Chapter 179 Woman
"Ten taels!" Ren Shaochun was startled, and couldn't help but look at the lantern twice more.

Shen Qingling covered her lips and smiled at him, and said: "Do you think I'm joking with you? Last time I said I would give your father a few lamps, but your father postponed it, saying that it was placed at home and people saw it, and I'm afraid they would suspect him." Corruption and corruption."

It was what Ren Bingyi could say.

"My father is not like this." Ren Shaochun raised his foot, motioning Shen Qingling to look at his boots, "I sewed these shoes for me last year, and he doesn't even allow me to wear new shoes!"

As she talked, it turned into a complaint, which made Shen Qingling laugh uncontrollably.

When it was completely dark, the woman came out with a food tray, [-] hot tea, [-] porridge, plus four steamed buns, and the aroma of porridge spread out from a long distance.

"This neighborhood is remote." She put the plate of food in front of Shen Qingling, and said gently: "Since the two of you are thirsty, there is no guarantee that you will not be hungry, so just eat some and continue on your way."

Shen Qingling and Ren Shaochun naturally thanked each other.

While drinking the porridge, Shen Qingling asked unintentionally: "Madam, do you know where there is a post office near here? It's closer, my brother is not physically strong, if he walks for another night, I'm afraid he won't be able to go to school tomorrow of."

In order to cooperate with Shen Qingling, Ren Shaochun coughed twice very naturally, his face flushed.

"The closest one?" The woman tilted her head for a while and replied, "I'm afraid the closest one will take you ten miles... You don't have donkeys or horses, and you are so thin, you probably have to travel all night." gone."

When they came, Shen Qingling and the others inquired about it, and the nearest post station from Wuzhou was a long distance away from Bieyuan, even farther than Bieyuan going to Wuzhou.

At this moment, the city gate of Wuzhou has already been unlocked, and rushing to Wuzhou will definitely not work.

"Ten miles away?" Shen Qingling's expression suddenly showed exaggerated disappointment, and she continued to ask: "Then, Ma'am, do you have a horse-drawn cart at home? We can spend money to buy it... When I came out, I thought about it." The road is not far, save some money, but I didn't expect that I almost made someone sick."

Words set off to this point.

The woman was very kind, and said hesitantly: "If you don't mind, you can stay in my yard for one night. It's just that the two of you can't enter the backyard without my husband."

"Madam is really kind!" Shen Qingling quickly put the bowl away, stood up and folded her sleeves in a big salute, "It doesn't matter if you don't enter the backyard, we two brothers can just make do with one night in the front yard."

"Yes, yes, Ma'am can keep us, we are already overwhelmed with gratitude." Ren Shaochun said.

He got up too quickly, and before he could swallow the porridge in his throat, he began to cough violently.

"Look at you, you are not in good health and you are always emotional, have you forgotten what the doctor said?" Shen Qingling turned around and patted Ren Shaochun on the back in a full play, then turned back and said to the woman: "It's really troublesome madam , we’ll just sleep in the yard.”

Seeing the man in front of him coughing so hard that his body was rickety, the woman couldn't get rid of her sympathy, so she hurriedly said, "How can I do it in the hospital? It's getting colder and colder at night, is it right for you to stay in the hospital or live in the wild?" It's different. I'll clean up for you later, how about you live in the firewood house? I'm afraid you will dislike it."

Shen Qingling was very grateful, and thanked with red eyes: "Madam can keep us, we are too late to be happy, how can we dislike it? Madam doesn't need to tidy up, just give us a mattress, and we will just make do with it."

Having said that, the woman worked hard for a while, not to mention tidying up the firewood room, and moved two new mattresses for Shen Qingling and Ren Shaochun.

Seeing the woman returned to the backyard, Ren Shaochun patted Shen Qingling on the shoulder and said, "Is it not good for us to lie to her like this?"

There is only one small window in the woodshed, and the cold moon pours the jade-colored moonlight into the woodshed through the window, adding a touch of remoteness to the shabby and cramped woodshed.

"Maybe." Shen Qingling walked to the window, looked up for a while, then turned around and said: "But you should be clear, whether she is good or not is different from Wu Wen."

The word Wu Wen was like a knife, scraping Ren Shaochun's face, leaving no blood on his face.

late at night.

Shen Qingling didn't intend to sleep well, she was going to search the backyard, if she could find something related to Wu Wen, that would be the best, if she couldn't find it, she could also see what was going on in the backyard.

Even though Ren Shaochun insisted on following, Shen Qingling still sternly rejected him.

Under the bright moon, a black shadow flashed across the courtyard wall in a blink of an eye and disappeared outside the woodshed.

Ren Shaochun looked at the door for a few times, lay down on the wooden bed, sighed unavoidably, and murmured: "If Wu Wen really did something, what should this lady do? If she is like this, if she leaves Wu Wen, I'm afraid there will be no What a way of making a living."

Of course Shen Qingling, who jumped all the way into the backyard, knew that Ren Shaochun would have ideas, but she didn't have time to enlighten Ren Shaochun right now, so she could only focus on what was in front of her.

The woman is not asleep yet.

The light in the room was on, and she was sitting under the light, holding a coat and mending it.

"mother……"

A cute and cute voice sounded.

On the bed on the right side lay a five or six-year-old girl, with her feet raised and her chin resting on her face, looking at the woman.

"Mother, I want to go to see my father tomorrow, is that okay?"

The woman bit her head and bit the thread, and said gently: "Didn't your daughter make an appointment with Daddy, when did she learn to write her own name, when can she go to play with Daddy? Your Daddy, you've been busy with a lot of things recently. , you can't bother him at this moment."

The little girl quit, went to the ground barefoot, ran to the woman's side, and said shamelessly: "I don't care, mother will take me to see my father tomorrow, otherwise I will not be with mother."

"Little ancestor, it's cold on the ground, go back quickly." The woman was afraid that the little girl would catch a cold, and also that the needle in hand would pierce her, so she quickly inserted the needle into the dustpan on her knee, "Otherwise, mother will take you out tomorrow." How about fishing?"

Hearing that fishing was allowed, the little girl immediately forgot about her father again, and smiled from ear to ear.

After finally coaxing the little girl to go to bed, the woman didn't have the energy to mend her clothes, so she just sat by the bed, caressing her robe.

Shen Qingling tiptoed down.

After climbing a few times, I heard the woman in the room speak:

"Don't think I don't know what you're doing."

Shen Qingling at the eaves trembled, went back the same way, and lifted the roof tiles again.It's just that Shen Qingling realized that the woman was talking to herself instead of discovering something.

"When will you stop?"

"If you don't stop, what will my daughter do? What should I do?"
