"Can't I be wrong?" Wu Er begged Yong Ruo, "Grandma, please save us quickly! I can't stand anymore!"
"What's the rush? The matter hasn't been explained yet! These years, your brothers have been thieves, haven't they?"
Yong Ruo intends to let the people in the whole alley fight against the Wu family together, lest the Wu family only hate her and make trouble for her.
She said: "Honestly, I have recruited you, and I will rescue you. Otherwise, you will stay here until dawn, and then we will go to the Yamen to report to the officials, and let the officials punish you for your crimes! Entering the house did not hurt anyone's life." Or, what kind of crime is it? It seems to be hitting the board and the shackle, right? How many boards have been beaten and how long has the shackle been?"
Wu Er was in a hurry: "I'm recruiting! I'm recruiting! Just please don't report to the officials!"
Like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, he confessed his theft experience.
More and more people gathered around, and some elderly women also came to watch the fun, so people kept asking them: Did you steal everything from my house
Wu Da and Wu Er only wanted to get out quickly, even if they couldn't remember anything that was not too serious, they would admit it, and promised to double the compensation, Yong Ruo agreed to let them out.
Yong Ruo asked someone to bring some long benches, removed a small piece of fence, and passed the benches in from a distance.
"I don't even dare to step on this fence! You guys should sit on the bench, lick your hands and feet, and then slowly move out of the bench!" she said with a smile.
Wu Da and Wu Er had no choice but to sit on the bench, screaming and pulling their hands and feet off the ground. Sitting on the bench again, curled up with bloody hands and feet, slowly moved out of the fence area little by little.
Yong Ruo asked Qin Dayong and others to carry Wu Da and Wu Er home. It's been going on for a while, and she doesn't want her home to be peaceful anymore.
Qin Dayong said: "Okay! I was also about to ask the women of the Wu family: Do they know that these two brothers are thieves? Don't they know how to be disciplined and persuaded?!"
Yong Ruo said: "The elder brothers go first! My mother is still sick, and the two younger brothers are still young. I will go to see if they are not scared, and then go to Wu's house to watch the excitement!"
She plans to stay at Wu's house for a while. The wounds of the Wu family brothers are so deep that they are easily infected. She has to remind the Wu family to debride the wounds of the brothers so that they will suffer more while trying to save their lives.
In this era, only salt water and shochu can be used for debridement. No matter which one is used, it will be very painful, very painful... There is no anesthetic for them now!
Yong Ruo didn't want to get human life on his hands. The two brothers are not guilty of death.
—————
At dawn, the hustle and bustle of the night in Mopan Hutong finally came to an end, and it returned to tranquility again.
When Yongruo returned home, Yongqiao had already made porridge. Although she was a little tired, she had no time to catch up on sleep.
After washing up hastily, drank a bowl of porridge, ate a snack, told Yong Qiao to take care of Zhou Shi and Yong Miao, and then she went out.
According to Zhou's order, she had to invite a matchmaker back today to marry her.
Naturally, now is not a good time to talk about kissing, but what the imperial physician said before and the burglar at home last night made Mrs. Zhou make up her mind to say goodbye to Yongqiao and Miao in advance!
Yong Ruo understands Zhou's meaning: In this era, if the marriage is established, it is considered as in-laws. With in-laws, at least one or two of them can be taken care of, so that the three of their siblings won't be quietly killed, kidnapped and sold without being held accountable.
But she doesn't intend to do exactly what Zhou wants! She has no objection to blind date, engagement or even marriage, but she will choose someone according to her own ideas.
From a utilitarian point of view, in order not to let the golden finger of Lulu be abolished, she needs to marry someone with a higher family background as much as possible, so that she can get access to various sterilization drugs and get enough sex. System credits.
In terms of her own wishes, she needs a family that doesn't matter if she doesn't have children as her husband's family.
She has always been a very sensible person.
In modern society, she dislikes straight men with cancer and mothers, and would rather be single than give in.
But in this era, the mainstream of the whole society is composed of straight male cancer and mother boy, not straight male cancer and mother boy, that is a "wonderful flower" in society. In such a society, she does not have any good illusions about love and marriage, so what reason does she have to have children
To perpetuate genes
No! She doesn't care whether her or others' genes can be passed on!
In order to have something to rely on in the future
No! She will not pin whether she is happy in life or poor in her later years on whether she has children, and she does not need to have children for such utilitarian reasons.
Besides, what's the point of having a child in such a society
Needless to say, if she gave birth to a daughter, she would be bullied. Even a man can't help but say: "Don't be a woman in life, and the bitterness and joy of a hundred years will be left to others."①
If I give birth to a son and develop straight male cancer, I will want to strangle him; if I don’t develop straight male cancer, he will become an outlier in society, feel lonely, depressed, and maybe even hate my education for him . She can be an outlier by herself, because she is strong enough in her heart to withstand criticism and white eyes, and she also knows how to disguise and cover up so as not to be criticized too much, but she can't just watch her children be out of tune with society and be despised and attacked by people around them , exclusion.
Therefore, even if she has the cheating device of Lulu, as long as she has enough points, she can give birth without risk... She doesn't want to give birth at all!
Since she doesn't want to have children, she needs to choose her husband's family carefully! In order not to be a servant and a tool to vent their desires for a few years in vain, and then be purged and left the house.
The matchmaker Zhou asked to find, known as Aunt Gu, was an old acquaintance of the Zhou family.
According to Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Gu has a trustworthy character and would not do such things as defrauding both parties in order to get a few money from the matchmaker.
After finding Aunt Gu, Yongruo hired a car to take her back to Zhou's house according to Zhou's instructions.
After seeing Zhou's appearance, Aunt Gu was taken aback, and said regretfully, "How did you become like this?"
Yong Ruo moved a clean stool and let Aunt Gu sit down in front of the bed. He also sent Yongqiao and Yongmiao to the kitchen to cook brown sugar eggs for Mrs. Gu, and don't go into the fence. She herself stood quietly aside, as an audience.
Zhou smiled wryly: "The doctor said that I have run out of fuel, and the days left are not many. I have to arrange my funeral earlier! I am not afraid of death. I will be relieved when I die. I don't have to suffer from this pain anymore. I can still be reunited with my dead ghost and my eldest son! I just... don't worry about the remaining three..." As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Aunt Gu was even more sympathetic. She moved the stool she was sitting on to the side of the bed, and grabbed Mrs. Zhou's skinny hand: "Then you came to me..."
Zhou controlled her emotions, forced a smile, and said her plan: "If they get married, at least they will have a father-in-law's family and a father-in-law's family to rely on. This will prevent weak girls from being bullied and wandering to nowhere! "
She held Aunt Gu's hand tightly: "My good sister, please help me this time for the sake of past love!"
"It's natural!" Aunt Gu said without hesitation, "I just wonder what kind of family you want to find for them?"
Zhou then told Yongruo: "Go to the kitchen and watch your brother boil water, don't let him burn down the house!" He wanted to send Yongruo out.
How could Yong Ruo let her go! Quickly said: "Qiaoqiao is better than me at making a fire and boiling water. How can I burn down the house? Mother is talking to Mrs. Gu, how can it be done without anyone around? I will serve the elders here!"
Zhou smiled and panted slightly: "We want to talk about your marriage. You are here, afraid that you will panic!"
"Don't worry, mother! I have a thick skin, and I'm not afraid of shame!" She resolutely refused to leave.
Aunt Gu let out a "puchi" laugh, and took a look at Yong Ruo who was calm and composed: "She is a girl with ideas! I think she can stand up to it! She is also beautiful... She is your daughter, and she should be able to write and count." Bar?"
Zhou showed a little sincere smile: "I taught her a little bit. This girl is considered smart, I know it, and she has learned it."
"That's good! With her conditions, even if she comes from a poorer family, she can still climb a little higher! How old is Ruo girl?"
"She was born on the tenth day of August in the Jiachen year. She is fourteen years old this year."
"Oh? The year of the dragon and the month of the rooster?" Aunt Gu raised her eyebrows, "Can my sister tell me Ruo girl's birth date?"
"She was born in Jiachen year, Dingyou month, Guiyou day, and Renchen. What's wrong?"
Gu Auntie listened and counted with her fingers: "Born in the year of the dragon, the rooster moon, the rooster day, and the time of the dragon... the five elements are complete... water fate, and Mr. Yang happens to be short of water in his life..."
She slapped her thigh excitedly: "It's a perfect match!" She said to the puzzled Mrs. Zhou, "I have a very good marriage here, it just depends on whether you agree or not."
Zhou's eyes lit up, he raised his upper body slightly, and asked nervously and expectantly, "What marriage?"
