Chapter 75 Scolding

"Badger, hurry up." Lu Huan pulled Zhu Badger to the door of the study, and Lan Yuliu followed closely.

Zhu Badger pretended not to see Lan Yuliu and asked Lu Huan: "Why did you drag me here?"

"The neighbors are urging you to make lantern riddles. Then Tian Xiaolei ran to the door and called out several times. Huh, look at his silly look. How many lantern riddles can he guess by then?" Lu Huan couldn't wait. When she was about to push the door of the study room, a thin dog rushed over and stopped in front of her.

"Ouch, are you spying on me?" Lu Huan knelt down and petted the thin dog. The thin dog shook his head to prevent her from touching him, and he opened his teeth and gasped.

"Go back, I'm here." Zhu Badger bent down and touched Xi Quan's neck three times. Xi Quan returned to the door of the main room and squatted down. Zhu Badger straightened up and said to Lu Huan with a smile: "You don't need to enter the study to make lantern riddles. Let's go to Mr. Zhu's place."

"Go to Mr. Zhu's place? Do you want to go over and see him? I advise you not to do things too badly, but to be merciful and merciful." Lu Huan attached his ear to Zhu Badger. Zhu Badger replied: "What about him? I always make lantern riddles at Mr. Zhu's place."

"Making lantern riddles at Mr. Zhu's place? I thought you were going to drive him away." Lu Huan stuck out his tongue. Zhu Badger Lalu Huan stepped aside and asked, "Who are you talking about?" Lu Huan glanced at Lan Yuliu, who was still standing at the door of the study, and replied softly to Zhu Badger: "That's Zhu Yunhe. My aunt's name is Zhu Huzhai." Carry him to Mr. Zhu’s house.”

"What?" Zhu Badger was shocked and annoyed, thinking, Liu Ruyu, what do you mean? Let him live with Mr. Zhu? Is it possible to let him live in the old house for the rest of his life? No, absolutely not. How can such a beast deserve to die in the old house?

Zhu Badger was not ordinary angry. He walked up to Mr. Zhu angrily and asked word for word: "Besides father, what other good and honorific titles did you refer to when you just said 'father'?"

"It refers to the laudatory title for a talented man and the honorific title for an elderly man. What? Is there a problem with the origin or unclear annotation?" The folding fan in Mr. Zhu's hand swayed lightly and flutteringly.

Zhu Badger glared at Mr. Zhu and said through gritted teeth: "Very good, that's a good explanation. No wonder no one calls you 'father' when you are dying, because you don't deserve it, you don't deserve it at all!"

"You, you, you, why did you say something rude?" The folding fan in Mr. Zhu's hand shook irregularly, like a strong wind blowing through the leaves.

Zhu Badger replied coldly: "Does a person who is willing to live under the same roof as an animal deserve to be called 'father'?"

"I, I, I, I did it out of good intentions and compassion." The folding fan in Mr. Zhu's hand could not swing at all, and it was like a fan hanging down in his hand after the power was cut off.

Zhu Badger asked sharply: "Good intentions? There is no distinction between black and white, loyalty and traitor. How can such a 'meaning' be a good intention?"

"That, that's what your mother asked me to do. I, I'm actually worried that the humble room will be dirty." The folding fan in Mr. Zhu's hand fell to the ground, pressed on the instep of his feet and then fell to the foot of the chair.

Zhu Badger rebuked resolutely: "People begged you? Then you will be a bad person without principles? Zhu Fanzi, let me tell you, if you can stick to your own principles of life and not fight with each other everywhere, my dear father, dear Mom can't die, and that beast has no chance. You should think about it behind closed doors. Regarding the things that have happened since the New Year, which one was not caused by you pretending to be arrogant and trying to please both sides? "

"No, no, no, no." Mr. Zhu was full of words and didn't have anything to say. All he had was the same expression and cover-up that Dan'er had when he did something wrong.

Zhu Badger asked, "No? I almost drowned, are you still there to make excuses? Did you just give the key to the ancestral hall door to Fatty Zhu? Why did you still try to please Huang Qiukui face to face, knowing that she had evil intentions? Knowing that Huang Qiukui's fireworks Why didn't you just expose the problem with the firecrackers? You already knew about my life, so why did you keep hiding it? Why didn't you tell me immediately when Zhu Huzhai arrived at Lvbu Village? Do you regard me as a real Lao Zhai fairy? "

"I do, I have been protecting the old house." Mr. Zhu replied loudly with his head raised, then bent down to pick up the folding fan from the ground and shook it gently.

Zhu Badger became even more angry. He snatched the folding fan from Mr. Zhu's hand, tore it into two halves and threw it to the ground. He cursed: "You have it? Even if you have it, you are only protecting the shell of the old house's ancestral hall. This is just for the sake of protecting the old house." The needs of your hypocritical benevolence and morality.”

"No, no, that's not the case." Mr. Zhu returned to the state of Dan'er doing something wrong.

Zhu Badger continued to curse: "No? You talk a lot all day long, pretending to be an elder in the village and an elder in the old house. What are you pretending to be? Since you want to pretend to be an elder, then you should act What should an elder be like? If you could have stood up and stopped those people from storming the old house and the main house, it would have been completely impossible for such a tragedy to happen to the villagers. ? Since you know the basics, you, as an elder, can act with emotion and reason, and as an elder, you can stop them from doing anything wrong. But you didn't do that at all. You just wanted to protect the ancestral hall. My ancestors were just caretakers. A servant of the ancestral hall. Of course, you have worked hard to take care of the ancestral hall, but have you really taken care of the ancestral hall? Not at all. You just packed up a blanket and put it at the door of the ancestral hall. When you should go to Dongshan to take a morning bath, You go back to drink the goat's milk as usual. If you don't move, you go back to the house to take a nap every day. If some important items in the ancestral hall are stolen, you pretend to be deaf and mute and open one eye."

"I, I..." Mr. Zhu was incoherent, his forehead was sweating, his face was covered by his sleeves, and his so-called elegance was completely wiped out.

Zhu Badger refused to give up and continued to curse: "Because you have been teaching children in the village for decades to read and digitize, I have always given you face and regarded you as a teacher, but you must not be polite. Treat it as a blessing, and just sit on the top and act arrogantly to give you face. I tell you clearly that it is impossible to please everyone, and it is impossible for everyone to treat you with respect, regardless of likes and dislikes. , sooner or later he will be spurned by both parties!"

"If you want to scold me, scold me. It was my idea to let Hu Zai live with him at Mr. Zhu's place." Liu Ruyu came in from the door and stood between Zhu Badger and Mr. Zhu.

Zhu Badger did not give Liu Ruyu face, and asked her loudly: "You think I don't know it was your idea? I tell you, you don't want to be shameless."

"Are you born in the year of a dog? How can you catch someone and bite whom?" Liu Ruyu probably didn't hear Zhu Badger's words scolding Mr. Zhu completely, so her tone and face were still relatively relaxed.

Zhu Badger responded sharply: "My dog ​​can distinguish right from wrong better than you, and can distinguish between love and hate. Good is good and evil is evil. Liu Ruyu, please listen to me. Then you can make a choice. If you choose to continue to be Mayaksha , I welcome you, I still call you mother, you are still the master of the old house. If you choose to be Liu Ruyu, thinking of a night of love with that beast, I'm sorry, please leave the main house and leave the old house immediately. You are never allowed to step into the old house again!”

"Badger, are you crazy? That's your mother who worked hard to raise you." Lu Huan came over to persuade Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger said to Lu Huan in a gentle tone: "Huanhuan, I'm happy that your father came over today. I shouldn't be so angry in front of him, but for the sake of my old house, I have no choice." Zhu Badger patted Lu Huan Huan turned around and faced everyone and announced loudly: "From today on, no one else is allowed to step into the old master's house except me or my mother, Yaksha."

Everyone was silent, and Zhu Badger said to Lu Huan: "Huanhuan, you live at Dan'er's house, and your father lives with Mr. Zhu."

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Huan nodded.

Zhu Badger turned his eyes to Lan Yuliu and said word by word: "If you still want to live in the old house, you can make your own choice, as long as someone is willing to take you in."

"You don't need to worry about this, fairy, I've already made arrangements." Lan Yuliu smiled at Zhu Badger, looking confident but indifferent.

Zhu Badger ignored Lan Yuliu, walked up to Lu Huan's father, bowed deeply, straightened up, and choked with tears in his eyes: "Please forgive me, I made such a decision because I saw you."

"I understand, I understand very much." Lu Huan's father held Zhu Badger's hands tightly and said with tears in his eyes: "My child, it is precisely because you have grown up that I asked Huanhuan to come over first. I am coming here today. , because the situation is pressing and we have to take action.”

"Thank you, what should I call you?" Zhu Badger's tears rolled down like a bursting flood. He was completely different from the Zhu Badger who had scolded Mr. Zhu before.

Lu Huan's father replied softly: "Call me Lu Bo. Your Uncle Liu should be here soon."

"Uncle Liu? Willow from the willow tree?" Zhu Badger asked.

Lu Huan's father replied: "Uncle Liu, Liu Bowen's Liu." "Uncle Liu? Lu Uncle? Really? Really?" Zhu Badger was surprised and happy. He kept asking Lu Huan's father while wiping his tears with both hands.

Lu Huan's father pulled Zhu Badger aside and asked Zhu Badger softly: "My child, have you heard anything before?"

"Lu Bo, when I was dreaming, Grandma Taizu once said to me, "Liu Luzhi, my old house is safe". But I didn't ask clearly what kind of 'Liu Luzhi, my old house is safe'? Dream I woke up. I thought it was 'Liu Luzhi' or 'Liu Luzhi', or the 'Liu' of the blue jade willow and the 'Lu' of Lu Huan when the willow trees were green. He looked completely like a child in front of him.

Lu Huan's father showed infinite relief on his face, and asked Zhu Badger with a smile: "Have you ever wondered if it's Liu Ruyu's Liu?"

"No, because she is my mother-in-law Yaksha. Liu Ruyu always feels that it is too unreal." Zhu Badger answered truthfully.

Lu Huan's father said: "Child, sometimes the real existence is not as good as the empty imagination. Okay, you have already scolded what should be scolded, and announced what should be announced. Go and make lantern riddles."

"Rupert, if I let you live at Mr. Zhu's place, wouldn't you have any idea? Where's your luggage? I'll take it for you." Badger Zhu felt a little embarrassed.

Lu Huan's father smiled and replied: "My luggage has been placed at Mr. Zhu's place. Do you think I have any objection? If Uncle Liu arrives, he will definitely put his luggage at Mr. Zhu's place first."

"Ah? No wonder Grandma Taizu said, 'Liu Lu is here, my house is safe'. I can't wait to see Uncle Liu." Zhu Badger was as happy as a three-year-old child.

Lu Huan's father smiled even happier than Zhu Badger, and said to Zhu Badger: "Go make lantern riddles, and the three of us will have a good chat when your Uncle Liu arrives."

"Well, then Huanhuan and I will go over and make lantern riddles first. Hello, key!" Zhu Badger walked up to Mr. Zhu and stretched out his hand.

Mr. Zhu glanced at Lu Huan's father and asked Badger Zhu: "Will you go there if he is here?"

"What the hell, she must have let him go when she went out just now." Zhu Badger dug into Mr. Zhu's pockets.

Mr. Zhu hurriedly took out the key and handed it to Badger Zhu: "You fairy, you scolded me so miserably!"

"If you don't correct yourself in the future, I will still scold you terribly." Zhu Badger stuck out his tongue at Mr. Zhu, took Lu Huan's hand and ran out of the hall and out of the old owner's house, wanting to run directly to Mr. Zhu's house. House, unexpectedly there were people standing outside the house of the old owner.

"Hey, what are you doing standing here?" Zhu Badger stopped urgently. Lu Huan had no time to stand still and bumped into Zhu Badger. Zhu Badger hugged her tightly and stood there as steady as a mountain, smiling and asking the neighbors.

Day Lily, who was standing at the front, replied to Zhu Badger: "Let's have a big banquet."

"Nao Xi is in prison, are you having a big banquet so early? I haven't made the lantern riddles yet." Zhu Badger let go of Lu Huan and walked to the backyard.

Day Lily stopped Zhu Badger and asked, "When will the banquet start? Please tell me quickly."

"You can do it now, as long as Fatty Zhu opens fire." Zhu Badger pushed away Day Lily and pulled up Lu Huan and ran to the backyard.

Day Lily turned around to find Fatty Zhu, Daner followed Zhu Badger and Lu Huan, followed by Tian Xiao Leitian, Er Leitian, Tian Da Lei and others.

Zhu Badger opened the door and entered Mr. Zhu's house, and saw that there was indeed a bamboo box in the hall, which must be Lu Huan's father's luggage.

"Your father knew Mr. Zhu before?" Zhu Badger asked Lu Huan.

Lu Huan was still closing the door, so she only asked Dan'er to follow her in. Tian Xiaolei and others locked the door. Zhu Badger asked her and replied: "Is there any need to ask this?"

"Then he must have been to Donkeybu Village and the old house before." Zhu Badger walked into Mr. Zhu's study and asked Lu Huan pretending to be casual while cutting paper.

Lu Huan polished Zhu Badger's ink, and while polishing, he answered Zhu Badger casually: "You don't need to ask about this, right?"

"Then what should I ask you?" Zhu Badger raised his head and stared at Lu Huan.

Without waiting for Lu Huan to answer, Dan'er spoke: "Sister, you should ask Sister Huanhuan if she has been here? Also, why doesn't she come to you directly? Instead, she comes with Tian Xiaolei? Besides, she's here. How did we get in touch with his father after we moved into the old house in the village?"

"You little elf, do you already know all these problems?" Lu Huan reached out and scratched Dan'er's nose.

Dan'er hid under the desk and replied in an old-fashioned way: "You can fool my sister with your little cleverness, but you can't fool me."

"Dan'er, what did you say?" Zhu Badger was stunned when he heard what Dan'er said, and almost cut his own hand with the paper knife.

Dan'er thought Zhu Badger was angry, so she hurriedly got out from under the table and walked to Zhu Badger and explained to her: "Sister, I'm talking nonsense."

"You can't talk nonsense and say, has your sister Huanhuan been to our place before? Why didn't she come to me directly instead of coming with Tian Xiaolei? Also, she came to live in our village. How did the queen get in touch with his father?" Zhu Badger looked at Dan'er in front of him and felt that he had grown up a lot.

Dan'er smiled and said: "Sister, are you a fan of the person involved? Sister Huanhuan is so familiar with our place, how could she not have been here before? If she came to you directly, wouldn't she arouse the suspicion of those people? Just like that willow tree spirit "You can obviously come with Zhu Huzhai, but you have to come through Zhu Hu, the sick cat. As for how Sister Huanhuan can contact her father, I can only tell you with Sister Huanhuan's permission."

"You bastard, have you learned how to show off in front of me? How can I deal with you?" Zhu Badger raised the paper knife as if to hit Dan'er. Lu Huan hurriedly came over to stand in front of Dan'er and said to Zhu Badger: "Who told you that apart from fighting with the flat-mouthed woman and Huang Okra all day long, you only know that the cat is in your dark room? I tell you, if it weren't for Dan Son, I am afraid that the contact person between me and my father was drunk by Lan Yuliu."

"Sister Huanhuan, you should say that Liu Shujing served Zhu Huzhai or Zhu Hu. She is a woman who doesn't usually drink, right?" Dan'er saw that Zhu Badger had planted the paper and put down the knife, and lay down at the table with peace of mind. Talk to Lu Huan. Unexpectedly, Zhu Badger raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, then scolded him: "Sister Huanhuan, sister Huanhuan, you scream so happily, have you been expecting her to live in your house for a long time? Let me tell you, that willow tree spirit I usually like to drink secretly alone.”

"Hey, did you notice this? I thought you didn't know any other tricks besides stalking and scolding people." Lu Huan polished his ink and spread the paper for Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger was writing lantern riddles while responding to Lu Huan: "You didn't expect me, a fairy, to be so fake in front of you? Tell me, is the means of communication between you and your father a carrier pigeon?"

"You know what you're asking, hey, why did you come to Mr. Zhu's place to make lantern riddles?" Lu Huan took the lantern riddles written by Zhu Badger and put them aside to dry.

Zhu Badger replied with the same words to Lu Huan: "You know what I'm asking, how can I get into my study when she, a willow tree spirit, is following her so closely? I still have to make good use of her, a willow tree spirit, hehe."
