Chapter Twenty-Eight: I'd Rather Die Than Obey
Early the next morning, Yinglan's father wrapped a few steamed buns and returned home, and shouted into the house in a long voice: "Yinglan, Susu, look at what I brought you today, come out, come out and eat steamed buns, it's still hot!" ”
Yu Qiusu and Liu Yinglan came out of it, saw their father with a smile on his face, beckoned to the two of them kindly, and then put the things in his hand on the table and said, "Good daughter, haven't you made breakfast yet?" You should be hungry, come and eat, Dad brought it back for you. ”
Yu Qiusu and the two looked at each other, not knowing where the sun was rising today.
Seeing that the two of them were not moving, Yinglan's father simply went over and pulled the two over, asked them to sit down, sighed and said, "Now that your mother is gone, my father feels bad watching you suffer." Although sometimes my father's temper is a little short-tempered, how can I say that you are also my father's daughter, if you are obedient, how can my father be willing to embarrass you? Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, eat the steamed buns quickly, don't go hungry. He handed the steamed bun to the two of them.
Yu Qiusu and Liu Yinglan glanced at each other, and they both wondered if his mother's death would make him repent, seeing that he had changed so quickly, he really couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden, so he was just stunned with the steamed bun.
Yinglan's father looked at the two and said, "Hey, it's all because Dad is not good, your mother didn't take good care of her before she died...... he wiped his eyes and said, "Okay, what's the use of saying so much, since everyone is gone, Dad plans to buy some wine and food today to pay tribute." After saying that, he got up and walked outside the house, caught a hen in the chicken coop, came back and tied her wings with a rope and said, "Yinglan, you killed this chicken, Susu, you go to the market with your godfather to buy some meat and come back." What your godmother was looking forward to most before her death was to eat a meal of meat, but your father never had the money to buy it for her, hey......" He shook his head sadly and looked at Yu Qiusu.
Yu Qiusu glanced at Liu Yinglan and said, "Godfather, I'm still ...... It's better to stay and help Yinglan kill chickens. After all, she couldn't figure out the true intentions of Yinglan's father, and she didn't know the bottom of her heart.
"Why do you need two people for a chicken," Yinglan's father pulled Yu Qiusu's hand and said, "Let's go, you go to the market with your godfather, buy meat and come back to pay a good tribute to your godmother." ”
Liu Yinglan put down the steamed bun in her hand and said, "Dad, it's better for you to buy meat alone, the embroidery in Su Su's hand still has to be rushed." ”
Yinglan's father glared at his daughter and said, "Your mother just died, what kind of work?" He turned around and smiled at Qiu Su, "Susu, my godfather knows that you are good-looking, and Sun Er Mazi of the meat stall must be willing to let us take advantage of it, isn't it possible to save a few dollars, let's go." ”
Yu Qiusu couldn't stand his coaxing, so he pushed him out of the door, and when he looked back, he saw that Liu Yinglan was still standing at the door and looking at him.
With a worried heart, Yu Qiusu followed his godfather to the bazaar, and followed behind step by step. Yinglan's father walked straight ahead, looking back from time to time.
"Godfather, it seems that Second Uncle Sun's meat stall should go that way, right?" Yu Qiusu found that Yinglan's father had gone in the wrong direction, and her heart became more and more uneasy.
"Oh." Yinglan's father explained, "Godfather will go there to get a pot of wine first, don't you??" Collect? Jurisdiction? Forgiveness!?p>
When Yu Qiusu followed him silently to the corner of the street, he saw three eye-catching big characters in front of a building from a distance - Yuxiang Building. She was shocked, and suddenly stopped and said, "Godfather, I'm still waiting for you here." He forgot that his goddaughter was literate.
Yinglan's father was stunned for a moment, turned around and walked to Yu Qiusu's side, pushed it and said, "Don't be wordy, go quickly!" ”
Yu Qiusu saw that his face was not good, and he was even more convinced, so he stopped his heels and didn't leave, and said, "Godfather, if you don't tell me where to go, I won't leave." ”
Yinglan's father glared at him and said angrily, "Are you leaving?" I'm not kind to you anymore! ”
Yu Qiusu asked bluntly: "Is my godfather going to take me to that Yuxiang Building?" If that were the case, I wouldn't have gone with you even if I died! ”
Yinglan's father changed color, since she had already seen through it, there was no need to pretend, and grabbed Yu Qiusu's arm and said, "That's right!" Godfather is taking you to Yuxianglou today, let's go! "Pick her up and leave.
"Godfather, please don't take me there," Yu Qiusu struggled and begged, "The money you owe, Su Su will pay it back for you...... Please, godfather, don't take me there......"
Yinglan's father didn't say a word, raised his hand and hit her on the head, and her hair was beaten messily, staring at her and saying angrily: "You stinky girl, I sold you to this kind of place to cheapen you!" What more do you want? Eat well and live well here, where are you not satisfied, stinky girl?! Yes?! If you don't leave, Lao Tzu will break your legs! He pushed her the back, grabbed her arm and walked away.
Yu Qiusu was pushed and pulled by him, and he was already resisting vigorously, his body was not stable, and he fell to the ground with a "snap", and was dragged by Yinglan's father to slide on the ground for more than a dozen steps, and hit a stall. She grabbed a wooden pillar of the stall with her backhand and cried: "Godfather, I don't want to go, please let me go, I don't go there......"
The movement of the father and daughter alarmed the passers-by and the people on both sides of the shop, who gathered around and gathered in a circle to ask each other for comments.
Yinglan's father saw that Yu Qiusu was dead and unwilling to compromise, but attracted these many people, and grabbed Yu Qiusu's hair and wanted to pick her up, who knew that Yu Qiusu desperately grabbed the wooden pillar and didn't let go, but made the stall sway from side to side. The stall owner hurriedly came out to persuade: "I said big brother, don't make trouble at my stall, what if you mess up my stall?" ”
Some people in the crowd already recognized Yinglan's father, and they all said, "Isn't this Liu San?" ”
"yes, who is that girl? What happened? ”
"It seems to be Liu San's goddaughter."
At this time, an elegant scribe in his thirties and forties stepped forward and asked, "This eldest brother, may I ask why you and this girl have a dispute?" The gentleman doesn't move, I think you should let go of this girl first and let her get up before talking. ”
Yinglan's father saw that these idle people gathered to meddle in their affairs, and his mood became even more irritable, and he opened his voice and shouted: "She is my goddaughter, and if she is disobedient, Lao Tzu will naturally teach her a lesson, you should be nosy, go and walk......" He waved his hand and pushed the middle-aged scribe to a stumbling back. When the middle-aged scribe saw him doing it, he was not to be outdone, and reasoned with him, and for a while, the two had a verbal battle, mixed with discussions in the crowd, which was not lively.
