MTL - The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor-Chapter 1067 Death of Lao Motou
Chapter 1067 The Death of Old Motou
Mr. Shan had just passed his thirties, and he was handsome, elegant and well-known as a scholar. After his wife passed away, it was not that he had no acquaintances to help him match-match, but he was worried that his young daughter would be wronged and he had not met a true match. The person you like is delayed like this.
The first time Shan Fuzi met Li Xiu, he was moved by her indifference and gentleness, and felt like a young boy in love. Of course, he was not a real young boy. He would not be as timid as a young boy, nor would he be ambiguous and provocative. After clarifying his feelings, he immediately found an opportunity to meet Li Xiu and expressed his admiration for her. Feelings.
Li Xiu never thought about remarrying. Even though she thought Mrs. Shan was a good person, she did not have any thoughts about her, but she did not expect that Mrs. Shan would be so bold and direct.
However, Luo Hua was ruthless, so Li Xiu flatly rejected Master Shan. From then on, when he saw Master Shan, he took a detour. If he couldn't get around, he nodded far away, being distant and polite, and did not give Master Shan a chance to speak.
Master Shan had no choice but to make this matter a big deal, so as not to ruin the reputation of the person he liked, so he had no choice but to go to Mrs. Zeng and ask Mrs. Zeng to negotiate on her behalf.
Zeng Shan's family are neighbors separated by a wall, and they are not of the same generation. Mrs. Zeng usually treats Mr. Shan as a junior. She knew that Mr. Shan was a reliable person and not a frivolous and shallow person, so she readily agreed and was ready to look for opportunities and mentioned it to Li Zhong first.
Li Zhong has been staying at the rice shop and will only come back during the New Year and holidays, which makes Mrs. Zeng unable to find the opportunity. Fortunately, Xiaonian will be in more than ten days, and she plans to test her feelings on that day. If Li Zhong has no objection, this matter will be much easier.
Hunting all the way back home, Li Xiu was breathing heavily, and her heart was beating a little faster than usual. She had no interest in Master Shan, but Master Shan acted boldly, and she was afraid that he would say inappropriate things in front of Mrs. Zeng, so she left quickly without anyone seeing her.
“Auntie, why did you come back so soon? Did Mr. Shan say anything to ask you to bring him back?”
Seeing that her aunt came back so quickly and obviously didn't have time to talk to Shan Fuzi alone, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she still asked tentatively with a glimmer of hope.
Li Yan didn't know what kind of harm her aunt had suffered. She just thought that her aunt still remembered Zhang Ming in her heart and hoped that she could come out and find true happiness. In her opinion, Shan Fuzi is a good candidate.
"No, no, Master Shan didn't say anything." Worried about being noticed by her niece, Li Xiu suppressed the slight annoyance in her heart and replied in a normal voice.
It was just that she thought she was hiding it well, but she didn't know that Li Yan already knew about Shan's love for her, and she wholeheartedly agreed with it, hoping that the two of them could get together.
When Li Yan heard this, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she could only say, "No, forget it. If anything really happens, he will come and tell Sister Yan Yan in person."
At this point, Li Yan changed the topic and suddenly asked: "Auntie, you said that the conditions for a single wife are pretty good, so why didn't you marry another wife?"
Li Xiu didn't want to hear anything about Mrs. Shan. When her niece mentioned it, she scolded her with a rare serious face: "Mr. Shan is not related to our family. Whether he is married or not, what does it have to do with us? You have this free time." Instead of caring about irrelevant people, it’s better to hone your needle skills.”
A person who rarely gets angry is more intimidating than a person who gets angry all the time once he has a straight face. Seeing her aunt like this, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
Li Xiu picked up her needle and thread and continued to work on the unfinished screen. Thinking of those stubborn eyes, her heart could not calm down...
The twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month is auspicious and suitable for marriage.
This is Tietou's wedding day, and the door of Wu's house was opened early to welcome the villagers who came to congratulate them.
Although the Wu family has no relatives, they have many good friends in the village. When these people come to watch the ceremony and congratulate them, they are lively and lively, not deserted at all.
The sales of greenhouse vegetables have benefited most families in the village, and they have been much more generous in dealing with people. This time the Wu family held a happy event and received nearly ten taels of silver in gift money alone, which was something that was unimaginable before. This amount of money is enough for the Wu family to host twenty high-quality banquets.
There is also a need for etiquette. These villagers have a similar relationship with the Wu family. Usually, the etiquette is the same. If someone is generous and breaks the rules by deliberately giving too many gifts, he will be scolded. Of course, if they have a close relationship, like the relationship between the Mo family and the Wu family, it won't matter if they give more.
Mo Yan didn't give too much. The villagers gave 300 coins, so she gave 666 coins as a lucky gift. In addition, she prepared a pair of valuable jade pieces for the newlyweds Tietou Liu Qingqing. The concentric rings mean that we will always be united in one heart.
Amidst bursts of lively firecrackers, Tietou, dressed in bright red wedding clothes, rode a tall horse borrowed from the Mo family and brought the bride back. After a solemn worship ceremony, the newlyweds were loved by everyone. surrounded by young people and sent into the new house.
This is not the first time that Mo Yan has participated in this kind of traditional wedding. Wang Fattou got married a few days ago, and she also went to congratulate and watch the ceremony, but she still found it very novel. It's just that such a wedding is a happy ending, but it's too much trouble. She even secretly thought, if she was so tired during the day, would she still have the strength to have a wedding at night?
Facts have proved that this idea is completely unfounded. When she got married, someone had been busy all day during the day and all night at night. She thought she could escape "a disaster" and didn't have to be honest with someone. However, when she woke up the next morning, she was beaten by someone. People ate everything and couldn't get out of bed all day.
After the church service, there is a wedding banquet. Tietou stayed with his wife in the new house for a while, and then was urged by Mrs. Wu to come out and toast the guests.
Tietou has a straightforward temperament, and when toasting, he can't even take the jokes made to him. He also answered the restricted questions honestly, such as "Do you have the strength to have a wedding, and how many times can you come in one night?" "How can I get my wife to conceive a child?" Although he didn't know some of them himself, Because of this, a lot of jokes were made, making everyone laugh, and pushed the atmosphere of the wedding to another climax.
However, no one thought that this lively wedding would lead to something bad.
Just after the wedding banquet, Mo Yongfu came to the door wearing white linen clothes. Although he did not enter the Wu family's yard, it still made people frown.
Some villagers looked bad and hurriedly ran into Wu’s house to call for help. Except for Liu Qingqing, who had just passed through the door, all the Wu family members came out. Their brand-new red clothes were in sharp contrast to Mo Yongfu's white linen clothes.
Looking at Wu Tietou and others who looked alienated, a flash of regret flashed across Mo Yongfu's gray face, and he couldn't even say what he wanted to say.
Wu had long regarded Mo Yongfu as a passer-by, but when such a passer-by came to her door in mourning clothes on a happy day, she wanted to curse him no matter how good-tempered she was.
At this time, seeing Mo Yongfu standing there blankly and saying nothing, he said in an impatient tone: "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. If you have nothing to do, please leave here as soon as possible. You are not welcome in our Wu family!"
When Mo Yongfu heard this, he was extremely embarrassed, and the trace of regret in his eyes dissipated instantly. He looked at the family of five in front of him and felt that it was very dazzling. Finally, his eyes fell on the Tietou brothers and sisters, and his hoarse voice was filled with a touch of joy: "Your grandfather just went. As grandchildren, , shouldn’t you go kowtow?”
As soon as these words came out, not only the Wu family was shocked, but even the villagers who congratulated him all looked at Mo Yongfu to see if he was wrong.
In fact, when they saw the clothes on Mo Yongfu, they knew that someone from the old Mo family had gone. They thought it was Mo Hong who had been paralyzed for more than a year and was only breathing. No one expected that it was Mo Hong who was still healthy. Old Motou.
In fact, since the autumn harvest, Old Motou has not appeared in front of people much. The villagers just thought that he was too embarrassed to go out. Now think about it, he might be in bad health at that time.
The villagers' guess was correct. Lao Motou's successive schemes against the Mo family failed, and troubles occurred frequently in the family. First, the Wu family fell out of his control, then Mo Yongxi and Mo Hong had troubles one after another, and then Mo The Yonglu family moved out separately. They originally thought they could turn around by relying on greenhouse cultivation this year, but as a result, their family was excluded again. The situation at home became worse day by day. Under the heavy blows and worries, their bodies soon collapsed. .
Listening to the lively sound of firecrackers outside, Lao Motou suddenly fell to the ground. When Mo Yongfu came back from cutting firewood in the mountains, Lao Motou's body felt cold.
The villagers naturally don’t know the cause that directly led to Lao Motou’s death. It's just that the deceased is the oldest, and Old Motou is indeed the biological grandfather of several children of the Wu family. It's pointless to argue about the grudges between the two families in the past, and it's time to kowtow.
However, this is someone else's family matter after all. Even if the Wu family's children don't go, they have no position to say anything. So after being surprised, they just watched from the sidelines without anyone speaking.
Wu came back to her senses and said to Da Nier, Sannier and Shitou: "You three go kowtow and come back after you finish kowtowing." Then she said to Tietou, who was in a low mood: "You just got married. If you go to kowtow, you might offend your soul, so don’t go.”
When everyone heard this, they all gave Wu a thumbs up in their hearts. As for the reason for not letting Tietou go, it was also very reasonable. After all, the marriage here was already done. If he went to mourn again, there would be conflict between the two parties. Everyone knew that it would be unlucky for Wu's iron head to be hit, but the angle he was standing on was Lao Mo's head. No one could make a mistake.
Having said that, Mo Yongfu did not dare to force Tietou to kowtow to Old Motou, so he acquiesced to Wu's words and left with Da Nier and others.
Dear friends, the number of words has been a bit low in the past two days. This has something to do with my poor state. I will try my best to adjust it. The later period will not be less than before. I am already rushing towards the finale~
