Chapter 63: The Old and the Young Are Helpless
As he spoke, the old man burst into tears.
The desolate cry made Zong Jiyuan's heart sour, she really couldn't look at the lonely appearance of the old man, watching the old man cough again, thought about it again, and turned back to Wang Yudao,
"Brother Wang, please go out and buy some licorice and a few autumn pears and come back, oh, by the way, and buy some more to eat."
"Uh......"
Wang Yu looked at her, rolled her eyelids,
"I'm still paying for it."
"Of course, you know I'm never used to carrying money when I go out."
Zong Jiyuan's face was as natural as a matter of course.
Wang Yu was angry and funny, and said,
"Someday, I'll have to find a chance for you to get them all back."
The words were ruthless, but he still obediently went out.
Seeing him leave, Zong Jiyuan looked up at the gradually hot sky, and helped Mrs. Wang to the courtyard, a relatively shady place, and waited for her to sit down before saying,
"Old man, in fact, the younger generation also came here to see if it was true because I heard that something seemed to have happened to Wang San yesterday."
"Even if it's not true, don't ask him to do anything."
As if he saw that the young man in front of him not only had no malice, but also had a good heart, the old man no longer had too much vigilance, and persuaded,
"That kid is my wife's son, I know very well, he can't do anything at all, child, you'd better deal less with him, don't let him be deceived."
"But, old man, Wang Sanxiang said that he was not alone, and said that there was a friend named Wei Xingyin who was helping him."
Zong Jiyuan mentioned Wei Xingyin, in fact, he just wanted to test it, and it would be better if he could find out something.
Who knows, as soon as this name came out, I saw that Mrs. Wang's face changed greatly, and she grabbed her hand.
"Son, then you can't trust him! This, this bastard boy, he, how did he get mixed up with that kid......"
"What's wrong?"
It seems that the old man must know Wei Xingyin, but Zong Jiyuan still asked puzzled.
Mrs. Wang patted her thigh and said,
"Child, you don't know, in fact, Wei Xingyin is the second brother of my daughter-in-law, don't look at my daughter-in-law is a virtuous and good person, and the rest of the Wei family is not bad, but this Wei Xingyin went to the mountains and got involved with the bandits, and his Wei family has long broken off relations with him. Child, don't have anything to do with that Wei Xingyin...... Three things that bastard, it looks like this time it's really over......"
At this point, the old man closed his eyes in complete despair.
The person who gave Wang San an idea was indeed Wei Xingyin, Zong Jiyuan had a number in his heart, but looking at the old man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel pity, although he secretly made up his mind to help her, but he still had to ask about the case, so he said,
"Old man, are you saying that your daughter-in-law has died a long time ago?"
"Yes, after giving birth to my grandson Xiaobao, my body has always been weak, and only two years later, my poor daughter-in-law fell ill and died."
The old man nodded.
Zong Jiyuan showed a look of surprise,
"That's weird, not long ago, when I was talking about business with him, I saw Wang Sanxiang with a very young woman, I thought it was his wife."
"You mean the woman,"
Hearing that her son was with other women, Mrs. Wang's face didn't show too much disgust, and she was a little apologetic.
"That must be Wang Linghua from our same village, she and Sanxiang have known each other since childhood, and their relationship was very good, but when the old man of my family was alive, he said 'the same clan is not married', and he didn't agree to the two of them getting married, in fact, it was just because Linghua's family was not as good as my family. Later, I heard three things say, that girl married into a family surnamed Zhou in Hexi Village to make a second room, and somehow was driven back, alas, I don't like to ask about those things, why, do you see them together? ”
"yes,"
Zong Jiyuan nodded lightly,
"Where is that Wang Linghua's house, I have something I want to ask her."
"It's on Qiandao Street, under a big willow tree."
Mrs. Wang said a little too much in one breath, and sat there and began to gasp.
Seeing this, Zong Jiyuan began to massage and guide her qi, and after a while, the old man felt a lot more relieved, and was about to talk for a while, when Wang Yu stepped into the door with the things he bought.
"Alas, I bought it back, and it took a lot of effort to buy something in this village, so I took a long time to turn around."
"It's good that you didn't get lost, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back."
While joking with him, Zong Jiyuan took the things.
At this moment, a four- or five-year-old child staggered out of the room, rubbing his sleepy eyes and screaming,
"Grandma, who's back......"
"Xiaobao, it's a guest, you can go play by yourself."
Old Lady Wang immediately reluctantly changed into a smile and said.
Xiaobao blinked his big eyes, looked at the two strangers in the courtyard, and when he saw Wang Yu, he couldn't help but feel a little timid, and whispered,
"But, Grandma, I'm hungry......"
"Grandma will cook for you in a while......"
The old man said and was about to get up.
When Zong Jiyuan saw it, he stretched out his hand to hold the old man and said,
"Wait, you can rest again."
As he spoke, he opened the handbag that Wang Yu brought back, took out a steamed bun from it, separated it horizontally, and took out a few pieces of sauced beef and sandwiched them in the middle, and handed them to Xiaobao.
"Xiao Bao is good, take it and eat it yourself."
"Thank you, brother......"
Although it is very timid, the temptation of food can overwhelm everything, Xiaobao walked over with his little legs, took it in his hand and couldn't wait to eat.
Seeing that the child was eating very happily, Zong Jiyuan also threw his satisfied eyes and rewards at Wang Yu.
"Brother Wang is also very good at shopping."
"That's right,"
Wang Yu said proudly,
"By the way, I've bought everything you wanted."
Old Lady Wang looked at the two of them, her eyes were full of gratitude, and her lips trembled a little,
"This, how embarrassing is this, two sons, please sit down, I'll pour water."
"Hey, no, no,"
Zong Jiyuan hurriedly stopped her and said,
"Old man, you are still sick, you should sit well, and I will make you some soup to clear your lungs and relieve asthma. Brother Wang, I worked hard for you just now, let's sit here with the old man and rest for a while. ”
While squeezing his eyes mischievously, Zong Jiyuan turned around and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of asthmatic soup with licorice and autumn pears and other things, and boiled the autumn pear paste for cough relief, and then returned to the courtyard, and told Mrs. Wang how to eat, and at the same time left the food he bought, and finally comforted,
"Don't worry, old man, everything will be fine."
