Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 4: Weak Mother and Silly Father

Seeing that the two were silent, the tall and thin man immediately became dissatisfied. He held the rein, raised his whip and threatened, "Hey, do you know this man or not?"

At this time, Father Chu stood up slowly, with the rope in his hand behind his back, and wanted to imitate Li Yuanwai in touching his beard, but he didn't have a beard, so he could only touch his chin, and then said in a serious manner, "May I ask what you are looking for?" ?”

Chu Qingyan was at the side, and couldn't help but want to applaud, daddy seems to have learned it!

"What, you, you are Chu Huaiyuan? Didn't you say you are a fool?" The tall and thin man stared so hard that his eyes were about to fall off.

Chu Qingyan immediately narrowed her eyes when she heard the words. This person was not very respectful when he spoke. He looked down upon him with a dog's eyes and slandered him. It seemed that the person who came was not kind.

"Caicai, is Daddy doing well?" Father Chu turned to his daughter and asked with a smile.

The thin and tall man was still immersed in shock, but now he saw him grabbing the little girl's hand and jumping three feet high, he couldn't help being annoyed, this fool actually played with him!

Seeing that the man was angry and about to explode, Chu Qingyan stood up first, "My father is Chu Huaiyuan, why are you looking for us?"

As soon as she reminded him, and there was a sound of urging from the carriage not far away at this time, the tall and thin man remembered the business, and hurriedly put away his annoyed expression.

Thus, a group of unexpected visitors ushered in the small hut of the Chu family.

"My lord, my lady, my wife's surname is Li, and this is Wang Ting. Both of us belong to the second lady's subordinates. Because Mr. Chu misses Mr. Chu's family very much recently, my wife specially sent my wife and Wang Ting. Come to Mao Village to take you back to the Chu family." A 30-year-old woman with a large black mole on the corner of her mouth grinned and showed her yellowed front teeth, and said familiarly.

"This—" Mother Chu looked at the group of people in astonishment, as if pie fell from the sky, but she couldn't believe it.

Chu Qingyan looked at the woman who was speaking, her eyes rolled wildly, and her fingers kept twisting the handkerchief. It seemed that she was insincere, or she was perfunctory. She couldn't help but narrowed her eyes. Came to pick up someone, showing courtesy for nothing, adultery or robbery, but she turned her head and looked at her mother's expression, she seemed a little happy, she understood it, and thought her mother would also move the idea of ​​going back.

Seeing Mother Chu's hesitation, Mrs. Li glanced at Wang Ting. Wang Ting immediately took a step forward knowingly, and said to Mother Chu, "Madam, it is really difficult for you and the Elder Master to live here. Look at this house, it can be called How can you give Miss Jiu a stable life? My wife said that as long as the three of you go home, you will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Chu Qingyan stared at Wang Ting, with a slippery tone, and when she said the last sentence, her tone was floating, and she knew right away that she meant something.When she was in the student union, she had recruited several officers, and she still had a lot of experience in judging people, so these two people thought they were trying to deceive them.

But she didn't understand, their family, weak mother and stupid father, what is there to be missed?Could it be that she was thinking too much?

But at this moment, Mrs. Li's eyes fell on her, as if she was looking at the meat on the chopping board, which burst into green light, "This is Miss Jiu! She looks so handsome, if the old lady sees Jiu You will be very happy, miss."

Chu Qingyan frowned, she didn't like the way Mrs. Li looked at her, she stood there blankly, anyway, she is a country girl, it's normal not to be polite.

Seeing that Chu Qingyan was playing with herself and didn't mean to say hello at all, a sneer appeared in Li's eyes, she really grew up in the village with no rules at all.

The few people talked again, and the sky had already darkened at this time. Mother tidied up a room for the group to rest. Chu Qingyan clearly saw the contempt flashing in the eyes of these people after they glanced at the room. I couldn't help but be amused, these people are really snobs raised in the Chu family compound.

Because the house was not big, Chu Qingyan's room was given over to the man who picked it up today, so Mother Chu asked Father Chu to share the room with the man for one night, while she and her daughter slept in the same room.

Chu's mother and Chu's father went to the room to get the quilt, and Chu Qingyan walked into her room to see the unconscious man.

That person was still in the same posture as today, lying motionless, Chu Qingyan sometimes felt that if it wasn't for the fact that he was still breathing through his nostrils, she would have thought that this person would have died in hell.

Chu Qingyan came over, wrung out the cloth, and wiped his face lightly, suddenly found that his skin color seemed to be less purple, but it hadn't completely faded away.When she wanted to continue wiping him, her mother called her suddenly, and she immediately put down the cloth and walked out quickly.

And the moment Chu Qingyan went out, those tightly closed eyes opened again, he tried to move his hands, and found that the incense of the fire on his body had dissipated, and his limbs could move freely, he slowly sat up .

At this time, a black shadow flashed in front of him, "Master, the subordinate is late."

The man waved his hand and looked around. It was really simple.

The man in black didn't know what the master was looking at, and said in a low voice, "Master, do you need your subordinates to get rid of all the people in this room?" The master's traces must not be leaked, it is best to eradicate these people to avoid future troubles.

"No, leave some silver and leave immediately." The man said in a deep voice.

The man in black didn't know why his master did this, but obediently took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and put them on the bed.

Seeing that the master raised his eyebrows, he seemed dissatisfied, and the man in black immediately took out another stack of bank notes and added it to it. At this moment, the master relaxed his brows, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and the man in black wiped the money on his forehead. The sweating, today's master is really strange.

Now that the father and daughter have silver taels, they won't casually think of people as the son-in-law of the onion!When he thought of being treated as an upside-down onion, he felt a little depressed!

"Let's go!"

"Yes."

When Chu Qingyan came back, she found that the purple-faced man had disappeared, leaving behind twenty pieces of one-hundred-liang silver notes. Maybe the other party really had some identity background that could not be revealed to others, that's why he was here. Woke up and left quietly, but for Chu Qingyan, she cared a little about who this person was, and it was exactly what she wanted if he could leave immediately. After all, she was in another world with a humble status, and she didn't want to cause trouble.

Looking at the banknote in her hand, Chu Qingyan was still very happy. She felt that saving people could make money. In the future, she will definitely save a few more people, and maybe she will be able to make a fortune!But this is also a blind cat meeting a dead mouse!She thought about it or gave up.

When Chu's mother saw so many taels of silver, she was startled, she hurriedly put it away, and told her daughter not to tell it easily, otherwise it would easily attract people's jealousy, because the 2000 taels is not a small amount.

Chu Qingyan smiled and nodded, this windfall may allow the family to live a good life.

That night, Father Chu still went to sleep in Chu Qingyan's room, and Chu Qingyan and Mother Chu lay down under a quilt.

"Caicai, do you want to go to Kyoto?" Mother Chu asked softly.

"Where mother and father are, so is my daughter." Chu Qingyan heard the expectation in her mother's tone, and followed her words.

Mother Chu sighed when she heard the words, "Caicai, mother thinks the purpose of the Chu family's visit is unpredictable, but mother thinks that the doctors in the capital must be better than the doctors in our village, mother wants to see a doctor for your father. Ten years ago, a famous doctor came to Kyoto, but unfortunately our family suffered great changes at that time, and we couldn’t see him at all, and now I think about it very regretfully.”

It turned out that this was the mother's plan, and Chu Qingyan held her mother's hand, with a serious expression that didn't match her age, "Mother, originally my daughter didn't really want to go back to the Chu family, because she also felt that the Chu family came with bad intentions. But for my father's illness, my daughter thinks that she should really go to a big town to see, maybe she can really find the famous doctor her mother mentioned, and we have money on hand, so the medical expenses are still not a problem. Our family has nothing to do if we think about it. Let the Chu family worry about it, why don't you go back and have a look, if it doesn't work, let's move out again."

"Okay." In the past, her husband was stupid and her daughter was weak. She could only shed tears and gritted her teeth to decide on her own when encountering things. There was no one to discuss with. Now when she heard her daughter's words, Chu's mother was hanging in the air with an unsteady heart. There is also a place, so that I didn't find my daughter's calmness beyond her age.

Chu Qingyan looked at the wall where the loess was peeling off. Although she couldn't live a good life here, she could at least live a comfortable life. However, she thought of her father's illness and her mother's rough hands, and suddenly had the idea of ​​going out. Although she has a ten-year-old body, she is a soul from the 21st century. Even if she cannot give her parents a life of prosperity and wealth, it should not be difficult to gain a stable foothold in this era.

It's just that what Chu Qingyan didn't expect was that fate always likes to play tricks on people, and because she stepped into the Chu family, her life would be turned upside down from then on.
