Zhao Susu hurriedly called out: "Ayu!"

Meng Yu came back and saw the door was closed. She had a hunch that something was wrong.

Why close the door in broad daylight?

Ever since Zhao Susu knew that the shop was owed two hundred coins every morning when it opened, she never closed the shop during the day.

So her first reaction was that something was wrong.

She didn't care about anything else and pushed the door. Was it locked? This was even more wrong, so she pushed harder.

The strong monster boy's strength is not for show. The door bolt broke and the door opened.

She saw Cao Shuqing at a glance, and the resentment in his eyes.

Meng Yu ran over and stood in front of Zhao Susu: "Son of a butcher, what are you doing?"

This title made Cao Shuqing's eyebrows jump. He stared at Meng Yu and said word by word: "Who of you killed my father?"

Zhao Susu couldn't listen any longer: "You're not done yet, are you? Even if your father died and you're very sad, you can't hold us, mother and daughter, responsible for his death! We live in the town and haven't even returned to the village. What does it have to do with us?"

Meng Yu was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw Zhao Susu speak such a long speech in front of outsiders.

He patted Zhao Susu soothingly, and then she turned her head and said, "You are lying! When we came to the town, the bad guy who killed the pig was still fine. If he really died, would you be sad? I have never seen you curse your own father like this!"

A child's eyes are clean, open, and innocent enough to see through things at a glance.

This was indeed her real thought. Cao the Butcher was her biological father. How could there be any sadness on his face?

But Cao Shuqing didn't believe it.

The biggest change since his return is this mother and daughter.

The real problem can only lie with them.

He looked at Meng Yu and said, "You speak very fluently!"

“I’m smart!”

He suddenly showed a big smile: "You are right, Brother Qing's Yufan is the smartest!"

Meng Yu rolled his eyes in disdain: "I belong to my mother! Your father is a big bad guy, and you are a little bad guy!"

"Yufan, is the pearl hairpin I gave you still there on Changyang Bridge?"

Meng Yu looked puzzled: "When did I take your things? And pig food? My family doesn't even feed pigs, why do I need your pig food?"

Cao Shuqing stared at her closely. The little girl was angry, but there was no emotion in her eyes. She was just angry, as if she was wronged.

She doesn’t know? Doesn’t she know about Changyang Bridge? Doesn’t she know about Zhuchai?

In his previous life, he went to take the examination for the scholar, and took her with him to take care of his daily life. He successfully passed the county examination and the prefectural examination, and the academy examination was in Jiazhou City.

On that day, they met a wedding procession, with music and drums making the scene very lively. He looked at Meng Yufan, a pretty girl beside him. Although she was wearing cloth clothes and cloth shoes, without any makeup or jewelry, she was still pretty and charming. On a whim, he took her to visit the night market in Jiazhou.

There is a Changyang Bridge in Jiazhou City. It is brightly lit at night. He pulled her onto the bridge, took out a pearl hairpin he had bought long ago, and put it in her hair.

Meng Yufan blushed under the light, feeling happy and shy.

That night, he had sex with her in the inn.

That was their first time!

He is nineteen and she is fifteen!

Which woman doesn't have a deep memory of her first time? And it's not an exaggeration to say that the pearl hairpin is their token of love.

If she was angry before, as long as he mentioned the pearl hairpin and Changyang Bridge, they would be able to reconcile.

She was devoted to him and loved him terribly.

But he just mentioned that Meng Yufan was not touched at all and still looked very unfamiliar. Was she pretending?

Meng Yu is not pretending.

She had read the book, but in that book, Meng Yufan was just a cannon fodder. There was very little description of her in the book, so the details of Meng Yufan and Cao Shuqing's relationship were naturally not described one by one.

Now Cao Shuqing pretends to be affectionate in front of her. Not to mention that she is completely unaware of it, even if she knew, she would only feel disgusted.

"My father drowned the day before you moved to town!"

Cao Shuqing's sinister eyes were like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike, as if he wanted to stare a hole in Meng Yu.

Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head: "Is your father really dead?"

"He's really dead!" Cao Shuqing's voice was steady but cold.

Meng Yu only showed a contemptuous look and said to Zhao Susu: "Mom, this man is so bad! He didn't even cry when his father died! If my father died, I would definitely cry..."

She suddenly said, "I won't cry either. My dad is also a bad guy!"

Cao Shuqing didn't see any flaws on her face, only the child's innocence and the pure words of a child.

Naturally, there was nothing suspicious about Zhao Susu.

He has some doubts about life.

Did he guess wrong?

No, not possible!

At this moment, Meng Yu ran into the inner room and came out quickly. She was holding a broom almost as tall as herself and swung it at Cao Shuqing.

"Go away, bad guy! You are not allowed to bully others!"

Cao Shuqing stepped back repeatedly because he didn't want to be hit by the broom.

He quickly left the tailor shop. Although he was only eight years old, his face had the gloomy look of an adult.

He looked up at the sky. His father was dead, which disrupted his plans.

Are you sad? I don't think so!

After years of immersion in officialdom, his heart had become as cold as ice.

What's more, in his previous life, his father relied on his power to not only marry many concubines, but also forcibly abducted women in the street. Once, the woman he abducted was the daughter of an imperial censor, and he even slept with the girl.

For this, he was reported by the entire Censorate, and the emperor fined him his salary and demoted him. Although he was reinstated in just one year, this incident made him extremely angry.

Not only this time, but later he acted on his own and blatantly accepted bribes, which also caused him to be impeached by the censor.

He gave orders again and again, but his father refused to change his ways and continued to act smart, unaware of his stupidity.

The affection between father and son has long been worn away to the point of almost nothing left.

Now that he is dead, he no longer has to clean up the mess he made in the officialdom, which may not be a bad thing.

It's just that he died a little early when he was still young. His family had no source of income and he would not be able to continue his studies.

He thought of the ginseng again.

Let’s go up the mountain again. As long as we can find it, it can at least support his tuition for two years.

After Cao Shuqing left, the feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake gradually faded away.

Zhao Susu couldn't help but say: "That child's eyes are so scary!"

"The bad guys' eyes are scary!" Meng Yu responded.

What's more, this is a bad guy who has been in officialdom for decades.

"He's actually a poor kid. His father died when he was so young!"

Meng Yu didn't say anything. When she first heard it, she thought Cao Shuqing was lying. After all, there was no sadness or pain on his face.

But she soon figured it out. Cao Shuqing was carrying the memories of his previous life. After so many years in officialdom, he must have stopped showing his emotions on his face, right?

She felt a little uneasy. Did Butcher Cao fall into the water and drown that day?

Did she kill someone?
