It was already midnight when Jin Lao got home. In the main hall, several maids were coaxing the child to eat, but the child was bent on being accompanied by his mother, and he didn't want to use chopsticks. Jin Lao walked into the house, and the maids and servants saluted and retreated, leaving only the two of them.

"You're Madame Hao's child, aren't you?" Jin Lao sat at the table, looked at the boy on the other side, and said with a kind face, "Your name is Jiang Yingjie, right?" Why don't you eat? ”

"Who are you?" The boy looked white and chubby, with a fleshy little face, and although it was not very cute, it was not so annoying. He looked at Jin Lao, with a slight hostility in his eyes, and said, "I'm looking for my mother." Where's my mother? ”

Jin Lao frowned slightly, thinking that instead of hiding it, it would be better to tell the truth earlier, thinking like this, so he said, "Your mother is dead"

"You're a liar!" When the young man heard Jin Lao say this, he couldn't help but say angrily, "My mother is alive and well, why do you say she is dead?" As he spoke, he was going to swing his fist to hit Jin Lao.

"I didn't lie to you." Jin Lao stretched out his hand to block the child's fist and said, "If you don't believe it, let me see." ”

He dragged the child out of the door, walked for a while, and saw the fireworks at the corner of the street, the boy was taken aback, and wanted to break free, but Jin Lao kept holding his hand and did not let go, and he struggled in every possible way, but to no avail.

"The fire has become a momentum and cannot be saved. Your mother is already dead inside. Jin Lao knew that the woman committed suicide before, so he didn't talk about saving people, but said lightly to the boy, "From now on, you will follow me." ”

"I don't want to, let me go!" The boy yelled, and when he saw that he couldn't get rid of it, he actually went down to bite Jin Lao's wrist. Jin Lao frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, letting the boy mess around, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Madame Hao is really a chaste martyr."

It turned out that the woman's surname was Hao, and she married a man surnamed Jiang as a wife in her early years. The family business of the two is not big, but the husband and wife are affectionate, but they are also happy to know their fate. Four years ago, he was happy to have a son, named Jiang Yingjie, and he is the child now.

Jiang was originally born as a coolie, and had no other livelihood, and worked for a large family over the years, with little salary, only enough food and clothing, because he was righteous and worked with many workers, and won the support of everyone.

The surname of this big family is Bao, and the owner is an obese man over forty years old, and the workers call him Master Bao in person, and they all call him Bao Zhu in private. Mr. Bao is a small-bellied chicken intestine, although he is a harmonious picture on the surface, but behind his back, he always deducts his wages. That's why people call him that.

Hao does some needlework on weekdays, although she is tired, but she has to deliver food to her husband on the construction site, although it is not a delicacy, but in the eyes of others, it is also quite envious. One day, Hao's family came to deliver food, and he met Mr. Bao to inspect the construction site. When Master Bao saw that Hao's family was beautiful and lovely, he was confused. Later, after some inquiry, I learned that it was the daughter-in-law of a long-term worker. Master Bao's lustful heart was secret, so he wanted to get this beauty into his hands, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find any good way, so he had to put it aside for a while. Later, mutinies broke out, and all parts of the country were panicked, and this Master Bao saw that the officials and soldiers had no time to take care of the people's livelihood, so he began to think strangely again. He bought off a long-term worker Wang who was close to the Jiang family, and then he went against the norm and became very gentle to everyone. A few days later, he held a dinner party on the grounds that the new house was built, and invited all the long-term workers to sit at the table for the first time. Poor Jiang didn't know what to do, and was drunk by this Master Bao at the banquet. As the night wore on, Bao sent off the other workers, but sent another Wang to take Chiang home, deliberately choosing a waterway instead of a dry road. When he was halfway through, he changed his eyes with Liu, the boatman who had bought it in advance, and pushed the half-drunk Jiang into the river

Drunk and stumbled, fell into the river and died. The government was panicked at this time, so it naturally didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, and simply determined the reason for falling into the water. Hao was heartbroken and cried for several days, wanting to die with him, but thinking that the child still needed to be taken care of, he persevered and continued to live as usual. Having said that, there are no more strong men in the family, and a woman with a child inevitably becomes more and more difficult, and it has developed to the point of going to the pawnshop to pawn things to survive.

When Mr. Bao saw that the time had come, he personally came to visit, first said some beautiful words such as regret and sigh, and then sent food and cloth, seeing that the mother and son were happy, and the words gradually became unruly.

Hao's heart was naturally happy when he saw Bao sending food like this. But when he became more and more unruly, he also understood what he was thinking. Hao is a smart woman, and when she saw Bao's sudden concern, she was immediately associated with her husband's death. Even so, because there is no evidence, she did not say anything, but only half-pushed, although she did not refuse, but she could always rein in at a critical time. Although Master Bao didn't take any advantage, he saw that Hao's did not refuse, but she was shy in her heart, so she never took it to heart, and then she was still attentive and caring, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and took care of her very thoughtfully. For these 'helps', Hao's received all the orders, and Master Bao was even more happy when he saw this.

Besides, Hao, since he suspected that Master Bao had something to do with her husband's death, he began to search for evidence in many ways. She was originally a poor woman and had no financial resources, but fortunately, Master Bao was generous and the things she gave were quite valuable. She resold it and got a lot of money. With the help of these money, she searched and finally found the long-term worker Wang who was bought by Master Bao and worked in Bao's mansion with Jiang. That night, when he saw Hao standing in front of him with a kitchen knife and wearing white filial piety, the worker Wang told everything that had happened, and then begged bitterly and shirked in every possible way, hoping that Hao would spare his life. After listening to him, Hao Shi didn't have any expression, just said that he would let him go. But when Wang thought that he had picked up his life and turned to leave, she suddenly slashed down with a knife and hit Wang's neck. Wang's neck carotid artery was stabbed, blood sprayed three feet, and the screams were very loud. Fortunately, it was already late at night, and the Wang family was quite remote, so it did not attract the attention of others. After taking care of the Wang family, the Hao family touched the melon along the vine, and the rowing Liu family naturally could not escape death. It is said that in the middle of the night, when I saw Hao's bloody eyebrows and hideous knife on the boat, the whole Wang family was lying on his stomach, where could he still beg for mercy? I had to watch the bright red kitchen knife draw a red arc in the night sky.

After doing so, she tied the bodies of the two together, tied stones and sank them into the deep water of the canal at night. When everything was done, she changed out of her bloody clothes again, threw the kitchen knife into a well in the city at dawn, and then met the blacksmith shop to open the door, and took a new kitchen knife by the way, and went home to make a fire and cook, everything was as before.

Things are finally clear, and the two wicked people will eventually get revenge, but how to avenge their husbands has become a problem. After thinking about it, Hao finally decided that even if he died, he would avenge his deceased husband. She first frequently flirted with Master Bao, implying that she had a secret promise, but she privately provoked it, only being the main house and not a concubine, and asked Master Bao to divorce his wife, so she was willing to do so. Master Bao was fascinated, so he naturally followed, fortunately, he was not the master who was afraid of the inside, although it took a lot of thought, it was finally done. So the two agreed on a date, and they didn't hold a wedding banquet, but only used a little pet, and in the evening, they took Hao's family into the house. As for Jiang Yingjie, he had already been cut off by the Hao family and became a stranger. The stick hit the house. Although this is the case on the surface, in fact, he has already invited his sisters from his hometown to come and take care of him secretly.

Dressed in red, Hao Shi, who was sitting in a small sedan chair, looked at the passers-by outside the sedan window, thinking of the appearance of his deceased husband and children, and couldn't help but burst into tears. Finally stopped the tears, but took out the red paper and dyed his lips, and when he finished smearing, he looked at the scenery outside the window, and saw that the sunset was like blood, reflecting the world and the sky red, and the sunset was sinking in the west, and a touch of sadness seemed to never rise again. When Hao saw the injury, tears fell again.

Tears fell into beads, slid down his cheeks, dripped on his knees, and splashed a small piece of his wedding dress, Hao looked down and saw that above his knees, a delicate and sharp little silver scissors were flickering slightly.
