Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Liu Yu patiently listened to Nian's words, but fortunately Nian quickly returned to the topic.

"Early this morning, it was said that Shui Sanmei had gone crazy again, and Huang Ying was scolded so hard that she couldn't even raise her head. She said that he was evil-hearted and didn't want my sister-in-law to marry well. He wanted to pick on her flaws just to save himself. I wish Xiuxiu could stay at home and work as a horse for him for the rest of her life!"

"Xiuxiu has announced the marriage, but I don't know what the man's family background is or where he is from!"

Liu Yu was really curious. Seeing the worry in Changsheng's eyes, she simply asked about it herself.

"I don't know, but Shui Sanmei kept it a secret. She only said that she was a friend of Changshou and a businessman who ran away goods. The family had so much money that even the strongest man in the village couldn't carry it!"

After finishing speaking, Nian curled her lips, obviously like the other villagers, she felt that Shui Sanmei was bragging.

Liu Yu and Changsheng looked at each other, both worried.

If this is really a serious businessman, that's all. I'm afraid that he is a gangster who got acquainted with Changshou Gambling House. If he loses money, he can't get it back, so he can only settle the account with Xiuxiu!

What is this man doing alive?

Xiuxiu was born well, with bright eyes and white teeth, and she was of the right age. She never expected to meet such an inhumane brother.

Liu Yu's heart was full of depression!

"I heard from Brother Xian's mother that Xiuxiu has not had any water or rice for two days. She said that if she was given away randomly, she would only want to die!"

Nian's eyes were full of pity. It was not that Xiu Xiu would definitely die, but it was a pity that such a good girl should have been married to a good man. With only her parents and brothers looking like her, no good family would dare to come to propose marriage.

It's just a pity that this girl's life will be dragged down long ago.

After all, it was someone else's business. The Nians sighed and then put their hands away. Liu Fusheng hadn't returned from buying the piglets. Liu Yu looked at the shadow of the sun and started preparing to bake lunch without delay.

...........................

It was noon, and smoke was rising from every house in the village, creating a scene of fireworks.

Mrs. Ren was holding a bowl of hot rice that had just been served. When she saw the cold pot and stove in Tian Fugui's house next door, she couldn't help but chuckle, opened the door and walked in.

"Mother Changxi, you haven't eaten yet!"

Shui Sanmei walked into Tian's house and looked around. Seeing that everything was tidied up neatly, she couldn't help but feel pity. It's a pity that Huang Ying has such a good temper. If she had a bad temper and character, it would be a bustle every day!

"Hey, I thought I could just let go when Chang Xi got married, but look at this, it's already dinner time, and people are still wandering outside, just trying to avoid going home, but I'm so pissed off by that black-hearted bitch. I can’t get up, so I’m going to starve to death first so that I can be the master of the family!”

Shui Sanmei was lying in the east room, moaning constantly and looking haggard.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Ren was in a good mood. She also knew that her headache was probably just a fake, so she didn't expose it.

He just said with a concerned look: "This headache is really uncomfortable. Brother Ying has just married into the family not long ago. Just looking at her usual diligence, you can tell that she is not like this. Please don't wrong my child." , makes people feel chilled!"

The more Ren said this, the angrier Shui Sanmei became. She felt that Huang Ying was really cunning and was only good at takeout. The whole village was coaxed to think of him as a good person, and his face was filled with anger!

"How is Xiuxiu today? But after eating, this child is the best with my brother Xian. Seeing her like this makes me feel really bad!"

Mr. Ren sat by the Kang and ate with Shui Sanmei's ugly expression on her face. She felt that the tasteless rice in the bowl also became sweeter.

"Hmph, why don't you come here to see my family's joke? No matter how bad my family's Xiuxiu is, she is still an innocent girl. No matter which family she marries into, no one can find anything wrong with her. Your handsome brother was kidnapped by Ren Dabao. This is the only thing I can’t explain clearly in this life!”

Shui Sanmei was originally angry, but during this period of time, Ren always showed off how much the Liu family liked Brother Xian, how much they built a new house, and how much betrothal gifts they paid.

It happens that my house is a mess, and when I compare the two, I feel very unhappy.

At this moment, when I saw the old god Ren sitting by his kang, eating, and talking about Xiuxiu for being careless, I felt angry, and my words became yin and yang.

Seeing Ren's ugly face, she felt happy in her heart, and even pulled the corners of her lips to sneer provocatively at Ren.

"How do you say this? I watched Xiuxiu grow up, how could I see her jokes? It was my brother Xian who was also stupid and caused trouble to me when he took in my nephew who deserved to be extinct. Fortunately, there are The Liu family rescued me, so my brother Xian is very lucky, and now being married to the Liu family is not a God-given fate!"

In her heart, Mrs. Ren wanted to tear Sanmei Shui's mouth apart, but she was also afraid that this girl would not be able to stop her mouth and would involve more, so she had to hide it for the time being, put it down gently, and tried to change the subject of the conversation.

When Shui Sanmei heard Ren's unselfish curse on her own nephew, she thought of the village chief's warning to her that day, and her heart trembled!

He said hurriedly: "I am confused by the evil-hearted anger of my family. I said nonsense, but please don't take it seriously!"

"Xiuxiu is a child who is young and doesn't understand much. Her brother can still harm her. It's hard to find such a good family. As soon as you enter the house, you will wear gold and silver, eat well and drink well, and have a little maid to serve you. Such a good family It’s hard to find even with a lantern, but she’s the one causing trouble, just like longevity has tricked her!”

When Mrs. Shui saw that Third Sister Shui had deliberately exposed it, she followed her words and said, "Who says it's not the case? Xiuxiu has been pampered since she was a child. She doesn't know the hard work of a stove in the field. Once she has endured the hardship, it will be too late to regret it!"

After saying that, he stood up with the bowl and said, "I'm also worried about Xiu Xiu. I'll go check on her for you and see if I can persuade her to move!"

"Don't lie down. If you get seriously ill, it will be troublesome. Chang Xi and Huang Ying are filial. They will sell their land to treat your illness. Don't you feel bad!"

After saying that, he looked at Shui Sanmei with an expression that said you can't fool me, with a very close look on her face.

Shui Sanmei was moved when she heard that the land was being sold for medical treatment. When she saw Ren turning around and going out, she started to think about it.

Half a month ago, Changshou Xingye came back. He only said that he had met a goods merchant and wanted to marry Xiuxiu to him. The betrothal gift was also large, thirty taels of silver.

Shui Sanmei is her mother, and Xiuxiu is the only girl. She has won her heart on weekdays, but she felt something was wrong at the moment. After several interrogations, Changshou came clean.

It turned out that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he recovered from his injuries and vowed to work hard in the future. After taking some money, he said he was going out to see if there was any small business.

Not wanting to meet his former gambling buddies, he gave in half-heartedly and entered the gambling house again.

He also won the first few games, winning a total of fifteen taels. He thought about winning another five taels and collecting enough twenty taels to buy back the land that his family had sold to settle his gambling debt.

I didn't want to start getting unlucky and start losing. I also won during the period, but I lost more and won less. Soon, I lost all my fifteen taels plus my original one tael.

According to his own statement, he wanted to get out his capital and leave, so he borrowed money from a gambling house. Then he borrowed more and more and lost more, and in the end he lost as much as thirty taels!

After hearing this, Tian Fugui hit him with a stick. Although he had been lazy and disliked work all his life, he only slept at home and never even drank much wine!

This prodigal thing often loses dozens of taels, which makes him feel distressed to death.

Thirty taels of silver, even if you eat meat and drink wine every day, you can't spend it all in a year and a half.

The gambling shop gave him a one-month deadline, and if he didn't pay back within that time, he would chop off his hands and pick his tendons, beat him severely, and make him fearful, so he would let him go home.

Thirty taels of silver is a lot of money for farmers and small farmers.

Some people don't have so much savings in their entire lives. Shui Sanmei's hands cramped when she heard the chopping, and she was very worried.

At this time, Changshou had no master, and there was another businessman. I heard that he had a girl of about the same age in his family, and he wanted to take her as his concubine. If she agreed, she would pay off the thirty-two gambling debts for him.

Changshou swore that the businessman was definitely rich and a good person. His first wife was dead and his daughter was grown up, so he wanted to find a considerate person who knew both coldness and warmth.

"Although she is a concubine, Xiuxiu cannot bear the grievance of not having a mistress at home. She will raise a son and a half daughters in the future, but she is afraid that she will not be able to get a share of the family property!"

Shui Sanmei was very moved by what she said, but she really couldn't find any money to fill the hole in Changshou. The patriarch had spoken before her, and she would never dare to sell her land again, and the fields from her family could not withstand the sale.

Although I know I have wronged my daughter, there are also rich and noble days, so that's all.

What Ren said just now touched her heart, and Xiuxiu refused to obey.

I couldn't bear to watch my child suffer from cramps due to his severed hand. I had been extremely anxious these past two days, and my mouth was full of blisters.

In the past two days, I no longer expected Xiuxiu to change her mind. She was just thinking about how to sell the land to hide it from the clan leader.

The crops in the fields will be harvested in two months. Nian felt distressed thinking about this. Thirty taels of silver would cost at least four acres of land.

It would be absolutely impossible for her to sell more than four acres of land.

Shui Sanmei looked at the direction Ren left, her eyes darkened, and she had no choice but to feel sorry for Brother Xian.
