"Oh! I've heard about this too. It's related to the leader of the alliance. We need to take this matter seriously." The shopkeeper said with a happy expression.
"Sister-in-law, you said you were from Nanjiagou. Is there anyone in your village who can cook braised pork? His name is Hou Yangmin? Yes, his name is Hou Yangmin." The deacon of the war hall asked.
"Making braised meat?"
When Li Cuihua heard the two people talking about Nanjiagou and the Hou family, especially Hou Yangmin, who was the child's uncle, her face lit up with joy.
But when he heard that the braised meat seller didn't have the skills to cook it himself, his face immediately darkened.
Now Hou Min, who was far away, heard it clearly. He did not want to miss any chance and rushed over immediately.
"Wow!"
Because of his broken leg, Hou Min lost his balance and stumbled, knocking over the table on which he was recording.
"presumptuous!"
The township official who was sitting and drinking tea nearby saw Hou Minyou knock over the table and immediately stood up in anger.
When the shopkeeper and steward of Jinyintang saw Li Cuihua's disappointed face, they realized that they had recognized the wrong person and were very unhappy with the person who knocked over the table.
Just as the militia from the township office was beating Hou Min with batons, the frightened Hou Min Youcai shouted out.
"Master, I know Hou Yangmin. Hou Yangmin is my brother!"
"stop!"
"Someone, help this brother up and talk!"
"Tell me about Hou Yangmin in detail. If he dares to lie to us, my Yanhuang Alliance will not be easily offended." The shopkeeper of Jinyintang said.
The war hall steward on the other side snorted coldly and slapped the sword at his waist.
"Gentlemen, I am really from Nanjiagou Village. All the children in this township who know me know me.
My eldest brother is Hou Yangmin. We stayed here in September, and he took more than 200 people in the village to Qin Province.
My eldest brother has two sons, Hou Huanying and Hou Huanhuan, and my nephew is a child prodigy named Hou Xiaoge. "Hou Minyou talked about his relationship in a long and rambling way.
Manager Han and the steward of the War Hall nearby showed joy on their faces when they heard the name Hou Xiaoge. Several disciples of the War Hall nearby also knew Hou Xiaoge and their faces were full of smiles.
However, just in case, Manager Han also asked about the facial features and approximate ages of several people from the Hou family. Although there were some discrepancies, he was roughly sure that he had not recognized the wrong people.
"Come, help brother Hou Minyou sit down. Make him a cup of sugar water." Shopkeeper Han patted the dirt off Hou Minyou's body with a smile on his face and asked someone to find a chair for him to sit down.
"I dare not do this."
Hou Min was so flattered that he didn't dare to sit down.
"Brother Minyou, we know the man you are talking about. We brothers often go to Hou Yangmin's braised pork stall to eat, so we are very familiar with him.
You don’t have to sell your wife and children. When we return to Qin Province, we will take your whole family back with us.
But let me be frank with you. If you didn't lie to us, there's nothing more to say. If you dare to lie, your son, daughter and wife will be used as travel expenses." Shopkeeper Han said with a smile, staring at Hou Minyou.
"I'm not lying, Hou Yangmin, Hou Xiaoge is my biological brother and nephew." Hou Minyou said with his chest puffed out.
"Okay, I think Brother Minyou is not lying. Go, get 20 kilograms of cornmeal, 10 eggs, and some medicine for Brother Minyou.
Brother Minyou, you should go back and take good care of your health first. Our caravan will stay here for three days, and we will take you back after three days. "Shopkeeper Han said amiably.
"Okay, okay, thank you, Manager Han, thank you, Manager Han. When we get to Qin Province, I will let my eldest brother thank you properly." Hou Min looked excited, and he pulled his wife and daughter to bow to them continuously.
"hehe!"
Watching Hou Minyou and his family leave, the two leaders of the Yanhuang League were all smiles.
"It should be correct! Although Hou Minyou has a thin face, he still looks a bit like Hou Yangmin.
Shopkeeper Han, if we save the right person this time, Brother Hou will definitely remember our favor.
When the time comes, tell the leader of the alliance that good days are coming for us brothers!" The war hall steward said excitedly.
"Deacon Su, I hope that Brother Hou really has a good relationship with the leader." Shopkeeper Han watched Hou Minyou and his family go away, stroking his half-long beard and said with a mysterious look on his face.
"Gentlemen, what happened to that couple just now? Can you tell us something?" An official from the township office asked curiously.
"Captain Huang, it's okay to tell you, if these two couples didn't lie to us, it's indeed a good thing.
One of the younger generations in their family knows an important figure in our Yanhuang League, so taking them back could indeed be a favor.
Captain Huang, please check whether what they said is true. I hope there won’t be any misunderstanding.
If we get any benefit this time, we will not forget your Hedi Township, and the alliance will also tilt the supplies here, and the price will be more favorable. "Han, the shopkeeper, said with bright eyes, looking at the flattering headman next to him.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Huang. I hope we can interact more often in the future." Captain Huang bowed to the two of them with a happy face.
The reason why Huang Baochang is such a bootlicker is that, on the one hand, the Yanhuang League has a close relationship with the military, so it would be easy for him to be dealt with; on the other hand, the arrival of the Yanhuang League can bring him a lot of benefits. After all, money can move people!
"Boss, hit me, am I dreaming?" Li Cuihua was still confused and dazed on the way back.
"hiss!"
"You damn girl, why are you hitting me so hard! You've broken my arm." Li Cuihua jumped up immediately when she was pinched by her daughter.
"Are you coming to your senses now? It seems that elder brother and Heiwa have made a name for themselves in Qin Province. Our family can live well." Hou Minyou's eyes, which had been filled with the determination to die, were now exceptionally bright.
"Yes! His uncle and Heiwa are really capable. Even the people from the Yanhuang League give them face." Li Cuihua's eyes were almost dying from laughing.
"Humph! You still have the nerve to say that. It's because you are short-sighted. I said that Heiwa is a smart guy and it would be a good idea to follow him, but you insisted on staying.
I can't go to Qin Province with my legs, and I have to drag Heiwa and my elder brother down with me. I feel embarrassed." Hou Min was refreshed and stood up.
"Boss, don't be angry. What do I, a long-haired woman, know?
I will kowtow to them and apologize, as long as our family can be safe and sound." Li Cuihua has always been thick-skinned and did not feel embarrassed.
"Hmph! Look at what you are capable of. You kowtow to Heiwa, and I still complain that you have shortened my nephew's life!" Hou Minyou scolded with a smile.
"Hehe! That kid just won't let me, his second aunt, kowtow, so his life span won't be shortened." Li Cuihua smiled and said shamelessly.
"There's really nothing I can do about you!"
At this time, Hou Xiaoge, who was far away in Qin Province, was eating a melon in the space. Suddenly, he sneezed and crushed the melon.
"Who is thinking about me? So much." Hou Xiaoge muttered to himself, then took out another watermelon and started eating it.
