Chapter 87 The Widow Liu (1)

87
At the end of November, the temperature dropped several degrees overnight, and it was no longer possible to wear only two single clothes. Fortunately, Bo Beibei had the foresight to make preparations in advance and made a set of winter clothes for everyone in the family.

However, Bo Beibei felt that the quilt was still too thin, so she went to the town to buy more clothes with a full warehouse.

Mancang is growing tall now. Bai Beibei asked the tailor to customize a set of darker-colored outerwear and trousers and a set of black-colored gold-stitched outerwear for him. I can buy ready-made middle clothes. It doesn’t matter if it’s a little longer. , can be tucked into pants, and can be worn in the coming year.

Mother and brother's clothes were bought off-the-shelf, and she also bought two sets herself.

I also bought two quilts, and the other beibei plans to buy them when they move to a new house next year.

"The warehouse is full, what do you want for lunch?" I bought everything that should be bought, and I have to go back after lunch.

The current warehouse is not as full as it was a few months ago. He is no longer interested in shopping, and he is also very picky about eating. He is not as happy as before when he brought him to the town. This makes Bai Beibei very unfulfilling. feel.

"Anything!" Mancang said in a waned mood.

Bo Beibei stared: "It's not casual."

Mancang didn't know why my sister suddenly got angry, thought for a while, and said, "Then eat Yangchun noodles."

He remembered that the first time he came to town with his brothers and sisters, he ate Yangchun noodles. At that time, he thought Yangchun noodles were the best food in the world.

Only then did Bai Beibei bend the corners of her lips, and said with a hand full of hands, "Okay, let's eat Yangchun noodles."

Mancang wanted to take back his hand, but seeing his sister was happy, he gave up.

As soon as the two turned into the second street, they saw a lot of people gathered at the end of the street, blocking the road.

Just as Bo Beibei was curious, she heard a hysterical cry: "Master Li, I beg you, please let my son go, and let them stop beating..."

Immediately afterwards, a man shouted angrily: "Are they all dead? Why don't you pull this bitch away!"

Bo Beibei felt that Mancang was afraid, thought for a while, and asked, "Mancang, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Sister, it's so scary, I'd better not go to see it." Mancang shook his head vigorously, the voice of that person just now was so fierce.

"Mancang, you are a man, you will be laughed at if you are so timid, let's take a look and leave, okay?" Bai Beibei asked softly.

She plans to send Mancang to study in the town next year. The people in the town are much more complicated than those at the seaside, and the timid will suffer. Another thing is that it will be good for him to let Mancang get in touch with more things.

"Sister, I'm afraid!" Mancang was really frightened by the man just now, and wanted to take his hand out of Bo Beibei's hand.

The siblings were in a stalemate when a man from the periphery of the crowd walked over.

"Miss Beibei, are you coming to town again?"

Bo Beibei looked up and saw that it was the owner of the carpenter's shop.

"Boss, what happened over there?" Bo Beibei held Mancang tightly, not letting him go.

The owner of the carpenter's shop sighed a long sigh: "It's someone from the county, who came to arrest the son of Widow Liu at Dongzhenkou."

Bai Beibei noticed that Mancang didn't struggle anymore after listening to the words of the carpenter boss, and there was gossip in his eyes, so he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips, and continued to ask: "Boss, why did they arrest people for no reason?"

"It's a long story. This Widow Liu is also a poor woman. Widow Liu has been in the house for less than a year, and Lao Liu left before the child was born. Only Lao Liu's stepmother and eldest brother are left at home. Widow Liu with a belly had a very difficult life, but fortunately, Widow Liu is a virtuous woman, she went out to do some work after her son was born, she helped people wash clothes during the day, and exchanged money at night, so she barely survived."

"In the beginning, Lao Liu's stepmother didn't say anything when she saw that Liu's widow was hardworking and earning money, but in the past few years, Lao Liu's son Bao'er has gradually grown up and ate a lot, and Lao Liu's black-hearted stepmother began to have Complaints, either beating or scolding Bao'er, Widow Liu talked back to her several times for her son, and the black-hearted stepmother went outside to say that Widow Liu was unfilial, and Widow Liu was ready to take her son away in a fit of anger."

"Old Liu's stepmother has no children, and she has to rely on Widow Liu's mother and son to take care of her, so how can she let them go? There is a lot of trouble. Widow Liu is worried that there will be real trouble, so she can only compromise in the end, but she didn't expect that black man My heart, for the sake of money, someone actually sold Bao'er to a rich family surnamed Li in the county, and became a book boy for the young master of that family. Monthly monthly money will be handed over to her."

The carpenter's shop owner sighed again.

"How could there be such a bad person in the world?" Mancang couldn't believe it, and his brows were furrowed.

Bo Beibei also sighed unceasingly, glanced at his younger brother, and asked, "What happened next?"

"Widow Liu thought her son had been abducted and sold by bad guys at first, and she searched everywhere. Later, she found out that her son had been sold by her mother-in-law. She immediately severed ties with that black-hearted man and went to the county town to find her son."

"It was at this time that the young master of the Li family accidentally fell into the lake and almost drowned. The master Li insisted that Bao'er didn't take care of him well so he let his son fall into the lake and wanted to beat Bao'er to death. The son was afraid, so he ran away and met Widow Liu who was looking for her in the county. Widow Liu brought him back to the town. The weather is getting colder, so I went back to the town."

"Who knows, people came from the county seat the next day after they returned home..." The carpenter shop owner shook his head sympathetically.

Mancang struggled for a while, and said, "Sister, let's go and have a look."

This Bao'er is so pitiful, her face is full of sadness.

"Okay, go take a look."

"Miss Beibei, I heard that people in this county are not easy to mess with. Just watch the fun and don't interrupt." The owner of the carpenter's shop warned: "I'm busy in the shop, so I have to go back."

"Thank you boss, you can go now." Bai Beibei smiled.

There were constant cries in front, and Bo Beibei pushed Mancang to the front of the crowd.

"Master Li, please don't beat my son, kill me if you want to kill me, please let my son go, please..."

As soon as the siblings squeezed into the crowd, they saw a rough-looking woman in her 30s and [-]s hugging a middle-aged man's leg and begging bitterly.

Next to the two of them, a few men who looked like servants were punching and kicking a little boy. The little boy was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he was motionless. If it weren't for his wide-eyed eyes, Bo Beibei would have thought he was Already killed.

However, he looks horrible like this.

"what--"
