It is impossible to punish adults

Shuijing Village is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, backed by mountains, and a small river meanders in front of the village.

Although there are no high-ranking officials here, it is a quiet and prosperous place. The farmland is fertile. There are no wild animals on the mountain, but there are many hares and wild deer. The small river in front of the village is extremely clear. There is never a shortage of fish in the river. Sometimes it catches up with the rain in summer. The river is abundant, and the river is soaring, and even the fish in the river can be seen jumping out of the water.

In this peaceful mountain village with outstanding people, there is a beautiful girl named Qiu Su'e who is famous in all villages. She is extremely beautiful, with fair skin and black hair. Seeing her, the little ones couldn't help but open their mouths at her and smile with a few small teeth.

Qiu Su'e lost her parents when she was a few years old, and she has been living in her uncle's house. The uncle's family is not rich, but she treats Qiu Su'e very well, and her aunt treats her like her own daughter.

Although there are many young people from neighboring villages in the village who have a good impression of Qiu Su'e, and there are many people who ask someone from the family to come over to find out, Su'e's uncle and aunt never let go, only saying that the girl is still young. , reluctant to marry.

When outsiders heard this reason, they didn't find it strange. After all, this family really treated Su'e very well, which made sense.But Qiu Su'e's uncle and aunt knew very well in their hearts that it was true that they were reluctant to marry their niece. After all, it was not very at ease to hand over the child they had raised since childhood to a family who didn't know the basics.

What's more, Qiu Su'e had secretly consented to her long ago. As elders, they couldn't bear to twist the child's wishes and marry her to a man they didn't like, and they would live a lifetime of grievances.

It stands to reason that women chase after men, and Qiu Su'e has such a good-looking face, it should be easy for them to be happy with each other if they have a crush, and they can even hit it off in marriage, but the young man she likes, Something is different.

Just two years ago, a young man came to Shuijing Village. He was in his early twenties. Looking at that face, he looked like a handsome scholar, but his neat legs and feet and the well-defined muscles on his arms seemed to have a Strong shoulders.

This young man was surnamed Mu, named Feng, had no parents, lived alone with two younger brothers, bought a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, had no land, and seemed to make a living by hunting in the mountains on weekdays. The younger brother, who was older, was sent to an old scholar in the village to learn calligraphy. Sometimes the younger one was really helpless, so he asked the neighbors to take care of him.

This young man doesn't talk much, but he treats the neighbors and villagers around him very politely, and takes good care of his two younger brothers.

Qiu Su'e would go to the small river to wash clothes on weekdays. Looking over from the river, she could just see the small yard of Mu Feng's house. From time to time, she could see Mu Feng wearing a short suit and holding a stick in the yard. Dance vigorously.

Sometimes without a stick, even a rusty hatchet with a broken mouth seems to come alive in his hands. When he swung it with a murderous look, not only people's hearts beat wildly when they saw it, but even The ears are getting hot.

The girl's family couldn't hide her thoughts. It didn't take long for her uncle and aunt to guess Qiu Su'e's little love, and her aunt also paid attention to the young man surnamed Mu in private, and found that this young man was very stable, like a down-to-earth Dutiful person.

After further inquiry, I learned that he chose to return to his hometown because he was injured in the army. His parents, Gao Tang, were no longer in his family, and only his two younger brothers were raised by him, and he had no other relatives.

Uncle and aunt were a little hesitant, thinking that such a family might be a little weak and not well-off, but after thinking about it, this young man lived in the same village as him, right under his nose, and looked diligent and hardworking. A lot, but one more person farming together is enough to eat and use. In comparison, it is much more worry-free than marrying Qiu Su'e to a family with mother-in-law and sister-in-law. You don't have to worry about your niece. Being made things difficult for others.

So my aunt asked her niece directly about her thoughts. Although Qiu Su'e blushed with embarrassment, she honestly confessed her secret promise to her aunt. My aunt is also a straightforward person. If so, there is no need to delay , The next day, I found a matchmaker in the village, went to Mu Feng's house, and asked him what he meant.

When the matchmaker first received the commission from her aunt, she was very surprised. She knew how many men in the nearby villages were secretly thinking of this pretty Qiu Su'e. It turned out that her aunt and uncle had never accepted anyone's marriage proposal. , I thought it was because the family was high-minded and wanted to climb a high branch, but they didn't expect that their family actually fell in love with such a young man with a weak foundation!
But since she doesn't mind herself, the matchmaker naturally couldn't say anything, so she packed up and went to Mu's house, and told Mu Feng about Qiu Su'e, thinking that the poor boy would be happy, so she turned around in a hurry He came here and entrusted himself to help to propose marriage at the woman's house, but this handsome young man was slightly surprised and shook his head.

"I'm poor and white, and I have two younger brothers. I'm not qualified to marry. Any girl who follows me will have to suffer. If this doesn't work, it will hurt her." What he said was very sincere.

The matchmaker sent back the words, and Qiu Su'e's uncle and aunt did not expect to get such a reply, and for a while they didn't know whether to praise the man for being honest and kind, or to scold him for being ungrateful.

After hearing this, Qiu Su'e was a little bit astonished, but she was not annoyed by the reasons given by Mu Feng, she only said that this matter cannot be forced, and I will talk about it later.

My aunt and uncle had no choice but to give up and not mention this matter anymore. Qiu Su'e didn't have any strange emotions, she was very calm, and she still did what she should do every day. Embarrassing, looks graceful.

After a few times, Mu Feng felt a little embarrassed. One day, seeing Qiu Su'e washing clothes by the river, he immediately walked over with two hares, and stopped at her under Qiu Su'e's surprised eyes. before.

"Miss Qiu... she declined the kindness of the matchmaker in the village before. She didn't intend to refute the good intentions of the girl's family. It's just that Mu's family has no walls, and there are two young brothers who need to be raised. It's really a heavy burden. If I follow the trend, That would be tantamount to pulling the girl into the fire pit, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible for Mu Mou!" He put the two hares at Qiu Su'e's feet, sincerely cupped his fists at her, and said apologetically, "Girl Mu Mou is really unworthy of such kindness, every time I see the girl coming to do the laundry these days, Mu Mou feels very guilty, I really can't help but come to explain to the girl today, I hope she will forgive me!"
