Yuna became very silent and introverted at that time, and refused to get close to his father. Baotang used to take him to play a lot, and he also liked to be with his father...... Yun'er always hides in the corner alone, saying that there are a lot of people around her father, all of whom are so fierce, and if he goes over, he will grab him and eat his flesh. Also, it was said that grandma has now been eaten up by those people...... I was frightened at the time, and hurriedly covered Yun'er's mouth and told him not to talk nonsense...... Woo."

Xiuxin covered her mouth and cried.

After a while, Xiuxin's mood calmed down and continued: "I was really frightened at the time, thinking that Yun'er was only four years old, and we had always taught him to be honest, and he had never lied, so he must have been startled by something to talk nonsense. So I took the child to worship God, on the way I met a goddess, I heard people call her a mother-in-law, she looked at our mother and son, and then took out a yellow charm folded into a triangle, said that let the child carry it every day, can block the evil, she also said that she can only help here. ”

"A mother-in-law?" Su Xin repeated. Could it be a mother-in-law who helped Qi Fu's family?

Su Xin thought of the way these children were hiding behind their mothers on the street yesterday, and her eyes were full of horror.

It's a pity that she didn't see anything special about Xing's mother at that time, but later she felt that something was wrong according to her abnormal words and deeds.

Xiuxin: "Well, it's a mother-in-law." His face was full of folds, and his back was all hunched, and he was almost hooked to the ground. We walked out for a while, and Yuna suddenly tugged at the corner of my clothes and said, 'Mother, that mother-in-law has also been eaten into an empty shell, but she is a good mother-in-law...... and when she came back, nothing happened, and Yuna didn't say those strange words again, as if the old ones were like a delusion or a nightmare for me, and everything seemed to be back on track. But I found that Baotang was becoming more and more like my father before, often locking himself in the house and forgetting to sleep and eat. At first, I just thought he was in a hurry... Because the business in the store was surprisingly good during that time, basically there were two or three orders a day, you know, the fastest handiwork of a piece of clothing took a day or two to complete. ”

"My needlework is pretty good, I thought Baotang would cut it well, and I helped sew it, but he wouldn't let me do it, let alone touch it. Once, I saw that he was so tired that I couldn't bear it, so I stole it, but when I saw him, he occasionally took out ready-to-wear clothes, and the customers liked it very much, and they were very satisfied, so I didn't think much about it at the time. ”

Su Xin hummed softly, indeed, these things are too weird, if there is no accident, no one will believe it. And even if you believe it, I'm afraid it's more helpless.

Xiuxin's tears flowed silently on his face, "About ten days ago, because Baotang locked more and more things in the room, so I helped to receive guests in front. Before, he stipulated that I could only send in the size and style of the guests at half an hour at noon, and he said that he needed to be quiet when cutting and sewing clothes, and I... I also think that he has to carry all the burdens by himself now, and it is very hard and tiring to raise a large family, so try not to bother him... But that day, an old customer, Aunt Yuan, came and said that she didn't want the previous style, but wanted to revise it again and replace it with something else. Because it's been two days, I thought that Baotang might have already started to do it, and I thought that I wouldn't cut out the scrapped material, so I went in on my own initiative..."

Xiuxin's body trembled even more, even after so many days, when he recalled it at this time, it still seemed like it had happened in front of him.

At some point, Su Xin had already walked up to her, put her arm around her and easily helped her to sit down on a chair next to her, and brought a cup of hot tea to the other party's hand.

Xiuxin felt the warmth coming from his hand, looked at Su Xin's calm and calm gaze, and slowly calmed down.

She took two sips of tea and said, "...... I saw him and he was actually using... Sewing clothes with colored paper... And I saw that all the fabrics in that room had turned into pieces of paper..."

"My frightened legs went limp, and I came out on my stomach. At that moment, all kinds of things that had happened before came to mind... When I came outside, I was about to tell Aunt Yuan to let her come back another day, when Baotang came out with a piece of clothing... And that garment, which I saw before, was made of colored paper, but now it has become a real garment, just the muslin we usually wear... And when Aunt Yuan got the clothes, I obviously saw that she originally had some disgust in her eyes, but in an instant, she became very happy and very satisfied, saying that the clothes were so good-looking, exactly what she wanted. He paid the rest of the money and left happily. ”

"I grabbed the treasure hall that was about to go back, and I asked him what was going on? How can those things that are obviously paper become real clothes? ”

Baotang looked at me with a very strange look, strange, then a kind of suddenness, then guilt and urgency, and said, "Quick, burn this place, burn it all..." Why is this happening? Then he suddenly changed to that strange look again, and said to me coldly, let me not go in and disturb him, or make me a new dress, and slam the door shut. ”

"I was really scared at the time, I went to my mother to discuss, and my mother looked at me with a smile, but there were tears in her eyes, and she said things like "Yun'er will ask me for a few in the future", and then she became as weird as Baotang. Me, I...... I really don't know what to do..."

"That night I had a dream that I seemed to see Baotang standing next to my bed and saying the same thing to me as my mother. I asked him what had happened, and he told me about the Xing family's fortune. ”

"The Xing family's fortune?" Su Xin's heart moved, could it be that this still involves grievances from decades ago? No wonder Xiuxin said at the beginning that this was "retribution".

"When Baotang told me about those things, I obviously felt that everything was so hazy, but I remembered what he told me very clearly and deeply."

“…… It turned out that more than 70 years ago, that is, Baotang's grandfather, at that time the grandfather was still an apprentice in a tailor's shop, you know, as an apprentice for at least three years, these three years not only have to prepare gifts for the master on the New Year's birthday, serve the master, unpaid labor, three years later, the master must also do another three years with the master before officially opening an independent shop, and to get the master's blessing, called 'gift', if the master is not good, it is destined to not last long. ”
