in spring

Chapter 98 The Mustache's Roar
Chunying stood by the door to listen to the movement in the room, and when she saw something flying out, she immediately shrank her head.

Mrs. Cheng was crying and making a fuss, and she insisted on asking her husband to give an explanation.Uncle Cheng just sat on the sidelines and waited until she was tired and stopped to take a breath, then said indifferently: "You are comfortable at home, how do you know the hardships I have when I am outside? I am away all year round, and there is no one around me There is no one who knows the heat, but over the years, I have never felt sorry for you. It is just that when I occasionally talk to people about business, I just look for a fan to relieve boredom. I never bring it home to make you angry. You don't go out to inquire, where can I find an honest man like me? What's the trouble with you?"

Aunt Cheng suddenly became angry: "I worked so hard to take care of the housework for you, saving this family business, seeing that my son is about to grow up, but you are fooling around with some dubious women outside. Said, brought it home, and still have the face to say that I’m not sorry?!” She dropped a few brand new tights, and she knew that they didn’t fit her size: “Look what these are ?! The one who killed a thousand swords! Let me know who she is, and I tore her up!" After saying that, she felt sad and burst into tears.

Chunying nodded secretly when she heard it. Although Mrs. Cheng's approach was not smart, it seems that Uncle Cheng is so righteous, it doesn't seem too good, right?But those close-fitting dresses were really light, soft and flimsy, and judging from the size, the owner seemed to be a woman with a good figure. Looking at Mrs. Cheng's fat waist, she sighed and shook her head.Men have always loved young beauties...

Uncle Cheng heard impatiently: "You also said that? I think for the sake of our two sons and our long-term relationship between husband and wife, I don't care about it with you. If you shut up as soon as possible, this kind of thing will be ignored." Take it to the neighbors and say it is your fault!" He looked at the sky outside: "I will not come back tonight, you will continue to live with your brother, go ahead! If you want to move back, you must first move the house. Take care of it, I will treat my friends to dinner in a few days, don't embarrass me."

Aunt Cheng cried, her eyes widened with anger: "You...you...you actually want to spend the night at that pink place?!" He just came home!
"That's not a fan!" Uncle Cheng frowned, "I met a colleague on the road, and his family has a big business. I intend to partner with him to open a big cloth shop in Beijing. I even look at the shop. He has a wife and sister from a concubine, who is only 19 years old this year. He was wronged and made me the second room. He has already placed wine in the south. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, so I bought a yard for her outside. Don’t worry. , I won't ask her to come over to trouble you."

Mrs. Cheng was too angry to speak.She saves thousands and thousands of dollars, and she is not even willing to buy new clothes and jewelry for herself. When the furniture at home is broken, or the roof leaks, she only asks her younger brother to repair it, just to save the craftsman's fee. Outside without saying a word, she bought the outer house, and looked at those enchanting clothes, the materials and handwork were not cheap, she seemed to have seen some gold jewelry just now, maybe they were also bought for that vixen.Her husband was so generous to other women, but he spoke coldly to her, and didn't ask that bitch to come back and set the rules for her. She was so sad that she burst into tears and threw herself on her husband, biting his shoulder hard. , I couldn't bear to bite off a piece of his flesh.

Uncle Cheng suffered from the pain and tried to throw his wife away, but he couldn't shake off for a while, his face turned pale from the pain.Chunying watched nervously, approached the room carefully, and persuaded a few times meaningfully: "Ma'am... Ma'am, calm down! You have something to say!" But there was no sign of stepping forward to pull people.

Uncle Cheng hurriedly got rid of his wife, and Aunt Cheng simply sat down on the ground and cried out. Uncle Cheng hugged the bleeding shoulder and walked out with a look of boredom. When he saw Chunying, he cursed: "Damn you!" Girl, don’t you hurry up and get me some medicine and a clean cloth?! You’re just eating dry food?!”

Chunying was annoyed, and sneered: "I'm not the girl of the uncle's house, why do you order me around? What does it matter to you whether I eat or not?!"

Uncle Cheng was ashamed and annoyed, but after thinking about it, he knew how could he buy a girl with his wife's mean temper?Even the wealthy wife and younger brother are managed by her so that they dare not even hire a servant. This is really the experience of a small family. A rich man like him should have the pomp of a rich man. Dao, it's better to be a girl of our family.

Thinking of this, he simply put aside his wife's crying, found a clean handkerchief to cover the wound, and hurried out to the outer house.

Chunying snorted secretly, then moved lightly to the door, and called out tentatively: "Ma'am..." and was immediately interrupted by the flying vase.Mrs. Cheng cried, "Get out!" She stamped her feet and beat her chest again, tears and snot all over her nose.

Chunying shrunk her head, quickly left the door, curled her lips.Uncle Cheng is certainly at fault, and Aunt Cheng is not innocent either. Just like shopkeeper Shi said that day, after so many years of letting her husband travel around and seeing only those few times a year, who can guarantee that he will not have a different heart?It's not such a way to make money, is it?

She took another look at the things scattered on the ground in the house, knowing that when Mrs. Cheng calmed down after crying, she would regret it unceasingly, and she didn't know if she would vent her anger on herself.She rolled her eyes, and simply ran out, dodging for the time being, at worst, go back to Yunxiang Pavilion directly to find shopkeeper Shi.

But as soon as she closed the courtyard door, she turned her head and saw the opposite courtyard, and stopped.What the woman said to her earlier weighed heavily on her heart.Thinking that Mustache was her old acquaintance anyway, and had helped her a lot, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

The door was unlocked, and she opened it with a slight push. When she walked in, the courtyard was still in a mess, as if no one had tidied it up since that day.Chunying picked up a broken bench casually, walked into the main room, and saw on the table in the middle of the room, there was a very simple spiritual tablet, which wrote "therefore shows the position of the concubine Chao, and the unfilial son Hu Feili". A word, there is half a stick of incense sticking in the small furnace in front of the coffin, and the white candles on both sides have been burned out.

She thought to herself, it turns out that Mustache's real name is Hu Fei?Suddenly, he heard a slight sound coming from the direction of the wing, and hurried over.

Hu Fei was wearing an old gray cloth, with white cloth strips tied on his head, and he was holding the same old cloth in his hand, which he probably bought from a clothing estimate shop.He tore off a sleeve of the old clothes, put it in a nearby bowl and dipped it in the water, and the fabric slowly changed color.

Chunying smelled that it was oil, and was a little puzzled: "What are you doing?!" Hu Fei was taken aback, and hurriedly took a broken skip to cover the thing, and turned his head uncomfortably: "Little sister Chunying , how did you come?"

Seeing that he wanted to hide it, Chunying didn't want to ask, so she said, "Why do you seem very unhappy to see me? But did I offend you?"

Hu Fei blushed: "No! How could it be?!" He glanced at Chunying, then lowered his head: "I know you are a good person... Back then, you helped me get married with Brother Xu, and you made me some money. A while ago, thanks to the money, I was able to ask a doctor to prescribe medicine for my mother..." His eyes were red, "It's a pity that I am useless and can't save my mother. If it wasn't for the help from the neighbors, I would have lost my mother." I can't do anything after that..."

Chun Ying hurriedly persuaded: "How can you blame this? The so-called life and death have fate... Cough, in short, you live a good life in the future, and your mother will be happy for you when she finds out under the spring. Don't be sad anymore." After a pause, he continued: "I heard from the neighbor's aunt that...you don't seem to have found a way to make a living... In fact, this person is very adaptable. The so-called man can bend and stretch, so he will suffer a little bit temporarily. Is it for a better life in the future? Uh..." She really didn't know what to say, she wanted to say it bluntly, and was afraid of hurting the self-esteem of the mustache, but she really thought so in her heart.Before crossing over, why did you ever think that she would be a girl?How could she have expected that she would have to endure being scolded all day long and working non-stop when she was working as an errand in the Hou Mansion?In the end, she still got used to it. It can be seen that if a person changes the environment, as long as he wants to persist, he can still survive.

Hu Fei's complexion changed, and he said with a wry smile: "I also want to live a good life...it's a pity that some people can't tolerate me..." He hesitated to speak to Chunying, and finally sighed: "I'm not afraid of the little girl making fun of me. After listening to my words, I would only think that I was talking nonsense. At the beginning, I was very willing to work in the school. I had never done chores since I was a child, and I was a bit clumsy, which made my husband angry, so I had to admit it. There are tea shops all over the building, but it's not that I can't be ashamed... It was fine at first, but then someone came to trip me up, and I knew who it was, and I knew who ordered them to come..."

He gritted his teeth: "It turned out to be brothers and sisters. He drove my mother and son out of the house. He was cruel enough. I didn't expect that he would not even give me a way to survive! It was obvious that he wanted to force me to leave the capital! I I've already yielded again and again, and I can't bear it any longer!" He punched the table, and the broken pan shook and tilted, revealing the oily cloth underneath.

Chunying saw a few pieces of flint inside with a sharp eye, and suddenly had an idea, and was horrified: "Where did you get these things?! Could it be setting fire? Burning who?!"

Hu Fei hurriedly covered those things, his face changed again and again, Chunying opened him vigorously, pulled out the flint and tarpaulin, and saw four or five thick wooden sticks lying on the surface of the chair next to him, and grabbed it. He asked, "Are you making a torch?! You..."

Hu Fei broke away from her angrily, and said angrily: "He is so cruel, why should I care about the old relationship?! Isn't he relying on the family business? I'll go and burn it all for him. Let's see what he has to rely on!"

"Are you crazy? You will go to jail for setting fire!" If someone is burned to death, the crime is even more serious.

"If I go to jail, I will go to jail. I can't live anyway. Even if I die, I will take him with me! I want to see his family fall into ruins and become worthless, and see how arrogant he is!" Hu Fei's expression was a little ferocious. , with a hint of madness in his eyes.

Chunying felt sad and angry at the same time, and simply punched her: "Are you worthy of your parents like this?! Are you worthy of the neighbors who kindly helped you?! Those family fortunes were earned by your own father! No matter how angry you are, no matter how wronged you are, you can't hurt others like this! If you really set that fire on, and die later, what face will you have to see your father?!"

Hu Fei was stunned by her punch, and after hearing her words, he felt all the grief in his heart: "I know it's wrong to do this, but I can't bear it! I have grown up and kept myself safe, and my mother even It’s just swallowing your anger. Our mother and son lived in peace and contentment, and never dreamed about what we shouldn’t get. My mother...every day went to set rules in front of that woman, she didn’t dare to speak loudly, and often persuaded my father to go to see that woman When I was young, I called her mother a few times. Every time, she was afraid for a long time. She didn't hear me call mother until she left Hu's house. Within two days... I never thought of being greedy for my father. As for property, my father also mentioned it to me. After a few years when I get married, I will share a farm and a house. When he dies in the future, he can take my mother out to live. We have always kept our duties...always ..."

He scratched his neckline with trembling hands, his nails scratched the skin, and scratched a few red marks, his expression was filled with grief.Chunying couldn't bear to see it, and hurriedly said: "Stop talking, calm down..."

"I can't calm down!" Hu Fei roared, "I don't understand why they can't tolerate us! Father is so seriously ill, and only my mother and I are by his side to take care of him. The two of them, mother and son, only care about business and business! I took the medicine once! Dad’s condition has obviously improved, and my mother and I were too tired to rest for a while, why did he go all of a sudden?! It must be their fault! They are so cruel... "

Chun Ying was shocked when she heard the words: "Didn't your father die of illness?!"
