After a long day's journey, even though she was sitting in a mule cart and didn't have to walk alone, it was still bumpy and bumpy. Even though old Deng was old, she was indeed very tired.
Finally found the place, entered the door, sat down on the chair, straightened his legs, and leaned on the back of the chair. Seeing the small place and the clean and comfortable house, Old Deng couldn't help but sigh,
"Aqiu, this girl, is very capable."
"I don't know if God will give me face and let your son enjoy this blessing."
She was waiting for tea with her granddaughter-in-law until her eyes turned green.
It's a pity that fate can't be explained clearly.
Li Donggua scratched his head after hearing this, "God has arranged it, and we can't force it. It's our daughter-in-law who can't run away. If not, there's nothing we can do!"
But regardless of whether it is true or not, Cao'er and I treat Aqiu as our own daughter, and we are happy to see that she is so promising and capable."
After that, Li Donggua looked around again and saw that there were firewood piled in the stove house and all the pots and pans were there. He first pulled a bucket of water in from the yard, boiled the water and poured it out to cool and drink.
.
After saying another word to old Mr. Deng, he closed the courtyard door and went out.
When he entered Fangshi first, he saw a small market outside. Since he could cook, he naturally made it himself and got it cheap.
Li Donggua has stayed with the Cheng family for nearly twenty years. She only works in the fields and is not very good at cooking.
After buying something similar and building a fire, old Mr. Deng still had to do it.
Li Donggua was easy to buy, and the mother and son were not picky, so they cooked two large bowls of porridge, stewed cabbage, and simmered in two eggs, and that was dinner.
After eating, Li Donggua tidied up the kitchen, boiled hot water, and gave Old Deng a good foot bath. After washing, the two of them took a room in the east room, and took a rest early.
.
Mrs. Deng got up early the next morning. In fact, she was a little excited. She woke up in the middle of the night and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep again.
I was in a hurry to do something good and rushed home today, so I didn't make breakfast by myself in the morning. Li Donggua locked up the yard, took Old Deng out, and bought two buns from the bun stall in Fangkou.
If there is an older one, it is enough for two people, one for each person, just use it.
While eating, I headed towards the county government office.
Li Donggua was not familiar with other places, but the county government office. The last time he rode an ox cart all the way into the city, he was dazzled, but he still roughly remembered the location of the county government office.
So there was no need to ask, I just looked for it.
There are many prisoners in the county jail, and there are all kinds of prisoners, but as long as they are not some extraordinary prisoners, it is not impossible to visit the prison with a little money.
Li Donggua had been in the Cheng family for a long time and knew the secrets, so he gave the jailer a small piece of silver. Seeing that he just wanted to visit an inconspicuous prisoner, the jailer didn't do anything difficult, so he accepted the money and let the two of them in.
On this day in the twelfth lunar month, the prison cell looked even colder. Walking in, old Mrs. Deng felt as if her whole body was shaking.
Seeing the cells on both sides containing prisoners huddled together, old Deng felt a little scared for no reason when he came back to such a place for the first time.
But when she saw Mr. Zhang in the back, her fear disappeared without a trace, and instead she felt an indescribable feeling.
Once upon a time, she never thought that one day, Mr. Zhang would be like a leprous dog, lying in a dark and cold cell, without seeing the light of day, miserable.
At this moment, old Mr. Deng just wanted to say one thing, it's all retribution.
This cell is at the back of the cell. It is open all day and all night. Except for the jailer who delivers meals, who passes by the door, no one comes there.
Suddenly someone stopped in front of the door. Zhang Laodou inside noticed it and tilted his head to see. He was stunned and couldn't see clearly right away. He only saw two people standing outside looking at him.
He was subconsciously excited. Was this the boss who finally came to see him?
Zhang Laodou, who had been in this cold cell for more than a month, could not do anything, but he worked hard to train and squirm in order to have food to eat every day and not starve to death.
The body that cannot move can crawl forward.
He got excited and squirmed towards the cell door just like the jailer did when he came to serve food.
Halfway through the strenuous climb, I got a clearer view. I saw who the boss was outside, but it was clearly old Mr. Deng and Li Donggua whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Zhang Laodou froze immediately, then stared at the two people outside with venomous eyes, and stopped crawling forward.
"What are you doing here? Are you kidding me? Bah! You rotten bitches, wild bastards! Get out! Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
The person he wanted to see couldn't wait day and night, but the person he didn't want to see suddenly appeared in front of him. Zhang Laodou felt extremely stunned.
After saying that, he turned his face away, neither looking at the two of them nor asking them to look at him.
It was only after Li Donggua entered the county that he found out that his mother had come specifically to see Zhang Lao Dou. She didn't know what his mother wanted to do, so she stood behind her and said nothing.
But looking at the miserable state of Mr. Zhang, I felt very relieved.
He has known since he was a child that Mr. Zhang is not his biological father, so every time he sees Mr. Zhang secretly giving some candies and pastries to Zhang Pumpkin instead of giving them to him and his eldest sister, and he often treats them where his mother cannot see.
Although he was a little sad when he looked at her coldly, he didn't show anything in order to not embarrass his mother.
He also longs for his father's love.
But later, he found out that his biological father was actually killed by Zhang Lao Dou. At that time, he wanted to kill Zhang Lao Dou. If his mother hadn't stopped him, saying that he was too young to defeat Zhang Lao Dou and save his life.
The important thing is that he has already been impulsive.
Therefore, no matter what Mr. Zhang's attitude was later, he was not sad at all.
Mr. Zhang hated them from the bottom of his heart, and he also hated Mr. Zhang from the bottom of his heart.
For so many years, I listened to my mother and endured until the brothers and sisters grew up, and endured until the children grew up safely.
I endured it until Lao Dou Zhang was old and frail.
Finally, I don't have to endure it anymore.
Zhang Laodou deserved his current fate and it was all retribution.
The matter of Qiuhou's interrogation is a foregone conclusion. It just means that Mr. Zhang will live half a year longer. Therefore, Li Donggua is very calm now and has no intention of adding insult to injury. When Mr. Zhang was scolded angrily, he just pretended not to hear it.
On the other hand, Old Deng couldn't help but take a sip as he listened to him talking like a wild bastard, and then rambled on about everything that had happened in the month since he was taken away.
For example, Li Donggua has recognized his ancestors and returned to the Li family and changed his surname to Li. For example, the three sons of the Zhang family have divided their families. What kind of character is the eldest and the third?
After hearing all this, Mr. Zhang was very angry.
My heart also feels cold.
The eldest family is in the county seat now?
So close, why didn't you come see him for so long?
He is so kind to his eldest son and his eldest grandson, and he is so kind to his eldest son.
But when he was imprisoned here, they didn't even take a look at him. Did they still see him as their biological father and grandfather?
Zhang Lao Dou couldn't figure it out, but he didn't want to let the old Deng mother and son see the joke. He just pretended that they couldn't hear it, and cursed and told them to get out of here and not come to visit pretending to be kind.
