Chapter 28 It’s so disgusting
After satisfying her cravings with several pieces of meat and tofu, Widow Qu continued, "Look, the Zhao family is doing really well these days, and they're really nice people too. I think if you miss this opportunity, you'll never find it again! I really think they're a good family, so why don't you go and talk to me?"
Qu Yutao did not get angry as usual when the topic of marriage was brought up, but instead she lowered her head in silence.
Widow Qu naturally noticed the change in her daughter and was delighted. She no longer cared about eating the meat and said hurriedly, "Then mother really said so! No, we should wait a little longer, wait until after this year, in case they can't defeat the Gu family."
At this time, Qu Yutao looked up and said, "If mother really wants to do this, won't it make us look too snobbish?"
Widow Qu was stunned.
These words, as if expressing her own eagerness to get married, seemed to suggest that her mother should go and tell her now. Qu Yutao came to her senses, feeling somewhat embarrassed and ashamed, and lowered her head again.
Widow Qu was not confused. She knew her daughter's personality very well. She couldn't change her mind suddenly.
Widow Qu couldn't help but panic, and she tightly grasped Qu Yutao's hand: "Yutao, tell me the truth, what happened?"
Qu Yutao snatched her hand and turned her head away: "No."
"Why don't you tell me?" Widow Qu said sternly, "Yutao, I won't hurt you! What's there between us that can't be discussed? I've taught you since you were little that you must tell me everything. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, we'll be finished!"
They are a widowed mother and daughter, helpless, trembling with fear and walking on thin ice, and cannot withstand any accident.
Any little disturbance could completely destroy them.
Qu Yutao's eyes reddened and she choked out a low sob.
Today, on her way back from digging bamboo shoots in the fields near the village, she was stopped by Hulu. The scoundrel molested her and said dirty things. He even said he would find someone to propose marriage to her and that Brother Gu also supported the marriage.
Widow Qu was so angry that her whole body turned cold. "Asshole, asshole!"
In the whole village, she and her mother are the closest to the Zhao family. This is normal, after all, their family is the closest to the Zhao family.
The Gu family couldn't possibly control who in the village interacted with whom, right? So Widow Qu had never taken it seriously.
Unexpectedly, the Gu family couldn't gain any advantage over the Zhao family, but instead took their anger out on her and quietly came up with this idea!
So disgusting!
Those scoundrels like Hulu and Baldy are the lackeys of the three brothers of the Gu family. Who in the village doesn't know that?
After the old man died, she knew that it would be difficult for her to live with her daughter, so she took the initiative and deliberately went to the government to complain and made a scene, shouting that someone was lingering at her doorstep late at night. Although she didn't see clearly, it was definitely not a good person and must be trying to take advantage of her, a widow. She begged the county magistrate to show mercy and send someone to investigate which unscrupulous bastard was trying to take advantage of her, a widow, and put him in jail.
She is a well-behaved citizen and would never do anything sneaky or immoral, causing trouble and bringing discredit to the county magistrate's rule.
She went to the county government office to file a complaint, but there wasn't even a "defendant" there. She tried her best to show off her beauty and loyalty in her words and deeds, but she ended up being laughed at and became a laughing stock. Even the county magistrate was speechless!
The county magistrate naturally would not lower himself to argue with a foolish woman like her, let alone send officials to help her catch some "bastard with bad intentions". He was annoyed by her nagging and could only comfort her casually and finally sent her away.
Widow Qu, however, acted as if she had taken up an imperial sword and started to curse loudly in the village, saying that the county magistrate was praising her for her loyalty and promised that if anyone dared to have evil intentions and undermine the morals of the people under his rule, he would never let them off easily!
You know what, after she made such a fuss, those men in the village who were originally ready to do something evil no longer dared to do it.
Who knew this widow was so different from the popular impression of widows? With her temper, anyone who really messed with her might get into trouble!
The people of Yancun were already registered with the government, and were considered inferior. If they committed a crime, the minimum punishment they would receive was double the amount. It wasn't worth it, it wasn't worth it.
From that time on, Widow Qu has always maintained her image as someone who is not easy to mess with and is carefree. She is also good at making friends with the kind and friendly people in the village. She is warm and enthusiastic, outspoken, and a little rough and brainless. In addition, she does not take care of her appearance on weekdays, has gained weight, and her appearance has declined rapidly, so no one messes with her.
Over the years, the mother and daughter have lived peacefully in Yan Village.
As her daughter grew up and inherited her beauty, she began to worry again. She rarely let her daughter go out, fearing that she would cause unnecessary trouble. On the other hand, she was anxiously planning a marriage for her, but she didn't expect...
Widow Qu pulled her daughter into her arms, patting her gently and comforting her: "Dear, don't be afraid. Mother won't let them succeed! Even if I risk my life, I won't let anyone plot against you. I'll go to the Zhao family and tell them tomorrow. No, I'll go tonight!"
Qu Yutao felt warm in her heart and gradually calmed down. She whispered, "At that time, Brother Hu Ling passed by and he helped me."
Hu Ling happened to be looking for Zhao Xiang. Seeing Hu Lu doing something like this, how could he just stand by and watch? But before he could do anything, he glared at Hu Lu and ran away in fear, cursing softly.
Widow Qu smiled and said, "It seems that you and Hu Ling are destined to be together!"
Qu Yutao was a little shy and whispered, "No, it's not like that. Big Brother Hu Ling didn't mean anything else. It's just, it's just on the way."
They didn't even say a word.
She was ashamed, angry and scared at the time. When Hulu ran away, she forgot to even say thank you and ran home in a panic.
Widow Qu was certain: "Why else wouldn't someone else be on the way? You two are just destined to be together!"
Qu Yutao: “.”
At the Zhao family, the family had a happy dinner. Aunt Li Shiyi and Mrs. Deng cleaned the table and the kitchen. The two children sat on the mat on the floor and played. Zhao Liya and Hu Ling told Zhao Xiang about their trip to the provincial capital.
The Lingzhi that was delivered was obtained. After counting the money, the family now had a total of more than 1,700 taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money.
"Good, good, good kids, thank you for your hard work! Your mother and I are so lucky to have such promising children like you!"
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling both smiled.
"Dad, our family is blessed. Being able to be a family is the greatest blessing!"
"Right, right, actually I didn't do anything, it's all thanks to Ya'er's ability, haha!"
All three of them laughed.
Zhao Liya repeated what Widow Qu had told her and stated her own plan: "Let's wait and see how they handle the matter. We just need to do something similar to them."
