Chapter 161: The World Is Cold
It is said that after Zhou Zixiang saw her mother-in-law stunned by her, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared, followed by guilt, feeling that she shouldn't say such a heavy thing out of anger, and kept blaming herself for being too ruthless. In fact, she has always been so kind.
Zhou Zixiang once saw that Lang Medicine treated people who fainted in the middle of the pinch, so she also learned from others to pinch her mother-in-law for a while. Sure enough, my mother-in-law soon woke up.
Zhou Zixiang, who saw her mother-in-law wake up, was overjoyed, and said to the sky with her hands folded: "Thank God, I finally let my mother-in-law wake up." Heaven really won't kill all the good people. In this way, I am also worthy of my husband, and I can help him take good care of his mother. ”
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law who woke up didn't even look at Zhou Zixiang, as if it was a person made of wood. didn't say a word to Zhou Zixiang, and didn't expect her to be grateful to Zhou Zixiang. She just cried and walked up to Liu Dachai's spirit card with a handful of snot and tears, "My son." Usually people say that if they don't listen to the old man, they will suffer in front of them. You said that our mother and son were living well, why did you want to marry a daughter-in-law. I told you not to want this woman, but you didn't listen, and now you actually put your life into it. Soon she'll kill me too. ”
Zhou Zixiang saw that her mother-in-law still couldn't understand her, and she didn't want to say more. Anyway, it's tears to say anything. She said to her mother-in-law, "Don't think so much, let's eat first." After saying that, I wanted to take the bowl and serve the rice.
The mother-in-law said to Zhou Zixiang: "I didn't cook your meal. If you're so good with other men, can't you go to eat with people who are good with you? ”
Zhou Zixiang sighed and had to go to Lao Wang's house. Because she knew that staying at home would only make her mother-in-law unhappy, and besides, there was really nothing to eat at home.
After Zhou Zixiang came to Lao Wang's house, she saw that Lao Wang was cooking in the dark, which made people with a conscience feel pitiful when they saw it. Zhou Zixiang hurriedly stepped forward to help. After cooking the meal, Lao Wang asked Zhou Zixiang to stay here to eat. Because Lao Wang's feeling was very accurate, he guessed that Zhou Zixiang hadn't eaten yet.
At the dining table, Lao Wang and Zhou Zixiang chatted while eating. Lao Wang said to Zhou Zixiang: "I know that you are a good boy, well-behaved and filial. I don't usually move around, but I can feel it. That old woman in your family is not good, she is scathing, she will only blindly ask others, and she doesn't know how to distinguish between good and bad. My son was kind enough to treat her son, and he ended up with such an ending. It's so sad and pathetic. ”
Zhou Zixiang said to Lao Wang: "My mother-in-law is indeed a little confused, and I ask my uncle to bear with me." ”
Lao Wang said to Zhou Zixiang: "It's not a question of inclusion or inclusion. Her son is a life, isn't my son a life? She has wronged my son like this, will her conscience be at ease? It's a shame that we're usually so good to her, and we've always been responsive. ”
Zhou Zixiang said to Lao Wang: "This is indeed the case. Our family owes you so much. ”
Lao Wang said to Zhou Zixiang: "Our two families originally didn't owe anything, as long as we can get justice for my son, I will be satisfied." ”
Zhou Zixiang asked Lao Wang: "So how can I get justice for Ling Lang?" ”
Lao Wang said to Zhou Zixiang: "Only by continuing to sue above can my son's grievances be cleared." I don't believe it, and I can't meet a Qing official until I sue the court. It's a pity that I'm old and disabled, otherwise I would have gone to the state capital myself. ”
Zhou Zixiang said: "Uncle, your words really woke up the person in the dream." I also believe that Wang Zhong is innocent. Wait until I get to the state capital. Without further ado, I'll leave now. ”
Lao Wang praised Zhou Zixiang's behavior very much, thinking that she not only had a conscience but also did not let her eyebrows go. After telling her to be careful, he sent her out, and gave her the little money he had left, so that she could be used as a coil on the road.
Wang Zhong was sentenced to death, and the person who was happy to die was naturally Zhao Youde. He threw a feast and invited the county magistrate and a group of pig friends and dog friends to eat and drink.
After eating, Wu Dan smiled and said to Zhao Youde: "Congratulations to the son, both people and wealth." Now that Zhou Zixiang has no husband, and Wang Zhong is in prison again, who else can she marry besides marrying you. I'm afraid that she will throw herself into her arms. ”
After listening to Wu Dan's words, Zhao Youde immediately laughed with him, leaning back and laughing. After Zhao Youde laughed for a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, so he suddenly stopped laughing, but stared at Wu Dan with a frown, so that Wu Dan, who was laughing, didn't dare to laugh, and it hurt a little. Because usually when he says the wrong thing, Zhao Youde will really make his egg hurt.
Who knew that Zhao Youde actually asked Wu Dan like this: "You said that people and wealth are both gained, so where does this wealth come from?" ”
After Wu Dan panicked, he said to Zhao Youde with a smile: "Isn't Wang Zhong about to be beheaded, his father is so old, and many things can't be seen clearly, will he be far from death?" Maybe he lost his breath when he was angry in the past. At that time, his family's property will be yours. Even if it's seniority, it's your turn. ”
Zhao Youde and Wu Dan hugged each other excitedly and laughed together. They think that the world is for them to roam around, and that it is a spring breeze.
The next day. Zhao Youde and Wu Danchun proudly walked into Liu Dachai's house with many gifts. At this time, the firewood girl was trying to go out to buy vegetables.
Zhao Youde said politely to the chai niang: "Hello, auntie." First of all, please accept my sincerest greetings. ”
Dachai Niang looked Zhao Youde up and down for a while, and still felt very raw, so she asked Zhao Youde who he was?
In fact, Zhao Youde's attention was no longer on Chai Niang's body, but peeping at Zhou Zixiang's figure everywhere. I couldn't see Zhou Zixiang, so Zhao Youde replied to the firewood lady and said: "I am a friend of Liu Dachai, and I used to buy his firewood." I haven't seen him sell firewood recently, and I found out that he had passed away after inquiring. I'm deeply saddened. So I came over to burn him incense. ”
Although she is very old, she has never seen much of the world. Just saw Zhao Youde wearing very particular clothes, he thought that Zhao Youde was a very virtuous person, so he believed Zhao Youde's words, and complained to Zhao Youde that her Liu Dachai died so miserably. And I would like to express my gratitude to Zhao Youde for his sincere condolences.
Zhao Youde is also unwilling to be a person who listens to the bitter water of Chai Niang. He went straight to the destination and asked where Zhou Zixiang was? When she asked this, she suddenly yelled at Zhao Youde in a rage, "Don't mention that shameless slut." ”
Zhao Youde was taken aback, but he still had the cheekiness to ask again and again where Zhou Zixiang, the firewood girl, went? The firewood lady pointed to the old Wang's house angrily. So, Zhao Youde and Wu Dan ran towards Lao Wang's house like two very obedient dogs.
The first thing Zhao Youde said after seeing Lao Wang was to ask about Zhou Zixiang's whereabouts. Lao Wang lied to him because he didn't have a good impression of Zhao Youde, and he said that he didn't know. Then Zhao Youde smiled and said to Lao Wang: "Your son is really not angry, how can he poison someone's husband for a woman." I can't imagine that he is so vicious on weekdays. ”
Lao Wang was so angry that he scolded Zhao Youde loudly and asked him to get out of here. Zhao Youde also wanted to say a few more words to anger Lao Wang, but he was driven away by the nearby villagers. Because everyone didn't believe that Wang Zhong would kill people, and they couldn't get used to Zhao Youde bullying an old man. So Zhao Youde had no choice but to leave in disgrace.
