Chapter 695 The Young Lady Doesn’t Want to Marry Again 26
The Wang family just said to the crowd, "There was a burglar in my house last night, but they didn't steal anything from my house." After taking out a shoe, everyone in the village quickly understood.
thief?
It was stolen!
If you don’t steal anything, then what should you steal?
Of course it’s human!
Look at the Wang family and Zhang family next to each other, think about that bellyband, who stole it, and who else doesn’t understand?
Who stole it? Need I say more? The neighboring villages are about to explode!
Look at that shoe again, and listen to the explanation from the Wang family, tsk tsk...
The villagers who had just returned from the neighboring village also confirmed at a glance that Guo Wu did have only one shoe on his feet when he was found last night, and it was indeed very similar to the Wang family's shoes.
In just a short time, the news about Widow Zhang and Guo Wu spread. A large number of villagers came to Wang's house to look at the shoes and pointed at Widow Zhang.
All the neighbors can attest that last night was indeed unusual. For a while, the dogs in the whole village were so excited that they barked for a long time before they stopped.
The Wang family was relieved, but the Zhang family living on the other side of the village was furious.
Okay, that little widow eats, wears, and lives in her own house, but... she knows that it's not good for her to live alone with her grandson. She is really unscrupulous!
Isn’t it the Zhang family’s face that she has lost? My son is so pitiful, he will become a joke even after he dies!
The Zhang family came quickly and wanted to take away the shoe. At the same time, they went to Huang Cuihua's house to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find two bellybands, packed them and rushed to Guo's house in the neighboring village...
They went to Guo's house for confirmation.
Then there was a fuss.
It was confirmed that not only did Guo Wu fit the shoe perfectly, but Guo's yard also found a pair of shoes that fit just right...
Comparing the bellyband, the stitching, embroidery method and pattern are all exactly the same as those from Widow Zhang.
The Zhang family refused to give up and kept saying that the Guo family was shameless and stole people...
The farce begins again.
Guo Wu had drunk too much and had broken his tablets. He didn't even know who had beaten him. How could he know that his shoes had ended up next door to Widow Zhang's house?
The Zhang family clamored to report to the official, and the Guo family expressed the same attitude.
They felt that maybe the Zhang family deliberately injured their drunken son in order to blackmail their Guo family...
Eventually, the two families started fighting. Guo Wu was beaten several times, and Widow Zhang was slapped more than ten times by Guo's mother.
People from several villages came to see the excitement. Although both the Guo and Zhang families were very convincing, and although Guo Wu and Huang Cuihua did not admit it, the people's eyes were sharp and they believed that Guo Wu and Widow Zhang had an affair.
After all, who would admit to stealing?
Ha, I heard that in some places, a man who steals from a widow will be exiled, and a widow who commits such a scandal will be imprisoned in a pig cage! No punishment for those two people is too much!
Both families clamored to report to the official, but in the end they didn't go.
If you really want to report to the official, you really don’t need the face! The coffin of the deceased son of the Zhang family cannot be held down, and Guo Wu may never find a wife in his life.
So under Muramasa's persuasion, the Guo family paid the Zhang family five taels of silver to settle the matter.
The Guo family has long been out of money. In the end they could only write down an IOU.
Guo's mother sat in front of her house and cried out, while the Zhang family divorced Huang Cuihua and drove her away.
After losing her reputation and being suspended, Huang Cuihua embarked on the same path as Ji Wenqing back then.
She returned to her parents' home, but how could the Huang family accept her like this?
The Huang family asked her to be their sister-in-law.
But she didn't want to.
When Tao Ran passed Huang's house, he saw her sitting by the door crying.
Tao Ran raised his head and said, "Just remarry. If Guo Wu ruins your reputation, you will naturally have to find him to take responsibility for it!"
Huang Cuihua thought about it, that's exactly what happened!
Her mind was spinning very fast.
Early the next morning, Huang Cuihua took the Huang family to the Guo family.
She threatened that either Guo Wu would be responsible for marrying her, or the Guo family would be responsible for raising her, otherwise, she would report Guo Wu to the authorities for breaking into the Zhang family and raping her...
Mother Guo rushed forward again, grabbed Huang Cuihua's hair and started beating her.
Why!
Marry her? A widow! Pooh! She is still a dirty widow in her thirties! If she wants to have a grandson, can she still give birth to a grandson?
Feed her? That’s even more impossible! His family was originally in good condition and had saved some money to continue the family lineage. But now they have owed money within a few days and they don't want to spend a single coin anymore!
Rape? shameless! Can her son like her? My son almost married the daughter of a scholar! She is an unlucky widow, she deserves it!
The Guo family and Huang Cuihua put on another good show for the villagers...
The Guo family said that even if they died together with the Huang family, they would not want the divorced widow!
Mother Guo was particularly excited. She even held a kitchen knife across her neck, accidentally drawing blood.
When the Huang family saw this, they were afraid of causing a big trouble, so they didn't dare to press forward.
Muramasa is very busy.
He intervened again.
After some persuasion, it was finally agreed that the Guo family would compensate Huang Cuihua with thirty taels of silver.
The Guo family couldn't get the money, so they had to write another IOU...
Although Tao Ran enjoyed watching the play, she was also a little regretful. She originally wanted to pair Guo Wu and the widow together and let them torture each other, but it seemed that it was not possible.
But it doesn't matter, she has a backup plan.
…
On the other side, Feng Er also visited Ji's door again.
He was quite proud.
He made some casual arrangements and took care of Guo Wu.
Now he can always beat Ji Wenqing, right?
Tao Ran rarely faced him directly, and then shook his head.
"You men, you are so scary! Guo Wu is the most honest in the village. He knows everything. You... can't believe it."
Feng Er once again explained his sincerity.
"You are a man who has a concubine, a man who was caught in the middle of the night from the home of a young girl, and everyone knows that you have many bed-warming girls at home. Why are you sincerely talking to me?"
Tao Ran's eyes were restrained, he hesitated to speak, and his voice was a little sour, making Feng Er eager to express his stance again.
"I swear to God, I have nothing to do with that Zheng Qinqin. She plotted against me last time. Otherwise, how could she get into my house? With her kind of character, can the rumors spread out be believed? My sincerity towards you , you still can’t feel this? Why do you care about that woman? "
"Feng Er! In such a fastidious family, who would allow a concubine to enter the house before his wife? What's wrong with me? And you don't even think about it, what did Zheng Qinqin's family do to my family before? My family was almost killed by her family! What do you think? Will I live under the same roof with her? Am I not asking for trouble? Looking for trouble? Giving people a reason to talk? Being laughed at? Why should I make myself uncomfortable! As long as I think about staring at her in the future, I might as well just twist my hair and become a sister-in-law!"
Ji Wenqing has always been aloof, and this time he said so much in one breath. This rarely intense tone and expression made Feng Er a little excited. Doesn't she care?
Did he make her tempted after all?
After thinking about it carefully, she was right.
She is so angry that she definitely doesn't want to compete with others. Zheng Qinqin, that shrew, had a grudge against her, so she must be disgusted.
It was because he didn't think carefully before.
"So, you just care about Zheng Qinqin, right? She is the main reason why you don't want to marry me?"
Tao Ran bit his lip, acquiescing.
Feng Er nodded.
"Don't worry! I won't let her become an obstacle between you and me! I will never let her cause you any discomfort! Just give me some time."
"I……"
Before Tao Ran finished speaking, Feng Er had already strode away.
Forehead.
She really didn't finish her sentence.
That’s it!
Take it one step at a time!
