The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 60 The Rumors Are Unbelievable

There is a blind man who lives next door to Li's house. Although he is blind, he knows very well that he can always say things that others don't know wherever he goes. Today, he probably smelled the fragrance and groped in with a cane. .

No one greeted him, and he sat on the threshold by himself.

"I said Longlong Niang, your condition seems to be much better today. You two have been the two of you for so many years. What's the matter, there are guests at home today. It's so lively. Is it the Maiden who was sold by you back then?" Mai."

The old man likes to gossip, but Li Shi didn't want to pay attention to it. He glanced at the old man sitting on the threshold and said, "You, it's really very effective. How do you know it's our Maimai?"

"Is it true that Maimai is capable now? This way of talking is different from what it used to be, and neither was you back then."

Li Shi was so angry that she didn't know what to say, Yu Longlong walked in and yelled at the old man: "Blind Grandpa, why is your daughter-in-law calling you for dinner?"

The old man deliberately pretended not to be obedient, Yu Longlong yelled again, this time, he turned around and yelled at Longlong: "I'm blind and I'm not deaf, why are you yelling so loudly?"

After working for a long time, it turned out that the blind old man could hear clearly. Seeing that the old man talked a lot, Yu Maimai sat down.

"What's the matter, do you still know my name?"

The blind old man laughed: "Why don't I know? I was there when your father was alive. I have a good relationship with your father. At that time, I watched you being sold by your sister-in-law. Hey, I didn't expect you to come back now."

When Mrs. Zhang came to the kitchen, she found that no one had entered the kitchen for many days. The pots and tables were in a mess and the ground was full of bumps. It really didn't look like a place for cooking.

No way, who asked her to follow, in this case, I have to clean up the place first, otherwise, how can I cook here?
Yu Longlong smiled embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry to make you laugh. Since my mother got sick, we seldom cook here. We cook on the clay stove outside."

As he spoke, he brought in a bundle of firewood and whispered, "Sister-in-law, is there any way you can drive that blind old man away?"

"Why? Are you afraid that he will eat and rob us?"

"That's not true, do you know? This blind man is so cute. No one in the family is willing to welcome him. I don't know where we learned that our house has a visitor today. I think it must be smelling the house. Does it smell like boiled medicine?"

Mrs. Zhang gave Yu Longlong a blank look: "You really know how to joke. This smells like medicine. Could it be that he wants to take medicine?"

"You don't know, this blind man smelled the medicine, so he thought I had money to make medicine for my mother, so he came to my house, and he either poked trouble, or cheated on food and drink, nothing else."

Through the window, I heard the old man talking, but Mrs. Li was nowhere to be seen. Mrs. Zhang said softly, "It's weird, why is your mother gone?"

Yu Longlong stood guard at the door and watched for a while, and sure enough, the blind man spoke furtively: "I'll tell you, how did your sister-in-law treat you before, and you even boiled medicine for her, as I said, just Let it die."

Yu Maimai didn't expect that the blind man could say such a thing, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

"That's all in the past. My brother also left. I sold me at the beginning because I had no money to treat my brother's illness."

"Fantasy words, at the beginning, the ghost knew what this woman used the money for, and only people like you were easy to deceive. Now I bring delicious food and drink to others, and even make medicine for them. I am not worth it for you." Ah, how did your brother die, don’t you know?”

Yu Maimai doesn't want to hear these words anymore, what's the point of talking about the past?

"I'm going to help with the cooking, you should stay here first." Finding an opportunity, Yu Maimai hurriedly left and got into the kitchen, and the blind old man didn't follow in again.

"Mother, I've been watching for a long time. What about my aunt, did she run away in anger from this old man?"

Yu Maimai glanced at Mrs. Zhang, and found that the pot was clean, and immediately said with a smile: "It's pretty quick, so let's wash the vegetables first, cut the meat into slices, and prepare."

Yu Maimai came to the main room and found that Mrs. Li was lying on the kang, sleeping with her back on her back.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter, did something happen, does this blind old man come to the house often?"

Mrs. Li didn't turn around, but wiped her eyes with her sleeves, turned around and said after a long time: "You don't know, if it wasn't for this old man, maybe your brother is still alive?"

"What's the matter? What does my brother's death have to do with this man?"

Mrs. Li sat up and sighed: "You don't know, after the Zhang family gave the money, I hurriedly took the money to find the doctor, and I was going to ask the doctor to treat your father. When I heard about this old man, he said that he was very familiar with Lang Zhong, he knew where Lang Zhong was now, so I gave him the money, and he went to ask for help, but who knows, the invitation disappeared, and I was still waiting at home. Although you are here, your brother is hopeless, and now I feel disgusted when I see this old man."

"Could it be that the money was taken away by him, and he randomly found a doctor later on. Maybe that person is not a doctor at all?"

After Yu Maimai's analysis, Li immediately patted his head and shouted loudly: "Yes, why am I so stupid, why didn't I think that the doctor he hired was a fake doctor?"

Mrs. Li sat up from the kang, trembling all over: "What's going on? Why didn't I think of this?"

Yu Maimai said a few words of comfort, patted Li on the shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I believe my brother has a spirit in heaven, there will be a truth to this matter, and I, too, will be able to find out." Why come.

Walking out of the main room, Yu Maimai saw the blind man still sitting there, as if he was waiting for something.

Yu Maimai came over and said in a low voice: "Old man, since you know my father well, how much do you know about my elder brother? I always wonder if my sister-in-law harmed my elder brother?"

Yu Maimai threw the hook, and soon the blind man couldn't bear it anymore, and then said mysteriously: "You are right, it was your sister-in-law who harmed your brother. When your brother was sick, there was no one in the family. For the money, I sold you, it was originally for your brother to see a doctor, but who knows, this woman actually gave the money to someone else, I won’t say who it is, some things, it’s better not to know.”

It seems that this blind man really has his own way. In other words, he just wanted to pour dirty water on Mrs. Li so as to get rid of his suspicion. This blind man is really shrewd.
