Chapter 31, Harmony and Departure

"Daughter-in-law, are you really going to Zhou's house in Xiahe Village tomorrow?" When he was about to rest in the evening, Shen Jinqian lay on his side on the bed and looked at Liu Bicao who was undressing his hair.

Liu Bicao finished untying her hair before returning to the bed, and lay down next to Shen Jinqian: "Well, Qingzhu is not a way to go on like this, besides, the Zhou family is like this...... I don't want the rest of Qingzhu's life to be ruined at the hands of such a person. ”

Shen Jinqian held Liu Bicao's waist with one hand, touched her soft hair with the other, and spoke for a while: "Then tomorrow, I will accompany you to Zhou's house." ”

Xiahe Village is not far from Shanghe Village, which is only four or five miles away. Liu Bicao got up early, cleaned up the work at home, and finished the family's morning meal, and before the sun came out, the two rushed to Xiahe Village.

Not long after, the two arrived at Xiahe Village, but Liu Bicao had never been to Zhou's house, and she didn't know where Zhou's family was in the village. It also happened that at this time, people came out to work in the fields, and it was easy to inquire.

asked a lady who resisted the hoe, the lady was a warm-hearted person, and took the two of them directly to the door of Zhou's house.

After thanking the eldest lady, Shen Jinqian knocked on the wooden door.

"It's coming, it's coming." Someone in the yard immediately answered, and then footsteps were heard. After a while, the door opened from the inside, "Who's coming?" ”

Liu Bicao knew that the woman who opened the door was Zhou Cheng's mother, who had met her several times.

"It's Sister Qingzhu and brother-in-law who are here!" Mother Zhou hurriedly invited the two of them in: "Why didn't Qingzhu come back with you?" ”

Liu Bicao paused: "Auntie laughed at this, auntie thinks we are sending Qingzhu back?" ”

Mother Zhou smiled: "Look at what you said, Qingzhu is the daughter-in-law of my Zhou family, and even if she dies, she is also the ghost of my Zhou family." Isn't it time to come back after being away from home? How can a daughter-in-law who has become a relative run back to her parents' house to live, isn't this gossiping. ”

"Doesn't my aunt know why Qingzhu went back to her parents' house? Or does my aunt think that my sister should be wronged unnecessarily in your Zhou family? Auntie, no matter how bad this is, Qingzhu still has my sister and her brother-in-law to support you. ”

"Ouch, which daughter-in-law of this marriage is not a little wronged? Besides, how can these two people live without stumbling, don't you say? If you are wronged and run to your mother's house, you can't live this day? Besides, Qingzhu is not a big lady. ”

Liu Bicao looked at Zhou's mother coldly, she really didn't see it, it was very different from what she had seen a few times before. Obviously, Zhou Cheng hit people as soon as he drank, but it turned big in her mouth.

"Yes, there are stumbles when two people live together, but it's also stumbling to beat people to death after drinking?"

"This ...... Her sister, my Ah Cheng already knows that he is wrong, and he won't do it next time, my Ah Cheng will change it. Pity my family Ah Cheng finally married a daughter-in-law, and pity me, an orphan and widow. Zhou's mother cried as she spoke.

"Auntie, Zhou Cheng hasn't beaten Qingzhu once or twice, how can he change it."

"Ouch, old man, why are you so ruthless, leaving my orphans and widows behind, old man, open your eyes, old man." Zhou's mother simply sat on the ground, closed her eyes and cried in disregard.

Liu Bicao didn't care, anyway, she would lose the face of the Zhou family, and let Zhou's mother cry on the ground.

Seeing that Liu Bicao and the others ignored her, Zhou's mother got up by herself, wiped her tears, and looked at Liu Bicao viciously: "You poisonous woman, why do you not see others so well, and you want to break up others alive?" I know, is there someone outside Liu Qingzhu, greedy for wealth and wants to run away with others, and wants to leave my family Acheng? I'm telling you not to even think about it. ”

Liu Bicao was almost laughed at, she really reversed right and wrong. Zhou's mother's style made Liu Bicao even more determined to let the Zhou family agree and leave.

"Auntie, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense."

"We are here today to want your Zhou family and my family to be reconciled."

When Zhou's mother heard this, she immediately said "bah": "Impossible, you died of this heart." ”

Since Liu Qingzhu married into the Zhou family, he has been very diligent, and no one has to worry about the work at home, and he is also obedient. Zhou's mother was used to seeing her daughter-in-law enter the door and do it against her mother-in-law, so she wouldn't agree to anything.

It just so happened that Zhou Cheng came back at this time, and when he opened the door, he saw Liu Bicao and Shen Jinqian.

"Sister, brother-in-law, why are you here? Is Qingzhu back? ”

"Ah Cheng, you're back, if you don't come back, your daughter-in-law will be gone." Zhou's mother hurriedly grabbed Zhou Cheng's sleeve and dragged him over.

"What do you mean, what's wrong mother?" Zhou Cheng looked puzzled.

"Hmph, it's her, let you and Liu Qingzhu reconcile." Mother Zhou pointed to the willow grass.

"Sister, don't go too far, you let Qingzhu come and tell me, why let us reconcile." When Zhou Cheng heard that he wanted him to leave, he shook off Zhou's mother's hand and wanted to walk in front of Liu Bicao angrily, but was stopped by Shen Jinqian.

Liu Bicao frowned: "Let Qingzhu come?" Will she be beaten by you again? ”

Zhou Cheng clenched his fists and stared at Liu Bicao: "Let me tell you, she married into my Zhou family and is a member of my Zhou family, and it is not your turn to point fingers." ”

"Zhou Cheng, Liu Qingzhu is my sister, why can't it be my turn to point fingers? Even if it makes trouble for the yamen, it must be reconciled. ”

"Yamen? I want to see that the people of the yamen take care of other people's household affairs. Liu Qingzhu is my Zhou family, even if she kills her yamen, she can't control it. Zhou Cheng casually smashed the bowl of drinking water on the table in the yard, "No one can care how I discipline my daughter-in-law." You go back and tell Liu Qingzhu to let her get back for me by herself. Otherwise, there is a good end for her. ”

"What's the end?" Shen Jinqian, who had not spoken, looked at Zhou Cheng with a cold face, and protected Liu Bicao behind him with both hands.

Zhou Cheng looked at Shen Jinqian angrily, and scolded: "Mind your, Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law and Lao Tzu are in your way, what's the matter, why are you protecting her so much?" Zhou Cheng looked at Shen Jinqian with a sneer, "Could it be that this brother-in-law and sister-in-law have lived under the same roof for a long time and have lived out of feelings?" ”

When Liu Bicao heard this, she immediately became angry: "What nonsense are you talking about." ”

"What, I said yes?"

Looking at Shen Jinqian's face so cold that he could drip water, Zhou Cheng didn't dare to speak, and closed his mouth unwillingly.

"Either you write and leave by yourself, or we will go to the yamen to find an adult to judge and leave, you can choose one yourself" Shen Jinqian looked straight at Zhou Cheng.

"No...... No way...... and depart from you...... Don't even think about it, I won't be separated, I ...... I'm going to divorce her. Under Shen Jinqian's fierce eyes, Zhou Cheng couldn't speak clearly, and stammered.

"Zhou Cheng, twenty-one years old. At the age of twelve, his father went up the mountain to chop wood and fell down the mountain and died in the land of Lizheng's family, and his mother defrauded Lizheng's family of a large sum of money. Shen Jinqian said unhurriedly.

"You...... What do you mean, you nonsense I didn't. Zhou's mother was anxious when she heard this, although most of the people in the village went to work in the fields, but at this time, there were still many people outside the courtyard to watch the excitement.

As soon as Shen Jinqian's words came out, the lively people outside were talking about each other.

"I really didn't expect Aunt Zhou to be such a person."

"It's just that, you can't see half a point on weekdays."

"However, this young man is not from our village, who knows if what he said is true."

Shen Jinqian didn't care about Zhou's mother's stop and what the people outside the courtyard said, "At the age of fifteen, the gambling house in the town gambled all the belongings, and at the age of seventeen, I went to a green building in the town, and at the age of seventeen, I teased the girl in the town and entered the yamen and was locked up for more than two months, and then I ...... with the village."

"Enough is hidden, don't say it, how do you know, how do you know?" Zhou Cheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that these things that had been concealed would one day be known, and he said it.

"Yo, it seems to be true, I really can't see that Zhou Cheng is actually this kind of person."

"That's it, I really know my face and don't know my heart, fortunately, my niece didn't get married."

"Reconciliation or resignation?" Shen Jinqian asked directly, seeing that Zhou Cheng didn't speak, he continued, "Twenty years old, you ......?"

"Heli, I write Heli." Zhou Cheng didn't let Shen Jinqian continue, and said through gritted teeth.

Zhou Cheng had also read the book, so he borrowed a pen and paper from Lizheng, and wrote and left the book without hesitation and handed it to Liu Bicao.

Liu Bicao took it and looked at it two or three times, there was no problem, nodded to Shen Jinqian, and the two planned to go home.

"Wait, it took two taels of silver to marry Liu Qingzhu's slut, and you have to return the silver to me today." Zhou's mother broke the jar and broke it, anyway, the people outside also knew about those things, so they no longer cared about the problem of face.

Liu Bicao didn't want to have any extraneous branches, and she didn't want to have anything to do with the Zhou family, so fortunately, she brought silver with her when she went out.

gave all the three taels of silver that he brought on his body to Zhou's mother: "This is three taels of silver, from today onwards, your Zhou family and my sister Liu Qingzhu will have nothing to do with it." After speaking, he left with Shen Jinqian.

On the way back, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, how did Shen Jinqian know about Zhou Cheng's things, but those people didn't even know about their village.

Thinking like this, I also asked truthfully. Shen Jinqian was silent for a while before he said, "When you mentioned that Qingzhu was leaving, I asked someone to inquire carefully." ”

Liu Bicao didn't think much about it, happily held Shen Jinqian's arm, and didn't hide it at all: "Brother Jinqian, you are really amazing, thanks to you this time." ”

Seeing that she was no longer like the gloomy and bleak appearance of a few days ago, Shen Jinqian also curled the corners of his lips and followed her steps home.
