With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 163 She is honest and... a bit pretty.
The street is noisy and bustling, and there are many people buying vegetables at this moment.
Yu Tingwan pushed Wei Zhao to the entrance of the alley just now, and ran into the dusty Wei couple.
"Dad, Mom."
Hui Niang saw that they were both fine, and her heart was at ease, and a smile just appeared in her eyes.
Yu Tingwan left Wei Zhao behind, ran towards her, and took her arm affectionately: "You are finally back."
This time, she was away for a long time.
Wei Zhao:...
Hui Niang touched the girl's hand.
She thought that she must be tired from running the family alone.
But the girl's hands were visibly tender after applying ointments for these days.
Hui Niang also thought that Yu Tingwan must have worked hard and must have lost weight.
But the girl looked very good, and her face was full of flesh.
Hui Niang looked into her eyes, full of love: "Alang made you worry."
Yu Tingwan nodded.
"He is indeed a worry."
Wei Zhao:...
sneer.
The family walked in, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very affectionate, and Wei Shouzhong pushed Wei Zhao.
Wei Shouzhong: "Alang looks good."
"This time when I returned to the village, Uncle Wei asked about you, which shows that he is also worried about you."
Wei Zhao: "Yeah."
Yu Tingwan felt that she seemed to have overlooked something, and finally remembered it after walking for a distance.
"Where is the cow at home?"
Hui Niang sighed: "On the way to the countryside, it slipped and fell to the ground."
Dead cows are sold for meat.
But Hui Niang was reluctant to let it go.
After all, it has been with them for some time.
She and Wei Shouzhong found an open space and buried the cow.
Yu Tingwan still cared.
But she cared more about.
"Then, mother, are you and father okay?"
Don't fall together.
Hui Niang: "It's OK, just a little scratch."
"Fortunately, I met a noble man at that time. When he learned that we were going to Zhaojia Village, he gave us a ride."
"On the way, I asked him and found out that he was also from our alley. He felt that we had a connection, so he was particularly enthusiastic. He was the one who helped with your uncle's family."
"By the way, your father and I came back with him. We only separated when we entered the county. Seeing that he was in a hurry, I'm afraid he has delayed his business these days."
"We have to go visit him later."
Yu Tingwan: ...
I know who it is.
"Oh."
"Wan Niang, are your parents-in-law back?"
Zhao Niang carried her daughter out and was happy to see the family of four.
"No wonder your mother-in-law loves you. You don't look like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at all. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are mother and daughter." Then look at Wei Shen and Wei Shouzhong, father and son. They don't talk much. It's as if they are not very familiar. It's more appropriate to say that... Wei Shen accompanied his young wife to welcome his father-
in-law and mother-in-law. Yu Tingwan smiled and said, "Where are you going?" "I'm going to the academy to deliver food to your uncle." "When he's busy, he doesn't care about anything." Madam Zhao left in a hurry. Hui Niang looked at her back and couldn't help but think of her nephew. She wondered if she could trouble Master Zhao to ask him to help see if Ayu could enter the academy in the county. But... the qualifications of the students in the county are too high. Ayu might not be able to keep up. After returning home, Yu Tingwan poured hot water for the two elders to warm up.
"What happened to your uncle?"
Wei Shouzhong and Hui Niang looked at each other.
Yu Tingwan: "Is your cousin okay?"
Wei Shouzhong: "You haven't seen Ah Yu, have you?"
"When you and Ah Lang got married, he didn't come to our wedding."
Zhao Yu has been to Xilin Village over the years.
But he didn't stay at home as much as the dean, and he rarely came to Xilin Village.
Yu Tingwan was busy at the Hu family, so naturally she didn't run into him.
Yu Tingwan: "I haven't seen him."
Wei Shouzhong: "Your cousin, he's an honest man, and..."
He couldn't say it.
Hui Niang: "Let me tell you."
She looked embarrassed: "Ah Yu is a pretty kid."
Yu Tingwan: ???
What the hell? ?
Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows listlessly, and became interested.
Hui Niang sighed: "Although he failed in his studies, he was still admired by many girls. Now, something bad has happened." "
The youngest daughter of the head of Sandun Village fell in love with Ayu. Some years ago, someone came to help with matchmaking."
"Your aunt didn't agree."
After all, not all headmen are good.
The head of Sandun Village is not very reasonable.
His daughter is also spoiled and has a bad temper. She cried and made a fuss to marry Zhao Yu.
Would Yu agree?
She didn't dare to climb such a high branch.
The head of Sandun Village was very angry and scolded Yu loudly for being ungrateful.
Yu didn't talk back, but apologized in a nice voice.
- Yes, yes, the main reason is that Ayu has no ability so far, and his family is not well off, so it's really not good to delay your daughter.
It's not that she can't scold him.
After all, she came from Sandun Village, and she couldn't let her family get bullied.
Hui Niang: "They have been living in peace for these years. The girl later got married. Who would have thought that she would be plotted against."
"Ayu's grandmother, your aunt's mother, sprained her ankle a while ago. The child just came back from college. She was worried after hearing the news, so she went to Sandun Village to see her."
"It happened that she was traveling with the girl's eldest brother on the road. Maybe it was too hard, Ayu fainted halfway. Someone rescued her."
"By the time your aunt's family heard the letter, it had been an hour. Ayu was still at their house and didn't wake up."
Yu Tingwan's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
"An hour?"
"Didn't they inform them?"
"Since they saw that the cousin was fainted, they should have sent him to your aunt's house."
Yu Tingwan didn't believe that there was no conspiracy.
Hui Niang got angry when she talked about this.
"I thought they were kind."
"It was indeed strange at the time, but Ah Yu was fine and nothing happened, so I didn't think much about it."
"Who could have known that they would come to your uncle and aunt a month later. They even said that Ah Yu got their youngest daughter pregnant. Don't even think about denying it."
"They also said that if Ah Yu didn't marry, they would go to the college and block him every day. They would make him lose face, become a laughing stock, and never have a chance to pursue a career in politics." It was possible
to do what they said about those people.
How could Yu be threatened?
Her son read the books of sages and valued etiquette. He had never quarreled with anyone.
After thinking it over again and again, Yu could only grit her teeth and passively apply for withdrawal from school. She was in a stalemate with them. Hui
Niang added,
"A Lang hadn't returned to Xilin Village at that time."
It was said very tactfully.
It was clear that Wei Zhao had not yet rolled down the mountain in Xilin Village and was picked up by Hui Niang.
Hui Niang: "Your aunt found out that the girl was not very decent outside and her marriage was aborted."
"Now that she is pregnant, she wants to blame it on Ayu. How can she recognize it?"
The fainting at that time was related to them.
"But Ayu stayed in their house for so long, and the villagers saw it. They said that your cousin was lying on the youngest daughter's couch that day, and it was also their youngest daughter who took care of him. They also said that we ruined their girl and couldn't explain it even if we had a mouth."
"He is the head of the village, and he is so arrogant. He just wants your cousin to suffer this loss. Seeing that your uncle and aunt were not willing to listen, they had been deadlocked for a long time and completely lost their patience. They directly brought a group of people to Zhaojia Village and tied up your cousin and took him away."
Wei: Fortunately, he didn't roll down the mountain in Sandun Village and was picked up by this group of people.
Yu: Don't worry, husband, you are safe.
