Chapter 45
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Dazhuang became very talkative, and he talked endlessly as soon as he opened his mouth. Qin Mengyao listened carefully to the novelty, but Nan Chengmo frowned as if he was worried.

"Zhong'er's father has been to the city many times, and he likes to listen to gossip stories. Every time he comes back, he talks about it as if it were news. But after he came back a few days ago, he still said that those big families in the city don't know their blessings when they are in the blessings. If you want to gossip and make a fuss about the separation of the family, even the old foundation left by the ancestors was almost smashed, but fortunately, they are just stones, and they won’t break even if they are dropped, otherwise I don’t know how many good things will be destroyed,” Aunt Li finished. Glancing at his man reproachfully, Li Dazhuang was not angry but smiled tolerantly,
"Aunt Li, what did you just say, stone?" Nan Cheng Mo didn't take it seriously at first, but after Aunt Li mentioned it, he was a little bit concerned about the stone house in the city.

"Well, that family's ancestor passed down the story of Jianshi, which specializes in selling all kinds of strange stones. It is said that it has a history of nearly a hundred years. It is a pity that Boss Nan just passed away. The eldest son of the family was not filial, so he left without saying goodbye on the same day. Young's son took care of the business in the store. Later, someone in the family was greedy for the business in the store, so they took out a will and insisted on forcing the family to split up. Who knew Mrs. Nan refused, so those people found some hooligans to go to the store. Make trouble, and smash everything that can be smashed." After Li Dazhuang finished speaking, he saw Nan Cheng Mo's face was pale, thinking that the legacy had occurred, he was frightened and hurriedly helped him back to the bed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when it was confirmed that there was no serious problem.

After the Li couple left, Qin Mengyao brought a basin of water to soak Nan Cheng Mo's feet after cleaning up the mess, but saw him staring at him.

"What else are you hiding from me?" Qin Mengyao was a little puzzled by the nonsensical words.

"You've drunk too much, wash up and go to sleep."

"You can draw and write, and you can teach Zhong'er how to read, and where do the stories you tell come from?" Qin Mengyao didn't want to respond, but Nan Chengmo was relentless.

"I was sold as a slave since I was a child. Later, the young lady of that family hired a teacher for the young lady. She was taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Naturally, I, the girl who accompanied me, also learned a thing or two. Do you have any questions?"

"Hehe, it's just that a girl has such talent. It seems that I really underestimated you before. Tell me, what kind of benefits did Mrs. Nan give you? You are so determined to leave me in this small mountain village. All the misfortunes caused me to be kept in the valley. Why! Why are you all hiding it from me? I have worked so hard for the Nan family, but in the end I am just an adopted son who was expelled from the house. Why!" For so many days, Nan Chengmo was hysterical for the first time, and kept beating his weak legs.

Seeing this, Qin Mengyao became more calm. He brought the washbasin filled with hot water to the side of the bed, and pressed Nan Cheng Mo's feet into the water, but Nan Cheng Mo kicked him over, and the hot water splashed onto the bed. Qin Mengyao's body dripped onto the ground again, winding like a thin snake on the ground.

"Heh, why, who do you think you are, and you become a man by bluffing at me? You think the whole world owes you, okay, then tell me what I owe you, and I became a relative to you somehow , I was insulted by you for nothing, yes, you saved my life, but it doesn't mean I owe you my whole life."

"Since you were poisoned, there have been rumors in the village that I poisoned you to kill you. I have endured this. Since you saved my life, I have no reason to sit idly by. I ran out of food at home, so I went to the fields to dig wild vegetables. , for you to eat and drink, you only think about your own sadness, why didn't you think that I am just an ordinary woman, and I also have my own emotions!" Qin Mengyao stood in front of the bed with arms folded, looking at Nan Chengmo coldly. .

At this moment, Nan Cheng Mo suddenly calmed down, and buried his face tightly in the bed. When he raised his head again, his face had returned to the same level as before. He glanced at the steaming footwash water on the ground, and said as if nothing had happened. He said, "It's getting late, go to bed."

Seeing Nan Cheng Mo turn around, Qin Mengyao felt a hot stream gushing out of his eyes.The skirt was already soaked, and the inner pants stuck to the legs, making it extremely uncomfortable. The washbasin was quietly closed on the ground, and the white heat was gradually dissipating as the water temperature dropped.

No matter how hard his study life was, Qin Mengyao never felt so hopeless. After all, there is hope for everything. After graduation, work, marriage and children, he obeys the rules of life, old age, sickness and death like everyone else.But now trapped in this backward mountain village, with surly people around him, there is not even any hope of life.

Qin Mengyao's desire to return to the past has never been stronger at this moment.
