Chapter 18: Living Ancestors

South Gate Lane is next to the North City Gate of Hengyang, and most of the people who live here are peddlers and pawns. There is no bustle and bustle of Wuyi Street, and as far as the eye can see, there are low and gray courtyards and people in coarse cloth clothes.

Wei Xiangjun's carriage had just stopped outside a miscellaneous courtyard, and two men came over with a door panel carrying people.

"Sister-in-law, you are doing well, my girl can't help but toss!"

The one who cried and chased after her was none other than Pearl Mother.

The moment Wei Xiangjun lifted the curtain, the door panel was lowered heavily, and the person lying on it shook and was almost lifted to the side.

Pearl and her mother squeezed over, half-knelt on the ground, wrapped the person on the ground from neck to foot with the taut wool she was holding in her arms, and cried so much that she couldn't breathe.

"People don't work for nothing, give two pennies!"

An old woman stepped forward, her knuckle-thick hand reaching out to her mother.

Pearl's mother only cried and didn't make a sound.

The old woman was furious, "The old man who doesn't repair has the face to lie to me, a foreigner." If it weren't for the neighbors secretly suing me, I wouldn't have known that your family already had a house on this street. You girl is almost gone, and you are reluctant to dirty your own land and come to harm us! ”

There are people everywhere who love to see the excitement, and this time the time will be around, some of them will listen to the old woman with their ears pricked up, and some will stare curiously at the dying woman on the door panel.

"I saw that you two were pitiful, you didn't pay the rent for a month, and I didn't say anything. Why don't you know to pity me? My widow is unemployed, and she earns some money from these dilapidated houses. Why are you crying, I still want to cry! ”

"I really didn't count my sister-in-law. Originally, I was going to take the child away in the next two days, who would have thought that she would suddenly feel bad......"

"It's none of my business! I'm out of luck when I meet you! That's it! I'll give out the money, and I don't want the rent, so we don't know each other when we meet in the future! ”

The old woman dropped a sentence and turned around with the people and left.

The excitement gradually dispersed, and no one stepped forward to ask.

Wei Xiangjun got out of the car and walked to Pearl and her mother.

"Big girl?"

Pearl and her mother were stunned for a moment, and stood up with tears in her eyes.

"Haven't you been back to the countryside yet?"

Wei Xiangjun glanced into the courtyard through the half-human-high bamboo gate.

This is the home of pearls.

Wei Xiangjun remembered that in the first year of Pearl's arrival in Xifu, her mother was tired and sick, and Grandma Wei allowed her to go back to take care of her for a few days. The back guards Xiangjun and Bixue came to see the pearl and went to the back room to sit for a while.

Anyway, there was a commotion like this, and there were patients on the ground, but there was no movement in the courtyard, as if there was no one.

Pearl and her mother were stunned for a long time, but she couldn't answer.

Wei Xiangjun didn't ask, but stood by the door panel and looked at the withered person on the ground.

In the sum of his two lives, Wei Xiangjun has not seen a pearl for many years.

In her impression, she has a pearl melon seed face, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and a pair of eyelashes that keep fluttering when she speaks, beautiful and smart.

But at this time, she was so thin that she was out of shape, her eyes were closed, and she was lifeless.

Pearl and Bixue entered the house together, and even from the very beginning, Wei Xiangjun liked pearls better than Bixue, who was clumsy by her.

Pearl can tell stories, and always likes to mention her mother's eccentricity. In order to marry a daughter-in-law for her son, her mother did not hesitate to send her daughter out to serve others, just to hear that the monthly money given to her subordinates in Xifu was higher than that of other places.

Every time she said that she was sad, Wei Xiangjun and Bi Xue could accompany her tears to flow.

There are too many advantages of pearls, and Grandma Wei once planned to bring her up and be her daughter's right-hand man in the future.

But one day, Grandma Wei suddenly said that Jiang Yaozhu was missing a girl by her side, and she had asked Pearl, and she was willing to go over.

Of course, Wei Xiangjun was not happy, and even ran to reason with Jiang Yaozhu. It was the servant woman in the house who told Wei Xiangjun that they had already hooked up with Jiang's mother and daughter.

Grandma Wei was disgusted that Pearl was not loyal, so she pushed her away.

It's ridiculous to think about it, Pearl should have been the idea of climbing another high branch, but it ended up today.

Those who are stained with Jiang's mother and daughter are unlucky, and the pearl is just self-inflicted.

"The girl can come and see her, and the pearl is blind when she dies, and she always says that she owes the girl love."

Pearl choked up.

"She doesn't owe me, she owes herself."

Wei Xiangjun said lightly: "I didn't come to see her. ”

When the pearl mother came to her mouth, she was blocked back.

"I don't want to mention the things in the past, but I came here today to ask, where did my master offend you, and kindly saved the pearl, but was bitten back?"

It can be seen that Pearl and her mother's face are red and white for a while.

"Auntie is back in the main cultivation hall this time, but she has already calculated that before stepping on us, you will dip some oil and water first?"

"Girl, I was wrong. There are a lot of adults! ”

Pearl reached out coldly and slapped herself, "Damn it, it's me, it has nothing to do with this child!" ”

Wei Xiangjun did not hide his disgust.

What she hates most is the bitter meat trick.

didn't pay attention to Pearl and her mother anymore, Wei Xiangjun squatted next to Pearl, lifted the dust on her body, and wanted to open her collar again.

"Girl, leave her some decent ......"

Pearl reached out to stop her.

"If you don't let me see, how can you know how long she can last?"

Wei Xiangjun asked coldly.

The pearl took her mother's hand back in a slurch.

After seeing a few wounds that had festered and abscesses, Wei Xiangjun closed the clothes for Pearl and put his hand on her vein.

Wei Xiangjun heard from the master that the pearl was poisoned by sores because the injuries on her body were not treated in time, and they dragged them to the back, turning from external symptoms to internal injuries.

"Does my aunt want her to live or die?"

Wei Xiangjun stood up.

The pearl mother looked at her steadily, but she couldn't speak.

"If I help her heal, Pearl has a 30% chance of living. If she is lucky, she can marry and have children like other girls, and live this time in vain. If it is not cured, it is true that in these few days, it will still die of pain in the end. ”

Wei Xiangjun picked up a small purse around his waist and threw it to Pearl Mother, "I'll give you three days." ”

There are three Guiyuan Dan in the purse.

Some things don't need to be said too clearly.

If Pearl wants to save her daughter, she must go to the yamen with Wei Xiangjun to overturn the case for Zheng Qiaosheng.

"Where did this Bodhisattva Niangniang come from? Got my house? ”

The courtyard door suddenly opened, and out came a woman in her twenties, with deep-set eye sockets and a somewhat monkey-like appearance.

"Yue'e, you take a hand and carry the pearl home first!"

Pearl her mother said busily.

"Whew!"

The woman immediately turned her face, "Why isn't she dead yet?" What do you mean, planning to die in my house? I'm telling you, no way! Get people away now! ”

"Let's have something to say in the house."

Pearl and her mother obviously don't want to publicize their ugliness.

In fact, Wei Xiangjun knows a little about the Liu family.

Pearl's mother used up her life savings and sold her daughter, so that she had the capital to marry a wife for her son.

But where is the daughter-in-law who married back, it is simply a living ancestor.

The woman never let go, "There's nothing to say." Your son came back yesterday and said that the steward of the Jiang family was asking again, is Pearl dead? Let me put it this way, it's better for you girl to be dead than alive! ”

Wei Xiangjun squinted his eyes and looked at Pearl's sister-in-law.

I heard that she was a spicy product, and the Liu family was afraid of her. Now it seems that this is true.

"That's it! Auntie, don't say a word. ”

The pearl mother took the woman's hand and was about to push her into the courtyard.

"Who told you to touch me?!"

The woman was furious, not only pushed back, but also kicked her foot.

Pearl shook her body and fell to the ground.

The woman sneered, "Stinky woman, get out of here with the dead ghost!" What a big deal I fell for marrying into your family! Your son is useless, if I hadn't gone to Madame Jiang and bowed down and made a small man, he would have been able to find a good messenger to guard the city gate? Tell you, if you dare to dismantle my platform, you two, I will kill you together! ”

Seeing that the woman turned and entered the courtyard, the pearl mother got up on the ground and moved to the side of her unconscious daughter, and sorrow came to her, "What evil have I done! ”

"Get up!"

Wei Xiangjun looked at her hateful and pitiful, and reached out to help her, "I still don't understand, Pearl doesn't even have a place to die, my aunt is really forbearing, she is young, and she became a lonely ghost?" ”

"Big Girl......"

Pearl looked up sharply.

The woman suddenly rushed back and pointed at Wei Xiangjun with her hand, "I know, you are a big girl from Xifu!" ”

"Alright, stop making trouble!"

Pearl and her mother blocked Wei Xiangjun with her body, "Big girl, let's go first!" ”

"What are you doing here?"

The woman grabbed the old lady away, grabbed Wei Xiangjun's clothes, and said in a loud voice: "I am the only sister-in-law who was killed by you." You want us to let your master go, and go dreaming! ”

Wei Xiangjun didn't pay attention, but he stumbled, or did Pearl and her mother come back to her senses and pull the two apart again, "Daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang has given you all the money, what else do you want?" ”

"Old immortal!"

The woman smacked at Pearl's mother's face, "That's what I deserve." I told you that Mrs. Jiang pointed to us to help her get things done, but you are eye-to-eyeing with the people in Zhengxiutang, so I will report the news, the surname Liu can't let you get into the pit! ”

There was a snap and a slap in the face to the woman.

Even Wei Xiangjun was stunned.

It was the groom who helped Wei Xiangjun drive the car, and his hands were so strong that the woman rolled on the ground a few times, and was stunned for a long time before she howled.

Wei Xiangjun didn't know what to say, this groom was Qin Shizhi's guard, and he specially followed her.

Obviously, people can't listen to it anymore.

"Big brother, don't do this!"

Pearl was taken aback.

"Lao Tzu can't get used to people who do things to his mother, God doesn't care, I'll take care of it!"

Wei Xiangjun lowered his head and couldn't hold back his laughter.

Not to mention, this slap worked, the woman didn't dare to move for a long time, and her mouth stopped.

Pearl and her mother were at a loss.

Wei Xiangjun walked up to the woman, "You know it hurts?" Zhengxiu Hall specializes in people like you, what kind of thing is Jiang's family, can she really support you? Didn't you scold her, go and report the news, just help me speak, the good days of the surname Jiang are over! ”

"Mother!"

Here came another one, and it was Pearl's brother.

"Son, your sister and I have been kicked out. You just see that when you get married, your sister-in-law will help you and let her go home. Living in a firewood house is done! ”

"This ......"

Seeing that her son was still hesitating, Pearl and her mother begged her daughter-in-law again, "You can do it, let her have a peaceful life in the last few days." If she really doesn't do it, I'll carry the pearl on my back! ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiangjun turned around and left.

No one else wants to save her daughter, what else does she say.

Wei Xiangjun's trip was in vain.

However, she didn't have another way.
