The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Brother Zhao Jin was very tired, and he went to bed early that day, so he didn't know that Jiang Zhen actually came to knock on his window that night.

He knocked on the window a few times but there was no response, thinking that Brother Zhao Jin might have gone to bed early, so Jiang Zhen went back, but the next morning, he got up early and waited by the roadside.

Jiang Zhen saw Brother Zhao Jing, but did not speak to him, but gave him a wink and asked him to get a bamboo tube by the roadside.

The bamboo tube contained fish soup that Jiang Zhen made last night and reheated this morning.

The contact between the two of them now is completely in the mode of cheating. Jiang Zhen feels a little regretful, but also finds it quite interesting.

Zhao Jinge took the bamboo tube, looked at Jiang Zhen from a distance, and walked towards Zhao Dahu's house with the bamboo tube in his arms. His steps were inevitably much lighter. After walking for a while, he even opened the bamboo tube and ate it slowly. stand up.

The bamboo tube was still hot, obviously Jiang Zhen wanted him to eat it while it was hot, so he definitely couldn't waste it.

The fish soup in the bamboo tube is made by Jiang Zhen after steaming the fish, removing the fish bones, and cooking the remaining fish with an egg. The taste is not to mention, at least the nutrition is good, and you can eat a lot of fish to supplement protein .

Because it was fish soup that was cooked last night, it tasted fishy, ​​but Brother Zhao Jin didn't dislike it at all, and quickly drank it clean, and used the boiled fish soup that he brought with him every day The water brushed the bamboo tube, and then drank the water brushed through the bamboo tube.

When he got up in the morning, he ate dry rice at home, and now he drank fish soup. He felt warm and full of energy, and he didn't feel tired when he worked in the morning.

It didn't rain this morning, so Dahu Zhao came to the field for a stroll, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw Brother Zhao Jing like this.

At first, everyone thought that he was out of his mind to hire Shuang'er as a long-term worker, but after a few years, everyone envied him. It is true that Zhao Jinge is as serious as a man in his work.

But he didn't know that after he left, Brother Zhao Jin began to lose his mind.

It's almost noon, it's time for Jiang Zhen to come...

Although Brother Zhao Jin was somewhat uncomfortable eating Jiang Zhen's food, he still looked forward to Jiang Zhen's arrival... Although he was still working at the moment, Brother Zhao Jin couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zhen on the way he usually came. .

However, he glanced for a long time, but he didn't see Jiang Zhen, but a five or sixty-year-old old woman who looked familiar suddenly came out of the intersection.

Brother Zhao Jing took a few more glances before he recognized that she was a friend of Zhao Liushi, but Zhao Liushi hadn't seen this woman for a long time, so he didn't recognize her for a while.

"Brother Jin!" The woman saw Brother Zhao Jin, and immediately walked towards Brother Zhao Jin with a smile on her face: "Brother Jin, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Aunt Li." Zhao Jinge greeted her. This woman was called Li Xiu'er, she was from the nearby Li Family Village, and she married into Qiaotou Village, which was where Zhao Liu's natal family lived.

When Zhao Liu was not married, he had a good relationship with this woman surnamed Li, and they also had contacts after marriage. The reason why they broke up contact was because this woman surnamed Li told Zhao Jinge about a marriage.

What she told Zhao Jinge was her natal neighbor, who had a son who was two years older than Zhao Jinge, named Li Zugen.

Just by this name, one can tell how much Li Zugen was treasured at home... and the reason why he was treasured was because the Li family was only passed down from three generations. This Li Zugen is not in good health and is very thin.

Li's family background is very average, and Li Zugen's health is not very good, so Li's family wanted to arrange a marriage for him early, preferably with a strong body who can help the family with work in the future.

Zhao Jinge was very strong when he was young, not to mention very cute. Once Zhao Liushi took him to watch a play in Lijia Village, and Li Zugen’s mother, Li Liushi, fell in love with him. She is also from Qiaotou Village, so she went home and asked about it All of a sudden, after knowing the situation of Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi, he was more satisfied with Brother Zhao Jing, and immediately asked Li Xiuer to help him as a matchmaker.

The Li family came to the Zhao family several times to ask, and they showed great sincerity. Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liushi had seen Li Zugen and found that although he was a little thinner, there was nothing wrong with him, so they agreed.

His family's Shuang'er is a bit too strong, so they are also afraid that he will not marry well in the future. Although the Li family has no money, but Li Zugen has no brothers, there is no need to divide the land in the family. The Li family is also thin and small. Can't beat my own son...

The marriage between the Li family and the Zhao family was settled just like that, and Brother Zhao Jin also had a fiancé, but the fiancé who was a little shorter than him had never liked him very much.

Of course, Zhao Jinge didn't know what he liked or didn't like at that time, but he just felt a little lost occasionally.

Later, when Zhao Jinge was 12 years old, his elder brother died, his mother was seriously ill, and something happened to the Zhao family...the Li family retired.

They didn't want to bear the burden of the Zhao family, and it was also because Li Zugen, who was 14 years old at the time, fell in love with a girl of the same age in Lijia Village. The girl was a child left by a married Shuang'er in Lijia Village. , Husband's family married another girl and didn't want to support a girl, so they threw her to grandma's house.

The girl's life at her grandma's house was very bad, and Li Zugen often helped her with giving her things, so she fell in love with Li Zugen and was willing to marry Li Zugen.

After retiring, Brother Zhao Jin didn't take care of the affairs of Li's Village. At first, some people mentioned Li Zugen in front of him with ulterior motives. Later, it was probably because he was so pitiful that he couldn't get married, so no one mentioned it anymore.

As for Li Xiu'er... Li Xiu'er and Zhao Liushi are really close, because of Zhao Jinge's matter, Li Zugen's family had a quarrel, and then probably felt ashamed of Zhao Liushi, so they stopped coming to Zhao's house.

And because the relationship between Zhao Liushi and her natal family is not good, they hardly go back these years, and the two sides don't meet much.

Seeing Li Xiuer suddenly now, Brother Zhao Jin was quite surprised, but Li Xiuer was purely happy.

"Brother Jin, I came here to see you. Let me tell you, the Li family has suffered retribution!" Li Xiuer said to Brother Zhao Jing.

She came to see Brother Zhao Jin because of the bad luck for Li Zugen's family. She had a headache in her heart, so she wanted to tell Brother Zhao Jin to make him happy too.

"Back then Li Zugen wanted to marry that bitch surnamed Xu, but now...hehe!" Li Xiuer kept talking.

It turned out that after Li Zugen and Zhao Jinge resigned, they got engaged to the Xu family in their village. When they were 17 years old, they got married.

They lived pretty well at first, and Xu gave birth to four sons for Li Zugen in one breath, making the Li family treat her very dearly and not let her do any work.

But these days... four sons are not easy to support.

The Li family didn't have much money, and Li Zugen and his father were still very thin. Apart from planting their own land, they couldn't help others to earn money. As a result, the family became poorer and poorer, and even had to borrow money to live.

Later, they had no choice, so they told Mrs. Xu a job, and asked Mrs. Xu to go to a landlord's house on their side to help with the work.

In addition to owning land, the landlord’s family is also in the cocoon business. The cocoons raised by silkworms in the surrounding villages are sold to his family. They are very rich. no children.

Mrs. Xu is very capable of giving birth, and has been giving birth to sons, but has she been noticed?The landlord's daughter-in-law is quite powerful. She didn't want to bring in a young and beautiful vixen to her home to seduce her man, so she agreed with Mrs. Xu, who was as old as her age, to give her as much as she wanted. The landlord gave birth to a son.

The Xu family agreed, and Li Zugen's family, who had already owed a lot of money at that time, also agreed.

In the countryside, this behavior is called concubine concubine, which means paying some money to rent a woman to give birth to a child for oneself. When the time limit is up, the woman will be sent back and the child will stay.

For a very poor family, it is actually nothing to let the wife be a concubine for a few years, anyway, they will come back to live in the end.When there is not enough to eat, no one cares about chastity or something.

It's also Xu's ability. The family pawned her for three years, and she gave birth to a son for them. When the three years were over, there was another one in her stomach.

Ever since she became a concubine, she has been able to eat and drink. After she was pregnant with a child, she also had meat every day. After the child was born, she wanted to breastfeed the child, so she ate and drank well.

That was a happy life in the Li family.

Xu didn't want to leave, so she begged the landlord's wife to stay.

Although that wife is not very beautiful, she is much prettier than Mrs. Xu, and even a year or two younger than Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu is not a threat to her, so after thinking about it, she agreed.

Anyway, the sons and daughters of Mrs. Xu will call her mother in the future, and Mrs. Xu's status in the family is better than that of the servants. Leaving such an illiterate village woman not only does not hinder her, but also shows her generosity.

When those children grow up in the future, compared with her, when she goes to see Mrs. Xu, who was married long ago and gave birth to four sons, she will always know who to get close to.

"Then Mrs. Xu took another 50 taels of silver from the Li family, and broke off the relationship with the Li family. This Li Zugen is being ridiculed very much now! He made his wife a concubine, and ended up losing his wife .” Li Xiuer laughed at Li Zugen.

Originally, Li Zugen's mother-in-law was able to make money for having children, and some people were envious. Now that Mrs. Xu has run away, the situation is different.

Even if Mrs. Xu took back 100 taels of silver back and forth, after excluding the spent ones, the rest would only be able to buy three or four acres of land, and Li Zugen still had four sons...unless he didn’t buy the land to spend those The money is used to buy women's pairs, otherwise there will be no need for a wife to warm the bed in the future.

And if there is no wife in a family, is it still called a family?

"Buy the land, he sure can't plant that much, why don't you buy the land and use the money to marry a wife... His family is so poor, how will he live when he marries another person? And those four sons, they are doing well now , When they grow up, they will marry a wife... Tsk tsk!" Li Xiuer said, gloating.

Back then, if Li Zugen had married Brother Zhao Jing, with Zhao Jin's able body, the family would always be better off, and there was no need to worry about Zhao Jing running away.

Li Xiuer came to tell Brother Zhao Jin about this, hoping that Brother Zhao Jin would be happier, but in fact, Brother Zhao Jin was not very happy.

He had forgotten what Li Zugen looked like, how could he have time to take care of his affairs now?On the contrary, this Li Xiu'er kept talking beside him, and he didn't know whether Jiang Zhen would come or not.

Brother Zhao Jin didn't listen seriously, and kept looking at the road. Because he hadn't seen Jiang Zhen, his heart was empty, and he hoped that Li Xiu'er could leave soon.

Fortunately, Li Xiu'er finally finished speaking, and said: "Brother Jin, I went to your house, you can continue to work."

Li Xiuer finally let Brother Zhao Jing go and left. Brother Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sun above his head, and walked towards the woods beside the canal.

Usually, when Jiang Zhen came over, he would first give him a wink outside, but not today, and I don't know if Jiang Zhen is here.

Of course Jiang Zhen came. As soon as Brother Zhao Jin entered, he greeted Brother Zhao Jin: "Brother Jin."

The corner of Zhao Jinge's mouth hooked up immediately.

Jiang Zhen had come a long time ago, and he hid when he saw someone pulling Zhao Jinge to talk.He didn't know the woman who was talking to Brother Zhao Jin, but he thought it was probably gossip, so he didn't ask any more questions, but took out some food for Brother Zhao Jin to eat.

The dish he made at noon today is fried cabbage with bacon slices.

It was inconvenient to use bamboo tubes to eat, so he brought a basket. In the basket was a large bowl filled with rice, and the fried cabbage with sliced ​​meat was covered on top of the rice.

Compared with the fish soup in the morning, this fried cabbage with sliced ​​meat is really delicious. Zhao Jinge ate a big bowl of rice in a short while, and thought he could have two more bowls.

But food must be saved... Brother Zhao Jin thinks it is good to be able to eat such an extra bowl of rice at noon.

After eating and drinking enough, Brother Zhao Jin remembered what happened just now, but he thought it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to mention Li Zugen in front of Jiang Zhen, so he didn't mention it to Jiang Zhen.

Brother Zhao Jin didn't take Li Zugen seriously at all, but he didn't know that the Li family was thinking about him after all the calculations.

Li Zugen still thinks about Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Xu will definitely not come back.

The old and the young in their family, he, the person who should be the pillar, is still thin and weak. It is the silver sent by Mrs. Xu who has paid off the debt and spent part of it, and there are still seven or eighty taels left. …

He has worked hard for a year on their family's land, but he can't even grow the family's rations. After that, he must buy more land, or buy food to eat!

They tend to the former, but who will plant the land after buying it?Who will take care of the food and clothing of the four sons?

"Then Brother Zhao Jin heard that he hasn't married yet...Although he is ugly, he has a lot of strength."

"As long as he doesn't bring his parents with him, our family's life will be easier after we get married."
