The refugees were running around. The two gangsters were natives of Kulai Town. They took the initiative to join in the night chase earlier. Li Dahu was quite grateful. Now that these two people have disappeared with them, they must be with those
It was agreed beforehand.
I didn't expect that some of the people chasing him were colluding with them. After realizing it, everyone was extremely angry. However, there was nothing they could do if they couldn't find anyone.
Moreover, Mr. Tian fell ill when he came back.
She didn't get sick on a summer night, mainly because she was left with only her underwear, and the group was all men. Even if they stayed away from her on the way back, she still felt embarrassed. She was shocked, ashamed, and worried.
He fell ill.
It's a bad thing to lose a child. Now that everyone has left Kulai Town, if it had been someone else, they might not have found it. But Li Dahu only had this seed, so how could he not find it?
However, everyone who went with him last night was beaten up. Even if Li Dahu insisted on looking for his son, there were not many people in the town who wanted to help him. Finally, there were two people who were willing. After seeing that there were not many people to help,
After that, he also backed down.
In the end, only Li Dahu himself was left.
He has really seen enough of the warmth and coldness of people in the past two days. In the past, he was enthusiastic and would help whenever someone asked for help. Today, if someone else's child was lost, he would definitely go and find it together. However,
In the past two days, he discovered that those who tried their best to help basically didn't show up, and those who were not familiar with him were actually quite enthusiastic.
No matter how sad I feel, I still want to find my son.
He planned to go all the way to the county seat. If he didn't find them on the way, he would go to the county seat to report the crime.
This kind of person who steals children and robs money has a bad nature, and the official will definitely take care of it. This is the idea that the mayor came up with for him.
After packing his luggage, Li Dahu left. As for Tian, he asked Zhaoxi to come back and take care of him.
Zhaoxi was dressed in blue cloth, and his hair was only tied with a white hairband. He was really simple, his whole person was much gloomy, and he didn't say hello to anyone.
Tian's illness became more and more serious, and that day he actually wanted to see Chu Yunli.
Seeing Zhao Xi again, Li Xiangxiang was a little dazed, but quickly came to her senses, "What are you doing here?"
"My mother wants to meet Aunt Liu."
Chu Yunli was still happy to see the Tian family in desolation. She stepped into the Li family again and entered Liu Yuniang's room. The woman on the bed looked haggard, with blue eyes.
Chu Yunli frowned slightly, took two steps forward, looked at her nails and her face, felt her pulse without any trace, and glanced at the sign at the door in surprise.
Zhaoxi looked at them with a cold face, leaning against the door frame.
Tian was panting and holding her hand tightly, "Yu Niang, I'm sorry for you. All the mistakes you made are my fault. The child is innocent. I just ask you to treat my child well in the future..."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows, "He lives on West Street and I live on East Street. How can I help you take care of him? Besides, why should I help you take care of him?"
Tian was speechless, and after a while she said, "When I'm gone, won't you come back?" A normal woman would have to find a man.
This was quite funny, and Chu Yunli actually laughed out loud, "I live well in Dongjie, why do I want to come back?" She bent down and leaned into Tian's ear, whispering, "I've had enough.
He is such a bad guy, even without you, I would still leave."
Tian looked at her in surprise.
Chu Yunli sat up straight, looked at her face for a long time, bent down again, and whispered, "I think your illness... doesn't look like an illness. Does your daughter really take care of you? You look like this,
Those who didn’t know better thought you had eaten rat poison by mistake…”
The tone was meaningful, Tian's pupils on the bed shrank slightly, looking at the invitation at the door, his hands on the bed trembled slightly, his lips twitched, and he was speechless for a long time.
Her daughter wants to kill her!
Chu Yunli said this deliberately. She was not interested in watching mother and daughter look at each other. She stood up and said, "No matter you die or not, no matter who Li Dahu marries, I will never come back in this life. Your son,
It's better to find someone else to take care of it for you." It remains to be seen whether it can be retrieved.
She stood up and went out, but Tian didn't look at her again, but looked at Zhao Xi at the door. It took a long time before she found her voice, "You want to kill me?"
Zhao Xi didn't refute, but instead looked at her mockingly and walked closer, "Mom, you think you're smart, but you're actually not as smart as Aunt Liu. What you tried so hard to get is actually what she doesn't want. You took it from someone else."
If you are complacent about unnecessary things, people will laugh at you for some reason... Hahahaha..."
She laughed so much that her tears flowed out, and she reached out to wipe them away.
"Why?" Ms. Tian really didn't understand. In order to buy a dowry for her daughter, she even sold the only yard she owned. She thought she was good enough for her daughter.
Zhao Xi laughed enough and said fiercely, "You have the nerve to ask me? It's all because of you that I've fallen to this point!"
"You insist on marrying, and you're marrying a bastard!" Zhao Xi came closer and closer, staring into her eyes, "You accidentally killed Old Man Zhang, and you want me to help you atone for your sin. Your son is very important to you, right?"
She spread her hands and said, "It's a pity it's gone."
"Xiao Shan?" Mrs. Tian was confused. She had never thought that the loss of her son was related to her daughter. Now when she heard her mention it, she managed to stand up and grabbed her sleeve, "Where is he!
you tell me!"
"I was taken away by those people." Zhao Xi spread his hands, "It's just that I accidentally discovered that a couple among them had no children, and I kindly showed them the way. Moreover, you and your wife will definitely find a way to save them and save money.
Redeeming people... Once they take the money, they will have enough money to raise their son. How great!"
Tian was so angry that he grabbed her tightly and said, "You bastard!"
Zhao Xi had slept next to someone like Zhang Laoer for so long, and Tian's cruelty meant nothing. He sneered, "It's all because of you that I'm a bastard. If I'm a bastard again, it's all because of you."
"And, there is something even more stupid. Do you want to live? Do you want to see your son again?"
Tian looked at her daughter with fear in her eyes, "What do you want to do?"
Zhao Xixiao looked at her, his eyes full of madness, "You should stop thinking now. You will never see your son again in this life."
Hearing this, Mrs. Tian just felt that she had sent her child far away and could not be found. Just as he was about to give some advice, she heard her continue, "Besides, in this life, you will never want to see anyone else alive except me!"
No one knows what happened to the Li family.
Li Dahu went to the county town for two months. One month after he left, Mr. Tian lost his son because he was too worried.
Even if he didn't come back, Zhao Xi still arranged to bury his mother. It was said that Tian's appearance was in poor condition, and she was completely thin and out of shape, and her former appearance was almost gone.
I don’t know when, people in the town secretly said that although Zhaoxi was pitiful, it was also ominous. After marrying into the Zhang family, the entire Zhang family was gone within a year. When she came back to take care of her mother, she was caught by the cold.
, I took care of her for a month, and my mother is gone.
Over in the county town, Li Dahu didn't find anyone all the way, so he directly found someone to write a petition and handed it to the Yamen. Even in the county town, there were not many such bad things, and if officials wanted to be promoted, they had to have big cases.
The county magistrate took it very seriously and ordered people to search. Because of the large number of people, the group had a big target. It didn't take long before they were caught in a village not far from the county seat.
There was indeed Li Dahu's son inside, but because they were in a hurry and didn't take much care of him, the child had a high fever when they found him and was about to die. The magistrate hired a famous doctor in the county to save him.
A small life.
Although the child's life was saved, his eyes were not as alert as before, and he seemed to be slow to react and a little stupid.
Among the group of people, there were not two bastards from Kulai Town. These people were indeed victims of the disaster. They were wandering from town to town in need of food. The magistrate recruited them all as soon as they interrogated them.
They usually only committed petty thefts, and the most outrageous things they did were stealing children and robbing money. This was enough, and the whole group was sent to prison and sentenced according to their crimes.
They recruited them here. The two gangsters who participated in the robbery of the money and Zhao Xi who came up with the idea didn't hide it. The magistrate immediately sent people to Ku Lai Town to arrest them.
Holding his son in his arms, Li Dahu was in a daze, and he never thought that there was something about bringing happiness here.
He thought he was good enough to Zhao Xi, even better than his own wife and daughter. The most vivid memory was the time with Li. In order to get medicine for Zhao Xi, he took all the copper coins at home and left Liu Yuniang to take care of herself in bed, which completely chilled her.
.
Forget it all, I don’t ask her to be grateful, but Xiaoshan is her half-brother!
There is absolutely no humanity at all!
Before Li Dahu could return home, the officials sent by the county magistrate arrived and took away two gangsters hiding in the mountains, and... Zhao Xi.
The arrival of the government official was a rare thing for Kulai Town. Some people had never seen it before in their lives, and there were quite a lot of people watching. I never expected that Zhao Xi would be so ruthless as to personally instruct someone to take away his brother.
, everyone is talking, and many people think that it is not surprising that she looks like this if she has such a vicious mother.
When Zhaoxi was taken away, unlike the two bastards who kept begging for mercy, she was quite calm. In a blink of an eye, she saw Li Xiangxiang in the crowd and said, "Actually, I envy you."
No one took it seriously. Li Xiangxiang's current life was not only envied by her, but also by all the girls on West Street.
But Li Xiangxiang knew that Zhao Xi did not refer to a comfortable life, but to her mother.
She has the best mother in the world!
Li Dahu ran for three months and finally rescued his son, but his son was stupid.
He still sold meat as usual, but after having a daughter like Zhaoxi, his business was somewhat affected. Because he could not recover the stolen money, someone in the county donated some to him, which was exactly five taels. He
Return the money to the mayor. Except for the food and drink between the father and son, all the money earned in daily life will be returned to Chu Yunli.
Because he was in debt, he no longer gave away meat to others. When those who had benefited from him came to complain about their poverty, he would also sigh with pity, but the cashier was not merciful at all.
Spring passed and autumn came, and two years later, the Du's Restaurant on East Street became the Du's Restaurant. It was also the same year that Chu Yunli came to propose marriage with a matchmaker.
Everyone was surprised. At first, when they saw Li Xiangxiang and Du You getting close, they all thought something good was coming, but they didn't expect that they were actually asking for a bride. However, Du You was willing to marry Li Xiangxiang, as if he couldn't wait to "marry" Li Xiangxiang.
Li Xiangxiang is already eighteen years old this year, and she is the latest girl to get married in Ku Lai Town. Su Man has two children.
On the day she got married, many people came to watch the excitement. Li Dahu was also among them. He should have been the one to worship in the high hall, but Chu Yunli didn't invite her, and she didn't even ask for the incense to kneel down. She only paid respect to heaven and earth and it was regarded as a ceremony.
.
After the newlyweds finished their ceremony, Li Xiangxiang pulled Du You to her, both of them knelt down and said, "Mom."
Chu Yunli was very happy that her daughter was getting married. Du You had never been involved with another girl in the past two or three years. If this love was fake, then it would be good to stay fake for the rest of his life.
There were many guests who came to celebrate the occasion, and the banquet was held at Du's Restaurant. It is worth mentioning that Du You directly replaced the plaque with a new one.
——Xiangyou Restaurant.
The original Du's Restaurant was replaced.
The Liu family wanted to enter, but were stopped. They felt embarrassed and left quickly.
The lobby was lively, and there were a few frustrated people in the crowd. Li Dahu was sitting in the banquet, and he felt that many people were looking at him. He ignored everyone's eyes and was busy taking care of the three-year-old who could not speak yet.
son.
Su Manduo glanced at the newlyweds, and was pinched hard by the wife next to him, and he didn't dare to look at them anymore.
On their wedding night, Li Xiangxiang sat in front of the dressing table and asked with a smile, "Do you feel aggrieved?"
"No." Du You hugged her from behind. He really couldn't say that when he saw her for the first time in the market, he couldn't get rid of her presence in his heart.
At that time, he was a poor boy with no father and mother. How could he dare to dream of a girl living on East Street?
Now, I finally got my wish. I just hope that I will never wake up from the dream that I finally realized.
It was not until seven years later that Li Dahu paid back the ten taels of silver he owed his former wife. What is puzzling is that, perhaps because he was too happy, he lost his temper the same day he paid back the money.
The mayor first made arrangements to bury him. The money was given by the wife of the owner of Xiangyou Restaurant, but she herself was not present. She only said that father and daughter had a close relationship and would never see him again in this life.
Afterwards, the mayor sent his silly son, who could only understand simple words, to the village to be the companion of a lonely elderly family.
~~
Du You, the owner of Xiangyou Restaurant, and his wife only came from a small place, but they were able to open the restaurant to counties and even prefectural cities. They were very capable. Moreover, the couple loved each other and were very attentive to their mother-in-law. Even after his death, the couple
People always remember.
