Wang Dabao went to his sister's house yesterday. He originally planned to get some money back, but when he got the money, he was taken back before it was warmed up. Seeing that his brother-in-law looked wrong, he couldn't care less , ran back home quickly.
Xu Meihua was waiting for her man to come back with the money to discuss her daughter's marriage. She knew that she was an older sister, and as long as her man left, she would get 100% of the money back.
However, this time it was beyond Xu Meihua's expectations. Not to mention that the money was not returned, Wang Dabao seemed to have been beaten.
Xu Meihua exploded immediately, clamoring to settle accounts with Wang Zhaodi: "Dabao, why did you become like this? Did the elder sister's family beat you? They are so unreasonable, why should they do anything to you? No, I will You have to talk about it."
If it was someone else's family, Xu Meihua would not dare to have such courage, but the situation of Wang Zhaodi's family is different.
Not to mention that Wang Zhaodi had given their family whatever they wanted in the past, which had whetted their appetites, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with taking money from Wang Zhaodi.
Besides, Wang Zhaodi's second son was able to go to the restaurant in the county town to do work because of Wang Dabao's relationship. The kid is two coins a month.
What's more, there is a scholar in the Wang family, who has already passed the examination as a scholar, and the scholar will eventually become famous. If something happens, the scholar Qi Qingfeng will be ashamed.
For various reasons, Wang Dabao and his family thought it was normal to ask Wang Zhaodi for money from top to bottom.
Where did Wang Dabao get beaten? The injury on his body was caused by an accidental fall when he came back. Although he also felt guilty for not getting the money this time, he couldn't blame his sister for it anyway. .
"Forget it, this time it has nothing to do with my elder sister. She was going to give me money, but my brother-in-law bumped into her..."
After Wang Dabao's persuasion, Xu Meihua stopped thinking about going to Wang Zhaodi to settle accounts, but the family had no money, and if she didn't get money as soon as possible, her daughter's dowry would be shabby when she got married.
Wang Dabao thought for a while and said: "Don't worry about this matter, I will find a way."
Although Xu Meihua was aggressive, the man who was in charge of the house was a man. She moved her mouth, but after all, she didn't say anything.
But that night, because the money was not brought back, the air pressure in the house was very low. After eating, the daughter-in-law Lin Xiaoju carried the child back to the room. Only Wang Dabao's son Wang Zhijie and daughter Wang Rongrong were left on the table.
Wang Zhijie is already 20 years old this year, he has a big shoulder and a round waist, and he has a lot of strength.
Wang Rongrong is seventeen years old this year, and she was born beautiful and elegant. Because of her good embroidery skills, she embroiders at home all the year round and rarely goes out to see the sun. Therefore, she has a white skin that is exposed to frost and snow. People say that one hundred covers one hundred ugly. To put it bluntly, it makes the appearance more delicate.
It is also because of such outstanding appearance that Wang Rongrong was attracted by the son of a cloth shop owner in the county when she was selling embroidery, saying that she wanted to marry back to fill the house.
Although Wang Dabao is a bit of a scumbag, he is justified in picking up his own sister, but when it comes to treating the two children, he doesn't have any patriarchal thoughts.
Moreover, Wang Rongrong is good-looking and has good embroidery skills, which can bring a lot of benefits to the family. Although this time it is said that he is going to fill in people's houses, but the husband's family is from the county seat, and the family runs two cloth workshops. Although it is not a wealthy family, the conditions in the village are still much better.
So Wang Dabao thought about preparing a generous dowry for Wang Rongrong, so that after marrying into someone else's family, he could also stand upright.
The family didn't have enough money, so Wang Dabao wanted to go to Wang Zhaodi to get some back for emergency, but it turned out like this.
Wang Dabao didn't hide this matter, and told his two children.
Wang Rongrong picked up the handkerchief embroidered with small flowers, and gently wiped the corners of her mouth. When she heard this, her hands paused, and then she said in a soft voice: "Isn't it just a tael of silver? If you don't get it, forget it. Turn around and song There should be a lot of betrothal gifts from my family, and they will all be used as dowry for me."
After Wang Zhijie heard this, his face sank in an instant: "How can it be done? Our family has raised you, if you take away the dowry, what will happen?"
The family conditions are not very good, the Song family should give a lot of dowry, according to Wang Zhijie's idea, keep more than half of them, and the rest can be used as a dowry for Wang Rongrong, which is basically the way to marry a girl nowadays , besides, the Song family already knew what was going on with the Wang family, so there was no need to pretend to be rich.
Wang Rongrong's voice was very soft, but her attitude was very firm: "That's not good, the position of the young mistress of the Song family is not so easy to do. If I don't have some money to hang around, my life will not be easy in the future. You are in the village. It won’t cost much, so I’d better take it all.”
Watching the two siblings quarreling over this matter, Wang Dabao and Xu Meihua were exhausted, their palms and backs were full of meat, and they couldn't bear to say anything, and after finally being persuaded, they were in no mood to continue the meal. eat it.
Wang Dabao had something in his mind, so he woke up early the next morning. He originally planned to go to Taohua Village to find Wang Zhaodi again today, to see if he could raise some money, but as soon as he opened the gate of the courtyard, he saw There stood an old man who looked like a fairy.
Nowadays, people firmly believe in the theory of fortune-telling. When they meet a fortune-teller, they must hug each other, and Wang Dabao is no exception. Especially this fortune-teller looks like a fairy, and he looks very If he was capable, he naturally invited the other party in respectfully.
This fortune teller is naturally Qi Huang in disguise, he came here this time to find out what happened back then from Wang Dabao.
You must know that after Wang Dabao's mother rescued the down-and-out noble lady, when she was found and picked up by her family, she also gave the Wang family a lot of benefits. One of the richest households in the village.
The turning point of the Wang family's fate was all because of the other party. With their family's personality, they would not fail to mention this matter. Qi Wang came here because he wanted to inquire about some details of the year.
Qi Wang has traveled through countless worlds, even a fairy has done it, and it is easy for him to pretend to be a magic stick, but he showed a few tricks, and Wang Dabao soon convinced him.
Qi Wang followed Wang Dabao's words and said a few words, then calmly led Wang Dabao to talk about what happened twenty years ago.
At that time, Wang Dabao was already eighteen years old, and his son Wang Zhijie was also born at that time, but Wang Zhijie was a month older than the original owner. At that time, Wang Zhaodi would come to Wang's house with a big belly. Attended my nephew's full moon feast.
"From looking at your face, you were born poor all your life, but when you were eighteen years old, your fate took a turn. Because you met a nobleman, you broke away from the established fate."
After a pause, Qi Wang continued: "Can you tell me what happened eighteen years ago? I can't figure it out because I'm poor and have little knowledge."
Wang Dabao didn't expect Qi Wang to be able to figure this out, so he hurriedly said: "The Taoist priest has a clever plan, my fate was indeed changed eighteen years ago."
In fact, eighteen years ago, the late emperor was ill, and several princes fought for the throne. In addition, natural disasters occurred frequently at that time, the people were miserable, and refugee riots frequently occurred.
At that time, Wang Dabao was already eighteen years old, his wife married and had a child, and even though his parents were still there, his elder sister would often subsidize him, but life at home was still difficult. It's not that easy to eat well.
It was at that time that the Queen Mother rescued a pregnant woman and came back.
At that time, Wang Dabao didn't understand his mother's actions. After all, his family's life was so hard, and he brought back a person who lived on nothing. He didn't know what she wanted to do.
It was later that his mother told him that the woman was separated from her family. Judging by her attire, her family should be very good. They rescued her in a crisis, and the benefits in the future will definitely be indispensable.
Wang Dabao also felt that this was the reason, so he acquiesced to let the other party stay, and tried his best to treat her well.
When the woman lived for about half a month, she activated it when her son was full moon, and not long after, a baby boy was born.
"The woman is weak, so the boys are all taken care of by my mother. My mother is kind-hearted and takes good care of them."
After hearing what Wang Dabao said, Qi Duan's eyes darkened, and he said slowly, "Was your sister also at your home at that time?"
When Wang Dabao heard the words, his eyes widened involuntarily, and he blurted out: "Master Daoist, you are so powerful that you even figured out this."
He nodded again and again, and said: "My eldest sister is here to give the full moon gift, who knows that it was so unfortunate that she also activated it that day, thanks to her good luck, otherwise, the adult and the child may not be safe." gone."
Speaking of what happened that day, Wang Dabao still had lingering fears. He was brought up by Wang Zhaodi, and he still had some affection for his sister. If something really happened to Wang Zhaodi, Wang Dabao would also be sad.
Qi Wang's gaze fell on Wang Dabao's face all the time, and he asked abruptly: "Then do you know about your eldest sister exchanging your little nephew with that noble lady's son?"
As soon as this remark came out, Wang Dabao's face showed a little panic, and subconsciously retorted: "I don't know, Daoist, there is no such thing."
However, Wang Dabao's reaction has already told Qi Wang what the answer is. Obviously, he should know that Wang Zhaodi exchanged two children.
If this is the case, it can explain the things that Qi Wang had been puzzled before.
Wang Zhaodi really loved this younger brother very much, and often supplemented him, but Qi Wang smelled something unusual from the fact that Wang Zhaodi gave Wang Dabao a tael of silver all at once.
This era is different from modern times. The concept of obeying the father at home and obeying the husband when married is deeply rooted. After a woman in this era gets married, basically all her thoughts will be on her husband and children, and her in-laws will look after her to supplement her mother’s family. Things like this seldom happen, and even if it is really subsidized, it will not be like Wang Zhaodi.
Wang Zhaodi treated Wang Dabao too "generously", almost every time he came to ask for money, he would take it away, and every time Wang Zhaodi gave a lot of money.
This is obviously very abnormal, not to mention anything else, Wang Zhaodi's family has a scholar like Qi Qingfeng, so the expenses are not small. The whole family has paid a lot for Qi Qingfeng's examination results. Naturally, the more money the better at this time Yes, how can I take it out and give it to Wang Dabao.
However, if Wang Dabao knew Wang Zhaodi's secret, and was likely to use this as an excuse, then everything would make sense.
The original owner's life experience is not simple, Wang Zhaodi may know more about the original owner's biological parents, otherwise she would not have informed Qi Qingfeng of the original owner's identity before going to the capital, and she would not have pretended in front of outsiders for so many years The deputy treated the original owner very well, and Qi Qingfeng would not think twice about solving the original owner quietly.
So she had no choice but to be the "brother support demon" and help her younger brother without restriction.
After figuring out these joints, Qi Wang's eyes flickered slightly, and his face sank immediately. He looked at Wang Dabao with heavy eyes, and didn't speak, but the real eyes made Wang Dabao's scalp go numb. His body trembled intermittently, he pursed his lips, and said in a lingering voice: "Master Dao, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Wang directly interrupted Wang Dabao: "Do you know what you have done? No wonder I see that you are covered by dark clouds, and you are afraid of bloody disasters. It turns out that is the reason."
Wang Dabao was illiterate and had no culture, but he still understood the dark clouds covering the top and the bloody disaster. After hearing what Qi Wang said, his legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground. His mouth opened and closed, and he finally found it after a long time He returned his own voice: "Daozhang, what do you mean? I didn't do anything harmful, how could this be? I'm not..."
In the end, Wang Dabao became incoherent. Qi Wang's fortune-telling was so accurate just now that Wang Dabao has completely convinced the other party. Now the other party says that he has a bloody disaster on the top of the dark clouds. I am afraid that his life will not be long. How can he stay calm? down? He could only keep begging for mercy, wanting Qi Huang to save him.
Wang Dabao begged for mercy too loudly, all the Wang family members who were still sleeping got up and came to the courtyard, when they saw the immortal Taoist priest standing in the courtyard, they were taken aback for a moment, and then I saw the man kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
Xu Meihua was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Master, what happened? What's wrong with you?"
Wang Zhijie and Lin Xiaoju were also taken aback, and hurried over to help Wang Dabao, but Wang Dabao was upset at this moment, he couldn't care about others, he begged Qi Wang, hoping that he could save his life.
Qi Huang said coldly: "Do you know that a person's luck has a definite number, if he enjoys the luck that doesn't belong to him, he will be punished by God. If you ruined the lives of two people, that is to say, you forged their fates, and this evil force will be returned to you yourself."
Qi Wang said, raised his finger and pointed at Wang Rongrong who came out of the room, raised his voice and said: "Do you think that the past twenty years have been passed in peace because the injustice has not yet come to you? Then you are a big mistake. What a mistake, now your retribution has arrived."
"Do you think that your daughter's life is good enough to marry into a rich family as a regular wife? Do you know how the wife of the man who fell in love with her died? She was beaten to death. That man is inhumane." , Suspicious all day long, suspected that his wife was unfaithful, and finally hit a heavy hand and beat his first wife to death!"
This time, not to mention Wang Dabao who was still kneeling on the ground, even Wang Rongrong's face changed after she came out, she looked at Qi Wang in horror, unable to speak for a long time.
That man killed his wife? How is this possible
