Chapter 154 Zaohua is going to marry Mr. Zheng
The villagers watching were amazed.
Widow Tong is really not someone you can mess with!
Tong Huaqiong walked along the village path with his trophies on his back, looking proud and confident.
What we want is the effect of being difficult to mess with.
She wanted to give Yan Pozi, Xu Kun, Xu Yong and others a headache. It would be best if they were as afraid of her as a mouse is of a cat.
Xu Si brought it upon himself.
She couldn't write off the money the Xu family owed her just because Xu Si was punished.
After Tong Huaqiong took the things and left, Mrs. Yan was carried back home crying and cursing. Xu Da went to invite a doctor for his mother.
It was a very hot day, and after lying in the car for a long time, Mrs. Yan felt very hungry.
"Go and bring me a bowl of water and a bowl of egg noodles. Don't forget to add some sesame oil." Mrs. Yan instructed Xu Da's wife, her niece, Xiao Yan.
Little Yan, with a gloomy face, brought a bowl of cold water and handed it to Mrs. Yan.
Old Lady Yan was in a bad mood and yelled, "My back is covered with wounds. How can you drink from the bowl by yourself? Why don't you feed me?"
Little Yan said coldly: "I can't serve you well, so let your youngest son feed you."
The family's silver and grain were given as compensation to Widow Tong, making the already poor family even worse off.
The eggs laid by the hens these days have also been cleaned up by Widow Tong.
Now her husband has to hire a doctor, but there is no extra money in the family to buy medicine.
Now with the Xu family's reputation, who would be willing to lend it to them?
Xiao Yan hated Tong Huaqiong's cruelty, and also hated her mother-in-law for indulging her brother-in-law and causing trouble.
"You bastard, you're so wronged when I asked you to bring me a bowl of water." When Mrs. Yan heard her eldest daughter-in-law mention Xu Si, she couldn't help but cry again and poured a bowl of water on her.
Little Yan was furious and said angrily, "Widow Tong is right. If you hadn't allowed your brother-in-law to cause trouble, would our family have ended up like this? You should have chopped off his roots the first time he messed with a girl in the village. It's better to be a eunuch than to die in Lingnan."
"I still want to eat egg noodles, and I want to eat eggs that I laid myself, but I don't have that ability."
Little Yan cried and cursed while packing her things to go back to her parents' home.
She doesn't want to serve her mother-in-law and aunt anymore.
Old Lady Yan fell backwards in anger. The wound on her back was even more painful when it was pulled, and she kept wailing.
......
After Xu Jin returned home, Yu couldn't wait to propose the marriage between Fan Xiucai and Xu Zaohua to her husband.
Of course, she didn't say that it was Tong Huaqiong who proposed it. She only said that she went to the town and heard Matchmaker Wang say that Mr. Fan from Bison Valley was planning to get married.
After hearing this, Xu Jin waved his hand and said, "I have already arranged Zaohua's marriage, so don't talk about that scholar Fan."
Yu thought that Xu Jin was unwilling to give up Gu Jingzhe and wanted to marry Tong Dajiao.
The objections were spoken out.
"That Tong Da Jiao is not a good person. I used to think she was unreasonable, but judging from the incident with Xu Si, she is more vicious than anyone else. How can such a vicious woman raise a good son? If our Zaohua really marries Gu Jingzhe, will she have a good life? Besides, Fan Xiucai is a scholar, and Gu Jingzhe is just a student. If you are not blind, they will definitely be selected as a son-in-law."
Xu Jin smiled and said, "What do you women know? Are Gu Jingzhe and Fan Xiucai the only men in the world? I valued Gu Jingzhe before because he was so outstanding in Qinghe Bay. Now I have set my sights on places outside Qinghe Bay and found that Gu Jingzhe is not doing well. I have found a good match for Zaohua in Pingchuan County these days. She can become the eldest lady and the housekeeper if she marries him."
Yu was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
After a long while, he asked happily, "What kind of family is it?"
Speaking of Pingchuan County, it is definitely better than Qinghe Bay or even Yanguan Town.
No girl from Qinghewan has married into Pingchuan County yet.
"It's the family of Mr. Zheng from Pingchuan County." Xu Jin said.
Yu didn't know much about the people in Pingchuan County, she just thought Mr. Zheng seemed so familiar.
It took me a long time to remember that the last time Matchmaker Wang came to the village to propose marriage to Zaohua, she mentioned that the Gu family wanted to send Maner to the Zheng family for good fortune, and it seemed that the man was the eldest son of the Zheng family in Pingchuan County.
If this is true, wouldn't Zaohua be a widow after she gets married?
"Is it the eldest son who is about to die of illness?" Yu asked anxiously.
"What do you mean by eldest son who is going to die of illness? I said, you are in Qinghe Bay all day long, what do you know?" Xu Jin said, "There are only a few juren in our whole Pingchuan County. Juren Zheng is from a wealthy family with land and shops. Although his eldest son is not in good health, he is not to the extent of dying of illness. His younger son is promising in study and has already become a tongsheng. This is a good marriage that is hard to find for Zaohua even with a lantern." Xu Jin said.
Xu Jin had a small kiln on the mountain where he made charcoal. He schemed his way up to the Zheng family, who bought charcoal from him every winter.
Normally, you can't talk to Mr. Zheng, and at most he has something to do with purchasing.
This time when he went to Pingchuan County to rescue Xu Yong and Xu Kun, he met Mr. Zheng through bribery and purchasing.
Xu Kun and Xu Yong were rescued through the relationship of Mr. Zheng, but the Zheng family also had a request, which was to marry him.
"But matchmaker Wang said last time that Master Zheng was about to die of illness." Yu said, clutching her handkerchief.
Xu Jin interrupted Yu and said, "Bullshit! Master Zheng is not in good health, but he is not dying of illness."
Yu was still worried and said, "The Zheng family has two sons, why don't they let the younger son marry our Zaohua?"
Xu Jin looked at Yu, speechless.
The woman in his family is really thoughtful.
"You think the son of the Zheng family is a cabbage for us to pick and choose. I, your man, am a big shot in Qinghe Bay. Who would recognize me if I left Qinghe Bay? If the eldest son of the Zheng family hadn't been sick, he wouldn't have been able to marry into our family."
Yu said in a confused state, "I'm afraid that if Zaohua marries him, Master Zheng will..."
Xu Jin smiled and said, "So we have to hurry up and give birth to a son after Zaohua gets married. With a son, we have everything. Even if the eldest son Zheng is really not good enough, Zaohua is the eldest lady of the Zheng family and no one dares to disrespect her. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. When the youngest son Zheng becomes successful in his studies, he won't dare to act rashly in front of Zaohua. Think about it, our two sons are not good at studying, nor are they good at learning a craft. In the future, if they use the relationship of the Zheng family to become shopkeepers or yamen runners, wouldn't it be better than living in the village?"
"Every daughter lives for her family and brothers. Even the Empress and Consort of Shengjing came to the palace for their own family. They also wanted the Emperor to live longer and have a better life."
Sons are the lifeblood of the Yu family.
Xu Jin convinced Yu with just a few words.
Of course she loved Zaohua very much, but that was when there was no conflict with her son's interests. Once her son's interests were involved, her daughter would inevitably be sacrificed.
Yu then sent Mr. Fan to Java.
Xu Zaohua naturally didn't want to marry into the Zheng family. She had also heard that the Gu family wanted to send Man'er to the Zheng family for good luck.
He is a young man who is about to get married, so his illness must be very serious.
Xu Zaohua fell in love with Gu Jingzhe and didn't want to marry anyone else except Gu Jingzhe.
In order to ensure Xu Zaohua could marry into the Zheng family smoothly, Xu Jin and Yu locked her up at home.
