Tie Kui Fanwai (131)

Awang is married, and it's time to deal with Duan Caixia.

Hongbo hopes to marry Duan Caixia earlier. On the second day after Awang accompanied his wife, Hongbo came to Awang and said, "I want to give Caixia to Li Butou, what do you think?"

This Li Butou is the chief catcher of the county government, and he is considered a local snake. Awang has certainly heard of such a person.

Awang hesitated a bit, and said: "Uncle, I heard that the daughter-in-law before him was beaten to death by him." If this is true, he doesn't want to marry this kind of marriage.

Even if he hated Duan Caixia to death, he didn't want her to die. Originally, he wanted to marry her far away, but Hongbo and his wife disagreed, so he couldn't do anything about it.

In fact, Awang thinks his parents are stupid. Always ask grandparents for money, how much money can they have. With the help of the family's power, there are several shops that still have no money to make. Therefore, he is now working hard to maintain a good relationship with Hongbo's family and prepare for opening his own shop in the future.

Hongbo waved his hands and said: "His wife died of illness, and the rumors are just rumors spread by someone with a heart. Ah Wang, Captain Li is submissive even to the gang of policemen under his command. Caixia will not dare to marry him." What a bad idea." Li Butou's daughter-in-law did die of illness, but with such a name, plus Li Butou looks like a black bear, many people dare not marry their daughters to him. Of course, he can't look down on those who want to.

After hearing the words, Awang no longer objected: "Everything is up to uncle." He is also annoyed when he sees Duan Caixia now, and hopes to marry her off as soon as possible.

Li Butou entered the yamen at the age of sixteen and stayed in the yamen for more than ten years, with a very active mind. He was sure that there was something strange about it, otherwise why would the master's niece have married him a widower. However, the backer of the Tie family is the Marquis of Anyang, and with this relationship, his children may be more promising in the future.

People who are in the officialdom are very aware of the importance of connections. However, he also sent someone to inquire. After confirming that Duan Caixia had no affair with anyone, he invited a matchmaker to propose marriage to Duan's family.

Two months later, he married Duan Caixia in. Although Catcher Li doesn't have a lot of salary in the yamen, he is well-off as a catcher. The Li family not only has a secondary house, but also a shop and property.

As soon as Duan Caixia entered the door, there was a servant girl ordering her around, and she no longer had to do the work by herself. Such a day is what she dreams of, so even though Detective Li is not as good as he looks and is old, she is still very happy. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for her to find that she couldn't go out.

At first she could bear it, but Duan Caixia liked people who visited her. She was imprisoned for a few months before, but now she is still imprisoned after getting married, and she can't bear it after a long time.

Li Butou said: "I will go out with you when I have time.

At other times, you just stay at home obediently and are not allowed to go anywhere. "

"Why? I'm not a prisoner? Why don't you let me out?"

Li Butou sneered and said: "I don't want to be like your father, who not only became a thousand-year-old bastard, but also lost his life because of it." After wearing the green hat for so long, he didn't know that his father-in-law was also an idiot.

Duan Caixia's complexion was pale, and her voice trembled a little: "Since you look down on me so much, why did you marry me?"

"My lord wants me to marry, so I will marry naturally." After Li Butou finished speaking, he looked at Duan Caixia and said, "If you stay at home peacefully, I will treat you well. But if you dare to marry me privately Go out, don't blame me for being rude."

If someone flinches after being threatened with one or two sentences, then she is not Duan Caixia. Two days later, while the mother-in-law and maids were not paying attention, she ran home and asked Ngawang for help.

After hearing Duan Caixia's cry, Awang just said: "Since I told you not to go out, don't go out on weekdays. What does it look like for a woman to always go out?" Mainly because of Webster's matter, Duan Caixia It's best to stay safe.

Regardless of Duan Caixia's pleading, Ngawang sent her back to Li's house.

Li Butou came back to know about this and beat Duan Caixia. Then, keep her in the room and not allow her to eat.

Duan Caixia has never experienced such suffering since she was a child. When he was dizzy from hunger, he saw Catcher Li enter the house, and he cried and said, "Master, I was wrong, I will never dare to go out without permission again."

Catcher Li looked at her, and said coldly: "If there is another time, I will beat you to death."

Seeing Li Butou's gloomy appearance, Duan Caixia was scared out of her wits: "No, there will be no next time."

Li Butou was very satisfied. This woman just needs to be cleaned up, and she will be honest after a beating.

The Xiao family returned to the capital half a month later. Walking to the gate of her house, she looked up at the four gold-plated characters of "Anyang Marquis Mansion" on it, her eyes fixed on it.

Zeng Chenfu's maid greeted her and said, "Ma'am, it's cold outside, come in quickly!"

Xiao asked: "Is Afu going out to entertain her?" If not, with Zeng Chenfu's temperament, she would definitely come out to meet her in person.

The servant girl shook her head and said: "Madam, this is not a place to talk, let's go to the mansion to talk about it!"

Xiao Shi was a little puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions. After entering the mansion left and right, you will know.

After returning to his yard, Xiao said after sitting down, "Now we can talk about it!"

The servant girl hurriedly knelt down to apologize, and said, "Ma'am, Mrs. Shizi is pregnant. It's just that I worked too hard a while ago, and now I'm lying on the bed to raise the baby."

Xiao Shi hurriedly stood up and said, "You really are, why didn't you say it earlier."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xiao hurried to visit Zeng Chenfu, and Mrs. Fu also followed.

When Zeng Chenfu saw Xiao Shi, she was about to get up. However, she was pushed back by Xiao Shi: "Lie down well, don't get up."

Zeng Chenfu lay back down again.

Xiao asked with great concern: "What did the imperial doctor say? But is there any hindrance?"

Zeng Chenfu smiled and said: "The imperial doctor said that I should not work any longer. The child should lie on the bed before three months. Mother, please forgive me for not being able to go out to meet you."

Xiao Shi said: "What are you talking about? Naturally, your body is important. Since you shouldn't work hard, leave the family affairs to me. You can just take care of your baby." If you come back earlier, there will be no such matter. Speaking of which, she is still incompetent as a mother-in-law. When the daughter-in-law came in, she acted as a shopkeeper and went to Tongcheng.

Zeng Chenfu didn't dare to be brave, because if something happened to the child, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Originally, Mrs. Xiao wanted to take a two-day break and go to the hot spring village, but with Zeng Chenfu's appearance, she naturally had to stay.

Ning Hai didn't know that Zeng Chenfu was pregnant again until she received Xiao's letter, and she was exhausted due to too much labor.

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't serve wine." If the child has good or bad things, the happy event will turn into a bad one.

Ruhui said in relief, "Father, I can't blame you for this matter. I can only say that this child came at such a coincidence. Father, don't worry, I believe that the child's siblings and the child will be fine."

Ning Hai said: "Why don't we go back to Beijing tomorrow!"

"No, Dad, Doctor Bai said that soaking in hot springs is good for your health. And Doctor Bai will give you an injection tomorrow, how can you go back?" After a pause, Ruhui said: "If Dad is worried, I will give you an injection tomorrow." Go back and have a look."

"good."

Back and forth, it took two days.

When Ruhui came back, it happened that the doctor Bai finished the injection. Different from the first time, now Ning Hai seems to be fished out of the water every time before the needle is inserted, and his whole body is wet.

After Ning Hai took a shower casually, someone called Ruhui over.

Before he could speak, Ruhui said, "Father, the siblings and the children are all fine, so you don't have to worry."

After finishing speaking, Ruhui handed Ning Hai a letter: "Father, this is a letter from elder brother."

The letter is still sealed, so it can be seen that it has not been opened.

Ning Hai read the letter, and said to Ruhui: "Your elder brother said in the letter that he agreed to marry the second wife, but this person wants me to choose." Fang Hui, Ma Shi's wife, has completely lost his patience. But at home, we can't live without someone in charge. So Ning Hai's proposal was exactly what he wanted.

Ruhui doesn't care whether Fang Hui marries his second wife or not.

Ning Hai said, "Ruhui, it's not easy for your elder brother, please help him!"

Ruhui looked confused, and said after a long time: "Father, you don't mean to ask me to find a second room for elder brother, do you?"

"I can't believe your mother's vision. Your younger siblings are not suitable to go out now because they have to raise babies. Therefore, I can only entrust this matter to you." The marriage between Ruyi and Ruhui sisters was fortunately not let Xiao's decision. Girls don't live so well.

Ruhui doesn't want to take this matter: "Father, my eyesight is not good either. You should find someone else for this matter!"

Ning Hai sighed and said, "Ruhui, I know you are dissatisfied with Ah Hui, but he is really having a hard time right now. Ruhui, you can just help dad, okay?" It was Fang Hui who was concerned. Whenever he thinks of Ma Shi, he feels very sad.

Ruhui wanted to refuse, but after hearing the almost begging tone, she couldn't say no.

After a moment of silence, Ruhui said, "Father, what do you want to find for big brother?"

Ning Hai is a very pragmatic person: "As long as you want to be a sensible governor and take care of the affairs outside the family, you don't need to ask for anything else." Although the second wife is married, she is still a concubine. People will be willing to be concubines.

"Is it okay to reconcile or be widowed?"

Ning Hai hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "As long as the other party has no problem with character." Now it's only good for others, and it doesn't matter if other conditions are poor.

She just said that she didn't really want to find a reconciliation or widow for Fang Hui. It's just that Ruhui didn't expect Ning Hai's request to be so low: "When I return to Beijing, I'll help find it!"

Hearing this, Ning Hai hurriedly said: "I don't need you to do anything here, you can go back tomorrow! In this way, the son-in-law will not be left alone at home without anyone to take care of him."

Ruhui is also a mother herself, and knows that parents want their children to be well: "It's okay, but dad, I have to take Shiyin and her siblings back." Taking care of children is too tiring, even if Shiyin and the others are sensible. But taking care of them also takes a lot of energy, Ruhui dare not let Ning Hai suffer.

Ning Hai was a bit reluctant, and said: "Then when you are free, you must bring the children home often." After a month, he will return to Beijing.

Ruhui responded with one bite.
