Goldfield
Chapter 196: Court officer

In Yu Xiaocao's consciousness, the small holy stone could communicate with the woman, [Saving one's life was more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. Don't worry, I'll help you. Do you want to go tonight, or.].

“Cui... Cuiyun!” The words of the little holy stone were interrupted by an old voice and trembled. The three people and one ghost all looked towards the voice and saw the figure of Old Yu appear under the moonlight. After tonight, Old Yu seemed to suddenly become much older.

The woman in white looked at Old Yu with a gaze that no longer had any warmth in it. With a faint gaze, she said, “Yu Liqiu, our affection in marriage is already completely erased as you remain silent about Madam Zhang's actions. To be honest, I'm very disappointed in you! People often say: ‘With stepmother, one will also have a stepfather.’ It is true ah! ”

It was uncertain whether it was due to nostalgia or guilt, but Old Yu's face was covered in tears. She said in a trembling voice, “I'm sorry that I didn't take good care of our children. I let you down ah! ”

There was no emotion whatsoever in the voice of the woman as she said, “There is no need to say these unnecessary words. I don't want to listen to them anymore. I do not need your repentance and redemption. The best way to make up for your mistakes is to stop causing so much trouble for the Haier family in the future. ”

After which, he looked towards Yu Hai with reluctance and said in a soft voice, “Haier, I have to go! Reincarnation is the best ending for me. Don't sad. You must stay healthy. ”.

He looked at the kitten in Xiaocao's arms. The little holy stone understood his meaning. A golden light shot out from the woman's body, and her figure slowly faded …

“Ibu——” Shouts Yu Hai, which sounds more tragic and sad in the quiet mountain forest. However, he also knew that reincarnation was the best choice for his mother. Although he was reluctant to let go, it was impossible to let him stay.

Old Yu sobbed, crying bitterly as he muttered, “He still blames me ah, still blames me.. He won't forgive me! Cuiyun, Cuiyun.. I have let you down ah !! ”

One person knelt on the mountain road, while the other stood with his back bent. Yu Hai and Old Yu both looked towards the scattered figure for a long time. A cold mountain breeze blew, and Yu Xiaocao sneezed loudly.

This sneeze freed Yu Hai from his feelings of sadness. Yu Hai rubbed the corner of his eyes and stood up. He took off his outer jacket and wrapped it around his daughter's body, then said in a rather hoarse voice, “Cao’er, quickly put this on. Don't catch a cold — Father, you should also go back. ”

“He still blames me. He still blamed me ah.. ”As if he was possessed, Old Yu kept repeating this sentence.

Yu Hai sighed and softly said, “Dad, I don't blame you, and neither does Mother !! Madam Zhang was right about something: The youngest brother and sister are also descendants of the Yu Family. There is flesh on both palms and on the back of the hands. They are still young, so there is no harm in you being on their side. Don't think too much and come back quickly! ”

Old Yu raised his head and looked at his son, whom he had worried about since childhood, with blurred eyes from tears. If she paid more attention to her son, would Madam Zhang change her mind about his actions? Will his son suffer less? Wouldn't Cuiyun blame him? Not much ‘how-if’ in life. People should be responsible for their own actions!

“Dahai! You've separated from your family, so there's no need to worry about family matters. In the future, just live a good life !! ” Old Yu turned around and walked back along the steep mountain road. His footsteps looked very heavy!

Yu Hai looked at his father's back, which was no longer tall and straight. He opened his mouth and finally shouted, “ lest I leave the family, you remain my father! I will not give you the slightest bit of filial respect that I will give you ... ”But, for the things that he does not need to give, he will not even take out a single copper coin!

The father and daughter returned to the old residence while supporting each other. Looking at the three staggered mud brick buildings, suddenly Yu Hai said, “After the autumn harvest, let's rebuild our house! Let's destroy the old building and buy the land next to us, so that we can build a roofed tile house with five spacious rooms. We can expand the front and back pages! We must live well so that your grandmother can be reincarnated without worry. ”.

Although Yu Xiaocao preferred to buy a house and land in the city, he had to nod his head to support her after hearing her words, “Mhm! If we are going to build a house, then we have to build the best house in the village. We should also get a glass window like the one in Brother Han's house. This can brighten up the house as well as warm it up. ”

“Good! Let's open the window! ” Yu Hai took a deep breath, releasing the tightness in his chest. Anyone who knew that their mother was killed by someone would feel uneasy in their hearts. Fortunately, his mother showed up today and told him that she did not blame him. She also told him to live a good life .. ‘Mother, you can be sure. I will definitely live well! ‘

The next day, Yu Xiaocao stayed at home and had a rare spare time. The watermelon shop business had gone well, so Aunt Eldest Mother could handle the shop herself. So, he did not need to help and was able to rest well.

Around noon, Xiaocao's younger uncle, Yu Bo, returned in a daze with several bailiffs behind him.

After what happened last night, there was no one in the Yu Family who did not know what Madam Zhang had done. Madam Li felt ashamed of her mother-in-law in her heart, but she did not have the slightest impression of her father-in-law's first wife and Madam Zhang was her husband's biological mother, so he certainly wouldn't do it. whatever wasn't appropriate.

Madam Zhang has been bullied by ‘ghantu’ all night, so she is on the verge of a mental breakdown. When she heard Madam Li's words, she walked inside the room and did not know where to hide…

“Mother! We have been deceived! We were fooled ah !! ” As soon as Yu Bo entered the door, he saw Madam Zhang with disheveled hair and pale skin. She was stunned at first, and then she kept crying.

Hearing the crying voice of her younger son, Madam Zhang was stunned for a moment and then she stood up with a loud cry, “Xiaobo, what are you saying? The one who said that he would help you enter Rongxuan Academy was a fraud? Then... the three hundred taels I gave you? Did you give it to him? ”

Without the slightest bit of scientific aura, Yu Bo had a sullen face as he squatted on the ground and held his head, “That guy came to me yesterday and asked for some money to attract some social relations, to get some social relations, so I gave him all three hundred taels. This morning, the court clerk came and said that he was a fraud, and they had arrested him. Tomorrow, we need to face him in court. ”

“Then... The court clerk did not come to arrest me?” Madam Zhang looked at the courtyard and asked in a low voice.

Yu Bo looked at him strangely and asked, “Capture you? Wh-wh-what for? They just went through the usual procedures and came to call you for questioning in court tomorrow. We just got tricked. It's not like we're doing anything illegal. ”

‘You didn't do it, but I did it ah !!’ Madam Zhang could not express her depressed feelings. Last night, after Yu Hai left, his family had a family meeting and decided to bring his shameful past to their grave. In particular, they could not tell Yu Bo so as not to affect her mood for learning.

Seeing her mother still in a daze, Yu Bo hurriedly reminded her, “Mother, the bailiff has already traveled so far, so we should give them a drink first. We can't let them work on an empty stomach, so we have to keep their lunch! Second Brother-in-law and Xiaocao are good cooks, should we have them come to help us prepare the dish table? ”

Madam Zhang's heart was even more bitter than ah Chinese golden thread! Last night, he had just signed a contract and promised not to interfere with the second branch again. If he went to ask them to help cook today, wouldn't he slap his own face? Yu Hai had evidence of his crimes in his hands. With how much the man loved his wife, if he found out that she went to order his wife to work after vowing to leave them alone, he would definitely report his crimes to the county magistrate.

Madam Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said, “Your second brother's family is so busy that they wish everyone could work like two people. So, how can we bother them now? Zhang Quan's wife is also good at cooking, so let's ask for her help! ”

Yu Bo felt even more shocked in her heart, ‘When did Mother learn to be so considerate of Second Brother's family? Is the sun rising from the west today? ‘ But, he also heard in town that Second Brother's watermelon shop is very busy. His mother was right, does it matter who they ask to help cook?

Madam Zhang sent Madam Li to invite Zhang Quan's wife, and then she went to the courtyard and politely greeted the court attendant. After that, he went to the chicken coop, caught a big chicken, and killed it. He really appreciated some of the chickens they kept at home. He wasn't even willing to kill one for the New Year, so he actually came out today!

He took out some eggs, but put them back after thinking about it. He waved his hand to call his younger son, “Xiaobo, do you think we can get the cheated money back?”

Yu Bo put on an anxious expression as he said, “Blogically, I just gave him money yesterday, so it's only been a day. So, the man would definitely not have enough time to spend it all. But..”

He looked outside and whispered, “People often said: ‘Yamen entrance is shaped like an eight character. Even if one had a reason, they should not enter without money. ‘ In my opinion even if three hundred taels are found, most likely they will be seized. ”.

Madam Zhang's heart is dripping blood ah! Three hundred taels is not a small amount of money ah! That's more than half of the family's savings. Without the money Yu Hai earned from catching bears, there was no way their family could earn three hundred taels in this lifetime. He covered his heart as his legs went limp and he sat on the ground.

“Mother! Mom, what's wrong? Don't scare me ah !! ” Yu Bo saw Madam Zhang clutching her chest and looked like she was having trouble breathing, and she was instantly confused.

Madam Zhang took a deep breath several times, then sat on the ground, crying silently. He recalled the words Xiaocao had spoken that day. What kind of place is Rongxuan Academy? It was a place where all the high officials and wealthy businessmen struggled to send their son !! Not to mention five hundred taels, even if five thousand taels or fifty thousand taels were what they needed to get into the school, there would still be people competing for that chance. Good thing, how could ordinary people like them get this chance? Why would he be stupid and actually believe the con man's persuasion words?

“Mother, are you feeling a little better now? It's all my fault! If it wasn't for me, our family wouldn't have lost that much money. You also don't have to worry too much! ” Yu Bo also deeply regrets it at this time. If it wasn't because he wanted to go to school so badly, how could he be a target and a scam?
