Chapter 232: The Bowl Mending Maker 5
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about going back to Xianning, but it would take several days to go back, and he was afraid that the young woman's true husband would just come back to Shuangyan Bridge at this time.
When he was mending bowls outside, he often heard about a master in Thrush Village. He knew that his grandfather was not at home all the year round, but he was still afraid that his grandfather would meet him and see through him, so every time he passed in front of his grandfather's house, he quickened his pace and tried to avoid it. Yu Youyang chased him every time and shouted at him to mend the bowl.
Unexpectedly, this time not only Yu Youyang chased out, but also his father.
He wanted to continue to hide it, but when he saw that his grandfather told him in detail, and saw that the mice and cats on the steps in front of his father's house did not fight or make trouble, he knew in his heart that this master was really not simple, so it was better to tell the origin of the matter and let the master give an idea.
Grandpa listened to the bowlmaker and nodded again and again.
"What a strange and coincidental thing." "I've never seen anything like this before. But even strange things have the simplest way to deal with them. Since you have that relationship with the woman of the bridge of the eyes, and she is so tolerant of you, you naturally can't let her down. But you said that you still have a wife in Xianning, and you can't abandon her, after all, that's your wife. β
The tinker worried, "Having said that, what should I do? If I go back, my husband comes back and learns that she had mistaken me for her man. If I don't go back, I will be worried about my wife, whom I haven't seen for a long time. β
Grandpa approvingly: "It's good that you can think so." Some people are afraid that they will stay here and abandon the past. "Grandpa vaguely heard that there was a wealthy family in Shuangyanqiao, and his father doted on his daughter and was reluctant to let her get married, so he recruited his son-in-law to come in. Because of his beautiful daughter, there are many people who take the initiative to come to the door. The tinker didn't think about it, but still remembered the past. This is indeed a rare point.
"But there's nothing to be embarrassed about, just make it clear on both sides. You are wandering outside, you can't help yourself, you have already identified yourself when you are caught, and I believe that you will not blame you for marrying a wife. The woman here can be so nice to you knowing that you are not her real husband, and I am sure she will not blame you. β
The tinker nodded slightly, as he thought.
"I just asked you why you haven't gone back because I saw a cloud of black gas above your right eyebrow, which represents your father and your mother above your right eyebrow. I think your mother may have had a hard time lately. You'd better go back to Xianning to see it. Daddy said.
The dishmaker was startled and said in a panic: "My mother will have a hard time?" β
Daddy nodded.
The bowl tinker said: "Then I will leave for Xianning tomorrow." β
Grandpa looked at the forehead above his eyebrows again and comforted: "Don't worry, although your mother is sick now, there is not much of a problem." You'll have plenty of time to go back. β
The dishmaker grateful, "Thanks for the reminder." β
Grandpa took out the money for mending the bowl, handed it to the mending bowler, and said, "You can mend this bowl and leave, this is the money for mending the bowl." You can discuss it with the woman of the double eye bridge and see how to deal with the current situation. β
The tinker waved his hand and said, "I can't take your money!" β
He adamantly not.
Grandpa gave up.
The bowl tinker mended the few bowls that Yu Youyang took out, and then left Thrush Village without collecting a penny.
As soon as the tinker left, Millet came out from behind the door. Xiaomi watched the back of the tinker go farther and farther away, and said with emotion: "I'm afraid he had an appointment with the woman of the double-eyed bridge in his previous life." β
Grandpa was not surprised when he saw Xiaomi suddenly appear, and asked, "How long have you been eavesdropping in the back?" β
Xiaomi beckoned, and Mr. Bai immediately ran to her feet. She picked up Mr. Bai and said, "I heard it all." Yu Youyang went to find Miss Zhao, and I saw that Miss Zhao had her to take care of, so I came back first. β
Seeing Mr. Bai, Grandpa thought of Helian Tian and Xu Ani again. Helian was naΓ―ve and generous, and when Xiaomi took away Mr. Bai, he didn't mean to stop him in the slightest. However, Helian Tian also knew that once this cat ghost recognized the master, it would have no meaning to anyone other than the master, and it was useless to force him to stay, so it was better to send it away generously.
"Xu Ani has been waiting by his side for so many years to be with him, and the gap between this bowl mending maker and the woman with the bridge of the eyes is too big. It seems that fate is especially kind to some people, but it is very kind to others. Millet also thought of her master's situation.
"Yes......" Daddy sighed.
Grandpa and Millet watched the dishmaker walk to the old river before retracting their gaze.
"Have you gone to see the water visitors and water monkeys?" Daddy asked.
Xiaomi nodded and said, "I heard Yu Youyang say that Yue Yun was almost snatched away when we weren't here, but fortunately the two of them helped out." I think their temperament has changed, and I want to let them all go after a while. β
Daddy nodded.
"But I'm worried that we won't have a helper when the weak king comes." Millet said.
Grandpa smiled: "They have been good, so let them have a good home." We can't keep them here because we still need them. β
Xiaomi said "yes", as if it was still a little hesitant.
Xiaomi asked again: "Ma Xiucai, do you think this person who mends the bowl will do what you say?" What if the woman with the bridge of the eyes is unwilling? Maybe the woman would be willing to agree to anything as long as he stayed by his side, but if he was asked to leave and go home, she wouldn't agree. β
Grandpa said: "Whether others want to or not, just do the right thing yourself." β
"Not everyone can think like you. β
However, the next development of events did not give the tinker a chance to consider whether to go or not.
On the third day after this time, the bowl tinker came to Thrush Village in a panic, and when he arrived at the door of his grandfather's house, he shouted: "Ma Xiucai! Ma Xiucai! β
When my grandfather heard the sound, he saw that the person who came was a bowl mending maker, and he didn't pick up the wash that he used to have on his shoulder, and knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
The dishmaker stepped through the door, looked out, and said to his father, "Oh no, no, no!" That real husband is back! β
When Grandpa heard this, he was surprised.
"Why did you just come back in the past few days?" Daddy asked.
The dishmaker said that he was preparing to go back to Xianning early this morning, and he told the woman his thoughts on the pillow in the evening, and the woman also thought that he should go back to have a look, and helped him pack his luggage. But when he was about to go out today, he saw a man who looked almost exactly like himself coming from the direction of his house.
For more than a year, he often dreamed at night that the real husband had returned to the Bridge of Eyes. So when he saw that identical person getting closer and closer, he immediately realized that what he was afraid of had finally happened.
So, he immediately shrank back into the house through the doorway.
When the woman saw him flustered, she asked what was wrong.
The tinker said, "It's over, your true husband is back!" He's already on the road ahead! β
The woman's eyes widened, and she panicked.
The tinker was in a hurry. He didn't expect that the real husband would come sooner or later, but at this time.
The woman calmed down and said, "Don't worry, we said that it was okay, even if he comes back, we will say that he is a fake." But we don't know how deep he is now, you hide first, I'll deal with him first, and see what his situation is now. β
The tinker felt that the woman had a point, so he slipped out the back door and hid behind the house to eavesdrop.
The man who looked exactly like him walked to the door and shouted, "I'm back!" β
The old lady happened to be in the hall, saw the man, and said with a smile: "Come back, come back, why are you shouting so loudly?" Apparently the old lady didn't realize it was someone else. She thought of the man as a dishmaker.
The woman hurriedly pushed the old lady into the back room.
The man said, "What are you pushing our mother into the back room?" β
The woman said: "Mom has been feeling cold these days and can't blow the wind." β
The craftsman who was hiding behind the house was worried, feeling that he had suddenly become a fake, and that he had become superfluous in this house.
In the past, he could turn around and leave.
But now he not only has a relationship with this woman, but also learned a month ago that the woman was pregnant with his flesh and blood. He already sees himself as the true husband of this woman, a member of this family. Now even if someone drives him away, he is reluctant.
He heard the woman pull the real husband into their bedroom.
The woman asked the man, "Why did you come back?" β
The man said, "This is my home, how can I not come back?" β
The woman said again: "Didn't you say that you couldn't stand the anger of the inverted door and didn't come back?" β
The man laughed for a while and said, "Aren't you reluctant to do so?" I've been away all these years, and I can endure everything else, but I always miss you at night. β
The tinker then hears the woman angrily say, "Take away your dirty hands!" β
The bowl-mending craftsman was anxious and angry. The real husband must be rude to the woman. He not only regarded himself as the true husband of this woman, but also regarded this woman as his true wife. Now that his wife is being taken advantage of by others, how can he not be anxious and angry?
But that man was a real husband by name, and the dishmaker was a counterfeit. He couldn't jump out and scold the real husband for molesting his wife.
The man whispered, "My dirty hands? Don't you like my dirty hands? Why do you dislike it now? β
The woman swallowed her breath and said, "You don't want to be like this, you haven't been back for a few years, and suddenly like this, I don't fit in." β
The tinker behind the house listened to the fire.
The man was silent for a moment, and asked in an unhappy tone, "Not comfortable?" So how do you get used to it? Could it be that during the time I was not at home, you had other good looks? β
