Chapter Twenty-Nine: Xiaomei's Thoughts

When Lu Shi woke up again, it was already evening, there was a charcoal brazier burning next to the bed, she was lying in the quilt and warm, until a burst of fragrance came into her nose, she was embarrassed to get up and lean on the head of the bed, raised her eyes, only to see Yi Yu holding a steaming bowl and lifting the curtain from the hall to walk in, seeing her wake up, the little face immediately hung a surprised smile, and hurriedly walked over.

Lu Shi looked at her daughter's bright little face by the firelight, only to feel as if she had had a long dream before, and the dream was full of accusatory glances from others, and she was forced to be speechless in everyone, so she could only run away in disgrace.

"Mother, you can wake up, drink some porridge first." Yi Yu used a pair of small hands to hold the bowl of hot porridge in front of Lu's eyes.

Lu Shi felt hungry at this time, took the bowl, and said; "Yu'er, don't you know, Gangniang had a nightmare, and she almost couldn't wake up."

Yi Yu's face turned pale, he opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, lowered his head and waited for Lu Shi to finish drinking the porridge and handed her the bowl, then he said, "Mother, do you still want to sleep?" ”

Lu Shi shook his head suspiciously, looked at the sky outside again, and said, "It's really more and more alive to go back, and I actually fell asleep in broad daylight?" ”

Yi Yu bit her lip and put the bowl aside, her heart churned, although she knew that Lu Shi was subconsciously evading behavior, and she was unwilling to break it if possible, but thinking of the current situation, she sat on the side of Lu's bed in desperation, and said fiercely: "Mother, if you rest well, let's discuss what to do now." ”

"Discuss something." When Lu Shi heard her, he seemed to remember something, and his face changed slightly, but he still asked with a hint of luck.

"Mother, youβ€”don't you remember the events of the day?"

At this question, it was difficult for Lu Shi to convince himself that everything was a dream, so he only closed his eyes and leaned back, and Yu Yu was jumped by her action, only when she was about to faint again, she hurriedly hugged her, but was pushed away by Lu's backhand.

"You and, let my mother think about it." Lu fell on her back on the bed, staring at the roof with stunned eyes, so that no one could see what she was thinking.

Yi Yu wanted to be comforted, but she knew that unless Lu Shi figured it out herself, she said that no matter how much she said, it would be useless, it was better to give her mother some time to let her adapt to the current situation, and the two would discuss how to deal with it.

At this time, she was also depressed in her heart, and when she saw off her two brothers in the morning, although she was sad but joyful, she didn't expect that in just one day, there would be such a flying disaster. What Wang did today, she didn't see through it at first, but when she figured it out, it had already made people have conclusive evidence of the crime, and Lu couldn't stand the blow and fainted.

That Mayor Zhang is indeed a local tyrant, and his brother-in-law of a concubine alone can do things to rob people's daughters, and he is no better than him, listening to what Wang's sentences say, he has sold her mother with her aunt, and the mayor of Zhang seems to have made up his mind to accept her mother as a house.

Since Lu fainted at noon to the present, she has gone from being anxious at the beginning to calming down, and then she really thought of a few ways to come out, but the premise is that Mayor Zhang is unaware, if this Mayor Zhang is also involved in the tricks of the Wang family and Aunt Wang, the two of them will have only one way to go.

Here Lu Shi and Yi Yu each fell into deep thought, but a slight knock on the door suddenly remembered, Yu Yu looked at the Lu Shi who was not moving, sighed unpleasantly, and got up and went out to open the door, she was curious who would find it at this time?

As soon as the door opened halfway, her face was pulled down with a "whoosh", staring coldly at the person in front of her, and said, "What are you still doing at my house?" ”

The person who came was Wang's daughter Li Xiaomei, the little girl who was once treated as a friend, but after the jade was found at home, it was difficult to understand her.

"Xiaoyu, you, can you let me in first, I have something to tell you." Li Xiaomei's face was full of guilt, although she felt a hint of comfort in her expression, she still couldn't make a good face to her.

"If you have anything to say, you can say it quickly, I don't want you to come in and have more Rausch tokens in my house." Yi Yu refused to let her in.

"I, I'm really in trouble, it's inconvenient to say here, you let me in!" When she saw that Yu Yu refused to let her enter the house, she looked behind her in a panic, as if she had seen something, and her expression was in a hurry, and she actually pushed the unguarded Yu into the house, and squeezed in by the way.

Yi Yu was jumped by her, but when she came back to her senses, she saw her backhand to fall into her own door, and immediately shouted: "Who let you in!" Get out! ”

Li Xiaomei was even more panicked by her yelling, her hand trembled a few times before she closed the door, and hurriedly turned around to cover Yu Yu's mouth, while whispering in her ear: "Shhh ”

Yi Yu saw the look on her face clearly through the faint moonlight from the window on the side, and secretly said that her appearance did not seem to be fake, and she heard the shouts of the Wang clan suddenly remembered outside, so she was slightly moved.

Pulled down Li Xiaomei's sweaty palm, lowered her voice and said, "If you dare to lie to me again, hum!" ”

The threatening sound of the Yu Yu falling on Li Xiaomei's ears made her happy, and she replied in a low voice: "No, no, I won't lie to you again, let's go in first, okay?" ”

Yi Yu didn't answer, pulled one of her sleeves and led her into the house.

***

Lu Shi sat in the quilt, looking at the little girl with her head hanging in front of the bed, with mixed feelings in her heart, after listening to her explanation of the cause and effect, she didn't answer, only stunned and turned her head to look at the jade and began to be in a daze.

It was too dark, and Yi Yu didn't notice Lu's eyes, but digested everything he had just heard.

It turned out that the Wang family and the Wang matchmaker had calculated the Lu family from the day they came to kiss, whether it was for money or resentment, in short, they had made a plan to get the Lu family into Mayor Zhang's house. Mrs. Wang was even more thoughtful, but she knew that the soft Lu family would never agree, so she discussed countermeasures with the Wang family.

After she returned to Zhang Zhen that day, she told the mayor of the town of Zhang about the Lu family, and praised the Lu family's behavior and appearance, but did not say that the Lu family was unwilling to remarry at all.

After receiving the token, Mrs. Wang came to the mountain village again, and after discussing with Wang, she decided to wait for Lu Zhi's test results to come out and make plans, if Lu Zhi is not successful, then it will naturally be easy to do, if you need Lu Zhi to leave, and then design Lu's family, then Lu Zhi will really come back with an official and a half-job, and I am afraid it will be a foregone conclusion, her mother has already passed the door of Mayor Zhang's house, and Mayor Zhang is his father, can he still turn the sky over.

The mayor of Zhang was also kept in the dark, if he knew that the Lu family had a son who went to Beijing to take the exam, I am afraid that he would have to think about this family matter, but the matchmaker Wang had the idea of hiding from both ends, once her design was successful today, Mayor Zhang knew that the Lu family's refusal to marry would only be regarded as her regret, not that she did not agree at the beginning. In addition, if he knows about Lu Zhi's affairs, according to his temperament, I am afraid that he will not do anything and forcibly marry someone back despite Lu's resistance.

This is the truth, Li Xiaomei also admitted to the two of them at this time that she had lied before, and that she had come to her house the day before yesterday to hide the ring. Although Yi Yu had already guessed it, but when she really heard her say it, it was still difficult to accept it, so she could only secretly say that she was separated from the mountains and the water and from the belly, and she didn't know the face of the person but didn't know the heart.

"In this way, you will make it clear to the villagers tomorrow, and return my mother's innocence." Yi Yu sighed, if this Li Xiaomei is really willing to help her mother testify, she probably won't be able to hate her anymore.

But she didn't want Li Xiaomei to listen to her words, so she hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand and said, "No, no." ”

"No way?" Yi Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily: "Why not, if you are allowed to do it, you will not recognize it?" ”

"No, it's not ......" Li Xiaomei hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "I can't testify for you, if so, if I tell the truth, my mother, my mother will marry me to Zhang Zhen's lame son!" ”

Yi Yu had heard about this, but she didn't know that the Wang family used this to scare Li Xiaomei, and remembered that after hearing about this at the time, Li Xiaomei did not object, so why did she have this attitude now: "Didn't you know that your mother wanted you to marry her, why were you afraid?" ”

"My mother didn't make up with his family, I only didn't care if she was laughing with people, I, I didn't see him at that time, I saw him once a year ago, but he was pockmarked and stuttered when he spoke, I didn't want to marry him. But my mother said, if I don't listen to her and go and make this marriage for me, how can I not do what she says. ”

Yi Yu sneered: "She is scaring you, if you really don't want to, how can your mother pile you into the fire pit." ”

"My mother won't, but my aunt will!" Li Xiaomei cried out in a lost voice: "My aunt doesn't care about me, she, as long as she has a reward to take, and who I am, my mother listens to her the most, it is difficult to ensure that she will not be fooled by her, and marry me in a daze." ”

"Are you afraid that you have found the wrong lover, but you don't care whether my mother lives or dies!" Yi Yu knew that she was not the mastermind, but after listening to her words, it was still difficult to suppress her anger, their family had never been wary of Li Xiaomei, so they let her succeed. If it weren't for Li Xiaomei's mixing, I'm afraid it would be difficult to succeed today, and she was so ruthless for the sake of her lifelong happiness after making trouble for a long time.

People's hearts are like this, no matter how kind and honest you are on the surface, if you are really touched on your own interests, you will also push others out to be substitutes for the dead, although Li Xiaomei's actions are not from her heart, but her behavior of aiding and abusive is subconsciously replacing her happiness with the future of the Lu family.

"Iβ€”I'm not..... Woo woo... Xiaoyu, don't be angry with me, I'm not like that, I'm just, I'm just scared, didn't I come to make it clear to you now... Why are you still angry with me..."Li Xiaomei heard the chill in Yi Yu's words, and she cried when she felt wronged in her heart, she also ran out under her mother's nose with great difficulty, originally thinking that after clarifying with Yu Yu and Lu, the other party would be considerate of her, but Yu Yu not only did not understand her, but accused her like this.

"Alright." Only then did Yi Yu notice that Lu Shi, who had been in a daze since the beginning, frowned, and said impatiently to Li Xiaomei, who was crying: "I know what you are doing, and you said that you want to help, but it turned out to be just for peace of mind, you can go, don't come again in the future, because I don't know you as a person." ”

"Then, when Brother Lu Zhige comes back, don't tell him all these things I did, okay?" Li Xiaomei saw that Yu Yu began to pick up people, so she put away her tears, choked up and asked cautiously.

Yi Yu was really angry with her now, and the little patience she had left was exhausted, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You get out of here immediately." ”
