Seeing his daughter's disobedience and filial piety, Mr. Tong, as if he had been possessed by a wild man, was so angry that he was trembling all over, so he also became ruthless and ordered his daughter to be placed under house arrest. Prepare for her marriage. Tong Yu'er was angry and impatient, and at first she dragged her mother to cry and beg, but although Mrs. Tong loved her daughter, she also knew that her husband's approach was the best for her, so she kindly persuaded her. Tong Yu'er was helpless and went on a hunger strike to resist. The mother finally relented when she saw the "injustice" and cried, but Master Tong was even more annoyed, and said coldly, "Even if you die, you have to get married on the bridal sedan chair!"
One sentence finally completely cut off Tong Yuer's thoughts. After crying a lot, she finally ate slowly. Mrs. Tong was secretly happy when she saw that she had finally figured it out, and she relaxed a little bit in her precautions. So, finally in such a heavy rainy weather, Tong Yu'er managed to escape from the house and went to find Miao Chuhe.
How could Miao Chuhe not be in a hurry? But Tong Yu'er is a weak girl, and she was spoiled and spoiled as a young lady from a rich family. What can she do without her maid? Even if he escapes, he will be found by the Tong family soon. So Miao Chuhe made a decisive decision and took her to her sister's house.
He thought, firstly, my sister is kind-hearted and loves him; secondly, my sister was also forced into marriage back then, so she will probably sympathize with Yu'er; as long as he begs hard, my sister will definitely help them. Who knew that it caused my sister to be so angry...
Everyone sympathized with Mr. Bi Wu's sigh, Lu Zhong frowned slightly and remained silent, but Miao Cuilan stared at Miao Chuhe with a cold face and said angrily to Mr. Wu: "Mr. Wu, you Did you hear that? Tell me, what is this?"
"elder sister!"
"Chuhe, your sister is right. You are confused about this matter." Mr. Wu said slowly: "You two have no marriage certificate and no matchmaker certificate. This is elopement! If the Tong family finds you , You can sue the government with a lawsuit, but your future is ruined! Even if you don't care about your future and fame, you elope away from Guxi Town with Miss Tong, but these days of wandering around the world, hiding your name and making your home in the world, are not so It’s easy. Don’t talk about anything else, just talk about the seven things of getting up early and opening the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, do you think your life is just a romantic life? Miss Tong is used to living a life of wealth and leisure, and you have never made a living. You don’t even know how to look at the scales, are you sure you can afford her? Hehe, I think you can’t even support yourself! Don’t tell me that you are full of water, only you have experienced it yourself to know that it is unrealistic The days will be long in the future, can you guarantee that your hearts are still as firm as they are now? At that time, it will not be worthwhile to regret and become a resentful spouse! Even if you can barely survive, you will never see the light in your life, Chuhe, you will never There is no way to give Miss Tong an honorable name, she will be despised and ridiculed by the world, you will not be able to recognize your ancestors in your life, and you will be a lonely ghost after death! Not only you, but your children are also illegitimate children , he will be inferior and unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life! You really think it through clearly and insist on doing this?"
After hearing these words, Miao Chuhe and Tong Yuer's faces were pale, cold sweat broke out, and their bodies were completely cold!
Every word of Mr. Wu's words was like a knife, and every word saw blood, cutting their hearts vividly. But they couldn't refute even half a word, because they knew very well that Mr. Wu was telling the truth.
They don't need to care about the hard work in the future, and they also believe that as long as the two of them are together, no matter how difficult it is, it will be sweet, and no matter how difficult it is, they will definitely survive. But-
Miao Chuhe couldn't accept that she would not be able to give her beloved woman a title for the rest of her life, let her suffer so much and be scorned by the world, and after she died, she would be a lonely ghost with nowhere to go! How could Tong Yu'er have the heart to make him have to give up his great future and wander the world with her? And the future child, the illegitimate child, she shuddered, how could she bear it!
Miao Cuilan secretly heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Originally, she was worried that Mr. Wu would speak for them, but now it's all over. Mr. Wu's words are orderly and reasonable, and they can't stand scrutiny even if they don't give up. no more! She glanced at them coldly, and she had made up her mind.
Tong Yu'er stood up lightly, bowed her head and said in a shy voice: "I was the one who was abrupt about today's matter. I'm sorry! I, I understand, I, I'll go back now..."
"Yu'er!" Miao Chuhe was anxious.
"Don't talk about it!" Tong Yu'er endured the tears that were about to burst into her eyes, and said softly: "This Mr. Wu is right, we think things are too simple. I, I have thought about it, the kind of wandering around , Living in a difficult life without a fixed place, I must not be used to it, rather than regret it in the future, it is better to look back now! I, I should go! Farewell!"
Tong Yu'er turned around and wanted to run towards the door.
"Yu'er!" Miao Chuhe pulled her arm, his eyes were full of sadness and pain. He knew it wasn't her sincere words, he knew it wasn't, he knew she didn't want to hinder his future, but what's the use
Tong Yuer froze slightly but didn't turn her head back, she just said softly: "Chuhe, let go! Can you give me a title? After following you, can I stand up to others in the future?"
Miao Chuhe was stunned, feeling as heavy as a lead weight on his heart, so hard to breathe. The hand on her arm fell weakly, and she stood there numbly, no longer having the strength to leave her behind.
The moment his hand left her arm, she felt as if her whole body was empty, as if her soul had gone with him, as if she would never see each other again, never meet again for the rest of her life. She really wanted to look back at him again, even if it was just one look. But she didn't dare, she was afraid that once she turned her head and saw him, she would not be able to move anymore, and she was even more afraid that she would lose control and cry out.
Tong Yu'er gritted her teeth and ran out, splashing water, and quickly disappeared into the twilight.
Miao Cuilan sighed, stepped forward and pulled Miao Chuhe's sleeve and said softly: "It's not that my sister is cruel, you also heard what Mr. Wu said, without a marriage certificate, you can't be together! My Silly brother, doesn’t my sister want you to be well? Who told you—”Who told you to fall in love with such a girl, who asked her to discuss marriage before you win the election
Miao Cuilan's eyes turned red and she couldn't help sobbing.
"Sister, I understand." Miao Chuhe felt a little numb from the pain in his heart. He looked at Miao Cuilan and said softly, "Sister must have had a hard time back then."
Miao Cuilan was startled, her heart felt sore, she couldn't help the tears welling up in her eyes, she quickly turned around and raised her sleeves to wipe them away. In the beginning, she made Miao Chuhe so angry that she even hated Tong Yu'er, suspecting that she had seduced her brother, but seeing her leave so resolutely and seeing Miao Chuhe like this, she couldn't bear to feel sorry for her.
Mr. Wu said again: "Oh, you brothers and sisters, don't be sad! It's so late today, Miss Tong may not know the way, so hurry up and take a look, and send her away anyway! Don't make anything happen, That would be troublesome!"
Miao Chuhe's face changed slightly as if waking up from a dream, and he rushed out too.
"This boy, this is! Oh!" Miao Cuilan became anxious immediately, stomped her feet and hurriedly put on her coir raincoat and rushed out. She has to be the one who sends someone back. How can Chuhe send it? If someone sees it, it's really hard to tell!
"Let's go and have a look too!" Mr. Wu got up and pulled Lu Zhong to go.
Mr. Wu stopped again, glanced at the two little guys on the kang and said with a smile: "Little girl, do you want to go together?"
Although Lu Xiaoshu really wanted to go and see the excitement, but in such a heavy rain, if she yelled and followed, she would definitely be scolded by her mother when she turned around, so it's better—don't go...
He shook his head vigorously, "No, it's raining heavily!"
Mr. Wu started laughing, Lu Zhong called Lu Qi out of the room, asked him to accompany the two girls, and hurried away with Mr. Wu.
After a long while, the courtyard door slammed softly, footsteps were noisy, and a group of people finally came back. When the three children heard the noise, they lay down by the door and watched curiously.
Seeing Miao Cuilan supporting Tong Yu'er, who lowered her head and was sobbing, and whispering something to her in a low voice, Lu Xiaoshu's eyes widened in surprise, and his heart went against the sky! What the hell happened? Why did my mother's attitude take a 180-degree turn? And the little uncle, ouch, just now he looked like he wanted to die, but now he seems to be much more relaxed. Could it be that after going out for a while, he is doing Tongniang's work? very impressive…
It turned out that Tong Yu'er didn't even think about going back. She left the Lu's house alone and walked forward in despair. Standing on the bank of the river, looking at the turbid and turbulent water waves, she actually had the idea of suicide. Fortunately, Miao Chuhe and others arrived in time to hold her back, otherwise, if she jumped, she wouldn't be able to survive in such a rushing river.
Seeing her sweetheart chasing after her, Tong Yu'er immediately collapsed. All the previous persistence could no longer be disguised, and she threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly. Miao Chuhe is also heartbroken, who knows what will happen in the future? But if he loses her, he will never get her back, and there will never be another her in the world!
Seeing this, Miao Cuilan couldn't help sighing secretly, what else could she say at this point? This girl is fierce.
After changing clothes and tidying up, several people had to sit together to discuss again. Miao Cuilan remained silent. Her bottom line was that it was fine for the two of them to be together, but it had to be done aboveboard. Elopement was definitely not an option.
Tong Yu'er and Miao Chuhe were naturally overjoyed, but they faced difficulties in how to be upright in the future.
Tong Yu'er hesitated and said: "How about, why don't I go home and try to steal the marriage certificate?"
Miao Cuilan said angrily: "What's the use of stealing it? Can your family's marriage certificate have my family's Chuhe name written on it?" The Miao family is a small family, and Miao Cuilan's father was illiterate. The marriage letter was written by an old scholar, and Miao Cuilan only made a small plan to make the old scholar write Lu Zhong's name, her father didn't even know that it was wrong. But Tong Yuanwai can still be illiterate
