Chapter 313 The Threat of the Niu Family
Shen Youfu took the Niu family to his home. In this way, his mind was very confused. All he thought was that this kind of thing had happened. Will it affect Shen Ziju's future? How could he make this matter end as quietly as possible, so he didn't pay much attention to the Niu family at all.
There were some people from Riverside Village on the street. They looked at Shen Youfu walking with such a group of people driving a mule car. They were all curious. They all greeted him and asked him if this was a relative? He all hid the past, hoping that all these people hadn't seen him. He didn't want these people to notice the Niu family.
Shen Youfu thought so, and there was wind under his feet. He walked very fast and arrived in front of his house in a short time.
"Yo! Uncle Youfu, who are these? Your relatives? But I haven't seen it!"
Dazhu's daughter-in-law was sitting at the door and looking around. She saw Shen Youfu and the Niu family coming. Her eyes wandered around on the mule cart and the Niu family. She saw that the family could come by car, and her clothes were not bad, as well as gold and silver jewelry. Thinking that the family seemed to Now that the Shen family is living a good life, all the relatives have come to the door? She pouted and thought that since Zhao Daliang married Zhang Qingniang, she also had a lot of relatives, but they were all poor relatives. There was no such money!
Shen Youfu ignored Dazhu's daughter-in-law. At this time, he was not in the mood to pay attention to others, not to mention this talkative woman.
Shen Zifu didn't go out today. He heard something outside. He went out and was a little stunned to see that Shen Youfu had brought these people back.
Shen Youfu asked Shen Zifu to pick up the Niu family's mule car, and then let the Niu family enter the yard.
Shen Zifu saw that his father's face was not good, but his attitude towards the Niu family was cold but seemed to be polite, and the Niu family all looked bad, and the old woman's eyes were red and swollen. He was also puzzled, but he still went to the end to take over the mule car.
"I'm here myself!"
Niu Er said to Shen Zifu that he would not let Shen Zifu touch the mule car. Shen Zifu was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that this man was really rude. Did he come to the house to find trouble? However, he was kind and didn't care about Niu Er. He asked him to park the mule car outside, and then tied the mule. Here, he put the cow and mule outside the door. He definitely couldn't lose it.
The people of the Shen family were all shocked by the Niu family. They all looked over, and even the girls who stayed in the house to work saw it. When they saw the stiff face of the Niu family, they all came out. If this is really looking for trouble, it would always be better to have more people.
In the hall, Shen Zhang asked Shen Youfu what was going on. When she heard Shen Youfu's words and said what he heard, her face turned pale.
"Impossible! How can we do such a thing?! He is an innocent child! He has grown up so much that he won't look at the woman! How could you do such a thing?! I don't believe it!"
Shen Zhangshi was a little anxious when she heard it. Shen Ziju, which she carefully cultivated. She believed that this son was smart. He has not loved to have much contact with girls since he was a child, and he never looks at good-looking girls when he grows up. He put all his heart into reading. At the beginning, he promised Xiao Ping'er to him, but he did not refuse. If he had any dissatisfaction with Xiao Ping'er, she believed that her son must care about Xiao Ping'er's bad nature or family background. She believed that her son must not dislike Xiao Ping'er's bad appearance.
How can such a girl who is not serious about women bully others? This is a big joke!
Shen Zhang has always been calm, but suddenly heard someone say that her most important son. She suddenly lost an inch and lost her mind. At this time, she was more like the mother of someone who bullied her son. She looked at the Niu family and felt that these people were extremely hateful.
"How can you people talk so nonsense? I know who my son is. He can't do that kind of thing! Don't wrong him."
Shen Youfu was also a little sober at this time. He thought: Yes, his son is so talented and polite. There is no one he has met who doesn't praise. It's enough to marry a daughter. He wanted to marry the daughter of an official family after becoming an official. How could he do such a thing to ruin his reputation during the examination? The son didn't come back, so a group of people came. What did they say? Why did he believe it?!
Shen Youfu felt that he was really concerned and confused. He even knew that these people's surnames were Niu, and he didn't even ask where they came from! How did the daughters of these people meet Shen Ziju? He doesn't know what's going on! What if these people frame their son?
"Who the hell are you? Where do you live? How did you meet my son? How did you meet my son when your daughter was a girl? Where did you see it? If you don't make it clear, we won't believe your words. Don't blame our Shen family for being rude at that time! Our son has meritorious deeds, and it is not something you can easily slander! Now, let's be honest!"
Shen Youfu's temper is quite bad. Usually, for the sake of fame, he is good to the people in Riverside Village, but he has a bad temper in his bones. Now that he is facing these Niu families, his temper is a little uncontrollable.
"Alas! Oh, my God! Do you want to admit it? My miserable daughter! What can you do? So there is no innocence. Don't worry, even if my mother goes to the capital, she has to help you ask for an explanation--my daughter--"
Niu Lanshi, Niu Tian's daughter-in-law, immediately cried when she saw this posture. All the Shen family, who were originally standing in the yard, ran in.
"Dad, I heard it outside."
Wang quickly came over and whispered to Shen Youfu. She also realized that this incident was not very pleasant to listen to. She was afraid that the Zhao family next door would hear it, especially the daughter-in-law of Dazhu, who loved to listen to the wall. If she heard anything, the whole village would have to hear it that day.
Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang's heart tightened when they heard this, thinking that whether it was Shen Ziju's fault or not, they had to stabilize the Niu family first. If they shouted, whether it was true or not, Shen Ziju's reputation would be affected first. That's what the countryside is like. Everyone says that all the fakes are true.
"Don't cry. If you cry again, don't go on. Anyway, your family is a girl. You are not afraid of shame, and you are even more ashamed. Our son is famous for his merit. Who is the best when he sees it!" Shen Zhang said that these words were a little threatening, but her voice quickly softened. "If you say it well and make it clear, if we think you are reasonable, we will not be unreasonable. I won't treat your girl badly."
The Niu family was going to come forward and quarrel loudly. As soon as they heard this, they all stopped and closed their mouths. Even Niu Lanshu closed their mouths. Looking at her eyes, they were just a little red, and there were no tears, but their faces were a little wet, as if saliva was smear Look, I just cried.
The Shen family suddenly became disgusted with the Niu family.
Shen Youfu and Shen Zhang were a little excited at this time, so Wang came forward to let the Niu family sit down, saying that they had something to say.
"Let's talk about who you are first, right? Where do you live? How did your daughter meet my son?
Shen Zhang sat in the front chair and stared at the Niu family and asked. She also wanted to figure out the most important thing in her heart. She really didn't believe that Shen Ziju would do such a thing. But if there is no such thing, how dare people come to you? Even if it's a liar, it doesn't need so many people, right?
Niu Tian opened. He said, "My surname is Niu, and my name is Niu Tian. This is my Lan family. That's my two sons, Niu Da Niu Er, and two daughters-in-law, Zhang and Wang. Speaking of which, you have also met our girl. Her name is Xianhuā. She once came to your house with the Xiao family at that time.
After listening to Niu Tian's words, the Shen family was all stunned. They didn't expect that the girl was Niu Xianhu!
Now the Shen family thinks of Niu Xianhu. She is a beautiful girl, especially a pair of eyes. As a village girl, it is really not suitable. It is very attractive to turn around. That mouth is also very talkative, as if it was smeared with honey, and everyone who said it was very happy. How could she and Shen Ziju get together? This is so bizarre!
"It turned out to be a fresh girl! I said that there was something wrong with her eyes when she looked at the fifth brother. It turned out that she had this idea at that time. At that time, the fifth brother was still Xiao Ping'er's fiance, right? That's her brother-in-law. She is too embarrassed to think about it. It's really romantic.
Sun stood by the door and said sarcastically. When Niu Xianhu came, she didn't hate Niu Xianhu, but Niu Xianhu wanted to be her concubine. She didn't want to. Niu Xianhu was too clever. She was afraid that she would not be able to take advantage of Shen Ziju. So now she is belittling Niu Xianhu in her words.
"Who are you talking about? My sister is not that kind of person! You're looking for a fight, aren't you?!" Niu Er stared at Sun and waved his fist.
Sun retreated in fear and shouted, "Alas! Hit someone! Help!" !
Shen Ziping also took a step back, hid behind Shen Zifu, poked his head and said, "What? Do you still want to beat people in our Shen family? Believe it or not, I told my fifth brother that no matter what's wrong with your Niu Xianhu, don't want to enter our Shen family!"
"Shut up!" Shen Youfu scolded Shen Ziping.
Niu Tian also stared at Niu Er and asked Niu Da to pull him back.
Looking at it calmed down again, Shen Zhang asked, "My son went to Fucheng. How could your daughter be there?" How did you meet my family again? How can you know that your daughter is unclear with my son? If you had been there at that time, and now you can come back, it's impossible for my son not to send a message to my family! We don't know about this until now? Are you talking nonsense?!"
"Yes, it's impossible for my son not to send a letter to my family!"
Shen Youfu also said that he felt that this matter was not like what the Niu family said.
Niu Tian said, "Who has the face to say this kind of thing to his family? Even if we have the face to say it, it's not as fast as the letter we know. We received the letter, which was delivered by relatives at home. Your son has to find another messenger. How can we get the letter quickly? Our family went to the capital city. There were relatives in the capital. She went there to visit relatives. Originally, I wanted to talk about marriage there, but I didn't want to encounter this. If your family doesn't give an explanation, her life will be over!"
Niu Tian talked about how Niu Xianhuā met Shen Ziju, and the Shen family was speechless.
It turned out that after Shen Ziju arrived in Fucheng, he lived there before it was time for the exam. As a result, he was in trouble. People in this exam usually meet friends, recite poems, study and study examination questions, and literati will drink some wine. As a result, they will drink too much. When I returned to the inn, I saw that there was a woman lying beside him the next morning, and the room was not his room. And that woman is Niu Xian Huā.
"Isn't the girl in your family visiting relatives? Why did you stay in the inn?!"
Shen Youfu asked, why does he think this is too coincidental? How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
Niu Tian said, "I came out of my relative's house. Where can I stay in the inn? This is also a bad fate! Why did you stay for such a night and get into trouble! Now my daughter's innocence has been destroyed by your son. There are only two ways to go, one is that your son married my daughter, and the other is that we will sue the official! I don't want my daughter's reputation, and let your son carry the punishment on our daughter! Humph, let's not talk about lifting people at that time, even the reputation of the scholar has to be taken away! Think about it."
Niu Da was very calm. At this time, he also said, "My sister is good-looking and intelligent. Speaking of it, she is also predestined to be with your family. We are also villagers. It's better to be in-laws than to be enemies."
Niu Er said indifferently, "Well, anyway, my sister's reputation is gone. We raise her. At worst, we can find a place for her to marry and marry a rich family! On the contrary, your son can't be an official at that time. Even if he can read a few words, how many people dare to invite him to work?! Think about it!"
Hearing this, the Shen family choked in their throats.
Shen Youfu felt dark in front of her eyes again, and Shen Zhang's well-maintained face also turned red. She was angry. However, they listened to the threat of the Niu family. Although the Niu family was angry, what they said was the truth. Even if Niu Xianhu is not clean, she can still find a place to marry a good family far away. These days, as long as she is good-looking, widows can marry rich people as concubines. Niu Xianhuā can do it naturally. But their family's move is all over, and their Shen family is over!
