Chapter 020: Questioning
Facing his daughter's sharp gaze, Zhuang had a feeling of being stared through by her, and had to look away, for fear that she would see something.
Yesterday she was helping out at Feng Laowu's house, and she was washing dishes in the backyard with others, but then she didn't know who yelled that the firewood was gone, so the Zhuang family went to the firewood room. As soon as she entered the firewood room, someone covered her mouth, and the man had to take off her pants.
Where is Zhuang's willingness, he opened his mouth and bit the man with all his might. The man threw her to the ground in pain. Then the fist slap fell on her face like a torrential rain. Only then did Zhuang see that this person was Wang Laiqi, but he really didn't expect him to give up. She cried out desperately. As soon as she shouted, Wang Laiqi became anxious, grabbed her hair, and threatened her not to make a sound.
Don't look at the usual weakness of the Zhuang family, but at the critical moment, he is like crazy, and he wants to protect his innocence. In the face of Zhuang's crazy resistance, Wang Laiqi had no choice but to push her to the pyre with hatred.
Unfortunately, there was a broken table in the pyre, and Wang Laiqi couldn't do it, and he used too much force in anger, and a big hole appeared in the back of Zhuang's head.
Later, when the people of Feng Laowu's family came, they saw Zhuang lying in a pool of blood, and shouted bad luck, so they wrapped her in a straw mat and threw her back to the door.
For Feng Lao Wu, it is estimated that sending the Zhuang family home is already benevolent and righteous, and it is not bad to leave her in the mountains.
Zhuang remembered that he had been caught by Wang Laiqi, and he felt disgusted, and he really didn't want to mention it, in case his daughter looked down on him, it would be bad. She pursed her lips and said stubbornly: "Xi'er, you let go of your mother, and your mother still has to work." The rice at home is running out, and if you don't earn any money, you will starve to death. ”
Shen Xi felt a vicious aura in her chest, she gritted her teeth, restrained her emotions, and said to Shen Wang, who was at a loss: "Old sister, take my little brother to the door to play for a while, I took yesterday's dried apricots and roasted seeds to eat." ”
Shen Wangmu nodded, and went out with Shen Ping in his arms.
"Mother! I bought it yesterday. Shen Xi let go of the hand holding Zhuang's arm, climbed under the bed, and pulled out a wooden box, which contained five ingots and a lot of copper. She opened the wooden box, put it in front of Zhuang's family, and said, "Mother, this is the money I got from selling fairy spirit ointment in the town yesterday. ”
"Ahh Zhuang Shi gasped and said, "It's really fake, even your father may not be able to sell it for so much money at one time." Don't lie to your mother. ”
Shen Xi said with a smile: "If this money wasn't obtained by me selling fairy spirit grass, it would be difficult to steal and rob it." In the future, I will earn money to support my family, mother, don't go out to work. I can't make much money after a tiring day. I agreed with the boss of Jishengtang that he would accept as much fairy spirit anointment as I had in the future. ”
"Boss Jishengtang." Zhuang's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of strangeness flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything after all.
Shen Xi didn't care about Zhuang's abnormality, thinking that she was just unwell, so he said: "Mother, you are Xiucai's daughter, you can read and write, and you will teach Xiaowang and Ping'er to read at home in the future." Next time I'm in town, I'll bring some pen and paper back. I don't think you want Ping'er to be like other villagers, middle school for the rest of your life. If you can get fame, you will be able to enjoy happiness in the future, and Xiaowang will have a family that can be around. ”
Zhuang never thought about the future of her children, since her husband disappeared, she worked hard every day for firewood, rice, oil and salt, just thinking about how to feed the children. After Shen Xi fell ill, he even owed a huge debt of seventy or eighty taels. Not only will this money be able to pay off debts, but there will also be a lot of savings. She followed her eldest daughter's advice.
Since her eldest daughter recovered from her illness, she seemed to be a different person, becoming mature and reliable. It is a miraculous thing that Zhuang will inexplicably rely on his daughter. At this moment, the eldest daughter only said that she didn't have to go out to work in the future, and no longer mentioned the affairs of Feng Laowu's family, which made the Zhuang family breathe a sigh of relief.
But the good times didn't last long, and before the Zhuang family could finish his anger, Shen Xi suddenly asked, "Did Wang Lai Qi do it?" ”
Zhuang was too surprised, he didn't expect Shen Xi to be cheating on her, and asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
Shen Xi's treacherous plan succeeded, smiled, and said, "Since it's him, it's easy to do." ”
Zhuang was frightened, she knew that her daughter had met an immortal cultivator and would do some kung fu, for fear that she would go out and cause trouble. Of course, the Zhuang family was not afraid of what Shen Xi would do to Wang Laiqi, but was afraid that Shen Xi would be hurt. Since Shen Xi recovered from his illness, his temperament is very different from before, and he is no longer as docile as before, and has become decisive and resolute. This kind of personality is easy to quarrel with people, and the rigid is easy to break, of course Zhuang wants Shen Xi to have an accident.
She grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Don't mess around." Mother...... Mother...... didn't receive ......" Before the words were finished, Zhuang choked up, how could she talk about this kind of thing, and she was still facing her daughter. She remembered the injustices and bullying she had encountered after her husband's death, and it was even more difficult to hide her sadness. Although he was not really insulted, he was disgraced, and it was difficult for Zhuang to speak out.
Shen Xi wiped Zhuang's tears with a handkerchief and comforted: "Mother, don't be sad. I'm not going to do anything. And I'm just a kid, what can I do? You are helping in Fengjia Village, do they pay you for your wages? Shen Xi didn't want to make the Zhuang family sad anymore, so he changed the conversation.
Zhuang wiped away his tears and said, "Fifty dollars, I haven't given it yet." ”
"Mother, how many days do happy events usually take place?"
"Three days, seven days for the wealthier. Feng Laowu's family is a wealthy family, holding a seven-day banquet and singing a seven-day opera. ”
"Hmph, rich man." Shen Xi muttered contemptuously.
Zhuang was puzzled, "What are you asking for?" ”
Shen Xi smiled, "I just asked casually." Mother, you have a good rest, and when your injuries are healed, you can teach your younger brothers and sisters to read. Oh, I'm so stupid, mother, you must be hungry, I'll serve you porridge. ”
After serving Zhuang's dinner, Shen Xi said, "Mother, I have to go to the mountains." I have an appointment with the old fairy. ”
Zhuang did not doubt it, and said: "Since he has taught you skills, you should call someone a master." If he is free, he should invite him home for a meal. ”
"Hey," Shen Xi waved his hand, "They all say that they are old immortals, and they won't care about this mortal ceremony." Besides, he doesn't eat either. ”
"Be careful on the road." Zhuang instructed again.
Shen Xi answered absentmindedly, went out, and said to Shen Wang at the door: "Xiao Wang, you don't have to wait for me for lunch, I'll go to the next village, you take care of your mother and younger brother." ”
Shen Wang nodded and replied seriously: "Well, sister, you are careful on the road." ”
"Got it." Shen Xi is on the road. Of course, she didn't go to the mountains to see the old fairy, but to clean up Wang Laiqi's dog things.
She walked around the village, listening to the gossip of the houses.
