She Fei couldn't bear to be angry, so he put this matter behind him, thinking about his fruit with all his heart. I still have luck in my heart, and I will return it when my aunt's foot injury is healed.

After all, a horse of four hundred taels of silver is not meant to be sent.

I waited for two days like a year, but I didn't see the fruit come back. She Fei couldn't bear it, and led Xianglian to find the Zhu family by herself. Anyway, the two are not too far away.

The mother of the Zhu family, that is, the mother of Zhu Hongyan and Zhu Qingyan, since the death of her husband, her physical condition has plummeted, and she has built a Buddhist hall in the corner of the house, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, ignoring the world. The sisters' persuasion was useless, so they could only go with her.

Now that Zhu Qingyan is in charge of the house, relying on some of the family business left by his father, he is struggling to support it, and he is stumbling on the marriage, which can be regarded as a confused future. Therefore, in her vision, her brother-in-law She Jingchun is the best choice and reliance.

At this time, she was pondering her thoughts in the hall, but She Feiren rushed in in front of the people who reported it: "Auntie, where is my fruit?" ”

This is Zhu Qingyan's own home, so he doesn't have to worry about anything. She flatly denied: "What fruit? ”

"My pony, did you ride it back?"

"Yes, I've ridden back, but I've already returned it to your father."

"I haven't seen it."

"Then I don't know. It is not known whether the brother-in-law sold it or gave it away. ”

Zhu Qingyan lowered his eyes, fiddling with the sachet in his hand, and the corners of his lips pursed deeply. She Fei couldn't bear to look at her, and always felt that she had never told the truth.

Since he didn't believe it, he couldn't come in vain. He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, after all, this was also his grandmother's home, he stood at the door of the house and shouted at Zhu Qingyan: "I don't believe it, I want to search." ”

"Search?" Zhu Qingyan's eyes widened, what did he do in She Mansion, why did he come to the Zhu family to be the master? When she Zhu Qingyan died, didn't she?

"Yes!"

She Fei couldn't help but throw down a sentence, and swaggered around the house with Xianglian.

Anger swirled in Zhu Qingyan's heart, she wanted to chase it out, but there was still a faint pain in her ankle. This pain is also due to She Fei's forbearance. New hatred and old hatred, new accounts and old accounts, all condensed into Zhu Qingyan's hatred and hatred: "Wait and see!" ”

The Zhu family has sent a lot of servants, and only a few necessary ones have been left, but they are often understaffed, and they don't even have a gatekeeper. At this time, there was also a servant girl Su Mei in the house, and Zhu Qingyan called her: "You go and follow She Xiaogongzi, if there is anything out of line, you can stop him." Don't be afraid, I've got your back. ”

"Yes." Su Mei should go out of the house. She grew up in the Zhu family, and she also served Zhu Hongyan in the past, and now she is nearly thirty years old, and she has long broken off the idea of getting married, and she just wants to continue in the Zhu family in peace.

She Feiren walked around the house, and when he saw that the door was open, he also went in to take a look.

When he reached the backyard, the stables were empty, with only old mangers and dilapidated shelves, weeds wafting and the air dusty. She Feiren's eyes rolled a few times, and there was no fruit here. Could it be true that I returned my father? He withdrew with some disappointment. If he had returned it to his father, but his father had never brought it back to She's house, most of them were sold or given away as Zhu Qingyan said.

He looked unwillingly from side to side, and not far away, there was a dark wooden house.

The house had not been built for too long, the dark wooden walls were out of place with the surroundings, and the doors were ajar, and smoke was wafting out of it.

He remembered that this was the Buddhist hall where his grandmother recited scriptures, and Zhu Hongyan had taken him in.

Why don't you ask your grandmother.

The Buddha hall is not big, as soon as you enter the door, in front of the door is a half-person high statue of Guanyin, there is an incense burner in front of the statue, there are several sandalwood sticks inserted in the incense burner, the smoke slowly swirls, rises to the roof that is not too high, and is forced to turn a corner, overflow out of the door along the roof.

On the futon in the center of the room sat Zhu Mu, with a thin and small back, her head slightly bowed, and her hair was gray.

"Grandmother, have you ever seen my fruit?"

She Fei couldn't help but open her crisp throat, waiting for her grandmother to turn around with a smile. But my grandmother didn't know whether she was asleep or settled, and sat motionless on the futon.

He called out again: "Grandmother? ”

Zhu's mother still ignored him.

What about a fight with him? She Fei couldn't bear to feel a little unhappy, and patted Zhu's mother on the shoulder from behind, but Zhu's mother seemed to be iron-hearted and ignored him.

Excessively!

She Fei couldn't help but be upset and pushed her hard.

The grandmother in front of her fell straight to the side, her temples slamming against the stone floor. At first, I was afraid that the incense ash would fall on the ground and cause a fire, so I deliberately abandoned the wooden floor and replaced it with a slate floor.

"Ahh

She Feiren was still flustered, and Xianglian and Su Mei had already screamed.

"Madame!" Su Mei pounced on it to check, and her fingers tried it under Zhu Mu's nose, but she was out of breath. Immediately burst into tears.

She Feiren looked down at his palm, in the center of his palm, there was a thick palm pattern, separating the palm in half. Was my grandmother "beaten" to death by herself?

He touched his palm print and bowed his head silently, and a wave of guilt rose in his heart. Suddenly, his body was pushed hard, and the whole person was pushed away. One side of his face slammed against the wall, as if he had been slapped, first numb, then painful, and the corners of his forehead were also smacked, and the pain was not light.

Xianglian was originally squatting beside Zhu's mother, and when she saw him being pushed down, she hurriedly called "Little Boy" to pounce.

The person who pushed him rushed to Zhu's mother's side and let out a sad voice: "Mother! Mother! ”

It turned out that Zhu Qingyan was not at ease, and followed with a cane, but unexpectedly heard Su Mei's cry in the Buddhist hall, as if something had happened to her mother, and in a hurry, she threw away the crutches, and forgot about the pain in her feet. She Feiren, who was pestled in front of her, became a dog blocking the way, she didn't want to get rid of him, she was also resentful of him, and she didn't know how serious it was.

There was a mess in the Buddhist hall.

Zhu Qingyan and Su Mei cried to Zhu's mother who was lying on the ground, Xianglian cried to She Fei who fell to the side, and She Fei couldn't help crying in pain.

Crying and crying, She Fei couldn't bear to think about it, ran out of the door, picked up the crutches thrown by Zhu Qingyan, rushed into the house and hit her who was crying.

There was a burst of screams and obstructions, and Zhu's mother's body was heavily trampled several times in their melee, leaving a few dirty footprints on her skirt. Zhu Qingyan, who was finally stopped, saw that her mother was dead and was going to be stepped on, so she screamed and cried even more sadly.

In the crying, She Feiren was half-hugged and half-stopped by Xianglian and taken away.

Zhu Qingyan, who was angry and grieving, rushed to the door of the Buddha hall and cried at She Fei, who was far away, and shouted: "Stinky boy, you wait, one day I will make you unable to cry!" ”

-------

In She's house, Zhu Hongyan was talking to a matchmaker. Zhu's mother doesn't care about anything, she always has to worry about her sister Zhu Qingyan's marriage. The few people brought by the matchmaker are not high, and Zhu Qingyan must be dissatisfied.

was in trouble, but saw Xianglian hurriedly walking in with She Feiren in tow.

She Fei couldn't help crying so much, half of her face was red and swollen, so shocked that Zhu Hongyan forgot the matchmaker beside her, threw down the tea bowl in her hand and pounced: "Fei Fei, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Mother, aunt beat me!"

"Why did your aunt beat you?"

"She hit me! Mother, my aunt beat me, you beat her to death, and don't let her into our house again! Wow--"

Zhu Hongyan didn't dare to touch his son's face, for fear of touching him, and seeing him crying so miserably, he was so anxious that his tears fell: "Don't cry, don't cry, be good, mother will give you medicine." ”

Xianglian didn't have a chance to speak on the side, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

Zhu Hongyan raised her head and shouted at her: "Don't go get the medicine yet!" ”

"Yes." She forgot to inform her mistress of the news of Zhu's mother's death, and hurriedly went to find medicine for the wound.

Zhu Hongyan was angry, she thought about her sister everywhere, but she beat her baby son so hard. What's more, Fei Ren is still just a child, even if he willfully collides with her, can she be so scheming with him?

Isn't her slapping She Feiren's face equivalent to slapping her vermilion face?

Her sister is easy to talk to, so should she be a bully?

When Xianglian took She Feiren away and applied the medicine, Zhu Hongyan stomped her foot and rushed straight to Zhu's house angrily. Over the years, she has tried her best to be a virtuous and virtuous Mrs. She, who is kind and humble everywhere, so that people can't find her faults, isn't it also for the Zhu family to have the last good façade, and not for Zhu Qingyan to be useless when choosing a son-in-law in the future?

It's good, Ma is good at being ridden, people are good at being bullied, and even this sister is not grateful!

-----------

In Zhu's house, the subordinates were sent out to buy coffins, and those who bought shrouds bought shrouds. These Zhu Qingyan had never prepared early, but she felt that her mother was not very old, and she still had a few days to live. At the moment, she was in a hurry, Su Mei said that she saw She Xiaogongzi pushing her mother down, but I don't know if it was because of this reason that her husband died.

Whether it is this reason or not, since She Fei can't bear to push it, he can't get rid of the guilt. She complained in her heart, complaining that her sister had used this nephew to be lawless, and she had even affected her mother.

She sat in the hall, angry and wiping away tears.

Because she was angry in her heart, she deliberately did not arrange for someone to notify Zhu Hongyan. Thinking that Xianglian was always going to bring the news back, she didn't want Xianglian to be in a hurry, so she forgot about it, and when she remembered, Zhu Hongyan, who didn't know, had already rushed to Zhu's house.

Zhu Hongyan picked up the shelf of being a sister at this time, and slapped Zhu Qingyan on the head without asking any questions, and blamed loudly in his mouth: "How did you be an aunt!" If you can't bear to be so small, what did you beat him into! ”

Zhu Qingyan was beaten so that his body was crooked, and it was even more inexplicable.

Yes, She Feiren was pushed by her and beaten by her a few times, but now that her mother is dead, her sister ignores it, and only cares about her son's injury, not to mention that she didn't beat it! She Fei couldn't bear to push her mother, and hit her with a cane to cover her face, why didn't my sister say a word?

In my sister's heart, there is only her precious son! Mother, sister, it's nothing!

The tears were not yet gone, and they poured out layer by layer. Sadness and anger rushed through her head like a tidal wave, and she jumped up and screamed without words: "Yes, I beat it, how's that?" I'll just hit him, and I'll see that he doesn't like it, how about it? You hit me! You hit me! ”

"You think I won't dare hit you?"

Zhu Hongyan was angry, lost his mind, and shook his hand, "Smack!" Crisp and loud. Five red fingerprints suddenly appeared on Zhu Qingyan's face.

The sisters each paused for a moment.

Zhu Qingyan was about to have a seizure, and Caiyue, who was following behind, saw that the situation was not good, so she stopped in the middle and pushed Zhu Hongyan out: "Madam, go back quickly, the little boy will be looking for you in a while." ”

Speaking of her son, Zhu Hongyan was a little sober, and she was a little flustered for a while, and she was pushed out of the Zhu house.

Hey, why did you really hit her?

Zhu Hongyan was annoyed in her heart, she looked at the hand that hit her sister all the way, thinking that she couldn't get over it in her heart, she hit it several times with her other hand hatefully, as if she hit it, she taught her sister a lesson.

It hurts to hit yourself yourself.
