22. Fight evil with evil
Chapter 22: Fighting Evil with Evil
The person who went to Taohuazhuang to inquire came back when he was in the child, and Master Shen also heard his wife mention this matter at night, and he was knocked on the door, and woke up in a daze, and when he saw his wife get up, he said, "Now Mrs. Hua must be asleep, it's too rude for you to go." β
Mrs. Shen didn't listen to him this time, "I definitely didn't sleep." β
"How do you know?"
Mrs. Shen paused slightly, "Because they are all mothers." β
Master Shen didn't seem to understand, and felt strange, "Why are you so concerned about the affairs of the Hua family?" β
Mrs. Shen said while dressing, "One is a neighbor, and the other is about Hua Ling. She whispered, rather mysteriously, "Noble Baby, I like flower bells." Hua Ling is so good, I should always be more careful, in the future, it will really reach the age of Hua Ling's marriage, maybe Mrs. Hua will pay more attention to the treasure. β
Master Shen doesn't like a smart and clever girl like Xiaohualing, but he really doesn't have much confidence in a family like the Hua family, so it's okay to make friends and be in-laws...... He didn't know the bottom of his heart. However, since they are neighbors, it is also necessary to help each other, "I will go and talk about it tomorrow in Zhizhou, then the He family is really going to make trouble, and the government will not take her case." β
After he finished speaking, he saw her nodding, and he still felt strange in his heart, how could she, who had always been submissive, seem to be different. He was lying down, and she was sitting on the edge of the bed dressing, and her side face was still tender and ruddy, like a girl. In a trance, he remembered the first time he saw him in front of the temple, and he was about to say a few words to her, but he saw her put on her coat.
The dark purple brocade clothes instantly obscured her light, and she looked dull. He paused, and when he spoke, it must have been a regular and rigid conversation. Obviously, it wasn't like this when he first got married, but later he became more and more unsmiling, as if he laughed, he felt that he had lost the majesty of his mother, and his clothes became more and more old-fashioned, and these were all right, but as soon as he spoke, he could guess the lines, just like his mother.
He thought she was like a puppet now.
Mrs. Shen didn't know what her husband thought, so she got dressed and washed her face, tied up her hair, inserted a few hairpins that she usually wears, and went out to knock on the door of Hua's house.
Liao really hadn't slept yet, and as soon as he heard that Mrs. Shen was coming, he immediately went out to meet her. When the two entered the house, she forgot to pour the tea and asked, "But is there any news?" β
Mrs. Shen didn't care about this etiquette, but she was also anxious. It's just that Liao's is not in a hurry on the surface, but he is afraid that he is already anxious in his heart.
"The inquirer has returned, and I have brought him with me." She raised her hand and motioned for the family to report.
Jia Ding said, "That He family is the concubine of the Qi family of Anshan, not Mrs. Qi. The He family gave birth to a son, and he was also the only son of Master Qi, and there was nothing to do in the main room. The wife and concubine have been fighting fiercely, but in the past two months, Master Qi has a new love, and the He family has gradually lost the upper hand. So Mrs. Qi went to ask Master Qi to bring Aunt He's son over to raise, and He was counting on the child to turn over, but he refused no matter what. If Master Qi didn't interfere in this matter, he would make a fuss. β
Liao twisted his eyebrows and said, "Then why did she rob my daughter?" β
"I heard that Master Qi was so annoyed that he yelled at Aunt He, your mother's family has no power and power, how can you help your son in the future, the daughters of good people don't want to marry him. The implication is that he decided to give his son to Mrs. Qi to raise, and he will be named in Mrs. Qi. β
Mrs. Shen sighed, "Isn't it a good thing that this concubine's name is in the main room?" β
Liao shook his head, "The Qi family is just this one child, and the family business will all belong to the little young master in the future, and it is not a big problem to remember whether it is in Mrs. Qi's place or not." But for the helpless He, it was a big deal. It's okay for the son to just be named, but he still has to be raised by Mrs. Qi. Their wife and concubine have been incompatible for so many years, do you think the child is raised by Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Qi will say good things about He? Children are the most trustworthy, and if they are not careful, they will treat their biological mother as an enemy. When such a child grows up in the future, will he still be able to give his biological mother a good face? β
When she said this, Mrs. Shen remembered it, and it was not unreasonable. It's like a child raised by a grandmother, if the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good before, then the child will not be close to the biological mother in the future, just because the grandmother whispers in his ear every day about the disadvantages of his biological mother.
Liao couldn't help sneering, "Mrs. Qi is also a wreck, she was trampled on her head by her aunt, what if she has a son, she is weak and incompetent as a housewife." Master Qi is the same, as long as he makes his position clear, he will not let his wife and concubine fight among themselves. If the house is uneasy, it is easy to have accidents. β
Mrs. Shen suddenly felt that it was right to apply this to herself, and her son had said something similar, but it was just ...... She sighed secretly. Suddenly, I understood that if she had a tougher attitude, like Liao's, where would an aunt enter the door. Without her aunt entering the door, her son would not have been drowned.
It is said that motherhood is strong, but she is getting weaker and weaker.
Liao didn't pay attention to what she was thinking, and said, "No wonder Aunt He wants to find my daughter, if she really succeeds, she will become a hero, and her son will be able to stay by her side." But how could she be so stupid, then Master Qi was just looking for an excuse to prevaricate her, and she took it seriously. I said, even if the Hua family really let her go, her son still can't be kept. β
Mrs. Shen came back to her senses and smiled reluctantly, "If she doesn't try, she'll just sit back and wait to die, so it's better to try this trick." It's just that she really can't figure out what benefits it will be for their mother and son to really get married in the future. β
"Stupid." Liao Shi thought of being put on a position by such a person, and felt that the nest was on fire and nest, "I also blame me, I didn't see that the bracelet was a valuable thing, I didn't watch out for people, I thought that she had a good face and a kind heart, so I ......."
Mrs. Shen comforted her, but in fact, her mind had flown away, full of thoughts about "what if...... It won't ...... "if...... I didn't ...... "I thought of more than a dozen hypotheses, and each reason actually came from myself.
Liao sighed, and she sighed too.
Regret!
&&&&&
Na He didn't show up the next day, and Liao thought to herself that she should be waiting for her husband to come back. The thought that her husband, who had been away for two months, would come back and be entangled by a crazy woman, made her feel upset.
Hua Ling saw that her mother seemed to have something on her mind, but she didn't speak, so she knew that things were not simple. Hearing that her mother went to Shen's house yesterday and had a night talk with Mrs. Shen in the middle of the night last night, she thought that Aunt Shen must know. But she understands one thing - adults will prevaricate you, saying that you will know when you grow up.
But now she worries about her mother, and she can't wait until she grows up.
She thought about it and felt that Shen Laibao should know, so she went to find him. When he went out, he remembered that he had to go to the academy today, so he stopped his steps, sat on the stone steps in front of the door and threw stones, waiting for him to go home. The subordinates couldn't persuade them, so they opened the door and went their own way.
It was almost noon, the door next door opened with a bang, and seven or eight people came out, all of whom Hua Ling recognized, she stood up and shouted to the leader, "Ah Wu." β
Ah Wu took a step down and greeted her, "Why are you sitting here, Big Sun?" β
"I'll wait for Brother Noble."
"The young master hasn't come back so soon, but we're just going to look for him now."
Hua Ling tilted her head, "Didn't Brother Noble go to the academy, the noon academy won't let you go." Brother Bao told me that he had to bring his own lunch. β
Ah Wu couldn't tell the truth, and he was embarrassed to be silent for a while. Hua Ling had already walked up to him, "I happen to have something to do with him, so let's go together." β
"This ......"
Ah Wu was embarrassed, and others said, "Tell the Hua family, it's just a little girl, and the matter that the young master wants to solve is also related to the little flower girl, and I'm not afraid of her seeing." β
Ah Wu was persuaded, thinking that her relationship with her young master was so good, it should be fine, so she went in and talked to the Hua family. Liao's had gone out, but Mama Ge couldn't resist her, so she went with her.
The sun is shining, and the sun is scorching. Shen Laibao sat under the mushroom-covered locust tree for a long time, and fine sweat oozed from his forehead and arms. He held in his hand the large leaves he had picked on the road and fanned them out, but it was still hot.
There are very few pedestrians on this road, and at noon, when every household eats, there are even fewer people.
Under the bright sun, a woman in Tsing Yi appeared in Shen Laibao's eyes with an umbrella in her hand. She walked in a hurry, and the umbrella was pressed so low that she couldn't see her face. But Shen Laibao, who had met her in Peach Blossom Village, still recognized the person at a glance as he was waiting for someone, he jumped off the rock, walked quickly over there, followed to the alley, and shouted at her, "Hey, is this golden Buddha yours?" β
He Shi paused, turned to look, and saw that the little boy seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. After a while, he was attracted by the golden Buddha that was half the size of a palm raised in his hand, and he couldn't help but step forward and smiled slightly, "Yes, it's mine." β
When Shen Laibao heard this, he handed the Golden Buddha to her, "Give it back to you." β
"That's good." He grabbed the golden Buddha tightly, turned around and continued to walk forward, unaware that the person behind him was smiling.
ββThis is the only way for the He family to return to their parents' home.
-- It's noon and very few people walk here.
-- He is a greedy man.
It is said that knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, Shen Laibao asked Ah Wu to use the news he inquired about overnight, which was accurate and useful, and he was going to go back to add chicken legs to Ah Wu.
He measured the time and ran out of the other way quickly. When he ran to the exit, he saw He Shi coming out, and he shouted loudly, "Gold thief, give me back my things!" β
He Shi slammed down, raised the umbrella to look at him, quite surprised, and saw him staring at him angrily, and immediately frowned, "What nonsense." β
"You just stole my golden Buddha, that's my favorite treasure."
He only felt that there was something wrong with the child, and just held up the golden Buddha and asked if it was hers, but the result was ...... She suddenly remembered where she had seen this child, and it was clearly the young master of the Shen family. That day, she only cared about looking at Hua Ling in Peach Blossom Village, and didn't care about him. If it was the Shen family, she believed that he would play with a few taels of golden Buddha, and it was rumored that he had become smarter, but now he looks like it.
Seeing Shen Laibao looking like a thief, she impatiently and unwillingly took out the golden Buddha and threw it on the ground, "Pay you back, fool." β
Shen Laibao stepped to the left and blocked her way, "You stole my golden Buddha." β
He glared, "That's what you gave me." β
Shen Laibao's expression changed, and he chuckled, "It's obvious that you stole it, otherwise how could it be on you, and I'm not a fool, how could I give you something for no reason." β
"I ......" He raised his eyebrows and pointed behind him, "Stinky boy, you dare to slander me, look at the nine people behind you, all of them can testify to me, you are slandering me." β
Shen Laibao didn't have to think about it to know who was standing behind him, and at noon, it was the time he made an appointment with the family. He looked back leisurely, and the big men didn't see it, but they saw the flower bell at a glance.
Hua Ling's brows were twisted, and the meaning of the expression in her eyes was unclear. Shen Laibao looked at Mama Ge who was holding her, and Mama was clearly saying in her eyes - you slander an innocent woman like this, naughty!
Unexpected people appeared here, and Shen Laibao couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Ah Wu. Ah Wu only felt a coldness coming, and he trembled, knowing that he had something bad about him.
