145, Encounter with the Old Man (May 15)
"Okay, okay, give me something to eat, right? It's okay for guests to eat the rest, our family hasn't eaten for four days, as long as we give me food, I can do anything! ”
The guy waved his hand impatiently, ", how can I have any leftovers for you to eat?" Don't delay us in doing business! ”
"This little second brother, please!"
The man crossed his hands on his hips and shouted, "Hey! I said, I persuade you to leave quickly, otherwise the shopkeeper will come out in a while, and you should serve with sticks! ”
The middle-aged woman walked back in frustration, just passing by Su Rui and her party.
Su Rui didn't want to be nosy, but her recent home was too conspicuous, so she should be low-key and low-key.
It's a pity that it backfired, Su Rui didn't react when she passed by the old woman, but Meng Mingzhou and Meng Mingxu reacted beyond Su Rui's expectations.
"Mother Liu!"
The middle-aged woman heard the familiar shout, looked back, and saw the two brothers, Meng Mingzhou and Meng Mingxu.
The middle-aged woman looked at them in distraction, thinking that she was faint from hunger, and had hallucinations, and muttered, "Big young master, little young master!" The slave and maid have seen you again. ”
When Meng Mingxu saw his mother who had taken care of him in the past, regardless of the dirt on her body, he immediately rushed forward and hugged her, whimpering.
"Mother Liu, Mingxu thought he would never see you again."
The middle-aged woman hugged Meng Mingxu's head and realized that everything was real, not an illusion, and immediately burst into tears.
"It's good for you to live, it's good to be alive! It's good to be alive! Uncle and master, the old lady must be very relieved if she knows! ”
Meng Mingzhou grabbed the words and hurriedly asked, "My mother, her?" ”
The middle-aged woman sighed and cried loudly, "Mrs. ......"
When Meng Mingxu heard the cry, he also changed from whimpering to crying loudly.
Meng Mingzhou saw that the middle-aged woman's desire to speak stopped, and he already knew that his mother was no longer in the world, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Su Rui "..............."
The three Su Rui sisters looked at the three of them with a confused face, and they didn't know what to do, if they were worried, they saw Su Rui and her party dressed like a city person, don't be embarrassed, it's not good to stand at the door of their store like this, it didn't take long for someone to stop and watch.
Seeing that there were more and more people around, Su Rui had no choice but to weakly propose, "Which one, or, let's change places and continue to cry?" ”
Su Ying "..............."
Meng Mingzhou also felt that this was inappropriate, and nodded, "Sister Rui is right, Mother Liu, I heard you say that you are a family, do you mean that Uncle De and Brother Rong are also there?" ”
When Liu's mother heard her son's name, her eyes darkened and she sighed.
When Meng Mingzhou saw this, he knew that it was not good, and he didn't know how to comfort him at the moment.
Su Rui interjected in time, "This mother, where is your family?" Why don't you take us to them and have lunch together? ”
Mother Liu glanced at Su Rui's sisters and siblings with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Meng Mingzhou.
Meng Mingzhou walked to Su Rui's side, "At the beginning, Mingxu and I were trafficked on the street, and it was Sister Rui who saved us, this is not the time to talk about this, and I will explain to you when I have time." ”
Mother Liu understood, since her young master was willing to explain, it meant that this girl was born in a good family, not a messy person.
"Mother Liu, let's go!"
I walked around and around for a long time, and when Su Rui thought she was going to go out of the city, she finally arrived at a broken temple that I don't know what it was, and a middle-aged man was lying on a straw mat, coughing a few times from time to time, and there were two small children sitting next to him, the older one was a girl, and the younger one was a boy.
When the two children saw that Liu's mother was back, the older one picked up the younger child and staggered to her feet, walked to her side, and grabbed her sleeves.
The younger boy said weakly, "Grandma, Cong'er is hungry." ”
Before Liu's mother could say anything, Su Rui hurriedly handed Su Chennan to Su Ying, and took out a small paper bag from Meng Mingzhou's back basket.
opened it and handed it to them, it turned out that there were a few pieces of osmanthus cake inside, which were sold by Su Wan when she saw a mobile vendor selling them on the street, and wanted to taste them, so she pestered Su Rui to buy them.
The two children looked at Su Rui timidly, and did not dare to catch it.
Su Rui felt distressed when she saw this distress, and the feeling was the same as when she first saw the Su family's younger siblings when she just crossed over.
Su Rui took two pieces and handed them to them, "Eat, eat less first, and go eat later." ”
Mother Liu nodded to them, took it carefully, and just took a bite.
"Young Master Mingzhou!"
Su Rui was startled by a hoarse male voice, and when she looked up, it turned out that the man on the table had woken up and was looking at Meng Mingzhou excitedly.
He struggled to get up, but for some reason he coughed violently, and the two frightened children forgot to chew the osmanthus cake in their mouths.
And Su Chennan was also awakened in Su Ying's arms, seeing the unfamiliar environment around her, and a few strange people, her little face nervously grabbed Su Ying's collar.
Liu's mother and Meng Mingzhou immediately ran over, picked up the man, and gently patted the back to relieve him.
Meng Mingxu furrowed his little eyebrows, "Uncle De, what's wrong with you?" ”
He has never seen such a weak Liu De, in his heart, Liu De's body has always been very healthy, and in winter, others are all kinds of cotton jackets and furs, only his consistent single clothes.
Mother Liu wiped her tears as she spoke, "Hey, the old lady and others were exiled that day, and our subordinates were also sold, but it was not the ordinary rich people who bought us, but a private coal mine, your Uncle De has always been in good health, so he can still carry it, but Brother Rong, you know Brother Rong, his body has not been very good, in that environment, he can't eat well, sleep well, and there is still endless work every day, as long as he doesn't do it well, he will be beaten badly, and within a few days Brother Rong will die in the coal mine." ”
Meng Mingxu left tears when he heard this, although Liu Rong is the son of a subordinate, but since he was a child, his father and mother, and his grandfather and grandmother, have treated Liu De's family as relatives, and Liu De's family is also loyal to his family.
Meng Mingzhou frowned, "That Uncle De's body?" ”
Liu's mother sighed and helped Liu De to give him relief, "Hey, you Uncle De can't be angry, find them to theorize, but private coal mines, who cares about you." Directly hit your Uncle De lying in bed for several days, and his health was not good, so he was called to go to the mine again, and from that day on, his health was not good. ”
Su Rui wondered, "It stands to reason that private coal mines should be managed very strictly, how did you come out?" ”
Liu De was panting, and said slowly in a hoarse voice, "It's also our luck, just a few days later, the government came to investigate, and the coal mine was negligent, so we had a chance to escape, but on the way to escape, the child was sick and his mother was sick, and we were penniless, so she died." ”
Su Ying couldn't help crying, and Su Chennan looked at her in a panic, at a loss.
Su Rui "..............."
