Old Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Yanping's grandparents and grandsons were not happy to enjoy the moon, and the atmosphere at the dining table next door at the Zhu family was even more stiff.

Jin, Zhu Shiyu, and Zhu Shuangshuang didn't look at Ah Jiao. Zhu Chang felt sorry for his niece, so he just talked to Ah Jiao. As a result, Jin became even more angry and didn't eat a piece of mooncake. He pretended that he was cold and felt uncomfortable, so he went back to the house first.

As soon as Jin left, Zhu Shuangshuang followed suit, and Gillian looked squintingly, and returned to the wing room.

Zhu Shiyu dared not be as willful as his mother and sister. He lowered his head and just ate mooncakes, and used his eyes to sneak a glance at his cousin's white and tender little hands. Zhu Chang remembered that this turtle son dared to bully his niece. He disliked Zhu Shiyu and drove his son away with a cold face. At the square dining table, only Jiao and Zhu Chang were left.

Looking at the three idle bowls and chopsticks, Gillian whispered: "Why are you doing my uncle? I said you can enjoy the moon tonight, so I'll go to bed early."

The Jin family and her daughter did not welcome her, and Gillian didn't want to come over and get annoyed.

She really had no other place to go, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed at her uncle's house. Even if her parents were still alive, even if the family was so poor that they could eat bran and grass, they would have to go to the fields to work every day, and would not want to live under her aunt's nose.

Zhu Chang took a sip of wine and sighed: "It's all a family, what are you talking about?"

Gillian stopped talking.

Zhu Chang didn't know what to talk to his niece, so he drank wine at the moon.

When Ajiao looked at her uncle, she was almost forty years old, with many wrinkles on her face. Her uncle studied too much and her eyes were not very good. Sometimes she had to squint her eyes before she could see clearly. Ajiao came back last year. Since then, her uncle has been stuck between her and her aunt and rarely really laughed.

On one hand, there are wives and children, and on the other hand, there are nieces who have been scattered for many years. Who is more important?

The answer is self-evident, but my uncle still deals with his aunt, cousin and cousin alone in order to protect her.

Jiao felt sour. She took away her uncle's wine and lowered her head and said, "Uncle, if someone comes to propose marriage, whether it is a wife or a concubine, I am willing to do whatever family background."

It wouldn't be more difficult to live in another place than to be at my uncle's house. Leaving will make my uncle look happy again, and Gillian is excited.

Zhu Chang was stunned on the chair.

Gillian smiled and said, "It's getting late, my uncle will go back to the house to rest."

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the wing room.

After walking a few steps, Gillian suddenly heard a depressed cry, her eyes burst into tears, and her tears fell.

Zhu Chang lay on the table and cried for a long time, as if he cried out from the guilt of the past few years and the torture of the past year.

The bright moonlight shone on his figure and seemed extremely desolate.

After enough crying, Zhu Chang wiped his eyes and finally drank a bowl of wine. He walked back to the house firmly.

Jin hid in front of the window and peeked for a while. Seeing her husband coming in, she hurriedly lay in the quilt and pretended to go to bed.

Zhu Chang knew that she was not asleep yet, and stood at the head of the bed. Zhu Chang said without any discussion: "I'm sorry to Jiaojiao, you're even more sorry to Jiaojiao. From tomorrow on, how can you treat Jiaojiao? If Jiaojiao can't marry, I will raise her for the rest of my life. It's best if you can accept her. If you can't accept it, tell me as soon as possible, I'll write a letter of seal and separation for you, and you can remarry yourself!"

Jin never expected that he would wait for such a word!

Seeing her husband lying there crying at the age of time, Jin was quite uncomfortable, but now her husband threatened her to drive her away. Jin's anger and grievance surged up. He suddenly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, pointed at Zhu Chang and cried loudly: "You are so damn, I have children for you and manage this family for you, you actually want to divorce me! What do you mean I am sorry for her? Why did she feel sorry for her? When she was sick when she was a child, I decocted her medicine and fed her medicine. That year, you took the money to take the exam. Brother Yu was seriously ill and couldn't afford to wait for me, so he had to sell her..."

"Then why don't you sell your daughter!" Zhu Chang interrupted his wife's loud voice and roared angrily! If his wife sells his daughter, he at least doesn't have to feel as guilty as he is now!

"Shuangshuang is the flesh that I fell from ten months of pregnancy. I am not as cruel as you, and I can even sell my biological daughter!" Jin was clamoring louder, and he wanted to jump up and fly to the roof, so that the people of Wu'an County could hear her voice, "You have passed the scholar and passed the exam, and my son survived well. You did nothing and took advantage of everything. Now you are here to blame me for selling your niece! You are so guilty. Why didn't you go to Huayue Tower to grab people? Several guards stood in a row and scared you away. You are a coward. You don't dare to beat outsiders. You will only vent your anger on me!"

"You can try another word!"

"I'll just shout..."

With a "bang", Zhu Chang slapped Jin's head and directly slapped Jin's head, and he fell to the ground like a kite.

Jin did not move for a long time.

The hand that Zhu Chang was hitting people was shaking constantly. Just as the anger in his eyes was replaced by panic. Just when he wanted to walk over to see how his wife was doing, Jin moved. She slowly supported her to reveal the corner of her mouth with blood, which was wiped clean by her hands. Tears rolled down in her eyes. Jin looked at Zhu Chang and sneered: "He Li, He Li, you don't have us mother and daughter in your heart, and I don't want to stay in this family anymore!"

Zhu Chang pursed his lips and sat on the bed.

Jin packed up her bag overnight. Just as dawn the next day, she didn't make breakfast and pulled her daughter Zhu Shuangshuang out.

Zhu Chang was still lying on the bed, his eyes were open and covered with blood.

Zhu Shiyu stopped her mother and sister in front of the house and refused to let her mother and sister go away. While throwing her bag on the Zhu family's donkey cart, Jin stared viciously inside and shouted: "Shiyu, you don't need to stop me. I'm sorry to your Zhu family, I'm sorry to your Zhu family's little ancestors. I'll go far away and never come back! I'll get on the bus and follow me to live with your uncle's house. My uncle loves my niece, and my dad doesn't want you. Let's go find your uncle to love you!"

Zhu Shuangshuang knew that her mother was doing it, and her father would go to her grandmother's house to pick them up in a few days, so she didn't miss the donkey cart.

Jin Shi swung her whip a few times and drove away the car.

At the Zhao family next door, Zhao Yanping was awakened by Jin's loud voice.

He lay on the bed with a frown.

Before going to bed last night, he heard that Jin and Zhu Chang had a fight over her. This morning, Jin came again, and the arguing was known to everyone in the neighborhood. The most uncomfortable thing is to rely on her under someone else's roof.

Zhao Yanping didn't understand. Why can't Jin's tolerance be tolerated by her a soft and weak girl who can't eat much? It's obvious that Jin's sorry for her.

Today is still on vacation, and Zhao Yanping doesn't have to go to the yamen. After being woken up by Jin, he simply got up early and went to the backyard to chop firewood.

After washing his face, Mrs. Zhao walked to the door of the back door. She saw her grandson slashing the wooden stakes with big axes in her hands. Her grandson was naked and her big sweat beads were flowing with beans on her back. Her two arms were slender and powerful, and she looked extremely powerful. No wonder she was attracted by the old captain and accepted as her apprentice. With her grandson's body, ordinary thieves were scared to death. How could they have the courage to run away again?

"I finally had two days off and I left all these work to Guo Xing, so you can stay there."

Old Mrs. Zhao came over and couldn't bear to let her grandson get tired.

Zhao Yanping just kept chopping wood in silence.

Old Mrs. Zhao hummed and stood aside and said, "You have heard the movements of the Zhu family? If we don't help Ah Jiao, she really can't survive. So what if my uncle loves her? How can she be better than the person next to the pillow? Don't look at Zhu Xiucai who didn't stop his wife, you might regret it now. Maybe the couple deliberately acted a play and forced Ah Jiao to agree to be a concubine for the rich businessman."

Old Mrs. Zhao knew that her grandson was cold and warm. Maybe her grandson didn't want A Jiao's beauty, but A Jiao's life was so miserable, and she would definitely be sad if she could help her but not, especially because A Jiao's life was so similar to her granddaughter Xiangyun.

Zhao Yanping continued to chop wood.

Cui Niang suddenly asked at the north gate of the main hall: "Old lady, what are you eating this morning?"

Old Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and said, "Cook porridge, fry a few more sticks of twisted flowers, and fry more."

Cui Niang and his sister came from the north. Old Mrs. Zhao taught Cui Niang to make home-cooked food in the south of the Yangtze River, and occasionally liked Cui Niang to make some northern foods and taste them. Her favorite food was fried mozzarella.

Cui Niang is not smart, she cooks very deliciously and has quick hands and feet, so she quickly prepared breakfast.

The golden-fried twists were placed in a large iron basin. Old Mrs. Zhao divided two for Cui Niang and her brother and sister. She sat alone at a table to eat with her grandson.

Zhao Yanping took a bite of Mahua and drank a bite of porridge, and ate it very quickly.

There were three large pieces left in the pot and the mows were left, Mrs. Zhao said a pity: "If I had known that you loved eating so much, I should have asked Cui Niang to make more."

Zhao Yanping said: "Enough to eat." He was already full.

Old Mrs. Zhao pointed to the three mohuas and asked, "You really don't want it?"

Zhao Yanping nodded.

Old Mrs. Zhao said, "Then I will take it to the Zhu family together. I probably don't have the mood to make breakfast this morning, so I will go and help them."

Zhao Yanping suddenly understood that his grandmother wanted to go over and discuss taking a concubine.

"Please ask for a matchmaker." Zhao Yanping looked at his grandmother and said.

Old Mrs. Zhao frowned: "There are people living next door, they are all acquaintances. What matchmaker should I hire? If you have a reward for the matchmaker, it is better to keep it for you to drink."

Zhao Yanping insisted: "She is a good daughter, and taking a concubine is also a good concubine. The courtesy should not be abolished."

Old Mrs. Zhao's heart skipped a beat and stared at her grandson and said, "Good concubine, why do you want to beat drums and gongs and hire a sedan chair to welcome her into the door?"

According to Mrs. Zhao's idea, no one wants Ah Jiao in the Zhu family. Zhu Chang and Jin both made such a fuss. They were eager to send Ah Jiao away. They were so happy that they came to hire him. How could they have the confidence to bargain with each other? But according to her grandson's intention, she actually wanted to give Ah Jiao all the decency she deserved?

She knew that her grandson was kind-hearted, but should she be so kind-hearted?

"Our family has too much money, right?" Old Mrs. Zhao glared at her grandson in displeasure, "The market for good concubines in the county, the betrothal gift is at least five taels of silver..."

Zhao Yanping interrupted her and said, "Zhu Chang is a scholar, she is the scholar's niece. You said she looks like a fairy and her value should be higher. Let's pay ten taels."

Old Mrs. Zhao almost vomited blood!

Ten taels, she saved up for so many years and saved up about thirty taels of silver. One day she would hold a first-class and decent wedding banquet for her grandson, but her grandson actually asked her to take out ten taels to buy a concubine?

"Don't forget that she was a kiln sister!" Old Mrs. Zhao grabbed a twisted flower and knocked it on the iron basin, expressing her dissatisfaction with emotion.

Zhao Yanping blocked the old lady's words last night: "Didn't you say that I'm giving her to Xiangyun to accumulate merit? The more decent I give her, the more merits I accumulate, the more good rewards God will give to Xiangyun."

Old Mrs. Zhao immediately lost the reason to refute.

But she was so angry that she didn't want to invite a matchmaker.

When Zhao Yanping saw this, he called Guo Xing and asked Guo Xing to invite the matchmaker. Then he called Cui Niang to come and asked Cui Niang to send the two twists in the basin to the next door. There were originally three, but one of them was held in the hand by Old Mrs. Zhao and pinched them crooked.

Cui Niang didn't hear the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren, and said in confusion: "Who will I give to two mozzarellas?"

Zhao Yanping selflessly assigned: "One Xiucai, one of the girls of Ajiao."
