Chapter 99 Repaying the Grace of Saving Life
Author: Seven taels of broken silver
Everyone in the village knew that Mrs. Zhao was stingy.
Cheng Erlang had been able to work since he was a child, so she wanted to keep him by her side for a while to work. However, he had to earn the money from the bride price and dowry for his younger brothers and sisters. Otherwise, wouldn’t the Cheng family have suffered a loss in raising him for so many years?
The Cheng family was very satisfied with Zhou Xing's marriage at first.
Because Zhou Xing was also a well-known hard-working girl from all over the country, but such a beautiful and hard-working girl fell in love with anyone in the Cheng family, but Cheng Erlang, which made Mrs. Zhao extremely aggrieved.
What was even more frustrating was that the Zhou family asked for a bride price of ten taels of silver.
The Cheng family can still afford it if they want to bite the bullet. The problem is that Mrs. Zhao raised Cheng Erlang so that he could make money for herself. But now she doesn't make much money, but has to lose so much. Of course she is not happy.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to save this money to help her three sons get married?
If you are unsure about something, just postpone it.
Mrs. Zhao watched with peace of mind as Zhou Xing came to the house from time to time to deliver things and show courtesy, and also tried to bring her and Cheng Sanlang together. Unfortunately, Zhou Xing saw this and ended in failure.
Cheng Miaomiao's face was furious and her voice was anxious.
"Daddy has collected so many things from Aunt Zhou?!"
Hearing that there was no grandma here, Cheng Xiaomiao's patience was exhausted. All he could think about was that Mrs. Zhao was a vicious and bad old woman. How could daddy accept other people's things?
Cheng Miaomiao was so anxious that it was like a bolt from the blue!
If Dad collects other people’s things, does that mean he likes Aunt Zhou Xing?!
Because it really sounds like taking advantage!
Ji Huai nodded: It's not very similar, this is just taking advantage.
Zeng Ziji scratched his head in embarrassment. He always felt that it was not good for them to inquire about adults like this. He hesitated for a long time, and then asked in a low voice: "What next?"
But, he really wants to know what happens next.
Uncle Wang put his hands in his hands and laughed, smiling mysteriously, and said: "Buy a piece of tofu, and I will tell you what happens next."
"..."
Oh, it turns out this is the smile of a profiteer.
Cheng Miaomiao felt resentful.
Her pockets were empty recently. In the past, she could dig up herbs and exchange them for a small amount of money with Dr. Zeng. But since she became acquainted with him, all this work was in vain. She just wanted to repay Ji Huai's medical expenses.
Ji Huai also fell silent. He was also penniless.
Both of them looked at Zeng Ziji. The latter took out a copper coin from his pocket and decided that tonight he could let Aunt Ye add a side of shallots to the tofu. At this moment, someone forced his head.
Pressed it.
"??"
"Wang Erdou, if you sell tofu, you can sell it well. You have really grown up by tricking and abducting children here. Are there people like you?" The village chief's angry voice came from behind.
Cheng Miaomiao was frightened by the loud voice. She turned around quietly and caught a glimpse of the village chief's angry face.
Cheng Miaomiao subconsciously felt guilty, but then remembered that she was asking about her father and mother, and she was not doing anything bad, and her whole person suddenly became hardened.
Zhang Wei looked at the children standing in rows in front of him, veins twitching on his forehead.
Uncle Wang was not afraid of him. He just waved his hands with a smile, and his tone sounded a little regretful: "Okay, okay, then I won't sell them. You can take them away quickly."
Then, Zhang Wei really took them away.
But they didn't carry it very far, just under the big banyan tree, because Zhang Wei had to watch the young men cleaning the altar not to be lazy.
He put his hands behind his back and said with a straight face: "What are you asking about?"
"I'm not asking around, I just want to know what happened before my father and mother got married." Cheng Miaomiao raised his face and said unconvinced.
Zhang Wei became even more angry after hearing this.
She thinks she has too much money, right? Instead of going home to ask Cheng Er about these things, she spends money to ask outsiders, right?
Mentioning this, Cheng Miaomiao nervously tugged on the village chief's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Has Dad ever liked Aunt Zhou Xing?"
So, what should her mother-in-law do?
Auntie must also know these things. No wonder she was picked on by Aunt Zhou Xing when she came to buy tofu last time, but she didn't fight back. Is this the legendary suppression by her ex?
Zhang Wei lowered his head and looked at the little carrot head in front of him, his face wrinkled into a ball.
Her little expression was vivid, with the words "I'm so worried" written all over her face. He felt angry and funny at the same time. In the end, he couldn't help but reached out and pinched her soft face, and sighed:
"No."
Cheng Lin has been like a piece of wood since he was a child. His mind is full of how to work more and make more money.
This made Zhang Wei initially suspect that he would remain inexperienced for the rest of his life.
After Zhou Xing expressed her love to him on the sacrificial day, Zhang Wei went out of his way to ask him what he thought because of his good relationship with him. As a result, Cheng Lin said at that time, "She came to ask me what I thought of her. I
He said you were a nice person, and then she ran away. This person is really strange."
"..."
Zhang Wei still doesn't understand his thoughts.
Zeng Ziji was so shocked that his eyes widened.
His uncle told him before that this, this kind of words is the implicit consent between men and women.
Cheng Miaomiao thought about it seriously and felt that her father's reaction was normal, so she looked at the village chief in confusion and asked, "What does Aunt Zhou Xing mean by this question?"
A hint of confusion also flashed in Ji Huai's eyes.
Zhang Wei met three pairs of eyes that were thirsty for knowledge. He couldn't help coughing slightly and said vaguely: "That's what I meant. Anyway, your father didn't have that intention for her, so he never thought about getting married to Lady Xing."
"The things Mrs. Xing gave him every now and then, he later found a way to return them all."
Cheng Lin couldn't figure out why she always came around to give things to him, but he also knew that there was no reward for no reward. Every time he returned something, he had to seriously emphasize that you should not give it away again, which could easily misunderstand others.
God knows how Zhang Wei felt when he heard him say these words.
Boy, that’s a village beauty!
The village belle is trying to be courteous to you, but you say it bothers you??
The fact is, this caused other people to misunderstand.
During that time, Cheng Lin only felt that the people in the village looked at him differently. It wasn't until one day that someone asked him when he was going to Zhou's family to pay the betrothal gift, and Zhou Xing also came to him and asked when he could marry her.
When I got home and asked, I found that Mrs. Zhao had talked with the Zhou family a long time ago, but they had not reached an agreement.
Moreover, the Cheng family did not want him to marry and have children.
Of course, he didn't want to think about it himself, so he made it clear to Zhou Xing the next day.
The Cheng family saved him when he was still a swaddling baby, and brought him up safely instead of throwing him away. So in the first twenty years of his life, he only thought about one thing - how to repay this kindness.
?
Many people told him that of course he should repay his life-saving kindness by acting like an ox or a horse.
Cheng Lin thought to himself, then he would just be the Cheng family's ox and horse.
Cheng Lin has never thought about getting married, nor has he ever thought that he would give his little love to others, because just living a good life has consumed a lot of his energy.
Until that day I met Ye Ning in the town.
