After an hour, the violent storm turned into a light drizzle. Ye Xiaotian slept soundly amidst the sounds of sobbing. In the morning, he got up and washed up. Just as he opened the door, a woman with red and swollen eyes and disheveled hair rushed out from the room next door. She cried, "Don't go! Tell me clearly … "
"Get back here!"
A tall and fat man jumped out and pulled the woman's hair back to the room. He slapped her twice and then kicked the door shut. He lowered his voice and shouted, "Do you think I haven't lost enough face? I, Li Huantian, have traveled all over Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Hubei. I am also a famous person. Do you want me to lose face all over the world? Bitch, I already know you don't follow the rules and only want to marry a concubine. I don't care about your past. But that was before you followed me. If you dare to be so slutty after following me, I will beat you to death. "
The woman cried, "I didn't …"
"Pa pa pa! You still dare to quibble! Pa pa pa! Do you admit it? "
"I admit it! I admit it! Master, please don't hit me anymore. Wu wu wu … "
Ye Xiaotian listened outside and shook his head sympathetically. He sighed and thought, "After this beating, this woman will not be so arrogant in the future, right? En, less annoying. Otherwise, when her man gets tired of her, he will definitely sell her to someone else. Ah! Doing a good deed every day is a great merit. "
Ye Xiaotian turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that he had seen the man in Hulu County. He remembered the first time he went to Hong Baichuan's house, he saw Philanthropist Hong sending this man to the car. Because of his particularly tall appearance, Ye Xiaotian had some impression of him.
This person is called Li Huantian? Ye Xiaotian shook his head. Su Xuntian, Li Huantian, how did these people get involved with the heavens? Do they think that I, Ye Xiaotian, have enough trouble? Ye Xiaotian shook his head and went to find Shuiwu. Shuiwu had already gotten up and washed up. Fuwa also woke up and squatted under the window, chewing bamboo shoots with relish.
As soon as Ye Xiaotian entered the room, Shuiwu raised her finger and shushed him. She whispered, "Yaoyao still hasn't woken up."
Ye Xiaotian lowered his voice and laughed, "She's exhausted. I told her to rest but she refused. She only looked around. It would be strange if she isn't tired."
Ye Xiaotian said as he walked over. He saw Yaoyao wearing a floral pajamas, curled up on the bed and slept soundly. Her face was as red as a small apple. Ye Xiaotian gently held her little hand. Her little hand was warm. Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "This little girl is a beauty in the making. When she grows up, she will definitely be amazing."
"Yu. and," Yun, Ye. "Yu..... Our family's Miss is a fairy-like figure, how could her daughter be inferior? "
Ye Xiaotian laughed, "That's because she took after her mother. If she took after her father …"
Shuiwu blurted out, "How can Yaoyao look like him?" Then she realized she had said something wrong. She hurriedly said, "The little girl took after her mother."
Ye Xiaotian said, "Why do I remember that boys take after their mother and girls take after their father? My brother and I took after my mother. Forget it. Let's not talk about this. You've seen Yang Lin. He looks like a defeated cricket. Yaoyao didn't take after him. Thank God. Thank God. "
Shuiwu said guiltily, "Girls take after their mother. You must have remembered wrongly."
Ye Xiaotian looked at Shuiwu and smiled. Shuiwu curiously looked at herself. She touched her face and asked, "What are you looking at? What's wrong?"
Ye Xiaotian said, "I'm thinking... if we have a child, who will we take after?"
Shui Wu's beautiful face was immediately as red as a cute red apple, just like the sleeping Yao Yao. She turned her back and pouted, "I haven't heard you talk nonsense for a long time, and now you're starting to talk nonsense again."
Ye Xiaotian stood up and walked behind her. He looked at her fair and delicate neck, which had a few strands of virgin hair on it. Then, he said in a low voice, "Shui Wu, when I find your home, I'll send you to your place. At that time, are you really going to marry that Brother Feng? Don't you think Brother Feng is more suitable for you than Brother Feng? "
Shuiwu was just feeling sad, but after hearing Ye Xiaotian's words, she turned around and asked blankly, "Brother Feng is better than Brother Feng?"
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and pointed at the tip of his nose, "Brother Feng is me, crazy as in crazy. Brother Feng is him, wind as in strong wind. Shuiwu, after all these days, you've understood me. Are you willing to go crazy with me? Crazy to the fullest for a lifetime? "
Shuiwu stared at him. The tears in her eyes became more and more intense. She suddenly turned around and two drops of tears secretly rolled down her cheeks. She choked with sobs and said, "Shuiwu is only a girl. It's the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. Shuiwu … what can I do?"
At this time, Shuiwu suddenly thought of Xie Chuanfeng. But Xie Chuanfeng's appearance had become a blurry shadow in her heart. She couldn't remember him no matter how hard she tried. After thinking for a long time, the shadow gradually solidified and turned into Ye Xiaotian's appearance.
He saved her in the Yang residence. He brought her to escape. He saved her time and time again from the fire pit. In Huang County, he helped her to break through the obstacles. In Gourd County, whether it was when he was down and out or when he was at his peak, he never left her …
As a result, Shui Wu's tears were like a broken string of beads, falling down with a pitter patter.
"The order of my parents …"
Ye Xiaotian stood behind her with a confident smile on his face. Could it be that conquering two elders was harder than conquering a young girl?
…
After breakfast, Ye Xiaotian went out to look for news of the Xue family. Because Yaoyao was still young and Fuwa was too eye-catching on the streets, they could only stay in the inn. Ye Xiaotian left Shuiwu behind to take care of them.
Around noon, Ye Xiaotian came back excitedly. Shuiwu, who was playing with Yaoyao, hurried to greet him. Ye Xiaotian didn't wait for her to ask. He smiled and said, "You're really muddle-headed. Your family doesn't live in the city, but in Sanli Village, south of the city. No wonder I couldn't find anything even after asking the whole city. Luckily I was smart enough to ask Yazi. When it comes to understanding the surrounding area, no one knows it better than them. "
Shuiwu said happily, "Sanli Village, yes, yes. Now that you mention it, my mother mentioned this name."
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly, "You can't even remember the address of your own hometown?"
Shuiwu said shyly, "I didn't try to remember it. When my mother went back to Tongren, she said that when I found the Xue family, I would … with … "
Her voice became softer and softer as she recalled what her mother had told her when they returned to Gourd County. "Your mother is too old to take care of you. Wu 'er, you take good care of Miss for me. I'll go back to my hometown first and contact the Xue family. When it's time for you to get married, I'll go with my husband to pick you up … "
Shui Wu had now reached the marriageable age, but her mother and Brother Xiaofeng hadn't arrived yet. During this period, Miss had 'died of illness', leaving behind a baby in swaddling clothes. Before her death, Miss had recognized her as her godmother. Since then, she had raised Shui Wu to be her godmother. She didn't have the time to care about these things. At this moment, this memory came to her mind.
Ye Xiaotian saw her expression and understood what she meant. Ye Xiaotian smiled, "It was me who picked you up from Jingzhou. Don't you think it's God's will?"
Shuiwu avoided his eyes in a panic. She didn't understand what was wrong with her. The education she received since childhood told her that she should listen to her parents' orders when it came to marriage. Once the marriage certificate was issued, she was already someone's wife. A good horse doesn't match two saddles, a good woman doesn't marry two men …
But the closer he got to home, the more reluctant he felt to part with his family, the more he couldn't shake it off. Last night, she dreamed of Ye Xiaotian many times. She dreamed that Ye Xiaotian said goodbye to her and returned to the capital. She woke up crying in the dream. If she didn't get up early to wash her face, she was afraid that Ye Xiaotian would see her red eyes.
Ye Xiaotian smiled and did not force her any further. It seemed that her biggest psychological barrier was still the orders of her parents. In that case, she would have to find a way to get her parents to agree. Weren't her parents just servants who worked in other people's residences? The Xie family she was engaged to was the same. Ye Xiaotian didn't think that they would have a hard time.
Since he knew that the Xue family lived in Sanli Village, it was easy to find them. Ye Xiaotian hitched the carriage and took Shuiwu, her "sister", and Chubby, who kept eating all the way to Sanli Village. Guizhou was mountainous. The east, west, and south sides of Tongren Ancient City faced water. Only the north side faced mountains, and Sanli Village was built at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Xiaotian drove the carriage to Sanli Village at the foot of the mountain. He asked the villagers where the Xue family was and excitedly drove the carriage there. At this time, Shuiwu had already walked out of the carriage excitedly. She held onto the roof and stood still. Although she didn't know which house was her home, she felt a special sense of familiarity when she looked at the grass, trees, bricks, and tiles.
The Xue family lived at the foot of the mountain. It was at the end of a row of families, so it was easy to find. Ye Xiaotian drove the carriage to a place not far from the Xue family. He used a long horsewhip to point forward and said to Xue Shuiwu, "Look, that family is your home."
Shuiwu happily looked up and saw that there was a family at the foot of the mountain. There were a lot of people in front of the door, and they were making a lot of noise. She didn't know what they were doing. Shuiwu looked nervous and said, "Did something happen at home?"
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly stopped the carriage and got off with Shuiwu. Fuwa squeezed its big head against the window and stared at the noisy crowd curiously. Yaoyao stood on the shaft of the carriage.
The two groups of people were arguing fiercely, and no one paid attention to the three people driving the carriage. Shuiwu stood at the back of the crowd and saw her mother at a glance. She was so excited that she almost cried out, but when she saw the situation, she quickly covered her mouth.
Ye Xiaotian stood in the crowd and carefully listened to the words mixed with the dirty words. He gradually understood the situation. It turned out that the two sides of the quarrel were the Xue family, and the other was the Xue family's neighbor. The Xue family wanted to repair their house, so they prepared the materials and hired a craftsman. Because the craftsman was busy finishing up another work, he sent a few young apprentices to do some simple repairs. The Xue family proposed to repair the wall.
The Xue family had lived in the capital for many years, and their house had long been dilapidated. After they came back, they simply renovated it once. This time, they were determined to do a big repair, but they didn't expect that the neighbor would object, saying that it would block their family's Fengshui.
In fact, finding fault with the repair of the wall was just an excuse. The two neighbors had not been getting along well in the past few years, and there had long been a grudge between them. Now they were just using it as a pretext. The Xue family had been away from their hometown for decades, and compared to their neighbors, they were considered outsiders. Moreover, the Xue couple had been working for the head of the Ministry of Rites, so they were also infected with a gentle temperament. How could they be compared to this village woman who was making a scene? For a while, they couldn't resist the scolding and kept retreating.
Ye Xiaotian understood the situation and was overjoyed. This was really a good opportunity to please his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Wasn't it in front of him?
Ye Xiaotian rolled up his sleeves and rushed up excitedly!
