Chapter 12 Anxious to Leave
Yu Tingwan suddenly came back to her senses from the picture, no longer wanting to sleep.
She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
A feeling of suffocation came over her.
Her heartbeat was like a drum, and the helplessness and sadness of her previous life was like an airtight cage, drowning her with irresistible momentum.
The little girl grabbed the collar at her heart and had difficulty breathing.
She was eager to leave the Hu family and didn't want to wait a moment.
At the same time, Ze County.
There were all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street.
In addition to the surging crowd, many soldiers could be vaguely seen patrolling.
"Your sister-in-law insisted on having some facial cream, but she didn't think about it. Is it necessary to spend money on her face?" It
would be ugly no matter how you use it.
Hu Dalang complained in his ears, but Hu Yaozu's mind fell on the finely crafted wooden hairpin on the stall.
He took out a copper coin to pay.
Hu Dalang narrowed his eyes: "For my cousin?"
Hu Yaozu was dressed in a student's uniform, and he was very gentle. It formed a sharp contrast with the rough Hu Dalang who could only dig for food in the fields.
He pressed the wooden hairpin to his chest, his ears felt hot, he neither admitted nor objected, he just kept walking forward.
The two returned to the town from Ze County and headed towards the inn.
On the way, an old man called Hu Yaozu in surprise.
Half an incense stick later, Hu Dalang walked in from outside with a red face and shouted: "Dad, we ran into Master Chu on the way back. He saw Yaozu was still in the town and wanted to invite him to his home for the New Year."
It can be seen how much Master Chu values Yaozu. How can he not be excited as the eldest brother!
Hu Yaozu was also happy, but also embarrassed: "But if I go, I can't spend the New Year with my father and eldest brother."
"I have your eldest brother by my side, so why do you need to worry about me?"
Hu Dazhu was also excited, but he was more stable than Hu Dalang: "This is a good thing, how many people can't ask for it. Master Chu usually takes care of you, you can't go to his house empty-handed, look back and see what you have to bring. The family is counting on you to make a name for yourself."
Hu Yaozu hurriedly agreed.
Hu Dalang told Hu Dazhui the news he had heard: "It's almost the end of the year, and many people come to the town to buy New Year's goods. This road is blocked, and there are many people like us who can't go back. There are also caravans that buy medicinal materials every year, and escorts who deliver goods. The inns are full. Fortunately, we booked it quickly."
"There are more soldiers patrolling nearby. I heard that in a few days, the coffin of General Wei at the border will have to pass through Ze County. It's not far from here. There are many white lanterns hanging on the streets, and many officials from Shangjing have been sent to pick it up."
"The war was won, so how come people died."
He wanted to say something, but he saw that Hu Dazhui didn't hear a word he said, but frowned.
He kept silent and asked Hu Yaozu on the side in a low voice.
"Dad was so happy just now, what's wrong?"
Hu Yaozu whispered: "He must be thinking about his younger sister."
Hu Dalang squinted: "Don't you miss her?"
The former's face suddenly turned red.
Hu Dazhu didn't hear what they said, and sighed worriedly: "I'm worried that your mother treats her badly."
Hu Dalang choked, thought of something, and rubbed his nose guiltily: "If you don't know, you would think that my cousin is my father's biological daughter."
"Your aunt passed away early, is it wrong for me to love her so much?"
"Also! Your wife is very cunning, when she gives birth, you should also take care of her!"
Yu Tingwan didn't know about the conversation between father and son.
She was leaning against the window to watch the show.
Wang picked up a cane and chased the Xu family boy around the yard.
"You walked into my room and turned left and right. You know how to be a thief at such a young age!"
"Is that something you can eat!"
The Xu family boy was pressed to the ground and beaten by her, with pastry crumbs still in his mouth. He grimaced in pain, but was extremely arrogant.
"I want to eat it, I want to eat it!"
"I see it and it's mine!"
The last time he stole rice from his neighbor, his parents and grandparents praised him for his ability.
Before Wang could lose her temper, Xu's wife rushed forward.
"Aunt, this child is ignorant and wasted the food because he was greedy, but he is still young. You can't argue with him."
Wang's face was dark: "If you don't know how to raise a child, don't give birth! You have
no right to speak here!" "This egg cake was brought back by Erlang from the town. I have been reluctant to eat it!"
"You stole it today. Will you steal money tomorrow?"
"How dare I let you live in my house?"
Xu's mother smiled awkwardly and stepped forward to protect her grandson: "Hey, he has already eaten it. You can't let him spit it out. Mother-in-law, calm down."
She took her grandson to apologize to Wang: "Tell me quickly, you will never dare to do it again!"
Yu Tingwan witnessed the Xu family kid rolling his eyes, but he didn't admit his fault at all.
She closed the window calmly and ignored the noise outside.
The Hu family is going to be lively.
-
At night.
The young wife Wu next door tossed and turned in the middle of the night and pushed the sleeping man beside her: "I feel uneasy."
Soon, whispers between the couple were heard in the house.
Young wife Wu said, "Before it got dark, there was a commotion next door. It was the boy from the Xu family who sneaked into Aunt Wang's room and ate the egg cake."
As she spoke, she swallowed her saliva.
How delicious it must have been.
"Such a big thing, but the boy from the Xu family didn't have the slightest remorse. He just ran outside to have fun."
"I think about what my stepmother said carefully, and I always find it strange."
"She said that the two families are close..."
Not long after, young wife Wu held a candle and knocked on Aunt Wu's door.
She was a little afraid of this mother-in-law: "Mom, can you take me back to my parents' home tomorrow?"
Do you want me to carry you on my back?
What daughter-in-law orders her mother-in-law around like you!
Aunt Wu's face was gloomy. Just as she was about to scold, she heard the voice of her son in the opposite room.
"Mom, it should be me who goes back with her, but now I can't get out of bed. It's snowing outside, and I'm really worried."
The night was dark.
At the Hu family next door, Yu Tingwan couldn't sleep, so she sat by the fire, poking it with a wooden stick from time to time.
Her eyebrows were dull and sad under the flickering firelight.
She didn't know if she had been caught by the servants of the Dong family in her previous life.
At this moment, there were rustling footsteps outside. Yu Tingwan was very alert and looked over suddenly.
Someone tiptoed towards her and finally stopped in front of his door.
It was Xu Fen. Xu
Fen was sneaking around under the moonlight, having long forgotten the warning from little Xu during the day.
Yu Tingwan was in the opposite room, how could he remain indifferent?
This was a good opportunity with the right time and place.
As long as he covered Yu Tingwan's mouth to prevent her from calling for help, he could still do whatever he wanted!
What if those girls who were taken advantage of by him hated him to the core? It was still for the sake of their reputation that they dared not reveal a single word to others.
The greed in Xu Fen's eyes was visible.
Thinking of Yu Tingwan's face, his whole body was hot.
With a click,
he pushed open the bolt on the door.
Xu Fen pushed the door open with a gleam in his eyes.
At this moment, the burning firewood in the house greeted his face directly.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it.
Sparks flew everywhere.
His hair and cotton clothes were ignited.
The burning sensation was piercing his heart, and his screams pierced the silent night.
