"What are you doing? This is the rules of the Xu family. Don't you know? If you make a mistake, you must accept punishment. If you let you go this time and everyone will follow you in the future, then how can the Xu family gain a foothold in Jiangnan? Don't you understand this principle?"

Xiaoyue was not at all soft-hearted because of the hard work of the family, and still pointed at him and spoke ill of him.

The servant burst into tears and begged Xu Wenxin in the carriage: "Miss, be kind, be a little polite, you have three children and a pair of parents, now you rely on my wages to survive.

For the young lady, this amount of wages is not enough for breakfast, so don’t make things difficult for us servants? Please show your compassion..."

Meow--

At this moment, a cat moaned in the carriage, and then Xu Wenxin's sweet voice sounded sweetly: "Mimi, what's wrong with you? Is it too noisy outside that makes you unable to rest? You have to be good..."

After saying that, Xu Wenxin said to Xiaoyue: "Let's go quickly, we have been wasting a lot of time. If we arrived a little late, the prefect would think that our Xu family is different from the past and is stinking airs..."

"Okay, Miss..."

Xiaoyue responded, and then said to the butler: "Hurry up and pull him away, delaying the lady's banquet. Who can bear it?"

The butler responded quickly, and then instructed the two servants and said, "Why are you still standing there? You haven't pulled the person away? Do you want to be punished too?"

The servant hesitated for a moment. In order to save his job, he had to come forward to pull the man and said, "Don't block the young lady's words. Now is not the time to talk about these things, don't implicate us..."

The man was dragged aside and watched Xu Wenxin's carriage slowly drive towards the Ge Mansion.

"Miss~ Our family is counting on my salary, please show your compassion~~"

The man kept kowtowing to the carriage that was leaving, attracting countless pedestrians around him to look at each other, and sighs kept coming...

After a long time, a young man who looked like a scholar came forward to help the man up and said, "You just accept the reality. Now the Xu family is in a big way and is chasing the Jiang family. Don't say it's you, even if the entire Yangzhou city and the entire Jiangnan cannot afford to offend,

It's good that she only deducts you one salary. Even if the life is hard, it will be over. If your life is lost, nothing will be gone..."

The man cried and shook his head: "My wife is sick and can't do rough work. Her parents are old and naturally can't do work. The three children are only eight years old. If they didn't have me buying rice with their wages, they would have to starve..."

The scholar patted the man on the shoulder and sighed helplessly, not knowing how to persuade him.

The Xu family has become increasingly strict with their servants in recent years. Because Xu Wenjing was an official in the court and was at the level of founding meritorious service, the Xu family was no longer satisfied and continued to be a businessman, and began to have the idea of ​​becoming a new family.

Therefore, the famous people in the clan led by Mr. Xu first formulated strict family rules according to the aristocratic families in Jiangnan, and then constantly urged descendants of the clan to study hard, prepare to welcome the first major test next year, enter the ranks of official career, and allow the Xu family to complete the transformation from business to politics.

Among them, the Xu family rules clearly stipulate that the servants must be severely punished for making mistakes, and they cannot violate the Xu family's master at all. As long as they do things in the Xu family, they cannot take on "private work" outside. Once discovered, they will be driven out of the Xu family, and they will be beaten to death at worst.

Moreover, those who were kicked out of the Xu family could not find new jobs. Take Yangzhou City as an example. The Xu family has its influence in all walks of life. Who dares to take in the people who were kicked out of the Xu family to work?

Therefore, the scholar did not persuade the man to find another job, because he knew that this was in vain. Once the man left the Xu mansion, the whole family would be destined to be dead.

Until the carriage was far away, the man knew that it would be useless to ask for it any more, so he had to turn around and walk towards the house in a lonely way.

"Customer, have you seen that this is what Xu's mansion is now. No one in Yangzhou City dares to provoke Xu's mansion. In fact, this man is good, but if he deducts a month's wages, he will be over..."

In the teahouse, Dr. Tea continued to talk to Liu Ce about the "glorious deeds" of the Xu family, but Ye Bin frowned when he heard it.

After a long time, Liu Ce took out another silver dollar and put it in Dr. Tea's hand: "There is nothing to do with you here, go down..."

After a while, I earned another silver dollar. In addition, I had just made a total of six silver dollars. Dr. Tea was so happy that his eyebrows were bent, and he had long left the story of being beaten by Wei Ding behind.

"Customer, please use it slowly..."

After Dr. Tea politely said, he left happily. After he left, Ye Bin couldn't help but say to Liu Ce: "Shopkeeper Liu, I'm sorry to say bluntly that Xu's family's actions are a bit too much.

Even the Shi family should not treat their servants so meanly. They also asked Manager Liu to tell Xu Shangshu about the situation here after returning to Beijing, so as not to regret causing a major disaster in the future.”

Liu Ce snorted coldly and said, "It seems that the Xu family's genes are really powerful. The Xu family's daughter and Xu Wenjing are worthy of being born from the same womb. They are both disregarding human life and the same cruelty!"

"I dare to ask Manager Liu, what is genes?" Ye Bin was puzzled by the new words that Liu Ce said.

Liu Ce smiled, did not answer directly, but pointed at the direction the man left and said:

"Let the intelligence department placed in Yangzhou City... forget it, go to the man's house with me to take a look. It's just to treat some stains for Xu Wenjing, so as not to use the waste from the Hanlin Academy to impeach Xu Wenjing and spend all his life..."

Liu Ce left a sentence and took the three of them away from the teahouse and followed the man.

...

Before he knew it, the man had arrived in front of his yard. The neighbors around him saw the man retreating.

The man played the role of a thug in the Xu Mansion and bullied the people a lot on his conscience. Naturally, everyone was scared when they saw him.

He looked at the dilapidated courtyard gate of his house, and hesitated and pushed open the door.

"Erlang is back?"

As soon as he opened the door, an old woman in her sixties called him, and this man was the man's mother.

"well……"

The man responded, turned around and covered the door with his head down, and walked into the house with his head down.

"Dad..."

A five-year-old girl saw the man and called him intimately, making the man's lonely and pale face barely squeeze out a smile, and went forward to pick up his daughter.

Then his eight-year-old son also appeared beside him with a wooden ball in his hand.

The man stroked his son's cheek and asked, "Where is your mother?"

The son replied: "Mom is not feeling well and can't get up when she is lying on the bed..."

Upon hearing this, the man put down his daughter and entered the inner room. He saw his wife lying in bed, looking very ugly. There was a baby in a swaddling baby on the inside of her bed, and he kept waving his little hands.

The man came to his wife and asked with concern: "What? Are you sick again?"

My wife said, "Starting today during the day, my chest is so stuffy that I feel so stuffy that I don't have the strength to do. Husband, I'm causing you trouble..."

The man said, "It won't work if this continues. I'd better find a doctor to take a look..."

The wife shook her head: "Husband, do we still have money to see a doctor? There are old and young people in the family, and there are three children to raise. I'm fine, just lie down for a while..."

The man held a corner of the blanket tightly, showing a very embarrassed expression.

"By the way, husband, why did you come back so early? Look at the time, it's not until noon? Is something wrong?" the wife said wonderingly.

The man was about to complain, but when he saw his wife like this, he endured it and decided to carry it alone.

"Today, the daughter of Xu's family went to the prefect's house to attend a banquet. I had nothing to do and came back early, it would be fine..."

The man found a reason casually. After saying that, he quickly turned his face to clean up the clothes that had not been sorted out, so his wife could not see anything strange...

"Really? Didn't you lie to me?" The wife said with a little doubt, "The daughter of Xu's family has also heard that she is a mean person and is not easy to get along with. If you really can't do it, then stop doing it. Also find a job to let the neighbors talk less..."

"I know, you don't have to worry about me..." The man felt even more uncomfortable.

The wife didn't think much, but said, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are cooking. Since my husband is back, then eat and leave..."

The man heard this and said, "Ah? Oh, I've eaten it, you guys, I'll go back to Xu's mansion later, and there are still many things to do in the afternoon..."

Upon hearing this, his wife stood up from the bed with difficulty and said, "It's not until noon? Why did you have lunch? Husband, honestly, what happened? Don't hide it from me..."

When the man heard this, his hand, which was folding his clothes, stopped. He could no longer help it. After calculating his nose, he said with a choking: "Just because of a cat and a broken cat, I was deducted a month's salary. It's not something human beings do..."

"What the hell is going on? You said..." The wife was so excited that she couldn't help but make her chest even more stuffy.

The man hurriedly comforted his wife and said, "It's okay, I will find a way, I will definitely overcome this difficulty..."

After his wife became more angry, she said, "Husband, I'm fine if I'm hungry, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law still have three children. We can't afford to offend the Xu family.

Let’s go to Xu’s mansion now and beg Mr. Xu and the others to help us save our whole family. Let’s go now…”

The man hurriedly said, "Madam, just lie down. I will handle this matter well. Also, don't let your parents know that they will worry. Don't worry, I will buy rice and flour tomorrow and will not let you starve..."

The wife saw a trace of fierce light in her husband's eyes. She knew that he was going to do something that was right, and hurriedly said, "Husband, can you never do stupid things? We can't afford to offend the Xu family,
