Chapter 541 Preparation and Divorce
At the front of the clinic, two more patients came, and the medicinal recipes were also sent to the kitchen.
Jiang Ruyi started to get busy again.
Jiang Fubao, who was giving a massage to a patient on the bed on the left side of the clinic, did not notice that a familiar figure had been walking back and forth three times outside her clinic.
"Young Master, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you go in and let the doctor take a look?" The servant followed Shen Hechi for a long time, and finally, he couldn't help but speak.
The young master went straight here as soon as he left the house. He kept walking back and forth, but he just refused to go in. Could it be that he had some unspeakable illness? Was he afraid of being embarrassed?
He was a little worried.
"Forget it, let's go back." Shen Hechi stopped and looked inside the clinic. After talking to the servant, he turned around and left.
Zhoujia Village outside the city at the same time.
Sun Xiaotao, who was dressed up by her mother, came to meet her parents in her younger brother and sister-in-law's clothes.
"Auntie, are you there?" Wang stood in front of a house and shouted inside.
This is the residence of the patriarch of Zhoujia Village.
The wife of Zhou clan leader is also surnamed Wang, and is familiar with Wang's mother.
So it is not an exaggeration to call Wang "Auntie".
"Hey, I was wondering who was calling me outside. It turns out it's my youngest daughter. Why are you here?" Hearing the voice, Old Mrs. Wang came out from the main room and looked at Mrs. Wang with surprise.
The youngest daughter was Wang's maiden name. After she got married, people only called her Wang. Over the years, she had long forgotten her own name, so when she first heard old Wang calling her by her name, she was still a little uncomfortable.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's me, auntie. I heard from others that your eldest grandson has been looking for a girl recently. Can you take a look at my eldest daughter?" Normally, if you want to take a look, you shouldn't say it so bluntly.
Others would find an excuse, such as going in to ask for a drink of water.
But Wang Yaonu couldn't wait any longer.
Anyway, my daughter has already served two husbands, so why should she be so shameless?
"Don't stand outside, come in and talk." Old Mrs. Wang's eyes flickered slightly, and her gaze moved from Wang Yaonu to Sun Xiaotao.
Looking at her secretly.
"Okay, sorry to bother you, Auntie." Wang Yaonu and Sun Cong brought their daughter into Zhou's house.
The Zhou family is very big.
It’s similar to the current house of the Sun family.
The reason why the Sun family's house was built so well was all thanks to the rich man Gao.
But the Zhou family is different.
The head of the Zhou clan had a lot of land and five sons.
They are all big and strong, and very strong when doing farm work. When they are not busy in the fields, they go to the town to do odd jobs to earn money. So the Zhou family is well-off. It is precisely because he has many sons and they are strong that old Zhou was able to become the patriarch.
Unfortunately, among his five sons, only the eldest son, Zhou Jinsuo, gave birth to a grandson for the Zhou family, named Zhou Ruixiang, who is already eighteen years old this year. The other four sons all gave birth to daughters.
Worried that no one would see him off when he got old, Zhou Ruixiang's four uncles pampered him.
She really treats him like her own son.
Give whatever you want.
Unfortunately, Zhou Ruixiang caught a cold when he was young, and after a night of high fever, his brain was damaged.
Became a fool.
The Zhou family had found him a wife before, but the two of them knew nothing about each other and had not consummated their marriage even after several months of marriage.
Old Mrs. Wang couldn't wait any longer, as there was only one grandson in the family and she had to rely on him to carry on the family line.
She even stayed in the young couple's room at night, wanting to teach them how to do things. Unfortunately, her granddaughter-in-law had a strong temper and couldn't accept it, so she went straight back to her parents' home.
But how could her family, who could marry her to a fool, be good people? Before she could be personally sent back by her brother, she jumped into the river in despair.
Because of this incident, the Zhou family became famous in several villages.
No one is willing to marry their daughter to this place anymore.
The betrothal gifts earned are not shameful enough.
There was no other choice, so the Zhou family decided to marry Zhou Ruixiang to a woman who had given birth and raised him, so that he wouldn't have to be taught.
"Your butt is quite big. Have you given birth before?" Old Mrs. Wang walked around Sun Xiaotao and asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, it was a boy!" Wang's youngest daughter answered for her daughter.
"Not bad, the belly is good and the appearance is good. Listen, if you want to marry in, you can. I don't ask you to be good at work. As long as you take good care of my eldest grandson, I guarantee that you will have good food and drink." Old Mrs. Wang was also impatient, so she spoke directly.
"That's for sure. My daughter Xiaotao is the most gentle. When she was still a noblewoman, the doorstep of our house was almost broken down by people. Not long after she got married, she got pregnant. The next year, she gave birth to a big fat boy. Don't worry, auntie. Don't you know how many sons my mother gave birth to? Xiaotao and I are very much like my mother. I also gave birth to three boys."
In ancient times, being able to give birth to a son was considered a talent.
As soon as Wang Yaonu finished speaking, Old Wang made the decision: "Okay, since it's a second marriage, there's no need to make any pretense. I'll go find an auspicious day, and then you can marry her directly. Head of the family, write the marriage certificate. As for matchmakers, don't hire one, we're all from the same village."
"Okay, then the betrothal gift..." Sun Cong stretched out his hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger gently.
There was greed on his face.
"It's five taels as agreed upon. You won't get a single copper less. I'll give it to you after you sign the marriage certificate." Seeing him so impatient, Old Mrs. Wang was a little unhappy, but thinking of Sun Xiaotao's thriving belly, she could only bear it.
It was already noon when we left Zhoujia Village.
"This damn old woman didn't even leave me a meal. Look at the way she searched. Pah!" Wang Yaonu's attitude was as good as before, and now it is as bad.
"Mom, I haven't even met that person, how can I get married like this?"
From beginning to end, Sun Xiaotao never saw the eldest grandson of the Zhou family.
"What are you talking about? The marriage contract has been signed. Wait for your in-laws to choose a good date and then you can marry them. You will meet them naturally. These days, I will allow you to live in your parents' home and eat and drink for free. However, you have to be sensible and help your brothers and sisters with work to prevent them from causing trouble with your brothers."
Wang Yaonu didn't even look at Sun Xiaotao.
The couple's attention was on the money.
"Mother of my child, with these five taels, we can send our grandson to school. The patriarch of Jiangjia Village was able to change his family's status by opening a shop in the town, and his grandson passed the imperial examination. We can do it too!" Sun Cong had already imagined that his eldest grandson would become a wealthy man.
He looked very proud.
"Jiangjia Village? By the way, Dad, Mom, did Zhuzi come to see me after I left? How are the children? How are they doing now?" When Sun Xiaotao saw her father mentioned Jiangjia Village, she was stunned.
she asked hurriedly.
"I looked for her, but she said she didn't know, so she scolded him and sent him away. As for the child, I haven't seen her, so I don't know. Tomorrow your father and I will take your brothers to Jiangjia Village with you. This matter should be settled. How can you get married if you don't get a divorce? You have to make this trip anyway."
Wang Yaonu answered her perfunctorily.
Then the pace became faster and faster.
