As soon as he finished speaking, a tall middle-aged man walked out.

The village chief turned around and looked at his youngest son in confusion, "Agui, why did you come out?"

Ever since that incident, his youngest son has become depressed, taciturn, rarely talks to others, let alone getting married and having children. The father's heart is broken. His good son has become like this because of Meng Lan and her family.

He Dazhu has only two sons. He doesn't have to worry about his eldest son, but he is very worried about his younger son.

His youngest son, He Gui, was tall and handsome, and had a solid skill. Many girls in the village dreamed of marrying He Gui.

But his youngest son was so short-sighted that he fell in love with He Sanhua, the third daughter of He Laoliu.

At that time, the eldest son had just been married for a few years, and the eldest daughter-in-law became pregnant right after she got married, and the family didn't have much money.

When he first went to see Meng Lan, she said that no one could marry He Sanhua unless they paid ten taels of silver. But at that time, their family simply couldn't afford that much money.

But later He Gui went to find Meng Lan again and assured the old lady:

One year, just give him one year. Even if he worked himself to the point of bleeding and sweating, he would definitely find a way to save up ten taels of silver and marry He Sanhua in style.

However, just when He Gui was working day and night to make money.

Meng Lan immediately accepted the fifteen taels of silver from Mr. Bu and sent He Sanhua to the Bu family as a concubine.

So many years have passed, but He Dazhu still remembers the scene that day.

It was noon that day and the sun was shining brightly.

When He Gui, who was making bricks, heard that Meng Lan had betrothed He Sanhua to Mr. Bu, he became so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

He was so scared that he immediately called the village doctor over, and the boy's mother stayed by his side day and night for three days and three nights before He Gui finally woke up.

After waking up, he happened to see He Sanhua getting married.

When He Gui heard the news, he got up from his bed, ran barefoot to the town without even putting on his shoes, and found out where Mr. Bu was.

As expected, the house was decorated with lights and colors, and there was going to be a wedding today.

He Gui hurried back, wanting to kidnap He Sanhua before the wedding party arrived at the Bu family.

Yes, he wants to steal the bride.

The world is so big, there must be room for both of them!

As long as Sanhua doesn't marry into the Bu family and become a concubine, everything will be possible. He wants to take Sanhua away. He has skills and Sanhua is hardworking. It may be difficult at the beginning, but it will get better in the future.

After waiting for a while on the street near the side door of the Bu family, He Gui indeed saw the wedding procession with music and drums.

He stared at the pink sedan being carried by the bearers.

The three flowers that he held so dear to his heart were actually ruined by them like this.

He must take Sanhua away today, and in the future he will make her wear a bright red wedding dress and a bright red veil, and become his legally married wife.

Instead of being a concubine without dignity to an old man who could be her father...

He Gui rushed forward and fought with the team. However, he had not recovered yet and was outnumbered. When He Dazhu and his wife rushed over, they saw He Gui curled up on the ground with a bruised face.

That was also the first time He Dazhu saw his youngest son cry.

He remembered that when He Gui was a child, he accidentally cut his hand while harvesting wheat. The long cut kept bleeding, and the skin turned inside out, revealing the flesh inside.

Even so, he had never seen He Gui shed a tear.

That day, He Gui's soles were all worn out, and his body and face were covered with wounds from being beaten, but he didn't feel the pain at all. No matter how painful it was, it would not be as painful as he felt.

He Dazhu first found a doctor in the town to treat He Gui's wounds, and then rented a car to take him home.

He Gui didn't make any noise during the whole journey, as if his soul had been taken away. He Dazhu and his wife didn't dare to speak either, for fear of upsetting their son.

After He Gui returned to Daquan Village, he locked himself up and went without eating or drinking for another day.

Until He Dazhui's wife, He Gui's mother, felt sorry for her son and was extremely angry, but could do nothing. So she cursed the sky, the earth, Meng Lan, He Laoliu, and the official in the yard... When she finally cursed He Sanhua as a vixen who had seduced her son's soul, He Gui's door opened with a "click".

Before He Gui's mother had time to be happy, He Gui said something.

He Gui said to her mother, "Mom, don't blame Sanhua, this is not her fault."

Her son finally agreed to talk to her. No matter what they said, He Gui's mother nodded and listened, "Okay, Agui, I'll listen to you and won't talk about her anymore."

"Mom, this is my fault." He Gui's next words were shocking. When he said this, a crack finally appeared on his numb face. He said.

"I'm incompetent..."

After saying this, He Gui became deflated, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and he no longer had the spirit he once had.

The days that followed seemed normal, but they could never go back to normal.

The words "Sanhua" and "daughter-in-law" became taboos in He Gui's family. He Dazhu and his wife never dared to mention them in front of He Gui for all these years.

Now Sanhua’s mother and her brothers actually dare to come to their house?

If it weren't for the friendship between fellow villagers and for the sake of the deceased He Laoliu, he really wanted to beat the two men out.

But now that his son has spoken, what else can he do... Of course he should obey.

It's just a business anyway. It won't hurt their families and you can make some money.

"Cough-cough-"

He Dazhu coughed a few times, cleared his throat, adjusted his facial expression, and looked at Meng Lan deeply.

This old woman was lucky enough to get help from He Sanhua today. Ever since He Sanhua went to town, no one could get her to come out of her house to see her.

"Okay, we are from the same village. Since you want to buy it, I will sell it to you," said the village chief He Dazhui.

Seeing such a big change in the village chief He Dazhu, Meng Lan certainly knew why.

She looked up at He Gui, who almost became her third son-in-law. He had dark skin but strong features, a sturdy body and a broad back. One could tell at a glance that this man was capable.

The original person was really blind to let such a good guy go.

But he hasn’t married for so many years, I don’t know if it’s because he still has his daughter Sanhua in his heart.

If she waited until she brought He Sanhua back from the Bu family, they could still...

This can be considered as her atonement for her original sins.

Let's think about the future later, the focus now is to live well in the present. When the new house is built and she has more money, she can go to the Bu family to pick up Sanhua first, and then go to the Gou family to pick up Dahua.

"Aunt, are you going to build a new house?"

Ever since He Sanhua went to town, He Gui became depressed and no longer paid attention to Meng Lan's family. So when he heard that they were going to build a new house, he was a little curious.

It was unknown when He Gui walked in front of Meng Lan, and the tone of his voice sounded as if he was talking about the good weather today.

Meng Lan couldn't help but look at He Gui in confusion at his kind and approachable attitude.

She didn't hide it from him. After all, they lived in the same village. Even if she didn't say anything, the villagers would know it sooner or later. If the rumors were distorted, it would be better for her, his mother, to say it herself.

"Yes, Erhua's husband treated her badly, beat her and found another woman. I just brought her and my granddaughter home two days ago. The old house at home is also broken, so I thought of building a few new ones."

"Brother Agui, I discovered the affair of my second brother-in-law, bah, my former second brother-in-law. I beat that grandson from the beginning to the end of the street, and beat him so hard that his own mother couldn't recognize him. If he dares to treat my sister badly, I must teach him a lesson!"

He Tianci, who was following behind Meng Lan, raised his head when he said this. It was he who brought the person back.

But they didn't notice that He Gui's originally steady breathing suddenly choked after hearing Meng Lan's words.
