I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food
Chapter 97: Aunt Zhao's Story
"Sister Zhao, why are you here?"
It was during the afternoon break when a woman stood at the door of the shop with a smile on her face. Lou Yuexin was very surprised when she saw her and hurried to greet her.
"I came to talk to you."
When everyone heard Lou Yuexin's address, they understood this person's identity, nodded to each other, and made room for the two.
Although the two families have dealings with each other, they do not interact as much as they do with other people.
Before Xu Silin entered the backyard, he couldn't help but look back at her again.
This was her first time meeting Aunt Zhao in person, and she was not exactly what she had imagined.
She thought he would look like someone who is not easy to mess with, so that he could support the family, but she didn't expect him to look so weak.
Because there was a man in the family and Aunt Zhao was a widow, in order to avoid gossip from others, she seldom went out. Usually, Lou Yuexin would go to her house to visit.
Without strong labor, life is very difficult for orphans and widows, and they also have to support their children's education, which is another huge expense.
Even so, Aunt Zhao was very polite. Every time they sent holiday gifts, the other party would give something in return.
For example, homemade sauerkraut and pickled duck eggs, although not worth much, are also a token of someone’s thoughtfulness.
Xu Si felt that not much time had passed before Lou Yuexin returned to the backyard with a melancholy look on her face.
She asked with concern, "Is there anything bothering you?"
"I'm fine. Our family is doing well now. I just feel a little sad for you, Aunt Zhao."
"What's wrong? Do you need our help?"
Lou Yuexin shook her head, "Speaking of her, it was fate that played tricks on her.
As the daughter of a scholar, although she was not brought up as a lady like those in officials' families, she was literate, dexterous, gentle and charming.
She was an only child and her family was well off. She was well-known in the whole neighborhood and matchmakers were lining up to marry her.
Her father had already chosen a husband for her, who was his favorite student. He had already passed the provincial examination and would become a scholar if he passed the academy examination. And based on his grades, the scholar title was basically a foregone conclusion.
A student, a daughter. Naturally, the two had met before, and the man was very satisfied with her.
But she fell in love with a poor, fatherless and motherless embroidery workshop worker.
She usually made some embroidery and sold it, and that’s how she got to know the other person. After a few interactions, they fell in love.
Her family members just thought she was going to sell embroidery, but actually she was going to meet someone.
When her family mentioned her marriage, she told them everything.
Naturally, her family disagreed, but she, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, went on a hunger strike for the first time in her life to protest.
The man also knelt in front of her house for a day and a night, vowing to treat her well, which caused a lot of uproar.
When it came to this, her family had no choice but to agree. She disobeyed her parents and taught the child secretly. Her parents refused to forgive her and treated her as if they had never had a daughter. She did not even attend her wedding.
Just like that, she lived in a rented house, without even a sedan chair, and got married with just a veil.
They had a wonderful time at the beginning of their marriage. The man was very caring towards her and didn't let her do anything. He even did the laundry.
Later, the man found out that Aunt Zhao’s family really didn’t care at all, and his true colors began to show.
She was asked to do embroidery to earn money, and she got drunk and beat people up, and she quit her job to gamble. Because of her determination before getting married, your Aunt Zhao did not dare to ask her family for help. "
Xu Si didn't expect that Aunt Zhao was actually a love-brained person.
A good hand of cards was turned into a bad one.
You can tell at a glance that you can't marry him. He's obviously a Phoenix Man. If he really wanted to do good for her, he would have come to propose marriage a long time ago. Why would he put all the pressure on her?
It became known to everyone and brought shame to the family. This was especially important to scholars, and her father must have been very angry at the time.
Even if you don't have money, you still have to have the necessary ceremony. Just a veil, anyone who hears it will be dazed.
So, you don’t have to marry someone your parents approve of, but you definitely shouldn’t marry someone your parents don’t approve of.
This man commits domestic violence and gambles, both of which are huge troubles in marriage.
Maybe it was because I was protected too well by my family, and I never expected that human nature could be so vicious.
"What then?"
"Later, they had a child, and the man restrained himself for a while, but then he reverted to his old ways."
Xu Si curled his lips and said, "Of course not. A dog will always eat shit. Besides, once you get addicted to gambling, you may not be able to quit even if you lose a layer of skin."
Lou Yuexin continued, "In the third year after the marriage, when the child was just one year old, the man finally won 100 taels.
In his joy, he got drunk, fell into the river and drowned.”
Xu Si couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Huh? So sudden? This death is a bit outrageous, it can be regarded as retribution.
"After that, your Aunt Zhao used the money to buy the house we have now. She usually does some embroidery and slowly raises her children."
Hearing this, I finally felt relieved. It was finally of some use. At least I left some money before I died.
But it can't make up for it, after all, he ruined Aunt Zhao's life.
"By the way, how's the kid?"
It is said that some evil genes can be inherited. It would be too tragic if such a thing really happened to you.
Lou Yuexin recalled, "I went to her house a few times and she looked very honest, but she didn't do things in a very organized way."
To put it nicely, it means that I have no rules, but in fact, I am just a bit stupid.
Xu Si suddenly thought of something, "What about that man? He's the one her father originally wanted her to marry."
"It is said that after he passed the imperial examination, he got married through a matchmaker, and later he passed the imperial examination again.
There happened to be a vacancy, so he was sent out to serve as a county magistrate, and only came back every year to worship his ancestors."
These are what Sister Zhao told her. Perhaps she was a little unwilling, so she secretly inquired about the other party's news. I don't know how she felt about it.
Xu Si thought that according to the normal plot, this man would never marry, and after Aunt Zhao raised the child and the child became a successful person, the two would meet and eventually become a couple.
Sure enough, this was not a novel. She was shocked. It sounded so complicated that she thought she had actually traveled to a novel. Aunt Zhao was the heroine and her name could be "After becoming a widow, the county magistrate attacked with force."
It seems that she is overthinking.
After listening for so long, Shen Anyi asked the most crucial question, "Then why did she come to see you?"
Lou Yuexin had a complicated expression, "Ever since her husband died, her family felt sorry for her and restored their relationship.
Her son has been studying with his father and is now 18 years old, but he has not passed the county exam yet. "
The Tongsheng examination consists of three sessions: the county examination, the prefectural examination and the academy examination. Only after passing the examination can one obtain the qualification of a scholar.
People are different. Bai Yuqing was only 18 years old, but he had already passed the imperial examination.
After listening to Lou Yuexin's words, Xu Si felt that the child might have a talent deficiency.
"Without work, he can't study and it's hard to get married, so she was very conflicted about whether to let her son continue his studies."
"Then what do you say?" Shen Anyi frowned when he heard this.
"I didn't give her any advice. I just told her to think about it herself."
"Mom did the right thing." Xu Si praised.
Don't give advice casually, respect other people's fate.
Otherwise, if she gets involved, the other party might regret it later and even blame her.
