Chapter 15: Plans in Calculations
On the official road outside the south gate of the capital, on a dilapidated cart, a female corpse with a bruised face was wrapped in a broken grass mat, and it was a green mark when you looked closely. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Sitting next to the lean man who was driving the car in front of him was Mama Li from Ye Mansion.
"It's really unlucky, how did you get such an unlucky errand, but fortunately, Mrs. gave a lot of silver taels, and it was not worth the trip." Mama Li whispered to herself, and flipped the purse on her waist, the weight was really not light.
I thought of the explanation of the eldest lady before leaving, how can the countrymen understand these ways. I made a lot of money this trip.
Out of the official road, the road became rugged, and Mama Li, who was upside down, was about to fall apart with her old bones, and only arrived at a village that was not very large in size when it was just dark. Eventually stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched hut.
Mama Li got out of the car, moved her body, stepped forward and buckled the door: "Is anyone there?" ”
"Who?" A vicissitudes of life sounded, accompanied by the sound of Suosuo, and with a squeak, two dilapidated wooden doors opened.
The old woman looked curiously at the neatly dressed grandmother in front of her and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Thinking that there were no such rich relatives in his family, there was a trace of respect in his tone.
"Old sister, you are Wang Cuihua's mother!" Mama Li said affectionately, holding the old woman's hand affectionately, and said enthusiastically.
The old woman didn't react for a while, and looked at Mama Li cautiously. Suddenly, I thought that Wang Cuihua was not sold to the daughter of Ye Mansion in order to beg for food during the war more than ten years ago.
When I think about it here, I have an inexplicable ominous premonition in my heart, no wonder my right eyelid has been beating non-stop a few days ago. On the other hand, he turned sideways and invited Mama Li into the house.
"Yes, Cuihua is my daughter. Who are you? The old woman sat down with Mama Li, took a bowl with a gap very stiffly, rinsed it with hot water a few times, and handed it to Mama Li. Say, "Drink some water." ”
Mama Li looked at the water that was still floating with oil stains, and after holding it in her hand, she immediately put it aside. With slightly red eyes and choked up, she said, "Old sister, I came here today because I have something to discuss with you." You're going to have to hold on. ”
When the old woman saw Mama Li behaving like this, she didn't realize that her eyes were red, and she said helplessly: "It's already like this, how bad can it be." As he spoke, he looked around and pointed to the thatched hut where the wind was blowing everywhere.
"Green marks, oh no, the emerald flowers are gone!" Mama Li is used to calling green marks, and she hasn't changed it for a while.
"What?" The old woman collapsed on the ground and began to cry. Shaped like a madwoman.
Mama Li hurriedly pulled up the old woman who was sitting on the ground and said, "It was originally a girl who was sold to Yefu, whether she lived or died, it was all from Yefu." It's just that the girl with the green mark has followed her wife since she entered the house, and she has been doing her best for so many years. It is also the heart of my wife's bodhisattva, thinking that although the green mark is not clear. It's also a master and servant. So I begged the old man for permission to let the slave send the body of the green mark back. As he spoke, he recited Amitabha.
The old woman was out of breath crying, and when she heard these words, she struggled and ran out. When he saw the green marks on the cart, he also pounced on it sincerely, crying: "My poor girl........"
Mama Li hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, and shed a few more tears with her.
"Thank you, Lady, for your grace. Thank you for your grace. It's just that I just heard my grandmother say that my daughter's departure is not clear. Please also ask Mama to say that although we are poor and lowly people, we can't let our daughter die outside without knowing it! The old woman said, wiping her tears from her eyes.
The father with green marks on the side was a skinny old man who only lowered his head and smoked a dry cigarette. Years of farm work have given wrinkles like knives.
"Old sister. Green Mark has followed our wife since she entered the house, Xiao Nizi is smart and smart, and she is steady and active, so she is a noble person in front of our wife. It's just that in the autumn, there is a fourth lady back from our house, and the lady is also kind, thinking that these four young ladies have grown up outside, and now they have just entered the house, I am afraid that they are not used to it. That's when he pointed to the powerful green marks to serve. I don't want something like this to happen in just a few months......." Mama Li said, wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"What a sin. What a girl. How can you bear it? I didn't have a good piece of land on my body! Mama Li followed up and said.
As he spoke, he took out another ingot of silver, stuffed it into the old woman's hand, and said, "Madame thinks about the fate of the master and servant, and thinks that if she hadn't pointed the green mark to serve the fourth lady, she would not be in this situation now. Madame, you can accept this little bit of affection and do a good job for Cuihua. ”
He sighed deeply and said, "Hey, who let us be slaves!" Old sister, let's accept our fate. Then he looked at the old woman's face. I was very satisfied and said that I was going to say goodbye and go back to Yefu to resume my life.
The old woman thanked Mama Li for going out, and only then did she return to the house when she could no longer see the carriage in the distance.
Shortly after returning to the house and sitting down, the door was pushed open. The young man, covered in alcohol, shouted, "Mother, I'm hungry. Hurry up and get me something to eat. ”
This is the only seedling of the old Wang family, named Wang Xuezhi, who has been arrogant since he was a child. Now it's more than 20 years old, but I have never been married, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all here, and I spend all day drinking outside. Over the years, I am also glad that Green Marks has helped a lot of my family openly and secretly, and this life has passed. Now this cash cow has broken its roots.
Wang Xuezhi, who was drunk and hazy, suddenly saw a silver ingot on the table, and immediately pounced with his eyes shining and put the silver in his inner pocket. Playing a little song, he walked outside the house. If you have money, you will naturally come to eat and drink.
The old woman was really old, and her reaction was really slow, and she watched her son take the money and hurriedly blocked her son's way. "That's what your sister bought in exchange for her life, and if you take it, what can you do with your sister's death?"
Wang Xuezhi was thinking that after drinking, he could go to Lichun Courtyard to find a good one to keep warm. The interest was high, and seeing the mother in front of him becoming more and more obstructive, he kicked the old woman out with a raised foot.
Then he left quickly. Ignoring the heart-rending cries behind him. The old man, who was smoking a dry cigarette on the side, saw his mother-in-law being kicked to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to check. I shook my head helplessly. What kind of sin did the old Wang family create, such a bastard thing.
After getting up with the old woman in their arms, the two discussed and buried the green stain on the hillside not far from their home overnight.
