C12 The Second Favor

Xu Yao smiled amiably and nodded. She then pointed behind them, "Okay, okay. But before that, you guys should first settle the trouble behind you guys."

Mrs. Zhang and the rest turned around and their expressions changed. They saw Governor standing not far away with an ashen face. His hand was grabbing a handful of beard that he had just pulled off the Heart Chariot.

"This... this..."

Beside him stood a man wearing a gorgeous moonlight brocade robe. His figure was slender and his face was handsome. Every frown and smile on his face was filled with endless dissolute air.

When he raised his head and looked over, Xu Yao was also looking over. Yan Jingyuan instantly hooked his lips and smiled. With this hook, Xu Yao's soul was almost hooked. She was so scared that she quickly lowered her head.

This was also the reason why she did not resist just now. Because she saw Governor and him from afar, she generously let them smash her. In that case, Governor will do whatever he wants later.

Yan Jingyuan slowly moved his gaze away and glanced at Governor indifferently. "Governor, how do you think I came to the small town under your jurisdiction and caused trouble again and again? Is it because you can't manage them, or are these people really not easy to manage? If Governor doesn't manage it well, I don't mind switching someone else to manage it."

Governor's sweat instantly fell like rain. He hurriedly wiped his sweat. "If you can manage them, you can manage them. This official will deal with them properly now. Please wait a moment, my lord!"

After he finished speaking, he took a few steps forward with Policeman. "You guys are really audacious. How dare you commit crimes on the streets?! Men, take these people down!"

"Master, we did not commit any crimes. We are innocent!" Mrs. Zhang started to cry like a pig being slaughtered.

Governor looked at the mess on the ground and was furious. "How dare you quibble! Then what do you guys think this place is?! What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and take it down and hit 20 big boards! "

"Sir! Sir!" At this time, Xu Yao stood out and squeezed out two drops of tears. She looked at Governor pitifully, "Master, please help us!" As she spoke, she knelt down without hesitation. When she kowtowed in pain, she bared her teeth and got up with a sorrowful look.

Governor used his hand to comfort him. "Don't worry. This Governor will make the decision for you and punish these people heavily!"

"But Governor, these things... We are single and widowed. We can use this to exchange for some food. Now that it's broken, we can resell it. We need a lot of money and we can't afford it anymore. "They're not giving us any chance of survival. How are we going to survive this? Governor!" Xu Yao's shrill cry echoed in the air. She knocked her head heavily on the ground.

Yan Jingyuan floated up like a ghost and blew in Governor's ear, "Tsk, Governor, there is actually a matter of bullying a lone mother and daughter in your town. It is truly a shocking thing. Those who hear it shed tears and those who hear it feel sad, sigh..."

The sweat on Governor's forehead flowed down like waves. It was wiped again and again, but it still kept flowing out. In just a moment, his body was wet as if he had just been fished out of the water.

"Your subordinate will handle it!" He bowed to Yan Jingyuan, then turned to Mrs. Zhang and the others. His expression suddenly turned cold. "For the sake of wealth, you bullied the people on the streets and almost forced this mother and daughter to death. I order you to pay thirty taels of silver as an apology. After that, follow me back to the prison to get the board!"

"Master!" Mrs. Zhang pretended to cry again.

Governor stared at her. "Who dares to be weird? Give me another thirty plates!"

Mrs. Zhang instantly did not dare to say anything. Her face was ashen as she knelt on the ground. She could only watch helplessly as her wife, Zhang Cuifen, took out 30 silver taels and handed it to Xu Yao. She felt her heart ache, silver...

After taking the silver, Xu Yao immediately broke into a smile. She kowtowed to Governor with gratitude, "Thank you, Governor, for making the decision for us mother and daughter!"

"Let's go." He had already walked forward. When he passed by Xu Yao, he curved the corner of his lips at her and said a few words silently.

Girl, you have to remember my kindness once again.

Looking at the group of people getting further and further away, especially the one at the front. She frowned again. This person had to emphasize it every time. What did he mean?

Although today was a little dangerous, in the end, she still earned it. Thirty taels of silver, buying those artifacts would at most cost one tael of silver. It was a loss. Her acting was just good, fully displaying her and her mother's pity!

One tael of silver was a thousand copper coins. If she sold it for a day, it would be at most three hundred coppers. If she cried like this, she would earn tens of thousands of copper coins. Xu Yao was very happy in her heart.

"Mother! Look at how much money we earned today. Why don't we go and eat something delicious tonight?"

Mrs. Xu solemnly used a few pieces of handkerchief to wrap the silver three layers inside and three layers outside, "What delicious food do you want to eat? Just a casual meal. It's just a few taels of silver. If we want to save money, we'll have to renovate the house and build a cow pen? "

Xu Yao only just remembered that there was still such a serious matter. She instantly dispelled her greedy thoughts. The mother and daughter tidied up the tools that could still be used and went to find someone to prepare to renovate the house.

All kinds of materials and labor fees, the house was renovated. With the toilet and kitchen, Xu Yao no longer needed to run to the toilet in the mountains and grass to go to the toilet. The cow pen had also been renovated, but it cost them fifteen taels of silver. Afterwards, she bought some daily necessities and Mrs. Xu also bought two sets of clothes for her. She only had twelve taels of silver left in her hands.

Mrs. Xu felt her heart ache as she muttered, "Spending money like running water. I used so much in the blink of an eye."

"Money is used to earn money. Furthermore, we did not do anything. We used everything we had. Mother, don't be sad. We'll just fight for it later! " Xu Yao quickly comforted her mother.

Because of the renovation of the house, it took them more than ten days. After they had rested, they went back to the street to continue selling water.

"Sprite Sprite. It's delicious and heat-relieving. Everyone, come and have a taste. Two cups for one copper coin. It's cheap and delicious!"

Xu Yao and her mother were walking with their heads down when they suddenly heard a shout in their ears. They instantly stopped in their tracks and looked up. They saw that there was already a person standing at the place where they originally set up their stall. Moreover, it was the same thing as what they were selling!

The most important thing was that the person selling the stall was actually Mrs. Zhang! The person who was beaten up twenty times should have been lying down and living, but at this moment, he was standing there energetically and selling their things!

Xu Yao could not control herself at that time and went forward angrily, "Mrs. Zhang, why are you standing here and selling our things!"
