Enemies in the Red Chamber

When Mrs. Cheng heard the news that her grandson was still alive and seemed to be promising, she almost burst into tears of joy, trembling and chanting "Amitabha Bodhisattva, bless my son, my son has not cut off his roots."

In the eyes of people like Mrs. Cheng, setting up a daughter-in-law household and recruiting a son-in-law is not a real lineage at all. Only when there are sons and grandchildren are born again, it counts. If you die, you will starve and suffer from cold because you have no descendants to provide food for you, and you will be punished by your ancestors and Hades for breaking the roots of your husband's family.

Seeing Old Madam Cheng's appearance, Wu Lin knew her attitude, and pretended not to notice, she smiled and handed a letter she had prepared to Old Madam Cheng, "I'm stupid, and I can't explain it clearly. The letter sent by my sister should be written in more detail, my aunt will take a look, if you can find it, it will be a merit."

Mrs. Cheng took the letter with trembling hands, read it three or four times from beginning to end, and then said with tears: "It's not someone else, it's your miserable nephew and niece... woo woo..."

Wu Lin pretended to be taken aback, "How could it be? How did you become a nephew and niece? The day I came here, I knew that my cousin had only three girls under his knees. Why suddenly... this is not right, if it is really my cousin's flesh and blood How did you arrive in Suzhou at such a young age? Luckily, sister Gu happened to meet her in time, and this gave them a chance to survive. Look at what the letter said, the girl was disfigured when she rescued them, boy Also skinny and half-dead.”

The old lady Cheng sighed, half-closed her eyes and said: "That's right, you read clearly in the letter. Didn't you ask the wife of the adult who is in charge of selling salt? I heard that the salt administration is only in Yangzhou? That's it. Your mother who inquired, when they were young, I said that there was a younger sister in Suzhou who was the wife of an adult family who was in charge of selling salt. Whoever knew it would remember it. Unfortunately, I found the wrong place. Otherwise, it would be useless now. I got the news. Hey! This is also destiny."

Then he said: "This is considered an ugly family of our Cheng family, and I am not afraid to tell you about it now. My son's original partner is not Sun, but someone else. It is a pity that the first daughter-in-law was so poor that she gave up her relatives." Gone, leaving two children behind. She and your cousin named Cheng Hui together. You also know Sun's temperament, but these two children got lost by accident. How can you be so young? Think about it, how can we expect to be alive. It is also my fault. I actually sent the death news according to Sun's words, and turned my good grandchildren into dead people. Woo ...Fortunately, heaven has eyes..."

Wu Lin sneered in her heart, what she said was really sweet, she had done so many unconscionable things and summed it up in four words, if she didn't know, she would really think it was all Sun's fault.

Wu Lin pretended to be sobbing, "It's a pity that my own flesh and blood didn't get to see my biological father for the last time. Sister Gu wrote in a letter that Sister Hui and Brother Quan had already got up and came here. Auntie will wait for you." Let them come, when the time comes, we will really know whether it is the child of the family." Then he worried: "Just one thing, if the child comes back, will he have to recognize his ancestors and return to his family? It stands to reason that Brother Quan is The only male is still the eldest son, the best candidate for heir. But, after all, everyone in Fei County knows that the eldest daughter and eldest son of the family died of illness many years ago, and this suddenly popped up..."

The old lady Cheng said bitterly: "If it weren't for Mrs. Sun, there would be no trouble today. No matter what, my grandson must be recognized. At worst, I will tell what happened back then, and I will try my best to make people in Guangdong laugh." To justify my grandson's name!" Wu Lin was speechless.

After sending the old lady Cheng away, Wu Lin sneered again and again, and couldn't help but said to the mother beside her: "Do you hear me? It's all on the stepmother's head. This Sun family is also true. No one should marry anyone else." It's a pity to enter Cheng's house."

The mother said: "A hateful person must have pitiful qualities. If you ask me, Mrs. Sun is not a good person. She is a perfect match for the mother and son of the Cheng family."

Later, I heard that the Cheng family was in trouble.It may be because the Sun family has been beaten so badly now that the Sun family has lost their backing. The old lady Cheng changed her previous style and turned out to be extremely tough and confronted the Sun family.But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Mrs. Sun is not easy to bully. The hand alone is enough for the old lady to drink a pot.One occupies the seniority, the other occupies the power, and the two confront each other tit for tat.

Because of Wu Lin's message, Cheng Hui's siblings changed their filial piety clothes into plain clothes before they arrived in Yuezhou. Since they went there with undetermined identities, what's the matter with wearing filial piety clothes?In the past, filial piety was used to avoid gossip from others, but now it has become an identity unknown, and Su Yi is enough to respect the deceased.

When Wu Lin saw Cheng Hui, she was taken aback by Cheng Hui's appearance.According to the description in Daiyu and Miaoyu's letter, Wu Lin imagined that Cheng Hui's appearance is fierce and fierce. Although his appearance is ruined, his grace and demeanor are not weak.However, Cheng Hui standing in front of her was not like that at all, she was thin and small, wearing a veil, lowering her head when she was not speaking, her sense of existence was almost non-existent, no one would believe that she was a little maid, Only the look in her eyes when she looks up and speaks can reveal a little about her character.Wu Lin is not someone who likes to judge people by their appearance, but for some reason, she felt disappointed when she saw Cheng Hui.

However, the most shocking thing is not her appearance, but the entourage she brings.Miaoyu's letter arrived faster than them. She had said how many entourages she had brought out, but now it was more than twice as many as mentioned in the letter.Cheng Hui's explanation was that she happened to pass a hill on the way, and it happened that the person who lived there was an old person from her maternal family. Fortunately, Cheng Quan's appearance and maternal grandfather seemed to be recognized by the leader.Considering that their parents were killed innocently, their lives were not easy, and their siblings would also need manpower in the future, so they brought them into the city together.

Even though Daiyu had repeatedly emphasized that Cheng Hui was untrustworthy before, Wu Lin didn't think anything of her, but felt a little pity for her. After all, she has suffered so much since childhood, and it's normal to have a trick. If she is still pure and good, she probably won't be able to live now.However, at this moment, she really felt dissatisfied with her.In any case, it was because of the Lin family that she had the chance to survive, and their siblings had what they are today. She only did things based on her own needs and didn't consider others, which Wu Lin couldn't agree with.

We all know that Brother Liu and Sixth Brother Wu are fighting fiercely with the Sun family over the banditry, and they brazenly brought these people back with their entourage, and they went directly to the county government office. Could it be that these people really Think no one recognizes them?Not necessarily, if someone recognized her, wouldn't the Lin family be accused of colluding with bandits?And there is no need for real evidence, the rumors behind the scenes can make people panic, and when the time comes, the people will be incited again, who will bear the responsibility!

As Jia Min said, it doesn't matter if a person is not smart, but he must be self-aware.Like Cheng Hui, who looks shrewd but is actually stupid.You don't know the situation in Fei County, wouldn't you make a decision after asking?It's really hateful that you brought it back without saying a word!

However, even if you feel dissatisfied, you can't just drive them out like this. You can only arrange their siblings first, and then tell the mother-in-law to arrange those guards, and then call someone to invite Brother Liu and Sixth Brother Wu. 'There is something important, come back quickly'.

Brother Liu and Sixth Brother Wu heard Wu Lin's words. As an outsider, Sixth Brother Wu could only slander in his heart, but he could almost know his attitude by looking at his white eyes that appeared from time to time. Brother Liu didn't have so many worries , Kicked the sour branch wooden stool and broke a leg on the spot, which shocked many people.

"Why did you become so angry? Even though you're a little ignorant, it's not irreparable. We discovered it early and took the lead. We just need to make more descriptions and make up for it. Nothing big will happen." Sixth Brother Wu persuaded, but he didn't know Liu Brother's thoughts.

Like Daiyu, after all, he is a person who has experienced these things, and a little clue can arouse his suspicion. He has always wondered who did it to Master Cheng, and he always felt that it was a bit far-fetched to put it on anyone. It was inevitable to suspect that it was her.If it was really her, thinking about the haggard heart and fear in those few days, Brother Liu couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, it was really good to raise a white-eyed wolf out of it!

However, in order to keep it secret, Brother Liu didn't tell anyone about his suspicions, and he only ordered his confidants to investigate.This kind of thing is difficult to investigate without a head and no brains, but as long as there is a target, there will always be clues that cannot be wiped clean, and it is easy to investigate whether there is any relationship.

Before Brother Liu could find out, Mrs. Cheng received the news early in the morning and went to see her grandson the next day, without even mentioning Cheng Hui's name.When they met, the old lady Cheng didn't pay attention to Cheng Hui, she just grabbed Cheng Quan and looked left and right, up and down, and kept saying: "It's my grandson, his face looks like your mother's, and his eyes are like his. Your father." Then he hugged him and cried, "Poor your father didn't see you until he died", and then he scolded Sun, "It's all Sun's bitch who killed thousands of knives, she has no talent and no virtue, It’s hard for my grandson to live outside at such a young age.”It was a big drama, with clear and well-organized layers, and it was right that she was innocent anyway.

Cheng Hui just stood there with her head bowed silently. The old lady in the middle looked up halfway when she was crying with her eyes closed. Her eyes were full of sarcasm. Wu Lin wanted to look again, but Cheng Hui had already lowered her head again.

Cheng Quan is not as clever as when he came yesterday, but looks like a scholar. When the old lady hugged him and cried, his face was sad and a little stiff, he hurriedly helped the old lady, and then took three steps back to Cheng Lao The wife clasped her fists and bowed deeply, her nerd appearance was undoubtedly revealed.He murmured, "I was still young when I left home that day, and I experienced panic. I really can't remember the personnel. Otherwise, it is reasonable to worship my father as soon as I enter the city. Now that my grandmother has confirmed my identity, it is reasonable to go to worship now. Can't delay." Pointing to Cheng Hui, he said, "This is my elder sister, who ruined her appearance because she protected me when she was young."

The old lady Cheng nodded dispensably to Cheng Hui, and then said goodbye to Wu Lin, "This child is filial, if you want to pay homage to your cousin, I will take them there first, thank you later, and thank you too old lady."

Wu Lin said: "Filial piety is the most important thing in the world. Now that their identities have been confirmed, they should be filial at the first time. Go ahead, I will take care of the attendants who salute, and I will send them to you soon. You can observe filial piety with peace of mind." That is. You don’t have to be polite, aunt. We are not outsiders, so we don’t need to pay attention to those trivial etiquette. Sister Gu is also a relative, and she only raises them because they are good children. , it’s better to protect Brother Quan first, after all, it’s only such a bloodline.”

The old lady Cheng was aroused by Wu Lin's last words, and she took Cheng Quan and Cheng Hui back to Cheng's house with arrogance.
