"The Zhou family has a simple population, and both husband and wife are honest people. Even though they once sold out the land while treating Mrs. Zhou, they are a filial couple, so I chose to lease the land to them." Bai Zepei continued. .

"Aunt Zhou invited me to her house for dinner. During the conversation, she mentioned that a girl from our village was going to marry in Linjiang Village. It would only take less than a month. I was afraid that the affairs of our family would be exposed, so I worried that After asking Mrs. Zhou a few questions, it turned out that the woman she mentioned was your good sister Fang Guizhi." Bai Zepei said and took a deep look at Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu opened her mouth in shock, "I'm worried about Guizhi. I haven't seen her for a few days, so I went to her house to look for her. Her mother said she was sick and wouldn't let me see anyone, but she didn't even need to get married. So sneaky, right?”

There was some sympathy in Bai Zepei's eyes. He shook his head slightly and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Because he is your friend, I asked more about it and found out the person her mother told her to kiss." He was a widower, already thirty-three years old, and it was rumored in the village that he liked to drink and beat his wife. The person in front of him who was beaten by him did not look like a human being or a ghost, and he died of illness in the end."

"What?" Bai Ruozhu felt as if she had been struck by thunder. She jumped up, "Don't Guizhi's mother know? Why tell her such a family? Isn't she pushing Guizhi into the fire pit?"

There was a sarcastic smile in Bai Zepei's eyes, "That Yang Laosan's family is quite wealthy, but because of his bad reputation, he always looks for continuations from distant villages, and he is willing to give up the betrothal gift."

"What a sin, are the Fang family going to sell their daughter? What kind of parents are these!" Lin Ping'er shouted. Fang Guizhi and Bai Ruozhu were friends, and she had watched Fang Guizhi grow up. When she heard this, she Become anxious.

Bai Yihong also sighed, "I also said that I would ask Guizhi's father to inquire. It seems that I will have to find a chance to persuade her father tomorrow."

"Yes, how can a good girl like Sister Guizhi marry an old widower and a wife-beater." Bai Zehao also shook his head, showing a look of regret.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't sit still, "No, I have to find a way to see Guizhi. No wonder her mother refused to let me in. It must be Guizhi who didn't want to. She put Guizhi under house arrest."

"Little sister, please don't be impulsive. Brother will help you visit Fang's house later." Bai Zehao thought for a while and said.

Bai Ruozhu shook her head hurriedly. Bai Zehao was helping to find Fang Guizhi. After all, there were differences between men and women. Her eldest brother was still the one who was about to get married. What if something went wrong and affected his marriage?

"Brother, you can't go. I'll find a way to sneak into Fang's house later to find Guizhi." Bai Ruozhu still has space. If she is discovered by someone, she will hide in the space. The other party will definitely think it's dazzled at night.

The Bai family was worried. Bai Ruozhu visited Fang's family at night and tried to persuade her. In the end, Bai Ruozhu blocked them all. She looked at everyone and said, "Guizhi grew up with me and is my best friend. Even if I really can’t save her, but I also want to see her before she gets married, otherwise I won’t be able to feel at ease in my life.”

Lin Ping'er quietly wiped the corners of her eyes and muttered: "They all have daughters, how can Madam Guizhi be so cruel."

Rong'er's wife and Rong'er were not in a position to interrupt at first, so they just hugged Rong'er tightly from the side. But now after hearing Lin Ping'er's emotion, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "I love Rong'er the most, I am determined to She doesn’t want her daughter to suffer. Is that Guizhi her mother’s biological child? Isn’t she the stepmother?”

Lin Ping'er hurriedly explained, "Guizhi's mother is very patriarchal. Her son is the most precious thing. She doesn't let her son do any work at home. Instead, her daughter does all the menial and tiring work."

Bai Ruozhu felt that the string in her heart was plucked, as if the clouds were suddenly lifted. She remembered that Guizhi had said that her mother was looking for a wife for his brother, and it seemed that her brother had found someone he liked. Now Guizhi Niang wants to marry Guizhi to the widower in exchange for a betrothal gift. Is this just to use the gift money to hire a wife for Fang Furong?

Needless to say, this must be the case. This kind of thing is also common in modern rural areas. It's just that the daughter is usually married off and accepts the betrothal gift to give her son a wife, but she doesn't push the daughter into the fire pit. She doesn't believe that Guizhi Niang doesn't know. Which Yang Laosan beats his wife.

"Mom and dad, don't worry. Guizhi and I have a code. When the Fang family goes to bed at night, I will shout the code outside and she will find a way to meet me." Bai Ruozhu was afraid that her family would be worried, so she simply made it up. The lie came out. She and Fang Guizhi met often on weekdays. What secret code was needed?

Lin Ping'er didn't want her daughter to take risks, but it wasn't appropriate for anyone in the family to accompany her. If a man accompanied her, wouldn't it ruin Guizhi's reputation if someone caught her? It would be better if she was the only one to accompany him, but she might have to hold Bai Ruozhu back.

In the end, no one could defeat Bai Ruozhu. After nightfall, Bai Ruozhu changed into dark and neat clothes and quietly left the Bai family. Even though the lights were turned off in the Bai family, no one was sleeping.

In the end, Bai Zepei stood up quietly and whispered to Bai Zehao: "I'm going to go to the village to pick up my little sister if anything happens."

Bai Zehao felt that he should go by himself, but he thought that he had a marriage, so he had to give up the idea.

Bai Ruozhu quietly took some detours and finally arrived at the backyard of Fang's house. She wanted to climb over the wall and enter Fang's house, but looking at the high courtyard wall, she tried several times and couldn't reach the height at all.

Sure enough, climbing on the wall is not suitable for a lady like her. Bai Ruozhu was anxious but came up with such an idea. Even she felt a little bit immature.

Just when Bai Ruozhu was worried, she suddenly heard a low cry coming from the Fang family's yard. The sound was very soft, as if her mouth was covered and she was sobbing.

Even though the sound was very soft and vague, Bai Ruozhu immediately recognized that it was Fang Guizhi's voice!

She wanted to call Guizhi, but in the end she didn't dare to speak. She was afraid that she would wake up the Fang family and not see Guizhi tonight. And the date of Guizhi's wedding was not yet certain, so delaying it for a day would be dangerous.

At this moment, Bai Ruozhu suddenly heard very slight footsteps. She was startled, and subconsciously wanted to enter the space, but a cold voice came from behind: "Step on my shoulder."

It's the second brother! Bai Ruozhu turned around and saw that his second brother was also wearing dark clothes, and he looked even thinner.

"Why are you here? What if someone sees you?" Bai Ruozhu asked in a low voice, but there was surprise and emotion in his tone.

Bai Zepei had already walked to the base of the wall, squatting down as if waiting for Bai Ruozhu to be carried up. He whispered without raising his head: "What can I do? The worst I can do is marry someone else's daughter. Do I just have to watch you make trouble?" ?”

Bai Ruozhu's eye circles suddenly warmed up. The second brother had no feelings for Guizhi, and he didn't want to get married so early. He was here to help her regardless of his reputation and consequences!
