"Daughter, your father hasn't come back yet. Your uncle Wang Gui and your father left together. Can you come back?" Po Liu asked in a panic.

"We'll find out if mother comes back or not. We can't just do nothing and waste away. Uncle Wang Gui is going to get in." Kapok replied.

Mrs. Liu agreed to go to Wang Gui's house with her daughter.

Wang Gui's home is at the east end of Taohua Village, and the two of them arrived there in just a cup of tea.

Kapok stepped forward to check, "Mom, come and see, the door is ajar. Is Uncle Wang Gui back?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu regained her hope. She walked over and pushed the door open.

The mother and daughter walked towards the courtyard. Wang Gui, who was in the house, heard the commotion and went out to look. When he saw Granny Liu and her daughter, his eyes lit up and he felt a little happy.

"Yun sister, you're here," Wang Gui shouted, looking excited.

There was a flash of surprise in Kapok's eyes. Uncle Wang Gui's calling her mother didn't seem to avoid suspicion.

"Brother Wang has said it several times. I have several grandsons. It's not good for others to hear you call me Yunmei when you were young. You should follow your brother Mu and call me sister-in-law. It sounds good to you," reminded Po Liu.

With.

Originally, there was no news from her family. Now that Wang Gui came back and called her like that, it was inevitable that someone would gossip about her.

"Okay, I will listen to you and call you sister-in-law," Wang Gui replied. He didn't want to make Mrs. Liu angry.

"Brother Wang, your brother Mu went to the city to work with you, why are you coming back alone now? Why didn't your brother Mu come back?" Mrs. Liu asked directly without mincing words.

For more than three months, she had not wanted to know the whereabouts of the man at home all the time, and she was almost going crazy with anxiety.

When Wang Gui heard this, his whole body froze, his eyes seemed to dodge for a long time and he was speechless.

"Uncle Wang Gui, do you know the whereabouts of my father? Our whole family misses him very much, especially since my mother has not heard from my father. She cannot eat well or sleep well. Uncle Wang Gui, if you know the whereabouts of my father, you will

Tell my mother," Kapok said hurriedly.

Wang Gui's body trembled, his expression suddenly became lost, and his eyes were very sad. He moved his lips a few times and couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu realized that she had a bad idea, and her whole body started to tremble and she asked, "Brother Wang, just say it if you have anything to say. Is something wrong with you, Brother Mu? It's okay, just tell me, I can hold on."

"

"Sister-in-law, Brother Mu and I did go into the city together. After entering the city, we met with the employer. The mason we wanted to be this time lived in Anping County, another county. There were several wealthy families building houses. They found a good mason at a price of

It is also twice as high as in our city.

Brother Mu and I were very excited when we heard it. Brother Mu said that he was going back home and told you that he was going to go out to do some work, and when he came back and made money, he would build a house.

The employer was in a hurry so he didn't make the trip and promised to send someone to send a letter to Feng Jia to report the matter.

Brother Mu and I agreed, and took our employer's carriage directly to Anping County without having time to go home.

I never imagined that I met a horse bandit on the road, not only robbed money, but also stabbed people. Brother Mu bravely went out to fight the horse bandit to save the people in the car, and was... hacked to death." Wang Gui said with excitement.

Cried out.

"How could this happen?" Mrs. Liu muttered with dull eyes, and her whole body was shaking violently.

She couldn't accept the reality that the old man was hacked to death. After waiting for such a long time to get such news, her heart was dead and her thoughts were gone. Mrs. Liu was very depressed, and her energy seemed to be drained out in an instant.

Kapok supported her mother, feeling extremely distressed. When she heard about her father's death, she felt no better than her mother.

It's just that her mother still wants her to comfort and take care of her, so she doesn't allow herself to fall.

"My sister-in-law blames me for not protecting my brother well. Don't worry, sister-in-law, even if my brother is not here, I will still be able to take good care of you from now on.

Later, when the government officials came, all the horse bandits were frightened and ran away. Half of them ran away and half of them were caught. There were a few people left who helped dig a hole and buried my brother. We continued to work with our employer in Anping County.

, I have earned a lot of silver, and my sister-in-law will give it all to you. If my brother is not here, you can use it to supplement the family income." Wang Gui said, taking out the bag of silver from his arms.

The heavy silver bag containing all his savings was stuffed into Granny Liu's arms.

"Brother Wang, this is your hard-earned money. How can I ask for it? My son and daughter are all good people. I can make money without spending it on you." Mrs. Liu pushed.

No one can understand the grief in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, if I make money, I can take you to a big place for medical treatment and find the best doctor to treat your cough. Even if my brother-in-law is not here, I can take good care of you." Wang Gui looked at Po Liu with burning eyes.

Speak from your heart.

After hearing this, Kapok looked at Uncle Wang Gui strangely. Uncle Wang Gui wanted to take advantage of her mother's absence to attack her mother.

She had to doubt whether what Uncle Wang Gui said was true or false, and she still had to continue to investigate the matter about her father.

"No need. My daughter studied medicine with Dr. Zhao. Acupuncture cured my old problem. Brother Wang, you can still keep this money for you to marry a wife. You are already a grown man. It's not a problem to be like this all the time." Liu

My mother-in-law refused again.

It's not that she doesn't understand the meaning of Wang Gui's words, it's just that she can only hold Mu Huhu in her heart.

Wang Gui's heart ached and his eyes were lonely.

He originally thought that Yunmei would accept him if Muhuhu couldn't come back, but he didn't expect that he would simply refuse without leaving any thought for him.

"Uncle Wang Gui, can you tell me specifically where my father is buried? As the saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots. I will go back and talk to my second brother and ask him to pick up my father's body so that he can be buried alive." Kapok asked tentatively.

At the same time, she was also observing Wang Gui's reaction, and sure enough, she saw his eyes dodge, and there seemed to be something hidden in it.

"Mu Yatou, you are so filial. Your father must be very happy to know that I know you. Hey! It's all my fault. I was so sad at the time that I didn't remember exactly where your father was buried." Wang Gui replied with a guilty look on his face.

"In this case, my mother is in a bad mood, so I will take her back first," Kapok said, helping her mother out of the yard.

She didn't see Wang Gui's restrained expression, his face was ferocious, and he was brewing something in his heart.

It's not bad enough that Yun Mei refuses to agree to him. She has sons and daughters to rely on.

If they were gone, Yun Mei would have no one to rely on, so why not beg him to protect her.

When Wang Gui thought about it, he went crazy.

Kapok didn't see his ferocious expression, and her heart was filled with worries for her mother.

Mrs. Liu was indeed greatly shocked by this incident. She lost all energy when she returned home. She seemed to have suffered a serious illness and fell ill on the bed.

A fever broke out that night. Kapok was worried about her mother's body and bones, so she couldn't sleep well at night and came to her mother's house to check on her.

When she touched Mrs. Liu's forehead, it was very hot, and she kept talking nonsense: "Old man, why did you just leave me and leave? Wait a minute. You are the most afraid of being alone. I will go down and accompany you right now."
