Seeing her embarrassment that she had never seen the world, Ma Huilan couldn't help but sarcastically said: "How is it? Sister-in-law Niu, have you looked carefully? Is your husband Niu Jia hiding here?"
Mrs. Niu glared at her fiercely and shouted around: "Master? Where are you? Come out quickly!"
She looked around the house carefully, and when she saw that there was no place to hide anyone, she walked out of the house dejectedly.
Passing by her, Ma Huilan said in a low voice: "I know you are jealous of me, but with your appearance as a man, is he worthy of entering my house? He is only worthy of rolling haystacks in the stable with a shrew like you!"
"
Sister-in-law Niu stared at Ma Huilan, her teeth were numb with hatred, but she couldn't find a word to scold her back.
Ma Huilan looked at her dissatisfied and dissatisfied look, and said in a sinister tone: "Hey, it seems you are still not convinced? Okay, since you made such a big fuss today, when others heard it, they mistakenly thought that I really had an affair with your husband.
Then today I will take you to check all the rooms in this courtyard. To give you peace of mind and to give myself a clean slate!"
When Ye Guming heard this, he hesitated and quickly interrupted: "Madam, why do you have to make such a fuss? Isn't it just a joke for the brothers?"
Ma Huilan frowned slightly and said resentfully: "Master, this is wrong! If you don't let her look for it, I'm afraid that in the future, if her chickens and dogs are lost, we will be the ones to blame. Why don't we let her look for it?"
, I’m so heartbroken!”
Ye Guming hesitated for a moment and felt that what she said was reasonable, so he stopped trying to stop her.
Immediately, the three members of the Ye family took Mrs. Niu to look at all the unused guest rooms in the courtyard: each room was not big, and the decorations were all the same. It was basically clear as soon as they opened the door, and no one could be seen.
.
Afterwards, a group of people came to the house where Ye Guming lived alone in seclusion on weekdays: the facilities in this house were very simple, except for a variety of daily necessities, the rest were weapons and a table of sword skills that he had drawn by himself
Map, there is no place to hide people.
Next, the group went to Ye Qingfeng's room: the facilities in the boy's room were simple and clean. There was a thick stack of books on the desk, including "Zhuangzi" and "The Analects of Confucius", as well as a stack of exercises.
Copybook of words.
It can be seen that the owner of the house loves to read. Only the few rare swords hanging on the wall can tell that this is a room for martial arts practitioners.
Looking at the books on the table, Ye Guming frowned and scolded: "You don't want to take the top exam. Reading these books is useless. It will only distract you and affect your attainments in martial arts. You will still be there in the future."
It’s better to see less!”
Ye Qingfeng lowered his head, blushed and said softly: "Yes, I understand!"
But Ma Huilan came over and comforted her softly: "Feng'er, your father is a rough man and doesn't know how to write or write. You must not blame him. What you did is right. In the future, you will be a man of both civil and military skills.
You’re not a cowardly man! Even if you don’t take the first prize, you still have to read the books of sages. Mom supports you.”
Ye Qingfeng looked at his mother gratefully and nodded lightly.
When Ye Guming heard Ma Huilan speak, he didn't dare to talk back. He could only sigh, turn around and leave with his hands behind his hands.
The group of people walked downstairs holding umbrellas and arrived at the door of Lu Ning's room.
The four of them stood at the door and stopped. Ma Huilan was about to take steps to knock on the door.
But Ye Qingfeng stopped her immediately and said in a low voice: "Mother, I think it's better to forget it. How can we go to the young gang leader's room to search for a man?"
When Mrs. Niu saw him blocking her, she couldn't help but retorted: "How come I didn't see my brother stop me when I went to other people's houses? When I came to the young gang leader's door alone, you resisted! Could it be that you and the young gang leader have an affair?
Can’t do it?”
Ye Qingfeng glared at Sister-in-law Niu and shouted in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Niu, don't slander anyone! The young gang leader is a woman who has not left the court! How can you, a pure and pure person, allow you to insult me here?"
Seeing her son like this, Ma Huilan suddenly smiled and came out to smooth things over: "Feng'er is right, let alone our young gang leader, even an ordinary woman can't just enter her boudoir.
Come in! What’s more, we are searching for a man! Doing this will indeed damage the honor of our daughter’s family. I think we should go
Let’s search other rooms!”
Sister-in-law Niu has taken all the limelight today, how can she give up now!
She put her hand on her waist and said reluctantly: "You asked me to come here to find someone. Now that I have found him, do you still want to regret it? What happened to the young gang leader? Can the young gang leader hide a man? I still have to go in and take a look today.
look!"
With that said, Mrs. Niu pulled away from Ma Huilan, went to bang on the door, pulled her neck and shouted: "Young Gang Leader, open the door!"
The sound was so loud that people in the yard were afraid that they couldn't hear it.
Ye Qingfeng rushed over in one step, stretched out his hands to block the door, and refused to give in: "Sister-in-law Niu, we think you are pitiful, so we let you search people everywhere. Don't push yourself too far! Today, I, Ye Qingfeng, live in the young gang leader's house.
If you are here, you can’t get in!”
Ye Guming originally thought it was inappropriate, but after listening to Sister Niu's words, he felt that it made sense.
He frowned and looked at Ye Qingfeng, and said sternly: "Feng'er, don't stop me! Although the young gang leader is a woman, as the leader of the caravan, she has the responsibility to clear away the grievances of the caravan brothers! Besides, people in the world don't stick to trivial matters.
, she will definitely understand our move!"
When Mrs. Niu saw someone supporting her, she immediately straightened her back and looked up at Ye Qingfeng, as if she was determined to win.
At this time, she didn't know whether she was doing this to find Niu Jia, or just to vent her anger!
As the saying goes, great kindness is like great hatred!
The Niu couple knew that they could not repay the unconditional help that the caravan gave them. They could only be obedient and work hard, but they could not repay even a ten thousandth of it.
This sense of powerlessness with no end in sight, once encountering friction in daily life, will evolve into an emotion, a dissatisfaction that if you save my life, you are deliberately bullying me.
In addition, Sister Niu has a kind of crazy jealousy towards Ma Huilan from the bottom of her heart, which makes this dissatisfaction continue to increase. Once there is any opportunity for revenge, she will naturally not let it go easily!
When Ma Huilan saw Ye Guming coming forward, she couldn't hold on any longer, so she had to stand aside silently.
When Ye Qingfeng saw that his father was so stubborn and his mother was hiding aside, he stopped arguing. But suddenly his knees softened and he knelt in front of his parents.
The Ye couple were really shocked by this sudden move. Both of them felt distressed and tried to hold their son.
However, Ye Qingfeng stopped them and said, "Father, mother, if we don't even trust our gang leader and want to humiliate her with outsiders, that would be disloyal. What kind of shame would there be in wandering around in the world? Qingfeng is a man, if
If you can't even protect a woman's reputation, that's unjust. What kind of man is he? If my father insists on breaking in today, please grant death to my unfaithful and unjust son! The child will not give in even an inch!
"
At this time, Mrs. Niu was completely dumbfounded: although she had never understood what loyalty was, she never thought that she just wanted to go into the house to find someone, but she actually made it so that someone wanted to commit suicide!
Seeing her son's determination, Ma Huilan's eyes immediately turned red: "I, Ma Huilan, have really accumulated great virtues in my previous life, and that's why I gave birth to such a good son who values love and justice!"
After saying that, she looked at Ye Guming with tears in her eyes, and said bitterly: "Master, what Feng'er said is right, and what he did is right! If you still insist on it, you will harm your son, and then I won't be able to live anymore!" "
Ye Guming was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and stared at the mother and son for a long time, then ignored them, turned around and walked away.
Ye Qingfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then he bowed three times to Ye Guming's back.
Ma Huilan helped him up and asked distressedly: "Feng'er, your father already obeys you, why are you kowtowing?"
However, Ye Qingfeng looked ashamed and murmured: "The child has angered his father, it is really unfilial!"
Ma Huilan felt relieved and quickly got up and led him to catch up with Ye Guming and walked forward again.
The footsteps of the four people gradually faded away. The girl holding a sword in the room and leaning against the door slowly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and hung the sword on the wall again.
She slowly walked to the window, pushed open the carved window lattice, and looked up at the sparse drizzle outside the window.
In fact, Lu Ning had been eavesdropping since the quarrel between Sister Niu and Ma Huilan. At first, she just wanted to learn from the two.
Find some clues in people's conversations.
Until they started looking for someone from room to room, she took the sword off the wall, walked to the door and waited.
At this time, she has already thought of a countermeasure: if they knock on the door and ask to come in, she will drive them all away. If they dare to force their way in, she is ready to fight them to the death today!
Fortunately, Ye Qingfeng fought to the death to protect each other and calmed down an upcoming dispute.
Lu Ning looked at the thin boy Yu Yu walking alone in the rain, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly. Everything that happened at that moment made her completely give up all doubts about this boy.
She now firmly believes that everyone in the caravan may kill someone, including the confused Ye Guming!
The group finally came to a stop in front of Hu Qi's room door.
Ma Huilan turned around, looked at Sister-in-law Niu who was full of anger, and sneered: "This is the last room in the yard. If you still can't find your husband, you won't be able to blame our caravan anymore!" "
Mrs. Niu glanced at her and said hurriedly: "Stop talking nonsense! I don't believe this evil. How can such a big living person disappear out of thin air!" After saying that, she pushed the door open and entered.
But Ma Huilan grabbed her and shouted: "What are you in a hurry for? Mr. Hu is our guest, not a member of the caravan! If you want to go in and search, you must knock on the door and ask him!"
Sister-in-law Niu snorted, shook her head and mocked: "Just now we arrived at the young gang leader's room, and the three of you blocked us. Now we're in a man's room, and you singled out and blocked him again. I think you have a guilty conscience!"
However, Ma Huilan smiled lightly and said indifferently: "Sister-in-law Niu, don't push yourself too far! We are the greatest mercy by letting you come in to search people. If you dare to act recklessly and offend the young gang leader and the patrons, I will expel you and your wife immediately. Send out a caravan and let you live on the streets and starve to death!"
Sister-in-law Niu was speechless and had no choice but to take a few steps back.
