Waves of light rain hit the bluestone road in Chajiao, leaving behind wet traces.

Pedestrians held paper oil umbrellas and walked past one by one. In the hazy Fangcun, the alleys felt like Xiguan Street.

Li Yu watched the fluttering oil-paper umbrellas passing by, and a sentence he had read in a book flashed through his mind.

Your young master has gone abroad to study abroad, but the people in his heart have stayed in his hometown to teach. The Western City is prosperous everywhere, but it is not as prosperous as your alleyway plain shirt.

Girls are always full of hope, and these rough guys can't tell Li Yu's thoughts at all.

Everyone was arguing over whether Niu Jingqiang should continue to be hospitalized.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. I will take you back to the hospital."

Jiang Hao squatted down and asked Niu Jingqiang to climb onto his back, but Niu Jingqiang sat there stubbornly motionless. Being hospitalized again would be another expense, and he couldn't spend everyone's hard-earned money like a useless person.

"But there are no beds when we go back." She Zaiming was also in a dilemma. After all, there was a shortage of hospital beds. Niu Jingqiang was determined to be discharged, so the hospital naturally released him quickly.

The current financial situation is tight, and disagreements are inevitable. It has been almost 20 days since I left. There is not much left over for medical expenses, materials for the stall, stall fees, accommodation in the hostel, food expenses, etc.

Seeing Jiang Hao's expression of anger, Niu Jingqiang wanted to say a few more words, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he was interrupted by someone running towards him.

I saw the person coming out of breath, carrying a baggage with a flat head and worn-out cloth shoes. There was also an old straw hat wrapped around the baggage. There were dense beads of sweat on his forehead, and his chest was rising and falling due to rapid breathing.

Jiang Hao looked surprised when he saw that the person coming was Yu Tian, ​​the son of Lao Yu of Xiaobei Village.

Yu Tian looked at the familiar people in front of him and finally calmed down. Lao Yu had only brought him to the provincial capital once. This time he came alone and asked questions almost all the way.

I ignored the sweat on my face and looked at the question marks on their faces. I saw a teapot on the table. I picked it up and drank several sips at the spout of the teapot. I drank so anxiously that my shirt collar was soaked.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Hao took the rag and wiped it on his face and neck.

Yu Tian looked at the stall that had been set up and the haggard look of some of them. After calming down, he said: "Something happened. A customer in the village came to make trouble because of delivery issues. Xiao Yao ran away and couldn't pay his wages.

There was no one to work on and the goods could not be delivered, so the customer asked someone to beat Captain Zhang and hurt him."

When Jiang Hao heard that Captain Zhang was injured, his heart felt like an ant in his heart.

Veins clenched in his fists. Jiang Hao understood that the tea-picking team's customers had always been gentle, and delivery had been delayed before, but they would not lead to violent fights. This group of customers was causing trouble, and Boss Liu must have been causing trouble.

"Hey, these are these shovels!" Niu Jingqiang was so angry that he dropped his walking stick and his face became even paler.

"Is Lao Zhang seriously injured?" Snake Zaiming grabbed Yu Tian's arm and frowned on his face.

Yu Tian looked a little submissive. After all, seeing their indignant expressions and pale faces, he really didn't dare to tell the truth.

"Say it, we are all our own people, there is nothing we can't say." Jiang Hao thought he had some taboos, so he reminded him.

"The injury was quite serious. My right leg was fractured and my ribs were fractured. I had surgery at the county hospital."

Yu Tian thought of the unexpected uninvited guests that day. Zhang Wucai argued with them for a few words. Then a group of people started to beat Zhang Wu.

He was beaten to death and disabled.

The ferocity of that group of people makes me still tremble when I think about it.

Jiang Hao looked at the painful expression on Yu Tian's face that he didn't want to remember, and he could think of how tragic the situation was that day.

The more they thought about it, the angrier they became, and their palms clenched tightly in unison.

Li Yu looked at their expressions. It happened that several customers had sat down. Seeing that several people were unmoved, she had no choice but to pick up the kettle and wanted to greet the customers. Unexpectedly, Jiang Hao grabbed her elbow with one hand.

Li Yu was really puzzled by his behavior, but he had no choice but to stand still.

Jiang Hao turned around and walked to the table of guests, bowed slightly and said, "Sorry, we are not doing business today."

The guests were all very disappointed and could only murmur angrily. They knew they wouldn't come, so they opened the door even if they weren't doing business.

"Brother Hao, this..." Fanshu Chang watched the guest walk away in vain, and really couldn't understand why Jiang Hao.

Chui Shuihui and She Zaiming seemed to be waiting for Jiang Hao to speak, and looked at the stall, somewhat reluctant to leave.

Jiang Hao paced back and forth, sometimes wiping his nose with his fist, sometimes pulling his forehead, and pondered for a long time.

"Go back to the guest house to clean up and go back to the countryside."

Jiang Hao looked at them with firm eyes and an unquestionable tone.

Others are also worried about the situation in Xiaobei Village. Their family members can't find any clues about Xiao Yao here. Although they have found nothing, compared with the current severe situation in Xiaobei Village, they can only give up and finally support them.

stalls set up.

Seeing that all the hard work they had put in over the past ten days had come to naught, several people couldn't muster any energy and could only start burying their heads in packing the tools.

Li Yu was at a loss and grabbed the corners of her clothes, biting her lip as she watched them clean up. If she went back, her father would definitely not let her out again, and her hard work of running away from home would be forced to come to an end.

.But recalling that Xiaobei Village was managed by her father, endless worries arose in her heart.

For a time, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts.

Jiang Hao gathered all the things and took them to the ice bank owner for temporary storage.

When passing by the pork stall, he happened to see the pork guy wiping and wiping the jade he had temporarily mortgaged. He touched the not thick banknotes in his pocket, resisted the urge to redeem the jade, and forced himself to twist

Head over and walk back to the guest house.

Li Yuzheng ran over to him. When he saw this scene, he remembered what She Zaiming had mentioned to her, about Jiang Hao mortgaging his most important jade in order to open a business.

She saw that Jiang Hao was about to turn in her direction, so she ducked into a corner.

Seeing Jiang Hao walk away, she secretly glanced at the pork stall.

When Jiang Hao returned to the guest house, several people had packed up, but Li Yu was missing. He looked around, and when he was about to go back to the stall to search, he saw Li Yu walking not far away.

The midday sun reflected on her body, with two shiny black braids swaying, and a smile that couldn't be hidden on her face as she walked towards them.

Realizing that something was stirring in his heart, Jiang Hao suddenly turned his head away and said to them: "Check everything to see if there is anything missing."

Li Yu walked up to them, looking very happy.

"Xiao Yu, go and clean up, I'll be waiting for you."

Jiang Hao watched her go upstairs, turned around and took out the stack of money in his pocket.

"We don't have enough money to go back, so we may have to walk for a while."

At this moment, Yu Tian suddenly remembered something, took off his shoes, and pulled out a fifty yuan note from under the shoe sticker.

"Captain Zhang asked me to give this to you as travel expenses."
