When everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and were taking a break, a villager who was about the same height as him squatted at the door as usual, took out his pipe and filled it with tobacco.

Zhao Dazhu came over and said in a muffled voice, "Uncle, can you give me a puff?"

The villager looked at it, nodded, and handed it to him.

Zhao Dazhu took a deep puff. It was obvious that he didn't know how to smoke. He was choked and felt uncomfortable, which made the villager laugh.

"Young man, you are still too young. I know you are feeling depressed, but it is all in the past. Good days are ahead for your Zhao family."

"I know."

Zhao Dazhu nodded. Although he knew in his heart that it was not pleasant to have so many grievances come to his mind at once, he felt uncomfortable.

It was also a lie when he told Ma Xiufen that he had no feelings for her at all. It was just that the little bit of friendship was not enough to support his forgiveness. This ending was the best.

It's been a busy day.

The Zhao family's new house construction and Ma Xiufen's abortion before marriage were almost firmly on the hot list of Hexi Village, becoming a laughing stock in the whole village.

The Zhao family was bustling with activity, but the Ma family was in chaos.

Ma Xiufen had already had a bad reputation before, and now new scandals have broken out. It is almost impossible for her to sue the Zhao family. It is already a mercy that they do not sue them.

Gao, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ma family, initially thought that if Ma Xiufen could really take over the Zhao family, since the Zhao family is now prosperous, they would definitely benefit a lot.

I didn't expect to wait and wait, only to get such a result. I was so angry that I wanted to pack my bags at home and shouted, "I can't live like this anymore. Ma Xiufen has ruined the reputation of our Ma family. I am also a father-in-law. How will I live in the future? Even if I don't think about myself, I have to take care of the bloodline of the Ma family. It's really a bad apple that spoils the whole pot of soup... I tell you, in this family, either she or I, either I or she."

In fact, she wasn't really packing up to leave, she was just saying that for the Ma family to hear.

After waking up, Ma Xiufen, who had been in low spirits, felt that this moment was just like that moment after hearing these words.

When Zhao Taohua came that day, she spoke the same way.

"Mom, there has to be a solution to this problem."

Ma Yibo came in, cursing.

Old Mrs. Ma wiped her tears and said, "What else can I do? What else can I do? My big tiled house is gone right here... wuwuwu."

Ma Yibo didn't care about the tiled house. He got straight to the point: "Xiu Fen's reputation is too bad. She can't stay at home. Everyone who sees her will talk about it. Besides, we have an aunt who had an abortion before marriage and cheated on her. How are the children of the Ma family going to get married in the future?"

"Brother, I am your sister."

Ma Xiufen burst into tears: "It was you who took me to the town and introduced me to that man. You saw he was rich, so you asked me to follow him so I could marry in the town, saying it was better than living in the village. You said it better than singing at the time, but he refused to marry me. Mother then suggested that we get married with the baby, saying that the matter was settled beforehand. But what about the marriage? He already had a wife and children at home... There was no way he would marry me. You didn't even find out anything clearly. You tricked me, you guys tricked me..."

"What can I do?" Ma Yibo's face was filled with guilt, but he still said with a fierce face, "I can only say that you are unlucky to meet someone with a family... That person clearly said that he had no family and was doing business alone... Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Tomorrow I will find a matchmaker to find a family for you. Hurry and marry me. The Ma family can't support you anymore."

"You... bastard, son of a bitch..."

Ma Xiufen burst into tears in anger. She was finished, completely finished.

With her reputation and the fact that she can't even have children, how can she find a good family? It would be better for her to die.

But she didn't have the courage to die, and was taken to a village dozens of miles away the next day. As for who she married, no one knew, and the villagers never saw Ma Xiufen again.

The fire of gossip has just subsided.

…

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. The Zhao family's foundation and backfill were all completed. After two days of drying in the shade, they could officially start building the house.
