Chapter 184: You are stupid .
During the period of recuperation, Shunzi went in and out of the village, and never forgot to report Yu Tingwan's movements outside. Half a month later, Wei Zhao, who lived in the pharmacy, was finally able to go out. He still looked weak, but compared with before, he seemed to be reborn and energetic. After Yu Tingwan's bag of snacks from home was empty. She stood at the door, the wind hanging on her face was no longer biting and cold, but it still made the bamboo forest in the east rustle. She did not look back, and her words were obviously directed to the man who was writing in the house. "The Hu family went to the Chu family to propose marriage today, and it happened that Mr. Chu was taken away by the government for interrogation." As for why they were arrested now, it is probably related to Wei Zhao. Yu Tingwan was very happy. The Hu family was so proud before the proposal, and now they are so happy and sad that their wish has not been fulfilled. I don't know how much they are hit. The girl's lips curved, but she said sarcastically: "I feel sorry for them." "The ceremony hasn't even been completed, and the backer is already in jail." Even if it doesn't implicate his wife and daughter, Master Chu will never be able to get out of jail again, let alone be a master. The girl leaned against the door, her expression becoming more and more indifferent: "I don't know if Hu Yaozu, who is too picky and incompetent, will recognize my father-in-law who has a criminal record." "Marrying the Chu family will not only not help, but also cost you money. This marriage will probably be cancelled." "But what happens after it's cancelled?" "The Hu family will inevitably be known as heartless and ungrateful." One step forward is a cliff, one step back is an abyss, and it's difficult to make any choice. Wei Zhao said softly: "If you want to go down the mountain, the carriage is ready and waiting outside." ———— Xilin Village. Many people sat in front of the village, talking at once. "The Hu family's display is really impressive. They prepared so many betrothal gifts. They are really willing to spend so much." "Don't you see who you are marrying?" "Little Xu is so narrow-minded. She didn't even make a fuss. She showed off her silver earrings to everyone she met and said that her brother-in-law is capable." "Don't talk about her. Wang was so arrogant when she passed by us this morning. She really showed off her." "Who made their son capable? It's okay that he is good at studying, but the marriage is so good! Look around, who else can marry a girl from town?" "You are not right. This is not an ordinary girl from town." Some people were envious. "Except for this mother who is confused, Yaozu's father and elder brother are nothing to complain about." "That's right. Dazhu is a peddler who walks the streets all year round. His vision is always higher than ours. After the famine, every household didn't have much rice left. But he insisted on selling everything he had to send Yaozu to school. At that time, no one in the village was optimistic about it and said he was stupid. Dalang is also a good farmer. He has been doing his best to support Yaozu over the years without any complaints. Without these two people, Yaozu would not have gone far no matter how powerful he is." Mrs. Fan, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't stand hearing this! The better the Hu family's life, the more uncomfortable she was. When she learned that Hu Yaozu was going to get married, she was so angry that she couldn't sleep at night these few nights. She sneered abruptly: "All in all, the person Yaozu should thank the most is Yu Niang." The crowd suddenly quieted down. The thin woman beside her pulled her nervously: "Are you crazy?" "Why do you mention your late mother for no reason? She's been dead for so many years, why can't you control your mouth?" Mrs. Fan shook her hand away: "You are afraid of offending the Hu family, but I am not." "Why can't you mention it?" "Yu Niang grew up under the eyes of us old bones. A good girl was abused like that!" She stood up and pointed to the front. "She was kneeling there at the time. She was seriously ill and was so hungry that she didn't have the strength to walk during the famine, but she still jumped off the ox cart." "Her eyes were red and her heart was dead. She knelt down in front of the cold-hearted Hu family elders and said that she was filial. In the future, she would also think that her parents and eldest brother were all dead." " She is usually such a gentle person, but she was forced into that." No one said a word. They all saw what happened back then. But they were too busy to take care of themselves. Her parents could be cruel, so how could they care about Yu Niang's life or death? Mrs. Fan looked at these people with her cloudy eyes. "Even if Hu Yaozu passed the imperial examination, the Hu family's graves would still be filled with smoke. Can he pave the way for the village? Or donate money to the village? You all said good things and tried to show your courtesy. Can the Hu family give you some broth to taste?" "You are dreaming?"
Everyone's face darkened.
"Your disagreement with Wang is your business."
"The Hu family did... before, but if you want to blame someone, blame the famine. They couldn't survive. Yu Niang is too beautiful. The two elders of the Hu family have passed away long ago. Why bother to mention it? You have to understand what is more important. If there is a scholar, the village will specially open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors!"
Mrs. Fan sneered and was about to confront her, but she caught a glimpse of a horse-drawn carriage swaying towards them on the bumpy mountain road.
Mrs. Fan: ? ? ?
Ox carts are rare in the village.
This is a horse-drawn carriage!
The other women looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Who is it? Are you here to look for the head of the village?"
"Forget it. I haven't seen such a grand relative of the head of the village in these years."
Someone speculated.
"Don't tell me it's the Hu family's in-laws."
It was getting close to dusk and it was getting late.
"The in-laws were afraid that they would be tired from walking, so they specially sent a carriage to send them back."
As soon as this was said, everyone nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Fan was very annoyed.
Because she also thought that the person sitting inside was from the Hu family.
Seeing the carriage approaching, someone shouted with a smile.
"Yaozu, my aunt made some white flour buns at home. Thinking of your hard work in studying, I specially left a few for you." Yu
Tingwan in the carriage.
Yaozu, your mother's ancestor.
She lifted the curtain, looked over, and raised her eyebrows.
"Who did I think was so generous? It turned out to be Mrs. Zhu."
Shunzi drove the horse, slowed down, and did not stop.
The beautiful girl leaned in front of the window.
"I often heard Wang mention you before."
Everyone: !!!
Some people couldn't believe it.
It was Wanniang? ?
How could it be her.
Mrs. Zhu: "You...what did my aunt say about me?"
Yu Tingwan smiled: "Nothing."
"Just said that you are stupid and send good things to the Hu family. Your mother-in-law must have been angry to death because of your betrayal."
Mrs. Zhu: ? ? ?
She didn't believe it.
Obviously, Mrs. Wang always praised her for her generosity.
Just about to question.
But the carriage had already gone away.
It was the direction of the Hu family.
When the carriage slowly stopped, Yu Tingwan stepped on the footstool and landed.
The girl looked up, and the scenes around her were all very familiar.
"Wanmother?"
Aunt Wu from next door heard the noise and ran out, and saw her with surprise and smile.
She had a lot to say, and she pouted at Yu Tingwan: "You don't know! This family almost set off firecrackers all the way when they went out today! They went to town and haven't come back yet."
Yu Tingwan went to check the door of the Hu family.
It was indeed closed.
Aunt Wu: "Why are you back?"
Yu Tingwan: "Shunzi."
Before Aunt Wu could react, she saw the thin Shunzi came forward, and his movements did not look fierce.
With a "bang", the wooden door of the Hu family was kicked away.
