Chapter 18: Huaijia Village

"Mumu, what are you doing here?" Yu Cai hurriedly returned to the side room, and saw Fang Mumu, who was usually sitting, holding a bag in his arms at the moment, and filling the bag with his own clothes.

"Go home." Fang Mumu didn't lift his head and responded to Yu Cai.

"What a home! This is your home! Yu Cai hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the bag in Fang Mumu's arms and the clothes in his hand, "What is that woman Qi Qin, you haven't seen it since you were a child, and you can't be angry with such a person." ”

"Mom, I'm already married." Fang Mumu grabbed the bag and clothes that were snatched away by Yu Cai, "The daughter who got married, the water that was spilled, I have to go back." ”

"What can you do when you go back?" Yu Cai pulled the bag and clothes with one hand, and Fang Mumu's arm with the other, and pulled her to the kang, "What you have to do now is to lie down on the kang well, and then take care of your body." ”

These days, under Yu Cai's care, although Fang Mumu's body has improved, she is still so thin that it makes people feel distressed, plus she only has one hand to use, her current strength has no way to compete with Yu Cai, so she can only let Yu Cai pull her to the kang.

"Mom, I'm already fine, I'm the daughter-in-law of the Huai family, it's time for me to go back." Fang Mumu sat on the kang, let go of the bag and clothes he was holding in his hand, and then grabbed Yu Cai's arm tightly.

Yu Cai, who was half-bent over, stopped to take off Fang Mumu's shoes, slowly raised her head to look at Fang Mumu at her side, her lips opened and closed, back and forth several times, and finally she took a deep breath and lowered her head.

"Hello or not, it doesn't matter if you say it, I'm your mother, I only count if I say it."

Yu Cai quickly took off the shoes on Fang Mumu's feet, and after lifting Fang Mumu's feet on the kang, she also took off her shoes, followed the kang, and detained Fang Mumu in the quilt, coaxing Fang Mumu like a half-old child to sleep.

From the beginning of the afternoon to the next morning, except for going out to the toilet twice, Yu Cai never left Fang Mumu for a moment the rest of the time, and always accompanied her by her side, this kind of companionship was more like watching.

Fang Mumu accepted her mother's company very calmly on the surface, and did not show anything unusual, but the abacus in her heart had already begun, just waiting for the day when her mother took off her guard.

Originally, Yu Cai thought that Fang Mumu would definitely mention the matter of returning to her mother-in-law's house again, she was ready to look at Fang Mumu like this for a long time, but the next day Fang Mumu's state made her feel that she had prepared in vain. Fang Mumu didn't cry or make trouble, and he didn't insist on going back to his mother-in-law's house, the state of the whole person was the same as the state when he was cultivating a few days ago, coaxing to eat when eating, walking while coaxing to walk, and sleeping when coaxing to sleep.

Even so, Yu Cai still observed suspiciously for two days, and saw that Fang Mumu's state had been very stable, so he dared to put his mind at ease, and Fang Mumu's care was no longer so tightly guarded.

Unknowingly, Fang Mumu had been cultivating in his mother's house for more than half a month, and the rumors outside the door became more and more fierce, but Yu Cai protected Fang Mumu very well, and those irrelevant people didn't even let them stay at the gate for long.

On this day, Yu Cai was ready to go out to run errands. Before going out, she went into the side room to look at Fang Mumu, saw that Fang Mumu was asleep, didn't say anything, closed the door gently, and left the house.

Fang Mumu, who was lying on the kang with her eyes closed, listened to her mother's footsteps slowly getting smaller from the door, until her mother's footsteps were inaudible, and the sound of the door opening and closing came to her ears, she opened her eyes and slowly sat up from the kang.

Fang Mumu didn't get off the kang in a hurry, but sat on the kang and listened to the movement in the yard for a while, and when she saw that there was no sound, she quickly got off the kang to put on her shoes and look for clothes. Halfway through the search, she stopped thinking for a while, but instead of looking for the clothes, she found a scarf from the cupboard and put it around her head, took out the money she had secretly saved from her mother from the pocket of a red coat, and went out.

Autumn scarves should have been a normal thing, but I don't know why, Fang Mumu can always feel the strange eyes of the people around her, and every time she arrives, she will gather the scarf, for fear that her face will be seen.

"Master, give me a ticket."

After the conductor raised his eyes and took a closer look at Fang Mumu, he raised his eyebrows and asked disdainfully, "Where are you going?" ”

"Huaijia Village."

"A piece of five."

Fang Mumu took out two coins from her pocket, which happened to be two pieces of money, and she handed the money to the conductor.

The conductor smacked his lips, spat at his thumb, counted the two dollars three or four times before putting them away, took out a five-cent one from his pocket, then tore a ticket and handed it to Fang Mumu.

After Fang Mumu took the change of five cents and the ticket in his hand, he got on the train directly, found a seat in the back and sat down, and waited for the train to leave.

Fang Mumu regretted that she had chosen such a back seat, her back was being uncomfortably sunburned by the sun that was about to send autumn tiger power. She wanted to change to another seat, but when she looked up, the car that had just been empty was basically full of people at the moment, and she had no choice but to endure it.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, and the car started after a while, and the wind blowing in from the window just relieved Fang Mumu's discomfort.

Fang Mumu grabbed the scarf around his head to prevent the wind from blowing it down. She looked out the car window, she was not familiar with this road, she passed by once when she got married, twice when she returned to the door, and once when she was brought back by her parents, but she did not pay attention to the scene on this road once these four times.

Harvested crops could be seen on both sides of the road, and in the distance, there was a sense of desolation. Perhaps it was this desolation that made Fang Mumu appreciate all the way.

"Huaijia Village has arrived!" The conductor shouted the words that he didn't know how many times he repeated, "There is someone who has arrived in Huaijia Village, and I got off in front!" There is a trip to Huaijia Village, get off in front! ”

Fang Mumu came back to his senses, got up from his seat, walked to the door of the car and waited for the station.

The driver's brake is a declaration of arrival. Fang Mumu hugged the iron rod at the door of the car, followed everyone in the car to do inertial movement, and after the inertia was over, she was the first to get out of the car.

Yin Yin had only been away for more than 20 days, but the Huaijia Village in front of her made Fang Mumu feel a little strange, she stood on the side of the road and looked into the distance for a while, and then followed the route in her memory to her mother-in-law's house.

Fang Mumu always glanced up in the direction, then walked with his head down for a while, holding the scarf in one hand to make sure that the scarf covered himself tightly enough.

When he felt the sticky sweat on his back coming out of his body, Fang Mumu finally walked to his in-law's house. She put her scarf around her neck, patted her clothes, brushed her hair, and knocked on the door twice.

There was no response or footsteps in the courtyard, and Fang Mumu thought that maybe he knocked too lightly, and the people inside didn't hear it. So, she knocked the door again.

"Who?" Xia Yun came out of the house and asked at the gate as he walked towards the door.

Fang Mumu wanted to answer, but he didn't know how to answer, after all, it was his mother-in-law who opened the door who didn't want to see him, and if he didn't answer well, his mother-in-law might not even open the door.

"Who?" Xia Yun walked to the door, and asked again as he opened the door.

"Me." Fang Mumu replied in a low voice after seeing his mother-in-law open the door.

Xia Yun saw that it was Fang Mumu, and his face instantly became ugly, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm the daughter-in-law of the old Huai family, and I'm back." Fang Mumu looked at his mother-in-law timidly, and slowly moved to the door with small broken steps.

"Our old Huai family even cursed their son by you, what else do you want your daughter-in-law to do? Curse our whole family? Xia Yun glared at the beads of his eyes and pointed at Fang Mumu's nose fiercely and said.

"Mom, I will be filial to you in the future." As he spoke, Fang Mumu slowly stepped into the threshold with one foot.

"Don't come near me!" When Xia Yun saw Fang Mumu coming to him, he took a step back and waved his hand at Fang Mumu in disgust, "Our old Huai family doesn't need you to be filial!" Get back in here! ”

"Mom, I'm fine, you see I'm okay!" Fang Mumu pointed his finger up and down his body, "I will be filial to you and my father for Youcai." ”

"Don't call me Mom! I can't afford it! Xia Yun made a stop gesture, "Besides, our old Huai family has retired you early, and you are not the daughter-in-law of our old Huai family now, you don't have to think about filial piety to us for my dead son!" We don't need to! I can't stand it! ”

"Hughed?" Fang Mumu frowned, his face dazed, "Why don't I know?" ”

"When your parents came that night, our two families agreed on it." Xia Yun grabbed the door and prepared to close it, "So, you hurry back to your house, don't curse our house here!" ”

"Nope! I disagree! Fang Mumu pushed the door with his hand, and stood in the threshold with both feet, "I am a talented daughter-in-law!" Only he can divorce me! Why do you decide for him? ”

"My sons are dead!" Xia Yun wanted to send Fang Mumu hastily, but who would have thought that Fang Mumu would actually move out of her son, and her pain of losing her son suddenly came up again, "What else do you want?" I will dig up my son's grave, and lay his bones before you, and say that I will leave you? ”

"I didn't mean that." Xia Yun's sudden increase in decibels made Fang Mumu instantly lower his head, and he could only explain in a whisper.

"What's the fuss?" Huai Feiyin came back from outside, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he saw Fang Mumu and Xia Yun, he heard Xia Yun's voice, and glanced at Xia Yun with some dissatisfaction.

"Dad, I will be filial to you for your talents." Fang Mumu heard his father-in-law's voice, as if he heard hope, and turned around and knelt in front of his father-in-law.

"What are you doing here?" Huai Feiyin was so frightened by Fang Mumu's move that he took two steps back, and when he reacted, he hurriedly went up, bent over, and said to Fang Mumu in a low voice, "Outside this gate, everyone is watching, you hurry up." ”

"Dad, except for filial piety to you, I have nothing to do for Youcai, you must agree." Fang Mumu didn't get up.

"We don't need to!" Xia Yun shouted behind Fang Mumu's back.

Huai Feiyin frowned, looked up at Xia Yun, Xia Yun stomped his feet in anger, didn't say anything, and went back to the house.

"It's also for your good to let you go back to your parents' house, after all, you are still young, and it is not worth spending your life in our family. That's all I can do, if you want to kneel, keep kneeling, I won't stop you. When you're tired of kneeling, go back. After Huai Feiyin finished speaking, he didn't look at Fang Mumu again, nor did he go home, but turned around and left.

"I don't want you to do it for my good..."Fang Mumu knelt on the ground and muttered quietly.

As the sun set, Huai Feiyin came with Yu Cai and Fang Jian, Yu Cai ran to Fang Mumu and patted Fang Mumu, "Why are you disobedient kids?" ”

Fang Jian nodded and said sorry and thanks to Huai Feiyin, then squatted down, picked up Fang Mumu, and left the door of Huai Feiyin's house.

Fang Mumu could hear the sound of his father's back molars grinding angrily, and the sound of his mother choking while trotting beside her, but she didn't have the slightest anger in her whole body.
