Chapter 134: Rivers and Lakes (3)
The night was quiet, with a few stars falling in the sky, and the stars were scorching and scattered silver all over the ground, and at this time the evening breeze blew gently, carrying a wisp of dampness unique to the early winter season in the south, so that people couldn't help but gather their clothes.
A long tree fence encloses a small village, and the chickens and ducks are kept in cages, cooing from time to time.
The woman in scarlet approached the first household, knocked lightly, and the door creaked open, revealing the face of a fat and tall woman.
"Who are you looking for?"
When the fat woman saw that there was a beautiful woman holding a child at the door, she immediately raised her vigilance: "Don't say that you came to recognize your father with a child! My family official has a very high eye, and it is impossible for you to be so good!"
Hearing this, the woman in scarlet clothes hurriedly shook her head: "You misunderstood, I'm not here to recognize my relatives...... This aunt, your surname is Qiu?"
The fat woman nodded: "yes, how do you know?"
The woman in the scarlet dress told her husband about meeting her husband at the restaurant.
The fat woman showed an angry face when she heard this, and scolded: "This damn drunkard, if you don't just mix a few words, you'd rather drink in the sharp-billed monkey Nashlaozi shop than go home!"
After scolding, he immediately changed his face to a kinder face, and smiled at the scarlet woman who was still standing at the door: "Sister, it's a big night, it's not easy for you to drag your family outside, since it was my family official, let's come in quickly." ”
As he spoke, he turned sideways and let the woman in scarlet into the house.
Yuehuan'er behind her saw that this woman had a fierce face, she was a little scared, hesitant and unwilling to go in, and after being glared at by the woman in scarlet, she immediately walked into the door with small steps.
The structure of the house is wooden, the area is not large, in addition to the living room with the door, there are two small rooms inside, one for sleeping people and one for the kitchen.
Looking at the surrounding furnishings, it is an ordinary peasant household, only a huge tiger skin hanging on the wall of the main hall, which is very proflamboyant and mighty.
Seeing the scarlet-clothed woman's eyes on the tiger skin, the fat woman smiled honestly and explained: "This tiger skin was personally beaten by my official on the mountain, saying that it can get rid of evil spirits, behind our village is Dahan Mountain, there are many tigers and leopards in the mountains, and there are thieves and robbers, if the girl wants to pass by there tomorrow, but you need to be careful!"
Hearing this, the woman in scarlet clothes nodded hurriedly, raised her hand to take the cup handed over by the fat woman, and thanked her, but she was not in a hurry to drink.
The obese woman invited three more people to sit down on a chair and brought out a plate of peanuts.
She looked a little embarrassed: "We don't have any snacks in our family, don't dislike it, sister." ”
The woman in scarlet clothes hurriedly shook her head: "It's already bothering my aunt, how dare my sister dislike it anymore!"
So the fat woman also sat down on the side, she looked at the woman in scarlet clothes for a while, looked at Yuehuan'er for a while, and finally cautiously glanced at Mr. Yu, who was standing on the side with cold air, and couldn't help but be curious, gossiping:
"Sister, I'm really a little curious, this little girl next to you is so haggard, at first glance, she just gave birth to a child, I see that your clothes beat Ye is not like being born in a poor family, why don't you cultivate at home at this time, but run around with your child outside!"
The scarlet-clothed woman's eyes flickered slightly when she heard this, but she sighed, gently caressed the baby girl in her arms with her fingers, and said helplessly:
"Auntie don't ask, if it wasn't out of necessity, who would want to do this. ”
After speaking, he motioned to Mr. Yu on the side to take out a few copper plates from his pocket and handed them over, and said with a smile: "Auntie, sister, I went out too much, and the money I carried on me was really not much, so I can only find a few copper plates now, you can look at it and collect it!"
The fat woman's eyes were firmly on the copper coin, but she said that she was embarrassed, and waved her hand again and again to refuse.
"Alas, this is a good loan, why are you embarrassed to ask you to collect money!"
The fat woman's face was sneering, but the palm of her hand was firmly holding the coin, she thought about it, suddenly stood up, patted the hem of her clothes with the other hand, and said with a smile: "Oh, you can't take your money for nothing, my aunt will go and steam a few hot steamed buns for you!"
"Thank you, auntie!" the woman in scarlet clothes said and left, showing gratitude.
The food she ordered at the store before was only enough for Yuehuan'er to eat alone, and she and Mr. Yu were still hungry.
When she went out this time, she only brought a winter quilt and a few clothes, and as for the money, Duan Zhengqing didn't give any before leaving!
The woman in scarlet clothes is actually not related to Yuehuan'er herself, and the reason why she takes care of her so wholeheartedly is because Yuehuan'er is Duan Min's biological mother.
Duan Min is the little baby in her arms, and she is the only heir of the Duan family.
Since Yan Linglong's miscarriage, all the women who have had skin-to-skin relations with Duan Zhengqing have been killed by her.
Duan Zhengqing is now thirty years old, but he has no heirs under his knees!
The woman in scarlet clothes is named Luo Hongyu, a few years ago, her mother sold her daughter to pay off her debts, and sold Luo Hongyu, who returned from the Huashan faction to a gang boss.
Before she could go back to the division to report the news, she was caught by the bandits.
If it weren't for Duan Zhengqing passing by and the hero saving Mei and saving her, she would probably have become the bandit's wife.
Out of retribution, she has been guarding Duan Zhengqing as a guard.
Ever since Luo Hongyu didn't like men, Duan Zhengqing had completely stopped thinking about hooking up with her, and just treated her as an ordinary subordinate.
Yan Linglong knew about her existence, and was very vigilant at first, but after a long time, she accidentally witnessed an obscure private affair of her, and from then on, not only was she no longer suspicious, but she was also respectful of her from then on.
Although Luo Hongyu has always looked down on Duan Zhengqing's style, she can't let this innocent child be disposed of by the vicious master mother.
Fortunately, it is a girl, if Xiaomin is a man, let the tigress know that it must be at all costs, and she will kill him to get rid of the trouble.
The person who is now in charge of the Duan family is the old lady Duan, of course the old lady will not let Yan Linglong kill his heirs, but as the saying goes, there has always been only a thousand years to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand years.
What's more, Yan Linglong is the main mother, and she really wants to deal with a concubine born to a concubine who has no name, and she doesn't kill him directly, but just keeps tossing and looking for trouble, which is enough to give people a headache.
Yan Linglong, as the only daughter of the Yan family, after getting married, the eldest master of the Yan family handed over the Yan family's network to her.
Yan Linglong inherited the Yan family's relationship network, network of contacts, and a group of secret guards specially cultivated after Master Yan was kidnapped again, these secret guards are all martial arts masters hired by him at a great cost, all of them are strong in martial arts, either to repay favors, or for Lord Yan's medical skills, although the sense of belonging to the Yan family is not high, but the loyalty is okay.
As long as Yan Linglong is willing to take the time, she can always find out what clues.
If she knew that Yuehuan'er gave birth to a girl, maybe the follow-up measures would not be so drastic.
