157: The daughter-in-law of the Wu family
"Don't blame the father, there are so many things in the shop, so it will be so messy. β
Fan Chengxiang retracted his gaze and shook his head: "The old man is well taken care of." β
He was curious how the old couple could still have the energy to clean up the house with grief-stricken hearts.
Before he could think much about it, the old woman spoke to herself.
"These things were packed up by Ping'er Niang when she was there, and as soon as she left, the old husband and wife had no strength to do these chores. β
Listening to the old woman's mournful tone, Fan Chengxiang's heart rippled.
"Ping'er Niang is a diligent person, but her life is short, and she is only in her early teens, just-" The old woman said and began to wipe away her tears again.
The daughter-in-law's life is short, and the son's life can be much longer.
The old man walked along her back: "Old woman, the guests are still grinning." β
The old woman hurriedly wiped away her tears: "Let Engong see and smile, please come inside." β
After Ping'er cried once, she became extremely well-behaved, and carefully followed her grandmother, never leaving an inch.
Fan Chengxiang nodded slightly, followed the old couple, and walked into the small courtyard behind the shop.
The small courtyard is well kept, with several pots of shallots lined up by the wall, growing densely.
Perhaps because of the lack of potting, the shallots are a little malnourished, the longest is only a handful long, and the shortest is only the length of a finger.
There were three rooms in the courtyard, two of which were open and one was locked, and two sheds were built against the wall, one with a small amount of firewood and the stove in the other.
There is an osmanthus tree in the courtyard that is not less than 100 years old, the osmanthus tree is evergreen in all seasons, the dense leaves are not pruned, and the leaves that grow indiscriminately cover half of the yard.
There was a table of eight immortals under the tree, and the old woman invited a few people to sit on the table of eight immortals, and then went to work in the stove room.
Looking at her busy and rickety figure, Fan Chengxiang's heart welled up.
He thought that maybe the reason why he agreed to come for a meal should be that the old couple gave him a sense of "home".
The big white dog looked left and right, ran to the bottom of the osmanthus tree and crossed his legs and a soak of urine, opened his mouth wide and came back to sit next to Su Zijing.
Su Zijing glanced at it obliquely and secretly kicked it over.
The big white dog's mouth closed, and he leaned towards the mouse daughter-in-law aggrievedly.
Raising his eyes, he just swept Lu Hongxiu's eyes.
Lu Hongxiu was half-lying on the ground in an extremely indecent posture, and the clothes behind his neck were still pinched in his hands by the rat's daughter-in-law.
The big white dog looked at it for a moment, then got up and walked over.
Lu Hongxiu's heart tightened, this big dog didn't want to come over and bite him.
He just picked up a life, but he doesn't want to lose his life again!
Lu Hongxiu's back was stiff, his face was covered with sweat, and he watched nervously as the big white dog got closer and closer to him.
The big white dog paced behind him, back and forth twice, and finally stopped when Lu Hongxiu's legs trembled.
It bit Lu Hongxiu's collar and snatched the person from the rat's daughter-in-law.
The rat's daughter-in-law was stunned, and the big white dog had already carried Lu Hongxiu to the osmanthus tree.
put the person under the osmanthus tree, the big white dog shook his round buttocks, and ran back with his farts upside down.
After seeing where it was placed, Su Zijing's eyes flashed, and when the big white dog sat down again, she acquiesced.
Ping'er giggled, ran into the stove and told the old woman, "Grandma, the big dog threw the town chief on the pee he just dropped. β
The old woman took the time to come out and watch, and said "bah" at Lu Hongxiu, before pulling Ping'er into the stove room.
Fan Chengxiang was very puzzled, obviously he was better to Wangcai than his junior sister, but why was Wangcai more sticky to his junior sister?
Shaking his head, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the old man brought tea and poured three cups.
Su Zijing took the lead in taking a sip.
Whoever calls her the most intelligent mouth, it is most important to take a sip of poison first.
Purse your lips before taking a big sip.
This tea is considered a good thing in the mortal realm, and she can eat delicious dishes with rich aura and "color, flavor, and flavor" with her mouth.
I don't have much interest in this tea, it can quench your thirst, it's not poisonous, it's good.
The old man didn't even treat the big white dog badly, gave it a big porcelain basin, and poured a basin full of water.
After everything was done, the old man sat down, raised his glass and said, "Thank you to the old man for saving my family's only seedling." β
Fan Chengxiang hesitated for a moment, and raised his glass in return: "The old man doesn't need to be polite, eradicating evil is my business." β
"Kindness and righteousness! The old man is grateful, and today he replaces wine with tea and toasts a cup of grace. The old man drank it all.
Fan Chengxiang smiled and also finished drinking the tea in his hand.
When he put down the teacup, the old man hurriedly refilled it.
"Bang bangβ"
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.
The old man's hand shook, the tea spilled out, splashed on the table, and then flowed down the table, wetting Fan Chengxiang's clothes.
"I'm sorryβ"
The old man's apology did not subside, and another shouting sounded at the door.
"Open the door!" was the voice of a middle-aged woman.
Her tone was vicious, and it could be heard from the knocking on the door that this woman was not to be messed with.
The urging was endless, and the old man wanted to open the door, but was pressed on the bench by Fan Chengxiang.
"The old man sat down, and the people outside should be looking for me. β
The old man was puzzled, this voice was very familiar to him, it was the daughter-in-law of the Wu family in Wutong Lane.
The Wu family's daughter-in-law's pungency has been heard by the whole town.
Engong and the others have just arrived, how could this daughter-in-law of the Wu family come to him?
Seeing that the old man was puzzled, Fan Chengxiang sneered, and he also wanted to know why the women outside were coming at him.
The daughter-in-law of the Wu family outside the door had a face, her eyes were hanging down, her eyebrows were drooping, her lips were blue and black, and she looked bitter;
"Open the door, open the door for the old lady!"
At this time, many people stood on the street and watched, and someone said: "Sister-in-law of the Wu family, stop it." β
"Get out of your mother! Your child is home, you are naturally happy, but what about my son? My son can't be found now!" the daughter-in-law of the Wu family turned her head and spat out.
The spit flew right at the speaker's feet.
The man's face was ugly, and he took two steps back with his child in his arms tightly.
Seeing that the man was no longer talking, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family snorted fiercely, turned her head and continued to knock.
"Open the door!
"Squeak-"
The daughter-in-law of the Wu family was empty, and her clenched fist almost hit Fan Chengxiang's chest.
A small white hand quickly stretched out from Fan Chengxiang's side, tightly pinching the rough and dark wrist of the Wu family's daughter-in-law.
The comparison between the two made the daughter-in-law of the Wu family embarrassed, forcibly took back her hand, looked at Fan Chengxiang and shouted: "You are the one who arrested Mayor Lu?"
Fan Chengxiang turned sideways, and something was thrown out of the house.
A muffled snort caught the attention of the people.
When I looked to the ground, I saw a man lying on the ground face on the ground.
They couldn't be more familiar with that outfit, who is this "thing" that was thrown out if it wasn't Mayor Lu?
Someone screamed, "This is Mayor Luβ"
When the crowd heard this, they panicked and retreated.
