Zhang Xiaomei stood in the yard with her hands on her hips, looking ready for a big fight.
But Erhua is not a coward like your man!
"I see you running over here every day. Why don't you just pair up with Tang Sannan to avoid ruining our reputation!"
Zhang Xiaomei is really someone who is not easy to deal with. She even dares to slander her mother-in-law's reputation with just a few words.
Fortunately, it was dark, so Aunt Sun's expression could not be seen clearly, but her mouth was already knotted.
"You...you...what nonsense are you talking about!"
The voice was stuttering and crying, and she looked at her son helplessly. Sun Jianliang felt scared when his mother looked at him.
"You little bastard! How dare you let your mistress bully your mother like this!"
Tang Sannan was so angry that he wanted to chase the man away.
"Get out! Get out!"
"Xiaomei... let's go..."
"Why are you leaving? I'm not leaving! Your mother left me with a debt of over a hundred dollars for your marriage, and now she's just sitting there and living happily!
I tell you, if I'm not happy, no one else can be happy!"
"Okay! Go home quickly!"
Sun Jianliang finally raised his voice and yelled, and this time the landlady finally looked at him straight in the eye.
"Hey, what's up, you've become stubborn too! What, if you don't want to live with me, then divorce me!
Well, I see you’ve been eyeing that lame guy for a long time!
This family is rich, and you, one old and one young, don't you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"Shut up!"
Unable to bear the insult, Luo Zhen wanted to step forward to argue, but he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Tang Sannan hurried to help him.
"Oh, I hit the nail on the head. I'm so anxious!"
Zhang Xiaomei's mouth was like a knife, she would cut whoever she caught. None of the people present could be her match.
Where's Erhua? Where did he go?
Erhua went to the back of the house and got a long carrying pole. He walked silently to Zhang Xiaomei, raised the carrying pole and hit her.
Fortunately, Sun Jianliang noticed it with his sharp eyes and pulled her over. They both stumbled and fell hard on their butts.
Zhang Xiaomei was so frightened that she forgot to curse.
“You have a sharp tongue, and you are unreasonable, but you have offended the wrong person.
Go ask around, I, Liang Erhua, am just a scoundrel. I'm not afraid of death if you're unreasonable. We can have a showdown!"
After saying that, he swung the carrying pole and hit Zhang Xiaomei again. Sun Jianliang pulled her out of the yard, rolling and crawling.
Seeing her son leave, Aunt Sun completely lost her temper and sat down on the ground, wiping her face and sobbing.
Luo Zhen immediately felt sorry for her aunt. She was such a good aunt, but she didn't even dare to cry.
"Aunt, please stop crying. There's no need to be angry with them."
"I committed a sin in my previous life, giving birth to a son like this, causing you to suffer along with me.
From tomorrow on, I won’t be able to come here anymore…”
"Sister, what are you doing? Are we still afraid of her nonsense? Besides, everyone in this village knows their character. No one will listen to their crazy talk!"
After Tang Sannan settled Luo Zhen, he came to persuade Aunt Sun.
"Aunt, you can't not come. If you don't come, we'll all go hungry. How can we carve rosewood without the energy?"
Erhua helped Aunt Sun up and half-jokingly said that everyone felt better now and Aunt Sun no longer mentioned not coming.
Despite this little incident, Erhua couldn't sleep that night.
Zhang Xiaomei's words kept ringing in his ears.
She was right. A good girl like Luo Zhen came from a wealthy family and there were countless people thinking of her.
Now that the master is in good health, even if others have some ideas, they can't do anything unless Luo Zhen agrees.
But if the Master...
Erhua didn't dare to think that if a coward like Sun Jianliang dared to touch Luo Zhen today, he would have to beat him out with a carrying pole.
The next day, Erhua got up early again, but he didn't sleep well last night and his head was buzzing.
Breakfast was porridge, and Erhua made three poached eggs.
After breakfast, Luo Zhen would walk around the yard twice with a cane, saying that he wanted to exercise.
In the past, Luo Zhen always stayed obediently in the house and followed her father's arrangements in everything. Tang Sannan was always worried that his daughter would be bullied because of her legs and feet, so he arranged all the big and small things for her.
This time when Erhua came back, he found that Luo Zhen had changed. She had become more independent, thinking about training herself, and occasionally doing some housework within her ability.
Perhaps he had never understood the real Luo Zhen at all. He thought she was a docile and well-behaved little mermaid with no backbone.
In fact, this girl who has been looked down upon since childhood has a gentleness and strength in her heart that few people can match.
She remembers the good things about you, Erhua, and she never cares even if others say bad things about you;
If she lets you go, even if you work hard for her and serve her wholeheartedly, she will no longer even look at you.
Erhua was squatting at the edge of the yard clearing winter melon vines when a figure flashed in from the gate.
"Three men, three men..."
Tang Sannan came out from inside and greeted, "Hey, Granny Zhu is here!"
"Luo Zhen is busy too. I haven't seen you for a few days. Your legs and feet have become more flexible. If you exercise more, maybe you can get rid of your crutches!"
Grandma Zhu walked in familiarly. Tang Sannan poured her some water and brought out a plate of melon seeds.
"Hey, don't be so polite, I'll just say a few words and leave!"
Having said that, he sat down without any hesitation, picked up the enamel cup and drank half of the water in a few gulps.
She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said as she ate them, "Sannan, I've been thinking about you, Luo Zhen, in my heart. Xiao Niangyu is good in everything except..."
There is no need to explain the second half of the sentence, everyone understands it.
Tang Sannan nodded awkwardly. This was the same opening line that Grandma Zhu always made every time she came.
"I have a good family here, they're sheep butchers, and the conditions are pretty good. The young man is two years older than Luo Zhen, so he's just right. I've met him, and you can trust his appearance!"
Tang Sannan smiled politely and peeled some melon seeds in his hand. He had already peeled several seeds. Seeing this, Grandma Zhu became a little anxious.
"Why aren't you talking? If you have any concerns, just tell me. I've liked Luo Zhen since she was little, and I'll definitely keep an eye on you!"
"Our Luo Zhen has bad feet. You just said this guy has a good family background and good looks... I think Nannan is not good enough for him."
"this……"
Grandma Zhu didn't respond to such a simple question for a while, but just ate melon seeds one by one.
After finishing the one in her hand, she took the cup and drank it all, wiped her mouth and said:
"As for the young man, he's doing well in every way, except... he had a fever when he was little... and his speech is unclear..."
Tang Sannan's expression suddenly changed, and he asked, "What do you mean by speaking unclearly?"
"It's nothing. Actually, you can understand it by just using your hands. Besides, isn't this a perfect match?"
Grandma Zhu had a small bun combed behind her big flat head. Her forehead was smooth and she would always touch it with her hands while talking.
Luo Zhen and Erhua heard what the two people said, but Luo Zhen didn't react at all. He greeted Grandma Zhu and went in.
