Tie Kui Extra Story (54)

The patriarch couldn't understand the Niu family, so he could only persuade Shao Chengwen. After all, Shao Lili is his real father. It would be unfilial to reject them.

It's a pity that Shao Chengwen lowered his head and kept silent.

He also knew that Shao Chengwen was in charge of this family's affairs, otherwise the patriarch would have suspected that Niu was the head of the family.

Seeing her husband's painful expression, Niu gritted his teeth and said, "Patriarch, don't make things difficult for us. My head swears in front of my mother-in-law that I will never recognize that person in my life." That person naturally refers to Shao Lili.

A bad premonition emerged in the patriarch's heart: "Didn't your mother-in-law commit suicide?" If she committed suicide, Shao Chengwen would not be able to abide by such an oath.

Niu sneered and said, "What suicide? My mother-in-law was forced to death by that man and Mrs. Shao." Her mother-in-law was such a good person, but she met such a wolf-hearted mother and son like Shao's mother and Shao Lili.

Living with such a person under the same roof, Niu was terrified. So Shao Chengwen turned against Shao Lili and went back to the countryside, and Niu followed him back without saying a word. Although it is hard to go back to my hometown, I feel at ease.

The face of the patriarch changed immediately: "What did you say? Your mother didn't commit suicide, but was forced to death by your mother-in-law and father-in-law?"

Niu felt that the patriarch's attitude was a bit strange, but he nodded and said, "Yes. My mother-in-law passed away, and my husband turned against them, and then moved back to the village."

The patriarch slapped the table and said angrily, "I wonder why they would go back to the village in such a poor state, that's why."

When Shao Chengwen heard this, he looked up at the patriarch and asked, "Patriarch, is my uncle back?"

The patriarch took a look at Shao Chengwen and said, "Your uncle didn't come back, but I heard that he became a high official in the new dynasty." The truth about suicide. Otherwise, Shao Lili would not return to his hometown in poverty.

After knowing the truth, the patriarch let go of the matter.

Shao Chengwen said to Niu: "Ah Fen, go and find out if your grandfather and aunt have gone down the mountain?" If he knew his mother would go to a dead end, he would definitely take his mother to the mountain to find his grandfather and aunt.

A few days ago, Niu fell ill and recuperated at home, while Shao Chengwen kept his head in his work and didn't pay attention to outside affairs. Therefore, their family did not know that Tiehu had gone down the mountain a few days ago.

Hearing that Tiehu and Chunni had gone down the mountain, Shao Chengwen said, "Ah Fen, prepare paper money for joss sticks for me.

I'm going to see my mother. "Chunxiang hanged himself to death. Shao Chengwen was the first to discover it, and he was the one who carried Chunxiang down. Every time he thought of Chunxiang's appearance when he died, Shao Chengwen was full of hatred for Shao Lili. Whenever Shao Lili cared about the relationship between husband and wife, she Mother will not do stupid things in despair.

Niu looked at her increasingly thinner husband, wiped away tears and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

When the couple arrived in front of Chunxiang's tomb, Shao Chengwen knelt on the ground and burned paper while crying and said, "Mother, I know that you have been thinking about your uncle, grandfather and aunt. Mother, don't worry, your uncle is not only safe and sound, but also became a high-ranking official. Aunt and the others are fine too."

Niu also shed tears. After she came in, Chunxiang loved her like his own daughter. She also said that she was lucky to meet such a good mother-in-law. But I didn't expect that my mother-in-law left at a young age, still in such a decisive way.

When Chunni and Hongbo went to Chunxiang's grave, they saw Shao Chengwen holding Chunxiang's tomb and crying heartbroken.

If it was Shao Chenghong, Chunni might think it was a show for her. But Cheng Wen has always been very filial, and Chun Ni naturally does not doubt him. Of course, even if it is a play, it is impossible to be so realistic.

Seeing Chunni, Shao Chengwen got up and wiped away his tears: "Auntie, mother will be very happy to know that you came to see her."

Chunni nodded, then squatted down and placed the things she brought in front of the tomb.

While kneeling in front of the tomb and burning paper, Chun Ni said: "Sister, Father asked me to tell you that he failed to find you a reliable husband and protect you. He is sorry for you." Ni's tears also fell down.

After crying for a long time, Chunni stopped her tears under the comfort of Hongbo and Fu. Seeing that it was getting late, Chunni said, "Sister, I will come to see you again in a few days."

When going down the mountain, Chunni looked at Shao Chengwen, who was skinny and out of shape, and said, "Awen, we are all very sad that your mother is gone, but you still have a wife and children to support. For them, you should also take care of your health "The elder sister is gone, they are certainly sad, but life has to go on.

Hearing the words of concern, Shao Chengwen burst into tears: "Auntie, I am useless, I failed to protect my mother."

When Chunni saw Shao Chengwen, who was blaming herself, what Peng Shu said could not help but come to mind. What Peng Shu said was right, her elder sister committed suicide because she was irresponsible to her parents and children.

Although Chunni hated Shao Lili to death, she still said, "No matter what happens, you can't be blamed for this."

Shao Chengwen shook his head and said, "No, if I could bring my mother back to the countryside earlier, she wouldn't have come to a dead end."

Chun Ni smiled bitterly and said: "Silly boy, your mother can't think about it, even if you take her to the countryside, you will still go this way. You can't just follow her all day long without doing anything?" Her eldest sister is With that kind of temperament, it is difficult to get out once you get into the horns. When she divorced Shao Lili back then, it was not because someone with good conditions came to propose marriage, but she said that she didn't want to marry. It's not that she doesn't want to get married, it's just that she can't let go of Shao Lili.

Shao Chengwen bowed his head and said nothing.

Grabbing Shao Chengwen's hand and clapping it, Chun Ni said: "Your mother loves you so much, you have to take care of yourself. If your mother sees you like this, you will not be able to rest in peace."

Shao Chengwen wiped away his tears and said, "Okay."

At the foot of the mountain, when we parted, Niu said: "Auntie, tomorrow I will take the children to visit my grandfather."

Chun Ni shook her head and said, "Your grandfather doesn't want to see anyone in the Shao family because of your mother's affairs. You don't want to come to the door in the future, otherwise he will beat you all out."

Thinking of the wounds on the faces of Shao Chenghong and others, Niu's heart skipped a beat. It seems that the injuries on his father-in-law were also beaten by his grandfather.

Shao Chengwen lowered his head and said, "Our Shao family is sorry for our grandfather." There is nothing more sad than a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

Chunni didn't answer this question, but said: "Live a good life in the future, and your mother will be happy when she is alive."

When the mother and son returned home, they saw a long-lost smile on Tiehu's face. As soon as Chunni saw it, she asked, "Father, did Kuizi send you a letter?" Apart from this, there was nothing else that could make his father happy.

"Well, there's a letter from Kuizi." After finishing speaking, Tiehu looked at Hongbo and asked, "You wrote to your uncle, saying that you want to find a job in the Yamen?"

Hong Bo nodded and said: "Grandfather, if I can find a job in the yamen, it will be easy for Dabao and the others to talk about their marriage in the future."

Chun Ni scolded: "You bastard, your wings are so stiff, you don't want to discuss such a big matter with us." But she was still very happy when her son knew that he was planning for himself and the child.

Hong Bo scratched his head and smiled: "I'm afraid that you will come forward and tell uncle if you find out, and if this matter is difficult to handle, uncle will not refuse." For his own affairs, it is better to come forward and ask for it.

Tie Hu smiled and said: "What are you scolding Hongbo for? The child knows how to make progress, you parents should be happy."

Chunni was a little surprised when she heard this and said: "Father, you don't object? If Hongbo gets a job, he and his daughter-in-law will live in the county in the future. You may not see him twice in a month." Hong Bo and Dabao are his father's lifeblood, let alone a month, if they don't see each other for a day, they can't do it.

"What are you talking about? Can I still delay the children's future?" It is a matter of honor for the children to eat public meals.

Hong Bo hurriedly said: "Mother, you will go live with me in the county town when the time comes."

Chunni couldn't bear to leave her family's field behind and ran to live with Hongbo in the county town!

But Tie Hu said: "Your mother won't go, I will go." Although living in the county may not be used to it, but being able to see the grandson and great-grandson every day, this difficulty can be overcome.

"Father, what should I do if you go to the county seat?" Although Chunni is the head of the family on the surface, Tie Hu is actually the backbone of the family. Chunni is not at ease when Tiehu is not there.

Tie Hu stared and said: "What should I do? Either follow me to the county town with Hongbo, or stay in Tiejia Village." At such an advanced age, he still can't stand alone, and it would be embarrassing to speak out. Fortunately, he is in good health and can live for a few more years. Otherwise, don't worry about this big family.

Hongbo said with a smile, "Grandfather, mother, the horoscope has not been written yet! Maybe uncle can't meddle in local affairs, because he has no power to do so!"

Tiehu handed a name card to Hongbo, and said, "Your uncle said, let you take this name card and go to the county town to find a hundred household named Wei Jinbao." With Tie Kui's words, it means that the matter has been completed Most of it.

Hongbo was very pleasantly surprised: "What kind of job did uncle find me?"

Iron Tiger shook his head.

It is the dream of ordinary people to be able to eat public meals. Hongbo is going to work in the Yamen, so he already has a face when he talks about it. Chun Ni hurriedly urged: "Go to the county seat tomorrow to find this Wei Baihu, and get the errands done as soon as possible." If you go late, maybe all the good errands will be picked up.

No one expected that it would suddenly turn cold that night. After Chunni woke up from the cold, she hurriedly changed Tiehu's thick quilt first. The rest of the family also covered themselves with quilts and thick clothes.

By the second day, everyone in the family had added clothes. Chun Ni said: "Father, it's a sudden cold day, it's not a good omen!"

Tiehu said: "Hongbo took Datou to the county town, Chunni, you and Dongzi went to the county town to buy grain." Their family bought grain for more than a month. The weather this year is too abnormal, so it is better to save more food and rest assured.

Ah Shao called another guard to follow Hongbo to the county seat, and assigned the other two to follow Chunni to the town.

Looking up at the gray sky, Tie Hu said to Shao worriedly: "The last time I encountered such abnormal weather was forty years ago. I don't know how many people died of freezing that year." Fortunately, he followed his adoptive father at that time and did not freeze. But in Tiejia Village, dozens of people died that year. Most of the dead were old people and children, and some frail young people.

Ashao asked: "Besides this, are there any other troubles? Such as crop failure?"

Tie Hu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this. I didn't farm at that time. But the prey in the second year was much less than the previous year." The wild animals probably couldn't stand the severe cold weather. Frozen to death.

Ah Shao thought about it, and decided to ask the elderly people in the village. After understanding clearly, write to uncle.
