Chapter 10: The Truth
When they went to the village chief Chen Zhihong's house, they explained their intentions to the village chief, and the village chief habitually touched his beard and said, "I have heard a little bit about this Jia Yuan, it is not easy to get along, and he himself is fifty-six years old, why did your mother tell him about Erya?" ”
"Fifty-six? That's not ...... "bigger than my mother...... Chen Dashan couldn't believe it.
"I also heard that when I went to the county government office before, I heard that he invited the county magistrate to his fiftieth birthday banquet, and it was six years since then, isn't it fifty-six?" Village Chief Chen said after recalling.
"Does he have a wife? Grandpa the village chief. Chen Xiaoxiao asked.
"I don't know about this, you have to go to the town to inquire, and I will also hear people say that, so tomorrow you take my eldest grandson's ox cart to the town, find someone to inquire, and I will let Huatang wait for you at the entrance of the village." Village Chief Chen shook his head, he only remembered this, he was not from the town in the first place, and he didn't know anything about it at all.
"Thank you, village chief and grandfather, we will be there early tomorrow morning." Chen Xiaoxiao said gratefully, the Li family is simply inferior to a pig and a dog, so resistant to her, people say that tigers don't eat children, she is her own granddaughter, no matter how eccentric, you can't marry her to an old man in his fifties, right?
"Excuse me, I, Xiaoxiao and I will go back first." Chen Dashan stood up and ran, he wanted to ask his mother why he did this to him.
Isn't he her son? How could she be so ruthless.
"Dad, you wait for me!" Chen Xiaoxiao chased out.
Chen Dashan seemed to have lost his soul, staggered and ran, didn't see the dirt pit in front of him, stepped on the air, and fell directly to the ground.
"Daddy!" Chen Xiaoxiao screamed.
She ran up, helped Chen Dashan up, and said, "Dad, are you okay?" ”
Chen Dashan suddenly hugged Chen Xiaoxiao and burst into tears, "Erya, Dad is sorry for you, Dad is useless!" O God! ”
Chen Xiaoxiao hurriedly covered his mouth and helped him dry his eyes, her heart also hurt, but she couldn't do this now, she said anxiously, "Dad, calm down, don't cry, let's go to the town tomorrow to inquire, don't make trouble now, grandma knows, Dad, stop it, don't shout." ”
He snorted angrily, and someone had already poked their heads out of his house to see, now was not the time to be sad.
Chen Dashan's whole body trembled, and with the support of his daughter, he tried to stand up, he went back to the village chief's house, took a hoe, and said to Chen Xiaoxiao, "Let's go, go home with my father." ”
"Well, don't be sad, Dad." Chen Xiaoxiao was afraid that something would happen to her father, so she silently followed him.
Chen Dashan shook his head, how could he not be sad, he had respected his mother all his life, and he wanted to give his daughter to a fifty-six-year-old man as his wife, what a ridiculous joke.
For the eight taels of silver, for the eight taels of silver.
Chen Xiaoxiao has always been worried about Chen Dashan, afraid that he will not be able to help it, how could he think that his father would greet Chen Dajiang when he entered the door, it looked normal, and he went to the room after saying hello.
She was guarding the door, Chen Dashan didn't move at all after entering, and after waiting for a long time, she heard Chen Dashan's forbearance cry, and her tears suddenly came down.
She covered her mouth, for fear of being heard, two lives, the Li family is the Li family after all, there is no half love, this is the case in the previous life, and it is the same in this life.
She cried for fate, and even more for her father's grievances, no matter what Chen Dashan did, the Li family was not satisfied, she only had Chen Dajiang and Chen Dahe in her eyes.
Later, Chen Xiaoxiao fell asleep at the door, tears were still hanging on her face, Chen Dashan gently opened the door, picked up Chen Xiaoxiao, put her on the bed, gently covered the quilt for her, and left.
The next day, before dawn, the two went to the entrance of the village, Chen Huatang was waiting at the entrance of the village early, saw them coming, and hurriedly beckoned.
"Huatang nephew, it's hard work, I'll drive, you and Erya sit and rest for a while." Chen Dashan took the bullwhip and asked Chen Huatang and Chen Xiaoxiao to sit together.
Chen Huatang was also not polite, and sat with Chen Xiaoxiao.
The three of them hurried slowly, and it took an hour before they arrived in the town, and when they arrived in the town, they separated, Chen Dashan took Chen Xiaoxiao and asked all the way, only to know where Jiafu was.
They came to a stall selling breakfast, sat down, and Chen Xiaoxiao asked, "Little brother, how much is a bowl of chaos?" ”
"Guest officer, a bowl of three cents, two bowls?" The shopkeeper greeted warmly.
"Well, two bowls." Chen Xiaoxiao said.
Chen Dashan stared at the gate of Jiafu, which was closed at this time, and he couldn't enter.
"Hey, little brother, do you know Jia Yuanwai?" Chen Dashan stared at him nervously.
"Jia Yuanwai? Very familiar, this Jia Yuan, is really blessed, this is more than fifty years old, and finally survived until the original match is gone, this can let go of hands and feet, just in the past half a month, have carried several seventeen or eighteen-year-old concubines into the door, I heard that ah, I also want to straighten out the original Aunt Liu in the house. The shopkeeper brought Chaos over, looked at the two of them, and said, "What? You two also want to enter Jiafu? Listen to my advice, don't go! ”
Chen Dashan's chest rose and fell, and he was so angry that he was about to smoke, he suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "You just want to enter Jiafu!" Get lost! ”
Startled the shopkeeper, he scolded directly, "If you don't go, you won't go, why do you slap the table, you want to enter or not, who do you think you are?" ”
"Little brother, don't be angry, my father just thinks it's too ridiculous, he didn't mean to be angry at you, I'm sorry." Chen Xiaoxiao was afraid that they would quarrel, so she had to apologize.
The shopkeeper ignored her, and he went to get busy.
After eating the chaos, Chen Xiaoxiao paid the money, Chen Dashan went around alone again, and Chen Xiaoxiao waited for him.
After a long time, Chen Dashan came back with a gloomy face, and the two went to the city gate together, got on an ox cart, and went home.
Chen Huatang knew the purpose of their coming, and he asked Chen Xiaoxiao with concern, "That, Erya, what's the situation?" ”
Chen Xiaoxiao frowned, sighed and said, "It's worse than what the village chief's grandfather said, I'm going to finish, my grandmother is going to push me into the fire." ”
"What's the matter, what should I do, Uncle Dashan, you won't agree, will you?" Chen Huatang pinned his hopes on Chen Dashan.
"No, it won't." Chen Dashan drove the carriage and said resolutely.
"Great, Erya, you are saved." Chen Huatang said happily to Chen Xiaoxiao.
"Hmm." Chen Xiaoxiao said, "Thank you." ”
Chen Huatang scratched his head embarrassedly, "No thanks, I didn't help." ”
Chen Xiaoxiao didn't speak again, and the car fell silent.
Chen Huatang looked at Chen Xiaoxiao's good-looking side face, and felt a little itchy in her heart, she was very good-looking, her small face with a big palm was a little yellow, and she was also a little thinner, small and exquisite.
He actually likes Erya very much, she seems to be weak, but she is stronger than anyone else, he thought, if the Li family really wants to give Erya to Jia Yuanwai, what should it be?
No, he went back to convince his grandfather to help her get an explanation.
