A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

"Who told you that?"

There was no need for Wen Meijiu to move forward. When Cheng Lu heard this unprecedented news, he rushed to the opposite side of Wen Meijiu like an arrow, grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

"It's gone, it's gone."

Finally Cheng Lu started to get anxious, and Wen Meijiu chuckled in his heart.

There was a hint of anger in his melancholy face, and he said something else:

"Brother Cheng, tell me, those who work hard have nothing to eat, while those who do nothing have food in their hands. How can we feel comfortable with this?"

"That's not what I asked you to say. Tell me, where did you hear that from?"

Cheng Lu's eyes almost popped out. If this was true, it would soon reach the ears of the county magistrate. By that time, it would be too late for him to make amends.

"Oh, I, I seem to have heard someone passing by say that when I was going out.

Yes, that’s right, a passerby said it.

I was very anxious at that time and said, my brother works for the government and has nothing to eat, how can a beggar have food to eat?

Who knows that person, who knows that person actually... "

Wen Meijiu seemed to have forgotten something. He was halfway through his words when his hands kept scratching the back of his head.

The county magistrate's food was lost, and so soon the beggars on the street had food in their hands. Anyone would connect these two things.

"Think about it, think carefully, what did he say?"

Cheng Lu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. His face was almost reaching into Wen Meijiu's eyes. He stood in front of her and kept urging her.

"He actually said that the government is nothing, and that food is everything these days.

This made me very angry, so I came here angrily, hoping that my brother would get some food for the family to teach that man a lesson, so that he would not take the government seriously. "

Wen Meijiu emphasized the word "official" on purpose, saying it for Cheng Lu to hear.

Cheng Lu felt uncomfortable being stared at by Wen Meijiu, so he looked away and said:

"I thought he said something, but that's all he said."

Wen Meijiu said "Ah" and asked in surprise:

"Nowadays, people don't take the government seriously. Isn't this serious?

Brother Cheng, you and my brother are both from the government. As a family member of the government, I cannot bring shame to the government. I must meet my brother today and get some food."

Her resolute look reminded Cheng Lu of the times she had come to ask for the jade pendant again and again. With such a stubborn person, Cheng Lu believed that she could definitely do what she said.

"Go back. Even if your brother is here, he can't help you get food."

Compared to Wen Meijiu's persistence, Zhang Can couldn't stand the "crazy" way she spoke.

Even if her family starved to death, what did it have to do with the government's reputation? Who would care about the face she mentioned?

It turned out that Cheng Lu was willing to talk to her in a friendly tone simply because he heard her mention "food".

After listening to her for a while, he felt that her words were unreliable and he didn't want to listen anymore. He was very annoyed.

Without even wanting to look at her any longer, Cheng Lu turned around to leave, waved impatiently at Wen Meijiu behind him, and quickly retreated.

Listening to her say one more word is a waste of time and life.

Wen Meijiu blinked twice. She had said so much, but this guy still didn't understand and didn't even let anyone find out the source of the beggar's food.

If he doesn't understand, then she can only tell him herself.

How can I stop him immediately and tell him directly without arousing suspicion?

Wen Meijiu exerted force with his hands and grabbed Cheng Lu's ear from behind, with a look of humiliation and anger on his face.

The soldiers standing not far away were instantly panicked, but it was only for a moment, and everyone soon calmed down.

They felt sorry for their boss having his ears grabbed, but no one dared to move. After all, she was a woman, and the relationship between her and their boss was unclear, so it was not easy for them to interfere.

Wen Meijiu had thought of this a long time ago. When he was about to get angry, she deliberately moved closer to his ear and lowered her voice:

"Don't think I don't know. It was you who caused my brother to be captured by the bandits."

Cheng Lu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that she knew so much.

Considering that Zhang Can's accident happened just moments after Zhang Jia left the house, it's possible that she saw them.

"Brother Cheng, don't blame me for not telling you the truth, I was just testing your attitude towards my brother.

The passerby said that the food in the beggar's hands was distributed by the bandits.

My brother is in charge of transporting food. Bandits get food by robbing. How can he give food to so many beggars? Unless he robs all the food here.

I mentioned my brother to you time and again, but you always avoided the main point. This means that my brother was also kidnapped, right?"

After being exposed, Cheng Lu felt guilty and had to stammer to explain to Wen Meijiu:

"Your brother was kidnapped by bandits, and the food here was indeed robbed, but don't make it public. I will definitely rescue your brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck. Wen Meijiu's dagger was placed on his neck. Only two people knew about it, and the soldiers who were a little further away could not see it.

"Tell me, if you don't bring anyone to rescue my brother, do you want him to die?"

Cheng Lu himself has no real skills and relies entirely on nepotism. At this time, Wen Meijiu, who has a stronger hand, grabbed his ear and wouldn't let go. He struggled twice but failed to break free and finally gave up.

Giving up struggling does not mean that Cheng Lu has given up the desire to survive.

From the outside, it seemed that Cheng Lu was being held by Wen Meijiu with his head tilted, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"No, Jiajia, listen to what Brother Cheng said to you, I definitely don't mean to not care about your brother.

I also captured the bandit leader's younger brother, thinking that when the bandit leader comes, I will use him to exchange for your brother.

What I said is true, absolutely not a lie."

Under coercion, Wen Meijiu finally heard the news about Xiaoshu. He felt relieved and slowly let go of Cheng Lu's ear, but the dagger did not move.

"Okay, then you hand him over to me, and I'll take him to exchange for my brother now."

Although Cheng Lu was afraid that the dagger in Wen Meijiu's hand would hurt him, he did not think that Wen Meijiu would dare to hurt him subjectively.

After his ears were freed and Cheng Lu regained his normal posture, the pressure on his heart was relieved a lot.

"Sister, be patient, you can't do this.

There were at least a thousand bandits, otherwise they would not have emptied out all the food in the house so quickly.

You're the only one taking the bandit's brother to meet people. Not to mention your family, even I'm worried!

Listen to Brother Cheng, go home and wait, Brother Cheng promises that he will bring your brother back safe and sound."

She could tell that he would not easily hand over the little tree to Wen Meijiu, so she could only think of another way.

Under her long eyelashes, her eyes rolled and Wen Meijiu had a new idea.

"Brother Cheng, don't think I'm being harsh. You didn't even think about rescuing my brother. You wanted to use him to get back the food that was stolen, right?"
