Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but think about his face in his mind. Did she look like a fool?

Unexpectedly, the village chief frowned and sighed, "That's right. Once you leave, life will be difficult for Da Zhuang and the others."

Zhao Hanzhang blinked, is this really a child?

Fu Tinghan asked, "Didn't you say you were alone?"

The child is not Wu Erlang's. Since he is Erlang, he naturally has a Dalang.

Wu Dalang had three children, and the brothers had separated. Last year, Wu Dalang was killed by deserters who rushed into the village while protecting his family's belongings, leaving him with three children.

Soon, Da Zhuang stood in front of Zhao Hanzhang with his younger brothers and sisters. The three children were in ragged clothes, their faces were clean, but their hands were full of mud. Before they came, they were digging grass roots in the field.

The three of them sniffed, glanced at Wu Erlang helplessly, and then looked at Zhao Hanzhang with his innocent eyes.

Not to mention Zhao Hanzhang, even Fu Tinghan on the side softened his heart and couldn't help but whisper: "How about we all stay?"

Zhao Hanzhang didn't mind, but he said, "Do you know what it means to follow me?"

Wu Erlang immediately pulled his three nephews and nieces to kneel down, and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "We are willing to be slaves, maids, cattle or horses, as long as the noble man is willing to give us a bite of food."

The villagers who came to watch in the yard immediately followed, "We are willing too, we are willing too."

Everyone looked at Zhao Hanzhang with bright eyes and said one after another: "We don't want money for selling ourselves, we just need to eat and be able to do what we want."

Everyone wanted to sell themselves to Zhao Hanzhang as a slave.

Although I don't know who she is, she can bring so many followers, and all of them have horses, so she looks very wealthy at first glance.

However, Zhao Hanzhang was not happy at all, and his face was a little solemn.

But it was only for a short while. She quickly laughed, rejected most of them, and reassured: "As far as I know, Runan County has a new county magistrate, and it is Magistrate Zhao of Xiping County. She will definitely not I will just sit back and watch you suffer, so why not wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turn for the better."

She said: "If you want to be a good citizen, it is better to be a good citizen. Don't sell yourself easily."

In the end, Zhao Hanzhang only left four uncles and nephews Wu Erlang.

Everyone was envious and went to see Wu Erlang enviously.

Wu Erlang was also happy, but he was always a little uneasy in his heart. He had lied to Zhao Hanzhang, and she also knew that he had lied to her. Why did she still choose him instead of others?

There is always a worry that if I sell myself to her, I will be tortured by her at will.

Wu Erlang's expression changed. When he saw Zhao Hanzhang looking over, he gave her a flattering smile and unconsciously moved to Fu Tinghan's side. He explained his previous behavior, "Lang Jun, I lied to you before that I had parents, wives and children. I was afraid that You think my nephews and nieces are not close enough to me and are not willing to give me more sesame seeds."

Wu Erlang swore, "I gave the cakes you gave me to my nieces and nephews to eat. If you don't believe me, ask them."

Da Zhuang on the side nodded repeatedly and emphasized on his uncle's behalf: "Second uncle left most of the cake for us, and he didn't even eat a bite!"

Wu Erlang:......

Fu Tinghan was embarrassed for him.

Zhao Hanzhang burst into laughter and said to Wu Erlang: "We will only stay for one night and will go to the county town tomorrow. You go back and pack your things now and make arrangements at home."

Seeing that she didn't look annoyed, Wu Erlang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.

The village chief also treated her better because she rejected the self-promotion of most villagers.

Nowadays, people are worthless. If you want slaves, you don't have to ask for money and people to buy them. You can buy many people just by setting up a table on the road, as long as you can get money and food.

Although everyone sold themselves to survive, selling oneself also meant that one would live or die with them. If Zhao Hanzhang agreed and took them all in, not to mention the village chief, even Wu Erlang, who sold himself, would be frightened.

But she selectively rejected most people. Not only could Wu Erlang follow her with confidence, but the village chief could also recommend more people to her with confidence.

"My lord, Dazhu is actually very hard-working. He is a good farmer. You won't lose money if you buy him." He added, "Three dogs are good, he works hard and is honest."

That's why Zhao Hanzhang didn't accept them. It was best for such people to stay in the fields and cultivate.

And someone as slippery and cunning as Wu Erlang should be taken away by her and put somewhere else.

After one night, Zhao Hanzhang got to know the village chief and his family a lot. From the village chief, she had a general understanding of the village. Oh, she also knew a lot about Wu Erlang's limited life.

After all, she bought the four uncles and nephews of Wu Erlang. In order for her to use them with confidence, and also for Wu Erlang's good, the village chief said a lot of good things to Wu Erlang while they stayed overnight.

Wu Erlang is nineteen this year. It is not surprising that Zhao Hanzhang mistook him for an old man at first, because his face is more mature, and because of poverty, he has never been able to marry a wife.

Zhao Hanzhang could actually feel that the village chief didn't like Wu Erlang very much because this boy was cunning and cunning. He had bean fields and rice at his own home, and his brother's family also planted several acres, but he took his three nephews and nieces with him when he was hungry. We don’t talk about harvesting our own young crops, but we go to harvest other people’s crops.

But the village chief suppressed his displeasure and recommended to Zhao Hanzhang: "This boy is smart. If you have something to do, just let him do it."

The village chief paused and then said: "He is also kind. Alas, as you can see, he is nineteen and his nephew is eight years old, so there is a big age difference between him and Wu Dalang."

"When Wu Dalang got married, he spent all his family savings. Less than two years after his wife came into the house, Wu Erlang was separated in a hurry before he turned thirteen. The two brothers were rarely together. But after Wu Dalang's death, he still I raised three nieces and nephews.”

The village chief sighed: "From last year to now, for more than half a year, the three children have been raised by him."

Magistrate Gao's face turned red. He felt that it was not good for Zhao Hanzhang to hear such an example of brotherly disunity, so he asked, "Is it because the uncle and sister-in-law were at odds with each other that the family was separated?"

The village chief looked at Magistrate Gao strangely. He was just the village chief of this small village, not an upright person, so he didn't recognize Magistrate Gao. He felt that this man was not a good person, and he made malicious assumptions about others for no reason, "Zhou The Zhou family is very good. When the family was separated, it was the Zhou family who opened the door, and Wu Erlang was allocated a few acres of land. It was she who maintained it, and Wu Dalang took care of Wu Erlang, otherwise the two brothers would have become enemies long ago. "

He paused and then said: "Wu Erlang takes care of his three nephews and nieces so much, which is due to their blood relationship, but more importantly, it should be to repay the Zhou family."

Magistrate Gao's face turned even redder.

Zhao Hanzhang did not think that this was a matter of education for him as the county magistrate, but asked with interest: "What about the Zhou family?"
