Less than half an hour later, the carriage returned to the end of the village.
Nalan Jinnian handed the basket in the carriage to Wen Jiarui: "Uncle Wen, I will pick up the rough stone and sell it for you."
Wen Jiarui didn't think much about it. He admired Nalan Jinnian, so he thanked him and took the basket.
The backpack contained gifts for Qian Xiucai and a few books, which Nuan Nuan gave to the brothers for study. They planned to go to school after the spring.
Nalan Jinnian still had something to do, so he left them immediately.
Aunt Yongfu had just returned from chatting with someone when she saw a carriage entering the village. She was very curious and couldn't help but follow it to see whose house the carriage was going to. She didn't expect it to be parked at Wen Jiarui's house.
She was even more shocked when she saw Wen Jiarui helping Wenwen out of the carriage!
Is Gentle being taken back
Because the carriage stopped for a moment and then left. No one else got off except Wen Wenwen and the three of them. Moreover, the entire carriage was dark and did not look luxurious at all. It was very low-key. She thought it was Wen Jiarui who was taking Wen Wenwen home. Rented carriage.
Thinking of the reward for asking for directions, she felt a heartache!
I couldn't help but sigh: "I've made some bad money and started to show off. I even rented a carriage!"
She couldn't help but go up and gossip.
"Hey, Wen Wenhu, is this home? Did your father earn money to take you home? Or are you just going home to play for a few days?"
Wen Wen saw the person coming and called out politely: "Aunt Yongfu."
But he didn't answer her question.
Wen Jiarui was worried that she would say something bad and embarrass Wenwen, so he rushed over and said: "Wenwen will only be the daughter of my Wen family from now on. Sister-in-law Yongfu, Wenwen, just came home and is a little tired. Let's go inside first and stop talking."
At this time, the people in the house heard the noise outside and quickly opened the door and ran out. Wen Luo shouted: "Sister, I'm home!".
"Let's talk after we enter the house!" Wen Jiarui took the opportunity to help Wen Wenwen into the house.
Nuan Nuan closed the door behind him.
Just as Aunt Yongfu was about to follow her in, the bamboo door was slammed shut, and she was disappointed!
I couldn't help but let out a sigh and cursed in a low voice: "Bah, what's the big deal! What's the use of a broken shoe at home? I won't be able to get married in the future! Just wait until you become an old aunt at home!"
She cursed and turned around to leave. This is a big gossip when Wen Wenwen returns home! She has to go talk to her good sisters!
Soon the whole village knew that Wen Wenwen had been taken back!
But no one thinks highly of her, and many people think she is ruined.
Villager A: "Maybe Wen Jiarui is out of his mind. Why did he bring him back? She will be well fed and clothed at Qian's house. In the future, Mr. Qian will be admitted as a scholar and she will be the scholar's wife! If he wins the imperial examination and becomes an official, she will still be an official's wife." .”
Villager B: "That child Wen Wen is a good girl. What a pity! After all, she was someone else's wife. She lived in someone else's house for a year. Who knows what will happen? From now on, I can only find a dead wife or divorce her." The person who remarried is married!
Villager C: "I seem to have heard that Qian Xiucai has become a pawn! How prestigious! I also saw my young master walking with a very beautifully dressed girl. People in the county said that she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman. She must be Qian. The family doesn’t want her anymore, it’s so pitiful! She’s annulled, she’s just a second-hand shabby shoe, she can’t even marry a good husband!”
"None of the daughters in his family are good. One was frail and sick and was disowned, and now another one is disowned. These are always disowned. Maybe there is some reason that we don't know..."
…
Mrs. Zhu also heard what Aunt Yongfu said and curled her lips: "What are you going to do with a broken shoe? Do you want to stay at home and be an old aunt? Fortunately, you moved out. Don't affect the reputations of my sisters Wan and Yu! You bitch!" You are a bitch, even if you want to be a child bride, you will be rejected!"
Yongfu's daughter-in-law didn't stay long when she saw that Mr. Zhu had a guest. She continued to go to other people to share the gossip.
Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Zhu's natal sister-in-law, happened to be here today. After Yongfu's wife left, she rolled her turbid eyes:
"The child is his aunt. It's time for Qiangzi to get a wife. You have to help keep an eye out for any good girls! You also know Qiangzi's situation. Just find someone who is diligent and easy to deal with. The one who broke off the engagement is a good person. Just don’t look too ugly!”
Zhu was startled.
After Jiang finished speaking, she pulled a young man next to her who was fighting crickets with a bamboo tube: "Qiangzi, can you ask your aunt to find you a wife?"
Qiangzi raised his head, revealing a fair and handsome face: "Grandma, what is a daughter-in-law?"
He was eating candy in his mouth, and his voice was a bit muffled. As he spoke, saliva flowed down. He stretched out his tongue and licked it back, and then wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
"A daughter-in-law is someone who washes and cooks for you, helps you bathe, puts you to sleep, and gives birth to your children. She has to listen to you in everything!"
"Want to play with me?"
"Come on, you can play with her however you want! You can play as a horse or ride on her!"
"Then I want to get a wife. Grandma, please find me a wife! I want a good-looking wife!"
Mrs. Zhu laughed after hearing this: "Oh, my Qiangzi still knows how to find a good-looking wife! Okay, my aunt will find you a good-looking wife, just wait!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang quickly said: "The child is my aunt, so I'll leave this matter to you!"
"What are you talking about? I still don't want Qiangzi, okay?" Mrs. Zhu was very kind to her family members.
Besides, she felt bad for Qiangzi.
Mrs. Zhu pinched her eyebrows, this is not easy to handle! Just saying it won't work, unless there is some accident.
She thought for a while and then said: "In a few days, when Brother Liang gets married, remember to bring Qiangzi to the feast."
Jiang hesitated for a moment: "This Qiangzi is still a child at heart and is not sensible. There were many people at that time. Will it cause you trouble?"
"No, Qiangzi is quite obedient."
"good."
—
The Nuan family didn't know what the villagers outside were talking about.
After Murao Wenrou and his family entered the house.
Wen Wen faced Wang and Wu, knelt down and kowtowed to them: "Grandma, mother, I'm back. I've made you worry in the past two years!"
"Silly girl, get up!" Wang choked with sobs and stepped forward to help her eldest granddaughter, unable to help holding her and crying.
Wu couldn't help but stepped forward, hugged Wen Wen and kept saying, "Sister Rou, you are back!"
I don’t know who started it first. Everyone couldn’t help but hugged each other and cried bitterly.
They have suffered so much these years! too difficult!
It was not easy for everyone to calm down.
Wang's eyes were red and she held her gentle and rough hands. Those hands that were supposed to be soft were as rough as sickles and felt a bit like cutting flesh. The ten fingertips and the back of the hand are full of deep cracks, and some cracks are covered with dried blood.
The thirteen-year-old girl, because she had been doing rough work for a long time, had rough and dark skin, and the dark circles under her eyes were large and deep. She looked like a peasant woman in her twenties. She couldn't help but cursed: "That Qian Xiucai lady is a murderer with a thousand cuts." Yes, you have made my beautiful granddaughter look like this!"
As I talked, tears flowed again.
Wu's eyes were swollen, her throat was clogged with sobs, and she was so heartbroken that she couldn't speak!
This was her tenth month of pregnancy and she gave birth to a baby. She was so juicy at first, and the prettiest one in the whole country was her sister Rou!
On the contrary, the gentle mother and grandma were like this, smiling and comforting them. The more considerate and sensible she was, the more heartbroken everyone felt.
In the end, Wen Jiarui said that Wen Wenwen and Nuan Wen were both hungry and it was already past lunch time. The two of them stopped crying and went to set the meal.
During the meal, the children happily talked about what happened at home during this period. Only then did Wen Wen realize that such big changes had taken place in the family.
The meal was enjoyable and full of laughter.
Go home gently, this home is finally complete!
