Chapter 525 Distance

A couple paid a visit to the house in the thatched hut and then to their parents-in-law. The villagers were invited to have wedding banquets and dozens of tables were placed in a row. The weather was cold and they ate mats at their respective homes, and all the expenses were paid by Xu Hao.

Xu Hao was afraid of being poured down by the villagers, so he toasted him and hurried away quietly after drinking.

It was late at night when the guests at the Wei family dispersed one after another. Wei Er closed the door and said to his wife with a smile: "It's time for us to rest."

When she saw Taohua standing in the house and frowning, she had the idea of ​​leaving the Wu family because of her repeated beatings. At that time, she yearned for a carefree life in the countryside. She didn't have to serve others and look at the owner's expression in everything, but when she arrived at the Wei family, she was deeply disappointed.

The house is a thatched hut, with few decent pieces of furniture. The other end of the yard is close to the thatched hut, and the stench of cow and pig manure is so irritating. The family is crowded in a small yard, and the roof is low and looks stuffy. When the window is opened, it is a boundless Haoye. It is like the daughter in the city who married into a poor old district. Who can not regret it?

Taohua kept talking about why it wasn’t that rich and beautiful Mr. Xu? But she also knew that this was a delusion.

Fortunately, although Wei Er is a country man, she is strong and powerful, and she looks good, so she must not be expected, so she is not too uncomfortable. On the wedding night that night, Wei Er was still a child. She had already had many loves with the head of the family and had a lot of experience, so she used her husband as a tool for pleasure and spent the whole night.

The young and strong man had tossed three times for nearly two hours, which naturally made Taohua feel very satisfied.

Tao, next door, slept with Yi Yi for a night. At the fifth day of the day, he got up to clean the house and called his eldest daughter-in-law to help cook. However, her husband got up and said, "When has it been like a dead dog sleeping all night? Erlang just got married and was sleeping. What's the reason for you to sleep?"

After screaming several times, the husband did not respond, Tao murmured, "Strange." He reached out and pushed him a few more times, but he did not move. He quickly touched his body temperature, and his whole body was already stiff.

Tao was so scared that he burst into tears and cried, "Oh, why did he die?"

Mr. and Mrs. Wei were also shocked when they heard this. Wei rushed over and cried, "Dad! I was drunk last night and said I would go to bed first, why did I go?"

Because he was not his biological father, his eldest daughter-in-law was very calm. After all, his father-in-law was almost sixty years old and said in a tangled manner: "What should I do? I spent all the money on my second brother's marriage, where did the money for the coffin come from? Call Erlang to discuss it."

Tao cried and shouted, "Erlang, get up quickly, your father is dead, you just need to sleep."

The problem is that Wei Er was tired all night and was sleeping comfortably with his wife in his arms. He couldn't hear it at all. Tao slapped the door and shouted, "Why are you dead too? Why are you so sleepy?"

Wei Er said impatiently: "Why did you call me early in the morning? I'm so sleepy."

Tao said angrily: "You killed this day, your father worked hard for you all his life. After eating a few more glasses of urgent wine, he died, you are heartless bastard."

When Wei Er heard that his father was dead, he turned over and said in shock: "What's going on?" He had to get up and come out and open the door.

Tao cried: "As soon as you ask your wife to come in, your father died suddenly without illness. Could it be that his wife has bad athlete's foot?"

She is kind by nature, and because of her husband's suffering, she said this without saying anything, and found that it was inappropriate, she quickly shrank her mouth.

I didn't expect Taohua to hear it in the house. She had been used to quarrel with her since she was a child in the city. She never forgived people and immediately said, "Since it's because of the bad athlete's foot, why bother me? It's funny."

He turned his back and muttered, "I don't say that you are a slut. When you see your son messing with a woman, he gets excited. He troubled with my father-in-law, regardless of his life, and came to blame me after he died. Now everyone has made it clear that I can't stand the pickling smell of your family not like humans, and ghosts not like ghosts."

When Wei Eryi heard this, he panicked and said angrily to his mother: "Don't fart, my father is dead, what does it have to do with my wife?"

At this time, Wei Da walked over and said, "Don't argue, it's important to handle the funeral for your father. Brother Hao spent a lot of money yesterday, so it's hard to open his mouth even if he leaves."

The eldest daughter-in-law couldn't help but complain: "If it weren't for the second brother, you spent all your savings in your family, you wouldn't have to worry about it now."

Wei Er raised his chest and shouted, "I will find He Jinshan in Xujiazhuang, Qian Village, to borrow a few taels of seals, buy a coffin and then talk about it."

Wei Da said, "Then I'll go and borrow it with you and pay it back together in the future, so save more effort."

The two brothers went to Xujiazhuang, and He Jinshan was checking the cash at home. Because of the Xu family, the villagers would go to the Xu family to borrow money when they were short of money, and only half a cent of interest was collected within fifty taels. Therefore, as long as Xiaojia Village was a down-to-earth family, there was no tragic incident in which the family was destroyed due to borrowing high interest debts.

Naturally, other villages do not have this benefit, but the interest rate will not be too high. Xu Hao mainly wants to benefit the villagers. After all, this is the foundation of the Xu family.

Therefore, the interest rate of the surrounding Yinzi money is not high, and of course it is much higher than that of the Xu family.

He Jinshan looked up and saw that it was the two brothers of the Wei family. He had a wedding banquet last night and smiled and said, "Congratulations to me, why did you come to my house?"

Wei Er said with a sad face: "Uncle He, something strange happened in my family."

He Jinshan smiled and said, "What's strange? Could it be that the bride is a stone girl?"

Wei Er sighed: "No, I became a kiss, my father died this morning."

He Jinshan said in surprise: "I was having a drink together last night. Is the chat so lively? Why are the people gone? This is a strange thing."

Seeing his younger brother being chaotic, Wei Da said directly: "Actually, he has to borrow a few taels of seals from Uncle He and buy a coffin. It is considered as a loan between my brothers and repay the debt together in the future."

He Jinshan thought it was strange, and he let the Xu family not lend it to me but came to me? Maybe it was because the third young master couldn't help but beg others if he couldn't help but ask for it? Then he asked, "How many taels do you want?"

When Wei Da came, he had already planned and said, "Borrowing four taels will save you from being stretched."

He Jinshan pondered: "If you don't have this money today, you can take two or five cents first, buy the coffin, and come to get one or five cents the day after tomorrow. The villagers don't want your family's interest."

Wei Er was proud of his heart. He knew that He Jinshan was afraid to ask for interest due to the Xu family, so he said thank you. At that moment, the two brothers wrote a loan note and found a guarantor to notarize it, saying that they would pay it back ten months later.

After I got home, I bought a coffin. There was not much attention to the funerals of the poor. Everyone in the village came to help, and the whole family cried and took care of the funeral.

During the funeral, Mr. and Mrs. Wei experienced Taohua's complaints. In addition, the old father has become old, so he should have separated his family and left his own family. The couple also have their own plans.

Lord Wei was very honest and said to his younger brother: "You have a wife now, and you will leave the land at home for you to plant. I will rent another 30 acres of land from the Xu family tomorrow. My mother will live by your side. Every month, I will send food to you and support us."

When Tao heard this, shed tears and sighed, "I will practice vegetarianism in the future. Since my eldest daughter-in-law is about to move away, I can't keep it. The second daughter-in-law is another advantage. I will live alone in the future. You brothers give me some firewood and rice, invite Guanyin Bodhisattva to the house, and then practice at home."

Taohua whispered: "Pretending to be like porridge and eating porridge. What vegetarian food should I eat? What is the right way to practice? The disgusting son of Bala sympathizes."

Wei Da said unhappily: "My brother and sister, the old man will follow her wishes, and you don't have to worry about her."

Taohua shouted, "Why should I care about her? She said that I am good or bad, and I don't know how many people I have eaten. It's time to ask the Buddha to come and curse me, so I'm not good at athlete's foot, right?"

Wei Da was unwilling to get entangled with her and frowned and said, "It's all over, don't talk about it."

On that day, Mr. and Mrs. Wei moved elsewhere and rented three thatched houses and became a tenant of the Xu family.

Wei Er and his wife hid in the house to enjoy the fish and meat, and they spent money in just a few days. Taohua said: "I am from the city and I don't grow the fields. What's the rare thing about this broken family? Let's just go to the city together to find a living or a small business. Isn't it good to see money every day?"

Wei Er obeyed his wife's advice and wrote Zhang's land withdrawal the next day, leaving only a few acres of thin land for my mother. He cleaned up and went into the city together. After a few days of hang out, he didn't make a name for himself. He rented a room outside the city, and since then he made a living by fishing.

Wei Ershui is also very lucky. He was so caught that he was carrying fish into the city to sell them. With the care of the Xu family, he could be said to be a guaranteed income from drought and flood. He could make some money every day, and peach blossoms gradually became devoted to her husband who loved her.

Xu Hao didn't expect that the good family would be divided into pieces in an instant. This is the case with the Wei family, which shows that the Xu family will do the same.

When he left that day, he left Twenty taels of silver for the Tao. Since her husband died, Tao kept a scruple and didn't tell her sons that she had money. As expected, the old man was very knowledgeable.

Although the eldest son was honest and honest, he left the house because his wife was unwilling to serve her mother-in-law. The second son was spoiled and had only his daughter-in-law but no mother in his eyes.

The old lady was left alone at home, so she could be completely clear about it. If Xu Hao had not appeared, her future encounter would naturally be as lonely as most elderly people.

Now there is an extra choice. The old lady took out four taels of silver and returned it to He Jinshan, locked the door of the yard, went to the female doctor alone, and enjoyed her old age with some helpless elderly people in the village.

It did not become a burden for the children. When Wei Dawei Er learned about it, he felt apologized and came to visit him from time to time. He took the old lady home for several days during festivals. The two daughters-in-law couldn't help but feel ashamed and became kind. The family paid more attention to family affection from a distance.

The same is true for the Xu family. Since they were separated, there has been no reason for conflict between the rooms.

It was New Year's Eve, and every family was busy pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging peach talismans. Children on the street set off firecrackers in groups. Amid the rumbling sound of firecrackers, Xu Hao felt the joy of the festival, and Qingwen came over to talk about his brother.

Warrior Moon was secretly winking at the side, and Xu Hao suddenly realized that her father had become an official. Qingwen felt unbalanced and smiled and said, "Simple! Choose one of the new university or Imperial College. As for whether she can become an official, I don't care whether she can be an official, relying on his own ability."

Qingwen said happily: "Then let's go to the Imperial College. Nowadays, most of the people who come from college can only join the army. My brother's ambition is to be a civil servant."

Xu Hao nodded. The new school will inevitably be rejected by the entire traditional scholar. After all, the imperial examination is the only way to win the hearts of the people and the only way to win the scholars. He did not openly challenge all literati for this.

Time will slowly prove everything. When more and more educated soldiers appear and capitalism develops and grows, the social atmosphere will definitely change, and even reach a certain critical point, sharp and irreconcilable contradictions will arise.

Xu Hao hoped that such a scene as the French Revolution would be born. The new vested interest class would definitely challenge the traditional interest class. As for what consequences would occur, it was not something he could have expected.

When Qingwen left with satisfaction, Musk Yue said, "My father wants to re-string, and I am worried that my sister will not be taken care of, so I want to find a good husband for her."

Xu Hao was overwhelmed and said hurriedly: "I can't control this matter, you can do it yourself."

Musk Yue curled her lips and said, "I didn't say I wanted you to care, but it's not convenient for me to always go back to my parents' home. I want to ask you to go to my house to see the character of that stepmother."

Xu Hao shook his head and said, "This is even more unreasonable. I am half of your son-in-law. How can I speak about your father's affairs?"

Musk Yue said, "That's right! By the way, the concubine from the third girl's house committed suicide by jumping into the well last night."

Xu Hao frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Musk Yue said, "I don't know much. The concubine has met grandma at Huanggu Temple. She comes to the mansion from time to time. She always comes with a smile every time she comes. She is the most polite. Alas! She is a very good person, and somehow she looks for a short opinion of her for some reason."

Xu Hao thought to himself, do you still need to ask? Who would commit suicide? He couldn't escape the torture of Cui Yun. He had to feel heartbroken when he thought of such a cruel person in his sister.

But when you think of the grudges between women and mistresses in later generations, who can you blame from the woman's standpoint?
