Yang Shuping's injury has recovered well, and he has been able to move freely during this time.

It's just that the second girl is not at ease, and he still restricts his activity time every day to avoid being tired. What he does the most every day is to wake up and tease Lao Bai, and then sit in the leeward of the alley to bask in the sun.

But when Sun Chen went home today, he saw him sitting alone by the kang, stroking a small wooden box that was grinding and shiny, in a daze.

"Hey, master, why didn't you go out to talk to someone today?" Sun Chen asked suspiciously.

"Ah Chen is back?" Yang Shuping put away the box, and put it away with the expression of loneliness just now. "How is business going today? It's cold outside, come over and warm up on the kang. ”

Sun Chen replied to him while taking off his shoes and getting on the kang, "It's okay, it's not too cold, I can stand it." ”

"What did you just want to ask?" The two of them were quiet for a while, and Yang Shuping couldn't help but ask. Sun Chen has always been unable to hold back his words in front of him, and anything will be written on his face.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, what's wrong today, why aren't you upset, did you hear something on the street?"

During this time, Yang Shuping stayed in Sun Chen's house, but more than one person was angry.

Some people say that Sun Chen's brain is in the water and he raises Yang Shuping, who has nothing to do with him, and some people say that Sun Chen is very shrewd, just by raising Yang Shuping to eat and drink, he got his merchant business, and when Yang Shuping dies in the future, he can still get Yang Shuping's property, which is simply making a lot of money.

Some people also say that Yang Shuping is a stupid, let go of the two nephews in the family, and run to count on Sun Chen, who has nothing to do with him, the key is that this Sun Chen has just separated from his own father, think about how good will Yang Shuping be if he doesn't get along well with his own father?

Sun Chen had heard these words more than once, and every time he laughed at them, and when he returned home, he would even repeat them with a smile in front of Yang Shuping.

The most speechless thing is that Yang Shuping's two nephews, Yang Wentao and Yang Wenhai, came more than once, threatening, luring, and even kowtowing to admit their mistakes, full of tricks, so that the second girl began to have a headache as soon as she heard their voices, and finally put down the cruel words that if Yang Shuping can't change his mind, he won't be able to enter the ancestral grave if he dies.

"No, what others say, right or wrong, I know in my heart. It won't affect your mood because of this. Yang Shuping shook his head, "What kind of person are you, I don't know better than them?" ”

"Then why did you just frown?" Sun Chen couldn't figure it out, he deduced that if it wasn't for this reason, it was that the master didn't want to say something in his heart or he felt that it was useless to say it. But it's not a way to hold back my heart, so I can't help but gag with him, "That's because you owe money to others, and they found it?" ”

"Stinky boy, although your master and I are not full of money, but over the years, I have also saved some silver, how can I be the one who owes money and does not pay it back?!"

"Tell me, what were you thinking about with the wooden box just now? You can't be thinking about my teacher who I haven't met, right? After this period of contact, Sun Chen and Yang Shuping became more and more familiar, and they became more and more careless when they spoke.

"Your sister?" Yang Shuping's eyes became trance-like, "Yes, I just miss her a little~"

Sun Chen's words, about Shi Niang, Yang Shuping never mentioned anything to him, Sun Chen's impression of her was only that she was bleeding heavily during childbirth, and in the end, the child could not be saved, and one corpse and two lives Xiang Xiaoyu died.

"She is a very diligent person, and she has never been idle at home, cleaning the yard, washing clothes, cooking, tidying up the vegetable garden, and there is no one in the village who is more refreshing than her. She does needlework very well, even if her clothes are torn and need to be patched, she will sew them very carefully and carefully, and I have never been disheveled when I am away from home all day. ”

Yang Shuping's eyes looked out the window, his faint tone seemed to be talking to himself, and the tenderness accumulated in his eyes made his face look radiant.

"However, I never cared if something would happen to her when she stayed at home alone after I went out." Yang Shuping's face showed irrepressible pain, "She has been pregnant for more than eight months, and she said that her stomach was a little uncomfortable when she got up that morning, so I cooked porridge for her to eat." When I was about to call Langzhong, she said that it was okay, her stomach didn't hurt anymore, and it happened that I made an appointment with someone else that day to go to buy a piece of goods, so I left in a hurry. ”

Yang Shuping's hand clenched tighter and tighter, obviously trying his best to suppress his emotions, "When I came back from the stock, I saw her lying on the bed, motionless." ”

"I thought she was asleep, and scolded her for being a 'lazy woman', but when I covered her with a quilt, I found that she was covered in sweat, not asleep, but had fainted."

"When I called Lang Zhong to come over, saying that she was overworked, so that she had a fetal gas, Lang Zhong pinched her for a long time before she woke up."

"After drinking a few pairs of tocolytics, I thought it would be fine, but when it came time to give birth, I was bleeding profusely."

With Yang Shuping's narration, his mood became more and more sad, "Actually, I shouldn't have gone out after she had fetal gas, from her pregnancy to childbirth, I didn't even stay at home for a month, either going out to sell goods or partying with those so-called friends to have fun, I never thought that I was not at home, and all the work at home would fall on her head~"

Yang Shuping couldn't help but break down emotionally when he said this, he cried bitterly and grabbed Sun Chen's hand, "Ah Chen, you said, your master and the child left me in the end, did I ask for it?" Could it be that God was punishing me for not caring enough about her at that time, so I lived so many years of lonely life?! ”

Sun Chen didn't expect that the gentle master on weekdays would hide such a heavy knot in his heart. But he searched his intestines and stomach, but he couldn't find a word that could explain him, so that he could not blame himself so much.

Yang Shuping was obviously not ready to comfort him, he took out the wooden box that he had been stroking just now from the kang head, and after opening it, it was full of beautiful silk flowers, headdresses, wooden hairpins, and Sun Chen even saw a golden hairpin.

"When she was alive, I never thought about buying her these things to dress up. I have always ignored that she is only in her youth, and I still sell these things in vain, but she has never asked me for them. ”

"...... today?" Sun Chen asked tentatively.

"Today is the death day of her and her children." Yang Shuping opened his mouth quietly, his eyes looked out through the window, and in his tone, there was endless melancholy and nostalgia.

Sun Chen was silent, he thought that the most important thing to do at this moment was to leave enough space for the master, so that he could slowly recall the past in order to get comfort, right?

He gently put on his shoes and got off the kang, and before closing the door, he saw his master Yang Shuping standing there motionless and looking out of the window.
