Although Meili didn't mean to look down on Xia Yaozu, the Xia family was too poor. She was really worried about the rumors and her niece's attitude. Her relationship with her sister was not good to begin with. If Chu Yuzhu really married into the Xia family
Go, there's no guarantee her sister won't scold her for doing it on purpose.
After thinking about it again, Meili decided to send Chu Yuzhu back to Harbin.
But Chu Yuzhu was unwilling to leave and told Meili directly that she fell in love with Xia Yaozu and agreed to marry him.
Mei Li was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that what she was most worried about happened. The aunt and nephew chatted all night. Mei Li bluntly told Chu Yuzhu that Xia's family was very poor, so poor that they didn't even have money to eat salt. If
If Chu Yuzhu really wanted to marry Xia Yaozu, not only would her sister and her family scold her, but she would also feel uneasy, because Chu Yuzhu would definitely suffer a lot by following Xia Yaozu, which she had never suffered before.
Chu Yuzhu asked Mei Li, if it weren't for Xia Yaozu, she wouldn't even have her life now, so suffering would be nothing.
Meili was a little angry when she heard this and retorted: "If you think you want to marry him because he saved you, what does that count? Do you think your impulse counts as love?"
Chu Yuzhu also said angrily that she was not impulsive, nor did she want to marry Xia Yaozu because she wanted to repay her kindness, but that Xia Yaozu deserved her love, and in the face of love, hardship was nothing. Finally, she also said that she thought Mei Li
He was someone who could understand her. I didn't expect that Meili was as philistine and unreasonable as her parents.
The conversation between the aunt and nephew ended on bad terms, and Chu Yuzhu left the village early the next morning, dragging her luggage.
Xia Yaozu sent Chu Yuzhu to the train station in the county. He did not say anything to persuade him to stay, nor did he mention the relationship between the two. He knew himself in his heart. He had no education and knew nothing, and he could not leave the only one behind.
Even though his father went to Harbin with Chu Yuzhu, he couldn't give Chu Yuzhu happiness. Since she was leaving, he had no right to keep her and could only silently bless this beautiful and lovely girl.
He even thought that once Chu Yuzhu left, he would never come back again.
What no one expected was that three days later, Chu Yuzhu dragged a suitcase back to the village and went directly to Xia's house. She hugged Xia Yaozu and said that she had thought that she had saved some savings over the years.
We can live a good life together, but this time when she went home, she gave all her savings to her parents, just to buy her freedom of marriage in front of her parents. In the future, she will have no money, no job, and no parents. If she gets married
Give it to Xia Yaozu, will he treat her well for the rest of his life?
Xia Yaozu was so excited when he heard these words that he couldn't say a word. He just held his sweetheart tightly in his arms and let her snot and tears get stuck on his coarse cloth coat.
A month later, Xia Yaozu and Chu Yuzhu held a simple wedding. Many people were shocked. No one expected that Xia Yaozu, a bachelor who had accomplished nothing, could marry a city wife, who was such a delicate beauty.
.
There are also some bachelors who spread some rumors because of sour grapes, saying that Chu Yuzhu was originally a broken shoe, and was pregnant with someone else's child in the city and was dumped, so they had to go to the countryside to find a fool like Xia Yaozu as his successor.
But no matter what the rumors are, it does not affect the love between the couple. Although life is hard and poor, the family is happy and harmonious.
Even Uncle Xia seems to have become more than ten years younger.
As for Meili, seeing that her niece and Xia Yaozu were married and still living in the same village, she had no choice but to help and subsidize Chu Yuzhu, teach Chu Yuzhu how to dig herbs, set wild animal traps and other ways to make money in the countryside. Xia Yaozu, because he likes reading,
Chu Yuzhu encouraged him to write some short stories and submit them to some small magazines. Slowly, he began to earn some royalties.
The Xia family's life is getting better and better.
A year later, Chu Yuzhu saved some money and expanded the two rooms into four. The walls were repainted with bright white plaster, translucent glass windows were replaced, and the roof was re-covered.
I bought new tiles and spent all my money again.
But Chu Yuzhu was not in a hurry. She could go into the mountains to dig herbs in exchange for money. When there were weddings and weddings in the village, she would also help with cooking and doing odd jobs. She could earn up to 180 yuan at a time. What's more, Xia Yaozu, with her encouragement,
The royalties earned back are also increasing.
Shortly after the house was renovated, Chu Yuzhu became pregnant. Xia Yaozu was reluctant to let her go out to earn hard-earned money. He would sit on his desk and write furiously every day, hoping to support his family with his royalties.
But who knew that the more anxious he became, the less he could write. Xia Yaozu's hair began to fall out in large quantities, and the stories he wrote were rejected and returned by magazines time and time again.
Seeing that the child was about to be born, but the money in their hands was getting less and less, Xia Yaozu became anxious and decided to go to the county to find a job.
A few days later, Xia Yaozu actually brought back three hundred yuan, but his face looked very pale, as if he had suffered a serious illness. No matter how Chu Yuzhu asked him how he earned the money, Xia Yaozu would not tell him.
, I just promised not to go out anymore and just write short stories at home.
Although Chu Yuzhu was worried, she felt relieved when her husband said this and did not pursue it further.
From then on, Xia Yaozu did not go to the county to find a job. He just stayed at home and wrote manuscripts, and paid Chu Yuzhu six to seven hundred yuan in manuscript fees every month.
Soon, the child was finally born. It was a daughter, but Chu Yuzhu and Xia Yaozu were very happy. Chu Yuzhu saw that her husband had lost a lot of weight in the past six months, and his complexion had also changed a lot, so he asked Xia Yaozu to stay up late to write manuscripts.
.
But things didn't go as planned. Maybe it was because life was too hard and there was always little oil or water in the food. No matter what folk remedies Chu Yuzhu used, she couldn't produce milk. Rice soup would definitely not work for such a young child, so she had to buy milk powder for the child. Xia Yaozu asked
Chu Yuzhu said don't worry, he said he has monthly royalties and can afford milk powder.
Xia Yaozu said this, and he actually did it. Every month, he could spend six to seven hundred yuan in royalties and give it to Chu Yuzhu to buy milk powder for his children. However, his health seemed to be getting worse.
Chu Yuzhu was worried. She didn't want her husband to work so hard and break down his body. She even regretted encouraging her husband to write in the first place.
It wasn't until one day when Xia Yaozu fainted while holding her child that Chu Yuzhu discovered that things were completely different from what she thought.
Chu Yuzhu invited the village doctor and found out that her husband had fainted due to anemia.
How could Xia Yaozu suddenly become anemic?
As usual, I can get back six hundred yuan in royalties.
Chu Yuzhu was a person who couldn't hide things in his heart. He expressed his doubts and asked her husband where the money came from. Xia Yaozu remained silent at first and refused to tell. Until later, Chu Yuzhu cried and said that Xia Yaozu must have done it.
After feeling sorry for himself, Xia Yaozu revealed the true source of the money. This chapter has been completed!
