"It's useless...... Mrs. Xu held the teacup and sighed lightly. Mother Xu, who was standing beside her, leaned down and asked quietly, "Madam, what should I do now?" Grandma Yuan's young grandmother can't get through there, or why don't we wear a letter ourselves? Young Master Yuan usually cares about his daughter-in-law, if he knows......"

"Confused." Mrs. Xu put down the teacup in her hand lightly, "I want to be able to pass on this letter here, I have to spend so much effort to toss Xie Zijing's girl sick first, and then let people encourage her to pass on this letter?" ”

Mrs. Xu held her forehead with one hand and said: "What happened last time, the old lady is not very comfortable looking at me now, if I send a message to recruit Yu Wenyuan back, the old lady won't eat me raw?!" Forget it, let's think again. Yu Wenyuan and Mu Qingling, a son-in-law who doesn't know anything, and a yellow-haired girl who has no father...... There won't be any big mess. ”

Mother Xu said with a smile: "That's that, when these two are in the house, which one doesn't serve the wife as a mother, and it's not that the wife says anything, they do whatever they do." If you want me to say, the top priority now is to take advantage of Mu Qingling's girl who is far away in Hangzhou, and settle the matter of our Young Master Wen Min first. ”

Speaking of Yu Wenmin, Xu's face was a little softer, but then he frowned again, "Do you think I don't want to?" But this is the old lady is angry, if I talk about Wen Min at this juncture, the old lady will not be happy. The second is Wen Min. Xu remembered his son's unwavering affection for Mu Qingling, and he was angry, "I really don't know where Mu Qingling's dead girl learned the foxy tricks, which made Wen Min miss her." If I'm in a hurry, it's hard to guarantee that Wen Min won't make trouble with the old lady. ”

Mrs. Xu took a sip of the teacup, and said, "How many times these old ladies have mentioned that they want to match Mu Qingling to Wen Min, I have pretended to be confused and blocked back. It's still Yu Ling's short-lived ghost who is hateful, and if she dies, she still has to leave a daughter to kill me! Why didn't she go with her short-lived mother! ”

"Ouch, Mrs. Caution!" Xu's mother hurriedly persuaded Xu, "Mrs. is not happy, and the old lady can't force it, right?" The marriage of this child still has to be decided by the parents, and the old lady has 10,000 hearts, and she can't do this. The wife does not need to be angry. ”

Xu Shi slowed down, rubbed his forehead and sighed: "I just hope that Wen Min understands my hard work, forget it, the Yuan family also intends to marry the master, and there is no hurry at this time." I said to Wen Min slowly, wait for the old lady to be too strong, and then find a way. ”

"Speaking of which, what's going on with Feng Ji? It's time for this season's interest to be handed in. Why hasn't there been any movement at this point, you go and help me urge it. Xu suddenly remembered that no one had come from the Feng family, and instructed Xu's mother. Mother Xu hurriedly responded: "Eh, I'll go later." Don't worry, Mrs., the Feng family has been by his wife's side for decades, and nothing can go wrong. ”

When it comes to her own private house, Xu Shi can't help but care a little about it, but after thinking about it, Feng Ji has not helped her with this for a year or two, maybe it was just a delay on the road, and she didn't take it seriously after a few words.

……

In the past few days, there have been many major events in Hangzhou, first Yunwai Temple was attacked by gangsters, and there were many casualties in the temple. Fortunately, Miss Mu stayed in the temple at that time, and with the help of the Mu family, all the villains were ambushed.

Not long after this news was transmitted back to Hangzhou, before the common people could thoroughly understand the matter, news came out that there was a cult hidden in Hangzhou! This is terrible, because the government suppresses it strictly, and the land of Liangjiang has never heard of any evil ways. But the more you haven't seen it, the more evil the rumors related to it become.

What cult members will eat people's brains in order to live forever, and those who have seen a cult will be confused and unconscious, and they will do whatever they are told to do; in short, there are all kinds of messy rumors, and in the past few days, there have always been heavily armed soldiers coming in and out, which has made the air in Hangzhou a little tighter.

In such an atmosphere, Yu Wenyuan followed behind Commander Wu and led his troops to neighboring counties to suppress bandits. Commanding the envoy to come forward, it was a straight iron-armored long knife, and the soldiers and horses moved together.

The city of Hangzhou has always been the boundary of peace, and it is rare to see even the scene of the government moving in a big way, let alone sending troops to fight. In order to prevent a civil uprising, the prefect's yamen posted a notice at the gate of the city, strictly stating that the government had found out that there were traitors who had colluded with the cult in an attempt to cause trouble to the people's livelihood, so that the people would pay more attention to it in recent days, and if there was anyone suspicious in their eyes, they could report it to the government.

Under the deterrence of the first two events, the fall of the Feng family did not set off much of a storm in Hangzhou. Feng Shuang was detained in the prefect's prison, because a magistrate was involved, and Zhou Qingnian could only verify the situation and register it, waiting for the new governor to take office.

The hearts of the people in Hangzhou City did not last long, and it did not affect the surrounding towns and villages at all. Zhou Qingnian pressed tightly, if it was found that someone was alarmist and demagoguery, it would be pulled into the government to play the board, those who should do business should be traded, and those who should be planted should be planted, and the city gate still queues up every day, except that the inspection has become a little stricter, there is nothing unusual.

In this way, the common people have little interest in talking. After all, the bandits are not suppressed in the city of Hangzhou, and they can't see the sword and sword, so it is difficult to know what the real situation is like just by imagination, and the conversation is limited. It's better to care about what your daughter-in-law will cook at noon today, which is more practical.

Standing in front of the half-fallen wooden door, Wang took the food basket handed to her by the peasant woman, and when she opened it, she saw that there were several cracked white bread buns, a plate of cabbage with no oil star in sight, and a small bowl of black pickles that I couldn't tell what they were.

Wang gritted his teeth and sneered: "It's a shame that you personally sent it to me, not to mention that I thought it was pig food prepared by which house." Our mother and son live here, and it's not like no one has paid for food, so you just take this little thing!? ”

No matter how the Wang family cried and sprinkled, she and Mu Cai were still sent to this rural Zhuangzi by Mu Lian, saying that it was Zhuangzi, but in fact, there were only three or five tenant farmers and hundreds of acres of land. There wasn't even a decent house. The Wang family and Mu Cai live in a partial house of a tenant farmer, barely sheltered from the wind and rain, and no matter how much they can't talk about.

The peasant woman who delivered the food was also a spicy person, and after finishing her own work, she had to serve a "wife" who was kicked out, she had already held back the fire in her belly, and now seeing that the Wang family was unhappy, she also roared: "Ouch, hey, it's good to have something to eat." It's also a pity that there is not much work in the field during this time, I can still make some for you to send over, after a while, you will be busy, and your own food will have to be solved in the field, and it will not be too late for you to put your wife's shelf at that time! ”

The peasant woman had a mouthful of buckteeth, and her saliva flew as she spoke. Wang Shi dodged back, protected the food basket in his hand, and scolded: "Phew! You old prostitute, seeing that the old lady is in trouble now, even you dare to pose in front of me?! ”

"Ouch, yes! You are a city wife, and you don't look down on us peasant wives. The bucktooth peasant woman crossed her waist and grinned, "But it's so decent, why were you driven here, madam?" I also brought a lame son, ouch, the two legs are broken, I don't know if it's okay down here? No, isn't that a castration? ”

When Wang heard that the peasant woman said that his son was not good, his face turned pale, and he was about to come forward and beat her. But those who work in the fields all year round, if nothing else, have strong bodies. pushed Wang away.

The peasant woman laughed loudly, "Ouch, I'm wrong. It's really a gelding that can be sent into the capital, and it can be eaten by the nobles as cattle and horses. But your son can't even stand up, and he's really not as good as a castration. I'm just going to take advantage of the fact that you can still move, and throw him into the well with him, so as to save the old man from suffering. ”

Seeing that it was not too early, and she had to follow her man to the field after eating, the peasant woman squinted at Wang's eyes, pouted and turned to leave.

Wang was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and his hand holding the basket was so hard that his bones turned white. There was another weak call from Mu Cai in the house, and Wang had to swallow this breath and go into the house to serve Mu Cai.

Mu Cai's leg was barely connected because there was no good medicine, but it was impossible to have more. The rest of his life can only be spent in bed, and as soon as Wang enters the house, he smells a stench and knows that Mu Cai is pulling on the bed again. Placing the basket on a lame table against the earthen wall, Wang walked to the side of the bed and pulled out the coarse cloth that Mu Cai had underneath him.

The coarse cloth could no longer see the color, it was dark and shallow, and the smell was unpleasant. But with such a piece of coarse cloth, the Wang family is reluctant to throw it away now.

"Mother, who were you talking to outside just now? The noise gives me a headache. Mu Cai leaned on the bed and said weakly. Wang took out the basket of food, and said reluctantly: "No one, just casually said a few words to the mother-in-law who delivered the food." Eat quickly, I'll help you down and take a walk when you're done. ”

Only then did Mu Cai see clearly what Wang had stuffed into his hand, Mu Cai looked at it and said, "Why is there no meat?" Mother, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. These things, how can these things get their mouths! ”

Wang's heart ached, and he reluctantly said: "This Zhuangzi is not as good as at home, you eat first, and then your mother will think of a way." Mu Cai threw the things in his hand to the ground and cried, "I won't eat it!" I don't eat! I want to go back, mother, I want to go back! Go tell your father! Let Daddy take us back! ”

Wang hurriedly picked up the white-flour steamed bun that Mu Cai threw on the ground, and rolled it around on the ground, and a thick layer of black mud stuck to the surface of the steamed bun. Mu Cai was still shouting, and Wang's heart was unbearable, only to feel a surge of heat in his eyes, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time came up.

She slapped Mu Cai's face and said sharply, "Go back? I still want to go back! But where are we going! Your father has even married a new lady, do you still expect him to remember us?! ”

Mu Cai was stunned by Wang's slap, and when he heard Wang's words, he said timidly: "But, but I'm his son...... He can't deny me! ”

Wang sneered, but tears flowed down his eyes, "Son? Your father is in the prime of life, and it's not easy to want a son? My son, why don't you understand that your father doesn't want us anymore! ”

Mu Cai was at a loss, knowing in his heart that Wang's words were right, but he couldn't believe it. If he believes it and recognizes the facts, how can he live? His legs are already useless, if he doesn't have the Mu family, how can he live?!

"Son!" Wang grabbed Mu Cai's shoulders with both hands and stared at him directly, his eyes flashing with crazy and desperate light, "None of us can be relied on, you know?" No one will help us, only on our own! Do you know! ”

"Self, self?" Mu Cai repeated in a daze, "Yes, on our own." Wang's words were sonorous and powerful, and even his face showed a bit of resoluteness and ruthlessness. You tell me, are you sure that the person who broke your leg in the first place is a strange man? Wang asked.

"The one who injured you in Mu Qingling's mansion is sure it's a young man, not the Mu family or the Yu family?" Wang's expression was paranoid and crazy, and in the dim room, her eyes were shining, like a beast lurking in the night, looking at her prey and waiting for an opportunity to move.
