Chapter 40

Shu Ying thought she was lucky.

Although when they left Ziyang County, they met someone who should have been sent by Xiao Li's witch doctor from An Town, they didn't find themselves even when they were so close. That was the most fortunate thing. As for where they were going next, Shu Ying was still not worried with Chen Wu.

Following Ning'an River, Chen Wu drove Shu's carriage and walked away from several villages. Then he finally found a slightly larger town, entered the town in dusty weather, and found a cheap inn and stayed in.

"Where is Uncle Chen going to find your cousin?" Shu Yun couldn't help but ask.

"I will accompany Miss Shu to find the Qi family, and it will be not too late to find my cousin." Chen Wu quickly replied when he heard Shu Ying's words: "After all, more than ten years have passed, so I don't care about waiting for ten or half a month."

"More than ten years? Uncle Chen, you have been disconnected for so long. Didn't you think about looking for it?" Shu Ying heard this and looked at Chen Wu in surprise and asked. She didn't understand very well. In such a situation, shouldn't it be that I had discovered something wrong and went to check the news earlier? Why did you let the time pass?

"A few years before Zhen Niang got married, she sent letters back every year. So we always thought she was living a good life and didn't have the idea of ​​finding her! In addition, my aunt had Brother Mu around her for those years, so she would not have time to think of Zhen Niang's in-laws' house!" Chen Wu sighed, not knowing what she thought of, "Zhen Niang got married at the age of 17 and was pregnant three years later. Later, she sent a letter to her aunt, saying that she had given birth to a fat boy. In the next two years, she only sent one or two letters a year. We all thought that Zhen Niang had a child and devoted all her heart to the child, so the contact gradually faded..."

Shu Ying thought about it and nodded in agreement. As for maternal love, he naturally gave all his all!

"In the eighth year after Zhenniang got married, she wrote a letter to say that the child was gone." Chen Wu's expression gradually became solemn. "When I received the letter, my aunt couldn't bear it. She called Brother Mu to pack up her gifts and prepare to find Zhenniang, afraid that she would do stupid things... But unexpectedly, before my aunt and the others set off, Zhenniang's letter arrived again, saying that she was pregnant again, and the in-laws and the cousin were very kind to her, asking her and the aunt and the others not to worry, nor to be too sad for the sake of the child. After the child was born, I would ask my aunt and the others to come over and take a look."

"Considering the situation of Zhenniang in her in-laws' family and her feelings of losing her son, my aunt and Brother Mu thought for a long time before giving up on the plan to find Zhenniang. Instead, she waited for the news that Zhenniang gave birth at home and then went to the door! However, none of us expected that this letter would be waiting for another year and a half, and there was no news about Zhenniang..."

"That year, my aunt got sick and hired a witch doctor to see her. She said she could not travel a long distance and had to rest for a long time. But my aunt was worried about Zhen Niang, so she asked Brother Mu to pack up her things and set off to find Zhen Niang."

"But, there is no news about Brother Mu's trip!"

Chen Wu's face faintly turned pale, and he seemed to lose his appetite when he looked at the delicious food on the table: "One or two years, we sent letters to Zhen Niang every year and asked about Brother Mu's situation. But he didn't come back a reply! Because of worry, my aunt, who was supposed to have recovered in half a year, was crying every day, and it took four years to get better! But after doing this, Zhen Niang has been married for four years! Brother Mu has also disappeared for four years... My aunt thought about looking for someone to look for, but her body couldn't hold on and could not go out at all. In addition, I signed a contract with the martial arts hall at that time, so it was even more impossible to leave, so this delay lasted for another three years."

"After counting, Zhen Niang is almost 37 years old this year... I don't know how old the child is!" Chen Wu seemed to think of some scene, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Shu Ying in a daze: "But where Brother Mu went, is he with Zhen Niang? I can only find out when we find them!"

"Well, I will find it! I will find it!" Shu Ying nodded quickly and said to Chen Wu with a comforting look on his face. You can't pour cold water on someone at such a moment, saying that everyone has been missing for so long and there has been no news. Maybe something happened? Is there always a good idea? I have hope!

Chen Wu laughed immediately when he heard this, and nodded with Shu Ying and said, "Miss Chengshu is auspicious."

Shu Ying smiled, and after thinking about it, he said again: "Uncle Chen, don't worry about finding Qi's family. Why don't we go to find your cousin first! Do you know where she married?"

"Miss Shu is not going to visit Qi's house?" Chen Wu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Shu Ying in surprise and asked, "Zhen Niang's in-laws' house is in Chengzhou, about a thousand miles away from our Ziyang County!"

"More than a thousand miles!" Shu Ying was shocked when he heard this, and silently calculated in his heart. He couldn't help but ask Chen Wu in surprise: "Uncle Chen, how did you choose your in-laws at such a distance?"

More than a thousand miles, that's more than five hundred kilometers! With the current traffic situation, what was the situation of the two families in the beginning to get married?! Could it be that if you walk for half a year, get married once, and then you will get married directly?

It's a bit ridiculous to think about it?!

"My brother-in-law's family is a business of goods. When I came to sell goods in Ziyang County, I encountered some minor trouble. At that time, Brother Mu and Zhen Niang happened to meet him and helped him. As a result, within two days, my brother-in-law came to propose marriage, saying that he fell in love with Zhen Niang at first sight and sincerely begged for marriage! My aunt was unwilling to make this marriage, after all, my brother-in-law's family was too far away! But no matter how disagree, she couldn't resist Zhen Niang's liking!"

Chen Wu said this, and couldn't help but sigh again, and then continued, "In addition, my brother-in-law has a good character and can talk to coax people. In the end, he coaxed his aunt and nodded and promised to let Zhenniang marry far away! He had been living in Ziyang County for three months. After asking for letters from his parents at home, he came to the engagement ceremony and gave the marriage."
Chapter completed!
