Ze Li and Yu Mo saw Qian Ning helping Zhao Xiucai. It seemed that Zhao Xiucai was drunk, and his face was very red.
The two little guys have very simple thoughts. Their mother said that Zhao Xiucai is not a good person, but Qian Ning is their eldest brother’s good friend, so they should form a united front with their family. How can they stand with the enemy?
Han Zeyu touched her chin. As the original body's best friend, this Qian Ning was quite interesting...
After breakfast, Han Cheng went to the fields to check on the crops, Zhao cleaned the yard at home, and Han Zeyu agreed to take his younger siblings to the mountain. Zhao was worried that Yu Ge'er couldn't take care of them, so she wanted to persuade the two younger ones not to cause trouble for the eldest brother.
The two children had fought so hard for this opportunity, so they were not willing to give it up easily and shook their heads like rattles.
Han Zeyu said indifferently: "Don't worry, mother. We will just walk around the foot of the mountain. We have our ancestors' blessings, so don't worry."
Zhao waved her hand, saying that the children were older and harder to control, and besides, she couldn't control them, so just let them be!
Yunshan Village is nestled in the mountains and beside the water. It is a beautiful place. As long as the villagers are diligent, they can live a good life. But there are always a few bad apples in every place, just like Aunt Zhao who is now acting as a stumbling block.
"Brother Yu, my eldest son is already engaged. When will you settle down? Eighteen years old isn't young at all. My nephew from my mother's side is only four years older than you. They're of similar age and have similar family backgrounds. How about I set you up and compare your horoscopes?"
Han Zeyu raised his eyebrows. It turned out that no one should be underestimated. Aunt Zhao wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Not only did she help her son avoid unnecessary involvement, but she also found a new outlet for the domestic violence man in her mother's family.
The reason why it is called "finding a new one" has to do with the regulations of the current dynasty. There is a clear regulation in this dynasty that no matter whether a man or a boy is over 20 years old and has not yet married, the government will designate a marriage partner for him or her, commonly known as official marriage.
This violent man got a wife arranged by the government when he was 20 years old. However, only one year after the marriage, his wife broke his leg. He fell by the river while washing clothes in the cold weather.
By the time other villagers found him, he was almost frozen to death. Even if he was rescued, he didn't live to see the New Year. He passed away silently.
The poor woman was originally an orphan with no one to rely on. After her death, her only old house was taken away by her murderer.
Now this vicious woman wants to do me a favor, which is a nice idea.
Thinking of this, Han Zeyu looked at the women next to him who seemed to be indifferent but were actually listening with their ears pricked up. His eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.
Han Zeyu took two steps forward, took Aunt Zhao's arm affectionately, and said warmly, "Aunt, you shouldn't waste your energy. You've gone through such a long detour. It's really a long way around."
When Zhao Yan's mother heard this, she quickly distanced herself from the matter: "Brother Yu! I know what you're thinking, but my Dalang just got engaged yesterday. Don't hang yourself on a tree. My nephew is really a good person. Don't listen to those outsiders' gossips."
"Oh? If your nephew from your mother's side is really that good, why don't you marry Minjie to him? Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a closer relationship?"
Zhao Yan's mother immediately became anxious: "How dare you talk like that, little brother? I see you're not young anymore, and your love for my Dalang has led to no avail. I'm trying to introduce you to a man out of good intentions, but if you don't appreciate it, forget it. Don't even bother trying to get involved with my Minjie!"
Han Zeyu looked at his arm being flung away and sneered, "So Auntie also knows that reputation is important? I thought you didn't care because you were so outspoken! I treat Zhao Yan as a good brother, and this is how he plots against me. Could it be that all those sage books he read have gone to waste?"
"You're talking nonsense! How could you maliciously slander my son?"
Seeing that the other party was about to take desperate measures, Han Zeyu quickly slowed down his tone: "Don't be angry, it's all my fault. You just urged me to get married, and I was provoked. I have been friends with Brother Zhao since childhood, but I actually have my reasons."
The eavesdroppers moved closer. "What's the matter?" they asked. "Tell me about it."
Han Zeyu said shyly, "I thought that if I could get along well with my brother, it would be easier for me to ask for my sister's hand in marriage in the future."
As soon as Yu Ge'er said this, the air around them seemed to freeze.
After a moment of stunned silence, Zhao Yan's mother hesitated and asked, "What? What did you say you wanted to marry?"
Han Zeyu said seriously, "Aunt, I want to marry your daughter, Minjie. I'm eighteen years old, and she's fourteen. We're of similar age, and our family backgrounds are also compatible. We can be considered childhood sweethearts, two people with no secrets. We're a match made in heaven."
Everyone was shocked by his outrageous remarks. How could a young man want to get married?
The laws of the time say...
Huh? The laws of the dynasty allow you to live alone. Does that mean you can also marry and have children?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan's mother turned around and ran away in fear, waving her hands and saying, "Don't chase me, don't chase me. I won't marry my daughter to you. If you don't think about getting married, why would you marry a wife?"
Han Zeyu chased after him relentlessly, trying to give himself a chance.
"Why can't I get married? I also want to live a life with a wife and children and a warm bed! People must have ideals in life, otherwise what's the difference between them and salted fish? Aunt Zhao, please run slower, your son-in-law can't catch up..."
Zhao Yan's mother ran at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, determined to leave this shameless guy far behind. What a sin!
Seeing that he could not catch up, Han Zeyu watched his mother-in-law's back with regret, his fingertips moving slightly.
"Ouch~ Which damn little bastard didn't you know to flatten the pile of dirt after playing? Ouch, it hurts so much~"
"Auntie, don't move! Wait for me to come and help you!"
Zhao Yan's mother turned her head to take a look, fearing that Han Zeyu would pester her. She quickly got up and ran towards home.
Han Zeyu returned dejectedly, muttering, "Why has my love life been so bumpy?"
Everyone looked at Yu Ge'er's receding back and couldn't help but sigh. The little boy was born beautiful, and although he was a boy, most of them would end up getting married. This was the way the world was.
They also understood the Zhao family's wife. If it were their family, they would definitely not marry their daughter to a young boy. Not to mention the difficulty of having children, just from the perspective of appearance and body shape, they could not get over the hurdle in their hearts.
Han Zeyu, who had just "broken up", was very sad. He sadly carried a backpack on his back and sadly took his younger brother and sister into the mountains.
The two children had no idea what their eldest brother had just experienced. They intuitively felt that the atmosphere was not good, so they followed behind their eldest brother obediently and tried to minimize their presence as much as possible.
