As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and winked at the person behind him.

That arrogant look doesn't have the humility and responsibility that a person who suffers even half of it should have.

A laborer can earn up to thirty cash per day.

For example, Uncle Wang is responsible for taking his sister and brother to school every day, and also helps her with some things. She pays him ten cents a day.

Ten cents is already quite high for Uncle Wang.

And these people, when they meet, speak loudly.

Xia Qianqian looked at everyone coldly, with a sneer on her lips.

The person who came here is not kind!

"It's so expensive!" She breathed out a smile, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Aren't you going to invite someone?"

The tall man raised his chin and said scornfully: "Now that I'm calling for my brothers to come over, you dislike us and don't want us. How can that be justified?"

"No!" The people behind him raised their arms and shouted, "We traveled in vain, we need to be compensated!"

"Yes! Everyone has at least ten cents for travel expenses. Pay us and we'll leave. Otherwise, you won't do anything today." The tall man started to yell with a sinister look on his face.

When these people sing and harmonize, all their actions flow smoothly, and the traces of performance are too obvious.

They gathered not really to do hard work, but to deliberately cause trouble.

Xia Qianqian stood at the door, her eyes faintly swept over them, and finally landed on the outside of the crowd.

Ji Zimo stood at the door of his house, gathering his cloak. Xiao Yong on the side wanted to come over, but he stretched out his hand to stop him.

This person is really...

Xia Qianqian was furious, thinking that this person could change his face very quickly.

The day before yesterday, he had confessed to her in a decent manner and wanted to marry her.

Yesterday, he deliberately kissed her in the carriage.

Today, so many people came to surround her, deliberately causing trouble and trying to bully her, but he stood aside and watched coldly.

Really...

You deserve to be single.

Facing a group of strong men, Xia Qianqian stood aloof at the gate. For a moment, she was weak and did not speak.

Behind her, Li Yunniang was already frightened. She pulled her sleeves and whispered: "Qianqian, what should we do?"

At a glance, there were at least forty people standing on the street.

Ten cents per person, and four hundred cents for forty people.

Although she had some savings, four hundred pennies, if converted to five pennies for a backpack, would require weaving eighty backpacks, which would take her a month.

All the money you get is hard-earned money, how can you give it to others casually?

What's more, she gave her the coins now. If a hundred or two hundred people come in the afternoon and ask for coins under the same excuse, what will she do?

Give it too?

How is that possible?

"Do you want travel expenses?" Xia Qianqian laughed dumbly, "Is ten cents enough?"

What does she mean?

The tall man was stunned by her unexpected answer.

The person behind him tugged at him, and several people whispered to each other. He turned around and said loudly: "We just calculated it. We went back and forth and wasted half a day's work, so you must give us half a day's wages.

”

Half a day's wages, isn't that fifty cents?

You haven't done any work and you still need fifty cents. How is this different from robbing money?

It's just asking people to raise prices, which is too much.

Xu Jiang couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and said loudly: "Brothers, this matter makes no sense at all. Even though I have spread the news that I am recruiting people, I have never confirmed that I am recruiting you. You can't ask for high prices and cheat money randomly.

."

When the tall man saw someone standing up for the little girl, he immediately changed his face and scolded: "Little old man, be careful what you say. The road in Fu'an Village is uneven and the river is winding. It's easy to break your legs and fall into the river?"

The threatening meaning of this sentence is simply ridiculous.

As the head of Fu'an Village, Xu Jiang has a certain reputation among the eight villages in Shili.

Considering that he is an old village chief and easy to get things done, the villagers are very respectful to him. How could anyone jump out and threaten him so bluntly?

Xu Jiang was so angry that his gray beard trembled, veins popped up on his forehead, and he pointed at those people, "How could you..."

"Why can't we?" The tall man raised his eyes and said provocatively: "You have bullied others too much, refused to pay, and want to default on the debt. Can't we ask for an explanation?"

The two parties were arguing, and Ji Zimo, who was standing not far away, raised his finger at Xia Qianqian.

Xia Qianqian was stunned. She didn't expect him to take action. Looking in the direction of his finger, her cold heart suddenly jumped with excitement.

She took a step forward, stopped Xu Jiang, and said in a deep voice: "Village Chief, don't be angry. Isn't it just a matter of a few copper coins? It's easy to handle. I'll just give you the money."

As she spoke, she gestured to take something out of her sleeves.

Xu Jiang was a little anxious and whispered: "Don't do it. This kind of person can just be sent away. If you give me copper coins this time, you will find various excuses to come and ask for money. We can't afford it."

”

He spoke in a low voice, but the tall man was so close that he could hear every word, and his eyes suddenly burst into flames, "Stop talking nonsense and give me the coins quickly."

"How can a copper coin be worthy of you? There are so many people, and even if you don't say anything, you still need money." Xia Qianqian interrupted her with a smile.

Immediately, she took out three taels of silver from her sleeves and handed it over, "You should divide it among them."

The tall man's eyes flashed with gold, and he reached out his hand eagerly to pick it up.

Xia Qianqian shrank her hands and said to herself: "Three taels is too much, I'll give you two taels of silver."

"How can that be done!"

There is no reason to take back the money you gave away.

The tall man looked anxious, stretched out his hand to grab it, and shouted: "The remaining silver will naturally be used for tea for the brothers."

"You can't... you can't rob openly!" She paused, and then almost shouted at the top of her lungs.

The tall man was naturally happy with the money in hand, and couldn't help but sneered: "I'm just robbing you, what can you do to me?"

She was just waiting for his words!

Xia Qianqian changed her eager look just now, folded her arms, and looked like she was watching a good show, "If you rob it openly, you have committed a crime, and it will naturally be left to the government to discuss the crime."

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps came one after another not far away.

A group of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears ran over quickly and surrounded everyone.

Although these people are men, no good man dares to be an enemy of the government officials.

Everyone panicked, even the tall man was at a loss, his eyes were wandering, and he lost his bearings for a moment.

A little boss wearing armor quickly stepped forward and asked: "Who is robbing things openly?"

Xia Qianqian took a closer look and saw that this person was Gong Xiaoba.

She hurriedly pretended that her legs were weak, leaned against the door frame, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, pinched a corner, wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Master, you came just in time, this

Someone passed by my door and robbed me of three taels of silver, but he still..."
