Chapter 115 Don't ask what you shouldn't ask
The morning light was dim, and the thin light penetrated the clouds.
The crowing of chickens in the countryside
rose and fell. The road was rugged and bumpy, and there were occasional rocks.
After driving the ox cart all night, Hu Dalang was not sleepy at all, and the eagerness in his eyes could not be hidden.
Hu Dazhu, who had not spoken all the way, slowly opened his mouth, his voice hoarse.
"Dalang."
He closed his eyes. In just one night, he had aged a lot: "Do you think Dad is wrong?"
This sentence without a beginning or an end made Hu Dalang stunned.
"What...what?"
Everyone knows how much Hu Dazhu values his niece.
Yu Tingwan's marriage was a bigger blow to him than the abuse of his newborn granddaughter.
Hu Dalang asked cautiously: "I know Dad is worried about stepmother, and the Wei family is indeed not a good match. But..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hu Dazhu: "Do you remember what I said to you when I brought stepmother back that year?"
I remember.
Hu Dazhu once asked him to kneel down in the direction of the county town with a solemn face.
"Your aunt is gone, kowtow to her three times."
"Da Lang, Dad wants you to remember that our family owes your aunt, and you have to remember it for the rest of your life."
"You must treat her like you treat Er Lang."
Hu Da Lang knew that Hu Da Zhu was completely heartbroken.
Not to mention Hu Da Zhu, even he felt bad. Stepmother
is so good, she should marry Second Brother, to make the relationship even closer!
How could... how could...
Wei Shen be so injured, how could he be worthy of Stepmother!
He was tongue-tied and could not say a word of comfort, so he continued to drive the horse in silence.
At this moment, the gossipy women headed by Mrs. Fan at the entrance of the village were sitting together and talking.
"The county town has been very lively these days, with crowds of people heading there."
"The Zhu family in the neighboring village is extremely poor. Their son was beaten to death by his client when he worked as a farmhand in the county town a few years ago. After the old couple got the news, they both limped to Ze County Post Station."
"I remember they were not lame originally. They reported to the police to seek justice for their son, and were arrested and had their legs broken. The constable was a relative of the Zhu family."
Mrs. Fan curled her lips and shook her head: "Those two people were miserable too."
"The son is gone, the daughter-in-law ran away with her lover, and they only left behind a grandson who fell seriously ill two years ago and didn't survive."
Someone lowered his voice: "Have you heard that the He family is in jail."
"Which He family?"
The man pointed mysteriously in the direction of the second branch of the Wei family.
"Who else could it be? The one who harmed Xiao Niang back then."
"Bah, that family is so heartless, I think this is retribution! If Hui Niang knew, she would be so happy."
When it comes to this, they can't help but say a few words.
"I don't know how Wei's Alang is doing. When he left, I chased him and took a look, and he was breathing less and breathing out more."
"They are also making a fuss, insisting on going out to see a doctor. Can he be cured? If they have the time, they might as well dig a hole next to Xiao Niang's grave and buy a coffin." "
Before Shouzhong left, he went around to raise money. If it weren't for the fact that he lived in a village, I wouldn't have given him a penny."
"If the treatment is useful, it's fine, but I'm afraid that the money will be spent and there will be no sound at all. With the little wealth of the Wei family, how can we expect them to pay it back? I don't know how long we have to wait."
Several people talked non-stop, and suddenly Mrs. Fan looked straight at one place with sharp eyes.
"Look, who's back!"
"Hu Dazhu! That's Hu Dazhu."
"Now there's something interesting to watch!"
Mrs. Fan was excited: "This is terrible, Wang Cuihua is finally in trouble!"
In the past, every time Hu Dazhu returned to the village, the villagers would greet him, and even ask about Erlang.
Especially these gossipy women.
They were extremely enthusiastic.
Hu Dazhu was able to stand up straight.
But at this moment, those people standing at the entrance of the village pointed at him.
Especially Mrs. Fan.
Mrs. Fan said loudly: "Dazhu, you are finally back, go and take care of your wife!"
"If it were me, I would never tolerate such a vicious and stupid woman."
"It's okay to torment the child, after all, it's a girl. Even if she is dead, Dalang and the others can give birth again in the future."
"But she is torturing stepmother, and I, an outsider, can't stand it."
Mrs. Fan raised her chin and sighed hypocritically: "Your biological sister is stepmother's daughter. People, you must never forget your roots. We all dare not mention a word about what happened in the past, for fear that stepmother will resent you. But we don't say it, you can't pretend it didn't happen."
Hu Dazhu didn't dare to listen to a word.
Over the years, he often had nightmares.
In the dream, the little sister looked at him with tears and hatred.
Hu Dazhu had a gloomy face and didn't respond. He directly asked Hu Dalang to rush home.
"Dad."
Hu Dalang was puzzled: "What is the past?"
Hu Dazhu said sternly: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"
Seeing that the ox cart took the people away, Mrs. Fan spat on the ground.
"What the hell."
"Do you really think you are a good thing?"
Her outburst just now scared the women around.
"Please calm down. That happened so long ago. Why are you still bringing it up? Haven't you been beaten enough by your man?"
Mrs. Fan shrank her neck when she heard that.
She was still afraid of being beaten.
But...
the more angry Hu Dazhu was, the more Wang Cuihua would suffer, the happier she would be!
————
The Hu family.
Wang didn't know that danger was coming.
She was sitting in the yard eating melon seeds, and her face didn't look very good.
The young wife of the Wu family next door went into labor last night and gave birth to a son.
Listening to the laughter next door, Wang's face was gloomy.
What's the big deal!
She was upset and couldn't even eat the melon seeds.
She stood up and went to Xiao Xu's room.
Swearing!
"You are useless!"
"You came home earlier than the wife next door, and you were diagnosed with pregnancy earlier than her."
"The neighbor cooks eggs for her, so I don't miss yours?"
"The neighbor doesn't let her go to the fields, so you are tired at home?"
"Why do you give birth to a money-losing child when others give birth to sons?"
Little Xu didn't dare to say anything and lowered her head.
The baby girl next to her was coaxed to sleep, but was awakened again. She
didn't even open her eyes, but cried as soon as she opened her mouth, and her cry was like a cat's meow.
Very weak.
"Bang".
The door of the Hu family was kicked open.
Wang turned her head to see.
"The head of the family is finally back?"
Her face was full of joy, and she didn't teach Little Xu a lesson, but hurried to greet him.
"Where is Erlang? Didn't Erlang come back with you?"
"You were not at home, and this year was particularly lonely. Fortunately, you are back. Seeing that you have lost weight, you need to make up for it. I'll go cut some meat and cook a few delicious dishes for you."
Wang's smile became bigger and bigger, and then she realized something was wrong.
Hu Dazhu looked at her gloomily.
It was like he was looking at an enemy.
This look was terrifying.
It reminded her of more than 20 years ago. Hu Dazhu had also looked at him like this.
At that time, he even wanted to divorce her. If it weren't for his parents-in-law stopping him...
Wang couldn't help but take a few steps back.
But Hu Dazhu strode forward, raised his hand without saying anything, and slapped her hard.
