Chapter 213 Dalang, it’s time to take medicine (23)
Huo Shichu walked past the village with a basket of vegetables on her shoulder. A group of children followed her and chattered with her.
"Sister Huo, when are you going to go fishing again? You haven't fished for a long time..."
"Yeah, yeah, after such a long time there must be a lot of fish again. It would be a waste if we don't catch them now."
"Yeah, fish will run away when they grow up. Isn't that a pity?"
Several children were talking at once, trying to encourage Huo Shichu to go fishing.
Huo Shichu also saw through their purpose and said with a smile:
"Hey, you little brats, I think you are greedy for fish, right? Don't worry, the fish won't run away. I will take you to catch it when I am free."
She smiled with her eyebrows curved, took out a few juicy cucumbers from the basket, shared them with them, and said: "There is no fish today, but we have cucumbers, let's satisfy your cravings."
"Thank you, sister!"
A few children cheered, took the cucumbers and happily shared them.
Chu Ran was also walking to the village head with a cane, and saw Huo Shichu interacting with a group of children. It was obvious that these children liked her very much and loved to be around her, and she did not look mean, stingy, vain or greedy at all as the Wei family said.
Huo Shichu noticed his gaze, glanced at him and then stopped looking. This man looked smart, but the fact that he fell in love with Wei Erniang meant that he only had this good looks but no brains.
When Huo Shichu passed by him, she didn't look away, but Chu Ran didn't know what she was thinking, and called out to her: "Wait!"
Huo Shichu looked at him coldly: "What can I do for you?"
Her attitude was too cold, and she seemed to be very repulsive to him. Chu Ran realized this and felt a little uncomfortable. After he woke up, even though he didn't remember his identity, everyone from the Wei family to other people in the village treated him with cautious flattery or even fawning. However, the attitude of Wei Er Niang, the eldest sister-in-law, towards him was completely the opposite.
Chu Ran frowned and said, "I heard that you are Er Niang's sister-in-law?"
"Second mother? Which second mother? What are you trying to tell me?" Huo Shichu asked expressionlessly. Of course she knew which second mother it was, but she pretended not to know. What could Chu Ran do to her? Even if he was the male protagonist, he was just a dragon trapped in the shallows. He couldn't do anything to her, a local snake, so why should she be afraid of him?
"The Second Mother I'm talking about is Wei Second Mother, your husband's sister." Seeing her unhappy expression, Chu Ran was also very upset, but he wanted to seek justice for his savior, so he answered patiently.
"My husband doesn't have any younger sister. He was adopted out and his family died early. This has been proven by the village chief and clan elders. What kind of messy relatives do you want to send to Dalang now? Do you want to disgust us to death?" Huo Shichu snorted coldly. He hated these pretentious people the most. They obviously knew nothing, but they wanted to stand up for the weak just by listening to one-sided stories. They just thought they were the fairest and could enforce justice. It was really ridiculous.
Chu Ran's handsome face flushed red after hearing her words. He didn't expect Huo Shichu to be so disrespectful to him, so he also frowned and said, "No wonder he can do such an unfilial and unfraternal thing of enjoying himself while letting his parents and siblings suffer. Even his relatives and elders have turned against him. He is really ungrateful and ungrateful!"
"We are so heartless and ungrateful that we even abandoned our parents to enjoy our own happiness?" Huo Shichu was almost laughing. She asked, "Who said that about us? Was it the Wei family?"
Seeing that Chu Ran was still trying to argue, Huo Shichu waved his hand impatiently and said, "I think you should go ask other people in the village! Don't be so foolish as to think you have a comprehensive understanding of the matter just because you heard one side of the story. The grudge between Dalang and the Wei family is no secret. Everyone in the village knows about it. If you had asked one or two people who are not from the Wei family, you would have known why Dalang had a falling out with the Wei family, instead of shamelessly running up to me and accusing me now!
If you know the whole story, but still think that Dalang and I did something wrong, then I have nothing to say!"
Seeing her speak so confidently, Chu Ran immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. He asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is - you are an idiot!" Huo Shichu sneered.
"Brother Dashan! So you are here. I couldn't find you anywhere at home. I was scared to death..." Wei Er Niang's gentle and worried voice came from afar and soon she came in front of Chu Ran and held his arm.
"By the way, Brother Dashan, why did you come so far away? Your injuries are not fully healed yet." Wei Er Niang said repeatedly.
Because Chu Ran had lost his memory, Wei Er Niang gave him the name "Dashan" because he was found and rescued by Wei Er Niang in the mountains.
For some reason, Chu Ran did not object to this name which was full of rural flavor, so everyone called him Dashan.
"It's okay, it's almost healed now." Chu Ran comforted her.
"What's wrong with that? If you want to take a walk, you can call me. If you walk around alone, what if something dangerous happens..." As Wei Er Niang said this, she suddenly saw who was next to her. She immediately shut up in shock, her eyes filled with panic and guilt, and she used much more force to hold Chu Ran's arm, and Chu Ran felt the pain.
"What's wrong with you?" Chu Ran asked the abnormal Wei Er Niang.
Huo Shichu looked at Wei Erniang's guilty gaze and immediately realized who was confusing right and wrong in front of Chu Ran and slandering Wei Qi.
So she rolled her eyes, smiled, and said to Chu Ran: "My dear hero who loves to defend the weak, while you, Wei Erniang, are here, why don't I tell you about the feud between Da Lang and the Wei family?"
"No!" Wei Erniang blurted out. As soon as she said that, she knew it was going to be bad. Wasn't it obvious that she was guilty? She quickly added, "Hehe... What I mean is that Dashan has been out for a long time, and his body is not fully recovered yet. He should go back and rest early. Let's talk about it later."
Huo Shichu said meaningfully: "Don't call me sister-in-law, I can't bear it. Brother Dashan will surely not be stingy with a little time to listen to a few words from me, right?" At the end, she looked at Chu Ran.
Chu Ran nodded. His curiosity had been aroused by Huo Shichu, so he ignored Wei Erniang's ugly expression and said, "I'm all ears."
With such cooperation, Huo Shichu certainly wouldn't keep anyone in suspense, so he said with a smile:
"The grudge between Dalang and the Wei family is very simple. A few months ago, Dalang came back from the battlefield with serious injuries. His legs were almost useless and he couldn't move. He needed his family to take care of him, but the Wei family thought he was useless after being disabled and didn't want this burden. So on the first day Dalang came back, they wanted to separate from him. In fact, they kicked him out of the house and drove him, who had serious legs injuries and couldn't take care of himself, to an abandoned house - by the way, an abandoned house is a dilapidated house in the village that has not been lived in for a long time, which is similar to the one the Wei family lives in now."
Huo Shichu even specifically explained to him the meaning of the deserted house.
