Rouge wrong

Chapter 17

Shen Cuo hasn't seen Erya's stepmother yet, but when he heard this arrogant and vulgar voice, he immediately felt a little displeased.

The woman outside the door came in while yelling, Shen Cuo frowned and showed impatience, while Erya was already panicked.

"Auntie..."

Mrs. Liu was used to bossing around Erya, and she didn't even think about restraining herself in front of Shen Cuo, and mocked: "Oh, you still know that there is a mother like me? Which decent family's daughter won't go home for a few days, you just Do you want to lose face to our old Wang family?"

Er Ya bit her lip and did not dare to refute, Shen Cuo slowly stood up.Her tall figure, which is much higher than that of ordinary women, can create a great sense of oppression when standing up, and her expressionless appearance is even more calm and prestige.

"What do you mean? You mean my grocery store is not a decent place?"

Shen Cuo's voice was cold, but his heart was already full of anger.

This mean and vulgar village woman not only acted wildly in front of her, but also ignored her, what audacity!

What do you mean if a daughter of a serious family doesn't come home for a few days, she will lose face?Isn't her Shen Cuo's house better than Wang Tiezhu's dilapidated house?Everyone knows where to live is more comfortable.

Mrs. Liu looked at Shen wrongly, and immediately changed her expression, flatteringly said: "Oh, what is shopkeeper Shen talking about? I scolded this ignorant daughter, and it has nothing to do with you."

Liu's ability to not suffer a bit after following Wang Tiezhu is definitely a talent.

For a young lady like Shen Cuo, she was jealous, but she looked down on her in her heart.

In her opinion, this kind of lady who is ignorant of the world will be confused if she just swindles a few words casually.

She had never had such close contact with Shen Cuo before, she only heard about it from some villagers, and she took it for granted that the other party was just a lady from a rich family.

However, Shen Cuo didn't like this set the most, and he didn't entangle her with these fallacies at all, so he slapped his palm on the counter.

"I don't care what you do. Erya is my buddy. If necessary, I need to eat and live in a grocery store. I signed a contract at the beginning. What do you need to talk about here? Say something more, believe it or not, I will send it to you." Go see the officer!"

This kind of deterrence is of no use to scholars, but it is most useful to country women like Xu.

After hearing the deed and meeting the official, she was already dazed, and when she saw Shen Cuo's handprint on the counter with his light palm, her legs became weak immediately.

There are two extremely differentiated existences between martial arts people and civilians, especially in the south. There are only legends about these chivalrous men, and few people can really see them.

And the more this is the case, the more these green forest people with high martial arts skills are said to be miraculous, as if they are not mortals.

Liu's courage was almost frightened.

She didn't believe that the villagers said that Shen Cuo knew martial arts before, she just thought that this group of uneducated people who had never seen rich and noble families were exaggerating, but she didn't expect it to be so.

"Shen, shopkeeper Shen, I... I didn't know before, since, since this is set by the contract, it is reasonable."

"Then why don't you let me go?"

Although Liu was afraid, she was still thinking about Erya's monthly money in her heart, so she bit the bullet and said, "This...Although Erya lives and eats with you, she is my daughter after all, and she didn't sell herself to you.

You see... when can she go home to see me, and how will the monthly money be calculated now? "

The Wang family's fields have been sold off, and everything worth a little money has been pawned. The only property left is a few dilapidated houses of the family.

After selling Wang Daya, Mrs. Liu also sold the few things left in the family. After more than half a year, she gradually squandered it. Last time, she suddenly got a hundred dollars. Zhiwei began to think about Erya's monthly money.

Shen Cuo knew what she was thinking just by looking at Liu's face. Although it was Wang Tiezhu who beat someone last time, according to Huzi, this stepmother also robbed Erya's money.Shen Cuo already hated her so much, this time seeing the real person was even more furious.

In the past, she never refused to rub the sand in her eyes, so every time she went out, she always caused some troubles, and the things she went through were often turbulent, which became an excuse for being attacked by righteous people.

Her mother restrained her for more than half a year, and then let her out to practice, in order to make her change her temper.

Shen Cuo felt that he had restrained a lot, but he still felt unbearable at many times.

"I signed the contract with Erya, and I also gave Erya the monthly money. What do I need to explain to you? I will handle everything according to the contract. If you refuse to accept it, we can go to see the officials."

The new emperor has implemented the legal system for ten years, but the Yan Dynasty is still in the stage where the law does not go to the countryside. Some trivial matters in the village are basically mediated by the village head, and they will not go to the government office unless it is absolutely necessary.

Shen Cuo kept his mouth shut and wanted to meet the officials. In Liu's eyes, how could officials and businessmen not collude?Naturally, he didn't dare to promise, so he could only leave in despair in the end.

Er Ya let out a little breath, but her face was not relaxed, and Shen Cuo was so angry that her face was still very bad.

"Shopkeeper Shen, thank you."

"Thank you? Your stepmother is really annoying. I should scare her again."

Shen Cai seldom used to be quick-tongued. When decent people scolded her, she would immediately kill her back.

It's just that in the face of these ignorant villagers now, we have to adopt another method-is this what the mother said about experience and growth?

Erya was silent for a while, and suddenly asked softly: "Shopkeeper Shen, can I, can I ask... what was written in the contract we signed back then?"

Shen Cuo frowned, showing an expression of interest.

"Why, you want to know?"

Being watched by her like this, Erya felt that her thoughts had been seen through, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

She knew that shopkeeper Shen was a good person, but... but the feeling of not being able to know and control her own destiny was really uncomfortable.

Shopkeeper Shen once asked her to use such words to dismiss her father, and now she also uses the same words to dismiss her mother. Will she use the same words to dismiss her in the future?

Erya once thought that shopkeeper Shen was either rich or expensive, and everyone should be afraid of her.However, after experiencing what happened to the scholar in the town, she gradually began to understand things.

Even someone like shopkeeper Shen didn't have any worries. When facing Xu Xiucai, she obviously hesitated.

But when facing her father and stepmother, shopkeeper Shen didn't even bother to change his words, and sent them away in a very perfunctory manner-according to shopkeeper Shen, it was just a scare.

Becoming a scholar is just the first step to becoming an official. Many people can't make progress throughout their lives, but they can still be respected by others. The direct reason is that they have fame.

However, the fundamental reason is that they are knowledgeable, able to speak and write, which makes people afraid.

Taking a step back, if her parents were literate, they wouldn't be easily intimidated by Shen Cuo, and Erya felt a sense of crisis from the perspective of others and herself.

Although my elder sister wanted to teach her how to read and write in the past, she didn't have much spare time to provide food and clothing for the third sibling.

But now, she very strongly hopes that she can recognize more characters and learn more knowledge.

It's not to get respect from others like grandpa, but to make people afraid when they want to bully her.

Erya didn't want to be betrayed by her father, let alone become an ignorant person like her father.
