Chapter 472 Splendid Countryside II
Zhou Jiaojiao’s husband is Qiao Dali, a foreigner from their village.
He fled here from outside during the famine and has lived in the village for more than ten years.
Now they have long since merged with the original villagers. It is only because they came later that their family background is a little less.
At the beginning, Mrs. Zhou was attracted by the ability of this family and built up their property in just 10 years.
They only have one son in the family, so their daughter won't have to suffer if she marries him.
You don’t have to get along with other sisters-in-law, nor do you have to worry about being bullied by your mother-in-law.
This is the son-in-law that Mrs. Zhou chose for her daughter. He is the one she likes most.
Unfortunately, less than two years after Zhou Jiaojiao got married, her father-in-law was attacked by a wild boar while hunting in the mountains and eventually died.
It’s sad to say that the two old people are left to live with the mother-in-law.
"Things will get better, there's no need to worry, big sister!"
"When my parents come over, we'll bring my husband back and live a good life as a family."
"Life is something we all have to live through. There are no obstacles that we can't overcome."
Hearing Lin Wanwan's comforting words, the mother and daughter looked at each other and became more and more satisfied with their new daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.
They had heard long ago that the original owner's parents were extremely bad people, but they were especially kind to their family.
Therefore, the sons of the Lin family never have to worry about not being able to find a wife, and their daughters will not be married off like other families, where they are like spilled water and are not cared about anymore once they are married.
Look, even though something happened right after entering the house, with just one word from the other person, her family members came to support her immediately.
Their family needs such in-laws.
What's wrong with being a little bit better? It won't blackmail them.
That's all.
Mrs. Zhou was a kind person and knew her family's shortcomings, so when she was looking for a daughter-in-law, she chose the original owner after careful consideration.
The original owner was favored at home and was deeply loved by his family.
After getting married, not to mention the dowry, the strength of her family alone can help his son support the family.
Taohua Village is only half a mountain away from Qingshan Village.
Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Jiaojiao had just helped Lin Wanwan treat her wounds and change her clothes when the Lin family came to the door.
Lin's father and mother, as well as the three elder brothers of the Lin family and their wives.
Lin's mother was still worried, so she asked her in-laws to come over. This person asked everyone to come, and finally a large group came.
Those who don’t know, seeing such a fierce scene, might think that it was a hostile guest who came to attack.
Many villagers hid in the dark, wanting to see the excitement in the Zhou family.
But after these people entered Lao Zhou's courtyard for a while, there was no sound of fighting.
Those people couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"My dear daughter, why are you injured like this?"
They had already received the news that the sedan chair carrying the bride had fallen down on the way.
I originally thought of being patient and waiting to visit tomorrow, but I didn't expect my daughter to call them over in the afternoon.
Fortunately, the person who delivered the message explained the matter clearly, otherwise, Mrs. Lin would definitely beat up the Zhou family first.
"Father and mother, Mr. Zhou's family has snatched my husband away."
"Today, when I walked through the door, I saw that Mr. Zhou secretly looking at me with obscene eyes. You don't know how disgusted I was at that time!"
"Then I heard a commotion outside. They said my husband had been kidnapped by the wealthy Zhou family, and they wanted him to work like a slave for them!"
As soon as Lin Wanwan exaggerated her words, Mrs. Lin immediately became unhappy.
"What the hell? That wealthy man Zhou's son wants to steal my daughter's son-in-law?"
"Is their family unable to survive? They're trying to snatch the groom on someone else's wedding day?"
"I've seen bride kidnappings before, but they were always men kidnapping women, or women kidnapping men. This is the first time I've seen a man kidnap a man."
It was obvious that Mrs. Lin did not understand what Lin Wanwan said, and at this moment she was just cursing the family of Mr. Zhou in anger.
"I don't care, mother, you have to get my husband back."
"He actually dared to steal my husband. He simply doesn't take our Taohua Village Lin family seriously."
When Lin Wanwan pouted, Mrs. Lin immediately softened her heart.
It’s not that she didn’t understand what her daughter meant, but she couldn’t tell anyone about it.
Although Mrs. Lin doesn't care about face, she still has to consider her daughter's face when she marries into another village.
It's clearly the other party's fault. If you dare to spread this, who knows what kind of story people will make of it?
By then, her daughter might be slandered.
Mrs. Lin never underestimates the villagers' malice.
"Don't worry, my daughter. Just stay home first. I'll take your brothers to get my son-in-law back."
"Mother-in-law, you and father-in-law come with me!"
"I heard they temporarily raised the rent. I wonder if it's just for you or for all tenants?"
Mrs. Lin understood very well that what Mr. Zhou meant was to bully his in-laws because they had no one to rely on.
But just because his in-laws are weak doesn’t mean his Lin family is weak.
The group came in a mighty procession and left in a mighty procession.
But this time, there were more people.
Almost everyone who was free at home went to watch the fun.
The gate of Mr. Zhou’s house was immediately surrounded by people.
The excuse he made for long-term rental could appease the Zhou family, but not the Lin family.
After Mrs. Lin cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself, cursing the heavens, the earth, and her ancestors for eighteen generations.
Mr. Zhou finally relented and released Zhou Yuesheng.
Not only that, not counting Mrs. Lin, she also extorted ten taels of silver from the rich man Zhou.
For this small mountain village, ten taels of silver is a huge sum of money.
Zhou Yuesheng only spent 6 taels and 8 cents to marry Lin Wanwan.
With these ten taels of silver, you can marry a good wife and have some left over.
Mrs. Lin won the first battle and returned to the Zhou family with her son-in-law and in-laws.
The Zhou couple praised the Lin family a lot.
The Lin family also felt that they had successfully stood up for the daughter of Taohua Village who was getting married, so they were all very proud.
Look, these are the people from Taohua Village.
The tribesmen have always been united, and married daughters do not have to worry about being abused.
Mrs. Zhou was not stingy at this time and directly prepared three tables of food to entertain these relatives.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Mrs. Lin came into the house and talked to Lin Wanwan for a while.
"My dear daughter, you stay at Zhou's house. Your father and I will go back first."
"If the Zhou family dares to bully you, just come back to find mother and let them take care of you."
Mrs. Lin held her daughter's hand, feeling reluctant to let her go.
It’s only the first day after her marriage, and she’s like this. I really don’t know how she’s going to live in the future?
Why did her dear daughter, such a kind girl, have to encounter such a thing?
"Later, I'll ask your eldest brother to bring you two chickens. Don't save them. Ask your mother-in-law to stew them for you."
"I'll also ask your eldest brother to bring your father's medicinal wine. You should apply it to your wounds every day. It won't look good if it leaves scars!"
Mrs. Lin kept giving them instructions, but finally, unable to delay any longer, she followed the Lin family back to Taohua Village.
