When he returned home, Wu Da had gone out to sell cooking cakes and had not returned. Wu Song asked about the recent situation at home and greeted his son,"That day, when I came back from selling eggs, I heard from my father that you went out to look for work, but when it was almost dark, you still didn't return. At this time, Aunt Huizhen said that you were captured by the government, so Father immediately rushed to the county government, but the officials in the county government said that you were not there. After Father came back, he confronted Aunt Huizhen. Aunt Huizhen insisted that you were captured by Constable Ye of the county government. However, Father went to the county government every day to inquire about it, but there was no news. Later, he thought that you had left without saying goodbye like before, so he ignored you. Because of this, Father was very angry with Aunt Huizhen for a while, saying that she was making things up out of nothing, making up right and wrong, and harboring bad intentions. Second Uncle, where did you go? Was Aunt Huizhen right, or was the person in the government right? Did they catch you or not?"
When Wu Song heard this, he thought to himself," It seems that Minister Li is really going to collude with the county government to sentence me to death. He's afraid that if brother knows about it and spreads it around, it'll have a big impact. It's not good to die, so he deliberately hid the truth. When brother hears about me, I'll already be separated from him." These people are really vicious!" He felt a wave of resentment in his heart, but then he thought,"But why did they let me go later? Was it really that b * tch who said that? If that's the case, I'd rather die!”However, his expression remained unchanged. Afraid that Ying 'er would be afraid, he stroked Ying' er's hair and said with a smile,"Aunt Huizhen and the government are both right and wrong. That day, it was indeed Constable Ye from the county government who took me away. Aunt Huizhen mistakenly thought that I was arrested, but in fact, I wasn't. The county magistrate knew that I had some ability, so he asked me to go on a errand. I left on the same day, so when your father went to inquire, I was indeed not in the county government.”
Ying 'er was skeptical, but she didn't probe further. She thought for a moment and said,""Second Uncle, you really are capable. Even the county magistrate wants you to do something for him. Our family finally has an official. In the future, when daddy goes out to sell cooking cakes and I go out to sell eggs, no one will bully us anymore.”
Wu Song looked at her innocent appearance and couldn't bear to expose her. He said,""In the future, you and your father don't have to go out and work hard. I have money to support you!”In fact, this was not empty talk. Wu Song often wandered outside. Although he did not have a proper job, he was never short of money. It was just that when he took back the money and handed it over to the martial arts university, the martial arts university would not dare to accept a single cent. They said that the money came from an improper source and would rather work early and late to sell baked buns.
Ying 'er said," I'll save the money Second Uncle earns for myself. I'll need it when I get married in the future. I can support myself."”
Wu Song smiled and said,"How old are you? You already know how to get married. Aren't you ashamed?"”
Ying 'er said," I may be young, but I know all this. What's there to be ashamed of? However, I don't need to marry a wife. Only you guys do. I'm waiting for someone else to marry me!" As she spoke, she raised her head proudly. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and said,"Second Uncle, you, are you going to marry Aunt Huizhen?”His voice was a little stuttering, and his eyes were a little flickering.
Wu Song didn't pay attention at first and casually said,""You're just a child. Don't ask these questions!”
Ying 'er said,"During the time you weren't around, something happened in our alley. It's related to you marrying Aunt Huizhen." If you don't marry Aunt Huizhen, I'll say," If you want to marry her, I can't say it.”
"What is it?" Wu Song asked anxiously. Tell me!"
Ying 'er hesitated for a long time. Unable to resist Wu Song's urging, she finally said,""A few days ago, Aunt Huizhen got married!”
"What?" "Are you kidding me?" Wu Song stood up and said. Who did Huizhen marry?"
Ying 'er said," I'm not sure about this. That day, Father didn't allow me to go and watch the show, nor did he allow me to ask around outside." I knew it wasn't a good thing, so I didn't ask.”Seeing that Wu Song's face had turned purplish red, he said slowly in a low voice,""However, I only heard it from my father unintentionally. When I asked him about the details, he refused to tell me. I don't know if it's true or not.”
Wu Song gave an 'oh' and did not say anything else. After settling Ying 'er down at home, he went to look for Hui Zhen. When she arrived at Huizhen's house, she found that the door was locked and was suspicious."Hui Zhen never goes out. Could she really be married? If not, where did he go?" Coincidentally, a granny next door walked out. Wu Song asked where Hui Zhen went. That granny said,"Hui Zhen is considered lucky. She married into the Li family three days ago. Although she was the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, it was said that Minister Li was closer to the housekeeper than his own son! You didn't see how grand it was at that time. Colorful flags, colorful cars, eight sedan chairs, music, and drums. It was so lively! There were two big boxes of betrothal gifts! She was a married daughter of a rich family! Alas, a good person is not as good as a good life. Huizhen was greedy for such a father, but she met such a good family. Her father gambled his entire life, and in the end, he married his daughter and obtained a family business that he could not earn back in a few lifetimes…"
Wu Song only felt his head explode. He did not listen to what the granny said after that. As if he was drunk, he staggered to the street. He did not know what he was feeling. Wu Song had lived for more than twenty years. Although he had accomplished nothing, he had always been free and easy. He did not work hard for life, nor was he bound by fame and fortune. He ate and drank as he wanted. When he saw injustice, he would help. It was all based on his own preferences. When had he been deceived by others? If it was someone else, Wu Song would have beaten or killed them without a second word to vent his anger. However, the person who betrayed him now was the person he loved most. Where did this come from?
Wu Song thought about it as he walked. Suddenly, he thought of what Hui Zhen said that day: "If you don't bring me along, I'll become a member of the Li family sooner or later.”His heart seemed to tremble. Could it be that Liu Sanqiang married Huizhen? With the style of the Li family, it must be like this. At the thought of this, anger suddenly rose in his heart. These bullies, Grandpa will kill all of you today! So he went to a blacksmith shop and ordered a fast knife. He put down the deposit and said that he would come to collect it in the evening. Then, he entered a hotel and ordered a table full of food and wine. After drinking five or seven jars of wine, he paid the bill and staggered out of the hotel when he saw that it was almost dusk.
When he walked to the street, the alcohol surged up and he felt light-headed. He almost fell down, but he kept cursing. Passers-by avoided him as much as possible. As he was walking, he heard someone call out,"Hero Wu Er, please come over here!"”It was a woman's voice.
Wu Song looked sideways and saw a young woman dressed as a maid standing in a corner waving at him. She asked in a muffled voice,"Who are you? Why are you calling me?" Stumbling over, he sized up the woman, but he didn't recognize her. She was very pretty.
The woman looked around and whispered,""I am the servant girl of Minister Li's family. My surname is Pan, and my nickname is Jinlian. A few days ago, Butler Liu San married Miss Hui Zhen. Because Miss Hui Zhen doesn't like to interact with others and only has a good relationship with me, we became best friends.”
When Wu Song heard that Pan Jinlian and Hui Zhen were on good terms, his entire body trembled. He took two steps forward, grabbed her shoulders, and pushed her non-stop. He asked anxiously,"Tell me quickly, did Liu Sanqiang marry Huizhen, and Huizhen herself did not agree? Where was she now? Tell me, tell me!"
