Chapter 13: A Conspiracy for the Heavens
"The guy surnamed Yuan just said that he was making 100 days of wine for his youngest son?" Fang Jianzheng ate the steamed bun, and after taking a bite, he asked Yu Cai, who was about to exit the side room, while chewing.
"Seems to say so." Yu Cai felt particularly awkward and heartbroken when he heard the word 'son' for some reason.
"How old is that kid?" Fang Jian put down the chopsticks in his hand and played with the steamed buns that he had eaten a bite in his hand.
"Huh?" Yu Cai didn't understand who the 'kid' in Fang Jian's question was.
Fang Jian threw a look at Yu Cai, like a cold arrow rushing towards Yu Cai, "Ah, what? I ask you, how big is that money-losing goods? ”
Yu Cai was frightened by Fang Jian's roar, "Two... It's been twenty days. ”
Fang Jian took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, "Is there a big difference between twenty days and a hundred days?" After asking, he picked up the bowl and took a big sip of mixed soup.
"I... I'm also the first time I've been reborn, so I don't know if there's a big difference. When she said this, Yu Cai closed her eyes slightly, her body shrank back, she was afraid that Fang Jian would not be right and start fighting directly, although in the past year and a half, he had not beaten her again, but Yu Cai knew that Fang Jian did not beat her not because he had changed his temperament, but because her belly could give birth to children.
Fang Jian took another sip of mixed soup, only to see that in the bowl polished by the years, the mixed soup was about to bottom out, "I was born dozens of days early, so there should not be much difference." ”
Yu Cai is not yin, why does Bai Fangjian want to talk about the difference between a hundred days and a twenty-day child, she doesn't know how to pick up Fang Jian's words, so she can only respond, "There should be not much difference." ”
"You go and get that kid."
Fang Jian's understatement made Yu Cai feel that her heart had been attacked by a great panic, she was trying hard to think about her every move today, there was nothing to provoke Fang Jian, no, she was surrounded by fear in her heart, Fang Jian had never had a reason.
Fang Jian slapped his chopsticks on the kang table, "Where are you pestle, can you come by yourself to lose money?" ”
Yu Cai didn't dare to stay for half a minute, turned around and walked to the main house, the moment she saw the child, her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she couldn't wipe them all, "I'll see my father later, don't cry obediently, and don't make trouble." ”
Twenty-day-old babies are still asleep, don't say they can't hear, and even if they do, they don't necessarily understand. Where did Yu Cai dare to take a good look at the child again, and directly picked up the small quilt wrapped in the child, and quickly returned to the side room.
Fang Jian had already finished eating the food on the kang table, and the empty bowls and plates said that he had eaten very well.
Yu Cai hugged the child, exposed the child's head, and walked to Fang Jian, the distance between her and Fang Jian at this moment was too close, so that she didn't even dare to breathe.
Fang Jian glanced at the child in Yu Cai's arms, and he didn't know if it was because the light in the room was not good, or the child's original complexion, the child in the quilt was black, the whole face was not as big as Fang Jian's fist, and the facial features were still shrunk together after falling asleep, like a shirt that was not completely flattened after washing, and the hair on the top of the head was scarce, so he wouldn't be bald at a young age, right?
Fang Jian looked at the appearance of the child in Yu Cai's arms, and the world difference between the appearance of the child he imagined, and the disgust in his heart was even deeper, thinking that although he Fang Jian was not a peerless beauty, but he was also in the wind, how could he give birth to such an ugly child?
Fang Jian glanced up at Yu Cai, looking at this Yu Cai, he was also good-looking, not like a crooked melon and cracked dates, how could such an ugly person be born! He was a little suspicious that the child in front of him wouldn't be picked up by Yu Cai, right?
"Is this my child?" Fang Jian still asked the question that came to his lips.
Yu Cai looked back and forth at Fang Jian and the child in a panic, "Yes... Yes. ”
Fang Jian really didn't want to continue to watch it, after all, what could he do even if it was his child: so ugly, still a woman, sure enough, one report after another, taking away the opportunity for my son's birth, and the heavens couldn't stand it.
In fact, if Fang Jian asked one more question, he would not be surprised by Fang Mumu's appearance in the future, after all, the children who had just been born had paid a little beautiful price for their birth.
Yu Cai's arm has been holding the child, and it has been hanging in the air for a long time, a little unstable, she is afraid that the child will fall, but she doesn't dare to take her hand back when Fang Jian didn't speak, she can only ask Fang Jian weakly, "Have you finished reading?" ”
Fang Jian glanced up at Yu Cai, his face was even worse than just now, "No! I can't look at the flowers on her face! ”
Yu Cai could only lower her head, squatting down slightly, and moving the child up to the kang as much as possible.
Fang Jian stared at the child again, it seemed that he couldn't distinguish between a man and a woman, thinking about this, he found the usefulness of this child in his disgust, and said with a little satisfaction, "Although it's ugly, remember to pack up and bring it over when you go to participate in someone else's 100 days of wine on a cloudy day." ”
Yu Cai watched Fang Jian's body lean back. Her pounding heart was finally saved, as was her incomparably sore arm, "Okay. ”
On this day, Fang Jian did not go out as usual, but nested in the side room, which was really rare for Yu Cai, so she was basically worried about it this day, afraid that one of her would accidentally cause trouble.
In the afternoon, when she saw Qi Qin standing outside the door and said that she was here to visit the door, Yu Cai's face was full of panic, and it was not to leave her at home to chat, nor to drive her back, so she could only stand at the door with Qi Qin in embarrassment.
"I said Yu Cai, what's wrong with you? Why did you put on a stinky face for me as soon as we met today, because you disliked me for being diligent? I'll tell you, if I hadn't always thought about you and had no one to accompany me, I wouldn't have come over often. Besides, do you think it's close? Do you think it's not hot on this hot day? Qi Qin looked at Yu Cai's zombie face, and felt a little angry in her heart, so she said it in her usual, brisk, and snarky joking tone.
Yu Cai felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't say it, he could only pull out an embarrassed but polite smile, "How dare I?" After speaking, she immediately turned her head and looked in the direction of the house, glad in her heart, fortunately, there was no movement in Fang Jian's house.
Qi Qin looked at Yu Cai's thief-headed and cautious appearance, and almost guessed in her heart the reason why Yu Cai would not treat her like this. She approached Yu Cai and whispered to Yu Cai, "Where is your man?" ”
Yu Cai nodded immediately, answering Qi Qin's question when he suddenly leaned over.
Qi Qin stood up straight after hearing this, "I'll just say, no wonder you don't want to give up, like someone owes you a thousand children." The smile on Qi Qin's face deepened, and Yu Cai didn't know if she was relieved or more resentful.
Before Yu Cai could say, Qi Qin, in order to show that he didn't mind and was quick to talk, continued, "Okay, okay, I know you're afraid of your man." You don't have to look back, I'll show you. Hahaha..."
Hearing Qi Qin's laughter, the smile on Yu Cai's face was as astringent as a raw persimmon, "Sister, why don't you go into the house and talk slowly." ”
Qi Qin, who didn't hold the child today, naturally had her hands free, she quickly poked Yu Cai's forehead with her fingers, only to see Yu Cai's head tilt back slightly, and then returned to its original position, "Yo yo yo, is this a long guts?" Aren't you afraid of your man? I don't see it in your appearance at all! ”
Yu Cai wanted to explain, it was not a question of whether she was brave or not, it was that she weighed it again and again, and really felt that it was necessary to go into the house and say, at least the people who came and went in front of her house would not cast greeting eyes, at least Fang Jian in the side room would not go to the main house for the time being. The more important reason is that Qi Qin doesn't have a door on her mouth, she always has something to say when she speaks to her, if she says something that shouldn't be said, if Fang Jian happens to hear it, then she needs to suffer. "No, I just think that my waist may hurt when you stand and talk."
"Tut-tut, that's it! Your sister and I have a good waist like they have just grown. Don't talk nonsense with you, I'll have to go back to see my son later. I'm here to simply talk to you about the old Yuan family. Qi Qin's eyebrows fluttered, after all, she was the first-hand collector and disseminator of gossip.
"Old Yuan's?" Yu Cai had some doubts, she didn't know that Qi Qin was talking about the old Yuan family, and she really couldn't remember the surnames of these neighbors. The main reason is that she rarely goes out to meet and chat, so she is naturally very unfamiliar with the term 'old Yuan'.
"Hey!" Qi Qin grabbed Yu Cai's arm and pulled her to the door. After pulling to the door, she pointed her finger in the direction where Lao Yuan's house was located, as if she was teaching Yu Cai to recognize relatives, "There, it is the one with the only iron gate, saying that it is going to make a hundred days of wine for the youngest son, and I really don't know how to squander it if I have two money." Saying that, Qi Qin looked back at Yu Cai, "By the way, have you heard?" ”
Yu Cai kept staring in the direction Qi Qin pointed, which seemed to be the home of the man who came to knock on the door in the morning, "Oh, he seems to have cleared us this morning." ”
"What?! Even you..."Qi Qin's second half of the sentence was drowned in Yu Cai's eyes as she looked at her. She actually wanted to say, how blind is that family, why even Fang Jian and Yu Cai are invited, do you think that the normal people in the village are not lively enough, so you have to invite the two of you to make a fuss?
"What's wrong with us?" Yu Cai watched Qi Qin say half of what she said, in fact, she guessed probably, she just wanted to know if Qi Qin would jump over under a pretense, or if she would say it directly as before.
"Hehe... Hehe..."Qi Qin laughed embarrassedly, "You guys are really, you don't know how to tell me." ”
"Oh." Yu Cai smiled in response.
"Let me tell you, it's that old Yuan family..."
"Sister, let's talk while entering the house." Yu Cai interrupted Qi Qin's impromptu performance, pulled her to close the door, and walked inside, she just felt that how could she say right and wrong in such a bright place at the gate, she should avoid the sun, avoid nature, go to the house and let Qi Qin secretly say, she secretly listened, it was the most appropriate.
"Hey, let me tell you, that old Yuan family is not simple, according to hear, the youngest son of his family is Yuan Youliang's illegitimate son outside, and he was brought over not long after he was born. You said that his family has made up a good word with a son and a daughter, why is this man not satisfied! And her woman, who is simply the scum of our women, not only did she not say a word, but she also accepted it happily, and she liked that child very much......" When she said this, Yu Cai and Qi Qin happened to pass by the door of the side room.
In the side room, Fang Jian, who had been standing on the inside of the door, was listening carefully with his ears on the door, and since he heard the knock on the door, he ran down without even having time to put on his shoes, and kept this posture. The front is always intermittent, and what is heard is little by little. But he heard Qi Qin's words clearly just now, and when there was no sound in the courtyard, Fang Jian walked back to the kang barefoot and lay down. "Both children and children are still illegitimate children, it seems that I really went to do the right thing for heaven."
