Nongwomen's Spring

Chapter 185
Except for the old man Liu who was kneeling on the ground, when he saw the jade pendant in Bao Jinliu's hand, his old face immediately turned pale, and only two words came out of his heart, it's over, it's over.

At this time, Bao Jinliu put the jade pendant in front of Lao Liu's family at a close distance, and asked coldly, "What about you, have you seen this jade pendant? But to be honest, if there is a false sentence If so, the prison in the county is waiting for you."

Liu Caihua crawled up to Bao Jinliu on his knees, knocked his head several times in a row, and said fearfully, "My lord, Caomin has seen this jade pendant before. This jade pendant was stolen from my father by Caomin."

When the pale old man Liu heard his younger son's words, he was hit hard. It turned out that the jade pendant he didn't lose was really taken by this younger son. It was in vain that he had always believed that the younger son would not take it. Here, old man Liu gave a wry smile twice, fell backwards, and shouted, "Retribution, retribution."

Bao Jinliu looked contemptuously at Liu Caihua, a coward. He was glad that this useless guy was not his own nephew, otherwise, if his own nephew looked like this, even if he found it, he would have strangled him to death. .

"Old man Liu, did you hear what your son said, where did you get this jade pendant?" Bao Jinliu asked, looking coldly at old man Liu who was lying on the ground.

Old man Liu closed his eyes. At this moment, he really regretted why he spoiled this little son in the first place. He didn't expect that it was this little son who hurt him in the end.

"My lord, this jade pendant is mine." Old man Liu slowly got up from the ground, his whole face seemed to be a few years older, and he stared back at Bao Jinliu with blank eyes.

Bao Jinliu snorted coldly, slammed one hand on the table, and roared loudly, "Old man Liu, do you think I'm blind? This jade pendant belongs to my family. Hurry up and get it from me." It’s hard to get this jade pendant, otherwise don’t blame me for using torture on you.”

"Master, hurry up and tell me where this jade pendant came from, we don't want to be tortured." Liu He, who was kneeling next to old man Liu, was so frightened that he tightly grasped the sleeve of old man Liu, crying and asking him to take the jade pendant. Tell me about the origin of the jade pendant.

The rest of the old Liu family also looked terrified. They would usually die in pain even if they were cut by a knife. Tell me about the origin of this jade pendant.

Old man Liu saw that he was only caring about his family members at a critical moment, and his heart was chilled.

"You don't want to say yes, come here, and give me a hard [-] slap." Bao Jinliu saw that old man Liu was indifferent, so he called a yamen servant to come in.

When everyone in Old Liu's family heard Bao Jinliu's words, all the figures surrounding Old Man Liu disappeared immediately, and no one stepped forward to help Old Man Liu stop the yamen messenger from coming.

When old man Liu saw this, his heart felt even colder. This was the relative he had protected for so long, and this was his dear relative.

Seeing that the clerk was about to drag him out and beat him with sticks, and when old man Liu felt that his life was about to be handed over here, just when he was in despair of family affection in this world, a voice pulled him back from despair .

"Wait a minute." Liu Dalang ran in with a dusty face, looking at his appearance, he seemed to have rushed back from the town.

Liu Dalang knelt down in front of Bao Jinliu with a plop, first kowtowed a few times, then raised his head and said to Bao Jinliu, "My lord, my father is old, please take care of this matter and let my little one Take the punishment of twenty sticks for my father."

"Boss..." Old man Liu looked at the elder son in disbelief, his eyes slowly becoming moist.

Why is this eldest son so stupid? Doesn't he remember that when their family was forced to leave their hometown, not only did he not help him, but he also helped Liu He's to drive their family out of Lao Liu's house.

"Father, the son knows that the son is not as smart as the fourth and second brothers, but the son can only do this for you." Liu Dalang turned his head and smiled at the old man Liu, repeating the words with a smile on his mouth.

Old man Liu's face was full of emotion. At this time, he really regretted it. At the same time, he also hated himself for being blind all the time. The family he had been desperately protecting didn't care about his life at all. Instead, his eldest son, whom he didn't like, stood up and pleaded for him. He even wanted to punish him. This stark contrast made Old Man Liu feel so guilty that he wished he could stuff himself into a hole and never come out to see anyone again.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Qian, who was standing on the side, sympathized with Old Man Liu for being abandoned by his family. At the same time, he was moved that Liu Dalang was willing to stand up and accept punishment for Old Man Liu regardless of what Old Man Liu had done before.

But Zhang Qian was really afraid that Bao Jinliu would let him drag Liu Dalang out and beat him with a stick, so she stepped forward to Bao Jinliu and whispered a few words, "Master Bao, even if you want to ask something, you can Let's talk about it, is it necessary to make it like this?"

Bao Jinliu glanced at Bao Jinliu, thinking that she might be his niece and daughter-in-law, and he would try to save face for this niece and daughter-in-law anyway. He glanced at the crowd kneeling on the ground, he pretended to cough, and waved his hand , said to the yamen who came in just now, "Okay, there is nothing for you here, go down first."

The old man Liu was put down, and the first thing he did was to walk up to Liu Dalang, patted Liu Dalang on the shoulder, looked at him movedly and said, "Dalang, thank you, dad. Dad was wrong for treating you like that before. Dad is blind. Those white-eyed wolves saw it as a treasure, father was really wrong."

Everyone in the old Liu family who was scolded by old man Liu lowered their heads one by one, their faces were flushed, and they didn't dare to raise their heads to let everyone see their expressions.

"Father, don't say that. You are my father. It is what a son should do to help you. Dad, are you okay? Did you get hurt?" Liu Dalang felt warm in his heart. For the first time since he grew up, he was cared by his father.

In the past, because he was the most honest in the whole family, with a stupid mouth, he couldn't please his parents, so in this family, the parents liked the second child with a sweet mouth and the fourth child with a smart brain, and he and the third child were the most disliked in the whole family. popular.

"Father's fine, daddy's fine." Moved, the old man Liu lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. After a while, he raised his head again, looked towards Bao Jinliu, and said, "Master Bao, what's the matter?" The jade pendant is actually not mine, I got it from a baby."

"Oh, keep talking." Seeing that Old Man Liu was finally willing to speak the truth, Bao Jinliu immediately sat upright, and asked Old Man Liu to explain the matter in detail.

The old man Liu replied yes, his eyes were blurred, and he looked ahead, recalling what happened 20 years ago in his mind.

The incident dates back to a certain night 20 years ago. In the quiet Liujia Village, every household hugged their wives and children and slept on the hot kang. But in such a quiet night, the old Liujia was not peaceful, because Liu He's son The third youngest son fell ill with a severe high fever.
