Chapter 123 The secret of the rainy night
On this day, it was raining heavily in the sky, dark clouds covered the roof, and the sky was dark, and even people felt a little depressed.
"Xiaoshuang, what plan do you have? Why haven't you done anything yet?" In the house, Yun Dachuan asked Yun Xiaoshuang with a worried look on his face, fearing that Yun Xiaoshuang would not be able to solve the problem. After a long time, Mo Xuelou completely went bankrupt.
After hearing his words, Yun Xiaoshuang did not answer immediately. She walked to the window and looked outside before saying, "The weather is good today."
"The weather is good?" Yun Dachuan looked out in wonder, and saw that it was raining heavily outside, and he really couldn't see anything good.
"Dad, don't worry. I said there is a way, there will definitely be a way." Yun Xiaoshuang reached out to the window and let the rain fall on her hands. She felt the slight coolness in her palm and said, "Everything is ready is the only thing that is the east wind. Now the east wind is coming, so let's start now!"
When Yun Dachuan heard this, he suddenly asked excitedly, "Do you need me to do anything?"
Yun Xiaoxue also said, "Sister, please give me what you need to do."
"No need to do anything, just watch the show." Yun Xiaoshuang shook her head and said with a smile.
After saying that, he paused slightly, looked at Zhao Mocheng and asked, "Just do what I told you before, is it OK?"
"Yes." Zhao Mocheng gave a positive answer.
"Okay!" Yun Xiaoshuang clapped her hands excitedly, looked at the sky again, and murmured to herself, "It seems that the rain should stop by the night."
"The rain will stop, but the sky is still gloomy." Zhao Mocheng intercepted.
"That would be better." Yun Xiaoshuang explained with satisfaction and looked at Zhao Mocheng, "Then start now, how about it?"
"No problem." Zhao Mocheng nodded to Yun Xiaoshuang, greeted everyone, and then went out.
In the room, everyone except Yun Xiaoshuang was a little confused and asked Hong: "Sister-in-law, what are my cousin doing?"
After Zhao Hong asked, the others also pricked up their ears and listened to Yun Xiaoshuang's answer.
"He went to do what I assigned him." Yun Xiaoshuang blinked and said mysteriously, "What's the matter? Keep it confidential for now!"
"Xiao Shuang, what you said makes us more and more curious." Uncle Zhao Er said, and Aunt Zhao Er also echoed with kindness.
Yun Xiaoshuang laughed and said, "Uncle Second Aunt, I can't tell you now. The more curious you are, the more exciting the show will be later."
"Can't say it, can you reveal it a little?" Yun Xiaoxue asked.
Yun Xiaoshuang thought for a while and said, "Yes, I can tell you that after tonight, there will be no Fengchun Tower in Lizhou City again, and our Moxue Tower business will return to the past, even more prosperous than before."
"So amazing!" Yun Xiaoxue was shocked, and her curiosity was completely aroused by Yun Xiaoshuang.
But Yun Xiaoshuang just didn't say it, but asked them to go to the yamen to wait.
It’s raining outside now, and it’s evening again, why are you doing in the yamen?
Yun Dachuan, Yun Xue, Zhao Er, Zhao Er Aunt, and Zhao Hong didn't understand why, but they always trusted Yun Xiaoshuang, and then he went there obediently after hearing what she said.
Yun Xiaoshuang stayed to do some things, and after that, she also went to the yamen.
Outside the house, the rain gradually became less, but the sky was still gloomy, and the dark clouds seemed to be pressing on people's heads, making people feel breathless.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
At this time, Qingshi Town, Qingshui County, under Lizhou City, was quiet in Luhua Village.
People in the village lived a life with God's face. Today, the weather was not good, and heavy rain continued, so people could not work on the ground. They had dinner and rested on the kang very early.
At the end of Luhua Village, next to a willow tree, there is a broken and small courtyard. The wall has been disrepaired and cracked. When washed away by rain, it becomes even more shaky, as if it will fall down at all times.
But this family doesn't seem to care and does not mean to be trimmed.
At this time, they were talking in the room, as if they were afraid that others would hear what they were talking about. They pressed their voices so low that they could not hear them if someone stood by the window.
What is even more surprising is that in this house, there are candles printed on the thin window paper.
Most people in the countryside are frugal, and few people buy candles for lighting. Even if they use candles, they are really not allowed. When there is an urgent matter, lighting candles while chatting is a very luxurious thing for many people.
From this we can see that the economic situation of this family is not bad, but since it is not bad, why not repair the wall? It is really strange.
"Mom, we have money now. Should we repair the courtyard wall?" Someone asked this in the room.
The person who asked about it was a middle-aged woman with a face that was as round as the moon, and she was actually the one Xie Liu who had confronted Yun Xiaoshuang in the court.
The person she asked about was Mrs. Xie, whose face was wrinkled, her eyes drooped, and she looked a little sarcastic. It turned out that the family lived in this dilapidated courtyard.
Next to the two, there were three children of different ages sitting, and the children were filled with candies, toys, snacks, and various jerky meat.
These things reflect an attractive luster under the candlelight. Such expensive things are very incompatible with the broken courtyard wall outside the house.
"No, it's a little early, I'll talk about it later." Old Mrs. Xie replied, "Everyone in the village knows that our family is poor. Since my son passed away, the family lacks important labor force and has spent a lot of money on funeral expenses. Everyone thinks that we are even food and clothing are a problem. If we suddenly take out the money to repair the house, it will definitely cause suspicion."
After hearing this, Xie Liu thought about it and felt that what her mother-in-law said made sense, so he nodded and then asked, "Mom, then when will we have to wait?"
Old Mrs. Xie thought for a while and said, "Wait for another month, and then I will say that I have borrowed some money from a distant relative in my mother's house."
"Okay, just do what you said to me." Xie Liu nodded and then told his three children, "You three must remember, and you feel that you can't talk nonsense after you go out!"
"I know, mom, don't worry. We will never say that our father is in poor health and is about to die. In order to get the 100 taels of silver given by Mr. Xu, he deliberately bought Mo Xuelou's medicinal food and added medicinal materials with similar medicinal effects to it, and died early." Xie Dabao, the oldest in the middle grade of the three children, promised while gnawing on the chicken legs.
The two younger ones also agreed.
"Speak quietly!" Xie Liu glared at Xie Dabao, opened the door vigilantly and looked outside. When he found that there was no one outside, he felt relieved, closed the door again, and returned to the kang.
"Don't be surprised. Our family is at the end of the village and is a distance away from most of the people in the village. It's so dark and it's raining outside, so no one will come to visit us." Old Mrs. Xie was dissatisfied with Xie Liu. After saying that, she turned to coax herself, Xie Dabao, for fear that Xie Dabao would be scared.
Xie Dabao was very brave. Not only was he not scared, he also mocked her mother: "Grandma is right, you are so timid. Think about it, even if someone comes, you have to knock on our yard door first. How could you stand directly at the door of our room?"
After being ridiculed by her mother-in-law and son, Xie Liu was a little embarrassed and explained: "I'm not afraid that the boss of Mo Xuelou will send someone to come. I heard that the boss is very capable and even Lord Zhishou knows it."
"Swish! So what? I've learned that Master Zhishou has too much business. If she really has a good relationship with Master Zhishou, how could she have no choice but to do anything to us?" Old Mrs. Xie sneered and looked down on Xie Liu's statement.
After saying that, seeing that Xie Liu's expression was a little dissatisfied, he continued, "Look, the boss herself is not sure if there is any problem with her medicinal food. I'm afraid she really thinks that my son died after taking her medicinal food. Otherwise, more than half a month has passed and he hasn't caused us trouble? I think she is guilty!"
"Yes, every woman's family is really unreliable to do business, she should know it." Xie Liu nodded and was moved by her mother-in-law.
After a while, he began to shed tears again: "I'm sorry for my husband. The doctor said that he had a lifespan of more than two months. For us, he had not even had those two months and died early."
When talking about his son, Mrs. Xie was in a bad mood, but she reluctantly comforted herself and her daughter-in-law: "Well, sooner or later, he will go to the underworld. It's worth it to exchange his mother and children for money that can spend a lifetime! We have a good life, and he will be happy if he sees it underground."
"Yes, mom, we have money now. How about buying some paper money for my husband tomorrow to make his life better in the underworld?" Xie Liu asked, wiping away his tears.
Old Mrs. Xie said, "Yes, the ghost messenger in the underworld is very powerful. I will burn more for Fugui, so he can handle some evil messenger and be reincarnated as a good family in the next life."
Xie Liu said aloof and discussed with Mrs. Xie who would go to the county town to buy paper money tomorrow and who would stay at home to take care of the children.
After hearing what they said seriously, the three children were curious. Xie Dabao asked, "Grandma, is there really a secret misunderstanding?"
"Of course, there are not only evil things, but also the underworld, the cow head and horse face, Meng Po, the Ten Palaces of Hell, and the judges to determine whether a person is right or wrong." Old Mrs. Xie answered with certainty. The old man always believed in such a thing.
Old Mrs. Xie is very authoritative in this family. She says whatever she says. The children nodded with enlightenment.
"It's so interesting, what else? Grandma, please say more!" Xie Dabao shook Old Mrs. Xie's arm and said coquettishly.
Old Mrs. Xie hushed: "It's dawn to tell you, and it's too late to say that these things can easily attract dirty things."
Xie Xiaobao said oh, and obediently stopped asking.
"Closing it out quickly, it's time to go to bed." Old Mrs. Xie spoke again.
Xie Liu responded, put everything into the cabinet, put it to the deepest part, swept the kang, and rested.
In the dark night, I quickly remembered the sound of everyone's gradually distant breathing.
But Xie Dabao suddenly thought of a question: If a judge in the underworld decides right or wrong, then he will judge whether his father is doing right or wrong? After their family dies, how will they be judged right or wrong?
