In June, rain is always a nuisance.

Xue Zhaodi frowned and looked at the drizzle outside, and her mother-in-law's cough was in her ears.

"Zhao Di, the rain hasn't stopped yet......"

The mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, was only in her early fifties, but her white hair was spread all over her head, her eyes were worn out because she was doing embroidery work when she was young, and her cloudy pupils looked at the roof blankly.

"Mother, don't stop, Dr. Zhang is on the way, I'll look for him, you lie down well." After Xue Zhaodi finished speaking, she hurriedly rushed out in her robe, still holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, closed the door and looked for the route of Dr. Zhang's every visit.

Mrs. Zhao's illness is old, and she will get sick every year in the summer, this doctor Zhang is Langzhong in the county, and he will come to see Mrs. Zhao at this time.

Xue Zhaodi waited for noon, and when she saw that no one came, she was afraid that she would not be able to come if it was raining on the road, so she settled her mother-in-law and came out to find Dr. Zhang by herself.

The roads outside this village are all dirt roads, muddy and slippery, even a native like Zhao Di has to walk carefully, this road is slower, and when I find Dr. Zhang, it is already after two teas.

finally took Dr. Zhang back to his home, Xue Zhaodi was busy entertaining Dr. Zhang again, serving water and pouring tea for a while, and holding a pen and paper for Dr. Zhang to write a prescription.

Doctor Zhang looked at the look of appreciation in Zhao Di's eyes, he remembered something and asked Zhao Di: "Your daughter-in-law is fourteen this year, and she is also a big lady." ”

Xue Zhaodi held the recipe in her hand and blew it carefully, and when she heard the question, she nodded obediently and said, "I just passed my birthday yesterday." ”

Doctor Zhang nodded, then paused and looked Zhao Di up and down for a while before he spoke: "By the way, the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, I can't go back to the county seat this day, can you help me find a place to live?"

Zhao Di looked outside the house, the sky was gloomy and terrifying, and the rainstorm couldn't be finished for a while, so she nodded, went out to find other homes to see if there was any vacant room that could rest again. Zhao Di's own mother-in-law is with her, and it is inconvenient for a foreign man to live in her own house, so she can only find another place to live.

As soon as Zhao Di left, Dr. Zhang poured a sip of tea, and then looked at Mrs. Zhao.

"Old lady...... Zhang has something to ask for. Doctor Zhang got up and gave Mrs. Zhao a serious look.

Zhao Laitai was surprised: "What does it take you so much trouble for, you are kind to my old Zhao family, and I look up to you every year for medical treatment, don't do this salute, torture the old body!"

Mrs. Zhao got up half of her body and wanted to pull up Dr. Zhang, but she couldn't move for a while because of the pain.

"To tell you the truth, Zhang wanted to ask for a daughter-in-law for his unsuccessful son this time, and it was no one else who asked to marry, it was ...... It was your daughter-in-law who recruited Di. Dr. Zhang closed his eyes and said loudly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao didn't know how to reply for a while, and she was stunned.

Zhao Di is the child daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and this matter is known not only to the people of Liuxiang Village, but also to those who often come to Liuxiang Village, not to mention frequent visitors like Dr. Zhang.

Although she is a child daughter-in-law, she has just become a courtesy to the Zhao family brothers who are holding a rooster a few years ago, and she is barely the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family.

didn't really become husband and wife with Mrs. Zhao's son because the boy of the old Zhao family was taken by the passing immortals at a glance and was accepted as an apprentice......

However, although this was true, but the only person present at the time was Mrs. Zhao, no matter how she told outsiders about her son's immortal fate, those villagers unanimously believed that she was crazy because she lost her son.

In fact, even Mrs. Zhao felt that she was not a demon, and also, if her son really became an immortal, why didn't she come back to see her mother after so many years?

For so many years, from being considered a madman by the whole village, to regaining her strength and relying on Zhao Di for her life, Mrs. Zhao is too bitter, but what is even more bitter is Zhao Di.

When Zhao Di was eleven years old, according to the customs of the village, Mrs. Zhao asked the children of her brother's family to marry Zhao Di with a rooster, and Zhao Di became her daughter-in-law clearly.

However, the people in the village understand that this trick is afraid that she will be lonely for the rest of her life, marrying a man who has no whereabouts, this is not a widow, and many people pointed at Mrs. Zhao's spine behind her back and scolded her for being inhumane.

At that time, Mrs. Zhao was in good health, but there was no one around, so she thought that she could have a daughter-in-law by her side and a companion, and Zhao Di herself was also willing to marry another person, and maybe her son would come back in a few years?

But as I get older, my body is not as good as before. There is no news about his son, Zhao Di is the age of flowers, and it is inevitable that no one else will think about it.

There are not a few old bachelors and wealthy families in the county who come to Mrs. Zhao to say goodbye, and give her the title deed of the property, and promise her to provide for the elderly......

However, Mrs. Zhao didn't agree, and these people really couldn't get on the stage. Either marry Zhao Di for her color, or marry Zhao Di so that you don't have to pay a bride price.

After all, Mrs. Zhao raised Zhao Di little by little, and after so many years, she regarded Zhao Di as her own daughter in her heart, but now she found that she was selfish at that time, but she harmed Zhao Di.

And today, Dr. Zhang brought up this topic again, and Mrs. Zhao hesitated.

The son of this doctor is also a doctor in the county, and he heard that his ability is not low, and he was admitted to the imperial hospital a few years ago, and he fell to Sun Shan with a name difference. Although it failed, this reputation was made in the county.

Think about it, that's to be a doctor for the emperor Lao'er, and many of the people competing are famous in Xinglin, and they can lose the election here by one place, which shows the ability of this Zhang family's boy.

It stands to reason that when the Zhang family boy comes back, life should be good, who would have expected that his career would go up, but there have been several ups and downs in marriage.

First of all, he decided on the concubine of the Liu family in the county, but he didn't expect the concubine to run away with the guy and die under the mouth of the mountain beast......

Then the only daughter of Fang Xiucai's family was decided, but I didn't expect that Fang Xiucai's daughter was weak, and she died of a cold in the spring.

came and went, and Dr. Zhang inexplicably took the name of his wife, and his husband selection plummeted from the dream of the ladies in the past.

Dr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao have known each other for a long time, and they have also seen Xue Zhaodi, and they asked themselves that Xue Zhaodi was handsome, and she didn't look like a delicate person, so she had the idea of asking for marriage.

Actually, it stands to reason that this family affair is no better for Zhao Di. The Zhang family is willing to pay a bride price, and the person who marries is a capable person, and the saying of the wife is evil, but those who know the truth know that it is just an exaggeration between the market.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhao, who has never let go, hesitated this time.

"I have to ask Zhao Di about this, as long as she has no opinion, I have no opinion. In fact, Mrs. Zhao was fighting in her heart to persuade Zhao Di, seeing that her son had no hope, Zhao Di, who was finally raised by her side, wanted to point her to a good family, and went back into the underworld.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao's words came out, most of the stones in Dr. Zhang's heart fell.

"Then you will ask Zhao Di tonight, I will wait for your letter tomorrow, if you answer, I will prepare a dowry immediately!"

Mrs. Zhao nodded, and after Dr. Zhang left, she took out a cloth tiger hat hidden under her pillow and sighed softly: "Where did you go, you unlucky?"

On the other side, Xue Zhaodi walked to the village chief's house next door when she left Zhao's house, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Li Shan, the second son of the village chief, working in the yard.

When Zhao Di heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook herself, she likes others to call her the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. Whenever others called her that, she felt that she was closer to the Zhao family.

"Dr. Zhang from the county is here, it's raining heavily, I want to find a place to stay, I want to ask Uncle Li's family if there is any time, I will pay the honorarium. "Every year, Dr. Zhang's visit to the doctor is not all smooth sailing, and there are also heavy rains and strong winds, in previous years, Zhao Di borrowed the empty house of the village chief's house, and this year, when he encountered this, his first thought was to come to the village chief's house.

Li Shan smiled when he heard this, and then said heartily: "Zhao family's daughter-in-law, you wait, it should be no problem, no outsiders have come these days, I'll ask my father." After speaking, he welcomed Zhao Di into the house first, and then turned his head to look for Li Bo in the house.

Zhao Di was embarrassed to enter the back room, so she waited under the eaves outside, she knew that her identity was special, and she was afraid that other families would misunderstand, so she stood outside the house and waited for news.

The door was open, and the view inside was unobstructed. A young woman came out of the inner room with something in her hand, and when she saw Zhao Di standing outside the house, her eyes gradually became unkind.

Knock –

The young woman slammed the bowl on the table, turned her head and went into the back room, and then Zhao Di faintly heard the voice.

"Why is she here!...... I knew you must not be dead to her, you conscienceless. ”

"What are you talking nonsense...... People are here to find empty houses......"

"Breaking down the family, deserving to be a widow, and not worrying about getting married, who do you seduce every day......?

"You're ......"

The sound of quarrels in the back room intermittently penetrated Zhao Di's ears, and she lowered her eyelids and couldn't see her face clearly.

After a while, Li Shan came out, with the angry red on his face that had just been quarreled, and when he saw Zhao Di, he smiled awkwardly: "Why didn't the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family come in to sit, but the house is chaotic, it's right if you don't come in...... Ah, my father agreed to the house, so let's call Dr. Zhang tonight. ”

Zhao Di glanced at Li Shan, and then quickly lowered her head and responded in a low voice: "Okay, thank you, Brother Li." ”

Li Shan saw her like this, knowing that she had listened to it, and sent her out of guilt, but stopped Zhao Di at the door.

"Sister Zhaodi, listen to my brother, find a good family to marry, don't wait for the Zhao family boy......" After speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to say this, and then hurriedly turned around and went back to the house.

He left Zhao Di with an umbrella and stood alone in the rain.
