Chapter 24 The crisis and investment of the Zhuofu family)
After arriving at Zhuofu's family, Wang Chong realized that the Zhuo family was a local landlord, which was similar to that of his last game, Mr. Sun.
However, Zhuo Fu is not very authentic in his work. He not only opens a casino, but also offers usury and jiyuan. In short, in addition to formal industries, he has other things to do.
This guy is very harsh to his servants. The servants in his family are forced to sell them by him with gambling debts. Therefore, he only needs to provide some food to his servants, which is equivalent to making work for him for free. The servants also gave him a nickname called Zhuo Papi.
He has many thugs in his hands. If anyone is disobedient, he will be beaten. The servants at home dare not speak out.
Wang Chong was arranged to work in the kitchen of Zhuo Mansion. He was not too tired, but he just helped to burn the fire every day, then washed clothes and swept the floor.
Although I do a lot of work every day, it is not unhealthy, that is, I finally got full and didn’t have much fish or meat, but I had enough food.
"I didn't expect that I would fall into this place, and I don't know how my mother is doing."
Wang Chong sighed and thought about what to do next.
It is impossible for him to stay here forever. With Zhuo Fu's temperament, even if he works until he is adult, he will probably not let him go and will continue to squeeze him.
But I am too young at the moment, so I may be caught when I run home.
"Forget it, let's do it first, eat more food and improve your body."
Just as he was thinking, a maid came over and said, "Children, are your name Wang Xiaoyu?"
"Is there anything wrong with my sister?"
"There is a girl at the back door, it's your mother, she asked me to call you."
"Thanks."
Wang Xiaoyu temporarily stopped washing clothes and walked out.
"Son, you didn't suffer?" Seeing Wang Chong come out, Zhang Xiaohong excitedly hugged him, his eyes turned red.
"Mom, I'm fine. Although I'm working for them, I'm very full."
Wang Chong glanced at his mother's face and his heart suddenly became tugged.
After leaving last night, Wang Dayong beat Zhang Xiaohong all over, and now his eyes are swollen.
"Hey, it's all my mother who is incompetent. Don't worry, I will find a way to take you out. We will leave here at that time."
"But where can I go? If I leave, I will not even have a place to live." Wang Chong shook his head: "I'll live here first, you're fine alone."
"Son..." Seeing Wang Chong so sensible, Zhang Xiaohong cried: "Sons, they are all your fathers, your father, what should we do in the future!"
"I'll take good care of myself, my mother."
After chatting for a while, the previous maid secretly ran out: "Hey, I'm almost done. If the butler comes down to check and find out, you will be punished. Come in with me quickly."
This maid is a good man, Wang Xin nodded: "I understand, Miss."
He followed the maid in, and the maid asked, "Children, why did Zhuo Bapi catch you?"
"My father lost the bet and I was sold here."
"That's it, just like me." The maid lowered her head and said sadly: "But you are better than me. My father lost the bet and sold my mother to Yangchunyuan to pick up customers, and I am here again."
"It's all a group of beasts!" Wang Chong said angrily.
"I will be taken to Yangchunyuan to pick up customers when I am eighteen years old. Zhuo Bapi said that we still owe him a lot of money, a lot of money. I have to go over to pick up customers, and he will let my mother go."
Speaking of the sadness, the maid also started to cry: "I am fifteen years old now, and there are only three years left."
Wang Chong clenched his fists and said angrily: "What kind of world is this? Why aren't he good people?"
"Children, my name is Yalan, where are you?"
"My name is Wang Xiaoyu, Sister Yalan, have you never thought of leaving secretly?"
"Don't be stupid, just run away. Where can I escape? I am a girl's house and I am also living on the streets outside."
"You two are actually chatting if you don't work?"
At this time, a gloomy voice came from behind.
Wang Chong quickly turned around and spoke to the Zhuo family's housekeeper named Zhang Laoben. He was a man in his fifties. He was fat and big-eared. He liked to bully his subordinates with a fake tiger. His subordinates dared not speak out about him.
"Manager Zhang, we are about to go to the kitchen, there is no chat." Yalan lowered her head and said fearfully.
"Hmph, I saw it all, and I still said I didn't chat? And you." Zhang Laoben looked at Wang Chong, "You are the new slave named Xiaoyu. Didn't you arrange for you to work in the kitchen? Why are you running around?"
"I'll go to the bathroom." Wang Chong responded.
"Yes, my little brother has just come here and is not familiar with him yet. I took him to recognize him for a while." Yalan said hurriedly.
"Nonsense, I saw you coming from the door with my own eyes. Did you just want to run?"
Zhang Lao Ben shouted violently, picked up the bamboo board in his hand, and called Wang Chong's arm.
"Bao!" Wang Chong's hands were numb when these two bamboo boards beat Wang Chong's hands, and his tender little hands immediately became red and swollen.
Yalan hurriedly protected Wang Chong, so Zhang Laoben did not continue to fight. After all, Yalan will be sold to Yangchunyuan in the future, and the guests will not like it if they are damaged.
"Manager Zhang, we were wrong. Just now, Xiaoyu's mother came over, so I took him to see him. I dare not do it anymore." Yalan said with her head down.
"I just knew that if I got out of here, I would hit the three bamboo boards to teach him a lesson."
Wang Chong stared at Zhang Laoben with a expressionless face and said, "Sister Yalan, please get out of the way. I will bear this lesson."
"this……"
Yalan bit her, and finally got out of the way.
"Hehe, you know what's right." Zhang Lao Ben picked up the bamboo board and called it.
The three-legged board made Wang Chong's right arm hurt for several days. Fortunately, Sister Yalan borrowed the medicine for the fall and injury from a servant, which made Wang Chong heal a little.
Two years passed in a blink of an eye.
Wang Chong's thin body has grown a lot stronger. At the age of six, he has helped chop wood and wash clothes at Zhuo's family.
Other servants said that after Wang Chong was ten years old, he would go to some of the Zhuo family's industries to work as a helper, such as coolies, restaurants to serve tea and water. In short, it would be dark all his life.
Knowing this, Wang Chong made up his mind to find an opportunity to leave early.
Zhang Xiaohong occasionally secretly came to Wang Chong at night, and always brought a chicken leg.
According to her, in order to avoid the debt owed by Wang Dayong, she is not going home now. She works in Yuanlai Inn every day and lives in the inn's woodshed at night. As for Wang Dayong, there has been no news for a long time.
This year, Yalan has been depressed and will be sent to the jiyuan next year. When she thinks of her dark life in the future, she can't be happy at all.
"Xiaoyu, this is my new shoes for you these days. Your child is growing fast, and the shoes used to be no longer suitable for you."
Yalan gently touched Wang Chong's head and suddenly cried: "I remember to come and see my sister in the future, I will miss you."
"Sister Yalan, run away. My mother is at Yuanlai Inn. She knows you. You told her about the situation. She takes you back to my countryside. They won't catch you easily."
"It's useless, I accept my fate." Yalan cried and shook her head.
Suddenly there was a noise at the door.
"According to the order of the governor, we are hereby ordered us to arrest the court's criminal Zhuo Fu, and take all the people in the family and others for me, and not leave any one behind!"
