Chapter 202 Hidden Beauty in the Golden House
The atmosphere in the store suddenly became silent with this sentence.
"Ha ha, this child, he is happy and stupid, talking nonsense!" Li Da smiled awkwardly and tried to break the deadlock.
"I didn't talk nonsense. Grandma said that my mother thought you were useless, so she ran away. Grandma also said..." Hu Zi pecked his neck and his nose was sour and red.
"Shut up!" Li Da looked like a tiger with plucked tail hair, and suddenly blew up its hair.
Lu Mengji was so scared that he pulled Huzi into his arms for fear that Li Da would be angry and beat the child. Huzi didn't know whether he was wronged or sad, and his tears fell down in a string.
"Uncle Li, let's talk slowly if we have something to say. Don't be angry. Besides, he is still a child. Don't be angry." You Ziqi deliberately eased the atmosphere, but obviously in this case, no matter what he says, it seems to be a little embarrassing.
Lu Mengji touched the tiger's head and suddenly remembered the person hidden behind the screen. He was rescued and emergency. He had to find a little back to set off the atmosphere. That person happened to have this temperament.
"Huzi, my sister has a good thing to give you. Go and look for it in the back," Lu Mengjie whispered to Huzi and pushed Huzi to the screen behind him.
You Ziqi's face suddenly turned white. He coughed repeatedly, picked up the teacup and pretended to drink water. As a result, he dropped the teacup on the ground.
"Ha ha, it's okay. I'll just clean it up." You Ziqi got up, sat down Li Da in place, and walked behind the screen with an unnatural smile. Huzi heard the sound of the teacup breaking and stopped at the corner of the screen, looking in the direction of Li Da.
"Huzi, where are you going?" You Ziqi stopped beside Huzi, and half of his face reached to the other side of the screen, and repeatedly turned Xiao Qian to wink at him, but the space behind the screen was already small. Even if Xiao Qian wanted to hide, there was no place to hide.
"My sister said there were good things behind this. Let me go and have a look." Hu Zi told the truth. After listening to it, You Ziqi looked at Lu Mengzhen speechlessly. What did she mean? It's not that she doesn't know that behind the screen is just an ultra-small single bed and some piecemeal small objects.
Xiao Qian looked at You Ziqi speechlessly and helplessly. Obviously, he had found himself. If he didn't go out again, it seemed that he had done something shamelessly...
After the screen, there was a sudden sound of pulling shoes. Soon a man with a slightly messy coat appeared in front of the crowd and was obviously stunned when he saw everyone's expressions, "Oh, it turns out that there are guests here, so I'll go back to sleep for a while..." After saying that, he stretched out long and yawned and turned back.
"Master Xiao, don't sleep. Beware of sleepy bugs." After saying that, Lu Mengji giggled and said, "Why are you so nervous about the shopkeeper? It turned out to be a golden house. Don't hide it. Pull it out and let us all have a look!"
You Ziqi threw a white eye to Lu Mengji, "This shabby house is almost enough to hide garbage!"
"Haha, it turns out that the shopkeeper has always treated Third Master Xiao as garbage. The shopkeeper, your eyes are so good!" Lu Mengji laughed, which made Li Da laugh together.
"Damn, you are rubbish. Your whole family is rubbish!" Xiao Qian couldn't help running out from behind the screen. He was originally a golden house. At least it was still useful, but as soon as he was told by You Ziqi, the taste of this sentence completely changed.
Xiao Qian shook his long skirt in red and scratched this You Ziqi with his slender fingers. "You white-eyed wolf, I saved you just now. If you knew that you would have closed the store early. If it hadn't been for me, those with knives would have rushed in long ago. If you didn't thank me, I would have said that I was rubbish. , such an ungrateful thing, I, I, want to break up with you!"
Originally, Xiao Qian's figure was excellent, and it is not too much to be called enchanting. Especially today, he wears a big red gown, which makes him more and more swaying. Especially when he crosses his waist and strokes the Youzi period with one hand, this charm is simply amazing! Lu Mengji, as a woman, couldn't help being secretly jealous.
"If you break up, you will break up. You think I'm afraid of you!" You Ziqi waved his hand and didn't even mean to retain him at all. This guy asked Lu Mengjie when he would come back every day, and he thought about how to play with Lu Mengji all day long. The key is that he still regarded himself as an ally and insisted on giving him advice. If it weren't for the sake of destroying his plan, You Ziqi would not want to be with this guy. ne.
Xiao Qian looked at You Ziqi silently, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell this woman what you said?"
You Ziqi was stunned. What he said was really inexplicable. He never seemed to mention Lu Mengji in front of him. What can he say?
But with this stunned kung fu, Xiao Qian's gloomy smile, this guy was actually not as shrewd as he looked, which scared him in one sentence.
Lu Mengji was close and heard Xiao Qian's words clearly. She patted the empty chair beside her and greeted Xiao Qian with a smile, "Master Xiao, it seems that you haven't woken up like that. I'm really sorry to disturb your rest, but since everyone has met, let's talk together. Let me introduce you. This is Uncle Li, my savior. It's terrible that someone would have held a knife on the street today. If it hadn't been for Uncle Li's rescue, I'm afraid I would have died long ago.
"Uncle Li, this is Third Master Xiao, the younger brother of the shopkeeper of Yunyifang opposite," Lu Mengji said, and Xiao Qian quietly glanced at her. If it hadn't been for his dog's status a little higher than him, he wouldn't have become the third master. He should have been the second master! The key is that after Lu Mengji knew about this matter, she called Xiao Qian evilly as Third Master Xiao every time, which made him extremely unhappy.
Xiao Qian warmly greeted Li Dali. That style was simply a typical modest man who was as gentle as jade, but only Lu Mengjie knew what a strange soul was hidden under this beautiful skin.
Obviously, Xiao Qian's appearance completely broke the unhappiness of just now, and Huzi sat quietly with a piece of cowhide candy.
Li Da hesitated for a moment and finally decided to talk about the topic introduced by the tiger.
In fact, Huzi's mother left when Huzi was only two years old. At that time, Li Da drank all day and did nothing. The family mainly relied on the tiger's mother to do some needlework to make a living. Later, with Huzi, Huzi Niang still did needlework all day. During the confinement, she stiffened her eyes and couldn't see anything clearly.
Since then, the family has cut off its financial resources. Li Da had no money to buy wine, so he tried to change the wine by himself. Until one day, he secretly took a jade wrench finger handed down by the tiger's ancestor to the pawnbro to exchange money.
Hu Zi Niang seemed to be crazy and insisted on redeeming Li Da's finger, but Li Da signed it, and the money had been spent. For them, it was more difficult to redeem it again than to ascend to the sky. From then on, Hu Zi Niang seemed to be a different person. She took Hu Zi to Niang. I lived at home for two months. Two months later, Li Da's brother-in-law sent Huzi back and forced Li Da to write and leave the book. Since then, Hu Zi Niang has never returned.
Huzi sat in his four-walled house and cried. Only then did Li Da understand what he had done. He began to look for work and was finally arranged to carry flour. The conditions at home have gradually improved, but when he wanted to pick up Hu Ziniang and go home again, Hu Ziniang had already remarried. The blow to him was tantamount to a thunderbolt. After that, he worked hard all day long. He was both a father and a mother, and finally pulled Huzi until now.
So whenever Huzi mentions his mother, he can't help but feel sad and angry...
After Li Da finished speaking, he looked at You Ziqi and asked weakly, "Shopkeeper, do you know that I am such a person? Are you still going to keep me in the store?"
You Ziqi blinked and turned his head to Lu Mengji.
"Are you still drinking now?" Lu Mengji praised Hu Ziniang's behavior in his heart. On the one hand, he felt sorry for Li Da. He did something wrong, but he had also been punished.
"Never drink again," Li Da replied without hesitation.
"Then will you gamble?"
"No gambling. Except for today, I wanted to taste the grapes for Huzi, so I threw it once.
"In this case, why should we dwell on the past? You are no longer the old Uncle Li. We believe in you." Lu Mengji nodded and turned his head to look at Huzi. Sometimes it was obviously just the parents' fault, but the final punishment would fall on the children. They could not get the due fatherly love and mother's love, and they had to bear the white eyes and prejudices given to them by the outside world from time to time.
Li Da turned his head and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. For the first time, when others knew the truth, he did not look at each other. Because of this, he wanted to work harder to become a better person.
"Uncle Li, we are all mortals. There are times when mortals make mistakes, but knowing mistakes can improve greatly. I don't think everyone can always do the right thing. No one is perfect, but if we can learn from mistakes and correct them, those mistakes will not prevent us from becoming a good person. Instead, it will become the driving force for us to move forward. What's more, you are no longer what you used to be. After so much experience, you have not been defeated by setbacks. You are the hero in our hearts. After Lu Mengji said emotionally, Li Da was suppressed for a long time and finally collapsed. He turned around and covered his eyes with his sleeves. A big man cried and shrugged like a child.
You Ziqi looked at her thoughtfully. He had too many words to say to her, but he was afraid that he would return to that cold period. He thought that the relationship between the two would be decided, but when he saw her smiling face, he still resisted those thoughts and chose to forget the unhappiness and start again.
After sending Li Da and his son away, Lu Mengzhi was stunned in the chair again. Xiao Qian looked left and right. He was extremely bored. Lu Mengzhen suddenly came to him and asked in a low voice, "Nir, what did you mean by that?"
