Divorce the bad husband, store grain fields, and marry the emperor's uncle for the second time
Chapter 87: Zhou Maoxun goes to Xia Xiaorou's house to propose marriage, and the bamboo whip wh
"Don't consider it. Sister, I can't possibly like cousin Zhou, and I will never marry him." Xia Xiaorou shook her head and said, "When I talk to him, I just treat him as my cousin, and I don't have the slightest bit of love for him."
Xia Xiaoying frowned, "If you don't like cousin Zhou, then you should find a man to live a good life with. Don't be like me, wasting your life in a muddle. I didn't have a mother to teach me, so my life was miserable, but you have me, and I can't let you follow my old path."
Xia Xiaorou lowered her head and looked at her belly. "Sister, I want to save some money first, enough for the two of us and Da Ni and Er Ni to live on, and then I'll think about other things."
"Xiao Rou!" Xia Xiaoying shook her head in disapproval, "Women should marry while they are still young."
Xia Xiaorou grabbed Xia Xiaoying's arm and said, "Sister, I'm tired now and want to rest for a while. Please help me meet cousin Zhou and tell him that I have something to do."
Xia Xiaoying frowned, "You."
But her sister insisted on her own idea, so Xia Xiaoying had to go out of the house with a crutch.
Her leg was injured, but she couldn't stay in bed all the time, so Doctor Chen made her a pair of crutches so that she could go to the toilet and take care of her two young daughters.
Zhou Maoxun saw Xia Xiaoying coming out of the house and hurried over. "Xiaoying, where is your sister Xiaorou?" He handed over the hen in his hand and said, "I caught this chicken from the chicken coop at home to nourish Xiaorou."
Xia Xiaoying sighed in her heart, thinking that she would also be happy for Xia Xiaorou to marry Zhou Maoxun, but Xia Xiaorou didn't want to get married now, so what could she do?
"Xiaorou...she has something to do. Can you come back another day?" Xia Xiaoying refused to accept Zhou Maoxun's chicken and waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't accept things. This is not good."
Without Xia Xiaorou's permission, she would never dare to accept it.
Zhou Maoxun insisted on sending it, but was still rejected by Xia Xiaoying.
"Okay then, I'll come back another day." Zhou Maoxun glanced at the house where Xia Xiaorou lived, then left awkwardly carrying the old hen.
Song Yanbai and Chu Xianyun looked at each other, and Chu Xianyun pushed Song Yanbai.
Song Yanbai immediately chased after Zhou Maoxun.
"Brother Zhou!" Song Yanbai looked back in the direction of the house they lived in, pulled Zhou Maoxun further away, and whispered, "You are so stupid."
Zhou Maoxun blinked, "Brother Yanbai?"
Song Yanbai patted Zhou Maoxun on the shoulder, "Do you like Xiaorou?"
Zhou Maoxun nodded with an embarrassed look on his face, "But she doesn't seem to like me."
"You, what's the point of just looking for her? Why don't you just bring a matchmaker? To show your sincerity?"
Zhou Maoxun opened his eyes wide. That's right. Why didn't he think of this? "
"Thank you Brother Yanbai for the reminder. I know what to do." Zhou Maoxun shook Song Yanbai's hand, changed his dejected expression, and walked home quickly.

The next morning, Xia Xiaorou and her friends had just finished breakfast and were discussing today's work arrangements when Zhou Maoxun came again.
This time, he also brought a matchmaker with him.
As soon as the matchmaker entered the room, he smiled and congratulated Xia Xiaorou, "Congratulations, madam. Congratulations, madam. The young man from the Zhou family has proposed to you. May you live happily ever after."
Xia Xiaoying hurriedly called out to her two daughters, "Da Ni and Er Ni, hurry up and call Uncle Zhou."
The two children looked at Zhou Maoxun and called out "Uncle Zhou" in a crisp voice.
Song Yanbai and Chu Xianyun also looked delighted. One moved a chair and the other poured tea, and they welcomed the matchmaker and Zhou Maoxun into the house.
Only Xia Xiaorou looked at everyone with a gloomy face, "What are you doing? I haven't agreed yet."
The matchmaker was startled, but still smiled professionally and pushed Zhou Maoxun in front of Xia Xiaorou. "Brother Zhou is good-looking, good at hunting, and caring. What else is there for the lady to be dissatisfied with?"
Xia Xiaorou sighed slightly in her heart. If it was three years earlier, she would have agreed to Zhou Maoxun, but now...
She no longer wants to find a man to marry.
"Cousin Zhou, you are good at everything, but..."
"But what? Xiaorou, tell me and I will change it." Zhou Maoxun said anxiously.
"It's too late." Xia Xiaorou shook her head, "I don't want to get married now, go back and find a better girl."
After saying that, she went into her bedroom and closed the door.
"Xiao Rou? What are you doing?" Xia Xiaoying walked over and knocked on the door.
But Xia Xiaorou refused to open the door no matter what.
Sitting in the room, looking at myself in the mirror silently.
Three years ago, before she was forced to get married by the Xia family, she had a little fantasy of marrying Zhou Maoxun.
But when Aunt Xia found out that Zhou Maoxun was being nice to her, she implicitly scolded her for being a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, and said that she was not even worthy of carrying Zhou Maoxun's shoes.
She did not reject the Song family because she was disliked by Aunt Xia and because she was young and had no place to stand in the family.
But three years have passed, and the little bit of good impression I had for Zhou Maoxun has long since disappeared.
Zhou Maoxun could only be her cousin, she couldn't turn him into her husband.
Song Yanbai and Chu Xianyun also came to call Xia Xiaorou to open the door, but when she failed, they came to comfort Zhou Maoxun.
Zhou Maoxun looked at the tightly closed door and smiled awkwardly, "I should let Xiaorou think about it more. I'll come back in a few days."
He nodded to the matchmaker and left with a lonely look.
"Yes, yes, yes, let's come back another day." The matchmaker, who didn't want to miss a marriage, had to leave.
As soon as they left, Xia Xiaorou opened the door, looked at everyone and said with a sullen face, "I don't want to marry Cousin Zhou, so don't get involved."
"Xiao Rou, how can you not get married?" Xia Xiaoying looked worried.
"Sister, didn't I tell you yesterday? I'll talk about it after I make some money." Xia Xiaorou looked at everyone with a firm tone, "I'll take this opportunity to say it out loud. I don't want to get married! It doesn't matter who proposes!"
When she got married for the first time, she was despised by Song Wenshan.
Now she is a divorced woman, how many people will treat her sincerely?
I am afraid that if I marry her, she will bring me all kinds of humiliation in the future.
Even if the man does not humiliate her, the parents-in-law and sister-in-law will humiliate her.
She doesn't want to humiliate herself!
After Xia Xiaorou finished speaking, she returned to her bedroom.
Xia Xiaoying, Song Yanbai, and Chu Xianyun looked at each other. Although they did not agree with Xia Xiaorou's idea in their hearts, she was angry at the moment, so no one said anything.
Let's wait and see.
-
Zhou Maoxun brought a matchmaker to Xia Xiaorou's home to propose marriage, which caused a sensation in the whole village.
Some people envied Xia Xiaorou, saying that she was a divorced woman, but still had young men proposing to her. Although Zhou Maoxun was not as good a student as Song Wenshan, he could hunt, was tall, hardworking, and had a good temper. He was a rare good husband.
Others said that Xia Xiaorou was not a good match for the man and was too shameless. A divorced woman actually got attached to Zhou Maoxun, a young man who had never been married. She was really shameless.
Song Liu would not miss this opportunity. She belittled Xia Xiaorou and called her a slut who was foolish enough to dream of marrying Zhou Maoxun.
Soon, the news reached the ears of Zhou Maoxun's mother, Zhou Xia.
Zhou Xia has always disliked Xia Xiaorou's mother and Xia Xiaorou because Xia Xiaorou's mother did not do farm work and was supported by Xia Dequan just because of her charming face.
When he heard the news, he was even more furious.
He cursed Zhou Maoxun fiercely, "If you dare to marry that woman, I will die right now!"
Not satisfied with scolding his son, he ran to Xia Xiaorou's house to scold her again.
"Xia Xiaorou, come out here! I know you are at home, don't hide! You shameless vixen, the Song family doesn't want you, so you rely on my son? Why should my family want you when other families don't want you? Bah, don't you look in the mirror and see your own virtue! A woman like you can only be worthy of an old widower, don't even think about marrying a young man!"
Xia Xiaoying was so angry that she was shaking all over. She went out to argue with her, "Aunt, Xiaorou calls you aunt, how can you scold her like that?"
"Who cares if she calls me aunt? Oh, you were divorced by your husband too? Haha, both of you sisters are abandoned by your husband, you are really born of the same mother." Zhou Xia rolled her eyes, "You two should just marry old widower."
Song Yanbai and Chu Xianyun were also very angry, but they were no match for Zhou Xia, and both of them were scolded so hard that they couldn't fight back.
Xia Xiaorou was taking pregnancy-preserving medicine in the kitchen. When she heard Zhou Xia scolding, she gently put down the medicine bowl, patted her sleeves and walked out of the kitchen.
Just as she was about to teach Zhou Xia a lesson, Zhu Yun came on horseback.
Seeing Zhou Xia scolding Xia Xiaorou, Zhu Yun shook the horse whip in her hand and whipped her fiercely, "Watch your mouth! If you dare to say that Madam Xia married a widower, I'll whip you to death!"
