Listening to her words, He Sui was silent for a moment, at this time Mrs. He had already washed the dishes and chopsticks and came out, and seeing that her son's face was a little heavy, she probably knew what was going on.

"That's the case, a while ago, a matchmaker came to the door to propose marriage, asking me to remarry Chen Yuanwai in the county seat as a concubine." Mrs. He seemed very calm when she said these things to outsiders, and she didn't seem to take these ugly things in the eyes of others to heart, "I rejected her at the time, and the matchmaker said cruel words when she left, saying that I toasted and didn't eat and drink, and they had a way to carry me into the door." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. He paused, sighed and looked at He Sui, "I didn't put these words at ease, thinking that as long as I didn't nod, they couldn't do anything about me, but the matchmaker came to the door again the day before yesterday and brought a fortune teller, saying that I was not good for the family's house, it was Kefuke's life, and asked my mother-in-law to send me out." ”

"Now my mother-in-law has not yet responded, but my mother-in-law did not like me when my husband was killed, and now the fortune teller is saying such things, I am afraid that she will finally listen to those people." Mrs. He worried, what she didn't say was that even she believed that words a little, and maybe, her true fate was unknown. When her husband died, her mother-in-law scolded her for losing her family, and this matter has always been in her heart, and she didn't dare to ask a fortune teller for approval for so many years, for fear of answering her mother-in-law's three words.

Yu Xia finally understood why He Sui came to her, it was ridiculous to deny everything about a woman with her ethereal life alone, and maybe even ruin her life.

Yu Xia found the suspicion in his words, "Auntie, has the fortune teller read your birthday?" ”

Mrs. He shook her head, "The fortune teller just met with me. ”

Yu Xia smiled, "That fortune teller is open-mouthed, it is impossible for this thing to directly see the future destiny, I am afraid that I was instructed by Chen Yuanwai to deliberately detain this bad reputation to you, so as to facilitate their actions." Besides, when I look at my aunt's face, I don't look like a blessed person. ”

He Sui lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, and his mood was not very good. He also thought of what Yu Xia said, but it wasn't a taste in his heart. Even if they suffer from the cold eyes of the villagers, they only feel that their vision is limited and ignorant, and they have never really held grudges, and they just want to live their lives in peace. Who would have thought that if you didn't get into trouble, the trouble would take the initiative to provoke you. Their appearance is the original sin, for this original sin, the mother and son were just coldly looked at, and now there are still people who covet their mother's beauty and want to rob them to be concubines, he thinks that he has never done anything evil, but he has to suffer from the evil thoughts of others, where is the justice of this world?

He Sui's hanging hand was shaken, the back of his hand was bruised, and his nails sank deep into the flesh of his palm, leaving crimson marks.

Yu Xia noticed He Sui's subtle movements, and gently knocked on the table, attracting the attention of the mother and son, "Auntie, can you tell me the eight characters of your birthday, I will give you a life, and then tell Mrs. He how to do it?" ”

For now, it can only be like this, Mrs. He nodded, and handed over the birthday to Yu Xia.

Yu Xia took out a pen and paper from his book bag, calculated carefully, put down the pen and was about to speak, when there was a knock on the courtyard door.

He Sui walked over and looked out through the crack in the door, was stunned for a moment, and opened the door.

It was an old lady with gray hair who came in.

"Grandmother." He Sui said.

Mrs. He immediately stood up, "Old lady." Mrs. He refused to admit this daughter-in-law, and never let Mrs. He call her mother, but Mrs. He couldn't, so she had to call Mrs. He. At the beginning, the He family was also ranked number one in Longhe Village, but although it gradually declined, in the end, the ancestors had some thin property, and they were not people who relied on the land to eat. Although there are no maids and servants now, it is not too much to call an old lady.

Yu Xia, an outsider, was a little embarrassed, thought about it, but still stood up and shouted "Grandma He" obediently.

Mrs. He nodded to them, and walked over tremblingly on crutches, Mrs. He hurriedly went into the house and moved a chair, and glanced at He Sui, who helped Mrs. He sit down with a tense face.

Mrs. He has lost her son since she was middle-aged, and her body collapsed suddenly, and she took a few steps to catch her breath for a while, in fact, she has almost never gone out over the years, and everything depends on He Sui's mother and son to come to their house in person, this is the first time.

Old Madam He took a sip of the water poured by Mrs. He, and took out a cloth bag from her arms, "Take your things, hurry up and leave, get out of here." ”

"Grandmother," He Sui seemed to think of something, and was about to speak, when Old Madam He raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Although the matchmaker brought the fortune teller to me the day before yesterday and I didn't respond, they won't give up. Chen Yuanwai is rich and unkind, and he has done a lot of bullying men and women, although he has reined in over the years, it will be unfavorable to you sooner or later. We are just ordinary rural people, we can't fight them, you better go, find a new place to live well, don't worry about my old wife. "He didn't even mention the matter of Mrs. He's life.

"The matchmaker came to the door once a few days ago and taught me to drive me away, I should have let you go, but fortunately it is still too late."

It turned out that the woman who came out of the old mansion when He Sui came home that day was the matchmaker.

"Old lady." Mrs. He didn't expect that her mother-in-law had already rejected the other party, and she was choked up for a while, with tears in her eyes.

He Sui was also stunned, in his eyes, his grandmother was a ruthless person, extremely disgusted with his mother, and very cold to himself. When he sent food to the next door every day, his grandmother always spoke coldly, and he was very sarcastic about his mother's words, so he thought that when the fortune teller said that his mother was not good for the family, his grandmother would not hesitate to sweep his mother out of the house, although his grandmother should not have surprised him at that time, but he subconsciously thought that his grandmother had not negotiated terms with the matchmaker, and would agree to them sooner or later.

But now, his grandmother had said it to them.

Although her expression was still cold, her words were full of concern for their mother and son.

He took the cloth bag that his grandmother had just put on the table, and opened it to see that there was a pile of silver taels, and a few silver tickets, and there were always nearly two hundred taels of silver. He has a little understanding of his ancestors, and this money is afraid that this is the last bit of money left by his ancestors. Now the grandmother has given it all to them, so that the mother and son can go to live elsewhere with the money.

"It is inconvenient for your orphans and widows to go on the road, then Wu Changxing is an honest man, let him escort you together, and raise your children well, which can be regarded as worthy of my old He family."

Mrs. He was stunned and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

Wu Changxing was a fellow villager of He Sui's father in the army, and he was one of the people who escorted He Sui's mother after the war, and now he has opened a martial arts gym in the county seat. Wu Changxing has not been married for many years, and He Sui's mother and son also know the reason, but Mrs. He has not nodded in agreement in order to take care of her mother-in-law and children.

"Mother." Mrs. He gratefully took Mrs. He's hand, tears were about to fall in her eyes, Mrs. He looked a little uncomfortable, but she didn't pull her hand out.

"If we don't leave, Ah Sui and I haven't honored you properly, how can we leave you here alone?"

He Sui also advised, "Grandmother, we are leaving, Chen Yuanwai is annoyed and ashamed, and he will definitely trouble you, so how can we rest assured." ”

Old Madam He shook her head, "I am a half-buried person, widowed and widowed, after so many years of staying at home, I have long become an old monster, and there is nothing to live, you are still young, and you still have a lot of good times, you shouldn't be buried like this for me." ”

Mrs. He looked at He Sui, her eyes revealed undetectable love, the old lady has been duplicitous for half her life, and her emotions are always unwilling to be exposed, even at this moment, she only shows a little superficially, but the people around her have captured her soft side. She looked at her daughter-in-law, who had been coldly spoken to by her for many years, "You have raised my grandson very well, has a good character, and is a talent, my son did not look at the wrong person at the beginning." ”
