Lu Wen left, and the Shen family didn't stay on the street for people to continue watching.

Upon hearing this, Wei Lanxiang began to chant Buddha: "Amitabha, isn't it? Thanks God we didn't marry him back."

Lu Gu walked behind and didn't dare to speak, Shen Yan was next to him, and she stopped smiling when she saw Lu Wen just now, and she still glared at Lu Wen like that, this man was good-looking , but the heart was really bad.

Just now Ji Qiuyue was so angry that she didn't care about her superiors. Now that she found Lu Wen's words, she was a country woman after all, so she asked worriedly: "Mother, is there anything wrong?"

Wei Lanxiang was still thinking, and Shen Xuanqing spoke first, he said: "It's okay, leave it to me, you don't care, just live as usual, these few days I'm in the town to manage things."

He spoke quite reliably, without the slightest worry, which made Ji Qiuyue's heart dropped back all of a sudden to her stomach, nodded in response.

Shen Yaoqing agreed with her to show his determination, which made his mother happy anyway.

Speaking of which, the Shen family really had a marriage contract in their hands. It was a private contract, not an official. This was done according to Qingxi Village's customary rules. The private contract only needed to invite a matchmaker and a prestigious elder who could read and write. It was not easy for rural people to get married. Once the marriage contract was written and married, they would live together.

When Wei Lanxiang got married, it was a private marriage contract, and Ji Qiuyue too. It could be said that every family in Qingxi Village was like this, and other villages were also like this. Besides, before the Lu family showed their fox tails, how could they had thought that they wouldn't marry, so Even if Shen Xuanqing had studied, because of this vulgar agreement, he never thought about the government at all when he got engaged.

At the beginning, Shen Xuanqing didn't make a fuss with the government, but then Shen Xuanqing knew that the members of the Li family had a good relationship with the county magistrate. The people in the village were not very familiar with the law. It would be fine if the county magistrate reasonable and lawabiding, but if he did something to help the Li family, he wouldn't be able to fight with his mud legs, and he would also implicate the family. After seeing the face of the Lu family, he was unwilling to get involved with them again.

As for Lu Gu, Shen Xuanqing said that when he bought him, he had no time to speak plain words, and asked Bao Zhiru and several people in Anjia Village to testify. He pressed his finger without knowing it, in order to prevent the Lu family members from making troubles one day, so they could have a slave contract to talk about.

"I said who is it, it's you, come in quickly." Luo Biao greeted him, caught the wine jar Shen Xuanqing threw towards him with both hands, opened and smelled it, then smiled, he said: "This is good wine."

Shen Xuanqing also carried an oil paper bag in his hand, opened it turned out to be a roast chicken, Luo Biao rolled up the bedding, moved the table in the middleof the kang, and the two sat on the kang to eat and drink.

The strong wine was spicy, Luo Biao took a sip, put down the wine cup, shook his head and sighed, "Good wine!"

He asked Shen Xuanqing how his family was and how his business was, and while drinking, he said a few gossip, After four or five cups wine and meat he was full of joy, Luo Biao said: "Second Brother Shen, if you had anything to say, just ask, brother will never refuse." He couldn't even eat, his mother was dying of illness, his father died and he couldn't even buy a coffin, and he dug a hole with the broken mat and buried him. He took his old mother and knelt on the street to sell himself to save his mother, but the treatment would cost a lot of money, except for the rich and benevolent people, who wanted to buy a long-term handyman and brought back a sick burden.

Shen Xuanqing passed by when he came to the town to work as a coolie. Seeing that his old mother was dying and screaming hungry, he stopped and hesitated, he gave Luo Biao two cold steamed buns in his arms. This was the ration that Wei Lanxiang brought for him for a day.

He gave it and was about to leave. Luo Biao stopped him and asked his name. He shook his head and didn't say much. Luo Biao turned around and broke a piece of cold steamed buns to feed his old mother. Shen Xuanqing didn't see why he carried his old mother on his back to bury her. He had to catch up with the merchants when he went to work to carry the big bags.

Hearing this, Shen Xuanqing was not polite to him, and said: "Do you still remember Li Mingshan I asked you to inquire about?"

Luo Biao thought about it for a while before saying: "It's that grandson, I saw him in the building a few days ago, Don't look at him like a man on the outside, his eyes when he is staring at the girl in the building are straight, but his old lady was so strict that he can only sneak around if he is greedy, and dare not come here often, you haven't seen his dirty face, as soon as he enters the room, he take off his pants and arch to them, and his legs tremble when he is in a hurry, and sister Yao laughed behind his back."
