The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Hexi Village is a small village in the west of Hecheng County.

Hecheng County is located in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. It is very rich. The Grand Canal from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital also passes through Hecheng County, which makes it very prosperous. Hexi Village is close to the county seat, and the villagers naturally live very well. good.

Today is the day of great joy for Jiang Chengxiang, the third son of the Jiang family, a wealthy family in Hexi Village, and the village is even more lively.

The Jiang family has fifteen acres of fine paddy fields, ten acres of fine mulberry forests, and ten acres of dry land. The old man Jiang also has good skills in killing pigs and sheep, so life is not bad.

You know, Hecheng County is not a place with a lot of land and few people. There are many people here and little land, but the land is fertile. Because the river is criss-cross and not far from the sea, there will be no drought and flood. Generally, as long as you are willing to take care of it , the harvest in the field will not be bad, and ordinary people can live well with seven or eight acres of paddy fields and a few acres of dry land.

The third child of the Jiang family had studied in a school in the county seat. Although he didn't even pass the exam for a child student, he found a good job two years ago because of his literacy. In the shed, the coolies on the wharf recorded how many bags of rice a certain person carried and how many bolts of cloth a certain person carried, and the wages they received were two or three times that of these coolies.

Because he has a bit of face, he can introduce men in the village to work as coolies on the pier in his spare time, and he has a lot of prestige in the village.

Today, Jiang's third child got married, and people in the village took their best tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks to Jiang's family, so that Jiang's family could manage the marriage decently. The Jiang's family didn't have enough space, and several families on the left and right gave up their main rooms. Come out and help greet the guests.

Wearing a brand-new red dress with big red flowers on his chest, Jiang Laosan welcomed back Zhu Shufen, the youngest daughter of Zhu Xiucai's family, from a neighboring village.

Zhu Shufen is the daughter of a scholar, and she is good-looking. The men in the village are envious that Jiang Laosan can marry her. People who can talk to Jiang Laosan come forward to congratulate Jiang Laosan. Added a few points.

The wedding was very lively and respectable. The Jiang family specially killed two pigs the day before and bought a lot of fish. There was a bowl of pork on each table, a bowl of pig offal, a bowl of pig blood soup, and a bowl of pig's trotters and tails. One piece of steamed fish, together with many seasonal vegetables, filled the table.

The relatives and friends of the Jiang family, plus people from the village who came to help, had a total of [-] tables. After one meal at noon, there was another meal in the evening.

A relative of Jiang’s family who helped welcome the relatives grabbed some tea leaves and put them into a sea bowl, scooped a spoonful of water from the iron pot with boiling water on the side with a gourd scoop, washed the tea leaves, put them in the tea bowl, and looked at Jiang who was standing beside him with a happy smile. The old man: "Uncle Jiang, where is Boss Jiang? His younger brother got married, why haven't I seen him?"

Villagers get married early, and there are many grandparents in their 30s. Generally, they look old at the age of 50 or 70, and they are considered long-lived if they can live to [-] or [-] years old. Tall and big.When someone asked about his eldest son, he frowned. His eldest son is a good hand at work, so he should be helping at home at this time. Why didn't he see it today?

Confused, old man Jiang went to the kitchen to look for his wife: "The child's mother, where is the boss?"

"Didn't he fall into the river a few days ago? He was sick, so I let him go to the old house at the west end of the village to raise him." Mrs. Jiang said, her drooping eyes were full of dissatisfaction: "Even if he fell After drinking water, it should be healed after three or four days, I think he is just avoiding laziness, after today is over, I will definitely take care of him later!"

Old man Jiang doesn't care much about family affairs, and he is also very displeased with Boss Jiang. He frowned when he heard his mother-in-law say this: "That worthless bastard!"

The old man Jiang asked and reprimanded, but he forgot about the old man Jiang, and got busy with the marriage of the third child Jiang.

Everyone held a happy event in a lively manner, completely forgetting about Boss Jiang, who has always been insignificant.

There are a few dilapidated houses on the westernmost side of Hexi Village, where the Zhao family lived in a very bad life in Hexi Village, and in a piece of land next to the Jiang family, the dilapidated earthen house was handed down by the elders of the Jiang family. It was so broken that no one could live in it, but now there was a person lying on the ground inside.

When Jiang Zhen woke up, he felt very dizzy and his stomach was throbbing.

He couldn't see the surroundings clearly for a while, and after blinking his eyes a few times, his eyes became clearer, and then he saw the dilapidated roof shining into the house.

Isn't he dead?How can I feel cold and hurt again?

Even if he survived that time, he should be in the hospital now. How could he be lying in such a dirty and messy place?

Jiang Zhen felt something was wrong instinctively, he wanted to jump up from the ground, but right now he couldn't even move.

He was groggy, and his stomach hurt so badly that Jiang Zhen almost passed out again. At this moment, his head hurt, and some memories that did not belong to him suddenly flooded into his mind.

That is the memory of an ancient man.

This ancient man had the same surname as Jiang, but he was not called Jiang Zhen, but Jiang Zhen'e. He was the eldest in his family, and people in the village generally called him Boss Jiang.He was born on the fifth day of May, which is an evil month, and this day is a poisonous day, so he was named "Suppressing Evil" to suppress it.

It is said that children born on this day will hinder their parents, and Boss Jiang did "impede" their parents.

The day before Mrs. Jiang was born, Mrs. Jiang was taken away to serve in the military. Mr. Jiang’s parents were no longer alive at that time, and Mrs. Jiang’s family was far away. She had to give birth alone at home because it was a difficult first-born child. , Painful for a day and a night and almost lost his life.

After giving birth, Mrs. Jiang had no one to take care of her. After being hungry for a day, she had to get up to cook and wash the dirty clothes and bedding by herself.

A woman is alone at home and has to take care of a child, and she knows how difficult it is. From the very beginning, Mrs. Jiang didn't like her eldest son, and she believed that her eldest son was a loser.

It’s just that the old man Jiang has served in the military, and he might die outside. If the child is gone at this time, Mrs. Jiang will definitely be kicked out of the house by the uncle of the Jiang family and robbed of the field... Although I can’t wait to drown Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang In the end, he still supported Boss Jiang by pinching his nose.

But it is only limited to feeding.

The old lady Jiang beat and scolded Boss Jiang frequently, she ate and drank well but only gave Boss Jiang leftovers, and tied Boss Jiang at home with straw ropes when she went out to work... She always had a crush on this mourner. I don't even want to touch it.

Old man Jiang came back after five years of military service. The five-year-old old man Jiang was thin and small, and he couldn't even call someone.

After the old man Jiang returned home, the life of the Jiang family became easier.Old man Jiang brought back some money to buy land, and he was good at butchering pigs. He killed pigs and sold them at his home during the holidays.

But Boss Jiang's life is not much easier.

Old man Jiang always just focused on work and ignored the family affairs. Mrs. Jiang taught disobedient children that he would not interfere, and the old man who couldn't even speak clearly didn't like him at all.

One year after old man Jiang came back, the second child of the Jiang family was born, and two years later, the third child of the Jiang family was also born, and two years later, a younger sister Jiang was born.These three children were born and raised by Old Man Jiang. He loves them very much. Where is Mrs. Jiang?When she gave birth to these three children, the family's situation improved. She could eat enough and wear warm clothes. Old man Jiang even hired an old woman in the village to take care of her during confinement... She lived a comfortable life, and for these three children Also love it.

For a long time, Jiang's second child, Jiang's third child, Jiang Xiaomei, was the treasure of the Jiang family, but the eldest Jiang was an existence that everyone in the Jiang family disliked.

At such a young age, Boss Jiang had to take care of his younger siblings and go to work in the fields. It was all like this, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't even bear to let him have enough food. If the family ate eggs and fish, he never had a share.

Probably because of being beaten, scolded and oppressed since he was a child, Boss Jiang became more and more quiet, and he didn't talk much. He only knew to work hard. Because of this, when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, the farm work at home was basically done. He did it.

He is diligent and does good farm work. The Jiang family still has money, so naturally someone will match him, but old man Jiang and old lady Jiang have money to send Jiang's second child to the county to study, and have money to make new clothes for Jiang Xiaomei. , but no money for Boss Jiang to marry a daughter-in-law, this wasted for a whole ten years.

Now Boss Jiang is 26 years old, one of the old bachelors in Hexi Village, and men in the countryside have not yet married a wife at this age, basically don't expect to marry a wife to warm the bed in this life.

Boss Jiang became more and more silent, and he didn't say a few words for a whole year, except for working and sleeping, like an invisible person, but the lives of the rest of Jiang's family were prosperous.

Jiang's second child is 16 years old, married three years ago, and now has a son, Jiang's third child is [-] years old, married today, Jiang Xiaomei is [-] years old, countless people from all over the world want to marry...

And Boss Jiang, he is dead.

The third brother Jiang needs to prepare a lot of things to get married. A few days ago, Mrs. Jiang asked Mr. Jiang to catch fish. Mr. Jiang would do farm work. He learned how to kill pigs from Mr. Jiang, but he knew nothing about catching fish—he had no chance when he was young. Playing crazy with other children in the village, you don't know how to swim and fish at all.

But he didn't dare not listen to Mrs. Jiang's words, and he got into the water after all.

While catching fish, Boss Jiang accidentally drowned and nearly died. In the end, someone in the village saw him and rescued him, but he developed a high fever the next day.

If other members of the Jiang family had a fever, even if they didn’t invite a doctor, they could still rest in the house, eat well, sleep well, and be served with eggs and fine grains. Pushed him to the abandoned shabby house of the Jiang family, and left him alone.

Boss Jiang had a severe fever and was thrown in a drafty room, that was all. Madam Jiang was so busy preparing for the wedding of Lao San Jiang that she even forgot to deliver meals to Boss Jiang.

Boss Jiang was starved to death.

He was hungry before he caught the fish, and he starved to death in this broken house for another three days without a drop of water.
