Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will grow out of control.
Even though these outsiders are still in doubt, but the other side's words really shake Zhang Cuicui's position in Mayor Zhang's mind.
When he thought that his niece would be a stranger of unknown origin, Mayor Zhang felt cold on his back and his scalp was numb. After hesitating for a while, he stopped mentioning the matter of going to the ancestral hall. However, he left several outsiders to stay in the town for another two days on the ground that there would be a disturbance in the town in the next two days.
Liu Wei wanted to stay and see what happened to Liu Yue. So he decided to stay in Qingfeng town for two more days.
After returning from the tavern, Mayor Zhang went home immediately.
Just now, I heard that Zhang Cuicui was resting in the house. I wanted to go there and have a look, but the road was stopped by the eldest son.
"Dad, you can take revenge for your sister and send those thieves to the official for correction?"
Mayor Zhang was upset and didn't want to deal with his son. He said casually, "no, those guests are businessmen. They come to the town to order and buy. Since they are foreign businessmen, they should not hurt Cuicui without any reason. It should be just a misunderstanding."
After hearing this, Zhang Yuan said to Mao, "what kind of misunderstanding? My sister has broken her face. It can also be called misunderstanding?"
Mayor Zhang frowned: "I said misunderstanding is misunderstanding. What are you quarreling about? I'm worried about your cousin's business. Am I not going to see her? Since you are in a hurry, go with me. "
Zhang Yuan was so angry that he led his father all the way to the East chamber. Zhu Shu, a servant girl outside, was talking to people. When he saw them coming, he immediately welcomed them.
"I have seen the master and the master."
Zhang Yuan asked, "where is Cuicui?"
Zhu Shu said: "the young lady is in the room. She has already rested. Wait a moment, you two. My maid will go and ask the young lady to get up."
"You let her go to the front hall..." said Mayor Zhang
"What else is it called?" Zhang Yuan interrupts his father's words: "since Cuicui has already slept down, let her have a good rest. She must be frightened now. Let's not disturb her. Zhushu, you can serve your young lady. You can't let her wound worsen. Your young lady is suffering today. Go back to the accounting room and get fifty liang of silver, buy her some ginseng bird's nests, and let her have a good nourishing."
Zhang Yuan babbled a lot, but didn't find his father's face was black.
"You're very fond of your cousin." Fifty Liang silver is enough for the poor to live in for three years. It's so light to send it out and buy ginseng antler and bird's nest. It's just that there's a hole in the head. The medicine is not good. What do you want to eat? When they have a silver name? Real gold and silver will come with your hand?
Zhang Yuan thought that his father was praising him and said with a smile, "that's nature. It's not someone else. It's Cuicui, the treasure of uncle's family. Since he came to stay in our family for a while, he should be more concerned."
Mayor Zhang sneered: "I didn't find you so careful before. Your mother's waist flashed a few days ago, but you didn't think about buying her something."
Zhang Yuan said indifferently, "my mother is old, and it's a waste to eat those good things. Cuicui is different. She's gorgeous and beautiful. If there is a scar on her head, the rest of her life will not be destroyed."
Zhang Zhen can't hear it anymore. He slapped his son on the head.
Zhang Yuan was chased and beaten. He asked wrongly, "what happened to me? You beat me again. What did I say wrong?"
This time, Mayor Zhang was not good at beating. He picked up a stone in the flower bed and hit his son.
Zhang Yuan was quick and ran away, but he was also scared: "Dad, do you know what you are doing! You are going to kill your son! "
"It's just killing you heartless rammer!" Mayor Zhang was so angry that he took a breath: "your mother conceived in October and raised you. In your heart, it's not as expensive as a cousin? What do you say your mother wants you to do? It's better to have a pancake than to have you! "
Zhang Yuan is howling, but the more he fights, the more sober he is.
It used to be that there was no daughter in the family. The eldest son seldom met a cousin of the same age, so he loved her and took care of her. But when he heard Zhang Yuan's words, he realized later. However, within a few months, the son who had been extremely filial to the elder seemed to have changed his personality. His parents didn't care about her. They all cared about the last outsider.
Looking back on Zhang Yuan's getting along with Zhang Cuicui in the past year, they were almost inseparable on weekdays. They had to go with each other wherever they went. Several times, he sent Zhang Yuan to the next town to collect money, and Zhang Cuicui had to go. They went for three days and two nights, or alone. In the end, they were still alone. If it wasn't for cousins or cousins, they would have to see jokes.
There are some things that can't be thought deeply. In the front, there is the advice of "luring wolves into the room" from outsiders. In the back, there are the bloody examples of Zhang Yuan's changes. Mayor Zhang's hair is bristling with fear. He sends a vicious fire to Zhu's book: "call your young lady to the front hall and say I'll find her!"
After a quarter of an hour or so, Zhang Cuicui came out in the company of Zhushu. When she met with Mayor Zhang, Zhang Cuicui, as usual, wanted to come forward and say hello.
But Mayor Zhang, with a straight face, reached out to her and said directly, "untie the things on your head."Zhang Cuicui was stunned. She felt her forehead and asked, "Er Shu, this is..."
Zhang Yuan couldn't help saying: "Cuicui's head is wrapped well. Why do you want to untie it? Untie the wound and let it blow. If it can't be cured, then... "
"I'm in charge of everything. Shut up!" Mayor Zhang scolded his son and glared at Zhang Cuicui, urging: "untie!"
Zhang Cuicui swallowed her saliva and held her palm. "I don't know what uncle Er means, but the wound has been bandaged properly. The doctor said before that, it's better not to untie it easily, otherwise it will affect the healing, and it will be more difficult in the future..."
Mayor Zhang didn't want to listen to her nonsense. He said directly to Zhushu, "you, untie it for your miss."
Zhu Shu frowned tightly and said "yes" in a low voice. He went to Zhang Cuicui's side and lowered his voice. He said at a volume that only two people could hear: "I'll let you solve it. What's the cost? Isn't it serious? Let him see how it can be."
Zhang Cuicui holds Zhushu's hand and shakes her head.
Zhu Shu didn't understand at first, but later, his face changed.
Zhang Cuicui clenched her lips and forced her to say to the mayor, "I don't know what the second uncle meant by his niece's wound. Mo Fei is for those foreigners who have injured his niece? Say It's also niece's fault. I should have stopped my cousin just now. I shouldn't have let him go to the tavern because I couldn't move him. Would they not want to lose money? If you don't pay, I won't pursue. After all, I just kowtow. I'll take care of myself. Please don't worry about my niece. "
Zhang Cuicui's words have feelings and meanings, but Mayor Zhang's heart is burning.
Zhang Yuan went out to the streets to find out about her like a clown. His father had to deal with it at last. But when he came to Zhang Cuicui's mouth, he became his son's amorous. She was a victim who couldn't stop her?
Mayor Zhang didn't say it, but he was deeply upset. He slapped the table and shouted at Zhushu, "untie it for your young lady! What are you doing
Zhu Shu was scolded, and he stared at Zhang Cuicui with more resentment!
Zhang Cuicui is also sweaty palms, white as paper. She knows her own business. She knows exactly what the wound looks like. If it's really untied, she can't finish it!
