Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 394 End
The night in Caogou Village is not only eerily quiet, but also eerily dark. Except for the chirping of insects, the river toad grabs the tail of summer, and its croaking sound is particularly loud in the quiet night.

Village parking lot.

The man put away the camera with satisfaction, took out the stack of banknotes, handed it to Liu Sanmei, changed his friendly smile, and said coldly.

"The money and goods have been cleared. You can leave. I hope you keep this matter in your stomach. It will do no good to anyone if you tell me!"

"I know, you don't need to tell me."

After taking the money, Liu Sanmei also sneered and pulled Lin Shansong, who was eating and drinking, out of the car.

As the car door closed, the man took out his cell phone with a sarcastic expression and dialed the number.

"Soil samples from Caogou Village have been delivered to you by express delivery, as well as vegetable samples, air samples, and water source samples."

"By the way, I just recorded some shady stories about Li Hongbing. If you want more money, I have absolute first-hand information. No bargaining for 10 yuan."

"That's right. I'll pass it on to you right away. Happy cooperation."

After hanging up the phone, the man took out the data cable, connected one end to the camera and the other to his mobile phone, and sent the video of Liu Sanmei accusing Li Hongbing of numerous evil deeds.

the other side.

Liu Sanmei counted the money one by one with her foamy fingers and carefully stuffed it into her arms. Next to her, Lin Shansong said pitifully.

"Mom, I have half of the money. I'll give it to the door bolt, or you'll have to beat me again."

"Go away, this is money for your wife, and it's for the bottomless hole of the door bolt. No amount of money can fill it up."

Liu Sanmei slapped away her son's outstretched palm, tightened the warm banknotes in her arms again, looked at no one around, dragged her son to the roadside drainage ditch, and held her son close to her ear.

"Go quietly and write down the license plate of that car."

"What are you doing? You still need money?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Just go as you are told. Be careful." Liu Sanmei was offended by the question, so she picked up her son's neck and kicked him.

In the darkness, Lin Shansong timidly walked to the parking lot, wrote down the license plate, and ran back in fear.

"Did you remember it?"

"Yeah, remember, Goukunga 699."

"go!"

"go there?"

Liu Sanmei turned around and smiled, with the shrewdness of a rural woman on her face, "Go to Li Hongbing's house!"

What!
Lin Shansong was at a loss and confused. He had just told Li Hongbing that he was not as good as shit, and now he was coming to visit him again.

Thinking of that big tiger, my legs felt weak and my pants were not dry yet.

"Mom, I'm afraid!"

"Look at your worthless appearance. You have the same virtues as your damn father. We went over to report to Li Hongbing. If someone wants to harm him, he can still drive us away."

Go and report the news!
Lin Shansong was completely speechless by his mother. How could a person be so shameless?

Liu Sanmei looked at her son with disgust.

"You know what? Your sister is arguing with me. That's our own business. I can throw her away, scold her, or break her bones and muscles behind closed doors."

"That man is just a bitch, he doesn't take pictures of himself, and he's worthy of me, Liu Sanmei, selling girls. Tell Li Hongbing that he owes us a favor."

High, really high!
Eat both ends, eat both ends.

Lin Shansong's admiration for my mother was so overwhelming.

Li's old house.

The whole family sat under the old oak tree to have dinner. The atmosphere was a little solemn because of Liu Sanmei's sudden visit in the afternoon.

Shan Xing silently held the bowl in a daze, flicking the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks, and the food she was given was cheap to Erhei, who was squatting at her feet.

My mother felt distressed and kicked Li Hongbing under the table.

As soon as he picked up the ribs, before he put them into his mouth, he was kicked out and flew out. Jin Zi jumped in front of Erhei, opened his big mouth to catch the ribs, and swallowed it in one gulp.

I can't eat this meal!

Li Hongbing angrily put the bowl on the table, stood up, and pointed at his pants that were full of footprints.

"Mom, as for having a meal, look at what your pants look like after you kick them."

puff!

Sun Lianqian couldn't help but laugh out loud, leaning forward and backward with laughter.

My mother's eyes widened and she couldn't help laughing, "You are only busy eating, and you don't even look at how your wife is a husband."

After saying that, he muttered to Shan Xing distressedly.

"Myolie, your mother is your mother, and you are you. If you feel uncomfortable, just ask San'er to open a back door for your mother. The worst is that we will never have contact with each other forever. Don't keep things in your heart and hurt your body."

Dad also echoed, "Yes, it's not good to just stand still on this matter. It has to be solved. Otherwise it won't be good for Shan Xing."

"Aunt, I" Shan Xing put down the bowl with tears in his eyes.

"What's your name, aunt? Mom." My mother's eyes widened.

Shan Xing looked up at Brother Hongbing and then at his mother, with tears in his eyes, and shouted shyly.

"mom!"

After shouting, he threw himself into his mother's arms and cried in grievance.

"My daughter, if you don't cry, Mom is here." My mother was so scared that her bones went numb. She hugged Shan Xing to comfort her and glared at Li Hongbing.

"San'er, this matter must be resolved before we get married, otherwise I...I...I will take Xing'er back to the city and starve you to death."

hiss!
Mom, what are you talking about?

Li Hongbing looked at his father, hoping that he would be fair.

Unexpectedly, my father agreed with my mother's decision and even suggested taking Anna back to the city.

Mention Anna?

Only then did Li Hongbing realize that there was no one at home, and the little troublemaker was not at home.

"Hey, where's Anna?"

"Ha, the father finally remembered that he has a daughter!" It seems that with Shan Xing as his daughter-in-law, my mother dislikes this idle young son.

Sun Lianqian, who had laughed enough, quickly came to the rescue of her master.

"Senior Sister is at Cuicui's house. She asked Da Mao to send a message in the afternoon, saying she won't go home at night."

"When I was young, I knew that I would never go home at night, and I wouldn't know who to follow."

After being complained about by the whole family for a long time, Li Hongbing finally found a scapegoat.

"Whoever you want, it's up to you. When you were a kid, you wouldn't go home even if you wore crotchless pants. Your breasts would be whipped with willow sticks and you would cry all the way."

My mother mercilessly uncovered Li Hongbing’s childhood scars.

I can't eat this meal!

Li Hongbing secretly sighed deeply, smiled bitterly, and let his mother count down the bad things he did when he was a child.

at this time.

Doorbell rang.

"I'm going to see who's coming!"

Li Hongbing jumped in front of the access control visual screen mounted on the wall, and frowned as he looked at the person who appeared on the screen.

"Who?" Mom asked.

"Oh, he's a scholar. He probably has something to do with me. I'll go out and have a look."

Li Hongbing didn't tell the truth, turned off the screen, and strode towards the courtyard gate.

Outside the gate of the Li family.

Liu Sanmei stood at the door anxiously. Even though she was so arrogant when she was just taking care of her son, when she really got there, she felt weak.

As footsteps sounded inside the door, the courtyard door opened.

Li Hongbing walked out and said, "Follow me."

There is a camera installed at the door. If Shan Xing sees it, the house will be in a state of panic again.

The three of them came to the grass slope.The moonlight was bright, casting a layer of silver frost over the meadow, and the Qingshui River was filled with dots of silver light.

"Don't you understand that I asked you to leave Caogou Village?" Li Hongbing frowned.

Liu Sanmei mustered up her courage and smiled humbly.

"Well, Hong Bing, you are Myolie's man and my son-in-law. I just met someone who said he wants to harm you. Why don't I come over and tell you right away?"

Harm me?
Li Hongbing only heard these three words.

"Who is it? Tell me clearly."

"What? I said some bad words about you on the stage after dark, and I was driven out of the village by Old Muddle-headed. I was stopped at the entrance of the village by a man who said he wanted to make you look bad, so he pulled Shan Song and I into the car. Asked me something about you."

"I didn't know anything about you, so I made up some random stuff. Then the man took a flashlight to take pictures and let us go."

"I know I acted like a bastard in the past and it was my fault, but if he wants to harm Myolie, he must not do it."

After saying that, Liu Sanmei looked up at Li Hongbing with a guilty conscience.

Lin Shansong next to him was so impressed that he almost gave him a thumbs up.

I'm really good at talking. She didn't say anything important. She just talked nonsense.

"What kind of man is he? Do you remember the license plate?" Li Hongbing nodded and asked.

"It's dark and I can't see clearly. Shansong has written down the license plate. Shansong, please tell me what it is?" Liu Sanmei was secretly happy and quickly pulled Lin Shansong forward.

Ah!
Lin Shansong's eyes widened. He kept thinking about the tiger biting someone and forgot about the license plate.

"I, I. I only remember Goukung Dai."

Hook basket! !

It’s JQK!
How old are you, just remember to play cards!
This license plate is not from Northern Province.

Li Hongbing stretched out his finger and whistled, and soon Dahua ran out of the yard with his younger brothers and sisters.

Pointing at Lin Shansong, Li Hongbing said.

"Dahua, you go with him to the parking lot to find a car. I'll find you at the entrance of the village later."

Woohoo!

Dahua nodded, walked to Lin Shansong, turned around and walked into the night.

Li Hongbing looked at Liu Sanmei with complicated thoughts.

To be honest, I don't intend to forgive this mother and son. Killing them ten times is not an exaggeration for what they did.

But you have to consider Shan Xing's feelings. Although she is kind-hearted and says she won't forgive, she often hides outside in the middle of the night and secretly cries.

Ugh!
If Liu Sanmei confronts her head-on, he has a thousand ways to deal with her, and he can use soft knives.

Hard to do!
"what do you want?"

Liu Sanmei's eyes lit up, knowing that she had made the right bet, and she knelt down and begged.

"I don't ask for Shan Xing's forgiveness. I own the sins I have done. It's just that I have suffered Shan Song. He has been spoiled since he was a child. I'm afraid that if I leave, he won't even have a place to shelter from the rain."

"I just want to go back to Caogou Village, leave my old house to Shan Song, and never have any contact with each other from now on. We each go our own way. When we see Shan Xing, we hide away and promise not to meet each other."

Li Hongbing shook his head, "I will definitely not agree to your moving back to the village, and neither will the people in the village. This is good for you, good for Shanxing, and good for the whole village."

"I" Liu Sanmei raised her head and said sadly, "I really have no choice. If I can't move back to the village, the debt collectors will beat Shan Song to death. Shan Song is my son and the only root of the Lin family!"

Shansong is your son?

What about mountain apricots?

She is still your daughter, and a daughter is not a human being.

Li Hongbing really wanted to shovel away this woman with a serious patriarchal mentality in front of her.

Take a deep breath.

"It's impossible to move back. I can ask the door bolt to cancel Lin Shansong's debt, and I will also pay to build your house. Finally, I will give you a sum of money, and everything will be settled in the future!"

Liu Sanmei trembled, struggling for so long, but in the end there was no hope. The breath in her heart seemed to dissipate, and her body fell limply to the ground.

"Wait a minute. I'll let Shan Xing meet you one last time. From now on, you will no longer have the status of mother and daughter."

Without giving Liu Sanmei a chance to speak, Li Hongbing turned around and walked into the yard.

It's been a long time.

Shan Xing walked out of the courtyard with the support of Li Hongbing and Sun Lianqian.

Liu Sanmei's messy hair became neat, her face was washed with water, and she stood at the door, no longer sarcastic.

The two women looked at each other from afar.

There was indescribable sadness in the silence.

After a while, a bitter smile appeared on Liu Sanmei's face, "Ni'er is still as beautiful as before. Her nose and eyes are just like your father's. Your father also said that you will be able to find a good husband when you are older."

Li Hongbing was stunned for a moment, hearing sincerity and regret in Liu Sanmei's words, rather than shrewd calculation.

Tears welled up in Shan Xing's eyes, and he looked at the old woman in front of him, his vision blurred, as if he had returned to his childhood, when this woman was combing his hair and saying the same words.

"Stop crying, stop crying!"

"My mother did something wrong in the past, but my family is poor. You and your brother, my mother can only support one of you. You can hate your mother, but my mother will not regret it. The mountain pine is the root of the Lin family."

"Live a good life with the Red Soldiers. From now on, you will be born as a member of the Li family and die as a ghost of the Li family. No matter how you have nothing to do with the Lin family, you should just pretend that you don't have me as your mother. We have nothing to do with each other."

After saying these words, Liu Sanmei shed tears and wiped her face with her dirty sleeves.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Live a good life. Remember to burn paper at your father's grave during holidays. He likes to drink Erdaoqu."

After saying that, Liu Sanmei turned around and staggered into the darkness.

Tears flowed silently from Shan Xing's eyes, wetting his clothes. His body trembled as he looked at the disappearing figure.

Pushing Li Hongbing away, Sun Lianqian supported him.

Lihua knelt on the ground with rain, and kowtowed three times in a row. Her tears fell on the stone slab and broke into pieces, blooming like petals, leaving a shallow water mark.

The first thing is to be grateful for the gift of life.

The second head, thank you for your kindness.

The third head, thank you for your upbringing,

After kowtowing three times, they met each other without knowing each other, and they met each other without knowing each other. From then on, they were like strangers.

Liu Sanmei seemed to hear the sound of kowtow. After her footsteps paused for a moment, she continued to stagger toward the darkness.

"Lian Qian, take your master's wife home." Li Hongbing helped Shan Xing, who was crying in tears, and put her into his disciple's arms. "I'm not worried, so I'll go over and see her off."

Oh!
After helping the master's wife, Sun Lianqian was about to return to the courtyard.

Shan Xing grabbed Li Hongbing's hand, her pale lips trembling, unable to say a word.

Li Hongbing saw Shan Xing's worry from his wet eyes.

"It's okay. I'll find a place to settle them tonight and find a car to take them out of the mountain tomorrow. I'll be there for everything."

Shan Xing let go of his hand.

Li Hongbing took the remaining three wolf dogs and chased in the direction Liu Sanmei was walking.

I met Liu Sanmei sitting on the roadside on the way. After letting go of her obsession, her face didn't seem so mean anymore.

As if she already knew that Li Hongbing would come after her, Liu Sanmei stood up and patted the dirt on her pants.

"Let's go, I will take you to find that grandson!"

"What are your plans for the future?" Li Hongbing asked softly.

Liu Sanmei paused, looking at the dim street lights on the mountain road, with a hopeful smile on her lips.

"In the future? Let Shan Song stop gambling, farm hard, become a mother-in-law, and give birth to a grandson. I'm old and can't walk anymore. Today is the last time I go into the mountains."

"Don't tell me, I haven't noticed it before. These ravines are so beautiful."

The dim street lamp shone on Liu Sanmei's body, reflecting her rickety shadow, which slowly lengthened and blurred.

　The story of Shan Xing is barely complete here. She is a gentle, virtuous, simple, and very rural little woman.Liu Sanmei, I have thought about many solutions, but no matter how I solve them, I can't get over the hurdle in Shan Xing's heart.Although it is better to live than to raise, after all, they share the same blood and not recognizing each other may be the best ending.
