The husband's son-in-law

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Gu Zhao went to school with his hand stove and schoolbag on his back. After walking for 10 minutes, he saw Zheng Hui waiting for him at the entrance of the alley. The two met and said hello.

"Has the anger dissipated from what happened yesterday?"

Zheng Hui said: "Manly man, I don't care about women and children."

This is still with gas.Gu Zhao expressed his understanding that etiquette is still very important for scholars nowadays, and being torn out by a woman in the street will make everyone lose face and feel angry.

"That's why I'm still angry. It's not that I'm talking right and wrong. Let me explain to you that Mrs. Ma and her man can't have children. I guess something unpleasant happened when I went back to my hometown for the New Year. Seeing what you said wrong, Mrs. Ma might think wrong I just bumped into you, it wasn't intentional."

When Zheng Hui heard it, it turned out that the inside story was like this, "The couple should be in their thirties, right? They can't have children, and the elders must have complained about it when they went back for the New Year."

He is in good health, and when he returns this year, his father will make tonic for his pulse.Thinking about it this way, Zheng Hui felt a little sympathetic towards Mrs. Ma and his wife, and the anger in his heart dissipated.

"It's not that big, about 25." Gu Zhao heard his wife mention it.

The Ma family couple worked hard, ate and dressed very sparingly, and looked a few years older.

After the two of them said this, they didn't talk much. After all, it was someone else's private matter. Instead, they talked about learning. They chatted all the way to the school. The master checked the school badge and grooming, let them in, and started a day of study life.

Pomegranate Alley.

Yesterday, the whole alley of Mrs. Ma tore Zheng Xiucai's hair in the street knew about it. Early in the morning, those who bought steamed stuffed buns chatted with each other early, saying: "I don't know what kind of hysteria happened, but the good ones are so easy to tear, luckily Zheng Xiucai didn't get angry when he saw Gu Xiucai's affection."

"Isn't that right? A scholar doesn't have to kneel when he meets an official. Sister-in-law Ma is good. She's the first to do it."

"Hush, keep your voice down, Mrs. Ma is also very pitiful."

"What aspect are you talking about?" Apparently everyone in the alley knew what Sister-in-law Ma couldn't do, so they lowered their voices. Some things about her uncle, one year older, taller, and good grades in school..."

"Why didn't you say you came back this year? It's still so late."

"No, it's strange. Usually the noodle shop is open now, why isn't this one open?"

"I just came back yesterday, so I can't take a breather."

But while we were chatting, someone came in to buy steamed stuffed buns and heard this, and said, "It's open, I just saw Ma's sister-in-law and a man opened a shop, and the husband and wife are probably doing well."

"I don't think it's all right. You didn't pay attention yesterday. I saw Mrs. Ma's face was covered with slap prints. One side of her face is swollen. Who do you think hit her?"

Who can be, either his own man or mother-in-law and father-in-law, it is impossible for Mrs. Ma to beat herself.

The big guys sighed for a while, some knew the inside story, some knew little, and those who knew little thought that Mrs. Ma couldn't conceive or have children, and said: "Sister-in-law Ma is also a good man, Mrs. Ma can't have children, and she hasn't given up yet. Even if you start to fight, you can only endure it, otherwise what else can you do."

"It's not Mrs. Ma's problem." Someone said something, but felt that he couldn't explain it, so he sighed and said, "But following Mrs. Ma's problem is also related. If it wasn't for her man, he wouldn't be hurt because of her..."

This will understand, and those who know a little will say: "It's all like this, then what the Ma family does is really nothing to say, which mother-in-law doesn't care about her daughter-in-law, just make it through, Sister-in-law Ma just bear with it."

Daughters-in-law of other people's families still have hope, and they say that daughter-in-law will become mother-in-law, but Mrs. Ma is only old and unable to have children, so of course she will not be able to become mother-in-law, and there is no hope for her in the future.

"I heard from her before that the uncle in the family gave birth to a baby and gave it to her. Otherwise, why did the couple try their best to serve the uncle as a cow and a horse to earn the family property?"

At this point, Mrs. Zhou couldn't listen anymore, and said: "Who knows if I will give it in the future? The uncle of the Ma family is only nine years old, and things will be long in the future. Her mother-in-law sees that there is no hope for Guiniang's room, so it doesn't matter." Don’t worry about the youngest son, don’t let all the money go to the youngest son, and nothing will be left behind by Guiniang and her man.”

Gui Niang is Ma's wife's boudoir name, and the Zhou family is older than Gui Niang.

"That shouldn't be it." Aunt Xu braided.

Before it was Mrs. Zhou's turn to speak, the others said, "I'm sure I didn't think about it before, but don't forget that the yamen lawsuit a few years ago was about the Li family's shop. The old lady loves her little son. Yep, it’s also Dafang’s family who worked as hard as a cow to plan food for Yao’er to study, and the result? Dafang’s daughter-in-law’s life was taken in, and the family was separated, and the barren base of one hundred yuan, you talk about it..."

When this was mentioned, everyone was so impressed that they all remembered it.

That's right, the current situation of the Ma family is exactly the same as the situation of Li Da, Li Ji's shop, but what happened to Li Da has already happened, and what happened to the Ma family has not yet happened.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be partial like this. Parents who are not so cruel, the man from the Ma family broke his body to save her, and her mother-in-law is angry, so it's okay to do something, and it's not mean. There is no need to talk to Li Besides, as a daughter-in-law, she will not be able to have a baby, and the Ma family is already generous if they want her, otherwise they will be released to other families and designated to be kicked out." Aunt Xu is old, so she is naturally on the side of her mother angle.

Mrs. Zhou said: "You only have one son and one grandson. Of course you say this. If your Xiaowen can't have children in the future, you will have a little grandson. You have to spoil the little grandson and love him." Be patient and generous, bah!

"..." Aunt Xu's expression was not good when she was squeezed out, "What are you talking about, my Xiaowen provoked you, why don't you talk about your fourth mother."

Mrs. Zhou: "My fourth wife can't bear children. There are three other girls in front of me, and I can also recruit a husband. I have so many children in my family. What should I be afraid of? It's not like your family is just a little Wen."

In the end, seeing that the smell of gunpowder was blowing away, the others quickly pulled away.

"Why, you still want to fight with me." Mrs. Zhou had put up with Aunt Xu for a long time, new and old grievances were brought up by the topic, and she couldn't help cursing with her hips on her hips.

This time it was Zhou who was unreasonable and a little bit wrong. The adults chewed their tongues and didn't say that they would take out the little doll to talk about it.Aunt Xu was so angry that her face turned blue, and she loudly asked the big guys to take a look and testify to her that it was Mrs. Zhou who cursed her Xiaowen, did anyone say something like that?

Others persuaded, pull what should be done, don't really start fighting, and just heard a cry: "It's okay, it's okay, Ma's sister-in-law has hanged herself."

The bun shop was full of noisy people just now, but now they all stopped.

What? !

Ma's sister-in-law hanged herself? !

Guys, go out and have a look.Baozi shop and Ma's shop are separated by Li's house, and now a group of people gathered in front of the noodle shop, and the vegetable sellers, stall operators, porters and hawkers on the opposite side came to watch the fun.

The shop was empty, the stove was boiling with water, and there was no one there, only the man from the Ma family was crying: "Why did you hang yourself, why can't you think about it."

Mrs. Zhou squeezed into the crowd and went into the house from the shop.When she gave birth to her second mother, Gui Niang and her husband would push a wooden cart to the alley to do business, and it took almost five or six years.

In the past, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Gui didn't move around very often, because at the beginning, whenever she mentioned something, Mrs. Gui always sighed and looked sad. When talking about the children, Mrs. Zhou got three girls, and she was also upset at that time. One can't give birth to a girl, and the two of them are full of worries when they talk and chat together.

This self-complaint has been going on for a long time, and the chest must be oppressed and uncomfortable. Later, Mrs. Zhou stopped talking to Gui Niang, it was too bitter, even worse than her.But it's still an alley, and I once had a close relationship with each other.

Gui Niang hanged herself, Zhou family was naturally worried, rushed in to see, the Ma family man hugged him and wailed loudly, and Li Zhouzhou was also there, so he would say: "Brother Ma, sister-in-law is still angry, I will call my father a trick!" Mule cart, hurry to the clinic, don't delay."

"Sister-in-law Zhang, please help me. I'll go outside to set up the car." Seeing that Big Brother Ma was still hugging someone and crying non-stop, Li Zhouzhou didn't move a bit, so he arranged for Mrs. Zhang.

After listening to the arrangement, Mrs. Zhou pushed the man who only knew how to cry, helped Guiniang to get up, followed by Aunt Xu who came to help, and several sister-in-laws helped, and carried the man away.Li Zhouzhou had already returned to the yard, and while talking to his father, he hitched a mule cart, and several members of the Zhou family supported Mrs. Ma to sit on the cart.

"Father, I'll do it." Li Zhouzhou said.

Li Da was worried, Zhou Zhou of his family went to the yard of Ma's house, this man hanged himself, don't die at that time, the man next door hurriedly took Zhou Zhou of his family to vent his anger.

So they locked the courtyard door and followed them together.

Neighbors and neighbors helped to follow. Fortunately, the medical center was not far away, and it took a while to drive there.Afterwards, there was a mess, the man from Ma's family didn't even bring any money, it was paid by Li Zhouzhou, but the money was not his, but Ma's sister-in-law gave him.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the person's life was saved, but Mrs. Ma's neck was severely strangled, with a red and swollen line. The doctor said that she should not speak if she hurt her throat. Mrs. Ma sat there with a dead face, deadpan, motionless , without even moving the eyeballs, it's like not listening.

The man from the Ma family cried in his arms, repeating the same two sentences over and over again, I'm sorry for you because I can't think about it and I'm going to hang myself.

Li Da knew that he was fine and already drove back, and there was still a lot of work in the yard.Li Zhouzhou wanted to make his words clear, otherwise it would not be good to spread the word, so he said: "I was busy in the yard this morning, and Madam Ma came to my house to take half a tael of silver, which is the money for the medicine I just gave. The one who tore Zheng Xiucai's clothes yesterday troubled my husband and gave Zheng Xiucai the half taels of silver."

It turned out that this was the case, and it was said that Li Zhouzhou entered the yard of Ma's house early in the morning.

"Sister-in-law Ma's expression was not right when she spoke, and she put away the silver and went back. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was not good to hold half a tael of silver. Whether to buy new clothes or mend them is what Brother Zheng and sister-in-law Ma should say. , I took the silver and wanted to return it.”

Mrs. Ma returned home with a dazed expression, forgetting to fasten the courtyard gate.

Li Zhouzhou went in and called Sister Ma in the yard, but it was not good to go in directly, "I just heard a bang, and Sister Ma's figure was seen through the window paper, so I rushed in."

It's as simple as that, I saw Mrs. Ma and Zheng Xiucai tearing up everyone in the alley yesterday. Zheng Xiucai's hat was torn off, and his clothes seemed to be torn.Sister-in-law Ma spends a lot of money on weekdays, wishing to spend half of a penny, but she never expected to be so generous in the morning that she gave half a tael of silver.

"...What's the matter, she wants to die, she doesn't want to owe anyone." Zhou said.

Speaking of the word owed, the Ma family man stopped crying for a while, and then cried louder while holding his wife: "I am sorry for you, I am in debt to you, and I have always let you bear a bad reputation."

"That time when I came back from your mother's house, I met a villain. I was reluctant to give him money, so I made him close and wrestled. If you hadn't kept shouting and calling someone, he would have run away in fright... ..." the man from the Ma family began to cry.

The big guys knew what they were talking about as soon as they heard it. Sister-in-law Ma always said that it was the man who broke down and couldn’t give birth to save her. Now, after hearing it, the gangster only wanted money back then, and Sister-in-law Ma said it, but the man refused to listen and was reluctant to give birth. A fight broke out.

But a man wants to save face, if he can't give birth, he will hurt his roots, so he can't cover it with a banner-it was broken to save his wife, it sounds like a man.Sister-in-law Ma also blamed herself for going to her natal home, because it was only the first year of marriage, and she was reluctant to go back early, thinking that the road was not far away, so she delayed until dark.

As a result, unexpectedly, I met a villain.

For this incident, the Ma family first blamed the villain and hated the villain, but as time went by, the eldest son was sick and unable to give birth to children, and could not carry on the family line. This was ridiculed in the village. Became a strange daughter-in-law.

If it weren't for the delay in the daughter-in-law's return, there would be no villains on the road.

If it weren't for the son to protect his daughter-in-law, it is impossible to hurt the root.

If you don't find an excuse to blame, where will the suffocating anger in your heart go?

But it was his own son who broke the roots. Even if he divorced the eldest daughter-in-law and married another one, he would still have no children.In the midst of this conflict, the Ma family confessed with a pinch of their noses. Ma's sister-in-law and mother-in-law were not happy.

Sister-in-law Ma blamed herself for swallowing all the bitter fruit. Fortunately, the man knew the real situation, so he protected his wife and said that the two of them went to prefectures and counties to do business and earn a living. After returning with the money, the Ma family parents were happy again. Later, it was negotiated to provide for the eldest son, and later took the child of the old and small family to the eldest son.

Originally, they lived in peace, and the couple had worked diligently to save money for the past few years, but they didn't expect everyone from Li to sue the government a few years ago. They didn't think much of it before, but now they see outsiders and hear that Mrs. Li is partial to her youngest son. How about it, Mrs. Ma jumped out to take a look, and the more she looked, the more she matched her family, feeling uneasy, fearing that in the future, she would end up with no money, no children, no children, and a job for her uncle.

Not to mention Mrs. Ma's uneasiness, even her husband noticed it, so the couple discussed that if we take the money back this year, we can get half of it first, and let's save the other half.

Who knew that when they returned home during the Chinese New Year, the mother-in-law would warmly greet the eldest son and daughter-in-law to sit and eat, whether they were cold or tired after hard work, but when it came time to ask for money, when they heard that the couple would keep half of it, their expressions suddenly changed...

The entire Chinese New Year was not a happy one. Ma’s sister-in-law and her mother-in-law kept changing their ways, asking for money with soft words and hard words. They felt that the eldest daughter-in-law was over-hearted and said something ugly, "You can’t lay eggs, and keep so much money. What are you doing, if my son hadn't broken his body to save you, I would have embraced my grandson by now, and now you are still showing off with me, hiding your selfish intentions."

After all, it is to ask for the remaining half of the silver, and not to let the silver go.

Sister-in-law Ma's heart was actually half cold, not because of the money, but because of the meanness of her mother-in-law, that was when she hadn't gone to the prefecture to do business, everything was blamed on her.Mrs. Ma naturally retorted and made a distinction, meaning that she asked the man to hand over the money...

Then she was pulled and slapped by her mother-in-law.

The man just watched and didn't pull.

Because Mrs. Ma said that sentence: I said that it will be fine if I give the money out.

What does this mean, it means blaming him, he deserves to be unable to have a child and his body is broken.

Anyway, the love and harmony between the Ma family and his wife in normal times, there are still gaps hidden underneath, and now they are all pulled out and spread out on the surface, the mother-in-law, father-in-law complain and blame, and the man does not understand her if he does not help her, just because her words are now all over the place. If you blame her, she will pay with her life.

Sister-in-law Ma really felt that her life was hopeless. What is the difference between the mother-in-law's attitude and the old lady Li's natural demand for Li Dayin to pay for her youngest son in the court?Could it be that she waited for more than ten years, confessed to the white-eyed wolf, and then died?

It would be better to die now, to die once and for all, and to pay off all debts.

Li's shop opened for a while tonight, and the people who lined up for a long time inevitably complained, but later I heard that the noodle shop next door almost died, and the proprietress hanged herself. Life……

The big guy said straight away that the impatient diners who had been waiting had no grievances at this meeting. Human lives matter. Boss Li has done a good thing, so what if they waited.

"It's just that I don't know how hard it has been, and I can't think about it."

"I see that the business next door is doing well. Why would you want to commit suicide? It's too wrong. Parents who suffer from body, hair and skin should think about their own parents even if they want to die."

"Maybe it's not money suffering, maybe there are other difficulties."

Let's talk about it, and the shop will open soon.Li Zhouzhou didn't say anything to the diners about inquiring about Mrs. Ma, but only said that she was alive and well, and then asked how many braised pork ribs, big and small, she wanted.

When the shop was closed, Li Da started to wash his hands, but he understood the pony's daughter-in-law's suicide attempt. When Zhou Zhou's father went, he hated and regretted it. Xiao Su never had a good day with him. Enjoyed the blessings, but there was Zhou Zhou at that time, and Zhou Zhou was still young.

If a person has no hope and wants to die, then it doesn't matter whether his parents should die or not.

There is nothing wrong with it.

This pony daughter-in-law has come to a dead end.

In the afternoon, the man from the Ma family came back with Mrs. Ma on his back, but Mrs. Ma still didn't speak, her face was haggard and her eyes were blank. The neighbors all around came to talk to Mrs. Ma, but it was of no use.

Ma's noodle shop is closed, and now they can't do business.

"Oh, I don't care about people. I didn't even move my eyes when I went." Mrs. Zhou went to Li's house to talk, feeling very sad. She didn't expect Gui Niang to hang herself. I still can't think about it, it can't be guarded all the time."

After Zhou finished speaking, she spat again, "Her man looks regretful now. He waited before and after, crying and regretting, and talking nonsense, but when his mother beat his wife, why didn't she come out and stop her?" .”

"It's you, don't say a few words." Someone said to Zhou: "It's not like you haven't seen it in the alley for so many years. On weekdays, Guiniang's man still loves her, but it's just that he just bumped into her by chance. Heart disease, alas, how can outsiders talk about other people's family affairs."

"If you want me to say, just let that little brother-in-law pay for it, maybe in the future, her mother-in-law will really keep her word and send the child to Miss Gui..."

"The more you say it, the more you don't believe it. How can you let Guiniang believe it? This is not a lice on the monk's head, it is obviously impossible."

The two talked for a while, Li Zhouzhou just sighed and didn't intervene, the two felt bored, and said back, let's obey fate, whoever made Guiniang's life miserable, left.

After seeing off the guests, Li Zhouzhou stood in the yard and looked towards the direction of the next yard for a while.

He didn't know what to say, but he still felt that there was hope for a person alive.

But Mrs. Ma doesn't think so, Mrs. Ma has no hope.

Li Zhouzhou couldn't even get excited about the day's business, so he packed it up when it was sold out...

Gu Zhao came home from school in the afternoon, and as soon as he opened the door, he said, "I noticed something was wrong the moment I entered the alley, what happened? Everyone gathered at the door to chat."

Now that the spring is cold, and it is time to eat and cook, everyone goes back to their homes on weekdays.Even for chatting and gossiping, they would drop by in twos, threes, and threes, but I have never seen seven or eight chatting around today.

Zhou Zhou took the Xianggong's schoolbag.Gu Zhao saw that his wife's expression was not right, she was gloomy and her brows were sad, her heart sank, and the relief on her face disappeared, and she held his wife's hand with one hand, "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

"It's not our family." Li Da said, "The daughter-in-law of Xiao Ma next door hanged herself this morning."

Gu Zhao: "Is the person safe and rescued?"

"It's okay." Li Zhouzhou replied.

Li Da saw that his son was unhappy all day and was still focused on doing business. He was clumsy and tongue-tied and didn't know what to say, so he wanted Zhao'er to coax Zhou Zhou and said in detail, "Zhou Zhou will pay back the money in the morning. Xiao Ma's daughter-in-law hanged herself, and Zhou Zhou was rescued."

Gu Zhao frowned when he heard this. Although Mrs. Ma's life was safe, his family Zhou Zhou must have been affected when he rushed into the house. He was probably anxious and scared to carry her down—if he couldn't be rescued, his family Zhou Zhou must have been affected. Definitely blame yourself.

"Take a sip of hot water first, don't be afraid, you'll be fine when you get back." Gu Zhao coaxed his wife by pouring hot tea.

Li Zhouzhou was sitting on the stool. He was not squeamish before, but he was worried for a day, and when he heard his husband coaxing him, he couldn't stop his emotions and said, "I'm fine, just, I was scared at the time, and my hands were shaking." Well, I don't dare to think that Mrs. Ma will really be gone later, and her tongue sticks out."

"Now it's Zhou Zhou who rescued someone. Sister-in-law Ma is not dead, but she is still alive. Zhou Zhou is very good at doing a good job." Gu Zhao repeated the words again and again, holding his wife's hand.

Li Zhouzhou looked calm when he made the arrangements. He was forced to learn from his husband, so he didn't panic and calm down before encountering a situation. In fact, his hands were cold, and his mind was full of going in and seeing Mrs. Ma shaking her body.

"It's really all right."

Li Zhouzhou felt at ease, felt that he was like a child and had to be coaxed by his father-in-law, saying that he was fine, he was hungry after cooking, let's eat quickly.

The family had dinner, washed and lay down on the bed.

Now that the sky is short and it gets dark early, plus what happened today, Zhou Zhou's small class was suspended for a day, Gu Zhao took his wife to bed, wrapped her in a quilt and hugged her tightly, and told stories about what happened at school.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep like this.

But at night, Li Zhouzhou woke up with a start. He had a nightmare. He dreamed that he rushed in, and Mrs. Ma's tongue was sticking out, her face was pale, and she was already dead.

Suddenly woke up in a cold sweat.

Li Zhouzhou almost just woke up, and Gu Zhao also woke up. First, he hugged Zhou Zhou and patted his back gently. He lit the oil lamp, put on his clothes, and there was a pot on the charcoal heating stove in the house. He poured hot water and handed it to Zhou Zhou. week.

"Don't be afraid, drink some hot water, I'm here."

Gu Zhao saw that Zhou Zhou's forehead was covered with sweat and his back was wet, so he hurriedly found a new set for Zhou Zhou to change into.Li Zhouzhou blamed himself, his husband had to go to school tomorrow, and was woken up by him——

"Who said you woke me up? I just sneaked around and wanted to kiss you while you were asleep." Gu Zhao curled his lips after finishing speaking, "But Zhou Zhou found out, otherwise you will have many tooth marks on your face early tomorrow morning .”

Li Zhouzhou's heart was heavy when he heard Xianggong's call, he laughed for some reason, and said: "Xianggong is always talking nonsense to tease me."

"You know what you're talking nonsense?" Gu Zhao took the cup and put it aside, got into bed and got into the bed, hugged Zhou Zhou to his full arms, opened his mouth and kissed his wife on the cheek: "I not only want to give Zhou Zhou Tooth marks on the face, and other places."

Li Zhouzhou shrunk his neck itchyly, but the coldness he was afraid of in the dream was gone.

The two really messed around once, this time Li Zhouzhou was sweating, his heart was hot, he was tired and sleepy, he slept soundly, and it was dawn.Gu Zhao didn't sleep much, so he kissed Zhou Zhou first. It seems that the matter of the neighbor's house needs to be solved, otherwise Zhou Zhou will always worry about that family...

The next day, Ma's shop was still closed.

Mrs. Ma is determined to die. Her man is afraid, regrets and blames himself, and guards all day long.Neighbors in the alley heard Ma's sister-in-law man crying, saying that he is not a human being, he should stop him, it was his fault at the beginning, it was his inability to have a child, Gui Niang, you...

But what's the use? The neighbors felt sympathetic after hearing this, and there was no other way.

Li Zhouzhou cheered up to do business, and he couldn't let Xianggong worry about him.In the afternoon, Xianggong came back, and Brother Zheng also arrived.

"You don't need to pour the water. My eldest brother and I will go to Ma's house next door, and my eldest brother will go back to eat later." Gu Zhaoxian said.

Zheng Hui nodded: "Yes, I have to go home, Rou Niang is waiting for me to eat, so you don't need to greet me."

"We went there together on Zhou Zhou, my elder brother and I are not good at being big men." Gu Zhao made an excuse.

Li Zhouzhou nodded hurriedly, didn't know what was going on, so he knocked on the gate of Ma's courtyard with his grandpa Zheng, he was embarrassed to be empty-handed, and brought some eggs for Ma's sister-in-law to replenish her body.

As soon as the three of them entered the yard, they first saw that Mrs. Ma's cheeks were also red and swollen.Gu Zhao said in his heart that he deserved it, but he got to the point and said: "I heard from my husband yesterday that Brother Ma is not in a hurry to thank you. I can see Mrs. Ma and I have something to say."

"Chengcheng, please come inside." The man from Ma's family beckoned people to enter the house, he came out to open the door, he was not at ease after leaving the courtyard for a long time, he was afraid that Niang Gui would do something else.

The yard of Ma’s house is small, with three yards. For business, two rooms were opened up because of the table, and the remaining one is used for sleeping, resting and eating on weekdays. In the past, Ma’s sister-in-law was diligent, and the place was kept clean even though it was small. Well, it's only been two days, and all the things and food brought back from the countryside are piled up, and there is no place to mess around in the house.

Sister-in-law Ma's mother-in-law brought food to save money for the couple, don't waste money recklessly, take home the more money you earn, how expensive rice noodles are in prefectures and counties.

"You don't need to pour water." Zheng Hui didn't want to stay longer after seeing the environment, the windows were closed tightly, and the room smelled bad, so he said, "Did you hurt your body so you can't have a baby?"

Gu Zhao: ...

"My elder brother doesn't mean anything else. His grandfather specializes in treating infertility and having children." Gu Zhao quickly explained.

Li Zhouzhou's eyes lit up when he heard that, that's right, if Mrs. Ma's man is cured, won't he be able to have children?He first looked at Mrs. Ma, who was originally in a daze, but now she rolled her eyes and looked over.

"Yes, yes, but I saw a doctor and took medicine for more than a year." The man from the Ma family said.His family is in a village not far from the prefecture county. It is a matter of descendants, and he didn't dare to feel sorry for the money.

"It's useless. The doctor in Ronghetang said that I have no hope in this life."

The light in Ma's sister-in-law's eyes disappeared again. The man hugged her and regretted slapping her to make amends. She knew that men were suffering in their hearts. Just like her, she also complained about men. If she had listened to her back then, Is it okay to give the money to the bad guys?

Does she not have to live those useless days and be tortured by her mother-in-law?

She is fine with everything, but she can't have her own child, doesn't she feel pain? Does she not want a child? She even dreamed of having a child of her own. Who wants to provide for my uncle.

So at the time, when the words were out of the way, she blurted out in a fit of anger and confessed the grievances in her heart, which hurt the man, so the mother-in-law made a move, and he watched, although she pulled away later, the mother-in-law did not resent, she It's just that there is no hope, so what's the point of doing it all day.

The mother-in-law coaxed them with words, and now they can hear it and see it.

The two of them are bound, and they can only be like the cows in the field, working every day, working, and holding a child. The Ma family is not willing, saying that they are of blood from outsiders, so they might as well provide for their own... These days are really dead. .

"I don't know which doctor you are talking about in Ronghetang. Anyway, my grandfather is a wonderful doctor who has cured many cases like yours."

Gu Zhao added on the sidelines, "Since Brother Ma's situation is already so bad, no matter how bad it is, it won't go anywhere. Brother Zheng's home is in Ping'an Town, and it only takes a day to go there by mule cart. You don't have the heart to open a shop right now. For buying and selling, it’s better to go and have a look first.”

"Even if you don't have any hope, it's still the same old result. It's good for you to take your sister-in-law to relax."

Zheng Hui handed over the letter, "My grandfather doesn't come to the clinic very often now. If you go, give the letter to the shop assistant and say that I introduced you. My father's medical skills are not as good as my grandfather's. If you have intractable diseases, Then I can only ask my grandfather."

"..." You are really your father's good son.

The man from the Ma family wavered and hesitated, especially when he heard what Gu Xiucai said, yes, he has lost hope, the worst is just like this, he should just accompany Guiniang to relax, if it doesn't work out, Guiniang will still It is better to die together than to seek death.

Coming out of Ma's house, Gu Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Brother, please trouble me to make such a trip."

"It's settled, leave me a bowl of marinated water tomorrow, and it doesn't matter if he goes or not."

"Yes, yes, I will do it myself."

Gu Zhao saw off the guests with a smile, and did not stay for Zheng Hui for dinner.

The next day, the Ma's shop was still silently closed, and people in the alley said one after another, guessing that the Ma's noodle shop was about to close?Impossible, Ma's yard is rented every three years, and it seems that the payment was made last year, and there are two years left, so it can't be left empty. Ma's sister-in-law is afraid that she will not be able to do it now, and she may be waiting, waiting. It'll be fine in a few days.

Li Zhouzhou was also waiting. He hoped that Mrs. Ma would go to Ping'an Town to see a doctor. Whether it was good or bad, at least there was hope.

On the third day, it was still dark and it was very dark. Li Da took a mule cart to pull him into the water, and when he went out, he saw the couple next door carrying their bundles.

"Morning, Uncle Li." Sister-in-law Ma said hello first, her voice was low and hoarse, if it wasn't quiet, she wouldn't have heard it at all.

Li Da nodded in surprise, and said, "Where are you going? I will give you a ride along the way." He thought that going out of the prefecture and going to the west should not be on the way.

Sure enough, the man from the Ma family said: "It's not on the way, we want to go to Ping'an Town." After speaking, he helped Gui Niang and left, disappearing into the night at the end of the alley.

Li Da didn't say much, just patted the mule's neck when he got on the mule cart, let out a long breath, "Okay, okay." He went to the west to pull into the water.

Later I heard from Mrs. Ma that after Gu Xiucai and the others left, the two of them struggled and felt uncomfortable that night and the next day during the day, fearing that hope would be lost again, but the man said it was impossible. Can give birth.

At any rate, Mrs. Ma has some light, which is better than the invisible pancake drawn by her mother-in-law now.

The couple hired a mule cart and rushed in before the gate of Ping'an Town closed. It was already dark, and they ate some dry food and pancakes at noon.

"Go to Ping'an Street, there are only four gates on the street."

It arrived in two minutes, the town was small, and they were driving a mule cart. The coachman spoke, and the couple came down to see that the four shops were closed now. The man from the Ma family hurried forward to inquire: "Excuse me, ask if it is the Zheng Family Medical Center. "

"That's right, but my house is going to be closed. If you want to see a doctor and get some medicine, wait until tomorrow morning."

"I, I'm here to see a doctor. I'm here to see Dr. Zheng, Zheng Xiucai's grandfather. I have a letter from Zheng Xiucai. Please pass me a message."

The clerk who closed the shop stopped his hands, "Do you know my brother Jiahui?" Looking at the scars on the couple's face, the palm prints on the face were swollen, but it was just a skin trauma, just apply some ointment. As for this matter, looking at the handwriting on the letter, it seems to belong to Brother Hui.

"Yes, I don't count as acquaintances. My family lives in Shiliu Lane, and the noodle shop I run is next door to Gu Xiucai's --"

"You still know Gu Xiucai? Why didn't you tell me earlier, come in and talk first." The clerk greeted the two of them to come in and sit down, and said enthusiastically, "Drink tea first, you must have dark eyes when you come from the prefecture, let me ask first." in charge..."

After all, people went to the backyard.

The Zheng family's shop is large, with a courtyard at the back, a place where the guys rest and eat, and a place where the medicinal materials are processed and dried. On weekdays, idlers and others are not allowed to enter.

The shop was empty, and the Ma family and his wife looked at each other. They didn't know why, but it was okay to mention Zheng Xiucai. Although the clerk didn't make things difficult, he immediately became enthusiastic when he mentioned Gu Xiucai, which made the Ma family and his wife think they were talking the wrong way.

Later, when the steward came out, he warmly vacated a room for the couple to rest, so that the couple could stay at ease for one night. Early in the morning, he asked the staff to deliver a letter to the house and invite the old man to come over.

This Ma's shop is closed again.

Li Zhouzhou was still muttering, when his father came back, he heard his father said that he met the couple early in the morning before dawn, and they were going out of the city gate with their bags on their backs.Now that Li Zhouzhou knew about it, his mind was settled, and he stopped worrying about the courtyard wall of Ma's house.

When Gu Zhao came back that day, seeing Zhou Zhou's face full of joy and energy, he knew that the couple next door had gone to Ping'an Town, and Zhou Zhou's small class resumed that day.

It was still five days before I saw the Ma family couple again.

It happened that Gu Zhao rested at home that day.

After the couple walked for a few days, people in the alley at first thought that something was wrong, but later they heard that they had gone to seek medical treatment, and they still murmured in their hearts that they had been broken for eight or nine years. I was cheated.

In the evening of this day, when I saw the Ma family couple for the first time, the big guys naturally watched the excitement and asked for concern.

After leaving for so many days, Mrs. Ma seems to be in good spirits, do you understand?

"I went to see a doctor. Thanks to Gu Xiucai, I found Zheng Xiucai to come to my house to persuade..."

"Old doctor Zheng said that it can be cured, but I was delayed for a long time before, and I had to take acupuncture and medicine. It took a year faster, but two or three years slower. My husband and I wanted to move to Ping'an Town for treatment and recuperation. Body, the yard here has been rented out."

what?

Can it really be cured?Don't be a liar.

But it was introduced by Gu Xiucai, Li's shop was still open, if Gu Xiucai lied to others, his reputation would be ruined.When Mrs. Zhou heard that it was Zheng Xiucai's family, she immediately said: "The designation is correct. I didn't realize it when I was pregnant with Si Niang. It was Zheng Xiucai who saw me and said I was
