Chapter 8 Past Events
Xu Huaili and Wu Meiru were childhood sweethearts back then, but Wu Meiru really liked Xu Huaili, but Xu Huaili really never planned to marry Wu Meiru.
When Xu Huaili was studying, he thought of passing the imperial examination and becoming an official, and his wife who could help him.
Xu Huaili is also good-looking, so it is very likely that he will find a wife who is helpful to him. However, Mrs. Xu is short-sighted and wants to protect her parents' family, so she forced her son to marry Wu Meiru, but she couldn't force her. It was another design that made Wu Meiru lose her virginity to Xu Huaili.
In the end, because Wu Meiru became pregnant, Xu Huaili married Wu Meiru into the family. However, Wu Meiru's child ran away from home before Xu Huaili was born.
At that time, Xu Huaili felt that he had the ability and could not be down. Then, as a young and frivolous person, he had a too shallow understanding of the world, so he was deceived and even his pants were not left.
In this way, Xu Huaili fainted at the door of Zhou's house in the cold winter.
At that time, Xu Huaili was in a mess, so when Xu Huaili told the Zhou family that he had no father or mother, everyone in the Zhou family believed it.
Later, Xu Huaili was really talented and learned. The young Zhou family fell in love with Xu Huaili. Xu Huaili also liked Zhou family because of Zhou's beauty. Naturally, the two of them got together, got married, got pregnant and had children.
Really, Zhou did not know that before Xu Huaili deceived her, the two of them had a happy life. Even though Xu Huaili had never passed the exam for scholarship, even if Xu Huaili didn't like the girl's girl very much.
Later, the deeper the relationship between Zhou and Xu Huaili was, Zhou hated Xu Huaili's deception. So when someone from the Xu family came to find Xu Huaili for the reason why Old Mrs. Xu was seriously ill and asked him to go back, Zhou was extremely disappointed with Xu Huaili.
Xu Huaili has already married, even if it is not what he wants, but he should be responsible if he marrys him. However, Xu Huaili can ignore him for five or six years. If his brother hadn't come, Xu Huaili would have really prepared to refuse his parents. Such a person is the person Zhou hates the most.
So when Xu Huaili returned, Zhou asked Xu Huaili for his request for a letter of love, and Zhou did not hand over his children to Xu Huaili.
Now the girl thought about Xu Huaili. In fact, she was useless except for a face. She was not good at studying and was very considerate of herself. Moreover, Xu Huaili never took responsibility from birth to death. Before she met Zhou, Xu Huaili had been relying on her family. After marrying Zhou, Xu Huaili relied on the Zhou family.
As for Xu Huaili, he didn't believe that he missed Zhou's wife after he went back, and that person Xu Huaili was as selfish as Mrs. Xu. In Xu Huaili's opinion, everyone is probably not as important as him!
However, these things didn't matter now. Jiao Niang slowly stood up, looked back at the ancestral hall again, got up and left without hesitation.
The name is added to the genealogy and then report it to the government. The county magistrate is also considered the uncle of Jiao Niang and Xu Hang. Naturally, these things are easy, and there is no need for the Xu family to do anything. Just as Zhou and Wang Zhou talk about it.
After coming out, Mrs. Xu smiled and said to Zhou, "The food is ready. Sister Zhou, why don't I stay here and eat something?"
The Zhou family had this plan, after all, today they finally entered the genealogy, and they will also have clan members in the future. No matter what the Xu family is, it will be much more convenient for children to do a lot of things.
But the appearance of Mrs. Xu really made Zhou unwilling to stay here. Zhou didn't want to be wronged by herself and her children. She immediately said lightly: "No need, I just came to Huze County, and there are still many things to settle, so we will go back first."
The wife of the patriarch knew why Zhou was like this. Just now, Zhou took out the land deed of the twenty acres of land he bought for the Xu clan in front of the entire clan. The wife of the patriarch and the patriarch had already agreed that they would not take it. But the old lady Xu took it away directly when she saw the money. She also said that since Jiao Niang and Xu Hang are the children and grandchildren of the Xu family in the future, they should also respect her and ask Zhou to send ten taels of silver every month.
Although she stopped him immediately, it really made Zhou even more disgusted. She really had no choice but to see the old lady Xu, who was more and more willing to do it as she got older, and watching Zhou and them get farther and farther away from them were not what the leader’s wife wanted to see.
The wife of the patriarch looked at Wang Zhou, who was standing there smiling. Finally, the thought in her heart was laughing dryly: "My sister Zhou, since you have something to do, I won't keep you anymore. But no matter what, the Xu clan is still the backing of your two children, if you have anything to help, I will tell us."
Anyway, you must not turn against Zhou.
After all, Zhou was not the kind of absolutely cruel person. The patriarch's wife and Mrs. Xu were both good to her. Zhou did not have a cold face and eased his voice: "Thank you."
In the end, Zhou and others left, but when Zhou left, he gave the land deed of twenty acres of land to the patriarch's wife. Anyway, some of his attitude must be firmly expressed.
The two children finally entered the genealogy. Although many unpleasant things happened in the middle of the journey, Zhou still felt relaxed and was in the mood to do other things. He simply pulled Wang Zhou to look at the houses that Renyazi said in the afternoon and settled down.
Although her sister and brother-in-law living in the county magistrate's mansion didn't say anything, Zhou's strong personality still made her unwilling to live there all the time.
Maybe everything will go smoothly when things go well. They also found a very suitable house, a house with two inches in front and back, and a small yard behind them can grow vegetables.
It is located in the center of the street. The shop in front is neither big nor small, but it is enough to treat it as an embroidered shop. There are two rooms, six rooms, and six rooms, plus five main houses. The small courtyard at the end is also of a large area. Zhou planned to build two houses and hold people at home, and a kitchen can be added to the back.
This was the first time I saw a big house. Then I looked at the other houses that Renyazi mentioned. Zhou and others always thought that the first house was better. Although the price was 60 taels of silver, they couldn't stand the location and the area was large. Moreover, the house was 70% new, and it would be possible to live in a slight renovation.
The house has been confirmed, and the next thing to do is to renovate and build it. Wang Zhoushi said: "Lu Zhan, the chief of the yamen, knows many good craftsmen. If you feel at ease, you can ask him to find someone. The last time the county magistrate's renovation was done by the person he found, and it was very good."
