Chapter Ninety-One: Brother Mu was hacked to death by horse bandits
"Girl, your father didn't come back, your Uncle Wang Gui and your father walked together, can you come back?" Liu Po asked in a panic.
"If my mother can't come back, let's go and see, we can't do nothing, it's dry, Uncle Wang Gui is cutting into the mouth" Kapok replied.
Liu Po also agreed to go to Wang Gui's house with her daughter.
Wang Gui's house is in the east of Taohua Village, and the two of them arrived after a cup of tea.
Kapok stepped forward to check, "Mother, come and see, the door is hidden, will Uncle Wang Gui come back?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Po rekindled her hope, walked over and pushed the door open.
The mother and daughter walked towards the courtyard, and Wang Gui in the house heard the movement and went out to see, and when he saw Grandma Liu's mother and daughter, her eyes lit up, and she was still a little happy in her heart.
"Sister Yun, you're here," Wang Gui shouted, looking excited.
There was a flash of surprise in Kapian's eyes, this Uncle Wang Gui didn't avoid the title of her mother.
"Brother Wang has said it a few times, I have several grandsons, and you still call me Sister Yun when you were young, so that others will hear it. You still follow your brother Mu and call me sister-in-law, listen to it," Liu Po reminded.
Originally, there was no news from her family, but at this time, Wang Gui came back and called her like this, and it was inevitable that she would be heard and gossip.
"Okay, I'll listen to you call your sister-in-law," Wang Gui replied, he didn't want to make Liu Po angry.
"Brother Wang, your brother Mu went to the city with you to work, why are you coming back alone? Why didn't you come back? Liu Po didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
For more than three months, she has been wondering about the whereabouts of her family all the time, and she is going crazy.
Wang Gui's whole body stiffened when he heard this, and his eyes seemed to be dodging, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Uncle Wang, do you know my father's whereabouts? Our family misses him very much, especially since my mother has not heard from my father, she can't eat or sleep well. Uncle Wang, if you know where my father is, tell my mother," Kapok said a few words anxiously.
Wang Gui's body trembled, his expression instantly became lost, his eyes were also very sad, he squirmed his lips a few times, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Liu Po realized that she had a bad idea, and her whole body trembled and asked, "Brother Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it, is there something wrong with your Brother Mu?" It's okay you say, I can hold it."
"Sister-in-law, Brother Mu and I did enter the city together, after entering the city, we met with the employer, this time the mason to be done lives in Anping County, another county, there are a few large families to build a house, find a good mason, the price is also twice as high as in our city.
Brother Mu and I were very moved when I heard it, and Brother Mu said that he was going to go back to his home and told you that he was going to go out to work, and when he came back, he would build a house when he made money.
The employer was in a hurry and agreed to send a letter to the family to explain the matter.
Brother Mu and I agreed to come down, so we didn't have time to go home, and went directly to Anping County in the employer's carriage.
Which Cheng wanted to meet a horse bandit on the road, not to mention robbing the money, but also cutting people, Brother Mu bravely went out to fight with the horse bandit in order to save the people in the car, and was ...... hacked to death," Wang Gui cried out with excitement after speaking.
"How so!" Liu Po's eyes were blankly muttering, and her whole body trembled violently.
She couldn't accept the reality that the old man was hacked to death, and after looking forward to getting such news for so long, her heart was dead, and her thoughts were gone.
Kapok supported her mother, distressed, she heard the news of her father's death, and her heart was no better than her mother.
It's just that her mother still wants her to comfort and take care of her, and she doesn't allow herself to fall.
"Sister-in-law blames me for not protecting my brother, sister-in-law, don't worry, even if my brother is not there, I can take care of you in the future.
Later, the people from the government came, and the horse bandits all ran away in fright, half of them ran away, half of them fell into the net, and a few people were left to help dig the pit and bury the old brother, we continued to follow the employer to Anping County to work, I earned a lot of silver taels, and my sister-in-law gave it all to you, and the old brother was not used by you to supplement the family" Wang Gui said and took out the silver bag from his arms.
The heavy silver bag was all his savings, and he stuffed it into Liu Po's arms.
"Brother Wang, this money is your hard-earned money, how can I ask for it, my sons and daughters are all good, and you can't spend it if you can make money," Liu Po pushed.
No one could understand the grief in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I have made money, I can take you to a big place to see a doctor, find the best doctor to treat your cough, sister-in-law, brother is not there, I can also take care of you" Wang Gui looked at Liu Po's eyes and said in his heart.
After hearing this, Kapok looked at Uncle Wang Gui strangely, Uncle Wang Gui wanted to take advantage of her mother's absence to beat her mother's idea.
She had to wonder if what Uncle Wang Gui said was true or false, and she had to continue to find out about her father's matter.
"No need, my daughter followed Dr. Zhao to learn medical skills, acupuncture cured my old problem, Brother Wang, you still keep the money for you to marry your daughter-in-law, you are not too young, it is not a matter to always be such a person" Liu Po refused again.
It's not that she doesn't understand the meaning of Wang Gui's words, it's just that she can only pretend to be a wooden tiger in her heart.
Wang Gui had angina and his eyes were lonely.
He thought that if Mu Laohu couldn't come back, Yun Mei would be able to accept him, but he didn't expect that he would refuse simply and not leave him with any thoughts.
"Uncle Wang, can you tell me more about where my father is buried? As the saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots, I will go back and talk to my second brother, and ask him to take my father's body back and bury it alive," Kapok asked tentatively.
At the same time, she was also observing Wang Gui's reaction, and sure enough, she saw that there was a dodge in his eyes, and there seemed to be something hidden in it.
"Mu girl, you filial piety, your father must be very pleased to know that you have a spring under the spring, hey! It's all my fault for being bad, and I was also sad at the time, and I didn't remember exactly where your father was buried. Wang Gui looked guilty.
"In this case, my mother is not in a good mood, so I will take her back first," Kapok said and helped her mother out of the yard.
She didn't see Wang Gui's restrained expression, his face was hideous, and something was brewing in her heart.
Yun Mei didn't agree to him, this is not bad enough, she has a son and daughter to rely on.
If they are gone, Yun Mei will have nothing to rely on, and she is not begging him to protect her.
Wang Gui thought about it like this, he was already crazy.
Kapok didn't see his hideous expression, and her heart was full of worries about her mother.
Liu Po was indeed hit hard by this matter, and when she went back, she lost her energy, and seemed to have a serious illness, and she fell ill on the bed.
There was a fever that night, Kapok was worried about her mother's body bones, and she couldn't sleep well at night and came to her mother's house to check.
When she touched Liu Po's forehead, it was very hot, and she was still talking nonsense in her mouth, "Old man, why don't you leave me and leave, you wait, you are most afraid of being alone, I'll go down to accompany you"
