Chapter 242 Check this girl's background
Geng Ru looked a little conflicted. On the one hand, she hoped her son would be happy in the future, and on the other hand, she hoped that her future daughter-in-law would be of equal status.
Wen Zhenyi knew what she was struggling with: "Aunt, there are not so many perfect people in the world. Do you value family background or character?"
Geng Ru fell silent.
Wen Zhenyi continued, "If a girl has a good family background but bad character, marrying her will only bring unrest to the family."
This sentence touched Geng Ru. She knew a lot of people and often heard Ma Can and her father-in-law talk about things that happened in the government office. Some family tragedies were caused by this.
She looked up at Wen Zhenyi: "Yiyi, can you accompany your aunt to see this girl?"
"Okay, does aunt know where her home is?"
Geng Ru nodded: "I know."
"Okay, I'll go to the restaurant tomorrow and arrange everything, then I'll go with you."
Geng Ru pondered for a moment and said, "Yiyi, please go check on your cousin for me. I slapped him a little too hard just now."
Wen Zhenyi knew she had figured it out, so he stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go get a basin of hot water."
As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw two people acting suspiciously outside the yard: "Second cousin, little cousin, what are you doing?"
Ma Yushun coughed lightly and said, "It's okay. We just came to tell you that you can eat soon."
Ma Ruier nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes."
"I understand." Wen Zhenyi went to the kitchen and brought a basin of hot water.
Ma Yushun saw her carrying hot water and said, "Cousin, where are you going to carry the hot water? I'll help you."
Wen Zhenyi turned his head and looked at the kitchen and whispered, "I know you two want to find out the news, but now is not the time. Don't cause trouble. When the time is right, you will naturally know."
Ma Yushun and Ma Ruier looked at each other, pouting and going back to the kitchen to help.
Wen Zhenyi carried the water to Ma Yuruo's door and knocked gently: "Cousin, it's me."
"The door is not locked, come in." Ma Yuruo's voice came from inside.
Wen Zhenyi gently pushed open the door, placed the basin on the basin rack, took a towel hanging from it, soaked it in hot water and wrung it out, then handed it to him: "Cover your face, otherwise you won't be able to work tomorrow."
Ma Yuruo said nothing and took the towel to cover her cheeks.
Wen Zhenyi sat aside: "Don't blame my aunt, she just didn't think it through."
"I don't blame her."
"Cousin, tell us how you two met."
Ma Yuruo looked up at a sachet on a table in the distance. "I was on duty that day, and she was out selling her needlework when she was harassed by some thugs. I happened to see her and taught them a lesson. I saw she had sprained her foot, so I sent her home. She gave me this sachet to thank me."
"And then?"
"We'd occasionally run into each other on the street. She'd set up a stall selling embroidery, and I'd be on patrol. As time went by, we became more familiar with each other. At first, I had no idea what she meant by her gestures, so I could only guess, which I found quite amusing."
"After getting to know her better, I gradually understood what she meant by her gestures. Although she couldn't speak, she could hear what others said. I knew that many people would point fingers at her, and I wanted to help her scold those people, but she shook her head and refused."
Wen Zhenyi felt that this plot was quite melodramatic: "When did you fall in love with her?"
Ma Yuruo was somewhat helpless: "I don't know."
Wen Zhenyi changed the hot towel for him and said, "Don't think too much about it. If she is really a good person, I think my aunt and the others will understand. If her character is really not good, you can't force her."
Ma Yuruo wanted to defend her, but he knew that the more he defended her, the more his family would misunderstand her. It would be better to let them figure it out themselves.
He nodded and said nothing more.
"Brother, cousin, it's time for dinner." Ma Ruier's voice came from outside the house.
"Right away."
During the meal, no one talked about this topic, and no one even asked what the injury on Ma Yuruo's face was.
The Wen family closes their stall late every day. After dinner, everyone washes up and goes to rest.
Wen Zhenyi turned to look at Axiang: "Axiang, go and check this girl's background for me."
"I'll go now."
"Be careful, don't let grandpa and the others find out."
"I know." Axiang said and jumped out of the window.
Wen Zhenyi could have gone by herself, but she didn't have the skill of lightness skill, so it would have been difficult for her to go out. It wouldn't be a big problem if she let Axiang go.
She now just hopes that this girl is a good one.
Naiyou came to a strange environment and was not willing to sleep at night. She began to explore around the house.
Wen Zhenyi just warned it not to go out, and it couldn't be blamed if it was caught and skinned.
Naiyou was also smart. She knew that Wen Zhenyi was not joking, so she nodded her head and just strolled around the house.
Axiang came back in the middle of the night, still through the window.
Wen Zhenyi opened his eyes when he heard the noise, saw Axiang coming back, and turned over and sat up in bed.
Ah Xiang saw that she was awake: "Master, did I wake you up?"
"It's okay, any news?"
Ah Xiang walked up to her and said, "When I went there, the family hadn't rested yet. The girl was still sewing, and her two younger siblings were helping her."
"Wasn't it almost dark when you went there?"
"Well, they sat in the yard, and the two children tried to urge her to rest, but she shook her head and went back to sewing, letting the two children rest."
"What are their family circumstances like?"
"Not very good. It's no exaggeration to say that the family is broke. She usually relies on her embroidery to make money to eat."
"Tomorrow when I go to the restaurant, you don't have to follow me. Go and help me find out about her family situation, including her relatives and her character. Find out everything for me."
"yes."
"Okay, go to sleep."
Axiang nodded and went to lie down on the other bed in the room.
Soon they both fell asleep.
When Wen Zhenyi woke up in the morning, he found that except for Ma Yushun and Ma Ruier, the other members of the Ma family had not slept well.
Everyone had a lot of things to do in the morning, so after a quick breakfast, everyone went about their own business.
The wound on Ma Yuruo's face is no longer visible, but it does not affect his work.
Wen Zhenyi looked at Geng Ru, who had a worried look on her face, and comforted her: "Aunt, I'll go to the store to find you later."
"good."
Wen Zhenyi was not in a hurry to go to the restaurant. He strolled around here and there along the way, wanting to see if there were any rare things in the county town and buy some for his family.
There are a lot more fruits here than in the town, and the varieties are much wider. She can buy whatever she needs here, and I believe Cheng Lesheng should have already bought it.
