Chapter 115: Promise [Please vote]
"She was pretending to be crazy," Shitou said. "She was running towards the entrance of the village while looking back. I followed far away and was not noticed by her. Judging from the direction she was walking, she should be heading into the city."
"Into the city." Shang Wan repeated these two words playfully, guessing, "Is her adulterer in the city?"
"It shouldn't be possible that she is from the city." Xiaohuan said, "I just quietly asked Aunt Yao. There are quite a few marks on her body. About yesterday..."
She paused in her words, but everyone understood her unfinished meaning.
They had an affair just yesterday, but Gui did not leave the village yesterday, and no outsiders entered the village. The adulterer could only be a villager.
Shang Wan clicked his tongue, "You're a man without a seed." Gui was also blind if she dared to do it or not.
Whether the Gui family has committed adultery or not has nothing to do with her family. She has a lot of things to do at home and has no time to care about idle people.
However, they don't care. There are many people in the village who care.
Behind closed doors of each house, the daughters-in-law interrogated their men behind their parents-in-law's backs to see if they were the adulterers.
It was a lively afternoon. From time to time, there were sounds of pots being smashed and bowls being smashed and couples scolding each other. People who were eating melons couldn't run away.
The old woman and the girl in pink entered the village at this time, wondering why there were so many quarrels in the village.
The two of them walked all the way and inquired, and finally found the Lin family.
Knocking on the door of Lin's house, it was Chen Guifang who opened the door. When she saw the old woman's face clearly, she was really stunned.
Why did this old witch come to my house for nothing?
Seeing Chen Guifang blocking the door, neither calling for anyone nor letting them in, the old woman's face darkened.
"You can't even call people, you're mute? Where's Xiaolan? I came all the way here, and she didn't even come out to greet me."
Chen Guifang slandered her and didn't let you come, but she couldn't say that on her face. She called someone with a smile and welcomed them inside.
Village Chief Lin was smoking cigarettes in the courtyard, and his face fell when he saw the old woman.
The old woman changed her donkey face just now, grabbed the girl in pink's hand and greeted her warmly, "Yuzhi, this is your uncle, call someone quickly."
Liu Yuzhi whispered: "Hello, uncle."
Facing the junior, Village Chief Lin's face softened slightly and he nodded, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown so big."
"No, Xiao Lan asked someone to come here with a message, saying that he wants to marry Yu Zhi. I heard that the man is also a scholar."
The old woman Wei smiled so hard that the wrinkles appeared on her face, "I can't wait until you come to pick her up. I was worried that I would miss Yuzhi's good news, so I brought the child here. It will also be convenient for meeting my future grandson-in-law." Look at each other.”
Village Chief Lin's expression, which he reluctantly relaxed, was instantly even uglier than before. How could he not know that there was such a thing?
"Mother, Yuzhi." After hearing the news, Mrs. Liu came out of the house in surprise, followed by Mrs. Zhou.
"Aunt." Yuzhi was obviously familiar with Mrs. Liu and took the initiative to call her.
Wei's face dropped, and she hummed, "We waited around at home and no one came to pick us up, so we had to show our shame at the door."
"Mom, what you said is unreasonable." Mrs. Liu explained, "Something happened at home. I didn't think about it for a moment."
Wei asked with a raised eyebrow, "What could be more important than picking up your mother?"
Mrs. Liu's face turned sad, "Mom, my second child was injured and he hasn't woken up yet."
Mrs. Wei was shocked and didn't bother to teach her daughter a lesson. She asked Mrs. Liu to take her to see it.
The mother and daughter were holding hands and were about to leave. Village Chief Lin left them behind with a sullen face and asked Mrs. Zhou to take them to see.
Mrs. Wei was a little afraid of this son-in-law, so she didn't dare to say anything immediately, and pulled Liu Yuzhi into the house with Ms. Zhou.
In the courtyard, Village Chief Lin stared at Mrs. Liu, "How come I didn't know you were going to marry Yuzhi? You are still a scholar, the only scholar in our village! Mrs. Liu, what are your plans?"
"Master, didn't I have time to discuss this with you?" Mrs. Liu said, "I thought, since our family can't fight against the man named Lu, why not make him one of our own, so that if anything good happens in the future, he will look after him. "Is our family here?" "Do you think that person named Shang is a vegetarian?" Village Chief Lin wanted to point his finger at Mr. Liu.
Liu Shi didn't care, "Yuzhi has a good appearance and a gentle and considerate personality. What man doesn't like it? If a man wants to divorce his wife, can Shang stop him?"
Village Chief Lin was furious, "No matter how good Yuzhi is, how good is Shang? If you don't have a brain, won't you be blind too?"
"That demon surnamed Shang has an evil spirit. He doesn't live well at first glance. How can he compare with Yuzhi?" In Liu's eyes, Liu Yuzhi is a hundred times a thousand times better than Shang Wan.
Village Chief Lin was so angry that his heart ached and he didn't want to speak.
Mrs. Liu said: "Master, please believe me. As long as I let Yuzhi dangle in front of Lu Xiucai's eyes, I'm sure his eyes will be glued to Yuzhi. As long as the two of them accomplish good things, drive away the man named Shang." , Our family will still walk sideways in the village from now on."
Village Chief Lin's anger froze. Inspired by Liu's words, he suddenly thought of an idea.
His tone softened slightly, "Pack out the house and let mother and Yuzhi live in it. We'll talk about other things later."
Ms. Liu quickly agreed and happily prepared the room.
Chen Guifang looked at her coldly, thinking that her father-in-law, who had always been at odds with her father-in-law's family, actually left her behind. She didn't know what his intentions were.
The words are divided into two parts.
Xiaohuan went to Zhang's house to borrow a kitchen knife and happened to meet Mrs. Rong.
Lady Rong was carrying a small bamboo basket with three packages of herbal medicine inside, and was about to go to the Lu family to deliver the medicine.
"Good sister, I'll just go home and save you a trip."
"Why are you being polite to me?" Madam Rong took Xiaohuan's arm and raised her hand to pat her gently, "Not only to deliver medicine, I also want to talk to my younger siblings."
Hearing this, Xiaohuan stopped insisting and the two returned home hand in hand.
"Sister." Xiaohuan walked into the shed, "Ms. Rong is here."
Shang Wan was eating some cabbage. Hearing this, he put down the cabbage and walked out.
"Brother and sister." Madam Rong called her affectionately and handed over the medicinal materials in the bamboo basket, "Your brother Yuan has newly prepared the medicine. Let Brother Lu drink this at night. The effect is good."
Shang Wan thanked her and took it over, and sat down with Lady Rong to chat about home affairs.
"It's getting late, so my sister-in-law will go back first." After sitting for a long time, Mrs. Rong stood up and said goodbye.
Watching Lady Rong leave, Xiaohuan leaned over and asked doubtfully: "Sister, Lady Rong came here specially just to chat with you about home affairs?"
"Of course not." Shang Wan shook his head and asked, "Do you know that knife wounds are different from wounds caused by wild beasts?"
Xiaohuan nodded halfway and suddenly understood.
Yuan Musheng is a doctor. Since he wants to suture Gao Qi's wounds, he can naturally see the reason.
Shang Wan said: "Sister-in-law came here specifically to reassure us. Even if Brother Yuan sees something, he won't say anything."
Xiaohuan opened her mouth, "Sister, did you already know that Dr. Yuan would not tell anyone about the abnormality of the wound?"
"Probably." Shang Wan smiled, "Now the matter is truly over."
"Then what if they tell you later?"
People's hearts are fickle. Although Xiaohuan doesn't want to think too badly of others, it is necessary to guard against others.
