After resigning, I want to go back to the village to grow sweet potatoes

Chapter 175 Marriage
"Mei Xiang, how can you commit suicide? You are still so young, what can't you figure it out?"

Zhuang Su jumped into the river to rescue Mei Xuexiang.

Although Zhuang Su has been fighting guerrillas in the mountains all year round, Qingshui River is also a good place for him to catch fish and shrimp, so his water skills are very good, and it is easy to rescue Mei Xuexiang ashore.

"Brother Su, I will never go to Mei's house, and I have nowhere else to go, so what if I don't dive into the river?"

"Would you like to go to our Clear Water Bay? It's just too poor."

"Brother Su, if you don't say poor, I won't go. If you say you are too poor, I will go with you!"

In this way, Mei Xuexiang followed Zhuang Su to Qingshuiwan Village.

"Mei Xiang, thank you for serving my daughter for so many years. Qingshuiwan Village will be your home from now on, and you will be my daughter."

Patriarch Lin is grateful to Mei Xuexiang and wants to accept Mei Xiang as a righteous daughter.

"Patriarch, it should be Mei Xiang thanking you for your kindness. I have a request. I wonder if you can agree?"

"Please speak first."

"Patriarch, Mei Xiang is my maidservant's name. Since you recognize me as your daughter, can I be named Lin from now on?"

"Naturally, I'm very happy, the Lin family has another virtuous woman!"

Patriarch Lin immediately added the name Lin Meixiang to the family tree.

"Congratulations to the patriarch, you have the wonderful woman Ximeizi, and now you have the virtuous woman Mei Xiang. Congratulations!"

"Zhuang Su, you are not young, you should have a family. I think Mei Xiang is pretty good. How about you two choosing a date to get married?"

"Patriarch, this..."

"Zhuang Su, originally you and Ximeizi were a match made in heaven, and I would trust you to entrust Ximeizi to you. But you don't have to worry about her now, and she is not suitable for living with you. Meixiang is your fate, You will be able to live a good life with love and love."

"Patriarch, I wonder if Mei Xiang is willing?"

"Brother Su, please accept Mei Xiang's life-saving grace from bowing down to you first, and Mei Xiang is willing to entrust Brother Su for life."

Mei Xuexiang came out from the back room, and kowtowed to Zhuang Su to get married.

When Mei Xuexiang was at home, apart from listening to Mr. Mei praising Lin Xizhen, Zhuang Su was the one the old man talked about the most.She had a good impression of Zhuang Su for a long time. When she was in the family mansion, Zhuang Su pretended to be a farmer delivering vegetables many times and came in to rescue Lin Xizhen.Now that Zhuang Su rescued her from Shuihe again, he fell in love with him even more.

After Zhuang Su got married, he went to Shuizhou to visit Mr. Mei.

"That girl won't come to see me?"

"Mei Xiang said, she, she..."

"Zhuang Su, why did you become a mother-in-law too? Speak directly!"

"Mei Xiang said that she doesn't need you to take her in. She will never set foot in Mei's house in her life."

"Oh, my daughter, you're going to hurt Daddy to death!"

Mr. Mei put his hands on his chest and almost fell from the chair to the ground.

"Daughter? Father? Mr. Mei, what's going on?"

"Zhuang Su, this is the end of the matter, let me tell you the truth."

Mr. Mei told Zhuang Su in detail how he said the wrong thing, how Mei Xuexiang pretended to be a maidservant and entered the house.

"Mr. Mei, I really didn't know that Mei Xiang was the eldest lady. If I knew she was the eldest lady, I wouldn't dare to bring her to Qingshuiwan Village and marry her if I had a hundred guts."

Zhuang Su quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

"Zhuang Su, get up. I should thank you, thank you for bringing Xue'er to Qingshui Bay, and thank you for marrying her."

Mr. Mei helped Zhuang Su up.

"Mr. Mei, what do you say?"

"Zhuang Su, you should call me Dad from now on. Xue'er's mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to her younger brother. She helped me with housework and took care of my two younger brothers since she was a child. She was smarter and more capable than her peers. But for some reason, I After meeting Ximeizi, I always compare her with Ximeizi, which will inevitably hurt her heart. If you hadn’t brought her to Qingshuiwan, she would have committed suicide in another way if she didn’t throw herself into the river. It’s her who made Qingshuiwan her home It is a blessing for me, and being able to marry you as my wife is her best destination, and I can have no worries in my heart!"

"Father, don't worry, I will take good care of Xue'er in this life!"

"Zhuang Su, I'm naturally relieved of this. I have no doubts about your character. But I have a request. After you go back, don't say that you met me, and don't point out Xue'er's life experience. You still treat her as a Accompanying the maid to embroider."

"Father, why are you doing this?"

"I know Xue'er's personality. She will only recognize me as a father and step into the small courtyard of Mei's family when she recovers. Otherwise, she will still do extreme behavior."

"Father, my son-in-law understands that my son-in-law must keep a secret, and one day Xue'er will come to see you after she realizes it."

"Oh, why am I hurting her all the time? I owe it to her!"

"Father, don't be too sad, Xue'er is a good girl, she will return to Mei's small courtyard one day, and return to your side."

"I guess I can't wait for that day!"

Mr. Mei burst into tears.

Although Zhuang Su often insinuated that Mei Xuexiang would go to Shuizhou together, sit in the small courtyard of Mei’s house, and meet Mr. Mei, but Mei Xuexiang was determined not to go to Qingshuiwan or Shuizhou.

In his twilight years, Mr. Mei donated all the clinics in Shuizhou to the country, and sold off the pharmacy and other assets, leaving only the Mei family courtyard.

On this day, Mr. Mei came to the dilapidated house where Lin Xizhen lived.

"Who are you looking for, old man?"

Yu Dayou stopped Mr. Mei.

"Are you a kid from the Yu family? I'm looking for your mother."

"What are you doing with my mother, you old man?"

"Of course I have something to do with her."

"I don't allow you to find it!"

"why?"

"You don't look like a good person!"

"Why am I not a good person?"

"Rich old men are not good people, they always want to take advantage of my mother!"

"Hehe, you kid still knows how to protect your mother?"

"I'm not protecting my mother, I'm afraid she will bring me a bigger bad name."

"What do you mean by that?"

"People here say that my mother is a bad woman and Yu Deshui's concubine. I hate her!"

"Yu Deshui is your father, how can you call him by his first name? Also, your mother worked so hard to bring you up, you should be grateful to her, how can you hate her?"

"Why do you talk so much nonsense, old man? Why did she give birth to me? Why did she want to be that devil's concubine? I don't have a little friend, and they don't play with me!"

"Then you should study hard, be self-respecting and self-improving, and protect your mother when you grow up."

"I protect her? I wish she could die now!"

"Hey, what mother in the world has a son who curses him like that? Are you not afraid of retribution when struck by lightning?"

"Retribution? It's her who will suffer! Bad old man, why don't you get out of here? What are you talking about? It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

Yu Dayou took a wooden stick by the door to beat Mr. Mei.

"You stop!"

Lin Xizhen came out of the house.

"If you say stop, I'll stop? I'm going to beat, kill this bad old man!"

Yu Dayou didn't listen to Lin Xizhen's words, and threw the stick in his hand at Mr. Mei viciously.

"I'll let you fight!"

Mr. Mei stretched out his hand, grabbed the wooden stick, and hit Yu Dayou hard on the buttocks twice.

"Ah yo, you old man can use force? Grandparents, uncles and aunts in the neighborhood, this couple of adulterers and prostitutes are going to beat me to death, come out and judge!"

"what happened?"

"Why Mr. Mei?"

"Mr. Mei, what's going on?"

Neighbors gathered around to watch the fun.

Everyone looked down on Lin Xizhen, but they respected Mr. Mei very much. Every household had more or less taken care of Mr. Mei.

"Everyone, Ximeizi is my goddaughter. Thank you for taking care of her. From today onwards, she will move to live in our Mei family courtyard."

Mr. Mei announced the decision in front of the neighbors.

"Mr. Mei, I will never move into the small courtyard of the Mei family."

"Ximeizi, our Mei family is going to withdraw from Shuizhou, I ask you to take care of the small courtyard for me, is that okay?"
