Chapter 44
Seeing Liu Meilan, who had not come back for a long time, Suning became worried again. She walked out of the door and subconsciously looked at Xu Dang's yard. Unlike usual, Liu Meilan knelt in the middle of the courtyard this time, and she didn't know what mistake she made. Suning hurriedly walked to the courtyard next door and looked at the person who was kneeling towards the door with his back to her not far away.
Suning's heart was lifted, she opened the door and walked in, squatting next to Liu Meilan and looking at her. Liu Meilan glanced at her, did not speak, but took out the small pebble hidden in her waist and handed it to Suning. Suning glanced at the things that Liu Meilan handed over, sighed, and raised his hand to touch Liu Meilan's head, "Lan'er, what are you kneeling here?" β
Liu Meilan lowered her head and did not explain. Suning sniffed and looked at the door, "You tell your mother that you did something wrong, and your mother will explain to your master." As soon as the words fell, Liu Meilan raised her head and looked at Suning. To be honest, she was still surprised by Suning's words, because she had never been so cared about by Suning.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Suning got up and walked in the direction of Xu Dang's house. Seeing this, Liu Meilan hurriedly pulled her clothes to prevent her from moving forward. Suning turned to look at her, not understanding why Liu Meilan would react this way. Liu Meilan opened her mouth, and finally explained, "Mother, go back first, it's because I don't want to make the master angry that I will be punished for kneeling." β
Suning was stunned, Liu Meilan apprenticed twice, as if it was the first time she was punished by her master. She walked up to Liu Meilan again and squatted down, "What are you doing to make your master angry." Suning stared into her eyes and asked, Liu Meilan pursed her lips and frowned, "You don't care about this matter, what about that person, did you just leave with someone?" β
Liu Meilan asked, Suning was dumbfounded. She knows who the person Liu Meilan is talking about now is, isn't it Liu Yanqing. Now that Liu Yanqing is back, he is like this. Although Liu Meilan was not present just now, it is estimated that her impression of Liu Yanqing is not particularly good. She regrets it a little now, regretting why she had to say it in front of Liu Meilan all the time.
Liu Meilan crossed her hands and held them together, and then said to Suning, "Mother, weren't you unwilling to forgive him before." I just want to know what you think of him now, mother. Suning didn't know what to say, she looked at Liu Meilan and felt uncomfortable, "Mother doesn't know, Lan'er, he said that he could take you and me to the capital, and my mother thought." β
Speaking of which, she began to hesitate. She didn't say it, and Liu Meilan also knew what she was going to say next. Liu Meilan sighed, this is really true. Suning looked at Liu Meilan, "You can't learn much from him here, if your mother takes you to the capital, it's a good thing for you to learn with them, even now, he may not be gone."
Before Suning's words were finished, Liu Meilan took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand. Suning looked at her, not understanding what Liu Meilan was trying to say to her by pulling her like this. Liu Meilan took a deep breath, "Mother, if you don't think about me, will you follow me to the capital?" She asked, and Suning shook her head, "Not for you, of course you won't follow." β
Liu Meilan sighed lightly, "Then let's not go, okay." Suning shook his head, and refused without thinking about it, "You can't stay here all the time, it's useless." Liu Meilan was dumbfounded, she didn't know what to say about it. Because she is not a person who pursues much, and then opened the store that her master left for her, it is also because of this.
For basic daily needs, she needs a storefront to support her and her family's daily expenses. Besides, now that she has a job, and she can also eat well with Suning, she doesn't need to worry about life at all, even if she doesn't study, she has nothing. Suning doesn't know what to say to Liu Meilan now, she grew up in the capital.
If she had the opportunity, she would definitely not want Liu Meilan to live here. At this time, Xu Dang in the house suddenly stood up and walked to the window, he couldn't help frowning as he watched the interaction between the mother and daughter. Originally, I was thinking that I would go out and talk to Liu Meilan for a while, but when he was about to go out, he happened to see Suning come out of the house and tell her.
He also thought that Suning had agreed with Liu Yanqing, so he thought that if the two of them had already agreed, then there was no need for him to continue to say anything to Liu Meilan. lest when she leaves, ruin her relationship with him. But what he didn't expect was that Suning didn't say it as he thought, but for others.
It turns out that for so many years, he has been looking at people with different eyes, but in fact, people don't have such thoughts at all. Xu Dangchang sighed and leaned against the wall. The world is unpredictable, and he is always wrong. He now has no face to go out again, and can only hope that Suning will take Liu Meilan away quickly. Don't let her kneel here again, at least.
Suning withdrew his hand back, "If you don't let your mother explain to your master, then your mother will go back first." Liu Meilan pulled Suning's clothes again, "Mother, I still have something, can you go to the store and watch." There was no one there, and the door was still open. Suning frowned, but thinking that Liu Meilan couldn't leave her body now, she nodded and agreed.
Liu Meilan saw that Suning agreed to come down, so she was relieved to let Suning look at her, then at the door, get up and walk out of the door. After Suning left, Liu Meilan lowered her head and waited for Xu Dang to go out. Xu Dang looked out of the door from the window, Liu Meilan was still kneeling in place, not leaving at all, Xu Dang had no choice but to go to the door of the small door.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, Xu Hua opened the door and looked at him. Xu Dang coughed lightly a few times and looked at him, "You go and tell Liu Meilan to stop kneeling." Xu Hua didn't speak, sat on the coffin and looked at him. Xu Dang sighed and frowned, "Look at what kind of expression you have, isn't my words enough to invite you once?" β
Xu Hua hurriedly got up and stood up, patting the ash on his buttocks, "No, no, brother, didn't you just say that you couldn't tell her, why did you let me go now." Xu Dang glanced at him up and down, "I asked you to go, and I didn't say I was going." Xu Hua was a little embarrassed, Xu Dang made a way for him, "To go or not to go, it's all up to you." β
This is a must, Xu Hua nodded, it seems that he has to go once. Xu Hua walked out of the door and remembered Xu Wen again. He turned around and pulled up Xu Wen, who was watching the play behind the coffin, "You can go with me." Before Xu Wen could react, he was already pulled to the door. He looked at Xu Hua and then at Xu Dang, "No, I'm here." β
Xu Wen was so anxious that he couldn't speak, Xu Dang didn't speak, and acquiesced to Xu Hua's meaning. Xu Wen was speechless, so he was pulled to the door by Xu Hua. Xu Hua opened the door and pulled Xu Wen out. The moment the door opened, Liu Meilan raised her head, she thought it was Xu Dang who came out, but she didn't expect that the people who came out would be Xu Hua and Xu Wen.
Xu Wen smiled at Liu Meilan, and Xu Hua was the same. Liu Meilan lowered her head in disappointment, she could guess that these two were here to persuade people, but she didn't want to hear it yet. Xu Hua walked up to Liu Meilan and squatted down, "Don't kneel here, your master is angry now, how long are you going to kneel here?" I can tell you that he has been angry for a long time. β
Liu Meilan didn't speak, Xu Hua sat directly in front of her, "It's useless for you to kneel here, now the matter hasn't been brushed yet, who knows how Liu Yanqing is going to solve this matter later." Besides, your master didn't tell you about this poisonous thing, he just didn't want you to take care of it. You're kneeling now, it's just not interesting at all. β
Liu Meilan still ignored it, Xu Hua pulled the sleeve of her dress, "Listen to my advice, you get up now." How to solve this matter, you can talk to your master. Liu Meilan withdrew her hand, "I don't know how to tell Master about this, we all quarreled just now, how can we still talk about it now." β
Xu Hua looked at Xu Wen, Xu Wen pursed his lips and didn't know what to say, Xu Hua directly pulled him down and squatted. After Xu Wen squatted down, he didn't know how to tell Liu Meilan, and looked at Xu Hua. Xu Hua was silent, Xu Wen had no choice but to give up, "Then, it's not like you can't give it a try, right, I think he's usually good to you, and it's the first time he's angry." β
Liu Meilan didn't speak, but Xu Hua continued to persuade, "That's it, this is the first time you have quarreled." Your master is just hard-mouthed, you know. Liu Meilan still lowered her head and refused to say a word. Xu Hua was already nervous, and when she saw her like this, she didn't know what to say, "You are talking, you are like this, I don't know,"
Liu Meilan let out a long sigh, and Xu Hua suddenly paused. Liu Meilan raised her head, looked at Xu Hua and asked, "Master is angry with me, isn't it bad for me to go in now." Xu Hua sighed, "Why do you think so, your master is now waiting for you to come in and find him." How could he be angry with you, besides, when did you see him angry with you? β
Liu Meilan was dumbfounded, and Xu Hua said again, "You just didn't tell him well, and quietly told you that he just told me inside." said that you just can't listen to the persuasion, you have to follow him to know. He is your master, and he is not anyone. Liu Meilan lowered her head, "You don't understand, I can't agree to what the master said, I thought he was,"
When Liu Meilan said this, she thought of what Xu Dang said about her poison before. She thought it was Xu Dang's lie, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but she didn't expect it to be true. Xu Hua pursed his lips, "Your master is also thinking about you, telling you so, he is such a person, he just needs you to do what he says." β
Liu Meilan sighed, "Of course I know what kind of person Master is, but if I am allowed to do what Master says, I can't do it, I can't do that kind of thing at all." After listening to this, Xu Hua suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He looked at Xu Wen, who pretended to cough twice and stood aside, without even looking back.
This was very embarrassing, Xu Hua stood up and walked back. Xu Dang was speechless and returned to sit in front of the table, he never thought that Xu Hua really did something and couldn't do anything, and in the end he had to solve this problem. Xu Hua walked into the door and closed the door after entering, "Brother, I can't say it, she really is." β
What was Xu Dang about to say in the way of nature, he glanced at Xu Hua, "Since you don't want to get up, then let her not get up." Xu Hua was stunned, "You've wanted to do this for a long time, why do you want me to solve this problem." Xu Dang was speechless, "I really doubt that what you said to me before is true, what are you talking to her." β
Xu Hua was puzzled, "Of course you can tell me." Xu Dang glanced at him, "I don't think you should tell her so much, just pull it up, why are you like a girl." Xu Hua was speechless, "If you want to say that, then you can tell her yourself, you can't say it yourself, expect me to say anything." β
Xu Dang wasn't ready to explain, and Xu Hua didn't think about continuing. He walked straight into the small door as he had just done and didn't say anything. Xu Wen, who was standing outside the door, waited for a long time and didn't see anyone come back, so he knew that Xu Hua was not going to come back. But what should be done still needs to be solved, so he replaced Xu Hua to persuade.
He came to Liu Meilan and squatted down, "It's still those words just now, if you have anything, you can go in and talk to your master." My brother told you just now, you just need to talk about it well, and talk about other things. Liu Meilan didn't know how to explain, "Don't say it again, I don't know how to tell the master, he doesn't listen." β
Xu Wen sighed, if it weren't for the fact that he often stayed by their side, he would have thought that Liu Meilan was someone. "Are you going to kneel here all the time? In the final analysis, this matter is just a misunderstanding, if you don't talk about it now, then what does your master think of you. He's also bad-tempered, can't you talk to him about what he's going to do? β
Liu Meilan didn't speak, and Xu Wen continued, "You and I are different, I really couldn't make sense with my brother before." Because he never looks me in the eye, but are you like me? You are different from me, do you think Xu Dang will not listen to you? He is your master, you know these days, how he teaches you and how you see you. β
Liu Meilan nodded, "I know what you said, but do you know what my master told me?" He said that I should go to the capital with me, and that he would go to jail for this case. What do you say I should do, do I really have to listen to him? Am I really going to go to the capital and let him go to jail for me? I can't do it, he's my master, I'm reallyβ"
Speaking of this, Liu Meilan suddenly had a sour nose and cried directly. Xu Wen saw her cry for the first time, and suddenly he didn't know what to say. Liu Meilan sniffed, and then explained, "No matter what happens in the end of this case, I am going to kill my father, and it has nothing to do with Master, he is so good to me, how can I?"
Liu Meilan wiped away her tears and looked at Xu Wen, "How can I let him go to jail for me because of this incident." It's me who is not filial, it's me who wants to kill my father, I can't let Master go to jail for me, do you understand what I mean? No matter what Master thinks, he is my Master, and even if he is not me, I can't let him go to jail for me. β
Xu Wen sighed, walked over to Liu Meilan's side and sat down, "Speaking of which, you are nothing more than because of that case." You feel that your master is going to go to jail for you, that's why you're like this. But have you ever thought that this case will not end up being decided the way you think? Your father Liu Wu hasn't done anything stupid, just forcing your mother to marry. β
When Xu Wen said this, he suddenly felt that this was not very good, he scratched his head, "In short, don't think about everything too badly, in case Liu Yanqing is not ready to judge." When the time comes, what do you say, you keep kneeling like this, what do you want your master to do? He's going to have to come over and pull you up, and then say I'm not going to do it for you. β
Liu Meilan thought about it like this, and this is indeed the truth. She looked at Xu Wen, "Then what should I do now, can I still go in?" Xu Wen nodded, "Of course, you go in now and talk to your master." Actually, you're both thinking about each other, aren't you, just say it, let's see what happens after that, right? β
When Liu Meilan heard this, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, stood up and ran to the door. Xu Wen stood up and patted the dirt behind his buttocks, and followed Liu Meilan into the door. Xu Dang saw Liu Meilan running towards him, and hurriedly returned to the table to sit. After Liu Meilan came in, he just glanced at it, drank tea again, and ignored it.
Liu Meilan walked up to Xu Dang and knelt down, "Master, the apprentice is just worried about Master." There is no other meaning, the master thinks for the apprentice, and the apprentice also thinks for the master. When the time comes, I will explain, and Master will not have to go to jail. The master doesn't have to think about going to prison, the apprentice is really afraid, afraid that the master will really go in as he said, and the apprentice will leave. β
Xu Dang put the teacup on the table, "Liu Meilan, this matter is also wrong for being a teacher, you get up and stand first." Liu Meilan nodded, and he also heard Xu Wen's words just now. Indeed, he shouldn't think too badly of everything. When he thought about it, he told Liu Meilan like this, but it scared Liu Meilan first, and he straightened out his clothes.
looked at Liu Meilan, "Xu Wen's words just now, the teacher also heard it." As a teacher, I didn't expect it, you would think so. I thought about myself for Shiguang, but I didn't expect you, so I apologize to you for Shiguang here. Liu Meilan hurriedly bent down and saluted, "Master, don't say that, it's all disciples who don't explain anything to the master, so that's why it's like this." β
Xu Dang sighed, "The teacher doesn't think so now, it's all the teacher's fault, the teacher didn't think of you, and it scared you." Liu Meilan hurriedly answered, "Master, don't say that, it's all the fault of the vain." The apprentice is also anxious, and the apprentice has a bad temper. Xu Dang raised his hand to stop Liu Meilan's words that were about to speak, "Don't say it yet." β
