Chapter 327: Two Clearings
He Li was pointing to Mrs. Wu, who was sitting on the ground crying, and said to the women who were watching the excitement, "Drag her up to Wu's house, it's embarrassing." ”
Wang Cheng, Mama Li, and two guards followed He Lizheng to Wu's house, followed by a group of villagers watching the excitement. Brother Wang didn't worry about his father, so he also ran to follow.
Outside finally fell silent.
Chen Afu looked at the scene outside the window. The old Wu family is a bloodsucker, and they want the Wu family to raise them for a lifetime. Even if the nine taels of silver are paid off, they will continue to give money under other names. This Mrs. Wu is worse than Ding, Ding is abusing her stepson, but she is abusing her own daughter.
Looking at the Wu family who was crying sadly, Chen Afu persuaded, "Uncle, don't cry, just now Dr. Huang said, you can't bother your eyes anymore, you can't cry." ”
Wu cried, "I'm not afraid of Ah Fu's jokes, when I was a girl, my father and my mother never wanted me to marry, so I combed myself." said that I learned my grandmother's embroidery, and I was born a member of the Wu family, and died as a ghost of the Wu family. When I was eighteen years old, I met the head of the family because I gave up my cheeks and begged him to marry me. I wanted to leave my mother's house, but my father and mother didn't agree, so I still hanged myself to scare them, and promised to give them a hundred taels of silver, so they relented and let me marry......"
Wu's grandmother used to be a girl from a large family and had a good embroidery hand. Somehow offended the grandmother who was in charge, and was sold to Wu's grandfather with his wrist broken.
Wu's grandfather was a camel, known as Wu Camel, and he had not married a daughter-in-law in his thirties. Unexpectedly, I got such a fairy-like daughter-in-law, and I was crazy about it, except for the first night when I used it, I loved her at other times. is also guarded from time to time, not letting his daughter-in-law seek death. After more than a month like this, his daughter-in-law became pregnant. Because of having a child, Wu's grandmother felt that there was hope again, so she broke off the idea of suicide and lived with Wu Huozi.
Their son is Wu's father, who is spoiled and lazy. Wu's father grew up and married a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law was lazy, so the two relied on their father to farm in the field and their mother to do embroidery to support them.
Wu's grandmother injured her right wrist, although she got better later, but in the end she was not flexible, and the embroidery work she did could only be sold to ordinary small embroidery workshops to earn a little money. When Wu was five years old, her grandmother taught her by hand. Wu was already smart, not only learned his grandmother's crafts, but also carried them forward.
When Wu was twelve years old, her grandparents died one after another, and his parents gave birth to three younger brothers, and the burden of the family's life fell on her.
When Wu was fourteen years old, the embroidery work was sold to Shui Linglong, and the family began to have a surplus to build a house and buy land. The Wu family is famous, and the good descendants of ten miles and eight villages all come to the Wu family to seek relatives.
Wu's parents didn't want their daughter to get married, and when their daughter left, who would their family rely on to support them? As their daughter got older and older, they came up with the idea of letting Wu comb herself. Wu knew how selfish and ruthless his parents were, and while refusing to comb himself, he secretly found a suitable offspring.
On the way home from the grave of her grandparents, she met a homeless man who teased her and was rescued by Wang Cheng, who was passing by. Although Wang Cheng was disabled, he still scared the homeless man away with a knife in his hand.
Seeing that Wang Cheng was upright and good, and that he was a military master with a military reputation, Wu didn't care that he was disabled and old, so he took the initiative to confess......
Chen Afu sighed when he heard it, there are so many hard-working women in the evil feudal society.
However, Wu was not only skillful, but also clear-minded, did not succumb to his parents' obscenity, and finally married himself off. She is much smarter than her honest uncle, and with this inner help, she should be able to live the life of her uncle's family if she helps her again.
I can help for a while, but I can't help for a lifetime.
Originally, Chen Afu wanted his uncle's family to prepare and set off with them to Tongxian the day after tomorrow. Now it seems that I will have to take them back to the capital in the afternoon. There are some empty courtyards in the Hou Mansion for them to stay for two days temporarily.
He told Wu what he thought.
Wu sighed and said happily, "Okay, good, the head of the family can finally reunite with my sister, and I can finally get rid of them completely......" and worried, "My father is more difficult than my mother, can that account be settled?"
Chen Afu said with a smile, "Auntie, don't worry, you will be able to settle it." ”
Just kidding, the people in the Hou Mansion can't even handle a scoundrel, so they can kill themselves with a piece of tofu. What's more, the Wu family is unreasonable.
Dr. Huang came from another room and said that the medicine list had been prescribed, and said what tonic medicine Wu usually takes, as well as some precautions.
Chen Afu thanked him, let people give the consultation fee, and rewarded him with two taels of silver. asked Jade Bracelet to go to the Rejuvenation Hall with her old husband to grab medicine, and then went to the tooth store to buy a mother-in-law. My uncle's family is sick and weak, and I need someone to serve him.
The aroma of meat in the pot wafted out, and Wang Xiaomei swallowed her saliva directly.
Chen Afu seemed to see the big treasure who licked her lips two years ago, she got up and took Wang Xiaomei to the kitchen to take a look, the dried tofu and pork liver and pig head meat in the stewed pot had been marinated, and she asked her mother-in-law to take it out and cut a small bowl.
She handed the small bowl to Wang Xiaomei and said with a smile, "Eat." ”
Wang Xiaomei smiled and said loudly, "Thank you, cousin." Then he entered the East House with a small bowl in his hand, and said to Wu, "Mother, eat meat, so much." ”
Wu smiled, "My mother doesn't eat it, but my little sister does." ”
After Wang Xiaomei fed two mouthfuls of meat to Wu, she took a small bowl and ate it herself.
About half an hour later, Wang Cheng and Mama Li came back with a happy face.
Wu asked nervously, "Broken open?"
Wang Cheng nodded and said with a smile, "Damn, we have finally settled with your mother's family, we don't owe them a penny, and you don't have to do embroidery anymore." ”
When Wu heard this, he cried with joy.
Mama Li whispered about the experience, and sure enough, Wu Laohan was more difficult than Mrs. Wu, even if He Li was holding him, he still cried and made trouble, saying that her daughter had learned her ancestral craft, and she couldn't just care about her husband's family and ignore her mother's family......
It was still the two guards who scared and scolded him, and wanted to drag him to see the county master, saying that he had violated the law of the Dashun Dynasty and would not only be punished by the board, but also imprisoned, so the old man was scared and took out the IOU......
Chen Afu told Wang Cheng what he meant.
Wang Cheng nodded in agreement, and he also saw that as soon as Chen Afu and the others left, the old Wu family would definitely come to make trouble again. He wasn't afraid, but he was afraid that Wu's body wouldn't be able to stand it.
Several people discussed, since this was their family's last meal here, they invited Li Zheng and the people who helped his family to drink. Chen Afu asked people to bring Wang Cheng's family food for two days, which was enough to invite a few tables.
This small courtyard is not left, and if it is left, it will be occupied by the shameless Wu family. I asked Li Zheng to help sell it, and let the guards collect the money after a while.
After the discussion, Wang Cheng and Wang Xiaodi went to invite people separately, and several mothers-in-law were busy again.
