only a few of us in such a big event?"

Huang Wei looked at him coldly: "What are you worried about? Supervisor Yao and Supervisor Fang have been operating in Taipingzhai these days, and everything has been arranged long ago. You can do it as you follow your instructions!"

Seeing that Huang Wei's face was not kind, the man shrank his head and did not dare to say anything anymore.

The cabin suddenly became quiet, and only the summer sun shone on the boat, which was so spicy that it was roasted in the cabin like a steamer.

Liu Dahu and Niangzi Qiu sat in the tea shop and drank a large pot of water from the owner's house. The sun rose and it was as hot as a steamer. The water could not be stored in the body, and it turned into a stinky sweat.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Xiuxiu and the other two had to wait for Xu Ping, playing in the water by the pond bored. At this time, the big and small fish in the pond could not be squeezed down, and they were thrusting and having fun not far away.

Madam Qiu wiped the sweat beads on her forehead and said to Liu Dahu: "The people have dispersed, and there is nothing wrong with your sister. Why not let us go now."

Liu Dahu wanted to refuse, but Madam Qiu was too lazy to pay attention to him. She just stood up and walked towards Liu Xiaomei and the others by the pool. Liu Dahu had no choice but to follow behind lazily.

When he arrived by the pond, Mrs. Qiu bowed and laughed before he said anything: "Miss. Qiu is living with Liu Dahu from Zhongzhou. I heard that my younger sister is going to get married in a few days, so I come here to congratulate you."

Duan Yunjie and Xiuxiu looked at Liu Xiaomei together, and were unsure of their ideas on how to treat this person.

As the saying goes, don’t hit people with a smile. Liu Xiaomei looked at Madam Qiu and reluctantly replied: “I’m sorry.”

Then Liu Dahu walked around from behind Niangzi Qiu and said to Liu Xiaomei with a smile: "Congratulations to my sister, why don't you tell my brother about such a big event?"

Liu Xiaomei looked at her brother coldly, turned her head and didn't say anything back to him.

Liu Dahu smiled embarrassedly: "My sister is about to get married, why is she still having such a temper?"

Xiuxiu was disliked when she saw this Liu Dahu and said angrily: "You brother-in-law seller, your conscience is so bad! Sister Liu Xiaomei will not pay attention to you!"

Liu Dahu didn't dare to provoke Xiuxiu. While laughing, he hid behind Niang Qiu.

Qiu Niang sighed: "Miss Xiuxiu, why bother to mention those past events?"

Xiuxiu said: "Why don't you mention it? He will hurt him once, and there will be a third time! People like this should stay away as soon as possible so as not to be sold by him again!"

Madam Qiu smiled and said, "You can't say that. In the Zhongzhou season, Liu Da was inseparable from food and clothing, and was instigated by a group of friends to do such a kind of despicable thing. As the saying goes, "If the granaries are full, you know etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace. Now, we open a small shop by the dock, and we have money every day, so we don't have to worry about food and clothing. He will never do anything like before."

Xiuxiu turned her head: "No matter how nice you say, who will believe it!"

Madam Qiu sighed again: "Their family affection, no matter how great the grudge is, it should be put down after so long. The little lady also has brothers and sisters. If you separate her flesh and blood, you should know how desolate it is."

After hearing this, Xiuxiu closed her mouth and stopped talking about Liu Dahu. She has been in Yongzhou for four or five years and has been worrying about her family all the time, especially her younger brother Huzi. Now she has learned to write. The family letters that happened every few months are now written by him. Speaking of flesh and blood, Xiuxiu could not imagine that she would ignore her younger brother because of something. It was a strong family affection that could not be cut off even after death.

After making the story, Mrs. Qiu said to Duan Yunjie again: "This sister also helps me persuade my younger sister. In the past, Big Tiger has been so different, so I will accompany him."

Duan Yunjie said lightly: "What's the point of persuasion for such a thing? They know everything about their brother and sister. Outsiders always can't speak or get involved."

Madam Qiu's face turned red and looked depressed. Duan Yunjie had something in her words, obviously saying that Madam Qiu and Liu Dahu had not gotten married, but in fact she was an outsider who was worried about it.

But I have already arrived here and I can't give up halfway. Niangzi Qiu is a smart man. He knows that his current rich life is ultimately building a tower on the sand dunes. His foundation is not solid and he will collapse at any time. If you want to have a safe life in the future, you must firmly hold on to Gao Daquan's thigh.

After sorting out his mood, Madam Qiu said to Liu Xiaomei again: "Little sister, you will get married in a few days. I have put on a few pieces of jewelry, which is also a matter of my wish. I hope you won't dislike it."

Liu Xiaomei didn't even look at Niangzi Qiu, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't want your jewelry!"

At this time, the sun rose to the top and the hot and hot. Liu Dahu hid aside. The smelly sweat that had been blown away before was quickly dried. He felt that the skin on his body was about to crack. He was already anxious. He heard Liu Xiaomei's words and couldn't help but become irritated and said with a loud voice: "Now you have climbed up a high branch. You look down on my brother. I hate you in every way. I am so shy to recognize you! I thought back then, my parents went early and you wouldn't walk. Why did I raise you with a cattle on my back? A girl is outgoing. You remember the two wrong things I did when I lard was heartbroken, but I don't want to be so big that you grow up so big? How can you get married? Forget it, since you don't recognize me, I won't let you watch jokes here, just marry yourself and enjoy wealth! But I don't want such a big thing. No one's family will support you, and you are not afraid of others' jokes! Madam Qiu, let's go, don't ask for help here!"

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Niangzi Qiu and walked back in anger.

Liu Xiaomei stood there quietly, looking at the lake, tears couldn't help but burst into tears. The brother and sister helped each other to grow up, how could it be all hatred? My parents left too early, and Liu Xiaomei couldn't even walk on the road. When she was young, she was raised by her brother. Liu Dahu, who was in her early 10 years old, also suffered a lot. When Liu Xiaomei grew up, her brother learned bad things. She changed her to help her brother, and she suffered a lot again.

Can grudges really be calculated? Could it be that we will never interact with each other forever?

The willow branches gently brushed the water surface, without any wind, and looked lazy under the scorching sun.

The cargo ship leaned against the dock, Huang Wei left the cabin and looked around. It was the hottest time. There was no one by the river. He quietly turned around and asked Manager Fang who came out: "Have you arranged anyone in the cargo yard?"

Manager Fang said respectfully: "I agreed with Tian Er that he would not go out today and take care of the yard for me. Although this person is not worthy of it, he is just greedy for money and should not miss it."

Huang Wei nodded: "Okay, let's go to your cargo yard first!"

Manager Fang agreed to get off the ship first and take everyone to the cargo yard not far away.

There are always many such cargo yards near the dock, which charges for customers to store goods. Large warehouses opened in large areas, making money every day. The cargo yard of the manager is naturally not as large as that, but it only has a piece of land in the open air, surrounded by fences, and a row of five bamboo houses are built inside.

When I arrived at the cargo yard, I found that there were more than fifty customers inside, all of whom had horses, as if they were a big horse gang.

Tian Er was busy with two servants. When he saw Manager Fang coming back, he came up and grabbed him: "Brother, you are back! Who would have thought that such a big business would be able to take on such a big business? Brother, I really can't take care of you. Go and talk to their master quickly!"

Manager Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own opinions. Okay, I'll take care of you here. Just go and do your business, you're tired this day."

After hearing this, Tian Er felt relieved. Then he noticed the following people Huang Wei and Supervisor Yao and asked Supervisor Fang: "Are these people your two friends? Why have you never seen them before?"

"We are all acquaintances I met in Qinzhou. I happened to meet them here on the way, so I brought them back to reminisce about the past. We will greet the guests, so you don't need to worry."

After hearing what Manager Fang said, General Tian Er was skeptical and thought that it was such a coincidence that he brought so many people back at once. However, he was just a name in the yard and was free to get interest. He was too lazy to take care of Manager Fang. He just said politely and then went back to the floor to rest.

Seeing Tian Er enter the room, Huang Wei said coldly to a man beside him: "Please take this person tightly and don't let him go outside!"

The man nodded, touched the sharp knife around his waist, and pulled a stool outside the house and sat down.

After arranging Tian Er, Huang Weicai and Supervisor Fang walked towards the horse gang guests.

Not far away, a thin figure stood up among the dozens of people sitting on the ground resting, lifted up Fan Yangli, who was wearing a sunshade on his head, and smiled at Huang Wei, "Brother, why did you come so late?"

Huang Wei shook his head: "The boat is moving slowly, how can we compare to Yanei's riding horse?"

The thin body was Huang Conggui, the former Zhongzhou little yamen, who had not seen for a long time.

Huang Conggui walked up and patted Huang Wei on the shoulder: "Haha, I was worried that you would encounter an accident on the way just now, so I would be more careful and feel relieved when I see my brother! So many of us are anxious to wait, so I will send someone to get two barrels of wine to quench our thirst!"

Huang Wei turned around and instructed Manager Yao to ask him to go back to the store to get some wine and food, so that everyone can eat and drink enough to do things at night.

When Director Yao left, Huang Wei asked Huang Conggui again: "Why didn't my brother come with me?"

Huang Conggui said: "If you scholars are full of poetry and books, you can only write two sour poems. When you really do things, you will be afraid of it. You are afraid of it. What big thing can you accomplish? Because your brother was told by Tongzong of Xu a few years ago that he was not allowed to do business in Yongzhou. He was afraid that he would not dare to come here in Qianlongdong until now. He dared to be like me, and he was a mortal enemy of Xu, and he was coming with a swagger!"

Huang Wei laughed twice, smiling slightly: "Isn't the charisma of Yanei comparable to ordinary people? Not to mention my brother. But then again, the Yongzhou area once drew pictures to chase Yanei, so you should be careful."

Huang Conggui waved his hand: "I'm afraid he's a bird! The person surnamed Xu dared to come to me and slashed him with one knife!"
