Chapter 18 The Meeting Gift from the Second Master

While talking, the second master came out with something in his hand.

It's a silver bracelet, heavy.

The second master gave Jiang Lu a meeting gift.

Jiang Lu looked at Zhou Chunhe, not daring to accept it.

Even if she married into the Zhou family, she had never received such a decent meeting gift.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Zhou Chunhe asked.

"Most of them are buried in the ground..."

Zhou Chunhe interrupted, "I don't like to hear what you say, and besides, I'm leaving."

"Don't say it, don't say it," said the second master with a smile, "my mother passed it on to my daughter-in-law. She is not blessed, so she left. Second master, I have no children or grandchildren. Letting it go is a waste of things. Why don't you give it to me?" Your daughter-in-law is also a little bit of my heart."

"Second Master, it can't be done. I just stopped by to see you. Don't worry about it." Jiang Lu hurriedly pushed.

"If you accept it, the second master will not be considered unaccompanied in this world. I also know that this kid will probably send me to the mountain after a hundred years. Don't go in, the second master can't afford it."

"Who wants you to pay it back." Zhou Chunhe said loudly.

"Whether you want it or not is your business, I'm still my business, Chunhe, the second master has lived a clean life all his life, and he doesn't want to be confused with you."

"This old man..." Zhou Chunhe cursed, but he couldn't figure out why after cursing and cursing.

Jiang Lu pulled Zhou Chunhe to sit down, "Second Master, then I will accept it."

"How can you accept it?" Zhou Chunhe looked at his daughter-in-law and couldn't understand it. This might be the second master's coffin book.

But Jiang Lu let Zhou Chunhe stare sorely, and pretended he didn't hear it.

When he went back, Zhou Chunhe didn't even take his wife's hand.

Jiang Lu let him go without explaining.

The two rooms in Zhou's courtyard were lit with weak candles, which were oil lamps lit by Mrs. Zhou, and tonight was to observe the New Year's Eve.

As soon as the firewood door rang, Mrs. Zhou came out with a sock in her hand, "Did you go there again?"

"Mother, you can't blame the second master for what happened to grandpa back then, why can't you justify it?" Zhou Chunhe drank some wine, feeling a little sullen in his heart, and became a little impatient with his mother.

"You son of a bitch, you've grown up and your wings are hardened, so you don't listen to what my mother says, right? I told you not to go, but you still go, do you still see me as a mother?" Mrs. Zhou scolded hysterically.

Jiang Lu suddenly became very curious, what was going on?Why does the mother-in-law dislike the second master so much?
"Mother, let's go into the house first, and Chunhe drank some wine." Jiang Lu said softly, and then he helped Zhou Chunhe.

"I'm not drunk." Zhou Chunhe shook off Jiang Lu's hand.

Jiang Lu pinched his waist with two fingers, using a little force.

Zhou Chunhe stopped talking.

"Go in, out of sight and out of mind, it's over." Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said sadly.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Lu let go of Zhou Chunhe's hand, "Your mother and the second master have a holiday?"

Zhou Chunhe grabbed the tea mug on the table and drank his saliva suddenly, but the weather was cold, and the water was already completely cold. Zhou Chunhe gulped it down, and the unknown fire in his heart died down for three minutes, squinting his eyes. My delicate daughter-in-law, "Want to hear it?"

Jiang Lu could see the desire in his eyes, and subconsciously shrank back, "I don't really want to."

"Lie, I really want to." Zhou Chunhe laughed.

Jiang Lu swallowed her saliva, "No force."

"Don't force it, you don't force it at all when you kiss me." Zhou Chunhe played a rascal and leaned forward.

Jiang Lu put her hands against his head that was getting closer, turned around, and said, "I'm going to wash my face."

But Zhou Chunhe grabbed his wrist with a backhand, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell into Zhou Chunhe's arms.

"Why are you more anxious than me?" Zhou Chunhe asked with a smirk.

Jiang Lu blushed up to her ears, "Let go of me."

How could Zhou Chunhe agree, biting his daughter-in-law's earlobe and muttering, "You don't know, it might be the second master's coffin book."

Jiang Lu was taken aback, endured the numbness all over her body, and said, "I don't know, because of this, you should let the second master rest assured."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Chunhe's tongue kept moving.

Because Jiang Lu didn't like the smell of smoke, Zhou Chunhe smoked less often when he came in, but when he was not in front of him, he would still secretly smoke one or two cigarettes, so as not to smell like smoke all over his body, and the faint tobacco smell would drift into the room without any mistakes. into Jiang Lu's nose.

This smell became more domineering in the dead of night, and she was about to fall.

Holding her breath, Jiang Lu said: "Second Lord has no one to rely on and nowhere to go in this life. If you don't care about him, he will naturally be able to entrust you with your affairs. He is 80 years old. What else do you value in him? It's just that there are people behind him who wear sackcloth and filial piety. But you have no relatives and no reason for him. If you are rashly asked to be this filial son, he will feel bad after all. It's better to recognize this relative. In the future The second master has no scruples."

A long time after Jiang Lu finished speaking, Zhou Chunhe did not speak.

"Am I wrong?" Jiang Lu asked.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Zhou Chunhe mumbled.

"What happened to the mouth?"

"I remember your father said that you only went to elementary school, how can you say such educated words?" Zhou Chunhe made no secret of his admiration.

"That's where it is." Jiang Lu smiled, she hadn't analyzed the three major problems of life with him yet.

"Then keep it." Zhou Chunhe finally convinced himself.

"Then tell me about your mother and Second Master." Jiang Lu was still curious.

"Kiss me." Zhou Chunhe didn't forget.

"Get out!" Jiang Lu punched me, my old lady didn't lose her temper and thought I was a little sheep.

"I said, I said." Zhou Chunhe softened.

This daughter-in-law is getting rarer and rarer now.

"Then hurry up." Jiang Lu urged.

"No kiss, give the head office a hug?" Unexpectedly, Zhou Chunhe came again.

This time, Jiang Lu flew over with a single eye shot.

"That's right, I'm not sure..." Zhou Chunhe finally spoke honestly.

It turned out that the second master's family was a well-known and well-known family in Wangjiaba Village back then. Later, due to some historical reasons, it fell into decline and the family's property was confiscated.Zhou Chunhe’s grandfather worked as a long-term worker at the second master’s house at that time (there are three types of work for others, those who are paid by the year are called long-term workers, those who are paid by the day are called short-term workers, and those who only come to help when they are busy are called Busy month), herding cattle is one of his main tasks.At that time, the second master was still young, and he was the second master's father who was in charge of the house.Once, when my grandfather came back from herding the cows, he drove the cows back to the cowshed. Before the man got home, the cows in the cowshed fell down.

The second master's family sent someone to ask grandpa over to ask questions. The man on the way said that he had slipped his tongue, and grandpa pissed in fright on the spot. He thought that his boss was going to send him to the government.His life is worthless, what can he do if he hurts his family?So he lied to the man, saying that he would go back to get something, but the man waited and waited for no one to come. When he went back, he found that grandpa was hanging in his firewood shed, he was dead.

"Your grandfather hanged himself because of this?" Jiang Lu couldn't believe it.

"No, now we think a cow is nothing, but at that time, even a human life was not worth a cow's life. Grandpa was really scared."

"So your mother recorded the death of grandpa in the second master's house?"

"Otherwise? They think that although the second master's family didn't kill grandpa directly, grandpa did commit suicide because he was afraid of suicide."

"Then the second master is not very old, is he?"

"It's about the same age as grandpa, but it's just pampered, and the same people have different fates." Zhou Chunhe said lightly.

Jiang Lu didn't speak anymore.

After a while, "Why are you so nice to Second Master?"

"Because the old man saved my life. When I was a child, I went down the river to catch fish. I missed the fish and my feet cramped. Fortunately, the second master came here..."

Jiang Lu sighed.
