Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 320: Encountered a beggar?

Pei Zongzheng quickly changed into clean clothes and came back. After such a commotion, he felt even more disgusted with Yao Qingnian. She dared to treat him like this today. I don't know how she bullied You Ran on weekdays! If such a vicious woman was married home, she would definitely cause a big commotion in the mansion. So he made up his mind that he would not agree to the position of his concubine even if it meant that he would have to go back and talk to his mother. After staying in the mansion for a while, the mother and son of the Pei family said goodbye and left.

Seeing that Yao Qingnian really seemed to have no interest in the young master of the Pei family, Chen Shuhua did not ask any further questions. This matter concerned her daughter's lifelong happiness, so she couldn't be impatient.

The next day, after breakfast, the mother and daughter had nothing to do, so they decided to go out for a walk. They left as soon as they said they would, packed up and dressed, and left the house with their two maids. The carriage came to the pedestrian street in the center of the capital.

After finding a place to park the carriage, the group walked on the street. There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, as well as small vendors setting up stalls. The sounds of hawking their wares could be heard one after another, making the street very lively.

The mother and daughter bought a lot of small things along the way. As long as Yao Qingnian liked something, Chen Shuhua asked her to pack them up and buy them. After a while, Shanwei and Yuzhu's hands were full of things.

After walking around for a long time, Yao Qingnian felt a little tired and prepared to find a place to rest and eat something. She saw a restaurant not far away and walked towards it. Before they had gone far, a figure suddenly rushed over and bumped into them. Chen Shuhua did not have time to dodge and was hit by the figure and fell backwards. Yao Qingnian quickly supported Chen Shuhua who staggered backwards and stood sideways to avoid falling.

"Madam, are you okay? Where did this beggar come from? He doesn't even look at the road!" Yuzhu hurried forward to support the person.

"Nothing." Chen Shuhua was still a little frightened, and it took her a long time to relax.

I saw the figure falling to the ground. The person was a beggar with messy hair and dirty body. A man with a fat face caught up with him. He sat on the ground helplessly, holding his head with both hands, and moved to the wall behind Yao Qingnian and others.

"Run! Why don't you run? You stinky beggar! You dare to steal in broad daylight, I'll teach you a lesson!" He held a stick in his hand, and because of the intense running, he was panting heavily. It took him a long time to recover, and sweat flowed down his cheeks full of flesh. "Huh! You stinky beggar are too fast, you have hands and feet, what can't you do? You stole your uncle's things! Give me money, if you don't, I'll send you to the authorities!"

After he finished speaking, he wanted to grab the beggar, but the women in front of him made it difficult for him to move forward, so he said, "Ladies and ladies, this stinky beggar took my things and didn't give me any money. I want to arrest him and bring him to the authorities. Please move aside and don't hurt you."

The burly man was quite polite. Since the man had stolen something, Yao Qingnian and the others did not want to meddle in his business and just stepped aside to let the man pass.

When the man saw them move aside, he raised the stick in his hand and hit the beggar: "Stealing things, I let you steal! Today I finally caught you, I will beat you to death!"

“Ouch… It hurts… I’m hungry…” The man cried out while holding his head and being beaten, attracting the attention of the people around.

Chen Shuhua looked at the scene in front of her, feeling a little bit reluctant, and said, "Stop it! If you hit him again, he'll be killed! What did he steal from you?!"

"Madam, you don't know, this stinky beggar has come to steal the buns from my house several times recently when I wasn't paying attention. He got away the first two times, and I finally caught him today. I must teach him a lesson, otherwise he won't dare to come again next time." The man saw that Chen Shuhua was wearing gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary demeanor, and the young lady beside her was pretty and charming, and had a maid accompanying her. It seemed that they were the young lady and wife of a wealthy family, and he spoke respectfully and politely.

"Boss, it's not easy for you either. Let me put it this way. I feel sorry for this beggar. It's fate that we met today. Just consider it as a good deed to accumulate virtue. I'll give you this silver. If he comes to your shop again, don't drive him away, beat him or scold him. Just give him some buns to eat." Chen Shuhua asked Yuzhu to take out a silver ingot and hand it to the man.

The man dropped the stick in his hand, took the silver and carefully checked it in his hand, then said with a smile: "This brat is lucky today to meet a kind person like you, Madam. Don't worry, since I have received the silver, I will not embarrass him again if he comes here in the future."

After saying this, he glared at the beggar, took the silver and left happily. The onlookers dispersed when they saw that there was no excitement or reliability.

Yao Qingnian looked at the beggar who was still trembling on the ground with his head in his hands, shook his head, retracted his gaze, and helped Chen Shuhua continue to walk towards the restaurant not far away. But who would have thought that the beggar did not leave, but stood up, lingered not far from them, and followed them.

Chen Shuhua felt a little uneasy, so she stopped and walked to the beggar. The beggar was dishevelled and his face was not visible. He had no idea how long he had worn his clothes. They were tattered and his body was covered with wounds. He lowered his head and trembled all over. "Why are you following us? Don't worry, that man won't beat you again. I gave him some money. If you want to eat buns in the future, just go to him."

"Hehe... Mother..." The beggar laughed and muttered "Mother".

"Mother?" The word "mother" made her feel more and more nervous. Perhaps it was because she also had children. She felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the beggar talking about his mother. She covered her chest and said, "Nianran, I don't know why, I feel very nervous."

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Yao Qingnian hurriedly took her pulse. Her pulse was a little disordered, but there was no big problem. She might just be tired from shopping.

"Why don't we go to the restaurant and go back to the mansion directly. Shanwei, go and get the carriage."

"Okay." They stood where they were, and the beggar didn't leave either, just stood quietly aside.

After a while, Shan Wei came over in a carriage.

When Chen Shuhua got on the carriage, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She took out another piece of silver and asked Yuzhu to give it to the beggar. Then she got on the carriage and slowly went back to the Shangshu Mansion.

When they returned to the gate of the Shangshu Mansion, got off the carriage and were about to go in, they didn't expect that the beggar had followed them all the way, grabbing the corner of their clothes nervously not far away.

"You, why are you following me? Didn't our lady give you silver? Please leave now! Don't follow me anymore." Yuzhu couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to ask the beggar to leave.

"Hehe... Mom, I want to go home, go home..."
