Chapter 16 We are not suitable.
Wei Zhao, who had a broken brain, was in a very low mood.
He was really annoyed.
But Wei Shouzhong was watching by the side, still chattering,
"Remember, when you were six years old, you had a fight with your peers, you didn't win, and you broke a tooth, and you cried all the way back."
Wei Zhao:...
What a coward.
He stared at the ceiling of the bed without blinking.
Wei Shouzhong: "You love to cry the most."
Wei Zhao:...
Since his father passed away, he has no idea what tears are.
Whatever Wei Shouzhong said, he was indifferent.
Old man Qian came in from outside with medicine.
"Drink the medicine. Boy, aren't you from the Wei family army? When you are well, you can go and kowtow to General Wei when his coffin passes through Ze County."
Well.
He kowtowed to himself.
Old man Qian often sold the herbs picked from the mountains to the county and town, and got a lot of information.
"General Wei was the only heir in the Shunguo Mansion. When the news of his death reached Shangjing, the wife of the Shunguo fell ill."
Wei Zhao's eyes were empty.
"The emperor lost his beloved general and has canceled several morning court sessions because of this."
Wei Zhao continued to be empty.
"The son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery refused to believe it. With red eyes, he beat up the soldier who reported the death. He said that General Wei had not yet repaid the money he borrowed from him."
Wei Zhao continued to empty...
The eyeballs moved.
Nonsense!
Wei Shouzhong was shocked: "General Wei would be so poor that he would borrow money from outside? There is no evidence, so it's just that prince's nonsense."
Old Man Qian: "After the news spread, many prominent people who admired General Wei went to the prince of loyalty and bravery to ask for justice and not to slander him."
"But the prince of loyalty and bravery said that the money was used to improve the food of the Wei family army."
"Everyone who went after he was moved, saying that General Wei was indeed selfless and it was something he could do. Not long after, many mansions came to help pay back the money in the name of General Wei."
Wei Zhao: ...
You don't have to guess to know.
Xiao Huaiyan accepted everyone who came, and he was going to get rich.
He made money from the dead.
Wei Zhao finally let out a sneaker.

After settling down in the old house, Yu Tingwan no longer gained any memory of his previous life.
After the wound on his leg had healed, Li Lian brought good news.
"Wan Niang, you should get ready to go with me. Butcher Wu is at my house now."
Yu Tingwan's eyes lit up. There was nothing to prepare, so she combed her hair a little.
"Mother-in-law, I'm fine."
Li Lian saw that she was afraid of the cold, so she put on all the clothes she could wear, which made her look a little bloated, and there were many patches on her clothes. She frowned.
But she also knew that it was not that Yu Tingwan didn't care enough. The clothes she put on on the outermost should be Yu Tingwan's best clothes.
But the girl was beautiful, and even wearing rags could not suppress her beauty.
The head of the village was not far from here, and Li Lian talked to her as they walked.
"Why are you shivering?"
Is it still cold?
Yu Tingwan whispered: "Nervous."
Li Lian: "I think he is very concerned. He agreed when I mentioned it before."
"Your business will probably work out."
"He won't look down on you."
Yu Tingwan nodded, turned her head and said seriously: "What if I don't like him?"
She has to find someone again.
It's worrying to think about it.
Li Lian choked up: …
The woman who was about to go to the vegetable garden ran into them and asked with a smile: "Where are you going?"
Li Lian did not mention the meeting, but also smiled: "Take Wanniang to my house for a visit."
The headman's house is the most impressive in Linxi Village. There are many chickens at home, pecking at food in the yard.
Li Lian sent all the family members out, fearing that they would feel uncomfortable with too many people.
Butcher Wu was fidgeting and looked outside from time to time.
The headman originally thought that this marriage was pretty good. But after seeing Yu Tingwan's calm side last night, Butcher Wu now felt that he was not worthy of her.
He shook his head silently: "You are not as steady as the girl."
"My wife has told you about Wanniang's situation."
"She has."
Li Lian praised Yu Tingwan in front of him.
She said that the girl was smart and good-looking.
When it comes to dating, everyone praises her in a positive way.
Butcher Wu didn't take it seriously.
He was stunned and didn't react for a while until Li Lian brought the pretty girl in.
Yu Tingwan was also looking at him.
!!!
His skin was dark and his appearance was not good-looking, but he was not ugly either.
His clothes were neat and new, and he didn't know if they were just bought. It can be seen that he took this date very seriously. He
was tall and had a strong fist.
The head of the village kicked Butcher Wu: "Why are you standing there like an idiot? You are useless."
Butcher Wu came back to his senses and quickly hid his hand with a missing finger under the table: "I... I..."
Yu Tingwan smiled at him openly.
Li Lian saw this and knew what was going on.
"Sit down, sit down."
She poured hot water for Yu Tingwan to warm up his body.
"I won't introduce you deliberately. We are all honest people, and you are all of marriageable age, so there is no need to be pretentious."
She deliberately let the two of them talk: "Old man, the clothes outside have not been washed and dried yet, come over and help me."
She was not afraid of what would happen if she left the two of them alone in the house. After all, the door was open and she was watching in the yard at any time.
It was considered appropriate to act.
Before leaving, she left a sentence.
"Xiao Wu, many people in the village have seen you come here. What happened last night, I can't keep my stepmother for too long."
This was very obvious, asking them to talk quickly.
Li Lian could actually hear the voices in the house.
In this kind of thing, men should take the initiative, but what she heard was Yu Tingwan's unshy voice.
"Can you cook?"
Butcher Wu nodded quickly. Yu Tingwan
was very tactful: "My cooking is not very good."
Before Butcher Wu came over, he thought that if the girl was okay, he would settle the matter and the two would not dislike each other.
With a wife in the family, three meals a day were also settled.
But now...
Butcher Wu didn't dare to look at Yu Tingwan any more, and the joy in his eyes could not be hidden. He said: "My parents died early, so I am used to doing these things."
Yu Tingwan: "How much do you plan to pay for the betrothal gift?"
"How much do you want?"
Butcher Wu: "I brought three taels of silver this time, do you think it is enough?"
In Xilin Village, three taels of silver are already decent enough.
But he regretted it a little, and he should have taken more if he had known earlier.
"I don't have many relatives, and I don't usually interact with neighbors. There are three rooms and a kitchen at home, and there is a well in the yard, which is convenient for fetching water. I make a living by slaughtering pigs, and I don't have a field, so you don't need to work in the fields."
"I have saved some money over the years. After deducting the betrothal gift, I estimate that there will be six taels left, and I will give it all to you later."
"..."
He said with a dry mouth and revealed everything. Finally, he asked carefully.
"What do you think of me?"
Yu Tingwan drank a sip of water: "Let's find a day before the New Year to get things done."
Butcher Wu was overjoyed, and he tried to ask.
"Okay, then I'll go to your aunt's house now?"
Yu Tingwan was slightly stunned.
"I've moved to an empty house in the village now."
"I heard about it."
Butcher Wu: "The betrothal gift should be given to the elders."
"Just give it to me. Wang won't prepare a dowry for me."
"It's okay. A harmonious family is the key to success. Just consider it a loss."
He said, "I also know that she treats you badly, but you can't be too picky about some things with your elders."
"You can't completely cut off contact. Your mother's family is your confidence."
He spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Yu Tingwan's expression completely faded.
She never drags her feet.
She stood up: "I think we are not suitable."
Yu Tingwan: My cooking is not very delicious
. Wei Zhao didn't say anything.
Yu Tingwan kicked him.
He had no desire to live, and said dryly: Let's starve to death together
