Chapter 22 The Bad Kiss Comes to the Door (1)

"It's me, Caiwei."

  As soon as the words fell, there was a crackling sound in the house, and the sound of something being knocked over. After the noise, Jiujin rushed out excitedly.

  "Sister Wei'er, why are you here?"

  In the dark night, Jiujin's expression blended into the night and could not be seen clearly, but one could hear the excitement and surprise in his voice, with a little doubt.

  Caiwei said, "I have to go to the town tomorrow. I wonder if Jiujin's ox cart is convenient?"

  "Convenient, convenient, how can it be inconvenient? Anyway, I have nothing to do tomorrow, I'll drive the cart to take you there." Jiujin hurriedly agreed, and was so happy that he wanted to jump twice on the spot.

  "Oh, Wei'er, why are you here? Come in and sit inside, it's cold outside!" Aunt Zhou rushed out with a sheepskin coat, put it on Jiujin, and said angrily, "Wei'er, look at your brother Jiujin. When he heard that you were here, he ran out without even putting on his coat. What if he gets frozen?"

  Jiujin laughed foolishly and muttered, "A grown man's family, how can I be so delicate?"

  Caiwei hurriedly said, "Aunt is right, brother Jiujin, please go back to the house. I don't have anything important to do, so I'll go back." After that, she stepped forward a few steps and handed over the meat in her hand.

  "I bought some meat at the market today and brought it to Uncle Zhou to go with his wine. I'm so grateful for the help from Uncle Zhou and Brother Jiujin this morning."

  Before Aunt Zhou could speak, Jiujin waved his hands and said awkwardly, "No, no, sister Wei'er, please don't be polite to me..."

  Aunt Zhou also hurriedly declined, "What are you doing, Wei'er? Your family is in financial difficulty, take it back and keep it for yourself. I have meat at home, and your brother Jiujin hasn't finished eating the pheasant he shot yet, take it back..."

  "Aunt has meat at home, keep these to make oil, after all, it's a little gift from my mother, please don't despise it."

  Caiwei politely put the straw rope tied with pork into Aunt Zhou's hand, and dragged Wu'er away...

  Aunt Zhou looked at Caiwei who was walking away, and then looked at Jiujin who was standing there stupidly, stepped forward and hit him, and said with a smile: "Everyone has gone far away, why are you still standing there stupidly? Go back to the house quickly, be careful not to get cold." Jiujin

  touched his head, smiled embarrassedly and said: "Mom, Wei'er asked me to accompany her to the town tomorrow, hehe..."

  ...

  Zhou and Mu's families were not far apart. Caiwei held Wu'er's little hand and walked slowly on the way home. At this time, the wind and snow had stopped, and a bright moon hung in the night sky like a jade plate, coldly reflecting the countless living beings between heaven and earth. Caiwei looked up at the full moon in the sky, and felt melancholy in her heart. She didn't know if the moon here was the same as the moon in her hometown. If so, she still had a little connection with her hometown, and was not completely isolated here!

  "Eldest sister, listen!" Wu'er suddenly spoke.

  Caiwei was startled for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, a sharp curse came with the night wind. Although it was not too loud, it was still clear.

  "You prodigal whore, my Mu family's business will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later..."

  "Oh no, grandma is here!" Wu'er's little hands tightened, and she said loudly: "Eldest sister, let's go back quickly." After that, she pulled Caiwei and ran away.

  The brother and sister ran very fast, and they ran back home in a few steps. As soon as she entered the door, Caiwei was shocked.

  On the edge of the kang, the eldest uncle's family sat there in a row, all with unfriendly faces and covetous eyes.

  Grandma Mu Baishi, sitting cross-legged on the head of the kang, her already long face stretched even longer, at least two and a half feet.

  Grandpa Mu Liankui, smoked his pipe silently, and before he finished, he took the pipe bowl from his mouth and knocked it on the edge of the kang, "bang bang bang" It was loud.
