Chapter 20: Dear

After seeing a good show, Wei Chi slowly shook it back. He was very honest with the brothers of Dahu and Erhu, because of their honesty and full trust in him and Xie Jiu. Wei Chi really felt like a father, and unconsciously wanted to take care of the two brothers and worry about their brothers' affairs. Now Erhu is getting married, which is a sign of true maturity for a man.

"Honor, are you going for a walk?"

On the way back, Wei Chi met a group of big girls who went to get the feed, the little wife. The big girls looked at him, covered their mouths and laughed with shame, and after seeing the gift, they ran away with the corner of their skirts. The little wives greeted Wei Chi openly. There is no need to doubt that the word "无光" was also spoken by Wei Chi.

"Yes, you guys, go get the feed?" Wei Chi greeted with a smile.

Among the returned crowd, there was an old woman with gray hair and thin hair with deep eyes. When she heard the movement, she listened for a while, pulled the person beside her and asked, "Is the owner of the manor here?"

"Yes, the owner of the manor comes for a walk every day, and he greets us kindly every time he meets him. It's a nice person."

"Where is the direction of the owner?"

The man told the old woman the direction. The old woman turned to Wei Chi, put down her things, groped for blessings, and shouted: "Master, I have something to ask for advice, please take the time to see you."

When Wei Chi heard this, he turned his head and saw that it was Yun Niang's mother, the old mother of the Guan family. She walked over with a smile and said, "Miss Guan, I am Wei Chi, what's the matter? Please tell me."

The old woman pulled up the corner of her skirt, wiped her hands, and said, "As for my family, I have a few words to say about my marriage between Yun Niang and Erhu. I don't want Yun Niang to hear it. Can the owner of the manor say it here?"

The deep-sleeping eye sockets, the shriveled body, the wrinkles on his face when he smiled, the tanned skin color, the rough palms, and the hands of an ordinary rural village woman. These hands reminded Wei Chi of his mother, as dark, as thin and rough as an old tree bark, making people sad.

Wei Chi said gently: "Okay, let's just say it here. What's the aunt's words? Please say it."

Aunt Guan said, "I don't want Erhu to marry into our Guan family. If my Yunniang said, please don't count. She is a little girl and is ignorant. The Guan family still has the final say, and she is the head of the Guan family."

Wei Chi was stunned and said, "Auntie, why do you say that?"

Aunt Guan said, "Erhu is a good child. Although Lao Shi is blind, he is not blind. A child as diligent and capable as him has a good heart. It is hard for my wife Yun to meet again. If he lets his family marry into his family and bears his ancestors, how can he be so wronged? The owner of the mansion has great kindness to us. Erhu is from the Wei Mansion. If he is wronged, Lao Shi will have no face to meet his ancestors underground."

Is it that serious that it involves the ancestral problem?!

Wei Chi suddenly remembered that there were not so many taboos in modern times. It seemed that in ancient times, this problem was very serious, and it seemed that he had to change his surname. Wei Chi scratched his head and asked, "Auntie, we Erhu liked your girl and sincerely wanted to marry your family. If there is any objection, we can discuss it slowly. For the sake of their couple's future life, we can't let Erhu be wronged or Yunniang be wronged, right?"

Aunt Guan smiled and said, "The owner of the manor is a scholar. He speaks more clearly than his old man. This is the case."

Wei Chi Khan, whenever someone says he is a scholar, he thinks it is scolding him. He quickly continued the topic and said, "Since the aunt also agrees with this principle, then, is there any reason for the problem of the disagreement between the aunt and Yun Niang? If there is any difficulty, let's solve it together, and everyone will soon become relatives. Do you think, right?"

Aunt Guan smiled reluctantly, with a sad face and said, "It was all the old man who dragged the child down. Her father went there early. Our family was not named Zhao, and it was not born and raised by this village, but fled during the war. Our Guan family originally had an eldest son, who starved to death with Yun Niang's father. At that time, Yun Niang's child was only five years old. It was not easy for an old man to pull a daughter up. After going to the field to farm, he could only rely on sewing and subsidies to supplement the family. Those who save money can also raise Yun Niang, but his eyes were blind."

Wei Chi looked at Aunt Guan carefully and heard from Mrs. Liu that she was only in her forty years old and was already in her 40s. If she didn't talk about her real age, I'm afraid that someone would believe her sixty years, and the hardships were evident. I heard that her eyes were also blinded by staying up late to do needlework all year round. In modern times, it was not easy for a single woman to raise a child, let alone in this more difficult ancient times. Being a single mother was not easy, no matter in ancient times.

Wei Chi sighed. While pulling his sleeves, Aunt Guan said, "My wife Yun has been married before. My husband's family is not far away, and she is in the Baijiazhuang in the past. Before marrying, she agreed to her husband's family that she was a blind and lonely woman at home. Yun Niang was worried and wanted to come back and take care of her. During the busy farming period, she had to come back to get food for her. The rest was not needed. The husband's family agreed to get married.

Later, he changed his mind. Not only did he not allow his son-in-law to come to help Lao Shi work and get food, but he also deceived Yun Niang and said that he had given Lao Shi food to live. Yun Niang believed it, but in order not to go against his husband's intention, he did not dare to come back to visit Lao Shi. Lao Shi was a blind old woman. If... If it weren't for Lao Shi's family coming to help him often, the villagers in the village would not even beg for begging, and he would starve to death."

"Later, Yun Niang ran back to see Lao Shi, and Lao Shi didn't dare to let her know, for fear that she would have a conflict with her husband's family. The child had no father since childhood and was strong-willed. But she saw the child's carefulness and old body's situation and went back to ask the son-in-law. The mother-in-law also asked the son-in-law to beat her. At this time, Lao Shi realized that the mother-in-law, as long as Yun Niang was a little unsatisfied, she asked her son-in-law to beat my Yun Niang. She was beaten to death with scars all over her body. With Yun Niang's strong temperament, if it weren't for the old body's burden, I was afraid that life would have been too late."

Speaking of this, Wei Chi could basically guess the latter. With Yun Niang's temperament, she suffered all the torture and scolding in her husband's family, but in order to make her lonely and blind mother have a place to live, she could grit her teeth and endure it. But later she realized that her mother did not get food, and all the torture she suffered was in vain. The husband's family not only went back on their word and bullied them so much, but she was surprised that she was not angry. It would be no wonder that she would be divorced from her husband's family.

Aunt Guan said, "The mother and daughter were born with a miserable life, but the child was stubborn and unyielding since childhood. She was old and could not live for a few years. She was afraid that her temperament would suffer losses in the future and could not bear to drag her down again. For the sake of this lonely woman, she married a arrogant husband's family and suffered all the hardships. For the sake of this blind woman, she now wants to force a good child like Erhu. Her heart is cut into pieces and it is uncomfortable."

Wei Chi comforted her gentle words: "This is also Yun Niang's filial piety. If the aunt is unwilling, we can discuss it."

Aunt Guan said, "I don't want to drag Yun Niang down any more. I have been thinking about talking to the owner or wife of the mansion that I can get married, but I don't need to marry into a marriage. Now the boss of the mansion raises chickens and feeds pigs. I am a blind old woman. I can feed a few chickens and feed myself. I can't delay my Yun Niang anymore. Please ask the owner of the mansion to be sure, I pity my Yun Niang, and pity my lonely woman. I'm a mother-in-law, and I hope Yun Niang will live a good life. She is still young."

Seeing Aunt Guan wiped tears with sad faces on the side, Wei Chi also felt sad and was about to speak when a figure came over and supported Aunt Guan: "Mom, why are you here?"

But Yun Niang came. Wei Chi smiled and looked at her carefully, not looking at her face or her thin figure, but looking at her hands. People often say that you should see whether a person's life is good or not, and you can see it by looking at her hands.

At the age of 18 or 19, the sleeves may have been rolled up because they were doing housework just now. It was clearly visible that the scars on the arm seemed to be the scars left after being beaten by a whip. The palms of the hand should not be as gentle as young as young people, but rather they are terriblely rough. If the skin is not full, the skin still shows that it is a pair of young people's hands. If you only look at the hands of a middle-aged woman who has worked hard all year round.

Aunt Guan said, "It's nothing. When you meet the owner of the manor, tell the owner about your marriage with Erhu for your mother."

Yun Niang turned around and faced Wei Chi, blessed her blessing, and saluted: "The little woman has met the owner of the manor."

Wei Chi smiled and replied, "Auntie, come on as you said. Erhu, my family, has lost his parents since childhood, and grew up in the mountains with his brother. I dare not say anything else, but Erhu's character, Wei Chi, I, dare to pat my chest to guarantee that he will never treat you mother and daughter badly."

As soon as Wei Chi finished speaking, Yun Niang asked in a low voice: "Mom, what did you say to the owner of the manor?"

Aunt Guan said in a solemn voice: "Mom told the owner that Erhu doesn't need to marry into a marriage, you are marrying Erhu."

"But, Mom, Erhu has agreed to marry into the family..."

"Yun'er, do you want your husband to be looked down upon and pointed at by others in the future and will never be raised in his life?"

Yun Niang bit her lip, tears fell, she gritted her teeth, and said, "Mom, we won't marry anymore. Let's live with our mother and daughter. Feed chickens and pigs, and we won't starve us to death, okay?"

After saying that, Yun Niang suddenly knelt down at Wei Chi and said, "Master, Yun Niang is not ignorant of what he is. Second Hu brother is indeed a good person. If you live with him, Yun Niang knows that Second Hu brother will definitely cherish Yun Niang. However, Yun Niang is really worried about his old mother. When Aunt Liu came to the door to say kinship, Yun Niang said that our Guan family only accepted son-in-law, and originally wanted to force Second Hu brother to retreat. Who knew that he actually agreed. When Aunt Liu talked about it again, Yun Niang became selfish and agreed. But she was really nervous and felt sorry for Second Hu brother. She had been hesitating whether to make this marriage. Now, the owner of the house is coming just right. Please tell Second Hu brother, Yun Niang... I let him down. Yun Niang is sorry for him. This marriage should be given up!"

Wei Chi said in a harmonious voice: "Guan...uh, what are you going to call you? Miss Guan, please come up, I am a man, it is not convenient for you to help you, so let's get up and talk, okay? If you have any words or problems, as long as you are willing, there is nothing you can't solve. Can you still like my Erhu?"

Yun Niang stood up as she spoke, but she was asked by Wei Chi's question and her face turned red and stopped talking. Wei Chi smiled and said, "It seems that my silly boy from Erhu can still attract you."

"Brother Erhu is not a fool." Yun Niang retorted in a low voice. Wei Chi laughed loudly, and Aunt Guan also laughed with tears in her eyes, looking relieved.

Wei Chi smiled and said, "It seems that Lang has a love and a girl is interested, so everything will be easy. Mrs. Liu should have told you about the situation of Erhu in my family, right? Erhu only has one brother, no parents, their brothers were orphans since childhood and grew up in the mountains. And your family only has you mother and daughter. In fact, in my opinion, there is no difference between marriage or marriage. Erhu is not a person without a conscience, nor is he the kind of person who only cares about himself and watches his mother-in-law starve. Since customs and habits involve Erhu's change of surnames and family issues and Erhu's future face issues, can we discuss it?"

"If you marry Erhu, of course your mother must be supported by your young couple. This is the responsibility of your children and the duty. Although Erhu is a fool, he can do this duty. If you are still worried, my wife and I can come forward to make a guarantee. Erhu patted my chest and promised me that he would definitely support Aunt Guan like serving his biological mother."

Aunt Guan agreed: "Old man can trust the reputation of the owner and his wife, even without the guarantee of the two, he can trust the character of Erhu."

Wei Chi smiled and said modestly, and it seemed that Yun Niang was still hesitant, and she could understand it. Yun Niang can be said to be a weak woman who had been hurt by marriage. She was lonely since she was a child. It was already amazing and strong to accept Erhu with confidence. The reason why she asked Erhu to marry into a married woman was just a mentality of seeking a more reliable sense of security. It was not surprising, but it could be understood.

Wei Chi said patiently: "Miss Guan, this man lives in the world, sometimes he needs some face, whether it is forced by life or by the world, and he is a problem of being a face. As a couple, they live, accommodate each other, and are married, occasionally, they may suffer a little grievance and help the man with some face. There is nothing to do, but the facts need it. Of course, when you go home, how do you want to do it? That's the matter of the couple closed the door by themselves. As long as you two are willing, there is no room for others to talk to. Do we give some face outside? Uh... I say this, do you... understand?"

Yun Niang nodded and said, "What the owner of the manor said, the little girl understands. As long as Erhu brother will not treat my mother badly, the little girl... the little girl..."

After saying the words, he blushed and lowered his head, and made Wei Chi laugh, while Aunt Guan held his daughter's hand and wiped her tears frequently.

Wei Chi said: "Since I've made up my mind, then Aunt Guan, you mother and daughter, will go back first. I'll tell Erhu that for that stupid boy, there's no problem with getting married, and I'll just be silly happy. Also, I'll find someone to find a good day tomorrow and send the betrothal gifts, and I'll leave first."

Wei Chi waved his hand and went home with a smile. Unexpectedly, because of the fun, he followed Erhu to see him fall in love, but he also learned a lot of hidden things. He accidentally solved the thoughts of an unfortunate mother and daughter. In this way, Erhu would not have to suffer any grievances. However, the Guan family's mother and daughter are really in trouble and have lived too many hard life. They should instruct Erhu to treat others well, otherwise they would ask Dahu to chop him.
