Chapter 228: Cleaning up

Chunying put all the jewelry and belongings she had accumulated over the years into a small half-worn box, locked it again, and then put another burden on the good materials and clothes that were not in season, and then began to pack the luggage she wanted to bring to the village.

This time, I don't know how long I want to live, the weather is getting colder, it's winter in a blink of an eye, the padded jacket in autumn and winter must bring a few more, listen to Meixiang's tone, "a year and a half is not much", maybe you have to wait until the beginning of spring, by the way, bring a few spring clothes.

Chunying packed up the two big burdens, and suddenly remembered that this time she left, it was a derogatory, and her father lost the shopkeeper's errand again, maybe someone would fall into the well, and I don't know which Zhuangzi was going back this time, in case the character of the head of the village there was not good, and the clothes worn by his family were too good, and he would also be red-eyed, so he hurriedly picked out the clothes with better materials again, and all of them were changed with cloth, and even the old jacket that he wore when he lived in the compound in the old year was wrapped in two. After thinking about it, he added a few inconspicuous old purses, which contained a dozen or so taels of silver, hidden in the sleeve pockets of the padded jacket, and no trace was visible outside.

After tidying up, she looked at the room again, only to feel that this thing also liked it, and that thing was reluctant, as soon as she thought that this house would not belong to her own home in the future, even the grass and paper, a table and a chair here would belong to someone else, so she felt uncomfortable, took a deep breath, simply turned her head and walked out of the room, no longer thinking about it.

Mother Lu was packing up her youngest son's clothes, shedding tears as she cleaned up, and when she looked up and saw her daughter looking at herself at the door of the room, she glared at her: "What are you doing stupidly?!" Don't pack too much! The big furniture can't be moved, so bring the pots and chopsticks! It's all decades old‧‧‧‧‧‧

Chun Ying said lightly: "We were punished to be pressed to the village, not to move, just pick out the important things, our family doesn't have a car, and I don't know if we want to walk tomorrow."

Mother Lu was stunned, and couldn't help but feel sad: "What is this really called! If it's like before, you Lao Tzu is on an errand at the gate, and the family doesn't have much money, I will admit it! But your son has become a steward, and the family is also rich, and when we go outside, others will also respect us. I didn't expect that I had suffered for half my life, and I finally lived a comfortable life for a few years, but now I am not as good as the original poor life! What kind of sin have you done?!"

Chunying has long lost the desire to argue: "Whatever you think, maybe you still have to blame me, I persuaded my father to fight for the first time, but now it has become an empty battle, but the demolition of the porter is lost."

"Fart!" Mother Lu took a sip of her, "Your father can get ahead, that's what he can do, what does it have to do with you?!"

Chunying turned around and walked out: "Why don't you see your father? It's almost time for Xiaohu to get out of school, right?"

"It went to the king's house to discuss matters. I called the Shui Chu of the old Ke family to your second uncle and eldest sister, they have been old for a long time, can you go and see if they are here? If you come, you'll pick up Xiaohu." Speaking of this, Lu's mother had red circles in her eyes again, "Poor Xiaohu, after only a year of studying, he called his sister tired and wanted to go to the countryside to suffer‧‧‧‧‧‧

Chunying just didn't hear it, opened the courtyard and didn't look out, and didn't see Shui Chu's figure, but saw a circle of people gathered in front of the Wang family from a distance, pointing and chattering in front of the courtyard, some sighed, some were curious, some were gloating, and some turned around and pointed to the courtyard of the Lu family. Chunying hurriedly retracted her head and closed the door, and after a while, she looked out again, and saw that no one was looking at her for the time being, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Jiashu is very popular, so a family is belittled, which attracts the attention of all parties, but for the parties, this kind of attention is uncomfortable, right? My father is also on the Wang family's side, so I don't know what my mood is.

No matter what her mother thought, she still felt that she was not wrong. If Mrs. blames her for helping Miss Huo Yi avoid the crisis of fame, or for not helping Yulan spread the word a few years ago, then she is still a little convinced, but Mrs. blames her for not reporting the fact that the Huo family is rich, which is equivalent to betraying the master, and she will not accept it no matter what! Calculating the property of the sister-in-law's family behind the back of her mother-in-law and husband is originally a despicable act, not to mention that she has not received similar orders or hints, why should she work for others?! was sowed discord by a few words from the people around him, and replaced the loyal and capable steward, this kind of housewife is not worthy of respect from others at all!

However, as the mother said, the father struggled for most of his life to achieve today's achievements, and he was suddenly fired, somewhat affected by her daughter. She didn't care about his position as a steward, she just hoped that her father wouldn't suffer, if she could, she would go to the village alone, there was really no need to drag her parents and brothers into the water. If the family can stay in the capital, even if they leave the house like Nandeng, with the money stored in Hu Fei's place, the real estate that his brother-in-law helps take care of, and the help of his sister's family, their family can still live comfortably!

Is there anything that can be done to change my wife's decision? The old lady was sick and could not be a councillor; His father is not the person in front of Hou Ye, so Hou Ye will not meddle in such a trivial matter; I'm afraid I can only ask the third young master.

But she can't enter the mansion to find the third young master now!

That's right, Zhou Nian! It's getting dark now, he should be home, right? Go find him and try it!

Chunying took the door with her backhand, looked left and right, and quietly avoided people, and quickly went to the end of the street, into the alley, she quickly ran to the door of Zhou Nian's house, and was about to knock on the door, but they opened it first, and Dian Dye walked out with a baggage.

The two took a photo and were very surprised. Dian Ran was still angry with Chunying, so he frowned and asked, "What are you doing?!"

Chun Ying didn't want to say anything else, so she looked into the courtyard and asked, "Where is Young Master Zhou?"

"No!"

"Not there?! Where has he gone?!"

Dot Ran raised an eyebrow, "I know, but I won't tell you!" With that, he triumphantly returned to the door and hung up a large lock.

Chun Ying gritted her teeth, but squeezed out a little smile on her face and said, "I have an urgent matter to ask Young Master Zhou for help‧‧‧‧‧‧ or you can help me with a little message, I want to find the third young master‧‧‧‧‧‧

"The Third Young Master doesn't have time to pay attention to you!" Dotze glanced at her impatiently, "I don't know what to lift! What do you think you do?! How? Do you know the benefits of the third young master? What did you do before?! I don't care about you! Don't stand in your way!"

Chun Ying held back her anger and hurriedly stopped in front of him: "I really have something urgent to find the third young master‧‧‧‧‧‧

"The Third Young Master is busy! I don't have time to pay attention to you!" Dian Ran laughed disdainfully, "Don't fight Zhou Ye's idea, the person who makes the third young master angry, he won't help you!" Who are you?" After that, he waved away Chunying's head and walked away.

Chunying was so angry that she stomped her feet, at first she only thought that dyeing was nonsense, but slowly, she couldn't help but wonder if the third young master was really angry with herself? Maybe, Zhou Nian may not be able to help himself, right? It's not because I'm unwilling, but because I'm afraid of the third young master and his wife's thoughts. After all, his family does not have a life, and Zhou Nian is protected by the Hou Mansion, and it is impossible to rely on the Hou Mansion to rehabilitate his identity and revive the family business.

Chunying stood there for a moment, glanced at the big lock on the door again, and walked back disappointed.

When I got back to my house, I met an eleven or twelve-year-old boy talking to his mother while sniffing, and she hurried two steps to hear him report to his mother: "‧‧‧‧‧‧ the countryside, I won't be back until tomorrow!" The road manager went to the west of the city, and his wife said that when the road manager came back, she would let him come over immediately.

Mother Lu hurriedly said, "Why is it so unfortunate?! Did you ask clearly? Son-in-law Lu really took my daughter and grandson out of the city?! What about the rest of his family?!"

"It's true!" The boy sniffed again, "I asked his janitor! The others ‧‧‧‧‧‧ the aunt only said that they wanted to find a daughter and son-in-law, so I didn't call anyone else‧‧‧‧‧‧

Lu's mother was full of remorse, even if her daughter and son-in-law were not at home, it would be good to have a family member:"

Chun Ying hurriedly said, "Shui Chu, can I tell the Lu family, we have an urgent matter at home?"

Shui Chu tilted his head and became a little heavier: "Said! Really!"

Mother Lu sighed and went back to the house, and Chunying hurriedly took a hundred yuan to Shui Chu. It's hard work, can you help my sister run her legs again, go to Baofu Lane north of Fahua Temple, and find a Second Master Hu? You have come to him, and I will give you so much more money, and I will give you delicious fruit."

Shui Chu grinned: "The fruit is gone, if my sister's family has rice noodles that can't be eaten, how many catties will you weigh for me?"

Chunying answered, sent him away, and then closed the door and went back to the house. Mother Lu asked suspiciously, "What do you ask Brother Hu to do?" Though he is a friend of us, he is an outsider."

Although Hu Fei is an outsider, he is extremely reliable, since his sister and brother-in-law can't come tonight, and the second uncle can't get rid of the identity of the son of the family, just in case, he still handed over part of his finances to Hu Fei for safekeeping.

Someone was knocking on the door outside, Chun Ying thought that her father was back, and hurriedly opened it, but found that it was Hu Fei, followed by Shui Chu, and was surprised: "Why did you come so quickly?!"

Hu Fei smiled: "I heard him ask Renbaofu Lane how to go, saying that he was looking for a second master Hu, only to know that you were in a hurry to find me." He turned back to look at Shui Chu: "Look, I said that I was the second master Hu you were looking for, do you believe it?"

Shui Chu looked at Chun Ying in a daze, Chun Ying hurriedly counted a hundred dollars, and gave him a bucket of white noodles, and he left happily. Hu Fei was still laughing: "Why did you ask this kid to give me a message? I saw that she had some tendons, and she clearly said that I was Second Master Hu, and he still blindly wanted to go to Baofu Lane to find it."

Chun Ying smiled: "He was an honest man, but he had an excellent memory, as long as he was asked to pass on the word and do things, he would pass it word for word. If he does not tell anyone, he will never tell anyone, so though he is stupid and cannot be elected to the house, many people love to ask him for help." After a pause, he flattened his mouth: "Brother Xiaofei, I'm so miserable, you have to help me‧‧‧‧‧‧

Hu Fei saw that Chunying's eyes were red, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it over: "Don't cry, don't cry! I've heard about it, have I been beaten? Badly hurt? Shall I find you some medicine?"

Chunying shook her head, told her about the beating and punishment today, and the whole family being demoted to the village, and choked up: "I don't know when I will be able to come back, let alone when I will be able to leave the house, my father is even more wronged!" My mother only blames me. I was so depressed that I panicked, if that Cui Manru appeared in front of me at this time, I would like to stab him!"

Hu Fei's face darkened: "How can this be?! Obviously‧‧‧‧‧‧ it's going to be light!" Gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, he sneered: "Don't worry, if you don't fight with others so easily, those people can't bear to hurt you, and they will definitely not be able to please you in the future!" Seeing Chun Ying shed tears, he softened his tone: "Don't cry, I know that you have been wronged, I only hate that the Hou Mansion never sells children easily, otherwise I will redeem my body for your family, and that's it." Now I'm afraid that I really want to live in Zhuangzi for a while, do you know that Zhuangzi? Can you go there and do some work first?"

Chunying shook her head: "I don't know yet, my father is discussing with the Wang family, Shi'er's family is going to ‧‧‧‧‧‧ this time" She could feel the concern in Hu Fei's words, and she felt better, she couldn't help but glance at the house, and began to complain in her heart: Even Hu Fei thinks that he has been wronged, why did his mother insist that it was his fault?

Pouting, she sighed: Forget it, it's not her real parents, what is she struggling with?!

Chunying pulled Hu Fei into the house and said hello to her mother. Although Lu's mother was sad, she hadn't forgotten the etiquette, and asked Hu Fei to sit down for tea. Chun Ying said: "Mother, hurry up and pack your luggage, Brother Xiaofei is familiar with us, you don't have to be formal, just have me here." Mother Lu thought about it, then followed, and when she saw the sun in the west, she muttered, "Why hasn't Xiaohu come back yet?!" Stinky boy is playful again! I didn't know that my family was in great trouble!" So I went to the kitchen to work on dinner.

Chunying invited Hu Fei to sit down, and said, "Brother Xiaofei, our family is going out of the city tomorrow, and we are busy packing up our things now. I'm a little worried, I don't know where the escort is, if we want to make money halfway, or when we get to the village, we are greedy by the head of the village, our family will suffer a big loss. Besides, this house is going to be handed back to the house, and there are some things that we can't take anymore."

"How about I call a few boys to move out?" Hu Fei didn't need Chunying to say more, he understood what she meant, "The general family should keep it, only move some valuables and a few beloved things, and it's better to leave anything else, otherwise those who inspect it will be suspicious when they see that this place is empty." If there is any inconvenience in carrying gold and silver with you, give it to me, but it is better for you to bring some emergencies with you. Don't be busy with the coat first, hand it over to me together, and save it on the road, and I'll send it to your village myself when I get back."

Chunying breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great! Thank you so much!"

"Silly girl, what are you saying thank you to me?" Hu Fei looked around, "Xiaohu is not here? If you want me to say, it doesn't matter if you are three adults, Xiaohu is young, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the hardships of the village, so why don't you hand them over to me to take care of? He and I have always been compatible."

Chunying said with a smile: "I have already informed my sister-in-law and second uncle and aunt, my sister's family is out of the city, and Ming'er can come back, and Xiaohu will be handed over to the second uncle."

"Second Uncle Lu?" Hu Fei thought for a while, "I had a drink with my second uncle a few days ago, and he just said that the second aunt has a body, and she is not very happy these days. I'm afraid that his family won't have time to take care of Xiaohu."

"Huh?!" Chunying stood up suddenly, and even Lu's mother rushed through the door: "Have a body?! When did it happen? Why didn't the second uncle say a word?!"

Hu Fei said with a smile: "The second uncle said that it was just what the mother-in-law said, and he hadn't seen the doctor yet, so he didn't dare to tell others. But I saw that his face was mostly accurate."

Mother Lu slapped her thigh excitedly: "It's finally there!" Second uncle's age, it's really not easy‧‧‧‧‧‧" paused, and sobbed a little: "Then Xiaohu better not go to his house, he doesn't have a helper for the two of them, just taking care of pregnant women, he can't take care of it."

Hu Fei hurriedly said, "Just leave it to me!" After a slight pause, "Just come and stay with me for a few days, and when Brother Lu and his wife come back, I'll hand it over to them?" But Sister-in-law Lu can't be busy‧‧‧‧‧‧

The courtyard door creaked open, Lu Yougui walked in, and when he saw Hu Fei, he was stunned at first, and then his expression was a little complicated: "Little Brother Hu is here?"

Hu Fei hurriedly greeted him, "How is Uncle Lu?" I've heard that there's anything I can do to help, Uncle Lu, don't be polite!"

"You're welcome?" Lu Yougui smiled self-deprecatingly, "What else do I have to be polite? I've already accepted your affection." He accepted the ridicule, and Zhengse made a gesture to Hu Fei: "Thanks to Brother Hu today, otherwise‧‧‧‧‧‧ my Chun'er might have lost her life."

"Daddy?" Chun Ying looked at him puzzled, and then at Hu Fei, "What's going on?"
