Chapter 258 Your mother loves you so much!

After going through this incident, Huai'er, who was originally quite lively, became much more stable.

Li Chunhua brought Shuangyue, a maid from the first room, and each of them carried a four-layer food box. They huffed and puffed as they delivered a table of homemade delicacies to the old Taoist priest in the nameless Taoist temple to express their gratitude.

The old Taoist priest discussed with Li Chunhua that with Huai'er's talent, he would definitely pursue martial arts in the future. Instead of going to a private school, it would be better to let Huai'er live with him in the mountains and learn some military tactics from him, so as to avoid being fooled by such a simple trap in the future.

Li Chunhua had seen the old Taoist's abilities, so naturally she was willing to do it a hundred times or a thousand times.

But she knew that Huai'er was not only her son, but also the eldest grandson of the Yu family. Although Li Chunhua was extremely excited, she still agreed without thinking.

"Master, I'm naturally willing to accept such a great thing, but I have to go back and tell my parents." Li Chunhua's voice was trembling with excitement.

The old Taoist nodded casually.

Li Chunhua almost ran all the way home and quickly told Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu the news.

Mrs. Wei immediately made the decision: "Master, please don't mind that Brother Huai is causing trouble. We are extremely grateful!"

That's how it's settled.

That night, Huai Ge'er packed up his belongings and went up the mountain. He chose a house that was farthest away from Wei Shiyan and lived there.

From then on, Huai Ge'er started to practice martial arts with the old Taoist priest in the morning and study cultural classes in the afternoon.

As for the case of Meng Yunchang plotting to murder Huai Ge'er, Meng Yunchang was the county magistrate's brother-in-law. Although the county magistrate convicted Meng Yunchang for the sake of face, he made Meng Yunchang pay 20 taels of silver as a ransom on the grounds that "the crime was relatively minor and there was no actual harm." Yiwen, who was involved in the fraud, was beaten with 20 sticks.

Although Yiwen was born into a prostitute family, she was also delicate and tender. Those twenty strokes of the board almost took her life.

The county magistrate privately met with the Yu family and told them that Meng Yunchang would be restrained in the future and would not be allowed to cause trouble to the Yu family again, otherwise he would not be shown mercy.

What he meant was that he should ask the Yu family to give him some face and let the matter end here and not pursue it further.

The Yu family also knew that although this matter was disgusting, in reality the evil plot of Meng Yunchang and Yiwen did not cause any great harm, and the man surnamed Meng was the brother-in-law of the county magistrate, so it was estimated that he would not receive any great lesson.

Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu both knew that the people should not fight against the officials, so it was great that Huai'er could be cleared of all charges in this matter.

This matter is over.

However, a few days later, a small sedan chair carried Li Xuefeng, who was covered with wounds, back to the Li family. The servant who was responsible for sending Li Xuefeng back said that Li Xuefeng was not a faithful wife and that the master did not sell her out of kindness.

The Li family naturally refused to do anything. They made a scene but ended up with nothing good in return, so they had to give up in disgrace.

Zhang never felt comfortable bragging in the village again about her niece marrying the county magistrate's brother-in-law.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the golden late autumn slowly turned into a snowy winter.

Xingxing was wearing an ear-protecting hat made of rabbit fur. The brim of the hat was wrapped with tufts of fur, which made her fair, tender and rosy little face look even more delicate.

She held the hand warmer given to her by Wei Shiyan in one hand and a cloth bag filled with a few red wild persimmons in the other, and ran to Yamei'er's house excitedly.

Ya Mei'er's new stepmother moved into Ya Mei'er's house a few days ago.

Ya Mei'er's father originally wanted to hold a ceremony, but Ya Mei'er's new stepmother said that Ya Mei'er's father had already married two wives, and she was the third one. If he held a ceremony, people would gossip about him. Besides, she didn't ask for anything else, just that the three of them could live a good life.

These words made Ya Mei'er's father burst into tears, and he felt that he had found a good mother for Ya Mei'er this time.

Therefore, Ya Mei'er's new stepmother just carried her luggage and moved into Ya Mei'er's house on an ordinary day.

Because there was a happy event in Yamei's family, Xingxing didn't come to visit Yamei for the past few days.

Yesterday, Huai Ge'er came back from the mountain and brought back a big bag of wild persimmons. He said that he and his junior brother Shi went to the trees specifically to pick them.

The wild persimmons were frosted and very sweet. Xingxing couldn't help herself, so she picked a few, put them in her small cloth bag, and ran to Yamei'er's house.

However, Yamei’s door was closed.

The door was unlocked, which meant someone was home.

Xing Xing hesitated for a moment, then stretched out a hand and knocked on the door.

Soon, Ya Mei'er's voice came from the door: "Who?"

Xing Xing was stunned.

I haven't seen Ya Meir for a few days. Why does her voice sound different from before?

"It's me, Xingxing! ... Yaya, I'm here to bring you some persimmons! My big brother brought them back yesterday, they're so sweet!"

"Xing Xing!" There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind the door. It was obviously Yamei running towards the door.

However, Yamei stopped behind the door, as if she remembered something, and said softly, "Ah, no, Xingxing. My mother said that there was a kid in their village who ran around when it snowed and broke his leg, so she won't let me go out."

Yamei'er spoke for a long time in one breath. Xingxing was now certain that Yamei'er's voice was somewhat different from before.

However, from the tone of voice, Xingxing could tell that it was indeed Yamei'er.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't come out. Just open the door and I'll give you the persimmons." Xingxing said to Yamei'er through the door.

Yamei thought that what Xingxing said made sense, and she opened the door happily.

When the door was opened, Xingxing exclaimed "Ah".

I haven't seen Yamei'er for a few days. She was wearing a bright red top with magpie patterns, which made her little face look rosy and festive.

"It's so beautiful!" Xingxing praised.

Ya Mei'er was quite happy: "My mother gave it to me! But I can't go out these two days, so I can't show it to you. It looks good, doesn't it?"

"Looks good!" Xingxing nodded her head and stuffed the small cloth bag into Yamei'er's hand. "There are persimmons in it. They are really sweet! You must taste them later."

Yamei nodded like crazy.

Xing Xing asked with some concern: "Yaya, I heard that your voice seems to be wrong, what's wrong with you?"

Yamei rubbed her nose and thought for a moment: "Maybe I caught a cold, it's okay!"

She stuck out her tongue. "I can't let my mother know! She always gets nervous when I don't wear enough clothes. She always gets up in the middle of the night to check if I have covered myself with the quilt. Every day when I don't eat enough, my mother gets unhappy and says that I need to eat more to grow taller!"

Xing Xing was very happy for Ya Mei'er: "Your mother loves you so much!"

Yamei'er looked as if she was immersed in happiness and chuckled twice: "Yes. Xingxing, I finally have a mother!"
