Chapter 26(1/2)
Because of Han Yue's guarantee, the couple would soon be able to go out alone with their third brother who was eager to learn and polite, so Chen Jiao didn't care about spending more time with the second wife.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Cao family was hospitalized with guests, Han Jiang, and Cao Zhenzhu took Sheng Ge'er to her parents' house for a meal.
Then a few days later, Wei Qingcang coveted Chen Jiao and the story of framed Han Yue spread, but it was reported from the village of Cao Zhenzhu's mother's house. Chen Jiao didn't know that Han Yue, a big man, had no woman, ran to him and muttered, but when Tian was getting along with the villagers, she got the letter.
Tian immediately came to find his daughter and son-in-law.
Tian has always been a good mother-in-law and has never disliked Han Yue's poverty. But this time, Tian's eyes were red and she wiped tears while complaining to Han Yue: "Before Jiaojiao married to your family, she had never touched the rough work of washing and cooking. She only learned it after she got married. I feel sorry for your hard work in farming. Jiaojiao ran to me and asked me to teach her some planting. OK, I won't say that you were framed and imprisoned before the New Year. It was Jiaojiao who tried to save you. On that day, the second, third and Jiaojiao and her father were with her. Everyone can see that, but your younger brother and sister were talking nonsense outside. My good daughter, and her reputation was bad in her mouth!"
There was another storm, and Chen Jiao was also angry, but now she could only comfort her mother: "Don't cry, my mouth is on others, we can't control it, just know what's going on."
She could tolerate it, but Han Yue couldn't, so she called Han Jiang with a calm face. Cao Zhenzhu called over and interrogated Cao Zhenzhu: "Did you spread the rumors about your sister-in-law outside?"
Cao Zhenzhu pretended to be stupid: "What rumor, why haven't I heard of it?" Then she asked Chen Jiao with concern: "What happened to my sister-in-law?"
It was clearly what she said, but now she still has a disgusting face. The man is not easy to do, and her daughter becomes a ladylike temper again. However, Tian could not control her anger and suddenly rushed over Chen Jiao and shaved a big ear to Cao Zhenzhu's face: "I told you to pretend!"
Everyone in the room was stunned. Chen Jiao didn't expect that her kind-hearted mother would hit people. Han Yue was shocked at first, and then she felt inexplicably happy.
Before Han Jiang could react, Cao Zhenzhu got angry first and raised her hand to hit Tian. Just as Tian was about to fight, Han Yue was afraid that his mother-in-law would not be able to beat Cao Zhenzhu, so he stopped him in front of Tian in time. He grabbed Cao Zhenzhu's wrist and swung him, and then threw the person a few steps, and shouted coldly: "Nonsense!"
Cao Zhenzhu cried "wow" and pointed at Han Jiang with disheveled hair: "You just watch them when they hit me?"
Han Jiang looked at Tian and looked at Ueda's red eyes with angry eyes. Han Jiang didn't know what to say, because he knew very well that the Lin family didn't say it, and the three of them didn't say it. Who else could there be except for the wife who would talk about the grudge between his sister-in-law and Wei Qingcang?
"Aunt, Pearl didn't mean it, don't bother with her." Han Jiang tried to be a peacemaker.
Seeing that he was still counting, Tian said a little slower, but he still taught Han Jiang a lesson in the tone of an elder: "Second, I always think you are a good child, but I have to tell you that your wife should take care of you. Do you think that people outside will only laugh at your sister-in-law? They joked the whole Han family together! Your wife had a scandal when she got pregnant before marriage. She just saw that your sister-in-law was doing well, and she deliberately pulled your sister-in-law into the water and got rid of her. Wait. In the future, if the third brother marrys his wife, it will sooner or later be ruined in her mouth!"
The voice came out, and the third brother Han Xu, who was hiding in the west room and eavesdropping, suddenly shivered and worried about his wife who had not yet seen him. Although he was young, Han Xu could still distinguish between the two sisters-in-law in the family.
"You fart, fart!" Cao Zhenzhu began to curse.
Han Jiang had a headache and pushed Cao Zhenzhu back to the wing room with a push and shoved, and closed the door. The couple said nothing, but others didn't know.
Although he slapped Cao Zhenzhu, Tian still couldn't help but want to take his daughter back to his parents' home.
Chen Jiao glanced at Han Yue with a funny look.
Han Yue was almost crying. He had just coaxed his wife, but now his mother-in-law is here to steal someone again.
"Mother-in-law, I know Jiaojiao is wronged. Don't be angry. Jiaojiao and I have discussed it. After the fifteenth, the three of us will split up." Han Yue stopped his mother-in-law who was angry and said sincerely.
Tian already knew about this. When her daughter went home for the New Year, she mentioned it to her that Tian is making trouble now and has other purposes.
"Everyone outside said that Jiaojiao gave the two men of Wei's family benefits, but they let you go. Don't you doubt it?"
With his head raised, Tian stared at his son-in-law and asked.
Han Yue Surong said: "I know more than anyone else who Jiaojiao is. If I believe the rumors outside, I will ask me to be struck by lightning."
The son-in-law trusted his daughter, and Tian felt much better. After a pause, she said to her daughter: "Jiaojiao, now tell Han Yue how you persuaded Mr. Wei."
Han Yue unexpectedly turned to his petite lady, why did she be willing to tell her mother but never mention it to him?
Chen Jiao didn't mention it because Han Yue didn't ask, so she didn't want to lie again.
Facing Han Yue's gaze, Chen Jiao lowered her head and said, "Actually, I had been gambled once. Didn't I bet on Mr. Wei the year before? At that time, I didn't suspect Mr. Wei's second master until he caused trouble for you that I connected that matter with him. So, that day, I asked Mr. Wei that his own son had done so many vicious things, and his father had no idea what he taught. If he didn't help his son make up for his virtue, would he not be afraid that his own son would suffer retribution in the future?"
Speaking of this, Chen Jiao raised her head and smiled at Han Yue: "We are lucky, Mr. Wei is a person who believes in retribution."
Chen Jiao can only lie, otherwise she would not be able to explain why she knew that Mudan had a serious illness.
Han Yue had believed in Chen Jiao, but now after hearing what Chen Jiao said, Han Yue suddenly felt that his wife would definitely be a good mother who is good at teaching children in the future.
Trust and appreciation, the couple stared at each other affectionately, and Tian saw it and smiled with relief. As long as the son-in-law is kind to his daughter, the rumors outside are nothing.
After this incident happened, Han Yue didn't wait for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and called both younger brothers to the west room that night.
He sat on the edge of the kang, his feet touching the ground. The second child Han Jiang sat on the bench opposite him, with his head hanging down. The third child Han Xu stood aside and looked at his elder brother in confusion.
Han Yue's eyes swept across his third brother's face and fell on his second brother's face. He was in a complicated mood, but he still spoke: "Second brother, how did your sister-in-law treat you and Brother Sheng'er? You know in your heart, but how did your younger brother and sister treat her? And your thoughts on being bastard that night." His tone was very strict.
Han Jiang's head tilted towards the door and said nothing.
Han Yue sighed and said simply: "Splitting the family, if you make a fuss like this, living together will only become more and more messy."
Han Jiang and Han Xu looked at him in shock.
Han Yue looked calm and looked at his second brother and said, "The third brother has not yet gotten married. I will live with us. You and your younger brother and sister don't have to squeeze in the wing room. I will build a new house in the west of the village. When we move out, the old houses here belong to you and your younger brother and sister."
Han Jiang was anxious: "Brother..."
Han Yue waved his hand and continued, "In addition to the house, our family has four acres of medium-sized land and four acres of low-sized land. I will divide you two acres of medium-sized land and one acre of low-sized land. Isn't that okay?"
In this way, the second house takes advantage of it. Han Yue is the eldest brother after all. He knows that his second brother is not as good as his ability to make money, and he just has a son in the house, so Han Yue still wants to take care of his second brother again.
Han Jiang's eyes turned red: "Brother..."
Han Yue interrupted him again: "After selling the wild boar, there are now 63 taels of silver and more than 500 copper coins in the family. I will give you twenty-five taels. This is the account book. Remember each input and every expense, your sister-in-law clearly. Look." Take out the account book that had been prepared long ago, and Han Yue handed it to his second brother.
Like Han Yue, Han Jiang didn't know much literacy, but he could still understand the simple account book. Han Jiang held the account book stuffed by his brother with one hand, and was embarrassed to look around.
"There are two male and wild boars in the pen, two sows, and second brother. Wild boars are difficult to raise. If you want to raise wild boars, I will share your male and female. If you feel that you can't raise them well, then I will not share your pigs. I will share your money with you. You can buy two domestic piglets yourself, which are easy to take care of and worry-free."
Han Jiang lowered his head and covered his head.
Han Yue walked over, patted his brother's shoulder, and paused before saying, "Second brother, don't think too much. The separation is for harmony. Even if you separate, if you encounter any trouble in the future, if you can, the eldest brother will help you, and you will never sit idly by. Do you make your own decision on pig farming, or do you want to discuss with your younger brother and sister?"
The last thing Han Jiang wants to see now is Cao Zhenzhu!
He didn't want to separate from his brother, but deep down, Han Jiang knew very well that he had hurt his elder brother's heart, and this family was destined to be separated.
"Don't discuss with her. I don't want any pigs, and my elder brother doesn't have to pay for my money. I'll buy piglets myself after I turn around." After the sadness, Han Jiang stood up straight. He has his own backbone. He has taken care of him. He can't raise wild boars, and he is no longer greedy.
Han Yue was relieved to be able to do this. If the second brother was so greedy that he accepted all his care with peace of mind, then...
After pinching his second brother's shoulder, Han Yue exhaled and remembered something. He smiled and asked the third brother: "What do you think about this arrangement?"
After the family split, Han Xu didn't know whether to be sad or laugh, and said obediently: "I'll listen to my elder brother and second brother."
The three brothers agreed, and this matter was decided.
As night fell, after Han Yue and Chen Jiao fell asleep, Cao Zhenzhu's unwilling voice suddenly came from the wing room: "Why don't we not want wild boars?"
Han Jiang's voice was also low: "Is it for you to raise a wild boar? What should I do if I raise it for nothing?"
"I won't support me and sell it for money!"
"Shut up, that's our pig. We three brothers can divide whatever we want. It's not your turn to point fingers!"
"Okay, you mean I'm not your wife..."
The couple kept arguing, and Chen Jiao wanted to listen more because she thought it was fun, but Han Yue was not in the mood. She covered the quilt on top of their heads and turned it onto Chen Jiao. If you have the skill to hear the bad woman talking, it would be better to hear her petite lady in the quilt. He loves to listen to it the most.
The man seemed to be so enthusiastic forever, and Chen Jiao was soon unable to distract herself, so she bit her lip and hummed for him.
Two days later, Han Yue invited the village chief and his father-in-law to come to his house as a witness. The three brothers separated the family calmly. Cao Zhenzhu was unhappy, and it was useless if she was unhappy. She could not be Han Jiang's master.
In the first month and February, it was the slack season. Han Yue went to the mountain to cut wood, dug sand and stones in the river, and piled it to the selected place in the west of the village. Han Jiang worked with his brother every day. The weather was warmer in spring, and he also happily helped his brother build a house. The three brothers separated, which caused a lot of suspicion in the village. Later, when Han Yue and Han Jiang were as close as before, the villagers gradually stopped talking about the Han family.
Having money in hand, Han Yue hired workers to build a house. There were so many people that he built it quickly. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a five-bedroom house in the west of Dawang Village. The wing room, pigpen and chicken coop in the front yard were also built, which looked very generous. When the villagers visited in and out, they looked at the two sows that had been planted in the pigpen. They were all envious.
The house was built. On the day when Han Yue and Chen Jiao moved, according to the customs of the village, they invited relatives and friends to have a meal.
"Han Yue, your life is getting better and better. When your wife gives birth to a son for you, it will be completely perfect!"
At the dinner table, an old man said to Han Yue with a smile.
Han Yue subconsciously looked up at the landlord's house, and his petite lady was there to entertain the closest female guest.
The old man's words also reached the house.
Tian, Chen Jiao's grandmother and three aunts all looked at Chen Jiao's belly.
Chen Jiao blushed and felt a little anxious. Han Yue was looking forward to her offspring, and she also wanted to give birth to one for him. The Bodhisattva had not appeared for a long time. Maybe she was destined to spend her life with Han Yue?
In the evening, the guests dispersed, and the new house of Han’s family became quiet. Chen Jiao and his wife, Han Xu and Chunxing cleaned the yard together, and they all took a rest after they were busy.
Han Yue was very excited after living in a new house for the first time and drinking, and bullied Chen Jiao three times in a row.
"Jiaojiao, this is great." Before going to bed, Han Yue hugged Chen Jiao and said with a gentle and satisfied look.
Chen Jiao was very tired, but for some reason, she was not sleepy at all. With the bright moonlight, she quietly looked at her husband beside her.
He has no talent, but he can make money, he can't be romantic, but he is considerate to her, he has no decent background, but she is now just the daughter of a scholar in the village. Thinking of this, the marriage she has found for her first life is quite happy. If she can have children smoothly, he will raise pigs and take care of her children...
Chen Jiao smiled unconsciously and fell asleep, with the corners of her mouth still raised.
Perhaps it was a day when she was thinking about it. Chen Jiao, who was sleeping, had a sweet dream. She dreamed that she was pregnant. Han Yue was so happy. In addition to farming and raising pigs, tall men surrounded her every day. The next year, Chen Jiao gave birth to a daughter safely. She thought Han Yue would be unhappy, but she didn't expect that Han Yue liked her very much and would hold her daughter wherever she went.
Cao Zhenzhu sarcastically mocked her for not being able to give birth to a son, and then Chen Jiao soon became pregnant again. This time she gave birth to a fat boy. Han Yue excitedly went to the second house in the east of the village to congratulate her, but she ran into Cao Zhenzhu and Han Jiang. It seemed that Han Jiang had sex with a pretty maid in the town. Later, Han Jiang actually redeemed the maid and took her home to become a concubine!
Han Jiang was the only one who raised an aunt in the whole village. Han Yue felt it was a bit embarrassing. Chen Jiao joked with him and asked him if he wanted to raise one. Han Yue rushed over...
When the dream came here, the couple's love suddenly disappeared, and Chen Jiao also returned to the familiar and unfamiliar palace from the earthen kang in the village.
Chen Jiao stared at the Bodhisattva in front of her in a daze.
The Bodhisattva had a kind-hearted look and said with a smile: "Chen Jiao, your first life has been fulfilled and you can go to the second life."
The first life is over?
Han Yue…
