Wang Yunqing has been arrested for more than 10 days, and there has been no news of him so far. Shuzhen quit her job and ran for her father's affairs every day, and some departments gave her nothing more than the words that she would never wronged a good person or let go of a bad person. As a family member of the so-called traitor, she suffered a lot of white eyes. On this day, Mrs. Wang didn't let Shuzhen go out again after breakfast, and the two of them sat listlessly together while drinking tea and discussing the matter of rescuing Wang Yunqing.

While the two were talking, a maid came in from outside the house and told Mrs. Wang that someone outside was asking to see her, and Mrs. Wang asked, "Who came to visit the door early in the morning?" ”

The servant replied, "The person who came is the former butler Lao Zhao." ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was furious: "This dead old Zhao! What is he doing here? She said to the servant, "Tell him, let him get me away, I don't want to see him!" ”

After the servant withdrew, he walked in after a while and said, "Madam, Lao Zhao is not leaving, he said that there is something important to discuss, and I have to see you today." ”

Mrs. Wang said categorically: "No! Tell a few people to blow him away! ”

The maid promised to go out, and Shuzhen hurriedly stopped her. Shuzhen said to her mother: "Lao Zhao, he came just in time today, and I just wanted to ask him about my father's arrest!" Just let him in and see what he says. ”

Mrs. Wang thought about it and felt that what Shuzhen said was reasonable, so she waved her hand to the servant and said, "Okay, then call Lao Zhao in." ”

After a while, the maid led Lao Zhao into the house. Lao Zhao is wearing a brand-new blue tunics today, with a shaved beard and a shiny oil from the large and medium combs. When he entered the house, he bowed his head to Mrs. Wang and Shuzhen and said, "Madame and Miss are okay lately?" Lao Zhao is polite! ”

Mrs. Wang responded coldly: "Lao Zhao, you can also chew words?" Thanks to you, our family is in trouble now. ”

Lao Zhao showed a surprised expression and asked, "Oh? Madame has been in trouble lately? ”

Shuzhen, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "Lao Zhao, don't you know the good things you did?" Don't play fool with me! ”

Lao Zhao asked rhetorically: "Miss, why can't I understand what you said?" ”

"You're pretending to be confused! You sued my lord for the black state and let the government arrest him in prison, this time you have relieved your hatred for my Wang family, right? Isn't it? Mrs. Wang took over and said.

Lao Zhao bowed his head and said: "Madam, you are wrong, the lord and Mrs. are as kind to me as a mountain, and my Lao Zhao only has gratitude and no hatred in his heart." Now that the government says it wants to purge the remnants of the counter-revolutionaries in society, I don't know why they found me and asked me about the situation of the old man. How dare I not say it, in fact, I just told the truth, and I didn't mean to frame the master. I really didn't expect them to arrest the master! When I think about it, I also regret that I talk too much, I can't stand the master! Lao Zhao pretended to be very sad.

Mrs. Wang looked at Lao Zhao's pretentious face and got angry, thinking in her heart why haven't I seen through him for more than ten years? She said to Lao Zhao disdainfully: "You old fox, don't act here!" We're not three-year-olds who let you get covered. Why are you here today? If you have something to say, just say it. ”

When Lao Zhao heard Mrs. Wang say this, the sad look on his face disappeared immediately, and he said to Mrs. Wang diligently: "Mrs., eldest lady, I am here to report the good news to your family!" ”

Lao Zhao's words confused Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter, and Shuzhen asked: "Our Wang family is in trouble, why should we be happy?" ”

Lao Zhao said to Mrs. Wang with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Mrs. Wang! You're going to be a grandma. ”

"What? I'm going to be a grandmother, where is that? Madame Wang was puzzled.

Lao Zhao said seriously: "Madam, you really want to be a grandmother." My family Gui Fang is happy, the child in her womb is the blood of your Wang family. ”

When Lao Zhao said this, it was like a thunderbolt above Mrs. Wang's head. Mrs. Wang let out an "ah" in surprise, she suddenly felt the blood gushing upwards and her eyes were dazzled, and Lao Zhao in front of her turned into a vague shadow, she felt that she had heard it wrong, and she asked Lao Zhao to say it again.

Lao Zhao said loudly again: "My family Guifang is happy, the child in her womb is Hongxing's seed, and she has been pregnant for more than two months." ”

After listening to Lao Zhao's words, Mrs. Wang slumped on the chair and muttered vigorously: "Impossible, impossible!" You're being framed! ”

"Phew! You are talking nonsense! What does your daughter's big belly have to do with our Wang family, do you want to slander people? Shuzhen was furious, she stood up and pointed outside the house and said, "Get out of here for me right away!" Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Lao Zhao said without hurry: "Miss, don't worry, our Lao Zhao is not the kind of villain you said!" Besides, it's not up to you to decide whether this matter is true or not. He turned around and clapped his hands twice outside, saying, "If you're listening outside, please come in." ”

As soon as Lao Zhao's words fell, Wang Hongxing walked in from the outside slowly with his head down, he didn't go to work today, and was waiting for Lao Zhao to propose marriage at home.

Lao Zhao pulled Wang Hongxing to Mrs. Wang and said, "Madam, let him tell you about this matter." ”

Mrs. Wang looked at her son eagerly and asked, "Hongxing, what's going on?" Hurry up and make it clear to your mother! ”

"Mom, what Lao Zhao said is true, Gui Fang and I have a child." Wang Hongxing said timidly.

Mrs. Wang still asked Wang Hongxing with some disbelief: "Hongxing, this is not a nonsense that you and Lao Zhao co-authored, right?" You want to get money again, don't you? ”

When Mrs. Wang asked, Wang Hongxing felt that he was very wronged, and he said unhappily: "Who wants to cheat money!" Gui Fang is really pregnant! ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang slapped her thigh angrily, pointed at Wang Hongxing and scolded: "Bastard! You uncompetitive child, I expected that something would happen to you, a womanizer, sooner or later. Get! You let the Zhao family trap it this time, I'll see how you untie it. ”

"Mom, I really like Gui Fang, and she is willing to marry me. If you want to say that I was trapped by them, I did it voluntarily. Mom, you will fulfill me and Gui Fang! Wang Hongxing begged his mother.

"Don't you know what kind of humanity their Zhao family is? Your father and I persuaded you not to provoke Gui Fang, just because we were afraid that you would be deceived. Now you can do things yourself, even if you don't have parents and don't have this home! ”

When Mrs. Wang said this, Lao Zhao next to her didn't like to listen to it, and he said, "Madam, how are you talking?" What's wrong with the humanity of our Zhao family? Our ordinary people are much better than the humanity of you exploiting classes! ”

Shuzhen took Lao Zhao's words and said: "Lao Zhao, let me ask you, since our Wang family is an exploiting class, then you don't want to marry our family!" We're two people! ”

The sharp-toothed old Zhao asked Shuzhen rhetorically: "Now that the party and the government advocate the freedom of marriage and love, do you think we can destroy this policy?" Lao Zhao stopped Shuzhen and Mrs. Wang. Lao Zhao said to Wang Hongxing, who was standing with his head hanging on the side: "Child, it's useless for us to quarrel, it's up to you to take the big idea of marrying Guifang or not!" But you have to remember: our Guifang can't be ruined by you! ”

Wang Hongxing nodded at Lao Zhao, and then he mustered up the courage to say to Mrs. Wang and Shuzhen: "Mom, sister, no matter how you object, anyway, I am the master of my marriage, and I must marry Gui Fang home." I swore to Gui Fang about this matter, none of you can stop me! ”

Lao Zhao gave Wang Hongxing a thumbs up and said, "By the way, Hongxing, you look like a gentleman today!" ”

Mrs. Wang angrily patted the table and questioned her son, "Your father is not at home, so you took the opportunity to blackmail me, didn't you?" I advise you to die of this heart, if you prefer to go all the way to the dark, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a son! ”

Wang Hongxing muttered unhappily: "Mom, why are you so ruthless? Gui Fang is a good woman, and she will definitely be a good daughter-in-law who is filial to her elders when she enters our house in the future. ”

"I just can't say no! Look at you, can't it be the other way around? Mrs. Wang turned her face away and ignored Wang Hongxing.

Shuzhen saw that her younger brother looked like she didn't eat oil and salt, so she said mysteriously: "Silly brother, I have learned that I can look at the face of the eight characters, let's not talk about the good or bad nature of this Gui Fang, she has a melon seed face, a pointed nose, thin lips, this kind of face, a woman with a small heart and eyes, is not a prosperous husband." If you want to marry her, she will only ruin your wealth, but will not bring you good luck. If you don't listen to your sister, you will suffer in the future! ”

"Sister, you used to praise Gui Fang for being beautiful, why did you talk about superstition today? I don't believe that. "Wang Hongxing this time is Wang Ba's heart is iron-hearted, if it is not Gui Fang, he will not marry, and he will not listen to a word of his family.

At this time, Mrs. Wang, who was angry and annoyed, wanted to persuade her son again in private, she said to Lao Zhao: "You go, it is our own business who Hongxing marries and who does not marry, I don't want you to mix blindly!" ”

Lao Zhao stiffened his neck and said, "Madam, why are you bombarding me away?" My girl's belly was enlarged by your son, why is it your family's own business, doesn't it have anything to do with my family? You have to hear clearly: your home is a well-known family of poetry, books and etiquette, and your wife is a great and kind person known to everyone in the neighborhood. Your son-in-law made other people's daughter's belly bigger and didn't admit it, and he was going to kick her, aren't you afraid that this matter will ruin the good reputation that your family has accumulated over the years? ”

Mrs. Wang's face became hot all of a sudden, and she hurriedly said, "Lao Zhao, stop me!" Why are you talking so ugly? ”

"Madam, you think I speak ugly, you should discipline your son well, don't let him do things that are immoral!" Lao Zhao choked Mrs. Wang speechless with a word, she felt that she was indeed at a loss.

Lao Zhao said reluctantly: "Do you think that Hongxing married Gui Fang, your Wang family suffered a big loss, but who did we Gui Fang complain to for their grievances?" She is still a big girl with yellow flowers, your family doesn't want her to be a daughter-in-law, so who will she marry with an unknown child in the future? Our Gui Fang will not be ruined for the rest of his life! After Lao Zhao finished speaking, he squeezed out a few sad tears.

Shuzhen, who was still snorting angrily just now, softened her heart when she heard Lao Zhao say this, but she comforted Lao Zhao. She let Lao Zhao, who had been standing and talking, sit down on a chair, and Shuzhen said: "Lao Zhao, don't worry, let's talk slowly, I am a woman who has been ruined by men, how can I watch such a beautiful girl as Gui Fang be ruined for the rest of her life!" ”

Shuzhen personally served Lao Zhao a cup of tea to persuade him to dissipate his anger, and then she walked up to her mother and whispered a few words, and Mrs. Wang nodded again and again.

Shuzhen said to Lao Zhao with a smile on her face: "Lao Zhao, I have an idea to end this matter, Gui Fang is just over two months pregnant, the fetus has not grown up, I want to find a good doctor to remove the child from her belly, do you say?" ”

"What's this bad idea? Let my girl suffer, you don't touch the bag, how can this be! Lao Zhao was anxious when he heard it.

Gui Fang hurriedly interrupted Lao Zhao's words and said, "Don't worry, listen to me." In order to protect Gui Fang's reputation, this matter was done quietly to prevent outsiders from knowing. After the incident, our Wang family gave Gui Fang a compensation fee, and I will help Gui Fang find a good family in the future, and I will give her some dowry when she gets married. I think I'm worthy of Gui Fang in doing this, and neither of us will owe anyone anything in the future. ”

Before Lao Zhao could speak, Wang Hongxing stopped doing it first, and he shouted to Shuzhen unhappily: "Sister, what is your good idea?" I want my child, I want Guifang! I don't want you to get involved in my own business! ”

Shuzhen was so angry that she pointed at Wang Hongxing and scolded: "I'm really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs!" You foolish brother, you don't even know that others have sold you, and you still help others count the money! ”

Wang Hongxing shouted: "I just don't let you take care of my business!" ”

Mrs. Wang slapped the table and scolded Wang Hongxing sharply: "You bastard, what kind of ecstasy soup did that Gui Fang pour you and make you swoon?" You're an unworthy woman, and you can't turn back nine cows. Your father is both civil and military, and your brother is smart and strong, why did the Wang family make you a fool and a wreck? You have lost the face of our Wang family, I tell you clearly today, you can marry Gui Fang, and we can't stop you, but you have to cut off relations with this family from now on, and you can no longer step into the family! ”

Wang Hongxing saw that his mother was angry and wanted to drive him out, so he lowered his head in fear but still kept muttering.

Lao Zhao sat steadily, he tasted fragrant tea, he saw that the Wang family no longer quarreled, so he put down the teacup and said to the Wang family's mother and daughter: "Actually, I have always hated you rich people in my heart, because I feel that you think that if you have money, you can do whatever you want, and if you have money, you can be arrogant." As soon as Shuzhen said this just now, I looked down on you even more! My girl's belly was enlarged by your Hongxing, you think you can settle it with money, you think that your daughter is the kiln sister in the kiln, and you will leave after giving some money and lifting your pants. Let me tell you, our Gui Fang is a woman from a good family, and she can't let your rich son waste it in vain! If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will go to the government and sue Hongxing for hooliganism for playing with women! Even if you accuse him of rape, it's not impossible! ”

Lao Zhao's threat not only scared Mrs. Wang and Shuzhen, but also really scared Wang Hongxing. He hurriedly said to Lao Zhao: "Lao Zhao, you have to be kind, Gui Fang and I are what you and I want, don't do things badly, okay?" ”

Lao Zhao saw the nervous appearance of the mother and daughter of the Wang family, so he further said in a threatening tone: "The old son of the Wang family was arrested as a traitor, and now the son is about to be charged with a hooligan, I think your Wang family's qi is about to be exhausted!" ”

Mrs. Wang, who was frightened, hurriedly changed her tough attitude and said soft words to Lao Zhao: "Lao Zhao, don't mess around!" You have been in our Wang family for more than ten years, and my lord and I have always treated you well, although it has been a little unhappy recently, but there is still an old relationship! We can discuss this matter calmly, there is no need to be so stiff. Our Hongxing is an ignorant child, please let him go for my sake! ”

Shuzhen was also busy compensating Lao Zhao: "Lao Zhao, my family is responsible for this matter, I will compensate you and Gui Fang first!" It's all because we usually don't discipline Hongxing strictly that he caused this humiliating thing. After all, marriage is a big deal, can you please give us a few days for our family to discuss this matter? ”

Lao Zhao became arrogant at this time, and he said in a tough tone: "Okay, for the sake of our many years of communication, I will let you take a step forward today, whether Hongxing marries Gui Fang as a daughter-in-law, you have to think about it." I'll give you three days to think about it, but I'm going to say ugly things in my head, if your reply doesn't satisfy me and Gui Fang after three days, I'll go to the government and sue you!" At that time, don't blame me for Lao Zhao's lack of friendship! I warn you: to oppose children's marital autonomy is to oppose the government! "Lao Zhao's big hat frightened the Wang family.

The two women of the Wang family together couldn't fight the treacherous and cunning Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao pointed at the nose of the once high-ranking master and reprimanded them fiercely, and made them surrender without much effort. He remembered the appearance of the Wang family's mother and daughter begging him in a low voice, and felt that the anger that had been nested in his heart for many years was finally vented, he was very proud, humming a little song in his mouth and shaking his arms and taking a figure-eight step on the street. At this time, it was already three poles of the sun, and his stomach was a little hungry, so he found a tavern and went in, asked for two taels of wine, ordered a few snacks, and drank deliciously.
