Chapter 93 The ninety-first chapter spring water comes out of the mountain, leaving old traces and clothes glaring afterburning marks

At that time, Second Sister Chen wanted to report Qingqiu's symptoms, but Mrs. Jin was not awake, and she was in a hurry here.Unexpectedly, Hu Ma, who was with Aunt Cui, stepped into the house in a panic.Seeing Second Sister Chen sitting here alone, she shrank back.After shrinking and turning around, she stopped for a while, and then she turned around again.Seeing her hesitation, Second Sister Chen, anticipating something, went up to her and took her hand, stood aside and asked, "What's the matter?" Mother Hu said in a low voice, "What should we do? We The third aunt is gone too." When the second sister Chen heard this, her heart skipped a beat, she paused, and asked, "When did you leave?" Hu's mother said, "She got up early this morning and said yes. Go to the hospital to see a doctor. I am afraid that my body will not be able to support it, so I want Yuer to go all the way. I am very surprised. She said that she was not feeling well last night, but she did not have any other symptoms. Why is the situation How important is that? Just now I received a call from Yu'er, saying that it was a surreptitious call from the station. My concubine has already bought a train ticket and is taking her to Tianjin. She said she didn't want to go to Shanghai with her concubine, so she made a special call. Tell me on the phone and let me tell my wife to stop them back. But when I said it, I was afraid that my wife would say that I was in collusion, so I couldn't stand it." Second Sister Chen seemed to be concerned about her affairs, The face is red and white.Then he said: "This matter is no small matter, how can we not tell my wife? I'll go and wake my wife up." So he went to the bed, and calmly called twice, but he didn't wake up twice, so he had to amplify his voice and wake up. .Mrs. Jin turned over and sat up, and asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter?" The second sister Chen paused, and then said: "The third aunt took Yu'er out early in the morning." Mrs. Jin sneered: "Earlier in the morning Go, let her go. Now that she is lawless, who can interfere with her going out?" Second sister Chen knew that Mrs. Jin still misunderstood, so she said: "The third aunt is not going out to buy things, nor is she a guest, but a date. The train is going to Tianjin." Mrs. Jin asked as she got out of bed and stepped on her shoes, "How did you know?" Second Sister Chen said, "Mama Hu came in to tell you." Mama Hu was outside the door and had already heard Mrs. Jin got out of bed to talk, then came in and told the story again.Mrs. Jin sneered twice, then sat down on the sofa chair again, and remained silent for a while.Suddenly he stood up and walked towards Aunt Cui's room.Second Sister Chen and Mother Hu didn't know what was going on with her, so they followed closely behind.When she arrived at Aunt Cui's room, Mrs. Jin first looked through the unlocked cupboard and table. Although there were still things inside, they were old and tattered.Turning around, she said to Second Sister Chen, "I'm in charge. Open one of the locked boxes and let me have a look." Second Sister Chen stepped forward, holding the box high with both hands, because she said, "use it Don't open it, the box is very light, probably empty." Mrs. Jin then lifted all the boxes, and lifted them up without any effort.Turning her face around, she said to Hu's mother, "Are you pretending to be stupid on purpose? Or did you just find out this morning?" Hu's mother said, "Am I still hiding from my wife and colluding with my aunt?" Mrs. Jin said, "Are you a A dead person? With her every day, how could you not know when she moved the things in these boxes clean?” Hu Ma said: “Madam, think about it, she moves her own things by herself. Whether it's in the dark or in the dark, how can others suspect that she has any usefulness? Who can guess that she will run away?" Mrs. Jin pondered for a while, then said: "You are the person Ah Nan found, Ah Nan is also brought by Miss Fifth from Suzhou, so I shouldn’t doubt you. But you have to know, you have been with her for so long, and talking to everyone, I can’t insure you, you should. Stay well for two days, let everyone go to investigate and find out the truth, and it turns out that you are all right, so you can go out of this gate." After hearing this, Hu's mother's face turned red, her nose shrugged, and she shed tears Come.The tears flowed, and I couldn't maintain the original situation. I choked up and said, "I've been in the house for so long, and I didn't expect to get such a bad reputation." Second Sister Chen said, "Sister Hu, what's the matter with you? Can’t you hear me clearly? My wife just wants you to wait until the truth comes out because she believes in you. If she doubts you, she can’t treat you like this now.” Mrs. Jin is full of worries, and she can’t care whether Mama Hu suffers or not at this time When I was wronged, I immediately asked Second Sister Chen to find Brother Fengju, only Yanxi was not at home, and the three older brothers would come in a while.When Mrs. Jin told about Aunt Cui, everyone fell silent.This is because Mrs. Jin has long had an incurable idea about this family, but she wants to maintain her face and doesn't want people to gossip.Therefore, facts and thoughts are always in conflict, which has caused her to suffer from problems all over her body.If I want to talk to her about these things now, it will increase her pain, and I'm afraid she will really fall ill.Mrs. Jin was sitting on a sofa, resting her head on one hand, and was also muffled without saying a word.It was still Pei Fang who came, and Mrs. Jin patted her legs and said: "You used to say that this person is good, and you hang out with her, now look at what she has done? A dead ghost does a big thing in his life, and it's just that he does it twice. 14 points confused." As he spoke, he stomped his feet again.Unexpectedly, because of this incident, Peifang was taught a lesson by Mrs. Jin.When I saw this picture, of course I couldn't argue with Aunt Cui, so I laughed and said, "Who knows who will be a good person and who will be a bad person in the future? This is also a combination of those two old sayings, which are called 'Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors. In the past, she was always a..." When Peifang said the word "one", she knew that the next word could not be said, so she paused, and then said: "Whether Why, people who live in the same family always have a relationship, and it's not how they treat her particularly well." Mrs. Jin said: "There is no need to distinguish these words. Now we all need to discuss this matter. What kind of attitude do you have?" Feng Ju said: "How can there be any way? Of course it is laissez-faire, let her go." Mrs. Jin said: "She is such an ungrateful thing, let her fly away so cheaply, Go to be free and easy?" After saying this, Feng Ju didn't dare to talk too much.Peng Zhen said: "Let's open the box first and check it again. Maybe if we find something in the box, we will have a better way to subdue her. She left, of course, who will bring her here?" But let her have a taste." Then, he found a pair of scissors and a nail hammer, and knocked on the boxes, knocking open a white leather box first.Take a look inside, what's there?There were only two old rolls of batting and a few newspapers.After opening several boxes one after another, there were only one or two pieces of worn-out clothes inside, and there was nothing to find.When they opened the box, Mrs. Jin was very comfortable, looking into the box. When they opened the fifth box, Mrs. Jin waved her hand and said, "Forget it, what's the trouble? Since she was early If you are going to leave, will you still keep a handle in the box?" Feng Ju said: "This is true. If someone has a plan to escape, he will take care of it before and after the event, so why is there still a lot of evidence? What about other people's hands?" Mrs. Jin sat for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "I always refuse to accept it, so she just cleaned it up, and I have to check." He opened the drawers and looked through them all.All letters, bills, and scraps of paper were picked up and checked.But no matter how you check, there is absolutely no trace to be found.There were two registered letters from Shanghai, but there was only one envelope, and the letter paper in the envelope was gone.Mrs. Jin nodded and said: "Humph, I'm really capable, but can't I really find anything wrong with you?" While talking, she continued to clean up a pile of writing paper.In the middle of such cleaning, there was actually a letter with letter paper.Mrs. Jin quickly took it out to have a look. The handwriting was very bad, obviously it was not written by an ordinary person.The letter read:

Mrs. Cui Tai Jian: Received the express letter.My elder sister is in a hurry to escape from Longtan and Tiger's lair, but my younger sister doesn't like it very much.Ah wants to rent a house first, please write a letter to take care of it.Don't ask the north to sell off the diamond ring, just keep it by your side.If you think it will be too much to make a profit, it is better to wait until Zhishen to sell it.The jewels here are easy to get rid of. You don't want to be sincere. You said that it would be best to bring the maid.From the past... Only this one, the future will be incomplete.But Aunt Cui communicated with the Shanghai side, made an appointment to escape, and she wanted to bring money and people, all of which have solid evidence.With a sneer, he said, "What a bitch! A lot of people have abducted my family." Seeing his mother's situation, Feng Ju didn't know what the letter said. Look.Mrs. Jin said: "Take it and see it! When your father is in Japan, I often tell him that he has been to Europe and the United States, and he should adopt a monogamous system. You can't ask for a concubine, and one is enough. Why bother asking for the second one? He said it well, people in Europe and the United States, why don’t they ask for their concubine? It’s just an outside room. There are many rich people who ask for three or four outside rooms. Instead of asking for outside rooms, It’s better to marry a concubine justifiably. You see, he has a great reason for this. He doesn’t understand that love bought by money and love won by power is always unreliable. How is it now?” Mrs. Jin said As he spoke, two lines of tears immediately fell.Fengju said: "Let's just leave when she leaves, and I can't afford to cry with her." Mrs. Jin said: "Am I still reluctant to part with her? I only hate that you don't listen to me when nothing is going on. , now there is a disease, full of holes, all the germs left over from the past, when the patient fell down, they came out to cause trouble. I am afraid that such a disease cannot be cured. I think you should take advantage of the disease in your hands. A few dollars, let’s go to the future early, don’t enjoy the shade under this dead tree anymore. The big storm is coming, I can’t resist it, and it’s too late to find a place to hide. If the trouble is not good, it will die together.” The more Mrs. Jin talked, the more sad she was, she threw the letter in her hand, sat on the sofa chair, turned her back, tears streaming down her face.At this time, everyone had been taught a lesson, and it was inconvenient to go forward to persuade them, but just stared blankly.Feng Ju bent down, picked up the letter and took a look at it. At this time, the news of Aunt Cui's escape had already spread, and the whole family came to see what was going on here.Everyone didn't understand what happened in the second half, and everyone was surprised to see Mrs. Jin lying on the sofa and weeping.If Aunt Cui ran away, Mrs. Jin would cry for her. This is simply an upside-down thing.Mrs. Jin wiped her tears and remembered, if I rewatch it this way, won't they have a misunderstanding?He said: "today, can you prove what I said before that we must separate the family? Everything makes people happy, and people still want to run away. If I don't relax at all, I'm afraid today, even my old life I can't keep it." Speaking of this, he raised his voice and said: "Fengju, you give me these things in her house, check them carefully for me, and show me if there are any clues. I can't let it go. She! I want to send a telegram to Shanghai, and ask someone to punish her in Shanghai." Then, with a straight face, he patted his clothes and left.

As soon as Mrs. Jin left, the room was full of people, and everyone started talking about it. Everyone said in unison that they knew that Aunt Cui would inevitably leave.Fengju was checking things, impatiently, stomping his feet and said: "You are all Liu Bowen's acquired gossip, since you know she is bound to leave, why didn't you report it earlier? Now that she has gone 800 miles away, everyone Let's put this as an afterthought." Peifang said: "What kind of temper are you throwing again? Didn't anyone say it before? I did. I said that Aunt Cui is not like the second concubine, you should settle her down. But you said There will be no such thing. I know, you have a heart disease, you ran away from an aunt by yourself, so you don't want to talk about this kind of thing." Feng raised his nose and snorted: "You scolded me even though you scolded me It's fun, isn't it a little bit out of line?" Peifang was convinced, and was about to refute, when Huichang smiled and said: "Oh! Let the past be the past, what are you talking about in the past?" Peifang said "If he doesn't lose his temper, I don't have to say it, but he has forgotten the past, if I don't mention it, he will think that others are inferior to him." Fengju completely reduced his prestige at this time. I just went to clean up the files, but didn't dare to say anything.At the beginning of cleaning up, there was no need for broken account books and notes, which were all taken out and cleaned up for a while.Although Aunt Cui took away all the documents that could be used as references, she was limited to official documents. As for other documents, there were occasionally one or two root causes of the disease, and she herself would not pay attention to them.However, after careful examination of this matter by those who care about it, the problem is completely revealed.When Fengju saw one, he picked it up, then made a big roll and wrapped it up.The people who came to see the excitement in this room have all left now, only Pei Fang is here, Feng Ju said with a smile: "A lot of people were here just now, you hit me with a big nail like that, how embarrassing it is for you! You know, I just lost my temper, and I didn't say it to you, why did you pretend to be that hero and come out to defeat me?" Peifang said: "They are all from the family, so I will hit you with a snag, and there is no need It doesn't matter much, besides, what I said is also the truth." Feng Ju said: "I don't think it should be like this, it's best that you can cover up my business, and I can cover up yours, too." Pei Fang Said: "I have nothing to do, I want you to cover it up with me. Unless... In fact, I have nothing to do, I want you to cover it up with me." Feng Ju said with a smile: "As long as you say this, it will be fine." , picked up the big bag of documents, put a folder on the ribs, and walked out.Peifang said: "Don't worry, let me ask you, what is in this bag? Besides, I have to ask you, is there anything else I have to ask you to cover up?" Feng Ju smiled and said: " Maybe there is, but I don't know when I found out." Pei Fang was following behind him, talking all the way, but at this moment, she grabbed Feng Ju's skirt and said: "Say it! What do I need? You cover it up for me? Could it be that it was my idea that Aunt Cui escaped?" Feng Ju stood, turned around, and smiled at her: "You are really aggressive when you talk. I said maybe there was, and I didn't It doesn’t mean that there will definitely be one, so why are you in a hurry? For example, you ask me if I will get sick or not? I can only say that there may be a day, but I dare not say absolutely no. Because I said that I might get sick, you have to ask me What kind of disease did you get sick? When did you get sick? Excuse me, how can I answer it?" Pei Fang stood looking at him and smiled, "Is that what you mean?" Feng Ju said: "Of course it is. That’s what it means.” Pei Fang stood there pondering for a while and said, “I’m afraid you may have discovered something new? But if you really discovered something new, I have legitimate reasons to refute you.” Feng Ju said with a smile : "That's very good. Since you think you have legitimate reasons to refute me, don't care if I have any new discoveries? Fortunately..." He walked forward while talking, but Peifang grabbed his lapel and said "What are you busy with? It's not too late to make it clear and go. You said you have found something new, but what exactly did you find?" Feng Ju stopped again, turned around and smiled at her: "I made such a joke, why do you Such full attention?" As he spoke, he looked at her, but pressed the index finger to the thumb with both hands, playing it with a crackling sound, showing a very mischievous look.When Peifang was about to ask him with words, Huichang walked up to him.Seeing Huichang approaching, Peifang had to let go of Fengju and took a step back.Huichang smiled and said, "Is the previous public case gone? I think you are still negotiating." Peifang smiled and said, "It's irrelevant. Our troubles will last a lifetime anyway."

Taking advantage of her talking to Huichang, Feng Ju left without paying attention.Walking into Mrs. Jin's room, Mrs. Jin saw that there were many documents, and said: "Don't mess around, how can there be such a clue?" Feng Ju said: "Of course there are no such things, but there are always some words that are related to each other. Inside. Let me just clean up in this room. But you have to give an order, no matter who it is, can not participate in my cleaning up the documents." Mrs. Jin said: "That's natural, if you want to let several If you do it alone, you will be confused and confused." Feng Ju happily spread the documents on the table after hearing what her mother said, and flipped through them one by one.After flipping through four manuscripts, Pei Fang came.Seeing Fengju sitting on the side of the square table, with a lot of things stacked on his left hand, he put one in his bosom and several under his right hand.Peifang sat down on a square stool by the table, twisted her body halfway, and said, "This is exhausting enough, let me help you a little." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and held the manuscripts to her side, Mrs. Jin said: "You can let him do it alone, and there is no rush. If there are two people, he has no idea, and still has to clean up the second one." If Pei Fang was in her own room, she would not let her It doesn't matter if Feng Ju cleans up.But in front of Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Jin said that she pushed Fengju to clean up alone, and she had to obey.Fengju won the victory, and he was very happy in his heart.But on his face, he didn't show it at all.It was only Mrs. Jin's order, and he was responsible for handling it alone, so he cleaned up the manuscripts calmly, without even raising his head.Although Peifang wanted to make some flair for him, she couldn't make him see it.Feng Ju didn't seem to know why Pei Fang was unhappy, after reading the manuscript in front of her, she casually took the manuscript in front of Pei Fang.Although Peifang didn't know it was intentional.Or it was unintentional, but he hated him for not having a discussion with him, so he got up suddenly and walked away.Mrs. Jin said: "Does Peifang have anything to say to you? I see that she is sitting here, looking a little anxious, and left impatiently." Feng Ju said with a smile: "It's nothing, just now at Aunt Cui's room I quarreled a few more words, but I ran away without reaching a conclusion. She thinks that the debate is not happy enough." Mrs. Jin said: "You are about to support yourself, why are you still arguing like this? Husband and wife are the elements of a family. If the husband and wife cannot cooperate, there will be fundamental problems in the happiness of the family." Feng Ju said with a smile: "She doesn't want to cooperate with me, and I have nothing to do. Personally, I am very I'll accommodate her." Feng Ju was talking, but his eyes were still looking at the document.Here is a small account book, clearly listed a line, the time deposit under the Cuiji of the Daming Bank, and the transfer of Peifang's young lady, totaling 2,000 yuan.The following days are just two weeks apart.Feng Ju looked at it, squeezed a ball of paper casually, and threw it to the spittoon casually, the paper ball was still pinched in the palm of his hand.Because I went to get the cigarette box in my pocket, the paper ball fell into my pocket, so I didn't take it out again.How could Mrs. Jin have thought that throwing away the ball of paper contained a key?So he only vented her sulking on one side, but never said anything.Fengju threw paper balls several times in succession, and Mrs. Jin said: "Irrelevant ones, just put them aside together. This way of throwing made a mess of my spittoon." Fengju stood up, raised both hands, and stretched them out. A lazy waist, smiled and said: "You don't have to deal with this general ledger. If you know it in detail, you will be angry." Mrs. Jin said: "You are joking. I don't want to know, I will Why do you need to take such a big effort to clean up these things?" When he said that, he stretched out his hand and nodded to Fengju.Feng Ju had to take it because her mother stretched out her hand, so she had to send the cleaned up manuscripts to Mrs. Jin.Mrs. Jin saw the first manuscript paper, which was a bill from the silk and satin factory, with a total of more than 1,200 yuan.Open this one, and the bottom one is another bill from a foreign goods store, with a total of more than 500 yuan.Mrs. Jin said: "Aren't all the external accounts settled at the end of last year? How come there are so many accounts?" Fengju said: "This is naturally a new account for this year." Mrs. Jin Said: "This bastard, you just used the money like water. Before your father died, it was only two months, how could you spend so much money on clothes? Have you paid the bill?" Feng Ju Said: "Of course I paid. A businessman will ask for money when he sees that the situation is not right. Otherwise, why bother to make such a list?" Mrs. Jin said: "Looking at it this way, this bitch's money , It’s quite a lot, I can’t see any traces of her embarrassment if she uses it like this. Can I find out how much money she has in this account?” Feng Ju said: “There is no way to check, if it is speculated according to the situation , about one hundred thousand or so?" Mrs. Jin said: "Nonsense, how do you know that she has so much money?" Feng Ju said: "Of course I have a basis to deduce it, how can I talk nonsense? There is no deposit account Well, I have already found out a few large incomes on several deposits with interest, which is calculated by the annual seven per cent. I think the amount is more than 80,000. In addition, the interest is not shown, of course. It's a lot, and it's not too much to say that she has about 100,000 yuan." After speaking, he found a few accounts in the account book and pointed them to Mrs. Jin.Sure enough, some of them said that the interest was charged at 2,000 yuan for half a year, and some said that the interest was 800 yuan for half a year. In addition, there were a few sporadic and small sums, all of which were not less than 100 yuan.Mrs. Jin slapped these manuscripts on the table and said: "It's not that your father is dead, I still want to call him a fool. For this kind of woman, what do you spend a lot of money on? The more money, the more preoccupied she is." The same concubine, why does the second aunt often panic and sometimes borrow money from me?" Fengju said: "She has no chance to ask her father for money, and the eighth younger sister often asks her for money, so she Just panic."

Mrs. Jin ignored Feng Ju's words, and sat sideways on the sofa, just thinking about it.She stood up suddenly and walked out.Feng Ju saw her mother walked out in a fit of anger, as if she had something to solve, she didn't dare to sit still, so she put down the manuscript and walked out after her.Mrs. Jin didn't look back, but kept walking towards Aunt Cui's room.When we arrived at Aunt Cui's room, Mama Hu was cleaning up the things that had been messed up just now.Mrs. Jin sat down on the big chair and said to her: "Clean out all the things in this box, whether it's clothes or shoes and socks, and put them in one box." Hu Ma said: "There is nothing good What do you pick it up for?" Mrs. Jin said: "You don't have to worry about it. You can do whatever I tell you to do." Hu's mother is already a suspect in this case, so she dares to say more I didn't say anything, so I didn't say anything anymore, and moved the bits and pieces in each box to a box.At this time, Feng Ju followed and stood aside, looking puzzled, but silent.Second Sister Chen also saw that Mrs. Jin was angry. For some reason, she followed and stood at the door of the room.Mrs. Jin looked back and said to her, "Go and find some pots of kerosene with me." Second Sister Chen said, "What do you want kerosene for?" Just find it." Second Sister Chen agreed and turned to go.After a while, Second Sister Chen brought two pots of kerosene.Here, Mama Hu put all the things in one box.Mrs. Jin said: "Move these things to the yard." Mama Hu looked at Mrs. Jin, then asked Second Sister Chen to help her carry a suitcase into the yard.Mrs. Jin saw that there was a box to pick up the lamp on the table, she took it casually and put it on her body, went to the yard, and took a look at the suitcase.Seeing Fengju standing beside him, he looked at him and said, "You and I pour out, take the box away." Seeing his mother's face, Fengju was still angry, so he didn't dare to say more, so he turned over the box, Stuff poured out completely.Mrs. Jin didn't give it away any more, she carried two jugs of kerosene with both hands, poured it around a pile of clothes and socks, poured the kerosene cleanly, and threw the jug aside.Wipe off the lamp and light the clothes all around.In a moment, the flames rose and burned in the sun.Feng Ju smiled at the side and said: "You old man has been busy for a long time just for this matter. What's the point of that? It turned out..." Mrs. Jin said: "What happened? Do you think it's a joke? I It's just a joke." Seeing that her mother was still angry, Feng Ju didn't dare to say any more, and stood aside, just smiling slightly.The fire became even more ferocious, a gust of wind blew from the yard, scorched the clothes into charred pieces, whirled around, and was sucked into the air.Mrs. King sat on a chair in the corridor and just watched.It seemed that she was full of anger and had nothing to vent, and followed the flames into the air.Waiting until the clothes were completely burned, Feng Ju said: "Your old man can go back to the room. Everything is burnt, even if you snatch it out, you can't use it, so you don't have to keep it." Mrs. Jin said: " Humph! That's what I mean, I won't let her these things appear in front of me again, if I see them, my eyes will burst into flames! Well, I'll go to the room." She walked back quickly room to go.Mrs. Jin's actions not only alarmed the whole family, but also alarmed relatives and friends.Everyone didn't distinguish between black and white on this matter, and speculated wildly.Thinking that Mrs. Jin wanted to burn the things of the concubine, it must not be as simple as to express a sigh of relief, there must be a reason for it, so this incident caused a lot of trouble in the city.
