When Lin Jiuniang walked into Mujuan's room, Mujuan, who had a sweat towel wrapped around her head, was holding on to the wall and walking slowly toward the door. "What are you doing?"
Lin Jiuniang frowned, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes, "Don't stay in bed properly."
After raising her for so many days, she is still so weak. The more she looks at her, the more disgusted she becomes. Mujuan lowered her head, looking guilty, "I'm sorry, it's all me who caused you trouble. It's all my fault that my health is not up to par, I...
"Okay, I'm not here to see you crying," Lin Jiuniang was impatient. She hated people who only cried when things happened. "I said, I only care about you for forty days, starting from the day you were born.
, six days have passed so far, and there are still thirty-four days left. I remember them all."
Mujuan raised her head, moved her mouth, and then lowered her head again. She couldn't even breathe out a fart, and Lin Jiuniang was not interested in following her here, so she threw the cloth bag she was holding on the bed. "There is some rice in it."
As well as some other food and two pieces of cloth, you can take care of it yourself."
After saying that, she turned around and left. She didn't even bother to look at Liu Zhenzhen this time. Seeing that she was about to leave, Mu Juan was a little flustered, "Mom..." Seeing Lin Jiuniang stop, she bit her lower lip and cautiously
Asked: "Mom, are you disappointed?"
"Why should I be disappointed in you?"
Lin Jiuniang smiled and turned around with a careless look in her eyes, "You are not worthy of my disappointment, because... I never have any expectations for you, understand?"
After saying that, she turned around and opened the door and walked out. Mu Juan's tears finally couldn't help but fall down. She didn't know why, she just wanted to cry, and the more she cried, the more she felt wronged. Zhao Qinglan walked in and saw Mu Juan crying.
, hurriedly walked over and helped her back to the bed: "Sister-in-law, why are you crying?"
"Qinglan, I...am I useless?"
Mu Juan covered her chest, she felt really uncomfortable. "Nothing," Zhao Qinglan said a little disappointed. She had just heard their mother-in-law's words. She also felt uncomfortable. Precisely because their mother-in-law never had any expectations for them,
So you won't be disappointed at all, right? Mujuan cried and shook her head, "Qinglan, it's me, I'm so bad, I..." "Okay, don't say it," Zhao Qinglan's mood was also a little...
Unsteady, she stood up straight and her voice was a bit loud. Mujuan was also startled by her reaction. She forgot to cry and looked at Zhao Qinglan stupidly. Zhao Qinglan realized that her emotions were too volatile, and her face showed
With a hint of annoyance, he waved his hand and couldn't help but apologize: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just that there have been a lot of things in the past two days, and I can't control my emotions."
Seeing Mu Juan still staring at her stupidly, Zhao Qinglan couldn't help scratching her head irritably. Finally she couldn't help it anymore and looked at her seriously: "Sister-in-law, it's not what I wanted to say to you.
.Since we know that we are not doing well, we should try to change. There is really no use crying. Moreover, I have also discovered that saying no to others is not that difficult."
Zhao Qinglan's eyes became firm. She might have been scared when she said it for the first time, but after the second time, she no longer felt this way. She looked at Mu Juan seriously, "I rejected the old woman, and I told her
I can’t say it, it’s not that difficult, really.”
Mu Juan's mouth opened wide in an instant. She had heard the movement, but she didn't know the details. Now that she heard her say that, she felt confused for a moment. Did Qinglan really reject the old woman in person? Zhao Qinglan was very serious.
Looking at Mu Juan, "I don't know what you think, but I've had enough. I've had enough of being bullied by that old woman all day long. We can't live any longer. She doesn't help us, but she comes to bully us."
Wuni disappeared. Erlang has been busy looking for people these days and has no time to look for food. There is not much food in the house. As for her, it’s okay if she doesn’t help. She comes here every day to eat and drink, and
I can't bear to waste food. My Erlang saved all that with his life. He can't bear to take another bite and is so thin that he loses his appearance. Why should he be wasted by that old thing?"
Zhao Qinglan sniffed and controlled the grievance in her heart: "I don't care now. Let others make irresponsible remarks. In short, I don't allow that old woman to continue to exploit us. I am tired enough now. I
I’m really, really tired.”
Mu Juan's eyes turned red, "Qinglan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I..." "That's enough!"
Zhao Qinglan interrupted her and shook her head in disappointment: "I'm telling you this not because I want to hear your apology, do you understand? No wonder my mother-in-law is angry, and I am angry now. When something happens, you only know how to say sorry, and
What's the use of complaining about yourself? What we need is change, change, understand?"
After saying that, Zhao Qinglan strode outside angrily. If she stayed any longer, she would really go crazy. Now she finally understood what her mother-in-law's eyes conveyed when she left, and she was furious. Mu Juan looked at her eyes blankly.
In the direction of the door, did she do something wrong? She couldn't hold it back, she lay on the bed and started crying... Lin Jiuniang, after coming out of Liu's house, got on her horse and galloped towards the entrance of the village.
. As soon as they left the village, they met Gu Dongsheng who had returned from outside the village, and learned from his mouth that they had visited all the nearby villages in the past three days to inquire about information, but after finding no useful information, their hearts sank.
Go down. Gu Dongsheng sighed, "Ms. Lin, we have tried our best. We have been searching for three days, but there is no news. If it is not an accident, it is that someone was kidnapped and left Anle Town. Damn Paihuazi, this world is still like this
Rampant, damn it.”
At the end of Gu Dongsheng's words, he started to gnash his teeth, as if he wanted to kill someone. Lin Jiuniang was silent and shook her head, "It's not about patting flowers. The world is difficult and there is no place for patting flowers here. Now in order to survive, I have to sell
There are countless people who sell their sons and daughters, and they don’t need to take risks.”
Gu Dongsheng thought about it, and it was true. In several nearby villages, there were rumors every day that someone had sold which girl, and which boy had been sold. But after searching for so many days, he still hadn't found anyone. Could it be that something unexpected had happened? He was a little worried.
After uneasily expressing this guess, Lin Jiuniang shook her head again: "If you want to see someone alive or see a body dead, I will go to the county government office to find Mr. Zhao."
After saying that, he got on his horse, said thank you to Gu Dongsheng, and rode away quickly. Lin Jiuniang rushed all the way to the county government office. She ignored the depression in Anle Town and the cries of pain coming from all over the streets. It was not that she didn't.
Sympathy, but in this world where the environment is too busy to take care of oneself, who can still have sympathy and pity for others? In other words, if I pity others, who will pity me? She led the horse and broke into the county government office directly, alarming the people who were working with him.
Zhao Dezhi was discussing the matter with his subordinates. "My lord, my subordinates were incompetent and did not stop me. Please punish me." The officer looked ashamed. "You don't have to blame him. I didn't have time to wait for him to slowly report to you, so I broke in."
, Your Excellency, you won't be offended," Lin Jiuniang said calmly. "Of course not," Zhao Dezhi smiled bitterly, waving for the yamen servants and others to go down first. Then he looked at Lin Jiuniang with resigned eyes, "You are here for your daughter Liu Wuni, right?
?”
"Master Zhao knows?"
"When your daughter disappeared, Gu Changan came to see me immediately," Zhao Dezhi sighed, "Jiuniang, you have to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid your daughter is gone."
Lin Jiuniang kept looking at Zhao Dezhi. After seeing him panic and move his eyes away, not daring to look directly at her, she closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, those eyes became extremely cold: "Master Zhao, I helped.
There are so many people in Anle Town. Isn’t it too much to give you some compensation or something now?"
