The girl who wears fast

Chapter 196 Dalang, it’s time to drink medicine (6)

Early the next morning, Aunt Zhou knocked on the door of Huo Shichu's house: "Xiao Huo, wake up soon, everyone has gathered at the entrance of the village."

"Get up, I can leave after I serve Wei Qi breakfast." Huo Shichu said as he opened the door.

"What did Dalang have for breakfast?" Aunt Zhou asked curiously.

"It's just steamed buns, even if he wants to eat, he doesn't have anything else." Huo Shichu said with a smile.

"Steamed buns are already very good. Our family always eats sweet potato porridge, and some people can't even eat sweet potato porridge." Aunt Zhou said.

"Isn't that because Da Lang wants to recover from his injuries and needs to eat something good? I'm going to the market today to see if I can buy some bones and make soup for him to replenish his body. He is too exhausted now." Huo Shichu explained .

Aunt Zhou nodded and echoed, "Da Lang really needs to be mended, he's so thin that he's out of shape."

Wei Qi opened his eyes, listening to the conversation of the two people outside, and did not get up. After a while, he heard Huo Shichu's footsteps coming in. He didn't know what to think, and immediately closed his eyes again, pretending not to wake up. appearance.

As expected, Huo Shichu just muttered "I didn't wake up" and put the steamed buns and water on the table. When he woke up and could eat by himself, he left with Aunt Zhou.

Sure enough, there were quite a few people waiting for the market at the entrance of the village. They were chatting and laughing lively, but when they saw Huo Shichu, they stopped in unison, and all of them stared at Huo Shichu with wide eyes. She looked at those straightforward, undisguised eyes, as if they could see through other people's clothes. If a young man with a thinner skin could be looked at by such eyes, his face would blush and he would feel uncomfortable.

But who is Huo Shichu? No matter how sharp the eyes of these people are, they can't affect her. Look directly at the past, meet the person's eyes, and look away until the person can't resist looking away.

So in this way, everyone knew that she was not an easy person to mess with.

"This is Wei Dalang's daughter-in-law, right? She looks really good, and has a generous personality." An aunt in her 50s held Huo Shichu's arm, looked at her with a smile and said, "The village chief in this village I am in charge of Hu Baigui, you can call me Aunt Hu."

"Hi Aunt Hu, my name is Huo Shichu, you can call me Xiao Huo." Huo Shichu also introduced himself with a smile.

"Xiao Huo, your name sounds really nice... What are you going to buy in town?" Aunt Hu asked again.

"I don't have anything at home, and I have to buy everything again. Alas, Dalang still has to ask the doctor to buy medicine. Life is hard." Huo Shichu sighed with a worried look.

Hearing her words, the eavesdroppers around immediately joined in.

"Old man Wei is also unfeeling. If his son is injured like that, he will drive him out of the house, and he won't leave anything for him. Isn't this going to force him to death?"

"That's right, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, but Mrs. Wei, a stepmother, is not afraid of being scolded by others if she does this?!"

"What is she afraid of? Anyway, it's worth the scolding to take advantage of it!"

"It's just poor Wei Dalang, he was crippled at a young age, what can we do in the future?"

"Old man Wei is not too vicious, isn't this a new little daughter-in-law who came back to take care of Da Lang?"

……

Those people opened up the chatter box, and even without the participation of Huo Shichu, the person at the center of the topic, they could talk on and on for most of the day, and they almost explained the eighteen generations of the Wei family's ancestors.

Speaking of which, the Wei family is not a native of Baisui Village, but moved here a hundred years ago because of the war. At that time, many people died in Baisui Village due to the war. The Wei family moved here to make up for the lack of population. By the time the new dynasty was established, the Wei clan had also gained a firm foothold in Baisui Village.

Up to now, more than 100 years have passed, and the Wei family has been completely integrated into the local people, basically no different from the local people.

However, it is said that the ancestors of the Wei family once had high-ranking officials, so they pay more attention to the cultivation of their offspring and to reading. There is also a private school in the village, which has produced several children and scholars. The reading atmosphere is stronger than other villages.

Wei Dalang went to a private school for two years before his mother died. It is said that he is quite intelligent and a young student.

But it is a pity that his fate is not very good. His mother died before he grew up. Once his stepmother came in, he could not continue to study, so he delayed it, and when he was fourteen or five years old, he went to the frontier to work The soldiers exchanged their lives for money.

In fact, Mrs. Wei's youngest son, Wei Silang, is still studying, but he doesn't seem to have any talent for reading. Now he is seventeen or eighteen years old, and he didn't pass the Tongsheng exam, and his grades are mediocre, not outstanding at all.

But Wei's family thinks that he is just a late bloomer, and he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is still very young. In the future, he will definitely rise to the top and lead his family to prosperity.

With such expectations, the Wei family naturally treated Wei Silang very well and put him first in everything, which also formed Wei Silang's character of high self-esteem and clean eyes.

Therefore, even though he used Wei Dalang's money for his studies, he still looked down on Wei Dalang, a martial artist who was extremely rough in his eyes. This time, seeing Wei Dalang being carried home, he was badly injured and died , not only didn't have sympathy or worry, but just held his nose in disgust, saying that the bloody smell on Wei Dalang's body was suffocating him, and asked his parents to drive him away...

It can be seen how ruthless this man is.

Huo Shichu was stunned when he found out, and asked the aunt who spoke the truth: "Isn't he afraid of ruining his reputation when he said such a thing? Da Lang is his elder brother after all, or he was injured on the battlefield. Isn't he treating his elder brother harshly? A scholar Isn't it the most famous?"

The aunt curled her lips and said:

"What's a bad reputation? If he doesn't pass the examination as a scholar or a Jinshi, how much does it matter if his reputation is ruined? If he is admitted as a scholar or a Jinshi, the village and county will help him because of the achievements of many scholars. He suppressed these bad reputations.

——After all, didn’t your Dalang become a half useless person?There are many ways to deal with him. When the time comes, let his elder brother come forward and explain in person that it was a misunderstanding. They have a very good relationship with each other. See where there is still a bad reputation..."

Huo Shichu's eyes widened immediately. This aunt thinks thoroughly enough. No wonder the Wei family is so confident. A scholar brings a lot of benefits to the village and county. Naturally, someone will take care of Wei Silang's reputation at that time. , so I can only "wrong" Wei Dalang.

It seems that the Wei family is not really stupid, they are shrewd, knowing that there are advantages and no disadvantages to bullying a Wei Dalang, so naturally they have nothing to fear.
