Unexpectedly, the next moment, Liu Yingying suddenly sat up from the bed, and then suddenly threw herself into Wu's arms, hugged her tightly, said with red eyes and a sour nose: "Mom, Ying'er misses you——"
It turned out that all this was not a dream.
Mrs. Wu is back.
Her mother is back.
Chapter 139
Seeing her daughter being so intimate with her, Mrs. Wu felt happy and soft-hearted at first. She had always felt guilty for her eldest daughter Yingying. After the reunion, she wished she could make up for all the love she had lost over the years. She did not expect that less than a year after their reunion, she would not even be able to return home, but would travel thousands of miles away, secretly leaving her behind and sending her to an unfamiliar place to live a life of dependence.
I thought I would blame myself, but unexpectedly, I didn't at all and still relied on her so much.
After being happy, I felt a little bit uncontrollable. I just felt like I was back when I was a child, and the little Yingying was always so attached to her.
However, as the Jiao Jiao Er hugged her tighter and tighter, the feeling of dependence became stronger and stronger. There seemed to be a rare sense of vulnerability in the dependence. While she was happy, the next moment, she felt a sensitivity that belonged exclusively to the mother. The feeling quietly emerged.
I saw the smile on Mrs. Wu's face gradually disappearing, and her heart couldn't help but thump.
The next moment, Mrs. Wu carefully grasped Liu Yingying's shoulders, pulled her away from her arms, then held Liu Yingying's face, observed and stared at her carefully and said: "What's wrong, Nannan? Did something happen? Are you unhappy in the Shen family? Are you being bullied? Huh? "
Wu held her breath and asked three questions in succession, questioning nervously and anxiously.
She asked, how could my daughter drink alcohol for no reason? She knew that her daughter had a habit of staying in bed and falling asleep. The doctor said that it was probably due to taking the Heart-Eating Pills, which caused some damage to her body, such as lethargy and fear of heat. However, she had never heard of her being addicted to alcohol. Get used to it.
Although they didn't get along for too long after the reunion, Mrs. Wu knew that her eldest daughter was well-informed, kind-hearted, sensible and steady, and was not a weak person.
This is the first time I have seen my eldest daughter so fragile.
Suddenly, I felt anxious, but I didn't dare to expose it too much. I just cautiously asked, "If you encounter something, you must tell me. Don't hide it from me."
As he spoke, his eyes were red, and he said with some guilt and regret: "Mother shouldn't have left you here alone. It's not my fault, it's all my fault. If you are wronged or bullied, you must do it." Tell me, even if I am a weak girl, if anyone dares to bully my son, I will risk my life for my son!"
Wu gritted her teeth and as she spoke, a strong aura appeared on her weak face.
When Liu Yingying heard this, the tip of her nose suddenly became slightly sour, her heart felt slightly warm, and a warm current seemed to be poured into her body.
She has never been a weak person, but for some reason, when she saw Wu's sudden appearance, her strong and hard heart broke through in an instant.
He immediately raised his hand and gently wiped away the moisture at the end of his eyes. Not long after, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Are you going to fight like this?"
As he spoke, he exhaled slightly, then threw himself into Wu's arms again, hugged Wu gently, buried his face in Wu's arms, and said with rare attachment and intimacy: "My daughter is fine, just say goodbye. Over the past few months, I have missed you a little, and Yaoyao."
As she said that, she remembered something. Liu Yingying turned over in Wu's arms, raised her hand and pinched Liu Yaoyao's chubby face, and said, "I just dreamed about you and Yaoyao. I dreamed that we were together." Picking apricots, when I opened my eyes and saw you, I thought I was dreaming."
Liu Yingying leaned in Wu's arms and rubbed Liu Yaoyao's head. She paused, raised her lips towards Liu Yaoyao and asked, "Does Yaoyao miss eldest sister?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yaoyao immediately rushed over, hugged the two of them, and immediately replied: "I miss the eldest sister, Yaoyao also misses the eldest sister, Yaoyao wants to pick the eldest sister with the eldest sister. Xingzi, let’s flutter butterflies together and build a snowman together.”
As he spoke, he threw himself firmly into Liu Yingying's arms, hugged her waist tightly and said, "Sister, why don't you go to Shandong with us? Without you, I would have almost suffocated to death on the boat ride all the way, eldest sister." , don’t leave Yaoyao alone again, I want to play with big sister all the time."
Liu Yaoyao was afraid that Liu Yingying would disappear as soon as she turned around like last time, so she immediately hugged her tightly, hugged her, and suddenly took a big breath in Liu Yingying's arms and shouted: "Hello, big sister. It smells good, my eldest sister smells good and is soft, even more fragrant and softer than my mother..."
After saying that, he immediately rubbed himself into Liu Yingying's arms.
The words instantly caused Liu Yingying's face to heat up slightly, and she just kept rubbing Liu Yaoyao's chubby face. Liu Yaoyao squealed, hugged Liu Yingying, kissed and nibbled her intimately.
Seeing her two daughters making a fuss in her arms, Wu's heart suddenly felt extremely soft. She only felt unprecedented happiness. After being separated for three or four months, her heart was filled with tears. There were so many things to say and questions to ask, but seeing that his daughter had just woken up, he temporarily endured all the words and hurriedly asked her to eat something to cushion her stomach.
"I'm here to feed the big sister, I want to feed the big sister myself..."
Unexpectedly, when Liu Yaoyao saw this, she had to snatch the sobering soup away and feed it to Liu Yingying herself.
Liu Yingying got used to her, and sat obediently on the bedside, letting Liu Yaoyao, a clever little girl, show her hospitality in front of her. She stroked Liu Yaoyao's head while eating, and then looked at Mrs. Wu and asked when she had the opportunity: "Mother , when did you arrive? Why didn't you send a letter in advance so that I could pick you up at the pier."
Then he said: "How are you, grandma, and my uncle's family? It must be hard work for us to travel all the time."
While talking, Mrs. Wu was seen sitting by the bed, holding Liu Yingying's hand, putting a handkerchief on Liu Yingying's hand, and then took off an old-fashioned red gold and ruby phoenix bracelet on her hand, and said: Said: "We just arrived not long ago. In fact, we arrived in the middle of the night yesterday. I was afraid of disturbing the Shen family, so I waited until dawn before arriving. My mother guessed that although my daughter liked to sleep in, it was time to get up at this time, but unexpectedly, He even indulged in eating and drinking."
Mrs. Wu teased Liu Yingying slightly, and then said: "I originally planned to return last month, but your grandma was not in good health and fell ill for a while, so she stayed here to take care of her for another month. Your grandma I’m afraid it won’t last two years, and it will happen either this year or next year.”
Wu said quietly, and when she said this, she was only a little sad and emotional.
Seeing Liu Yingying's shock, Wu immediately pressed her back and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, people are bound to have such a journey when they get old. No one can escape it."
As she said that, Mrs. Wu looked at Liu Yingying and said, "I just feel a little regretful. Mom should have taken you to see your grandma. Your grandma has been thinking about you all these years. This bracelet was her dowry back then, and she has always cherished it." I thought very much that I would keep it until you get married so that I could put it on your hand, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to wait until you got married, so I kept asking me to bring it back to you.”
After saying that, he put the bracelet firmly on Liu Yingying's wrist.
Liu Yingying looked at the ruby phoenix bracelet in her hand. She saw that it was an old item. It was very luxurious and rich. The rubies on the bracelet were as big as the top of her thumb. She felt a little complicated and moved for a moment.
She has no memory of her grandmother. However, during those years when she was sold, the only thing she wore, the golden gourd, was given by her grandmother. Although she has no memory of it, she still has deep feelings for that person in her heart. There is an inexplicable sense of intimacy with the old man, maybe it's because of blood ties.
Liu Yingying held the phoenix bracelet tightly for a moment.
Seeing Mrs. Wu sighing again, she continued: "Your grandmother has always been concerned about your important affairs. She has never stopped in Shandong and has been helping you to pay attention. She originally wanted to marry you to Meng Ge'er. , but that little boy is so out of tune. The longer he grows, the more crooked he is. He is probably going to die. Your grandma is heartbroken and powerless. This time I go back to visit relatives, and your aunt has been encouraging him to do it. You married back to the Wu family, but your grandma vetoed it. Your grandma said that you have suffered too much these years and must not marry into the Wu family again and suffer, so she has been running around to see each other for the past two months. Said, the truth came to a family——"
Mrs. Wu is a person who can't hide things in her heart. She originally wanted to find out the news about her daughter in the Shen family after settling down, and then talk to her daughter about the things in Shandong. , as a result, Xu saw that her daughter was in a different mood, so she opened her mouth and couldn't help but say it all, and said: "We are on the same street as the Wu family. That man is eighteen years old, and he is three or two years older than you. When I was 20 years old, my name was Brother Quan. He was born with a good-looking and powerful appearance. When you were young, you played together. Maybe you can’t remember. The golden gourd you wear around your neck is from your appearance. Grandma went to the temple with her grandmother to pray for it, and he was wearing the same one. That boy actually remembered you. When he saw me this time, he blushed and said with embarrassment, She said she still remembers a sister named Ying'er, who said she would lie on the ground and let you ride a big horse when she was little."
Wu said happily, obviously satisfied with Brother Quan, but then he changed his tone and said: "Just like your uncle, the family are all born as warriors, so they are not so particular. His father and your uncle He is a colleague, and his family is quite simple. He also has a younger sister, who is two years older than Yaoyao. There are no unruly relationships in the family. The most unusual thing is that his father does not even have a concubine. In this life, He is only guarding his mother, and the family tradition is surprisingly upright. Even though his appearance and behavior are not bad, compared to my son, he is still a little inferior."
Wu said quietly.
She originally thought that meeting and marrying would be a matter of course, but if she really looked carefully, Wu felt that there were very few people in the world who were worthy of her daughter, so she just felt that she owed her a little. , that one is missing again.
However, he was obviously very satisfied with this family, especially in terms of the family style. Just when he was about to go into details, someone from Shou'an Hall came to invite him. Mrs. Shen specially invited Wu to come over and get together.
Chapter 140
"The days that Ying'er has been in your house are really disturbing. Although this child has been sensible and well-behaved since she was a child, she has never lived outside since she was a child, and she is weak. I am really afraid that she will cause big trouble to the Shen family. ”
"That's right, girl Ying is sensible and smart, and can act appropriately. You teach her very well. You can recruit many more people than the girls in our house. I like her very much. Such a girl will be with you all her life. Living in our house, I am also happy to see the success."
In Shouan Hall, Mrs. Shen is sitting high in the hall, Mrs. Wu is sitting on the guest seat on the left, and Liu Yingying is sitting below. Liu Yaoyao is young and has never sat down, so she is standing next to Liu Yingying. Liu Yingying held her hand, and the two sisters were so intimate.
As soon as Fang sat down, he saw Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Shen chatting politely, talking about what they had seen in Shandong. Mrs. Wu waited for her mother to say hello to Mrs. Shen, and after chatting for a long time, the topic turned back to Liu Yingying.
Mrs. Shen's words made Mrs. Wu a little flattered. She smiled and said: "The old lady is really ridiculous. How can we, a wild girl from a rural background, dare to compare with the rich daughters of the family?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Young girl is worthy of any praise."
Having said this, I raised my eyes and looked down for a moment, and saw a teenage girl, as young as a flower. She was dressed very elegantly today. Even if she didn't apply makeup or wear gorgeous hairpins, she still looked very elegant. The radiant energy that is completely natural and ready to come out can overcome any pink and white.
Glancing at Liu Yingying's face, she saw Mrs. Shen pondering for a moment, then changed her words and said: "There are too many things going on in the house recently. Something happened to the Shen family before, and then they were doing funerals, and they still kept I never thought about falling in love with this girl."
As he said that, there was a hint of guilt on the strong old face, and he looked at Liu Yingying and said, "It's because our Shen family didn't take good care of her, and that's why this girl suffered."
As he said that, he continued to express concern to Liu Yingying: "Girl Ying, are you feeling well lately? Are you eating well and sleeping well? Were you frightened when you fell asleep at night? If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, Just keep quiet, don't hide it and endure it, you know? If you do anything good, I really don't have the face to see your mother. "
Mrs. Shen had a guilty look on her face, and her face seemed to be full of apologies.
Mrs. Wu was confused by what Mrs. Shen said, and a puzzled look moved back and forth between the old lady's face and Liu Yingying's face. Then Mrs. Shen was a little surprised and said: "Sister Xian, actually Don’t know yet?”
Seeing Mrs. Wu's confused look, Mrs. Shen sighed and said with a look of shame, "It turns out that the Shen family didn't protect her well enough, and almost caused the Ying Yatou to suffer along with our Shen family."
With a solemn and brief look on his face, he told Mrs. Wu the story of the robbery, murder and attack on the Hanshan Temple a month ago by the Shen family. Although it was not too detailed, it was not hidden, and he told it in a few words. Liu Yingying accidentally fell off a cliff and even stayed under the cliff for several days. She was rescued from the cliff and then rested in a temple for more than ten days. She told them one by one. Of course, she disappeared. The scene of the eldest grandson Shen Lang accompanying him.
After saying that, he just sighed and said: "Fortunately, this little girl is lucky and has a good life. She only suffered some flesh injuries, which are not serious. Otherwise, I really can't explain it to you or your mother, old lady." .”
Although Mrs. Shen could only speak a few words, she heard Wu trembling, her heart tightening, almost jumping out of her throat, and her face suddenly turned around in panic and fear. Turning around, he grabbed Liu Yingying's hand tightly and looked around. His eyes turned red immediately and he said anxiously: "You kid, why didn't you tell your mother when something like this happened? You are going to scare your mother to death!"
Wu was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat behind her back.
She was already ashamed of her eldest daughter and her lack of care for her daughter, which was why her daughter was lost. After being lost for several years, she ended up in such a situation that it almost harmed her for the rest of her life. She felt so guilty that now she was I heard that she almost fell off a cliff and was thrown to pieces. How could she not be frightened by Wu?
Immediately, Mrs. Wu ignored any etiquette and hurriedly took Liu Yingying's hand, pinched her arms and shoulders, wishing she could tear her whole body to pieces on the spot. After careful inspection, he could feel at ease. His face was full of panic and he said: "Do you really think it's a cliff? Did you really break your arms and legs? How is it possible to fall from such a high place?" How could you be unscathed, Ying'er, don't scare me, don't hide it from me, tell me quickly, how did you survive those days under the cliff? Ah? Do you really think it's okay? , Mom, look at it, come and show it to Mom?"
Wu's face was so flustered that she was speechless.
Although she lacked some etiquette, she could still see Mrs. Shen's facial expressions moving in the distance.
Thinking back to when Ya'er disappeared, she was also panicked on the spot.
Thinking of her granddaughter Ya'er, she saw Mrs. Shen looking at the mother and daughter. Her eyes returned to Liu Yingying's face again, and she said: "The incident happened so suddenly that day. The Shen family was in chaos. In addition, It happened that the daughter-in-law of the fifth house passed away not long after, and the family started to arrange the funeral in a hurry. It took these two days to calm down, and I still didn't have time to learn more about the situation from Ying Yatou. Regarding the specific matters of that day, by the way, those who fell off the cliff that day were not only Ying Yatou but also Brother Qian. Ying Yatou, I heard that you were rescued together with Brother Qian, What exactly happened in those days? Come and tell me in detail!"
As Mrs. Shen spoke, her old eyes stared intently at Liu Yingying.
As soon as Mrs. Shen said these words, she dropped another thunderbolt especially on a sunny day.
What?
Title brother?
In other words, it was not just Ying'er who fell off the cliff that day, but also another person, a man. A man and a woman lived together under the cliff for a few days -
Wu's mind was buzzing for a moment, and she was suddenly confused. After all, this was related to her daughter's reputation and her daughter's life. When she pulled Liu Yingying nervously and was about to cross-examine her, she Seeing Liu Yingying, she immediately patted the back of Wu's hand, smiled and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, mother, it's been almost a month since this happened, and my daughter is fine. Really, if you don't believe me, just look at it."
While speaking, Liu Yingying slowly stood up, lifted up her skirt, turned around in front of Mrs. Wu, and said, "It's really okay."
After a pause, he added: "Speaking of it, I was lucky that day. When I fell off the cliff, I was blocked by a big tree. I only had some skin and flesh bruises and sprained my feet. Other than that, I was lucky. Other than that, I was really unscathed. Ying'er couldn't believe it at the time. Now every time I think about it, I feel like I was in a dream. However, this is the fact. I did get lucky. , as for the eldest young master——"
Speaking of this, Liu Yingying slowly raised her eyes and met Mrs. Shen's gaze. Liu Yingying slightly curled her lips, looked back at Mrs. Shen steadily, and said word by word: "Although it is from a The place where he fell, but the difference in the position of the fall was only a few centimeters and thousands of miles away. I don’t know where the eldest son is, whether he is dead or alive. I am hiding alone in a cave. On the 34th, that day, when I was about to faint from hunger, I was discovered by Wu Huwei, the bodyguard around the eldest son, who rescued me. It was also at the moment of rescue that I discovered that the eldest son had also just been rescued. .”
Liu Yingying met Mrs. Shen's gaze and spoke word by word.
As she spoke, her waist was not slanted, her clothes were straight, her posture was straight, and her eyes were not evasive. The two of them stared at each other. After a while, Liu Yingying slowly bowed to Mrs. Shen, Said: "If the Shen family hadn't been persistent and sent people to continuously search and never give up, Ying'er's life would have been buried in the cliff long ago. Ying'er would have been too late to be grateful to the Shen family, so how could she express her anger and blame? The truth.”
Liu Yingying gave Shiran a salute, which was regarded as a thank you to the Shen family for their life-saving grace.
Mrs. Shen's sharp and capable eyes fell firmly on the door in front of Liu Yingying, with a hint of surprise in her old eyes.
She thought that this girl would take advantage of this God-given opportunity to completely cling to the Shen family. After all, not everyone could cling to the lintel of the big house, especially the lintel of the eldest grandson Shen Lang's backyard.
Everyone from the Liu family and his entourage came to the Shen family with a tacit understanding of what their plan was. Unexpectedly—
Although he was surprised, he was slightly applauded and satisfied.
After all, Brother Qian is different from others. If it had been any other person, Mrs. Shen would have turned a blind eye a little longer. Ya'er's lifelong happiness lies within it, and Mrs. Shen has to protect her, and no one else can interfere.
When the two looked at each other, others may not know what they meant, but Mrs. Shen and Liu Yingying clearly understood each other tacitly.
Sure enough, the next moment, the fierce look in Mrs. Shen's eyes disappeared, replaced by genuine kindness. For a moment, a kind smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Mrs. Wu and said: "Look, look at this smart and lovable look, not to mention being well-received by others. As soon as these words came out of her little mouth, the Shen family became her savior."
Mrs. Shen sighed with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, she got up in person, helped Liu Yingying up, and said: "Get up quickly, get up quickly, you child, if you want more This will make me, old lady, embarrassed."
As he spoke, he held Liu Yingying's hand tightly for a while. The vigilance and speculation in his eyes finally completely dissipated, replaced by a faint nod and satisfaction.
Just as she was holding Liu Yingying's hand to say a few more words of comfort, she suddenly heard a sigh from outside. There seemed to be a trace of helplessness in the voice, saying: "Madam, this child has been silent for the past few days. He refused to eat well and has lost a lot of weight. Anyway, my son has exhausted all his options and there is really nothing he can do. I leave it to you. Come and coax your precious grandson."
