Under Zhu Ping'an's gaze, uncle Zhu Shouren had to continue to explain the truth of the matter awkwardly.
"We actually arrived in Yingtian half a month ago..." Uncle Zhu Shouren said embarrassedly.
"I was still in Yingtian half a month ago and hadn't come to Suzhou yet. If uncle was here to look for me, why didn't he come to look for me then?"
Zhu Pingan asked.
Hearing Zhu Ping'an's question, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang couldn't help but look at their uncle Zhu Shouren with resentment.
"Ahem, we were exhausted from the journey and wanted to take a shower and change clothes before coming to visit your nephew, so as to avoid being looked down upon and bringing shame to your nephew." Uncle Zhu Shouren coughed and explained with a red face.
Dusty all the way? More dusty than now? Zhu Pingan glanced at his uncle and the other three, then set his eyes on his uncle Zhu Shouren, and continued to ask, "Uncle, it won't take long to bathe and change clothes, just a day of rest. If you count, I was still in Yingtian at that time."
"Hehe, so it's all my fault that I'm too soft-hearted. I can't bear to see the sufferings of the world. When I see people in trouble, I always want to help solve it. As a result, we have ended up in this situation..." Uncle Zhu Shouren's face turned even redder. He didn't dare to look Zhu Ping'an in the eye. He turned his head away, looked to the side with flickering eyes, and his voice was evasive.
Hu Wei and Xia Qiang couldn't bear to listen any longer and lowered their heads to avoid losing control of their emotions.
"Uncle is always willing to help others, so why did he end up like this? Where did he bathe and change his clothes, and who did he help to end up like this?"
Zhu Ping'an pulled the corner of his mouth speechlessly. The person you are talking about has nothing to do with you.
"Ahem..." Uncle Zhu Shouren coughed several times before he spoke awkwardly, "We took a bath, changed clothes and rested in Liuxiang Tower."
"Liu Xiang Lou? It sounds like a place of entertainment..."
Zhu Ping'an pulled the corner of his mouth speechlessly. His uncle is worthy of being his uncle. His hobby really hasn't changed at all.
"Ahem, although it's a place of entertainment, the ladies there are very clever and deft, and their skills in combing and washing hair are extraordinary. We went to Liuxiang Tower because we admired the ladies' skills in combing and washing hair..."
As Uncle Zhu Shouren spoke, his voice became much softer, and it seemed that he himself no longer believed it.
Are you admiring the young lady's hair-washing skills at Liuxianglou, or some other skill? Do you think I don't know? !
Zhu Ping'an looked at his uncle Zhu Shouren clearly.
Uncle Zhu Shouren did not dare to meet Zhu Ping'an's gaze. He just glanced at him awkwardly and continued, "We rested in Liuxiang Tower for a night. We were going to visit my nephew after dawn, but when we were leaving, I saw her. She was so weak, so helpless, and so pitiful..."
"My dear nephew, do you know that she is not a girl from the building? She is a young wife from a nearby village. Her husband treats her badly and forces her to come to Liuxianglou every day to collect the dirty clothes of the girls in the building for washing and earn a few hard-earned dollars to supplement the family income. Even though it is so hard, her husband often beats and scolds her. She cries every day..."
"Nephew, you know, she had a very hard time. Her clothes didn't fit her. Either her top was too loose or her bottom was too tight. When she squatted, a large area of her underwear was exposed... She was shivering from the cold... Nephew, you know, I am too soft-hearted and can't bear to see people suffer. Seeing her so pitiful and shivering from the cold, I wanted to help her, so I called her into the room and let her warm up..."
"She came into the house and complained to me about her misfortune, saying that she was very pitiful and had never been loved since she was a child. I was too soft-hearted and couldn't help but hug her, giving her the warmth of her father's generation and soothing her heartache with my hands. She stayed warm in my arms for a while, then pushed me away, saying that she had to go home to cook and deliver food to her husband who worked at the dock. If she missed the meal, he would beat her to death, so she hurried back with her dirty clothes."
"I saw that she was a weak woman carrying so many clothes, so I felt sorry for her and helped her take the clothes back home."
"It was cold all the way home. I saw her rubbing her hands because she was cold, so I asked her to go to bed to warm up before cooking. It was still early anyway. After she went to bed, I saw she was still shivering. I knew she was a weak girl with weak internal energy and couldn't warm the bed. As the saying goes, help others to the end, and send Buddha to the west. Seeing her shivering, my heart softened, I took off my clothes, and helped her warm the bed..."
Uncle Zhu Shouren spoke slowly, and as he spoke this he seemed to have thought of the scene at that time, and he became a little excited.
After hearing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This woman is obviously problematic. In ancient times, she went to a brothel to wash clothes and work. Her top was loose and her bottom was tight. When she squatted, she showed a large part of her private parts... In ancient times, even the poorest people would not dress like this. If the top was loose, it could be tightened with two stitches. How could the top be so loose that it showed her private parts... If you call her, she will follow you into the house, let you hug her, and tell you her life story...
The uncle is worthy of being called an uncle. He is really "helpful". He gives warmth to people and warms their beds. Haha, once he sees a woman, his brain, which is not rich to begin with, becomes even less rich...
"Ahem, just when I was hugging her and giving her warmth, who knew that her man suddenly came back..."
Uncle coughed and spoke in a low voice.
nonsense!
It would be strange if his man didn’t come back!
Once the fish has taken the bait, of course they will take the bait and collect it. Do they want you to eat the bait, wipe your mouth and walk away? !
"Ah, nephew, you know, if a person is soft-hearted, he can't hide it even if he doesn't say anything."
Uncle Zhu Shouren looked back on the past and said with emotion.
"Where are you hiding?"
Zhu Pingan asked calmly.
"Hehe, I hid under the bed. I was afraid that her husband would misunderstand and make her feel embarrassed, so I hid under the bed. But I didn't expect that her husband and a few brothers would pull me out from under the bed as soon as they entered the room. They beat me without asking any questions. Not only did they rob all the silver and clothes on me, they also threatened me and asked me to call Brother Hu and Brother Xia. If I didn't do as they said, they would report to the police, report to the instructor, and parade me through the streets... I had no choice but to call Brother Hu and Brother Xia, hoping that they would mediate and reconcile us." Uncle Zhu Shouren said embarrassedly.
When Zhu Shouren said this, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang took over the conversation with resentment, "We received a letter from Brother Zhu. In the letter, Brother Zhu said that he met an old acquaintance and warmly invited us to taste the farmer's wine. As a result, we were beaten up as soon as we entered the door, and the silver and clothes on our bodies were also robbed. They also forced us to sign a voluntary donation form and asked us to press our fingerprints, saying that the silver and clothes were all donated to them voluntarily; we also signed a confession of raping a woman, saying that Brother Zhu raped a woman and we were accomplices, responsible for keeping watch, and they also forced us to press our fingerprints..."
After completing the whole process, they were so skillful and professional that Zhu Ping'an wanted to applaud them.
