Chapter 113 Promise
"She's pretending to be crazy." Shitou said, "She ran towards the village entrance while looking back. I followed her far away and she didn't notice me. Judging from the direction she was going, she should be heading into the city."
"Into the city." Shang Wan repeated these two words playfully, and guessed, "Is her adulterer in the city?"
"It's impossible that she is from the city." Xiao Huan said, "I just asked Aunt Yao quietly, and there are many marks on her body. It was probably only yesterday..."
She paused, but everyone understood what she had not yet finished.
They had an affair yesterday, but Gui did not leave the village yesterday and no outsiders entered the village, so the adulterer could only be a villager.
Shang Wan sighed lightly, "What a cowardly man." He dared to do it but not to take responsibility for it. Gui was also blind.
Whether Gui committed adultery or not has nothing to do with our family. We have a lot of things to do and don’t have time to care about other people.
However, they don't care, but there are many people in the village who care.
Each family closed the door, and the wives interrogated their husbands behind their parents-in-law's backs to see if their husbands were the adulterer.
It was a lively afternoon. From time to time, sounds of smashing pots and bowls and couples swearing at each other could be heard from people's homes. The onlookers couldn't even run away.
The old woman and the girl in pink entered the village at this time, wondering why there were so many quarrels in the village.
The two of them asked along the way and finally found the Lin family.
I knocked on the Lin family's door and it was Chen Guifang who opened it. When she saw the old woman's face clearly, she was stunned.
What is this old witch doing here in my house for no reason?
Seeing that Chen Guifang was blocking the door and neither calling anyone nor letting them in, the old woman's face darkened.
"You can't even call out for help. Are you mute? Where's Xiaolan? I came all the way here, and she didn't even come out to greet me."
Chen Guifang secretly complained that she didn't ask you to come, but she couldn't say that on her face. She forced a smile, called someone, and welcomed them in.
Village chief Lin was smoking a pipe in the yard, and his face fell when he saw the old woman.
The old woman changed her long donkey face, grabbed the pink-dressed girl's hand and went to greet her warmly, "Yuzhi, this is your uncle, hurry up and call someone."
Liu Yuzhi whispered, "Hello, uncle."
Facing the younger generation, Village Chief Lin's expression eased a little and nodded, "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown so much."
"Yes, Xiaolan sent someone to bring a message to me, saying that she wants to find a good marriage for Yuzhi. I heard that the man is a scholar."
The old lady Wei smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on her face. "I just couldn't wait for you to come pick me up. I was worried that Yuzhi's good fortune would be delayed, so I brought the child here. It will also be convenient for him to meet his future grandson-in-law."
Village Chief Lin's expression, which was trying to ease the situation, suddenly became uglier than before. How come he didn't know about this matter?
"Mom, Yuzhi." After hearing the news, Liu came out of the house in surprise, followed by Zhou.
"Aunt." Yuzhi was obviously familiar with Liu and took the initiative to call her.
Wei's face fell, and she snorted, "We waited for a long time at home but no one came to pick us up, so we had no choice but to shamelessly go to the door and cause trouble."
"Mother, what you said is out of context." Liu explained, "Something happened at home, so I just forgot about it for a while."
Wei asked with a frown, "What could be more important than picking up your mother?"
Liu's face was filled with worry. "Mother, the second son is injured and hasn't woken up yet."
Wei was shocked and didn't bother to teach her daughter a lesson. She asked while asking Liu to take her to see it.
The mother and daughter were about to leave hand in hand, but Village Chief Lin, with a sullen face, stopped them and asked Zhou to take the two of them to see what was going on.
Wei was a little afraid of her son-in-law, so she didn't dare to say much and pulled Liu Yuzhi and Zhou into the house.
In the courtyard, Village Chief Lin stared at Liu, "How come I didn't know you were going to propose marriage to Yuzhi? And to a scholar, there is only one scholar in our village! Liu, what are you planning?"
"Master, I didn't have time to discuss this with you," Liu said. "I thought, since our family can't beat that Lu guy, why not make him our own? Then he will be on our side when something good happens in the future, right?"
"Do you think that Shang is a vegetarian?" Village chief Lin wanted to point at Liu's nose and scold her.
Liu didn't care at all. "Yuzhi is beautiful and gentle and considerate. Which man wouldn't like her? If a man wants to divorce his wife, can Shang stop him?"
Village Chief Lin was furious. "No matter how beautiful Yuzhi is, she is not as beautiful as Shang. If you don't have a brain, will your eyes be blind too?"
"That Shang guy is weird and you can tell at first glance that he is not good at living a decent life. How can he compare to Yuzhi?" In Liu's eyes, Liu Yuzhi was a hundred times better than Shang Wan.
Village Chief Lin was so angry that his heart ached and he didn't want to talk.
Liu said, "Master, trust me for once. Just let Yuzhi appear in front of Mr. Lu and I guarantee that he will be glued to her. As long as the two of them can accomplish their goal and drive away that Shang, our family will still be able to rule the village."
Village chief Lin's anger subsided, and inspired by Liu's words, he suddenly came up with an idea.
He said in a slower tone, "Clean up the house and let mother and Yuzhi live there. We'll talk about other things later."
Liu quickly agreed and happily went to prepare the house.
Chen Guifang watched coldly, wondering what her father-in-law, who had always been at odds with his father-in-law's family, was planning to do by keeping the person here.
The words are divided into two parts.
Xiaohuan went to Zhang's house to borrow a kitchen knife and happened to meet Madam Rong.
Madam Rong was carrying a small bamboo basket with three packets of herbs in it, and was about to go to the Lu family to deliver the medicine.
"Good sister, I can just take it home, saving you the trouble of making a trip."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Madam Rong took Xiaohuan's arm and patted her gently. "Not only to deliver the medicine, I also want to talk to my sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Xiaohuan no longer insisted, and the two returned home hand in hand.
"Sister." Xiao Huan walked into the shed, "Madam Rong is here."
Shang Wan was eating Chinese cabbage. Upon hearing this, he put it down and walked out.
"Sister-in-law." Rong Madam called her affectionately and handed over the herbs in the bamboo basket. "This is the new medicine prepared by your elder brother Yuan. Let Brother Lu drink this at night. It will be effective."
Shang Wan thanked him, took it, and sat down with Madam Rong to chat about family matters.
"It's getting late, sister-in-law will go back first." After sitting for a while, Madam Rong stood up and said goodbye.
Watching Madam Rong leave, Xiao Huan leaned over and asked in confusion, "Sister, did Madam Rong come all this way just to chat with you?"
"Of course not." Shang Wan shook his head and asked, "Do you know that knife wounds and wounds caused by wild beast bites are different?"
Xiaohuan nodded halfway when she suddenly understood.
Yuan Musheng is a doctor. Since he has to suture Gao Qi's wound, he naturally knows the tricks involved.
Shang Wan said: "Sister-in-law came here specially to reassure us. Even if Brother Yuan finds out something, he won't tell anyone."
Xiao Huan opened her mouth and said, "Sister, did you know that Doctor Yuan would not tell anyone about the abnormality of the wound?"
"Probably." Shang Wan smiled, "Now the matter is truly over."
"What if they tell it later?"
It is said that people's hearts are fickle. Although Xiaohuan doesn't want to think too badly of people, she still has to be on guard against them.
