Lord Mo has made him obediently favored

Chapter 173 I am a Man of One Thought (1)

In the new year, the red confetti in this place is wet with dew.

Xi Qin was about to sweep with a broom, but the old man stopped her immediately when he came out of the house, "Girl, don't sweep, don't sweep."

"Grandpa, there are so many, don't you want to sweep it?" The confetti was all over the floor, looking very uncomfortable.

"Don't sweep, it's unlucky. It will sweep away the happiness." The old man stood outside the yard and motioned her to look outside, "Look, the outside of everyone's yard is a piece of red, which symbolizes the joy of the New Year and everything goes well .”

Xi Qin took a look, and it was true that the cannon paper behind the fireworks and firecrackers outside each courtyard had not been swept away.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I don't understand, and something almost went wrong." Xi Qin apologized.

"It's not your fault. In fact, this is just a way of saying, a kind of psychological comfort. Going forward, there are no fireworks in our house, isn't it still like this?" The old man glanced at the few men in the yard , I was stunned for a moment, "You guys haven't slept all night. Hurry up and get in the house, it's very cold this morning."

Xi Qin supported the old man, "Grandpa, don't worry about them."

"No. Hurry up and go inside." Seeing that they were all wearing thin clothes and stood outside for another night, the old man felt a little distressed. "Come inside and sit down. I'll cook glutinous rice balls for you to eat."

The old man insisted on letting them in, Xi Qin had no choice but to nod, "Go in."

Everyone entered the house, and everyone was tall and burly, and they filled the hall as soon as they entered.

Ji Yinian was kneading rice dumpling powder in the kitchen, when he heard footsteps, he turned around, "Grandpa."

"Nian Nian, where's your grandson-in-law?" The old man was looking for Shangguan Mo as soon as he came in.

Ji Yinian frowned, "Grandpa, we're already divorced."

"You child. No matter whether you leave or not, I stayed with you last night, so I shouldn't say such things now."

"Grandpa! It wasn't him who stayed with me all night, but I was quarreled by him all night. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be dozing off now." Ji Yinian protested, strongly expressing his dissatisfaction.

The old man walked over and said earnestly, "Nian Nian, actually that kid is not bad."

"Grandpa, how could you speak up for him so quickly?" Ji Yinian felt helpless.

"It's not for him. Grandpa is old enough to judge people. Nian Nian, grandpa is old, and he can't spend much time with you. If there is someone who knows you well, Grandpa hopes he can take good care of you."

"Grandpa, it's Chinese New Year, what are you talking about?" Ji Yinian was anxious, "Don't say any more."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I won't say anything." When the old man raised his eyes, he saw Shangguan Mo standing at the door of the kitchen, "Boy, come here and Grandpa will talk to you."

Ji Yinian frowned, "Grandpa..."

The old man smiled at Ji Yinian, "Cook more, those kids outside worked hard last night."

Ji Yinian: "..."

Watching the old man walk up to Shangguan Mo, Shangguan Mo helped the old man to go out, Ji Yimian was in a mess.

.

In the backyard, the old man lit a pile of firewood early on.

The first day of the new year is not so cold.

The early sun rose, and the sun shone on her body, but there was still a tinge of warmth.

Shangguan Mo looked at the old man wearing a military uniform from decades ago, holding a branch and flicking firewood, wearing a velvet cap on his head, and the hair around his ears was as white as snow.

The face of the old man has been engraved with marks by the years, but his eyes are piercing.

"Your name is..." The old man looked at him.

"Shangguan Mo. Grandpa can call me Ah Mo." Shangguan Mo replied.

The old man nodded slightly, "Ah Mo."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"You and Niannian, what's going on?"

Shangguan Mo replied seriously, "I hurt her."

The old man frowned, "What did you do to her? Shangguan Mo, let me tell you, I am quite old, but if you dare to hurt my granddaughter, I will fight you to the death!"

"Grandpa, don't get excited. It's my fault, and I will try my best to get her forgiveness. But now, she has something on her mind and can't act too hastily. Grandpa, don't worry, she is my wife, the only wife. In this life, I won't let her down."

"Are you serious?"

"No half lie."

The old man's brows did not relax because of his affirmation, but the worry on his brows became more and more intense.

"Ah Mo, Niannian has always been a pretender since she was a child. She only reported good news to me but not bad news. In the past few years, she has been abroad and never came back, but she often calls. Her parents are missing. , she didn’t tell me either. For so many years, she never mentioned those things about her abroad in front of me. "

"I'm old, but I'm not confused. My son and daughter-in-law... are probably gone already." The old man's eyes were foggy.

He wiped his eyes and looked at him seriously, "Ah Mo, I used to want to find a good family for Niannian, hoping that after I left, there would be a husband's family who would protect her and love her. But...you I've also heard that I found three families for her, but I just got engaged. Before I met a few times, the man's... disappeared. The three families. Nian Nian's reputation has also been ruined because of this. I'm so worried, I can't sleep at night."

"I was thinking, what should she do if I leave." The old man's eyes were full of worry.

"Grandpa, it's Chinese New Year, don't think about it. Just rest your heart, I will treat her well and love her well." Shangguan Mo held the old man's hand, "Grandpa, thank you for letting Niannian follow me. "

The old man looked up at those firm eyes. In his eyes, he saw that he was sincere, sincere, and not ostentatious at all.

"At the beginning, when Matchmaker Zhang talked about this marriage, I disagreed. After all, you are the son of a rich family, and it is difficult for a rich family to serve you. But I also have selfish intentions. Niannian suffered all the eyes from the neighbors in the village. , some people drove her out of the village and refused to let her come back. I thought, if she married out, it would be different in a big city after all."

"Even if she is not liked by her husband's family, with her temperament, she can't stand it and will ask for a divorce. Besides, when Zhang Matchmaker told you about your situation, I thought that my granddaughter's family background is not good, but It looks good. It's evened out."

Shangguan Mo smiled when he heard these words.

The old man's guess was correct, Ji Yinian did ask for divorce from time to time, and he also used his appearance at that time as an excuse.

"Grandpa, from the moment she married me, she was Shangguan's wife. This identity cannot be changed. I am a soldier. Once I get married, I will not divorce." Shangguan Mo saw the astonishment in the old man's eyes. , the smile became more obvious.

"You, are you a soldier?"

"Yes. So, Grandpa, please rest assured that I will protect her, love her, and never leave her in this life."

A solemn oath, knowing that he is a soldier, the old man feels more solemn, serious, and has greater protection and trust.

Ji Yinian cooked the glutinous rice balls and served a bowl for everyone.

She noticed that her grandfather seemed to be in a better mood after talking with Shangguan Mo, so she glanced at the elegant Shangguan Mo.

I don't know what the two of them said.

However, Grandpa blindly asked her to serve Shangguan Mo a few more glutinous rice balls, and smiled at him.

After breakfast, Ji Yinian cleaned up the dishes.

Xi Qin also followed the kitchen.

"This place is small, you should go out." Ji Yinian glanced at her.

"I don't know why Master Mo still cares about you so much, but Ji Yinian, I hope you won't do anything wrong to Master Mo again." Xi Qin helped rinse the bowl, with a bad tone.

Ji Yinian smiled, "Did I beg him to come? Or did I force him to come?"

Xi Qin frowned and glared at her, "Is your heart so hard? As soon as he finished his business yesterday, he rushed to accompany you to celebrate the New Year's Eve regardless of the night. You know, he hasn't slept for two consecutive nights. Didn't he do all this to give you face, and to make those who despise you dare not point fingers at you? Ji Yinian, I really doubt whether your heart is hard-hearted, why did you just Can it be warmed up?"

"Then do you want me to be with him, or not?" Ji Yinian stopped what he was doing, and looked at her indifferently.

Xi Qin frowned.

Ji Yinian chuckled, "You don't even have an accurate answer in your heart, so what's the point of you telling me these things here? Just like when I was with her, you said I wasn't good enough for him. Now, I Divorced him, and you said I was indifferent. Then tell me, what should I do?"

Xi Qin was speechless.

"I don't need your help here, you can go out." Ji Yinian and her also had nothing to say.

She was not very angry with Xi Qin's attitude towards her.

She knew very well that Shangguan Mo was very important to Xi Qin.

She would not allow anyone to do anything wrong to Shangguan Mo, and she might even regard Shangguan Mo as more important than herself.

It's not love, it's a belief.

Ji Yinian understands.

Xi Qin didn't leave, but stood behind her.

After a long silence, she said, "Master Mo loves you."

Ji Yinian's back stiffened slightly.

"If you still want to be with Master Mo, I hope you treat him well." After Xi Qin finished speaking, he walked out of the kitchen.

Ji Yinian was stunned for a while, then continued with the work at hand.

Just finished washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen.

There was scolding outside.

Ji Yinian ran out immediately, and the yard was full of people again.

The whole village came running.

Her eyes shone slightly, these people don't plan to have a good New Year's Eve.

"Ji Yinian, come out! You killed my son, you still have the face to come back! Ji Yinian, come out for me, you bastard, you are a villain." The high-pitched and sharp curses resounded through the sky of the village.

"Give back my son's life! You evil spirit, give me back my son's life!"

"My son, your life is really hard. This is the first year you have been away, and Mom misses you. My son, it is Mom who is sorry for you, and found you a woman named Kefu, Let you go away at a young age, leave me and your dad behind, and let us white-haired people give up black-haired people." Weeping loudly, compassionate.

The sound of scolding, crying, and mourning one after another was more lively than the sound of firecrackers last night.

Mr. Ji was trembling with anger, "I said, the Tian family, the Mao family, the Liu family, all of you came to my house to cry and mourn during the Chinese New Year. What's your intention? Your son's life is short, so why blame my granddaughter? It was checked at the beginning, and it was your son who got sick, got into a car accident, and died of drowning. Why did you blame our family? You have to rely on your conscience, it’s just a coincidence, how can you take this responsibility Throw it at my old Ji's house?"

"Old man Ji, what you said sounds good. My son has been doing well for so many years, why did he just talk about marriage with your family, and he disappeared? Oh, my poor son, I regret it. If I had known earlier, I would have let you beat him You've been a bachelor all your life, so you shouldn't be looking for this marriage, it's killing you." The woman of the Tian family sat down on the ground, slapping her legs and yelling.

Both the Mao family and the Liu family sat on the ground, with their eyes closed and their mouths opened wide, both yelling and crying.

All the people in the village, not at home to celebrate the New Year, all came to watch the fun and give pointers.

"Hey, is there really such a coincidence in this world? Even the sons of the three families died. What a crime."

"Ji Yi Nian's horoscope is hard, Ke Fu's life. Fortunately, I didn't introduce her to my nephew at the beginning, otherwise I would be sorry for my sister's family."

"In the future, don't meddle in things like this. To find a partner for a child, you must have the horoscope."

"That's right."

"However, it is too much for these three families to come here to make trouble today."

"Oh, it's New Year's Eve, other people's families are reunited, but they and their son are far away from each other. It will inevitably cause sad things, which is unacceptable."

"The Ji family was so beautiful last night, but people came to make trouble early this morning, alas..."

The three families sat in their courtyard as if they were in mourning. Mr. Ji was anxious and angry, and it was useless to say anything.

Ji Yinian came out and looked at the three women with a cold face.

"Have you cried enough?" Ji Yinian said in a cold voice, "Do you need me to move a stool for you to sit and cry?"

"You, you heartless woman. At any rate, you were engaged to my family, Liping. You have lived a decent life now, so you forget about him? If it weren't for you, how could my son Liping die?"

"My poor son, other people are laughing and laughing here, and the family is happy, but you are alone at the other end, deserted and lonely... My poor son..."

"Ji Yinian, you killed my son, we have a hard time, and you don't have a good time either!"

Ji Yinian understood that these three people did it on purpose.

On the first day of the new year, I ran to the house to make trouble, didn't I just hope that they would not be able to celebrate the new year?
"Your son suffered a sudden illness, one fell into the water, and the other died in a drunk driving accident. These are all justified. Why should I hold a basin of dirty water on my head? Also, just like your son It's just a promise of marriage, but I haven't made an appointment yet, how could it be my fault?" Ji Nian said every word, standing among them, condescending.

Ji Yinian sneered, "I'm not your daughter-in-law yet, I haven't entered your house yet, I don't dare to wear such a high hat."

"You're still quibbling! My son is a good man, he told you about his marriage, and he disappeared on the eve of the engagement. If he hadn't gotten involved with you, would he have died?" The wife of the Tian family pointed at Ji Yinian angrily.

"Your son died of a heart attack, what does it have to do with me?" Ji Yinian snorted coldly, "I tell you, before you slandered me, I understand that you lost your son, you were in a bad mood, and you wanted to vent your grievances. I can bear it. But today, the first day of the new year, you came to my door to cry, I can't bear it."

"Don't accuse me of unwarranted crimes anymore. I have a bad temper. It won't be good for some of you to go to worship on this day every year." Ji Yinian was enveloped in hostility, and his whole person looked ghastly.

Many spectators were startled by Ji Yimian's appearance.

The three crying women froze.

Then he regained his composure and began to cry, "Folks, did you hear that? She wants us to die. This person is so vicious, how can he stay in the village. She wants to Everyone in our village must be killed. Oh, what kind of crime is this, how can there be such a person in our village. "

At this time, Shangguan Mo didn't say anything.

He just gave Zheng Xuan a look, and Zheng Xuan led the people out of the yard without saying anything.

After a while, each of them held firecrackers in their hands and placed them in circles in the yard several times, surrounding the three women.

"You, what do you want to do?" The lady of the Tian family stared at them when she saw their actions.

"You cry so hard, I really can't stand it anymore." Zheng Xuan took out the lighter, lit the fuse of the firecracker, and threw it in the middle.

There was a crackling sound, and the firecrackers all over the yard exploded.

The three crying women in the middle were so frightened that they stood up and jumped up and down, screaming and screaming, and they didn't even have time to cry.

The firecrackers lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and everyone's ears were buzzing.

The three crying women were frightened and hid far away, not daring to come over.

"It's Chinese New Year, let everyone be lively. There are still a few boxes of fireworks outside, why not set them off now." Zheng Xuan said with a smile to the folks watching the excitement.

Everyone knew that the person who came to Ji's house last night had a background, and they set off fireworks all night, and they still have them to this day.

Moreover, there are so many tough men, none of them seem easy to mess with, and they also know that the firecrackers are just a warning.

It's a big Chinese New Year, so you can't do it.

The crowd didn't dare to watch anymore, so they dispersed.

Only those three families were still standing there, refusing to leave or come in.

"Hey, they came here on purpose to find trouble." Mr. Ji sighed heavily.

Ji Yinian looked back at his grandfather, the sad expression on his face did not look like today's joy.

I feel resentment and worry in my heart.

Looking at the three families standing outside the yard, there were at least a dozen of them.

It's really disgusting that they don't seek justice and vow not to give up.

"They didn't come here to seek justice, but to seek benefits." Shangguan Mo walked to Ji Yinian's side, his voice soft.

Ji Yinian glanced at him, "I know."

Immediately afterwards she said, "It's not because of you, it's too public, they are jealous."

Ji Yinian was very clear that they came because they knew there was a rich man like Shangguan Mo, and the fireworks last night were telling them that the Ji family got rich.

Now people come to the door to catch up on the past and say that they come to make trouble on the first day of the new year because they want to benefit.

"It's easy to spend money if you want it." Shangguan Mo turned around and was about to call Zheng Xuan.

Ji Yinian grabbed his hand, "What are you doing?"

"Give them money and let them go. It's here to affect Grandpa's mood."

"I said, are you stupid? If they come to make trouble today, you will give me money. After that, if they are short of money, they will make trouble every day. Do you use money to pay?" Ji Yiji said, "You are usually such a smart person, Wouldn't it be unexpected."

Hearing what she said, Shangguan Mo raised his thin lips lightly, "My wife is smart, she can see through it at a glance."

"You!" Ji Yinian didn't know what to say when he called him that.

She glared at him fiercely, "We're divorced!"

"Yes." Shangguan Mo took her hand.

Ji Yinian flung it away, "Don't talk about it."

Shangguan Mo grabbed her hand again, "It's enough for you to know about the divorce. We must be very affectionate in front of outsiders. Only in this way can we break other people's impression of you."

"I don't need it!" Ji Yinian struggled.

"Stop making trouble." Shangguan Mo's face instantly became gloomy, not as gentle as before.

Ji Yinian frowned, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Let him lead him towards the three families.

"I am a man of Yi Nian." Shangguan Mo's eyes were cold and his tone was low.

The three families knew that Ji Yinian was married, and also guessed that this man was Ji Yinian's husband.

But looking at it up close now, this man is different from the rich people they usually see.

The aura is very strong, very difficult to mess with.

"I don't care who you are. She beat my brother to death. She wants to have a good year, but there's no way!" A young man from the Tian family stood up, arrogantly.

"What do you want?" Shangguan Mo looked directly at him coldly.

The guy stood up and sneered, "Ji Yinian is married to a rich man, but our Tian family will not be able to pass the year without my brother as a main force. Hmph, Ji Yinian dragged down our family, what do you think?" manage?"

Ji Yinian subconsciously glanced at Shangguan Mo, but Shangguan Mo didn't look at her.

She frowned, she knew that the three families were here to ask for money.
