Chapter 305 I Can't Laugh
Mo Chunxiang never expected that her parents, brothers and clansmen would all abandon her. She fainted in despair and fear, but was soon awakened by Xiong Kai.
In the next few days, Xiong Kai locked Mo Chunxiang at home and only gave her a cold, hard, rough steamed bun a day. Whenever she was in a bad mood, he would go in and beat her up.
The nearby villagers all heard Mo Chunxiang's screams.
Guan naturally got wind of the news and became so anxious that she went crazy. "Old man, you have to think of a solution quickly. If this continues, our Chunxiang will definitely not survive!"
Mo Laotian was also extremely anxious, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, "I've been thinking about it, don't push me anymore! The best way now is to ask Chunxiang's mother-in-law for help, and find the grandson. After all, Chunxiang is his mother, and the child can't just watch his mother being beaten to death, right?"
"Yes! Xiong Kai said he sent his mother and child away. Where could they have been sent to? His uncle's house? Liujiazhuang?" The more Guan thought about it, the more certain she became. She urged Mo Laotian to quickly leave for Liujiazhuang.
Mo Laotian immediately put on a heavy coat and went out of the village in the wind and snow. It was quite a distance from their place to Liujiazhuang, and it was really difficult for Mo Laotian to walk all the way. He finally found Niu Youfu's house, but when the people heard that he was here to ask about Niu and Xiong Feng, they picked up a broom and drove him out.
Mo Laotian was frustrated, but was unwilling to leave like this, so he had to ask people living near Niu Youfu. After confirming that Niu and Xiong Feng were not there, he went back dejectedly.
Since the person was not in Liujiazhuang, they could not think of a second possibility. They could only stare at Xiong Kaijia in agony every day, fearing that Mo Chunxiang would suddenly be beaten to death one day.
In the winter, when the villagers have nothing to do, they like to gossip about other people's affairs. If they happen to go to the market, they will know about everyone's affairs.
The news of Xiong Kai beating his wife spread as quickly as possible.
When Su Chunlin and Han received the news, their first reaction was not to gloat, but to wonder if Shen Yi would be back soon. After all, Xiong Kai was a cripple and had committed a crime and was exiled to the battlefield. If he could come back alive, there was no reason why Shen Yi and the others could not come back.
Su Changxi's family, who had the same guess as the couple, also came to inquire about the situation, as well as Ye An's wife and children.
Su Chunlin pondered and said, "I think they will definitely come back. The final list of the dead was delivered some time ago. No news is good news. If you really can't wait, we can go to the county to ask, or wait there. We can always wait."
Su Changxi nodded in agreement, "This method is feasible. It's winter and we're just sitting around doing nothing anyway. I'll go and wait!"
"I'll go too!" Su Chunlin immediately agreed.
Su Chunsen said that he also wanted to go together so that they could take care of each other.
After the ox cart set off, Han couldn't sit still and asked Su Ming to take her to Shenjiazhuang.
Su Tai was staying in a side room connected to a charcoal stove with her four children, writing, reading, and fiddling with small toys. When she heard the sound of the wood stakes, she hurried out to open the door.
"Mom, Ming? Come in quickly!"
Su Tai helped Su Ming to park the ox cart and took them to the wing room.
As soon as the door opened, a wave of warm air rushed up, and Han felt that her frozen body had softened a lot. Even her teeth were still chattering, and she could not speak clearly.
Su Tai brought some hot brown sugar ginger tea, and the two of them drank a big bowl of it before they came to their senses.
Han couldn't wait to say, "Xiaotai, Xiong Kai is back, and Shen Yi should be home soon. Your father and your uncle have gone to the county town to wait for someone, so you should hurry up and get ready. Clean the house and tidy up. Take out Shen Yi's things. There are also twins, a boy and a girl, which Shen Yi hasn't seen yet!"
Su Tai nodded hurriedly, "Mom, don't worry, I have prepared everything at home and am just waiting for him to come back. If the children were not too young, I would have gone to the county town to wait for them myself."
"Don't make trouble. I came to your place to wait for news and wait for Chen Yi to come back before leaving." Han said her plan.
Su Tai was a little surprised, "Mom, I never saw you come to stay with me for a few days when Shen Yi was not at home before."
Su Ming explained, "Because mother heard about Xiong Kai beating Mo Chunxiang, she was afraid that you might be in danger."
"Xiong Kai beat up Mo Chunxiang?" Su Tai really didn't know about this.
Su Ming suddenly became interested and told all the gossip he had heard, "Xiong Kai captured Mo Chunxiang who was hiding at her mother's house and beat her half to death. I heard that all the Mo family members and villagers of Ximen Village rushed over, but Mo Chunxiang had gone too far and no one was willing to stand up for her. Her parents begged everywhere but it was useless. Now they can only watch their precious daughter being beaten every day."
The more Su Tai listened, the more she felt it was unreliable. "A Ming, you believe this! You know how much the Mo family cherishes Mo Chunxiang! When Mo Chunxiang made a scene, her father broke off the engagement for her. How could he watch her get beaten? Besides, Mo Chunxiang still has a son. Xiong Kai would never do that!"
"Sister! How can you be so honest! The current Xiong Kai is no longer the same Xiong Kai of the past!" Su Ming came forward and said hurriedly, "I heard that he has become disabled and disfigured, and his temperament has become gloomy and weird. What's more! He sent his mother and son away in advance, and no one knows where they went. Mo Chunxiang is now helpless, and what can the Mo and Tian couple do when they feel distressed? They dare not confront the current Xiong Kai."
Han said, "Mother is worried because of what she heard. Anyway, Chen Yi will be home soon. I will leave after he comes back."
Su Tai felt warmed in the heart and hurried to the kitchen to prepare food.
Seeing that the adults were silent, the four children immediately surrounded Han and Su Ming, calling them grandma and little uncle one after another, and coaxed the two of them into a state of confusion.
At the same time, Shen Yi and his party also arrived at Lizhou Prefecture.
They had changed five waves of horses along the way, and they used all means to get back at this time.
Everyone was eager to go home and had no intention of staying in the capital city. They just stopped to buy some local specialties and then left.
Seeing the mottled walls of Zhaohua County from afar, Shen Dagou shouted excitedly: "We are finally back!"
"Hurry up! Let's compete to see who can enter the city first!" Su Sheng raised the whip, looking very excited.
The others were not to be outdone, and they all threw their reins and shouted as they charged forward.
Su Chunlin and his friends were squatting at the city gate. When they saw several carriages galloping through the snow in the distance, they pouted and said, "You idiots, you're still running like this in the heavy snow. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a carriage run into the ditch, and several carriages behind it also lost their rhythm.
Su Chunlin gloated, "What did I say? A bunch of idiots!"
Su Changxi rubbed his eyes vigorously, stared at it for a long time, and exclaimed: "No, that seems to be my Su Sheng! Look quickly, am I dazzled?"
