Chapter 897: Forced Marriage
Xu Caiyun was sad and helpless when a carriage stopped. An old man got out of the car, he looked at Caiyun and the unconscious Xu Yuanwai, and asked, "Miss, who are you?"
"It's my daddy. ”
"He's not very sick, don't cry, go to the doctor for treatment." ”
"I ...... I don't have any money, and I can't carry it, how can I go to the doctor?"
"Alas, it's really hard for you to be a woman, so let's take your father to the doctor, and I'll pay for it. Hurry up, I'm afraid something will happen if we delay any longer. He instructed his family to carry Xu Yuanwai to the car, and hurried into the village with Xu Caiyun.
After treatment, Xu Yuanwai finally came to his senses, but he still had no strength and could not move.
Xu Caiyun was very grateful to this kind-hearted person and thanked him repeatedly. During the conversation, she learned that this person's surname was Yuan, and he lived in this village and was a well-known wealthy family.
This old man Yuan took the father and daughter of the Xu family home, and while treating Xu Yuanwai's condition, he took care of the father and daughter's food, clothing, and daily life.
The father and daughter of the Xu family are served every day, which is very convenient, just like returning to their own home, and they are very grateful to the Yuan family. In a foreign place where they are not familiar with their lives, the father and daughter are very fortunate to have met such a kind person.
After more than ten days of treatment and recuperation, Xu Yuanwai's condition finally recovered, and the father and daughter gradually improved.
In the past few days, Xu Yuanwai and Master Yuan have been very speculative and have become good friends. Caiyun and the daughters of the Yuan family are also very close.
When Xu Yuanwai was about to say goodbye, Master Yuan suddenly proposed to marry him and wanted to marry Caiyun as his daughter-in-law.
Mr. and Mrs. Yuan have three daughters, all of whom are married, and only one son has not yet started a family.
Xu Caiyun has reached the age to be married, and Xu Yuanwai is also anxious about her marriage. He told his daughter about the marriage, Xu Caiyun was very shy, did not refuse, and let his father call the shots.
Xu Yuan looked at Caiyun as a pearl in his palm, and he wanted to make decisions for her, but also to make her satisfied, so he proposed to let the two children meet each other, have an understanding of each other, and then decide.
Master Yuan thought about it, and then went to the back house to discuss.
Xu Yuanwai and Caiyun sat in the living room and waited, happily talking about this family business. The father and daughter felt that the two families were right, and the Yuan family was also very good, and it was rare to be able to marry with such a family. The father and daughter were happy in their hearts, the Yuan family was so active, it seemed that this matter could be done.
After a while, the old couple Yuan returned to the living room with a young man, needless to say, this was the son of the Yuan family. Yuan Gongzi's face is relatively handsome, his figure is also very strong, and he is well dressed, which adds a bit of charm.
Xu Yuanwai looked at Yuan Gongzi and was happy in his heart, with the solidity of the Yuan family and the physical appearance of the son, he was very right, if he could become an in-law, it would be a beautiful thing.
He turned his head to look at his daughter, Caiyun was looking at Yuan Gongzi shyly, with joy on his face, and he was very satisfied knowing it. Xu Yuanwai was full of smiles and secretly happy, it seems that this family business can be decided.
Master Yuan asked his son to meet Xu Yuanwai.
Yuan Gongzi looked at the staff and smiled, and then said, "You are an old man, I don't play with you." ”
Master Yuan frowned, and asked him to greet Caiyun again.
Caiyun hurriedly got up and saluted, and said with a blushing face: "The little woman has seen Yuan Gongzi. ”
Yuan Gongzi looked at Caiyun, still grinning, and then shook it
head, said, "You're a girl, and I won't play with you." ”
The father and daughter of the Xu family moved in their hearts, had doubts, looked at Yuan Gongzi and felt puzzled, and it seemed that something was wrong when they listened to the words.
Mr. and Mrs. Yuan were very embarrassed, and after saying a few words to their son, they asked him to sit down.
Master Yuan smiled, very unnatural: "My son is a little playful, he is still a child, and he is also a good child." ”
"Yes, yes, Childe is indeed good. Xu Yuanwai responded politely, and looked at Yuan Gongzi thoughtfully, puzzled.
Xu Caiyun was also at a loss, and Fang Cai's good mood was cast a faint shadow.
Xu Yuanwai wanted to talk to Yuan Gongzi for a few words, so as to understand the truth, but Gongzi ignored it, and always answered on behalf of Master Yuan. He was even more puzzled, and his questions increased.
Master Yuan said: "Brother, the two children are good, our two families are right, let's settle this family business." ”
Xu Yuanwai's doubts were not dispelled, and he didn't know how to answer, so he was stumped for a while.
Suddenly, a flower cat ran by.
Yuan Gongzi was overjoyed when he saw it, and got up to chase after him, waving and shouting: "Sister, don't run, wait for my brother, my brother doesn't play with them, he wants to play with you." He ignored the people in the house and hurried to chase the cat.
The old couple of the Yuan family looked at their son's back, frowned, and sighed silently.
The father and daughter of the Xu family also frowned, it seems that Yuan Gongzi is indeed a little abnormal, and this marriage has to be abandoned.
Master Yuan urged: "Brother, after Caiyun passes through the door, we will not treat her badly, the Yuan family has a lot of business, and it will be their husband and wife in the future." ”
Xu Yuanwai looked at his daughter, Caiyun lowered his head, and his face was unhappy and sad. He sighed lightly and said, "Brother Yuan, our father and daughter have come and gone in a hurry, and we have no time to take care of this kind of thing, so we have to go back and discuss it with the lowly, and talk about it later." ”
Master Yuan was anxious: "Brother is the head of the family, and the marriage should be decided by you, and my brother and sister will not disagree." Besides, this is a good thing, let the two of them get married as soon as possible, and then go on the road together, there will be no mistakes. ”
Xu Yuanwai smiled awkwardly, and suddenly made an excuse in desperation: "Brother Yuan, I won't tell you, I took my daughter on a blind date this time, because I had already promised the other party, and it was hard to shirk, so I had to go to the appointment." If this does not work, I will come back and discuss it with you. ”
Master Yuan knew that he was refusing, and he was a little dissatisfied: "If you have an idea, you might as well say it directly, why bother to detour, it seems that you think my family is not rich enough." ”
Xu Yuanwai hurriedly explained, "No, no, to be honest, Brother Yuan's family business is far better than mine, and he has no such intention. ”
"That's to have an opinion about my child. ”
"No, no, your son...... It's okay for your son. He didn't praise other people's children, so he could only deal with them duplicitously.
Master Yuan had already guessed the intentions of the father and daughter, and sighed: "Let's tell the truth, my child is not very smart, and he is indeed a good child. ”
Xu Yuanwai sighed in his heart: "It's just that it's okay to say that he's stupid and unreasonable, how can I agree?" Such words couldn't be spoken, so he had to push, "Brother Yuan said the same, but we still have to focus on credibility, let's go to the appointment as soon as possible, and then disturb my brother when we come back." ”
"Come back? If you want to come back, you won't leave in a hurry. "Yuan
The lord was a little dissatisfied.
Xu Yuanwai was apologetic and showed a bitter smile: "Thanks to my brother's help this time, I have solved the difficulty of my father and daughter, and I will definitely visit when I come back." ”
Master Yuan looked at him without speaking, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this point, Xu Yuanwai didn't want to stay here longer, and said: "I have caused a lot of trouble to my brother and sister-in-law for many days, and my father and daughter are deeply grateful! The schedule is relatively tight, so we will set off here, and I hope that my brother can borrow some silver taels and return them when he returns." ”
Master Yuan was angry and snorted: "Your father and daughter are really ignorant, and they are unreasonable. I did my best to save you, solve your problems, and take care of you in all aspects, and it is really chilling that I ended up with such a result. You will cheat me out of my money, and I will not give it to you again. ”
Xu Yuanwai felt even more embarrassed, and was a little unhappy about such a stigma, but the Yuan family was a benefactor after all, so it was not easy to show dissatisfaction, and sighed secretly.
He said: "My father and daughter are very grateful to you, and they have never deceived their benefactors, and although they have broken up temporarily, they will not forget your kindness. Thank you for your care over the past few days, and I will definitely come to thank you in the future, and say goodbye!" he and his daughter stood up.
"Slow," Master Yuan got up with an angry face, "You are bent on leaving, and I can't force you to stay, feel free." These days, I have used more than 20 taels of silver for your treatment, and I don't want any small amounts, but after giving me 20 taels of silver, I will send you on your journey. ”
Xu Yuanwai was deeply surprised, he didn't expect Master Yuan to be so coerced, and he was a little embarrassed: "Brother Yuan knows, I am penniless now, how can I get it? ”
Master Yuan sneered: "Then you can't blame me, if you can't pay it back, just stay here." ”
"This ...... How can my brother treat me like this, isn't this persecuting my father and daughter, I hope to understand and care more. Xu Yuanwai was anxious and helpless.
Master Yuan was very angry: "Your father and daughter treat me like this, I can only treat you like this, you can't blame me." He looked at Caiyun and said, "I'll also make it clear, if you can't repay the silver taels, let Caiyun be my daughter-in-law, it's good for both of us." ”
When Xu Yuanwai heard this, he was surprised and angry, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Yuan, you are not difficult for a strong man, how can you be like this, think twice." ”
Master Yuan became even more angry when he heard this: "What if you don't do this, who let you owe money and not pay it back, I have no choice but to do it." Master Yuan said, "Since you are dissatisfied with me, there is nothing to talk about, let me make it clearer, if you don't have the money to pay off today, don't delay this family business, and marry the two children tonight." ”
The two families are becoming more and more dissatisfied, their words are getting tougher and tougher, and they have reached a state of hostility, and there is no way to alleviate it.
Xu Yuanwai was very angry and helpless, arguing with him, but the Yuan family ignored it.
He looked at the crying Caiyun and felt even more heartache, but he was penniless, and he could only watch his daughter being forced to marry. He didn't have the slightest way to stay here, and after comforting Caiyun, he left the Yuan family and tried his best to get the silver taels.
The streets are full of people, shops are busy, vendors are shouting, and vehicles are coming and going.
Xu Yuanwai thought hard that there was no way out, and sighed in a hurry, it seemed that he was really going to be forced to get married.
