Wings of Hung Chien - Chapter 21
It is said that Yao Hua’s father angrily left Yun Ruo’s house and rushed to the river crossing in Yannan Village.
When passing by Xu Fumei’s house, I ran into the trumpet father who had just put down the bowl and went to look for someone to gossip.
The trumpet father saw Yao Hua’s father, and hurriedly posted it eagerly. Where there is a matchmaker, there is something new!
“Hey! Isn’t this Yao Hua’s father! Where is this coming from? Have you eaten?”
Asked about this, Yao Hua’s father was angry! He originally wanted to eat at Yun’s house. According to his thoughts, he helped the ugly boy Yun Ruo find a marriage, and the Song family couldn’t be grateful to him? Not only did he tell his daughter’s marriage, but also married the son who was ugly as a ghost, they should thank themselves as a big matchmaker.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not get thanks, but he was also driven out by Yuntian, and he didn’t even eat lunch. Isn’t this time for lunch?
So, Yao Hua’s father poured out his grievance at the loudspeaker father!
Originally, even if their matchmaker likes to talk nonsense, but for the sake of business, they really don’t speak ill of people, they just like to talk nonsense. But today is different, he has to express his anger full of resentment, otherwise he will be suffocated to death.
Immediately, he moved a set of words to tell the loudspeaker father.
The loudspeaker listened, his eyes were shining, he kept nodding his head, either agreeing, sighing, or taking grievances for Yao Hua’s father. The two stood at the gate of Xu Fumei’s house, chatting very lively.
After a while, he was surrounded by a few husbands and listened to Yao Hua’s father saying how the Song family did not know what to do, and it was ridiculous to treat his ugly son as a treasure! With that kind of appearance, and wanting to marry a good family is a pipe dream!
Those who listen also have that duty.
The Huang family is a real person. After listening to Yao Hua’s father, he couldn’t help but say, “Isn’t it right for Brother Yun to do this? Whose son is not like a baby? What does it matter if it looks good?”
Yao Hua’s father immediately shouted loudly, “Oh! I said brother, I didn’t let him not hurt his son! I helped his son find marriage, and I specially found several families for him to choose! This is not for How is he? Could it be that leaving his son at home as an old brother just feels bad for his son?”
Huang Shi whispered, “Is that too old? An old woman in her forties, Yun Ruo is only ten years old this year!”
The country is no better than the city. The old man in the city has no money to beg as much as his servant, and no one goesssips, and the age difference is also common. This country is actually one wife and one husband, and few people have such crooked thoughts. The age difference is so big, and it is too ugly. No wonder brother-in-law Yun is not happy.
Yao Hua’s voice grew louder, and he approached her and asked her face, “I want to help him talk to him about a teenage girl. Someone has to agree! Brother, if you say that, you have a daughter at home. No? Would you like to tell Yun Ruo to be your son-in-law? Would you like to?”
Huang’s face was splashed with spit by her, and she hurriedly shrank back and said, “I don’t have a daughter.” She was also anxious in her heart, but she couldn’t say this Hachiko, so she had to step back.
The other husbands laughed and watched the excitement, and occasionally added a sentence, which sounded like consolation, but it made that Yao Hua father even more energetic, and he spit it out.
The loudspeaker sighed, and said “tsk tsk” with a rich expression, “You can’t blame Yao Hua. What Yao Hua said is the truth. Others, Fumei and Yuntian are still good friends, so it’s not that they dislike Yunruo! You! Where can Father Yao Hua find a girl who is willing to marry the ugly son of the Yun family?”
When Yao Hua’s father heard that there were twists and turns that he didn’t know about, he hurriedly asked, “Which Fu sister doesn’t want to marry the ugly son of the Yun family?”
Without waiting for the trumpet father to answer, he suddenly turned his head to look around, raised his finger and pointed at the gate of Xu Fumei’s house and said, “Isn’t it the Fumei of this Xu family?”
Daddy Trumpet raised his head proudly and said, “Isn’t it her! Because of this, Yun Ruo jumped into Cheng Lake to seek short-term views, and then was picked up by Dr. Zhang, but he was out of breath! In the end, Si Hongcang As soon as the soft lady came, she exhaled a few breaths at the mouth to mouth with him, oh, it’s amazing! Hey, she was actually rescued by her.”
Yao Hua’s father was very excited now, and hurriedly grabbed the trumpet and asked the reason and history of the matter in detail.
“Yo, then why haven’t I heard of this soft lady named Si Hongcang? And you said that she is still talking to the ugly son of the Yun family? Then let her marry the ugly boy of the Yun family!”
Daddy Trumpet loves to talk about these short words from parents, and this time he said it more vigorously, “Oh, you dare to ask her to marry the ugly boy of the Yun family?! You will be stabbed in the spine by the unmarried boys in the village for saying this. You can’t call her a “soft lady” anymore. People, she has a strong waist and is very capable. She can hunt in the mountains, and farm in the fields! She also raises two pigs and a lot of chickens. Besides, there are no females. Father, if there are no sisters, that is really a good match for a marriage family!”
“Yo, isn’t it! So how old is she now? What does she look like?”
“Speaking of this, you don’t know, this Si Hongcang is twelve years old this year, man, he looks beautiful!”
“To say that women are beautiful? Isn’t it strange?”
“It’s not surprising, she really looks prettier than our boys’ family!”
“Is that so…” Father Yao Hua took Si Hongcang to the bottom of his heart now, thinking that he would come over to see her another day. He was so curious that a woman could look better than a boy! But he remembered the topic of their conversation again, so he continued, “By the way, what did you say about Xu Fumei? You actually let the ugly son of the Yun family go to Chenghu to dive?”
Just as he was about to organize some words and talk about Yun Ruo’s suicide, he heard a loud shout from the yard of Xu Fumei’s house, “Go away!”
This sound is so loud, it makes people’s ears numb!
A group of couples looked up, and Xu Fumei frowned and pursed her lips, standing on the steps of the gate with one hand on her hips, staring at them with murderous eyes.
Several couples hurriedly winked at each other, tugged at the plackets, and then disappeared quietly.
Trumpet father looked at Xu Fumei awkwardly, looked embarrassed, and whispered, “That’s how it was originally, I’m not allowed to say it!”
At this time, Xu Fumei’s father Chen Shi also came out. He looked at Trumpet’s father and Yao Hua’s father and said badly,
“We are all fathers, so why bother to bury other people’s sons? Who does Brother Yun want to marry his Yun Ruo, or even if he stays at home to be an old brother, it is his own business, and he doesn’t go to anyone else’s house. Beg for food.
Besides, ‘radish and cabbage, each has his own love’, is it all a matter of saying that this mediator is close? People are not allowed to have any other opinions and ideas. Anyone who does not agree is ignorant. Then I have to ask Yao Hua’s father, are all your mediators ready? If it doesn’t work, you’re totally blaming others for not knowing the good and the bad, then who would dare to look for you as a matchmaker in the future? “
Yao Hua’s father was a little anxious when he saw that the Chen family was involved in his job. He wanted to say that he was kind and wanted to talk to him, but looking at Xu Fumei’s glaring eyes, he thought that this was not his own village after all, or not Going too far, he endured the words, grunted reluctantly, turned his head and walked away with his fat buttocks.
Here, Xu Fumei clenched her fists with both hands and glared fiercely at the trumpet father, her expression was so ferocious and terrifying that he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
Chen shi snorted and turned around and entered the room, while saying bitterly, “This big trumpet man doesn’t say good things all day long!”
Xu Fu’s sister, Xu Dachun, was sitting at the dining table, and she was listening to the movement outside with her ears pricked up just now. It’s just that she’s a big woman, and it’s just that she doesn’t make it out.
Chen Shi sighed, “Alas! Brother-in-law Yun is very angry this time. He loves Yun Ruo the most. Pity this child is such a waste!”
Hearing this, Xu Fumei pursed her lips tightly and secretly blamed herself! If he hadn’t said those rambling remarks in a hurry at the beginning, he wouldn’t have embarrassed Yun Ruo so much, and now he’s been buried by a Hachiko like that!
I thought to myself: Since no one is willing to marry him, let me marry him!
Xu Dachun pounded the bowl with his chopsticks and said loudly, “As long as Yunshan and his wife don’t agree, who can take Yun Ruo to the ground? Those people are all full and idle!”
Chen Shi complained, “That’s true. But Jiang Ziliao’s house is too bad. What does this sister have to do with her brother-in-law? If you don’t like it, you won’t like it. Why do you say that his son is in the way? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Yun Ruo can’t get married, can he still eat leisurely? He is so capable, can’t he earn enough food for himself?”
Xu Dachun said angrily, “It’s all blind guys. Sooner or later, that family will regret it. That child of Yuntian will be very promising in the future.”
That night, the Yun family surrounded the lamp, listening to Yun Tian’s plan.
At first, Yunshan and his wife did not agree that their daughter and son took the so-called reward from Si Hongcang. But after the daughter told what Si Hongcang had said to them, the husband and wife felt that Si Hongcang’s words to Yuntian sister and brother also made sense. That’s why I felt relieved and no longer felt entangled and embarrassed for taking Si Hongcang’s money.
It’s just that the distribution of such a large sum of money still makes their husband and wife feel a little guilty. Moreover, even if they only helped Ah Cang get that table of chicken dishes, they even shared a silver tael!
Of course, Yunshan and his wife would never take away the reward that Si Hongcang gave to his son Ruo’er.
Yun Tian held a piece of paper in his hand and said to his parents and Yun Ruo, “The day before yesterday, A Cang and I went to the village chief’s house to ask about the land in Xiaoli Mountain, and the better wasteland costs five taels of silver per mu. , even the first-class ones cost three taels of silver. Those mature fields cost more than ten taels of silver per mu. I thought, since I want to grow tea with Ah Cang, I should buy the mountain that Ah Cang was looking for. That piece of land is yin and yang, and five acres of land only cost one tael of silver.”
Song Shi said, “Since you want to grow tea, if you don’t buy other land, just buy the mountains.”
Yun Shan hurriedly agreed, “Yes! Your father is right.”
Yun Tian asked Yun Ruo, “Ruo Er, do you want to buy tea grown in the mountains too?”
Yun Ruo smiled and said, “The money is for you to buy land, of course, why did you ask me?” He didn’t put the money into his private property, but only used the silver taels to honor his mother and father. And the words that he would have said to Si Hongcang back then were just words he said when he was in a panic.
“Of course I have to ask you. That’s the money you earned yourself! My mother and I won’t take that money from you.” Song Shiben said to his son seriously.
Because, even if he said he would support him for the rest of his life, but after a hundred years with his wife and master, if there is no money on his son, how will he live in the future? I know that my daughter will love my brother, but who knows how his future brother-in-law will treat him?
“Father…” Song Shi’s words made Yun Ruo’s tears almost flow down. My heart is very grateful: This is my mother and father! Planning everything for myself…
Yun Shan made a decision for his son in one bite and said with a smile, “Just buy Shan Shan and grow tea with Ah Cang! In the future, you will have a foundation when you are old.”
“Ruo’er listens to her mother and father.” How fortunate he is, how can he not let himself be more filial to them?
So everyone laughed. In the end, the plan was right. Yun Ruo bought all the mountains, Yuntian bought half of the mountains, and half of the sloping land opposite Si Hongcang’s house.
Yuntian calculated it carefully, and set the time for the land reclamation to be the season after the New Year before the spring ploughing began. Construction of the house is scheduled to start immediately after the spring ploughing is completed. She was a little hesitant when she remembered that it was raining heavily at that time.
Song said, “If it really doesn’t work, we’ll wait until next fall to build a house. Let’s make some adobe at home and build a simple pigpen to use first.”
Yunshan said, “That’s not going to work, it’s a waste of time. Why don’t you ask some people to make the pigpen stronger. When the house is built next year, the pigpen will not be demolished, so why not use it? Think about the house first. Where to build it, after planning, set aside the land first.”
Yun Tian said in agreement, “This is also possible. After all, this pigpen is going to be expanded. This arrangement doesn’t appear to be in a panic, and it saves you being unable to catch the head when you can.”
The next thing is up to the women to do it.
