Chapter 239: Exile
"It's Sister Wang, I'm really bothering you." The blind mother-in-law leaned out with her hand half-extended.
The white-haired mother-in-law hurriedly walked two steps, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, while putting the porridge bowl on the bedside, "In the neighborhood for more than ten years, there are no good things, and a bowl of white porridge is still willing to be afforded." After that, he glanced into the bed and said in a low voice: "How is the eldest brother, he still refuses to eat." ”
Granny Xiong sighed, tears flashed in her eyes, "He's a stubborn temper, Junko ......" Speaking of this, her voice was a little choked.
Seeing this, the white-haired mother-in-law hurriedly pulled her hand and said in a dumb voice: "Okay, okay, the matter has been reported to the government, there will always be a day when the truth will come out, the top priority is to take care of yourself first." As he spoke, he pointed back, "By the way, a little lady has come to see you, can you remember?" ”
The blind mother-in-law paused, turned her eyes to the direction of the door and hesitated, "Who?"
"Mother-in-law, it's me." Wen Shu stepped forward with the basket on his shoulder.
Mrs. Xiong has been blind for many years, but her ears are still sensitive, and they have no children and no daughters, in addition to these old neighborhoods, there are few young people who deal with them every day, so they heard it at the first time.
"It's a little lady Wen. Why is the little lady here, but there is a skin to nitrate? She rubbed her hands in frustration, "I'm sorry, the old man is sick, and he won't get better for a while, so the little lady should take it to another house." ”
"It's not nitrate, it's just to come to see the second elder." Wen Shu put the bamboo basket on the table on the side and smiled, "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, I specially sent some zongzi to the second elder, but I didn't expect the second elder to be sick, I don't know if I can look at the doctor?" ”
"See, what? It's all old problems. "Mrs. Xiong waved her hand indifferently? Then he sat up half-propped up, and said to Wen Shu: "Thank you little lady for remembering?" We took the zongzi? Little lady, go back quickly, be careful of your illness. ”
"Not afraid? I'm fine," Wen Shu sat down on the stool in front of the bed, "I'm okay anyway?" Let's talk to my mother-in-law. ”
Seeing this, the white-haired mother-in-law got up and said, "Then you guys talk?" I'll go back to my family and come back later. ”
"Hey, Sister Wang's slow walk, it's really troublesome for you."
The white-haired mother-in-law waved her hand and walked out of the courtyard gate.
After she's gone? Wen Shu saw that the pot at the head of the bed was no longer hot? Then he said: "Mother-in-law drink the porridge first, and it will be cold if it is late." ”
Mrs. Xiong nodded and reached out to touch it, and Wen Shu hurriedly took it and put it in her hand.
After the old woman drank two mouthfuls of porridge, she seemed to think of something, and reached out and pushed the old man who had been lying on her side? He shouted in a low voice, "Old man, drink porridge." ”
The old man who hasn't made a sound since Wen Shu came in? At this time, he opened his mouth rarely, "Don't drink." ”
"You.... How long will your temper be stubborn? "Granny Bear seems to be angry? Angrily put the bowl down, "Are you showing me this face?" Good? You don't drink it, do you? Then I won't drink it anymore, let's starve to death together, and it's better to go see my sons in advance. ”
Wen Shu hurriedly persuaded: "Mother-in-law is not interested in saying such angry words, I brought a lot of zongzi, since Weng Weng doesn't want to drink porridge, mother-in-law has drunk it all, and when Weng Weng wants to eat it, eat zongzi." ”
"Little lady, don't you know......." It may be that Wen Shu's comfort and companionship touched the old man's feelings for his grandson and the chord in his heart, her eyes turned red instantly, and she choked up: "He's blaming me, blaming me for not being optimistic about Shunzi, I'm ........."
Next, as if she had found someone to talk to, the old woman pulled Wenshu Lala and said a lot of miscellaneous things, including the loss of her grandson.
It turned out that Shunzi was really not the second elder's own grandson, but adopted.
The old couple originally had three sons, but the eldest son died when he was ten years old, and the second and third sons grew up to be adults, but one was killed by bandits on the way to run a business, and the other died of a middle-aged illness.
The loss of three sons in a row is not a big blow to the two old men, and when the third child died of illness, they were almost sixty years old, and it was impossible to regenerate at such an age.
The old couple who were devastated by the pain couldn't think about it, but the night before they were about to commit suicide, a baby's cry suddenly broke out outside the door of the shop that had been closed for a long time.
When they went out to look, they saw a swaddling baby in the snow under the eaves, and in the swaddling clothes was a baby who was only a full moon. The boy stopped crying at the sight of them, and grinned at them.
At that moment, the hearts of the old couple seemed to come alive again.
After carrying the child in, the couple discussed for a long time, and decided to adopt the child as a grandson, which is also regarded as the incense of the three sons.
In this way, the old couple left the child and named him Junko, hoping that he would be smooth and smooth for the rest of his life. And in order to let their children study, they began to shrink their clothes and diet, and only eat gruel every day.
I thought that the child could grow up peacefully, even if he couldn't enter the imperial examination in the future, he could marry a wife and have children normally, and continue the incense.
Unexpectedly, a rich and wealthy mother-in-law suddenly appeared a month ago and said that the child belonged to her girl, and now she wanted to bring people back. As compensation, they are willing to pay 30 yuan as compensation for raising children for the past six years.
Where would the old couple be willing, they adopted this child because of hope and sustenance, these six years they raised the child as their own grandson, not to mention the feelings they put in, not to mention 300 times, even if they were 300 times, they would not change it.
Besides, they have no children and no daughters, so what if they are given 300 guan.
That was the time Wen Shu bumped into it.
That time, because the neighbors came out to help, the woman saw that she couldn't please her, so she resigned.
But seven or eight days ago in the evening, when night was approaching, Junko, who was squatting at the door and playing with a spinning top, was suddenly taken away, and the neighbors were cooking in the backyard at that time, and there was no one in the whole alley.
Although Mrs. Xiong was sitting at the door, she couldn't see with her eyes, and she only heard her little grandson screaming a few times and then fell silent. She shouted loudly, and when the old man rushed out, there was no one in the alley.
The old man chased out of the alley, only to see a carriage disappear at the end of the street.
Because they didn't see who took the child away, the matter was reported to the government, and the government couldn't solve the case for a while, so they only waited patiently.
"It's all me, it's my blind old woman who is useless, Junzi was taken away, but I don't even know who the person who took him away is, I'm useless, I shouldn't live in this world anymore." As she spoke, the old woman was about to hit the wall with her head tilted.
Wen Shu was startled, and hurriedly grabbed her, "Mother-in-law, don't be impulsive, Shunzi was just taken away, and one day she will be recovered, think about it carefully, was there anything abnormal that day, what about that mother-in-law, could it be that mother-in-law who took it away." ”
The old woman shook her head: "I don't know, the person who took away Shunzi didn't make a sound that day, I don't know if it's a man or a woman, even if the woman took it away, we don't know who she is and who the main family is." ”
"Didn't you ask that day?"
"I asked, but she didn't say, only said that we should give her the child."
That's weird!
came to pick up the children but didn't even want to reveal their identities, did they not want the old couple to get entangled in the future, or for other reasons?
Wen Shu tried to think about what had happened that day, when she was entering the alley, and then she saw a woman in a dark green hair hurrying past her.
The woman was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with an ordinary disc face, and she had walked in a hurry, and she had only glanced at it in a hurry, but she vaguely seemed to see a black mole on her chin near her lips.
It seems to be on the left....... Wen Shu scratched his head.
Ay....... These clues alone are of little use.
The woman's appearance was also seen by the old man and the neighbors that day, and the difficulty now is that where to find such a person in this huge Kaifeng City.
As for the green canopy carriage........
It's even more ordinary, most of the horse-drawn carts pulling people on the street are like that.
Wen Shu shook his head helplessly.
