Chapter 156 Your family is beginning to suffer retribution.
The mountain road is rugged, and the ground is muddy and difficult to walk after the snow melted.
After leaving Zhaojia Village.
Hu Dalang had a hard time carrying Hu Yaozu back home.
He was exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Earlier, after Shunzi kicked Hu Yaozu away, he felt that he had no chance of winning, so he raised his fist to hit him.
Not to mention that Hu Yaozu was weak, even Hu Dalang couldn't beat him.
How could Hu Dalang bear to see Hu Yaozu get into trouble? He could only bite the bullet and rush over to block it.
Then... then he got bruised and swollen.
Along the way, the two brothers didn't talk much.
Until they were about to enter Xilin Village.
Hu Dalang chose his words carefully: "I know how you feel about your stepmother."
"But second brother, some things are missed once they are missed."
He was about to persuade.
Hu Yaozu's eyes were heavy.
"Brother."
He whispered, "I'm going to get married."
"The girl is beautiful and intelligent, she is the daughter of Master Chu. I came back this time to ask my father to choose a time to propose."
Hu Dalang was surprised and happy when he heard this.
"Really?"
Of course it was true.
He remembered the humiliation today. He would pay it
back a thousand times in the future.
What Shunzi, he looks like a street urchin! But he embarrassed him in front of so many people.
He must marry the girl of the Chu family as soon as possible, so that Master Chu can do everything to pave the way for him.
Hu Dalang: "This is a good thing!"
That is the girl of the master's family in town!
He was very happy.
But...
he did not forget to remind her: "Since you have married her, you must live up to the master's cultivation of you, forget your stepmother. Live a good life."
"Don't be confused."
Hu Dalang's eyes also flashed with pity.
If the stepmother married his second brother, they would still be a family.
But things have come to this.
Hu Dalang: "That's what we should do, you should also look forward."
Look forward?
Hu Yaozu lay on top of Hu Dalang, and from an angle that he couldn't see, his eyes flashed with deep resentment.
Chang's house in Xilin Village. The head of
the village sat at the door, holding a half-worn dry pipe in his hand, stuffed some tobacco into it, lit it with a fire stick and took a puff.
He glanced at the dejected Hu Dazhu next to him.
"You guessed I called you over, what do you want to say?"
It wasn't long before Hu Dazhu seemed to have aged more than ten years.
His voice was terribly hoarse.
"I know."
The head of the village stopped smoking: "Then control your temper!"
"You beat and scold me every day at home, and it's just a joke for people to see."
His tone was soothing, without the previous accusation: "I know you hate Wang, but your stepmother is already married."
Hearing this, Hu Dazhu's eyes were moist.
He was trembling all over: "Uncle, you know, when the police from the yamen sent the news, I knew that my younger sister had passed away, but she left a bloodline. I was so sad that I didn't care about anything else and wanted to take the child back."
"These years... These years, I may have acted biasedly for the sake of family harmony, I admit it. Our family conditions are poor, and everything has to rely on Erlang. Stepmother has suffered, I admit it. But compared with Dalang, I value and care about Stepmother more."
When he said this, he felt like a lump in his throat.
"But I didn't expect that Wang would dare to do this behind people's backs!"
He has been dreaming about his younger sister these days.
His younger sister's eyes are full of resentment, but she doesn't say anything to him
. He tosses and turns in his dreams at midnight.
"For Stepmother's marriage, I want to choose the best one for her. As for the Wei family..."
"That's enough!"
The head of the village interrupted.
"What happened to the Wei family?"
"Does it make you look down on them?"
The head of the village thought Hu Dazhu was confused: "You wanted to wait until Erlangzhong became a scholar before arranging marriages for your stepmother, so I said it was inappropriate."
"Yu Niang's matter..."
Yu Niang is Yu Tingwan's biological mother.
He paused and did not mention it again.
"You should know this. Those who come to propose marriage are aiming to marry into the scholar's family, but how many of them really like stepmother and do not care about her background?"
Hu Dazhu did not argue anymore.
But he did not agree with what the head of the village said.
Erlang is promising, and stepmother will have the support of her family after she gets married, so who dares to treat her badly?
The head of the village looked at him for a long time and suddenly asked a question.
"Dazhu, do you blame me?"
Hu Dazhu was stunned and hurriedly said, "What are you talking about, uncle?" The head
of the village did not know whether he believed it or not.
Everyone in the first branch of the Wei family is a shrewd person, but they have already separated. As the head of the village,
he saw what kind of people Shouzhong and his wife were.
At first, Li Lian felt it was a pity.
But the head of the village did not.
To put it bluntly, even if Wei Shen was really in trouble. Stepmother became a widow, could Shouzhong and his wife still have the heart to tie up the young daughter-in-law for life?
Yu Tingwan was afraid that she would have a family that would always think of her. The head of the village
never objected to the girl marrying Wei Shen. At that time, he even thought that the boy was steady and could distinguish things more clearly than anyone else.
"When Shouzhong went to Ze County, he borrowed money from every household."
The head of the village said, "Your family is not rich, but it is not tight. Wang didn't take a penny."
"He came back yesterday and knocked on every door to pay back the money he owed."
The commotion was not small. People in the village were wondering why the Wei family was not poor.
But the door of the Hu family was closed.
Hu Dazhu didn't chase him out to make a fuss.
The head of the village sighed. Hu Dazhu was not out of his mind.
"I've also heard about Erlang's story."
He finally smiled: "This kid is really good at doing great things quietly."
"When he goes to the county to study, don't just say that you, as a father, have a straight back. I will be straight too when I go out."
He said meaningfully: "Don't have conflicts with Wang. You are husband and wife. Erlang is your child. Listen to my advice, don't be stubborn in everything."
How could Hu Dazhu not understand the meaning of his words?
He looked deeply at Zheng.
"I've remembered it."
"Only when the family is well can Erlang be well."
"Only when Erlang is well and helps the Wei family can stepmother be well."
As they were talking, someone ran in from outside.
It was Mrs. Fan.
She put one hand on her waist, and she was panting heavily, perhaps because she ran too fast.
"Oh no!"
The head of the village despised her clamoring the most.
"If you have something to say, please talk slowly."
"Did your husband beat you again?"
The head of the village was very annoyed.
There were endless things to worry about all day long.
Mrs. Fan didn't like to hear this.
In the past, she would have made a fuss.
But now.
Mrs. Fan's eyes sparkled: "It wasn't me who was beaten."
She pointed at Hu Dazhu.
"His Erlang!"
The head of the village: ! !
Hu Dazhu: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"My Erlang is always kind and reasonable outside. How could he fight with others?"
"Then I don't know. Who knows if he offended someone he shouldn't have offended outside?"
Mrs. Fan: "Or your Dalang limped and carried him back."
"He just entered the village."
"I don't know if the scholar hurt his leg or waist, but he can't move."
"By the way, your Dalang is not in good condition either. His face is more swollen than the pigs I raise."
Mrs. Fan couldn't help asking: "What's going on? Could it be..."
Her eyes rolled around.
"Is your family starting to suffer retribution?"
