Chapter 26 I'm Coming to Marry You
"Mother promises you, we will leave tonight." Ji closed her eyes and a tear fell.
She is now out of options. Hope is right in front of her. How can she be willing to give up? If she gives up, what will be the point of all her previous efforts?
The reputation of both mother and son is now ruined. If they continue to stay in the village, not only will there be no benefits, but they will also be harassed by all kinds of people.
The only thing he could do was to hide himself and let his son study hard and take part in the autumn examination.
When he goes to high school next year, she will come back and slap those stinky women in the face.
Ji touched his red and swollen face, and the more he thought about it, the more hateful he became.
"But how are we going to live in the town?" Xu Xiucai asked what was on his mind.
Ji looked at her son in front of her and felt more and more that he was useless. She had spoiled him so much over the years that he could not even lift or carry anything.
He carried her on his back and made her fall three times today, and just now he was angry with her, and now he comes to ask her what to do.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already passed the imperial examination, Ji would probably have sneaked away.
"I have a lover in town. He introduced me to the luxurious clothes I brought back. He also has a small courtyard in town."
"Although it's not big, it's enough for us to stay. But if we go there, we'll have to marry him. Do you want me to remarry?"
Ji turned his head to look at his son. Xu Xiucai was silent for a moment and then said, "As long as he is willing to pay for my travel expenses to take the exam, it doesn't matter if I call him dad!"
Ji looked at him in surprise, but finally said nothing and nodded: "Then go pack up, we will leave tonight, and when the time comes, put me on the wheelbarrow in our house, and you push me to town."
Xu Xiucai nodded, helped her pack some clothes, and then went back to his room to pack his things.
Ji struggled to get up, took out all the silver he had hidden, and put it close to his body.
The insults from outside gradually died down, perhaps because they saw that they had not opened the door and it was not convenient to break in. In addition, the village chief of Xiaoxu Village also came and scolded them, so the group of women left.
After Wu cursed for a while, she was persuaded by Fan Cuilan to go back.
Xu Xiucai didn't know how to cook at all. He ate a few bites of the pancake he had at noon, but found that it was a little rotten.
He had never suffered such injustice before, and he felt more and more resentful in his heart. He resented Yu Banxia for not knowing what was good for him, resented the ugly things that Ji had done, and resented all those who had a problem with him.
As night fell, Xu Xiucai also took a nap in bed, and the moon was rising above the branches.
Xu Xiucai woke up, helped Ji up, placed her on a wheelbarrow, and secretly opened the door, but found that the wheelbarrow could not get out.
He helped Ji out of the door first. Ji sat on the big rock at the door. She had recovered and was not so weak anymore.
But her whole body was in pain and she couldn't bear it.
Under the moonlight, I watched him stumblingly push the wheelbarrow out, then turn around and lock the door. He was already out of breath, and I couldn't help but feel disgusted.
What a burden.
Xu Xiucai, panting, helped Ji onto the wheelbarrow again, and pushed it towards the road outside the village, stumbling and stumbling.
While others were having a good night's sleep, this mother and son were running on the road.
At daybreak, he finally pushed the man to the town gate. The guard looked at the embarrassed mother and son, carefully checked their past, and saw that the man was a scholar.
His expression improved: "Hey, Xu Xiucai, what happened to you?"
"My mother fell yesterday. I didn't want to trouble others, so I went out in the middle of the night and pushed her to the town to find a clinic for treatment."
"I seldom do any work on weekdays. As the saying goes, a scholar is good for nothing. I am so weak that I can't even tie a chicken. The official laughed at me." Xu Xiucai said self-deprecatingly.
Seeing this, the guard said no more and returned the things to him. Ji paid the money to enter the town, and then the mother and son entered the town.
Under Ji's guidance, the wheelbarrow finally stopped in front of a remote courtyard.
“Knock knock…”
"Who is it? Why do you come to disturb my sweet dream so early in the morning?" An impatient voice came. The door opened and Ji was seen on the tricycle.
The impatience on the man's face disappeared instantly. He smiled and walked forward and asked, "Haitang, why are you here?"
"Cheng Da, I'm here to marry you. Are you still willing to marry me?" Ji looked at Cheng Da aggrievedly.
When Cheng Da heard this, he immediately became happy. He rubbed his hands and looked at Xu Xiucai, so excited that he didn't know what to do.
After a long while, he said, "Yes, yes, why not, I will marry you!"
"Okay, carry me back to my room. This is my son, a scholar." Ji stretched out her hand to him, and Cheng Da bent down and held the child in his arms.
He said several good words in a row: "Good, good, I have a new wife, I have a son, and my son is a scholar."
"Hurry, come in first." Cheng Da called to Xu Xiucai, who pushed the car in with difficulty and closed the door.
Looking around Cheng Da's yard, I was quite satisfied.
"I'll go buy breakfast for you. What do you want to eat, meat buns or noodles?" Cheng Da looked at Xu Xiucai excitedly but awkwardly.
Xu Xiucai touched his belly and said, "Dad, can I have both?"
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll go buy it for you." When Xu Xiucai called him father, Cheng Da almost lost his mind and kept saying yes.
Cheng Da quickly took the bowl and went out, Xu Xiucai entered the main room, and Ji leaned on the bed.
"My son is able to take things and let them go. You should study hard, pass the imperial examination, and return home in glory."
"Yes." Xu Xiucai was not someone who was easily satisfied, but now he was like a rat crossing the street, and this was already the best outcome.
He believed that his mother was capable and that there would be better things in the future.
…
Yu Banxia slept well the night before. She woke up early and started dancing with a sword in the yard with a branch.
This is a set of sword techniques. Although she has no internal strength, she has supernatural powers. As long as she practices well, the power of her moves will not be bad.
"Pah pah pah pah..." Yu Mancang had been watching from the side for a long time.
Yu Banxia wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Third brother, when your leg is healed, I will definitely teach you a more powerful spear technique."
"Okay." Yu Mancang responded with a smile.
Yu Banxia added, "Third brother, you are going up the mountain with Uncle Cheng today. This is what I prepared for you last night. Take it with you."
"The bottle with the yellow stopper contains insect repellent powder. Sprinkle it around when you sleep."
"The green bottle is for wound healing, the red one is for saving your life. If you are poisoned, you can take one first. The blue bottle is for treating internal injuries."
"Okay, thank you, little sister." Yu Mancang took the small cloth bag and thanked her.
Yu Banxia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why should we be so polite to each other when we are siblings?"
"Oh, there's also an oil-paper bag inside, which contains some biscuits. They're not very chewy, but they're good enough to fill you up."
Yu Mancang quickly found the thing wrapped in oil paper that she mentioned and said yes.
