Chapter 52: Jealousy
Zhou Ping'er tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "That silver may be insignificant to you, but for us, it is a life-saving straw." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info whether you remember it or not, I will accept your kindness. ”
Hua Lianyue looked at Zhou Ping'er's immature but stubborn face and sighed secretly. It's just a girl as big as herself, but her thin shoulders have borne too much suffering, and she has to work hard to maintain the strength on her face, but the fragility and sadness in her eyes can't be concealed at all.
Zhou Ping'er hugged her knees and quietly stared at the orange flames that were burning more and more. The light of the fire reflected her dark eyes, like two small flames burning.
Hua Lianyue was quietly by her side and didn't say a word.
"Ping'er, Ping'er!"
A teenager's whispered call shattered the silence.
Hua Lianyue followed the prestige, but saw that at the half-collapsed earthen wall of the Zhou family, a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old wearing an old sheepskin jacket was looking around.
This young man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick lips and a high nose, and the skin on his face is black and red. Although his figure is not very tall, the muscles in his arms are bulging, and a little force can almost break the leather jacket, and he looks very strong and powerful.
A thought quickly flashed through Hua Lianyue's mind: Could this be the Wei family kid?
As soon as Zhou Ping'er saw this young man, the strength and calm on her face were instantly broken. She jumped up in a panic and whispered close to the wall, "What are you doing here?
"Who is he?" the young man ignored her, staring at Hua Lianyue who also stood up from the fire pond with a pair of eyes, his eyes full of vigilance and violence. It's like a lone wolf who has been robbed of his beloved, and his wildness is revealed.
Zhou Ping'er bit her lip, turned her face sideways and refused to look at him, but said coldly: "Who is she and what do you have to do with it? ”
The pain of the injury flashed in the young man's eyes, but he still said stubbornly: "If you don't tell me who he is, I won't leave today." ”
"You ......" Zhou Ping'er was miserable, and her eyes gradually turned red.
Hua Lianyue was stunned for a moment, and looked down at her clothes, which was a comfortable men's long cotton robe, and a few black lines appeared on her forehead.
Hua Lianyue walked quickly to Zhou Ping'er's side, raised her head and looked at the young man, and said provocatively: "Actually, I can tell you who I am, but can you answer me a few questions?"
"You ask!" The tyrannical aura in the young man's eyes instantly skyrocketed.
Hua Lianyue really didn't expect that one day she would have to face the jealousy of a teenager. Looking at his clenched fists against the wall, she had no doubt that if she was standing in front of him at this moment, he would definitely punch him without hesitation.
She hurriedly took a few steps back. Well, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, does that mean the current situation?
Standing in a safe position, Hua Lianyue snickered viciously, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said slowly: "Are you surnamed Wei?"
The young man straightened his chest and said proudly: "Your young master will not change his name or change his surname, it is his surname Wei Hongguang." ”
"Wei Hongguang, this is a good name" Hua Lianyue nodded and continued to ask: "Let me ask you, didn't you divorce Zhou Ping'er, and what did you sneakily come to her?"
"This is my business with Ping'er, don't worry about it! I tell you, Ping'er will not marry me in this life, you better stay away from her. If I see you pestering her again, I'll beat you so much that you don't even know your parents. ”
"Oops!" Hua Lianyue was never afraid of being intimidated. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly leaned over Zhou Ping'er's delicate cheek and kissed her, and then proudly provoked: "Not only did I pester her, I also kissed her, what can you do?"
"I'm going to kill you!" Wei Hongguang's two thick eyebrows instantly stood up, and he punched the earthen wall, which was already inadvertently solid, and was instantly shaken off a cloud of dust. His teeth were gritted, and his red eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion.
Zhou Ping'er was frightened by his fierce anger, and after being stunned for a moment, she stammered and explained: "You, don't mess around, she is a woman like me, and she is a catcher in the yamen." This time I'm here for my brother's business, not what you think. ”
"Woman?" Wei Hongguang, who was on the verge of going berserk, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and looked at Hua Lianyue carefully.
Hua Lianyue smiled and let him see, although she liked to dress as a man for the convenience of her movements, she never deliberately concealed her feminine characteristics. As long as you are delicate, you can see it at a glance.
The tyrannical aura in Wei Hong's eyes quickly dissipated. He no longer paid attention to Hua Lianyue, who was in the way, and only beckoned to Zhou Ping'er: "Ping'er, come here, I have something to say to you!"
Zhou Ping'er quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Hua Lianyue, then stomped her foot angrily and said, "You go! ”
Wei Hongguang also glared at Hua Lianyue fiercely, hating her for having no eyes, like a wooden pestle there, refusing to move. also put on a hateful expression.
Hua Lianyue made it clear that she wanted to listen to the corner, and Wei Hongguang didn't dare to delay any longer, so she hurriedly said: "Ping'er, I know about your brother, it is estimated that your family is in urgent need of silver expenses." I have some silver here, which I earned during this time by making a batch of horseshoes for the Qingzhou military camp, and you take it for emergency purposes first. When your family's affairs are over, I will let my father and mother come to your house to propose. You remember, you don't have to rush when something big happens, I'll help you carry it. ”
As soon as the words fell, a bulging purse flew in from outside the wall and fell right in front of Zhou Ping'er's feet. After Wei Hongguang finished explaining, he was afraid that Zhou Ping'er would refuse his kindness, so he immediately slipped away, jumped off the wall, and ran away quickly.
"You wait!" Zhou Ping'er was anxious and hurriedly chased after him, but unfortunately she only saw his back gradually disappearing.
Hua Lianyue stepped forward and picked up the purse, put it in her hand and checked it, at least more than ten taels of silver. This silver may not be anything to the rich, but for ordinary people, it is enough for the normal expenses of the family for two years.
Hua Lianyue raised her head and saw that Zhou Ping'er was also looking at the purse in her hand. She handed it over casually: "Take it, it's a piece of people's hearts." ”
"I don't want it, I don't want ......" Zhou Ping'er shook her head fiercely, her calloused hands were twisted together, and her reddened eyes stared at the purse in Hua Lianyue's hand. It was as if it was not the silver that everyone loved, but a beast that could bite.
"Why don't you?"
"I don't want it, I don't want it!" Zhou Ping'er bit her lip and shook her head stubbornly, her eyes were moist, and her tears were about to come out.
The water in the copper kettle began to rattle, and white smoke came out of the spout. Zhou Ping'er hurriedly rushed over and hurriedly picked it up. "Wait!" Fortunately, Hua Lianyue's eyes quickly blocked her, otherwise she would be upset, and she didn't know if she would hurt herself.
