Miao Cuilan pointed at Tong Yu'er, and said sadly: "You are running away with someone! Is this something a scholar can do? If the girl's family finds out and sues you for kidnapping in the yamen, you will still think about it in the future. Is it a merit test!"
"Sister!" Miao Chuhe turned pale.
"Stop talking!" Tong Yu'er's face was pale, and the skin that had become cold from the wind and rain could not stop the shame rising in her heart, she only felt her face and neck was hot.
Tong Yu'er's eyes were full of tears, and she choked with tears and said: "It's me—I didn't think carefully! I, your sister is right, I shouldn't hurt you by myself! I'm sorry, I'm leaving now!"
Tong Yu'er covered her face with one hand and turned to run, but Miao Chuhe tightly held her arm, "Sister, I beg you to help me, help us! Yu'er is a good girl, me, me and her The two love each other—"
"Shut up!" Miao Cuilan was so angry when she heard this, she slapped Miao Chuhe's face with a slap, and she said in a trembling voice, "You, you are going to die of anger. Me? You're going to piss me off, aren't you!"
In the heavy rainy day, brothers didn't even wait for the academy to bring the girl here in a hurry. He asked her where her home was and which girl she belonged to but refused to say. It can be seen that there must be some shady business in this. How could Miao Cuilan not hate her
Miao Chuhe was stunned, and the hot feeling on his face reminded him that the slap his sister gave just now was a genuine slap. The elder sister who loved him and protected him since he was a child, let alone touching him, slapped him in the face even if he said something serious!
Miao Chuhe was in pain and distress. He could hardly accept the fact, but he held Tong Yu'er's hand even tighter, and said to Miao Cuilan: "My sister was so determined to go to her brother-in-law back then. Ordinary women are different, they will definitely help me, it seems that I was wrong! I'm sorry sister, I, let's go now! Sister, I must marry Yu'er, I'm sorry, I failed my sister's expectations, in the future If I can repay my sister, it will be my blessing, if not, I will do my best to repay my sister in the next life!"
After Miao Chuhe finished speaking, he pulled Tong Yuer and the two of them knelt down and kowtowed to Miao Cuilan.
"You, you, you are really promising, you are really promising!" Miao Cuilan's heart ached, like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, the pain made her chest so tight that she could hardly breathe, her face turned blue and turned white , Qi and blood surged to the forehead. She swayed, leaned on the pillar and tremblingly said: "Okay, good! Very good!"
She took a deep breath, stared at Miao Chuhe and said slowly: "You are wrong, Chuhe. Your sister and I are not as courageous as this girl! I have a marriage certificate! If you have a marriage certificate, then I have nothing to say, but do you have any?"
Although she has no education and has never studied, how can she be vague about the major events of her life, and how can she not hold her head up for the rest of her life? Although she had to resort to some tricks to get the marriage certificate from her father back then, that marriage certificate was her life's guarantee! With the marriage certificate, she is the upright wife of her husband Lu Zhong, so she can stand upright in front of everyone and speak confidently!
But what is Miss Tong, does she have it? Without a marriage certificate, it is like losing the backbone of a human being. She will never be able to hold her head up in her entire life! How could her brother not be sad when he said such words unexpectedly
"Okay, what's the matter!" After Lu Zhong finished cooking the dishes in the pot, he heard that there seemed to be a commotion outside, so he hurriedly turned off the fire and came out. Seeing his wife trembling slightly, he was obviously very angry, and then seeing his brother-in-law and a strange girl kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help being surprised.
"Cuilan, what happened? Don't worry, talk about things slowly! It's raining so hard, let's go into the house, find clothes and let Chuhe change with this girl—" Lu Zhong hurriedly supported his wife and said with concern .
"You're less of a good person!" Miao Cuilan felt even more uncomfortable when she heard her husband's soft words and gentle words. Where is my sister, what is your brother-in-law! Let him go! From now on, I don’t care whether he lives or dies, anyway, no one will appreciate my good intentions, I really deserve it!" He covered his face and wept.
"Cuilan! Cuilan!" Lu Zhong patted her on the back lightly to comfort her a few times, then frowned at Miao Chuhe and said, "Chuhe, what's going on? How could you make your sister mad?" Like this! Do you know how much she has paid for you all these years?"
"Brother-in-law, I—" Miao Chuhe was also very sad, and couldn't say a word because of something in his heart. Why didn't he understand what brother-in-law said? But let him give up what he loves, he absolutely can't do it!
"Hey, what's going on here! This-cough, did I come at the wrong time?" The side was frozen, and saw the gate of the fenced yard flashing. Mr. Wu was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat. The wooden clogs were coming in, and they were startled when they saw this.
Miao Cuilan hurriedly wiped away her tears, calmed down by two points, and barely called out "Mr. Wu!" Lu Zhong frowned at the two kneeling on the ground and said in a low voice: "Get up soon, let's talk about something when we get up!" Then Turning to Mr. Wu, he said with a smile: "Mr. Wu would laugh at such a trivial matter, but fortunately, Mr. Wu is not an outsider."
Mr. Wu went to the corridor, took off the bamboo hat, untied the coir raincoat, kicked off the wooden clogs, glanced at the expressions of everyone, and understood half a dozen points in his heart, then smiled and said: "You don't treat me as an outsider, and I don't treat myself as an outsider. You’re an outsider! It’s windy and windy in this porch, come in quickly! Let’s talk about things slowly when you enter the house! Chuhe and this girl are both wet, so hurry up and change, in case of cold, it’s not good Already!"
"Yes, yes, let's enter the house!" Lu Zhong pushed Miao Cuilan.
Miao Cuilan let out a "hum" and turned around angrily, and saw that three people, big and small, were holding on to the door frame and looking out curiously for an unknown amount of time. Unconsciously, she rushed up again, and said with a sullen face: "What are you doing here? If you don't let me go in, let me go back to my room! Do you hear that! Aqi, have you done your homework? Book Can you memorize it? Mr. Wu is here! There are you two, why are you running! How dare you run!"
When Lu Qi saw his mother's expression, he quickly shrank back and went back to the room. Lu Xiaoshu was watching with relish just now, how could he just avoid going back to the room like this? Hearing that Niang hurriedly pulled her sister back and ran away, she couldn't wait to climb onto the kang and huddled in a corner.
Miao Cuilan caught up and saw the two daughters staring nervously at her with big black eyes. She was so annoyed and funny, she said with a sullen face, "Come out! Go back to the room with brother to play!"
Of course, the things to be said later cannot be heard by the children.
But how could Lu Xiaoshu, who was watching half of the fun, be willing to leave? Hearing his mother call "Come out", he pulled his sister back inside, looked at Miao Cuilan and said, "Mother, we will be good."
Miao Cuilan didn't have much extra thought to deal with them at this time, so she gave up when she heard her say that, and said, "Then just sit down and don't move or talk nonsense!"
"Yeah!" Lu Xiaoshu nodded happily. Xiaoxue couldn't help turning her head to look at the second sister, blinked her eyes, and didn't quite understand what she was so happy about.
"Cuilan, let them change their clothes first, don't really make them fall ill." Lu Zhong said softly.
Miao Cuilan glanced at Tong Yu'er with unkind eyes, and could only grunt reluctantly, "Come with me!"
Tong Yu'er has a thin skin, she was a little hesitant when she heard the words, she couldn't help but secretly looked towards Miao Chuhe. Miao Chuhe was overjoyed, he quickly pushed her and said in a low voice: "My sister is calling you, hurry up and go with my sister." His sister had a sharp mouth, and he knew that she would not really ignore his brother.
For a while, both of them changed their clothes and came out. Miao Cuilan sat down on the edge of the kang and said with a cold face, "Tell me, what else do you have to say!" Seeing Miao Chuhe's slightly red and swollen cheeks, Miao Cuilan felt distressed again Angry and resentful, he said bitterly: "I really owed you in my previous life, you won't be reconciled if you don't torture me to death!"
"Sister!" Miao Chuhe's eyes flashed guilt and pain, and his face turned pale.
"Cuilan, don't be sad, the matter hasn't been clarified yet!" Lu Zhong persuaded his wife, and then said to Miao Chuhe, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Miao Chuhe agreed, and then explained the matter in detail.
It turned out that Tong Yuer was the daughter of Tong Yuanwai in Tongjia Village, a suburb of Guxi Town. Tong Yuer and Miao Chuhe met by accident more than a year ago. The two fell in love at first sight. Miao Chuhe promised her that he would study hard and ask the Tong family to marry her after winning the Juren. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, a matchmaker came to Tong Yuer's door to talk about marriage. Tong Yuer was shocked when she heard her mother talking about it, so she naturally refused to die. Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Tong only thought that she was a girl's shy excuse and didn't take it seriously. She was busy preparing to get engaged.
Tong Yu'er was really in a hurry now, so she had to bite the bullet and half-confided the truth to her mother, only saying that she had a sweetheart, and he would not marry in this life. Mrs. Tong was taken aback and hurriedly told her husband. Master Tong was so surprised that he was so angry that he asked his daughter which man seduced her? Tong Yu'er did not expect her father's attitude to be so fierce, how dare she say Miao Chuhe's name? No matter how furious he was, he would threaten and reprimand him, but he would not say anything, only that he was sincere to himself, and that he would definitely never marry anyone else in this life.
