Mu Huagui

Chapter 42
When Chunhua returned home, she saw that the packages she had just packed were scattered all over the ground, and the luggage was thrown all over the yard. Then she saw that the steward was looking through her own things, and her father-in-law stood silently at the gate of the yard protecting her son.The husband was dragged by two other families in the yard to prevent him from coming forward to conflict with the steward.

"What's the matter, the head of the house, what's the matter." Chunhua rushed to pick up the things on the ground, only to find that the better clothes and some jewelry inside were all caught by the steward.

Seeing that the things were almost picked up, the steward glanced at Li Lu contemptuously, and said gruffly, "What about yours? I value you by ordering something. Hmph, get out of here, and walk by yourself after a while without getting in the car."

Li Lu broke away from the neighbor, turned around and rushed towards the steward who had already left the yard. Chunhua screamed, threw the things in her hand, hugged Li Lu from behind, and cried, "Master, if you don't care about me, you still have to pay me back." Take care of the kids."

Li Dafeng led the child forward, seeing his thin body and eager eyes, Li Lu sighed, loosened his clenched fist, and said, "Mother, pack up quickly, the carriage is outside. It's not just our family."

The family quickly gathered together the luggage that had been thrown all over the yard, and there were already urging sounds from the carriage outside.Just like this, the family left the place where they had lived since they were young with simple to shabby luggage. Looking at the strange scenery outside the carriage, Chunhua instinctively hugged her son tightly.It seems that the only way to support yourself will not fall.

When she arrived at Zhuangzi, looking at the dilapidated houses and the thatched beds, Chunhua burst into tears.On the other hand, his son was well-behaved and sensible, and helped her wipe away tears, and whispered, "Mother doesn't cry, Xiang'er is not afraid of the cold, nor is she afraid of living in a dilapidated house."

Li Dafeng asked for two quilts from Zhuangtou, and when he carried them to the door, he choked up when he heard his grandson's words, and went into the room and said, "It's me, the old man, who dragged you down."

"Father..." Li Lu said impatiently, "You have said this several times. What does it have to do with you? It's all a good thing done by the old man and the Lin family. We have hands and feet, and I still have the strength to not be hungry." to yours."

"Father, what the child's father said is that I still have..." Chunhua suddenly remembered the reward given by the lady before leaving, and hurriedly took it out of her arms. This is the only property of their family now.

"How come there are so many." Li Dafeng took the two pieces of broken silver in his purse in surprise, thinking about it, it could be exchanged for five or six hundred copper coins.

"Ah, why is it silver? It was rewarded by the young lady. Miss, she also said that we will go out with her in the future." Chunhua didn't expect that the purse was not copper coins but silver, and she stuttered for a while.

"What, then how did you answer, did you promise?" Li Lu blurted out.

"No, no, I'm a woman, how dare I make decisions for you gentlemen." Chunhua looked at Li Lu timidly.

"You, alas, Miss is our Xiang'er's savior, of course I have to agree, it's over, it's over, if you say that, Miss may think of our family, and think of us as ungrateful things." Li Lu felt a little resentful Looking at the people in his room with iron and steel, he kept sighing.

"Miss really said that." Li Dafeng wondered, he was different from his son and daughter-in-law, the son and daughter-in-law had never served the master before, their thinking was simple, and they didn't understand the affairs of these nobles.

But he was a long-term follower by the elder's side, and he was still very popular at that time.He knew in his heart that the family members Miss would bring with her when she went out were either the assistants of the housekeeper or the director, or those who could manage the shop or farm outside.

I have never heard of asking a family who only did rough work to be a companion. Thinking of Xiang'er's illness, Li Dafeng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be... no, no, that girl should have eighteen years of age if she was alive. Nine years old, impossible.

But how to explain it, Li Dafeng instinctively felt that this matter was related to the murder case ten years ago, but he couldn't find any evidence.He could only shake his head to drive these things out of his mind, and seeing his father shaking his head, Li Lu said, "Dad thinks what I said is wrong, shouldn't I agree."

"Yes, it should. Next time there is a chance, Xiang'er's mother must tell the young lady that our family is willing to go with the young lady." Li Dafeng looked at his simple-minded son and his extremely smart grandson.He knew in his heart that the Elder Master didn't want to see him more and more.

The reason why he was kept alive was because he didn't know the real inside story, let alone evidence, otherwise Mr. Yi would never let him go.

It's better to leave the Chen Mansion as soon as possible, at least his son and grandson won't be dragged down by him anymore.It doesn't matter if it's on Zhuangzi, at least it's far away from the old man, so there's no need to worry about getting in the way of anyone that day.

Chunhua carried the firewood to cook, and Li Xiang was exhausted after sitting in the carriage for a long time, so Li Lu put him on the bed to sleep.The two elders just got up to ask around when they heard an exaggerated voice. "Oh, my big brother, when did you come to the village, it's easy for us to find this meal." A man in a silk forged robe walked in with a big belly, followed by a man in gold and silver. woman.

Li Dafeng snorted coldly, and almost pronounced through his nose, "I can't afford you, big brother. If there is anything that shopkeeper Lin needs, just send someone to give instructions. Why did you come in person?"

"Hehe, look at you, my relatives are getting up, isn't it because of Xiang'er. It's really not that I don't help you, it's the old man who has been ignoring me, and the old lady doesn't want to see our family. That hole, we are also powerless."

Shopkeeper Lin didn't see anyone else, and entered the house by himself without being invited, and when he saw the child asleep, he turned and said to the woman, "Go and talk to Xiang'er's mother, we gentlemen sit in the yard."

Back in the yard, there were no benches, and shopkeeper Lin also imitated them and sat on the steps in front of the house.It's just that his stomach is too big. When he sat down, he fell on his back. If Li Lu hadn't pulled him, he might have rolled three times on the ground.

"You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you don't have anything to do. Tell me, brother can help you if you have anything to do." Li Dafeng sneered.

Pretending not to hear the sarcasm in Li Dafeng's words, shopkeeper Lin laughed and said, "Second cousin, I heard that the third lady in the mansion suffers from the same illness as Xiang'er..."

"What nonsense." Before the other party finished speaking, Li Dafeng interrupted him, saying, "Third Miss just has typhoid fever, and because the root cause was not treated, it recurred again, and finally hurt her vitality. The doctor said that she would rest for a year or so. .”

"Second cousin, you don't have to lie to me. These are all made up by the eldest lady to deceive people. Who doesn't know that Miss San's illness will never recover." Shopkeeper Lin's greasy face, the shiny fat followed his proud expression. Trembling and trembling.

"It's all about the inner house, how could we know." Li Dafeng didn't know why shopkeeper Lin rushed to the village from the city to ask himself these things.No matter what, Third Miss is not something he should discuss.

"Second cousin, don't pretend. I've already inquired about it. If it wasn't for some wrongdoing, why would I send you to Zhuangzi?"

Seeing shopkeeper Lin's smiling face, Li Dafeng held his breath and said, "Hmph, if it's really a murder, how could your family be missing."

"Hey, from what you said, I haven't done anything. Our family's escape from water robbers means that we have been blessed by the Bodhisattva. Others... that's what they deserve, and we can't blame others." Shopkeeper Lin After finishing speaking, he touched the peace amulet hanging around his neck, not paying attention at all.

"You..." Li Dafeng stood up with a livid face and said, "Okay, I don't welcome you here, let's go."

"Hey, second cousin, what are you doing..." Shopkeeper Lin, who was about to speak, saw his mother-in-law approaching with a smile on her face, so she stopped talking, groaned twice, and went without saying hello Get into the carriage at the door.

After patting his son to wake him up and feeding him a bowl of hot porridge, Li Lu said to Chunhua in a buzzing voice, "Then what did the mother-in-law of the Lin family say to you?"

"Just to ask about Xiang'er's illness." Chunhua poured porridge for her father-in-law and said.

"You said everything." This time it was Li Dafeng who asked the question.

"I said..." Looking at the faces of her father-in-law and her husband, Chunhua stopped what she was doing, "What's wrong, can't you tell me?"

"It's okay." Li Dafeng said after stopping what Li Lu wanted to say, "Everyone knows about this, and we can't hide it from anyone. Let's just say it. The Lin family is probably planning something else."

The next day, the eldest lady fell down and sat down in the Jinhua residence, clutching her chest, and pointed at the woman who was still eloquent in front of the old lady. She was dressed in a rose gold red dress and had a long pink and white face. , a pair of thin lips are fluttering up and down.

"That's enough, see off the guests." The old lady closed her eyes halfway, interrupted what she was saying, and served tea to see off the guests.

"Old Madam, Da Madam, I haven't finished my words yet. The young master of the Lin family, I have grown up since I was a child, and I am really very motivated. Don't think you are a scholar now. You may be the number one scholar in the next scientific examination. Lang, when the time comes, I will give your young lady a job." Seeing the old lady's face getting colder and colder, the woman felt a little timid.But touching the ten taels of silver in the silver seal in his sleeve, thinking of the rumors outside, he mustered up his courage again, and said something cracklingly.

"You also have to think about it. The third lady is in poor health. How can she go to a wealthy family to take care of the housework. The Lin family is different. The population is simple, the in-laws are young, and they can take care of the third lady. How to say, it is also very affordable a family affair."

The eldest lady couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and put a bowl of tea on the woman's face, the tea mixed with the soup hit the woman's face, making her yelp in fright.

"Get out" the lady pointed at the woman, the women on both sides saw this, without waiting for the woman to speak, one left and one right stepped forward to hold her, twisted her and dragged her outside.

"Mother, Qi Luo is sick, but people can't be humiliated like this, mother..." The eldest lady went to the old lady and kept crying.
