Chapter 2 Entering the Li family for the first time caused a storm
Zhao Haiyu's white robe was stained and lost its original color, his face was haggard, but he still gently comforted Yun Ting, who was crying hoarsely, Yun Ting raised his head from Zhao Hai's arms, was surprised to see the scars on his face, and asked distressedly, "What's the matter with the wounds on your face?" Did they hit you? ”
Of course, Zhao Hai knew that Yun Ting was worried about whether the patrol room had tortured him to extract a confession, and explained: "It was I who had an argument with a few prisoners in the morning, and now it's fine, you don't have to worry." ”
Fang Yunting was worried about death, she thought to herself what a hateful person she could make Zhao Hai do. She stomped her feet angrily, raised her head and wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, then took out a letter and thirty silver dollars from her handbag and handed them to the official, and said, "Official, this is Director Zhang's handwritten letter, please take a look, and these are your hard work." The two officials quickly put their heads together, and while pulling out the letter, they did not forget to count the weight of the silver dollars in the money bag, and a smile bloomed on their faces.
The tone immediately softened, and one of the short and fat officials said: "Why didn't you say it earlier, Director Zhang's handwritten letter is better than a daughter!" At this moment, a message was sent from outside to Zhaohai's second and third brothers to visit, and as soon as the words fell, Humpty Dumpty said: "Let them in quickly, Mr. Li's case has become clear, and their family will be reunited immediately." ”
Zhaonong and Zhaoshen finally met the eldest brother Zhaohai, the three brothers were very excited to meet, the third brother saw the scars on the eldest brother's face, and after learning the truth from the official, he wanted to fight with the group of prisoners, but was stopped by Zhaohai.
After this meeting, Zhaohai was sent to a separate cell and guarded, and he was free after waiting for an amnesty order from above. Zhao Hai sat in his cell, holding the clothes and food prepared for him by his family and Yun Ting in his arms, waiting for the news of his release.
Three days later, the amnesty was issued, and Zhaohai was finally released. As he walked out of the prison gates, the shadows of the sun flickered all over the ground, and the summer sun released the last hints of smell in the bubbling water. The sun shone so brightly that Zhaohai couldn't open his eyes, he blocked it with his hand, and beams of light passed through his fingers, and the free air was so good!
After Yun Ting, Zhao Nong, and Zhao Shen learned the news, they waited outside the prison early in the morning, and now that the four of them finally met, the scene of joy and excitement could not bear to be repeated.
When the old and new couples returned to the door, they couldn't stay until after the sun went down, and Zhaohai and Yunting had a lively conversation at Fang's house, so they didn't care about these things, and played until nearly ten o'clock after dinner before leaving. The two called a yellow-haired car, the early autumn night was cool, they snuggled up to each other very closely, the yellow-haired car ran in the secluded streets and alleys, Zhaohai hugged Yunting in his arms tighter. On a silvery blue night with heavy frost, only one or two shops were dimly lit, and the smell of baked bread wafted from one of them, "It's so fragrant!" At this time, the baked bread should be prepared for tomorrow, shall we buy some? Yun Ting snuggled up in Zhaohai's arms and said.
"Okay, you wait, I'll buy it." Zhao Hai smiled and tightened Yun Ting's cloud gauze coat, jumped out of the car and ran quickly to the shop.
In the dead of night, the two returned to the Li Mansion, and who knew that Qin Bo, the old housekeeper who opened the door for them, whispered to Zhaohai: "Young master, the old lady is waiting for you in the hall, she seems to be very angry." ”
"It's so late, grandpa hasn't slept yet?" Zhao Hai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why is Grandpa angry, Uncle Qin, do you know?" ”
Uncle Qin looked even more difficult, and finally quietly told them the cause of the incident: "Before dinner, the third lady and the old lady muttered, saying that the eldest and young grandmothers would definitely not come back tonight when they returned to their parents' house, and then the old lady was very angry and didn't even eat dinner with everyone." ”
When Yun Ting heard that this was the reason, she was afraid when she thought of the old lady's majestic appearance and the intricate relationship between her and the aunts. Yun Ting grabbed Zhaohai's cuffs tightly with one hand, and his raised eyes looked very worried. Zhaohai woke up like a dream, and he was deeply surprised that he was happy for a while and forgot that the family rules were strict, and Yun Ting was misunderstood.
Thinking that Yun Ting had just gotten married, how could he be reprimanded by his grandfather in public, so Zhao Hai persuaded Yun Ting to go back to the bedroom first, and he went to explain to his grandfather alone.
In the bright hall, the old lady sat in the center with an angry face, and the third uncle and his wife, the fourth uncle and his wife, as well as the fifth aunt and cousin Yan were all sitting in their seats. As soon as everyone saw Zhaohai enter the hall, everyone had different expressions, some were anxious, some were full of interest...... Everyone glanced at the old lady from time to time, and the old lady who didn't say a word sat on the Taishi's chair and looked at Zhaohai with frowns.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai picked up his robe and knelt on the ground, and said: "Zhao Hai forgot his feelings for a while, and he actually left the family rules behind him, and it was all up to his grandfather to deal with it. There is only one thing, Yun Ting has just gotten married, and she doesn't know the rules of the family, please don't blame her, this matter is all Zhao Hai can't think about, it's all up to grandpa. After speaking, Zhaohai kowtowed to the old lady.
When the old lady heard that Zhaohai was all about defending Yunting, she was angry, and said with an angry face: "What does it mean that you don't know the rules at home, what kind of nonsense is this, are the rules set by the ancestors only known to our Li family?" They don't know about it? Or didn't take our Li family in their eyes at all! Hearing this, Zhao Hai anxiously defended and said: "Absolutely not, Yun Ting's parents respect his grandfather very much, and they also specially greeted his grandfather, our family and the Fang family have been friends for decades, Yun Ting is even more affectionate to his grandson, his grandson was falsely imprisoned, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law tried their best to save him, please don't have this idea." ”
The old lady got up and walked slowly to Zhaohai's side, and said, "After decades of friendship, it was your father who intersected with them, and people will change." You tell her that marrying into the Li family is a member of the Li family, and you have to abide by the rules of the Li family. Zhaohai, you are the eldest son and eldest grandson, and you have to set an example for many younger siblings! Alas - I hope you will do it yourself! The old lady threw down his sleeves heavily, and walked towards the hall door with a snort, and Uncle Qin hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady when he saw this. Seeing that the old lady no longer pursued it, everyone dispersed, and Zhaohai still knelt on the ground and did not get up.
"Big nephew, you really love your daughter-in-law." The third lady didn't forget to tease before leaving, and then walked out with a smile shaking her waist.
Zhaohai's forehead was full of sweat, and Cousin Yan couldn't look at it, and walked to his side and whispered: "Big cousin, grandpa is gone, you get up quickly, don't kneel." ”
Zhao Hai stood up silently, the patience that Zhao Hai had learned in this big family over the years had been buried deep in his heart.
"Zhaohai, don't worry, the old lady is also angry for a while, and it will get better slowly." The fifth aunt saw him stunned in place, and she couldn't bear to persuade him.
Zhaohai came back to his senses and said, "Thank you, Aunt Five, it's so late, you and your cousin should go back quickly." Cousin Yan looked at Zhaohai's appearance, her heart was like a knife, and she said unfairly: "Grandpa was provoked by the villain and wronged the eldest cousin indiscriminately, really-" Zhaohai hurriedly stopped her from saying the following words, and said: "Cousin, don't say this kind of thing, this matter is not right for me, I didn't ask my grandfather, I made an opinion, and it also affected Yunting...... Okay, Sister Yan, you can go back with the fifth aunt. Hui Yan was worried that he was alone, so she took his arm and said, "Cousin, you can go too, sister-in-law is waiting for you." After speaking, Zhaohai nodded, and the three of them left the hall together.
The night was heavier, and Yun Tingku sat in front of the blue screen window and waited for Zhaohai to come back.
