Chapter 30: Plum Branches
Wu Wei didn't seem to be able to see Wu Chou's face beyond recognition, his tone of voice to Wu Chou didn't change, his movements didn't change, even his eyes that always protected a chicken didn't change, and he stretched out his hand to tie Wu Chou's open clothes and loose belt.
So that not far from the corner where they were, someone who was pricking up his ears almost rushed out and pulled Wu Wei to run away, lest the little gangster feel despised, and pulled the wooden stick at his feet and started.
But what happened next was dumbfounded, Wu Chou rubbed the back of his head, raised his hand obediently with tears in his eyes, and asked his eldest brother to help him tie his clothes.
"Big brother, you are really ruthless, I haven't been home for so long, and you treat me like this as soon as I get home."
"You still know that you have a home, so where did you die after so many years?" Wu Wei looked at Wu Chou angrily.
"Hahahaha" Wu Chou immediately opened his eyes.
"Alas...... Okay, take it, and if it's not enough, tell me again, and come back early when you're done. Wu Wei finally sighed.
Wu Chou was rare and resolutely refused to give him the small package that Wu Chou gave him: "Brother, what are you doing, don't use it, she will definitely ...... the old lady"
"Then if my mother really refuses to give it to you, will you really go to Xu's house to make trouble."
"Brother." Wu Chou's eyes widened: "You really believe in me......"
"I don't believe it." Wu Wei didn't bother to look at Wu Chou, so he just cared about stuffing the small package into Wu Chou's arms, "Your temperament, I can't figure it out since I was a child, I always say that the wind is the wind, and the rain is the rain, but for so many years, how can you only have this one trouble in the capital, but no one has ever come to Zhuangzi to make trouble." ”
Wu Chou was stunned, and Wu Chou seized the opportunity to put the small package containing the money he had saved over the years and the jewelry he borrowed from his daughter-in-law with a red face into Wu Chou's arms.
"And this time you didn't run away, but you came back for help, because those people have people in their hands who keep you from leaving. If your mother really doesn't give you money tomorrow, then you'll just go back quietly and let them beat you to death, right? ”
Wu Chou still hasn't come back to his senses, and he hasn't come back to his senses after Wu Wu sent him back to the room, and there is another person who hasn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Fortunately, the next day, the worrying thing did not happen, Wu Lin finally took the silver to Wu Chou, and Wu Chou also took advantage of Wu Chou to go to the ground, carrying a bulging burden and running away, and the small package that Wu Chou gave him the night before was returned to Wu Chou's daughter-in-law after it became a larger package.
Of course, at noon, Wu Wei, who returned home, knew that Wu Chou had run away again, and after the package handed to him by his wife, he couldn't cry or laugh.
And after the old lady of the Xu family, Xu Rong, issued an order to summon Xu Youshan back, the people who were no longer forced to go to the fields to cultivate looked straight at the direction where Wu Chou had quietly slipped away in the morning for a long time, for a long time.

Two or three snow-white plum blossoms were exposed, and a plum branch crept into the dilapidated wall, far away from the wooden window that was still slightly open in such a cold weather.
As soon as the wind blew, a few flakes of snow on the plum branches flew into the window through the cracks, but before they could get close to the man on the bed in the house, they melted away.
And the person on the bed didn't notice this at all, his hand was weakly on his forehead, his long legs were bent alone, his action had been maintained for a long time, until the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Wu Bo followed a young man who looked a little smaller than Wu Chou came in, he still didn't move.
Uncle Wu also said a few polite words to the young man, and then asked him to go out, he had something to say to his son alone.
The boy nodded, turned away, and closed the door.
"Are you better?" Wu Bo walked to the low stool next to the bed and sat down.
Wu Chou put down his hand, opened his eyes and looked at Wu Bo and smiled angrily: "You can't die, as long as you don't have tears and snot like yesterday, old man." ”
Speaking of yesterday, the two were silent at the same time.
As soon as Uncle Wu remembered that yesterday, after Chu Dai came to call them in, he saw Wu Chou lying there with blood on his face, and then raised his eyes to look at it, the screen that was knocked open, the tables and chairs that were thrown around would stop beating for a moment.
But at that time, Xu Youshan didn't give them a chance to question, and after signaling that they couldn't let others see Wu Chou like this, he let Uncle Wu carry Wu Chou away.
And on the way out of the mansion, Wu Chou also rarely didn't say a word, no matter what Wu Lin asked, what happened in the pavilion? What did the second lady say to him again? Is there something for him to do?
Wu Chou didn't care about it, he just closed his eyes, and the cold sweat of pain flowed.
"You were like that yesterday, your mother has always been at ease, but she is on an errand in front of the second lady, so she can't leave casually, so I can only bring this to you."
Wu Bo handed a small porcelain bottle to Wu Chou, Wu Chou opened it and sniffed it, and said informally: "The old lady is good, this is a good thing." ”
The porcelain bottle is filled with internal wound medicine, and the shirt is scattered. It's not the best, but it's a good product. After Wu Lin's family heard that Wu Bo, who returned to the house, said that Wu Chou's ribs were broken two or three, he affirmed that in the Jade Pavilion today, Wu Chou had touched Xu Youshan's boundary, and he would be beaten like this by Liu's mother.
He was angry with him, but he was also very worried, so he hurriedly asked Wu Bo to exchange one of her golden hairpins for money, and then bought a pension and sent it to Wu Chou.
"If you know it's a good thing, you have to remember to eat it, you know?" Uncle Wu didn't mind his hanging, and Yin Yin advised: "You can't be as unreasonable as yesterday in the future, you are smart, you should also know the current situation of our family...... Don't upset the second lady anymore. ”
Wu Chou was stunned for a moment, and turned his face away, so that Wu Bo couldn't see his expression clearly, "Old man, haven't you ever blamed the old lady?" ”
Now Wu Chou is no longer the child who doesn't understand anything and can follow Wu Lin's to torture Xu Youshan, he has long understood that his mother chose to hug Zhao's thighs back then, so she will treat Xu Youshan's mother and daughter like this according to Zhao's wishes.
She wanted to earn a future for the three of them.
But no one expected that what she earned for them would be a chance to get to the gates of hell.
Uncle Wu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't answer a word for a long time, is it strange? Isn't it to blame?
"I don't know."
I don't know? Old man, can you please not be so honest.
"Heh" raised his hand to cover his eyes, Wu Chou chuckled, the laughter was very soft, very light, but it made Uncle Wu's heart relax for no reason.
The sunlight penetrated through the thin flower paper, and the warm light sprinkled by the flowers made Wu Bo, who was shrouded in the sun, and Wu Chou, who turned his head slightly, like a trace of gold thread floating.
