Mountain God's Wife

The dinner was lively for a long time, and the village head took out the good wine from his own collection to entertain Father Ruan. The elders of the village came to toast one after another. Father Ruan was half drunk after a glass of glass.

"It's such a great day, it's a pity that your wife is sick and can't come out to have fun together."

Because of Ruan's father's rising status, the village chief changed his name to Ruan's mother, Mrs. Ruan.

"It's a pity for her." Ruan's father narrowed his eyes, even though he was half drunk, he didn't forget to maintain his kind appearance.

"Maybe it's because I'm too tired during this time. It's just in time for the autumn harvest. In the past, your girl was able to help out when she was not married. Now she is alone, so it is inevitable that she is too busy. She must be tired and sick. Hearing that you have won the exam I’m afraid she will be overjoyed by the news, and when you become an official, she will become an official’s wife, and she will have servants to serve her at home, so she won’t have to live such a hard life again!” The village head took a sip of his wine and tasted it. Two small dishes.

"Not to mention anything else, your wife's cooking skills are unmatched by anyone in the village! Usually, there is a festival in the village, and your wife's help is indispensable. It's a pity that you will never be able to taste such good cooking skills in the future." The village chief smacked Smacking his lips, as if reminiscing about Ruan Mu's craftsmanship.

"What's so difficult about it? My family's ancestral graves are all here, and it's not like I won't be coming back. I'll let her show off when the time comes."

"How dare you! How can we let your wife cook for us? It's not appropriate, it's to shorten our life!" The village head laughed.

Father Ruan smiled without saying a word, and clinked glasses with the village head.

"Since your girl is married to the Mountain God, our village has been full of good things. This year's harvest is much better than before. You have won the prize. This is due to the favor of the Mountain God. Before you leave this time, do you want to worship the Mountain God? ? Ask him to bless you to be the top student in high school?" the village head asked.

"Yes, yes, I should go to worship, and I will contribute some money to build a mountain temple, and I will trouble the villagers to contribute."

"That's what it should be." Someone paid for it, and it's easy for those who don't pay to put in some effort. The village has long planned to build a mountain temple.

It's a pity that there is no money. Now that there is a rich man, the mountain temple can be built soon.

"Master Ruan went to the exam this time, and got a good chance. He built a school and built a mountain temple, but it cost a lot of money." The village chief heard that Father Ruan was so rich, and made up his mind to build a good relationship with him.

"It's just a matter of tens of taels of silver, and it's because of the kindness of that adult, otherwise how would I have the money to spend?" Father Ruan concealed his complacency.

"You can't say that. If you didn't care about the village, how would the official know about our place?"

The village head held Father Ruan high, and what he said made him very comfortable.

When the banquet was over, Ruan's father was also drunk, and several scholars from other villages dragged him until he agreed to spare time to discuss knowledge together, and then let him go home.

"Don't send it off at the door, it's getting late, everyone go back and rest!"

Several people in the village delivered Father Ruan, who had drunk a little too much, to the door of the house. Father Ruan was not too drunk to walk, and he was a little sober after being blown by the wind for a while.

"Hey, Mr. Ruan, walk slowly, it's getting dark, be careful where you step."

"I've been walking this road for decades, and I'm very familiar with it." Father Ruan waved his hand, pushed open the outer door, and staggered forward.

Ruan's father entered the house, the house was pitch black, the woman should have gone to bed before him.Forget it, let her have a good night first.

After eating and living outside for such a long time, he was suddenly asked to come back to sleep in this crappy house.

He was not used to it, if it wasn't for the fact that he was so tired after traveling for the past two days, he wouldn't have been able to sleep on this miserable bed!

"Ahhhhh!!"

A motionless figure was sitting by the table. Father Ruan suddenly saw this looming figure, and was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, half sober from the wine in an instant.

A dim light came on, and the man at the table lit a candle.

Father Ruan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw half of that man's terrifying face like that of Shura.

"It's fine if you don't participate in the banquet prepared for me in the village. Who do you want to scare by sitting here pretending to be a ghost?"

To cover up your gaffe just now.

"Pretending to be a ghost? I think you have ghosts in your heart." Mother Ruan sneered.

"I heard you came back in a carriage. Why, did you climb up to some great man?"

"What do you mean by climbing into someone else's house? That's because they are interested in my talent! Befriend me if you want to! You, a woman, don't talk nonsense if you don't know me!"

Ruan's mother was very clear in her heart. She knew exactly how much money Ruan's father took away from home as entanglements. For such a long time, even if he took a bullock cart halfway, the rest of the money could barely stay in a hotel. Money to rent a carriage?Look at his new clothes again, the material is good and the price can't be lowered.

So the other party must have climbed into a rich family during this time, no wonder he didn't come back until now.

"Talent? Don't laugh at me, you have some good ink in your stomach, but I don't think it's too much talent, right?

Otherwise, you wouldn’t be admitted to Juren in your 30s, or you bought your daughter, and you don’t know what that person likes you?There is no shortage of talented people in this world, but you are not one of them. "

Now that her face was torn apart, Mother Ruan mercilessly sneered at Father Ruan's painful feet.

"You! You shrew!" Father Ruan raised his hand high, as if to hit him.

"Crack!" Ruan's mother suddenly pulled out a shiny silver kitchen knife from her hand, and inserted it neatly into the table next to her.

Father Ruan shuddered and took a step back.

"What do you want to do? I'm a famous person, you can't hurt me!"

Seeing her husband's stern look, Ruan's mother felt that he was just a piece of mud that couldn't support the wall. If he hadn't been hit on the forehead with a pounding anvil and lost the ability to resist, she wouldn't have been beaten like that by him. The daughter saw it.

"You shrew, I must divorce you!" Seeing that his wife did not move further, Father Ruan stood up straight and pointed at her and yelled.

"Just now you won the Juren and you will divorce your rotten wife. Are you afraid that the world will laugh at you? Your Majesty will not let you be an official with a low moral character."

Under Ruan's mother's repeated stimulation, Ruan's father almost woke up. Now that his wife has a knife in his hand, he dare not act rashly. The knife hacked himself to death.

"Don't forget that when you fell on the side of the road and were almost eaten by wild dogs, it was my mother who rescued you and gave you food and shelter. Don't forget your gratitude!"

Ruan's father tried to use the old mother's kindness to save his wife's life to influence her, "I admit, I am not good to you, but my mother really loves you, my father and mother only have me as a son, and you can't give birth anymore. Now, I can't watch our family's incense burn off. I could have just divorced you because you have no children.

But because you have served me for so many years, I am willing to pay you a part of the money for your future living, but you can no longer stay here. "

"Don't talk about these things, come back and divorce your wife so eagerly, which lady did you climb up to?"

Ruan's mother knew her husband too well, and a person like him who wanted to save face might never divorce her publicly in his whole life.

Moreover, he had to use himself to earn a good reputation, and then let himself wait to die slowly in an unknown corner.

After all, the world recognizes that the former poor and the later rich are three things. If she divorces herself, he will be drowned by the spittle star. In order to reconcile with her husband, she thought of many ways, but she did not expect that this man would be stupid. The knife was handed to him.

Father Ruan's expression changed, and he said, "You! You...who told you that!"

"Tell me, which family's lady is it?" Looking at her husband's face, Ruan's mother confirmed her guess even more.

"Hmph, I might as well tell you that the person who read my article was Mr. Liu, Captain of Shangqingche. He intended to betroth his only daughter to me. That person is not someone to be messed with, and I don't want to break face with you. Let's It’s good to get together and leave, if you take the silver taels given by that adult and go away, I will kill my wife.” Ruan’s father thought that moving out of the high-ranking officials would deter his wife.

Mother Ruan raised her head with a half-smile and looked at her husband, a white-faced scholar, who tidied up and looked good.

But he has no money and no status. It is not uncommon for him to be a man in his 30s. If he is recruited back, he is afraid that he will be married. Even if he has a son, he will belong to his family.

If it's not a marriage... then it would be even more interesting, what does the captain of Shangqingche want to get from this person?

Characters with deep thoughts, unable to see what they are plotting, are the most terrifying.

If she didn't want to have anything to do with this person in the future, she really wanted to go and see the excitement.

"How much money will Master Liu give me?"

"100 taels..." Father Ruan's expression darkened.

"100 taels? Lord Captain Shangqingche is the fifth-ranked officer, ranked fourth. I don't believe he is so stingy. If you want to get together with me, you have some sincerity. 500 taels, if you have any left It's yours." Mother Ruan said bluntly.

Father Ruan cursed inwardly, this woman is very evil, Lord Liu did give him 600 taels of silver to settle for his wife, she guessed it was almost right.

But she is just a peasant girl who fled from the country. How does she know so much about Mr. Liu's official position?

500 taels of silver are nothing compared to future prosperity, as long as this difficult woman doesn't bother me anymore, 500 taels will be 500 taels.

"This 500 taels is enough for you to live your whole life. After you take the money, you will disappear from my eyes forever.

Otherwise, what kind of moths will you come out after taking Mr. Liu's money? I don't need to do it, the old man will not let you go! "

Father Ruan immediately took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Perhaps it was his wife's attitude that disgraced him. In order to vent his anger, what he wrote was not a divorce letter but a divorce letter.

"Of course I won't look for you again, you make me feel sick, how can I make myself unhappy."

Ruan's mother didn't care, anyway, she didn't plan to remarry in the future, so she divorced her, as long as she could stay away from this person, it was an unexpected joy to earn the 500 taels for nothing, and her daughter would be guaranteed in the future.

The old lady saved herself back then, and now she has served this man for half her life, and offering her to Juren is considered the utmost benevolence.

"You shrew!" At the end, he still satirized himself. Father Ruan was in a hurry, but he looked at the knife on the table with a cold light, and finally left with a flick of his sleeve.

Every move between the two fell into Zixi's eyes, but Ruan's father didn't know.

If it wasn't for the knife from his wife that made him take a few steps back, and the slap just now, his arm might have been inexplicably disabled.

Ruan Yan's worries are unnecessary, her mother is stronger and smarter than she imagined.In this way, she doesn't need to make a move.

"Brey Bird, go follow Ruan Yan's mother, if that man wants to do something wrong, remember to protect her."

As soon as Zixi finished speaking, a small gray figure jumped out from the shadows of the trees and flew down the mountain.
