In short, the Zhao family became rich, and the entire Hexi Village became rich.
Even the old woman who passed by would say a few sarcastic words to the Zhou family, "Oh, you scholar, you really don't know how to behave. You gave up the good Zhao family peach blossom and married an old witch. Look, the Zhao family is rich, and it has brought wealth to Hexi Village. Every family is building a tiled house, but you drove away Zhao family peach blossom, drove away such a living god of wealth. You are committing a sin. You will not have a good end..."
"Get lost! You're not qualified to tell me this, you filthy bitches..."
Zhou Muzhi was so angry that he stood at the door and cursed.
But the old woman was not a pushover either. She immediately gathered her old sisters and stood at the door of Zhou's house, cursing loudly. When she reached the climax of her cursing, she used a bucket of night-scented incense in her hand and directly covered Zhou Muzhi's head with it.
Seeing that the scholar was really about to lose his temper, the maids scattered like birds and beasts.
But it's okay to vent. Hexi Village has always been inferior to Hedong Village. Now that Hexi Village has made a complete turnaround, it would be strange if they could catch up.
Envy and jealousy, all the villages are uneasy recently.
Zhou Muzhi was so angry that he screamed. When he returned home, he saw Ye Xiyan with iron chains on her feet, struggling to do heavy housework.
The work had worn her down to the point where she was completely bent over, and she looked very much like Zhao Taohua back then.
The more Zhou Muzhi looked at her, the angrier he became. Zhao Taohua had been able to make a comeback before, but Ye Xiyan was completely useless. Apart from spending her money, she couldn't even do her job properly.
"I don't know what I'm keeping you for..."
Zhou Mu was so angry that he punched and kicked Ye Xiyan again.
Ye Xiyan was now unable to even scream, and could only lie on the ground and endure silently. No one would come to save her. This was Hedong Village, and she had no relatives. Her family in the county would not care about her either.
Back then, Zhao Taohua still had her family who never left her, but now she is even more miserable than she was back then.
Is this the retribution for seducing a married woman?
If she were to have another life, she would never dare to do anything wrong again.
"It's all your fault, bitch. You're the one who made me lose my mother. You deserve to die. You deserve to die..."
After Zhou Muzhi finished beating him, Zhou Yaozu came over to scold him again. He was so angry that he urinated on Ye Xiyan to vent his anger.
These father and son are exactly alike.
…
Winter was coming soon and the weather was getting colder. Zhao Erzhu could no longer sit still. He saw that Gu Chengyu had not recovered any memory at all. Instead, he was staring blankly at his sister all day long, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
He immediately packed his bags and headed for the capital. If Lieutenant General Meng was not dead, he could find him and return the giant Buddha statue.
Anyway, I can't stay in their house anymore.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Old Mrs. Zhao was worried about Zhao Erzhu and didn't want him to leave.
Zhao Erzhu glared, "Mom, if you don't leave now, our house will be robbed. Didn't you see that... boy, flirting with my third sister..."
"This is not a good thing. Now everyone in the village is saying that Taohua and that young man are a perfect match," said Old Mrs. Zhao, still not quite clear-headed.
Zhao Erzhu almost hit her and said, "Mother, you are stupid. What's good about it? We don't even know who he is. What if he has a wife and children at home? He will miss him. Even if he doesn't, the nobles in the capital, the rich and powerful families, all have three wives and four concubines. How can my third sister endure this?"
"That's right."
Old Mrs. Zhao finally reacted and pushed Zhao Erzhu away.
Gu Chengyu was waiting for his news at Zhao's house.
