Li Hehua didn't know what the little guy Gu Jinzhao told Master Gu. Anyway, a few days later, when she went to the academy to pick up Shulin home as usual, the little guy Jinzhao rushed out from behind the gate happily. , came straight to her, and threw it into her arms.
"Aunt Lotus, I want to tell you good news."
Li Hehua hugged the little guy who ran into his arms, smiled and touched his little head, "What's the matter?"
Gu Jinzhao grinned and said happily: "Tell you, my second uncle has already promised me. You said that as long as my second uncle promises, you are my godmother, haven't you forgotten? If you don't believe me, ask my second uncle. , he agreed."
Li Hehua looked at Gu Zhijin, Gu Jinzhao, the little guy, has not mentioned this since that day. She thought it was Master Gu who disagreed, but now he agrees
Gu Zhijin looked at his nephew who was hanging like a monkey, then looked at the book forest who looked up at his mother, and sighed helplessly again. His skin monkey, in order to make him agree, would not agree. It's pitiful to know how many ro-ros I've played with him, if he doesn't agree, he'll be annoyed to death by him.
Gu Zhijin felt embarrassed, but he still nodded his head, with shame in his eyes, "Madam, I'm so sorry, this skin monkey is too annoying, and he insists on recognizing you as a godmother. You're not bothered by him, are you?"
Hearing this, Li Hehua knew that he had agreed, and said, "Nothing, I like Jin Zhao very much. I am very happy that he can recognize me as a godmother."
Hearing this, Gu Jinzhao snorted proudly, and gave his second uncle a stern expression of "Look, I'm right".
Gu Zhijin gave him a chestnut, and he didn't dare to be so shy.
"Ma'am, please bear with me when Jin Zhao has troubles in the future." Gu Zhijin gave Li Hehua a ceremony, which was regarded as an official recognition of the matter.
"Master, don't be so polite in the future."
Li Hehua smiled, patted Gu Jinzhao's little head and said to the little guy, "Okay, my godson, godmother is going to bring Shulin back now. I'll bring you something delicious tomorrow."
Gu Jinzhao squinted his eyes with joy, grabbed Li Hehua's hand and shook it, and asked, "Damn, can I often go to your place for dinner, and then often sleep with Shulin?"
Li Hehua nodded with a smile, "Of course you can, you can go whenever you want, the godmother welcomes you at any time, but you have to talk to the second uncle when you come."
Gu Jinzhao's eyes lit up with a "swipe", and his heart was sweet, and he waved his small hand, "Good godmother, I know, I am the most sensible person."
Li Hehua was amused by the way he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and rubbed his little head again before taking Shulin home with him.
Li Hehua took Shulin's little hand and walked slowly, thinking that she, a big girl who never got married at one time, had two sons all at once, it felt quite unbelievable, but the two little guys were very cute. Also her luck.
At this time, the little man who was holding her suddenly stopped leaving and pulled her hand.
Li Hehua looked back at him, "What's the matter, Shulin?"
Shulin looked up at her with his head raised, his big eyes blinking, his small mouth pursed tightly, and there was an inexplicable sense of grievance.
Li Hehua hurriedly squatted down in front of the little guy and touched his little face, "What's the matter? Do you have anything to tell my mother?"
Shulin thought for a while, nodded his head, and suddenly opened his small hands and got into Li Hehua's arms, wrapped his arms tightly around her neck, and rubbed against her neck coquettishly, reluctant to get up for a long time.
Li Hehua smiled, "Do you want my mother to hug you?"
The little head in his arms paused for a while, then nodded lightly.
Li Hehua raised his eyebrows. When he came to pick up Shulin before, he always carried the little guy home. Later, Zhang Tieshan told the little guy that he was tired and his mother couldn't hold him. Since then, the little guy has rarely let Li Hehua hold him. Now, they are all holding her hand and walking behind her with small heels earnestly. Sometimes even if they are very tired, they don't say anything, and they always insist on finishing the walk by themselves.
Today was the first time in so many days that the little guy asked her to carry him away.
Li Hehua was happy to satisfy the little guy, took him into his arms, kissed him on the forehead, and said, "Okay, mother will carry you and go."
Shulin rested his small head on Li Hehua's shoulder and wrapped one hand tightly around her neck.
Just when he was about to walk to the restaurant, the quiet little man suddenly said, "Mother—I want to hold Shulin—"
Um? Li Hehua was taken aback by the little guy's words, he looked down at the little guy, and saw that the little guy suddenly buried his face and stopped looking at her.
Li Hehua was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he understood what the little guy meant, and he was dumbfounded.
Such a little beanie, he knew he was jealous, but when he left, he hugged Jinzhao and didn't hug him. He was sad, so he acted like a spoiled child and wanted to hug him.
Li Hehua couldn't help laughing suddenly, turned the little baby in his arms, and kissed his little ear that was exposed, "Okay, mother will not forget Shulin, mother loves Shulin the most. "
The little guy's ears moved, his face turned slightly to the side, revealing a little bit of eyes to peek at her, and the corners of his mouth curved a little.
Li Hehua pursed his lips and smiled, and said again: "But, brother Jin Zhao was never hugged by his mother before. Now he is your brother, and your mother will hug him too, okay? Let's love Brother Jin Zhao too. Isn't he good to you? You are the most generous and best child, and you will be good to brother Jin Zhao, right?"
Shulin listened, bit his lip slowly, and after a while, raised his head and nodded to Li Hehua.
Li Hehua kissed him on the forehead again, "Our book forest is awesome, my mother likes you so much."
Shu Lin suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly.
When Li Hehua arrived at the restaurant, Li Hehua was about to carry someone in, when Shulin kicked her calf and patted her shoulder with her little hand, "Mother, I want to go down."
"Huh? Going down? Don't you want to be hugged?"
Shulin nodded, glanced at the door of the restaurant, and said seriously: "Mother hugs, father hits—"
Li Hehua: "..." The little man is still learning to behave well in front of his father. He knows that his father doesn't like him and wants her to hug him. When he arrives at the door, he knows he has to come down and pretend.
Li Hehua couldn't laugh or cry, he put the little man down and held his hand instead, "Okay, then hold hands with mother."
Shu Lin snickered and walked in the door with cheerful little steps.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Hehua was stopped by Luo Er who was standing behind the counter, "Boss, you are back, go and see Qingshan, something happened!"
"Ah? What happened?" Li Hehua was shocked.
Luo Er was so anxious that his head was sweating, and he said eagerly: "Just as you went to pick up Shulin, someone came to our restaurant to report that it was Qingshan who killed someone and was detained. Let the family hurry to the carpenter's shop. , Aunt Zhang and Tie Shan have just gone."
Kill someone? Li Hehua's heart skipped a beat, and the next second, he hurriedly carried Shulin holding his hand to the pastry area and handed it to Simei Cao to take him for a while, while she hurried out.
As soon as he ran out, Li Hehua stopped in a hurry, turned around in a hurry, ran into the backyard room, took out fifty taels of silver with him, and then rushed to the carpenter's shop.
When Li Hehua arrived, a lot of people were already surrounding the carpenter's shop. Everyone looked at the inside and pointed at what they were saying. Li Hehua struggled to squeeze in, and he heard a burst of scolding as soon as he entered.
"My son, why are you so pitiful? It's totally unreasonable to be beaten like this by a little beast..."
"Son, if something happens to you, how do you want me and your father to survive? Our family will be forced to death..."
"Son, if your mother can't live, wake up..."
The shouting and scolding were accompanied by one after another crying, the scene was very chaotic, and there was a faint cry of Zhang Lin's.
Li Hehua was even more anxious, and shouted anxiously, "Let me let me go, I am a family member, let me in."
The people watching the lively heard that they were family members, so they stepped aside a little, and this allowed Li Hehua to squeeze into the backyard and see the situation at the scene.
I saw Zhang Qingshan standing still with his head lowered, Zhang Lin was standing beside Zhang Qingshan wiping tears, and Zhang Tieshan was frowning and talking to a little old man.
Li Hehua turned his gaze to the man lying on the ground, and saw that the man closed his eyes, lying quietly in the arms of a middle-aged man, with white gauze wrapped around his head, the white gauze was covered with blood, and there was a lot of blood on the ground. Looking very serious.
Li Hehua remembered what Luo Er said just now that he had beaten someone to death, and shivered for a while, staring at the person without blinking. When he saw that the person was breathing, he was greatly relieved.
Fortunately, there are no dead people, no dead people are good, things are not so hopeless.
Li Hehua calmed himself down and walked to Zhang Tieshan's side.
Zhang Tieshan saw her coming, pursed his lips, reached out and shook her hand, "You are here."
Li Hehua nodded, leaned over to him and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Zhang Tieshan told her the matter in a low voice, "Qingshan had a conflict with this apprentice on the ground, got into a fight, accidentally pushed him down, smashed a hole in his head, and now he's passed out, but this guy's family People are now detaining people and not letting them go, and they want justice."
Li Hehua glanced at Zhang Qingshan, and Zhang Qingshan was also looking at them. Seeing Li Hehua looking at him, anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head and stared at the ground without speaking.
Li Hehua looked back and said to Zhang Tieshan, "Then what's going on now? Did the family say how to solve the problem?"
Zhang Tieshan's brows tightened a bit, and he said, "The doctor said that he lost a lot of blood, but fortunately, there is no danger to his life, so it's enough to rest and recuperate, but this family wants to make a big fuss, saying that they want to report to the officials, and they want to arrest Qingshan to go to jail. "
Li Hehua raised his eyebrows, "Did you report to the official? Why hasn't the official errand arrived yet?"
Zhang Tieshan pursed the corners of his mouth, and coldness flashed in his eyes.
Li Hehua knew this. It seemed that the family said so, but they didn't immediately report to the official. It was nothing more than wanting to hold him back. "This is to settle the money? Otherwise, report to the official?"
Zhang Tieshan nodded silently.
Li Hehua sighed in his heart, this is a bit of a bad ending, no matter who is right or wrong in the beginning, but Zhang Qingshan beats people like this, and the fault party has already changed to Zhang Qingshan, even if the government comes People, in the eyes of the public will also ask Zhang Qingshan to compensate, otherwise he will be thrown into prison.
However, others can think so, but the family has to figure out who is right and who is wrong.
Li Hehua waved to Zhang Qingshan, "Qingshan, come here."
Zhang Qingshan froze when he was called, and quickly raised his eyes to look at her, then quickly lowered his head, and walked over step by step.
Li Hehua sighed, he was still a young boy, and he was afraid at the moment, so he tried to soften his voice, "Qingshan, tell us what's going on, please?"
Zhang Qingshan sniffed and did not speak.
Zhang Tieshan frowned and was about to reprimand, but Li Hehua grabbed him and shook his head at him, but Zhang Tieshan didn't speak.
Li Hehua's voice was the same as usual, and said: "Qingshan, I believe that you are not that reckless and ignorant child, you must have a reason to have a conflict with him, right? You tell us, we also know what is in our hearts. How to solve it later will have a number, don't you think? Qingshan, don't be afraid, we won't blame you, if you have any grievances, say it directly."
Zhang Qingshan sniffed, his eyes suddenly turned red, and the tears he had been holding back also fell.
When his brother came and was busy negotiating with the family, his mother kept complaining about him. Only his sister-in-law said that he believed in him and that he was wronged, and he couldn't hold back the tears.
Li Hehua patted his shoulder, "Okay, it's alright, we all trust you, don't worry, don't cry, you are a man."
Zhang Qingshan was embarrassed and quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then he told the details of the matter, "Sister-in-law, it's really not my fault, it's Zhang Dawei who slandered me for breaking the furniture that Master just made for me, but it's not at all. It wasn't me who broke it, but he insisted that it was me, I couldn't be angry, he said that he framed me, and then he came to beat me, and I got into a fight with him, and then accidentally pushed him to the wood. up the corner."
Zhang Qingshan said and sniffed, "Sister-in-law, it's really not me who broke it, it's him who slandered me, he usually likes to bully me, often like this, I usually endure it, but this time if I still endure it , I have to bear the charge, the furniture will cost a lot of money, I can't bear it, but I didn't expect him to hit his head."
Zhang Lin was listening, tears streaming down again, and he reached out and beat Zhang Qingshan, "Why are you so impulsive, can't you explain to your master, why are you fighting! How good is this?"
Zhang Qingshan felt a little nervous, and couldn't help but whispered: "Mother! I told you that he is a relative of the master's family, the master is partial to him, and he will not uphold justice at all, he will definitely make me lose money, and he will beat me first. , I didn't hit him."
"But...but...but you can't hit people..."
Zhang Qingshan closed his eyes and was speechless.
Li Hehua frowned slightly and said: "Don't talk about Qingshan about this matter. Qingshan didn't do it on purpose. If there is anything wrong, we will go back and talk about it. The top priority now is to solve the matter."
Zhang Tieshan shook Li Hehua's hand.
Zhang Lin hurriedly wiped away his tears and said, "Yes, yes, let's settle things first, we can't keep dragging along like this."
Li Hehua thought for a while, looked at the people around him, and said to Zhang Tieshan in a very low voice: "I don't think we can take advantage of this today, what do you think?"
Zhang Tieshan nodded, "Even if the government comes, Qingshan will be sentenced to pay the other party's money, and the furniture is broken, as long as Qingshan's master and other apprentices say that Qingshan broke it, this matter Even if Qingshan didn't break it, it would be Qingshan's. The government will not investigate it, and will only let Qingshan take responsibility. If Qingshan doesn't want to take responsibility, he will be arrested."
Li Hehua didn't know this. If Qingshan's master really favored that family, the other apprentices would identify Qingshan together because they were worried about the master even if they knew that it was not made by Qingshan, and even did not admit that it was the other apprentice named Zhang Dawei. Hands-on, in the end they still can't beg.
They probably have to admit it this time, it depends on the issue of more money and less money.
Hearing the words, Zhang Lin whimpered and grabbed Zhang Tieshan's sleeve tightly, "Tieshan, you must help your brother, your brother can't be in trouble, can't go to jail."
Zhang Tieshan pursed his lips and pondered.
Li Hehua tugged at Zhang Tieshan's sleeve, "Today this money is indispensable to give, who has hurt people so badly, even the furniture, it is estimated that they will lose money, but even if they suffer a little loss, even Qingshan will not. Good to stay here."
Zhang Tieshan frowned, and his voice was very deep, "I won't let Qingshan stay in a place like this anymore. I heard others say it's not bad before, thinking that he is one of the best carpenters in the town, and sent Qingshan here, who is it? If there is such a thing, Qingshan does not need to stay here in the future."
Li Hehua nodded, agreeing with what Zhang Tieshan said. Judging from what Zhang Qingshan said, he has suffered a lot of grievances here, and his master is also partial and has never helped him. What is there to be an apprentice like, and after today's incident, he will never stay here again. down.
Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan looked at each other and had already made up their minds.
Zhang Tieshan came forward, found Zhang Dawei's father and master, and began to talk about it.
