101 is dead or alive
"I want to come...... That's Mr. Liu, right? The old man asked hesitantly as if he didn't know where to come from for a moment.
"Exactly." Heng Yu sighed slightly, and said in confusion: "Miao Niangzi is so good, and now she has such a good son-in-law, why is this Miao family's mother so unable to think about it, and she has to make trouble like this?" If the son is gone, can't the daughter support her in old age? You're going to come and steal this shopβ"
At the mention of Miao's mother, the old man shook his head and said in a very complicated tone: "Because in their eyes, the daughter is an outsider, no, the daughter is not a person at all...... The eyeball-like son is gone, and there are grandchildren...... People who are used to drinking blood, where are they willing to let go of this piece of fat! β
When the old man said this, he slapped the cane in his hand twice, and said anxiously: "Poor Shaoting is a kind-hearted person, and she never wants to think badly about people...... If you have to go back to make amendices to her mother this time, it would be really stupid! β
"But in the eyes of Miao Niangzi, it was her mother after all, and she had just encountered the pain of losing her son." Heng Yu said: "In the end, everything was fine before, where can the mother-daughter relationship be separated cleanly just because of a shop?" β
The old man's expression became more and more anxious: "How can this be a shop......
Heng Yu said: "Maybe it's only like this in the eyes of Miao Niangzi?" In the end, the authorities are fascinated, if there is no bystander to remind them, where is it so good-looking and clear-hearted? β
The old man's expression froze for a moment when he heard this, and his chapped and pale lips moved.
"Old man, it's time to talk, you can take a sip of tea first."
Heng Yu handed the teacup that Shun Shui had just brought to the old man.
She is not in a hurry to continue to push forward, if the human heart is pressed too hard and too fast, it will trigger instinctive rejection due to vigilance, which is not conducive to conversation.
In the end, she is not sure of the whole truth, and she needs to be cautious.
The old man was obviously a little absent-minded, subconsciously took the teacup with both hands, and said two words in succession, "Thank you, girl".
"I once heard Miao Niangzi say that you are now living alone, and you don't know what to do for a living?" Seeing that the old man swallowed two sips of tea slowly, Heng Yucai asked casually again.
"There is a vegetable patch, and some chickens and ducks are raised...... There is Shaoting taking care of her, and life is passable. The old man's eyes were a little moist: "Shaoting also wanted to take me to the city to raise her, but I was afraid that I would drag her down...... We Shaoting are really good boys. β
Hengyu: "People's hearts change hearts, presumably you are also a good elder." β
The old man shook his head, tears in his eyes were even more vibrant, and muttered: "Our family, we can't live with Shaoting......"
"Hey, our shopkeeper is indeed miserable." Brother Shunshui was wiping the table and chairs beside him, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"No, Shaoting is not a hard life...... the old man shook his head with tears: "This is not life, it is the evil of people's hearts......"
Seeing that her whole body was trembling slightly, Hengyu gently took the tea cup in her hand and handed over the handkerchief.
The old man couldn't care about refusing in fear anymore, wiping his tears tremblingly, but the more difficult it was to suppress his emotions.
I have been living alone for a long time, and at this time, in the face of such an amiable junior, I inevitably feel sad in my heart: "If my grandson is still here, there should be a doll to call me a great-grandmother...... The son and daughter-in-law also went early, and the two of them, who went to work in the winter, drowned in the glacier like this......"
After speaking, there was some self-deprecation in his teary eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Cause and effect...... That's cause and effect. β
Hengyu didn't understand, kept quiet and kept silent, and only let the old man murmur.
"When I'm this age, I should have gone with them...... But in my heart, there are two things that I can't let go...... Maybe it's because the sin hasn't been redeemed, and even the Buddha won't accept it......"
When the old man raised his hand to wipe his tears, Heng Yu saw a string of polished wooden Buddha beads wrapped around her thin wrist.
It's a Buddhist believer.
She opened her mouth and asked softly: "There are two things that the old man can't let go, one of them is Miao Niangzi, right?" β
The old man nodded tearfully: "Fortunately, Shaoting now has a good home......
Heng Yu said: "The so-called good fate can't offset the suffering suffered before-"
The old man looked up at her with some trepidation.
Looking at each other, Heng Yu said slowly: "Only the word truth can give those sufferings a due explanation." There shouldn't be anyone in the world who has suffered all the grievances and hardships, but they don't even have the right to know the truth, and they have to live this life with a notoriety that can never be washed away, right? β
The old man looked at the girl in front of him, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.
These eyes were telling her...... This little girl must already know something!
"The other thing that reassures you is your grandson's situation, right?" The girl's voice was calm and determined.
The old man's eyes shook violently when he heard this.
Really......
Sure enough, they all know!
"Evading military service certainly triggers the law, and the punishment of exile should be punished according to the law, but when the King of Jin was in charge of Yingzhou, the conscription order was indeed too harsh, if you are willing to take the initiative to confess, you may be punished lightly, and there is still room for maneuverββ"
Heng Yu's voice was not serious: "But if you blindly refuse to confess, then it will be another matter." β
The old man's hand trembled, and his crutches hit the ground.
"Say it at this time, perhaps, I can help you." The girl's voice was not deliberately induced, and her eyes were calm and persuasive.
This sentence is like the last drop of water, penetrating the boulder that has been pressed in the old man's heart all the year round.
"Plopβ"
The old man trembled and knelt down towards Hengyu.
"All the mistakes are the fault of our Wang family, even if I am told to die to atone for Shaoting's sins......"
The old man slammed his head on the ground, his emotions were like a flood bursting the embankment, and he couldn't cry: "I can see that you are a good person, girl, and you are so powerful...... Please help me find my grandson! Whether it is dead or alive, there must be a whereabouts! β
Heng Yu's eyebrows moved slightly.
The implication of this is......
She raised her hand to help the old man: "You get up first, and slowly explain to me what happened-"
β¦β¦
"What are you doing when you come back!"
The sallow Miao mother stood outside the door of the hall, her eyes sunken by her rapid weight loss were full of anger, and her voice was also hoarse: "You still have the face to come back!" β
Miao Niangzi stood in the courtyard and replied sarcastically: "Everything that happened outside the shop that day, which is right and wrong, everyone sees it." The faceless person shouldn't be me, it's my mother. β
This sentence ignited the fire.
"You slut...... Are you intent on coming back and me to death? β
"I'm about to do it, so I won't provoke such bad luck." Miao Niangzi said and walked forward: "I'm just here to take my things." β
The four have not yet been mourned, and the word bad luck deeply annoyed Miao's mother.
She stretched out her hand to push the Miao lady who came away, and asked sharply: "What do you want to rob again!" Didn't you snatch enough! β
Miao Niangzi dodged her hand, she threw herself into the air, and almost fell to the ground.
At this time, a figure hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard and sighed urgently: "What is this, what is this doing!" β
Miao Niangzi sneered silently.
It just so happened that everything that should have come came.
Good night everyone~
