As the saying goes: "It is better to demolish ten temples than to break a family", it stands to reason that when it is learned that the person who came intends to marry the person he inquired about, even if there is a slight gap between the family and the family on weekdays, they will not casually say that the family is not good. But the second daughter-in-law of the Li Zheng family, the Liang family, is the most upright, and she has never been used to the ugly face of the old Zhao family, and when she learned that they were going to send Zhao Yuanniang to the little son of the Miao family to be her daughter-in-law, she was so angry that her eyebrows rose. It turned out that this Miao Youren had long been notorious in the county, and Liang's maiden nephew was studying in Jinghai Academy with him, so Liang knew him very well. For fear of mistaking Zhao Yuanniang's life, the Liang family immediately told all about Miao Youren's bad deeds.

It is true that Miao Youren studied in Jinghai Academy, and it is not false that he has a reputation for Xiucai, but the academy was entered by his family through the back door, and Xiucai was also bought by his family. He began to fool around in Willow Lane, Flower Street, since he was twelve or thirteen years old, and later the family saw that he was really troublesome, so they arranged a few room girls for him, hoping to detain him at home. It's just that his girl took it, and the Qinglou still took it, and he was the only seedling of the Miao family, and the family didn't dare to manage it too tightly, so he turned a blind eye, so he had five or six aunts and three or four concubines in the year of the weak crown.

Of course, it is already great for a businessman to be literate, even if he doesn't have real talent to learn. And in today's world, a man's three wives and four concubines will not be criticized, and he may be able to get a romantic "good name", so what he said above is not a big deal.

The key is that Miao Youren has a tyrannical personality. In fact, there were far more than five or six aunts who were brought into his house, and the reason why the number kept fluctuating was because new people were constantly coming in and old people were constantly coming out—being carried out in thin coffins. At the beginning, it was said that people could still believe that they were infected and incurable, and they died a lot, and gradually they came out of the Miao family, and it turned out that most of those concubines were tortured and killed. The Miao family held the deed of sale of those concubines in their hands, and the money they gave was rich in burning and burying, so these evil things did not have much impact.

What really made him notoriety was. He actually openly molested the girl who was engaged to him in the pure place of Buddhism. The girl's family was very upright, and immediately asked the Miao family to apologize and break the marriage contract with the Miao family. Who knew that the Miao family not only refused to apologize, but also sued the wicked first. said that the girl did not abide by women's morals and took the initiative to hook up with his son-in-law. The Miao family, who deceived people too much, even released cruel words, saying that they wanted to dissolve the marriage contract unless the girl died. The girl was very strong, and when she heard about it, she hanged herself with three feet of white silk that night.

The good girl is gone, how can her family not be painful and how not to be sad? Although her family is not richer and more powerful than the Miao family, she still came to the door to ask for an explanation. As a result, justice was not obtained, but was framed by the Miao family, who was capable of in-laws, and ate a lawsuit, which made the family bankrupt.

As soon as this incident came out, the reputation of the Miao family and Miao Youren immediately stinked and couldn't stink anymore. There is no longer a daughter of a good family who is willing to marry into the Miao family. Even if some people in the county want to climb to the Miao family regardless of their daughter's life or death, they are worried that one day they will accidentally annoy the Miao family and cause the family to be ruined, so they will dispel this evil thought.

According to Liang's analysis, it is because the Miao family sees that there is no family in the county. In desperation, he agreed to go to the village and town to find a woman from a good family as a daughter-in-law. She reminded the Song family that the Miao family may not be wishful thinking to deceive relatives, and Miao Youren's old Zhao family also has some numbers, so she asked her to take countermeasures as soon as possible, and carefully watch out for the old man Zhao and them, just in case. In the end, the warm-hearted Liang also said that if the old Zhao family embarrassed their mother and daughter to find her, she would definitely help their mother and daughter at that time.

However, after the Song family thanked the Liang family. But he didn't listen to her. The Song family, who was shocked to hear the truth, not only did not beware of Old Man Zhao, but after running back to Old Zhao's house, he asked Old Man Zhao for help as soon as possible.

In Song's heart, his father-in-law and mother-in-law are not the same kind of people, and he has never shown his dislike for their mother and daughter. Although the father-in-law was silent when he saw his mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law bullying their mother and daughter, Song thought it was because the father-in-law pursued the principle of "neither deaf nor dumb." Don't be a Weng", he didn't intervene for fear of causing family conflicts, and he pretended to be deaf and dumb all in order to maintain family harmony.

Last time, my mother-in-law wanted to give Yuan Niang to a widower with a bad reputation, and it is said that people disliked Yuan Niang's eight characters were not good, and the family affair was not successful. But then her father-in-law told her personally. It was he who saw that he would not grow up in the future, so he resolutely pushed the family business, and promised that he would find a good home for Yuan Niang.

Therefore, the Song family is convinced that the upright father-in-law sympathizes with their mother and daughter in his heart, and will definitely make decisions for Yuan Niang. So she didn't hesitate to go to Old Man Zhao and tell him the truth about the deceived him, hoping that he could push away this family business.

However, Old Man Zhao first criticized the Song family for listening to the wind and rain, and said with certainty that Miao Gongzi was not the kind of gentleman she came from hearsay, but a promising young man with a bright future. When Song informed Old Man Zhao that the source of the news came from Liang's assurance, Old Man Zhao was silent. After a while, the old man Zhao began to understand the reason, and told the Song family that if he married this family business, he would be able to make friends with the Wen family's grandmother, Zhao Chengqing's road from a concubine to a wife would be smoother, and Zhao Dalang's career would be smoother. Seeing that the Song family was still unwilling, the old man Zhao began to move again, pointing out that Zhao Chengqing and Zhao Dalang were both grown up by the Song family, and had a deep relationship with her, hoping that she would not patronize Zhao Yuanniang's happiness, and also take into account the adverse effects that refusing this family affair would have on them.

It's just that the old man Zhao, who is good at calculating and honest, miscalculated this time, he didn't expect that the Song family, who has always been filial to her in-laws, is first and foremost a mother, and it is related to the happiness of her daughter's life, even life and death, and the Song family, who has always been obedient, will not give an inch at this time. No matter how clever the old man Zhao is, the Song family just refuses to marry Yuan Niang to the Miao family to die.

In the past, Old Man Zhao was a grandfather, and he could give Zhao Yuanniang to whoever he wanted, where would he discuss with the Song family? It's just that last time Zhao Qiao's family wanted to sell Zhao Yuanniang to a notorious widower, although the matter didn't work out in the end, the news somehow spread in the village, and the old Zhao family became the object of everyone's accusations, and then abandoned the third room, which made the old Zhao family stand on the cusp. Old man Zhao was afraid that forcing Zhao Yuanniang to marry into the Miao family would make the already negative image of the old Zhao family even more unbearable, thus delaying Zhao Dalang's career, so he would persuade the Song family so hard. It's just that he has said all the good things, and this Song family doesn't know how to lift, and he can't help but be annoyed. However, he has always shown kindness and kindness, and he is not used to reprimanding his daughter-in-law in person, so he called Zhao Qiaoshi to "persuade" Song.

Zhao Qiaoshi first pointed at Song's nose and scolded her for being ungrateful. Then clearly told the Song family that they had already made decisions about this family business, and whether the Song family agreed or not, Zhao Yuanniang must marry into the Miao family. Moreover, Miao Gongzi is not young, and the Miao family requires that the marriage be completed as soon as possible, and Zhao Yuanniang will be married at the end of next month at the latest. In the end, Zhao Qiao's warned the Song family not to go outside to spread the word, if she dared to ruin the reputation of the old Zhao family or make crooked tricks to mess up this family affair, she would make the Song family's mother and daughter worse than dead.

Although the old Zhao family was both soft and hard, the Song family was unmoved. Is life better than death? Over the years, their mother and daughter have been worse than dead, which can't scare her at all. The Song family, who had been restrained for half her life, finally decided not to endure it anymore, she wanted to make things bigger, let the old man Zhao, who was afraid of public opinion, take back his life and find a way to live for Zhao Yuanniang.

However, the shrewd old man Zhao quickly understood the Song family's intentions, and before the Song family made trouble, he teamed up with Zhao Qiao's mother and daughter to subdue the Song family, and then tied up Zhao Yuanniang without doing anything.

Zhao Chengqing came up with an idea and said that since he had torn his face, he simply sent Zhao Yuanniang to Miao's house as soon as possible. After the raw rice was cooked and cooked, even if the Song family wanted to make trouble, she didn't dare to make trouble for the sake of Zhao Yuanniang.

At this moment, Old Man Zhao finally took off his benevolent mask, revealing his hideous true face. He nodded in favor of Zhao Chengqing, and then personally instructed Zhao Qiao's mother and daughter to lock the Song family and Zhao Yuanniang in the firewood room, and he immediately set off to find someone to send a letter to Wang Matchmaker, asking her to take Zhao Yuanniang away as soon as possible.

Although Lao Zhao's house is a blue brick and tile house, it is not as afraid of fire as a wooden house, but the beams of his house are still made of wood, so when this yard was built, considering fire prevention, the firewood house was still set up next to the cellar in the backyard. Although the Song family and Zhao Yuanniang were tied hand and foot at this time, it was also a big project to get them to the firewood room who refused to cooperate well. Zhao Qiao's mother and daughter didn't go to the backyard anymore as soon as they were lazy, so they pushed them into the ear room next to the landlord.

This ear room was personally designated as a utility room by Zhao Qiao's family, and it was full of all kinds of things that were not commonly used. But even though Zhao Qiaoshi has designated the purpose, where will she do it herself? Since the sundries began to pile up in that room, Zhao Qiaoshi disliked that it was too messy inside, so he never went in again. The work of tidying up the house was done by Song, so she knew that there was a hoe with a broken handle hidden in the corner of the house. This hoe was accidentally broken when she went to the ground yesterday, and according to the normal process of the old Zhao family, she had to report to Zhao Qiao's and let Zhao Qiao's take the money to Zhao Yongxiao to take to the town for repair. Speaking of laughter, the girl finally had a good family affair, and the Song family never dared to anger Zhao Qiao's family, who loved money like his life, at this time, so he secretly hid the hoe, planning to wait for the family affairs to be decided before "surrendering" to Zhao Qiao's family. Unexpectedly, under the accident, the mother and daughter of the Song family who were in prison could save their lives with it.
