"I'm afraid our old girl won't be able to come tonight." The wind was strong at the door of the house, so Old Yangtou returned to the house without standing for too long.
After closing the door of the east room, Old Yang told Mr. Tan.
"What are you talking about? How can a daughter not come over to pay New Year's greetings to her parents?" Ms. Tan immediately refuted Old Yangtou.
But Lao Yangtou said: "I'm not saying that she won't come to pay us New Year's greetings. She will definitely come to pay us New Year's greetings, but not on New Year's Eve tonight, but most likely in the first month of the year!"
Tan's explanation to Old Yangtou became more and more unacceptable: "It's not like I married in another village. When I went out for a walk on New Year's Eve, I went back to my parents' house to pay New Year greetings. Why did I have to wait until the first lunar month? That's not taking off my pants and farting. Well!"
Old Yang shook his head and continued: "Do you remember the last time you talked to our old daughter?"
Tan thought for a while, and suddenly his expression changed several times.
Surprised and questioning eyes turned to Old Yangtou again.
But Old Yang nodded deeply, stroking his gray beard with his old fingers, and mused: "If I remember correctly, the last time we met the old girl was more than half a month ago, in the fourth room. After picking up my daughter-in-law, Meier came over to give gifts and have wedding wine, and came to sit in our room for a while."
"Mei'er has never been back to her parents' home since then. Even the New Year's gift was sent to Xiao Hei before the New Year, and Xiao Hei left without even taking a sip of the tea."
Mrs. Tan listened to Old Yangtou's analysis in her ears, and recalled the scenes that happened in the twelfth lunar month frame by frame in her mind. Then, she slapped her thigh violently, "Old man, it's scary to think about it. This is wrong, very wrong!”
Mrs. Tan lifted the quilt, got off the bed, and went to grab her shoes and put them on her feet.
Because I was in such a hurry, my shoes were turned upside down on my left and right feet.
Seeing this, the old man stepped forward to stop her, "Where are you going with your shoes on this late at night?"
Tan took a look at Old Yang's head and said, "Where else can we go? Go to Old Wang's house to find Mei'er. I'm worried about her. I'm afraid she might be unhappy somewhere!"
Old Yangtou stopped Tan with force again: "Don't go, there is nothing wrong with her, she is fine!"
"If she is good, then why doesn't she come to see us?"
"If she doesn't come, it's probably because of Yongxian's affairs!"
Tan, who was struggling in Lao Yangtou's arms, shook violently, then raised his head and looked at Lao Yangtou in surprise.
Old Yang also looked down at Mrs. Tan.
Neither the old couple asked or elaborated in detail, but as they looked at each other, they had already completed a spiritual communication with each other.
After a long while, Mrs. Tan let go of Lao Yangtou's arm and sat back on the bed dejectedly.
Holding the edge of the bed with both hands, besides sighing, she still sighed.
The things Yongxian did were completely unconscionable, and everyone had already deserted him.
So now that Yongxian has been imprisoned, everyone in the family, except for the two elders and the Jin family, in the eyes of everyone else, Yongxian deserves to die.
"If he were not my grandson, the one I had grown up with, but someone else's family, I would definitely applaud him and say he deserved to die!"
After a long time, a tear fell from Tan's eyes.
Tan whispered in a hoarse voice.
"But he is my biological grandson. Even if he wants to kill me, I can't bear to blame him. That's the reason!"
Lao Yang also sat down next to Tan's side, raised his hand and patted Tan's shoulder gently.
"The first person Yongxian captured was Dabai. Dabai was almost killed by Yongxian."
"Mei'er hates Yongxian so much that she gnashes her teeth. This is inevitable."
"And we always feel a little bit unable to let go of Yongxian, which is inevitable."
"So Mei'er avoids us and doesn't want to come and visit us. It's not that Mei'er has no filial piety towards us, but that Mei'er doesn't know how to face us. After all, one of us is the one who kills, and the other is the one who forgives. It's a contradiction, a conflict. !”
There is no doubt about Tan's explanation to Old Yangtou. The truth may be as analyzed by the old man.
"However, the third and fourth children, as well as Yongzhi himself, are all clamoring that they want to chop Yongxian into pieces, but they are still wandering around in front of us as if they are nothing. Why is this?"
Tan's question immediately hit Old Yangtou.
Old Yangtou smiled bitterly, "If you want to say that, what about Girl Qing? It was Girl Qing who captured Yongxian twice. Especially the second time, when Yongxian escaped from prison, it was Girl Qing and Tang Yazi who captured and sent him to prison together. Back to prison!"
"In fact, Girl Qing hid the early execution from us and secretly put pressure on the county magistrate. I actually know everything!"
At the mention of this, Mrs. Tan spat on the ground.
"Don't mention that damn fat girl, she is the most heartless!"
Old Yangtou shook his head, "I can only say that Qing girl hates evil as much as she hates her. She has a clear distinction between right and wrong, and even kills relatives for justice!"
If they didn't have that ruthlessness, it would be impossible for the couple to get along so well!
The great general who protects the country uses his power to pave the way for Qing Yatou's business.
And Qing Yatou made a lot of money from her business and gave back to Luo Fengtang's army.
They complemented each other, and the couple raised outstanding sons like Dazhi and Chen'er.
Especially Chen'er, she is even better than her master!
"Mei'er, I probably don't know what to say if we are face to face, so I won't come here for the time being." The old man said again.
"That's all, come here with everyone in the first month of the year, it's all the same."
However, Lao Yangtou and Tan planned to sit there for a while. If Tan couldn't bear it, he would wash up and go to bed first.
But Lao Yangtou had to sit on the ground until the door opened in the early morning to watch the New Year's Eve.
"I'm going to wander around the entrance of the village first, and I'll be back before the gate opens in the early morning. If you can't bear it anymore, go to bed first. Just keep me company, don't worry."
Before leaving, Old Yangtou did not forget to give Tan some advice.
Tan nodded.
After Lao Yangtou left, Mrs. Tan sat back on the bed. Although several candles were lit in the room, which illuminated the room very brightly, Mrs. Tan's eyelids kept twitching inexplicably as she sat.
With every twitch of her eyelids, Tan became more and more panicked.
"What's wrong with me? I'm going to get sick?"
Mrs. Tan raised her hand to pat her heart, but she felt more and more chest tightness, panic and shortness of breath, and cold sweat broke out from her forehead.
Moreover, my mouth was extremely dry, and there was no saliva left.
She wanted to get out of bed and pour herself a bowl of tea, but as soon as she sat up, the world began to spin and her vision went dark.
She opened her mouth to call someone to help her. She opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out, and her vision became darker and darker.
At this moment, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
It seemed like someone rushed to his bedside.
However, Ms. Tan couldn't see who it was because her eyes were black and she fainted!
