"Son, listen to me." Zheng Wancai had a hurdle in his heart, and he never crossed it.

At the beginning, when Mr. Cheng was protecting his son, he did not fully express it clearly, and so far, Zheng Guangzong still thinks that he and Murong Ling have a marriage contract.

"Dad, you don't need to say it, I know you said it in detail, the road is far away, but my sons are older, and my son still wants to go to the capital to see the world, and he will take the exam before next year!"

Zheng Guangzong didn't give his father a chance to speak, he had to hurry out of the city, otherwise the city gate would be closed, and he would have to wait until tomorrow morning if he wanted to get out of the city.

"Go ahead and be safe." Zheng Wancai is not good at what to say, his son is very capable.

Zheng Guangzong hurriedly went out, rode a fast horse, and galloped out of the city.

In Huaili County, in a remote street not far from Zishi Street, the Zhang family finally sent their dead son to be buried outside the city.

Among them, thanks to the help of neighbors and a few family members left by Zheng Guangzong, the funeral went relatively smoothly.

When night falls, people go to empty houses, and it is extremely lonely.

Zhang Li and his mother-in-law faced the empty house, looking at each other, and they were in tears.

Zhang Li was originally the daughter of a large family in the countryside, named Li Wan, who was born with a physique and a gentle and touching body.

Because the family is well-off, Li's father also specially invited Mr. Li Wan to teach Li Wan to read and write, play the piano and paint.

Why, two years ago, there was a fire, and more than ten houses of the Li family, large and small, were turned into ashes overnight, and Li Wan survived by luck, but became an orphan.

At this time, there were still several well-known local bullies who still wanted to tease Li Wan.

Li Wan saw through life and wanted to die.

Just when Li Wan was about to commit suicide, she was seen by the father and son of the Zhang family who went out of the city to buy goods, and they rescued her.

The Zhang family did a little business in Huaili County, mainly rural mountain goods.

Although it is not rich and expensive, it will not lack food and clothing, and will not starve and freeze.

In this way, Li Wan went to the Zhang family and married the son of the Zhang family.

The young couple are affectionate, the two men in the family go out to shout for business during the day, and the two women take care of the housework at home.

A year ago, the old father of the Zhang family was killed by bullies.

The son complained everywhere but had no way out, and was finally seriously injured.

The Zhang family exhausted all their savings and failed to save their son's life.

The old days are no longer there, and the love is lingering in the blink of an eye.

Li Wan cried softly, she originally had a good family background, who would have expected to fall into such a situation?

"Son, don't cry, if you cry again, my mother's heart will break." Zhang's mother has empty eyes, and in a year, she has lost two relatives, no matter what, she can't accept it.

"Mother, what should we do in the future?" Li Wan raised her head, tears like beads with broken threads.

"Son, you are still young, after a while, my mother will find you a family, and my mother doesn't want your life to be ruined like this." Zhang's mother's heart was like a knife, but she was comforting her daughter-in-law.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law will not go anywhere, I will be with you in this life, and I will support you for the rest of your life." Li Wan knelt down in front of Zhang's mother.

"Silly boy, what if my mother dies!" Mother Zhang smiled bitterly with tears.

Outside, the sound of broken footsteps sounded.

Mother Zhang and Li Wan looked over, quickly stood up, and greeted them: "Mother Wang, are you here?" ”

Wang Ma, the neighbor of the Zhang family, is also a widow, but she opened a teahouse, although the income is not very good, but it is much better than ordinary people.

"Zhang's family, don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to think about it, and Wan'er is still so young, and she can't be depressed from now on."

Wang Ma's words are reasonable, but they are heartfelt.

"Mother Wang, why don't you think so about the old body, but ......"

Zhang's mother said that her son had just died, so she was in a hurry to push her son outside, which would make the neighbors think of it.

"The Zhang family, this step will be taken sooner or later, as the so-called long pain is better than short pain, there was just a moment when people fell in love with Wan'er, and this Wan'er married in the past,

Soon it will be my aunt's wife, and then you will not have to worry about food and clothing, and you will always enjoy a lot of blessings. "I didn't expect that this Wang Ma is really a matchmaker.

"Mother Wang, tell me, whose family is it?" Zhang's mother was so excited that she grabbed Wang's mother's hand, and her eyes were shining.

Mother Zhang was so anxious, in fact, she had already had the idea of seeking death.

Helplessly, she couldn't rest assured that her daughter-in-law could not be relieved, so she had to endure humiliation and live with a heavy burden.

"Mother, no matter whose family it is, the daughter-in-law is unwilling to marry her, and the daughter-in-law will always be with you." Li Wan seemed to see that Wang Ma had no good intentions.

"Wan'er, it's not up to you to have the final say now, you have to think about your mother, in the future, you two will drink by drinking the northwest wind!" Wang Ma's face sank.

However, she was also telling the truth.

"Mother Wang, tell me, whose family it is." Zhang's mother was determined to find a good family for her daughter-in-law, and then went with her wife and son.

"I'll tell you the truth, that family is going to come to the dowry, he is the famous Zhao family of Huaili County, the Zhao family Qianzhuang, famous all over the world......"

Wang's mother chattered endlessly, looking excited.

Li Wan interrupted Wang Ma's words: "Wang Ma, even if the little girl goes to be a sister-in-law, she will never marry again in this life." ”

"Wan'er, this is not something you said you can calculate, do you know that when the old Zhang Tou had no capital to do business, how much silver did he borrow from the Zhang family?"

Wang Ma's face suddenly sank, like a pig's liver.

"You go, you go." Li Wan cried and pushed Wang Ma outside.

Wang Ma kept complaining while retreating: "You, you treat the old body like this, you will regret it." ”

After Li Wan waited for Wang's mother to leave, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged their heads and cried again.

The two of them didn't cry for long, and there was another rush of footsteps outside the house.

At the door, several men stood.

Among them, a middle-aged man walked into the house with a calm face: "Sister-in-law Zhang, don't come unharmed!" ”

After looking at the accounts, he was frightened: "Money shopkeeper, you, why are you here?" ”

"Sister-in-law Zhang, Brother Zhang took a lot of silver in his hands as the capital back then, but he was just a long-term worker of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was forced to collect debts in the future.

I also know that it's not good to be in debt now, but there is no way, so I ask Sister-in-law Zhang to be considerate of my troubles. "This person is Qian Mangong, the shopkeeper of Zhao Ji Qian Village.

"The old slave man, I haven't told the old slave either!" Zhang's mother was stunned for a while.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, if you don't take it, you will take out the contract in the next meeting, and you will speak at the lower owner's house, either pay back the money or hand over the house,

Or, let this little woman go to Zhao's house as a maid to pay off her debts. Qian Manguan looked at Li Wan, who was hiding her face and crying, and just sneered.
