Transmigrated only to be buried? To voluntarily commit suttee for her husband? Xu Zhichun, terrified, lifted the white shroud and sat up, tearfully telling everyone that King Yama wouldn't take...
Chapter 134 Absurd
Xu Zhichun felt that the greatest kindness he could offer was to find out what was going on and then offer some bland advice.
It is not her turn to interfere in the affairs of the first wife, and she has no intention of doing so.
But she never expected that Liang Cui'er would actually dare to say it.
Liang Cui'er cried and said, "Cousin, please marry Lian Laosi."
The memory that Xu Zhichun had been trying so hard to forget these past few days, which had gradually faded from his mind, suddenly came back to him. Xu Zhichun felt sick, angry, and annoyed. "Did your parents send you here? What nonsense are you talking about? Go back and tell them. If they have the guts, go up to Liangli and tell them directly."
"No, it has nothing to do with my parents. I, I found my cousin's wife on my own. Cousin, please save me. You are capable and better than me. You will definitely live a better life than me. Besides, you are marrying for the second time and don't have so many concerns. Isn't it good to have a husband to rely on? If you don't marry Lian Lao Si, my parents will force me to marry. Cousin, I am only fifteen years old. Please save me, please save me!"
Liang Cui'er said this and knelt down crying, kowtowed to Xu Zhichun.
“.”
It took Xu Zhichun a while to sort out the situation. He asked Chunfen to pick her up and said coldly, "That's ridiculous. Who your parents decide to marry you to is your family's business. Why are you looking for me? I won't interfere in your family affairs."
"But if you hadn't refused to marry Lian Lao Si, my parents wouldn't have done this! As long as you agree, nothing will happen!"
"you--"
Xu Zhichun couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Liang Cui'er, shaking with anger. "How dare you ask me for something? Your parents are forcing you to jump into the fire pit. If you have the guts, go and make a scene with them. Why are you looking for me? Or, how about I take you to see the village head?"
"Cousin, if you're still angry, go ahead and hit me. Hit me as many times as you want. Please save me, please save me!"
"Looks like we should go and trouble the village chief. Chunfen, take her with you and let's go to the village chief's house."
"Oh, okay."
"No, no! No, I won't go!"
"If you don't want to go, get out."
"Cousin's wife——"
"Equinox, take her with you and let's go."
"I won't go! I won't go!"
Liang Cui'er was dragged outside by Liang Chunfen involuntarily. Knowing that Xu Zhichun was serious, she shook off Liang Chunfen in desperation and ran home crying.
"My cousin's wife is so cruel. I hope she can sleep well at night from now on!"
Xu Zhichun sneered. She had done nothing wrong, so why couldn't she sleep?
It would never be her who couldn't sleep.
The evening breeze blew, and Xu Zhichun's head, which had been dizzy with anger, gradually cleared up. It seemed that his aunt and her family had shot themselves in the foot. Lian Lao Si must have some leverage over their family, and since his schemes against him failed, he must have forced them to marry Liang Cui'er to him.
The couple had no choice but to obey.
Liang Cui'er would come here to use moral blackmail tonight. I don't believe it wasn't for the guidance of my uncle and the others. They are really interesting. They are so cruel to me, why do you think I will be soft-hearted towards Liang Cui'er?
It's quite tragic that a young girl as young as a flower is forced to marry a scoundrel like Lian Lao Si, but what does it have to do with her?
If she has anyone to blame, it's only because she has such parents.
They committed evil and the retribution fell on her, that's all.
Even if "retribution" does not come upon you, there is no need to be complacent and think that you have defeated heaven. There will always be a day when your descendants will be in trouble. Therefore, it is better to do less evil in life.
Xu Zhichun looked at Chunfen and said, "Chunfen, don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, okay?"
Liang Chunfen nodded repeatedly: "You won't even tell my mother?"
"Well, don't tell me. You don't need to tell me."
"good."
When Liang Cui'er returned to Uncle Liang's house, she started crying and was extremely desperate.
Zhang couldn't help but burst into tears. "Xu has such a cruel heart! She's so cruel! My Cui'er is a good young girl, as beautiful as a flower. I should at least call her sister-in-law, and yet she's so cruel!"
"Enough of your mourning! Shut up!" Uncle Liang said irritably. "Isn't it because you didn't do your job properly? It's too late to say anything now. Just let Cui'er get married. There can't be any more trouble, otherwise, I won't care whether you live or die."
Liang Cui'er almost fainted from crying.
When Xu Zhichun asked people to build a house in the village, everyone was shocked and the whole village was in an uproar.
I've been hearing about it these days and thought she was renovating the old house. Everyone sighed and said that she had really become rich, made money, and was different.
Unexpectedly, instead of renovating the house, they demolished it completely and rebuilt it. The new house was even bigger and more magnificent than the old one.
"See? Cartloads of bricks and stones have been brought in, along with lots of lumber. We're going to build a big brick and tile house!"
"My God, how much is this going to cost?"
"Yes, she bought so much land before. Even though it's wasteland, it's still a lot."
"It seems that Xu's really made a lot of money."
"yes."
The villagers were extremely curious and couldn't help asking how much money Xu Zhichun made when they saw him.
Xu Zhichun just smiled and said nothing. It wasn't much, but if he saved up a little and borrowed a little from the village head's family, it would be enough to build a house.
This was the external statement I had agreed upon with Liang Lizheng before, and we should keep it as low-key as possible.
Everyone believed it.
I can't help but sigh, she is really lucky, Zeng Xiaoyan is indifferent to others, but she is good to her.
Everyone thought that Zeng Xiaoyan brought a lot of money as a dowry and that it was actually Zeng Xiaoyan who lent her the money. After all, the Zeng family was rich.
Xu Zhichun was a little amused and helpless about this misunderstanding, so he just accepted it.
Whatever.
It's harmless.
The associative ability of the big guys is really amazing.
On the first day of work, the work was in full swing. Yang Mingshu and Liang Minghai, the foremen and supervisors, were paid 15 wen more per day than the others. Chunfen also helped out; she was strong, so Xu Zhichun gave her an extra 10 wen per day.
Xu Zhichun's wages were high, and those who were invited to help were all very motivated. If they didn't work hard, how could they deserve the wages? We were all from the same village. If we didn't do our job well, how could we face others in the future?
Xu Zhichun simply ignored the families of Uncle Liang and Uncle Liang II and did not ask them for help.
Both families were very angry. Uncle Liang even accused his niece-in-law Xu Zhichun of being ignorant and disrespectful to her elders. She did not even tell her elders about such a big thing as building a house, and she did not even inform her family when she asked for help.
The villagers were laughing, knowing full well that you were trying to force someone to remarry just two days ago so that you could take over her fields and houses. So why would it be strange that she didn't come looking for you now?
If Xu Zhichun really had no temper at all, she wouldn't be in this situation today. She might have been forced to remarry by you.
