Chapter Thirty-Eight: Dressed in Black in the Middle of the Night

Mother, my grandfather is here.

My dad is not a good person.

How's your talk going?

Grandpa went out for a walk.

What!

My dad and my mother-in-law were chatting.

Is this still worth it?

Grandma wasn't there either.

Son, don't gasp when you speak.

Where's Grandma?

Grocery shopping.

Okay, our servants won't buy it, she buys it, and it's okay to feed the chickens with the vegetables she bought.

As you can see, my mother-in-law is listening at the door.

Mother, why do you say that grandma, grandma is an elder.

Your grandmother is that kind of person, she, she has never suffered since she was a child, she doesn't know firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, last year, we just came back, do you remember? She stewed pork bone soup for me, and the stewed leg stick bone was okay, so I could make up for it, but there was no soup at all for a black bone, and your father had to cut off the black one before I could eat it.

I don't remember.

That's when you're not home.

I thought he really didn't remember, but he was actually afraid that my mother-in-law would hear it, I didn't know, and told him that my mother-in-law was endless.

My mother-in-law is gone, and I won't say anything.

It seems like deliberately angry with her.

Do you think my mother-in-law might give up?

No way.

As you guessed, she told my father, to be precise, to sue my father.

How do you want to teach your daughter-in-law, you don't have to discuss it with me, I don't care about the daughter who marries out, the water that is spilled, you care, she married at the age of seventeen, for a while, twelve years, after that, she will be in your house all her life, how your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along, your own business. I'm here today, it's to my in-laws, my mother-in-law, I'm here to send a wedding post, my eldest son Dongyue is sixteen years old, please be in-law, mother-in-law, our family will drink my son's Wenyu's wedding wine when we arrive.

My father-in-law smiled and said, "Congratulations to my family, we will definitely go."

My mother-in-law wondered: It's only September, how can the date be set so late.

Isn't it that there are no good days this month and next month, and it's not okay to get married in a hurry, and the days are not good, and they are not smooth.

I pretended to be okay to inquire about my brother and daughter-in-law, and I wanted to have a meal with her, my father agreed, I went back with my father, he didn't ask me why I was crying along the way, he really didn't care about me, he didn't care about me anymore, I was spilled water, I cried with Zhao Caiyi when I returned to my mother's house, it was useless to cry with my mother, she couldn't say anything and was uncomfortable, Zhao Caiyi could help me solve problems.

Well, after a while, your brother and daughter-in-law came and saw you crying, thinking that you didn't agree.

I wiped my tears: my brother's marriage, how can I be qualified, I am the water that was spilled.

Okay, okay, don't shed tears, my brother laughed at you.

Wen Fei grimaced at me, he is fifteen years old, life flies so fast, especially the year I have been recuperating from my injuries, time is like an arrow.

Fourth aunt, have you seen that girl, and what is your impression?

Weak can't help the wind, can't speak well, hey, what kind of person, you have to marry to know.

Did you know that my father was like this, and he was still married?

What's your dad like, your dad is fine.

I pouted.

Children cannot say that their elders are not. It's almost there, wipe away your tears and go to the living room and wait. Hey, I'll get you an ice cube and put it on it. After saying that, I shouted to the maid to bring it, put it on me, and tell me jokes, I was still unhappy, but the tears stopped flowing, and I could see people.

Have you seen your siblings?

Lu Shang was lying on the bed and asked me, and Qiu Yu was beating him on the back.

Son, work harder.

Don't call my son, I'll help you.

Mother, let's do it, don't beat my dad apart.

It's still my son who feels sorry for me.

Qiu Yu knew that we had something to say, so he went out after a few thrashes.

If I hadn't seen my brother and sister, I wouldn't have eaten from his family.

Lu Shang sat up and hugged me: Isn't it your mother's house, what's wrong, what did your father say again.

You're not home today, and you don't know how ugly he is. He said that I spilled the water, I cried, and he didn't ask, if I was his own daughter, did I pick it up?

Generally speaking, it is picked up.

I'm not ordinary.

In what you heard Lu Shang think in his heart, it is: A face is taken off, and at first glance it is father and daughter.

He is patriarchal, you don't have to respect him, he has a son to support him, and he doesn't need you, he doesn't care about you, you don't care about him, it's okay. Xiaoguan, I would like to discuss one thing with you.

It's not good for him to be coquettish.

What's up?

I'm not happy today, and if he makes an unreasonable request, I won't agree.

Keep your inn in place for two days.

What?

I turned my head to look at him: Why do you want to turn it off? Why do you want me to shut it up?

I'm talking to you.

You shouldn't say it at all. Isn't it your mother, tell you that I told her and let you scold me.

What did you say?

Didn't tell you?

I didn't come back. What did you say bad about her?

I said she wouldn't buy groceries, she wouldn't cook, she wouldn't live. I've been talking about it for a while.

You didn't apologize?

Again, I'm not wrong.

Then it's going to be locked up for two days, come with me, and go to Huarui Village.

Can your mother forget?

Going to Flower Stamen Village?

That's right, you forgot, Hu Yan, his death hasn't been found out yet.

Hu Yan judged that it was a brain injury, but the needle was very thin, and when it was pierced, it was in place in one step, and the judgment should be that he knew medical knowledge.

Excluding the suspicion of eucommia, who else can there be?

Investigating the case is your eldest brother's business, why are you going?

Help, this case is related to Qiu Yue's death, you don't want to avenge Qiu Yue?

You big vinegar jar, dare I say?

We adopted his son, he is your brother, I am avenging my brother-in-law, what are you jealous of. He coquettishly played with me again: only for two days.

No, I think one day is enough.

The environment of Huarui Village is very good, let's play for a day.

I'm serious: my inn finally opened, they finally forgot about last year, and you let me play with you? If you don't help me, I don't need to, don't make trouble for me. You have to go yourself, don't bother me.

It's okay not to be angry, I won't go, Xianggong wants to take you to relax, but if you're not happy, you won't go, don't be angry. By the way, I didn't eat it, I left the dumplings for you, you go cook them,

I:......

The dumplings are unpalatable, it's better for me to make them myself, the chef at home should have been changed a long time ago, I really don't know how my in-laws endure it.

It's you who picks yourself, and we eat it well. If you want to eat, you can make it yourself, and I don't want to eat with you yet.

The one who said I was Lu Tu.

I don't know where I came back, the smell of wine and rouge mixed together, and the smoke made my nose sour and my hair dizzy.

Lu Tu, what are you doing with drinking too much again, come back with me. I'm sorry, third brother and sister, your second brother drank too much like that, don't blame him.

Don't talk nonsense, get out of here.

Hey, okay.

But she couldn't get Lu Tu, Lu Shang helped carry it back, and came back to tell me not to have such a good relationship with Xianyan anymore, and asked me not to scold his second brother.

What do you mean by him saying this to me, in his eyes, I need to pay attention to my words and deeds, and his family doesn't need to?

I was very angry, I didn't live at home, so I went to the inn, and what was even more angry was that Lu Shang didn't come to me.

The guys are still those guys, Zhang Zhang, who can't recognize me, treats me as a guest again, and Li Cheng scolds him for not being long-sighted.

I don't blame him.

Look at me, I'm plain, my hair is messy, I'm very unenergetic, I don't even know myself when I look in the mirror.

Shopkeeper, why are you here at this time?

Stay here.

Where do you stay and where do your guests stay?

I can sleep wherever I want, with tables and chairs, or on the ground.

Just kidding, can you still live without a shopkeeper's room? I'll check it out for you.

He flipped through the notebook, flipped through it several times, and laughed unnaturally.

It's okay, it's good not to have a room, I can sleep anywhere. I thought about it and said: I'll sleep in the kitchen, get up and wash my face and stir-fry directly, you all worked hard, I'll make breakfast tomorrow.

Shopkeeper, this is not appropriate. You better go home, you can't sleep in a chair on your waist.

I also know, it's not a gamble, I don't think there is a room left.

I'll look at the list.

Li Cheng gave it to me but accidentally fell to the ground, just so that I could see Zhang Lulu's name.

Knock knock!

Who is it?

I.

Zhang Lulu looked at me holding the futon pillow and asked: What's wrong with you?

I'll sleep with you.

The child came with me, there is no place for you.

Then I'll lay on the floor. I look at the child, or when I just came back, you hold the child and look at me, I see how old I am.

Boiled me thin, he got fat.

When I looked at it, I was really fat, wearing a small belly pocket, two small breasts, and arms and legs like lotus roots.

If you fall asleep, why don't you pick it up and take a look.

I laid down on the floor, and Zhang Lulu asked me: Why did you come to live here?

I put up a stall with a man who doesn't value me.

How good Lu Shang is to you, give up business to take care of you.

Anyway, in his eyes, my family is more important than me.

You are also his family.

Hmph, I'm the one who lives with him. If it weren't for the whisper, I wouldn't have lived with him a long time ago.

Xiaoyu has only been here for two years, and in those ten years, how did you two live, quarreling every day?

No.

Lu Shang doesn't bully you, does he?

No.

That's not it.

But he is not alone in their family, I can't give birth, except for him, they all have opinions about me, he also likes children, he says he doesn't care, you see him whispering to Xiaoyu, like a son.

Are you still jealous of whispering?

It's not jealousy, or he cares, so why lie to me.

Can you talk about this well?

Your eldest is with the one in your family at home, and he doesn't look for you.

Son and father.

I said so.

Autumn is twelve, he is still a boy, he can be so close to you, you can still coax him to sleep, and hug you every day.

I just don't feel well.

Say what you have and come out and do what you do.

If I wasn't too angry, I wouldn't have come out. It's all lying down, let's talk about it tomorrow. He didn't come to me.

But, as you can see, when I said this, Lu Shang heard Li Cheng say that I was here, so he went back.

Tell me if you're in a better mood.

He said, why don't you go to me and stay at the inn.

I'm afraid of your mother-in-law.

Then send someone to tell me, I will accompany you and you will not be angry with Lu Shang.

I don't understand why I'm angry.

It's that he thinks their surname Lu is more important than me. Say no more, sleep.

But I couldn't sleep, and my hearing was very good, and I felt that someone was walking next to me, and I thought it was a green man, and I didn't open my eyes to see it.

However, what you see is a man in black, holding a short sword, stabbing at me, and I feel it, open my eyes, and the man in black falls.

It was Qiu Yu who came to save me.

Qiu Yu took off the mask of the man in black, and according to the routine, the man in black bit his tongue and committed suicide.

Qiuyu pulled me up and asked me: Do you know?

I don't know.

Let's go home, our home is safe.

Your dad asked you to come?

Qiu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "My father asked me to protect you."

Zhang Lulu said: Go back quickly, don't have another person who is not good for your mother. I was scared to death just now, I haven't shouted yet, your son is really timely.

You also go back with us, and Lu Cheng has to deal with it here.
