Chapter 190: Here comes the opportunity
Cheng Rui's recent days have been a bit difficult. Both materially and psychologically.
His younger brother Cheng Hao was kicked out of the Cheng Mansion, and this incident almost made him unable to believe and accept it to this day.
Especially after being warned by the old man, he was worried all day long. The old man's eyes were so terrifying that he could see through him almost at a glance.
Because he was afraid of ending up with the same fate as Cheng Hao, and was afraid that the old man would come to check on Cheng Hao after checking him, he had to temporarily withdraw from several transactions that were not so good on the table.
At the same time, there were several shops where he had secretly invested money, and he had to withdraw quickly.
But he suddenly picked on his son, and his partners who wanted to make a fortune by relying on the Cheng family naturally did not agree!
In order to prevent these "secrets" from being made big, he had no choice but to take back only eight sums of money to settle the matter, but even so, his principal was temporarily pressed by his partners on the grounds of "no turnover", and should only be returned in installments......
Cheng Rui was furious, he was afraid that the silver would be swallowed, but he didn't dare to make a big fuss, this breath blocked his chest and couldn't go up or down, almost making him crazy.
He was depressed and really didn't want to go home, he was afraid to face the old man, he didn't want to see the He family with a stiff face, and he didn't want to see the disdain in his daughter's eyes.
Cheng Ming took his heart, and even the people who accompanied him to visit the Qinglou to buy drunk were gone.
Borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, he began to recall the benefits of Liao's family: gentle, considerate, virtuous, and sensible......
His legs couldn't help but start wanting to step into the nunnery. He seemed to think about it, and he promised Liao that he would go to see her and pick her up in a few days. As a result, it's been a month.
He had never broken his word to her so much, would she be annoyed with herself? Even if she was at fault first, she should have learned a lesson after being locked up for so long. She is not familiar with life in Jingxi, and her only reliance is herself! How can she get used to it?
Thinking of this, Cheng Rui's heart was a little hot.
Previously, he only promised not to accept the Liao family as a concubine and not let the Liao family become an outer room. You didn't say you wouldn't look for her, wouldn't let her leave the nunnery, did you?
So Cheng Rui ran three trips to the mountains in five days......
How could Cheng Ziyu not know about this?
Liao's stay in the nunnery was an expedient measure, they couldn't imprison her for the rest of their lives, right?
The reason why she agreed to accompany her grandmother up the mountain without thinking about it was actually because she knew that Liao's appointment would not last long, and she wanted to come up with a countermeasure.
Instead of asking her dad to take the lead, it's better for her to strike first! ……
In fact, Cheng Rui is difficult, and Liao Fengzhu is not!
Although she has always been an unsightly existence, in the end, she has had a house, a land and savings in the field for many years, and she has lived a serious life of grandmothers who come to reach out for food and open their mouths, surrounded by slaves.
Life at the moment is tantamount to purgatory for her. And those sanctimonious sisters-in-law are demons!
They would always call her a "donor" with a smile and then charge her for a rental fee.
Ridiculous, ridiculous! She lived in a dilapidated house for six people; The "bed" is a half-broken door panel; Twice a day is pickled tofu; And I have to work non-stop every day...... In this way, she still has to pay money?
And those vicious sisters-in-law never beat her and scolded her, or punished her clearly, and their reasons and rhetoric seemed to be impossible to find fault even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu came.
She does endless physical work every day, and if she doesn't do it well or does it slowly, then the work that awaits her doubles. But those sisters-in-law are called "diligent four-body"?
She had to copy the scriptures for an hour every night after her work. And the demons call it "dry heart"?
The faint flame of the candle made her eyes tingle, and her tired body made her sleepy. How many times she couldn't stay up, sat and fell asleep. But then someone would take a bucket of water and pour it over her head, or take a scissor head and stab her in the leg......
The demons will say with a serious face, "Copying scriptures should be pious, sleeping is disrespectful, and stabbing and drenching water are all so that she can cheer up her spirits, clear her heart and calm her mind, eliminate her anger, and achieve positive ......results as soon as possible."
And every once in a while, the host will come and talk to her in person.
The presiding officer stood beside the Buddha, while she knelt at the feet of the Bodhisattva, listening to the presiding over chanting, speaking, and exhorting...... The main purpose is to be kind, to be restrained, to be humble, to be respectful, to obey...... A set of painstaking sets, every sentence is helping her, in order to help her be reborn as soon as possible......
This kneeling is often an hour or two, and she is dizzy when she kneels, and she is always dragged back at the end...... Then he was forcibly sobered up......
Liao still had illusions at the beginning, believing that Cheng Rui and Jin Yu would definitely save her from the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
Isn't!
Her life has always been hopeless. She spends every day like a year, only when she falls asleep at night can she seem to breathe, and she can only return to the past in her dreams.
However, she never even had a complete dream, and every time she didn't have time to reminisce, she would be scolded by her sisters-in-law and wake up, and then start the nightmare day again......
The taste scared her.
But at the same time, she was unwilling! She was full of hatred, and she couldn't accept such a fate.
Especially when she noticed that her face had turned from pink to dark, lacking the moisture of balm and the concealment of fat powder, her face had more and more dark spots and fine lines; Her fingertips and palms are not smooth and elastic, but rough and calloused; Her shiny and smooth black silk became rough, and there seemed to be a few hints of white......
She was clearly radiant a month ago, but in the reflection of the well water, she was covered in a piercing coarse cloth, unkempt, and had no brilliance, and she was no different from those vulgar sisters-in-law!
It's horrible!
She kicked the bucket over and fell to the ground.
With such a she, can she still fantasize about ascending? When Cheng Rui sees her, can he still give birth to love?
She must run!
Must flee! She'll definitely be able to get out!
She is capable, capable, and confident!
She must not be confined to such a small world!
Even to this day, she doesn't understand why the originally good situation will be turned upside down all of a sudden? She lost inexplicably, and she lost so much that she didn't even know which opponent it was!
She can't wait any longer to be rescued!
So, in a short period of time, she escaped seven times.
But she didn't expect that these mothers-in-law would guard so badly, and she would be caught back every time. And every time she escapes, she has to pay an even more painful price!
She tried all four directions of the nunnery.
The farthest she had gone, she had almost seen the avenue down the hill, with its cars and a tea house. She was so excited that her shoes flew away. She also saw her personal mother-in-law who was buried in the vegetable garden on the mountainside dozens of feet away.
But before she could call, she was dragged back to the firewood house behind the hilltop nunnery again. Subsequently, she was put in confinement. There is nothing to eat or drink, only a Buddha statue and a sutra! ……
However, Liao Fengzhu found that today, the opportunity seems to have come!
