"Hey..." Mrs. Sun pretended to sigh, "We can't make the decision. This woman is really pitiful. It would be great if there was someone who could take her in.
But we only took her in for a while and let her recover and then leave. It is very difficult for her to be alone in Jiangzhou. It would be great if someone could give her a home."
Hearing this, one of the two women, Mrs. Xu,'s eyes lit up. Her man's brother was also her eldest uncle. He was in his forties, a widower, and had no children.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law have always wanted to find another wife for my uncle, but no one from far away is willing to marry him.
Because her uncle was a hunter with a bad temper, and his actions were insignificant. The first one was beaten when he was pregnant with a child. The child was gone, and the root of the disease was left behind and the disease disappeared.
This woman is a refugee and is helpless in Jiangzhou. Wouldn't it be appropriate to marry her uncle?
Even if his uncle loses his temper again and hits someone, he doesn't have to worry about his parents' family coming to ask for an explanation.
Their family is doing a good deed by giving this woman a home, which is her blessing.
"My family can take her in."
Mrs. Xu patted her chest and said.
"My home is only ten miles away from here. There are many houses at home, and there is a doctor in the village. I can take her in for a few days.
It's just that the road was slippery on a rainy day and she fainted again from the fever, so she had to be driven by a carriage in the village."
Grandma Sun was just telling her. Although she had only been in Zhuangzi for a few days, Mrs. Xu had already told her everything about her family.
She knew that there was an uncle in Mrs. Xu's family who was a hunter. He was an old widower and had a bad temper. He beat the one in front of him to death.
When she goes home during the holidays, she has to help her uncle wash clothes, unpack and wash bedding.
Mrs. Xu's husband's family, the Zhao family, hoped that the old widower would marry a daughter-in-law and have a woman to take care of him, so that everyone would be more relaxed.
She said that her cousin had come to escape from famine, just so that Mrs. Xu could safely take her home.
According to the Zhao family's eagerness to find a wife for the old widower, they should be eager to get married before anyone wakes up and let the rice cook.
This cousin has become someone else's wife, so naturally she can no longer think about the master.
"Then let Lao Wu hook up the carriage and take you there."
Grandma Sun said, "You will be on holiday tomorrow, and you can come back in the morning the day after tomorrow."
Naturally, Mrs. Xu couldn't get what she asked for, so she happily thanked Grandma Sun.
Zhuangzi's coachman, Lao Wu, hitched up the carriage and sent Mrs. Xu and Fan Yuelan, who was unconscious due to fever, back to Zhaojiagou.
"Father, mother."
The carriage stopped outside the mud yard of the Zhao family. Mrs. Xu woke up her parents before she got out of the car.
The old couple of the Zhao family who were sitting in the main room heard the voice of their second daughter-in-law, so they got up and walked out.
The old lady of the Zhao family wondered: "Isn't it time for the second daughter-in-law to go home during the holiday?
Why are you back today?" It's still raining today! Although it has stopped now, the road is still difficult to walk.
Old man Zhao walked out with his hands behind his back, "You'll know when you go out and take a look."
The two of them had reached the entrance of the courtyard and saw the carriage outside. The old couple looked at each other and wondered what day it was. The second daughter-in-law had come back in the carriage.
Mrs. Xu and the driver pulled Fan Yuelan out of the car. Seeing her parents-in-law coming out, Mrs. Xu quickly asked her mother-in-law to help her.
"Why did you bring someone back?"
Although the old lady of the Zhao family was in her sixties, she was still in good health. Together with her daughter-in-law, she lifted up the unconscious man.
"Lao Wu, please go back first!"
Mrs. Xu said to the coachman, who nodded, led the horse around a corner, got on the shaft and drove the carriage away.
