To be honest, Wang Shiyu was not optimistic about this marriage. Although the man was the son of Liu Juren's classmate, he was a little too ambitious. He was already twenty-one years old, but was only a scholar. He had been suppressing Liu Juren's daughter and refused to get married, but he still used Liu Juren's connections.
He even directly PUA the girl, treating her like a servant in his own home. She spent money and effort but still got no thanks. This man has a mother who is not easy to get along with, so she started to suppress her. When the girl went to complain to the man, he started to coax her with sweet words, and then told her about his own distress, which made the girl feel pitiful and went back home to find her father.
Moreover, the other party sounded very nice, saying that he would only get married after he passed the imperial examination. This way, Liu Juren's daughter would have a good wedding. After all, "Juren's Wife" is a nice title. Juren can get tax-free land under his name, and the money from the bookstore would be enough for the couple to eat and drink. The girl then began to persuade her own father to teach this person for free. It would be fine if he studied hard, but it's a pity that he is a hopeless case.
Mr. Liu was also dissatisfied with this, but he could not stand his wife and daughter's extraordinary joy, and they kept urging Mr. Liu to teach his daughter well. His daughter was not as cute as she was in her childhood, and even became stupid after meeting that man. She just believed what others said. You know, when the little girl came here when she was young, she was very studious, but now she has become like this, which is very ugly.
Now it has become even more bizarre. A grown girl goes straight to the man's house and works like a slave, without caring about her own face or the face of the elders in her family. Now she is said to be giving away money. Even Mr. Liu can't do anything about it. Even if he is confined at home, he will secretly find time to run away, and then go to other people's houses to farm and weed, wash clothes and cook, and serve the old lady comfortably. Well, in the end, he still has to rely on his parents to support him at home. This is just like being poisoned by a poison, so terrible.
But Master Liu had no other choice. It was his wife and daughter who had urged him to make this marriage. Since he wanted such a life, he had no way to stop it. He even knew that his disciple would definitely not pass the imperial examination. After all, it was true that people would become bad when they had money. Now he let his daughter cheat money from him to spend on wine and women, and even said that she wanted to buy books for study, so his daughter gave him her money without hesitation. After so many years, Wang Shiyu naturally knew the situation in Liu Juren's family.
Mr. Liu's wife was not his wife, but his cousin. When his cousin was young, she met a good-looking young man. The man was good at sweet talk and deceived her. The young and ignorant woman made love with him. The man turned out to be a scumbag and she took advantage of him and denied him. She was even blamed by others, saying that she was the one who seduced him.
He even shamelessly made a big deal out of the matter, which directly brought shame to Mrs. Liu. His wife would come and scold him whenever she had nothing to do. It was only because Mr. Liu happened to be staying here for a few days that the man didn't dare to come. You know, although Mr. Liu didn't continue to take the imperial examination, his status as a juren was already very good, and Mr. Liu had a wide range of friends, so naturally that man couldn't afford to offend him.
After being cheated, Mrs. Liu may have been too young to know how to deal with the follow-up matters, which led to her becoming pregnant at a young age. Her mother may not have thought that her daughter would be so shameless to do such a thing, and the man abandoned her directly due to the dignity of his wife at home. She was still depressed. Mr. Liu didn't have any thoughts about this. He knew the whole thing. It was just a matter of mutual consent, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he didn't say anything, and even had to use his connections to suppress the matter.
After she knew she was abandoned, before she had time to feel sad, she discovered that she was already pregnant. She was even quite pregnant, more than three months in the womb, and her pregnancy was already obvious.
This made her panic, but her mother directly planned it out and let Liu Juren take over. Liu Juren didn't even touch this cousin. When he knew she was pregnant, he knew why this woman had to rely on him and disregarded her own reputation. It was really ridiculous. . . .
Mr. Liu had no idea about this. In fact, the main reason why he took this job was that he didn't like his cousin at all. He liked the daughter of the richest family in Jiangnan. You know, he and that family had reached the stage of proposing marriage. After all, the He family's requirement for him was to pass the imperial examination. As a result, Mr. Liu passed the imperial examination at the young age of 28, while the daughter of the richest family was abducted by human traffickers at the age of thirteen. Since then, he has searched many places to find her but couldn't find her. In the end, he just accepted his fate and married his cousin to save his cousin from the suffering of being forced to live in a pig cage.
She even helped raise the child. You should know that when their family first came to Jizhou City to find a master, Madam Liu had a lot of opinions about their family. Later, she found out that the two of them had no parents' permission, no matchmaker's words, and not even registered with the government. She thought that Madam Liu was not even as good as a concubine. After all, a concubine also had documents. She was just a maid, and a maid who had never been touched.
Wang Shiyu, who knew about the matter, moved to Bengbu. She really couldn't imagine that this person had such a past. Moreover, this man was quite interesting. For the sake of someone he couldn't find, he remained a virgin for half his life. She had never seen such an infatuated man before. It is said that deep love does not lead to longevity, and this is not a lie. This person was originally in good health, but was angered to death by his own "girl". What a sucker, what a sucker.
Although the relationship is a bit complicated, Wang Shiyu roughly figured it out. This Mr. Liu had his own beloved girl, but the beloved girl was abducted at a young age, resulting in Mr. Liu never seeing her again in his life.
He even wandered for half his life for that girl and sacrificed his own life. Otherwise, with his talent, it would not be difficult for him to become a second-rank official.
Although he had not seen that woman, he still could not forget her. He did not take his cousin's plot seriously and just accepted it. He even kept her by his side. He was a reliable person. He just felt sorry for the missing girl. You know, if she had not been lost, there would have been another beautiful story, and a heaven-sent marriage was waiting for her. But it was interrupted by the beggars. It was a pity. This was not better than the storybook.
