"Phew-" Old Uncle Zhong shouted in a long voice, and the joy in the shouting was flying.

Liu Wanyi lifted the curtain and looked outside, this road can suffocate people, the old Uncle Zhong always warned that there was a shortage of soldiers outside, refugees along the way were in trouble, and it was not uncommon for bandits to mix in the crowd and take the opportunity to rob, telling everyone not to run around and look around, and obediently curled up in the carriage along the way, he and the coachman hurried away.

Qian'er and Chang'an are naturally very obedient, but Liu Wan has become wilted since the dumb aunt left, and he can no longer lift his spirits, so everyone is bored in the car along the way.

"It's home!" Liu Wan shouted, his voice finally bursting out and cheerful.

As he spoke, he jumped out of the carriage and staggered to the door.

Behind them, Qian'er and Chang'an got out of the car with their baggage.

There were a few people gathered at the gate of the Liu family, and it was idle in winter, and everyone was sitting idle and talking about family life.

When I looked up, I saw a boy running quickly, shouting: "Old Grandpa Qiao, Uncle Yu, Brother An, Brother Xiao Huizi, I'm back!"

Lao Qiao at the gate, Uncle Yu at the second gate, Brother An from the carriage and horse shop, and Xiao Huizi from the front hall, all stood up with brushes, and Lao Qiao shouted first: "Ah, isn't this our Brother Wan, you, you have changed a lot?"

"I've grown taller, and I've gained weight!" shouted Brother An.

Xiao Huizi was the happiest, and greeted him, "Brother Wan, is it really you? You look very strong, just like in the past." ”

Later, Uncle Zhong smiled and threw the reins of the horse to Brother An, and walked towards Lao Qiao: "Old thing, I haven't seen you for almost a year, and you are still so tough-you haven't been arrested as a soldier to eat artillery fire?"

The two coachmen who went out together that day and are now coming back together are also smiling, they are wearing new clothes, and they are carrying a sum of money in their pockets.

Someone had already reported the news into the gate.

Liu Dingmao happened to be at home, and ran out in person when he heard it.

"Brother Zhong, you can be regarded as coming back - like a horse that will get off the leash this time, I can't control it anymore, I can only receive letters from you, and I can't see it! This war is getting worse day by day, and I am anxious about you in my heart, and I will come back if I can't think of it!"

Liu Dingmao shouted in his mouth, looked up, Lao Zhong, standing in front of him with a smile, the two coachmen were also there, and Qian'er was also there, but there was also a lack of the fourth aunt and Lan Sui, Lan Cao, Shen'er, and the child daughter-in-law and dumb aunt, she was not there?

"Brother Wan, I haven't seen the master yet. "Qian'er left her burden and went to pull Liuwan.

After Liu Wan and Xiao Huizi finished their affectionate words, they ran over and plunged into Liu Dingmao's arms, "Dad-"

Liu Dingmao was so frightened that he only trembled, "Slow down, you slow down - this kid!"

Liu Wan stood up and patted his chest: "Master thinks I'm still the same Liu Wan who falls down when he sees the wind and has convulsions at every turn? Hehe, it's not been a long time ago, I'm cured, my illness is all cured!

Where is Liu Dingmao willing to fight, his big hand touched his son's forehead, and then checked his demeanor and complexion, and found that the child has grown taller, and it is obviously a little stronger than in the past, and the most important thing is that there is a lively breath on the little face, a pair of eyeballs are rolling around, with the brilliance that only a healthy child can have, and the listlessness and dementia in the eyes in the past can no longer be seen.

Really good?!

The people at the gate who heard the news came over in a big circle, and everyone looked at Liu Wan with curiosity, surprise, inquiry, and disbelief.

How nice is this kid?

The illness is so serious, after going out for nearly a year, can it get better? Is it a miracle doctor or a god?

How can such a serious illness be so easy to get better?

At this time, Liu Wan stopped smiling, with a small face, his eyes were round, his eyes were single, and he looked at everyone one by one, and the Yanran who appeared in front of everyone's eyes was still the Wan Ge'er who had often suffered from illness before.

Someone began to shake his head, who said that this child's illness is cured, look at it, it is still the same, this trip to the far door seems to be in vain. The old man who also lost listened to the words of the little boy's daughter-in-law, and sent both people and cars to personally escort him to find what mother's tower to pray for.

Liu Wan suddenly grinned at everyone, a big smile bloomed on his little face, and shouted: "My illness is cured - I haven't been sick for three months!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms, kicked his legs, and looked at everyone with a grin. Distinctly a healthy child who is both naughty and lively.

Liu Dingmao was excited, couldn't help but have sour eyes, and grabbed Lao Zhong's arm, "It's all the credit of the old brother, you have worked hard-"

Old Uncle Zhong waited for the old man's mood to calm down before coughing, "The old slave doesn't dare to take credit." Brother Wan'er's condition has improved, and God has opened his eyes and the Bodhisattva blessed. Second, you have to thank someone, sir. If it weren't for her, she would have taken all of us all the way to toss, bumps, and hardships, and she often stayed up all night without sleep in order to prepare medicinal materials, and no one knew what Brother Wan'er would be like today!"

Liu Dingmao looked up at the crowd, there were several fewer people in the crowd, and there was a strange little girl, it was Chang'an.

He naturally knew that there was no Zhang master and servant in the crowd, and there were two little maids in Lancao and Shen'er, and in addition, there was obviously a lack of child daughters-in-law in the crowd.

"What about her?" he was a little surprised.

Liu Wan's originally smiling little face was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows drooped, his small mouth pouted, and said: "Stinky woman, she is gone-I have taken a break, and I don't keep the woman's way and run around, such a woman, our Liu family can't want it." ”

Liu Dingmao was a little surprised, looking at the crowd in front of him who had just returned together, Chang'an and Qian'er's eyes were red, and Uncle Zhong also nodded: "The reason for this, the old slave is a little clearer, it is indeed our Brother Wan who wrote a letter to others." So the people left. ”

Liu Dingmao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What are you children messing about, you think you are playing at home, you will let your wife go, how can that dumb aunt be ignorant, people will let go, you really go, why don't you come back to see me, I am the father, I have the final say in this family, when will it be Wan'er's turn to be the master of the house?"

Liu Dingmao just complained a few times, and suddenly saw that Old Uncle Zhong was looking at him, and nodded to him slightly, Liu Dingmao's heart moved, so he didn't investigate the matter in front of everyone, and waved his hand: "Since everyone is back, it's a good thing, go out safely, return smoothly, Brother Wan'er's illness is also cured, this is a great thing! Go and tell the kitchen, let's prepare a table of meals tonight, and everyone eat, drink, eat and drink." ”

Liu Wan didn't jump up and cheer when he heard the delicious food, but pouted lightly to Qian'er, "Where did you say the stinky woman is now? You won't be bullied, right? Do you have food to eat? You won't be hungry, right?"

Qian'er was confused, "I guess I won't bully, our little grandmother is so smart, generally as long as she doesn't bully people, people don't dare to bully her." ”

Liu Wan became happy at this time, "That's it, the stinky lady is really not a person who can be bullied casually - it's just that she is alone outside, and there is no you to serve her, and without my protection, I am still quite uneasy." ”

Qian'er quietly stuck out her tongue, "Brother Wan, do you think that little grandma really needs your protection? Can you really protect her? In the days we went out, you really protected her?"

Liu Wan was speechless for a moment, and his eyes were round with anger, this shallow child didn't see it, Xiao Nizi followed her little grandmother to make a big difference, and dared to sneer at him?

When he entered the gate and turned the screen, Liu Dingmao suddenly stopped his steps and looked at Liu Wan, "Go and meet your mother, she is sick in bed-" I originally wanted to say that she kept talking about you after you left, but when the words came to my mouth, I remembered that in fact, after Liu Wan left, the eldest lady Chen never seemed to have spoken, and Liu Dingmao was embarrassed to tell this lie.

When Liu Wan heard the mention of his mother, his expression suddenly froze, and the person who was originally arguing with Qian'er had his head drooped, but he didn't dare to show it obviously, and nodded respectfully to Liu Dingmao: "Okay, Wan'er will go." ”

Liu Dingmao had something to say to Lao Zhong, so he took Lao Zhong and hurried into the study.

Liu Wan stood under the screen, his footsteps were sluggish, and he looked up at the picture of the pine crane carved on the screen, this brick carving technique is really good, and the white crane seems to be about to flutter its wings and fly. Liu Wan suddenly shook his arm, stuck out his tongue to himself, made a grimace, made up his mind, made up his mind with a serious face like an adult, and strode towards the middle courtyard.

In the middle courtyard, Lan Mei had already told the eldest lady the news of the return of Liu Wan and others.

"Are they all back? Wan'er is well? How is this possible, she is so sick that it is difficult to go out for a walk? That little girl is really capable-" Chen seemed to be unwilling to believe it, muttering, but there was not the slightest joy on her face, "You send people to inquire more, to see what they are talking to the master?" Also, who is going to see the child daughter-in-law in each house and courtyard!"

In order to be safe, Lan Mei went to check in person, and she rushed back to the middle courtyard before Liu Wan, "Brother Wan is really good, it's completely like a different person, the master is very happy." Lancao and Shen'er did not come back, saying that they stayed in the newly opened store outside, and Hu Ma and the others did not come back, as if they had been sold. The fourth aunt and Lan Sui did not come back, saying that they would bury the fourth lady next to a very effective tower, and then the fourth aunt and Lan Sui became nuns and never came back, and they had to guard the grave of the fourth lady year after year, and at the same time pray for our family to accumulate virtue and bless everyone with peace and security. ”

Lan Mei was a little proud that she could inquire about so much news in one go. These days, the eldest lady is not in good health and is in a worse mood, so the people in the middle courtyard have not had a good life, and today it is finally Wan Ge'er back, Lan Mei thinks that this must be good news for the eldest wife, didn't the eldest lady love Wan Ge'er the most in the past, and the fourth aunt will never come back It is also a good thing for the eldest wife, after all, there is one less woman in this courtyard who is jealous of the eldest lady.

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady didn't seem to be moved at all, but opened her eyelids and asked lazily, "What about her, she should be the most proud person this time!" Wan'er's illness has cured, which means that the method she proposed at the beginning has worked, and she has cured the master's eldest son, so she has made a great contribution in front of the master, and she has not put forward any conditions to the master, right?"

Lan Mei was a little surprised, she was surprised by the cold reaction of the eldest lady. At the same time, he also faintly noticed that when they came back, Brother Wan was well, and these things could not make the eldest lady happy.

Why is the eldest lady upset?

Lan Mei thought about it and understood, because the child in the eldest lady's belly was gone, alas, thinking about it, it should be this reason, she finally got pregnant, she was looking forward to giving birth to a big fat boy, but she didn't expect to have a miscarriage in the end, and now even Brother Wan is fine, everyone is doing well, only the eldest lady is unsatisfactory here.

Originally, Lan Mei had thought thousands of times in her heart that the eldest lady could conceive because of the treatment of the dumb aunt, and now as long as the dumb aunt comes back and recuperates the eldest lady, maybe she can get pregnant again. But the child daughter-in-law didn't come back.

Lan Mei could only tell the truth to the eldest lady: "She didn't come back, saying that our Brother Wan wrote a letter to release his wife and divorced her." ”

Chen's eyes widened, "What?

At the door, Liu Wan walked in slowly, but he was not very close, nor did he throw himself into Chen's arms like before, he just stood timidly and shouted, "Mother, I'm back." I divorced her, she was not a good woman, a little woman from a poor tenant family, stingy, not suitable to be a daughter-in-law for people like us. ”

"What did you say?" Chen sat up.

Liu Wan was not afraid, and nodded: "Dumb aunt, I divorced her." ”

"Wan'er—come here—" Chen shouted.

Liu Wan approached. The face is calm. In fact, his palms were covered with sweat.

"Smack-" As expected, a slap was firmly slapped in the face.

Liu Wan didn't cry, he didn't cry out in pain, he slowly retreated away and bowed to Chen: "Mother, Wan'er has grown up and is a man, Wan'er thanks her mother for her nurturing grace to Wan'er over the years, but letting go of his wife is Wan'er's own business, I hope my mother will not interfere." ”

After speaking, he didn't stop or look at Chen, turned around and strode out of the middle courtyard.

Behind him, Chen slowly fell asleep, trembling with anger, and shouted, "This is the white-eyed wolf I fed—"
