FH Chapter 52: 咸猪手
[Pervert (esp. one who gropes women in public)]
Xiao Lingchuan patted Li Haitang’s back, saw her shivering, hesitated for a moment, but still embraced the person in his arms.
His embrace is wide, warm, and there is also the smell of Chinese honey locust freshness, clean with warmth, so that Li Haitang can not bear to leave.
What to do? Soldiers come to block the water to cover the earth [ Confront soldiers with generals and stem water with earth—take whatever measures are called for; do what is necessary] the way or solution people come up with, in short, she, Li Haitang, never admit defeat!
“Big Brother Xiao, does the death deed slave have a deed of sale?”
Li Haitang knew nothing about everything, even if it was a bolt from the blue, she had to calm down quickly, crying and grieving would not help.
God let her come to Da Qi, it was never to look at her as a slave and tease her!
“Yes, it has the name of the slave, the year of birth, and the most important proof, the handprint.”
After signing the contract, the Yamen would file it and record it, so even if the master lost the deed of sale, it could be replaced in the Yamen.
“No wonder.”
Li Haitang didn’t realize that her own posture was weird, she was just like a koala, hugging the savage and not letting go of his hand, and her hand was unconsciously stroking his pecs and abs.
On the opposite side, her little brother, Li Jin Hu, had a tangled face, reddened, and was too embarrassed to voice out a reminder.
‘Men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things’ (citation, from Mencius), therefore even if Big Brother Xiao is his future brother-in-law, the two of them are not married yet, this is in broad daylight, embracing, what a scandal! Don’t tell me Jie’s brain is stimulated so she goes wrong!
The soft little hands are restless, Xiao Lingchuan only felt his body hot, his whole body seems to be burned by fire, he can only stiffen his body, not moving.
“The slave registration must be sent to the government office before it can be considered effective.”
This process would take about a month. So, it wasn’t like they didn’t have a way.
“Two ways, the first is to find Counselor Qin.”
Xiao Lingchuan gave Li Haitang a patient explanation, as long as the main family was willing to give back her freedom, return the deed of sale, and then go to the Yamen to file, she would be free.
“Then what about the second?”
The first point doesn’t even need to be thought about, unless she can pay a big price, otherwise that horny dead old man won’t let her go.
Li Haitang didn’t give it any thought and directly skipped over to the next approach.
“Take away the deed of sale from Counselor Qin, and destroy the file at the county office.”
Fortunately, in less than a month, if the file goes to the government office, the difficulty factor will greatly increase, this is considered a blessing in misfortune.
“But … ”
Li Haitang rubbed the corner of her forehead, the second approach, it seems that it is not simpler than the first.
I’ve heard that Counselor Qin’s body has always been a bit sick. If she can cure the disease and take the opportunity to make an offer, perhaps Counselor Qin will agree.
However, that kind of evil person, it would be best to report to the King of Hell earlier, if she saved the evil person, she would be aiding and abetting the wicked.
“Leave it to me.”
Xiao Lingchuan’s tone was certain, as if it wasn’t a big deal, making Li Haitang inexplicably feel more secure, and her heart settled down.
“Jie, look, that sneaky person over there, it seems like it’s the eldest uncle’s wife!”
Li Jin Hu occupied the corner of the carriage’s window, looking along the gap, wearing a grey cloth skirt. The person is Liu, he didn’t get it wrong, she is secretly withdrawing from the crowd.
“Let’s follow up and take a look.”
Xiao Lingchuan escaped, out of the carriage, he only felt his nose a little hot, with a hand, touching the red blood.
“Jie, just now, you just too…”
Li Jin Hu covered his face with both hands, he is still small, can’t look at juvenile inappropriate shots, his own big sister is also too bold, simply beyond imagination.
“What’s with me?”
Li Haitang’s brain was messy, became a paste, just now she unconsciously casually touched it, looks like she had touched the buttocks, the flesh was tight, well, it was also a bit stick up.
“Nothing.”
Li Jin Hu was unhappy, his fists hitting cotton, before he thought that his big sister had outstanding posture, if not because of the big change in the family, he would definitely be able to marry a capable person.
Now, he would think that Big Brother Xiao was really aggrieved by marrying his Big Sister!
“What are you staring at my hand for, there’s something on it?”
Li Haitang raised his slender jade hand, her ten fingers were long and white, it was beautiful any way she looked at it.
Li Jin Hu shook his head, his heart cried out, Jie, that’s a salty pig’s hand (pervert), salty pig’s hand ah!
Between the two people’s conversation, Liu had already entered a teahouse. Xiao Lingchuan stopped the carriage and was about to follow.
“Big Brother Xiao, you stay with my sister, I’ll follow up and take a look.”
Li Jin Hu’s body is small and nimble, this side is only two streets away from the mansion his mother bought, in case he is discovered, he will hide first at home.
“Let’s go together.”
Li Haitang winked, took out a small package, inside was the rouge and water powder Xiao Lingchuan prepared for her, she outlined thick eyebrows, and yellowish pink; flesh-colour powder to cover the corners of her eyes, and applied make-up with the help of small bronze mirror, in a few moments, the gorgeous beauty was transformed into a married woman with a dusky complexion, and instantly aged a few years.
“Jie, you’re really great.”
Li Jin Hu was at the side, witnessing the whole process. After he was surprised, he calmly accepted it. Surely it is not surprising that the eldest sister got her mother’s true heritage.
Li Haitang quickly changed her face, Xiao Lingchuan’s face was expressionless, but her heart rippled, this woman, sometimes strong, sometimes fragile, you don’t know how many things she actually able to do, giving people the feeling that it will always be a mystery, making people unconsciously want to get closer.
The three of them quickly went up to the first floor, and chose the private room next door to Liu’s.
The teahouse was separated by wooden boards, and by putting their ears on the boards, they could hear each other’s speech very clearly.
Xiao Lingchuan didn’t know where to find a nail, easily inserted it into the wooden board and pulled it out, revealing a small hole.
Next door, Liu sat on a chair, crossing her legs, casually grabbing a handful of peanuts and quickly peeling them.
“Mother, my grandma was taken away by the officials?”
Li Qiu Ju wore a brand new dress, head jewellery, crossed her orchid-shaped fingers—a hand gesture with the tips of the thumb and the forefinger touching and the other three fingers raised (made in traditional Chinese operas to show delicacy and grace), languidly sipping her tea, at first glance, there was not a hint of rusticity, instead, she looked like a pretty daughter in a humble family.
However, her movements could not withstand close scrutiny, behaving in an affected way, awkward posture, like an artificial jumping clown.
“That dead old woman, it’s better to die inside and forget about it, otherwise living is also a disaster.”
Liu blew on the peanut’s outer skin and beat her waist with her hand, “In these few days, I’ve been harassed by grandma and she even proposed that you marry instead of that bitch, Li Haitang!”
Speaking of Li Haitang, Liu was so angry that she sat up straight, thinking of the five taels of silver that she was cheated out of, she couldn’t sleep at night, her conscience hurt together.
“Mother, it’s only five taels of silver, letting her be a death contract slave, this is a good deal.”
Li Qiu Ju’s hands were stained with bright red nails, she blew on her fingers, her smile twisted.
Originally, Li Haitang was able to not to be so miserable, who let this person always have a high and mighty look, the same are all granddaughters of the Li family, Li Haitang dared to step her, Li Qiu Ju, in the mud, those broken things, used ‘second-hand goods’, come to do favours for her, who cares!
This time is good, retribution comes so fast, Li Haitang parents died, she was brought to a dead old man who has a special fetish, the death deed, a lifetime, don’t ever think to turn over (to free oneself), haha, really relieve hate!
