XLV. Distant Truths

In the Hou Family Hall house, the table of the Eight Immortals is placed: peanuts and sunflower seeds with a fresh fragrance. Sitting around the table: the adults of the Hou family and Lu Jianhua. In front of everyone, there is a cup of tea with chrysanthemum petals floating in it. At the gate of the Hou family's courtyard, the three children were holding the gate of the courtyard and sticking their heads out to look: the adults and Uncle Lu were in the hall, eating peanuts and sunflower seeds, and talking nervously.

Today, the rain is knocking on the window glass like a beautiful and moving music, echoing in the world outside the window for a long time. They were doing their homework and reviewing their homework, and their minds were surging like the waves that were higher than the waves. Then they all looked out the window: the rain as thin as goose feathers and as thick as a needle tip was overwhelmingly eroding the outside world. It's a soul-stealing thing!

After a while, they saw Uncle Lu walk into the hall with a gloomy expression. With just a bag of cigarettes, Dad walked into the study with a solemn expression: the study room reserved for them to do their homework and review their homework. Said urgently: Wenhui, there is no soy sauce, vinegar, or cigarettes at home. You take your younger siblings to the shop and buy a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of vinegar, and a pack of cigarettes.

At that time, Hou Wenhui turned her head to look at her father and said inexplicably: Dad, buy soy sauce, vinegar, and cigarettes, and I can go alone! Younger brothers and sisters, there is no need to ----

Who knows, her father interrupted her words with a wave of his hand, and said with a sinking face: Wen Hui, my younger brothers and sisters are all looking at you. What you urgently need to do now is to "lead by example" and be a good example for them to follow. How can you have a "wrong" attitude towards my words?

Hou Wenhui looked outside, and said in disbelief: Dad, the storm outside is raging and crazy, how can you let your younger brothers and sisters follow me and go out to suffer?

When Dad heard this, he was furious: Don't all of you have raincoats and rubber boots? Wen Hui, your performance today is really too bad! As he spoke, he turned around and rushed out of the room. Looking at her father's back, Hou Wenhui couldn't help muttering: Hey, in the morning, when I was helping my mother pick vegetables in the kitchen, I saw that there were still half bottles of soy sauce and vinegar. At this time, how can there be no soy sauce and vinegar?

However, Dad had already walked to the hall without looking back, and Hou Wenhui knew that it would be absolutely "useless" to say anything. So, she smiled wryly and took their hands, and walked out of the study helplessly. She looked for a raincoat to put on herself and them, and led them to the outside of the courtyard gate.

Hou Wenhui stopped, leaned down to look at them, and explained softly: Younger brothers and sisters, Uncle Lu's expression today is different from when he came to our house in the past. Don't be silent here, but watch carefully. As she spoke, the eldest sister turned around and ran in the direction of the shop. Don't forget to leave a sentence: I'm going to ask you when I come back!

The three children were focused on the hall. But I didn't know: Not long after the eldest sister walked to the fork in the road to the west, a woman rode up to the east end of the road in front of the Hou family, and she saw their actions from afar. She couldn't help muttering: Hey, these three figures are quite like a big child with two children. However, why did they stick their heads out of the gate of the Hou family courtyard in raincoats on a rainy day? Which one are they playing?

Bewildered, the woman quickly rode behind them, got out of the bike and supported the bicycle's feet. However, the sound produced by this series did not alarm the children to look back. The woman was so curious: what were they looking at so intently?

So, the woman couldn't help but follow the children's gaze and look into the hall. At this glance, I saw that in the Hou family hall, Brother Jianhua and all the adults of the Hou family were sitting around the table of the Eight Immortals. They were talking about something, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces.

Seeing this scene, this woman couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart: Oh, Brother Haifeng said that Brother Jianhua hasn't gotten up yet. However, why did he appear here? Why did he use a lie to deal with me? It seems that the cause of the contradiction between Hao Jian and Brother Jianhua is absolutely and absolutely "very strange." I'm going to have to ask!

Thinking of this, the woman walked quickly past the children and walked towards the gate of the Hou family's courtyard. Only then could the exclamations of the children be heard behind her: Hey, this man in a raincoat. Who are you, and why do you come to our house on a rainy day?

The woman turned her head when she heard the voice, this time she turned around. Her heart churned: Hey, these three children turned out to be Hou Wenling, Hou Yaowen, and Hou Yaohua. Then, the words of surprise popped out of her mouth: Oh, why are you guys? Why don't you do your homework at home, what are you doing in your raincoat and picking up the door lump? Are you playing a game of "hide and seek" with your eldest sister?

When the woman turned around, the children of the Hou family finally saw clearly: it was a woman who walked to the courtyard gate. This woman's name is "Cai Yulu", and she is the wife of the villain Uncle Hao. They couldn't help but churn in their hearts: Hey, why did Aunt Cai come to our house on this rainy day? Before they could ask the question in their hearts, Aunt Cai's question had already penetrated into their ears.

Now, in the immature hearts of the three children, it is like "eighteen buckets of water - seven up and eight down": oops, on a rainy day, Dad insisted that we run out in raincoats. This is an extremely abnormal thing, can we tell Aunt Cai? However, if we don't tell the truth, how can we answer Aunt Cai's question? If we don't talk back, will Aunt Cai be angry? Hey, what should we do now?

As the saying goes: people's hearts are separated from their belly, and they know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts. Cai Yulu is just a "mortal" like us, and of course she can't become: a roundworm in the stomach of children. Therefore, it is impossible for her to know: the minds of children. She only knew that the question she asked could not be simpler.

However, in the face of such a problem, the children of the Hou family would snuggle up together and bow their heads and remain silent. From time to time, the two younger brothers looked up at their sister and tugged at her sleeves. Cai Yulu really didn't expect that a question that was not a problem at all turned out to be unanswered. It's incredible that such an ending happened!

Thinking of this, Cai Yulu was puzzled and asked: Oh, why don't you children talk back? Isn't I welcome? As the second sister, Hou Wenling knows that juniors always don't speak when they meet adults. It's definitely rude!

Thinking of this, Hou Wenling raised her head and blurted out: Aunt Cai, we definitely don't welcome you to our house. You must not be suspicious! Speaking of this, Hou Wenling remembered the question in her heart just now. So, she scratched her scalp and asked: Aunt Cai, I almost forgot to ask you, did you come to my house in the rain, is there anything urgent?

Cai Yulu cried and laughed and said: Hey, you didn't answer my question, but asked me a question instead. What a "little clever ghost"! Okay, Auntie won't hide it from you. I'm coming to your house to find someone in a hurry!

Hou Wenling suddenly thought: A few days ago, she and her sisters and brothers were leaning against the door and overheard. She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart: Oh, could it be that Aunt Cai has heard about her mother being harmed by Uncle Hao. She came to our house at this time, probably just to find her mother to "beat a rake" and count those accounts that "cut and tidy up"!

Thinking of this, Hou Wenling's heart beat uneasily. Her eyes stared at Cai Yulu without moving, and asked tentatively: Aunt Cai, who are you looking for? After the words slipped out, her heart churned rapidly: Hmph, I will never let Aunt Cai hurt her mother again! Thinking of this, her hand clenched into a fist in her raincoat. All the nerves in her body tensed immediately. It's as if you're ready to swing your sword and slash your enemy's soldiers!

Cai Yulu's heart at this moment has always been eager to know: Why did Hao Jian and Brother Jianhua get to the point of "old age and death do not get along"? Therefore, she did not pay attention to Hou Wenling's fierce heartbeat. I won't even think about it: what's wrong with Hou Wenling's words. She replied cheerfully, "Oh, I was here to find your father." But for now, all I have to do is find the headmaster. As she spoke, she turned and walked into the courtyard gate.

When Hou Wenling heard this, a heart immediately fell from the throat to the bottom of the heart, and all the nerves in the body immediately loosened and returned to their original positions. However, another terrible thought soon lingered in her heart: Hey, Aunt Cai is in a hurry to find Uncle Lu, does it have anything to do with her father and mother being transferred to work in other places? Oh, this is a very important question. Why didn't I think to ask my aunt just now? Why are our heads so stupid?

Just when Hou Wenling was very annoyed, there was a sound of "poof, poof" footsteps that stopped beside her. Then, a pair of hands shook her eagerly. Then the eldest sister's words of inquiry rushed to her ears: Wen Ling, what's wrong with you? Wen Ling came back to her senses, pointed to the courtyard and said: "Eldest sister, that Aunt Cai is here, and she has already entered the hall.

The two younger brothers also echoed on the side: Well, that Aunt Cai said that she came to find Uncle Lu in an emergency. Hou Wenling took Hou Wenhui's hand and said worriedly: Eldest sister, Aunt Cai is talking to Uncle Lu, will it affect the transfer of father and mother's work?

When Hou Wenhui heard this, she took her sister's hand and said: Aunt Cai is a woman, and women absolutely understand women's grievances. She will never tolerate her husband's "bad intentions"! I firmly believe that when she talks to Uncle Lu about things, she must let Uncle Lu "act in advance." Don't worry about it anymore! Hou Wenling said with palpitations: "Eldest sister, I hope it can be as you say!"

Hou Wenhui glanced at the soy sauce, vinegar, and cigarettes she was holding in her hand, and suddenly patted her head and said: Brothers and sisters, I have already bought back what my father ordered to buy now. In front of Aunt Cai, he will definitely not be able to call us out again. Let's go to the hall together. As she spoke, she took the hands of her younger siblings and turned to run towards the hall.

As soon as Cai Yulu stepped into the hall with her front feet, the discussion in the room stopped abruptly. Everyone got up and gave up their seats with a "sigh", and their faces were full of surprise. She couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart: Oh, look at the expressions on these people's faces, as if I was a "visitor from outside the world". Thinking of this, she glanced into the eyes of the crowd and said, "Oh, hey, what do you mean?"

In fact, how did Cai Yulu know: between her entering the hall, there was a fierce discussion in this room: the strategy to deal with Hao Jian. Of course, no one saw her: she came in through the gate of the courtyard and walked towards the hall. So, before she put her front foot into the hall, no one in the room noticed. When I saw her suddenly, of course, I would have a question in my heart: Oh, Hao Jian harmed Li Yue. She actually braved the rain to come to Hou's house, what did she want?

Li Yue'e looked at Cai Yulu, and her heart was like knocking over the bottle of "oil, salt, sugar, sauce and vinegar", which was sweet and sour. The feeling of grievance in her heart forced her eyes to moisten quickly. So, she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it. Try to control your hurt emotions and don't "merge into a vast ocean" in front of Cai Yulu.

At the same time, Li Yue'e also shouted in her heart: Sister Yulu, how much do you know about what Hao Jian forced me?

Li Yue's emotions were all glanced at by Hou Weidong, who was her husband. One of his hearts hurts as if it was suddenly burned by a knife. Therefore, he just greeted Cai Yulu politely: Sister Yulu, we just didn't expect you to come to my house in the rain. That's all, it's not to snub you. I hope you don't be surprised!

Yan Ruyu's eyes never left Cai Yulu's face, looking at her with her experience as a "head teacher". The words are also quite blunt: Ms. Cai, who are you looking for when you come to my house on a rainy day?

Cai Yulu felt it: Teacher Yan's eyes were vicious, stern, and unfriendly. So, she simply picked out her intention: Teacher Yan, I came to your house because I was in a bit of a hurry to find the principal. I didn't mean to disrupt your conversation!

Lu Jianhua looked at Cai Yulu and thought: My God, should she uncover Li Yue'e's "scars" here. Then, sprinkle a handful of "salt" on it, right? I saw that he said in a panic: Sister Yulu, you are looking for me. Cai Yulu smiled and said, "Brother Lu, can you move and speak?"

Lu Jianhua thought to herself: Could it be that she has heard some rumors about "Hao Jian and Li Yue". Hey, I hope she braved the rain to find me, just to determine who is right and who is wrong! He just wanted to nod his head in agreement, but Yan Ruyu said: Ms. Cai, Jianhua's eldest nephew and my family Weidong have a good relationship. We never treated him as an outsider!

Cai Yulu was extremely moved and said: Hehe, Teacher Yan is so gracious. I heard that there is a contradiction between Hao Jian and Brother Jianhua. I just want to ask Brother Jianhua about the reason for the contradiction. Her words made the adults and children in the hall understand: It turned out that Hao Jian's scourge of Li Yue, as a wife, did not know anything. She was desperate to find Principal Lu, but she thought that Hao Jian and Lu Jianhua had a conflict.

When Lu Jianhua heard this, his heart churned rapidly: Oh, with Yulu's sister's personality, if she knows about it, Hao Jian forced Li Yue. She will definitely go home immediately and "tear her face and make a big fuss" with Hao Jian. She even fainted on the spot! This matter was absolutely not to be told to her. As soon as he thought of this, Hou Wenling's childish voice entered his ears at an inopportune time: Aunt Cai, Uncle Hao is a big villain. He put ----

Lu Jianhua hurriedly interrupted Hou Wenling's words: "Oh, how much can you know about my affairs as a child?" Who knows, as soon as his words landed, Hou's mother Yan Ruyu's words coldly drilled into his ears: Jianhua's eldest nephew, why don't you let her know the truth?

Hou Weidong hurriedly stopped: Hey, my mother, don't say it again. As soon as his words landed, Lu Jianhua decisively turned to Cai Yulu and said: Sister Yulu, the matter between me and Hao Jian should be handled by the two of us alone. Then he turned to Hou Weidong and said, "Weidong, I've been out for a long time." It's time to say goodbye and go home!

As he spoke, he stood up and took Cai Yulu's hand and said, "Sister Yulu, let's go, let's go to our house for a cup of tea." Then, he picked up the raincoat outside the door with one hand, and took her hand with the other hand and walked to the door of the Hou family's courtyard.

Cai Yulu knew very well: Brother Jianhua didn't tell the truth. However, she understands better: no matter what, she has no reason to be in the Hou family, and she insists on forcing Brother Jianhua to say anything. Therefore, she allowed Brother Jianhua to pull herself out of the Hou family's courtyard.

Cai Yulu endured her emotions like this, and returned to the door of Lu Jianhua with Lu Jianhua. As soon as she put down her raincoat and stepped into the door of Lu's house, her eyes widened, she looked at Lu Jianhua, and said puzzledly: Brother Jianhua, in your house, Brother Haifeng lied to me that you are still sleeping in bed. I would like to ask Hou Weidong for clarification.

Speaking of this, Cai Yulu glanced at Chen Haifeng and continued: However, I bumped into you sitting at the table of the Hou family's eight immortals, talking with the Hou family with a gloomy and nervous expression. Brother Jianhua, do you still think that I will believe what you just said in the Hou family? Between you and Hao Jian, what is there that you have to hide from me? Why can't you let me know the truth? Why did you do this? Why?
