Chapter 288: Family heirloom

Views:

Liu Yang groaned, quickly put down the things in his hands, and greeted with a smile: "Fourth Aunt, what's wrong with you, old man?"

"Da... Dayang, you... you have been close to your fourth uncle since you were young, and you two have always gotten along very well..." The fourth aunt was nagging, and it was very difficult to say, but Liu Yang understood what she was thinking in her heart. What to think.

She was the county magistrate, and she came to beg her to see if Liu Hengju could be released.

Although the fourth aunt didn't know why the fourth uncle was arrested, she still felt embarrassed to beg her. Rural people are very simple. It would be very shameful for anyone in the family to be arrested by the "state", and they would not dare to go out in the village.

If the matter hadn't been related to the happiness of his family, his fourth aunt probably wouldn't have come out to look for him, right

However, Liu Hengju had lost his humanity when it came to treating Liu Li, which made Liu Yang unable to forgive him for his mistakes. Besides, Liu Hengju is He Yushan's die-hard thug. He is an accomplice in some things and has participated in the crime. He is not a blind follower.

Since he has violated the law, he should be punished by the law.

Speak up for yourself and save him from jail. However, that is not my style, and I have no right to play with the law. However, looking at the fourth aunt standing in front of him with his head lowered, hunched waist, and a miserable look on his face, Liu Yang didn't know what to say to her for a moment.

"Dayang, I... I know that your fourth uncle has committed a crime and should go to jail, but... But your two brothers are still young. The one in junior high school is in junior high school, and the one in elementary school is in elementary school. They have three meals a day. Like a calf, I can't even get enough to eat even five or six steamed buns... How do you think I can survive as a woman at home?" The fourth aunt said, already bursting into tears and sobbing.

"Fourth Aunt..." Liu Yang called out, not knowing how to comfort her.

After thinking about it, he reached out and took out his wallet. No matter how much it was, he took out all the bills in it: "Fourth Aunt, Fourth Uncle, he violated the laws of the country, and I can't let anyone let him go. If you want If you go, go and see him, tell him to explain clearly the mistakes he has made, seek leniency, and make a good change. Don’t worry about his family affairs. I am responsible for my two younger brothers’ schooling... "

"This... how is this okay?" The fourth aunt was obviously in a panic. She looked at the bills that Liu Yang handed over and waved her hands: "This is not okay, how can I ask for your money?"

Liu Yang grabbed her hand and put the money into her hand: "Fourth Aunt, just take it... Have you forgotten? In the first few years when you and Fourth Uncle got married, didn't I often eat at your house?"

"Dayang, what are you doing? It takes you so long to get something?" Behind me, my mother's urging voice came. Turning around, I saw my mother standing in the yard, with a gloomy face as if it was going to rain soon.

After Liu Hengju's incident came out, it was actually my mother who was the first to release him herself. With no other choice, Liu Yang told his mother everything his fourth uncle had done, and she was so angry that she went crazy.

My mother had given birth to a first-rate child in her life, and she had long regarded Liu Li as her own daughter. Hearing how Liu Hengju treated Liu Li, I really wanted to go to the detention center and tear Liu Hengju to pieces. Now that he saw his fourth aunt, he hated the whole house and turned his anger towards Liu Hengju onto her.

When she called Liu Yang that way, she was actually chasing her fourth aunt away.

Seeing the fourth aunt leaving in an awkward manner, Liu Yang's heart sank, and he turned around and shouted: "Mom, the fourth uncle is the fourth uncle, and the fourth aunt is the fourth aunt. Don't you want to be like this! In fact, the fourth aunt is still very good..."

"You little bastard, how dare you teach me a lesson? Don't I know who she is?" Mother Liu cursed, and then sighed: "Oh... your fourth aunt is quite good. , it’s not easy for one person to have two children, but when I think about what that man did, I get angry... "

"Okay, don't be angry, okay? It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but that I can't take care of it. My son is the county magistrate, so many pairs of eyes are staring at me. If I do anything illegal, I will also be punished. "..." Before Liu Yang could finish his words, Liu's mother said twice: "Bah, bah... what are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense."

As she spoke, the old lady turned around and walked back. As he walked, he said, "Just leave it alone. I don't have time to grind your teeth. I still have to talk to my daughter-in-law."

Liu Yangxin said you are too partial, right? Without my son, how could I have your daughter-in-law

While thinking about it, Liu Yang moved the things out of the trunk and moved them three times in a row before finishing the move. Listening to the couple in the main room chatting happily, the old lady laughed happily from time to time. Liu Yangxin said that no wonder the old lady liked Zhao Jingjing so much. This girl was so good at making the old lady happy.

After washing her hands and sitting down, the old lady started talking again: "Why are you sitting there? Your father has gone to collect wheat noodles. You call him and ask him to buy some good food..."

Liu Yang smiled and said: "Mom, people say that you forget your mother after you marry a daughter-in-law. Why do I think you don't want a son now that you have a daughter-in-law?"

The old lady immediately beamed with joy, smiled at Liu Yang and scolded: "What's wrong? Jingjing and I just hit it off, are you not convinced? Jingjing, ignore him, come in with me..." With that, the old lady pulled Zhao Jingjing. After walking into the inner room, Liu Yang followed suit.

"Mom, what are you doing? You've gone through so much trouble to rummage through the cabinets. What are you looking for?" Seeing my mother searching through several drawers but not finding what she was looking for, she couldn't help laughing behind her. Then asked.

The old lady turned around and cursed: "Of course I'm looking for something good... You brat, I want you to take care of whatever I want to find. Go, go, call your dad... "

"Whose car is this? Why is it blocked at the door?" At this moment, the voice of Liu Yang's father Liu Henghe came from outside.

"Mom, my dad is back... Jingjing, give me the keys. I'll move the car..."

Zhao Jingjing quickly said: "I'd better go..." Zhao Jingjing was sweating all over because of the old lady's enthusiasm. When she heard Liu Yang's greeting, she quickly took the opportunity to go out.

When the two people walked out of the door, they saw Liu Henghe walking over with a coat on his shoulders and a white vest with two ribs, carrying a bag of flour and a bag of rice, with his back straight.

This posture made Zhao Jingjing involuntarily stunned, thinking that Liu Yang's father was also in his fifties or sixties, right? Look how relaxed he is carrying two bags of stuff!

The old man is in really good health, but I wonder if Liu Yang will still be like this when he reaches his age? However, this time she did not call anyone, but asked Liu Yang in a low voice: "Liu Yang, I... what is my name?"

"Call me dad. You already called me mom just now, so now you have to call this old man dad." The old lady stood at the door of the house and said with a smile.

Zhao Jingjing saw that Liu Yang had no intention of objecting, and then stepped forward and said: "Hello, Dad! Why are you resisting so many things? Liu Yang, take it quickly..."

As she spoke, Zhao Jingjing walked over and stretched out her hand to help the old man remove the rice bag from his shoulders. Unexpectedly, Liu Yang still stood there without moving, just smiled, and asked his father: "Dad, do you want to help?"

"What are you talking about? Hurry up?" Zhao Jingjing felt a little incredible and thought to herself, "How can you be such a son?" Does it mean that you can't do housework after becoming a small-time county magistrate? Or are you afraid of getting your clothes dirty

"Okay, you're a good guy, and I've got a reputation for being unfilial... You don't even know that our dad is practicing martial arts..." Liu Yang said with a smile.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will break your legs..." Liu Henghe said, shaking his shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Go on..."

As he spoke, the two bags on his shoulders suddenly flew up and hit Liu Yang. Amidst Zhao Jingjing's exclamation, Liu Yang stretched out his hand and placed it on the two bags. A bag of rice and a bag of noodles landed firmly on Liu Yang's shoulders.

"You're such a waste, you still need to hold him with your hands?" Looking at his son's back walking towards the west wing, Mr. Liu couldn't help but shook his head and cursed behind him.

Turning back, Liu Henghe showed a smile.

In fact, Liu Henghe has been sizing up Zhao Jingjing since she appeared in front of her. He said in his heart that this girl is good-looking, but beautiful women can only be used as vases, and they must be sincere.

First seeing Zhao Jingjing caring about her being tired, and now caring about her son, Liu Henghe showed a happy smile at this time and said hello: "My daughter is here, go back to the house and sit down quickly... Liu Yang, why did you bring someone back without calling in advance?" Hello?"

Liu Yang curled his lips when he heard this: "As a leader, can you not be so arbitrary in your words? She came here by herself. I didn't know it before she came here..."

Liu Henghe hummed while putting on his coat: "Then I blame you even more. Why don't you bring someone else's daughter to sit at her house? You have to ask her to come over by herself..." As he said this, he took the washbasin and went to the water pipe. Take the water below and wash your face and hands. Zhao Jingjing hurriedly stood behind with a towel to wait on her, and Liu Henghe's smile became more and more comfortable.

Liu Yang was scratching his head as he watched, thinking that Zhao Jingjing really knew how to please the elderly. As soon as she turned around, she saw her mother bringing out an ebony box with gold accents. She couldn't help but asked a little strangely: "Mom, what is this? This thing is old, why have I never seen it before?"

The old lady said solemnly: "This is the heirloom of the old Liu family. It is only passed down from generation to generation to the daughter-in-law. I have always hidden it tightly. In the past, if you didn't bring your daughter-in-law to the door, of course you wouldn't see it. Now Jing Jing Jingjing is here, I just handed it over, so I don’t have to worry about it being stolen... Come on, Jingjing, mom is telling you, this thing will be kept by you from now on... "

Zhao Jingjing only glanced at it, then quickly waved her hand and said: "Oh...Mom, this box looks like an antique at first glance. No matter what is inside, this box alone is very valuable. I can't have it..."

"Jingjing, you are the girl Liu Yang brought back for the first time, and you are also the daughter-in-law that his father and I have chosen. If you don't want it, then you don't want to be the daughter-in-law of our Liu family..." Liu's mother smiled and put that He handed the small wooden box to Zhao Jingjing and said, "Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"
