Chapter 19 Zhou's helplessness

……

Although Paper Kite bought a lot of things, there are still many things to do as a house that has been idle for a long time.

For example: the water leakage in the west wing, you have to ask someone to fix it, the front yard and the back yard are overgrown with weeds, and the cleaning of more than a dozen rooms before and after... All kinds of ... I guess I can't finish it in three or five days just by doing it with my own hands...

But fortunately, everything has been considered by the paper kite, and the next day before the light was set, the paper kite brought a group of people from Su Mansion over, and the courtyard was suddenly busy.

Mixed in the crowd, although Yang Li's role in this kind of physical work is basically equal to nothing, but for the purpose of exercising, Yang Li is still busy sweating with his sleeves...

Time slipped away quickly in the process of Yang Li taking care of his new home in a group of subordinates, and in a blink of an eye, it was another sunset two days later.

The dusk sun dyed the whole city of Fuzhou golden, and the wind blowing from the sea stirred the smoke of the cooking at night, and also drove away the pedestrians walking through the streets, and the noisy city once again quietly entered a quiet and peaceful night.

Staring into the distance where the night was getting thicker, looking forward to the somewhat decaying door frame, his vision had shortened from the gate in the distance to the almost withered bauhinia bush opposite.

But even so, even if the night has come to his feet, even if his eyes are so sour that they hurt, Zhou still stood straight and didn't move.

Because of the sourness, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, were dried by the wind, flowed down again, and dried again, and so on and so forth, and the tears left two eye-catching marks at the corners of her eyes.

While the night wind blew the corners of her clothes, it also ruffled her hair, and in just three days, her face full of worry was almost ten times older.

"My Li'er, where the hell have you been?"

"You're not familiar with life here, and you're still sick... If you have a good one, how can your mother live? ”

"My Li'er, are you still alive?"

……

Where she stood, looking into the distance, her dry lips squirming slightly, speaking words that only she could hear.

Even though her vision was blurred to the point where she couldn't see anything clearly, she still stubbornly stood there.

Even if it's an injury, a sickness, a stupidity...

All I need is my son...

This is a mother who is waiting for her son to return, and all she needs to do is see her son appear to her from the night, and all is well...

Footsteps sounded, and a figure came from the night, Zhou was a little nervous, but unfortunately, this figure was short and fat, obviously a middle-aged woman.

It's not my son...

Seeing the visitor, Zhou did not hide the disappointment on his face, and gently squirmed his dry lips.

Coincidentally, at this time, the reason for the decay of the beams of this house, the night wind blew, and a piece of green tile above his head fell to the ground with a bang, making an abrupt loud noise.

"Who is it?"

The person who came was obviously startled by this abrupt voice, and hurriedly looked around, just in time to see Zhou standing motionless at the door of the room.

In the dark night, a sudden loud noise was already terrifying, and then I saw a man standing motionless in front of him!

This time, the woman was scared half to death, and the woman immediately burst into a rage: "Don't you know how to light an oil lamp at night?" Pretend to be a ghost here, believe it or not, tomorrow my mother won't give you food!

Hum... Tomorrow, when the old lady's 60th birthday is over, the livestock enclosure will not be given to you to live in, the old man and the lady can't pull their faces to drive people away, this wicked person I will do it..."

In fact, Zhou is not afraid of living on the streets, but now that Yang Li is gone, she is afraid that Yang Li will not be able to find herself when he comes back.

Immediately, he could only cautiously accuse again and again: "Li'er is not here, I am afraid that I will waste the Bai family's lamp oil money, so I didn't light the lamp... Please don't be surprised by Granny Jiang..."

"Hmph... How much money is the lamp oil? ”

Mrs. Jiang glared angrily, and before she could speak, a rough maid behind her had already stepped forward, and said sourly: "Granny Jiang, don't you know, this stinky woman eats more than the three of us a day now... I just eat white rice, and I don't work...

Where is this guest, it is clear that he came to our Baifu to enjoy as an ancestor..."

"Isn't it..."

This time it was a mean-looking maid who was missing two front teeth.

Of course, if Yang Li was here, he would have recognized it at a glance, and the three rough maids who followed Jiang Pozi happened to be the three he met when he went out: green bamboo, purple bamboo, jade bamboo...

Originally, the three of them were all maids who served the old lady in the inner courtyard, and even in Baifu, they saw that everyone was superior.

But because of Yang Li, Zizhu was slapped off by him on the spot with a brick, and it didn't count, and the three of them were all reduced to rough maids by Bai Shuyin.

If it weren't for this, this big night, even the eight big girls would not have invited the three of them to come to this place where the livestock are stinky and smelly.

This feud is not small.

The debt owed by the son, the old lady will pay it, this reason is justified.

How can the three maids of Zizhu and Luzhu make the Zhou family feel better, Luzhu just finished speaking, and heard Zizhu snort with a crooked mouth: "Eat our family's food for nothing, go out to find work to do by yourself, save your own pocket after earning money, and then come back to eat our family's food, isn't it to eat the work of three people alone?" ”

"No... It's not what you think..."

Zhou's face was helpless, and he was busy explaining: "I've been going out for the past few days to find my Li'er... I walked a lot, and it was all foot work, so I ate a few more bowls of rice! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou's voice paused, looked at Mrs. Jiang pitifully, and said in a mournful voice: "Granny Jiang, have you seen my Li'er?" He has been missing for three days, I have searched all over Fuzhou City and have not found it, this child is not in good health, and now the early spring night is cold, I am afraid that he will freeze..."

"Hmph... I don't think I'm optimistic about your stupid son, do you think that our whole house is just like you, idle all day long, and has nothing to do, and specially shows you your son? ”

Mrs. Jiang shook her face full of fat, and said harshly, thinking that the old lady's 60th birthday tomorrow would not be messy, and immediately dropped another sentence: "I'll clean you up after tomorrow..."

Immediately, she waved her hand and walked away with the three rough maids.

It is estimated that she has not been bullied very well, Zizhu is unwilling, although she has gone away, she can still hear her voice coming from the night: "Granny Jiang, after tomorrow, remember to call me when you drive people away, I want to beat this stinky woman who eats and drinks with my own hands..."

Lu Zhu also coaxed: "Isn't the son of that stinky woman three days ago very angry?" Not only did he dare to beat someone in front of the young lady, but he also caused us to be punished here to be rough maids, and said that he would pick up people three days later... Hmph..."

Yuzhu said: "What to pick up?"

I'm afraid I'm already starving to death somewhere by now, there are hundreds of people in the wilderness of Fuzhou Mansion every year? Do you think silver is so easy to make? As far as his poor and sour appearance is concerned, Wen can't take the examination to enter the court as an official, and he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, so he can't carry anything, and it would be strange if she could find an errand..."

Zizhu thought so, and hurriedly echoed: "Who wouldn't say big words, maybe where to be a beggar at this time, I'm sure that if he can really show up tomorrow, he will definitely come to beg our master not to drive their mother and son away..."
