Lu Changning looked at the picture of the manly and decisive father Gu, who was now stiffly held in the arms of his daughter-in-law who was even more heroic than him. Father Gu was stiff and struggling to escape. But the heroine seemed not to notice the embarrassment of Father Gu, and held him with both arms, not giving him any chance to fall.

Even though Father Gu tried his best to cover his face with his hands, he still couldn't completely hide the face that was covered in blue and red and full of embarrassment.

Hahahaha, how could Father Gu, who has been the head of the family all his life, tolerate himself in this state, and being watched by the whole village. I heard that he is so angry that he can't even eat.

"It's wonderful, I know it's right to come to Wangshui Village. Where else can you see such interesting scenes?"

Xiao Hong was also amused by what happened in the Gu family in the past few days: "This is not over yet! Today is the big day for the two new brides to return home, and the Gu family was noisy again this morning."

The bride's return home was a big deal. Early in the morning, Gu Laoda and his wife packed up and set off early with the gifts they had prepared.

Look at Gu Laoer again, he was still lingering in the room when Gu Laoda left! After Gu Laoda left, Laoer got up slowly and looked at his wife standing in front of him. Gu Laoer's face was like an eggplant hit by frost, wilting.

After finishing his breakfast slowly, looking at his pale-faced mother, and then at his father who was lying on the bed with his waist twisted and unable to move, Gu Laoer's filial piety suddenly burst out at this moment.

With tears in her eyes and a look of reluctance on her face, she stood by Gu's father's bed holding breakfast and looking attentively at him.

"Dad, please eat at least one bite! Or should I feed you?"

Father Gu looked at his second son in front of him with a dark face. This well-known lazy guy with no life in his eyes, when has he ever been so proactive in caring about his parents? It’s just that he doesn’t want to go to his father-in-law’s house and use him as a cover!

Don’t you see who has caused him to become like this? In the final analysis, it’s all because of this stinky son.

Father Gu became more and more angry as he watched, and he stretched out his hand to slap the boy for being so shameless. However, he was lying in the wrong position, and he had not eaten for several meals, so he had no strength in his hands, and the slap was not as strong as it should have been, and it went sideways.

He slapped someone, but not only did he not hit anyone, his second son grabbed his wrist instead.

This rebellious son! Father Gu's face became even uglier with anger.

When Gu Laoer saw his father's ugly face, how could he not know the reason? But he didn't care about all that. He grabbed his father's wrist and started crying, shouting "Dad", and declared that he would not go anywhere today and would show filial piety to his father.

Father Gu was so angry that he wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, his second son covered his head and started crying. He couldn't say anything. Father Gu was so angry that his eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.

Mother Gu, holding her son's butt that was injured yesterday, came to the room tremblingly. What she saw was such a loving father and filial son. She was so moved that she burst into tears.

"My second son has been filial since he was young. Seeing his father lying in bed, how could he leave with peace of mind? Daughter-in-law, you can go alone this time. I believe that my father-in-law can understand our family's situation."

The heroine didn't know whether her parents could understand her, she only knew that they couldn't understand: "Mother, don't worry about this. I will find a way to persuade Erlang."

Erlang is crying so sadly, how are you going to persuade him?

Just as Gu's mother was about to stop them, she saw the heroine walk into the room and glance at her father-in-law, whose face was dark. He did look sick, but he was far from dying. The heroine stepped forward and pulled Gu Er, lowering her voice and saying softly, "Erlang, with mother taking care of him, Dad will be fine. Let's set off!"

This sentence, like a drop of water in a boiling oil pan, instantly ignited Erlang's anger. He stood up and yelled at the heroine: "It's because of marrying you that my family has become like this. Now my mother is injured and my father is bedridden. You want me to go to your house? Dream on. I tell you, I'm not going anywhere today unless you beat me to death."

The heroine did not speak, but looked at her husband tenderly. She slowly raised her arm. With a muffled groan, Gu Er lost control of his body and fell down. He was grabbed by the heroine and carried on her shoulders.

"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine for punishment, and you have to be slapped in the face to stop me."

The heroine muttered, and when she looked up, she saw her husband's parents looking at her with a horrified expression. She felt something was wrong for a moment, and then smiled: "My husband may not have had a good rest last night, so he fell asleep. Your daughter-in-law will take him back home and will be back early tonight."

Mother Gu was so frightened that her legs were shaking. She had never been so frightened before when she saw the butchers slaughtering pigs in the village. But now, facing her daughter-in-law, she felt scared for the first time: "Well, it's okay for you to come back later."

The heroine carried things in one hand and carried her husband on the other shoulder, walking towards her parents' home.

Lu Changning was stunned when he saw this scene: "Xiaohong, this heroine is too amazing. Is this world really just a simple farming story? It can't be a story about cultivating immortals!"

This little red confirmed: "Don't worry, this is definitely a farming story. The heroine is just a little stronger than others and a little older, but she is a real mortal."

This is a mortal. How can a mortal carry a person as easily as a kitten or a puppy? He can even carry a person to climb a mountain without blushing or getting nervous. This is too scary!

However, there is one thing that makes Lu Changning very curious, that is, the attitude of the Gu family towards the heroine. From various details and plots, it can be clearly seen that the Gu family does not seem to attach importance to the heroine, and even despises her. Even the heroine's husband, Gu Er, has an evasive and alienated attitude towards her. This is really puzzling. If the Gu family really doesn't like the heroine, why did they let the two get married in the first place? Is there any unknown secret or hardship hidden in it? Or is this marriage itself a conspiracy to exchange power and interests?

Xiaohong has something to say about this.

"There's another melon in here, and it's a big one!"

It turned out that before An Zhu went to the Lu family, Gu Er had already developed a secret crush on a rich girl.

Gu Er is fair-skinned and has read some books in recent years. He looks like a scholar who values ​​love and friendship in operas. The rich girl yearns for a beautiful love and slowly gets together with Gu Er.

Although there were restrictions on women in this dynasty, they were not so many. The two often went out together, and their feelings grew stronger as they spent time together. Gradually, they began to plan to get married.

So, the two elders of the Gu family went to propose marriage with sincerity. However, how could the parents of the rich girl be willing to marry their daughter to the poor Gu family? Not to mention that the Gu family has five children, the rich family looked down on the two of them. After asking around, they also heard some stories about the two of them.

But the rich girl couldn't bear to leave Gu Er, she cried, made a scene and even hanged herself at home. Her parents still loved her, and after much deliberation, they finally gave her two solutions. One was to let Gu Erlang marry into the family, and the other was to give her 200 taels of betrothal money.

Asking for two hundred taels, isn't this a plan to kill the Gu family? They felt it would be embarrassing to let their son marry into the family. But they were reluctant to give up the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family. That was a merchant, richer than the landlords in the village. As long as they married their daughter to the merchant, the money leaked out of their hands could make the Gu family turn around in an instant. In addition to the second son, the Gu family still had three half-grown boys waiting to get married, so they couldn't let this big fish go.

But two hundred taels is not a small amount. Even if the Gu family took out all their savings over the years, they would still be far behind. After much deliberation, the Gu family's parents set their sights on their twelve-year-old daughter. This girl has grown up so much, it's time for her to give back to her family.

Fortunately, they met the Lu family, who were rich and easy to talk to. Father Lu gave them 400 taels directly, which not only made the Gu family a well-off family, but also provided enough money for the second son to marry. The Gu family was very happy, and they were busy preparing for the second son to marry.

However, when the Gu family took a betrothal gift of two hundred taels to the rich family to propose marriage, they found that this family was ungrateful and had actually arranged a marriage for the rich girl without their knowledge, and now the wedding date is approaching.

This made Gu's father and mother very angry. They sat at the door of the rich family's house and started to throw a tantrum, saying that this family had no integrity and that such a big business would go bankrupt sooner or later.

The rich man was not one to be trifled with, and he reported the case to the police immediately. The couple who were making trouble in front of the door were soon arrested together.

Seeing that his parents who went to propose marriage had not returned for a long time, Gu Laoer had no choice but to go and look for them by himself.

But he found that his parents were imprisoned by the rich man.

Gu Laoer didn't understand. Why did his family go back on their word when they had clearly agreed on something? He and the young lady were clearly in love. He didn't want to believe that the young lady had voluntarily abandoned him. He felt that it must have been forced by her parents. Gu Er was clamoring at the door to see the young lady again.

However, he did not meet the young lady, but met her parents.

"Humph, do you think we value the two hundred taels? What we value is the heart of your family! We want to see if you are really sincere in wanting to marry our daughter, and whether you will really treat her well after she marries you."

Gu Erlang immediately expressed his opinion: "Our family is really sincere in seeking you. After you put forward your request, we will use all our family's strength to raise the betrothal money. When the young lady marries, we will treat her like a pearl and a treasure."

The rich man raised his hand to stop Gu Erlang from continuing, "Humph, the whole family's strength, whether it is the whole family's strength or your sister's strength, you Gu family know it in your heart. For the sake of your son's marriage, you can even sell your own daughter, our daughter will not marry into such a family!"

"Uncle, we are not selling our daughter, we are marrying off our daughter."

"Bah, marrying her off or selling her off? As a merchant, how can I not understand? What kind of family is the Lu family? Do you think I don't know? You Gu family are so ruthless. You treat your own daughter like this, how can you be any better to your daughter-in-law! If my daughter really marries into your family, for the sake of your brothers, will you sell my daughter too?"

Gu Erlang wanted to argue, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only say dryly that he would be nice to the young lady.

However, his words did not impress the rich man, and he couldn't even save his parents.

Just when Gu Erlang was in despair and didn't know what to do, the rich man came to the prison himself, looked at Gu's father and mother inside, and sneered.

"The third day of next month is a good day. It's the day my daughter gets married. I don't want to see your son have anything to do with my daughter again. Do you understand?"

Gu's father and mother looked at each other, neither of them understood what the rich man meant.

The rich man took a glance and could only speak frankly: "Before my daughter gets married, you have to finalize Gu Er's marriage! His wedding date must be earlier than my daughter's."

"What? There's still a month left? How can this be possible?"

The rich man ignored Gu's mother's protest and said, "If you want your family to be reunited in prison, I can certainly help you, but if you want to go home, you should find your son Erlang a date as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Gu's parents came out of the prison tremblingly, supporting each other. They looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The time was really too tight. How could any good family's parents be willing to have such a hasty marriage? Their family had no money or power. It was really difficult to find a suitable match in such a short time.

It just so happened that someone in the village introduced that there was a girl from a family in the village on the other side of the mountain who might be willing to marry.

When Gu's father and mother heard this, they hurried over to find out.

This family is the heroine. There are many children in the heroine's family, but unfortunately her parents are sick and weak, and her brothers are all sickly. As the third child, the heroine can only support the family. She has been strong since she was a child, and now, seeing her younger brothers and sisters grow up, the heroine agreed to discuss marriage.

However, the heroine is already old at this time, and because she has been doing physical work since she was a child, she has developed a lot of muscles, which always scares people who see her. The heroine is ready to never get married.

But at this moment, people from the Gu family came.

The heroine didn't know what happened to the Gu family, but she had heard from others that this family had a history of selling their daughter, and the girl's life in his home was not easy.

The heroine was originally very conflicted, but her eldest brother had already started to discuss marriage, and it was rare for a girl to be willing to marry into their family, so she was naturally happy. But for some reason, this future sister-in-law was very repulsive to her younger sister. Her second brother was also about to discuss marriage, and the younger brothers and sisters below still had to eat. Each of these required money.

The heroine thought about it and mentioned a dowry amount that she thought was very high, but she didn't expect the Gu family to agree to it.

The heroine sighed lightly and said, "Then get married!"

So, this is how the plot unfolds.
