The human mind will always grasp some trivial things, and then little by little they will unfold in their imagination, and finally the mind will intimidate itself with a huge monster and say that this is the consequence.

Yu Cai sat back on the kitchen stool angrily, looking at the noodles that had been dry and the edges and had their own shape, she couldn't help but be impatient in her heart, and she kept asking herself why Fang Mumu hadn't come back.

When she heard the sound of the door opening, Yu Cai's nerves tensed, she was afraid that Fang Jian would come back before Fang Mumu, she didn't dare to move and listened to the movement outside, when she heard that the footsteps were Fang Mumu's, her heart that was originally hanging because of worry slowly put down. It's just that the heart hasn't completely fallen, but because of the spontaneous anger, it has risen to his throat again.

Yu Cai stood up, walked to the door of the kitchen, and looked down at Fang Mumu with a straight face.

It was the first time Fang Mumu saw her mother's serious expression, and she thought to herself, something must have happened. She didn't know what to do, so she thought of laughing, and the corners of her mouth grinned towards the base of her ear, "Mom, I'm back." ”

"Where did you go?" Yu Cai's tone was very cold.

The smile on Fang Mumu's face froze, she put away her smile weakly, lowered her head, "Go out and play with my brother." ”

Yu Cai naturally knew who Fang Mumu's brother was, and she also knew that Fang Mumu could only play with Yuan Chengle, but her brain was still bewitched by the gossip in Qi Qin's mouth, in addition to playing, she needed to know more details, "Where did you go to play?" Why are you coming back so late? ”

Fang Mumu didn't dare to say that he went to the mountain, firstly because it was her and Yuan Chengle's secret base, and secondly because her mother had said not to go too far, that mountain was too far away in her mother's eyes. Her head hung lower, and she couldn't find any words to answer in response to Yu Cai, so she chose not to speak.

"I'm asking you!" Yu Cai raised his voice.

Fang Mumu was frightened by Yu Cai's loud words, and she saw that she couldn't hide, so she could only whisper timidly, "I'm going to the mountains." ”

"What?! Be louder, you can't hear it! Yu Cai's voice grew louder and louder.

Frightened, Fang Mumu's legs were paralyzed and sat on the ground, and when Fang Mumu reacted that she was on the ground, she quickly knelt up and hugged Yu Cai's legs, "Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong." ”

Although Fang Mumu is eight and a half years old, because she was weaned too early and her nutrition did not keep up, she grew younger than children of the same age.

Yu Cai watched the thin Fang Mumu kneel beside his lap and admit his mistake, obviously tears were rolling in his eyes, but Fang Mumu's eyes were stubbornly wide and did not let the tears flow out, because Fang Mumu had realized that he was wrong.

In this way, Fang Mumu, who can observe words and colors, makes Yu Cai feel very distressed when he sees it. Her tough attitude suddenly softened, and she picked up Fang Mumu and carried Fang Mumu into the kitchen.

Fang Mumu, who was placed on a small stool by Yu Cai, didn't dare to look up at her mother, because she knew that she was indeed late to come back today, which made her mother worried. Her two little hands were entangled.

"Let's eat first." Yu Cai said, picked up a bowl of noodles that had been lumped and ate it in a big gulp, she couldn't taste whether the noodles she made today were light or salty.

Fang Mumu's entangled little hands finally parted, and in the silent kitchen, she silently chewed the already hard noodles in the corners.

After the mother and daughter finished eating, they sat quietly opposite each other, and neither of them spoke first.

The moon slowly crept into the middle of the night sky, like a good deed, openly peeping at all the lights on.

Fang Mumu gradually realized that if she didn't say something, she and her mother might have to sit like this until dawn, and she would be fine, but her mother would have to work hard tomorrow morning.

Just as Fang Mumu was about to speak, the sound of the door being opened was the first to break the silence between her and Yu Cai.

"Clean up, and when your dad enters the house, you go back to the side room and wait for me." After Yu Cai lightly instructed Fang Mumu, he stood up and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. If the lights were brighter, maybe Fang Mumu could see Yu Cai's slightly trembling hands, because she hadn't forgotten Fang Jian, who kicked the door last night.

Yu Cai's voice of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks was very soft, she was cleaning up, listening to Fang Jian's movements, listening to Fang Jian's footsteps and walking towards the main house, her heart relaxed, she thought that tonight would be spent so peacefully.

It's just that fate doesn't seem to take much care of Yu Cai, here she just started to clean up the kitchen with peace of mind, and Fang Jian's voice came from there, she quickly dropped the rag in her hand, and rushed to the side room in three steps.

"Say, what are you doing with that kid from the Yuan family?" Fang Jian looked at Fang Mumu condescendingly.

Fang Mumu was kicked to the ground by Fang Jian, her smiling face contrasted with her trembling body, "I didn't do anything." Fang Mumu's voice was not loud, and the vibrato was even smaller.

Fang Jian lifted a foot and kicked towards Fang Mumu, Yu Cai, who had just arrived at the door, saw this situation, and rushed over and hugged Fang Mumu without having time to think about anything, she seemed to be able to hear the sound of her back bones hypocritically saying that she was about to break, she was glad that this kick was on herself, she didn't dare to imagine what Fang Mumu would become if this kick was on Fang Mumu's thin body.

"You get out of here!" Fang Jian was even more angry when he saw that he didn't kick Fang Mumu with one kick, he reached out and grabbed the clothes behind Yu Cai's back, wanting to pull Yu Cai away from Fang Mumu's body.

After all, Yu Cai is now also a person who works in the field with a hoe all day long, and her strength is naturally much greater than before, she protects Fang Mumu to the death, and allows her clothes to be torn by Fang Jian.

Fang Jian couldn't let go of the rest of the food, and walked back and forth angrily, "Look at the good girls you taught yourself, they are all about to run away with people!" ”

Yu Cai heard from Fang Jian's words that the fuse that caused Fang Jian's behavior last night and at this moment was the rumor that Qi Qin had come to tell her that her daughter and Yuan Chengle went to the mountains every day.

Yu Cai, who heard the rumors, was also very angry, but she was angry that Fang Mumu and Yuan Chengle ran so far to play, what if they encountered danger. But she didn't understand Fang Jian's anger and the surprise of those rumor spreaders, she especially wanted to ask how the two eight-year-old children could get into a fight when they played together, and whether these people's thoughts could be more dirty.

Although Yu Cai felt that she could not understand the thoughts of those people ideologically, she did not open her mouth to refute it. Over the years of marrying Fang Jian, Yu Cai learned to keep his mouth shut the most, especially when Fang Jian committed atrocities. If she said one more word, that one word might have caused a more ferocious beating.

"If you don't learn well every day, you will know that this kind of moth will be produced for me!" Fang Jian paced back and forth while pointing at Yu Cai and Fang Mumu, and when he was talking about Fang Mumu, Fang Jian suddenly remembered what he heard outside the teahouse last night, he stood still and walked towards Yu Cai, without saying a word, he kicked Yu Cai's back again, "And you, are you also disobedient?" Did you go behind my back to steal a man? That's why you taught such a girl? ”

Yu Cai had no time to feel the pain in her back, she was so shocked that her eyes widened because she heard Fang Jian's words, she slowly turned around and protected Fang Mumu behind her back, the tears in her eyes wanted to tell her innocence, stealing a man? Since she started to go out to farm in the past few years, she has done her duty, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, except for the field and the commissary, she hasn't even taken half a step out of the place a little farther away, how could Fang Jian wronged her so much.

Yu Cai still didn't speak, but raised his eyes to look at Fang Jian for the first time, there was no evasion or dodging in his eyes, some were just frank.

Fang Jian looked at Yu Cai's reaction and understood that he didn't ask about nonsense, and he was at his own fault, but now that his words had been spoken, it was not easy to take it back, and it was not easy to turn his head and walk away, so he pointed the finger at Fang Mumu again, he quickly reached over Yu Cai's shoulder and grabbed Fang Mumu's hair, and lifted her up with Fang Mumu's hair.

Yu Cai was so anxious that he could only stop his waist and hug Fang Mumu, wanting Fang Mumu to reduce some pain.

"Say, what the hell are you doing with that kid surnamed Yuan?!" Fang Jian grabbed Fang Mumu's hair and forcibly pulled her face out to face him.

"I said, I said, I said..." Tears had already drowned Fang Mumu's face.

After all, Fang Mumu has grown up, no matter how heavy it is, there are dozens of catties, although there is more than enough to support, but it still takes Fang Jian's strength to mention Fang Mumu. Fang Jian saw that Fang Mumu had spoken, so he quickly shook off Fang Mumu's hair that he was holding in his hand, moved a stool and sat in front of Yu Cai's mother and daughter, he gasped, "Say!" ”

Yu Cai sat on the ground with Fang Mumu in her arms, her back leaned against the edge of the kang, the pain in her body seemed to have been supported and reduced a lot, she also gasped, looking at Fang Mumu in her arms.

"Brother, teach me something to school." Fang Mumu said while sobbing in Yu Cai's arms.

"You still have a face?!" Fang Jian was angry after hearing this, Fang Mumu's school incident had caused him to lose face, and now she dared to study secretly.

Fang Jian held his knees with both hands and was about to stand up, Yu Cai hugged Fang Mumu for the first time, and only when Fang Jian took a step forward, she used her body to protect Fang Mumu's posture again.

Fang Jian had no choice but to sit on the stool again, he didn't know what else he could say. Through these days, he also learned that the school-age children in the village basically went to school, but Fang Mumu did not go to school, and he wondered whether to send Fang Mumu to school as well. Immediately, he regretted that he had this thought, and the demon in his body cried out: She is a dog thing that has taken the lead, and you have no son, why do you want her to go to school.

Fang Jian and Yu Cai's mother and daughter were in a stalemate face to face, and the stalemate lasted for a long time, so long that he calmed down his panting.

Not long after that, Fang Jian no longer had a stalemate with Yu Cai's mother and daughter, but stood up, took the lead in leaving the side room, and went back to the main house.

After all, he is almost forty, and he doesn't have the energy to beat people before, even if it is just that little action, he already feels tired. He decided to renounce the atrocities because he wanted to retain the majesty that he looked able to fight.

After Fang Jian left, Yu Cai hugged Fang Mumu tightly, her tears wet Fang Mumu's clothes, "I'm sorry, mom doesn't know, mom thought you went to play." ”

Fang Mumu stood up from Yu Cai's arms, helped Yu Cai from the ground to the old kang, she gently stroked Yu Cai's back with her little hands, "Mu Mu blows, mother doesn't hurt." As she spoke, her little mouth was already close to Yu Cai's back and began to blow.

"In the future, you don't have to learn secretly, you can learn in a bright way." Yu Cai said to Fang Mumu, who was about to stick to his back.
