The man sat in panic on the simple bed underground.
He lived in this house day and night, and he didn't even know there was such a place under his yard.
His brain was so stupid that he couldn't change his mind at all.
Xiao Yu didn't ask anything immediately. He let him calm down for a while. He and Su Luo looked around in this underground room and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
Su Luo pursed her lips and told Xiao Yu in a low voice, "Stinky tofu and soybean curd were both made by my mother at home. They taste exactly the same, but I have never asked my mother where she learned them."
Xiao Yu nodded.
"Is there anyone familiar to you here?"
Su Luo shook her head.
After they came in, several more candles were lit in the room, making it bright, but she found nothing.
"Assuming this person is your mother, it's strange. If she wants to hide her traces, why would she make stinky tofu? Isn't she afraid of being exposed? After all, I have never heard of this kind of thing, not to mention ordinary people.
.
But if she didn't care, why did she create such an underground secret room?
What is the relationship between the original old lady in this courtyard and her?"
These cannot be guessed by guessing.
Ping An has sent someone to find the old lady who originally lived in this yard. He will bring her back later and ask again.
Su Luo and Xiao Yu were chatting in small words, and the man over there let out a long sigh, rubbed his face with two rough hands, and turned to look at Xiao Yu.
"My mother, after Mr. Zhao and his friends moved away, she suddenly became able to make soy tofu and stinky tofu."
When he opened his mouth, both Su Luo and Xiao Yu looked at him.
The man's eyes were filled with confusion and fear.
"When she was just making stinky tofu, her speech and other things were different from before, but she said she missed the ladies from Mr. Zhao's family, and she accidentally brought a few words from Mr. Zhao's family.
Who would doubt anything about his own mother?
Since my mother stopped working at Mr. Zhao's house and started selling things on the streets, my family's life has actually become easier.
My mother's small business seems to be good. She can bring some food to the children every day when she comes back. Sometimes it's candy, sometimes it's meat buns. She also gives some of our daughters-in-law pocket money, not much, every month.
Each person is given dozens of copper coins.
The wives are very happy.
During the holidays, my mother buys meat and vegetables for the family, pulls cloth for the adults and children, and lets the daughters-in-law make new clothes for everyone.
The money my mother earned from her own small business must not have been much, so all of it was used to subsidize us, and everyone was very happy."
He took a deep breath and rubbed his face again.
I used to feel happy and never thought much about it.
But now that there was an underground room in his yard, he couldn't help but think about it.
"My mother used to love eating cress, but then she suddenly stopped eating it. She used to starch clothes in the early years, and her fingers were in unbearable pain in the winter, but I haven't heard from her in the past few years.
"
He stared blankly at Xiao Yu and Su Luo.
"My mother...is she my mother?"
He asked this sentence.
This is the answer Xiao Yu wants to hear, let him doubt it himself.
But now that I heard it, I feel unbearable.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t had a father since a very early age, maybe it’s because Eryu has lost his father since he was a child, and he’s lost his mother, and he’s lost his brother, or maybe it’s because Su Luo has lost his parents since he was very young...
He sighed and patted the man on the shoulder.
"As long as you live a happy life, no matter what, what she brings to you is happiness, right?"
The man looked up at Xiao Yu.
The look in his eyes was complicated and sad.
He has a stupid mouth and a stupid heart.
I don't know what to say at this time, I just know that my mind and heart are in a mess.
Soon, footsteps were heard outside.
A peaceful voice came in, "Your Majesty, I brought it back."
Ping An sent the old lady from the ground to the pit.
As soon as she came in, the man immediately stood up and opened his mouth, but she didn't say that sentence.
There was no shock or surprise on her mother's face.
Ping An walked to Xiao Yu and replied in a low voice, "I found it at the door of the bun shop. I was very calm when I brought it back."
This is when I know that this place has been discovered.
Xiao Yu raised his eyes to look at the mother-in-law opposite.
"How should I address you?"
Is it mother-in-law?
Or grandma?
The mother-in-law glanced at her son first, and then said to Chao Xiaoyu, "The commoner woman is his mother."
This is grandma, not mother-in-law.
Xiao Yu nodded.
Grandma said: "That man gave me one hundred taels of silver."
The man's eyes suddenly widened, "Mother!"
All the sounds were broken.
Grandma said: "When she found me, my little granddaughter was about to die of illness."
The man paused. His mother was talking about his daughter. She did suffer from a serious illness a few years ago and almost died.
After taking medicine for a month, there was no improvement and I was just hanging on for a breath.
The family gathered together and his mother made the decision to die.
It’s not that I don’t want to be treated, and it’s not that I don’t love this little granddaughter.
On the contrary, I really want to cure it and love it very much.
But it can’t be cured.
I took this medicine for a month with no improvement, and all the money I had saved at home was spent.
Although the other two daughters-in-law didn't say anything, they definitely had opinions in their hearts.
And there is indeed no hope.
That night, he and his wife held their daughter's barely breathing body and cried heartbreakingly.
In the middle of the night, his mother suddenly entered their house and took a pill. She said that she suddenly remembered that this pill had been obtained from Mr. Zhao's house before.
Don't worry about whether the disease can be cured or not, just feed the child and give it a try.
He and his wife were so weak from crying that they could not move. His mother got a bowl of hot water, dissolved the pills, and gave them to the child.
Only half an hour.
The child's breathing has obviously stabilized.
The hot temperature on my body also subsided.
At that time, he and his wife almost went to Master Zhao's house to kowtow to Master Zhao overnight.
But his mother stopped them and said not to disturb Mr. Zhao, she could just go and thank him the next day.
After that, he took the pills for another three days, and his daughter's illness miraculously improved.
They didn't think much about it before, but since the King of Nanhuai came to Jieshi County and exposed the scam of the medicine hall, saying that the medicine in the medicine hall was a money trap and was not designed to treat people's diseases, they gradually came to understand.
The grandma looked at the man and said, "That pill was given to me by her. In the middle of the night, she suddenly appeared in my room and gave me the pills and money..."
Grandma didn't say how she reacted at that time, how she responded to it, and how she accepted it in the end.
He just said: "She only has one request: to live in our house. As my identity, she and I will take turns being your mother."
"What does she want to do?" Xiao Yu asked.
Grandma said: "She is looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Her husband."
Su Luo's eyes suddenly widened.
Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Found it?"
Grandma shook her head, "No, but she was discovered by you, so she left."
"Why did you leave when we found out?" Xiao Yu asked again.
Grandma looked at Su Luo and only glanced at her, "I don't know that."
As she spoke, she walked to the corner, squatted down, dug on the ground, and quickly dug out a jar from the ground and lifted it out.
"This is hers. She took it with her when she came. She didn't have time to take it away when she left, so she kept it."
