Back to the Countryside

As the wedding day approached, Qi Yue became busy, time was tight, and there were so many preparations, Lin Sheng was also arrested by him to become a young man.

Because he is an outsider, he doesn't know many people here, and he doesn't know who to invite. After thinking about it for a long time, he asked the village chief and Lin Sheng for their opinions, and offered them to those who are close to them and more prestigious in the village. All the posts have been handed over, and the guest's matter has been resolved.

The He family has not been very happy recently. When He Ling was here, he did all the laundry, cooking, carrying water and chopping firewood at home. Once he left, all these things fell on their own heads. .

"Every day is smoky, full of oily smoke!" Mrs. Zheng fiddled with the vegetables in the pot with a shovel, complaining dissatisfied.

"That's right, my hands are rough from washing clothes recently!" Mrs. Liu echoed, helping to add a ladle of water to the pot.

How comfortable they used to be, they just waited to eat when it was time to eat, and the dirty clothes would be washed wherever they were thrown away. The heaviest work they ever did was just feeding chickens and sweeping the floor.But now, they have to wash the clothes of the whole family, cook the meals, ask their own men to help when there is no water or firewood, and they have to be reluctantly complained that they spend too much and don't know how to save.

"That He Zhen, who doesn't do anything now, just eats ready-made ones. He still thinks the clothes I washed for him yesterday are not clean!" Mrs. Zheng became more and more annoyed, no matter what, she was his sister-in-law. Talk to her in such a tone, "A brother is so lazy, no wonder Qi Yue looks down on him!"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Liu pinched her waist, she turned her head dissatisfied, and saw He Zhen standing at the door of the kitchen with a sullen face.

Talking bad things about people behind their backs, and being listened to seriously, somewhat guilty, Mrs. Zheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "Brother Zhen, did mother ask you to come here?"

"Hmph!" He Zhen sneered, and said, "You are diligent, but it's a pity that you can't even have a son, so you have to give birth to a loser!"

What he said hit Zheng's sore spot. After three years of marriage with He Gui, she gave birth to a thin and small daughter. He Tian and Qian's attitude towards her was obviously not as good as that of Liu who gave birth to a son. Unwilling, He Zhen still exposed her scars in front of her like this, and she immediately became annoyed, "You are a loser?! In that case, you are someone who loses money and no one wants you!!"

He Zhen's expression immediately became extremely ferocious. He walked over a few steps and slapped her directly on the face.

His slap came suddenly, Liu Shi and Zheng Shi didn't react, Zheng Shi was slapped straight, she covered her face, and turned her head in disbelief, "How dare you hit me?!"

"How about beating you?" He Zhen didn't apologize at all, and looked at her as a matter of course.

"He Zhen!" Zheng Shi screamed and grabbed his hair, and scratched his face directly with the other hand.

He Zhen didn't expect her to fight back, and she couldn't dodge. When she was pulled by her hair, she also reached out to grab her, and the two of them wrestled into a ball instantly.

"You guys, stop beating!" Liu wanted to pull them away, but she didn't know where to start. Both of them were waving and scratching, and she was afraid that she would be hurt.

"What is this for?!" He Tian, ​​Qian Shi, He Fu and He Gui all ran in after hearing the commotion, and He Tian watched them huddle together angrily.

Mrs. Qian hurriedly asked her two sons to go over and drag him away. There was a stove next to them, and it would be so hot!

When they were separated, their hair was a mess, and their faces were scratched by each other. Qian hurriedly held He Zhen's face to check, looked at the bloody nail marks, and pointed to Zheng's nose He scolded, "Well, you bastard, look what you have done to my brother Zhen's face, are you going to rebel?!"

Mrs. Zheng was also scratched and her face was hurt. Mrs. Qian still scolded her. She naturally refused, and opened her mouth to talk back, but He Gui stopped him. He smiled at Mrs. Qian, "Mother, calm down, you should hurry up Let someone show Zhen'er, it won't be good if there are scars!"

Mrs. Qian gave her a gouged look, and then took He Zhen out, followed by several others.

Mrs. Zheng pushed He Gui away, "Are you still a man? I have been bullied like this, and you are still facing him!"

"Oh my good daughter-in-law!" He Gui hugged her shoulders, "Don't forget the 50 taels of silver in your mother's hand, before we dig it out, you should bear with it!"

When the letter of appointment was formally issued, Qi Yue handed over the 50 taels of silver under the witness of the village head, and was pinched by Qian Shi all the time, and they didn't even see it.

When it came to the matter of silver, Mrs. Zheng calmed down a little, but she was still a little bit unwilling, "But is it just like this that Zhen is bullied? What if your mother leaves him the money?"

He Gui patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, "Don't worry, no matter how much mother loves He Zhen, he will marry off, and protecting him is just because he is afraid that he won't be able to marry a good family if he wastes his face, and will provide for his parents in the future." It’s not about me and elder brother, let’s try to please her more, so we can share more points!”

When he said this, Zheng Shi also figured it out. No matter how rampant He Zhen is, she still wants to marry, so it won't hinder her eyes. If he can't change his temper in the future, his in-laws will come to deal with him .Thinking of this, Zheng's heart became much happier.

Mrs. Qian sent He Fu to call Li Langzhong, and dragged He Zhen back to the house, holding his face and carefully inspecting the nail marks, "What if there are scars?"

I didn't care so much when I was fighting just now, but now He Zhen started to get nervous, the girl and brother care about their own face the most, and they don't want to have any flaws, "Mom, don't scare me!"

"Now you know you're afraid? Why do you think you're going to fight her!" Seeing that the nail marks were all shallow, she should be able to heal with some medicine, so she was relieved.

Seeing that Qian Shi was still in the mood to teach herself a lesson, it didn't matter if she thought about it, He Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and began to comb her messy hair, "No one wants her to say that I posted it wrong!"

"This second daughter-in-law is getting more and more courageous! If she makes you angry again later, tell me, you are at a disadvantage!" Qian patted his leg, telling him not to be stupid next time.

"Yeah!" He Zhen responded, straightened her hair, and whispered again: "Mother, is the method you told me before really useful?"

Knowing what he was talking about, Qian also lowered her voice, "Of course, just for the sake of face, he will suffer a lot!"

"Mother~" He Zhen was not happy when she heard Qian said that she suffered a loss.

"Wrong, wrong, it's a blessing, it's a blessing!" Qian quickly changed his words.

A smug smile finally broke out on He Zhen's face, what will He Ling do when he sees it!

The day before the wedding, He Ling had to go back to the He family, and then he would marry from the He family. This was the condition that he had negotiated with the He family from the beginning.

He dragged on until after dinner, and it was dark for a long time before Qi Yue planned to take him there. Fang was afraid that the two juniors had something to say, so they came along.

Walking on the road, Fang kept holding He Ling's hand and told him to stay in the house and not go out after returning home, and ignore what the He family asked him to do.In the past, because of the rumors in the village and He Ling's appearance, although she sympathized with him, she didn't deal with him very much. During the two weeks of living together, she liked his temper more and more.

Seeing Fang's worried expression, He Ling was very moved. Except for the time when he lived with his father when he was young, no elder cared about him like this. "You don't have to worry!"

"How can I not be worried? There is no good family in that family!" From Fang's point of view, sending He Ling back to the He family is no different from sending a rabbit to a wolf's den.

"I will take care of myself!" He Ling knew what she was worried about, but they would not do anything to him now,

Qi Yue was walking beside him, feeling uneasy, but he didn't say anything, just raised his hand and gently wrapped his arms around his shoulder.

He Ling felt the hand on his shoulder, turned his head and looked at Qi Yue's eyes tenderly, his cheeks blushed, but he didn't avoid his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't lower his head, the smile on Qi Yue's face became wider.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Fang's expression was no longer so worried, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

Qi Yue put down his arms around He Ling, and took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, which was similar to the one he gave He Ling before. He stuffed the bottle into the hands of the people around him, and said, "Put this close to your body, if they If you dare to bully you again, just let it go."

"Boy Qi, what is this?" Fang looked at the small bottle, curious.

"It's a drug!" Qi Yue smiled, the bottle is indeed a drug, but it has a stronger effect and makes people sleep longer.Although he has many more vicious medicines, it would be bad if he frightened his little husband.

"Drugs?" Fang thought for a while, clapped her hands, and was happy, "This thing is good, if they touch you, let them lie on the ground and sleep!"

After hearing his explanation, He Ling stuffed the medicine bottle in his sleeve and put it away.

When the three arrived at He's house, they called for the door, and Mrs. Qian quickly answered and opened the half-hidden door.

The first time she saw He Ling, she almost didn't recognize him. Usually at their house, He Ling was dressed in dusty clothes, with his head bowed and timid.Now, wearing silk clothes, her face is ruddy, and her attitude is much more natural. She looks even more attractive than before, she thought to herself, what a charmer!

No matter what he was thinking in his heart, Qian still welcomed them in with a smile on his face, "Brother Ling, you are not here for a while, aunt misses you so much!"

Fang curled her lips, thinking that she was hypocritical, because she wanted He Ling to come back and work for her!

Qi Yue and He Ling went directly to the room where he lived, seeing the shabby environment again, Qi Yue frowned lightly, "I should bring a quilt!"

"It's okay, it's only one night!" He Ling didn't care, he had lived here for more than ten years, and this night was not bad.

Qi Yue sighed lightly, feeling that he hadn't considered it well, "I'll get it for you when I get home later!"

"No, don't be so troublesome, I'll just sleep for one night, it's fine!" He Ling quickly refused, the things Qi Yue bought at home were all good things, it would be too wasteful to store them in such a place.

Seeing his insistence, Qi Yue had no choice but to put the package in his hand on the bed, where was He Ling's wedding dress.

The two talked a few more words, Qi Yue went out, Fang Shi and Qian Shi also had a talk, what was in the words was to tell her not to touch He Ling anymore, so many eyes were watching!

After sending both of them out the door, the smile on Qian's face disappeared. He rolled his eyes and went back to the house. Let's see how long Fang can be proud!
