Chapter 111

At the Chen family, Chen Dongzhi got up early in the morning and today he wanted to give Zhou Yushou a lesson he would never forget.

After eating two pancakes and changing into a pair of shorts, he went to the Zhong family.

Chen's mother whispered behind him, "What are you going to do? You look so excited!"

The Zhong family was still having breakfast at this time. When they saw Chen Dongzhi coming, Zhong's mother quickly invited him to come and eat together.

Chen Dongzhi said that he had already eaten, but he could not resist Zhong's mother's invitation, so he was arranged to sit opposite Zhong Ruyi with a pancake in his hand.

Zhong Ruyi glanced at him secretly and laughed quietly.

"Cough!" Father Zhong coughed softly. Zhong Ruyi quickly put away the smile on his face and lowered his head to eat breakfast.

Father Zhong glared at Chen Dongzhi. He didn't dare to say anything bad about his daughter, but he still disliked this brat who was hooking up with his daughter.

It's not that there's anything wrong with Chen Dongzhi, but no matter who this person is, Father Zhong will have the same attitude. Although he told his daughter yesterday that they would get married after the New Year, he would be reluctant to let them get married after the New Year.

I have raised my daughter for so many years, and now she is going to marry off to another family. She will be so far away from home and who knows how she will be bullied!

If Zhong Ruyi heard her father's thoughts, she would definitely complain: In your mind, the distance between the front and back alleys is what you mean by "the sky is high and the earth is far away"? It's obvious that my mother's home is right outside my house, so why do you still say that the sky is high and the earth is far away?

Soon they finished their breakfast, but it was still early. They had agreed with Wang Laizi to go there after the noon hour, so they could go there when the time was almost right.

At the Zhong family, Chen Dongzhi helped chop firewood and fetch water to feed the pigs.

Zhong Ruyi advised him to stop and rest but he didn't listen and was busy all the time. Everyone except him in the Zhong family was very satisfied.

The eldest sister-in-law quietly pulled her over and said, "Little sister, just let him do it! When your eldest brother married me, my parents often asked him to come to my house to help with the housework!"

Mrs. Zhong is from Taohua Village and her real name is Li Guihua.

At that time, my eldest sister-in-law's father came to Xinghua Village to help build a house and met Zhong's father by chance.

The two men felt they had met too late. During their conversation, they learned that Li's father had a daughter who was of marriageable age, and that Zhong's father had three boys, the oldest of whom was also of marriageable age.

Then they agreed to go back and ask their daughters and sons whether they were willing to meet each other. If they were willing, Father Zhong would take his eldest son to Taohua Village to meet them. If they were attracted to each other, everyone would be happy. If not, they could just become godparents.

When Mr. Zhong took his eldest son back from a trip, he asked him how he was doing. Mr. Zhong was so exhausted that he could not speak.

Father Zhong thought that he didn't like it and was about to comfort him, but then Boss Zhong asked, "When are you getting married?"

Mr. Zhong:?

"If you like her, she has to marry you? You don't even know if she likes you or not! Just wait and see what your uncle Li says!"

Two days later, Li's father came to the house and said that his daughter agreed.

Both families were in high spirits. During this period, Li's father also learned about the family situation of the Zhong family and told his daughter about it when he returned.

I have a sister-in-law at home. She is a little mentally retarded, but she won’t hit people or get mad. Although she can’t speak, she is generally very well-behaved.

Father Li had also seen this little girl when he went to the Zhong family. It was obvious at first glance that she was a child who was well taken care of by her family. Although she was silly and didn't talk, she would do whatever she was told to do.

Boss Zhong has two younger brothers who are also in their early teens and are good at work.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhong are both good people and have good relationships with their neighbors. The people of Xinghua Village are simple and honest, so it would be a good choice to marry into their family.

Besides, the Zhong family members are easy to get along with. He has met the eldest brother Zhong several times. He is a hardworking man and looks honest.

An auspicious day was chosen three months later. On that day, all the members of the Zhong family put on new clothes to welcome the new bride.

In the first few months before he got married, Zhong's mother often asked her eldest son to go to his future father-in-law's house in Taohua Village to help with housework, and also to cultivate a relationship with Li Guihua.

"...At that time, mother often asked your eldest brother to come to my house to help with work. It happened to be during the busy farming season. He would come to my house before dawn every day and finish his work when it was dark. He would rush back home sweating after eating at my house, and come again the next day."

"I felt so distressed when I saw this. I told him not to come so often and to be careful not to tire himself out. Your eldest brother said that this was what mother ordered. If you want people to trust their daughter to marry him, then you have to work hard. Otherwise, how can people trust you?"

Although the sister-in-law complained, the sweetness in her eyes could not be deceived.

The second sister-in-law continued her words, "Your second brother was the same at that time. My family used to live in a village near the town, and only moved to the town in recent years. At that time, your second brother also went to my house to work every day, and rushed back as soon as it got dark."

"Just let him do it, otherwise he won't be able to calm down even if you ask him to sit still!"

Zhong Ruyi looked at Chen Dongzhi, who was chopping wood with an axe. He was sweating all over, but he was still smiling like a fool.

Forget it, just let him do it. If you don’t let him do it, he will probably feel uncomfortable.

In just one morning, Chen Dongzhi had chopped all the wood that had been piled up and filled several water tanks.

Considering that they had things to do today, Mrs. Zhong prepared lunch early today.

She shouted and asked them to eat quickly.

"Come, come! It's winter solstice, come and try your aunt's cooking. Tell me what you like to eat, and I'll make it for you next time you come!"

Zhong's mother picked up the unused chopsticks and picked up some food for him, saying that he was tired today and asked him to eat more.

Mr. Zhong's expression was also much better than in the morning, mainly because people had come early in the morning and worked for half a day, and he was too embarrassed to show his displeasure to others.

His expression was a little stiff, but he still stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some rabbit meat for him. Thinking that the rabbit meat was brought by Chen Dongzhi, he felt even more embarrassed to put on a sullen face, but he couldn't make a nice expression all of a sudden, so he looked very stiff.

It was not even noon when the meal was over. Zhong Ruyi had just helped to clean up the dishes when Wang Laizi came knocking on the door.

As soon as he came in and said hello, he kept urging Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Laosan to get ready to set off.

"My heart has been beating non-stop since we agreed to beat that kid up! Sometimes I even dream at night that we beat that kid to death! We agreed that you guys had to be gentle, or someone would die!"

Zhong Laosan patted his shoulder. He was also very nervous at first, but after wearing the pink skirt, he began to feel that it was not a big deal.

Wang Laizi thought he agreed with what he said, so he gave him an appreciative look and motioned for him to continue.

Zhong Laosan was still thinking about wearing a pink skirt later and didn't notice his gaze at all.

Chen Dongzhi glanced at the sky. It was still quite a while before the morning hour. He nodded and said, "Go now and wait."

He turned around and went to find Zhong Ruyi, as they had agreed to let her hide behind and watch.

In the end, Zhong Lao Da and Zhong Lao San both went together. They just said that how could he do anything concerning their own sister, so they wanted to go along too.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhong did not go. In their opinion, this was just a minor measure and it would be better to hand the person over to the government.

Let the county magistrate decide for them, but Chen Dongzhi meant that if no specific harm was caused, according to the Dazhao law, the county magistrate could at most call Zhou Yushou over and scold him a few words.

Even for the sake of my second sister-in-law's brother, I can't give them any severe punishment. In this case, it's better to let them do it themselves.

It is always better to do it yourself than to just receive a few mild scoldings from someone who is about to do something bad. It is guaranteed that he will be dealt with so that he won't dare to have any bad thoughts again!
