Chapter 83: The Child's Relatives (Part II)
"You ...... You ......" Osmanthus's mother-in-law turned pale, and looked at us speechless for a long time.
"Auntie, we know everything, after all, it's your granddaughter, and I hope you can treat it well." Holding back the anger in my heart, I said as kindly as I could. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, although you don't have a plan......
"Oops~ don't have to live......" Osmanthus's mother-in-law suddenly sat on the ground and cried.
Osmanthus was frightened, hugged the child tightly with one hand, and went to support her mother-in-law with her free hand. But her mother-in-law didn't want to get up......
"Mother, please get up first...... Osmanthus knelt in front of her mother-in-law with tears in her eyes.
Osmanthus mother-in-law suddenly slapped her daughter-in-law in the face, and scolded in her mouth: "You useless woman, how can you give birth to some money-losing goods......"
The child in Osmanthus was crying again, as if he was distressed by the slap his mother received.
I was angry, and I didn't care about any politeness or impoliteness, so I pulled Osmanthus up and said to her mother-in-law: "That's because your son can't give birth to a son by himself, why blame her." You are also a woman, and even you look down on women, why are you ......?"
A few words almost came out of my mouth to live, and Zhuo Ran pulled my sleeve, so that I stopped before I finished speaking.
"Who are you? What to do in my house? β
A voice suddenly appeared, and before I could see who it was, I had been pushed, but fortunately I was held by Zhuo Ran, otherwise I would be the next to sit on the ground.
A dark-skinned man in his thirties picked up the mother-in-law of osmanthus on the ground, and asked in a concerned tone: "Mother, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with these people?" β
After saying that, he turned to look at me again, and said in an unkind tone, "Who are you and what are you going to do?" β
"Husband, you misunderstood, they have no malicious intent, it's not good for me." Osmanthus said as he approached the man.
"You, this ......" The man pointed to the child in the woman's arms and said in surprise for a long time.
"I said, are you still a man? I don't want any of my own children. I said.
The man looked at me, but he didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"This brother, we might as well have a good talk." Zhuo Ran spoke.
The man looked at his mother again, and finally nodded, "Come in first." β
In a small room, there were nine people sitting, Zhuo Ran and I, a family of seven who claimed to be surnamed Chen.
The man surnamed Chen told us about their family, roughly what his wife Osmanthus told us.
"Since you gave birth to her, you should raise her, how can you say that you will lose it, it's a life." I say.
The man surnamed Chen looked ashamed, lowered his head and said: "What this brother said is that it is my fault, and I will never do this again in the future, and I hope that my daughter can forgive me as a father." β
"By the way, Xianggong, this son gave us a lot of silver tickets." Osmanthus said and took out the silver ticket I gave her from her sleeve pocket.
"This ......" The man surnamed Chen stood up in shock, and soon said angrily: "Osmanthus, how can you accept other people's money, return it quickly." β
"We are also destined for your daughter, and the right is to buy her a gift, so you can accept it." I say.
The man surnamed Chen took the silver ticket from his wife, but refused to accept it. After some postponement, the silver ticket fell back into my pocket.
In fact, judging from these signs, this man is still good, but he didn't know how to make such a fool and threw his child in a ruined temple in the barren mountains and mountains.
That night, Zhuo Ran and I stayed at the home of this man surnamed Chen. Due to the large population of his family, Zhuo Ran and I were forced to sleep in the same room.
Originally, this was nothing new, and Zhuo Ran and I naturally had no inhibitions.
Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well last night, and Zhuo Ran soon snored. I sat at the table, squinting all night.
In the drowsiness, just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a very small voice reach my ears.
"Li Li!"
I woke up violently, who else could there be but the mouse. I don't know what he does and follows me all the time.
I was about to ignore him, but he shouted again, raising his voice.
I had the heart to hit people, so in order to prevent other people from making noise and causing unnecessary trouble, I went to the window, and the sound came from here.
Sure enough, when I opened the window, the rat spirit was outside the dark window.
"Why are you here again?" I didn't ask him yet, he asked me first.
"Can't I come here?" I say.
The rat spirit grinned and said, "Okay, of course." β
"Tell me, why are you following me again?" I asked him.
"Keep you safe. Do you know? You scared me to death today. The rat spirit said.
"Scare you, stop kidding." I said.
"Just that kid, I thought it was you and that mortal!" Rat Essence.
"Even if it's none of your business." I said.
"Okay, well, you have the final say. Hey, you say, this mortal is selfish, and he is really unreasonable compared to us demons, why do you like them so much? "Rat Spirit.
"It's not all bad people. Hey, you just said that I'm right or not, in that case, please leave. I said that I had thought he would be poor for a while, but this time he quickly disappeared. Shaking his head, he wondered if he was dreaming.
At dawn, Zhuo Ran and I woke up, said goodbye to the family surnamed Chen, and we continued on the road.
Before leaving, I left some silver tickets in the room where we slept.
Without the child, the road was obviously much more comfortable, but the thought of the child being thrown into the wild by his family at such a young age still made my heart tremble, what would happen if we hadn't touched it?
Today, this road is no longer full of mountain and forest trails like yesterday, and I can gradually see some houses and one or two pedestrians, although it is still remote, it is much better.
It's quiet all around, but it's also a bit cold. On a whim, I got out of the carriage and sat down with the coachman, so that he could give me the whip and be a coachman.
At noon, we arrived at a lively market town, where we were no doubt going to have lunch.
Although the place seemed small, there were a lot of people, and the coachman had to control the speed of the horses to the slowest possible, and Zhuo Ran and I could just see if there was a place to eat on the side of the road.
The restaurant has not been found, and there is a "help" from nowhere, which seems to be a woman's voice, and I am curious to look around.
"What's going on there." Zhuo Ran said suddenly.
"Where?" I asked him.
Zhuo Ran stretched out his hand and pointed to the front of him, I looked over, and what I saw was a young woman in plain clothes with a white veil wrapped around her head being pulled by several men who were five big and three thick.
There were a lot of people around, pointing and pointing, but no one stepped forward to help, just like the scene when I saw Zhuo Ran for the first time. The good thing about this woman is that she was not beaten, but the end may be worse.
