Chapter 14 third quarter

Although Mrs. Kui looked a little tired, she returned home happily.Madam seemed to be having a great time this day, and brought back yellow and white candies shaped like chrysanthemums for A Xing and A Dao. Madam immediately saw that there was something wrong with Ah Liu's expression.Knowing that Madam shouldn't worry about such things, Ah Liu couldn't keep silent. "How did he find this place? It's been three years, how did he..." Madam frowned slightly and said: "Just because it's been three years, it must have taken him a lot of time to find it."

"He actually knows that the children are going to the Fachun Court..." "I must have found out that you were here a long time ago, and then hid and spied on. Today, I probably saw Axing and the others coming to Fachunyuan, so I followed them." Ah Liu clasped his hands tightly around his body.Just thinking of Sun Ba's eyes, that voice, and the way he spoke, he couldn't help trembling. For Ah Liu and the children disappearing from his eyes, Sun Ba seemed to have an explanation in his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have said that with a smile on his face. "Ah Liu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Are you thinking of me? You think you can't bring the children with me. You are considerate of me. I'm afraid that if I have to support Ah Xing and Ah Dao all of a sudden, it will be too hard for me. But I don't care at all, I regard Ah Xing and Ah Dao as my own."

Who would think so!How shameless is this person? "Then how do you return?" "I naturally told him, 'You made a mistake, I have no intention of being with you at all. I am a helper in this family, and the three children are living happily. Don't come to provoke us again'." "and then?" "He smiled maliciously and said, 'Don't be brave, Ah Liu's sincerity is written on his face, I can see it'." Ah Liu was so angry that he wished he could pick up firewood and beat Sun Ba until his skin was torn to pieces, until he couldn't see that disgusting thief laughing.

"But, today he still went back obediently?" "Yes, the vegetable seller just happened to be here, so he didn't mess around." "Did he say he would come again tomorrow? No, he would definitely come even if he didn't say so." "He wants to bring money." Ah Liu clenched his lips. "He said, anyway, you must have borrowed money from the host's family, and I will help you pay it off. I replied that I didn't borrow money, but he said it was impossible, and told me not to be polite. He also said that he also wanted to help Ah Xing and Ah Dao to buy money. new clothes."

"You actually let the child wear such old clothes, so didn't I tell you earlier? You, a woman, can't afford to raise children." Sun Ba smiled frivolously.However, his face was expressionless and lifeless, there was no smile in his eyes, and his pupils were dark and cold.When Ah Liuguang thought of his own appearance reflected in those eyes, he trembled with fear. "You take the child, and the three of you move to the room next to mine." Madam ordered. "But……" "Now is not the time to be polite. The door must be closed. Also, don't let the children go to the court for the time being. I will write to the master tomorrow and ask the master to send someone over."

"I can't trouble Ma'am like this..." Before she finished talking, Madam interrupted her. "This is not for you alone. Tomorrow, Sun Bacheng will come to pay off your debt, and I want to see him. I am your master! However, it is dangerous to see this monster-like man alone. Pon must arrange a reliable person first." "In this way, he will retreat in spite of difficulties?" "Threatening alone is probably useless. I will tell him tomorrow that Ah Liu borrowed fifty taels from me. You can make up whatever name the fifty taels are for. As long as you can't make up the fifty taels, I won't let you go." Ah Liu and the child take a step away from this room."

Fifty taels is a huge number.In this way, Sun Ba had no choice but to retreat in spite of the difficulties.An oil seller who takes the burden and sells goods will never make so much money in his life. Ah Liu felt relieved, but Mrs. Kui seemed to see through her mind, and continued: "But Ah Liu, it's too early to be relieved. It seems that this man is more dangerous than you imagined. Next he will definitely say, It's pitiful that you are tied up in debt, run away with me. Even if you don't want to, I will force you to take you away. If you can't take you away, I will arrest Axing and A Dao as threats. With children as hostages, You have to give in, not to mention children are better off."

Ah Liu couldn't help covering his mouth, and stared at Mrs. Kui. "You think I'm a woman who has nothing to do with you, so I just make sarcastic remarks?" The madam smiled wryly. "No, no, how could I!" Ah Liu quickly shook his head. "No... I just think that Madam may know better than me what bad things that man will do." Madam put away her smile and nodded seriously. "Yeah, maybe I know more about people like Sun Ba than you—or rather, I know better about the horrors of those ghosts hidden in the world." For a moment, the lady's eyes looked into the distance.

"Anything you want, you have to get it no matter what. You don't use any means to do it, and you only think about yourself. This kind of monsters and ghosts are everywhere. I have seen too much. Although I don't want to see them at all." Madam's words sounded like someone was reminded. "Anyway, Liu, you must not take it lightly. As I said just now, Sun Ba is very dangerous, and you can never be too careful." Ah Liu lowered his eyes. "But madam, you don't have to worry about me... No, I'm not worth your troubles. It's best for me to get away from here and go somewhere else - away from Edo, far away. So, I would like to ask you to resign..."

From the moment he mentioned today's matter to his wife, Ah Liu realized that his days here were over, and he wanted to bid farewell to this house and his wife. However, Madam did not allow her to finish. "What kind of nonsense is that?" Ah Liu was startled as if he had been slapped. "Where are you going to escape? With a child who can't walk a few steps, no job, no place to live, and no one to turn to. Are you going to leave Edo? Have you ever gone out of Edo when you grow up? No!" The lady was right.When Xinji was still there, the two agreed that when the child was older and his feet were steady, they thought of going to Kawasaki to pay homage to Master Yu.But it didn't work out.

"If you want to escape now, you can only escape to the bottom of Dachuan, hold the hands of Axing and A Dao, and jump in with a plop. How can I let you do such a stupid thing! If you want to leave anyway, then you Do it yourself, I will help you with the child, do you want this?" Of course Ah Liu couldn't do it, and Madam knew this very well.She grabbed Ah Liu's shoulder and shook it vigorously. "You can't show weakness. When you meet this kind of person, it's useless to run away. If you don't deal with it head-on, you can't get rid of it." "Want to fight recklessly with him?" Ah Liu's voice must have been so weak and hoarse that it was unbelievable, Mrs. Kui said like a bachelor: "Ah, there is really nothing I can do about you." "Ah Liu, won't you be unwilling?" Of course not reconciled.How can I be reconciled to being cornered and threatened even though I obviously haven't done anything bad. "You child...you are too honest." Madam hesitated for some reason, glanced away slightly and murmured. "It's not just you, it's also the same as the senior hawker who first asked you to pay attention to Sun Ba and said that Sun Ba had something wrong with you. He's much older than you, didn't he find anything?" "What does madam mean?" "Ah Liu, let me ask you." Madam suddenly sighed and looked directly at Ah Liu. "If you can live here in peace, I don't want to say anything. Now it seems that there is no way, so I will tell you. Have you never suspected that your husband died in a different way?" Ah Liu was stunned.Shinji's cause of death? "When I heard you talk about your life experience, I found it strange. People who worked hard yesterday are still young, and they would not leave so suddenly. Since your husband was alive, Sun Bazao secretly planned on you, Isn't it? Then in order to get you, it's not surprising that he wants to get rid of your troublesome husband, isn't it?" Ah Liu was speechless.That night——Xinji came back shivering, shivering from the cold, his face was pale, he only said "I have a terrible headache, I'm going to lie down for a while", and never got up again. "We have no way of knowing the details of what method Sun Ba used. Maybe he was poisoned, maybe he was punched and kicked. There are no wounds on his body, and there is no guarantee that he was not fatally injured, especially if he was hit on the head. from." Ah, maybe it is.Is it really so... "Xinji, from what you said, he should be honest and not talkative, right? He might have had some conflicts with Sun Ba that night, so I didn't say anything because I was afraid you would be worried. Of course, he himself never expected to die like this. Bar." Ah Liu pressed his throat with both hands.If she didn't, she'd be sure to yell.Even so, he couldn't hide his hoarse sobs. "I...why am I so confused..." "Don't do this. Regret it now, it will only make your husband sad. You have to stand up, open your eyes, and give it a go. Not only to protect the child, but also to avenge your husband." Mrs. Kui's beautiful face was full of fighting spirit, and her eyes were shining.Ah Liu stared at Mrs. Kui speechlessly, feeling a blur in front of his eyes, and nodded vigorously.Then the tears rolled down, and the blurred eyes disappeared again.Ah Liu firmly grasped Madam's hand on her shoulder.
