The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband
Chapter 8 Marry an old man?
After dinner, Zhao Xiuwen went back to the academy in town. The house was old and shabby, and the bed was not as comfortable as the one in the academy. If it weren't for the money, he wouldn't want to come back.
Besides, it's only twenty taels of silver. When he passes the imperial examination and marries a rich lady, won't the whole family enjoy the happiness with him? It's really short-sighted.
Zhao's father and mother considered all the relatives and finally decided to look for Zhao Qi.
When Wang Yongan and Zhao Ye were engaged, the Wang family didn't have much money. There was only a widowed mother and a younger sister in the family. Wang's mother was attracted by Zhao Ye's ability and wanted to marry her to take care of the household.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi and Zhao Ye fell into the water together, Zhao Ye was exposed, and Wang Yongan broke off the engagement and married Zhao Qi.
At that time, the old couple had no intention of marrying Zhao Qi to Wang Yongan, but they could not bear Zhao Qi's nagging. Who would have thought that Wang Yongan would pass the imperial examination and become a scholar last year.
Zhao Qi suddenly became a scholar's husband, and people around him only spoke well of Zhao Qi, and even belittled Zhao Ye as if he were nothing.
Unexpectedly, Zhao's mother didn't borrow any money, but instead brought back a marriage proposal.
There was a family in the town who wanted to marry a concubine. The family ran a tofu shop in the town. The man was in his fifties, had a wife and three sons, but he was a lustful person.
Over the years, the first wife has also let things go and is thinking of finding him a younger brother. She says she wants to marry a younger brother, but in fact, she is looking for a servant who will work like a cow or a horse.
However, he was willing to give fifteen taels of silver as a betrothal gift, which was actually equivalent to buying it. After all, the maximum betrothal gift for marrying a girl in the village was only five taels of silver.
But Zhao's father and mother were tempted. With the fifteen taels of silver, if they borrowed some from relatives, they could become a scholar by studying literature.
These past two days, Zhao Ye has been making shoes at Baoger's house whenever he has time. Zhao Ye and Feng Bao grew up together, and after that incident, Feng Bao has remained the same to Zhao Ye.
Whenever Feng Bao heard someone gossiping about Zhao Ye, he would jump out and start cursing at them.
"Brother Ye, you make shoes for him, and you know how big his feet are. How about you two?" Feng Bao teased Zhao Ye with a wink.
"I don't know, I just made it based on my guess. Brother Li is so good to me, and I don't have much to give him, so I can only make him a pair of shoes." Zhao Ye said with a red face.
"Did he say when he would go to your house to propose marriage? Does he know about what happened before?" Feng Bao asked worriedly.
"I've told Brother Li everything he knows. He said he doesn't care and he thinks I'm the best. Brother Li said he'll go when he comes out of the mountains in a few days." Zhao Ye said happily.
Looking at the smile on Zhao Ye's face, Feng Bao was also happy for him. If it weren't for that gay couple, Ye'er is such a good boy, he wouldn't have been unmarried until today. Fortunately, he met Li Shao now.
Although he knew that Li Shao was very powerful and had promised him that he would not go into the mountains, Zhao Ye was still worried about him.
In order to stop himself from having wild thoughts, he could only keep making shoes, preparing to give them to Li Shao when he came out of the mountains.
"What? I won't marry, Mom and Dad, I won't marry." Zhao Ye shouted excitedly.
Why did he do this to him? Brother Li said he wanted to marry him, and he would be able to marry the person he loved and be happy. Why did he have to marry a man in his fifties and be his concubine?
Zhao's father and mother didn't expect that Zhao Ye, who usually listened to whatever they said, would react so strongly.
Father Zhao slammed the table and said, "Asshole, it's not your turn to decide whether to marry or not. It's always your parents who decide. You have to marry whether you want to or not. From tomorrow on, you just stay at home and wait to get married."
Zhao Ye said with a pale face: "Dad, Mom, am I not your child? Why did you marry me to a man in his fifties? He can be my grandfather."
"What's wrong with being in your fifties? He's a wealthy man in town. You'd be marrying up if you marry him. And look how old you are now, and you're still not married. Do you know what people say about our family? You're bringing shame to the whole family." Seeing that Zhao Ye dared to talk back to him, Zhao's father raised his hand to slap Zhao Ye.
Zhao's mother stopped her, "Brother Ye, you have to feel sorry for your parents and understand them. There is no such thing as parents who harm their children. We are all doing this for your own good. It's such a good family, but you still refuse to marry. Marrying someone depends on their family background, nothing else matters."
"I have someone I like, and I won't marry anyone else but him." Zhao Ye had no choice but to say it.
Upon hearing this, Zhao's father could no longer hold back, and picked up the pipe next to him and hit Zhao Ye, "You shameless little brother, if I had known this would happen today, I should have strangled you to death. You have learned how to hook up with men, who is that man, and what shameful things have you done?"
Mother Zhao helped to stop Father Zhao and said, "Brother Ye, is it Li Shao? He came to our house to give us pork last time. How could you be with him, an orphan with no land and no money? Are you going to piss off your father and me to death?"
Zhao Ye dodged and said, "Brother Li and I are innocent. Nothing happened. Brother Li and I are sincere. He will marry me. He will come to my house to propose in a few days."
"Mom and Dad, please help me and Brother Li get together. Please don't marry me to anyone else." Zhao Ye knelt down crying.
The noise was so loud that Zhao Tian and Sun Jiao had to come in to take a look.
Sun Jiao looked at the scene. She had obviously overheard everything, but she still pretended to scream, "Hey, what's going on? Brother Ye, what have you done wrong?"
Zhao Tian also stepped forward and tried to help Zhao Ye up, "Dad, if Ye Ge'er did something wrong, just punish him, why did you hit him?"
Father Zhao snorted angrily, threw the pipe to the ground, pointed at Zhao Ye and said, "From now on, he is not allowed to leave the room. Wait for him to get married in three days."
After saying that, he ignored Zhao Ye's struggle and locked him into the room and locked the door.
Then he sent Zhao Tian and Sun Jiao back to their room to sleep.
In the following days, no matter how Zhao Ye shouted, no one would let him out. Only Zhao Tian would bring him a cake and water at mealtime every day.
He couldn't help but feel desperate. Why didn't Brother Li come to find him? Was he really going to be forced to marry someone else?
Looking at the bowl in his hand, he really wanted to die. But when he thought that he would not be able to see Brother Li after death, Zhao Ye burst into tears.
Li Shao in the mountain kept walking further in. It turned out that good things only existed in places that had not been visited by humans.
Li Shao has already dug up three hundred-year-old ginseng plants and plans to kill a bear before returning. The money should be enough for him to build a big house, marry Ye Ge'er, and do some small business. He can live a happy life with Ye Ge'er in his arms.
Just thinking about it made his whole body hot, and he wished he could marry Zhao Ye immediately, so he quickened his pace towards the mountains.
The Liu family in the town will come to pick up the people tomorrow. Looking at the darkness outside the window, just when Zhao Ye was about to despair, he heard the sound of the door lock turning outside the door.
