Chapter 26: Funeral

made a lot of money today, Hua Qingyan pulled Hu Baizhi to buy some white noodles with fine meat, and when she passed by Buzhuang, Hua Qingyan picked out some ready-to-wear clothes and shoes for the two little buns and Bi'er, as for herself, she was still wearing these for the time being. Hu Baizhi originally wanted Hua Qingyan to buy some fabrics and go back to make them by herself or for others, but when she thought of the clothes on Xiao Baozi's body, she gave up. It will take time to make clothes from fabric, and now the little buns are almost out of clothes.

On the way back to Baolin Hall, Hua Qingyan saw that there were sugar gourds selling on the side of the road, so she decisively took four more strings, divided one string to Hu Baizhi, and took the rest back to Xiao Baozi and Bi'er, Bi'er was still a child in Hua Qingyan's heart.

After solving the big problem of money, Hua Qingyan thought about the child daughter-in-law. I don't know how Hu Langzhong inquired about Zhao Yuanwai, whether there is any news that can be used.

The two returned to Baolin Hall, Hu Langzhong was sitting in the lobby, and he was relieved to see the two girls come back safely. After handing over the patient to the doctor in Baolin Hall, he beckoned the two of them to sit in the middle room. Hua Qingyan followed Hu Langzhong all the way, watching Hu Langzhong talk to the people of Baolin Hall. That person should be the shopkeeper of Baolin Hall, but his attitude towards Hu Langzhong is extraordinarily respectful, and Hua Qingyan's evaluation of Hu Langzhong in her heart is a few points higher.

"Sit down and rest your feet." Hu Langzhong sat down and signaled.

At this time, the shopkeeper brought three cups of tea and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, Hu Langzhong is a frequent visitor to Baolin Hall, so he should be at his own home." ”

Hua Qingyan sat down and took a shallow sip of the teacup, smacked her lips and said in her heart, good tea. Hua Qingyan has been pampered since she was a child, and her grandfather is a good tea, so she knows a little about tea. Today's drink should be this year's new tea. Tea is a precious thing for the countrymen, and it is the best treatment in the countryside to entertain guests and add a spoonful of sugar to make a cup of sugar water. This Baolintang doesn't look like he's extraordinarily rich, but now he actually entertains them with new tea, it seems that this Baolintang values Hu Langzhong very much.

However, what Bao Lintang's attitude was was not in Hua Qingyan's consideration, and what she was anxious about now was another matter. Putting down the teacup, Hua Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Hu, is there news about the Zhao family?" ”

Hu Langzhong looked at Hua Qingyan and stared for three seconds before he spoke: "There is indeed news." That Zhao Yuanwai's family does have a five-year-old grandson, who is very much loved by Zhao Yuanwai. However, the little grandson's small body is not good, and he is sick in bed all the year round. Zhao Yuanwai got a Taoist priest's prescription a few days ago, saying that he wanted to find a three-year-old girl to be a child daughter-in-law for his little grandson. ”

Hu Langzhong paused, and a trace of darkness flashed in his eyes, "However, I heard that Zhao Yuanwai's little grandson died five days ago, and the Zhao family did not release the news, but continued to let people find the little girl to send it, I am afraid that the little girl will be buried with his little grandson." Speaking of this, Hu Langzhong glared at Hua Qingyan with a pair of sharp eyes, "I don't care what you call me to inquire about the affairs of the Zhao family, but if you want to send the girl to death, I won't agree!" If you really do this, don't blame Uncle Hu for not remembering the old love! ”

Where can Hua Qingyan still hear Hu Langzhong's warning now, her mind is in chaos, and her heart is even more angry! It turns out that the Hua family actually had such an idea! This is simply sending Xi'er to death! Fifty taels to buy her son's life! She wondered how Hua Panpan could be so kind! It turned out to be such a vicious idea! If she was confused by Hua Panpan's words and took the initiative to hand over Xi'er, then there would only be death waiting for Xi'er! The thought of that cute and clingy little girl who would never be able to show a bright smile from now on, Hua Qingyan's heart ached!

Hu Langzhong looked at Hua Qingyan's blue and white face for a while, and knew that he had a misunderstanding of her, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Did someone have the idea? ”

Hu Baizhi, who was originally confused, immediately exploded when she heard it, "Who is it!" Say it quickly! See if I don't kill him! It's a terrible idea! ”

Hua Qingyan bit her lip to stabilize her emotions, and then the original words that the Hua family had said to her before would come out, including fifty taels and the high-sounding words of lightening the burden for her. Hu Langzhong slapped the table heavily and scolded: "This flower family simply doesn't know what to say!" Saying that, he comforted Hua Qingyan again, "Don't be afraid, girl, Uncle Hu will not let the Hua family succeed!" ”

Hua Qingyan pulled out an extremely difficult smile: "Thank you, Uncle Hu, but this matter must be solved by myself, otherwise, otherwise, as long as the Hua family finds an opportunity, there will definitely be some entanglement." So, she had to figure out a way to do it once and for all!

Because she was worried about Xi'er, Hua Qingyan didn't have the heart to go shopping, and so did Hu Langzhong and Hu Baizhi. So the three of them hurriedly packed their things, went out of the city to Ma Peng, took back the big green mule, and returned to the village. Along the way, because the three of them had something on their minds, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

The three of them rushed back to the village as fast as they could, and as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a woman who was riding with them in the early morning running over, pulling Hua Qingyan and saying anxiously: "Hua Qingyan, you go to Hu's house quickly, Hua Panpan is going to sell your daughter!" ”

Hua Qingyan's heart trembled, Hua Panpan really couldn't wait, and took advantage of her own time to go to the town and wanted to catch Xi'er and sell it forcibly! Hua Panpan is simply a matter of human life! Hua Qingyan couldn't wait to strangle Hua Panpan to death, but the ancient criminal law also did not allow killing! Hua Qingyan forced herself to calm down, and said to Hu Baizhi, who was anxious on the side: "Bai Zhi go and help me find Lizheng!" ”

Hu Baizhi glanced at her father, and when she saw Hu Langzhong's gloomy face and nodded above her, she immediately pulled out her legs and ran towards Lizheng's residence.

The door of the courtyard of the Hu family was open at the moment, and Mrs. Hu went to the village to deliver medicine, so she instructed Bi'er to take the two children to play in the yard. Bi'er thought that she had been bothering the Hu family too much in the past few days, so she helped to do something, carrying a bucket, and thinking about cleaning the Hu family inside and out. However, she did not forget the young lady's entrustment, and told the two children well, "Little master, little young lady, you must be obedient in the yard, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" ”

Xiao Wuwu is an elder brother after all, and he is more sensible than Xi'er, and nodded: "Well, I will watch my sister and never go out." Sister Bi'er rest assured. ”

Bi'er nodded with satisfaction and was just about to enter the house, when she heard a commotion at the gate of the courtyard, and then Hua Panpan's unique loud voice: "Little cub, come out for me!" Don't think that if you hide in someone's house, I won't be able to catch you! As she spoke, Hua Panpan had already entered the courtyard of the Hu family, followed by two sturdy men in black.

Bi'er quickly stepped forward and took the two children into her arms, glaring at Hua Panpan: "What do you want to do!" Don't try to beat our idea! Bi'er obviously felt the two children in her arms shrink for a moment, and looked down, worry-free and fine, although scared, she still pretended to be calm, and Xi'er had already turned pale with fright, and her thin and thin body trembled in her arms. Bi'er subconsciously hugged Xi'er, grasped it without worry, and looked at Shanghua Panpan's cruel eyes without flinching.

Hua Panpan is not afraid of Bi'er, not to mention that there are guards of the Zhao family behind her. She took two steps forward and smiled coldly: "Dead girl, get acquainted with that little girl and hand it over to me!" Otherwise, I'll kill you today! ”

Bi'er hurriedly blocked the two children behind her, and puffed her chest: "Impossible! You old witch! ”

"I'm their aunt! You're just a little maid of the Hua family, and you still have the right to stop me? What a joke! Hua Panpan sneered.

Bi'er's heart trembled, Hua Panpan is Miss's sister-in-law, this matter cannot be changed, and she is also the aunt and grandmother of the two children. It is said that filial piety comes first, if the little master and the little lady disobey Hua Panpan's order, it is unfilial! But Miss Hua Panpan must have bad intentions! She must not let Miss Xi'er fall into the hands of Hua Panpan! Bi'er gritted her teeth, no matter how desperately she wants to protect the two children!

Looking at Bi'er's gray face, Hua Panpan smiled proudly, dead girl, now I know I'm afraid, I didn't kill you last time, I must make you look good this time!

Hua Panpan slapped Bi'er while thinking!

Bi'er flashed to the side with the two children, Hua Panpan threw herself into the air, leaned forward, and almost fell. She finally stabilized her figure, and looked at Bi'er's eyes even more fiercely: "Dead girl, you dare to hide!" See if I don't kill you! I'm going to sell that kid today! ”

Sell children! Bi'er recalled Hua Panpan's words before, and subconsciously glanced at Xi'er, no need to guess that Hua Panpan's goal was Xi'er! Bi'er's eyes widened in disbelief: "How can you do this! You're going to sell Miss Xi'er! I won't let you get away with it, never! ”

Hua Panpan didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, and rushed directly towards the three of them. Bi'er knew that she couldn't beat Hua Panpan, so she pulled the two children and ran out of the yard, but her body was still weak, and she was immediately out of breath when she ran, which was very difficult. Seeing that Hua Panpan is about to catch up. This will not work! Bi'er gasped and said to the two children: "Run, go find someone, go to ***!" I'm holding her back! ”

Although Wuwu is only three years old, he is very righteous, his eyes are firm, he bit his lip and said, "Let my sister run, I'll help you!" ”

Compared with the carefree intelligence, Xi'er is much more ignorant. All she knew was fear, and she held her brother's hand tightly. However, she also understood Hua Panpan's words that she was going to sell her, and she was crying so much at the moment that it was impossible for her to run out alone for help.

But fortunately, there is a lot of movement here, which attracts a lot of villagers. Among them were those who went to town with Hua Qingyan in the morning. Those women had all seen Hua Qingyan's two children, and seeing that Hua Panpan was also here, they knew that she had bad intentions, so they asked people to go to the village entrance and wait for Hua Qingyan or Hu Langzhong to protect the two children.

At this time, Hua Panpan had already run over and grabbed Xi'er's arm: "Run? I'll see where you're going! Hua Panpan's face trembled, and she glared at the three of Bi'er. She came to the door today when Hua Qingyan and the Hu family were not there, and let the little cub run out to find the person back, wouldn't it be a waste of her previous efforts. Besides, selling children is not honorable, she doesn't want to stamher her reputation, and her daughter will marry a good family in the future!

The little child was so frightened that she cried "wow".
