Chapter 483: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 33
Zhao followed him out and saw that her third brother's wife was gone. She was startled, could she really have left?
How come it's hitting so fast?
"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, don't rush over. Let's talk it over. Can you please come out first?"
Zhao followed suit by shouting, looking around with an anxious look on her face.
She truly thought that this sister-in-law was a good person, hardworking, capable, and had an interesting personality. She really didn't understand why her mother-in-law couldn't stand her third brother's wife so much and always bullied her. It was really a sin.
She shouted and asked people, but they all said they didn't see it, which made her very anxious.
Chen Xiuyuan was even more anxious than her. He seemed to have lost his soul, running around like a headless fly, his eyes slightly red, tears flowing uncontrollably.
A grown man crying in front of so many people, it’s obvious that he is really sad.
"Yao Niang, Yao Niang, if you can hear me, just respond, Yao Niang."
Chen Xiuyuan was trembling all over, his voice became hoarse from shouting, he was panicked and felt as if the world was spinning around him.
Although he was cowardly, he truly loved his wife, otherwise, he would not have begged Wang to spend so much money to marry Yao Niang home.
But he also has a fatal weakness - foolish filial piety.
Deep down, he believed that the kindness of parents was greater than heaven, so even if there was something wrong, he just had to endure it.
But it was this kind of idea that made Wang dare to bully Yu Yao like that.
Chen Xiuyuan walked around the village several times but couldn't find anyone. He guessed that Yao Niang must have taken a shortcut back to her parents' home, Shijing Village.
When this thought came to his mind, he didn't continue looking and went to Shijing Village immediately.
Shijing Village is located across the river, just a few villages away.
When Zhao saw Chen Xiuyuan heading toward the river, she thought he couldn't find a wife and was going to jump into the river. She was so scared that she quickly stepped forward and pulled him, "Third brother, where are you going? Don't do anything stupid."
The villagers nearby saw that Zhao was holding Chen Xiuyuan tightly.
Chen Xiuyuan's face was covered with tears and he was in a daze. He couldn't help but start to guess.
"What's wrong with the third son of the Chen family? Is it possible that his wife ran away and he is depressed?"
"It looks like that. The daughter-in-law beat her mother-in-law. The incident caused such a big fuss. She must have really passed away. The third brother can't bear to let her go."
"Alas, he is also a poor man. But this matter is also Wang's fault. Why would he steal his wife's money? He is not afraid of being embarrassed. What's more, he said such ugly words. Who can tolerate it?"
Everyone was talking at once.
Chen Xiuyuan had no intention of listening to what they were talking about. He just struggled to get rid of Zhao's hand and said in a daze, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me. I want to go find Yao Niang. She may have returned to her parents' home. I have to bring her back."
After hearing this, Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried.
She wanted to ask someone to follow her, but no one was at home as they had all gone to work in the fields.
"Well, be careful on the road, Third Brother. When you find your Third Brother's wife, talk to her properly. She's a reasonable person."
Zhao didn't continue pulling and said in a low voice.
I was thinking that I had to go to the field quickly to call my father-in-law and my second brother back and ask them to go over and take a look to make sure nothing happened.
Chen Xiuyuan nodded and left quickly, going to Yu Yao's hometown, Shijing Village.
Seeing Chen Xiuyuan walking away, Zhao did not dare to delay and hurried to the fields to look for her father-in-law and second brother.
The Chen family’s land was on the south side of the village. After walking along the path for about quarter of an hour, they reached the land.
She immediately saw her father-in-law and second brother bending over and working in the fields.
Zhao took two breaths and shouted to the field, "Dad, second brother, something big has happened at home, you two should stop working and come back with me!"
When Old Man Chen heard the voice, he straightened up, wiped his sweat, looked at Wang, frowned and asked, "What's wrong, eldest daughter-in-law? You are so anxious, what happened?"
Zhao stood on the edge of the field and told the Chen family everything that had happened.
When Old Man Chen heard this, his face changed immediately and he couldn't help cursing, "This old woman has lost her mind. She can steal money and not feel ashamed. She even asked the third son to divorce his wife. She is really old and confused."
Chen Xiuhe, who was standing beside him, shook his head when he heard this. Without waiting for Old Man Chen to speak, he said, "Dad, I'll go after Third Brother, so that he won't get into trouble by himself."
"Okay, okay, go catch up with the third brother. He went to Shijing Village. If you hurry up, you should be able to catch up with him."
Old Man Chen nodded hurriedly and urged.
Chen Xiuhe nodded, put down the farm tools in his hands, asked which direction the third brother of the Zhao family was going, and then hurriedly chased after him.
Under an old locust tree in Quanshui Village, the villagers were still discussing the fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family, which led to the third daughter-in-law running away. It became a hot topic of conversation in the village after dinner.
Yu Yao hid in the space, looking through the space barrier with a complicated expression.
Although the original owner's husband was cowardly and foolishly filial, he was genuinely kind to her. However, facing a strong and aggressive mother like Wang, he always lacked a sense of responsibility.
She was not in a hurry to come out. She waited until all the villagers who came to watch the fun had dispersed and there was no one around before she came out of the space.
She didn't dare to go through the village entrance, but took a shortcut to leave Quanshui Village.
It was mid-July and noon, the sun was scorching, baking the earth.
There were no oxcarts at this time, and she didn't dare to ride one even if there were any, so she could only walk to the town.
She was wearing a light blue cloth dress and her hair was simply tied up in a bun. A few strands of hair were wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead, but it did not reduce her agility and beauty at all.
After leaving Quanshui Village, she felt much more relaxed.
She didn't want to get involved in the Chen family's dirty business for a moment. Her mother-in-law Wang's harshness, her husband Chen Xiuyuan's foolish filial piety, and the disgusting family atmosphere all made her feel suffocated.
Now, she just wants to go far away and pursue her own freedom and happiness.
About half an hour later, they arrived at Qingshi Town, and she was sweating profusely.
She stopped and rested at a roadside tea stall.
"Boss lady, give me a bowl of water."
Yu Yao sat down and shouted.
The proprietress was a warm-hearted woman. Upon hearing this, she smiled and suggested, "Girl, it's as hot as a steamer today. Have a bowl of herbal tea to quench your thirst."
She was about to agree, but then she thought about her pregnancy, which was the dangerous period of the first three months. Even if it was hot, it was not suitable for her to drink herbal tea, so she said, "Boss, boiled water at room temperature will do."
The proprietress didn't say anything, but just brought her a bowl of boiled water.
She took the boiled water and drank it all in a flash, instantly dispelling the heat from her body.
She put down the bowl in her hand and thought about her next plan.
Chen Mufeng went to Fengqi County to take part in the autumn examination. Those who passed the examination were called Juren. The first one was called Jieyuan, the second one was called Yayuan, and the third, fourth and fifth ones were called Jingkui.
No matter what place you rank, as long as you pass the exam, you can take part in the spring exam in February or March of the next year. The exam is held by the Ministry of Rites in the capital, and those who pass the exam are called "Gongshi".
After that comes the palace selection, and those who pass the palace selection will become Jinshi.
Jinshi are divided into three classes, with three people in each class, called the top scholar, the second scholar and the third scholar, and are awarded the title of Jinshi.
A number of candidates in the second class were awarded the status of Jinshi.
A number of candidates in the top three were awarded the status of Jinshi.
The first place in the second and third classes are both called Chuanlu.
But no matter what place you rank, as long as you pass the imperial examination, you can become an official. Whether you are sent to another place or stay in the capital depends entirely on the emperor's wishes.
Chen Mufeng is the male protagonist of this plane and he is also a scholar. It is certain that he will become an official in the future.
I will go to the capital as early as next spring.
Yu Yao thought about going directly to Beijing. It would only take half a year, and then she could meet Chen Mufeng in Beijing.
But in her heart, she wanted to go to Fengqi County first to see how he went in the autumn examination.
After some thought, he decided to go to Fengqi County to meet Chen Mufeng first, and then settle in the capital.
Thinking of this, she looked at the boss lady and asked, "Boss lady, do you know how to get to Fengqi County?"
The proprietress was slightly startled, as if she had not expected her to ask this question.
She pointed to a carriage shop not far away and said, "Miss, if you want to go to Fengqi County, you might as well go to the carriage shop over there and rent a carriage. The journey is very long, and even if you take a carriage, it will take ten days to half a month."
After hearing this, Yu Yao thanked the proprietress and walked towards the car dealership.
