Chapter 68: Reputation is gone
Li Lianhua pursed her lips, she didn't look down on her father, she didn't have any ability at all, and married her a stepmother, hmph, don't come to her when you get old.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, are you back?" As soon as Li Lianhua entered the courtyard of Xia Wanru's house, she shouted, as if she was calling her lover, and the person who deliberately pinched her throat gave goosebumps to listen.
"Who, the blind call of the New Year, go farther, go farther!" Xia Wanru was sorting out the things that Zhao Mingcheng brought back in the house, but she didn't expect such a voice to suddenly come out, startling her.
"Auntie, it's me, Lotus, is Brother Zhao back?" After dressing up, Li Lianhua is much brighter, but in Xia Wanru's eyes, she looks nondescript, she doesn't look like a serious girl at first glance, how can she dress up like this and go to other people's houses to shout, her reputation is gone, isn't it?
"Hurry back, isn't it cold to dress like this on a cold day?" I ran out without even wearing a padded jacket, what are you doing?
Li Lianhua said secretly in her heart, what do you know? This looks weak, and people want to protect it at a glance, and the wives in the house often wear it like this, and the lord can't walk when he sees it.
Where did she remember, it was inside the house then, and now it's outside.
"Auntie, let me go in and wait for Brother Zhao. Please. "She doesn't want to go back, she hasn't seen anyone yet." He left, went to town, and didn't know when he would return. Go back, the big girl's family should pay attention to the reputation. ”
With that, he pushed her out the door and closed it.
These things are old and new, like the ones that have been saved all these years, and they are all for her. She sorted things into categories, put together the ones she needed, picked the valuable ones and put them away, and put them away later.
She is old, these beautiful hairpins are no longer needed, so keep them for her future daughter-in-law. The child is so old, I don't know if there is someone in mind. Ask him when he comes back.
After paying tribute to the New Year and eating lunch, Zhao Mingcheng went to the town, Xia Wanru did not lie to Li Lianhua, she was telling the truth.
"Yo, I'm back with a sad face, what's wrong, let's hear it." The stepmother has been eating melon seeds in the yard, but she didn't expect her to come back so soon.
Li Lianhua didn't even look at her, her mouth twitched all day long, she was really a shrew.
Entering the room, Li Lianhua sat down on the edge of the bed, a little worried. She's too old to wait. Brother Zhao, will you marry me?
In the first year of entering the house, she was just a low-class maid, doing things that others didn't want to do, such as washing clothes, pouring night pots, and so on.
In the second year, it rose a little, so I swept the backyard house, and I didn't have to wash things in the winter. In the third year, she became a third-class maid, serving outside the third wife's house, with less work, and people were relaxed.
Unexpectedly, the third wife fell, and I don't know who killed her. She lost her master and began to sweep the yard again. Later, she went to serve the fourth wife, and the fourth wife was more favored than the third wife, and the master came more often, and there were five or six days a month to rest here.
At that time, she was in the cardamom years, and she was interested in the rich and passable lord, and she came to get on as soon as the lord came, but she didn't expect that before she could act, the lord had an accident, because there were no descendants, the eldest lady dismissed all the wives, and she was also let out.
After a while, she met a noble son, but she didn't expect to live for three years, and her daughter was more than a year old, until she was knocked on the door by someone's daughter-in-law, she didn't know that he was a noble son, he was a liar.
cheated her out of money and sex, and for so many years she has been saying that the old man is watching closely and doesn't want him to get married so early, so she is wronged and begged to be outside with him and spend her own money.
In a fit of rage, she left her daughter behind and returned to her hometown. Brother Zhao will definitely forgive her, Li Lianhua thought secretly in her heart.
Zhao Mingcheng arrived in the town, and according to the mark left by the bright moon, he quickly found their residence, in a relatively remote residence, the house was very large, and the yard was very deep.
Knock knock, "Master Cheng, you're here." "Ming Yue didn't expect him to come so quickly, yesterday was Chinese New Year's Eve, and today is only the first day of the new year.
"I'll take a look, how are you doing?" Zhao Mingcheng asked as he walked inside. "Okay, I'll be fine with a good night's sleep."
"Well, that's good, did Yi Xuanzhi go to Cui Ge Lao to deliver the letter?" I don't know if there is any news of the child on Cui Ge's side.
"Ye didn't tell Mr. Cui about this, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand the blow." Mingyue told the truth.
Zhao Mingcheng thought for a while, "In this way, you bring the New Year's gift and go to Cui's mansion, you should send Yixuan to pay New Year's greetings, don't show your feet, and secretly see if there is any news of Yihuan, if not, you will come back immediately." I'm looking for the place where Yihuan disappeared, and I'll let you know if there's news. ”
Now that's all it takes, "Okay, then we'll leave today." I'm in trouble here. "Mingyue and Liushui didn't delay, and they set off immediately.
"Mother, I'm back." Zhao Mingcheng bolted his wind and clouds to the courtyard and walked towards the house. The son is back? Xia Wanru walked at the door, "Cheng'er, I'm back." Everything is done? ”
"Well, okay, mother, let's go into the house and talk."
"Cheng'er, where have you been all these years? Why don't you bring a letter to your mother? Mother and son talked, and she cared about her son's situation over the years.
"When I first started in the Northwest Wasteland, I was a soldier there, and life was very hard. Later, I was discharged from the army, thinking that I would earn some money so that my mother could live a good life in the future and come back. Over the years, the child has been guilty and has made you worry. ”
He can see his mother again, it is God's mercy, in this life, he wants to be by his mother's side and serve her.
"Cheng'er, you have suffered, don't live a good life. If only you could come back safely. "That's it, don't mention the past, the hardships, tiredness, blood and sweat of being a soldier, even if he doesn't say it, she knows it.
"Mother, don't worry, I will often accompany you in the future, build a big house for you in the village, let people serve you, and you will be happy every day."
Hehe, I haven't seen her for a few years, and the child will make her happy. "Cheng'er, my mother asked you, after so many years, do you have a crush?"
"Mother, don't worry, the child doesn't want to get married yet." In her last life, she became a family in a daze, there was no affection between husband and wife, and they lived with respect, and she went within a year. In this life, he is not in a hurry, wait and see.
"Is that any? Waiting? What are you waiting for? You see children as old as you in the village running all over the ground. Xia Wanru was panicked in her heart, how many years would she have to wait for her grandson to come out.
"If you like children, I'll buy you one." He said deliberately sternly. "You kid." She couldn't cry or laugh, can this be the same? It's not your own, what are you doing when you come back with a milk doll?
