Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 20 The Uninvited Guest

Watching Zhou Banxia's figure disappear nimbly at the end of the winding path, he paused for a moment, and when there was no movement from the Zhou family, Gu Wenxuan came down from the tree.

When I returned to Gu's house the way I came, I was surprised to hear noises coming from the main room and the side room.

After another hour, more people came out when I woke up.

There is no idle person in Lao Gu's family.

In order to allow her children and grandchildren to go out early and find work, Mrs. Gu changed the "morning meal" time and asked her daughter-in-law to prepare breakfast in advance every day.

Children and grandchildren each bring dry food with them when they go out. They don't have to buy and throw out the expenses, and they can arrive early and grab work early. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, and no one dares to disobey.

Lying back on the kang, Gu Wenxuan had time to calm down and start to think through his thoughts, but he found that the more he reasoned, the more confused he became. The experience of his couple was already theological.

At the same time, Zhou Banxia was also puzzled.

Unlike Gu Wenxuan who couldn't get in, he returned to the west room in the dark and went inside again.

It was not an illusion, the faucet did contain water after passing it through Gu Wenxuan's hands.

Take a sip.

Pinpin doesn't taste like tap water, but more like well water.

During the previous high temperature and drought, a deep well was drilled in the backyard, and a tee and main valve were added at the front end of the main water inlet pipe to connect tap water and well water.

When using well water, the tap water is turned off, so Xuanzi does the work of opening and closing the valves on weekdays. He must turn on the tap himself?
Zhou Banxia was amused by his own imagination.If so, the photovoltaic system would have been installed in the home, and it would be shared with the city power supply.

I really can't figure it out, so I can only wait and see.The timing was not right, otherwise if Xuanzi put some blood on the copper coin, it might still be possible to see what was wrong.

Three or four o'clock in the morning was the time when I felt sleepy, and the insects didn't give Zhou Banxia any extra time to think. He fell asleep soon after his head hit the pillow.

When I wake up again, I won’t have any time to spare.

The wedding was approaching, so I went shopping in the county town on Thursday, and Mrs. Li returned to her parents' home to announce the good news.

Even though Zhou Daya rushed back to her parents' house early in the morning to help, Zhou Banxia was still very busy.

This eldest sister is not an ordinary person. From morning to evening, except at noon when Dajiang Xiaohe returned from school in the village and had lunch together, she never stopped.

Not only did he talk and talk, but he also hurriedly pulled her from the house to the outside, from the front yard to the backyard, constantly teaching the farmer's daughter-in-law what to do in daily life.

The key is to teach her how to be lazy when doing housework, and how to behave well in the eyes of outsiders. No one can call her a lazy daughter-in-law.

No wonder her mother dared to say that the eldest daughter was in her husband's family and no one laid a finger on her.

For an ordinary mother-in-law, her son cannot control her daughter-in-law, so there is really nothing she can do with such a daughter-in-law.

Finally, it was getting dark, the tutorial was over, the ears were quiet, and the family started to have dinner.

As a result, as soon as I put down the dishes, another uninvited guest came to the door.

An old lady in her 60s or [-]s and two women in their [-]s or [-]s came. I heard one of the women calling the little old lady mother.

Zhou Banxia's eyes flashed.

"Why are you here again?" Zhou Shun saw that the matchmaker who came to his house before came again, and responded with some displeasure, "My Sanya has already found a good match."

"I know, I know, our family is unlucky." The old lady quickly took over, "My family is unlucky-" "Mom." The woman supporting the old lady interrupted with a smile, "Thank you, eldest sister, for leading the way."

"Okay, I'll go back first. Sit down and talk if you have anything to say." The matchmaker smiled apologetically at Zhou Shun and Li, and hurriedly left the main room before they could speak.

"Is she Miss Banxia?" Although the old lady's tone was questioning, she pushed her daughter-in-law away without any hesitation and bowed down to salute Zhou Banxia.

Zhou Banxia quickly stepped aside, knowing that if the other party could shout this greeting, she must have found out that she had worked as a maid beside Mrs. Gao before.

Mrs. Li was angry, "What are you doing? Here comes Tian Du. He's quite old. He came up to salute my Sanya. Whoever you want to ruin your luck, get out!"

"Children, you still can't figure out who they are?" Zhou Shun sneered, "Why, you still want to be tough, where is your bastard son?"

"No, I misunderstood. Brother, listen to me first." The daughter-in-law quickly smoothed things over, "I checked before I came here. My child's father also swore a poisonous oath. He was indeed wrong, but he really didn't interfere. Selling children. He’s easy to deceive, but he doesn’t have the guts to harm anyone.”

"Well, let me, an old man like me, let me tell you." The old lady patted her daughter-in-law's hand that was supporting her, "My family is unfortunate, and the evildoer confessed everything he couldn't hide.

When he first heard the news that your child had been sold, he felt something was wrong, so he went to find that bitch and that woman to inquire about it, but the woman even threatened him to get rid of it.

She also said that she was pregnant with a child, so the evildoer was caught and she was given 50 taels of silver at that time, and a lot more later.

To tell you the truth, my family sounds like a fairly well-to-do family, but in fact we don’t have much at all. The land we have is passed down from my father-in-law.

This criminal was frightened and angry. He had been blackmailed for several years. Even when he was penniless, he stole his wife's dowry jewelry and sold it.Once or twice too many times, his wife noticed. "

The woman nodded in agreement, and while helping her mother-in-law sit down, she replied, "We have been married for so many years, and I know that his nature is not bad, but he is easily deceived.

At first I thought he was in a gambling house, but I was afraid that he wouldn't tell the truth when I asked, so I had to discuss it with my mother and change him to someone who would accompany him, and slowly I touched the side.

When I came to propose marriage before, I swore I had no evil intentions.I'm thinking that my child is innocent and implicated. My child is not like his father and wants to get married to you. "

Zhou Banxia glanced at his parents and felt relieved to see that they both looked disbelieving.

But since the matter has been handed over to the clan leader and others, it is useless to say more.

The father and daughter looked at each other, Zhou Shun nodded slightly, and Zhou Banxia exited the main room, quietly asking Dajiang Xiaohe who was guarding outside to ask Patriarch Zhou to come.

"...If the child's father had been fooling around outside, nothing would have happened. Even if I came to propose marriage before, I was at fault. I should not have lacked sincerity and deliberately concealed the scandal.

I know clearly that you are different from them, but I was confused. I didn't communicate with you privately in advance and only thought about my own good things. I'm really sorry.

Originally, my father-in-law wanted to come to the house to apologize in person, but he was already so angry that I was lying on the kang.My mother said she would come with me and asked for your forgiveness. "

Zhou Banxia's steps stagnated, but after thinking about it, he raised the cotton curtain and entered the main room.

As expected, the heartless mother's expression became much gentler.

"Miss Banxia."

"I knew your intention, so even though I had some guesses about your intention to propose marriage, I didn't tell my parents the truth.

"It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies." Originally, I wanted to visit him at home, but something unexpected happened, and now the matter has been handed over to our clan leader.

Wait a moment. When he comes, you can discuss it with my father.

However, you have to make sure you don't cause any trouble to my family. "
