Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 31

At a quarter of a second, the people on the street had almost dispersed, and there was no business in the shop, so Zhang Mu went to the backyard to look at Wu Ling. After hearing what Chu Yuan said in the morning, she felt that the husband was a little emotional. As soon as he arrived at the shop, he asked her to accompany his mother to look after the business. Later, he saw her father go out. Knowing that the husband was still in the backyard, he didn't think about it any more. There were many people going to the market in the morning and the business was busy, so she just She didn't listen to the commotion in the yard anymore, now that the front is not busy, she said hello to her mother, and then went to the backyard, but she didn't see Mr. Husband except for the bamboo sticks and logs piled up in the yard, and went to the kitchen again. Take a look, at this point, Xianggong may be cooking lunch.

There was no kitchen, so she yelled around the house twice, but no one was there. At this moment, Zhang Mu was a little panicked, and she vaguely felt that Xianggong might have gone to Chu's or Zhao's.

"Mother, Ah Ling is gone. I searched around twice, but I didn't see anyone!" Zhang Mu went straight from the backyard to the front shop, and said to Erniang Ding.

Ding Erniang saw that the young couple's expressions were not right in the morning. There were many things ahead, and she didn't have time to ask them all morning. Later, she saw her husband leaving the house with an angry face, so she also had doubts in her heart.At this time, looking at Zhang Mu's anxious face, he stared at Zhang Mu and asked, "I saw that your expressions were not right this morning. Tell me the truth, is something wrong?"

Zhang Mu pursed his lips, for a moment he was afraid that Erniang Ding would think she caused trouble if he said it, but he was really worried that Wu Ling would suffer a loss if he went out impulsively, so he had to tell the whole story about meeting Chu Yuan last night and morning. "Mother, I'm afraid that something will happen to Ah Ling, so I'll go out and find him first!" As she spoke, she was about to run out.

Ding Erniang grabbed Zhang Mu, frowned and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the backyard and have a look. Maybe Ah Ling just nestled in that corner and fell asleep!"

In the backyard, the bamboo basket woven by Wu Ling had already been half woven, and Ding Erniang went to the pile of wood. The plane, shovel, whetstone, and saw blade were all neatly placed beside her, but there was only one thing missing. Take the axe!Ding Erniang groaned in her heart, Ah Ling must have sought revenge from Zhao Wen!
"Amu, the ax is gone. You said Mrs. Chu is out of town, so Ah Ling must have gone to ask Zhao!" Ding Erniang also ignored Zhang Mu at this time, and ran directly to Li Xiucai's house. It is said that Zhao Wen stays at Li Xiucai's house every day, and A Ling may have heard it too. The ax has been splitting wood for 20 years, and it needs to be sharpened from time to time, but it is very sharp. Why is this child A Ling so impulsive? Woolen cloth!
Zhang Mu hastily closed the door and ran after Ding Erniang.

Ding Erniang and Zhang Mu saw Ding Erye and Wu Ling at the entrance of Hulu Lane where Li Xiucai's house was located. Ding Erniang was holding a long object in his hand, wrapped in a piece of blue cloth. It can be seen that it was left over from her tailoring and thrown in the main room, and she planned to make a shoe upper when she had time.

When Zhang Mu saw Wu Ling, he breathed a sigh of relief, and went up to hold his hand, "A Ling, why did you come out without saying a word, my mother and I were worried to death!"

Wu Ling watched his daughter-in-law run away with sweat on her forehead, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe her sweat, and said with a smile, "Seeing you are busy, I didn't say hello!" He slipped out the back door.

Hearing Wu Ling's impudence, Second Master Ding glared at him. This kid is in such a hurry to do things, he rushes into people's houses with an ax in broad daylight!Don't treat him well when you go back!
In the afternoon, Wu Ling chopped wood for two hours in the backyard. When the chopping was finished, Wu Ling felt that his hands were about to shake off. Erye Ding was slowly weaving a bamboo basket on the side. He snorted coldly, "Don't you like axes, don't you like an axe? I'll chop next one!"

"Father, please forgive me! I was so angry that I was confused. If this happened to you, you would definitely come to the door with an axe!" Wu Ling said aggrievedly, but that kid Zhao Wen ran fast !Otherwise, he would have to chop his leg off! "Ouch!" Wu Ling suddenly felt a numbness in his leg, and cried out in pain. When he looked up, he saw Ding Erye swinging a bamboo stick.

"Stinky boy, did you ever say that to me!" What did he mean when this happened to him, Second Master Ding became furious when he thought of it, and waved a bamboo stick to Wu Ling's lap to greet him!

"Father, I'm just making a metaphor! Don't be angry!" Wu Ling said and jumped.

"It's not that I just happened to be at Li's house, are you going to start a killing spree! Why are you so brainless! You don't know to come secretly!" Ding Erye said angrily while smoking, he said today Zhao Wen was not there when he arrived at Li's house first, so he was about to go back, but when he turned around, he saw A Ling approaching angrily. he!However, Li Xiucai still saw the exposed corner of Lan Buli, and he was shocked immediately, and said in a trembling voice: "I, Mr. Li, have never been rude in front of others. I don't know what Mr. Wu's family meant by this?"

Ding Erye had no choice but to tell Zhao Wen's evil intentions. After Li Xiucai heard it, his face was flushed, and his teeth bit his lips with blood marks!Immediately, he gave a salute to Wu Ling, "It is Li who misunderstood his son and taught such a shameless student!"

In Wu Ling's heart, he only wanted to kill Zhao Wen, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Li Xiucai's apology. This time, he didn't need to make an apology. As long as he thought that Amu had almost suffered such a disaster, he just wanted to kill those people!
Seeing Wu Ling's expressionless face, Ding Erye had no choice but to say something nice to comfort Li Xiucai. We all belong to the same village and have lived together in the town for these years. He still has some understanding of Li Xiucai's character, and also Knowing that Li Xiucai's own family was also harmed by Zhao Wen, he didn't intend to embarrass this nerd who was full of saintly teachings.

At this moment, seeing that Ah Ling was still eloquent, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and unconsciously increased his strength with the bamboo stick in his hand. Wu Ling was just pretending to hide at first, so as to soften the master's heart, but he saw that the master was actually serious. , My heart skipped a beat, and I immediately wanted to run forward.

"You son of a bitch, stop!" Ding Erye yelled, Wu Ling had no choice but to stop obediently!He watched helplessly as a bamboo stick swung over again.

"You are so impulsive, and you will take an ax to smash people's doors when you encounter problems in the future. I will see how many lives you will survive. I have raised you for so many years, and you are still planning to let me take care of everything after your death!" The more Ding Erye thought about it, the angrier he became!

Wu Ling still had the determination to hack Zhao Wen to death before, but now that the master said this, a layer of guilt flashed in his heart, yes, if he really hacked Zhao Wen, he would definitely pay for his life, master master Don't talk about your kindness, what will Amu do!Wu Ling knelt down in frustration, and said in a low voice, "Father, I was reckless!"

Second Master Ding looked at Wu Ling's torn trousers, and felt that he had acted a little bit harshly. It's rare for this kid to be willing to wear two new clothes!Coughed, and said: "Just know what you have in mind, and you must never be so impulsive again in the future! In this life, there are many things that are aggrieved and hated. If everyone is like you, it would be a vast expanse of whiteness." , It's really clean!" Ding Erye continued to weave the bamboo basket while mocking, without calling Wu Ling to get up!

"Master, even if Zhao Wen can't be killed, I must teach Zhao Wen a lesson!" Otherwise, the bad breath in his heart would really suffocate him to death!

"I didn't say you can't teach him a lesson, just don't involve yourself in it!" Second Master Ding gave Wu Ling a sideways look, then lowered his head and continued with the bamboo stick in hand.

At night, Zhang Mu was sound asleep, and Wu Ling was still thinking about Zhao Wen with his eyes open. Not to mention the long distance to his house, there are many people with the same surname in Xishui Village. The eldest uncle can do it too, but he has a hunch that Amu doesn't like to trouble the Zhang family too much.Wu Ling thought about it, and thought it would be the easiest to take Zhao Wen back and forth to town, put a bag on him and beat him up!Sticks are readily available, and there are plenty of them in the store!You can also take the beauty away, scratch his face with bloodstains, and make him ashamed to see anyone in his life!

Wu Ling made a plan, looked at the daughter-in-law who was breathing evenly beside him, and leaned over to rub her face, "Amu, I will definitely protect you!" That day, on the street, he watched her sing and write Jujia pretended to cry for a while, and beat someone for a while, suddenly evoking a certain soft memory in his heart. There was a person who used to be like this. At that time, he couldn't protect her when he was young. Now, he must protect her. live in Amu.

The beauty quietly jumped onto the bed, clung to Zhang Mu's quilt, and nestled inside the bed. Wu Ling glared at it, but he didn't dare to move for fear of waking his wife, but saw the cat arrogantly throwing the cat away. Overhead, carelessly buried his head and fell asleep.

Wu Ling felt that the first thing to do tomorrow was to make the evil cat's crib, and let it sleep alone in the west room!

Li Xiucai has never felt so ashamed. He has been studying and educating people for more than ten years. Although there is only one student who passed the exam, he thinks that at least he has taught the students some principles of life and some gentleman's etiquette. , But I didn't expect that there would be such a conscientious student, and he was also his son-in-law!
He walked to his daughter's room, and saw her daughter sitting in front of the window with her belly in her hands, reading travel notes, just like a year ago, except for the conspicuous pregnant belly, his delicate daughter seemed to be the same, but, it seemed Not any more.

Seeing her father coming, Li Xiu'er got up in surprise, her father hadn't spoken to her for a long time, and now, finally, she was willing to talk to her, she had to coax her to make him talk to the county magistrate about her husband's affairs! "Father, you finally forgive me!" Li Xiu'er stepped forward and took Li Xiucai's arm, coquettishly said.

"Xiu'er, father gives you two choices. One is to make peace with Zhao Wen. I will ask your senior brother to find you a good husband in the county or other towns! Second, you go back to Zhao's house, you and I Sever the relationship between father and daughter!" Li Xiucai calmly finished these two sentences, which were a bolt from the blue for Li Xiuer!

"Mother, mother! Father doesn't want me anymore!" Li Xiu'er cried loudly at the top of her voice.

The Hong family who heard the news did not intercede for her.

Li Xiuer, who was in despair, was not as willing as Li Xiucai and Hong Shi to make peace with Zhao Wen, because Zhao Wen hadn't appeared in the town since yesterday, nor had she appeared in Xishui Village, except for Zhao's mother-in-law occasionally. After wailing twice in front of the Li family's gate, scolding the Li family for harming her son, there was no further news about Zhao Wen.
