Chapter 115 The male protagonist’s best mother-in-law (3)
Innocent, weak, unable to lift with hands, unable to carry on shoulders, falls when the wind blows...
Such a delicate beauty would be nothing if she was born into a rich family.
But Gu Youniang has princess disease, but she does not have the life of a princess.
The Gu family is a pig butcher and their family is quite wealthy.
Gu Youniang has three sisters-in-law and one older sister. She has not been required to work since she was a child.
However, no matter how good the Gu family is, they cannot raise their daughter for a lifetime.
Finally, Gu Youniang and her hairpin reached the age to get married.
She has become a big problem.
Those young men really like Gu Youniang because her appearance and temperament are in line with most men's fantasies about women.
But those parents-in-law cannot see their future daughter-in-law being so fragile.
She can't work or go to the ground, and considering her slender waist, giving birth to children will be a problem in the future.
In a farm family, if a woman cannot work or bear children, she is completely worthless.
Mother-in-laws, in particular, are even more worried that Gu Youniang is a coquettish person and will bewilder their sons.
...This is not about marrying a daughter-in-law, but about welcoming a young ancestor into the house.
Nowadays, it’s very important that a matchmaker is ordered by his parents. If the parents don’t agree, it’s useless no matter how much the son likes it.
Just like that, Gu Youniang was "left" after being such a beautiful little girl.
Just when the Gu family started to have a headache and thought about how to deceive, oh no, it was to find someone to take advantage of, oh no, it was a good uncle, Zhao Guodong happened to come to the Gu family to collect medicinal materials.
After meeting by chance, Zhao Guodong fell in love with Pingping Tingting at first sight.
Unlike other young men around him, he was separated early because he was not valued by his parents.
He is capable and can make decisions for himself.
If your heart is moved, take action directly.
Zhao Guodong directly invited a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Gu family.
When the Zhao family heard about it, they all came to dissuade him.
Old Man Zhao and Mrs. Zhao said, "San'er, a man marries a wife to make a living. Mrs. Gu is indeed good-looking, but good looks cannot be used as food."
"Listen to your parents and marry your uncle's cousin. Although she is not as good-looking as Mrs. Gu, she has a strong body, a big butt, can work and can give birth to a son!"
Zhao Guodong: ...Haha, he is indeed strong and fatter than me.
And that dark face with two red spots, too ugly to be called ugly, but not beautiful either.
Zhao Guodong was persuaded to leave after one meeting.
Brother Zhao and Sister-in-law Zhao: "Third brother, I know you like pretty girls, but the Gu family is really bad. She has been spoiled too much by the Gu family, and she is not a person to live in at all."
"The one my sister-in-law introduced to you is better. She looks good, but she's a little older. But that's not a shortcoming. A female junior has a gold nugget."
Zhao Guodong: ...Haha, there is nothing to worry about when you are old, but you are too "precocious".
She has a charming face and speaks more freely than the pretty widow in the village.
I heard that the reason why this "cousin" was left behind was because she went to help in the town when she was 14 or 15 years old, and ended up having a romantic affair.
Such a woman is worse than a widow.
There is no comparison with the little lady from the Gu family!
Brother Zhao and Sister-in-law Zhao, Zhao Xiaodi and sister-in-law Zhao...all the relatives of the Zhao family, those who could and could not be beaten, all came to give kind advice.
Zhao Guodong: "Thank you for your kindness! But I have to live my own life. Madam, I still want to find someone I like!"
Of course Zhao Guodong knew about Gu Youniang's shortcomings.
Isn’t it just that he can’t work and needs to be coaxed and supported?
What a coincidence, Zhao Guodong has been living on his own since he was a child, and he is a macho man at heart.
If Gu Youniang is too strong, Zhao Guodong may not choose her.
Zhao Guodong just hopes that his wife will be a delicate, gentle, docile little wife.
Regardless of everyone's opposition, Zhao Guodong forcefully married Gu Youniang back home with the blessing of "sooner or later regret" from his relatives.
In the first ten years, the couple lived harmoniously and beautifully.
Zhao Guodong worked hard to make money, but his family caught him outside.
Gu Youniang just wanted to be beautiful and obediently let Zhao Guodong go about his business and arrange everything.
Moreover, Gu Youniang was not in poor health and could not give birth to a child, as was rumored outside.
The year after they married, Zhao Guodong gave birth to a son.
Three years later, another one.
Each of the two sons looks like his mother, that is, fair and pure, clear and handsome.
Especially the eldest son, he really doesn't look like a child from a farm family, but rather like a young master from a wealthy family.
Zhao Guodong was so happy that he went to the town and paid a fortune teller to name his son Zhao Qingyun.
Qingyunzhi, soaring!
After listening to the fortune teller's explanation, Zhao Guodong suddenly felt that his son must be a promising person.
In the future, the lintel of the Zhao family will also be changed by him!
Zhao Qingyun is indeed smart and has shown amazing reading talent since he was three years old.
The scholar from the private school in the village praised Zhao Qingyun as a little prodigy.
Zhao Guodong became more and more motivated.
He wants to work hard to make money so that his son can study, take the imperial examination, and become a high official in the future.
There is also a younger son who is smart.
Although he is not as good as his elder brother, he still looks smart.
Zhao Guodong worked hard to collect medicines and study medical skills, trying to give his family a better life.
The result is tragic!
In order to collect medicine for the nobles in the city, Zhao Guodong ventured into the mountains and fell off a cliff.
The man died on the spot.
It was only three days later that the body was discovered by passing villagers. The body was mutilated.
Fortunately, his head was still there, and everyone recognized him as Doctor Zhao, who was famous all over the country.
These villagers were quite kind and took the initiative to help send Zhao Guodong back to the Zhao family.
When Gu Youniang saw her husband's miserable appearance, she screamed and fainted.
Then, she kept lying on the bed crying and sick.
Zhao Guodong's funeral was organized by nine-year-old Zhao Qingyun and several brothers and nephews from the Gu family.
After the funeral, Zhao Guodong was buried in peace, but the Zhao family could not "rest in peace".
As soon as the big, round men from the Gu family left, Zhao Guodong's parents and brothers came to the door.
Old Man Zhao maintained his identity and did not speak. Instead, he sat on the main seat with a sullen face and smoked a cigarette.
As soon as Mrs. Zhao's buttocks came out, she sat in the yard and howled:
"My son, my poor son, your life is so miserable!"
"A good man, but he married a loser. He was beaten to death by that little bitch!"
"My son, my poor son, you are almost going to die of heartache!"
"...San'er, don't worry, your father and mother will definitely make the decision for you!"
And Mrs. Zhao's way of "making the decision" was to drive Gu Youniang back home and hand over brothers Zhao Qingyun and Zhao Qingsong to Zhao Da and Zhao Er to raise them respectively.
As for the mansion that Zhao Guodong left behind, and the dozens of acres of fertile land, they were all divided among the three brothers of the Zhao family!
Although Zhao Qingyun is young, he is precociously intelligent.
Ahem, there is no way, I was born with a naive and weak biological mother, and my biological father is busy making money outside, so the family can only rely on him as the "eldest son".
From the time he can remember, Zhao Qingyun has helped with housework and taken care of his younger brother.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Qingsong, who is only three years younger than Zhao Qingyun, was brought up by Zhao Qingyun.
In Zhao Qingyun's heart, he is the eldest son of the Zhao family and the pillar that will support the family in the future.
The current pillar of support, his biological father, passed away. Zhao Qingyun was extremely sad, but he was still able to stand up in the shortest time.
Because he knows that if he cannot succeed his father and support the family, he will have no family.
The farce in front of him profoundly proved Zhao Qingyun's guess.
"No need! Grandma and grandma, although my father is gone, I am the eldest son in the family, and I will take care of my grandma and younger brother!"
He is already nine years old. Although he is still young, he can still support the family.
"You? Huh, how old are you? Can you work in the fields, or can you collect medicine and make money?"
Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears and snot with her sleeves, her triangular eyes full of disdain.
However, Zhao Qingyun did not care about his grandmother's disapproval. He thought very clearly, "The fields at home were originally rented out."
His father is a doctor, not a farmer.
The fertile farmland at home is mostly used for leasing and collecting rent.
My father is gone, but the rules remain the same.
Relying on the money left by Tian Zuzi and his father, mother and son still don't have to worry about their livelihood.
They can even squeeze out the remaining money to continue his studies.
He has been studying for six years and will be able to take the boy examination next year.
As long as he passed the college examination and gained the title of scholar, he would be able to completely protect his family.
It's only two years, if you endure it, you can definitely get through it.
It's a pity that the Zhao family refused to give them even these two years.
Zhao Da lightly scolded, with a mocking tone in his tone, "Qingyun, you are young and don't understand what is going on outside."
Zhao Er quickly agreed, "No! Do you really think that your father's presence and absence are the same?"
Zhao Si followed his two brothers closely, "Yes, yes, those tenants are the most tricky. They will bully you as a child."
Men who do not have a supportive family will be bullied.
Zhao Qingyun looked at the three uncles with cold eyes. These were his "elders" and close relatives by blood.
But something happened at home, and they were the first ones to bully their orphans and widowed mothers!
"I am indeed a child, but I still have uncles like you. You will not watch our orphans and widowed mothers being bullied."
In fact, Zhao Qingyun would like to say that his mother is indeed weak, but the Gu family also has three uncles who are big and round, and several cousins who are equally strong and fierce.
Why did this group of people from the Zhao family just come out now?
Instead of raising an issue in the mourning hall?
Aren't they those "butchers" who are afraid of the Gu family?
To put it bluntly, it's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Although Zhao Qingyun lost his father, he did not completely lose his support. His maternal family would never let their mother and son be bullied.
"Haha, aren't we going to take your brothers back to the Zhao family to take care of you?"
As if he heard the subtext of Zhao Qingyun, Zhao laughed and said haha, then changed the topic and said meaningfully, "Gu is still young and cannot guard Guodong for the rest of his life."
Gu is a weak woman who relies on men.
Everyone in the Zhao family did not believe that she would keep the festival for Zhao Guodong.
And once the Gu family remarries, it will be impossible for the Gu family to continue to support the Zhao Qingyun brothers!
