Chapter 78 Crazy Woman
“My sister asked my brother-in-law to look for someone, and they went to the Kang family compound in the east of the city. After seeing that my cousin had secretly married someone, my sister was so angry that she didn’t want to care anymore.
Later I heard that the two had returned to their hometown. The next news I heard from them was in this letter my cousin sent me after my parents passed away.
At that time, I also thought about bringing her back, but when I saw that there was not even an address on the letter, the idea gave up.
We haven't had any contact since then. I don't know why the adults suddenly asked, but is my sister's matter related to her? ”
Shen Shixu did not answer his question directly, because now they are just guessing, “It’s just some ideas. When the case comes to light one day, I will send someone to inform you.
Uncle, you should also take care of your health and don’t let your son continue to worry about you. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave now. ”
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi left Fang's house. Shen Shixu got a clue that made him feel good. He stretched and said to Xiao Jinyi who had been silently accompanying him, "Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal first. After the meal, we'll rush to Guirong Town."
The two men found a place to eat something, and after asking someone where Guirong Town was, they rode their horses there.
When they were leaving the city, they met Jiang Miaokong, who followed them after knowing that they had clues.
The three of them ran for half a day and arrived at Guirong Town before dark.
As it was getting late, they wanted to find an inn to rest. When they were looking for an inn, they saw that the waiter of the inn they wanted to stay in drove out a crazy woman.
Everyone has a tendency to sympathize with the weak. Jiang Miaokong couldn't help it when he saw this scene, so he went over and started arguing with the waiter.
Chen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi went over to help the woman who was pushed down. The woman looked crazy and her hair was disheveled, but the clothes she wore were made of very fine material, and it was obvious that her family still cared about her very much.
I just don't know why, if you care about her so much, you leave her alone outside. Doesn't she know that she will be easily bullied in her situation?
When Shen Shixu was thinking about helping her find her family, the woman grabbed his hand and looked at him with a happy smile.
"Ah, you are so handsome, even more handsome than my son. Come and be my son. I tell you, my brother and sister are both amazing. You will definitely not suffer any loss if you become my son."
Shen Shixu thought he might be crazy, otherwise why would he think that when this crazy woman mentioned her brother and sister, she was the Fang Keru they were looking for.
"Then tell me what your brother's name is? And your sister, where are they now?"
Shen Shixu asked this question, not only because he wanted to know if this person was the Fang Keru they were looking for, but also because he wanted to get it clear so that he could send her back.
"My brother is very fierce. He despises me for being stupid. My sister is very gentle and kind, but she was also pissed off by me."
She said a lot but none of them were useful. Shen Shixu had no choice but to ask the waiter who had quarreled with Jiang Miaokong.
"Hey, little brother, do you know where her home is? I want to take her back."
Shen Shixu asked as he stuffed a few copper coins into the waiter's hand. The waiter weighed the coins in his hand, then said with a smile, "This crazy girl has no one at home. She married here from outside. Her husband is a poor scholar. In fact, we all say in private that she was deceived and came back."
The waiter looked around the store and saw that no one had noticed this place yet, so he pulled them aside and whispered, "My family and that poor scholar live in the same alley. I saw her when I was a kid before she went crazy. She was so pretty, and she didn't look like someone from our town at all.
I've heard my mother say some sour words before. It turns out that this woman was actually deceived by that poor scholar. The scholar's family already had a child bride bought during a year of famine, and that child bride gave birth to a daughter for him.
But their family was not satisfied. They wanted a son, but the child bride was tortured by them and could not give birth anymore.
He decided to remarry, but his family had no money and he wasn't a very nice person, so no one would be willing to marry him knowing his situation.
Later I heard that he went to the city to take an exam, and when he came back he brought this madman back. At that time, the madman was dressed very beautifully, in a suit of silk and satin, with gold and silver jewelry on his head.
I heard that family came out to brag that she was a daughter from a wealthy family, and that they wanted to marry the poor scholar because he had potential.
But in fact, everyone living in our alley knew that it must be a poor scholar who saw that the rich girl was rich and beautiful, and used sweet words to trick her into coming here.
They lived a peaceful life at the beginning, until this crazy woman gave birth to a child. Everything changed after the child was born.
The child was very good-looking, too good to be the son of the poor scholar. Then the family suspected that the woman was having an affair with another man, so they beat her lightly every day and heavily every three days.
They also forced her to write a letter to her parents' home asking for money, but when the crazy woman refused to write, the family beat her even more severely.
Later, for some reason, the woman went crazy. That family also started to have accidents. The old man fell and became paralyzed on one side of his body. He died a few days later.
The child bride also ran away with the money and her daughter. As for the child born by the crazy woman, it seemed that he was sold. The poor scholar himself fell into a well and drowned while drunk.
This crazy woman is the only one left at home. Others look at her with pity. Today your family gives her food, and that family gives her something to drink, which has allowed her to live for so many years.
What’s strange is that a while ago a very handsome man came to see the woman and said he was her nephew from her mother’s side and had been taking care of her for several days.
The clothes she was wearing were bought by her nephew. After taking care of her for a few days, the man left. He only left some money to his neighbors, asking them to continue taking care of him.
That’s all I know. I have other things to do in the store, so I’ll go get busy first. ”
After listening to what the waiter said, Shen Shixu knew that the crazy woman was Fang Keru, and the handsome man who came to visit her before should be her son.
But in order to confirm it, Shen Shixu asked Jiang Miaokong, "Song Zhuoyang had been with you before, have you two ever been to this place?"
Jiang Miaokong shook his head, "No, this is my first time here! Song Zhuoyang is even more impossible, he left home early to learn from a master, and in terms of familiarity with Qucheng, he is not as good as me!
I didn't even know there was such a town in Qucheng, so it was even less likely that he knew. ”
Shen Shixu nodded, and then asked: "Can you draw? Draw Song Zhuoyang's appearance and show it to the waiter later to see if the handsome man he mentioned has Song Zhuoyang's face."
