28. Chapter 28 See you
Author: Linglongxiu
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long.
As the New Year approached, there were more official affairs, and Shu Santie did not go home for several days.
At night, when Gao Xiaorui was going to bed, she said to her little daughter: "Is your father still asleep at this time?"
"I didn't sleep. I didn't even sleep. Dad must not have slept."
Gao Xiaorui listened to her words and said with a smile: "You are so far away, you know everything?"
"I know. Dad said that he loves me the most, and I am the closest to him. I don't want to sleep right now, and dad must be thinking about me."
After listening to Shu Ling's words, Gao Xiaorui thought to herself that she didn't blame Shu Jing for competing with Shu Ling for favor in front of Shu Santie from time to time.
When she heard Shu Ling's words, she felt a little jealous of their close relationship as father and daughter.
"Ling'er, you can tell your mother the secret about you and your father, but don't tell it to your fifth sister."
"The fifth sister asked me, and I told her that my father loved me the most, and she was about to cry.
The second sister said she was petty, and said that my father was also the closest to the fifth sister. I don’t care about arguing with the fifth sister. Anyway, my father loves me the most."
Gao Xiaorui only felt that her daughters' life was too good and they had no time to care about these things.
She will go to the embroidery shop tomorrow. Shu Jing can now do some simple handiwork.
Shu Ling didn't know that she was blowing the pillow wind. She was very happy to tell Gao Xiaorui what she had seen this day.
The Shu family was not surprised that the old man of the Shu family was happy with Shu Ling. They were only surprised that he took Shu Ling out to meet friends for many days in a row.
Years ago, a tragedy occurred in a town adjacent to Shuangjing Town.
The head of the village took people from house to house to check if there were any outsiders, and repeatedly told each house not to receive strangers.
The old man of the Shu family stayed at home for several days, until the old man of the Liu family stood at the door of the courtyard and said to him: "Anyone who does unrighteousness will be punished by death.
I heard someone say that the elders of that family were unkind and mistreated the eldest son and his wife. The eldest son had a new love outside the home and insisted on divorcing his wife regardless of their feelings for each other. As a result, his own son was killed.
The eldest son's daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's family disliked her incompetence and her son was gone. They took the opportunity to poison her while cooking, and the entire family was deprived of the medicine.
The person who is being investigated now is the poison seller. That person heard the news about the massacre, and the master and apprentice escaped overnight, only causing trouble to the landlord who rented the house.
The government has invited him several times, but he really doesn't know anything."
After hearing this, the old man of the Shu family took a breath: "People who have no way out are somewhat bloody, so they can only do desperate things."
The old man of the Liu family looked at him curiously: "Your third son has not been at home these days, and you don't know about this?"
"Neither the eldest nor the second child in my family like to inquire about information, and the third child doesn't have time to listen to what everyone has to say."
"Yes, your sons are pure and pure, while my sons are all common people."
"Bah, your son is pure and clean. My son is an upright man. He has to be busy with his own affairs every day. Naturally, he doesn't know what's going on outside."
The old man of the Shu family had been bored here for several days, and he happened to go for a walk under the old banyan tree with the old man of the Liu family.
When they arrived under the old banyan tree, many people were already talking. When they saw the old man of the Shu family and the old man of the Liu family, they shared some of the news they had heard.
In the evening, everyone in Shuangjing Town, except for the younger children who were ignorant, had already heard about the tragedy in the next town.
At night, everyone did not dare to talk about such gossip, and waited until the next day, when it was dark, for the old man of the Shu family to exchange the news they heard with Mr. Yang.
I found that the ending was the same, but the process was different.
The news that the old man of the Shu family heard was very plain and without any interest.
The news that Yang learned was very tortuous, but the result was very satisfying.
The eldest son killed the whole family for Xin Huan, and it turned out that Xin Huan had a rich lover besides him, and Xin Huan became pregnant with that lover's child.
The rules in the lover's home were strict, and he only wanted to have fun with his new love for a few nights, and never thought about anything lasting.
When he heard that Xinhuan had a child, he said at that time that if it was his child and a woman aborted it, he would not acknowledge the child.
Xin Huan couldn't let go of the child in her belly, so for the sake of her child, she had no choice but to force the eldest son to divorce his wife.
When the old man of the Shu family heard the news from the Yang family, he couldn't believe it and said, "This man ended up wiping out his family's roots for the sake of other people's children?"
"Yes. They said that the investigating officer was careful and only then did he find out what was going on here."
The wind blew over, and the couple shrank their necks at the same time, and then stopped mentioning the matter.
When the old man of the Shu family took Shu Ling out, Mrs. Yang greeted: "Come home for lunch, don't eat at other people's houses."
The old man of the Shu family responded casually. After leaving the courtyard, he smiled and said to his granddaughter: "Your grandmother always thinks of some good things for us. The house we went to today has two meals a day in winter."
"Oh, Grandpa, are they too lazy to get up in the morning? Hehe, if my mother lets me sleep, I don't have to eat in the morning."
"Other people are not lazy, they want to go to bed early every day, but...
What should I explain to you, a child? As long as you obey me, I will take you out again."
"Grandpa, Ling'er is very well-behaved. Mom said I am well-behaved, and dad will be back soon. I have been well-behaved for a long time, when will dad be back?"
"Your father will be busy for a few more days, and he will come back. Your fourth brother will come back too."
On this day, the grandparents went out in the morning and went home for lunch at noon. In the afternoon, after taking a nap, the grandparents went out for a while.
In the evening, Mrs. Yang and the old man of the Shu family smiled and said, "In the past few years, Linger can be by your side. When she grows up, our great-grandson can be by your side again."
"If the third child doesn't come home tomorrow, I'll go to the city the day after tomorrow and bring him some clothes."
"Okay. The third child sent a message home last time, saying that he would be busy for a while, so he would come back to rest for a few days."
In the evening of the next day, Shu Santie did not go home, nor did he ask anyone to spread the news.
In the evening, the old man of the Shu family told his family that he was going to the city.
"Dad, if the weather is so cold, please don't go into the city." Brother Shu Dati said with a look of disapproval on his face.
The old man of the Shu family understood their filial piety, but he still decided to go to the city.
"My health is fine now. As long as it doesn't snow tomorrow, I will go to the city in the morning."
After brother Shu Dati exchanged glances, Shu Dati said: "Dad, you are going to the city one day later. I will go to the shop tomorrow and tell the shopkeeper that I will accompany you to the city the day after tomorrow."
"No need. I still have two or three old friends in the city. I want to see them tomorrow."
