Chapter 36 He Jinhuai is the county magistrate's life-saving benefactor

"I don't know, but I guess it disturbed his sleep."

After all, the two rooms went so early.

"Beat hard enough, your second uncle and Qingshui have blood on their faces."

Xiao Qinghua said unceremoniously, "What's ruthless, it's better to be killed." ”

"What nonsense?"

Meng Shi reprimanded, although she hated the second room of the big house, she didn't think about the dead.

Xiao Qinghua snorted and stopped talking.

Meng Shi said, "That is, He Bawang dares to make such a dead hand, if he changes others, he will not make a lot of trouble." ”

"Why don't they dare to mess with He Bawang?" Xiao Qinghua asked. She only knew that everyone in the village was afraid of He Bawang, because He Bawang was particularly fierce in fighting, and he dared to fight with wolves, but He Bawang was only one person, why should there be so many people in the village afraid of one person?

"Stupid or not." Xiao Qingyue put her hand on her shoulder and said, "What can you do if you make trouble?" Even if you sue the government, no one will be able to please you. ”

"Why? Didn't the government decide the case? ”

"Do you think, even if they go to the government and they arrest He Bawang, will the person who sued him still live in the village in the future? You can't leave your hometown, right? If you live, do you think who is the head of our village? You let people arrest the eldest son, can the chief make you feel better? In the future, as long as there is something in the village, the governor will not bring you, and it will be enough for you. ”

Besides, the ancient people were afraid of seeing officials, and as soon as they heard about the government, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, so they would rather suffer because they were beaten to sue the officials.

Meng Shi continued, "It's useless to sue the official, He Jinhuai is the county master's life-saving benefactor." ”

"Huh? And what about this one? ”

"Well, two years ago, the county master took people to hunt in the mountains and met a wolf, and he happened to be met by He Jinhuai, no, I went out to do things for the county master last year, and I didn't come back until the autumn, and I have a good relationship with the county master."

If that's the case, then no one would dare to congratulate him.

No wonder he doesn't seem to be ordinarily arrogant.

As he spoke, Meng Shi had already scooped up the steamed potatoes in a small basin, and took out a stack of pickled cabbage from the cupboard.

He said to the two sisters, "Serve the bowl to eat, eat, Hua'er and your mother have embroidered the handkerchief on their hands in a hurry, and tomorrow I will go to the town to give it to the embroidery room." ”

"Not going today?"

Xiao Qingyue still wants to go to town today.

"Where are you going today? It's not a set. ”

"Oh yes, I forgot."

The town here coincides with the even number of markets, today is the fifth day of the lunar month, and there are more than 20 days to celebrate the New Year.

Xiao Qingyue held a potato in her hand and peeled it skillfully, the Xiao family's three meals a day were so vegetarian that they couldn't be vegetarian anymore, anyway, it was either sweet potatoes or potatoes, so An's and the old man's meal was slightly better.

An's can eat one nest and one egg a day, because she has to nurse the child, but she often divides the nest head and eggs with the three sisters.

The old man was sick and couldn't eat hard food, so Meng Shi made an egg and hot water for him to drink every day, and then he just made some paste of Erhe noodles.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyue suddenly couldn't swallow.

She thought that after the New Year, the weather would be warmer and she would find a way to get money.

But it's always potatoes and sweet potatoes, which makes her a little tired, and she wants to eat white rice and noodles.

But these ask for money, although she has money in her hands, but she still wants to treat the old man.

It looks like it's going to be planned ahead.

"Why don't you eat it?"

Meng Shi asked when he saw her stunned.

"Eat, I was thinking about things just now."

"Hurry up and eat, it will cool your stomach for a while."

"Oh."
