The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

When he turned around, his mother was standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking at him worriedly. When she saw him looking at her, she immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Boss, are you okay? Did it hurt? Actually, the young master is not a bad person, he just has a bad temper."

Aunt Xue took her eldest son's arm and stood in the shade under the eaves, looking at the red mark on his shoulder left by the teapot.

Fortunately, Xue He had thick skin and muscles all over his body, so his skin was not broken by the heavy porcelain teapot.

"Mrs. You is a nice person. She didn't chase me away."

Xue He shook his head, a low voice coming out of his throat, his recent experiences made him look depressed.

Hearing this, Aunt Xue felt relieved and nodded quickly, agreeing:

"Yes, Madam is kind-hearted. She is a good person who allows us to work to pay off our debts..." Before she finished speaking, Aunt Xue was hesitant. She pulled Xue He from the east wing to the back kitchen courtyard of the ear room and whispered:

"The young master is the most annoying person. Others say he is stupid. You are not allowed to enter and leave the wing room at will. You must clean it carefully. Boss, you must be careful and don't forget."

"I remember," Xue He nodded in response.

"That's good, that's good. Now it's just the two of us... I won't say any more. I'm going to the kitchen to wash the vegetables."

Aunt Xue nodded repeatedly, rubbing the apron around her waist with her hands. Just as she was about to mention household matters, her voice trembled, fearing that she would cry again and not be able to stop, thus delaying her work. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her apron and turned into the kitchen.

Xue He knew that his weak-willed mother was not feeling good about the sudden misfortune, but this kind of thing needed to be borne alone, so he didn't say much.

He turned around silently, picked up the firewood beside him and chopped it. Thinking of everything that had happened before, Xue He sighed. He had never lamented that life was so difficult as he did at that moment.

Xue He used to make a living in the escort agency. When he left with the agency a few months ago, his family was still stable. Although his family was not rich, they had some savings from the rewards he earned from escorting goods with the agency.

However, it turned out that his younger brother Xue Hai was a troublemaker and scoundrel. He did some unknown things in the county town, but he ended up owing a lot of debts. After squandering all the family's wealth, he ran away with the little money they had.

When Xue's father learned about this, he was so angry that he fell ill. Even after selling the cattle, livestock, wardrobes and furnishings at home, it still couldn't make up for the shortfall. Because she was ill and needed money urgently, Aunt Xue went to the wealthy You family in the surrounding villages to borrow money.

Because of the kindness of having delivered the young master of the You family, the eldest lady had a kind heart. Seeing that Aunt Xue was in real difficulty, she lent her a lot of money.

However, despite spending a lot of money and seeing many doctors in the county, Xue's father's illness did not improve and he eventually died.

Aunt Xue was left without anyone to rely on, her youngest son was missing and her eldest son had not returned from a long journey, and she cried for a long time.

But the money owed cannot be taken for granted. Farmers are simple-minded, and Aunt Xue would never do such a thing as embezzling money from others and delaying the payment of money.

But she was not sure when Xue He would be able to return home, so she turned to Madam You for help, hoping to work to offset the debts first.

Although Mrs. You was not a bad person, she was not so kind that she would throw away money without thinking, so naturally she was unwilling to lose it.

Thinking that Aunt Xue had worked as a cook in a tavern in the county town for a while when she was young and that her cooking skills were indeed good, and that there were a few workers missing in the yard, he signed a contract with her as a long-term worker.

According to the money Aunt Xue owed, she was given a discount in the form of working days in the yard and signed a three-year long-term employment contract, with the caveat that if her eldest son came back and repaid the debt, the contract could be terminated early.

As for Xue He, although he was escorting the goods with a group of people, it was not going smoothly.

The goods were very valuable, and the owner of the goods was involved in factional struggles among court officials, which led to the goods being intercepted on the way. The entire escort agency was implicated and not only did they lose a lot of money, but they also failed to keep the escort agency in the end.

Although these delivery people were innocent, they were implicated in the end. Their hard work for several months went down the drain. Not only did they not get paid, they also lost their jobs.

When the business owners in the county heard the news, they were afraid of offending the powerful and were unwilling to hire them in the short term.

Xue He returned to Taoxi Village exhausted and learned the news of his father's death from the villagers. He also heard that his mother was working as a cook in Mr. You's house, so he went to look for her.

Naturally, he didn't want his mother to work hard, so he just said that he was working for his mother in You's house.

But the contract had already been signed, and Mrs. You was not stupid. If she destroyed the contract directly without any evidence, it was possible that the mother and son would run away overnight.

She just told Xue He to come and do the rough labor, and if he worked diligently for a full year, Aunt Xue's contract could be released early.

From then on, Xue He stayed in You's house with his mother to work and pay off the debt.

Inside the side room, the young master had stopped crying long ago. After being exempted from his homework, he was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, feeling relaxed, eating the egg custard brought to him by Aunt Xue.

There were a few drops of sesame oil on the egg custard, which was sweet and delicious with the sugar syrup. The young master ate it with great joy, and the traces of redness from crying at the corners of his eyes faded a lot.

[You Mu, You Mu...] Tiandao called softly in the young master's mind.

The young master put down the spoon and suddenly turned his head to look around, but did not see the source of the sound.

[It’s over, it’s over. Are you really stupid?] Tiandao poked his finger and looked at You Mu’s reaction, feeling more and more guilty.

God damn the law! It's such a pitfall!

"Who, speak?"

The silly young master was not very intelligent and his articulation was not very eloquent, but when he was calm he could barely string together words.

He was not afraid of the sudden sound, but was very curious and searched around.

[Shh! Shh! Keep your voice down, it’s me.] Seeing that You Mu was about to call for help, Tiandao was afraid that the situation would get out of hand and the plot would go awry, so he summoned the law to stop him immediately.

"Who?"

[It's me, have you forgotten? ]

"..." The young master was stunned for a second while holding the egg custard in his hand, as if considering the possibility that the egg custard in his hand could speak, and then in the next second he tilted his head and asked the egg custard:

"……you"

[Poof] So silly! Tiandao couldn't help laughing out loud, and suddenly felt that the silly Youmu was particularly interesting, more interesting than the villain!

[Wrong, that's not me]

[Ahem… Um, I, Tiandao, your father, forgot? ] It’s good that he forgot. This one is so well-behaved and obedient. He likes it!

After a moment of thought, Tiandao felt that he could finish it later and just enjoy himself first.

The young master raised his head and gradually moved his gaze from the custard to the spoon.

When Tiandao thought he was going to ask the spoon again, the young master suddenly put down the spoon and bowl, and lay down on the bed with his head raised.

Tiandao's familiar voice sounded:

[Hey, father-in-law, you finally agreed to this marriage? When did it happen? How come I didn't know about it? ]

Tiandao was strangely silent for a moment, avoided the topic, and suddenly turned his back in his spiritual consciousness. He jumped up and down madly and was deceived by You Mu again.

[…Ahhh! You lied to me again! You made me worry for a long time! ]

Then he hurriedly tried to clear his name with a clear conscience: [I swear to God, I really didn't hit you on purpose! It's all the law! You know!]

[Alright, let’s not pursue this for now. Give me the story of this world.]

【okay】
