Chapter 40 Helpless
"No!" Gu stood up, and then sat back on the ground in shock.Pained from the fall, Mrs. Gu hurriedly got up, only two steps away from her husband. She stumbled and hugged Zhou Shiyuan's arm tightly: "Our house has nothing to do, we can't go!"

Detective Xing could also understand, and said politely: "Grandma Zhou, don't worry, if there is nothing else, you will come back." Feng Luan's heart tightened, and he asked timidly, "Is it going to take a while to find out?"

"It depends on the size of the matter. Some are waiting for trial at home, and it may be related to a few days." Detective Xing said clearly.Feng Luan was devastated, and looked at his father with his sleeves hanging down. Zhou Shiyuan was still the head of the family at this time. He looked at his daughter comfortingly, and then comforted his wife: "I didn't do anything wrong, I will come back if I go!"

"No!" Mrs. Gu held on tightly but didn't let go. Zhou Shiyuan was sitting, and Mrs. Gu was half kneeling and half crawling beside his legs, and he could see a few strands of white hair on the old wife's hair. No, let it go, pack up the house seriously, and wait for me to come back."

Fengluan's tears rolled down: "Mother, let go of your hand and let father go." He called Lai'an again: "Go hire a sedan chair, father can't walk."

Zhou Shiyuan followed the catcher in a sedan chair, because the catcher was easy to talk, so he was allowed to go in a sedan chair.If you encounter a stranger, you have to pass with a limp.

Gu's wept and sat on the ground crying, there was a maid and Lan Zhi in her room who couldn't help her up.Feng Luan can't take care of her mother at the moment, watching her father get into the sedan chair in front of the gate, and only then returns to see her mother.

Persuading her to get up, Feng Luan also burst into tears: "Mother, I'm going to take a look with you, you don't have to cry at home, lest father and I worry."

Gu hugged her and cried and did not let go: "You are a girl, how can you go to court, if there is something wrong, your marriage will be over from now on."

Crying like this, of course, scolded the Mao family more than once.Mrs. Gu is a woman, she loves her daughter and pity her husband, the only thing she can scold is the Mao family who let the Zhou family go when they are in trouble, which can be regarded as a disaster.

If she knew what was going on behind the Mao family's back, Mrs. Gu might cry to death.A woman, she has no other ability.Whether there were such people among the folk women in ancient times can be found in a large number of ancient books.

Feng Luan followed her father's temper, and when she heard her mother mention Mao's house again, she felt annoyed and angry, and became stronger.Supporting his mother with both hands, he said softly: "Crying is useless, it's important to ask about father's matter."

If she was worried about Zhou Shiyuan, she woke up Gu Shi who was about to faint from crying. She panicked and urged Feng Luan to leave quickly: "Go and see, you must come back tonight."

Feng Luan agreed to go outside, and Mrs. Gu supported Lan Zhi and hurriedly chased after her skirt: "There is still a piece of medicine that I haven't taken, let him come back early to take the medicine."

Feng Luan, who was full of sadness, also thought that it would be best if the tears fell, but the tears were about to fall, and this was not the time and she had no free time.She suppressed her tears, choked up with tears in her mouth, and said, "Don't worry, mother."

With heartless strides, she turned around and walked away, holding her skirt with both hands and almost swaying here and there, before she stabilized, she heard Gu's worried and sad voice behind her: "I'll be back early, you... just a girl."

"I know!" Feng Luan burst into tears and went outside without turning her head.When I went out, I saw the neighbors standing at the door and whispering, but Feng Luan couldn't see them all, she just felt that the sun was shining and it was dark, the sky was so dark, the ground was so dark, the road was clearly clear under her feet, but she walked a step higher Lower one foot, like walking in mud in the middle of the night.

It was too dark!

Guizhi followed, helping her from time to time, the master and servant were tear-stained as they stumbled into the yamen.

They passed by Mao's restaurant, Mao Lin saw it at the counter, pulled up the skirt of his clothes and wiped the wet corners of his eyes: "Poor child, who will marry in the future?"

She still didn't know that her husband was afraid of revenge from the Zhou family, so she whispered to shopkeeper Mao: "Mr. Guo has promised to help the Zhou family, so don't go and see if something happens again."

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and now the news is here.Even if it doesn't come here, shopkeeper Mao will let people inquire about it.

Seeing what his wife said, the shopkeeper Mao pretended to sigh: "Oh, I'm not for this family. I've been a good person to keep your women well fed and well-fed. Now I'm also upset when I hear that the Zhou family has one child after another. Well. How about this, let's see the direction of the wind, if Mr. Guo is really willing to help, we will help. But this is an official matter, I am afraid that Mr. Guo will not help."

There was such a commotion in front of Zhou’s house, the gate was smashed and beaten, and the government servants rushed to suppress it. Mao Lin also heard every sentence, and she was surprised and suspicious: “I have known Zhou’s family for decades, they are not That wicked man."

"What do you know, old woman! He has no money and pays for other people's medicine every day, but you know what he is thinking!" The shopkeeper Mao scolded: "If he changes, I think it should be, but you girls If you think about it, you should be grateful for my resignation. Otherwise, alas..."

Shopkeeper Mao couldn't help shaking her head, and Mao Lin was also an illiterate woman, her heart wavering from side to side, with a tablecloth in her hand, doing her own work unconsciously.

Mao Lin's heart was dizzy, while shopkeeper Mao's heart was jumping with fear.He was afraid of taking the responsibility to kick the Zhou family away, afraid that Feng Luan would marry Guo Pu for money, and he would get revenge after gaining power.At this moment, his heart was full of rolling thunder for a while, and cloudy rain for a while, and it couldn't stop for a moment.

If Zhou Shiyuan's leg injury is not healed, it will be more severe if he is locked up inside, and he will die. Shopkeeper Mao's complexion fluctuates with his mood, which is very ugly.

He is a money-gathering and greedy person, of course he will be careful to restrain his thoughts in front of others.I thought that when I found the Zhou family, my son married the only daughter of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family’s Qiancaizi shop would be named Mao in the future. I didn’t want such a thing to happen. , it’s all going downstream, and his mood is no longer up to him.

If Zhou Shiyuan really died in prison, shopkeeper Mao thought about it, and felt that he was being picked up.He sat at the counter and kept his eyes on the street for a moment.If the Zhou family members come back, they should also pass by here.

"Father, we have guests." The daughter of the Wang family called him, but the shopkeeper Mao caught him by surprise, the corners of his eyes twitched in shock, and he jumped up too.Mao Yuan stared hard at his father, then at Wang's daughter, and strode back.

shameless!From that day on, I stayed and called my father and mother when I stayed!shameless!Mao Yuan cursed again in his heart, and went straight to the back door.

As soon as he opened the back door, someone grabbed his collar and received two chestnuts on his head, which made Mao Yuan shrink back. Behind him came the vicious voice of shopkeeper Mao: "You are not allowed to look!"

"Let me see what's wrong!" Mao Yuan walked through the back door, just to go to the yamen to have a look. If he was found out, he would fight back.
