Chapter 224: The Posthumous Son (2)

"Let me take a closer look!"

As he spoke, Meng Xichang took the child from the old woman and held him in his arms.

"Look, this little baby, with a wrinkled nose, this eyes, this chin, this face shape! It's like the second young master who was alive and well when he was a child. ”

Meng Xichang couldn't help pinching the child's face excitedly, and the child actually bloomed with a pure smile, which made Meng Xichang's heart soften instantly.

"Master, like you! Jiagui's chin is like you, plus this child, you all put together, like carved out of a mold! It's so similar! The first time I saw it, I knew that this child was related to our family! He Qingping poked Meng Xichang with her elbow and whispered, "This is too similar!" It's incredible! ”

"The Taoist priest doesn't seem to be wrong! That's right! I've got a son! This time it's the gods who have appeared! It seems that our temple is not in vain today, and the merit money is not donated in vain! The gods have appeared! ”

Looking at this child, Meng Xichang's eyes were bright, and his eyes, which were already squinted, became two crooked slits, excited and excited.

"What immortal has appeared?"

In the crowd, someone asked curiously.

"This baby was given to me by God!" Meng Xichang was happy, but he didn't pay attention to what he said, and after he finished speaking, he realized that he had lost many words.

"God gave it to you? Aren't you talking nonsense! It's not yours, don't take it away! The old woman sitting next to her muttered with a pout.

"That's right! It's not yours, you can't take it away! ”

"If someone loses their child, they will die in a hurry! Look at the orthodox dress, you won't be a human trafficker! ”

"Yes! God can still give you a child? What a joke! ”

"But no, taking away someone else's child, isn't it a lack of morality!"

People were pointing and chattering, Meng Xichang had no time to take care of these, he believed in fate, believed in what the Taoist priest said, and believed that this child belonged to him.

At this moment, another person squeezed in, saw the child in Meng Xichang's arms, stretched out his arm and grabbed it.

"This is my child!"

Who is the one who said this?

Zhao Sanscissors!

This child is Zhao Xiaolei.

Things are also coincidental, there is not much work in the tailor's shop these days, Zhao San saw that Ding Shujiao was sullen all day, and Xiao Lei was always sick, so he decided to go out for a walk, and by the way, put incense in the temple, and ask the gods to bless the child. Walking and walking, the two of them quarreled over trivial matters again, Ding Shujiao was angry, one person left first, Zhao Sanjian saw that the child was asleep, so he put down the child to chase, caught up with Ding Shujiao, and the two quarreled again. Hearing the crowd here, he remembered the child and hurried over.

"Give me back the baby!" Zhao Sanjian grabbed Meng Xichang.

The child was frightened and cried.

The death of the second young master, the miscarriage of the second wife, Meng Xichang, who has lost his second son again and again, has become more and more desperate for his son, he has lost his mind and thinks that the child in his hand is his, he holds the child to death, and does not let go, lest he lose it again. Zhao Sanjian couldn't argue, so he pointed out that it was a child, and said to everyone: "Everyone give a comment!" In broad daylight, snatch other people's children! There's still a king's law! ”

The scene made He Qingping feel quite embarrassed, she tugged at the corner of Meng Xichang's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Master, what's wrong with you!" This child is just like our Meng family, but they are really not our children! ”

He Qingping's words reminded Meng Xichang, he was stunned for a moment, looked at the child reluctantly, and then looked at Zhao Sanjian, and finally handed the child into the hands of the vegetable seller.

"Interesting, he said it was his, you said it was yours! Who is this child? In the crowd, someone curious.

"Maybe not! I want to pick up this doll and sell it for a good price! ”

"I also said, this baby is mine!" Someone followed.

"Stop fighting! Just ask this kid

Excuse me! ”

"You ask! If such a young child could speak, I would give you a big head down - take the big ding! One said, and the crowd burst into laughter.

"Yes, don't you know who this baby looks like!"

An older man, after that, walked up to Zhao Sanjian, squinted his eyes and looked him up and down carefully, shook his head, walked over there and looked at Meng Xichang, and then looked at the child who had quieted down, hesitated for a moment, took Meng Xichang's hand, and said to everyone: "If I am not dazzled, this person should be!" What do you see? ”

"Won't it?"

"That's right! This is! ”

"Yes!"

There was a good thing, and he walked up to Zhao Sanjian with a wicked smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"Haha, don't you hear that! This kid has nothing to do with you! Do you understand? This child is indeed not yours, and this child is too different from you! Unless your daughter-in-law .."

The crowd burst into laughter again.

No one noticed that Zhao Sanjian's face was changing from blue to white, from white to red.

Ding Shujiao rushed into the crowd and snatched the child from the old woman's hand.

"Second young grandmother!"

He Qingping recognized Ding Shujiao at a glance, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Second young grandmother, why are you here?" ”

"How are you?" Seeing that it was Ding Shujiao, Meng Xichang was stunned.

Ding Shujiao was dressed in plain clothes, no different from the servants at home, and she looked a lot haggard, Meng Xichang didn't believe her eyes.

"Yes, it's me!"

"I thought you.."

Ding Shujiao glanced at Meng Xichang and He Qingping with the rest of her eyes: "Yes!" Master, second wife! You thought I was dead! Don't you Meng family all want me to die! I can't give birth to a son and a half daughter to your Meng family, and I still eat your family and drink your family! I'm a useless burden to your family! Even I almost look down on myself! I also thought, why am I so useless! I also thought about dying, but God wouldn't accept me! I'm alive again! ”

He Qingping pulled Meng Xichang aside and whispered: "Master, look at the age of this little baby, I have calculated, it is almost really expensive." At that time, after the death of the second young master, the second young grandmother didn't tell us that she was pregnant, we didn't believe it, thinking that she couldn't conceive for so long, but it happened that she was pregnant after the death of the second young master, she must have been talking nonsense, or stealing a wild man to get pregnant, she ran away angrily, it seems that we have wronged her! ”

In fact, He Qingping understood in her heart that it was also selfish to let the old man believe that the second young grandmother was pregnant with a child who was not the Meng family, and she didn't want others to compete with the child in her belly for the Meng family's property.

"Master, from this point of view, this child is the widow of the second young master, and the family is really expensive!" He Qingping added.

Meng Xichang's eyes widened in surprise, he let out a long breath, and his face showed joy: "I said why is it so similar!" Where in the world is there such a coincidence! I just told me to catch up! ”

He Qingping smiled at Ding Shujiao, who was looking at her coldly, stepped forward, and whispered: "Second young grandmother, you should have let the master know such a big news!" ”

Without waiting for Ding Shujiao to answer, Meng Xichang patted his head.

"I remember! The second young grandmother said it, but I believed the words of the eldest lady, thinking... It seems that I misunderstood! Actually, you can make it clear! As soon as you left, you were gone! Who knows, you really gave birth to a noble child and left a root for our Meng family! ”

Ding Shujiao smiled faintly and snorted coldly, "Why should I go to you?" Who told you that this child belongs to your Meng family? This kid's surname is Zhao! ”

Her eyes fell on Zhao Sanjian, Zhao Sanjian shrunk his neck and hid in the crowd, without speaking, after the humiliation of the person just now, he was eager to find a crack in the ground at this time.

"Haha! Isn't this a big show for us all to watch! It's even better than the big play! It doesn't cost you any money! A mother, two fathers popped up!

The crowd burst into laughter again, and a few of them whistled.

"Dare to ask the little lady, does this child still need a father! Yes? Ha ha! ”

"What the hell!"

A burst of laughter and cursing ensued. The child had already been woken up, and when he saw so many people, he was so frightened that he cried "wow".

"I see! Stop making a fuss, everyone! It doesn't matter who this child is, but at least it's the child's mother, right? ”

The crowd fell silent.

Ding Shujiao took the child from the old woman and rushed out of the crowd. Meng Xichang reacted, so he followed closely and chased after him.

"Second young grandmother, you wait! I have something to say! Meng Xichang gasped and said.

Ding Shujiao stopped.

"I... I know you've been wronged in the Meng family! ”

Ding Shujiao didn't speak, recalling the unbearable life in the Meng family, her nose was a little sour.

"If you weren't expensive to your family and were extremely disappointed in the Meng family, you wouldn't have gone so far." Meng Xichang looked at the child with pity, and his words were sincere, "Let your mother and son suffer!" It's all my fault, sir! ”

He Qingping also followed.

"Second young grandmother, for the sake of our friendship, you can tell me the truth! This kid is expensive! Is that right? ”

"Is this kid no longer related to your family?"

After Ding Shujiao finished speaking, she turned her head and left.

Meng Xichang strode after him: "Second young grandmother! Listen to me! ”

Ding Shujiao ignored it and continued to walk forward with the child in her arms.

"The second young master is dead! Do you have to fight a dead man? The eldest lady is also dead! I kicked him out! Jumped into the river and drowned! ”

"True retribution! I didn't expect the eldest lady to have such a day! ”

The atmosphere seemed to have eased, He Qingping chased after her, and said, "That time, I couldn't be angry when I saw her slap you!" The big lady really deceives people too much! She also instructed the girl to drug me in a bowl, and my two poor unborn children were gone! ”

"If I were you, I'd strangle her!" Ding Shujiao said.

"The lord is also pitiful! Fortunately, there is still this baby! Two young grandma! Have mercy on us! He Qingping's voice was hoarse, her head was lowered, and she walked silently with her.

Ding Shujiao stopped and sighed, "What do you want?" ”

Meng Xichang saw that someone was surrounding him again, thinking that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and when he spoke here, there were many people, so he said: "Second young grandmother, you can come back at any time!" ”

Ding Shujiao's silence made He Qingping firm up her judgment, "I knew that the Meng family would not be extinct!" ”

"Yes and what? Isn't it? Ding Shujiao said.

He Qingping couldn't help but look at Meng Xichang for a while, and the two of them knew that the answer was already very clear.

"Come back! Shujiao! Come back, we've got you and your kids to eat and drink! He Qingping said.

"Humph!"

Ding Shujiao shook her head disdainfully.

Meng Xichang's eyes never left the child: "Then, give me the child!" I'll take care of you and find him the best wet nurse! ”

Ding Shujiao is a little speechless, what should I do? She hesitated. This kid makes her love and hate at the same time! If you don't give it, there will always be the shadow of the enemy on him, and if you give it, your own flesh and blood will still be reluctant! Seeing that there were more and more people around, her face was red and white.

"Shujiao, I don't embarrass you, you go back first! As I said, you can go back to Mon at any time! ”

Meng Xichang knew that if he continued to talk like this, there would be no result.

He finally reluctantly glanced at the child, glanced at He Qingping, and the two of them left.

Zhao Sanjian, who was hiding in the crowd, watched everything that happened here from afar, his face was more ugly than pig iron.
