Goudan was upset by her crying. After all, thinking that his mother loved him, he hesitated and took out all the coins on his body.
"If dad is not caught, he won't be able to take money home. How can we and my mother live the same life? Mom, you see, I can also make money. If I do more good deeds in the future, I can get a lot of money and I won't be hungry.
It’s for the two of us, mother, please stop crying.”
Do good deeds and get money?
Mrs. Liu looked at her son as if she didn't recognize him, and her tears flowed even more fiercely, "Oh my god! What's wrong with you?"
Is your mind confused?
You endured the heartache and took out all the copper coins, and you are still crying?
Goudan frowned, thought for a while, and ran out the door.
When the two families close to Mo's house heard Mrs. Liu's pitiful cry, they shook their heads and said, "Oh, if you had known this, why did you do it in the first place? Who told you that you, a man, don't learn well and don't do anything bad, but you have to steal things?"
As long as Mrs. Liu is a normal person, these fellow villagers will not sympathize with her at all.
Now that I'm crying like this, they pretend they can't hear me anymore.
The village chief had just said that if it weren't for the sake of their orphans and widowed mother, they would have driven her family out of the village.
Anyway, let's take a note of her first. If Ms. Liu doesn't live a good life in the future, she will be punished.
Mrs. Liu was still sitting on the ground crying, very sad, but her son, who had run out earlier, came back again.
Holding a piece of pork, he smiled at her and said, "Mom! I went to the butcher Wang in Qingshan Village next door to cut a piece of pork! Let's stew it today to celebrate the New Year!"
Mrs. Liu's eyes were dazzled, "Mo Goudan! Are you still my son? Your father has been taken away, and you are still celebrating the New Year! Let's see if I don't beat you to death today!"
Saying that, he stood up and started to slap him.
Goudan avoided it and stared at her angrily, "You are not my mother!"
After roaring, he didn't stand and wait for her to hit him, he picked up the meat and ran out again, leaving only Liu in the wind.
Liu's forehead jumped, but she couldn't resist the weakness of her heart. She tilted her whole body to the ground and lost all strength.
Goudan ran out of the house with the meat in his hands. He was scorched by the scorching sun above his head and woke up. He couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of his home.
It was empty over there, and his mother didn't chase him out.
Mom doesn’t love him anymore!
Hum hum!
Goudan stamped his feet heavily and continued running forward without looking back this time.
He ran all the way to the door of Xu's house.
The workshop is on holiday today, so there is no need to prepare workers' meals in the Xu family yard today. Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Ma are busy in the kitchen making lunch for the family, and Xu Wuya is learning how to read with Xu Yinyin.
Goudan stood at the door and couldn't see Xu Yinyin, but heard Xu Yinyin's voice.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he unconsciously started chanting: "Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides."
"Hanlai..."
After reading it several times, he finally realized what he was saying. He couldn't help but touch his mouth, then shook his head, looked at the meat in his hand, paused, then turned and ran away.
Finally, carrying the meat, he simply ran up the back mountain, gathered firewood, made a fire, and roasted a whole piece of pork by himself.
Xixin brought the cooled honey water into the house and gave Xu Yinyin and Xu Wuya a glass each. Then Fu Er told Xu Yinyin about Goudan's situation.
Xu Yinyin listened, took a sip of water, nodded slightly to show that she understood, but didn't say anything.
Let’s see later.
Liu's mother and son are from a womanly family and know nothing. The other is too young to carry shoulders and hands, and they have no relatives here. If they were driven out of the village, they would probably not be able to survive.
Going down.
Mo Dazhuang, the two men on the left and right, have already been sent to the cell, so there is no harm in leaving mother and son to have a look first.
Every household in the village will help keep an eye on them from now on, and nothing can be found.
For the sake of the child Goudan, she still kept her hand.
…
Because the person who reported the crime was the Xu family, and there were not many cases at the moment, the sentencing of Mo Dazhuang and others came very quickly, and the case was closed within two days.
The principal criminal, Mo Dazhuang, was sentenced to three thousand miles of exile and three years of service, while the other accomplices were sentenced to twenty sticks and one year of probation.
Mo Dazhuang screamed in court that he was wronged, and spoke indiscriminately. He was slapped again, and was dragged into prison. Within two days, he was escorted by officers on the road.
On the day they set out on the road, Mr. Liu took Goudan and waited outside the city gate to see him off. Because Mo Dazhuang was exiled to Lingnan, he was about to leave the city in this direction.
Seeing her man wearing a shackle and an anklet and bracelet, Mrs. Liu burst into tears again.
In the past few days, she went to beg the Xu family every day, but the Xu family was determined and refused to forgive her.
Without money, Mrs. Liu could only follow from a distance and talk to Mo Dazhuang from a distance, "Dad, what will happen to me and Goudan when you are exiled? Just tell the official where that guy is, ah?"
"
Mo Dazhuang was slapped and his mouth was still swollen. Seeing that his mother-in-law still said the same thing, he didn't want to pay attention to her at all.
But looking at his only son, he still endured the pain and said, "Take good care of Goudan and wait for me to come back."
It’s only been three years, he can afford it!
Even after this, the man still refused to say anything. While Mrs. Liu was sad, she couldn't help but think of the abnormality before.
The man goes out for at least half a month at a time, saying that he knows a brother who has connections outside and can earn money, but after half a year, he doesn't get much money back.
Where did the money go?
Could it be that you have something planned outside?
Yes, it must be! More than once, the dead man disliked her for being too thin and old. He fled here and never touched her at all. Isn't this because she was in love?
So the stolen goods were given to the sweetheart, right?
Wow! You are so strong, you don’t care about your mother-in-law and son, but you only care about the vixen outside!
The more Ms. Liu thought about it, the angrier she became. Her eyes were red. She couldn't help but pounce on Mo Dazhuang, wanting to grab Mo Dazhuang and ask clearly where the vixen was. She wanted to get the goods back, and even if she kept them, she should leave them to their mother and son.
right!
When the escorting officer saw Ms. Liu and rushed towards her without saying a word, he thought she was going to rob the prisoner. As it was his duty, he immediately drew his sword and said, "Stop! If you dare to take a step forward, I will kill you without mercy!"
Mrs. Liu was frightened by the knife and stopped. She didn't dare to step forward anymore. She just yelled at Mo Dazhuang: "Mo Dazhuang, you are not a human! You are stealing people behind my back!"
Mo Dazhuang:...stinky bitch!
In the end, Mo Dazhuang was escorted away by the officers, and the couple never said another word. They never thought that this farewell would be an eternal farewell.
Mrs. Liu was still yelling in the direction of leaving. Goudan was confused. His father had a lover outside? Sure enough, his father was not a good person!
Although my mother has been acting very strange these days, she is just such a mother, so I can’t let go of her.
Thinking like this, Goudan took Ms. Liu's hand, shook it, and said: "Mom, you still have me. I will make more money in the future and I will support you!"
Mrs. Liu looked at her son, thinking that the man had been raising his sweetheart outside for more than half a year, and it was impossible to even have a son. She cried sadly.
It took her a long time to become strong. Yes, she still has a son. Men are unreliable. From now on, she can only rely on her son!
She had to raise her son and find a wife for him so that he would have someone to take care of him when he was old.
Mrs. Liu pulled her son to stand up and led him back to the village, "Goudan, you're right, mom still has you! From now on, we two will live a good life, and we won't miss that bastard of your father anymore."
