Jia Qiang is going to find Uncle Sheng.

He is still young now, and he can't support the business on his own, so naturally he has to find a capable and reliable person to take care of it.After Li Jia's mansion was raided in the previous life, many friends in the business field cut off contact with him, for fear of being implicated.Talking about helping, even refused to do business, which caused Jia Qiang a lot of losses.If it weren't for this, he would definitely not be reduced to the point where he was used as a garment to help the masters of the Jia family.

Only Uncle Sheng was one of the very few old friends who was willing to take care of him during those days.Moreover, Uncle Sheng is honest, reliable and has business acumen, he is a trustworthy person.

Jia Qiang thought in her heart, fortunately, she had talked with Uncle Sheng when she had nothing to do in her previous life, and knew the reason why he was employed by the boss, otherwise she really didn't know where to find someone now.

From the tidy and clean Xiwai City all the way to the north, the streets are getting narrower and messier, the buildings on both sides are getting more and more dilapidated, and even the people passing by are wearing ragged clothes and overlapping patches.Some people are dull and dull, with a tired look, but more people have fierce eyes, which are not good at first glance.

Fortunately, Jia Qiang had the foresight. When she came, she changed into an unremarkable gray robe, pulled out her neat hair, and blocked her face with her bangs.Otherwise, with his appearance, someone might snatch it and sell it to someone else.

Coming to this place where the poor gather again, the poorest place in Beijing, Jia Qiang has long since lost the fear and anxiety she felt when she came to ask for help in her previous life, and instead she feels a little nostalgic.

Turning around the dilapidated alleys, he even had the leisure to think that the ladies of the Rong Mansion got the gadgets that Baoyu bought from the market, and they were quite yearning to go outside the mansion, wishing they could go out for a stroll in person.If they knew that apart from simple and unsophisticated toys, there were more dirty places like this outside the mansion, they would probably faint from fright.

After finding the alley that Uncle Sheng mentioned in his memory, Jia Qiang walked back and forth twice, but he still couldn't find Uncle Sheng's house, so he went to the cake shop at the entrance of the alley to inquire.I asked twice in a row, but the boss who was working as an oven and making cakes just pretended not to hear.Jia Qiang rolled her eyes, and counted ten copper coins to him: "Boss, I want a cake."

Cooking cakes cost only five cents a piece. Now, the boss heard it, and immediately said with a happy smile: "Jin Sheng's house is about fifty steps ahead, and the one with a locust tree in the yard is the one. You are a relative and nephew of his family." Hurry up and persuade him to move when you see him, since he moved into this ghost-inviting yard the year before last, his luck has not been easy."

The locust tree is known as the beckoning of ghosts, and it will never be planted in ordinary people's yards.Jia Qiang remembered that Uncle Sheng said that when he was down and out, he happened to see a yard that was [-]% lower than the market price.Because there was a very thick pagoda tree in the yard, and the place was too small, the owner dared not cut it down, fearing that it would overwhelm the house, so the price was very cheap, and the shy Uncle Sheng bought it regardless of the shyness.If it wasn't for the boss, Jia Qiang didn't think of this for a while, so she couldn't find it.

Jia Qiang took the pancakes and was about to leave, but when she heard something in the boss's words, she couldn't help standing still: "I'm not a junior to persuade the elders, so I ask the boss to tell me, why is my uncle's luck so bad?"

The boss said: "You are so heartless, you don't even know about your uncle's family? Don't talk about anything else, just talk about this recent incident: Although your uncle lost his father a long time ago and his family is in decline, he still has a son. Stepmother, because people thought she was clumsy and aggressive, she never remarried, and gnawed at your uncle all day long. Now, I was bluffed by a charlatan, yelling every day that it hurts here and there, and I want to eat ginseng and deer antler to make up for it. Where can you buy it at your uncle's house? Want these medicines? She jumped on her feet and sold your uncle's only daughter, saying that the girl lost money and was useless when she grew up. It would be better to give her, a grandmother, the money for the medicine, which is also a filial piety. We Neighbors are sorry for your uncle, an honest person has such a stepmother, but this dynasty values ​​filial piety, and it can't be ignored, needless to say, this life can only be dragged down and make the house restless."

After hearing this, Jia Qiang couldn't help being stunned.In the past, he only heard Uncle Sheng casually say that money was urgently needed because of family affairs, so relying on what his father who was a businessman taught him in the years when his family was still good, he signed a death contract with the owner of the pawn shop, almost sold himself into slavery, Do it for the owner until he dies of old age.Little did they know that Uncle Sheng did this for the sake of his careless stepmother.

Uncle Sheng is an honest man. Once he has made an agreement with his boss, he will do things wholeheartedly.But Jia Qiang vaguely heard that the boss squeezed him so much that he was sent two or three people on errands, which made him often not even have time to go home.

Originally, Jia Qiang just wanted to hire Uncle Sheng to do things for her, but now that she knew about it, she was determined to solve this trouble for Uncle Sheng.

However, the word filial piety in this dynasty is more important than the sky, and even the parents of the court officials suffered from dementia, and they scolded their sons at home all day, so they were dismissed from office.What should I do to earn Uncle Sheng's reputation and solve the trouble?

While thinking, Jia Qiang slowly approached the yard with locust trees.Through the fence with peeling walls and loose masonry, it was easy to hear the voices inside.

"You rebellious son, you refuse to treat me, do you want me to die early? I know, you think I am your stepmother and treat you badly, so you wish I would die early. You are so wicked Xin, I will go to the Yamen to appeal for grievances, and tell all the things you have treated me so harshly over the years, and let the officials judge and judge!"

"Mother, calm down, my son didn't say he wouldn't treat your illness. But you have always been in good health. It seems a bit inappropriate to buy such precious medicinal materials based on the words of a wandering doctor. Why don't you go to a well-known medical center in central Beijing to check your pulse?" , and be more stable."

"You still say you won't cure me! If you don't give me medicine, you want me to die! If you don't get me medicine back, I'll sue you for unfilial piety today! Let's see if the magistrate will sentence you to exile!"

"This... Mother, you know the situation at home. Where can I buy those ginseng antlers and cordyceps? Mother, please be considerate of your son, and go to the hospital for a follow-up consultation before—"

"Shut up! Don't make excuses! Why don't you have any money? This little girl is worried about having no money once she takes the film out? You just want to drive me to death! So I can save my money and save money for this loser's dowry!"

"Mother……"

…………

There was a lot of noise in the courtyard, and a group of older women and daughters-in-law with knotted shoe soles outside the courtyard shook their heads at the base of the wall: "The stepmother of the Jin family raised her like a Buddha, it's so unreasonable, she's going to have to wait every now and then. There was a commotion. The reason why she had to force her stepson to sell her granddaughter this time was because she had no intention of hearing from her daughter-in-law that she needed to find more work and save a good dowry for the girl. It was because she couldn’t bear it that she made a fuss."

"She just wants her son and daughter-in-law to spend all the money on herself. She doesn't know how to accumulate virtue, it's too sinful."

"Hey, I work every day to subsidize the family for my son and wife. They treat me worse than Jin Sheng treats his mother. How can such a wicked woman raise such a filial son?"

"Most of the filial sons have unreasonable parents. If you look at the models in 24 filial piety, the parents are so weird that they don't treat their children as human beings."

…………

The walls of the courtyard are extremely thin, the noise inside can be heard outside the walls, and the discussions outside can naturally be heard inside the walls.Mother Jin had a very thick skin, she just ignored those words, and still shouted at the top of her voice: "I won't be able to take this disease for a moment! Even today, you either sell this girl, or I go to the yamen to find the official!" "

The daughter of the Jin family was so frightened that she hugged her mother and cried together. Jin Sheng was full of anger and didn't know how to persuade the stepmother who didn't want to eat, so he was just in a hurry.

During the stalemate, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and then a clear and pleasant youthful voice came out.

"I will pay for the medicine, but I not only want your granddaughter, but also your son and daughter-in-law!"
