After Old Master died, the head of the Hai family was obviously Second Grandmother. Third Young Master was still young, but he still had some power.
Third Young Master arranged for Qiaohua's aunt to clean and tidy up his father's house before he moved in.
The little bull became his bodyguard and became the captain of the servants. Some people were still a little unconvinced at first, but the little bull was strong, had good marksmanship, and was so close to the third young master. Who dared to be stupid? They could only obey obediently.
From then on, Little Guniu was awe-inspiring in the Hai family and everyone was afraid of him.
Old Master Hai's wife was almost sixty years old and sick, so she didn't mind other people's business.
The mistress was the Third Young Master's biological mother. She was in her early fifties and usually liked to wink. She was a woman who could talk with her eyes and nose. She had a slightly longer face and a pointed chin, and she often wore a black cloth hood and blue calico clothes with slanted lapels.
As for Old Master's death, what kind of poison was it? She had once suspected Buckwheat Flower and the others, but without any evidence, it was useless to suspect anyone.
Moreover, when Old Master was alive, she was not allowed to interfere in the family's matters. Old Master had the final say and threw him aside. She couldn't wait for Old Master to die so that she could take charge of the family. Therefore, she did not want to waste her time and effort to investigate.
The people outside were discussing animatedly. Most of them still suspected that it was Qiaohua's aunt who planned it and made Qiaohua and her brother poison her.
If that was the case, Old Master Hai deserved his death. Not only did they get their revenge, but they also helped the villagers vent their anger.
Buckwheat Flower's stomach was getting bigger by the day. What should she do? Everyone was anxious about this matter.
Second Grandma had long known that the child in Qiaohua's stomach was caused by Old Master, so she was also anxious. She called Qiaohua's aunt to her side and said," Aunt Qiaohua, the matter of Qiaohua can't be hidden anymore. I called you over to ask you what to do about this matter.”，
"Because of this, I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep for a few nights. It's rare that Second Grandmother showed mercy and didn't punish her!”Aunt Buckwheat said with a smile.
"How is that possible? This was all the fault of that buried old bastard, who made Buckwheat Flower pregnant. Besides, who was she? Your nephew! My heart aches for her too." Second Grandmother winked and replied with a smile.
Qiaohua's aunt said sweetly," Thank you for your kind intentions, Second Grandmother. I thought about it and decided that it wouldn't be good to let her go home and give birth. If she did that, her reputation would be ruined for the rest of her life. It was better to find a suitable man for her to start a family and give birth to her officially.”
"That's a good idea, but where can I find such a man? Don't be in my stomach
Who would still want a doll?" Second Grandma said sympathetically.
Buckwheat Flower had a long face all day, not knowing what to do. She was not married yet, but her stomach was already protruding. It was truly a disgrace to the ghost face.
Her aunt told her about the plan she had discussed with Second Grandmother. This was good too. But where can I find such a man? Who would want me?
Qiaohua's aunt had inquired and searched many times. Finally, ten miles away from Lu Chubi, there was a man in his thirties living in a cave.
This man came from nowhere and lived here alone for many years. People thought he had leprous and never interacted with him. They also didn't know his surname or name. This person was tall and thin, and his hair was messy.
The cave he lived in had a large inclined stone cliff at the top. He covered the entrance of the cave with pine trees and pine feathers. There was a slope outside the cave, and there was a clear ditch flowing through the slope. He had reclaimed all the slopes into cultivated land and planted vegetables and crops on them.
Some old people or children had to go around when carrying firewood or herding sheep.
This person's accent was not local, and he did not have any illness. It was just that one of his hands was very inflexible, but he was very capable.
People said that he often came to Rushuka Stronghold at night to help Big Father Li plow the land and carry things. He was very strong, kind-hearted, hardworking, and knew how to live. There was no leper at all. It was just that he did not dare to come into contact with outsiders and was timid.
Qiaohua's aunt found Auntie Li to check on the situation. He also informed them of his intentions.
Aunt Li and the others knew that although Aunt Qiaohua was the housekeeper of the Hai family, she was kind and treated the villagers very well. Therefore, people affectionately called her Big Sister Lu.
Auntie Li told her about the man's background.""This person passed here seven or eight years ago with a group of people in tattered military uniforms. He was beaten up by the Kuomingtang army and lay in a short canopy. He was discovered by Big Father Li when he was herding the sheep and secretly carried him home.”
There were two people in the Li family, his wife and him. They were a pair of lonely old men who were also Yi people.
"This injured young man is only in his twenties. He has a slender face and is yellow and thin.
Seeing his left hand and left foot bleeding and looking pitiful, the two old men felt their hearts ache. It just so happened that they had no children by their side and wanted to adopt him. Big Father Li knew herbs, so he carried him back to treat his injuries. No one knew.
Later, he learned that the Red Army had come from Guizhou and was preparing to go to Qujing. When they passed by Wutai Slope Road, they were scattered by the Kuomingtang army.
It was said that a Red Army soldier was injured and did not leave. The troops of the National Party searched everywhere but could not find him.
The two old men hid him in this cave and often secretly brought him food. He also told the people that he was a leper living in the cave. Thus, no one dared to approach the cave, let alone search it.
In this way, seven or eight years passed.
