Chapter 184: You are short-sighted

During the period of recuperation, Shunzi walked in and out of the village, not forgetting to report to Yu Tingwan from time to time what was going on outside.

Half a month later, Wei Zhao, who lived in the pharmacy, was finally able to go to the field. He still looked weak, but compared to before, he seemed completely transformed, and he felt much more energetic.

After Yu Tingwan’s baggage of snacks brought from home was empty.

She stood at the door. The wind on her face was no longer biting and cold, but it still rustled the bamboo forest in the east.

She didn't look back, and her words were obviously addressed to the man who was writing in the room.

"The Hu family went to the Chu family today to propose marriage, and Master Chu was taken away by the Yamen for interrogation."

As for why he was arrested now, Jiucheng has nothing to do with Wei Zhao.

Yu Tingwan was very happy.

The Hu family was so proud before proposing marriage, but now that their wishes have been disappointed, they are overjoyed and sad, and they are also hit hard.

The girl's lips curved, but there was a strange tone in her mouth: "I feel sorry for them."

"Before this ceremony was completed, the patron was in jail."

Even if his wife was not involved, Female, but Mrs. Chu, let alone being a wife again, I'm afraid she won't be able to get out for the rest of her life.

The girl leaned against the door, her expression getting darker and darker: "I don't know if Hu Yaozu, who has high ambitions and low abilities, still recognizes my father-in-law, who has a criminal record."

"Being married to the Chu family will not only not help. , I still have to go in, this marriage will probably fail.”

"But what if it blows up?"

"The Hu family will have to bear the reputation of being ruthless and unjust."

One step forward is a cliff, one step back is an abyss, no matter how you choose, it is difficult.

Wei Zhao said warmly: "If you want to go down the mountain, the carriage is ready and waiting outside."

————

Xilin Village.

Many people were sitting around in front of the village, talking all over the place.

"The ostentation of the Hu family is really scary. They have prepared so many betrothal gifts. I am really willing to give up."

"You don't even look at who you are marrying."

"Little Xu is so small-minded that she doesn't even make a fuss. She shows off her silver earrings to everyone she meets and says her brother-in-law is capable."

"Don't talk about her, Mrs. Wang was so arrogant when she passed by us early in the morning, she really stood out."

"Who wants my son to be capable? It doesn't matter if he is good at school, this marriage can actually be successful." It’s so good! Look from all over the country, who else can marry a girl from the town?”

“You are wrong, this is not an ordinary girl from the town.”

Some people are envious. Incessantly.

“Except for the mother who can’t carry her, Yaozu, my father and eldest brother have nothing to say.”

"No. Dazhu is a salesman who has been walking around the streets all year round, and his vision is always higher than ours. After the famine, every household did not have much rice left. It was good for him. He insisted on selling iron to let Yaozu study. At that time, there were no people in the village. Optimistic, Call him stupid. Dalang is also a good farmer. He has provided Yaozu with all his heart over the years, but without any complaints, Yaozu would not be able to go far, no matter how powerful he is."

Mrs. Fan sitting in the corner couldn't listen to this!

As the Hu family's life gets better, she becomes uncomfortable.

When she learned that Hu Yaozu was going to get a wife, she couldn't sleep the past few nights.

She sneered suddenly and sneered: "After all, the person Yaozu deserves to thank the most is Yuniang."

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

The thin woman next to her pulled her nervously: "Are you crazy?"

"What the hell is my mother-in-law doing? She has been dead for so many years. "Why can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Mr. Fan shook her hand away: "You are afraid of offending the Hu family, but I am not."

"Why can't you mention it?"

"Yu Niang, we old bones have watched her grow up. A good girl was ruined like that!"

She stood up and pointed forward.

“She was kneeling there at that time. She was already seriously ill and had no strength to walk due to hunger during the famine years, but she still jumped out of the bullock cart.”

“Bitter. After praying to no avail, my eyes turned red in the end. , heartbroken, she knelt down to the cold-hearted elder of the Hu family and said that she would be considered a filial piety."

"You are such a gentle person. But he was forced to do that.”

Everyone was silent.

They all saw what happened back then.

But if you have too much time to take care of yourself, your parents can be cruel, so how can they control Yu Niang’s life and death?

Mother Fan looked back and forth at these people with her cloudy eyes.

"Then Hu Yaozu is a scholar who passed the exam and the smoke comes out of the Hu family's ancestral tomb. Can he pave the way for the village? Or donate money to the village? After all the good words, he rushed to show his courtesy. The Hu family still has Can I give you some broth to try?”

"Are you dreaming in a hurry?" Everyone frowned.

"The discord between you and the Wang family is your fault."

"The Hu family did... before, but the blame is on the famine and the inability to survive. , Yu Niang looks so good, the second elder of the Hu family has passed away long ago, why Do you have to mention it again? You have to understand which one is more important. If there is a scholar, the village will open a large ancestral hall to worship the ancestors!"

Mrs. Fan sneered and was about to pass, but she saw the bumps on the mountain road. Next, a carriage swayed towards this direction.

Mrs. Fan:? ? ?

Ox carts are rare items in the village.

This is a carriage!

The other women all looked at each other.

“Who is it? Come to find someone who is right?”

"Pull him down. I haven't seen any relatives with such arrogance in these years."

Some people speculated.

“Don’t be the in-laws of the Hu family.”

It’s approaching dusk and it’s getting late.

“The in-laws were afraid that they would be tired from walking, so they sent a carriage to see them back.”

As soon as this was said, everyone nodded in agreement.

Mr. Fan is very annoyed.

Because she also felt that the people sitting inside were the Hu family.

As the carriage approached, someone smiled and shouted loudly.

"Yaozu, my aunt made some white flour steamed buns at home. I thought of your hard work in studying, so I left a few for you."

Yu Tingwan was in the car.

Glory to your mother’s ancestors.

She opened the curtain, looked over, and raised her eyebrows.

"Who did I think was so rich? It turned out to be Mrs. Zhu."

Shunzi drove the horse and slowed down without stopping.

The pretty girl was lying in front of the window.

"I often heard Mr. Wang mention you before."

Everyone:! ! !

Some people can’t believe it.

Is it the late wife? ?

How could it be her.

Sister-in-law Zhu: "What...what did your aunt say about me?"

Yu Tingwan smiled: "It's nothing."

"Just say you are short-sighted. Send good things to Hu’s house. Your mother-in-law will probably be pissed off by you.”

Sister-in-law Zhu:? ? ?

She didn't believe it.

Obviously Wang always praised her for her generosity.

Just about to question.

But the carriage has already driven away.

It is the direction of the Hu family.

When the carriage slowly stopped, Yu Tingwan stepped on the footstool and landed.

The girl raised her eyes and saw an all-too-familiar scene all around her.

"Wan Niang?"

Aunt Wu next door heard the noise and chased her out. She smiled in surprise when she saw her.

She had a lot to say, and she said to Yu Tingwan Nunu: "You don't know! The whole family just set off firecrackers when they went out today! They didn't go to town and they haven't come back yet."

Yu Tingwan went to see Hu's door.

It is indeed tightly closed.

Aunt Wu: "Why are you back?"

Yu Tingwan: "Shunzi."

Before Aunt Wu had time to react, she saw the thin Shunzi Stepping forward, his movements didn't look too fierce.

There was just a 'bang' sound, and the wooden door of Hu's house was kicked away.
