Chapter 42 Paper Cannot Contain Fire
In front of these women, Lao Kong didn't want to deny that he was the owner of the broken house. After all, there is nothing that cannot be let go of the people who have walked in the Hades Palace. Everything in the past is just the past, not the future, and since Miss Ma knows her past, it will not affect anything.
1. Hardship
Liu Ruxue didn't think so, if she admitted that Lao Kong was the owner of the broken house, then her widowhood would be completely exposed. And that's not the main thing, a widow with a man in her family, what will that make others think?
"Sister, I see that you don't treat me as your own sister at all", Ma Xiaoqian pouted angrily and said
"Where do you want to go, I didn't take you seriously", Liu Ruxue said with a smile, thinking, my good sister, everyone has their own privacy, can you not get to the bottom of it.
"Sister, if you really treat me as a good sister, you shouldn't hide anything from me. Why don't you admit that your brother-in-law is the owner of the broken house? I'm not stupid, this matter can't stand up to analysis," Ma Xiaoqian said
"Hey, I really can't help you", Liu Ruxue said helplessly
"I'll tell you," Lao Kong said, interrupting their conversation
"Miss Ma, I'm not afraid of your jokes, the broken house is indeed mine, you guessed right, the two broken books you saw in the house are also mine", Lao Kong said embarrassedly
"No, what you're dressed now doesn't match the room," Abi said with a smile
"What's not so coordinated? It's just that I changed my clothes, I shouldn't die, I met your sister Liu, so I can live like I am now", Lao Kong looked at Ah Bi and said
"Ah, it's incredible, there should be a lot of stories in this, I want to know", Ma Xiaoqian stomped her feet and said
"Hey, our young lady's curiosity is too heavy, if you don't explain it to her, she will toss me again when she goes back at night", Abi said helplessly
"You are an eldest lady, why do you always like to dig up other people's gossip?" Liu Ruxue looked at the anxious Ma Xiaoqian and said
"Oh, sister, don't look at my eldest lady in the future, I'm the same as Abi, we are all sisters, there is no distinction between high and low", Ma Xiaoqian said
"It's getting late today, why don't you change the day," Liu Ruxue said as she looked at the sky
"Sister, don't divert the topic, I want to listen, I want to listen", Ma Xiaoqian shouted
"My story can tell you, your sister Liu's story, you better don't dig it, it will only make her sadder," Lao Kong said
"Hey, you've learned to care about people," Liu Ruxue said with a smile
"Look at what you say, is my old Kong so blind?" Lao Kong glared and said, After so many days of getting along, you have been deeply imprinted in my heart.
"Sister, don't interrupt, brother-in-law, please speak", Ma Xiaoqian looked at Lao Kong and said
"Our Kong family used to be in Qingyun City, although it was not a rich family, but it was also a scholarly family. Poor parents died young, leaving me alone and miserable, and my life has been miserable ever since. But I'm also a scholar, and I wanted to rely on my talent to gain fame, but unfortunately, now the officialdom is corrupt, and buying and selling officials has become a trend. We, the down-and-out scholars, have no way out. Lao Kong took a sip of water and continued
2. Hateful
Ma Xiaoqian looked at Lao Kong, who was pondering, and thought, I really can't see that the dilapidated house is the house of a scholarly family. It was empty, and there wasn't even a decent calligraphy or painting in the room.
"But that house, I can't tell it's a scholarly family's house," Abi asked suspiciously
"Hmph, it used to be a scholarly family, and the objects in the house were all dismantled and sold out by this nerd", Liu Ruxue said lightly
"I am a poor scholar, and I am a lonely person, life is indeed a little embarrassing, in order to be able to get famous as soon as possible, so I can only sell my property to supplement the needs of life", Lao Kong said embarrassedly
"And how did you get your leg broken?" Ma Xiaoqian said suspiciously, it stands to reason that a poor scholar will not have any deep hatred with others.
"In order to gain fame, I tried my best to read thousands of books, Ding Dazhuang, that is, the Ding Ju person in Qingyun City, the family has a mountain of books, I thought that this person usually doesn't read, I can quietly borrow a few books to read, who knows that he found out, let the next person beat me up, and then it became like this", Lao Kong pointed to his leg and said
"No, you and Miss Liu are husband and wife, looking at Sister Liu's small courtyard, it doesn't look like someone who can't afford you to study", Ah Bi asked suspiciously
"Hey, I'm ashamed, I didn't know Xiaoxue until I was injured," Lao Kong said embarrassedly
"Ah, no, then you guys are in love for a long time?" Ma Xiaoqian said in surprise, she has only known each other for a few months and got married, which is a bit fast
"Haha, I thought? I wonder if Xiaoxue can take a fancy to me? Lao Kong said embarrassedly
"Listen to that, you're not married yet?" Abi asked cautiously
"Then didn't my brother-in-law call in vain?" Ma Xiaoqian said with a smile
"Then you didn't get married, so you lived together?" Abi said with her mouth covered
"Miss Abi, don't think about it too much, what can you do with me, a person who can't stand on my legs? If it weren't for Xiaoxue's careful care, I might have died a long time ago," Lao Kong said with a smile
"Then what is the relationship between you and Sister Liu? Is it a relative or? Ma Xiaoqian then asked
"I won't tell you, I really didn't have anything to do with Xiaoxue before this, Xiaoxue took me in because she saw that I was pitiful", Lao Kong said embarrassedly, and when it came to this, there was nothing to hide. Seeing that Ma Xiaoqian is not the kind of person who is troubled, since she has already married Liu Ruxue as a sister, she is not an outsider.
"What about Sister Liu's family?" Ma Xiaoqian looked at Liu Ruxue and asked
"I don't have a family", Liu Ruxue said embarrassedly, and it seems that she can't hide her identity as a widow.
"How so? How could Sister Liu be such a good person without a family? Ma Xiaoqian asked curiously
"Xiaoqian, it's not easy for your sister Liu, don't be curious", Lao Kong said seriously
"Oh, I see. You see how good it is, everyone treats each other honestly, this is a good sister", Ma Xiaoqian said with a smile
"Alas, Miss, you are just too curious, and you have pulled out all the unhappy past", Abi said helplessly
"I just want to figure out some things I don't understand, and now that everyone's relationship is clear, so that we can get along well in the future, Sister Liu, do you say yes", Ma Xiaoqian said with a smile
"You're right, sister, there shouldn't be anything to hide, you're right, it's us who are wrong", Liu Ruxue said with a wry smile, facing this ghostly sister, it is simply impossible to hide anything.
