In the Second Hospital.

Zhou Tian is having breakfast.

I saw this guy squatting under the eaves, holding rice porridge in one hand and steamed buns in the other, eating voraciously.

Trying to swallow the steamed buns in his mouth, he glanced at the strong porridge in the bowl of the tenants and sighed: "Damn it, the tenants here eat better than me!"

Hearing this, Ma Sangou on the side smiled and said, "Who is the one who blamed you for joining the group?"

"Don't make fun of me with this."

Zhou Tian muttered and continued to chew the steamed buns.

At this moment, Han Zhen led Uncle Fu out of the backyard.

"Sangou, help your father load the goods onto the ox cart."

"Good!"

Ma Sangou responded and stood up to help carry more than 100 kilograms of fine salt onto the ox cart.

Taking advantage of this time, Han Zhen came to Zhou Tian and sat down: "Anime has been doing well recently?"

“Not very good.”

Zhou Tian shook his head.

Han Zhen frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

Logically speaking, with Liu Yong helping to take care of him, the rogues in the county should not dare to cause trouble.

Zhou Tian took a sip of porridge and said, "The thugs dare not make trouble, but the Xu family and the Zheng family dare. After they found out about An Niang's relationship with you, they often called the servants to protect the hospital to harass and smash them. Liu Dutou helped him with it several times, but every time Liu Dutou left, they came back."

"In these days, the magistrates are expanding their recruitment of archers. Liu Du is so busy that he doesn't have time to care about this. So the Xu family and the Zheng family are becoming more and more arrogant. Yesterday, An Niang had no choice but to close the tea shop."

He and An Niang had a relationship with each other, and the Xu family and Zheng family caused trouble for her because of themselves.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen ordered: "When you go back, please give me a message to An Niang. He said that if she believed me, her family would move to Xiaowang Village today and I would send someone to pick her up."

The rest cannot be guaranteed, but it is no problem to let An Niang’s family have no worries about food and clothing and live and work in peace.

"good."

Zhou Tian nodded and responded.

After breakfast, Zhou Tian and Uncle Fu hurriedly left.

When we arrived, we had two ox carts and ten donkeys, but when we left, we had only one ox cart.

...

...

By the time I returned to the county town, it was already ten days.

Knowing that Zhou Tian is now helping the magistrate to do business, the yamen runner who is guarding the gate did not dare to ask where the other ox cart and donkey went.

First, he went to the yamen to pay the office and received two hundred cents from the reward of the county magistrate Chang, and then he happily came to the tea shop.

Today, the tea shop is still closed.

Across the street, several sluts were squatting there sneakily, protruding their heads and brains, as if they were staring at them.

Zhou Tian didn't care, so he walked around to the back door of the tea shop.

Bang bang bang bang!

He knocked several times in a row.

After a while, the wooden door was opened.

Seeing that it was Zhou Tian, ​​the vigilance in An Niang's eyes disappeared for most of the time and she asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Tian winked at her: "This is not a place to speak."

"Come in."

After hesitating for a moment, An Niang opened the door and Zhou Tian immediately flashed in.

An Niang looked around and saw a rogue protruding her head towards her, and hurriedly closed the door.

The harassed by the Zheng and Xu family's servants in the hospital these days has been exhausted, and An Niang looks haggard at this moment. With those pairs of watery peach blossom eyes, I feel pity for me, which makes people unable to help but feel a desire to protect.

Han Er is such a blessing!

After a sad sentence in his heart, Zhou Tian lowered his voice and said, "I just met Han Er!"

"ah?!"

An Niang was startled at first, then hurriedly covered her mouth and said carelessly: "Is he okay now?"

"Okay, he is living his life as a master now."

When Zhou Tian thought of the tenants in Han Er's family eating better than him, he felt a little sad again.

"That's good."

An Niang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and turned to curiously: "Where does the master's life start?"

Zhou Tian explained: "He occupied Xiaowang Village and lived in Wang Yuanwai's house, with a maid and a chef. Now he has a relationship with County Magistrate Chang and lives a happy life."

"He...has he mentioned me?" An Niang said with a grievance, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Han Er asked me to hand you a message. If he believed him, his family would move to Xiaowang Village today, and he would send someone to help him."

Upon hearing this, An Niang said quietly: "This dead ghost finally has a little conscience."

"I'll leave first."

Zhou Tian dared not stay here for a long time, and it would be troublesome if he was hated by the Xu family and the Zheng family because of this.

"Thank you."

After sending Zhou Tian away, An Niang returned to the house.

Inside the room, a blind old woman hugged her grandson and said nervously: "Anime, who is here just now?"

"Zhou Tian."

An Niang replied absent-mindedly.

The blind old woman asked in confusion: "What is he here to do?"

"He's here to hand me a message..."

An Niang said what happened just now.

The old woman was shocked and hurriedly persuaded her: "The Han Erkun rebelled, and now he is a bandit. I am afraid that the government will go to suppress him in a few days. Don't be confused, you really go to join him."

She was blind but not blind, and she had long known the relationship between her daughter-in-law and Han Zhen.

It was just that I had to rely on Han Zhen’s help before, so I turned a blind eye.

But now that Han Zhen has become a bandit, how dare she defect to her?

"My mother is right, I don't agree."

At this time, a male voice came from inside.

Upon hearing this, An Niang said angrily: "So what can we do if we don't go? What should we eat and drink?"

The old woman said, "This...isn't Liu Dutou still helps you."

"Liu Du only helped him out for Erlang's sake, so how could he keep an eye on him all day long? As soon as he left, the servants came back to protect the yard. Now that the business is too difficult, he still has to pay the rent. Could it be that he is sitting at home and waiting to die?"

After An Niang finished speaking, there was no sound in the inner room.

The old woman was still hesitating and looked tangled.

Seeing this scene, An Niang continued, "Auntie, I know what you are worried about. If you really want to elope with him, why tell you that you just go to Xiaowang Village by yourself."

"An Niang, that's not what I meant." The old woman waved her hand to explain.

She was blind at home and couldn't do anything.

My son broke his waist again and could only lie on the bed all day long and could not move.

The whole family is supported by An Niang. If she really follows Han Zhen, their family will really starve to death.

"We can be hungry, we can't let Xiao Douzi go hungry with us, right? Follow him, we can always have a bite of food to pull Xiao Douzi up."

An Niang's words instantly hit the weakness of her mother-in-law and husband. Xiaodouzi is their lifeblood and also the hope that supports them to survive.

The old woman thought about it and said hesitantly: "Is it reliable?"

"It should be true, Erlang will not lie to me."

She still understands Han Zhen’s temperament, one is one, two is two.

If the situation is really difficult, Zhou Tian will definitely not be called to hand over.

Seeing that everything was said to be true, her mother-in-law and husband still had no decision, An Niang simply made up her mind: "If you don't go, stay. I will take Xiaodouzi and pull Xiaodouzi up later. It can be considered an explanation to your Li family."

"Don't say that, can't we go?"

The old woman suddenly panicked. Her daughter-in-law was very independent and did what she said.

There is nothing to clean up at home, only two thin beds, plus a few hundred yuan in wealth.

An Niang's husband couldn't walk, so he could only lay the bedding on a wooden cart and then towed it onto the cart with difficulty.

Soon, the back door of the tea shop was opened.

An Niang dragged the wooden cart out of the door, followed by her blind mother-in-law and five-year-old son.

The family left the East City Gate and walked along the Yellow Tu Road towards Xiaowang Village.
