Chapter XI

When Lu Shutan returned to the yard, he ran into Chunzhi's mother-in-law.

Granny Harueda walked away in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking in her head.

Lu Shutan walked in front of her and stood still, and her mother-in-law hadn't noticed it yet, so she lowered her head and walked forward, almost knocking Shutan backwards.

Shutan rubbed her shoulders and asked her mother-in-law with a smile: "Mother-in-law Chunzhi was scolded by Mrs. The face is so ugly. ”

When she saw that it was a girl, her mother-in-law's nose was sour, and her eyes instantly turned red.

She held back her tears and said to Shutan with a kind face: "No, madam......" The mother-in-law was hesitant, and she changed the topic again, "The girl is hungry, right?" I didn't have time to prepare food for the girl in the morning. ”

Shutan bent his eyes and grinned to take his mother-in-law's arm, and the two talked as they walked: "You are so majestic this morning, why did Mother-in-law Green Branch provoke our mother-in-law?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The green branch is quick to talk, and when he sees me, he can't help but ridicule me...... I couldn't hold back for a while, and I made everyone laugh at it......"

Granny Harueda touched her nose and looked embarrassed.

She has always been honest and honest, but this morning she was stunned by the anger of those little scoundrels, so she couldn't help arguing with Green Branch.

"No, mother-in-law." Shu Tan gently stroked Chunzhi's hand, and there seemed to be something in her eyes.

"I know that my mother-in-law didn't take care of those people for me, and she endured everything...... Sometimes Tan'er is very sad, watching you being bullied but unable to speak, and she will not defend her grievances...... Actually, I know it all...... But I'm cowardly...... I'm also afraid of them, I'm afraid that they don't want me anymore, and I've always pretended to be naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world, but in fact I'm cowardly and selfish...... My mother-in-law is so old, and she still works for me day and night in this remote courtyard. ”

It seems that the words in the stomach are out, and Shu Tan is indescribably happy.

Since she was sensible, so many guilt and sadness slowly deposited in her heart, pressed layer after layer, like a rock, day and night so that she couldn't breathe, tossing and turning.

It was a bit of a pleasure to spit out the stone, but the dullness on the other side pressed again.

"Mother-in-law, Tan'er has grown up now, if you have any grievances in the future, don't hold it back, and return it happily like today!" Shutan was grinning in her eyes, as if she was about to laugh out of tears, because of the tears flashing in her eyes.

She said mischievously: "If we can't beat it, let's run!" It just so happens that I don't want to spend time in this yard! ”

Mother-in-law Chunzhi looked at the girl's expression, her heart was very distressed, and the words she was about to say in her stomach were blocked in her throat at once, and she couldn't say it.

"Mother-in-law, in fact, I know that Brother Chunwang is reluctant to let you work in the Lu Mansion at such an old age...... When you accompany me to spend this year, Tan'er will be fourteen, and I will beg my father, you ...... When the time comes, go home and enjoy yourself......"

Where is Shutan willing to let go of Mother-in-law Chunzhi?

Granny Harueda is her father and mother to her.

But how could she restrain her mother-in-law because she was reluctant...... Thinking of the kick that Lu Zhi kicked her hard, it made Shu Tan feel angry in his heart.

My mother-in-law is so old, and her body is not cool, and she has to slow down for half a day to lift water on weekdays...... Why are green branches and green branches so ruthless?

"Look what a joke the girl is telling! The old woman will not leave the girl's ......" Granny Harueda's voice seemed to be choked, but it was very tough.

The two of them walked as they talked, and before they knew it, they had walked back to the side courtyard.

There is the sun today, Song Shuyu curled his legs, sitting at the door of the firewood room, his head against the door frame, and his eyes closed faintly.

He didn't talk much.

That is, basically do not speak, like a mute.

The red spots on Song Shuyu's face had faded a lot, but Mr. Xu Shiyun's medicine worked, and layers of dark red dead skin stuck to his face like ugly scars.

The appearance of the madman is not much stronger than when he first picked it up.

Seeing him, Granny Chunzhi remembered that because of the delay of the little beggars, she hadn't given him the medicine today.

Just now Shu Tan told her that Shu Huai did say that Shu Yu saved him.

Granny Harueda was very grateful to him now, and seeing that he looked tired, she hurriedly went to cook food for him and the girl.

Chunzhi was busy, so he asked Shutan to go to Mr. Yun to get medicine.

Shutan asked several passers-by before finding Mr. Yun's residence.

It's not a very big house, it looks like it's just been renovated. A boy of six or seven years old was drying medicinal herbs in the yard.

The boy was wearing two small stubs, dressed in navy blue cloth, and carefully and carefully pulled the dried medicine in the dustpan.

Seeing that someone was coming, he didn't speak, stopped his little hand that was working, and stared at the book with a pair of eyes.

"Uh...... Excuse me, is Mr. Yun here? Shutan scratched his head.

The boy nodded, and knocked on the door of the house with his little feet.

The door opened, and came an old man with a white beard, who blinked in confusion and yawned to ask him what was the matter.

The boy gestured to the book standing in the courtyard.

Shu Tan leaned over and greeted Mr. Yun: "...... I'll ask you to get your medicine. ”

Listening to her mother-in-law, she went to inquire elsewhere and found out that this white-bearded old man is still the number one!

A few years ago, Mr. Yun was on duty in the palace, but he didn't know what he had done and was kicked out of the palace.

After a few years, Yun Xiansheng traveled around again, and not long ago he traveled to Wenli.

Seeing that it was Shutan coming, Mr. Yun seemed a little surprised, but then he recovered his expression and welcomed her into the house.

"I can't give this medicine for nothing...... Tell me about yourself. Mr. Yun twisted his beard and stared at Shu Tan with inexplicable eyes.

"I'm ...... The Lu family's ...... Girl. She couldn't say anything.

"Lu Shiting's daughter - Chang Yu?" Mr. Yun frowned, Lu Changyu he had seen.

"It's not...... Be...... The other ......" she whispered, hoping he wouldn't ask again.

Mr. Yun really didn't ask again, he didn't know what he was thinking, he was silent for a long time, and then asked the boy to get the medicine.

Mr. Yun put the medicine in Shu Tan's hand, and gently touched Shu Tan's head with his hand, looking very gentle: "What's your name?"

Lu Shutan ...... Mr. Yun...... Medicine money...... Can you ...... in the future," Shu Tan said with his head down.

"Hahaha...... Girl! The old man is not short of this little thing, so it should be a meeting gift from the old man! ”

Mr. Yun waved his big hand.

-

Granny Harueda has cooked the meal, and Shutan has not come back yet.

Chunzhi went to the front yard to find the Liu family again, and she kowtowed to the Liu family.

Strings of tears fell to the ground on the face full of ravines and vicissitudes.

The ground was cold, the cold air penetrated into her flesh, and she knelt so hard that her knees hurt.

She can't leave Shutan, how can she live if she leaves? How to live called Shutan.

The two of them are like entangled plants, relying on each other for more than ten years in the side courtyard. The blood in his bones has long been indistinguishable, not a close relative, but thicker than blood.

Of course, the Liu family didn't promise Granny Haruzhi, and she even felt annoyed!

What a stinky! Do you really think of yourself as the Lu family?

It's just that after staying in the Lu family for a few more years, he relied on the old and sold the old. What she said from a lady didn't work like that?

Bargain here.....

"Mother-in-law still wants to stay in our family for the rest of her life?" Liu said angrily.

Grandma Harueda was stunned for a moment when she heard this, her mouth closed and trembled slightly.

What Madame said really made her feel cold and aggrieved.

She has been living in a side courtyard with the girl, and the Lu family does not give them silver taels, and they are working hard to make ends meet on weekdays......

"Mother-in-law Chunzhi went to collect the money at the end of this month, pack up and leave!" Liu really felt annoyed by Chunzhi, and his eyes were white.

What's so good about following that little hoof? She's up here!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ After the old slave left, he didn't know where the scholar girl was......"

Ryu glanced at Haruka obliquely, smiling coldly, her hand raised, her pink and shiny nails glowing softly in the sunlight.

It's a good day.

"You go down and ask which mother-in-law is willing to go with the second girl, and let him serve."

Haruka knelt on the ground with her head down, her eyes red.

She knew that no one wanted to.

Who would want to be with an unfavored, hopeless girl?

"If no one really wants to follow the second lady, Granny Harue can go to the street to buy a servant."

Liu tilted his head and smiled at the mother-in-law Chunzhi on the ground: "I heard from them, my mother-in-law washes and sews all day long, and she may have saved a lot of silver taels." ”
