Chapter 305 Can’t Laugh
Mo Chunxiang didn't expect that her parents, brothers, and clan members would all abandon her. She fainted in despair and fear, and was soon woken up by Xiong Kai.
In the next few days, Xiong Kai kept Mo Chunxiang at home and gave her a cold, rough-faced steamed bun every day. When he was in a bad mood, he would go in and give her a beating.
The nearby villagers heard Mo Chunxiang's screams.
Naturally, Mrs. Guan also received the news and went crazy with anxiety, "Old man, please think of a solution quickly. If this continues, our Chunxiang will definitely not survive!"
Mo Laotian was also anxious, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, "I'm already thinking about it, don't rush me anymore! The best way now is to ask Chunxiang's mother-in-law, and to find her grandson. After all, Chunxiang It’s his mother. The child can’t just watch his mother being beaten to death, right?”
"Yes! Xiong Kai said that his mother and children were sent away. Where can they be sent? His uncle's house? Liujiazhuang?" Guan became more and more sure as she thought about it, and urged Mo Laotian to leave for Liujiazhuang as soon as possible.
Mo Laotian immediately put on his heavy coat and braved the wind and snow to leave the village. There was some distance from them to Liujiazhuang. Mo Laotian's walk was really difficult. He finally found Niu Youfu's home. When people heard that he came to ask Niu, Shi and Xiong Feng picked up their brooms and blasted him out.
Mo Laotian was disappointed and unwilling to leave just like that, so he had to ask people near Niu Youfu to confirm that Niu and Xiong Feng were not there before going back dejectedly.
Since they were not in Liujiazhuang, they could not think of the second possibility. They could only stare at Xiong Kaijia in agony every day, fearing that Mo Chunxiang would suddenly be beaten to death one day.
In the middle of winter, when the villagers have nothing to do, they like to chat with each other. When they happen to go to a market or something, the whole family knows everything.
The news about Xiong Kai's violent beating of his wife also spread as quickly as possible.
When Su Chunlin and Han received the news, their first reaction was not to gloat, but to wonder if Shen Yi was coming back soon. After all, Xiong Kai was a cripple and had committed a crime and was exiled to the battlefield. It made no sense that he could come back alive. Shen Yi and the others can't come back.
Su Changxi's family, who had the same suspicion as the couple, also came to inquire about the situation, as well as Ye An's wife and children.
Su Chunlin muttered: "I think they will definitely be able to come back. The final list of those killed in battle has been sent some time ago. No news is good news. If you really can't wait, we can go to the county to ask, or go to the county and wait. It can be waited for.”
Su Changxi nodded in agreement, "This method is feasible. After all, it is idle in the winter. I will wait!"
"I'll go too!" Su Chunlin immediately agreed.
Su Chunsen said that he would also go there together so that he could take care of each other.
After the oxcart set off, Mrs. Han couldn't sit still and asked Su Ming to take her to Shenjiazhuang.
Su Tai was sitting with her four children in the side room with a charcoal stove, writing, reading and playing with gadgets. When she heard the sound of wooden stakes, she hurried out to open the door.
"Mom, A Ming? Come in quickly!"
Su Tai helped Su Ming place the bullock cart and took them to the wing.
As soon as the door opened, a burst of warm air rushed up. Han felt that her frozen body had softened a lot, but her teeth were still chattering and she couldn't speak fluently.
Su Tai got some hot brown sugar ginger tea, and the two of them drank a big bowl before they recovered.
Han couldn't wait to say: "Xiao Tai, Xiong Kai is back, Shen Yi should be home soon, your father and your uncle have gone to the county to wait for people, you should also hurry up and get ready, clean and tidy up the house. Pack up, take out all Shen Yi's things, and the twins, Shen Yi hasn't seen them yet!" Su Tai nodded hurriedly, "Mom, don't worry, I've prepared everything at home, just waiting for him to come back! , If the children were not too young, I would have wanted to go to the county seat and wait in person.”
"Don't make trouble anymore. I came here to wait for news and wait for Shen Yi to come back before I leave." Han said her plan.
Su Tai was a little surprised, "Mom, I didn't see you coming to stay with me for a few days even when Shen Yi was not at home."
Su Ming explained: "Because Mom heard about Xiong Kai's violent beating of Mo Chunxiang, and she was afraid that you would be in danger."
"Xiong Kai beat Mo Chunxiang violently?" Su Tai really didn't know about this.
Su Ming suddenly became interested and told all the gossip he had heard, "Xiong Kai captured Mo Chunxiang who was hiding in her parents' house and beat her half to death. I heard that the Mo family and the villagers of Ximen Village all rushed It has passed, but Mo Chunxiang has gone too far, and no one is willing to stand up for her. It is useless for her parents to beg everywhere. Now they can only watch their precious daughter being beaten every day. "
The more Su Tai listened, the more unreliable she felt, "A Ming, you believe this! It's not like you don't know how much the Mo family has, Mo Chunxiang! When Mo Chunxiang makes a fuss, her father can regret his marriage for her, how can he just watch her? Being beaten? Besides, Mo Chunxiang still has a son, Xiong Kai can’t do that!”
"Sister! Why are you so down-to-earth! The Xiong Kai now is no longer the Xiong Kai back then!" Su Ming stepped forward and said hastily: "I heard that he became crippled and disfigured, and his temper became gloomy and weird. , and what’s more! He sent his mother and son away in advance, and he didn’t even know where to send them. Now Mo Chunxiang is complaining every day, and the earth and the earth are not working well. What can they do if Mo Laotian and his wife are distressed? I don’t dare to fight against the current bear.”
Han said: "Mom is uneasy because she heard this. After all, Shen Yi is coming home soon. I won't leave until he comes back."
Su Tai's heart warmed up and she hurried to the kitchen to gather food.
Seeing that the adults were silent, the four children immediately surrounded Han and Su Ming, including their grandmother and uncle, coaxing them into confusion.
At the same time, Shen Yi and his party also arrived in Lizhou Fucheng.
They had already changed horses five times along the way, and they tried their best to get back at this time.
Everyone was eager to return home and had no intention of staying in Fucheng. They only stopped to buy some specialties and left.
Seeing the mottled city walls of Zhaohua County from a distance, Shen Dagou shouted excitedly: "We are finally back!"
"Hurry up! Let's compete to see who can enter the city first!" Su Sheng raised his whip and looked in high spirits.
Not to be outdone, the others threw up their reins and shouted for a sprint.
Su Chunlin and the others were squatting at the gate of the city. When they saw several carriages riding through the snow in the distance, they curled their lips and said, "You little bastards, you're still running like this on a snowy day, and you're not afraid of getting into trouble!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a carriage running into the ditch, and the carriages behind it were also disrupted.
Su Chunlin gloated, "What did I say? A bunch of bastards!"
Su Changxi rubbed his eyes vigorously, stared at them for a long time, and exclaimed: "No, that seems to be my Su Sheng! Take a look, am I dazzled?"
