The girl named Xi'er said "please" in response and led the way. Su Mu'er bowed slightly towards the fat woman and followed Xi'er towards the backyard.
The group of people walked through a veranda and then through a garden before arriving at a wing in the backyard.
"The old lady is there, you go and see it." Xi'er covered her mouth and pointed to a somewhat dilapidated wing, obviously disgusted.
Su Mu'er couldn't help but frown. This wing seemed to be a bit dilapidated, and the area around the yard seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time.
After Xi'er explained, she left as if running away. Azi couldn't help but tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Miss, it's a bit scary here."
"What are you afraid of? These are places where people live. Go ahead and go in and take a look."
After saying this, she led the way, followed closely by Lang Zhong, Xiao Wu and A Zi.
Raising her hand to push open the door of the wing, she was immediately hit by a strange smell, and she couldn't help but hold her breath and looked inside.
"Who is here?" An old man came out, and Su Muer recognized him. This was the man who gave her a gift when the braised egg shop opened last time.
She stepped forward and bowed, "I am Su Sanya, come to see my second master."
Hearing this, the old man suddenly became excited, "Oh, Sanya, please come in quickly. The old man always talks about you. Our place is a bit messy and there is no place to start. Don't dislike it."
"Very good, where is the second master?" Su Muer smiled lightly as she walked in. The place looked really messy.
"It's time to eat. The old man is energetic today. Maybe he has a premonition that you are coming. Come in quickly."
After the old man finished speaking, he directly led the way. Su Muer followed his guidance and walked towards the inner room.
After passing through a door, there was a thin old man sitting with his back to them. The old man stepped forward and said, "Master, look who is here?"
The second master turned around, looked at her with squinted eyes, shook his head, and replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't recognize her, whose girl is this?"
The old man grinned and said, "This is Sanya, from the eldest man's family."
"Sanya?"
The old man burst into tears when he heard the name. Su Muer took two steps forward, bowed and saluted, "Hello, Second Master."
"Sanya, sit down quickly, sit down quickly." The second master raised his hand to support her and patted the stool beside him.
Su Muer looked up and accidentally saw two big bowls on the table, which contained a bowl of leftover thick flour porridge and a plate of pickles.
"Is this what Second Master eats?" She looked at Second Master's thin and pale face in surprise.
The second master grinned happily, with a weathered face full of wrinkles, "I'm getting older, so it's good to eat some porridge."
Uncle Zhang, who was standing aside, shook his head helplessly, "Hey, to be honest with Third Miss, the Second Master has been eating this for five years."
Five years?
Su Mu'er was stunned and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
Eating this kind of food for three days in a row will make you feel nauseated. How did Erye swallow it after five years of eating it?
Five years? That means that since his father and grandfather were assigned, the second master has been eating glutinous rice here?
This Su Degong is really cruel. Seeing that his father has no use value, he just abandons him. He is really cruel.
The second master stretched out his withered hand and waved towards Uncle Zhang, "I'm not happy to talk to Sanya about this. I haven't seen Sanya for so many years. Don't talk about it when you come here. Sanya, how is your grandmother?"
Su Muer bit her lips and nodded, "Okay, grandma specially asked me to come and see you. By the way, Second Master, I brought the doctor with me and asked him to show you."
Just as the doctor was about to step forward, the second master waved his hand, "No, there's nothing wrong with my old bones. I should have died a long time ago, but I want to live for two more years, and I don't know if I will have the chance to see your grandfather come back.
well."
When he mentioned his grandfather, he raised his clothes and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Su Muer knew that he missed his grandfather. When his grandfather was here, the three brothers often got together. This time, they had not seen each other for several years, and they must feel uncomfortable.
"Second Master, grandpa will come back, Second Master, don't worry,"
"That's good, that's good, Sanya, I've heard what your Uncle Zhang said. Your family has been thanks to you all these years. The second master thanks you on behalf of your grandfather. The second master really didn't expect that he would be able to support this family in the end.
It will be Sanya, I was worried at first."
Speaking of this, he probably thought of the scene when his grandfather was exiled, and actually waved his hand, "I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore."
Uncle Zhang came forward and supported him, "Master, do you want to lie down for a while?"
"No, by the way, take out our steamed bun and give it to Sanya."
Zhang Bo responded cheerfully, then rummaged in the cabinet for a while, then took out an oil paper bag and handed it to the second master.
The second master opened the oil paper bag with trembling hands, "Sanya, your uncle Zhang brought this bun from your hometown. It's delicious. Please try it quickly."
Su Mu'er couldn't help crying when she looked at the blackened dry noodle bun that the second master handed her, but she still took it and took a bite. The bun had an unusually rough texture and was extremely dry and hard.
The second master was reluctant to eat such steamed buns and kept them for guests, even though he might not have any guests here.
"Is it delicious?" The second master looked at her with a grin, and Su Muer nodded.
"It's delicious. Eat more. This thing is very rare. Your grandfather and I were hungry when we were children. It would be great to have a bite of this thing."
Su Mu'er swallowed the steamed bun with difficulty. Old man Zhang on the side could not help but turned around secretly and raised his sleeves to wipe his tears.
"Second Master, why did you move here? Didn't you live in the main house before? Where is my second wife?" A series of questions poured out of Su Muer's mouth.
The second master let out a long sigh, "Your second wife died of illness two years ago. It's good for the second master to live here. He's old and sleeps lightly. It's inconvenient to live in the main house. It's quiet here."
Hearing what he said, Uncle Zhang was unhappy.
"Master, that's not what you said. The second wife would not have died if her anger had not condensed. Besides, this courtyard was originally for servants to live in. You don't know, Miss Third. Ever since the eldest master was assigned, the second master has directly
I was sent here by the eldest young master, and I have been deprived of rice and food since then. This porridge was obtained by selling whatever I could sell."
"Stop talking." The second master roared with a voice that could not make any sound, "It's a nice place here. It's easy for Sanya to come here. Don't cause any trouble for her."
"Master, no one has listened to us for so many years. I will choke myself to death if I don't talk anymore. Miss Third, you don't know. When the bride was getting married in the front yard, the old master secretly took a look, but the young master ordered her to be killed.
He was brought back here and beaten severely. He said he was afraid that the old man would have bad luck if he went out."
Bad luck? Su Muer frowned, "How could they treat the second master like this?"
The second master sat aside and sighed, and simply stopped stopping Uncle Zhang from complaining. He knew Uncle Zhang's temperament, and if he was not allowed to speak out, he would probably get depressed.
"It's not because the eldest master was sent away. He said it affected the feng shui of the family and even announced that Mr. Su Er had ascended to heaven. Don't you think this is what a beast did?"
