www.mtlnovel.com, the fastest update of the latest chapter of The Lazy Woman of the Evil Man!
Xiao Lang ran out of the gate in a happy mood. Of course, in the eyes of others, he was driven out of the house by the Zhang family to hunt.
He ran to the path into the mountain in one breath. Xiao Lang stopped at the corner of the mountain road and looked at the corner hidden behind the house, thinking that the lazy girl was probably standing under the tree and counting how many apricots were about to ripen. I can’t wait to run over immediately, hug her, carry her on my back, watch her bulging cheeks when she eats apricots, and lick her red and tender mouth…
Unfortunately, there are other things to do right now.
Taking back his thoughts, Xiao Lang ran into the forest without hesitation.
Shu family.
It is rare for Shu Maoting to not go out to see a doctor today. He removed the two door panels of the east house, and put one end on the threshold of the north door of the kitchen room, and put the other end on the two benches that were placed upside down. into a firm bed. The cool wind is blowing from the north, which is exceptionally cool.
He took out his little daughter who had started sleeping after dinner, put her on a simple bed, then got up to fetch water, came back and lifted her daughter’s back, and gently wiped her face.
Cool water droplets, cool wind, Shulan woke up quickly, she blinked, and after the sleepiness completely dissipated, she looked back curiously, patted the door panel below her and said, “Dad, it’s so cool here, I want to sleep here at night, okay?”
The small face that had just been wiped was red in the white, and a pair of almond eyes were black and bright, just looking at him with expectation. Shu Maoting’s heart softened, but he still smiled and said: “That’s not good, the dew is heavy in the middle of the night, you will catch a cold when you sleep here, you can lie here in the afternoon, but you have to lie down honestly to avoid falling to the ground. “
Shu Lan nodded, and seeing Shu Maoting walking away, she lay down and wanted to go back to sleep.
But she didn’t even think about it, if Shu Maoting really just wanted her to sleep outside and cool down, why would she cleanse her face?
After a while, Shu Maoting came over with a well-kept copy of the Three Character Classic, sat down on the low stool next to him, and lifted Shu Lan up again, smiling very gently: “Alan, Daddy will teach you to read characters. Bar?”
Shu Zhan, Shu Wan, and Xiao Lang were all his inspirations. Only Shu Lan was never willing to listen to his teaching. Seeing that her daughter had become a little more sensible these days, Shu Maoting once again put teaching her how to read on the agenda. The girl is so lazy. In the future, she must marry a man from a well-off family, and she will be served by a maid. Her laziness will not be so obvious. She only needs to manage the accounts. Then, she must be literate. As for whether other people look down on Shu Lan, Shu Maoting never thought about how he couldn’t marry his daughter who was like a flower, a jade, a treasure, and a treasure.
That look and tone of voice were clearly the same as when she was forced to take medicine!
Shu Lan immediately closed her eyes tightly and muttered: “I fell asleep…”
“Puchi!” Shu Wan, who had been standing behind the Westinghouse door and peeking, couldn’t hold back any longer, and suddenly burst out laughing, walking over and rubbing Shu Lan’s forehead: “You little fool, lazy and stupid, you can’t keep up. I can’t think of an excuse.”
Shu Lan pouted and ducked aside, “It hurts!”
Shu Wan sat down next to her and said softly, “Okay, okay, it’s rare that Dad is at home, so you should learn to read and read, and my sister will accompany you. !”
“Just a joke, I can’t hear it anyway!” Shu Lan said unconvincingly, she’s not a boy, she doesn’t need to read and test people like her brother, why waste precious time reading words!
Shu Maoting silently looked at the two daughters with completely different temperaments, thinking that one would be married soon, and the other had not grown up at all, and felt a little melancholy for no reason. He touched Shulan’s head and patiently persuaded: “Alan, be obedient, Dad will teach you two words today. If you learn it, Dad will let you continue to sleep.”
Shu Wan jokingly said, “Well, I’ll reward you two big Xing’er then!”
Qin shi’s helpless voice came from the east room: “You can get used to her! If I tell her, if she doesn’t obey, just hit her twice, and see if she dares to be lazy!”
In the face of coercion and temptation, what else can Shu Lan do? He had to reluctantly cheer up and follow Shu Maoting to recognize the words.
When Xiao Lang entered the door, he saw Shu Lan sitting cross-legged at the north entrance, shaking her head and reciting, “In the beginning of a person, nature is good…” The clear and pleasant voice was like a stream in the mountains, which made people feel at ease.
Shu Lan was the first to see Xiao Lang, and stood up in a rush, shouting to the outside, “Brother Wolf, you’re back!”
Shu Maoting and Shu Wan looked back at the same time, but their expressions suddenly changed, and Shu Maoting strode out to greet him, “Alang, what’s wrong with your arm?”
Xiao Lang smiled casually, “It’s alright, I met a boar in the mountains just now, and I was accidentally bumped while escaping, and the bleeding has stopped…”
“You kid, why are you running into the mountains again? Didn’t I tell you that you won’t be allowed to hunt in the future!”
Shu Maoting picked up Xiao Lang’s arm with half sleeves missing, and checked the injury solemnly. The wound was simply bandaged by Xiao Lang, but the large bloodstain showed that his injury was not serious. Shu Maoting wanted to continue to reprimand him, but felt that it was not the right time, so he had to take the person to the stove and let him be next to Shu Lan sat down and told Shu Wan to fetch water and get medicine.
Qin Shi heard the movement and rushed out, and when he saw Xiao Lang’s gray appearance and the blood-stained white cloth, his face turned pale with distress, “Well, why did you go to the mountain again? The wolves are fighting for territory, and you are taking advantage of it, do you really think you can hunt by yourself? Look at your injury, how painful it is!”
At this time, Shu Maoting had already taken apart the rags that Xiao Lang had tied himself, revealing a wound about three inches long. The flesh and blood had turned upside down, especially in the middle, it was almost a blood hole, and Qin Shihe was holding the water basin. Shu Wan, who came over, was so distressed that she couldn’t bear to look again.
“Brother Wolf, do you feel pain?” Shu Lan stared blankly at Xiao Lang’s wound. As soon as she opened her mouth, tears fell. It was fine in the morning, why did it suddenly become like this?
Xiao Lang touched Shu Lan’s head with his intact right hand, and said with a smile, “It hurt a little at first, but it’s gone now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Maoting treated his wound without gentleness. Although Xiao Lang maintained a smile, the corners of his eyes and brows twitched uncontrollably. However, he did not regret it. The more seriously he was injured, the more ruthless Xiao Shouyun and his wife would appear to outsiders.
After cleaning, applying medicine, bandaging, Shu Maoting skillfully completed a series of actions, Xiao Lang was already sweating profusely on his head.
“Alang, you promise auntie that you will never go hunting again, okay?” Qin Shi looked at the pot of blood, and said with fear, his tone was soft and full of pleading. She was really afraid that something would happen to Xiao Lang!
Xiao Lang lowered his head and said sadly: “I didn’t want to go, because I only left 10 taels of silver for them. They thought it was too little, so they let me go hunting in the mountains to make money, so I…”
It turned out to be the Zhang family who forced it!
Qin Shi’s heart was agitated, he grabbed Xiao Lang’s intact right arm and pulled him up, and strode out: “Go, auntie will ask her to reason with her, I think they are crazy about money, and they let her go. You go hunting as a child!”
“Auntie, forget it, they thought I was capable because I came back with a wolf on my back last time. Now that I’m injured, they shouldn’t force me any more.” Xiao Lang discouraged in an uncertain tone. road.
Qin Shi didn’t believe what he said, because of Zhang Shi’s cold-blooded and ruthless virtue, as long as Xiao Lang didn’t die, she would try to use him to make money. Today, she can force Xiao Lang to go up the mountain, and maybe she will dare to go up the mountain tomorrow. Sell him into the hands of human teeth! If she didn’t care, Xiao Lang might be tossed into something!
Now that he had made up his mind, no matter what Xiao Lang said, Qin Shi would not listen. They were a little unconvinced when they heard it, but the blood-stained gauze on Xiao Lang’s arm could never be faked. Thinking of the quarrel at Xiao’s house in the afternoon, everyone believed that Xiao Shouyun and his wife had abused Xiao Lang.
Xiao Yongjiang was not at home, and Xiao Shouyun was nowhere to be seen. Only Mrs. Zhang heard the movement and came out. Seeing Xiao Lang with her head lowered, her pupils shrank.
“Zhang Chunjiao, are you still human? Ah Lang gave you all the money, but you are not satisfied, and you forced him a ten-year-old boy to hunt. Look, his arm was almost broken by a wild boar. If the child hadn’t escaped, what would have happened now! If you don’t want to take care of Ah Lang, just tell me directly, and I’ll take him home now, and he won’t need you to help him in the future!”
Mrs Qin stared straight at Mrs Zhang and shouted in front of all the villagers.
The surrounding whispers disappeared, and everyone looked back and forth at the two women who were standing face to face, thinking about Qin’s words.
Shu Maoting is the only husband in the village. Usually, when a child or an adult has a headache, they always look for Shu Maoting to see a doctor. His medical skills are good, and he does not receive much money. The villagers respect him. Qin Shi is the young lady in the town, but she never put on airs after she got married. She is kind to everyone and has a good reputation in the village. In addition, the Shu family and the Xiao Shouwang family have always been close, so she just finished speaking. , Many villagers nodded again and again, thinking that Xiao Lang would definitely have a better life in Shu’s house than in Xiao Shouyun’s house, even though the latter was his uncle.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Xiao Lang can be said to have grown up with the Qin family, but Zhang has never taken the initiative to care about him once. This time, he was eager to bring people home. Yesterday, there might be people who thought the two of the Xiao family Kouzi really wants to take care of his nephew, and now, heh heh, even a blind man can hear the deeds!
Being stared at by everyone with contempt and contempt, and then looking at Xiao Lang who was standing beside Qin Shi with his head lowered, Zhang Shi only felt his chest tighten, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
After what happened in the morning, she was already afraid of Xiao Lang. She knew that she could not gain anything from him, and she was eager to get rid of this ghostly burden, but if she accepted Qin now, it would be equivalent to admitting it. Have you embezzled Xiao Lang’s ten taels of silver and forced him to go hunting in the mountains? When the time comes, who is charged with greed for money and viciousness, which daughter-in-law would dare to talk to her, and which man would dare to marry her daughter, and when Douzi grows up, who would dare to marry her daughter into their house?
Just when Mrs Zhang was about to speak out, Xiao Lang suddenly walked out, lowered her head and pulled her sleeves and said, “Auntie, you are my only relatives, and I still want to live with you. , don’t drive me away, okay? I’m still young now, and when I grow up, I’ll go hunting in the mountains, and I’ll definitely work hard to earn money!”
The pitiful tone made many onlookers blushing.
“Sorry, such poor children, who have no father or mother, treat them as relatives, even if they are beaten and scolded, they are reluctant to leave, and they beg them carefully, how cruel they are to do that kind of life-threatening death. It’s coming!”
“Daughter-in-law Shouyun, don’t blame my aunt for talking too much. Your nephew has given you all the family information. It can be seen that he treats you as a family member. Even if he can’t make money now, the ten taels of silver are enough to support him two or three. Years, when the child grows up, he will definitely be filial to you, so don’t embarrass him, right?”
“That’s right, even those of us outsiders feel sorry for him. You are a real aunt, and you really have the heart to let him move to Shu Langzhong’s house? This child knows that people will take good care of him, but he still wants to live with you. He is Taking care of the blood relationship, you should calm down and live a good life with your children. Douzi is still young, and when your daughter is married in the future, Xiao Lang can also take care of their sisters…”
Every word you say to me is to persuade Mrs Zhang to treat Xiao Lang kindly.
Zhang Shi was stunned on the spot, she couldn’t understand why they believed that she had abused Xiao Lang just based on a few shouts from Xiao Lang? She lowered her head blankly, but met Xiao Lang’s deep eyes, there was a cold light that made her tremble, as if he would eat her at any time!
The icy chill spreads up her spine, and Mrs. Zhang only felt her scalp tingle. At this moment, she decided that Xiao Lang would definitely kill her, so she would never let Xiao Lang live in their house. Compared with her life, What is that reputation?
She forced herself to calm down, and while quietly breaking away from Xiao Lang’s hand, she said to the complex-looking Qin family, “Sister Qin, our family is poor, Ah Lang should leave it to you to take care of it, wait…”
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the Xiao family’s yard, ran straight in front of Mrs. Zhang, and slapped him fiercely: “You wicked women whose conscience was eaten by dogs, how dare you abuse me behind your back? My nephew! Not to mention robbing him of his money, he even dared to force him to go hunting in the mountains. Today, his life is coming back. Otherwise, if he has three strengths and two weaknesses, see if I dare to leave you!”
Xiao Shouyun angrily glared at his wife who was knocked to the ground by him, looked back at Xiao Lang, as if provoked by his injury, then kicked Zhang Shi’s stomach fiercely, and then surrendered to the surrounding area and apologized: “My fellow villagers, I’m sorry for my dead brother. I was oversighted and let this wicked woman bully his only blood. Please rest assured, as long as I, Xiao Shouyun, have a bite to eat, I will never let my nephew work hard to earn money. Money to go!”
The most important reputation in the village, today’s affairs, no matter what the facts are, their family has to bear the blame. Since this is the case, it is better to pour all the sewage on his wife, and he can continue to be a good person.
No one expected Xiao Shouyun to come out like this, and even Mrs. Zhang didn’t expect her husband to be so ruthless. In fact, she is used to taking the blame for her husband. Of course, in the past, Xiao Shouyun would win her in advance, but today, he actually beat her in front of so many people, and beat her in front of Qin!
“I’ll fight with you!” Mrs. Zhang shouted and stood up, rushing towards Xiao Shouyun like crazy.
Xiao Shouyun is a big man after all, how could he let her beat him in vain, he stretched out his hand and hugged Mrs. Zhang tightly, dragged him into the yard, and embarrassedly said to the surrounding villagers: “I’m sorry, let everyone see a joke. , I’ll take care of this wicked woman when I look back! Ah Lang, let’s go home, Uncle will definitely seek justice for you!”
Xiao Lang lowered his head and followed behind him, and didn’t look at Qin until he turned to close the door.
Qin Shi also looked at him with distressed and puzzled eyes. Behind her, Shu Maoting led two daughters standing there, Shu Wan looked a little angry, but Shu Lan looked at him eagerly, as if someone had robbed Xing’er.
Xiao Lang’s heart tightened and he closed the door in a panic.
When he entered the yard, he didn’t bother to pay attention to the hypocritical Xiao Shouyun and the lunatic Mrs. Zhang, and ran directly back to the room that belonged to him temporarily, closed the door, and the quarrel outside the door immediately weakened. He stared at the unfamiliar roof and said sorry in his heart, no matter what, the Shu family must have been hurt by him.
Fortunately, he can go back tomorrow, no, tonight he can justifiably live in Shu’s house.
At dinner, Mrs. Zhang had calmed down, not because she was angry, but Xiao Shouyun’s words reminded her that Xiao Lang still hid a lot of money, and the most important thing at the moment is to get the money. As for Xiao Lang’s evil sect, she chose to ignore it for the time being. After all, if Xiao Lang really had the ability to harm her, he would have already done it. Why would he go hunting in the mountains and get hurt in vain?
“Mother, don’t you ask Ah Lang to come out for dinner?” Cui He looked at the closed door of the east wing, and said worriedly, she still remembered what Zhao Dalang said and told her to be nice to Xiao Lang, but it’s a pity that the chickens are flying and dogs are jumping. There was no chance at all to get close to him.
Zhang Shi slammed down his chopsticks, raised his head and glared at her: “Are you blind? Do you see that the food on the table is superfluous? If you really love him, then take your share. Bring it to him, something that can’t be seen!”
Cui He immediately lowered his head and didn’t dare to make a sound anymore.
Xiao Yongjiang and Xiao Shouyun continued to eat as usual, Lianhua pursed her lips and snickered in schadenfreude, Douzi looked around, and finally laughed like Lianhua.
Cui He moved for a while, picked up the bowl and went out to eat, there was only a piece of tortilla in the bowl.
Mrs. Zhang didn’t stop her. There weren’t many dishes on the table. With one person less, the others could eat more, even though Cui He didn’t dare to eat it.
After the meal, the others either went out to enjoy the shade, or went to bed early, Cui He carried the half cake she had left behind and knocked on Xiao Lang’s door: “Alang, elder sister has brought you dinner, you open the door. She thought to herself, Xiao Lang would be surprised when he came out to see only half a cake, and when she explained it softly, he would definitely be moved.
Xiao Lang put his hands behind his head and looked at the shadows of the trees outside the window. No matter what Cui He said, he didn’t think he heard it.
Cui He’s hand hurt when he knocked, but Xiao Lang still didn’t see him coming out, so call someone, afraid that Mrs Zhang would come out and steal the cake, so she had no choice but to leave.
The moon climbed up the top of the tree, Xiao Lang quietly pushed the door of the door and walked out of the Xiao family’s door without making any sound from beginning to end.
Mrs. Zhang has always slept soundly, but when there was an uneasy cooing sound in the yard, she immediately opened her eyes, sat up, listened for a moment, and made sure she heard it right, she hurriedly went down to put on her shoes , while pushing and snoring her husband: “Get up, it seems like a thief has come to our house!”
Xiao Shouyun dodged to the side impatiently, and muttered in a daze: “What thief, don’t be surprised, it must be a rat who ran in, don’t believe it, go and see…” Then he began to whimper.
Zhang Shi can’t wait to throw a bucket of water on him, what else can she expect him to do!
Go out by yourself, what if it’s a thief? But if she doesn’t go out, will all her chickens be stolen?
In the end, the fear of chickens outweighed the fear of thieves. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly lit the oil lamp and opened the kitchen door with a kitchen knife.
The commotion in the chicken coop stopped abruptly, and then, through the bright moonlight, Mrs. Zhang clearly saw a few slender things running out of the chicken coop.
It’s a weasel!
Zhang Shi was shocked and ran to the chicken coop in a hurry.
There are fifteen chickens in the house, and now only three are huddled in a corner, and the rest are all lying in the scattered chicken feathers, especially the fattest rooster, whose whole body was bloodied, and most of his body was bitten by a weasel. !
“God **** it, what life have I done to make such a bunch of beasts steal my chickens!” Mrs Zhang clapped her legs and cried, turned around and shouted into the house, “You bastard, We’re still sleeping, our chickens are all eaten…” Before she could finish speaking, she stopped abruptly, as if she had seen a ghost, she stared at the dark shadow standing under the eaves of the east wing, who wasn’t Xiao Lang?
“Why are you here?” Mr. Zhang asked instinctively. In the middle of the night, what did he do when he didn’t go to bed, did he also hear the movement outside?
Xiao Lang stepped out of the shadows, his deep eyes reflecting the cold moonlight. He looked at the messy chicken coop, smiled suddenly, and said to Mrs Zhang in a low voice, “I’ll see if those weasels have eaten all your chickens, um, there are three left, and tomorrow I’ll go to the mountains to catch another one. Come on, that should be enough, right?”
If Zhang Shi was struck by lightning, it turns out that those weasels were brought in by Xiao Lang?
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was about to erupt again, Xiao Lang suddenly shouted: “Auntie, your chicken was eaten by a weasel, what does it have to do with me, why do you say it was the weasel I brought in? Well, I know , you don’t want me to live in your house, then I’ll leave now, okay!”
While shouting, he strode out.
The person was gone, but the voice of anger and grievance spread all over the streets.
In the ears of others, it was anger and grievance, but in the ears of Zhang, it turned into arrogance and provocation!
The chickens that were raised so hard are gone. This is like the last straw on the camel’s body. Mr. Zhang, who was tortured during the day, finally lost his last sense of reason, and chased out with an oil lamp: “You A little bastard, it’s crazy, you even let animals eat my chickens, if I don’t kill you today, I won’t be named Zhang!”
As if an order was given, the lights in the village households turned on one by one, and there was a creaking sound of opening the door one after another.
Xiao Shouyun was finally woken up, he didn’t even put on his shoes, he dragged and ran out. Looking at the disfigured chicken coop that had been harmed, he couldn’t figure out for a while whether it was Mrs. Zhang’s madness to take Xiao Lang’s anger, or whether Xiao Lang really did something, but no matter what, he had to hurry up and chase him back. I’ve lost enough face during the day, and if things get bigger, I can’t handle it!
But before he ran out the door, a heart-piercing roar cut through the sky and came from afar: “Auntie, don’t burn my house!”
With a shudder in his heart, Xiao Shouyun almost fell to the ground, no, how could his wife do such a thing?
It seemed that he was ridiculing his luck. As soon as the thought fell, a brilliant fire burst into the air. Xiao Shouyun looked at the fire, and finally couldn’t hold it any longer. He fell powerlessly to the ground, that idiot, He actually set fire to Xiao Lang’s house!
On the other side of the village, Xiao Lang stood silently in the courtyard, watching the three familiar thatched cottages blaze with raging fires.
A pair of gentle hands suddenly rested on his shoulders, and he heard Qin’s gentle but powerful words: “Alang is not afraid, the house is gone, you will live at aunt’s house in the future, don’t worry, no one can bully you anymore.”
In this world, there are always people who are trying to plot against you, but there are also people who sincerely care for you, no matter what you do.
Xiao Lang suddenly felt uncomfortable, he turned around and threw himself into Qin’s arms.
That night, Xiao Shouyun’s house was attacked by a weasel, and he lost more than half of the chicken. The angry Zhang Shi spread all his grievances on Xiao Lang, whose arm was injured, and slandered that those weasels were deliberately put into her house by Xiao Lang. Xiao Lang couldn’t bear the humiliation, and vowed never to stay with his uncle’s house again. He ran home overnight, but Mrs. Zhang chased after him with a lantern and wanted to kill Xiao Lang. Destroyed three thatched cottages.
Of course, whether the house caught fire was an accident, or was it deliberately set on fire by the Zhang family, the villagers who sighed chose to believe the latter.
Since then, Xiao Shouyun and his wife have been scolded in the village, and Xiao Lang no longer wants to recognize this kind of person as a family member. Fortunately, the kind Shu family is willing to take him in. So, Xiao Lang began to live in the Shu family as an orphan.
The author has something to say: If anyone is too little, I will fight him and her! !
Have a great weekend, ╭(╯3╰)╮!
