Chapter 8 The son-in-law sent by God
Shen Yi was pulled away by Zeng Kuan before he could say his words of refusal.
Su Tai took in everything and turned around to leave in a good mood.
In the evening, before Shen Yi came back, Su Chunlin entered the village. When he learned that there was water in the well, he didn't even bother to go home and rushed to the well immediately.
When Mrs. Han saw him, she was full of surprises, "Master, come and see, there is water!"
Su Chunlin gave the baggage to Mr. Han, poked his head at the mouth of the well, and asked, "Is this water enough to water the ground?"
The person next to me answered, "It will be good if our village can draw water, but don't even think about watering the fields."
One person shook his head in disapproval, "If water comes out of other wells, wouldn't it be possible to water the ground?"
Su Chunlin nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, if there is water in one place, there must be a second place where water can come out!"
Han smiled and took Su Chunlin home. On the way, he asked about the situation in the county, "How is it? Did you borrow the money?"
"I've made a trip and come back empty-handed!" Su Chunlin snorted softly and looked at the baggage, "Brother gave me a tael of silver and some food for emergencies. With my sister-in-law here, it's better for me not to go too far. In addition, I was uneasy on the road, so I didn’t dare to ask for more, just a few. You don’t know, I bumped into several people who were robbed along the way. Fortunately, I was dressed in rags and looked disgraced, otherwise It’s really impossible to escape.”
Originally, he wanted to commit suicide, but he accidentally avoided some disaster.
Only then did Han realize that Su Chunlin was in a state of poverty and was little better than a beggar, so she immediately pulled him home quickly.
In the past two days, Mr. Han didn't pay attention to the situation at home, nor did he take note of the water at home. When he opened the water tank, he found that the tank of water he grabbed before was still there. The river mud had completely sunk to the bottom, and the water above was very clear. , thinking that the village had dug out water, Han gritted his teeth and carried a bucket for Su Chunlin to take a shower in the ground, and also water the ground, so there was no waste at all.
Su Chunlin took a comfortable bath and cleaned the water tank at the same time. He scooped out the clean water above and dumped all the river mud below into the ground. It was only possible to save some crops.
After he finished his work, Shen Yi came back.
Seeing Shen Yi, Su Chunlin was very surprised, "Why are you here?"
Shen Yi explained: "The water level of Daxun River has dropped significantly recently. I walked along the river to this side."
Mr. Han hurriedly told Shen Yi about helping to dig the well.
With a grateful look on his face, Su Chunlin asked Han to cook a pot of gnocchi soup, and pulled Shen Yi to sit down, "I haven't been at home for the past two days, and I didn't know you were coming. You will still sleep in that room tonight, and I will make do with the next door. "
He arranged everything in one go, without giving Shen Yi a chance to refuse.
Shen Yi could only accept it.
During the meal, Su Chunlin asked about the situation in Zhongmen Village.
Shen Yi sighed, "Zhongmen Village still hasn't found a suitable well digging site. The village chief wants to hold on for two more days to see. Originally, I planned to go back early tomorrow morning, but Uncle Chang Xi won't let me go. I guess I have to Stay here for two days.”
"It's okay. I'll stay with my uncle in Dongmen Village. You're welcome." Su Chunlin said enthusiastically.
Han was hesitant to speak at the side. After dinner, the couple returned to the house, and Han immediately told the story about Shen Yi's annulment. Su Chunlin was so angry that he rushed to Tianling Gai. Before Han could finish his words, he rushed out and asked, "Shen Yi, your aunt said that you were annulled by the Mo family?"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Su Tai's house, slowly lowering his eyes, "Uncle Mo came over personally to apologize. The two families were not officially engaged in the first place, so it's no big deal."
"It's not a big deal!" Su Chunlin was so angry that he jumped up and down, "It's not like you don't know what this marriage is about. Mo Laotian betrothed his daughter to you just to fulfill his promise, and now he just wants to break it off? Your dad? Isn’t it a waste of time?”
Shen Yi said with a sullen face: "Uncle, it's Miss Mo who doesn't want to marry. Uncle Mo broke off the engagement because he had no other choice."
"You're still speaking for him!" Su Chunlin was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick. "You just believe what he says! Take a step back and say, what if it's true that the girl from the Mo family doesn't want to marry? Who is not a parent when it comes to marriage? According to the matchmaker, she is a girl who refuses to marry if she doesn’t want to. How can Mo Laotian be so talkative? It’s obvious that he is bullying you for not having a father and a mother!
No, this matter cannot be let go so easily. I have to. Go to Mo’s house to seek justice for you.”
Shen Yi grabbed the impulsive Su Chunlin and said, "Uncle, I know you mean well, but you can't be sweet if you force yourself to do it. I heard that Miss Mo ran away from home overnight and fell down a ravine to not marry me, and she almost died. Uncle Mo reckons He was also frightened, he couldn’t force his daughter to death just for a marriage.”
"Who did you listen to?" Su Chunlin stopped.
Shen Yi said: "Uncle Mo told me. Yesterday when I went to Zhongmen Village to help, I heard some rumors. Everyone also said..."
"What did you say?" Su Chunlin was a little anxious.
Shen Yi pursed his lips and let go of his hand expressionlessly, "They also said that Miss Mo was rescued by Xiong Kai from the same village. Xiong Kai carried Miss Mo home. The villagers of Ximen Village saw it with their own eyes. What did Uncle Mo mean? It’s because Miss Mo didn’t want to marry me, and because of her reputation, it wouldn’t be good for me to force a marriage, but he gave me a bag of grain as compensation.”
When Mrs. Han heard this, she frowned, "How could it be that bastard Xiong Kai! You and Xiao Tai are really unlucky!"
Su Chunlin touched his chin and fell into deep thought, but he stopped shouting that he wanted to settle the score with Mo Laotian.
When Shen Yi returned to the house to rest, Han asked in a low voice, "Are you not going to take care of it? Shen Yi's father is also your savior after all."
Su Chunlin pulled Han away a little further and then said: "Who said I don't care! Look, our daughter was annulled by Xiong Kai, and there are still messy rumors outside. It will be hard to talk to others in the future. I was originally worried that my daughter would not be able to get married. , Hey! Look, God gave us a ready-made son-in-law right away!"
"You mean Shen Yi and Xiao Tai?" Han covered her mouth in surprise.
Su Chunlin nodded excitedly, "Shen Yi is the one I've seen since childhood. He's much better than Xiong Kai. Before, I regretted that Mo Laotian got a big deal, but things turned around. Hehehe."
There is a distance between Shenjiazhuang and Dongmen Village, and it takes a day to go back and forth.
In the past, Su Chunlin would visit Shen Yi once a year and give him something. He had indeed watched Shen Yi grow up.
After Su Chunlin's reminder, Mr. Han instantly beamed with joy, "You are the smart one, the boss, why didn't I think of that! And I think Shen Yi is very good to our little moss. They both went out together this morning."
"Really?" Su Chunlin's eyes brightened.
Han nodded desperately, "But you have to ask about the Mo family's affairs. If it's really like what Shen Yi said, you have to go there. Let's talk things out. The Xiong family also needs to show some respect. You can't Let Shen Yi suffer."
The accounts from that year have not yet been settled, and the Mo family cannot repay the life-saving grace with a bag of grain.
