Chapter 390 The Wife Used as a Shield 12
Chu Xinghe had read a few more years of books, so he could tell something was a little unusual. "Zhou was fine before, why did they turn hostile as soon as I left?"
Wang Meihua didn't think too much about it, she just said: "I must have left because I felt I was not worthy of you."
Chu Xinghe frowned and said, "It's impossible, don't talk nonsense."
Wang Meihua was scolded but did not dare to talk back because the space she had previously collected was suddenly gone and all the gold, silver and jewelry she had collected were gone.
Only those presentable things were left in the bag. She felt so sad that even the spiritual spring water and the crops and livestock she had planted with great difficulty were gone.
She never dreamed that the things in her body would disappear one day.
If she had known earlier, she would not have put money into the mustard seeds, and she would not have worked so hard to farm the land. Now she has nothing left, and she will not be able to rely on the spiritual spring water for maintenance in the future.
Fortunately, her sister did not send her a message asking for skin care products made with spiritual spring water, otherwise how would she get them?
"Master, since Zhou is gone, what about our relationship?" Wang Meihua thought about settling her status first, so that after she had a child, her position would be stable.
Chu Xinghe glanced at her and said, "My parents said that Zhou has returned to her hometown, which is not far from here, and asked me to go look for her, and it would be best if I could find her back."
Wang Meihua glared and said, "What? Why do you want to bring that woman back? She left on her own, you didn't divorce her.
You have to find a woman like this and give her a lot of face."
Chu Xinghe said with a wry smile: “When this woman left, she ruined the reputation of the Chu family, saying that we coveted her dowry to support the family.
He also ruined my younger sister's reputation, saying that she was arrogant and disrespectful to her sister-in-law.
My younger sister is about to get married, and with such a reputation, it’s impossible for her to find a good family.
So my parents asked me and Zhou to explain and bring the person back, so that the previous rumors will be dispelled. "
Wang Meihua said unhappily: "Xinghe, what should I do? It's not easy for that woman to leave, I thought I could be your wife.
But now, is identity so important? "
Chu Xinghe was also upset. Why did so many things happen at home suddenly? Why did Zhou suddenly become like this?
Every new bride who marries into a family has to please her husband's family, but she can't stand being wronged and has to make trouble, preventing him from studying well and doing great things.
"Mei'er, there's nothing we can do about it. My little sister is already fifteen years old this year. If she continues to carry this reputation, her life will be ruined."
"Then how come your other three sisters got married successfully within two months?" Wang Meihua was not easy to fool either.
Chu Xinghe said: "My other three sisters are all daughters of officials, and because of this, they all married students who came to the capital to take the exam.
They were all commoners, with just a little money at home, and not very well educated, otherwise how could they not have failed the exam?
Moreover, all three of them married far away, so if they are bullied in the future, there will be no one to support them.
My younger sister is the daughter of a legitimate wife. My family has raised her for so many years and has high hopes for her. How could she just marry off casually like her three illegitimate sisters?
Mei'er, I swear, you will be my first wife from now on, or I will be poor and destitute for the rest of my life. Once the Sixth Prince succeeds, I will divorce that bitch immediately."
"Humph, if you want to go, go ahead. I'm not someone who is so confused."
Wang Meihua left angrily. In fact, until now, Wang Meihua didn't know that Chu Xinghe already had four concubines and eight children. She was determined to give birth to the eldest grandson of the Chu family.
Chu Xinghe knew that she agreed, and he was very happy. Mei'er was really considerate, unlike Zhou, who was a lady from a wealthy family but acted like a troublemaker every day when she had nothing to do.
The fact of the letter is that after Chu's father told him what happened at home, he asked him to cut off contact with Wang Meihua, otherwise if he really brought her back, the rumor would be confirmed.
Below was a letter from Chu's mother, saying that there was less than one thousand taels of silver left in her family, and that she had lost a lot of money in business because of the targeting of the Zhou family.
He had no choice but to rent out the shop at a low price. His family was already struggling to make ends meet, and his four concubines were almost four months pregnant.
His younger sister Chu Bilian also wants to discuss marriage, but now the family can't even afford the dowry, so they need money. He should go and coax Luo Chen back as soon as possible, and they can talk about the future later.
While waiting for Mu Xiu, Chu Xinghe took a boat to Luo Chen's hometown early in the morning. After arriving, he went to pay a visit to the Zhou family. The head of the Zhou family met him, but he did not have a good look on his face.
Because Luo Chen had already imitated his brother's handwriting to tell the clan leader the whole story, and emphasized the Chu family's attempt to seize the Zhou family's property.
Therefore, in the eyes of Patriarch Zhou, Chu Xinghe’s arrival meant that the Chu family was trying to seize the Zhou family’s property.
The clan leader's wife was also listening from behind. She heard that although Chu Xinghe came to apologize, he had a look of contempt on his face.
He implicitly blamed the aunt of the Zhou family for being unvirtuous and unfilial to her parents-in-law.
He was so angry that he started cursing on the spot.
"Mr. Chu, you are so arrogant. How dare you blame my grandmother, the Zhou family, for not being virtuous?"
Chu Xinghe saw that it was a woman, and his face was a little embarrassed: "I told the truth."
"Oh, the truth. Then let me ask you, why has my eldest aunt remained a virgin for more than a month after marrying you? Is it because your thing is useless?"
The clan leader's wife said this bluntly, and even the clan leader sprayed out the water in his cup after hearing this, and was glared at by the clan leader's wife.
Chu Xinghe blushed: "You, are vulgar."
"I'm vulgar? That's better than some hypocritical people. Can you explain why the four concubines in your room got pregnant one after another, but your wife is still a virgin?
Please explain to me why?
You still say that my Zhou family is slandering you, but don’t you look at what you have done? Which family brings a new daughter-in-law home not to have children?
You guys are so good, you married her and took her home without caring about her."
"I..." Chu Xinghe really couldn't explain anything.
"You really thought you were the only smart family, who do you think are stupid?
You are a young master from an official family and have read so many books, so how can you have such a vicious mind?
You are a waste. You can't even support yourself, yet you come here to steal my Zhou family's wealth.
You have really read too much, how can the court dare to employ someone like you? "
The clan leader's wife was so angry that Chu Xinghe was scolded so much that he couldn't sit still anymore, so he just stood up and left.
I never wanted to come here again, so I went back to the inn, picked up my bag and went back to Jiangnan Academy.
After Luo Chen found out, he gave a lot of gold and silver jewelry to the clan leader's wife.
