Shao Yifei and Bai Qiuyue went to Zhang's mother's house, and Zhang's mother had brought him to her house when Shao Yifei was young.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a simple woman with a cloth around her head sitting on the edge of the bed, and she was coaxing the child to sleep.

This woman, Shao Yifei, naturally recognized that she had heard Zhang's mother mention it to her capable and beautiful daughter-in-law Liu. Sure enough, as Zhang's mother said, her daughter-in-law has a thin face and delicate facial features. It's just that there is a feeling of burnout in the eyebrows and eyes when taking children.

The woman looked at the person who came over with a puzzled face, judging from the style of dress, she was a high-ranking official and a wealthy person. Shao Yifei said to Liu: "You don't have to be nervous, I just want to ask you something." ”

The woman put down her hanging heart, and looked at Shao Yifei and Bai Qiuyue with some surprise, Shao Yifei reported to her what her identity was, Liu naturally heard of General Shao from Zhang's mother's mouth, and naturally warmly entertained them with melons and fruits in the field, and poured water for them in the teacup, Shao Yifei looked at the tea stains in the teacup, so he didn't drink it, put the tea aside for the time being, and began to ask Liu about the business he wanted to ask about this trip.

So Shao Yifei asked about what happened to Zhang's mother.

Liu's expression was a little depressed, she said to Shao Yifei: "Our family's life has not been easy since my father-in-law died, that year, my father-in-law participated in the construction of the bridge, but I didn't expect a bridge disaster, the bridge collapsed because it was not built, my father-in-law was crushed under the bridge and died on the spot." ”

"Then do you remember when your father-in-law had a bridge disaster?" Shao Yifei asked.

"Twenty years ago." Liu pulled the memory back to that time, it was a painful memory.

"Twenty years ago!" Shao Yifei repeated that it was also the year of his biological mother's death.

"Then do you know Qin Shuying?" Shao Yifei's question made Zhang's mother's daughter-in-law Liu look grateful.

"Of course I remember, she was such a kind person. When my father-in-law died, Mrs. Qin gave my mother-in-law a sum of money, saying that our family was not easy, and my mother-in-law was very grateful to her. Later, my mother-in-law fell ill and her voice suddenly became hoarse, and she gave my mother-in-law more in terms of salary, so that our life could be maintained! Liu said gratefully.

Bai Qiuyue and Shao Yifei also had a doubt, that is, how could Mrs. Qin be so good to the nurse of a person she didn't like on weekdays? Unless there is a ghost in the psyche. Yet they didn't say it.

Shao Yifei saw a small box in the house where she lived, and he opened the small box with some curiosity, there were two things in this small box, one was an agate bead flower, and the other was a piece of paper, on which was depicted a crying woman, and there was an emerald green plant with more leaves next to it.

Liu Shi watched Shao Yifei staring at the things in the box, so he said with a little sadness: "My mother-in-law doesn't know what is hidden in her heart, she is an illiterate person, she can only express her inner emotions by painting, she painted many paintings before, but only this one she has preserved." ”

Bai Qiuyue thought for a long time, and said to Shao Yifei: "According to my guess, I think the plant she painted is a yellow lotus, and what I want to express is that she has the meaning of suffering. You see the woman in the painting with tears in her eyes, as if she wanted to express something, and her eyes seemed to speak. ”

"I guess so." Shao Yifei looked at the painting, and then looked at the bead flower that Bai Qiuyue was holding in his hand and was carefully examining, he had a guess in his heart, so he brought these two things back.

Shao Yifei guessed that this bead flower is so delicate and the workmanship is so fine, and Zhang's mother has always been simple and will not be willing to spend money to buy it, he feels that there must be something hidden in it.

And judging from the color of this beaded flower, it feels not a brand new one, but a feeling eroded by the years. Maybe it was when his mother was still alive. And all this, their own grandmother should understand.

Since Li Tingchen's birthday banquet ended, Shao Yifei let her stay in the general's mansion out of filial piety. Li Tingchen said that it was very lively to stay in the General's Mansion, and she was afraid of being lonely, so she agreed.

When Shao Yifei showed this bead flower to Li Tingchen, Li Tingchen looked at it for a long time and felt that this bead flower was very familiar. She later suddenly remembered that this bead flower was given to the Qin family many years ago, she had sent a pair of bead flowers to Guan Hua and Shuying respectively, and this agate bead flower was given to the Qin family, but now there is only one, and at that time, when this bead flower was gone, Li Tingchen asked, and the Qin family only said that it was accidentally lost during the play.

Li Tingchen asked Shao Yifei curiously: "It's really strange, after so many years, how did you find this pearl flower!" Just when Shao Yifei was about to reply to Li Tingchen, the Qin family came over, and when she came over, she saw the bead flower in Shao Yifei's hand, and she was a little curious, she asked Shao Yifei: "Why is my bead flower in your hand?" ”

Obviously, the Qin family didn't know how this pearl flower fell into Shao Yifei's hands, she thought it was another one she left behind, and Shao Yifei just covered up the hatred in his heart, the corners of his mouth raised a mysterious smile, and Yun said lightly: "Erniang, this pearl hairpin was found when I was cleaning up old things, you may be too engrossed when you are doing things, so that you don't know where the pearl hairpin is left!" Now it is back to its rightful owner. In fact, Shao Yifei was on the side to apologize for what she had done unknown things.

Qin took the bead flower, thinking about Shao Yifei's words, her heart was terrified, because she found out that this bead flower was the one she lost twenty years ago! Because the agate on the top of the other one is not missing, the agate on the top of this one is missing a few! However, she didn't know how this beaded flower suddenly appeared in Shao Yifei's hand, and only heard Shao Yifei sigh: "In a few days it will be my mother's death day, my mother has been away from this world for twenty years, and I plan to do a good job for her to comfort her in the heavenly spirit." ”

"Yifei, it's good that you have this heart, and your mother will be very pleased in the spirit of heaven." Li Tingchen said with some relief.

"yes." The Qin family responded again and again, but Shao Yifei knew that her heart was very flustered at the moment.

Mother Zhang stood aside, listening to Shao Yifei's words, she was a little flustered in her heart, she looked a little dazed, and accidentally knocked over the teacup that the old lady put aside.

Zhang's mother was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again to admit her mistake. The old lady naturally didn't blame her, and asked with some concern: "Mother Zhang, why do I think you seem to have something on your mind!" Did you catch a cold a few days ago, but your body still hasn't adjusted! ”

Listening to the old lady's words, Mama Zhang shook her head.

Seeing Zhang's mother like this, the old lady couldn't bear to let her serve, so she said to Zhang's mother: "In the past, you were the most clever person, but now you are not very old, but you look old. I think Mama Zhao can stay in the house, but your words~ It's really not good to stay in the house, and you are a person who can't speak, and sometimes I don't know what you're thinking all day long. ”

"Mrs. Tai, I think Mama Zhang is old and has muteness, so it is better to return to her hometown for the sake of her health." The Qin clan was on the side to help.

And Zhang's mother gestured: "I really can't help much, it's better to go back to my hometown, I still have my grandson to take care of at home!" ”

Her intention to leave was obvious, and Madame looked at her gesture and asked her again what she had guessed, and she nodded.

So, she sincerely and reverently flew to Mrs. Tai, Qin and Shao Yi.

There were tears in his eyes.

"Yifei, what do you think?" Mrs. Tai asked Shao Yifei.

"She has a strong desire to go back, I naturally can't keep her, I have always regarded her as my own relative, I want to talk to her about myself, and then prepare her to return to her hometown." When Shao Yifei spoke, his eyes glanced at the Qin family, but the Qin family pretended not to care.

Zhang's mother was very moved when she heard this, Shao Yifei held Zhang's mother's hand, and felt that Zhang's mother's hand was a little cold, he looked at Zhang's mother's eyes, as if she had a bitter feeling in her eyes, as if she had something to say.

After that, Zhang's mother followed Shao Yifei to a secluded place, but Shao Yifei made a big gift in front of Zhang's mother, Zhang's mother couldn't afford it, and hurriedly let Shao Yifei get up, Shao Yifei said a little sadly: "Zhang's mother, I have always regarded you as my own relative, since the day you saved me when I was a child." ”

Zhang's mother shook her head, saying that these are not enough to worry about, and they should be.

Shao Yifei continued to be emotional: "Mother Zhang, I treat you as a relative, and you should also treat me as a relative, what should you not hide from me!" To tell you the truth, I went to your house once, and I also found the Qin family's bead flower in your house, I am very puzzled, how could that bead flower appear in that box in your house! And the pictures you draw! ”

Shao Yifei slowly took out Mama Zhang's painting from his arms, Mama Zhang's eyes were teary-eyed and she was stunned in place!

Shao Yifei knew that she must have been very aggrieved in her heart! Her teary eyes are the same as the woman in the painting.

"You shed tears, but in fact, there is something hidden in your heart! You're actually very bitter inside! It's as bitter as eating a yellow lotus, but you have a word of suffering! Shao Yifei's words touched Zhang's mother's heart.

"I know you can't speak, and if you think of the affection between us, then what do I ask you? Is it okay for you to nod or shake your head? Shao Yifei said seriously.

Shao Yifei's seriousness moved Zhang's mother, but Shao Yifei's question made Zhang's mother's expression frightened, and only Shao Yifei asked with questioning: "Zhang's mother!" Have you been made dumb by someone else? Instead of being dumb? ”

Seeing Zhang's mother looking frightened, Shao Yifei was a little distressed, not knowing what she had suffered.

And at this moment, Zhang's mother looked out of the window with a frightened expression, her mouth made a painful sound, and when Shao Yifei looked out the window, she found that a figure jumped and ran away.

"Who is it?" Shao Yifei chased after him, but the man was already gone.

And Zhang's mother had already collapsed to the ground, her body trembled slightly, and when Shao Yifei asked her again, she just shook her head vigorously, as if she was afraid that she had leaked the news.

Seeing Zhang's mother like this, Shao Yifei was even more suspicious.
