Chapter 328: Clearance
He Li was pointing at the old lady Wu who was sitting on the ground crying, and said to the women watching the excitement, "Drag her up and take her to Wu's house. It's a shame."
Wang Cheng, Granny Li, and the two guards followed He Lizheng to the Wu family, followed by a group of villagers watching the fun. Little brother Wang was worried about his father and ran to follow him.
It finally fell silent outside.
Chen Afu looked at the scene outside the window. The old Wu family is a blood-sucking worm, and they want to keep the Wu family for the rest of their lives. Even if the nine taels of silver are paid off, they will continue to give money under other names. This old lady Wu is even worse than Mrs. Ding. Mrs. Ding abused her stepson, but she abused her own daughter.
Looking at Mrs. Wu who was crying sadly, Chen Afu advised, "Auntie, please stop crying. Doctor Huang just said that you can't waste your eyes or cry anymore."
Wu cried, "I'm not afraid of Ah Fu's jokes. When I was a girl, my father and mother never wanted me to get married and asked me to comb my own hair. They said that I learned my grandmother's embroidery skills, so I was born into the Wu family. Death is the fault of the Wu family. When I was eighteen years old, I met the head of my family, and I shamelessly asked him to marry me. I wanted to leave my parents' family, but my parents refused, so I had to hang myself to scare them away. , and promised to give me one hundred taels of silver, and then they let me get married..."
Wu's grandmother used to be a girl from a wealthy family and had good embroidery skills. Somehow he offended the mistress of the family and had his wrist broken off and sold to Wu's grandfather.
Wu's grandfather was a hunchback, known as Wu Hunchback. He was in his thirties and had not yet married a wife. I was so happy that I unexpectedly got such a fairy-like daughter-in-law. Except for the first night when I used sex, I loved her very much the rest of the time. He also kept watch over her at all times to prevent her daughter-in-law from seeking death. After more than a month of this, his wife turned out to be pregnant. Because she had a child, Wu's grandmother felt that she had hope again, so she gave up the idea of committing suicide and started living with Wu Tuozi.
Their son was Wu's father, who was so pampered that he was too lazy to do anything. Wu's father grew up and married a daughter-in-law, who was also lazy. The two relied on their father to farm in the fields and their mother to do embroidery to support them.
Grandma Wu’s right wrist was injured. Although it recovered later, she was still inflexible and could only earn a small amount of money by selling her embroidery work to ordinary small embroidery workshops. When Wu was five years old, her grandmother taught her step by step. Wu was already smart, not only learned all her grandmother's craftsmanship, but also carried it forward.
When Wu was twelve years old, her grandparents passed away one after another. Her parents gave birth to three younger brothers, and the burden of the family's life fell on her.
When Wu was fourteen years old, her embroidery work was sold to Shui Linglong, and her family began to become rich, building a house and buying land. The Wu family's reputation spread far and wide, and young people from eight villages in ten miles came to the Wu family to propose marriage.
Wu's parents don't want their daughter to get married. If their daughter is gone, who will support their family? As their daughter got older, they came up with the idea of letting Wu comb her hair by herself. Mrs. Wu knew how selfish and cruel her parents were. While they refused to comb themselves, they secretly looked for a youngster who would suit their needs.
On her way home from visiting her grandparents' graves, she encountered a homeless man who was teasing her, but she was saved by Wang Cheng who was passing by. Although Wang Cheng was disabled, he still had a knife in his hand and scared the homeless man away.
When Wu saw that Wang Cheng was an upright and kind man, and a military commander with a military ring, she took the initiative to express her love to him regardless of his disability or age...
Chen Afu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. There are so many miserable women in this evil feudal society.
However, Wu was not only skillful but also thoughtful. She did not succumb to her parents' power and finally got married. She is much smarter than her honest uncle. With this virtuous wife and a little help, my uncle's family should be able to live a better life.
I can help you for a while, but I can't help you forever.
Originally, Chen Afu wanted his uncle's family to prepare and set off with them to Tong County the day after tomorrow. Now it seems that we have to take them back to the capital in the afternoon. There are some empty courtyards in the Hou Mansion for them to stay temporarily for two days.
Then he told Mr. Wu what he thought.
Wu took a breath and said happily, "Okay, okay, the head of the family can finally be reunited with my sister, and I can finally get rid of them completely..." Then she worried, "My father is more difficult to deal with than my mother, that Can the account be settled?"
Chen Afu smiled and said, "Don't worry, auntie, we will definitely be able to settle the matter."
Just kidding, the people in the Hou Mansion can't even deal with a scoundrel, so just kill him with a piece of tofu. What's more, the Wu family is unreasonable.
Dr. Huang came from another room and said that the medicine order had been prescribed. He also told Wu what kind of supplements he usually takes, as well as some precautions.
Chen Afu thanked him and asked him to pay for the consultation fee, and also rewarded him with an extra two taels of silver. So he asked Yuhuang to go to Huichun Hall to get medicine with the old doctor, and then go to the dental shop to buy a nun. My uncle's family is weak and sick, so he needs a servant to take care of him.
The aroma of meat wafted out from the pot, making Xiaomei Wang salivate.
Chen Afu seemed to see the greedy Dabao who licked his lips two years ago again. She got up and took Wang Xiaomei to the kitchen to take a look. The dried tofu, pork liver and pig head meat in the braised pot had been braised. She asked her mother-in-law to fish them out. I came out and cut a small bowl.
She handed the small bowl to Wang Xiaomei and said with a smile, "Eat it."
Miss Wang smiled with her eyebrows crescent and said loudly, "Thank you, cousin." Then she entered the east room holding a small bowl and said to Mrs. Wu, "Mother, eat meat, there are so many."
Wu smiled and said, "My mother won't eat it, but my little sister will."
After Wang Xiaomei fed Wu two mouthfuls of meat, she took a small bowl and started eating.
About half an hour later, Wang Cheng and Grandma Li came back with happy faces.
Wu asked nervously, "Tear it apart?"
Wang Cheng nodded and smiled, "His mother, we are finally even with your family. We don't owe them a penny. You don't have to do embroidery work anymore."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu burst into tears again.
Madam Li whispered what happened. As expected, Old Man Wu was more difficult to deal with than Old Lady Wu. Even with He Lizheng escorting him, he still cried and made a fuss, saying that his daughter had learned her family's ancestral craft and couldn't just care about her husband's family and ignore her family...
It was the two guards who threatened and scolded him, wanting to drag him to see the county magistrate, saying that he had violated the laws of the Dashun Dynasty and would not only be beaten with a stick, but also be imprisoned. This scared the old man and he took out the loan note...
Chen Afu told Wang Cheng what he meant again.
Wang Cheng nodded in agreement. He also saw that once Chen Afu and the others left, the old Wu family would definitely come to make trouble again. He was not afraid, but he was afraid that Mrs. Wu's body could not bear it.
Several people discussed that since this was their last meal here, they would invite the village head and everyone who had helped his family to drink. Chen Afu asked someone to bring two days' worth of food for Wang Cheng's family, enough to invite several tables.
This small courtyard would not be left, otherwise it would be occupied by the shameless Wu family. So they asked the village head to help sell it, and let the guards collect the money after a while.
After the discussion, Wang Cheng and Wang Xiaodi went to invite people separately, and several women were busy again.
There will be another update in the afternoon, which will be added for keppra10,000 starting coins.
