Three and a half women in four courtyards

Chapter 71

When Lu Mingchun's boss Lu Erye asked where he lived, Wu Laqin immediately panicked, thinking, I can't tell where the monk is.

He cried and said, "Oh, my house is right there! My house has several big tile-roofed houses. My mother died last year, and my dad found me a stepmother. This stepmother is so heartless, she makes me feel so cruel all day long. He didn’t talk about work, and beat me when my dad was not at home. I told my dad, but my dad didn’t believe me either. I just ran out.”

Second Master Lu then asked: "Ang, do you know, is your home in the south of Liangchu Mansion, or in the north? Where is your home? How did you come to Liangchu Mansion?"

Wu Laqin sobbed and said, "My house faces the south. When I came out, I walked all the way to the south. After passing several mountains, I walked for two or three days before I saw many houses here, and I arrived here."

"Then do you know, what is the name of your place?" Second Master Lu asked.

"Oh, no, no, I don't know!" Wu Laqin said.

The accountant said: "Oh! He is only seven years old, and he doesn't know what to ask, and he can't find his family! I think we have to let him go."

"Well, that's not making him cheap! Who will I go to with my rent and food?" Second Master Lu was not reconciled.

At this moment, a grocery shopper interrupted: "Oh, the rich man in Dele Jichuan who often delivers vegetables to us is called Zhang Huan. There are six eldest daughters in the family, but he has never had a son. Now his wife is also very old. I want to adopt a son, and I have told me several times, let us be careful. Or, let’s send him to Dele Jichuan and Zhang Huan? If Zhang Huan is in love, let him send him The rent and meal payment have been paid, so it should be about the same, right?"

"Oh, that's a good idea!" Second Master Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, "We won't lose anything, and his family won't end up living on the streets with a child. These days, too many children are lost, and many of them freeze to death." Are you outside? Hurry up and contact rich man Zhang Huan."

"Oh, but..." the grocery shopping guy was in a dilemma.

"But what?" Second Master Lu asked with staring eyes.

"But, Mr. Zhang Huan said that he wanted a boy under the age of six. This child is already seven years old. I'm afraid the old Zhang's family disagrees." The grocery store guy said.

"Hey! Why are you so stupid." Lu Erye slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, tell Zhang Huan that he is six years old! Don't you just have it? What's the difference between six and seven years old now? ? It just grows faster and slower."

"Oh, that's right!" said the grocery shopper. "Then, my boss, you have to tell this child well. When you meet Mr. Zhang, you have to say that you are six years old."

"Okay, okay! You go quickly." Lu Erye said, "Oh, drive the mule cart! Hurry up!"

Hou Mingli turned the carriage around and walked towards the "Lumingchun" hotel.

While driving the car, he said to Bao Yixian: "Oh, let me tell you, little sister-in-law. We're running around like headless chickens, that's not the way to go. Isn't this equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack."

"Oh, then, how do you find it? This is the only way." Bao Yixian said.

"Ang, let me figure it out. This Wulaqin is a Mongolian, and he came from a lotus or a mountain." Hou Mingli said.

"Nine springs, lotus, moon mountain!" Bao Yixian said.

"Yes, Jiuquan-Lotus-Moon Mountain" Hou Mingli repeated, "Do you think he will go back to Jiuquan Lotus Moon Mountain by himself?"

"Oh! That's right!" Bao Yixian suddenly realized, "That's right, I was in a hurry, I didn't think of this. We have to chase after Jiuquan Lianhua Moon Mountain immediately. Get out of the county, he can't run much for a child Far."

"Oh, well, I don't know how to get there?" Hou Mingli turned the carriage around and prepared to leave the county seat.

"I know. Go out of Beigai (street) and run to Qingyang Mountain along the official road." Bao Yixian said.

Lu Mingchun Hotel went shopping for vegetables for two hours, and then came back with a mule cart, and there was an old couple sitting in the cart.

As soon as the two old people got out of the car, Second Master Lu from the Lumingchun Hotel rushed out to greet them, and happily cupped his hands and said, "Oh, old man, how have you been?! Welcome old man to the shelter!"

Zhang Huan hurriedly cupped his hands in return: "Ang, Second Master Lu has taken care of you! Thank you in advance!"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and came to the hotel lobby.

Second Master Lu led the way to the room on the second floor, and saw Wu Laqin, who was wrapped in a quilt and sitting on the kang.

Zhang Huan and his wife saw that Wu Laqin looked very energetic, and they liked it inexplicably.

Zhang Huan asked kindly: "Ang, little boy, where is your family? How old are you?"

Wu Laqin shook his head, expressing that he didn't know where he lived, and then said, "Oh, six years old."

"Oh? I'm six years old, and I'm quite tall." Zhang Huan's wife, Zhang Zoushi, stepped forward and lifted the quilt, and saw Wu Laqin's lower body, "Oh, he is really a (boy) with handles. Why not Get dressed. Come, son, I'll bring you a suit, put it on quickly."

Wu Laqin put on her clothes, hat, and shoes, jumped to the ground, and bowed to Zhang Huan and his wife: "Thank you, sir!"

"Oh, good, how polite!" Zhang Huan and his wife stroked Wu Laqin's head, very rare (like) it.

Hou Mingli was driving the carriage forward when Bao Yixian suddenly yelled: "Oh! I remembered! Stop!"

"Hoo—" Hou Mingli pulled up the iron gate of the carriage and stopped the carriage, "Oh? What do you remember?"

"When we came out of Jiuquan Lotus and Moon Mountain, the fourth prince and his wife made Wu Laqin and Beiji swear that the Japanese devils would not leave China, and Wulaqin and Beiji were not allowed to set foot on Jiuquan Lotus and Moon Mountain. This oath The fourth prince asked them to repeat it twice, and Wu Laqin knew it. He definitely won't go back to Jiuquan Lotus Moon Mountain!" Bao Yixian said, patting Dimple Lianggai (forehead).

"Oh, then, don't you go to Jiuquan Lotus Moon Mountain?" Hou Mingli asked.

"Ang, I'm not going! Hurry up, go back to the Liangbu Mansion!" Bao Yixian said firmly.Her heart was beating suddenly.

Seeing the smiling faces of Zhang Huan and his wife, Second Master Lu hurried forward and said, "Oh, this kid is so smart and looks energetic! It's a pity that my mother died, and my father married a stepmother, and he was beaten by her stepmother all day! Way, the child escaped from the house! He was tricked by the gangsters on the streets of Liangzhufu! He was cheated all over, and he didn’t even leave a pair of shoes. Fortunately, he met you, an old man, It's also his creation!"

"Oh, then, please ask Erye Lu to be a witness, and I will recognize this son!" Zhang Huan said happily.

"Oh, that's a good relationship, change your words quickly, I'll be a witness!"

Second Master Lu hurriedly asked the buddy to set up an incense table in the room.

Zhang Huan and his wife sat in front of the incense case.

Wu Laqin knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and changed her name to "Mom and Dad".

When Zhang Huan and his wife heard the word "Parents", they couldn't sit still any longer, they burst into tears, stood up and helped Wu Laqin up, and said again and again: "Oh, this time, our old Zhang's family has a future, a future. It is now. It can be passed on to the next generation!"

Zhang Zoushi was even more excited, hugging Wu Laqin and kissing him endlessly.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you guys." Zhang Huan took out two oceans as a testimony to Mr. Lu, and took out some dime notes to let the guys buy candy.

In the end, he said: "My son, I, Zhang Huan, have paid all the room and board expenses in your hotel!"

Everyone was happy.

Someone brought a pen and paper, wrote a notarized document, and signed their own signatures.

Finally, Zhang Huan, his wife and Wu Laqin were sent to the mule cart and returned to Delejichuan.
