Chapter 566: The Little Brat Found a Backer

to battle. 。But then again, I also feel that Qingmei is also fated to be bullied. Rather than avoiding it, it's better to face it head-on, so I'm quite conflicted. 。"Yán'er, can you understand what I...He turned back and beckoned to the child, "Come on, let's go see your second uncle." 。Your father was buried today, but I just walked back and didn't see a funeral procession leaving the city. Perhaps they left through another gate. 。Let's go home first. If you left from somewhere else, I'll ride fast to catch up with you. 。“ Tiger followed him, quickening his pace but also saying as he walked: “It shouldn't be another city gate. After all, the one we just passed is the closest to Uncle Two's house." 。To hire a horse-drawn carriage to transport the coffin costs more the farther you travel. He didn't want to spend that much money. 。I heard that funeral processions usually leave very early. Last year, my neighbor's mother-in-law passed away, and the family sent her out of town before dawn. 。It's just that my uncle and aunt shouldn't be this early. Yesterday, I heard them say they would sleep until whenever they wanted to, it's not a big deal, there's no need to wake up so early. 。“ Quan Qinghua didn't say anything, just pulled him and quickened their pace. ” 。

When the two finally stood at the door of the house, they saw several people struggling to carry a coffin out. As they walked, they said, "If the road is far, you should still hire a carriage! We can help carry the coffin outside the city, but we can't go any further." 。Although the coffin is thin, as the saying goes, "death is heavy", referring to the weight of the deceased. 。After death, things are heavier than when we were alive. It's so tiring to just keep carrying on like this. 。“

The second aunt following behind wasn't pleased to hear this, "A carriage has a carriage price, and manpower has a man’s price. If I could afford a carriage, would I need to call on you The burial ground is less than five miles outside the city. If you can carry it, I'll give you another half tael of silver. If you can't, put the coffin down now and I'll go hire someone else." 。Those at the northern end who can't afford to eat have plenty, they would be happy to take on such work, and their prices are much cheaper than yours. 。“That’s right, it’s already late in the day, so it doesn’t matter if we wait a little longer.” 。The pallbearers glanced at each other, and no one mentioned the issue of carrying the coffin again. They just said that they would take it out of town and pay the half tael of silver. 。Aunt Two cursed a few more times, with an unwilling face, she followed out. While walking, she said to Uncle Two, “Giving your parents and now your brother a burial... how unlucky I am to have married into your family!”Uncle Two quickly persuaded, "Don't be angry, there's no other way, is there You say if the government found me, would I refuse to take back the body That wouldn't work either, after all, he's my own brother..." 。Alright, alright, just do this for them and their little courtyard. Put this down! Then sell the courtyard and this place too. Add the money together and you can get a much bigger place. 。Then I'll buy you a maid to wait on you, so you can experience life as an inner-city wife. 。"Humph," Aunt Two snorted, giving him a withering look. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Did you buy that maid for me Aren't you just buying her to be your concubine""No way! Don't overthink it. If that were the case, we wouldn't buy maids at all; we'd just get a wife." 。"That's enough from you, woman!"

Auntie rolled her eyes again but didn't say anything more about not letting the midwife in. She just muttered, "That deadbeat son of Tiger probably doesn't even know where he ran off to, hasn't been back all night. He didn't even come back to carry his father's coffin today! If he does come back, I can save myself some money" 。“He’s of no use even if he comes back. He’s short and can’t hold his own against the others.” 。But that little rascal will be a problem later on. We can't just keep raising him. 。He's a big boy now, and he eats a lot. That takes up quite a bit of food. 。"

Your aunt was furious and twisted his arm tightly, "Do you still want to raise him Get out of here! I'm telling you, when we get back, I'll contact someone to sell him right away, and then use the money to buy a wife!" 。"Well then," Uncle Er smiled and nodded. "Alright, that's settled. I'll go find him when I get back. When I do, I'll sell him directly." 。As the two were talking, they looked up and saw Tiger standing at the door. 。Aunt Two subconsciously wanted to yell, but when she turned her head, she saw Quan Qing standing with Tiger. 。She hesitated, and the words she wanted to say died in her throat. It was just that Quan Qing's appearance and his attire of white made her feel ashamed of herself, and she even felt embarrassed if her voice was a little too loud. 。She didn't know who this person was. Yesterday, Huzi had been quietly taken away by Quan Qinghua, without alerting anyone at home. 。By the time she realized Tiger was missing, it was already very late. 。She didn't care about Huzi, and even felt that since the person wasn't at home, she could save a bowl of dinner. This was pretty good too, as it saved her the effort of searching for him. 。Anyway, the next day he was buried, Huzi would always come back. 。When she saw Huzi again, she didn't feel much of anything. She just thought that this child, who had been gone for only one night, was completely different from before. 。I can't quite put my finger on what's different, it just feels like the whole person is unfamiliar. My eyes aren't sad or happy, and even when I see that thin coffin, there isn't much emotional fluctuation. 。The second aunt turned back to look at the man following her, puzzled. The second uncle stepped forward and rebuked Tiger: "You good-for-nothing! Where did you go Today is your father's funeral, you should have stayed home to help carry the coffin. You disappeared all night, do you even have a conscience" Slap! A slap landed on Tiger's face, sending him sprawling to the ground. The second uncle was about to kick him again... 。Quan Qinghua raised her arm, her folding fan blocking her second uncle's legs. With a light tap, she didn't seem to exert much force, but the second uncle let out a strange cry and fell to the ground with a thud, clutching his leg and rolling around in pain. 。Aunt Two also cried out and rushed over to check on his injured leg, but as soon as she touched him, Uncle Two cried out in pain. 。The pallbearers saw that they couldn't move for a while, so they put the coffin down. One of them looked at Second Uncle for a while and said, "This leg must be broken! If it was just a skin wound, it wouldn't hurt this much. Quickly call a doctor to take a look!" Some people also looked towards Quan Qinghua, with confusion mixed with a wary eye. 。After all, with such powerful skills that can break someone's legs with just a touch and the audacity to injure people on the street, they definitely aren't ordinary people. 。They're just there to take the money and carry the coffin; they shouldn't get involved in other people's business. 。Aunt Er, upon hearing that her son-in-law's leg was possibly broken, immediately became enraged. She turned to Quan Qinghua and shouted, "Why did you hit him" Then, she glared at Huzi, becoming even more furious, "Well, little punk, have you found someone to back you up Come back for revenge What are you taking revenge for Your mother committed that shameless act, got killed by your father, and your father, knowing he was guilty of murder and deserved to be punished, took his own life. What does this have to do with us We split the family after your grandfather died, and we haven't had much contact these years. Now we're here to mourn for you, yet I feel like the one being wronged. You're the one who came at us first! You even dared to have someone break your second uncle's leg. Do you have a conscience" Huzi kept staring at his father's coffin, his eyes bloodshot red... 。Faced with the second aunt's question, this child's stubbornness flared up. He retorted, "It's you guys who are heartless! You want to take over my house and sell me off. You can get so much silver, but you don't even buy a decent coffin for my father. How come Wow—" The always strong child finally broke down and cried out, "Wow—". 。He is six years old this year, but because he is small, he looks like he is four or five. 。He has always been well-behaved, never causing his parents worry. He always helps with household chores. 。He thought that as long as he behaved himself, his family could live a good life. He never expected that in the end, things would turn out like this. 。The child cried louder and louder as he thought more about it, and gradually drew a crowd of onlookers. 。 Aunt Second saw that there were more people watching, and immediately preempted the situation, pointing at Quan Qing and starting to accuse: "You see this man! He looks so human, but he wants to hurt people with his actions! My husband just said a few words to his nephew, and this man actually broke my husband's leg!" 。What does he think he's doing Who is he Why are you meddling in our family business Besides, my husband says his nephew didn't do anything wrong. His father died and he wasn't home mourning, instead he went out for a whole night and only came back now, missing the funeral procession altogether! This kind of child deserves a beating, right Who doesn't discipline their children this way Why did he resort to violence Is there any justice in this world anymore I'm going to report this to the authorities! I must!" The commoners didn't understand what was happening, but the two officers who had walked closer immediately understood. 。"Stop it right there! You common woman, how dare you insult His Royal Highness the Dust King! This alone is a grievous crime! Kneel and apologize to His Highness immediately!"The second aunt was startled. "Dust King His Highness What do you mean"While she was confused, her husband reacted quickly. He dragged himself down on one leg and kowtowed to Quan Qing, reminding his wife, "What are you waiting for The Royal Prince is a member of the imperial family! Even if he broke my leg, or killed me, I have no way to complain!" 。"Bow quickly, bow to the prince!"

That second aunt also reacted, quickly knelt down and kowtowed heavily. 。This guy really committed to it, he's bleeding from the forehead already. 。She felt the pain, and didn't dare to hit it again. But she was also afraid that the prince would take her life, so she knelt on the ground and started to cry. 。The official came to Quan Qinghua's side, bowed, and then asked, "Your Highness, how should we handle this matter" Quan Qinghua glanced at them, "How to handle it is Chi Hongfang's business, you needn't ask this King But since you have asked, this King will tell you the key point..." 。“He pointed to the uncle and aunt, “These two are the deceased's brother and sister-in-law. It's natural for a brother to attend his brother's funeral, but since they have split their family, it is reasonable for them to ask for compensation.” 。The deceased left only a young child, unable to pay this reward. They intend to seize the house, and I also believe it is appropriate... 。But—" He changed his tone, and his expression turned sharp... >nd the screen wall and reached the front gate. 。...Ren was supported by Jun Tao, her hand clutching a cane. After she stood firm, she pounded the ground repeatedly, wailing with anguish: "In times of...
