Chapter 256 Our Love (Part [-])
"Get out of here." Zhou Xian squinted at Liu Shi. She looked down on this kind of person the most. She had hands and feet but lived like a useless person. You once."

Mrs. Liu looked behind them, and saw that her man hadn't chased them back, so she knew something was wrong.

She smiled immediately and said, "Aunt Zhou, calm down, I really misunderstood just now." She said, as if planning to help Father Wu.

"Go away. Did you hear that?" Zhou Xian wanted to slap her. They left here and came back, let alone a quarter of an hour. Mrs. Liu has been warming her hands by the stove in the house, while Father Wu is still lying on the ground at the door .

His hands and feet were cold and his face was purple.

Now come to make a show, who is it for?

"Look...here...I'm waiting for my man to come back. I can't move him by myself." Liu moved slightly, embarrassed, and glanced at Mei Yu. This man has a very gentle temperament , it looks like he has a good temper.

Mei Yu didn't look at her at all, and helped Zhou Xian to lift Father Wu up, and said softly, "I'll be fine."

As he spoke, he half hugged him and went into the yard. Mrs. Liu quickly pointed to the side room beside the main yard and said, "Over there, his room is over there."

It is a very small room, facing north and backed by the sun. When the door is opened, a gust of cold air blows in.

It's not a place for people to live in, but even if it's raising livestock, you have to burn a stove inside.

Zhou Xian didn't speak, and she and Mei Yu put her on the bed and covered her with a thin quilt. Turning around, Mrs. Liu was standing at the door, rubbing her hands and saying, "...Well, Aunt Zhou, my man..."

"Bring a stove." Zhou Xian looked at her with a bad tone.

Mrs. Liu choked for a moment, muttered, and picked up a stove and put it beside the bed, and cast a resentful glance at Father Wu.

How come he didn't freeze to death.

"Your man was taken away by Bing Ma Si, and he won't be able to get out within three to five years." Zhou Xian looked at Liu Shi, and said with a sneer: "If he commits crimes like this, he is unfilial and unrighteous. Shut up three or five times." Years have already treated him favorably."

"You..." Mrs. Liu froze for a moment, then howled dryly, "It was you, you were the one who got the soldiers and horses to arrest you? Why are you so ruthless? How would we, orphans and widows, live without him?"

Zhou Xian frowned and didn't speak.

"I'm going to sue you." Mrs. Liu cried and sat down on the ground. "You are powerful and powerful, and you will bully us common people. You are trying to force us to death."

Zhou Xian spat at her and said angrily, "Don't cry here. You know very well what evil things he has done. You cry when he is in prison, why don't you think about the people he harmed." Then he said: " Starting today, if I see you mistreating Father Wu again, I will also put you in jail."

"The cell was opened by your family." Liu said angrily, "Why are you, I have done nothing wrong."

Zhou Xian sneered, "Didn't you just say that we powerful people like to bully the common people. I'll bully you today, what's the matter?"

Liu was dumbfounded.

Not only him, but Mei Yu was also very surprised, looking at Zhou Xian.When this little girl becomes arrogant, she can really piss people off.

"I...I can't do it." Liu Shi said, got up, turned around and went out the door, "I can't live without a man, I can't do it."

After a while, I saw her carrying a bundle and leaving cursing.

I don't even want my son who is just one month old.

"I..." Zhou Xian's eyes twitched, thinking of that child, she couldn't help looking at Mei Yu, "Am I a little meddling?"

After all, the child is still young, and Liu's anger is gone. How will Father Wu and such a small child live in the future? !

"It's okay," Mei Yu patted her head subconsciously.After touching what he thought of, he withdrew his hand, "When he wakes up later, leave some money for him to help him survive."

Zhou Xian is right when she thinks about it. From now on, she will send some things to Father Wu every month, and raising a child will not be a problem.

Father Wu was still asleep. Zhou Xian thought about it and went to the main room. After a while, he wrapped the sleeping child in a quilt and carried him out. The child was still sleeping, thin but cute. She handed it to Mei Yu. Look, "Look at his mouth, it's still trembling when he fell asleep, is he hungry?"

"All children are like this." Mei Yu also pointed her head over to look at it. No matter how they look, children are cute. "Sometimes they even mutter."

Zhou Xian thought of August, "That's right, it was like this in August too, smacking his lips while sleeping. I even secretly put chopsticks on his mouth, and he didn't know what it was, so he groaned for a long time."

While talking, the child cried out loudly, shaking his little head around under the quilt, as if he was sniffing for the breath of milk and looking for milk to eat.

"What to do, what to do." Zhou Xian was very nervous, "You must be hungry. What to do when you are hungry."

Mei Yu laughed and said: "There is nothing to eat now, give him some water."

"You'll still be hungry after feeding water." Zhou Xian frowned and said, "He wants to breastfeed."

Mei Yu said helplessly: "Waking up in the middle of the night is so hungry. It's just that I have been spoiled. I just went to find my mother when I was half asleep."

"That's it." Zhou Xian looked at Mei Yu in admiration, "How do you even know this. If I didn't know you, I thought you already had a child."

Mei Yu was startled, a little embarrassed.

Zhou Xian wished she could slap her on the mouth, no matter how happy she was, she started talking nonsense.

"I...I mean...I mean..." She thought for a long time, how to make this joke go round, "I mean, if you have a child in the future, your wife must be very happy, because you I understand."

"Hehe..." The scene was very embarrassing, Zhou Xian thanked the baby in her hand for crying, otherwise she would have found a hole in the ground to get in.

Mei Yu laughed, "In your eyes, am I someone who can't take jokes?"

"Ah?" Zhou Xian didn't understand what he meant, and shook her head, "No...it's just...I'm a little too shallow."

Mei Yu frowned, she couldn't explain clearly, she just felt a little uncomfortable.

What does it mean to talk shallowly and deeply? Speaking of which, they have known each other for many years. Although they are not close friends, they are still friends.

"That's not what I meant." Zhou Xian saw that his complexion had changed, and felt that she had said something wrong. She was with him, and she would consider every word before she spoke.Because in her opinion, there is a huge gap between them, whether it is knowledge or insight.

She wanted to pretend to be a little learned, to pretend to be a prudent and connotative person.

But it was tiring to pretend all the time, so when they didn't see each other often, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.It was as if, having untied the shackles on his body, he left behind a very long-awaited wish.

"Forget it. I won't explain." Zhou Xian gave up. She is such a person, she only knows a few words, and her best skill is embroidery.She's not smart, she's not pretty, she's not virtuous, she's useless.

Anyway, it is impossible for Mei Yu to like her.Why should she embarrass herself and pretend to be a lady and a scholar.

Mei Yu's complexion improved and she smiled slightly.

"You two." At this moment, Father Wu woke up on the bed, and saw Zhou Xian holding his grandson in his room, he was stunned, "You two, this is..."

Zhou Xian briefly explained the situation, not even hiding his son's matter, "Father Wu, that's the way it is, and his mother has left."

"It's really a crime." Father Wu sat up. He was only in his forties or fifties, but he looked old because of exhaustion. "Thank you, Aunt Zhou, for saving my life. I am old and I can't repay you."

Zhou Xian handed the child to Father Wu who was sitting up, "Don't be afraid, I will help you raise this child from now on, and I will send you two taels of silver every month until he is 15 years old."

"It can't be done." Father Wu shook his head, "Without that evil son, I will bring my grandson to sell wontons, and it will be enough for my family."

Wu Er gambled, and he lost all the money in the family.

"Take it, raise your grandson, don't be like Wu Er, you will be safe when you get old." Zhou Xian said, touching the purse twice from her bosom, and found that when she came out, I just grabbed a few copper coins, and I had no money after eating the wontons.

"That..." She said awkwardly, "I'll send you money tomorrow."

Father Wu waved his hand and said no, Zhou Xian couldn't stay still with her face flushed, and was about to leave when a purse was handed in front of her, Mei Yu said softly, "I have it here."

"Oh." Zhou Xian grabbed the purse and poured out a gold locket. There is more than two taels of silver here, and she stuffed it to Father Wu, "You put it away, don't lose it. Let's go."

As she said that, she turned around and left. After walking a few steps, she found that Mei Yu hadn't followed. She turned around and pulled Mei Yu out, walking and saying: "What are you doing? I'm done talking. I will come again next month." .”

Mei Yu listened to her rambling briskly, and then looked at her fingers on her wrist, slender and slender like onions.It seems that the embroiderer's hands are very beautiful.

"Call me to come with you next month." Mei Yu said.

Zhou Xian let go of her hand, not daring to answer any more.

"What's the matter?" Mei Yu laughed, knowing why she was embarrassed, but she had the idea of ​​teasing her, "Your face is so red, maybe you are sick."

Zhou Xian let out a cry, and waved her hands, "No, I'm fine." Then she said, "I'm leaving, you...you go home and rest."

"I'll see you off. This journey is not safe." Mei Yu walked side by side with her. Suddenly, he said, "I'm going to Shandong in a few days to see the conditions of those who got the plague earlier."

Zhou Xian was full of admiration, "Are you going alone? It's freezing cold now, and it's better to take a carriage." She always admired smart and capable people, her eyes lit up, and her expression was sincere, "Is there something I need to help from the embroidery workshop?" .If you have to speak up."

Mei Yu also found out that Zhou Xian's personality is actually quite straightforward.

"I'll think about it." He nodded and said, "If there is, I will definitely come back and trouble you."

Zhou Xian grinned, her teeth were white, she patted her chest and said loudly, "Just say it. I will make sure you are satisfied with what I do." Then she said: "Ah Jin can't compare to me when it comes to doing things. She only has brains. It's easy to use, but my hands and feet are not as quick as mine."

"I washed her clothes before. Every winter, she was lazy and didn't want to go into the cold water, so she came to please me. My sister was long and my sister was short, so I knew she was lazy and wanted to order me to work."

"However, who made her brain easy to use, and she looks good-looking. Facing that pretty face, she still acts like a baby with you. I have no resistance at all, and she succeeds every time." Zhou Xian said , Thinking of the scenes of getting along with Su Wanru in the past, I only feel that the memories are full of sisterly love and full of sweetness.She didn't grit her teeth at all when she was bullied by Su Wanru.

"She is like this." Mei Yu felt the same way.

Zhou Xian got a response, and then went on to talk about their mutual friends, "Sometimes she was digging well water, and people almost fell into the well, which scared me. I will not dare to let her fetch water in the future, and I only found out later. , this girl did it for me on purpose, to make me feel sorry for her and help her with things, you think she is not bad."

Mei Yu nodded and said with a smile, "She has always been like this."

"Really, was she like this when she was a child?" Zhou Xian asked.

Mei Yu thought for a while, and recalled her childhood memories in Pingjiang Mansion, "...once, when she was about three or five years old, she didn't want to go to school to study, because her master was strict and always asked her to copy books. She replied, Said that copying books is the most useless, and the master will punish her to copy it three times when she is angry."

"She just hugged the book and went back with a sullen face as she walked. Just in time, His Highness and I came back, and she also spoke and showed His Highness her hand. His Highness was very distressed, and immediately went out to find Mr. Argument for her. "

"Finally." Zhou Xian listened with gusto.

Mei Yu paused, and then said: "The result is that His Highness was punished to face the wall, and Mr. took back the matter of copying the books."

"Is she okay?" Zhou Xian asked.

Mei Yu nodded, "It doesn't count. Afterwards, she personally made snacks for His Royal Highness. His Highness always said hello to the princess when she met everyone. The princess is well-behaved and protects her more and more."

Zhou Xian laughed loudly, grabbed Mei Yu's sleeve, and said, "Isn't this just August. August is like this."

"That's why she kept saying that August looks like the sage. In fact, she looks like her." Mei Yu glanced at Zhou Xian's hand, which was grabbing his sleeve, "However, she also has her own way of being nice to people."

Zhou Xianhao didn't notice it, and his stomach hurt from laughing, "Then I don't worry, she is not bullying me alone," and looked at Mei Yu, "Has she ever bullied you?"

"Let me cook, does it count?" Mei Yu recalled the months of war, Su Wanru sincerely praised him for the delicious cooking, August and Lu Cheng also praised him, serving for a long time, it was him Cooking.

You know, when he was alone, he rarely entered the kitchen.

"Forget it." Zhou Xian couldn't help but smile, "I'll go find her tomorrow, and I want to vent my anger."

Mei Yu nodded, "Well, vent your anger for me."

The two of them were walking, and they reached the gate of the embroidery workshop before they knew it. Zhou Xian stopped and said with a smile: "Thank you, I have caused you trouble tonight." Then said: "You should go back earlier."

"En." Mei Yu nodded and watched her enter the door before he walked slowly on the deserted street with his hands behind his back.

I just feel inexplicably relaxed physically and mentally.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xian went to find Su Wanru after breakfast!

　There are two more updates tonight!
