From the aunt's words, Li Haitang carefully compared and finally confirmed that Xu Keba's son was Xiaoliu who was sent to Zhang Ruyi's house.
She felt inexplicably sad, perhaps, this was the last trick played by a mother when her life was about to end.
However, that man made the right bet in the end. With Zhang Ruyi's temperament, he would indeed treat the child kindly.
…
The auspicious time had come, but Chen Wanwan still didn't wait for the bride. He was sweating profusely, and ran to the yard to look around.
The daughter-in-law did not wait, but waited for his panting man. He asked, "Where is the person? Why did you come back by yourself?"
"My lord, it's a big deal! Then a flower from Cao's Village has escaped!"
The guy ran too fast, paused, and then continued the topic, "Not only did she run away, but her parents also disappeared!"
In the morning, the welcoming team took Xi Po to Cao's Village. After entering Cao's house, they were immediately stunned, without any festive atmosphere, and the house was empty.
Neighbors said that the oil lamps were still on at Cao's house last night, so someone should be there, but they didn't hear anything early in the morning.
Now, the people who welcome the relatives are in a hurry.
To get married, the bride's family is not there, and things are strange.
The clever guy ran into the house and rummaged through the cabinets, only to find none of the seasonal clothes.
Not only that, but in the kitchen, all the rice, flour, grain and oil were bottomed out, and there was nothing.
All of this made them believe if they didn't believe it, the Cao family ran away!
Before, the Chen family gave dozens of taels of silver as dowry money, as well as hairpins, jewelry, all together, there were as much as a hundred taels, and now they can't exchange for a daughter-in-law.
When Chen Wanwan heard this, he took a step back and almost passed out.
The happy event turned into a farce, and the villagers retreated one after another. Li Haitang went out with the crowd, and remembered the trifles of her escape from marriage.
At that time, her freedom was restricted, and the Li family wanted to threaten her younger brother Li Jinhu, so she could only rely on herself.
Fortunately, she was on the right track.
…
During the day in the mountains, the couple went for a walk around during the day, and Li Haitang took the savage husband to play chess, and almost won every game by virtue of his shameless kung fu.
Unable to sleep at night, the two sat on the swing in the yard to watch the moon.
The temperature in the mountains is low, with humidity in the coolness, mixed with the scent of soil and wild flowers, which makes people feel extremely peaceful.
Li Haitang would occasionally think about bean buns, and she was not worried about keeping her son with her mother-in-law.
After five days, the couple had to leave the mountain.
Li Haitang was very reluctant. Before leaving, she made the cabin neat, folded the quilts, and put them in the closet. She didn't know when she could come back next time.
From Kaoshan Village to Zhuangshang, the carriage was bumpy all the way, and Li Haitang breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the place.
Yue Yue couldn't afford to be seriously injured. She will go out less recently. I am afraid that she promised Wang before, and she will be wrong.
"Madam, you are back!"
Wufu Baiguo, Nanny Yu and others heard the movement and hurriedly gathered around. Baiguo helped his wife knead with winking eyes.
There were two carriages parked in the courtyard, Li Haitang asked in surprise, "Who's here?"
"It's the lady on the first floor who came back with Master Doubao, and Mrs. Zhang."
Nanny Yu didn't know the identity of the owner on the first floor, so she didn't understand her wife's delivery of the bean bag, and persuaded her several times behind her back.
This time when I saw someone come back, I was relieved, and sighed secretly, the master and wife are too worried! Leave it to outsiders to take it with you, what if something happens to Master Doubao?
However, as Nanny Yu is a servant, it's hard to explain clearly.
"Is Ruyi here?"
Mother Xiao came to live in Zhuangzi, which was invited by Li Haitang. The villa is quiet and private, and the place is big, which is better than the first floor.
Being on the one-acre land on the first floor for too long is really no different from going to jail.
"Haitang, I'm afraid I'll be bothering you for a while now."
Zhang Ruyi came out from the courtyard, took Li Haitang's hand, and the two sisters entered the flower hall.
"Ruyi, the village has already reserved a yard for you, you can come anytime you want, why bother?"
Li Haitang waved his hands, the two sworn sisters, as close as a family, not plastic friendship.
Even if Zhang Ruyi didn't come, she was going to go.
"You mean, Xiao Liu's parents have been found?"
Zhang Ruyi covered her mouth and almost shouted.
She has been waiting for Xiaoliu's parents to come to her home these few days, so who doesn't like it? If she encounters difficulties, she thinks that if she can help, it should be considered a good deed.
People's sons have parents, so they still go back.
"Yes, what a coincidence."
Li Haitang explained the reason again, Xiao Liu will definitely not be able to send him back, there is a scumbag father like Xu Keba, who is dismissive of his wife and son, and his head is full of money, Xiao Liu follows him, whether he can grow up safely is a problem .
Regarding Xiao Liu's life experience, it's better not to say it out, to save Zhang Ruyi from working so hard to raise Xiao Liu as his son, and then being ripped off by Xu Keba, and the other party will come to a scene of admitting his relatives.
"So that's why I sent all the helpers at home."
Zhang Ruyi was indifferent after hearing this. The man is lucky, there is nothing to question, it's not like that.
If it was more than a year ago, Xu Keba would have jumped her feet in anger and scolded the scumbag, but now, she can only laugh at herself.
Life is like this, with constant setbacks, which make you unknowingly smooth out the edges and corners and become calm.
Zhang Ruyi looked at Li Haitang and said with a smile, "Looking at the spring in your pink face, it can be seen that you have a very good life on the mountain, have you been nourished?"
This couple is really unusual. As long as they are together, they will give people a sense of tranquility. Zhang Ruyi thinks that this kind of marriage, after five hundred lives, it will not be her turn to make other people envious. A sense of powerlessness comes.
Even so, I was abused from time to time.
"The water and soil on the mountain are good."
Li Haitang avoids the important and ignores the trivial, instead of showing his affection in front of his good sisters, he changed the subject, "Is it uncomfortable to live in the city?"
Xu Keba's daughter-in-law is another tragic example. The woman is alone at home, and it is not peaceful.
"I was going to talk to you about it."
Zhang Ruyi looked positive, she had been living in the village for three or four days.
On the day Li Haitang went up the mountain, on the night of the Shangsi Festival, a group of men in black came to the alley.
At that time, in the middle of the night, she had just finished feeding Xiao Liu's medicine, when she heard noises outside, she thought that Xiao Liu's parents had come to visit her.
She crouched in the crack of the door and peeked out, only to find that the men in black had fierce expressions on their faces, holding bright swords in their hands, and the swords shone white under the moonlight.
Zhang Ruyi shivered and hid back in the room like a frightened bird, staying up all night.
Fortunately, the night passed smoothly.
On the second day, she saw her neighbor carrying a package and leaving in a hurry. Before leaving, she kindly told her that the world is in chaos, so run away! Best to go to relatives in the country first!
The other party was in a hurry and didn't say much, but he also revealed a horrifying fact that the scholars of Songhe Academy, because they supported King Zhenbei in the policy theory, were killed over a hundred people overnight, and blood flowed like a river!
Not only that, the closure of the city gate of Kyoto indicates that the sky in Kyoto has officially changed!
However, all this, before that day, without any warning.
