In Xiaocao's consciousness world, the little mending heaven stone can communicate with the woman: [Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, don't worry, I will help you. Are you going to leave tonight, or are you going to ......]

"Emerald ...... Cuiyun! Xiao Tianshi's words were interrupted by an old and trembling voice. The three of them looked in the direction where the voice came from, and the rickety figure of the old man appeared in the moonlight. After tonight, the old man seems to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

The woman in white looked at the old man's gaze, and there was no longer the warmth of Fang Cai, she said lightly: Yu Liqiu, our husband and wife relationship has long been worn out when you were silent about what you did to the Zhang family. To be honest, I'm disappointed in you! People often say: If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. And so it was!

The old man is full of tears, I don't know whether it is nostalgia or guilt. His voice trembled, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of our children. I'm sorry for you! ”

There was no emotion in the woman's voice: Don't say anything superfluous, I'm too lazy to listen. I don't need your repentance and atonement, in the future, causing less trouble to Hai'er's family is your best atonement.

Then, she looked at Yu Hai with reluctant eyes and said softly: Hai'er, I'm leaving! Re-entering the cycle of reincarnation is the best place for me. Don't be sad, be ......

She glanced at the kitten in Xiaocao's arms. Xiao Mending Heaven Shi comprehended, and a golden light burst out around the woman, and the figure gradually faded away......

"Mother-" Yu Hai's cry looked sad and sad in the quiet mountain forest. However, he also knows that reincarnation is the best destination for his mother. Although he is reluctant, he cannot keep it.

The old man cried sadly, muttering: "She's blaming me, blaming me...... She won't forgive me! Cuiyun, Cuiyun...... I'm sorry for you!! ”

Hai and Lao Yu knelt on the mountain road, and stood awkwardly, looking at the direction in which the figure had dispersed, unable to help himself for a long time. A cool mountain breeze blew, and Yu Xiaocao sneezed loudly.

This sneeze redeemed Yu Hai from his grief. Yu Hai wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up, took off the coat draped over his shoulders, wrapped it around his daughter's body, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Cao'er, put it on quickly, don't get cold-Dad, you can go back too." ”

"She's blaming me, she's blaming me......" Old Yu Tou seemed to be stunned, and kept muttering this sentence.

Yu Hai sighed and said softly, "Dad, I don't blame you. Mother won't blame you either!! Zhang's saying is good: the little brother and sister are also the flesh and blood of the Yu family, and the palms and backs of the hands are all meat. They are young, and it makes sense for you to favor them. Don't think about it, go back! ”

Lao Yutou raised his head and looked at his son, who had been the most worry-free since he was a child, with tears in his eyes. If he paid more attention to his son, would Zhang have any concerns? Will the son suffer less? Cuiyun won't blame him? There are not so many "ifs" in life, and whoever does what he does will be responsible!

"The sea! You've split up, so don't worry about things at home. Later...... Live your life well!! The old man turned around and walked back along the rugged mountain road. His steps seemed so heavy!

Yu Hai looked at his father's back that was no longer upright, his mouth moved, and finally raised his voice: "If you separate the family, you are also my father!" I should honor you, and I won't lose a cent...... "However, if he shouldn't be out, he won't take any more!"

The grandfather and the couple supported each other back to the old mansion, looking at the three crumbling adobe houses, Yu Hai suddenly said: "After the autumn harvest, we will build the house!" The old house was torn down, and the land next to it was bought and five bright brick houses were built. The front yard and back yard are doubled! Our days are prosperous, and your grandmother can be reincarnated without worry......"

Although Yu Xiaocao was more inclined to buy a house and land in the town, when she heard her father say this, she had to nod in support: "Hmm! Let's build the best house in the village. The windows are the same as Brother Han's house, they are also made of glass, which is bright and warm. ”

"Good! Just make windows out of glass! Yu Hai exhaled a deep breath of turbid air held in his chest. Whoever hears that his mother was killed by someone will not be smooth in his heart. Fortunately, my mother showed up today, saying that she didn't blame him, and let him live a good life...... Rest assured, he will definitely live a prosperous life!

The next day, Yu Xiaocao stayed at home and rarely had a free time. The melon shop's business is on track, and the eldest aunt can be busy alone, so she can get out of it and take a good rest.

Near noon, Xiaocao's uncle Yu Bo came back reluctantly. He was followed by a few servants.

As soon as the official entered the gate of Yu's house, Zhang, who had not slept all night, hid on the kang and did not dare to come out like a mouse seeing a cat. Li Shi also shrank timidly into a ball, and said in a low voice: "The sea is too unauthentic, didn't you say that you won't report to the official?" How can talking not count? Mother, you quickly hide, kill people to pay for your life, if you are caught, you will be killed! ”

Last night's movements, no one in the Yu family didn't know what the Zhang family had done. Although Li is not ashamed of her mother-in-law in her heart, she has no impression of her father-in-law's original partner, and Zhang is her man's mother-in-law, so naturally she will not do anything out of the ordinary.

Zhang was harassed by the "ghost" all night, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. Hearing what Li said, he walked around the house, not knowing where to hide......

"Mother! We have been deceived, deceived!! As soon as Yu Bo entered the door, he saw Zhang's face with a pale face, he was stunned at first, and then cried.

Listening to the crying voice of his youngest son, Zhang was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Xiaobo, what did you say?" The guy who said he could help you get into Rongxuan Academy was a liar? That...... And the three hundred taels of silver that I gave you? Did you give it to him? ”

Yu Bo cried with a sad face, without the slightest of the style of a literati, squatted on the ground and hugged his head and said: "That person came to me the day before yesterday and said that he needed a sum of silver to move the door, so I gave him all the three hundred taels of silver." In the morning, the messengers came to me and said that the man was a liar and had been arrested, and he would face off in court tomorrow. ”

"That'...... Those officials are not here to arrest me? Zhang poked his head into the courtyard and asked in a low voice.

Yu Bo was surprised: "Arrest you? What are you doing here? They are routine, they have come to summon you, and Ming'er will go to the court for questioning. Mother, don't worry. We were just deceived, and we didn't do anything illegal and undisciplined. ”

You don't have it, but I do!! Zhang's bitterness can't be said. After Yu Hai left yesterday, the family held a family meeting and decided to rot all the disgraceful things in her past. In particular, he can't let the aftermath know, which will affect his mood for reading.

Yu Bo saw that his mother was still stunned, and hurriedly reminded: "Mother, the poor men have walked so far, first boil some water for them to drink." Lunch, we have to take care of it, we can't let the family go hungry to run errands! The second sister-in-law and Xiaocao's craftsmanship is good, why don't you invite them to help set up a table of dishes? ”

Zhang's heart is even more bitter than Coptis chinensis! I just signed and drew a pledge last night, promising never to disturb the second family, and today I will come to the door to invite someone to come over and cook, isn't this a slap in the face? She has a handle in Yu Hai's hands, that guy loves his daughter-in-law, if he knew that she had just sworn on the front foot, he would call his daughter-in-law on the back foot, and it would be strange not to sue her to the county government.

Zhang Shi paused and said, "Your second brother's family is so busy now that one person can't wait to be two envoys, how can you trouble others again?" Zhang Quan's daughter-in-law's cooking skills are also good, so let's ask her to help! ”

Yu Bo was even more surprised in his heart: When did my mother learn to be considerate of the second brother's family? The sun rises in the west today? However, he also heard in the town that the melon shop business of the second brother's family was indeed quite busy. Mother is right, who to cook for is not the same?

Zhang sent Li to invite Zhang Quan's daughter-in-law, she went to the courtyard and greeted a few officials politely, and then went to the chicken pen to catch a big rooster and kill it. A few chickens raised at home, her baby is like something, even if she is reluctant to kill one to eat during the New Year, today is also a big bloodletting!

She took out a few eggs, thought about it, put them back again, and beckoned her little son over: "Xiaobo, you said that we were cheated out of the silver, can you get it back?" ”

Yu Bo said with an embarrassed face: "It stands to reason that I only sent the silver the day before yesterday, and there was only a day in between. The silver must not have time to spend it. But ......"

He looked outside and whispered: "People often say: The yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money." I estimate that the three hundred taels of silver, even if they are found, will almost be confiscated......"

Zhang's heart is dripping blood! Three hundred taels of silver, not a few! That's almost half of the family's savings. There is no Yu Hai at home who can make money, so don't think about earning back the three hundred taels of silver in this life. She covered her heart and sat on the ground with her legs limp.

"Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!! Yu Bo looked at Zhang clutching his chest, looking out of breath, and he ran out of ideas.

Zhang took a few breaths and sat on the ground silently weeping. She remembered what Xiaocao said yesterday, what kind of place is Rongxuan Academy, the place where those big officials, nobles, rich businessmen, and tycoons also want to send their sons in!! Not to mention five hundred taels of silver, it is five thousand two hundred and fifty thousand taels, and if you can get in, there are also people who fight for the quota. With such a good thing, how could it be their turn to be a small person? Why did she get so dizzy and believe the liar's rhetoric?

"Mother, are you better? It's all because my son is not good! If it weren't for my son, our family wouldn't have lost such a lot of money, and you wouldn't have to worry about it! Yu Bo was also remorseful at this time. If he hadn't been eager to study, how could he have been targeted and defrauded of money?
