The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 328 I heard it wrong
When I arrived at the gate of the academy, I saw Zhuang Yuanzhong standing there.
The sun was quite strong, and Zhuang Yuanzhong looked a little wilted. It seemed that he had walked here, and there was a lot of dust on his shoes.
But fortunately, she was dressed neatly, and her clothes looked like they were newly made, although the material was average...
"Brother." Zhuang Yuanzhong saw Zhuang Yuanren and walked over quickly.
"Why are you here?" Zhuang Yuanren pulled Zhuang Yuanzhong behind a tree and looked around. "Didn't your parents come with you?"
"No." Zhuang Yuanzhong shook his head. "I came here alone. I have something to talk to my brother about."
"What's the matter?" Zhuang Yuanren was immediately relieved that Zhuang Ruman and Song did not come, but when he heard Zhuang Yuanzhong say that he had something to do, he frowned again.
Could it be that his family asked Zhuang Yuanzhong to ask him for money?
"My sister is going to get married in two days. You know she is going to marry into the Kong family."
"Yes." Zhuang Yuanren nodded, "Isn't it just the 26th of this month? I have already asked for leave from you, sir, don't worry."
Although Zhuang Yuanren had never witnessed the wedding of the only son of the Kong family, he knew that the Kong family attached great importance to this only son. So when Zhuang Yuanren learned the date, he asked for leave from his teacher early and prepared to arrange the marriage that day as the elder brother-in-law and sworn brother.
"Brother, do you know that the young master of the Kong family died a long time ago, and if my sister marries him, she will be marrying a dead man?" Zhuang Yuanzhong said anxiously.
The only child of the Kong family had died long ago? Zhuang Yuanren was stunned for a moment, "I really didn't know about this..."
But then, there was another joy.
The Kong family's only son was long gone, but now the Kong family's master and mistress treat him so well, does that mean...
Zhuang Yuanren didn’t dare to think about what would happen next.
But seeing Zhuang Yuanzhong's worried face, he suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "This matter is not something you and I can worry about. Marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. No matter what, this can only be said to be Qinghe's fate."
"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. After Qinghe gets married, she will be a widow and must be filial to her parents-in-law. She must not complain at all..."
"But brother, the Kong family didn't let sister marry into their family to let her be a widow and serve them, but to bury her together with the young master of the Kong family. They are going to bury sister alive!" Zhuang Yuanzhong shouted.
After saying this, he began to breathe heavily, his eyes filled with tears.
Ever since he heard this at the wall that night, he has been completely devastated.
He loves money, he wants money, and he doesn't mind cheating others on a normal day, even if it's cheating Zhuang Qinghe or the Song family, it's okay with him.
But this is a life. To exchange his life for silver, he shudders at the thought.
He really wanted to find someone to talk to about this matter, but Zhuang Ruman was very much in favor of this matter and would definitely not listen to him. The Song family was someone who could not be relied upon, so it would be useless to talk about it.
Not to mention other people. Firstly, since it is not their own business, no one would care. Secondly, he usually steals peaches and apricots in the village. It would be good if other people don't say a word to him. They will definitely not try to help him.
After much thought, Zhuang Yuanzhong was at a loss as to what to do, so he had to find a day to run away and look for Zhuang Yuanren.
Zhuang Ruman must listen to Zhuang Yuanren's words.
After hearing this, Zhuang Yuanren stood there in a daze, his face turning pale.
No wonder, no wonder.
No wonder someone like Zhuang Qinghe was favored by the wealthy Kong family, no wonder the Kong family was so generous, and no wonder the only son of the Kong family had never shown up. It turned out that he had died a long time ago, and now they looked for Zhuang Qinghe to marry them for their silver wedding anniversary.
I think all this is due to the fact that Zhuang Qinghe had a good birth date.
But this was enough to kill Zhuang Qinghe.
"Brother, please go back and persuade dad." Zhuang Yuanzhong saw that Zhuang Yuanren had been absent-minded for a long time and reminded him.
Zhuang Yuanren, who was in a daze, suddenly came to his senses, looked at Zhuang Yuanzhong, and moved his lips several times, but couldn't utter a word.
After a long while, he said, "You can't say this casually. Silver weddings are strictly prohibited by the court. If the government knows about it, you will be punished with a stick."
"You must have heard it wrongly. There is no such thing as a silver wedding. How could my parents be willing to let Qinghe lose her life? Especially my mother, who loves Qinghe the most. She would never do such a thing."
"Besides, although the young master of the Kong family is not in good health, he is not dead. I just went to the Kong family yesterday and met the young master of the Kong family. We talked for a long time. I saw that he looked thinner and coughed easily, but he was no different from an ordinary person. He also said something like he would treat Qinghe well in the future. As the eldest brother-in-law, I felt very relieved when I heard it."
"How can a living person, who is getting married for no reason, say that they want to have a silver wedding? Don't say these words again. If you say them again, others will think that you want to curse the young master of the Kong family to death, and say that you are vicious at such a young age."
"Anyway, this must be a misunderstanding. You're thinking too much in your little head. Go back quickly. If you run away alone, your parents will be worried."
Zhuang Yuanzhong became more hesitant after hearing this.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhuang Yuanren said he heard it wrong, was he really wrong? But he heard it clearly at the foot of the wall that day, and it was definitely not wrong...
But Zhuang Yuanren said that he had met the young master of the Kong family, and that he was a fine person.
Zhuang Yuanzhong himself was a little confused and just looked at Zhuang Yuanren with a blank face.
"Don't you believe what my elder brother said?" Zhuang Yuanren took off his purse, took out two silver coins from it, and stuffed them into Zhuang Yuanzhong's hand. "Hurry up and take the silver and find a carriage to go home. If you are hungry, find a place to eat. I have to go to class soon, so I can't talk to you any more."
"Be obedient and go back quickly."
Zhuang Yuanren pushed Zhuang Yuanzhong and hurried into the academy.
Zhuang Yuanzhong looked at the silver in his hand in a daze.
Really, did I hear it wrong?
Scratching his ears, Zhuang Yuanzhong walked away, looking distraught.
Zhuang Yuanren secretly looked out from the gate and saw Zhuang Yuanzhong gradually walking away, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Silver wedding anniversary.
This kind of thing is despicable.
What's more, if they were to bring a living person, they would be despised by others.
But for their family, this is tantamount to pushing their daughter into a fire pit.
But, how should we talk about this matter?
This girl has to get married eventually. If she marries into a poor family, her life will be hard and she won't be able to help the family. It's better for her to enjoy the happiness for a few days.
The silver wedding here, ahem, you all know, because it will be blocked, so it is replaced by another word~ (End of this chapter)
