Daddy Mu threw the burning stick on the ground, then sat on a low stool in the patio, untied a bag of dry tobacco from his trouser belt, lit it and smoked it tick-tock, and then looked up and said: "The spring flowers are gone, your sister is gone, and the children are gone, don't you ask where they went?"

Mu Rentong then remembered that Fang Cai's father said that they went out to live, and asked, "You said that they went out to live, where did they go to live?"

"Your host let them go out to live, and gave some silver for living expenses, your owner is really good, for those girls no one ripped two clothes, they were so happy as if something, hey, I have seen through here, although there are no grandchildren, and they are laughed at by outsiders, but life is their own, aren't a few granddaughters their own, stunned to make them look like beggars and unsightly, you are too, let your mother abuse them, they are all your daughters, your heart is iron," Daddy Mu took a few puffs, then threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it with his foot.

Mu Rentong was slightly stunned, "Dad, what are you talking about, when did my mother abuse them, it's not a good food and drink,"

"Delicious food and drink, although you are busy, but you will go home every night, when do you see your daughters wear a brand new clothes, don't they all sew and mend the old clothes of adults, they will wear them, your daughter's hands, feet and face, which winter will not burst,"

"This, the child wears old clothes, isn't it okay, my mother said that I was like this when I was a child," Mu Rentong stood stunned, his mind couldn't turn for a while, why didn't his father be angry for his grandson, but talk about his granddaughters.

"When you were a child, you wore old clothes, that's because your father didn't have the ability, Tongzai, do you remember when you were seven years old, the New Year, the children are wearing new clothes, but you are still wearing the old cotton jacket two years ago, not only broken, but also a lot shorter, you went out to play for a while, then went home and hid under the locust tree to cry, saying that other friends laughed at you, there was no new clothes for the New Year, you also scolded your father and me, said that I had no ability, said I couldn't earn silver, you were only seven years old at the time, a man, you also know that love is beautiful, Don't say a little girl, as for your daughter-in-law, I won't say it, I haven't had a good life since I got married, your mother abuses her all the time, the work is all done, and she can't say half a good word, and she still plays right and wrong in front of you, and even hates your daughter-in-law with you, and then it's good, just get a concubine to enter the door, fortunately, Chunhua is capable and virtuous, and she looks stout, your mother expects her to give birth to a grandson, so she is treated better, but Yue'e, pregnant with a child, was hit by several snubs, not to mention, the night the child was born, not even looking for a stable wife, The child is suffocated alive," Father Mu said, his head drooped, he had no status in the family, he was afraid of the inside, so he didn't dare to say anything about what his wife did before, perhaps, because of this, God wanted to punish him and take away his grandson, since that day the regent and the owner came to the door, he thought about it thoroughly, and felt that life was like this, but he lived most of his life, and he couldn't even say a word of truth,

Mu Rentong never dreamed that things would be like this, he stood on the spot in a daze, the brass key in his hand fell to the ground, making a clanging sound, he muttered: "The child is suffocated, why don't you invite Wen Po, why don't you invite Wen Po to give birth,"

"Yes, why don't you find a stable woman, you have to find a stable woman when you have a child," Father Mu smiled sarcastically, "But, your mother said that she had found Daxian and counted, what she had in her stomach was a girl, and your mother said that the girl was going to strangle her to death as soon as she was born, why bother to ask Wen Po, waste silver, your daughter-in-law hurt all night, your sister begged your mother, and was beaten half to death by your mother, fortunately, it was still the doctor who Chunhua went out to find, the doctor couldn't enter the house, and was stopped by your mother, Chunhua asked for medicine, gave it to your daughter-in-law, and tried her best to give birth to the child, and the child was stillborn." , Poor little baby, born all over the body, suffocated, suffocated to death in her mother's belly,"

Mu Rentong squatted down, holding his head and crying loudly, thinking of the scene described by Father Mu, his heart was like a group of ants gnawing, the pain was so painful that he couldn't say it at all, your child, your daughter-in-law, Daddy Mu deliberately didn't say his name, only used "your daughter-in-law" to say, it was clearly to wake him up, your daughter-in-law has paid so much for you, what have you done,

Father Mu sighed, walked over and closed the door, and let his son cry in the patio, he himself was very sad in his heart, he took a plate of water, washed the ashes on his face, went back to the house to change his clothes, tied up his messy hair, and then pulled up his son and said, "Go, take your daughter and sister home,"

Mu Rentong stood up, his red and swollen eyes opened slightly, looking at his father who had been in the nest for most of his life, all the time, he looked down on this father in his heart, no interest, all the time, this family is the mother in charge, so he will discuss with his mother no matter how big or small, and let his mother be in charge, but he didn't expect that in the end, his most trusted mother ruined his home,

He let Daddy Mu pull him and staggered out,

When the neighbors heard someone crying, they all came out to look, and when they saw that it was the Mu people who had returned, they all came over and said, "It's good for you to come back, go and bring Yue'e back, she has suffered too much,"

"Yes, when something like this happens, no one wants to, she is sad to death, and she still treats her like this, although the child is gone, but she is still in confinement, she is so tossed by your mother, the living will die,"

Mu Rentong only felt choked in his throat, the sad emotion choked on the tip of his heart, as soon as he spoke, he was going to shed tears, in his life, he had never tried to be so overwhelmed as now, stunned to look at the neighbors' sympathetic or sad eyes, unable to say a word, had to let his father pull him out,

The two walked through the street, through the narrow alley, I don't know how long, and finally came to the door of a house,

There was a shout from inside, he could hear it, it was his mother's voice, his mother was scolding, his painful numb heart suddenly woke up again, slammed his fist and knocked on the door, shouting: "Open the door, open the door,"

The door was opened with a babbling, and it was a mother-in-law about fifty years old who opened the door, and when she saw the two of them, she asked timidly, "Who are you looking for?"

Mu Rentong did not answer, but pushed the door and walked in.

I saw that in the yard, his mother was pointing at his sister Mu Zihui's head and scolding, "You cheap girl, people give you a house to live in, you really don't go home, you have the ability not to go back for the rest of your life, die outside, don't set foot in the door of my Mu family in the future....."

Mu Zihui hung his head, behind him were his children, and Chunhua stood aside timidly, not daring to make a sound,

Aunt Mu pushed Mu Zihui away, reached out to pull the big girl, and the big girl cried out and shouted: "Grandma, I won't go back, I won't go back,"

"I'll kill you disobedient girl, if you don't go back, whoever raised you, who gave you food, you have wings, right," said, crackling and slapping a few times, Mu Zihui hurriedly went over to stop her, crying: "Mother, what are you doing beating her, she is not sensible, you come to me if you have anything, I won't let them go back,"
