farmer's husband

Chapter 69
This time the carriage went very smoothly.When they arrived at the gate of Kang's mansion, they entered through the side door, entered the carriage and horse hall, and then changed into a green cloth sedan chair to send them to the gate of Mrs. Kang's yard, and then Mrs. Kang's maid led the two of them into Mrs. Kang's bedroom. .

Taking a quick look last time, Chun Zhi remembered that Mrs. Kang was a kind old lady.But in just a few days, Mrs. Kang is as old as ten years old, and her whole body is like an old branch that is short of water and dry, lazy and lifeless.

"Old lady, Mrs. Chai who found Xiaozao is here." The servant girl walked to the bedside and said softly.

"Oh, Xiaozao!" Mrs. Kang slowly opened her mouth, her voice was low and hoarse, "My Xiaozao is a poor child! Back then, my husband died young, leaving me alone, alone, unable to eat or sleep. I didn’t feel it. It was by my side at the time, it looked at me when I was sad, and it licked my tears away with its tongue when I cried. Without it, I don’t know how to get through that period Life! It is not good-looking, but it is well-behaved, obedient and understands human nature. It is my old companion! But it has been with me for more than ten years, but I threw it aside because I wanted to burn incense. Lost! If it weren't for my negligence, how could it have suffered so much, and how could it have gone so early? It was killed by me!"

"Old lady, don't say that!" The maid on the side hurriedly persuaded her in a low voice, "Life and death are fate. It is a lucky thing for jujube to make you happy, and to be fed with good food and drink for so many years. You Didn't you see, it was also very happy when it was finally lying in your arms."

It was fine if she didn't say that, but now that she did, Mrs. Kang immediately became more depressed.

"Yeah, it misses me wholeheartedly, and when it's dying, it still wants to come back to see me, but what about me? Why did I just throw it away!" She whispered, a tear slowly slipped from the corner of her eye .

The maid was suddenly speechless.

When Chun Zhi saw this, she was also speechless.

At this time, someone came outside suddenly.Mrs. Kang held a gray kitten in her hand, and excitedly went to Mrs. Kang's bed. "Look, mother, we found it! This cat looks exactly like Xiaozao!"

Mrs. Kang didn't even raise her eyelids, she just waved her hands. "Take it away, I don't want it anymore."

"mother……"

"Take it."

Mrs. Kang paused, but reluctantly handed the kitten to the maid, and she turned around and knelt in front of Mrs. Kang's bed. "Mother, Xiaozao has already gone. It's useless for you to be sad now. And you have to know that Xiaozao has been so good to you. If there is a spirit in heaven, it will definitely do the same when it sees you humiliating yourself like this." It hurts!"

"I know, but I can't help it. I've been thinking these days, why didn't I go before it? In this way, I don't have to face the pain of sending away my loved ones again." Mrs. Kang said weakly explain.

Mrs. Kang's face became a little ugly.But she still held back the words that came to her lips.

But she held back, but Harue could see what she meant from her expression.She wanted to say—isn’t it just a cat? If it dies, it will die. It wasn’t enough for you to find her for more than a month. Now that the cat is dead, you still want to take your own life, don’t you?Moreover, how can a cat be closer in your heart than our true relatives?In your eyes, we are worse than a dead cat, right?
In this case, many people said this to her when she was in Gujia Village.After arriving at Wangjia Village, although there were fewer people who said that, there were still many people who laughed at her in private for raising cats as human beings.

However, how do these people who don't own cats know the status of cats in their hearts?In many cases, cats are much more reliable than so-called relatives!
Moreover, every cat in this world is unique.The old cat died, and it took half of Mrs. Kang's life. That was not something they could solve by finding another kitten that looked similar to the old cat.What's more, Chunzhi felt from the bottom of his heart that Mrs. Kang probably didn't want to keep cats anymore.Her heart was completely wounded by the death of the old cat, and she would never raise another cat so that she could experience today's pain all over again in a few years.

It's just that she wouldn't understand this truth even if she told Mrs. Kang.Moreover, Mrs. Kang probably wouldn't take her words seriously!
Chunzhi thought for a while, then she asked the maid next to her softly: "Sister, can you bring me a plain handkerchief, and then some gray silk thread, black thread and white thread, and a needle? "

"Okay!" Although the servant girl felt puzzled, she nodded in agreement.

After she went out for a while, she brought Chun Zhi what she wanted.

Chunzhi stretched the veil with a stretcher, then threaded the gray thread with the needle, and began to run the needle over it.

Mrs. Kang persuaded Mrs. Kang to no avail for a long time, and everyone was in a hurry.But when she looked back, she found that the guest she specially asked her son to invite was now bowing her head to embroider again?

Does this girl have any eyesight?Is this the place to pass the time embroidering for her?

Mrs. Kang's stomach was full of fire, and she almost vented it at Chun Zhi.

However, at this moment, after Chun Zhi finished her last stitch, she raised her head. "alright!"

She raised the embroidery frame: "Mrs. Kang, look, what am I embroidering on it?"

"What is this? A... cat?" Mrs. Kang stared at it for a long time before guessing quietly.

No wonder she didn't recognize it, there was just a dusty mass on the veil, she really couldn't see anything.

Before she finished speaking, the old lady Kang who had been lying on the bed for a long time sat up suddenly.

"Xiaozao!" she yelled loudly, the loud voice startled Mrs. Kang.

But Mrs. Kang found out right away—the more frightening thing was yet to come.

After Mrs. Kang sat up, she even wanted to get out of bed!

She hurriedly held down Mrs. Kang, and shouted to Chun Zhi: "The old lady wants to see what you embroidered, so you can show it to the old lady."

"Oh, wait a minute, I'll close the needle." Chun Zhi quickly closed the needle, bit off the end of the thread, and then handed over the handkerchief together with the stretcher.

Mrs. Kang took the veil, and when she saw the dusty ball above, her tears came down again.

"Xiao Zao, my Xiao Zao..." She cried sadly, and hugged the stretcher into her arms.

For so many days, she has been refusing to cry unrestrainedly, she only shed a few tears at most, and most of the time she just lay there lazily talking to herself.Mr. Kang and Mrs. Kang are both dying of anxiety!As a result, she was willing to cry now!
Mrs. Kang quickly breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help turning her head to look at Chun Zhi again.

Chun Zhi hurriedly stepped aside to make room for her.

Mrs. Kang didn't care about her anymore, so she hurried forward to comfort Mrs. Kang.

Mrs. Kang cried hard holding the stretcher. After venting all the sadness and depression in her heart, her spirit became much better.

She raised the stretcher for another look, then slowly raised her eyes to look at Chun Zhi who had been silent all this time.

"Did you embroider the jujube on it?"

Chunzhi nodded. "yes."

"You were the one who helped find Xiaozao?"

Chun Zhi nodded again. "yes."

"Well, you are fine." Mrs. Kang nodded, "It can be seen that you are also a caring person. Although the embroidery is rough now, it has outlined the charm of Xiaozao. Looking at it, I feel like Seeing Xiaozao come back to me, I feel much more at ease!"

When Mrs. Kang heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Mom, it's good that you're safe! You don't know, you haven't eaten or drank for the past two days, and you almost scared us to death!"

"I'm fine, I'm just sad. But now, I'm fine." Mrs. Kang said softly.

Although there was still a trace of sadness between her brows and eyes, and her hands gripping the stretcher were slightly tight, but her eyes were bright, which was a good thing.

Chunzhi also noticed this, so she asked in a low voice. "Since it's all right, can I go?"

"You want to go? Where are you going?" Mrs. Kang raised her eyes immediately.

"Of course I'm going home!" Chun Zhi replied, "My husband has finished his exams, so we should go home. If Mr. Kang didn't stop us, we should have walked four or five miles out of the city gate by now."

"Is that so?" Mrs. Kang turned her head to look at Mrs. Kang and Young Master Kang.

Mr. Kang quickly lowered his head. "Grandma, you said early in the morning that you wanted to meet the people who found Xiaozao, so grandson naturally had no choice but to invite them to come and visit you. Now it seems that grandson did the right thing. If Mrs. Chai hadn't come, grandma would just I'm afraid it won't get better!"

Mrs. Kang also nodded with a smile. "Boy Lin's behavior today is a bit reckless, but this is also his filial piety, mother, don't blame him. Besides, it's okay if we delay Mr. Chai's return home today. At worst, we will send a car right away." Just send them back. It's not a big deal at all."

Again.

Sending a car to take them home is really nothing to the Kang family, but to Chun Zhi and Chai Dong, it is a very serious matter!

Chun Zhi quickly waved his hand and refused. "If you really want to make up for us, you might as well give us a donkey!" she said hastily.

"One end? That's too little, two ends, each of you!" Mrs. Kang said immediately.
