"Yuanzi, you go to the back to play first, I'll talk to your Aunt Zhang about something," Gui's wife turned to Yuanzi and said.

"Oh, okay" Yuanzi reluctantly left, although she was also curious, but she rarely disobeyed A-Niang's words, maybe because she thought her A-Niang's fierce appearance was terrible.

After a while, Widow Zhang came to the backyard, and she suddenly hugged Yuanzi and didn't say a word.

Yuanzi's eyes were black and she couldn't see anything, but the woman's soft body and the faint fragrance on her body made her feel a little relieved, and she also hugged Aunt Zhang, although she didn't know very well why Aunt Zhang suddenly wanted to hug her. She had an intuition that she felt that the problem must be her father's mother, but what was wrong, she couldn't figure it out if she wanted to break her head now.

After a while, Widow Zhang let go of Yuanzi, she looked at Yuanzi, and there was a strong reluctance and love in her eyes.

"Yuanzi, let me ask you a question, do you think the life of rich people is good?"

Yuanzi didn't understand what Aunt Zhang meant, so she still needed to ask such a simple question?

"Of course it's good," and then Yuanzi added uncertainly, "It should be good."

Widow Zhang smiled and said, "Does that lady want to go to the rich man's house to live?"

Yuanzi will be even more confused, go to the rich man's house? Aunt Zhang, don't you want me? Where are they going to send me again, I don't want to leave anymore, I like to be with Aunt Zhang, I don't like rich people, and I don't think rich people's families are good.

Yuanzi suddenly burst into tears, and she said aggrievedly: "Aunt Zhang, did I do something wrong?" Why don't you want Yuanzi, my father didn't want Yuanzi at the beginning, and now I don't even want you anymore, Yuanzi is really sad, is Yuanzi too ugly? Or where did Yuanzi make Aunt Zhang angry, Aunt Zhang, you said, I will change, I will change, please, please keep Yuanzi, Yuanzi wants to be with Aunt Zhang. ”

Yuanzi said one by one, and every one of her words slammed into Widow Zhang's heart, and it hurt more and more. Hearing the end, she also softened her heart a little, that is, what did Yuanzi do wrong, Yuanzi is so good, why do you treat her like this.

Widow Zhang gently touched Yuanzi's face, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Yuanzi is good, Yuanzi is the best, Yuanzi is not ugly, and she hasn't done anything wrong, and she hasn't made Aunt Zhang angry, Aunt Zhang also likes to be with Yuanzi, really"

Yuanzi looked at her suspiciously, as if to say that since you also like me, then why do you want me to go.

Widow Zhang couldn't stand Yuanzi's pitiful eyes, she turned back to Ah Gui and his wife who came to the backyard gate at some point and asked, "Is there really no room for recovery in the matter?" Yuanzi, she's only fourteen years old."

"We can't help it, who knows that what they say is good, but behind their backs it's a different set, now it's spread all over the village, we can't help it, and Yuanzi will be fifteen years old after the New Year"

Ah Gui's wife said with a little weakness, in fact, she didn't expect that these rich people had already said that those things were gadgets and didn't care, but they changed their minds in a blink of an eye. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to be on such a family, I already knew that I should have refused to be more decisive, although I lost the hope of climbing the high branches, but I don't have to be so passive as now, it's too late to say anything now.

Yuanzi didn't understand what they were talking about, what room for redemption, what was sent back, everything was spread all over, and what did it have to do with whether she was fourteen or fifteen? But no one paid attention to Yuanzi, and no one wanted to ask Yuanzi's opinion. The words of the parents' matchmaker are such a place that makes people unhappy.

"Then you didn't ask in person why this happened? Didn't they say it was different from what they said at the beginning? ”

Ah Gui also spoke: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, we actually came today to ask Master Zhang's family and ask why it is like this."

"What if they don't admit it?"

"Then there is no way, I have to grieve Yuanzi"

"Are you willing to do it?"

"Who can be willing to do it, but if this thing is not done well, it will make Yuanzi bear a name, then it will not be so easy for Yuanzi to find it when she wants to find it in the future, Yuanzi can't never grow up, and one day she will leave us." If you want to blame her, you can blame her for meeting such a father, and if you want to blame her, you can blame her for having a beautiful face."

"Bastard, can you blame her for this?"

Widow Zhang blurted out, but when she said it, she found that she had lost her temper. It's all said and done, no matter how much she tries to save it, it's useless, this is their child, that's Yuanzi's father.

It was Ah Gui who made Widow Zhang really lose her temper, how could he say such a thing, he was to blame Yuanzi, can you decide what you look like, are you happy if you look ugly? This is still the Ah Gui I knew at the beginning, no, I must have heard it wrong.

Ah Gui was not angry, but he was still happy in his heart. I am very happy that Aunt Zhang can protect Yuanzi like this, and I am very happy that Yuanzi can meet someone like Aunt Zhang. But he also had a hard time, and when he went home that day, someone kept saying congratulations to him along the way, and then he knew that someone had come to propose.

When I got home, I saw that the extra dowry was the best proof of this.

But at that time, my wife was still proud and said that pie fell from the sky, and we took so many good things for nothing. The angry Ah Gui almost couldn't help but slap him in the face, take it for nothing? There will be such a good thing in the world, you go out and listen, it is rumored everywhere that our family has taken other people's dowry, and Gui Yuan will be married off in the near future.

Now you say that you take it for nothing, say that you will discuss it with yourself, and discuss it with a fart.

But I can't really stop my wife because of this, she is the one who has lived with her for more than ten years, although she is a little stupid. So Ah Gui decided to be this wicked man, because only when he came to be a wicked man would he convince himself, and only after he became a wicked man would he be determined to let Yuanzi marry off, otherwise, he would not be willing to marry Yuanzi at all.

Of course, he didn't give up, and it was true to ask Master Zhang this time, so he specially hired a few people to bring the dowry as well, but he didn't make a noise, after all, the divorce is not good, although he never agreed.

Yuanzi still didn't understand what it meant, why did it have something to do with her beautiful face? Why did Aunt Zhang scold her father when she heard her beautiful face, she had been here for so long, and it was the first time she saw Aunt Zhang scolding, and she was so scared that she didn't know where to hide.

None of the four people in the courtyard spoke, some didn't know what to say, some felt it was useless, and some didn't know who to talk to.

Quiet, deathly quiet, as if to suffocate, as if there is nothing wrong with being quiet.

Ah Gui suddenly broke the silence and said: "It's not too early, we still have something to do, then Aunt Zhang, let's go first, Yuanzi, listen to Aunt Zhang, we'll be back in a while."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Widow Zhang and Yuanzi to answer, they took the lead in going out, Ah Gui's wife smiled at the two of them, and then followed Ah Gui, she couldn't say anything, because it would all be because of her, although she was really kind.

Yuanzi looked at her departing father, and for some reason she wanted to cry, it was an emotional rendering, and she felt that what they just said should be a sad story.

Widow Zhang didn't know when she came to Yuanzi's side, she squatted down and looked at Yuanzi as if she had never seen Yuanzi before, as if she wanted to carve every strand of Yuanzi's hair into her eyes.

"Yuanzi is really good-looking, especially Yuan's face is very beautiful. Remember, it's good to be pretty, it's not a sin to be pretty."

Being looked at and praised by Aunt Zhang like this, Yuanzi was a little shy, and she lowered her head slightly, although she was still a little unclear about Aunt Zhang's words.

Widow Zhang couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Yuanzi's appearance.

cheeks and new lily,

nasal greasy goose fat,

Gentle silence,

It's an amiable view.

Sure enough, the most beautiful scenery in the world is the shyness of women, go to his old man Zhang's son, a layman, who is not worthy of whom.

Later, the guests came slowly, and the two women, one big and one young, began to get busy again, and it was a good thing to be busy, at least he could make people forget their troubles and sorrows for a while, at least that's what Yuanzi thought when she saw these people dressed in colorful clothes.

The sun rose from the east to the top of the head, and slowly moved towards the west, and Yuanzi couldn't help but look at the door every once in a while, because her father had said that he would come back, and although today's father was a little strange, she still believed that her father would come again.

Yes, I believe that my father's words will count.

Finally, she saw her father and mother again, but this time she didn't run over and hug them desperately, maybe she thought today's father and mother were a little strange.

Ah Gui still smiled at Yuanzi, and then didn't bother Yuanzi. They came directly to Widow Zhang, and then Widow Zhang confessed that she asked Yuanzi to look at the shop and went to the backyard with Ah Gui.

Yuanzi nodded to indicate that she knew, although she also wanted to know what they were talking about, but after all, she still didn't go, she knew that they would definitely tell herself when it was time to speak, she knew that they must have something to say to herself.

"What did the people of the Zhang family say?"

Widow Zhang didn't say anything polite to Ah Gui and asked directly.

"Didn't say anything"

"Didn't say anything? What does that mean?"

Ah Gui sighed, shook his head and said, "We didn't see Master Zhang at all, and the gatekeeper said that Master Zhang was not here today and went to the city to do business." Later, we asked the chief steward if he was there, and he said that he had gone to the city with Master Zhang, and then we couldn't find anyone who was in charge, so we had to wait outside the door. Later, the janitor of the Zhang family came to tell us that there was no need to wait, and that this time it would take several days to come back, and he said that he would inform them when Master Zhang and the chief steward came back. People have said so, and we can't stay at the door of people's homes, so we have to come back first."

"How could it be so coincidental, could it be that the people of the Zhang family deliberately lied to you, in order to send you away?" Widow Zhang said with some suspicion, how many years of business, in addition to meeting good people like Ah Gui, she will also meet some bad people who are very thoughtful, she doesn't want to wronged a good person, but she doesn't dare not suspect some bad people.

"No, I think he said something like that, and he has no reason to lie to us, we're just here to ask about something, and by the way, I'm just returning something."

"Have you ever thought that maybe they just don't want you to have a chance to return things, you think, if you return the things, where will the face of the Zhang family go, this family business will add some variables, and only if you don't have the opportunity to explain it can you decide this family business. I just don't know if the Zhang family planned it from the beginning or made it temporary, if it was planned from the beginning, then there would be no chance at all."

"What if it's improvised?"

"Is there a difference? There is no chance, many times a thing does not depend on what the original intention was at the beginning, they just need the result to be as expected. What a Zhang family, a good steward, really calculating"

"Hey, poor Yuanzi"

"Hey, poor lady," Widow Zhang said.

"Hey, poor Yuanzi" Suddenly Ah Gui's wife also sighed, but she was immediately stared at by Ah Gui and Aunt Zhang, as if she was going to eat her, and she was so frightened that she immediately didn't dare to look at these two.
