(Today is the second chapter. I hope everyone will collect this book.)
Yi Xiaodong also wanted to go back with Uncle Ma to catch up, but the current situation did not allow him to leave for too long. He had no choice. Other than himself, who else could stand up to him alone?
Although Uncle Ma was very enthusiastic, Yi Xiaodong could only politely refuse after considering the actual situation.""Uncle Ma, I really miss you and want to go back with you, but I really can't leave now.”As he spoke, he pointed at the restless crowd and said,"There are still more than ten mouths waiting to eat there. How about this? I don't think you should go back. Anyway, you can't earn much from that small piece of land. Why don't you stay by my side and help me take care of it?”
Yi Xiaodong said this because he knew that Uncle Ma was a loner. Rather than living alone, it was better to live with him and take care of each other. Yi Xiaodong was quite satisfied with Uncle Ma's character. With Uncle Ma's help and management, it would be much easier for him. If possible, he did not mind helping Uncle Ma to retire.
Ma Niu obviously did not expect Yi Xiaodong to say this. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and slapped his head. He smiled and said,""Sigh, I was wondering why a God of Fortune suddenly appeared out of nowhere. So that person is you.”At this point, Ma Niu once again sized up Yi Xiaodong from head to toe. As he looked at it, he smacked his lips and praised it.
As a result, Yi Xiaodong felt even more embarrassed. In this world, only two people knew his background. One was Liu Xian Er, and the other was Ma Niu.
"I'm not a god of fortune, I'm just making a living. Uncle Ma, don't you know what kind of person I am?”Yi Xiaodong did not want to continue on this topic, so he quickly interrupted,""Uncle Ma, what do you think of my suggestion? Why don't you think about it again? Don't worry, I'll treat you like a family member.”
Upon hearing Yi Xiaodong's words, Ma Niu couldn't stop smiling. That was true. Nowadays, there weren't many 'good children' who were as filial and considerate as Yi Xiaodong. Ma Niu nodded and shook his head,"Good child, since the first time I saw you, I don't know why, but I feel very close to you. I think this is fate between us. I appreciate your kindness, but Uncle Ma still has a tricky matter to deal with. After it's settled, I'll come over to do odd jobs for you. Hehe, don't think that Uncle Ma is a little old, but his skills are not bad. It's more than enough to wash your clothes and cook for you.”
Hearing Uncle Ma say that he had encountered a troublesome matter, Yi Xiaodong immediately became nervous and quickly asked,""Uncle Ma, what kind of trouble did you encounter? Can you tell me? Maybe I can help a little.”
" Sigh," Ma Niu sighed when he heard about the thorny matter. He thought about how Yi Xiaodong was not an outsider and sighed,""Actually, it's not that I'm in trouble, but that my poor niece is in trouble. Sigh, my poor niece!”
Yi Xiaodong was surprised to hear that Ma Niu had a niece. He had always thought that Ma Niu was a loner. He did not expect that he had relatives.
After Ma Niu sighed a few times, he finally told the whole story.
It turned out that Ma Niu was not surnamed Ma. He was an orphan since he was young. When he was just born, his parents starved to death on the way to escape due to the war. Ma Niu was considered lucky. After his parents died, it rained heavily. Ma Niu relied on the rain to survive for two days. Later, a Ma couple who were also fleeing saw that Ma Niu was really pitiful, so they ignored their dangerous situation and insisted on taking Ma Niu on a journey of escape.
After the war subsided, the family of three settled down in Yuaya City. Not long after, the adoptive mother gave birth to a son. Although they had their own flesh and blood, the Ma couple still treated Ma Niu as their own. He never favored his son.
Later, as Maniu gradually grew up and became sensible, his adoptive parents told him the mystery of his birth. Maniu was heartbroken and grateful to his adoptive parents for giving him a new life.
Later on, the family of four faced the most important and embarrassing thing in their history. Their two children were at the age of getting married and having children.
Although the family of four was extremely thrifty, all their savings only allowed one child to marry a wife.
Because he was the older brother, and because he was grateful to his adoptive parents, Ma Niu did not hesitate to reject the matchmaker that his parents were prepared to matchmake for him and gave this opportunity to his younger brother.
Not long after his younger brother got married, he raised a daughter and named her Ma Qingqing. Although the family of three was living in poverty, they were happy and harmonious, making others envious. However, good times did not last long. Because he wanted the family to live a better life, his younger brother went to do hard labor. He did not expect that he would die of exhaustion in the end. After learning of his husband's death, his wife fell ill and passed away.
After Ma Niu learned of the death of his brother and sister-in-law, he was heartbroken and took care of Qing Qing without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed. Coincidentally, on the second day of Qingqing's wedding, Ma Niu saved Yi Xiaodong.
Fate was often like this. If a person's life was bitter, she would be a lonely person no matter where she went.
Ma Qing Qing was a person with a bitter life. Not only did her parents die when she was young, but she finally grew up and got married. She thought that she could get rid of her lonely fate and live happily at home. However, she did not expect that on the night of her wedding, her husband would suddenly die in bed, and his death was extremely ugly. As a result, Ma Qing Qing turned from a wife to a widow in an instant. If that was the case, it would have been fine. However, due to the strange death of their son, their in-laws were so angry that they dragged Ma Qing Qing to the yamen and said that their son had been poisoned to death by her.
Misfortunes never came alone. After the coroner examined the corpse, he found out that the deceased had really been poisoned. Thus, Ma Qing Qing went from a widow to a prisoner. How could a weak woman like Ma Qing Qing endure the continuous blows? She was heartbroken, so she didn't even need to be interrogated by the county magistrate. Ma Qing Qing admitted her 'crime' and only hoped that she could die quickly.
Although there were still many doubts in the case, since Ma Qing Qing had already admitted her crimes, the county magistrate was happy to sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor. After hastily closing the case, he decided to execute her at noon three days later.
Ma Qing Qing had been relying on him since she was young. She would usually be sad for a few days even if she stepped on an ant. Now that she had just become a wife, how could she commit such a heinous crime? Although Ma Niu believed that his niece was innocent, how could he, a commoner, reverse the verdict for his niece? He had no choice but to sell his family's property everywhere to think of a way to let his niece eat better and sleep better in the last three days.
