Chapter 40

dong dong dong~~
The outside door was knocked violently, sounding irritable and impatient, Wu was awakened from sleep, looking at another small and dirty bed in the dilapidated house, a pair of children also opened their eyes in horror. Coming over, a strong sense of disgust appeared in her eyes.

This way of knocking on the door is not unfamiliar, it always rings after Cheng Dagui owes gambling debts.Accompanied by the shouting and cursing after a few tall and strong men came in, and then the coppers that had been saved for several days were searched away, and the same valuable furniture and utensils were searched away. Up to now, only Broken things that cannot be sold for money are left in the house.

Wu stood up numbly. After getting dressed, she went outside and opened the door. Just as she was about to say that the family had no money, the man who came in looked her up and down, and then held out a piece of paper with densely written It was full of words, she didn't understand, she just waited coldly for what the man said.

"Follow me, you have already been lost to us by Cheng Dagui." The man looked at Wu's appearance with some dissatisfaction, and cursed secretly in his heart, this way he would not be able to sell for much money.

A crack finally appeared on Wu's cold and numb face. She stretched out her trembling hand towards the piece of paper, but the man pulled it back: "What do you want?"

"By, lost?" Wu asked dryly.

"Yes, hurry up, follow along, don't waste your time, you don't know how much you can sell for." The man grabbed her arm and pulled it away.

"Let go." Wu shrieked, shaking off the man's arm.

Before the man got angry, she explained: "I'll go and talk to the child, give me some time."

"Hurry up, hurry up." The man didn't want to bother, if she struggled, and it wasn't easy for him to take him away, he just let her in.

Wu Shi's dazed expression just now became calm now, her sallow face was tightened, and her already yellow eyeballs also showed a kind of determination to risk everything.

"Come here, listen to Mother." She walked into the room and waved to the two children.

Boys and girls came over, Wu stretched out her hand to touch their faces, the two children looked at her in amazement, as long as they could remember, the mother had always been indifferent, and sometimes even showed a kind of deep-seated affection towards them. Disgusted, except for cooking for them, there is almost no communication.Therefore, her actions surprised both children.

In their hearts, mother is better than father anyway, at least they will not be beaten and scolded by others easily, and even take away their cooking money for the next day.

"Mom is gone, don't blame me, I can't do anything. If you really don't want to be with dad, go to your uncle or second uncle. Remember, you have to learn to cry and pretend to be weak, so that you can live. If they don't I would like to take you in, so I will go outside. Live as you can.”

After Wu Shi said these inexplicable words, when the two children were still in a daze, she stood up and walked outside.

"Let's go." After saying to the impatient man who was waiting, Mrs. Wu walked straight ahead.

The door was closed by the man, so he didn't want to be entangled by the two crying children who ran over.

The two walked forward, the man couldn't help being curious after a while, the woman couldn't find any fear or panic, she just walked forward very indifferently, her pace was not slow at all, and she was even very slow. Hurry up, you need to take a big step to keep up.

"Hey, don't you know that your husband lost you? He lost at the casino." The man asked.

"I know, you've said it before." Mrs. Wu replied.

"You know? Are you not afraid that we will sell you somewhere?"

"It doesn't matter."

Seeing her calm look, the man couldn't help being a little angry. He couldn't see her look, and said provocatively: "You don't know, he didn't have to lose you. They said they would bet on the child with him, anyway, my daughter Sooner or later, he will get married and pay a lot of dowry, so he can just sell it early, but he actually proposed to bet on his wife. Hahaha, it may be because the old Bai who gambled with him has a beautiful little wife. It's just that I thought about it, but I didn't expect him to lose at all." The man smiled wildly and rudely, Wu turned his head to look at the river next to him, and said nothing.

"You look like this, you are old and ugly, there is no place for you, so you can just sell it to the lowest kiln, and you can go there for a few coppers to vent your anger. Anyway, when you close your eyes, you don't know what it is like, you It can still be used below.”

"Can I see him?" Wu's hands trembled, and he clenched his hands tightly by his side, asking the angry and pleased man.

"Haha, yes, yes, why not. Let you continue your old relationship."

Just as they were talking, it happened that Cheng Dagui walked over under the guard of another tall man.

After the four of them got together, Cheng Dagui's rare eyes flickered, and he evasively refused to look at Wu Shi.

Wu Shi looked at him quietly for a while, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to the two: "You two gentlemen, please let me get along with him for the last time, you go over there and wait, okay?"

After all, she knelt down without any hesitation.

The two looked at each other, and felt that they couldn't do anything because they were so close, so they nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Wu was walking in the direction of Cheng Dagui, but he couldn't help but back away.

"What? Are you scared?" Wu asked.

"Smelly woman, what's the matter with you farting? You want to kowtow to me, please don't sell you?" Cheng Dagui became furious, and soon returned to that look.

Wu suddenly smiled, shook her head, lowered her voice, and said with some pleading: "I beg you, I won't be here in the future, can you stop gambling? Take care of the children."

Cheng Dagui didn't want this woman to show weakness to him. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said: "Impossible, anyway, you once said that I have always had this kind of virtue all my life. Why did I change my temper halfway and let your Is the prediction not accurate?" At this time, Cheng Dagui still couldn't hold back his desire to severely restrain Wu Shi.

Wu Shi didn't respond, just nodded, leaned against Cheng Dagui again, stretched out her hands, and hugged him with that weak look.

The two men on the side snorted a few times, swearing at shamelessness and the like.

After a while, the man who was looking for Mrs. Wu just now took a look there, then stood up suddenly, and rushed over with another man.

The two ran very fast, but not faster than Wu Shi. As soon as she let go, Cheng Dagui fell to the ground, and then she threw herself into the river next to her without looking back. There was only a burst of bubbles coming out, and when the two came to the river, there was nothing but peace.

"Do you want to go down and fish?" One of them swallowed his saliva and asked, he never thought that this woman would be so ruthless, not only to others, but also to herself, she would jump into the river after killing her own man.

"No, this woman won't be able to sell for a lot of money. Go back to his house and talk about it. If she wants to die, she may die. If you go down, maybe she will become a water ghost and drag you down."

The two walked to Cheng Dagui's side, only to find that there was a sharp iron awl on Cheng Dagui's chest, the thickness of a little finger, and it was still bleeding slowly.The two squatted down, Cheng Dagui's body was still twitching, but the two pupils had already begun to expand, and there was a crackling sound in his throat.

"This bitch is so fucking ruthless. If you say kill someone, kill him."

"Go back and tell the boss. By the way, do you want to report to the police?"

"No, let's drag it aside so that no one can watch it. Let's go to his house and see if it's worth selling the house or selling those two brats."

The two carried Cheng Dagui's body to a nearby grove, and barely covered it with some dead branches before leaving.

In Cheng's courtyard.

After putting the two little dolls in place, Qiaoqiao boiled water outside, while Ning shi cleaned and tidied up Jasmine in the house. Three men stood outside, not knowing where to put their hands and feet. It was Cheng Zhiyuan who was more awake and helped Qiaoqiao fetch water. Chopping firewood, rolling his eyes at the two men who got caught up with two sons and two grandchildren.

The family is very busy, but very happy.

"Qiaoqiao, bring a bowl of porridge for your sister-in-law." After finishing everything, Ning also felt a little hungry. Thinking of Jasmine's painstaking efforts to give birth to the child, she must be exhausted and need to replenish her body .

Before Qiaoqiao's legs entered the house, Ning stopped her, took the porridge bowl, and said to her: "Go and ask your father for some money, and then let him or your little brother take you to buy some Pork, by the way, bring some medicinal materials for making soup, as soon as you go to those medicinal material shops and tell them, they will know to weigh some for you. Go."

"it is good."

"Mother, don't be so troublesome...the money is not much..." Jasmine lay on the bed, softly dissuading her.

"Don't worry about it, just lie down and rest."

With two slings of money in her pocket, Qiaoqiao followed Cheng Zhiyuan to the town. Originally, the family also prepared some soup tonics, but Jasmine added two at once. Ning suddenly felt that the little at home was not enough, so she did not hesitate to spend money I asked my daughter to buy more to make up for the big hero in the family.

After arriving in the town, the two brothers and sisters first went to the market to weigh a few catties of pork, and then went to the medicine shop.

After picking and choosing for a long time, Qiaoqiao took out a dime plus ten coppers and gave it to the drug boy, and reluctantly walked out.

It’s really easy to spend money and hard to make money, Qiaoqiao shouted in her heart, she must work harder in the future, double the money, thinking in her heart, while looking at the little brother walking beside him, the little brother is already very tall, He looks much better than his eldest brother, and has a bit of motherly traces. There are more little girls in the village who secretly look at him than there were back then.

The two siblings came back after walking for more than half an hour. As soon as they entered the house, they saw their mother standing by the door frame with a dull expression.

"Mother, what's the matter?" At this time, shouldn't mother be busy with her face full of joy?
Ning came back to her senses, looked at the two children, and sighed faintly: "Your third uncle and your third aunt are dead. Now, your uncle and your father have gone to his house, one is to pay off the debts owed, two It was to see what to do with the house and the two children."

The news was like a thunderbolt. The two of them stayed on the spot in shock, and it took a long time to react. Cheng Zhiyuan didn't speak, and silently lowered his head and brought the pork he bought into the kitchen.

"Mother, how did you die?" Although Qiaoqiao didn't like the couple, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, don't mention it, you don't need to know, what I'm worried about is..." Ning said this vaguely and stopped talking, looking at Qiaoqiao in a daze.

The whole family waited anxiously, and the three of them asked to go to see it several times, but Ning refused. She really didn't want the next generation to get involved in this kind of thing, and avoided it as much as possible. Just let Cheng Daman go alone, and no one else can say anything.

Ning knew that this day would come sooner or later, so she didn't feel any shock or sadness. In her opinion, the couple deserved to be blamed. However, after suffering the two children, she frowned slightly when she thought of the children.

Cheng Daman didn't come back until it was dark.The whole family rushed out to greet them, and Ning asked first, "How is it?"

"Dagui's body was carried back. Today, my eldest brother paid in advance to buy a coffin. As for the body of Dagui's wife, I can't find it. I found some people to salvage it for a day, but I couldn't find it. It was probably buried along the river. Flushed away."

"Don't be sad." Ning walked over to hold Cheng Daman's hand, and patted it gently.

"Hey... how did you get to this point?" Cheng Daman's eyes turned red. He still has some affection for this younger brother, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

Qiaoqiao and the few of them didn't know the specific situation, but they also knew that it was inconvenient to ask right now, so they could only keep silent and wait quietly.It's a pity that the big happy event of just having a pair of twins has been diluted and suppressed.

In the next few days, Cheng Daman was busy with his brother's funeral, and had no time to come back for several nights.On the day of the funeral, Ning took her daughter and youngest son with her, leaving her eldest son and daughter-in-law at home.

Looking at the coffin that was buried in the ground, Ning felt that everything was over, and all the annoyance from before was also buried in it. When everything was over, she took the child back home ahead of schedule.Concentrate on taking care of Jasmine who is inevitably somewhat neglected these days.

She knew that there were some things that Cheng Daman and his eldest brother needed to discuss and resolve, such as debts and the two children left behind, but what she didn't expect, including everyone in the Cheng family, was that , when Cheng Daman returned home, he pulled out a little girl from behind, with a slightly embarrassed face, but he quickly recovered, lowered his head and said to the girl who looked somewhat similar to Wu's: "Come on, say hello, today From now on, this is your mother and your brothers and sisters."
