Both of them looked at the smiles on each other's faces, feeling extremely satisfied. Wen Zhichao had been disliked his entire life, but now he had a wife who supported and understood him so well. He couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart. Xia Ruzheng, having married Huang Zhong in her previous life, had experienced all the hardships of life. Suddenly, she had a man who held her in his arms, loved her, and protected her.
At this time, the cow in the water stood up, making a sound of splashing water, followed by a moo, and then walked to the shore by itself.
The two of them couldn't just sit there, so they quickly took the cow home.
On the way back, the two of them were obviously more familiar with each other.
Now, Xia Ruzheng finds the white hair on Wen Zhichao's head much more pleasing to the eye.
Seeing the improvement in the relationship between the two, Xia Chunfu was also happy and not unhappy at all.
But that night, many people began to discuss quietly while enjoying the cool breeze. They didn't expect Xia Chunfu to actually betroth his eldest daughter to the white-haired ghost! Seeing the Xia family's eldest daughter talking to the white-haired ghost by the pond today was really creepy!
Even if the Xia family were completely satisfied with Wen Zhichao, others would still gossip. Many people were jealous of Bill's easy life. If someone was better off than them, if they surpassed them in any way, they would find fault, pointing out that they were inferior to them. The Xia family was good in every way, except for their daughter, who was a little older. Everyone had noticed. Some families had openly or covertly suggested their sons and nephews to Xia Chunfu, but Xia Chunfu had refused. Now, after all the twists and turns, Xia Ruzheng was actually engaged to a white-haired man, which surprised everyone and also made them feel a little jealous. They refused to admit that their sons and nephews were inferior to that white-haired freak, and that Xia Chunfu had definitely made a mistake.
That night, Wen Zhichao did not go home and stayed at Xia's house. Xia Ruzheng's eyes widened in surprise. Wen Zhichao felt that her eyes were like a cat's eyes at night, round and sparkling, so cute.
Xia Chunfu smiled and said, "Why? You don't welcome him? He's our future son-in-law now, and no one can gossip about him if you tell others about it."
Xia Ruzheng said, "You didn't tell me in advance, and I was worried that he would be unsafe walking at night and might fall!"
Xia Chunfu and Wen Zhichao stared at each other for a while, and both thought that the other had already told Xia Ruzheng, so neither of them told Xia Ruzheng, so Xia Ruzheng was kept in the dark.
With Wen Zhichao, a strong male laborer, plowing the fields made it much easier for Xia Chunfu. Wen Zhichao did the actual work, such as dredging water, spreading fertilizer, weeding, and trimming ridges.
After a few days of hard work, the family's several fields were finally ready. Now, seeing Wen Zhichao helping the Xia family with the work, and doing it quickly and effectively, kind-hearted people put aside some of their grudges and said that Xia Chunfu had found a good son-in-law. Rural people need to be able to work in the fields in order to live a good life.
But on the last day, something happened again.
Xia Ruzheng was still at home, watching over the rice being turned over, when someone came over and called out, "Zhengzheng! That woman from the Huang family is here to cause trouble with your father! Go check it out!"
That old woman from the Huang family? Wasn't she Mrs. Du? Xia Ruzheng immediately became anxious. Mrs. Du was being unreasonable and unreasonable. It was really not easy to talk to such an upright man like his father when she was being harassed by him!
"Auntie! Please help me keep an eye on the rice. I'll go to the fields to take a look!"
Today Xia Chunfu said that there was only one piece of fertile land on the Xihe side left to be plowed, so Xia Ruzheng locked the door and went there.
It took me about ten minutes of running and walking to reach the field. At this time, there were already quite a few people gathered around.
Then, Madam Du's pig-killing voice could be heard from far away: "You, Xia Village, are bullying people! You even bully a widow like me! Do you have any shame? I said it's there! Do I still have no reputation?!"
Xia Chunfu replied without hesitation, "Why do you have to be so shameless as to care about my business? I said I didn't have it, and you're still sticking with me!"
People around were also pointing and talking. Of course, most people blamed Mrs. Du, saying that she was so old, in her fifties, and yet she was so shameless.
Xia Ruzheng was even more curious about how Du had linked his father to him.
"Zhengzheng, you're here!?" Aunt Yang, the most gossipy woman in the village, lit up her eyes when she saw Xia Ruzheng. Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but have a headache. Aunt Yang loved to listen to other people's gossips, and many things were spread by her.
"Aunt Yang, I..."
"Your father is so unlucky that he is hooked up with that ugly woman named Du! Alas! If you ask me, if your father wants to find another one, there are many who are prettier and more reasonable than Du. How could your father fall for her?" He said with contempt.
Xia Ruzheng looked as if he had been struck by lightning: "Wha...what?!"
Mrs. Du actually used this kind of thing to implicate her own father?
Seeing her sweating profusely, Aunt Yang said, "You just arrived, didn't you? This woman suddenly came here to make a scene, saying that your father took advantage of her! You want your father to pay you back!"
Xia Ruzheng's panic had been replaced by surprise at this moment. It was really like a fairy tale. But when he thought about it again, it was not something that Du Shi could not do. For money, Du Shi did even more than Huang Zhong.
Aunt Yang said, "Don't worry. We all know your father's character. He would definitely look down on such a woman. If your father wanted to, there would be so many better people waiting for him! How could he look down on this withered and dirty old woman?"
