Hu Liren's cheeks suddenly bulged with anger.

"Do you know what you look like now?" When Hu Jiaren saw it, he couldn't help but stretch out his finger and poke it twice.

"Like what?" Hu Liren said suspiciously.

Hu Jiaren slowly withdrew his hand and smiled: "Like a pufferfish." ”

"Mother, my sister said that I am a poison again!"

Hu Zhangshi looked at his daughter, who was one big and one small, who looked nine points similar, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit. When the master comes back tomorrow, the family of four will be fine, and there is nothing better than this.

Hu Liren, who was snorting, pursed her lips, and then laughed as well.

The next day, the mother and daughter cleaned up and took a car to the yamen, waiting for Hu Changan to be released. It's just past noon, and I still haven't seen anyone. After a trip, people sent money to the cell boss to ask for news, but they only said that they didn't know.

The mother and daughter had to wait.

Hu Jiaren's heart was skipping straight, and she was afraid that something would happen again. Just as he was waiting for anxiety, a subordinate of the family came.

"Madam, Mrs. Garrison sent a matchmaker, saying that she was looking for you to talk about marriage."

"Ah, why did you come at this time?" Hu Zhangshi was stunned and looked back at his two daughters.

Hu Jiaren glanced at her sister who turned her head away, and said, "In this case, my mother will go back, my sister and I are here to wait for my father to come out." ”

"That's okay, I'll come back when my mother is ready."

"Don't worry, mother, take your time, I'm afraid it's going to be dark here."

But they didn't wait until it got dark.

Half an hour later, the housekeeper drove over in person, and Lao Yuan shouted anxiously: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, go home and take a look, Madame has an accident." ”

Hu Jiaren and her sister glanced at each other and ran towards the housekeeper hand in hand.

Sitting in the car, Hu Jiaren asked anxiously, "What happened?" ”

The housekeeper sighed and said: "It's the second lady's marriage that went wrong, and after the previous lady went home, she also talked and laughed with the matchmaker." ”

"As he spoke, the matchmaker said that he had brought a token to exchange for the previous token, because the previous handkerchief was embroidered by the eldest daughter of the garrison lady, and the garrison lady wanted to exchange it back."

"I didn't know that after the matchmaker's handkerchief arrived, he brewed the handkerchief into the tea, and the eight characters on it were suddenly ruined, so he was willing to tell the truth."

"It was the garrison's wife who said that the garrison lord had the daughter of a colleague who wanted to marry their son-in-law. This can only be wronged by the second lady to be a concubine, even if she is a concubine, the woman does not need the man's birthday. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Guan sighed again: "Madame refuses to be a concubine for the second lady, so she says that since this is the case, then this marriage will be abandoned." But the matchmaker said that if he wants to retreat from the guard, he is not afraid that his life is not hard enough. ”

"If the second lady refuses to be a concubine, then don't think about it, the garrison has a name, and if the master is locked up for three or five years, if he dies of illness, there is no way."

The carriage was quiet for a while, Hu Li cried angrily, pounded the wall of the carriage and said: "I know that their family is not a good person, now it's okay, I'm going to be a concubine!" ”

Hu Jiaren asked in a low voice, "What about the mother?" What's wrong with my mother? ”

The housekeeper hung his head and said, "Madame was angry and had a seizure, and when she woke up, she said that she had killed the second lady, and she was clamoring to commit suicide." ”

When I went home to Hu Zhai, the atmosphere that was just a little better was ruined. Everyone was uneasy, Hu Jiaren walked all the way to the main room, and saw Hu Zhang's face on the bed.

"Mother." Hu Jiaren called.

Hu Zhang's eyelids, who heard the voice, opened their eyelids tremblingly, and a string of tears flowed down his face to the pillow.

"Jia'er, it's all stupid."

"No, it's not." Hu Jiaren sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand and said softly: "Mother is not wrong, it is those people who have bad intentions." ”

Hu Zhang's eyes were red and swollen, he shook his head and couldn't speak for a long time, and then said: "Li'er, does she know, does she hate me and doesn't want to see me." ”

Hu Liren, who was standing by the door, cried straight to the end, and rushed in at this time and said: "Mother, Li'er didn't hate you, it's not my mother's fault, it's that the people in their family are too bad!" ”

"Mother, you don't have to worry, I am willing to go to their house as a concubine. That way, Daddy will be able to come back. Hu Liren said in a fierce voice: "Doesn't their family just want me, then I'll marry, so what's the difference between a wife and a concubine." ”

When she goes, she will have to turn their family upside down!

Hu Zhang's voice suddenly became sad, he struggled to sit up, hugged Hu Liren and cried: "But what if their family abuses you, my mother and your father can't save you....."

"Mother......

Listening to this sad voice, Hu Jiaren bit her lip and sat aside, and after a while, until she tasted the taste of blood in her mouth, she said with difficulty: "Don't cry, it'll be fine." I look the same as my sister, and I went to guard the house for my sister as a concubine. ”

"This way, my sister will be fine, and my father will be back soon."

The crying suddenly stopped.

Hu Liren wiped her tears with red eyes, and was about to say, 'I don't want you to go for me, I'll go by myself.' I heard my mother holding me and say, "No, Jia'er absolutely not!" ”

Hu Liren was stunned for a moment, and looked up at her mother, who had always loved her. My sister is definitely not good, is that just her?

Hu Jiaren didn't notice her sister's reaction, and said seriously: "I mean seriously, with Li'er's temperament, I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten on the first day." ”

"Mother, you can rest assured that I will go, I will take good care of myself."

Hu Zhangshi let go of his little daughter, sat up straight and said, "Don't mention this matter again, Jia'er, I will never agree, and so will your father." You have been learning to take care of the household since you were ten years old, but you can follow your father in two years. ”

"If you do this, no one in the Hu family will care. What's more, you have already been engaged to your cousin, just waiting for you to meet you. ”

At the mention of these, Hu Jiaren was also silent. Although there is no love for her fiancé, it is better than being a little wife for others. As soon as she spoke, her courage had already been used, and there was no strength to mention it at this time.

This night, the Hu family couldn't sleep.

The next day, someone came with bad news that Hu Changan was sick and was now burning a little badly. If it is not treated, I am afraid that the disease will be aggravated.

To add insult to injury.

Since the day Hu Jiaren came back, he has not had a good rest for a day, and his eyes are blue and black and his lips are white after a few days. She held her spirits and said to her sister: "You accompany your mother at home, I will go out to find someone, at least send a doctor in to show my father." ”

"Hmm." Hu Liren responded silently.

Seeing her sister, who has always been lively, this listless appearance, Hu Jiaren was very distressed, raised her hand and touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid, my sister will find a way to help you." ”
