Chapter 53
"Thirsty, I'm thirsty too!"

"Mother, let me have a drink!" Qin Liuniang just helped Chang Jingui to lie down, she also wanted to drink water, but she didn't dare to snatch it from her mother-in-law.

Wang Dahong ignored her, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve when he was full.

Qin Liuniang pounced on it, leaning against the spout, and could only pour out a little bit to moisten her lips, but it was trembling, and it was empty.

Not reconciled, Qin Liuniang got up and went out to run around in the back of the academy. She wanted to find a kitchen, but after searching for a long time, she accidentally broke into a firewood room.

There was an old man lying in the firewood room, probably because it was hot in early summer, he was naked from the upper body, both of them were surprised when they saw each other.

"Sorry, I'm leaving now."

The old man was only covered by a pair of trousers. She saw the old man's half-naked body through the moonlight, and immediately blushed and ran for the door.

The water was not found, and she didn't dare to continue running around like a headless chicken.

Looking for the way back, my heart was still pounding, who was that person just now!

She felt that the old man was definitely not a student because of his age.

If you are not a student, why do you live in the woodshed in the back of the academy?

She couldn't figure out why, and she didn't dare to think about it. When she closed her eyes, the scene of the old man's naked body appeared.

She shook her head, pushed the door open again and entered the room.

Knowing the son is more like the mother, at this time the drunk Chang Jingui has been shaken awake by Wang Dahong, and he is sitting on the bench stiffly.

When Qin Liuniang left, Chang Jingui roughly knew the whole process of why they stayed in the town.

He was displeased with the sudden appearance of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I was drunk and didn't notice it was you."

Wang Dahong wouldn't really get angry with her son, she clutched her aching chest, and murmured bitterly, "It'll be fine after two days, next time you drink less wine."

"Ah, I see." Chang Jingui clicked his tongue and changed the subject.

"According to what mother said, the matter has something to do with Chang Xi and Wen Cai, so how did Wen Cai know Chang Xi's movements, and still insist on selling medicinal materials?"

Wang Dahong realized it later, and slapped his thigh and howled.

"Yes? How did grandson know?"

Chang Jingui was so frightened that he quickly covered his mother's mouth with his hand, so as not to wake up the other sleeping people.

Wang Dahong choked for a moment, and Qin answered weakly.

"Fortunately, when you come back tonight, Mr. Xiang, we will go to the Qin Mansion to find you, why don't you come out to see us?"

Faced with Qin's questioning, Chang Jingui's ears turned red. He has his own difficulties, how can a village woman understand?

"Go out to socialize, and tell you, you don't understand either."

Thinking of the warm and fragrant nephrite from Qin's mansion, when he was about to leave, he was finally willing to show him a smile, Chang Jingui couldn't help but feel flustered.

Seeing Qin Liuniang becoming more and more unpleasant, her hair was loose in a bun, her clothes were worn out and dusty, and the stool he cleaned every day was dirty.

And his mother, since she woke him up, she took his bed.

The bed and bedding were all dirty, and Chang Jingui felt a chill in his heart.

His mother was fast asleep, Chang Jingui gave instructions to his daughter-in-law with a cold face.

"As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, you can go back."

"Master, I'm hungry!"

Yes, she is hungry and thirsty now, if she doesn't see Chang Jingui tonight, Qin Liuniang suspects that she will die at the gate of the academy.

Chang Jingui glanced at his wife impatiently: "Be patient if you're hungry, it's late at night, where can I get you something to eat?"

Qin Liuniang nodded aggrievedly, looked around the small single room, there was only one bed, and the bed was occupied by her mother-in-law, so where would she live with her husband?

Apparently Chang Jingui was also thinking about this issue. Now that he was staying in another student's room, it was easy to make people suspicious.

Thinking about what he usually said to his classmates, how dare he reveal his real family background?Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?
Moreover, he and the people in the academy seem to be familiar with each other, but in fact, it is the meager relationship that he tightened his belt and often bought dumplings from Changji dumpling shop and gave them to others.

The students in the academy only knew that he and the dumpling shop were relatives, so he just said that he was not bad in the village. Only by saying this could he be looked down upon by his classmates in Shigu Academy.

Chang Jingui was in a restless mood, and he hugged the extra bedding and put it on the ground. The husband and wife made do for the night, sleeping together in their clothes.

Chang Qinshi hadn't seen Chang Jingui for a long time, and as soon as he lay down, he proudly twisted his sleeves and winked at Chang Jingui shyly.

"The head of the house"

Chang Jingui didn't feel it before, but since he tasted the girls in the town, and then saw Qin's behavior, he only felt disgusting.

Turn your back and ignore her.

The next day, before dawn, Qin Liuniang was woken up by a strong push.

Chang Jingui was afraid that his background would be exposed, so he didn't sleep well all night, with dark circles under his eyes, he urged his wife to get up quickly, and told her and her mother to leave quickly while no one in the academy was awake.

Of course, he wouldn't tell the truth on his face, he only heard him mention his son in a low voice.

Yes, there is also a son who is not worried at home.

Thinking of Chang Wencai, Qin Liuniang resigned herself to her fate.

After waking up her mother-in-law, the two of them sneaked out of the academy like thieves under the cover of Chang Jingui.

Seeing their figures disappear completely, Chang Jingui breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to save money, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked all the way home.They had been hungry for half a day, so they had no energy to walk home.

In the end, it cost two yuan to buy a piece of shriveled big cooking cake, and each of them shared half of it to fill their stomachs, and hurried back to the village.

Shigu Academy rang the morning bell, and the students got up at the sound of the bell. At this time, Huang He came to the firewood room to look for his father with a steamed bun of coarse grains.

"Father, this is today's breakfast."

"Eh? Dad, why did you pack the package? Didn't the head of the mountain agree with you to stay and work in the academy?"

The old man remembered what happened last night, and shook his head uncomfortably: "There are women in the academy, so it's not appropriate to live in the woodshed."

Huang He was shocked: "How is this possible? Our academy only has aunts who work during the day, and they never stay overnight. They all have families in the town. How can you say that!"

The old man was full of doubts: "But, I clearly saw a young daughter-in-law last night. Could it be that I was dreaming?"

Huang He glanced at his father angrily: "Father, my mother is gone, and I don't forbid you to find a woman, but if you don't look for it yourself, you still dream of a woman, hey!"

"Father, my mother is gone, and now we are the only ones living together, so you can stay in the town!"

"You wait for me in August Qiuwei High School, I will become a scholar, and we will have all the hard work!"

"I'll think about it again!" The old man felt that the dream last night was too real.

Huang He didn't talk too much anymore, he forced the whole grain steamed buns to his father, and went to class by himself with his books.

As soon as he walked to the door, seeing Chang Jingui walking towards him, Huang He suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.

"Huh? Chang Jingui had two village women come to look for you at the gate of the academy yesterday. Are they your family?"

Chang Jingui was so shocked, he didn't know what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law told others.

Fearing that his lie would be exposed, he hurriedly explained.

"I think my nanny and the others are here. My nanny is getting old, and sometimes she doesn't work well, so she didn't offend Brother Huang, right?"
