Chapter 18

The meeting gift given by the second master

While talking, the second master came out with something in his hand.

It's a silver bracelet, heavy.

The meeting gift given by the second master to Jiang Lu.

Jiang Lu looked at Zhou Chunhe and didn't dare to accept it.

Even if she married into the Zhou family, she had never received such a decent meeting gift.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Zhou Chunhe asked.

"Most of the body has been buried..."

Zhou Chunhe interrupted, "I don't like hearing what you say. If you say anything else, I'm leaving."

"Don't tell me, don't tell me," the second master said with a smile, "my mother passed this on to my daughter-in-law. She was not lucky enough to leave. Second master, I have no children and no descendants. It would be a waste to let it go, so why not give it to me?"

Your wife can be considered a little bit of my love."

"Second Master, this can't be done. I just stopped by to see you. Don't worry about anything." Jiang Lu hurriedly pushed.

"If you accept it, the second master will not be considered unrelated in this world. I also know that a hundred years from now, this boy will probably be the one who sent me to the mountain. If you don't accept it, this door will be like this in the future.

Don't go in, the second master can't afford it."

"Who wants you to pay it back?" Zhou Chunhe said in a loud voice.

"Whether you want it or not is your business, and it's still my business. Chunhe, the second master has lived a clean life, and I don't want to become a mess with you."

"This old man..." Zhou Chunhe cursed, but he couldn't come up with a reason even after scolding him.

Jiang Lu pulled Zhou Chunhe to sit down, "Second Master, then I'll accept it."

"How can you accept it?" Zhou Chunhe looked at his wife and couldn't understand. This is probably the second master's coffin book.

But Jiang Lu pretended not to hear even though Zhou Chunhe's eyes were sore.

When he returned, Zhou Chunhe didn't even take the initiative to hold his wife's hand.

Jiang Lu let him go without explaining.

Both rooms in the Zhou family's courtyard were lit with faint candlelight, which was the oil lamp lit by Mrs. Zhou. She wanted to keep the New Year's Eve up tonight.

As soon as the firewood door rang, Mrs. Zhou came out with socks sewn in her hands, "Did you go there again?"

"Mom, I can't blame the second master for what happened to grandpa back then. Why can't you explain it?" Zhou Chunhe drank some wine and felt a little sulky again, and he became a little impatient with his mother.

"You damn kid, you have grown up and your wings have hardened, and you don't even listen to my mother's words, right? I told you not to go, but you still go, do you still have me as a mother in your eyes?" Mrs. Zhou cursed hysterically.

Jiang Lu suddenly became very curious. What was going on? Why did her mother-in-law dislike the second master so much?

"Mom, let's go inside first while Chunhe drinks some wine." Jiang Lu said calmly, then helped Zhou Chunhe.

"I'm not drunk." Zhou Chunhe shook off Jiang Lu's hand.

Jiang Lu squeezed his waist with two fingers and used a little force.

Zhou Chunhe stopped talking.

"Go in, out of sight, out of mind, that's the end of it." Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said sadly.

As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Lu let go of Zhou Chunhe's hand and asked, "Is your mother having a holiday with the second master?"

Zhou Chunhe grabbed the teapot on the table and took a sip of water. However, the weather was cold and the water was already cold. Zhou Chunhe took a big sip, and the unknown fire in his heart died down by three points, and he squinted his eyes.

My delicate daughter-in-law, "Want to hear it?"

Jiang Lu saw the desire in his eyes and shrank subconsciously, "I don't really want to."

"Lying, I obviously really want to." Zhou Chunhe said with a smile.

Jiang Lu swallowed, "Don't force it."

"You don't force me. You kiss me without force at all." Zhou Chunhe acted like a rogue and moved closer.

Jiang Lu stretched out her hands to hold his head, which was getting closer, turned around and said, "I'm going to wash my face."

However, Zhou Chunhe held his wrist with his backhand. His center of gravity was unsteady and he fell into Zhou Chunhe's arms.

"Why are you more anxious than me?" Zhou Chunhe said with a wicked smile.

Jiang Lu's face turned red to her ears, "Let go of me."

How could Zhou Chunhe be willing to comply? He bit his wife's earlobe and murmured, "You don't know, that might be the second master's coffin book."

Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, then he endured the numbness all over his body and said, "I don't know where. Because of this, you should make the second master feel at ease and at ease."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Chunhe's tongue didn't stop moving.

Because Jiang Lu doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, Zhou Chunhe smokes less often when he comes in, but when he's not around, he still secretly smokes one or two cigarettes so that he doesn't smell like cigarettes all over his body.

into Jiang Lu’s nose.

This smell became more and more overbearing in the dead of night, and she was about to fall.

Holding his breath, Jiang Lu said: "Second Master has no one to rely on in this life and has nowhere to go. If you don't care about him and have no relationship with him, he will naturally be able to entrust you with your posthumous affairs. He is an eighty-year-old man."

, what else do you value in him? It's just that there is someone behind him to show his filial piety, but you have no relationship with him. If you are rashly asked to be this filial son, he will feel sorry after all. It is better to recognize this relative.

From now on, the second master will have nothing to worry about."

After Jiang Lu finished speaking, Zhou Chunhe didn't speak for a long time.

"Am I wrong?" Jiang Lu asked.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Zhou Chunhe smacked his lips.

"What's wrong with the mouth?"

"I remember your father said you only went to elementary school, how could you say such educated words?" Zhou Chunhe made no secret of his admiration.

"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Lu said with a smile. She hadn't analyzed the three major issues in life with him yet.

"Then just keep it." Zhou Chunhe finally convinced himself.

"Then tell me about your mother and second master." Jiang Lu was still curious.

"Kiss me." Zhou Chunhe did not forget.

"Get out!" Jiang Lu punched me. If I didn't lose my temper, I would treat me like a little sheep.

"I said, I said." Zhou Chunhe relented.

The more he looks at this wife, the more he looks at her.

"Then hurry up." Jiang Lu urged.

"No kiss, just give me a hug from the head office?" Unexpectedly, Zhou Chunhe came forward again.

This time Jiang Lu floated over with a single glance.

"That's it, I'm not sure..." Zhou Chunhe finally started speaking honestly.

It turns out that the second master's family was still a well-known large family in Wangjiaba Village. Later, due to some historical reasons, it declined and the family property was confiscated. Zhou Chunhe's grandfather worked as a long-term laborer in the second master's family at that time (

There are three types of people who work for people. Those who are paid on an annual basis are called long-term workers, those who are paid on a daily basis are called short-term workers, and those who only come to help during busy times are called busy workers. Among them, herding cattle is one of his main jobs.

Content. The second master was not very old at that time, and his father was in charge of the house. Once, when my grandfather came back from herding cattle, he drove the cattle back to the cattle pen. Before they got home, the cattle in the cattle pen fell down, and there was no one.

It's a shame to struggle.

The second master’s family sent someone to call grandpa over for questioning. The man on the road spilled the beans. Grandpa was so frightened that he peed on the spot. He thought his employer had appointed him to be sent to prison. His life was worthless, how could he harm the family?

What to do? So he lied to the man and said he would go back to get something. As a result, the man waited around and waited for no one to come. When he went back, he found his grandpa hanging in his woodshed, and he was out of breath.

"Your grandpa hanged himself because of this?" Jiang Lu couldn't believe it.

"No, now we think a cow is nothing, but at that time, even a human life was not necessarily worth the life of a cow. Grandpa was really scared."

"That's why your mother remembered grandpa's death at the second master's house?"

"Otherwise? They feel that although the second master's family did not kill grandpa directly, grandpa did commit suicide out of fear."

"The second master is not old enough then, right?"

"I'm about the same age as my grandpa, but I'm just pampered and have different fates." Zhou Chunhe said lightly.

Jiang Lu stopped talking.

After a while, "Why are you so nice to the second master?"

"Because the old man saved my life. When I was a child, I went down to the river to catch fish, but I couldn't catch the fish and my feet cramped. Fortunately, my second uncle came..."

Jiang Lu sighed for a while.
