Chapter 18: A person must stand out before he can be respected

"What?!" Mr. Yu and his wife, as well as Yu Dalang and his wife, were all shocked by Yu Zhen's words.

Perhaps the most difficult words were said, and Yu Zhen let go. He said in a muffled voice what he had been thinking about for a long time: "I have always disliked Liu. It was my mother who chose her. I want to marry Xingniang."

"I knew it! Stop dreaming! Liu Xingniang has been married for a long time!" Zhang was so angry at her son that she didn't even bother to pretend to cry and rushed over to slap Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen dodged her mother's slap, tilted her head, stared at Zhang like a wolf, and said through gritted teeth, "I know! I know she got married. I also know that she lost her child and can't have children anymore, so she asked her in-laws to divorce her."

"Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, I have never asked for anything since I was a child. I only said once that I wanted to marry Xingniang, but mom disagreed and arranged for me to marry Liu. If Liu was a good person, I would have lived with her, but..." Yu Zhen stopped talking.

"But Liu is causing trouble, so you don't want to live with her anymore?" Old Master Yu looked at his eldest grandson as if he was seeing him for the first time.

If he is not deaf and dumb, he would not be the father-in-law of the family. As a father, how could he not know what the eldest son and his wife are like?

However, with his honest and loyal grandson around, Mr. Yu has the confidence to let his eldest wife take care of him in his old age. But now he has doubts.

A grown man had a lover, but his mother asked him to marry someone else, and he did it without even a protest.

You marry a wife you are not happy with, watch her act up but say nothing, causing discord in the family, ask the elders to drive her away, and then go with the flow and don't want to live with her anymore?

"She doesn't want to live with me. In fact, I know that even if I give her twenty taels, Liu won't spend a single copper on the child and me. Do I dare to hand over my belongings to her in the future?"

"Master, you said that if I marry a wife who can't cook and manage the household, can't work in the fields, can't raise children, and can't have harmonious family harmony, and is not only worry-free and pleasing to the eyes, what do I want?"

Yu Zhen lowered his head after he finished speaking. In fact, he still had a lot to say and wanted to protest, but he knew it was unnecessary and they would not understand.

Yu Zhen's words left the four elders present speechless.

Old Master Yu looked at his eldest son and his wife. They were the ones who arranged the marriage of their eldest grandson, and this is the result?

After a moment, Mrs. Yu reacted and fired at her eldest daughter-in-law: "My eldest daughter-in-law, Hazel is your only son, and you treat him like this?"

The old lady was filled with regret. She had thought that her eldest grandson would be the first in the family to get married, so she had to be careful. She had listed several girls in her mind, wanting to pick the best one for her eldest grandson.

But the old lady was determined to find a daughter-in-law that she would be proud of, and the old man also told her not to meddle in other people's business and cause the new daughter-in-law to have conflicts with her mother-in-law when she gets married.

The old lady thought about what the old man said, that if she married another one to her eldest grandson, wouldn't she have to take care of the second and third grandsons? There would be no benefits if she did a good job, and she would be blamed if she didn't, so why bother herself with suffering? So she didn't insist on taking care of her.

As a result, he married Liu, a troublemaker, who caused unrest in the family, discord among the brothers, and in the end even the eldest grandson himself was unhappy. Just as he said, what was he trying to gain?

Zhang was also dumbfounded. What was she trying to achieve? Why did she choose Liu in the first place?

Because Liu had sent her food and some needlework several times, and also joined her in speaking ill of the second and third wives?

……

The silence in the main room was deafening, while in the third room there was peace and tranquility after the noise.

Xu also talked about Liu. She usually didn't talk much when she was outside, but there were always people who liked to talk to her. In addition, her parents' home was in the village, and the first daughter-in-law was a trustworthy person, so Xu knew much more news than the first wife.

"The so-called traveling merchant is actually a wandering peddler, who is in his thirties this year. It is said that he was injured by bandits while traveling for business, so..." Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter who was full of curiosity and swallowed the rest of the sentence.

"Then why not adopt children? Aren't your own nephews or nephews better than those from outside?" Yu Sanlang came to his wife's rescue and was also a supporting role. As a man, he was not interested in whether other people could have children or not.

"It is said that there was a disaster a few years ago and several of the family's nephews and nephews died. The rest have grown up. When they saw that the baby in Liu's belly was still small, they misjudged the time and said it was their own child." Xu winked at her husband and continued when she saw that he nodded knowingly.

"But I heard from my sister-in-law that the merchant had been looking for pregnant women or women with children in several neighboring villages. He doesn't seem like a good person." Xu was troubled by what she was saying, but she didn't say it out loud.

She still had a little memory of her childhood life. She remembered that her brother, born to her stepmother, was already ten years old at that time, and there were two wet nurses waiting on him...

"Liu may not go with that merchant. She may know that we have split up and is testing us on purpose," said Yu Sanlang with certainty.

Which woman would be willing to marry someone else while pregnant, especially a stranger with unknown background? No one would make such a choice unless they were a fool. But Yu Sanlang never expected that Liu was really a fool.

Yu Hongdou had limited knowledge of the ancient times, so she was quite curious about traveling merchants and couldn't help asking a few more questions. Only then did she learn that traveling merchants were businessmen who traveled far and wide to make a living from the price difference of long-distance transportation.

This kind of merchant does not have a fixed business location. Although he has a pass, it may not be reliable. After all, money talks. It is not impossible to buy a fake identity with money in a small town.

"The merchant should have a lot of goods, right? Then what is he going to buy and sell here?" Yu Hongdou was curious.

Taoyuan Village and Taoxi Village are not remote. There are three roads around them, one of which leads to the county town. It only takes most of the day to travel there by horse carriage.

The other two roads lead to two different towns, one prosperous and the other wealthy, so it is not difficult for Taoyuan Village and Taoxi Village to buy and sell things.

What's more, there are people in the village who work as peddlers and buy and sell things, so is there a need for such a big name as traveling merchant?

Yu Sanlang had already leaned over and was about to lie down to rest, but when he heard his daughter's words, he was stunned and suddenly sat up and slapped his head.

"Oh my dear, you've helped your father a lot." Yu Sanlang said, then got off the kang and ran out without even having time to put on his shoes.

Yu Hongdou, who had no idea what she had done wrong, and Xu, who hadn't finished gossiping, all looked at him in confusion as he disappeared.

Yu Hongdou came back to her senses and looked at her mother who looked aggrieved. She knew too well the pain of not finishing gossip, so she simply took over the role of supporting the main character: "Mom, do you think that uncle and aunt will ask grandpa and grandma to plead for Liu?"

"No, Liu won't come back until we move out." Mrs. Xu gave her daughter a direct negative answer.

If it were before, she would not have dared to be so sure, but now it is different. Her husband has established connections with the government officials, which has brought huge benefits to the village and his parents-in-law.

Therefore, people must have the ability to stand on their own feet, so that they can be respected by the world, including their parents and relatives.
