Chapter 411 Gritting Teeth
Chapter 411 Gritting Teeth
Both sons came out of her belly, and she has watched them grow up, so naturally she knows their temperaments very well.
When they were in the capital before, Si Wei Zhong controlled them in everything for fear of repercussions. Now that they have come to Chengyang County, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, Si Wei Zhong cannot control them, so they will definitely come to the brothel.
Thinking of this, Wang Qiuhuo's eyes lit up. As long as she waited outside the brothel, her son would definitely show up. She just didn't know how many such brothels there were in Chengyang County?
She was unfamiliar with Chengyang County, and since she had come here today, she would wait here to see if her son would come out.
It was completely dark at this time. Nighttime was the busiest time for the brothel. Wang Qiuhuo hid in a corner, staring closely at everyone who came in and out.
Every time someone came, she looked carefully, fearing that she would miss her son. She waited until the hour of Hai, but still did not see either of them.
Wang Qiuhuo had suffered too much that day. By this time, she was exhausted. She didn't have a single penny on her. She was hungry, tired and sleepy.
She had to endure the hunger and found a place to sleep during the day. It was a dilapidated house covered with dust and it seemed that no one lived there. It was not far from here.
It was pitch black everywhere at night. Most people in ancient times went to bed early, and there were no pedestrians on the road at this time of year. Occasionally someone passed by, and the pale moonlight stretched the person's shadow very long.
Wang Qiuhuo was so tired that she walked towards that place with difficulty. Fortunately, there was moonlight tonight and she could vaguely see the road clearly.
When she arrived at the adobe house, she carefully observed from outside for a long time, and only walked in bravely after making sure that there was no one inside.
He groped his way to sit on the kang, keeping his ears alert to any sounds around him. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
She slept extremely uncomfortably that night. She had never suffered so much in her life. She had experienced it all in the past two days, and she was even more determined to find her son.
If she couldn't find her son, he would starve to death here. It seemed as if God had heard her prayers, for when she came to the door of the brothel again, she saw Si Chengren and Si Chengyi coming out arm in arm.
It is morning now. When they left here yesterday, it was already the hour of Hai. That is to say, the two of them were already in the brothel before she came.
After realizing this, Wang Qiuhe was so angry that she almost fell down. If she had known this would happen, she would have gone in to look for someone.
She recognized her two sons, but they did not recognize her. They passed Wang Qiuhe by and even hid aside in disgust.
"Stop right there, you two!" Wang Qiuhuo suddenly turned around and shouted at them.
Si Chengren and Si Chengyi froze in their tracks, thinking they had misheard. They looked at each other and slowly looked back at the same time.
They saw a ragged beggar glaring at them angrily. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary beggar, but when they looked closely at the beggar's face, the more they looked, the more familiar he looked. It was Wang Qiuhuo, their mother.
But how was this possible? Could they have seen it wrong? They looked again in disbelief and were sure that it was their mother without a doubt.
"Mom, why are you here? And why did it become like this?" Si Chengren's face was full of confusion.
"Did you encounter robbers on the way here?" Si Chengyi seemed to have a more developed imagination.
Seeing that her two sons recognized her, Wang Qiuhe felt extremely aggrieved. She hugged them tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Great, I finally found it.
After crying excitedly for a long time, Wang Qiuhuo slowly calmed down and realized belatedly that she was on the street.
"Where are you two living now? Take me there quickly. I'll tell you what happened when we get back."
The street was crowded with people coming and going, so it was indeed not a good place to talk, so the two men took her to a small courtyard facing the street.
This courtyard was rented by Si Chengren and Si Chengyi. They only paid one or two taels of silver in rent every month. It had three rooms and a kitchen.
They usually ate outside and the kitchen was never used. Wang Qiuhuo couldn't stand the smell on her body and wanted to take a shower.
She hurriedly lit a fire and boiled water, and asked Si Chengren to buy her some clothes. When she came out after taking a shower, it was already noon.
After days of exhaustion from traveling and the fright she had suffered yesterday, Wang Qiuhuo finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He recounted the story in an exaggerated way how Li Xiaoxiao framed him after they left, and at the end he added, "It was all Li Xiaoxiao's fault."
They didn't expect Li Xiaoxiao to be so insidious. Not only did he cause the two brothers to be sent to the farm, he even wanted to harm their mother. He really deserves to die.
"Are we just going to let her bully us like this and Dad won't do anything?" Si Chengyi slammed the table angrily.
"Your father can't deal with Li Xiaoxiao. That woman is too smart." Wang Qiuhuo was helpless. If he could deal with her, she would not be able to continue to jump around until now.
"The person who came to give us silver last time said that our store business has plummeted. Is that true?" This is what Si Chengren was most concerned about.
"Yes, Li Xiaoxiao specifically goes against your father. It's all because of her. Your father can't sleep well every day now." Wang Qiuhuo gritted her teeth in anger. Li Xiaoxiao was a thorn in her heart, and she wished she could tear her into pieces.
"She is just a woman, how can she have such ability? Is there someone behind her?" The more Si Chengren thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
The reason why I was fooled by Li Xiaoxiao was simply because I was bewitched by her beauty. Looking back now, the more I think about it, the more stupid I feel.
How did I fall into her trap? Otherwise I wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Their whole family lives in Si Chengxu's house. Who knows what they have done?" Wang Qiuhuo speculated maliciously. In her eyes, no one is a good person as long as they are related to the first wife.
"Things have come to this. We are so far away from the capital and there is nothing we can do. I hope Dad can find a way to punish her and avenge us both." Si Chengyi cursed viciously.
They had been in Chengyang County for quite some time. Even though they had money to spend, the county town was incomparable to the capital. They had long wanted to go back, but his father would not allow it.
If they go back secretly, given Si Wei Zhong's temper, he will break their legs, so they can only stay here obediently.
"By the way, Mom, how did you become like this?" Si Chengren seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
"Oh!" When mentioning this, Wang Qiuhuo sighed heavily.
