Chapter 157: Family Origin
Shui Zewen was suspicious of Shui Juren, but he trusted Nian Niang. Hearing that it was Nian Niang who arranged it, he stopped asking questions. "Okay, I'll tell my mother and then I'll go back."
Then, he quickly jumped back to the yard like a clever monkey and briefly told his family about Shui Ju's family situation. It definitely took no more than thirty seconds.
As soon as Mr. Shui turned around, Shui Zewen ran out and disappeared from the sight of Chu Ci and others in the blink of an eye.
Chu Ci appeared again silently at this time: "Mr. Shui, look, this is the correct way for relatives to deal with problems. You and your parents really can't..."
If it had happened before, Shui Juren would have been in agony after being ridiculed like this by Chu Ci.
Now that some things have been discussed, he actually agrees with them. "As long as my sister can escape from the Ding family this time, I'm willing to do as you say."
This man can still be saved, Chu Ci nodded. "Let's get in the carriage first!"
Chu Ci originally thought that today's trip would only be voluntary labor.
As the carriage swayed, perhaps to ease the tense atmosphere, or perhaps because she had been holding it in for too long, Nian Niang spoke up: "I heard that Ding Jianzhou didn't pass the exam to become a scholar on his own."
Chu Ci's pupils shrank when he heard this, but then Nian Niang poured cold water on him. "Unfortunately, there is no evidence."
Chu Ci: I really want to say that Nian Niang understands reversal.
The fact is, because she was nervous, Nian Niang didn't know what she said.
Especially when she arrived at the Ding family and was stopped by the Ding family from seeing anyone, Nian Niang's mind went blank and she chose to respond toughly.
It’s a pity that she is not Chu Ci. Ding’s mother-in-law is even more ferocious. She slapped Nian Niang twice when they disagreed with her.
Nian Niang was dizzy from the two sudden slaps, and her cheeks instantly became red and swollen.
She widened her eyes and looked at Ding's mother-in-law angrily, but she had no way to fight back.
"Where is Mr. Shui? It's his turn to appear now. What is he doing?" Chu Ci's voice was loud, but the Ding family's mother-in-law and mother-in-law had no idea that Chu Ci and Nian Niang were in the same group.
And what about Mr. Shui?
In his memory, the Ding family has always been kind and benevolent. This time he was just a step too late and saw his wife being bullied like this.
Thinking of the suffering his sister had endured over the years, his emotions instantly lost control. He directly snatched the reins and whip from the driver's hands, "Gee--"
The carriage rushed straight towards the Ding family's gate.
"Ah--" While the three of them were pulling each other, Ding's mother-in-law was facing the door and saw Shui Juren driving a carriage straight towards them. She was so scared that she screamed on the spot.
On the contrary, the mother is confused.
Chu Ci was quick-witted and pulled Nian Niang away.
Although the Ding family was imprisoned after all this trouble, Nian Niang really wanted to curse! What, is she also an enemy of his Shui Dajuren?
However, now is not the time to teach my husband a lesson.
Nian Niang turned to look at Chu Ci: "Madam, could you..."
As Nian Niang spoke, she demonstrated the gesture of Chu Ci using a hand knife to knock his parents-in-law unconscious.
Chu Ci immediately understood Nian Niang's intention: "No need, it's better for them to be awake than unconscious."
Before the words fell, and before the Ding family mother-in-law could react, Chu Ci stretched out his fingers and tapped the two of them lightly, freezing them in place. They remained motionless, like two door gods.
"Monster...witch..." Mother Ding's teeth were chattering with fear.
Chu Ci thought, I thought he was so brave? But this is all? "Okay, let's go in and save him."
At this moment, Nian Niang's eyes were shining when she looked at Chu Ci, "Okay."
Chu Ci and others rode in Shui Juren's carriage to lead the way and found the house where A Mei was - the firewood room - without any obstruction.
However, Ah Mei's face was already pale and bloodless. Hearing someone coming in, she struggled to open her eyes. "Brother, sister-in-law. You're here, I'm afraid I can't make it. Chong'er, they... please help... help me..."
"We..." Just as Mr. Shui was about to agree, Chu Ci pulled him aside.
From the small bag he carried with him, he pulled out the previously packaged spiritual spring water. "If you want to live, drink this."
A'mei didn't know who Chu Ci was, but seeing her sister-in-law's encouraging look, she tried her best to drink up all the spiritual spring water that Chu Ci fed her.
"There's hope, there's real hope!" This was the doctor Lu Yu invited who was in cooperation with the "premarital training" program.
I had only vaguely heard that Chu Ci had a life-saving medicine in his hands before, but this was the first time I saw it with my own eyes.
Even so, he did not lose his professional ethics. Even though he was extremely excited, the silver needle in his hand was firmly inserted into A-mei's acupoint.
After a quarter of an hour, A-mei finally stopped breathing out more and breathing in less.
At this moment, the Ding family finally couldn't hold back anymore and knocked on the door. "Amei's brother, even if the situation is special, there are still differences between men and women. Why don't you come out first? If there's anything, let's go upstairs and talk."
There was no explanation as to why A-mei was in the woodshed. It was so shameless.
"No need. Since the Ding family is unwilling to marry into my Shui family, then we have nothing to talk about." Mr. Shui was not confused this time.
What he said was not very tough, at least that's what the Ding family thought.
"Don't be angry, nephew. This was done by the women in the family. Jianzhou is not at home, and it is not convenient for me to interfere in the affairs of my daughter-in-law's room. This is all just a misunderstanding."
Haha, no wonder Ding Jianzhou acts so shamelessly, it turns out it’s from his family background.
Chu Ci sneered and whispered a few words in Nian Niang's ear.
Nian Niang immediately shouted, "Eunuch Ding, how the women in a family behave is determined by the attitude of the man of the house. I heard that your son, Mr. Ding, has married another merchant girl? Do you dare to say that you treat my sister like this not to make room for that woman?"
When Father Ding heard this, he thought to himself that this was not good, and quickly explained: "No, no. She is just a concubine, and will never shake Amei's position as the wife."
But no matter how he explained, no more sound came from inside.
Father Ding noticed something was wrong and then he remembered his wife and planned to ask her to call for help.
Only then did he realize that there was a crowd of people gathered at the door. Seeing Ding's father coming over, they all teased him, "Ding Zhuang, what immoral thing did your wife and I do?"
Ding Zhuang always regarded himself as a scholar, so he could not stand such ridicule: "If you don't know how to speak, then shut up. My wife and mother will not tolerate nonsense from you peasants."
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone shut up.
If you do too many immoral things, you will eventually get punished.
Just when Ding Zhuang was feeling proud of himself, the village chief and clan leader of Shuijia Village rushed into the Ding family with hoes and sickles in hand, leading the villagers.
Most people would help stop it because they are from the same village and clan, but there were also quite a few people who stood by and watched.
This made the Ding family no match for the people of Shuijia Village. Soon, under the command of the Shui clan leader, the people of Shuijia Village surrounded the Ding family.
