At the end of Shangliang Village, in the quiet Hua Family Courtyard, suddenly a white shadow flashed past in the dark night.
Then, noisy screams resounded through the courtyard, immediately breaking the tranquility of the night:
"It's terrible, it's terrible, my uncle is here to ask for someone."
"Hey, staying up so late at night makes me so noisy."
Hua Rujin complained secretly in her heart. When she woke up in a daze, she felt her neck was sore and her head was in severe pain. Some unfamiliar memories swept over her like a tide, leaving her breathless.
Before he could calm down, he heard a cursing voice coming from outside the door:
"This dead girl didn't stay in the Dou family to keep her husband's integrity, so she escaped home privately, and even shouted that she wanted to remarry. Now she has angered the undead. I want to see how she can calm down the anger of the Dou family."
"It's really unlucky. Even if this dead star is a corpse, my mother still has to convince Lao Liu and her siblings to send this dead girl Rujin back to Dou's house, so that our family will not be disturbed. Just now, my daughter-in-law saw my uncle with her own eyes.
That resentful look in his eyes is really frightening."
Hua Rujin was listening in rapt attention when she saw the door of the room opened wide. A gust of wind blew in, and the oil lamp that was lit in the room trembled violently.
"You shameless little bitch, you still dare to pretend to be dead, I will carry you back to Dou's house tonight even if I have to carry you."
The old woman who walked in first looked at the woman still lying on the couch, stepped forward angrily, raised her hand, and slapped her in the face.
Hua Rujin instinctively raised her hand to grab the old woman's attacking hand. Following her fresh memory, she immediately understood everything that had happened.
Three years ago, Hu Nanxi, the original owner's grandmother, coveted the Dou family's two hundred taels of silver. While the original owner's parents had not returned from their business trip, she forcibly canceled the marriage with the Ye family, and immediately betrothed the thirteen-year-old girl to Dou Yuanqian, the third son of the Dou family.
.
But on the day of the wedding, the original owner did not even see his new husband-in-law, so Dou Yuanqian disappeared from the house. Three days later, he was told that he died of a sudden illness in Dou's village.
The government hastily closed the case, and both the Hua family and the Dou family felt that she had killed their husband, making her despised.
The original owner was forced to mourn her husband in the Dou family all day long, and was harassed by the Dou family's second son from time to time. Her father-in-law also deliberately acted for his own benefit.
Just last month, she couldn't bear the torture anymore, so she went home to complain to her parents and asked to remarry.
Although the original owner's parents loved their daughter, they had no say in the family, and no one believed that their daughter was being treated frivolously by Erlang of the Dou family.
In addition, the Dou family has been haunted by ghosts recently. A few days ago, members of the Dou family also brought out Dou Sanlang's suicide note asking her to be buried. The original owner was desperate and was forced by her grandmother and second wife to send it back to the Dou family.
Just this evening, the original owner accidentally hit a sharp stone in the courtyard and died while pushing and shoving with everyone in the second room.
And she just traveled through time.
He looked up with cold eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a chin as thin as an awl, with a mean and mean look on his face.
Looking at the menacing appearance, Hua Rujin immediately remembered that it was the original owner's grandmother Hu Nanxi.
She pursed her lips in annoyance at the snarky old woman, and Hua Rujin said in a cold voice: "It was the Dou family who cheated me out of the marriage, and you coveted the Dou family's money and pushed me into the fire pit without conscience, and now Mr. Dou wants to let me get married."
I was buried for his son, and you received the money, so naturally you should bear this crime yourself."
Hu Nanxi was very angry at her words. What she didn't expect was that her usually docile and well-behaved granddaughter would dare to resist her. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed:
"You're a free-spirited little bitch. You're just as debauched as your shameless mother. You want to remarry your husband after you killed him. Now it's not just a matter of money. It's no longer up to you. County Magistrate Liu has given you the award a long time ago.
The chaste woman Bian, before leaving office, specifically asked the government to build a chastity memorial arch for you. If you don't obediently go back to Dou's house, not only will my Hua family be disgraced, but it will also embarrass Magistrate Liu."
I have remarried three times in my life and cannot enjoy this honor. Now that my granddaughter has this opportunity to bring glory to the family, she will do anything to keep this plaque.
After saying this, he motioned to Meng Yutang, the second wife who had followed him, to come with him and prepare to force her out.
Hua Rujin kicked her to the ground with a strong kick.
Then, I saw a chubby figure running up again.
That authentic shoehorn face is particularly eye-catching.
Her plump figure and flawless appearance make her look like a flower, with stomach acid rising straight up:
I have a mother-in-law!
There is such an ugly woman in this world!
He is simply made to be a goalkeeper.
Seeing that those claws with only thick skin and no bones were about to reach towards her, Hua Rujin picked up the bed quilt and pillow on the bed and smashed them.
"Ouch, this damn girl."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned by the sudden heavy object and staggered back.
Hua Rujin took advantage of this moment to quickly get up and rush out.
She remembered that this thatched cottage was very close to the kitchen, so she rushed into the kitchen and brought back a kitchen knife.
In the blink of an eye, Hu Nanxi stood up and saw that she already had a kitchen knife in her hand. The cold light of the knife was particularly frightening under the light. She was so frightened that she quickly pulled her daughter-in-law back to the bed, speaking incoherently.
He scolded: "Die, die, die, girl, you, what do you want to do?"
Hua Rujin walked to the center of the bedroom with heavy steps and slammed the kitchen knife in her hand into the table in front of her.
The crisp sound frightened both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they were startled.
The original owner had a submissive and submissive character, but facing such a family, she would not care about dignity.
Although a person needs to have the education not to hurt others, he also needs to have the courage not to be hurt by others.
Fighting violence with violence is not necessarily a good way, but at least it can defeat the enemy to the death in a desperate situation.
Her eyebrows flashed fiercely, Hua Rujin clenched the handle of the knife and began to scold fiercely:
"Come on, don't you want me to be buried for Sanlang of the Dou family? This uncle of the Dou family is so noble, I can't do it alone. Since my grandmother likes chastity plaques and chastity arches so much, why not rush ahead of me to accompany her today?
Your uncle, our whole family will go down to accompany him. That will make our Hua family loyal. When the time comes, let alone the magistrate of Liu County, I am afraid that even the prefect of the state will come here to commend our Hua family."
"Ahem, Rujin, don't be impulsive."
Meng Yutang had never seen his niece look so ferocious, and his scalp was numb with fear.
His eyes were wary of the kitchen knife in her hand, and he held her mother-in-law's arm tightly with both hands, hesitatingly saying:
"You, how come you are such a ignorant girl? You, your grandmother was doing it for your own good at the beginning. The Dou family has such a good family background. If you hadn't failed to live up to your expectations and killed your uncle, now you are restless as a husband.
If you keep your integrity, Mr. Dou will not be so cruel as to ask you to bury me in my uncle's honour."
Carefully looking at Dazzling Rujin, he saw that there was no movement in her hand holding the kitchen knife, so he continued to pretend to be coaxing: "Mr. Dou is a well-known philanthropic person in our county. When my uncle passed away, he never thought of wanting you.
To be buried for my uncle, you must have angered him this time, which made him feel resentful. As long as you go back and say a few more nice words, he will definitely not make things difficult for you."
"Since the second aunt is so respectful to the Dou family and members of the Dou family, and thinks that the Dou family is very good, why didn't she let my cousin get married in the first place? My second sister is still waiting to be married."
Hua Rujin's thin lips parted slightly, and she couldn't help but sneer a few times.
In anger, the evil face of Erlang Dou's family when he flirted with the original owner again and again gradually emerged in his mind.
It's just that without proof, it's hard to be convinced.
After all, there are no surveillance or recording equipment these days. The so-called "catching a traitor and double-catching a thief and taking the stolen goods" all rely on real evidence. Otherwise, whoever has the money and power will be justified.
But one thing she can confirm is that the aunt of the second wife must have known some details about the Dou family for a long time. Otherwise, with her usually greedy and selfish character, how could she be so kind and leave her daughter unmarried to let the original owner marry into the Dou family?
?
There must be something fishy in this.
The Dou family was willing to spend two hundred taels of silver to arrange a marriage for Dou Yuanqian in a hurry. According to common sense, it can be inferred that either Dou Sanlang had health problems and wanted to use the marriage as a happy occasion, or a living person was used to match the ghost marriage.
However, the original owner stayed in the Dou family for three years and lived peacefully. It was not until recently that he proposed to remarry Dou that he brought out Dou Sanlang's suicide note. Even the ghost's appearance only happened recently.
It can be seen that the real purpose of the Dou family is just to detain the original owner.
Could it be that they have other intentions?
As for her niece's question, Meng Yutang didn't feel comfortable speaking directly. She deliberately lowered her face and replied, "I have already made a marriage promise to your second sister."
Three years ago, she found out that the young master of the Ye family was the most prestigious in this generation and wanted to betroth her second daughter to him, so she deliberately heard the scandal from elsewhere that the eldest daughter of the Ye family was married to his son.
He informed his mother-in-law and spread rumors that the young master of the Ye family was hanging around the fireworks display in the government school and had no intention of taking scientific examinations, so he persuaded his mother-in-law to go to the Ye family to cancel the marriage.
It's just that her niece's beauty is not like that of the honest brother-in-law of Liu Fang. However, her two daughters are uglier than the other. She is worried that this stinky girl will ruin her family's good things sooner or later, so she thinks about it.
She sent it out earlier, so she thought about the unattractive marriage in the Dou family.
Hearing the commotion around him getting louder and louder, Meng Yutang realized that the children in each room were rushing over, and sneaked around to the door, with a cunning look gradually appearing in his eyes.
