Huo Shichu cleared his throat and continued: "By the way, although the Wei family acted ruthlessly, they still wanted to save face, so in order to block others' mouths, they used a few bags of herbs and a bag of corn to escape from me. My mother gave me back in exchange, saying that she would get a wife for Dalang Wei and let me take care of him."
Chu Ran was stunned when he heard her words. With just a few words, he could imagine how desperate Wei Dalang, who was seriously injured and abandoned by his family, would be. He asked himself, if it was him, how could he deal with it? The Wei family has no resentment?
Huo Shichu didn't wait for him to digest these words that were completely different from what he knew, and continued: "Guess what, I was scared and helpless when I was abandoned by my mother, and I met a desperate guard who had seriously injured his legs and couldn't take care of himself. Dalang, how do you feel about living in a broken house with drafts everywhere?"
Chu Ran stared blankly at the smiling Huo Shichu, and couldn't tell what it was like. Was this couple, who were living well now, once so helpless, hopeless and miserable?
When Wei Erniang saw Chu Ran's face, she thought something bad in her heart, but she couldn't say that Huo Shichu was wrong because what she said was all true and everyone in the village knew it. It was impossible for her to deny it, so she could only I was so anxious but didn’t know what to do.
Huo Shichu didn't care how hard it was for her, she just wanted to teach Chu Ran, this "noble young man" who was almost lame after being deceived by the Wei family, a lesson, hit him hard once, and let him fight the injustice!
So she continued: "The Wei family drove people out and gave us some rags. We didn't have any money at all. Dalang was probably badly hurt, so he simply called the village chief and clan elders to come over. He adopted himself out and broke off all ties with the Wei family, just because he didn't want to have anything to do with them.
But now, when they see that we are living well, they start to accuse us of being ungrateful and unfilial? Are they worthy? When Dalang was driven to the deserted house, rain leaked everywhere in the house, and his shabby bed was soaked with moisture. Adding insult to injury, he almost couldn't survive. It was thanks to the help of our neighbor Aunt Zhou that we gradually recovered. "
"Fortunately, God is not blind. Dalang can still recover from his injury. After he recovered, he went hunting in the mountains, paid off his debts, and earned some money, so that he could build his own house and no longer have to live here and there. The house is leaking and dilapidated! Do you know how much we have suffered, how much hardship we have suffered, and how much blood and tears we have spent to get to this point?!"
Huo Shichu's tone was indignant, and his questions were like knives stabbing Chu Ran, making him blush and feel ashamed.
He really wanted not to believe Huo Shichu's words, but he knew in his heart that Huo Shichu's words were true. This was the truth about how Wei Dalang and the Wei family had broken off their friendship, which was completely different from the truth that the Wei family said.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask other people in the village." Huo Shichu regained his composure, and then asked sarcastically Wei Erniang, who was standing next to him, "Wei Erniang, do you think what I said is wrong? If you have any, please bring it up.”
"No, no!" Wei Erniang hurriedly shook her head and denied it with tears in her eyes. She could no longer imagine what Chu Ran would think after hearing these words. She was panicked and frightened. She wanted to save it, but she didn't know what to do. .
Huo Shichu was satisfied when she saw the two people were about to collapse due to her blow. She patted the hem of her clothes and left refreshed. If the Wei family tried to confuse right and wrong and beat them up, she would skin them all. Come down, put your panties down!
Huo Shichu had gone a long way. After digesting what she said, Chu Ran asked Wei Erniang blankly: "What she just said is true, right?"
"This, this... my parents didn't mean it..." Wei Erniang said hesitantly, not knowing how to justify her family's ruthless and indifferent behavior. Her family took advantage of others' danger and made trouble. Kicking her seriously injured brother out of the house overnight was an undeniable fact that she could not erase no matter what.
At this time, Wei Erniang began to resent Huo Shichu for saying these things to Chu Ran. Aren't they already living a good life now? Why can't we forget the past? Why can't you shut up? If I had to say it out loud, it would definitely be a disgrace to them...
After complaining about Huo Shichu, she started to hate her parents and brothers again. Why did she rush to drive Wei Dalang out in the first place? She lost her good impression in front of Dashan...
Wei Erniang resented everyone, but she didn't feel that she was at fault. She finally found a way to restore her image and hurriedly said: "My parents did something wrong. In fact, I didn't agree to separate the eldest brother. Yes, I have also persuaded my family, but I am not the one who makes the decision at home. I can’t stop my family. I can only watch my family do wrong things... Wow, I should have been braver and persuaded my parents..."
She shed tears as she spoke, looking guilty as "she is useless" and "can't stop her family from doing wrong things". As expected of a heroine, she is still a bit quick-witted, even though she sold her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law to them. It’s just your own stepping stone.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her parents kicking Wei Dalang out at first. Instead, she felt it was quite good because she didn't want to take care of a seriously injured person. You know, if Wei Dalang stayed at home, she would have to take care of him. It is very likely that the job fell on her. After all, her mother would not care about this stepson, and the two sisters-in-law had to avoid suspicion, and the nephews and nieces were young, so wasn't it her sister who was the most suitable to take care of Dalang Wei? ?
So knowing that Wei Dalang would be kicked out, she was relieved. Not only did she not feel guilty, but she was happy to see it happen. As for persuading or stopping her parents, there was nothing she could do.
Chu Ran was disappointed when he saw Wei Erniang trying her best to clear herself up. Wei Erniang's words were not confident, and her eyes flickered, so she was lying at first glance.
Chu Ran sighed and began to doubt her ability to see people. Is his "savior" really as kind and innocent as she showed?
So Chu Ran, who had never doubted Wei Erniang in the original owner's world, had a change in his understanding of Wei Erniang, and developed a grudge. He didn't know whether the roots of love that had not yet been unearthed could continue to sprout.
Huo Shichu didn't know that she almost burned the red thread between the male and female protagonists by telling the truth. She exposed the hypocrisy of the Wei family in front of Chu Ran. She was just happy. Look, this time Chu Ran knew the true face of the Wei family. Finally, can I still be with Wei Erniang with peace of mind?
If he can still do it, then she admires his courage. If he is stuck with a dog-skin plaster like the Wei family, he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
Wei Qi was playing with the pond that he cherished so much in the yard. When he saw Huo Shichu coming back with a happy face and humming a song, he couldn't help but chuckle a few times. He felt that his wife in name only was like a child who had not grown up, which was a bit... cute.
