Chapter 116 The hero's best mother (Part 3)
Innocent, weak, unable to lift, unable to carry, and falls over when the wind blows...
Such a delicate beauty would be nothing if she was born in a wealthy family.
But Gu Youniang has princess syndrome, but she is not destined to be a princess.
The Gu family is a butcher and is relatively wealthy.
Gu Youniang has three sisters-in-law and one sister, and she has never been required to work since she was a child.
However, no matter how good the Gu family is, they cannot support their daughter for her entire life.
Finally, Gu Youniang reached the age of marriage.
She has become a difficult problem.
Those young men really liked Gu Youniang because her appearance and her temperament met most men's fantasies about women.
But those father-in-law and mother-in-law cannot bear to see their future daughter-in-law being so delicate.
She can't work or go to the fields, and looking at her slender waist, it will be difficult for her to have children in the future.
In a farming family, a woman who cannot work or bear children is completely worthless.
Some mothers-in-law in particular were worried that Gu Youniang was a vixen who would bewitch their sons.
...This is not marrying a daughter-in-law, but welcoming a little ancestor into the family.
Nowadays, marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers. If the parents don't agree, no matter how much the son likes the child, it's useless.
Just like that, Gu Youniang, such a beautiful little girl, was left alone.
Just when the Gu family began to have a headache and were thinking about how to cheat, oh no, to find a sucker in another place, oh no, a good son-in-law, Zhao Guodong happened to come to Gujiaao to collect medicinal herbs.
After a chance encounter and a glimpse of her, Zhao Guodong fell in love with that graceful figure at first sight.
He was unlike other young men around him. He was separated from his parents at an early age because he was not valued by them.
He is capable and can make his own decisions.
If you are interested, then take action.
Zhao Guodong directly hired a matchmaker to go to the Gu family to propose marriage.
When the Zhao family heard about it, they all came over to dissuade them.
Old Man Zhao and Old Lady Zhao said, "San'er, a man marries a wife to live with. Gu Shi is indeed pretty, but beauty cannot be used to make a living."
"Listen to your parents and marry your uncle's cousin. Although she is not as pretty as Gu, she is strong, has a big butt, can work, and can give birth to a son!"
Zhao Guodong: ...Haha, he is indeed very strong and even fatter than me.
And that dark face with two blushes, it's not ugly, but it's not beautiful either.
Zhao Guodong was persuaded to withdraw after meeting him once.
Brother Zhao and Sister Zhao: "Third brother, I know you like pretty girls, but Gu Shi is really not suitable. She has been spoiled too much by the Gu family and is not the type to live a normal life at all."
"The one my sister-in-law introduced to you is better. He's not bad looking, but a little older. But that's not a disadvantage. A woman three years older than you is a treasure."
Zhao Guodong: ...Haha, age is nothing to be afraid of, but you are too "precocious".
She has a charming face and speaks more freely than the pretty widow in the village.
I heard that the reason why this "cousin" was left alone was because she went to work in town when she was fourteen or fifteen years old, and ended up having a romantic affair.
A woman like this is worse than a widow.
There is no way she can compare with the young lady from the Gu family!
Second brother Zhao and his wife, Xiaodi Zhao and his sister-in-law Zhao... all the relatives of the Zhao family, whether related in any way or not, came to try to persuade them with good intentions.
Zhao Guodong: "Thank you for your kindness! But I have to live my own life, and my wife still wants to find someone who suits her!"
Of course Zhao Guodong knew Gu Youniang's shortcomings.
It's just that he can't work and needs to be coaxed and supplied.
Coincidentally, Zhao Guodong has been making a living on his own since he was a child, and he is a male chauvinist at heart.
If Gu Youniang was too strong, Zhao Guodong might not choose her.
Zhao Guodong just hopes that his wife will be a delicate, gentle and docile little wife.
Regardless of everyone's opposition, and with the blessing of his self-proclaimed relatives who said they would "regret it sooner or later", Zhao Guodong forcefully married Gu Youniang.
For the first ten years, the couple indeed lived in harmony.
Zhao Guodong works hard to make money and takes care of everything at home.
Gu Youniang just needed to be beautiful and let Zhao Guodong busy himself and arrange everything.
Moreover, Gu Youniang was not in such poor health that she could not have children as rumored outside.
In the second year after she got married, she gave birth to a son for Zhao Guodong.
Three years later, there was another one.
The two sons look like their mother, fair-skinned, handsome and handsome.
Especially the eldest son, he really doesn’t look like a child from a farming family, but rather like a young master from a wealthy family.
Zhao Guodong was so happy that he ran to the town and paid a fortune teller to name his son Zhao Qingyun.
Qingyunzhi, soaring straight up! After listening to the fortune teller's eloquent explanation, Zhao Guodong immediately felt that his son must be a promising one.
In the future, the Zhao family's door lintel will also be changed by him! Zhao Qingyun is indeed smart, and he has shown amazing talent for reading since he was three years old.
The scholar in the village private school kept praising Zhao Qingyun as a little prodigy.
Zhao Guodong became more motivated.
He wanted to work hard to make money so that his son could study well, take the imperial examination, and become a high-ranking official in the future.
And the younger son is a smart one.
Although he is not as smart as his elder brother, he also looks smart.
Zhao Guodong worked desperately to collect herbs and study medicine in an attempt to give his family a better life.
The result was tragedy!
In order to collect herbs for a nobleman in the city, Zhao Guodong ventured into the mountains and fell off a cliff.
The person died on the spot.
The body was not discovered until three days later by passing villagers, and it was incomplete.
Fortunately, the head was still there, and everyone recognized him as Doctor Zhao, who was famous in the area.
These villagers were kind enough to help send Zhao Guodong back to the Zhao family.
When Gu Youniang saw her husband’s miserable appearance, she screamed and fainted on the spot.
Then she just lay in bed crying and feeling sick.
Zhao Guodong's funeral was handled with the help of nine-year-old Zhao Qingyun and several of Gu's brothers and nephews.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After the funeral, Zhao Guodong was buried in peace, but the Zhao family could not feel at peace.
As soon as the burly men of the Gu family left, Zhao Guodong's parents and brothers came to the door.
Old man Zhao was proud of his status and did not say a word. Instead, he sat in the main seat with a sullen face, puffing on his pipe.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao's butt slipped out, she sat in the yard and howled loudly:
"My son, my poor son, your life is so miserable!"
"A good person married a jinx. She was killed by that little bitch!"
"My son, my poor son, you are so heartbroken that I am dying of grief!"
"…San'er, don't worry, Dad and Mom will definitely make the decision for you!"
The way that Old Lady Zhao "made the decision" was to drive Gu Youniang back to the Gu family, and to give the two brothers Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Qingsong to be raised by Zhao Da and Zhao Er respectively.
As for the mansion and dozens of acres of fertile land left by Zhao Guodong, they were divided up by the three brothers of the Zhao family!
Although Zhao Qingyun is young, he is precocious.
Well, there's nothing he can do. He was born with a naive and weak mother, and his father was busy making money outside, so the family can only rely on him, the "eldest son".
Ever since he could remember, Zhao Qingyun has been helping with housework and looking after his younger brother.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Qingsong, who is only three years younger than Zhao Qingyun, was raised by Zhao Qingyun.
In Zhao Qingyun's heart, he is the eldest son of the Zhao family and the pillar that will support the family in the future.
The current pillar of the family, his biological father, passed away. Zhao Qingyun was extremely sad, but he was able to stand up in the shortest time possible.
Because he knew that if he couldn't take over his father's job and support the family, he would have no home.
The farce before his eyes proved Zhao Qingyun's guess profoundly.
"No need! Grandpa and grandma, even though my father is gone, I am the eldest son in the family. I will take care of my mother and my brother!"
He is already nine years old. Although he is still young, he can support the family.
"You? Humph, how old are you? Can you work in the fields or collect herbs to make money?"
Old Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears and snot with her sleeves, her triangular eyes full of disdain.
Zhao Qingyun didn't care about his grandmother's dislike. He had a clear mind and said, "The fields in our family were originally rented out."
His father is a doctor, not a farmer.
The family's fertile land is mostly used for renting out and collecting rent.
The biological father is gone, but the rules remain the same.
Relying on Tian Zuzi and the money left by his father, the three of them, mother and son, no longer have to worry about their livelihood.
There was even enough money left for him to continue his studies.
He has been studying for six years and can take the boy's examination next year.
As long as he passed the college examination and obtained the title of scholar, he would be able to completely protect his family.
It's just two years, if you hold on, you will definitely get through it.
Unfortunately, the Zhao family refused to give even these two years.
Zhao Da lightly scolded, his tone full of sarcasm, "Qingyun, you are young and don't understand what's going on outside."
Zhao Er quickly agreed, "That's right! Do you really think it makes no difference whether your father is here or not?"
Zhao Si followed his two brothers closely, "Yes, yes, those tenants are the most cunning, they will bully a child like you."
If there is no man to support the family, the family will be bullied.
Zhao Qingyun looked at his three uncles coldly. They were his "elders" and blood relatives.
But when something bad happened at home, they were the first to jump out and bully them! "I am indeed a child, but I still have uncles and aunts. You will definitely not watch us, an orphan and a widow, being bullied."
In fact, Zhao Qingyun wanted to say that his mother was indeed weak, but the Gu family also had three burly uncles, as well as several cousins who were equally strong and fierce.
Why did these people from the Zhao family jump out now?
Instead of making trouble in the mourning hall?
Isn't it because they are afraid of the group of "butchers" in the Gu family? To put it bluntly, they just bully the weak and fear the strong.
Although Zhao Qingyun lost his father, he did not completely lose his support. His maternal family would never allow him and his mother to be bullied.
"Haha, we are going to take you brothers back to the Zhao family to take care of them."
As if he had heard Zhao Qingyun's subtext, Zhao laughed loudly, then changed the subject and said meaningfully, "Gu is still young, and he can't stay with Guodong forever."
Gu is just a weak woman who relies on men.
No one in the Zhao family believed that she would remain faithful to Zhao Guodong.
Once Gu remarries, the Gu family will no longer be able to support the Zhao Qingyun brothers!
