Chapter 175: Marriage
"Mei Xiang, how can you find a short view? You're still so young, what's there to figure out? ”
Zhuang Su jumped into the river to rescue Mei Xuexiang.
Although Zhuang Su fights guerrillas in the mountains all the year round, Qingshui River is also a good place for him to fish and catch shrimp, so his water nature is very good, and it is easy to save Mei Xuexiang ashore.
"Brother Su, I will never go to the Mei family, and I have no other place to go, what if you say I don't jump into the river?"
"Would you like to go to our Clear Water Bay? It's just a little too poor. ”
"Brother Su, if you don't say a poor word, I won't go. You said you were too poor, I wanted to go with you! ”
In this way, Mei Xuexiang followed Zhuang Su to Qingshuiwan Village.
"Mei Xiang, thank you for serving my daughter for so many years, Qingshuiwan Village will be your home in the future, and you will be my daughter."
Patriarch Lin was grateful to Mei Xuexiang and wanted to accept Mei Xiang as a righteous daughter.
"Patriarch, it should be Mei Xiang who thanks you for your kindness, I have a request, I wonder if you can agree?"
"Please speak first."
"Patriarch, Mei Xiang is my maid's name, since you recognize me as a daughter, can I be surnamed Lin in the future?"
"This is natural, I'm very happy, the Lin family has another virtuous woman!"
Patriarch Lin immediately added the name Lin Meixiang to the family tree.
"Congratulations to the patriarch, you have the strange woman of the happy sister, and now you have the virtuous woman of Meixiang, the strange and virtuous are all over, congratulations!"
"Zhuang Su, you are not too young, you should be married. I think Mei Xiang is good, how about you two choose a date to get married? ”
"Patriarch, this ......"
"Zhuang Su, originally you and Sister Xi were a match made in heaven, and I can rest assured that I will entrust Sister Xi to you. But she is like this, you don't have to worry about it, and she is not suitable to live with you. Mei Xiang is your fate, and you will definitely be able to live a good life with affection and love. ”
"Patriarch, I don't know if Mei Xiang is willing?"
"Brother Su, please accept Mei Xiang's kneeling and worshipping your life-saving grace first, Mei Xiang is willing to entrust Brother Su for life."
Mei Xuexiang came out of the back room and kowtowed to Zhuang Su to get married.
When Mei Xuexiang was at home, in addition to listening to Mr. Mei's praise of Lin Xizhen, Zhuang Su also listened to the old man's talk the most. She had a good impression of Zhuang Su for a long time, and when she was in the family mansion, Zhuang Su came in many times to rescue Lin Xizhen by pretending to be a farmer delivering vegetables. Now Zhuang Su saved her from Shuihe again, and he was even more fond of him.
After Zhuang Su got married, he went to Shuizhou to visit Mr. Mei.
"That girl won't come to see me?"
"Mei Xiang said, she, she ......"
"Zhuang Su, how did you become a mother-in-law? Something to say! ”
"Mei Xiang said that she doesn't need you to take her in, she will not step into the Mei family half a step in her life."
"Oh, my daughter, you're going to kill daddy!"
Mr. May put his hands on his chest and almost fell from his chair to the ground.
"Daughter? Father? Mr. May, what's going on? ”
"Zhuang Su, the matter has come to this, I will tell you the truth."
Mr. Mei told Zhuang Su in detail how he said the wrong thing, how Mei Xuexiang pretended to be a maid and entered the house, etc.
"Mr. Mei, I really don't know that Mei Xiang is the eldest lady, if I knew that she was the eldest lady, I wouldn't dare to bring her to Qingshuiwan Village and marry her if I had a hundred guts."
Zhuang Su hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to make amends.
"Zhuang Su, you get up. I should thank you for bringing Cher to Clearwater Bay and for marrying her. ”
Mr. Mei helped Zhuang Su up.
"Mr. Mei, what do you mean by that?"
"Zhuang Su, from now on you should call me Dad. Cher's mother died shortly after giving birth to her younger brother, and she helped me with household chores and took care of my two younger brothers from an early age. But for some reason, since I met Xi Meizi, I have always compared her with Xi Meizi, which inevitably hurts her heart. If you hadn't taken her to Clear Water Bay, she would have killed herself in another way if she didn't throw herself into the river. It is her blessing that she can take Clear Water Bay as her home, and it is her best destination to marry you, and I can worry about it in my heart! ”
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xue'er in this life!"
"Zhuang Su, I am naturally relieved of this, I am convinced of your personality. But I have a request, don't say that you have seen me after you go back, and don't mention Ming Xue'er's life experience, you still treat her as a companion embroiderer. ”
"Dad, why do you want to do this?"
"I know Xue'er's personality, and only when she recovers herself will she recognize me as a father again, and she will step into the Mei family's courtyard. Otherwise, she will also do extreme behavior. ”
"Dad, the son-in-law understands that the son-in-law must keep it a secret, and one day Xue'er will come to her senses and bring her to pay homage to you."
"Alas, who told me to break her heart all the time? I owe it to her! ”
"Dad, don't be too sad, Xue'er is a good girl, she will return to the Mei family's courtyard one day and come back to you."
"I guess I can't wait for that day!"
Mr. Mei burst into tears.
Although Zhuang Su often knocked on the side and hinted that Mei Xuexiang would go to Shuizhou together, go to the Mei family's courtyard to sit down, and meet Mr. Mei, Mei Xuexiang resolutely did not go out of Qingshui Bay and did not go to Shuizhou.
In his twilight years, Mr. Mei donated all the clinics in Shuizhou to the state, and sold the pharmacy and other assets, leaving only the Mei family's small courtyard.
On this day, Mr. Mei came to the dilapidated house where Lin Xizhen lived.
"Who are you looking for, old man?"
Yu Dayou stopped Mr. Mei.
"You're a kid from the Yu family, right? I'm looking for your mother. ”
"What are you doing with my mother, you bad old man?"
"I'm naturally looking for her."
"I won't let you look for it!"
"Why?"
"You don't look good!"
"Why am I not a good person?"
"Rich old men are not good people, they always want to take advantage of my mother!"
"Hehe, you kid still know how to protect your mother?"
"I'm not protecting my mother, I'm afraid that she will bring me a bigger bad name."
"What do you mean by that?"
"People here say that my mother is a bad woman and Yu Deshui's concubine, and I hate her!"
"Yu Deshui is your father, how can you call him by his name? Also, your mother worked hard to bring you up, you should be grateful to her, how can you hate her? ”
"Why do you talk so much nonsense, you bad old man? Why did she give birth to me? Why did she want to be the devil's concubine? I don't have any friends, they don't play with me! ”
"Then you should study hard, have self-esteem and self-improvement, and protect your mother when you grow up."
"I protect her? I wish she were dead now! ”
"Alas, the mother in the world who has a son who curses himself like this? Aren't you afraid of retribution for thunder and thunder? ”
"Retribution? If she suffers, she will suffer! Bad old man, why don't you get out of here? What are you talking about? It's not your turn to teach you a lesson! ”
Yu Dayou picked up a wooden stick next to the door to beat Mr. Mei.
"Stop!"
Lin Xizhen came out of the house.
"You said stop, I'll stop? I'm going to beat this bad old man to death! ”
Yu Dayou didn't listen to Lin Xizhen's words, and the wooden stick in his hand smashed towards Mr. Mei.
"I'll let you fight!"
Mr. Mei stretched out his hand, grabbed the wooden stick, and hit Yu Dayou's ass twice.
"Ahh Neighbors, grandparents, uncles, and aunts, this adulterer and adulteress are going to beat me to death, so come out and judge me! ”
"What's going on?"
"How is Mr. May?"
"Mr. Mei, what's going on?"
Neighbors gathered around to see the excitement.
Everyone looks down on Lin Xizhen, but they have a lot of respect for Mr. Mei, and every family has been taken care of by Mr. Mei to a greater or lesser extent.
"Everyone, Xi Meizi is my goddaughter, thank you for taking care of her, from today she will move to live in our Mei family's small courtyard."
Mr. Mei announced the decision in front of his neighbors.
"Mr. Mei, I will never move into the Mei family's courtyard."
"Xi sister, our Mei family is going to withdraw from Shuizhou, I ask you to help me take care of the courtyard, is it okay?"
