Chapter 117 Mother
Zhao Huniu stood in front of this rather dilapidated wooden door for a long time,
Still haven't taken a step.

She, who can fight to the death with a few tall and vicious people without fear, stands in front of this door now, but she is inexplicably timid.

It's not a scourge that lives here,
According to what Ge Yuancai said, Bu Xiao's home is here.

Zhao Huniu had already looked around the yard. She thought that the wages paid to the clerks were not too small, and even increased a little after the business of the shop improved.
Even if you can't eat delicious food and drink spicy food, there must be no problem with food and clothing.

But the yard in front of me,

It was so broken that Zhao Huniu doubted whether it still had the effect of resisting the wind and cold.

Thinking of what Ge Yuancai had told him about Bu Xiao's habits in the past, Zhao Huniu's eyes turned cold.

"Knock knock knock,"

After all, Zhao Huniu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

There should be someone inside, but after I knocked on the door and waited for a while, the door in front of me slowly opened a gap; an old woman stood in front of the gap, peeking at me.

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

The girl standing outside the door was tall and straight, and her clothes were clean and tidy. Although she looked a little serious, she probably didn't come to collect debts——Ms. Zheng looked at Zhao Huniu outside the door and thought silently.

"Excuse me, are you Bushaw's mother?"

Hearing her son's name, Mrs. Zheng seemed to have expected it, but also seemed to be relieved, with an ugly smile on the corner of her mouth.Zhao Huniu saw her cloudy eyes getting darker, and said in a low voice:

"Girl, are you here to ask for money too?"

"no,"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zheng would say that, Zhao Huniu was a little surprised, but then relieved,

She looked up at the almost empty yard behind Mrs. Zheng, and was silent for a while,
"Madam, I have come to tell you something."

"careful!"

Zhao Huniu's eyes were quick and her hands were quick, and she grabbed Zheng Shi who was about to fall after hearing the news.The arm hidden under the rough fabric is like a dead branch, if you use a little more force, it will probably break.

Zheng's body trembled uncontrollably,

She suddenly fell down and was about to kneel down in the direction of Zhao Huniu, but the girl's strength was as strong as that of a grown man, Zheng couldn't break free no matter what.

"Ma'am, why is this so madam!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, girl!" Zheng shook her head, tears streaming down her face and said, "That, that bastard, he used to eat wine and gamble for money, but he ended up stealing things from others and hurting others life!
How can I have the nerve to meet your girl, I, I'm sorry. I want you to come and tell me about it, I, I,

Why is my life so hard?"

Zhao Huniu thought, this is not the first time she has been so heartbroken; otherwise, the look in her eyes outside the door just now would not have been hopeless.Zhao Huniu had never had such feelings before,

she has no parents,
never been a parent,
She doesn't understand.

"Girl, I know that bastard is not human. My old face has already been completely lost. I dare not ask you any more. It's just, just, he, that bastard, after all, he is the one who crawled in my belly. out of the meat."

Seeing that the old man was about to kneel down again, Zhao Huniu hurriedly helped her, and she begged in a low voice:

"For the sake of my old age, I just begged the girl to spare his life, but at least I gave up.
I don't care about anything."

The gray-haired old woman in front of me, I don't know her age,
She bowed her head deeply towards the junior in front of her, almost burying herself in the dust.Looking at her like this, Zhao Huniu suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart,
The emotion is so heavy, so reticent,

It almost made Zhao Huniu breathless.

"lady,
It doesn't have to be,"

Mrs. Zheng raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her; Zhao Huniu saw that the corners of her eyes were still wet, and new tears flowed down her face.Her throat moved slightly, and she slowly said:

"Madame, your son is only an accomplice,

Come to think of it, the sentence shouldn't be that heavy. "

"Yes, is it..."

Hearing what Zhao Huniu said, Zheng's hand slowly loosened.

……

After leaving Bu Xiao's home, Zhao Huniu was walking back to the city,
The woman's words and demeanor just now lingered in her mind.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zheng kept stuffing a sling of money that she found out from somewhere in her hand; the cotton thread was flocked, and it must have been hidden for a long time.

Zhao Huniu didn't accept it,

After all, she didn't come here to ask for money.

why did you come
Zhao Huniu herself couldn't tell.

She vaguely heard Ge Yuancai say before that there is only a weak old woman in Bu Xiao's family. Now that Bu Xiao is in prison, even if he won't be dragged to beheaded, he will probably have to stay there for a long time.

When I came out, I lost my livelihood.It was originally the idea to let him see the red fox cloak on purpose.

But during this time,
How should the old lady in his family make a living?
Even if I kept supporting her until Bushaw came out, the situation would not seem much better when he came out.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huniu sighed.

"Tiger girl!"

Just when Zhao Huniu was immersed in her thoughts, a voice calling for herself came from afar.She raised her head and saw that it was Guo Yinshu who had already returned home.

He was driving his donkey cart here.

Guo Yinshu was obviously not a skilled donkey driver. The little donkey bumped into one end for a while, and then turned to the west for a while.
I can't even yell out a slogan,

He just clumsily tugged on the rope in his hand.

"Tiger girl!"

Seeing Zhao Huniu, Guo Yinshu originally wanted to wave, but there was no room left in his hands, so he had to shout in the girl's direction.Zhao Huniu stepped forward quickly, grabbed the donkey harness with her left hand to signal the little donkey to stop, and held the donkey rope with her right hand.

The little donkey snorted.

"How did you come?"

Zhao Huniu raised her head and looked at Guo Yinshu who was sitting in the car; there was already a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, it seemed that driving a car was really a physical effort for Guo Yinshu.

"I've never seen you drive a car before, so you don't have to worry about falling into trouble just by running here."

"I saw that you didn't go home until now, and I was worried about what happened to you, so I came out in a hurry. It's better for you to taunt me instead,"

Guo Yinshu's ears were reddened by what Zhao Huniu said, and he spoke angrily.

Looking up at the sky, Zhao Huniu said slowly:
"Less than two hours have passed."

"Two hours isn't too long! If you meet someone who robs you on the road, you will die twice!" Guo Yinshu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of what happened to him before.

Zhao Huniu originally wanted to say that you can't help you when you meet bad people, but when she saw Guo Yinshu's palms that were rubbed red from tightly clutching the rough hemp rope, she kept her mouth shut.
She patted the wooden board to signal Guo Yinshu to sit back, and she turned over and sat in the driving seat.

"drive!"

The little whip made a crisp crack in the air, and the little donkey kicked its hooves and began to move.

Guo Yinshu leaned over to Zhao Huniu's side and looked at the disheveled donkey hair curiously.

"How many people can this little thing pull?"

"It's enough to pull both of us and your mother,"

"I see that it is so small, but it has such strength, just like you."

"It's not very edible. I'll buy something more edible in a few days, and I can pull the cart faster."

"What about this little thing?"

"Let's grind at home."

"I thought you were going to let it rest,"

"Then how about killing the donkey and letting you taste the donkey meat?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Look, you made it bark in fright!"

The figure of two people and a donkey gradually faded away with the increasingly blurred voice.
