Volume Two, Chapter Three Hundred and Twelve, The Reason
The fifth aunt, sixth aunt, seventh aunt, and Chu Yunrui were staying in the bedroom of the old house together. Under the dim light, Old Chu supported himself on the table and pressed his eyebrows with a headache. The broken limbs and arms on the ground I met today also gave him a great impact. Although he did not show it in front of his sixth aunt and Yan Shumo, after drinking some wine in the evening, he felt his temples pounding and his headache was very bad.
"Brother, I want to stay!" The person who spoke was the fifth aunt. The fifth aunt looked different from the other siblings, and she looked more like grandma. Chu Yunrui and others looked more like grandpa. The most obvious difference was their hair. Lao Chu and others had some slightly curly hair, which was also inherited from Chu Chengmu, but the fifth aunt's hair was straight.
Old Chu was a little surprised when he heard this. He expected that Lao Qi's family would stay. From the fact that Lao Qi's family had returned, it can be seen that Lao Wu's family was at most important to participate. Wang Lu's father was just a little white-faced person who was lying down and was not willing to come back. There was no other explanation except that the other party was unwilling to come back. Why did such a lazy person who was so frustrated that he would not accompany his wife to his parents' home during the New Year.
"What happened?" Old Chu looked at the expressions of several sisters. Lao Qi looked calm. It was obvious that they seemed to have discussed it privately, but Lao Liu was just like him, with a look of surprise.
"Brother!" the fifth aunt gritted her teeth.
"I want to recognize the orphan left by Jianning as my goddaughter!"
Old Chu felt even more surprised when he heard this. He waved his hand and stopped him, "Don't worry about this. What's going on? Tell me from beginning to end!"
"I'll talk about this!" Seeing his fifth sister looking embarrassed, the seventh aunt said.
Old Chu nodded and signaled her to continue.
"A few months before this incident, brother, you know that the fifth sister opened several dance halls, some opened in Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture, and one opened in Yunnan. It was said to be a dance hall, but in fact it also brought some other services. This happened in Yunnan!" Lao Qi was quite hesitant in his words, but what Lao Chu never knew.
"Because the ultraviolet rays there are quite strong and all of them are tanned and worn out, most of the girls who go there to work in this industry come from us. In the past few months, there was a woman in Yunnan who did not do the safety measures in order to make money and became infected with that disease!"
When Lao Qi said this, his face turned red. He looked up at Lao Chu with a gray face, but he didn't dare to continue talking. The three of them did not starve to death when they were young. Old Chu took most of the credit, saying that it was his elder brother like his father. This is not an exaggeration to Lao Chu at all.
"Next, let me talk!" Lao Wu saw Lao Qi's scared expression and gritted his teeth. Things had already happened, and there was nothing to escape.
"The store is quite far away from us. I don't pay much attention to it. I just took the bus for three or four hours. At that time, Wang Lu's grandfather was not in good health. I couldn't leave for a while, so I asked Qimei to come over to help me see what was going on. As a result, Qimei came back and told me that the woman was Chu Jianning's wife in our village. I rushed over overnight. Later, I gave her five thousand yuan to treat her and told her not to do this, so I opened her!"
"Brother, I swear, I didn't know at all that this woman was from our village, nor when she entered the store. Later, after asking around, I found out that she was doing foot massages there at the beginning, but later, I went to work there at some point. I had been going to work there at first, and it took seven or eight hours every time I went back and forth. Except for collecting the bill once a month, Wang Lu and his aunt were usually helping with it. If Qimei hadn't come over and took a look, I wouldn't know until now!"
After hearing this, Lao Chu's expression on his face became even more gloomy. He stood up and looked outside the bedroom. He found that no one came over. He carefully closed the bedroom door and locked it from inside. He then sat back to the previous position. Looking at his fifth sister, he sighed and asked:
“How long have you been doing it?”
"It's been a few years!" the fifth aunt replied.
"When I passed by a few times, your sister-in-law and I also visited your dance hall during the day. Why didn't we see it at all? We were doing it at that time?" Lao Chu asked.
"Well, I was doing it at that time. During the day, the women were not in the store and rested in other places. They came to work at night. Didn't you ask me where the small door behind the dance hall leads? I told you it was a safe passage. In fact, there was a small room separated by, and they would make money there at night!"
At this point, when my elder brother asked, my fifth aunt answered honestly.
"You are really careful! I remember when you were a child, I never taught you these things. You forgot what life did I live with Brother Pao?" Old Chu couldn't help but shook his head and said when he heard this.
When the fifth aunt heard this, she suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she was covered in wounds every time when Lao Chu came back, and she couldn't help but shed tears:
"Brother, I have no choice. You know that I used to do wholesale clothing transactions there, but I can't stand Wang Lu's father's prodigality. The family, the old, the young, the sick, the weak, all pressed on my shoulders. Apart from these evil ways, I can't support the expenses of such a big family. Look at what I have bought for myself over the years, and the clothes I have bought from the previous year."
Seeing that his fifth sister was crying loudly, Old Chu felt distressed and waved his hand and said:
"Stop crying, things have already happened, so I should think about how to deal with the aftermath. This time, it's about Chu Jianning's wife. Who else knows except you and Qi Mei?"
Lao Qi and Lao Wu looked at each other and shook their heads together. Lao Wu said, "It should be just us that Wang Lu's aunt thought I just drove the sick person out. I don't know what I gave me, so I shouldn't have doubts. Chu Jianning's wife heard from Liu Mei that she came from outside. We haven't come back frequently in so many years, and she wouldn't know that we were from our village! If it weren't for the ancestor worship of her two years ago, Liu Mei took a photo and sent it to her, Qi Mei wouldn't know that it was Chu Jianning's wife!"
The sixth aunt recalled after hearing this, nodded, and said to Lao Chu: "I remember this. Chu Jianning's family had a family member. She was originally a daughter and didn't allow her to take photos. As a result, his wife was unhappy and started to make a fuss. She took photos for her. I also told Qi Mei about this!"
Old Chu sighed and said:
"Hey, since no one knows about it, you guys will just rot into your stomach. Otherwise, it's not just you, but also your father and mother, you won't be here in the future. As for taking Chu Jianning's daughter as your goddaughter, I'll talk about it later. Now it's turbulent, don't rush up early. Don't feel too guilty, after all, no one can guess that her daughter is so big, she'll go out to do this. But this is really a coincidence. Why did such a big Yunnan go to your place!"
When the sixth aunt heard Lao Chu say something coincidental, she thought for a while and said:
"I heard that Jianning's wife was originally from Yunnan. This time she went out on the pretext of going back to her parents' home. According to the rules there, it was equivalent to selling her daughter. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have let her go back. However, Jianning's father could not resist her begging him so much, so she let her go out. But he didn't know that she had been there for so long. Chu Jianning had a big fight with his father for this!"
After hearing this for a long time, the eldest brother had an explanation, so he couldn't help saying: "Why is Chu Jianning so mean? Even if his wife goes out and gets sick, she can't get a divorce at all. After all, the child is still so young, can she be a victim of his life? What can the family of old and small in the future do?"
Old Chu glared at her. The two sisters had caused trouble outside. Now they are still blaming others for being rude? He said:
"Chu Jianning is a few years older than Zhang Miao. His brain has been ineffective since childhood. He has never been able to talk about his wife. The media women around him have said it all. When they heard that they had burned their brains when they were young, they were unwilling to marry their daughter. They finally had a wife, and this happened. Who would be able to think about it? Especially since he was already scheming, your fifth sister caused trouble and slowly compensated her in the future. It's not your turn to excuse her!"
When the eldest brother scolded, the seventh brother shrank his head and did not dare to say anything. However, the sixth aunt suddenly burst into a big melon and said thoughtfully:
"I heard from the barefoot doctor Zhang Erwa in the village that Chu Jianning's father also went to his place to get the medicine and penicillin, and it seemed that he had the disease!"
As soon as these words came out, all the people in the room were silenced.
The four brothers and sisters looked at each other, and they jumped away from the topic just now with a tacit understanding. Old Chu asked:
"Fifth sister, what are you planning for the future? If you come back, don't you plan to care about the family over there?"
When the fifth aunt heard this, she shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly:
"I went back after the New Year this time, and I planned to close all the dance halls in my family. Chu Jianning happened under our noses. Even if it was as Liu Mei said, there might be other factors involved, but the cause was always with me. Moreover, the result was a little tragic, not to mention, those things that did not happen under my nose, but I don't know that there might have happened. Stay here and see if I can help, just treat it as atonement!"
"It's not that I don't plan to take care of it anymore, but I don't have the ability to take care of it anymore. Originally, Wang Lu's grandmother has always looked down on me. I have paid enough for their family over the years. I used to have no other way to go. Now Xiao Mu has given me a chance. I plan to try it. I hope that after so many years, the ability to grow crops has not yet been lost! As for Wang Lu'er, if he is willing to come back with me, then come back. If he doesn't want to come back, let him stay in his hometown. I'm not young anymore, how many years can I do? His father is a prodigal son again. If he returns here, I might be able to save some things for his children!"
At the same time, in the main hall, Chu Chengmu and Yan Shumo were laying the bed. The two of them moved the dining table aside, took out a few benches and placed them on them, then placed the cold plate on the benches, and then evenly covered the straw throughout the cold plate. The dry straw was filled with the fragrance of the sun.
"Old Chu!" Yan Shumo held a mattress in his hand and stood aside, waiting for Chu Chengmu to adjust the thickness of the straw. If this thing is unevenly spread, he will not be able to stand it when he wakes up at night.
"Hmm?" After Tiantian reduced for a while, Chu Chengmu baled the excess straw aside, signaling Yan Shumo to put the mattress on.
"What does it feel like to make a lot of money?" Yan Shumo asked.
"I didn't feel anything. I was a little excited at first, but I didn't feel anything later. What I had to say should be tired!" Chu Chengmu took the mattress and said carelessly.
"Tired?" Yan Shumo helped to hold the two corners of the mattress, wondering.
"Well, I'm tired and earning money. I can only live in a better house, drive a better car, and eat better things. In fact, I can spend a lot of money on my daily life. You know my personality. Compared to these things, I prefer not to go anywhere. I stay at home for a whole day, read novels, play games, etc. But in fact, I haven't even touched online games since before the college entrance examination!" Chu Chengmu explained.
