Yamashita family

Chapter 37 Zhao Waner

The girl from the Zhao family is called Zhao Wan'er, she sounds gentle and pleasant from the name, but she has a strong temper, but Su Zi appreciates such a woman, but some ancient people are not so magnanimous.

Zhao Wan'er's father passed away due to illness, leaving her orphan and widowed mother to face a group of relatives who wanted to take advantage of her. During the first three months, Zhao's mother, who was lingering on the sick bed, also followed, and now the siblings have suffered.

Zhao Wan'er's younger brother is called Zhao Yuanzhi, and you can tell from the name that the family has placed high hopes on him. Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were only eight years old when Zhao's mother died, and Zhao Wan'er was 14 years old.

Originally at the age of engagement, her family was also looking after her, but it was delayed because of Zhao's father's illness. Later, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother passed away one after another, and Zhao Wan'er kept filial piety for her parents for three years. This delay, It's seventeen this year and it hasn't been decided yet.

There is also a reason why Matchmaker Zhao mentioned Zhao Wan'er. The two of them have close relatives, but they have already released five clothes, so they are not considered close.

Matchmaker Zhao is usually very good at talking, but what everyone doesn't know is that she is actually a poor person. Before she got married, she lived with her uncle's house. It's gone, and I have no children to live with, so I can't sustain myself, so I rely on being a matchmaker to make ends meet.

Seeing Zhao Wan'er, whose background was similar to her own, she couldn't help but think of herself, and empathized with the two children.

Zhao Wan'er's uncle was an honest man, but he couldn't stand the powerful wife at home. His words at home didn't matter at all, and he was controlled to death by the wife.

After Zhao Wan'er's parents passed away, her aunt Zhang wanted to occupy their house and land in the name of taking care of the two children. Zhao Wan'er was only 14 years old, but she was smart.She studied with her father for several years when Zhao's father was alive.

Looking at her aunt, who usually has a bad relationship with her family, so enthusiastically, she knew what she was up to, but she was an elder after all, and Zhao Wan'er was a little helpless.

She and her younger brother were too young to farm, so the land had to be rented out or sold.

What if I sell it?She is a daughter, and her younger brother has no means of earning a living. If she sells the land again, she will have to sit and eat.

Renting it out and collecting some rent every year can maintain their basic life, but the problem arises again, who will rent it to?Who dares to rent it?Aunt Zhang is a troublemaker and treats those fields as her own possessions, so she suddenly wants to rent them out to others, so it's not a big deal!

If it is rented to the uncle and aunt's family, it is equivalent to giving it to their family. It is estimated that it is difficult to get a rent or something, so it is always a difficult problem for them to live on.

Zhao Wan'er also knew that this land had to be rented out, and it had to be rented to the uncle's family. The land deed must be in her own hands, and she had to go to the clan to clarify it, so as not to be unclear about what happened in the future.

There are several grandpas in the clan, and the eldest aunt does not dare to be too arrogant. If Li Zheng is hired as a notary, she will not be afraid that the eldest aunt will deny her rent. She does not ask for more, as long as it is enough for them It’s enough for two people to eat, and I usually do some embroidery work to earn some pocket money to buy salt and oil.

Who knew that the eldest aunt would be so greedy, that she wanted to occupy their house and fields, saying that she would take the two of them to live together so that it would be convenient to take care of them. labor.

Zhao Wan'er knew of her aunt's calculations, and Mrs. Zhang also knew that it was not easy to deceive her, so she focused all her attention on Zhao Zhiyuan, thinking that a child could not be manipulated casually.

Anyway, Zhao Wan'er is going to marry in the end, when the time comes, all the things in the house will belong to Zhao Zhiyuan, and if she can control Zhao Zhiyuan, she still worries that those things will not reach her own hands?
After she got the house deed and the land deed, she sent Zhao Zhiyuan far away. Maybe she could be sold to a rich family as a servant and add some income to the family.

And Zhao Wan'er's marriage was handled well, and she made a lot of money, sold it to a rich family as a concubine, and enjoyed a lot of happiness!With Zhao Wan'er's character and appearance, she might be favored, and she will be a good relative at that time, and she will be able to provide multiple ways out for her children.

Zhao Zhiyuan has a very good relationship with his sister. Although he is young, he is also relatively smart. Seeing that his sister ignores his aunt, he also has a lukewarm attitude. Of course, Mrs. Zhang can't deceive him.

If this is the case, it is not bad, the key is that her plan was accidentally overheard by her youngest son, and this youngest son was only seven years old at the time, one year younger than Zhao Zhiyuan, but he was raised by the family to be domineering. Soon, as soon as he heard the news, he yelled loudly when he went to bully Zhao Zhiyuan.

At that time, there were a lot of children together, and some adults were around. Hearing the yelling, Zhao Wan'er ran over immediately, fearing that his younger brother would be bullied, so he just listened to his words, but now Zhao Wan'er quit.

She even thought of occupying her family's property and selling herself and her younger brother. Zhao Wan'er hugged her younger brother and cried loudly in front of people, crying that her life was miserable, and she couldn't protect her younger brother without her parents. Zhao Zhiyuan saw her sister crying so sad , It also aroused his sadness, so he also burst into tears.

Just like that, the siblings cried in each other's arms, and the others couldn't bear to cry. They all accused Mrs. Zhang of being unethical and bullying a pair of children who had no father or mother.

This matter went straight to the clan and alarmed Li Zheng, and then Zhao Wan'er immediately decided to sever ties with her uncle's family. Although Uncle Zhao tried her best to restore it, Zhao Wan'er's attitude was firm, and she was about to sever ties. fulfilled her wish.

After that, she asked the patriarch to rent out her family's land to other clansmen, which was considered to appease the patriarch, and she took her younger brother to live life.

However, Zhao Wan'er's reputation has been ruined by the hard work of Zhang and others, so that getting married in the future will be a problem.

After Su Zi knew this, she felt that maybe all of this was calculated by Zhao Wan'er. After all, there are so many coincidences, and she decided to break off the relationship immediately. With such a firm attitude, it is conceivable that she has made enough mental preparations. , otherwise it will not react so quickly.

If someone else suddenly encountered such a thing, they would probably only feel the pain of their own life, and would not think so deeply, and her decisive behavior did not seem to be the product of impulse. Su Zi was suddenly curious about Zhao Wan'er, what kind of person is it? A woman can protect herself and her younger brother with such a decisive attitude!
After learning about Zhao Wan'er's details from Su's mother, Su Zi felt that she was a good girl, smart and rational, decisive in doing things, and well versed in the principle of being resolute and constantly rebelling against her.

"Mother, I'm telling the truth, don't mind." Su Zi first vaccinated Su's mother.

"Look at you, what can't be said at home." Mother Su complained with a smile.

"Do you think her act of breaking off the relationship is unfilial, or is it unacceptable to take her younger brother as a fool?" Su Zi didn't beat around the bush, going to the core of the problem.

Seeing that Su's mother didn't know how to answer, Su Zi added, "I still think you have both?"

"I can't say, anyway, I think there is something wrong with this matter." Su's mother is actually very conflicted. What happened to Zhao Wan'er is indeed worthy of sympathy, but at the same time, it will cause many people to misunderstand, thinking that such a woman is too strong and unruly. It does not conform to the ancient model of a good wife and mother.

"Then, mother, let's put it this way." Su Zi thought about changing the matter, "If Zhao Wan'er doesn't sever ties with her uncle's family, what do you think will happen to the two of them in the end?"

"This..." Mother Su couldn't speak anymore.

"According to Mrs. Zhang's greedy temperament, do you think Zhao Wan'er and her brother can really live well? In fact, this is still secondary. I'm afraid they will use the guise of elders to interfere in the life-long affairs of the two children. If Zhao Wan'er and Zhao Zhiyuan are really Sell, who will speak for them?"

"For the sake of the house and the fields, Mrs. Zhang would definitely do such a thing, not to mention beating, scolding and abusing them, and ordering the two of them to do rough and heavy work."

"If you want me to say that such relatives should be cut off early, or they will delay you for a lifetime. They are elders, and they can eat you to death with just this name. Otherwise, they are unfilial. They have raised you for so many years. But if you ignore them, then you are a white-eyed wolf, and you will not be able to speak up wherever you go."

Although filial piety was emphasized in ancient times, not everyone was willing to do so, but the word filial piety is like a mountain that weighs you down, no matter what you do, the word filial piety is as big as the sky.

"What you said is also reasonable. In fact, your father thinks that this child is not bad. After all, he is the eldest daughter-in-law. It is better to be strong." Mother Su said with a sigh.

"Are you afraid that she will be too strong and won't accept your discipline?" Su Zi left and asked, suddenly blessed.

Mother Su nodded her head this time. It doesn't matter if she is strong, but she is afraid that if she is unreasonable and strong, it will probably cause restlessness in the house.

"Then inquire about how she usually behaves, and I don't think Matchmaker Zhao is the kind who would deceive people. Since she dares to tell the whole situation, it shows that she is quite open and sincere."

"Yeah." Mother Su nodded, "You're right, let's talk about it when the time comes, we always have to find out."

What Su Zi and the others don't know is that Matchmaker Zhao is actually more anxious about this matter than they are. She just thinks that Zhao Waner's life is not easy. Also abundant.

The family is harmonious, the character is good, and there is no shortage of food and clothing. Such a family is actually a good choice for many women. At that time, when the Zhou family and the Su family divorced, many people felt that the Zhou family could not see clearly. At that time, many people inquired Su Bai's marriage, but Su Bai is not what everyone wants.

Matchmaker Zhao also followed Mother Su's conditions for a long time, and felt that Zhao Wan'er was still very qualified, so she talked to Mother Su, and tried to make it work.
