Chen Jiuniang had this thought, but she didn't dare to believe it. She hurriedly looked at her son again. She was surprised to find that her son's smile wasn't as silly as before. Then she saw his eyes again.
They were clear and bright, and there was even a trace of slyness.
Chen Jiuniang was startled. Her son really didn't seem silly anymore! But why was there a strange feeling when she looked at him?
Actually, Ye Kong was also feeling guilty. When he realized that Chen Jiuniang was staring at him, his heart felt creepy.
Old woman, what are you looking at? You lost a silly son and got a smart and handsome one. You're secretly happy!
Of course, Ye Kong didn't say that out loud. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother, do you feel that today's time is different from before? Hehe, you don't have to worry about this. Your son is still your son. As for why it's different, it's because I had a dream tonight. A white-bearded old man said that from today onwards, you won't be silly anymore … So, my brain worked again. Hey, mother, don't cry! "
Listening to her son's fluent speech, Chen Jiuniang's face was already covered in tears. She was really too happy. These were tears of joy, tears of happiness, tears of excitement …
This Chen Jiuniang was also a woman with a bitter life. Since young, because of her ugly appearance, poor family, and especially many brothers and sisters, she had never lived a good life.
But although her face was ugly, her hands were skillful. She was good at sewing, and her embroidery was especially good. The things she embroidered were vivid and lifelike.
No matter how skillful and kind a woman was, no one would want her if she had this kind of appearance. There were no plastic surgery hospitals in Cang Nan continent. With this kind of appearance, even if a beggar paid two hundred copper coins, the beggar wouldn't agree.
Thus, when Chen Jiuniang was eighteen years old and still unmarried, she could be considered as a young adult. Since she couldn't find a husband, she couldn't live and eat for free at her parents' house. When Chen Jiuniang was free, she would help others with sewing.
Although Chen Jiuniang's love life was blank, her work was very smooth. She was skillful and not afraid of hardships. After a while, she won the appreciation of the General's Mansion of the South. The old lady of the Ye Family let Chen Jiuniang come to the General's Mansion to do embroidery every day. She changed from a temporary worker to a formal worker.
The days weren't good, but they were fulfilling.
However, this woman was quite unlucky. She was doing her embroidery well, but one afternoon, the General of the South, Ye Haoran, got drunk. No one knew how this fellow ended up in the embroidery room.
Coincidentally, Chen Jiuniang was in the embroidery room. Coincidentally, Lord Ye saw her from the right.
At that time, Lord Ye was young and successful, with illustrious military achievements. As the saying goes, good teeth, good appetite, good mood, and strong desire.
General Ye, who was drunk and blinded, saw that the embroidery mother looked good. It was very good. He was impulsive after drinking. Naturally, he didn't care whether the girl was willing or not. He pulled Chen Jiuniang and dragged her to the bed.
When Lord Ye woke up and saw the face of the woman in his arms like the scene of a car accident, his disgust could be imagined.
Originally, it was nothing for general Ye to play with a girl, but who knew that this time, Chen Jiuniang was pregnant.
After ten months of pregnancy, Ye Kong, who was white and fat, was born. Ye Haoran's mother liked it very much.
As a result, Chen Jiuniang's luck changed and she officially lived in Ye's house. Of course, there is no status. Three wives and four concubines can't be counted as her; there is no favor. Ye Haoran's back is numb when he sees her. He needs it and doesn't need it.
However, it's good for Chen Jiuniang. She has an independent courtyard, two servants, and some scattered silver. As a woman of an ordinary family, it's enough.
But the good days didn't last long. The old lady traveled west. The first lady died a few years ago. The head of the family became the narrow-minded second lady.
As a result, Chen Jiuniang's servant girl was transferred away. The silver was getting less and less, and the embroidery work was getting more and more. She slowly became a servant.
In the beginning, Ye Hao Ran still said a few words for his son's sake. However, when Ye Kong grew up, Lord Ye was surprised to find out that not only was this brat's tongue not nimble, his brain was also not nimble. He was disappointed, and from then on, he no longer cared about this poor mother and son's matter.
Soon, Chen Jiuniang changed from a servant to an inferior one. In the past, when she was a servant, she only did the embroidery work of the master. Now even the servants and maids sent the sewing work. Even if Chen Jiuniang worked hard, she had to embroider late at night every day and couldn't finish it.
In short, this woman was very miserable. She had never lived a good life in her life. She was ugly and gave birth to an idiot son. In the courtyard, she was bullied, laughed at behind her back, and scolded in front of her face. This was a common thing.
There is a lyric that is the most appropriate. "I seem to see a tragedy playing, there is no joy in the play …"
But who knew that the heavens had eyes. When her son woke up, he was no longer an idiot.
Happiness came too suddenly. She could only use tears to express it.
"Mother, don't cry." Ye Kong was a little flustered. Most men were afraid of women crying. He was no exception.
"Kong 'er really recovered. Mother is happy." Chen Jiuniang said with tears in her eyes.
"As long as you are happy, as long as you are happy." Ye Kong suddenly felt his nose turn sour. He stretched out his small hand and helped Chen Jiuniang wipe away the tears on her face. He didn't avoid the black and red scar.
"Mother, don't worry. I will definitely cure the black scar on your face." Ye Kong said with determination.
Chen Jiuniang felt that her son was comforting her. She wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Then mother will wait for you to grow up to cure mother."
"It's fine if you don't grow up." Ye Kong believed that nothing in the world was difficult for those who set their minds on it.
Chen Jiuniang didn't want her son to delay his future just to cure her face. It was fine if he was silly in the past, but now that he wasn't silly, he still had to learn and practice martial arts.
She said with a smile, "This matter is not urgent. Mother is used to being looked at by others anyway."
"How can this be? From now on, you are my mother. If anyone dares to look at me, I, Ye Kong, will definitely beat him until his mother can't recognize him. "Ye Kong said word by word.
"You silly child. You are saying silly things again. How can you beat people just because they look at you?" Chen Jiuniang found his words funny and chided him with a smile.
"That's because they are asking for a beating!" Ye Kong said with a smile. He supported Chen Jiuniang and said, "Mother, let's go back to the house and talk. In the past, I didn't study and didn't know many things. I would like to ask you for guidance."
When Chen Jiuniang heard her son speak more and more eloquently and elegantly, she was overjoyed.
Just as Ye Kong and Chen Jiuniang met and chatted under the moonlight, a man and a woman in the room next door opened the curtain and lit an oil lamp.
The man was a yellow-faced man in his forties. He pulled up his pants and muttered, "Who is crying and howling in the middle of the night? Damn it, I just came back in the middle of the night. I can't even sleep in peace with my wife! "
A middle-aged woman reclined in the tent. She pulled a thin blanket to cover her white buttocks and scolded, "It's that female ghost next door and her silly boy."
"Let me shout a few times to make them calm down." The middle-aged man wanted to open the window.
"Hey, Lao Si!" Suddenly, the middle-aged woman jumped down from the bed without a single cover. She grabbed the man's arm and said with a smile, "Are you stupid? If you shout like that, they will calm down, but what benefits do we get?"
The middle-aged man called Lao Si scratched his head and said in confusion, "We get benefits?"
The middle-aged woman pushed the man and scolded, "Why are you so stupid? Housekeeper Ye Cai covets her money every month. Sister Ma in the kitchen also blackmails her every few days. You're the only idiot! "
Lao Si understood and said with a smile, "My wife is still the smartest. I'll go and blackmail her. Such an ugly woman and a silly son, what's the use of money? It's better to blackmail her to find a martial arts master for our third son!"
Lao Si's wife saw that the man was enlightened and laughed, "You bastard, you're finally enlightened. Come back quickly. I'm not full yet."
"Old woman, just you wait!" The man called Lao Si groped his wife again before walking out of the door.
Lao Si rushed to the room next door and shouted at Ye Kong and his wife, who were about to enter the room, "Hey! What are you doing here? Why are you crying in the middle of the night? Can't you let others sleep? "
Ye Kong looked up and saw a man who looked like a servant walking in from outside the courtyard. He was about forty years old and his clothes were untidy. He looked like he had just crawled out of bed.
Ye Kong quickly found this person from his inherited memories. Lao Si, who was the housekeeper, lived next door. Because he was a distant relative of the second wife, he often bullied the mother and daughter.
"Oh, it's Housekeeper Li. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Kong 'er regained her senses just now and couldn't help but shout happily. I'm really sorry." Chen Jiuniang hurriedly went forward and apologized.
"What the hell? Look at your face in the day and you still shout at night. That idiot, other than eating pig's food, is he normal?" Lao Si didn't have any intention of letting it go.
"Housekeeper Li, don't worry. I won't do it again. I won't." Chen Jiuniang kept apologizing.
But Lao Si didn't see the money, so he naturally wouldn't stop. He shouted again, "Do you think it's easy for me? I woke up in the middle of the night to do night watch and was woken up by you as soon as I fell asleep! I only took a few taels of salary! "
When he said this, Chen Jiuniang understood. He was here to extort money. It was unreasonable to extort money, but she was an orphan and a widow. She could only spend money to avoid disaster.
Chen Jiuniang's monthly allowance was almost deducted. She was reluctant to use it, and in the end, it was all extorted by others.
It was the end of the month, and she was tight on money. She fumbled in her sleeves for a long time before she took out a small silver barley and handed it to Lao Si.
"Housekeeper Li, we're an orphan and a widow. We've troubled you a lot. This is a small gift."
If you're not an orphan and a widow, I won't bully you! Lao Si coldly snorted. He weighed the silver in his hand and was somewhat dissatisfied. This was too little.
"You want to dismiss me with this little bit of silver?" Li Lao Si opened his hand and threw the small silver in front of Chen Jiuniang. He scolded, "Tomorrow morning, I'll report to Second Grandmother that you're making noise in the middle of the night. It's so noisy that people can't sleep. She will drive you out of the General's Mansion!"
Chen Jiuniang was anxious. They had no one to rely on. The world was difficult. If they left the General's Mansion, they would only be more miserable. This was what she was most worried about. But the key was that she really didn't have any money in her hands.
"Caretaker Li, please forgive me. Here's some money, I owe you. I'll pay you back once the monthly salary is paid." Chen Jiuniang hurriedly picked up the silver and stuffed it into Li Laosi's hands. She kept bowing.
"That's more like it." Li Lao Si put away the silver barley and snorted, "Two taels!"
"Yes, yes, two taels. Housekeeper Li, take care." Chen Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief. But she was worried. There were still a few days before the monthly allowance was released. How could she live without a penny?
Li Lao Si's goal was achieved. He turned around and left proudly. But when he turned his head, he saw Ye Kong, who had always been in a daze, blocking the entrance of the courtyard with a brick.
Ye Kong was so angry that his chest was about to explode. The flame of anger surged in his chest as if it was going to burst out at any time.
This is too much! Even a hooligan or a scoundrel would not go so far! Just because I shouted and cried at night, you want to be blackmailed? Is there any justice in this world?
What's more, you know that your family has no money, but you still want to make an appointment for next month's monthly allowance. Have you bastards ever thought about how I and my son can live without money? Do you have to force me to death?
He knew that he had to keep a low profile when he first came to this place. He also knew that impulsiveness was the devil. He also knew that taking a step back was the way he should be …
But it was not his character to swallow humiliation! It was also not his style to lower his head and pretend to be a grandson! If he continued to endure, he would become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!
"Put down the silver and apologize to my mother! Otherwise, it's easy to enter but hard to leave! "
Ye Kong seemed to have returned to Hanzheng Street. He stood with his body tilted and weighed the brick in his hand. His eyes narrowed and his eyebrows raised in disdain. There was also a hint of a cold smile on his face.
"Hey!" That Li Lao Si was surprised by Ye Kong today. He thought to himself that this kid's words were so sharp and his temper had also grown. Could it be that he was not stupid?
But even if he was not stupid, he was still a child. So what if he was not stupid? This Li Lao Si was surprised but not afraid. He sneered, "You really are not stupid. You know how to think of yourself as a master. If you talk to me like this, be careful that I don't hit you again!"
Li Lao Si originally thought that this kid was just bluffing with the brick and did not dare to really hit him. This fool used to shout that the chicken was so pitiful when he saw people killing a chicken. Could he bear to hit people with a brick?
However, who would have thought that Ye Kong was good at using bricks to smash people? Even if there weren't a thousand people who had been hit by his bricks, there were at least eight hundred of them. There was simply no such thing as not being able to do it. Without even thinking, he made his move.
"Bang!" A brick hit Li Lao Si's face without any suspense. He cried out and his nose bled. Li Lao Si was so scared that he quickly squatted down and pinched his nose.
"Kong 'er, don't!" Chen Jiuniang had never seen such a bloody fight scene. She was so scared that she quickly rushed over and pulled Ye Kong.
"Mother, a kind horse will be ridden by others, and a kind person will be bullied by others. The more you are weak and easy to bully, the more these evil slaves will climb on you. Hehe, I want them to understand that from now on, there is one more evil person in this courtyard that cannot be bullied!"
After saying that, Ye Kong bared his teeth and glared. He pushed Chen Jiuniang away and aimed the brick at Li Lao Si, who was squatting on the ground, and smashed it on his head.
"Ah!" Li Lao Si screamed. His legs went soft and he knelt down. He shouted, "Stop hitting, someone is going to die."
"Apologize!" Ye Kong roared.
"I apologize, I apologize." That Li Lao Si had been beaten silly by the two bricks. He felt that his head and face were bleeding. When he saw that Ye Kong was about to hit him again, he quickly hugged Ye Kong's leg and begged, "Eighth Young Master, this old servant was blind. I beg Eighth Young Master to spare this old servant's dog life."
"If his mother had said this earlier, then he wouldn't have had to be beaten. This servant was blind. " Ye Kong smiled cruelly and smacked Li Lao Si's mouth with the brick. This made Li Lao Si truly feel how terrifying he was.
"It's you who was blind. This old servant won't dare to do it again." Li Lao Si said as he took out the silver from his sleeve. However, his heart was filled with hatred towards Ye Kong and his mother. He hatefully thought that when he returned, he would definitely tell Second Madam and let her deal with them!
"Are you thinking of reporting to your master?" How could this little thought be hidden from Ye Kong? He rolled his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, this old man is not afraid. Do you know what this old man used to do? This old man is a hoodlum! Whoever provokes me, I will risk my life with them! Remember! No matter how useless this old man is, I am still surnamed Ye! If you want to teach this old man a lesson, you can only do so if the Ye Clan is exterminated! "
"Kong 'er, forget it, forget it, mother is afraid." Chen Jiuniang hugged Ye Kong's arm again. She was afraid that he would be impulsive and beat someone to death.
"Scram!" When Ye Kong said this, Li Lao Si covered his face and didn't dare to turn back as he fled.
Chen Jiuniang sighed, "Ai, Kong 'er, what can you do if you provoke the general? You have caused trouble for mother."
After Ye Kong finished beating up Li Lao Si, he felt much better in his heart. However, he thought that this Li Lao Si would definitely go back and find someone to take revenge on him. As for him, he was only a twelve year old youth. How could he withstand the storm?
He could only make himself stronger! Trample all those who bullied him under his feet!
Ye Kong strengthened his confidence. Since he came here, he would do a good job. He would rather die standing than live kneeling! He couldn't lose face for the hoodlums of Earth!
