Chapter 135 Beggar?
"Dad, Erfeng said she wanted to become a nun. Have you heard about it?"
Cai the peddler said, "Well, I plan to send her to Daye Temple. I went there specially, and the abbot Huifeng of Daye Temple agreed. The fortune-bringing talisman came from Daye Temple. Abbot Huifeng said that they also have the responsibility to convert those who are predestined for free. Daye Temple not only has monks, but also a nunnery. It just so happens that I sent her there to be ordained. The abbot said that your Second Sister Feng still has sins and debts, so the bad smell is still there, so becoming a nun is a good thing for her. We are also relieved that when the bad smell on her body is gone one day, we can let her return to secular life..."
Mrs. Cai added, "There is a lot of gossip about her outside now, and it is difficult for her to remarry. It is not good for her to stay at home and be pointed at and stabbed in the back. There is another reason. She is afraid that the Chu family will retaliate against her. Although the Chu family is in trouble now, people will know that she was the one who exposed the Chu family. What if someone who is in love with the Chu family comes to trouble her? It is not a bad thing for her to hide in the temple for a few years."
"Okay, I support my parents' opinion."
In this way, Cai the peddler and his wife were truly concerned about Cai Erfeng.
It's not that I blame Cai Erfeng entirely, I just don't like her.
The children had a great time playing, but they had to go home eventually. One reason was that there was no room for them to stay at the Cai family’s house. The other reason was that there was a lot of gold, silver and ancient coins at home. How could they just rely on Little White Hair to look after the house?
Cai Dashan went to the town to rent a horse carriage.
Cai went out with him to take a look.
When I came, I walked and didn't bring any gifts. I went to the town to see if there was anything good to buy and bought some as a New Year's gift.
As soon as I walked out of the Cai family’s gate, I saw a beggar not far away.
During the New Year, no one wants beggars lingering at their doorstep, so they just take a little food and send him away.
Lest it bring bad luck.
Cai Dashan said, "This beggar has been in our Qili Town for many days. He came before the New Year and has been wandering around here. Don't pay attention to him. He is young, has hands and feet, but he doesn't do anything but beg. People look down on people who just eat and wait to die. San Ya, don't pay attention to him..."
"Okay." Cai agreed.
At the same time, I feel relieved.
Cai Dashan has improved as a person and is now different.
Before, I was a carefree and reckless person, but now I have regained my sense of responsibility.
Cai said, "We will pay for the car rental, all you have to do is call a car."
"No, my father gave me the money."
Cai Dashan ran straight to the carriage shop, fearing that Cai would compete with him for the bill.
Cai stopped where he was and laughed.
Okay, let him go.
Everywhere on the street was closed, and few houses were open. Cai looked around, trying to find a shop to buy something.
Suddenly, a figure blocked her way.
"Is it Sanya? Is it Cai Sanya?"
When Cai looked up, she saw the beggar who had just been lingering at the door of their Cai family?
The beggar had unkempt hair and ragged clothes, and his face was so dirty that it was impossible to see his true appearance.
Cai asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
The beggar pushed back his hair, revealing his face. His facial features looked quite regular.
"I'm Chu Huan! Cai Sanya, I've been waiting for you near your Cai family, and finally I see you. I haven't seen you for several years, Cai Sanya..."
Cai was shocked.
"Are you Chu Huan? What do you want to do?" Are you here for revenge?
She looked around, but her daughter was not around, and she felt inexplicably uneasy.
I should have brought my daughter out to go shopping together.
Chu Huan was excited, "Cai San Ya, I didn't expect Cai Er Feng to marry for you back then, which caused a big mistake. All these years, I have been unable to let you go, but my mother has been pressuring me to study hard, so I secretly swore that I would endure it for now, and when I passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, I would divorce Cai Er Feng and marry you..."
Cai Sanya took two steps back. "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about? How did you become like this?"
Chu Huan said, "Our Chu family was raided! My mother has been thrown into jail. She sold poisonous grain and some people died after eating it. They reported her and put her in jail. The grain business was confiscated. I have a scholar status and was unaware of the incident, so they let me go. I am a free man now. I divorced Cai Erfeng a long time ago. You should know all this! Our Chu family was raided and I am free now. Cai Sanya, I have been waiting for you here and finally I have found you. Are you still willing to give me a chance? I am Chu Huan, the man you saved..."
Cai Sanya got goosebumps all over her body.
"I've been married for a long time! I have four children already, don't talk nonsense! We didn't have an affair before, and I gave up the marriage to Erfeng willingly, so don't talk nonsense... You have a brain disease, go get treatment..."
This Chu Huan used to look like a gentleman with extraordinary conversation skills.
Now, what a madness!
Is this human language?
Chu Huan interrupted her and continued loudly, "San Ya, I have inquired about it. You are now a widow, living with four children. You are an orphan and a widow, and you just need a man to take charge of the family. Our Chu family is gone, and I am a free man now. I am willing to be your son-in-law. I will treat your children as my own. I am a scholar, and I can go to the Zhishu School in your Baili Town to seek a job as a teacher. I can also supplement the family income and help you raise your son. What do you think..."
Cai was extremely shocked by his words.
He looked at Chu Huan with a madman's expression.
"You are really crazy! You are seriously insane. You should go and have your brain checked..."
I didn't dare say another word to him, nor did I dare stay to buy anything.
He turned around and walked towards the direction of the Cai family.
Chu Huan followed up, "San Ya, I promised you that I would marry you and repay you for saving my life. Please give me a chance. I didn't look for you before for a reason. I can explain it. San Ya, I believe you have feelings for me, right? You don't have a husband now, and I am willing to put aside my status as a scholar and be your son-in-law. Why not?"
Cai was afraid that others would hear her, so she said righteously, "Mr. Chu, shut up! I don't want a live-in son-in-law, and I don't want to marry again. I just want to live with my four children, and I won't look for anyone else in my lifetime."
Chu Huan didn't give up yet.
He persuaded Cai, "San Ya, we are lovers, why should we be afraid of other people's eyes? I have figured it out now, just live your life well. Life is short and changes rapidly. Maybe one day there will be an accident..."
This time Cai was completely furious.
"Mr. Chu, please be careful with your words! I only saved your life with a little effort, and we are not lovers. When I gave up my marriage to Erfeng, I was willing. If you are talking nonsense, then we should go to the official and make things clear with him, so that you don't have to splash dirty water on me and ruin my reputation, which will also affect my children."
