Chapter 263: Melancholy

Xu Yuan asked with concern, "Gu Shi, are you not feeling well?" It's better to stay and rest, we'll be back as soon as we're done, and we won't keep you waiting. ”

"It's still raining outside, and there's mud all over the road, so it's not good to get your shoes dirty."

Gu Rao looked down at her shoes.

It's been dirty and thorough for a long time.

She could feel it, the inside of the shoes was wet.

Beno said, "She's bored to stay here alone, so let's go with us, it's not far from here anyway." ”

Xu Yuan immediately said, "I asked Zhang to chat with her, how could it be boring?" ”

Besano, "......"

"I'm not at ease with her being here alone."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Xu Yuan couldn't say anything more.

-

Xu Yuanyuan's husband is named Wu Jie, the fourth in the Wu family, with two older brothers and one sister above, and a younger brother below.

He is stuck in the middle of the house and is the most neglected person by his parents.

When a man is fourteen or fifteen years old, his family begins to tell them about his relatives, but he waits until he is eighteen years old for his parents to remember his relatives.

It was difficult to find a partner when he was old, so he didn't marry Xu Yuanyuan until he was twenty years old.

Maybe it's because the older ones will hurt people, Wu Jie is four years older than Xu Yuanyuan, and he has been holding her in the palm of his hand since he got married, and he doesn't let her do any rough work.

Xu Yuanyuan was unwilling to this family affair at first, and she didn't want to marry a man she had never met, not to mention, she already had a sweetheart.

If her sweetheart also has a heart for her, even if she is a concubine, she is willing.

It's a pity that her sweetheart only has his wife in his heart, and he doesn't even look at her, and he is estranged from her, so she agrees to the marriage arranged by her parents in a fit of anger.

Later, I found that I had no regrets, so I could only follow my parents' arrangement to marry a strange man.

Wu Jie is mediocre in appearance, only about 1.75 meters tall, on the day of marriage, Xu Yuanyuan regretted it at the first sight of the groom.

I couldn't breathe when I cried on my wedding night.

Wu Jie not only didn't blame her, but was also considerate and gentle, and kept all the delicious food and drink for her, and gradually, Xu Yuanyuan also relented.

She finally accepted this husband, and regained some sanity, knowing that if she didn't accept her fate again, and then continued to make trouble with her husband, she would really break up with her husband, and she would be the one who would have a hard time in the future.

After figuring it out, she gave him a response.

After their round house last month, the relationship between the husband and wife has reached a higher level.

Seeing Bie Ye again, Xu Yuanyuan felt like a world away.

There was a touch of melancholy in my heart.

Especially when I saw him standing with his husband, a head taller than his husband, and his face was handsome and extraordinary than his husband's ordinary face, the sense of disparity in my heart was even greater.

The unwillingness to disappear rose again.

The resentment against her mother from the bottom of her heart is even worse.

If my mother hadn't stopped her, she would have been the one who married another wilderness, and she wouldn't have been as sorry as she is now.

Although Wu Jie treats her well, the rest of the Wu family is not easy to get along with.

The mother-in-law can't get used to her not working, and always takes advantage of Wu Jie's absence to torture her, and the concubine also arranges a lot of unpleasant words behind her back, one in front of her and one behind her back.

Beye has no father, no mother, and no brothers and sisters, although there are fewer people to help him, but he doesn't have to deal with these troublesome interpersonal relationships.

Wu Jie noticed his wife's look at Beiye, frowned, blocked in front of his wife, turned back to her and said, "There are guests at home, you go and make them a cup of tea." ”

This is the first time he has taken the initiative to give his wife instructions.

Xu Yuanyuan was absent-minded and didn't care about these details.

"Okay."

Xu Yuan was nervous, didn't notice the subtle atmosphere just now, smiled and introduced Beiye and Gu Rao to Wu Jie, and said to Beiye, "You also saw Wu Jie last time, but he was too busy last time and didn't introduce you seriously." ”

Wu Jie smiled and said, "Don't stand, sit down and talk." ”

"Father-in-law, you don't need to introduce me to them, I know them, I have been to the casserole rice noodle shop they opened before, I have been there twice."

"Everything in their shop is delicious!"

"It's just that I still wanted to save money to marry a daughter-in-law at that time, and I was reluctant to spend too much money on food and drink."

As soon as Xu Yuanyuan came out with tea, he heard Wu Jie's words, and his heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, after marrying Wu Jie, Wu Jie handed over all the money to her.

Wu Jie went to the town to work as a small worker at the age of ten, so it has been 20 years, but his savings are less than five taels of silver.

The bride price money for marrying her was all saved by himself, and his in-laws didn't pay a penny, and after giving the bride price, there was only less than five taels of silver left.

What's the difference between this and marrying her own money?

Thinking of this, she couldn't get angry!

Originally, Wu Jie's heart gradually softened because of his gentleness and pettiness during this time, but at this moment, it hardened again, and the more he looked at him, the more unpleasant it became.

I can't even afford to spend money on food and drink, so why do I marry a daughter-in-law?

Let his daughter-in-law suffer with him?

If he had a little more money, he wouldn't have to beg people everywhere, and he could go to the town to do something business, which was better than doing a small job in the town.

It's not good to ask for anyone, but I asked for Gu Rao and Bei Ye!

Gu Rao must be laughing at her in her heart, right?

Xu Yuanyuan's aggressive eyes were too obvious, making it difficult for Gu Rao to ignore them, so her gaze swept over and met Xu Yuanyuan's eyes.

"You've been looking at me, is there anything you want to say to me?"

The men present stopped talking to each other after hearing Gu Rao's words, and looked at Gu Rao and Xu Yuanyuan.

Xu Yuanyuan's face froze.

"I saw that your hair seems to be a little wet, and I want to ask if you want to wipe it with a rag, but I was embarrassed to ask just now."

Gu Rao said politely, "No need, thank you." ”

Wu Jie continued to discuss the matter of renting a shop with Bieye.

"I don't have much savings at the moment, and I may not be able to give too much rent at once, can you give me a grace and pay the rent once a month?"

Beno said, "I'll ask my wife about this." ”

Gu Rao glared at Bei Ye and whispered, "This kind of trivial matter, you can take care of it yourself, you don't need to ask me, I don't have any opinion." ”

Beye snorted.

"Okay."

Then he said to Wu Jie, "My shop is in a good location, and you can rent it out at any time if you want, but Uncle Xu mentioned to me before that you want to do business in the town and want me to help you, and after my shop is vacated, the first thing that comes to mind is you." ”

"If the shop is rented out, if the tenant has been doing it for less than a month, or if it is not rented after a month, we have to find a new tenant, which is a bit troublesome."

Wu Jie hurriedly promised.

"Although it's just a small attempt, I won't give up so easily, at least half a year's rent, if you don't feel at ease, you can sign a contract with me."

"I pay rent once a month, if you don't rent it for less than half a year, you can go to the yamen to sue me and let me compensate for the liquidated damages."
