Everyone in the yard was looking at Yi Chuanzong's family.
Nowadays, there are no entertainment projects, and the parents' shortcomings are the daily topics of conversation.
Their eyes looked at Yi Chuanzong with some changes, including surprise, confusion, and worry.
Except for Xu Damao and the third uncle's family, Yi Chuanzong and the people in the courtyard are all doing fine. They even gave meat to the neighbors in the courtyard before.
They were all worried that today's incident would have too great an impact on Yi Chuanzong. They had all gone on a blind date and everything was going well, but suddenly something like this was revealed, and this marriage might be ruined.
Return to the east wing of the central courtyard.
Until they entered the house, the people in the yard had not left, and there were constant mutterings coming in.
"squeak."
The room door is closed.
The uncle turned his head and looked over. Yi Chuanzong was still standing motionless, frowning and looking a little lost.
The uncle had never seen this look before, and his heart felt heavy.
Although Yi Chuanzong usually looks lazy, his eyes are full of confidence. When he works, he is extremely serious and confident, and now he has been promoted to the fourth level of fitter.
Even when he was joking with Bi Ren, Yi Chuanzong kept a calm expression on his face and quietly teased others with a confident attitude. Even he was upset several times.
The uncle has never seen Yi Chuanzong look so lost and in a trance.
The eldest mother comforted her softly, "My child, sit down. What happened in the past is in the past. Don't take it to heart." She felt extremely distressed in her heart.
Yi Chuanzong did not sit down, but asked softly: "Uncle, when did I go on a blind date with Sister Hua?"
The first man raised his head and glanced. At this time, Yi Chuanzong's face had become very calm, and he did not see any emotion.
After lowering his head and pondering for a few seconds, the elder said in a reminiscence: "When Zhongzhou left in the first year, I went back to deal with it. At that time, she lost her husband just after she got married. You had a big appetite at that time, so I still
Level 6 fitter, the fixed rations in the city are simply not enough to eat. It just so happens that you are quite strong. Although you are a bit stupid, you are still quite obedient. If you work more, you can make a big meal in the village."
Yi Chuanzong nodded. His father's name in this life was Yi Zhongzhou.
"Uncle, you don't need to explain these things. I understand how hard life is. It's fine in the village. As long as you can survive, I don't care about these things."
The uncle raised his eyes and continued, "Our two families happen to be next to each other. When I went back the next year, she was taking care of you. I asked around in the village and found out that she was a widow."
"I thought it was interesting, so I mentioned it to the village chief, who went to inquire about it. Actually, I didn't have any hope, but I didn't expect that Widow Flower agreed."
"From now on, we will arrange for her to take care of you in the village. People in the village will treat you as living together and there is no such thing as a blind date."
Yi Chuanzong frowned. When he first woke up, he was choked by the fumes from those beddings. Then he slowly relaxed his brows. How much better living conditions do a fool need? He just doesn't have to freeze to death or starve to death.
He raised his head and looked at the uncle, who was sitting there looking at the tea cup.
The old man is not without scheming. The calmer or serious his face is, the more something is going on in his heart.
Yi Chuanzong chuckled and sat across from me, "Uncle, are you hiding something from me? When I asked you to help hire a matchmaker, you didn't say a word!"
At that time, he felt that the first man was a little too calm. You must know that the person he married was Lou Xiao'e, and it was just on the first day of divorce.
He and Lou Xiao'e must have been connected in the past, and even a big man can see this.
But the first uncle didn't reprimand him at all. Instead, he got the uncle and aunt to agree without much effort, so that he was mentally prepared to be reprimanded, but in the end he waited in vain.
Things progressed smoothly later on, and his relationship with Lou Xiao'e also became stable, so he didn't think too much about it. Now that Xu Damao told the story, he remembered the first uncle's abnormal behavior at that time.
The uncle said with a serious face: "When you brought Lou Xiao'e home that day, I saw that you two had this tendency. Your aunt and I chatted for a long time that night. We were mentally prepared when you talked about this again."
"You have forgotten the past, and you have someone you like, so why should your aunt and I bring up those old things again? Besides, Lou Xiao'e is not bad. Her family is rich, and she can afford to take care of you in the future."
Yi Chuanzong raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "Uncle, do you know that you like to stare at people when you lie?"
The uncle said calmly: "Is it possible for me to lie to you? Do you think I don't know your temper? What you are sure of is that you have already thought about it, even thought about it for a long time, and it will be useful for us to stop it.
?”
Yi Chuanzong grinned. The uncle was still lying to him. There may be these reasons, but there must be something else that he has not told him!
He nodded slowly, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I'll tell Auntie."
Yi Chuanzong smiled and turned to his aunt.
At this time, the aunt looked very worried and was uncharacteristically quiet.
Yi Chuanzong poured a cup of tea for Auntie, then pushed it to him and said, "Auntie."
"Why!"
The aunt was awakened, and she paused for two seconds before responding. She held the white porcelain tea cup in her hand and held it firmly with both hands.
Yi Chuanzong smiled slightly, which was clearly the same state he had when he was scolded by his aunt.
Now that the roles have been reversed, if there was nothing wrong inside, he wouldn't believe it even to death.
"You must have known about this before. When I first came here, you were trying to find me a wife. You all know that I have a country wife. Why are you still looking for me? No.
Are there any ready-made ones?"
"It's been four years..."
Yi Chuanzong's mood was very complicated. He had been taken care of for four or five years, but he had no idea.
He originally thought that the women in the village were easy to trick.
I never thought that the two of them would have such a relationship.
He enjoyed the night complacently, still feeling a lot of superiority in his heart, but in the end it was just a matter of course.
"this……"
The aunt was a little speechless and looked confused, not knowing what to say.
The first man knew that the first mother could no longer bear the burden, so he advised her: "Zuanzong, the past is in the past. Now you are on a blind date, and you like it, and we feel very good. Now let's think about what to do.
Please comfort the Lou family, they may not have any reaction when they find out about you!"
Have you forgotten?
Yi Chuanzong smiled miserably, how could he forget? He just didn't dare to think about it.
He doesn't want to be an honest person.
But now he finds it difficult to be a dishonest person. Gu Kuang
Yi Chuanzong took a deep breath and suppressed all the messy thoughts in his heart.
He had already thought about what to do, but now that he knew some of the truth about the matter, he felt a little guilty.
"Uncle, don't worry about the Lou family's affairs. No one can take away my daughter-in-law whom Yi Chuanzong recognizes."
"Even if Xu Damao tells the Lou family about my past, I am confident that it will be resolved."
"Now that I know everything, there is no point in you hiding it from me. Now I want to know why you don't want to marry Sister Hua. You must have told me a reason, right?"
"Even if I don't marry her... I have to repay her for taking care of me for several years."
The first man was silent for a moment, and then he looked at each other.
Both of them were hesitant, but finally the eldest mother spoke up, "Chuanzong, it's not that we didn't tell you, it's that that woman is not good."
Yi Chuanzong's eyes widened slightly, "Not good? What do you mean?"
The eldest mother put her hands in front of her belly and looked around, "It's not good anyway. You didn't have the conditions before, so you could only talk to her. Now that your illness is cured, of course we can't find something like this."
Yi Chuanzong tilted his head and smiled. How could this person be so bad for no reason?
He asked patiently, "Auntie, this person is not good. You have to say something bad about him. You can't say what he is like."
The eldest mother looked very anxious and said hesitantly: "She is a broom star!"
"Ouch!"
Yi Chuanzong teased: "Auntie, it's interesting what you said. How can anyone on the street believe this now? Who did you hear this from? Isn't it a muddled remark meant to ruin a person's reputation?"
"You kid, you still don't believe it!" The eldest mother was anxious and didn't know how to explain, so she turned away and ignored him.
Yi Chuanzong had no choice but to look at his uncle.
The elder said in a deep voice: "Your aunt is right, in fact, this is true!"
"Yeah. I'm listening."
Yi Chuanzong nodded. It's not that he didn't believe this kind of thing, but he didn't believe everything anyone said. He would only believe what such a person said if he could reach the level of his master.
As for Xiangyang Village, he had not seen any family with such ability in half a month there, and there was no such saying in the village.
The uncle raised his head and glanced at him, knowing that he didn't believe it, so he said slowly: "When I went to tell the village chief about that matter that year, the village chief actually told me about it."
Yi Chuanzong listened with his ears pricked up.
"The Flower Widow must have been sold to Xiangyang Village!"
"Sell!"
Yi Chuanzong's eyes widened instantly. Five or seven years ago, there were indeed human traffickers buying and selling brides at this time, but they were in Xiangyang Village. Could anyone in the village do such a thing?
"It's not what you think. It was Widow Hua who actively agreed to the sale. She was sold and married voluntarily!" the first man explained.
Yi Chuanzong's eyes widened even more. Although he didn't know how old Sister Hua was, she was definitely not more than twenty-five. When she got married, she was at most twenty. Are you so worried about getting married?
The old man recalled it again and said leisurely: "If you want to talk about why the flower widow is the bad guy, you have to start with her husband."
Yi Chuanzong narrowed his eyes slightly. He had no impression of the old neighbor living next door at all, so he listened patiently and carefully.
"Back then, Tian Haiwang was a refugee who had escaped from other places. When he came from his hometown, he brought a lot of money and a treasure with him. He himself was lame, but he was rich and never made any mistakes in his life.
.And this man is educated, and he usually doesn’t get to chat with people in the village. If he just makes do, he can still find a woman."
"But he has a high vision, and he has to find someone from the city, so he often runs to the city. The problem is that he likes other people, but others don't like him. At the age of thirty-five, he still has no wife, so he is anxious.
Now I want to use that treasure to buy a young wife."
Yi Chuanzong curled his lips, how could he not find a wife if he had so much money and so much discernment?
"I heard that he has a treasure passed down from his ancestors, and it is very valuable. There are many people in this city who come to marry him. But the treasure Tian Haiwang brought is priceless, and he himself is a little reluctant to part with it. In this case, ordinary women would not be able to bear it.
I didn’t like it, so I struggled for two months and made quite a fuss, but I still couldn’t find the right one.”
"In the end, Widow Hua found her by herself. As soon as they met, Tian Haiwang readily agreed. Because she was afraid of being cheated, Widow Hua asked the village chief and the people in the village to do justice. As long as she married, Tian Haiwang would
Wang’s treasure must be given to her, and she must take that treasure back to her family.”
"At the same time, Widow Hua also talked about her own situation. She said that her life was not good and she could easily bring disaster to others. She ran away this time because she didn't want to hurt her family anymore, but she also wanted to repay the kindness of raising her.
That’s why she did this. She even said she didn’t have to leave, and she could let someone else deliver her things.”
"Tian Haiwang was satisfied with that, so he didn't care about other things. He had been on blind dates too many times in the past two months, and he heard all kinds of reasons. He didn't believe what Widow Hua said at all. So the two of them
So we discussed getting married."
Yi Chuanzong was listening with his ears pricked up, why is it gone?
He raised his head in confusion and asked, "What then?"
The eldest mother said angrily: "Then Tian Haiwang died!"
Yi Chuanzong looked stunned. He must be dead. After all, he had never seen this neighbor before and had no impression in his mind.
After hearing this, you are quite anxious to die?
The aunt looked a little uneasy, "We have agreed on the wedding date, and this beautiful widow is also temporarily living in our village. We haven't seen Tian Haiwang for three days in a row, and no one cares. He often keeps himself in his room.
"
"On the day of the wedding, people in the village panicked. The people who went to help went to find Tian Haiwang, but when they opened the door, Tian Haiwang was lying on the bed with red dots all over his body. It was smallpox! There was only a flower widow in the village.
If you dared to go in, you rushed in stupidly, and that day the villagers surrounded the three of you in the house with stacks of wheat."
"Tian Haiwang didn't survive that night, and you and Widow Hua were sick for several days. Your uncle and I went home at that time, but the villagers didn't dare to let us see you. Fortunately, the villagers came
I called a barefoot doctor, who took care of you for three days in a row, and then saved your life, but the barefoot doctor couldn't bear it because he was too old."
Yi Chuanzong was silent for a while. He almost died. Smallpox at this time was deadly, and there was no vaccine at all.
But if you get this kind of disease, you can only fight it hard. If you can survive it, you will live. If you can't survive it, you will die.
At the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Tian Haiwang could not survive that night, so naturally Tian Haiwang and Sister Hua did not consummate their marriage.
Yi Chuanzong didn't feel anything at all at that time, which made him feel very complicated. For a while, he was a little confused about what kind of person Sister Hua was.
"Even if this is the case, it doesn't mean anything, right? Isn't there nothing going on in the village?"
"Is everything okay?" The eldest mother crossed her arms and glanced at him. "Do you think there are other people besides your two families beside the river at the east end of the village? What are you doing with the six or seven empty houses in front of you?"
Yi Chuanzong looked startled. It was originally a house made of adobe. It had been uninhabited for four years and was in tatters. He thought it was abandoned!
Now think about it, there are really no neighbors next to my house, and the nearest Li family has to go up a small slope to get to it.
But he still couldn't believe it, "It shouldn't be that exaggerated, it's just illness. The weather is hot and cold. Isn't it normal for people to be sick?"
"What do you think is that illness?" The aunt's eyes widened. "Although we are not in the village, we are going back during the Chinese New Year. There are a lot of things in those two months. Do you think building a house is easy? The villagers can live well.
