Chapter 157 Family Origin
Shui Zewen was suspicious of Shui Juren, but trusted Nian Niang. When he heard that it was Nian Niang who arranged it, he stopped asking questions. "Okay, I'll tell my mother and go back."
Then, he jumped back to the yard as quickly as a nimble monkey and briefly told his family about Shui Ju's family affairs. It definitely took no more than thirty seconds.
As soon as Mr. Shui turned around, Shui Zewen ran out and disappeared from the sight of Chu Ci and others in the blink of an eye.
Chu Ci appeared again quietly at this time: "Mr. Shui, look, this is the correct way to deal with relatives when they encounter problems. You and your parents really can't do it."
If it had happened before, Shui Juren would have been in agony after being ridiculed like this by Chu Ci.
Now that some things have been talked out, he actually agrees with them. "As long as my sister can be freed from the Ding family this time, I am willing to do what you say."
This man can still be saved, Chu Ci nodded. "Let's get on the carriage first!"
Chu Ci originally thought that today's trip would just be voluntary labor.
As the carriage swayed, perhaps to ease the tense atmosphere, or perhaps because she had been holding it in for too long, Nian Niang spoke up: "I heard that Ding Jianzhou didn't pass the exam to become a scholar himself."
Chu Ci's pupils shrank when he heard this, but then Nian Niang poured cold water on him. "Unfortunately, there is no evidence."
Chu Ci: I really want to say that Nian Niang understands reversal.
The fact is, because she was nervous, Nian Niang didn't know what she said.
Especially when she arrived at the Ding family and was stopped by the Ding family from seeing anyone, Nian Niang's mind went blank and she chose to respond toughly.
It’s a pity that she is not Chu Ci. Ding’s mother-in-law is even more ferocious. She slapped Nian Niang twice when they disagreed with her.
Nian Niang was dizzy from the two sudden slaps and her cheeks became red and swollen instantly.
She widened her eyes and looked at Ding's mother-in-law angrily, but she had no way to fight back.
"Where is Mr. Shui? It's his turn to appear on stage now. What is he doing?" Chu Ci's voice was loud, but the Ding family's mother-in-law and mother-in-law had no idea that Chu Ci and Nian Niang were in cahoots.
And what about Mr. Shui?
In his memory, the Ding family has always been kind and benevolent. This time he was just a step late and saw his wife being bullied like this.
Thinking of the suffering his sister had endured over the years, his emotions instantly lost control. He directly snatched the reins and whip from the driver, "Gee—"
The carriage rushed straight towards the Ding family's gate.
"Ah--" While the three of them were pulling each other, Ding's mother-in-law was facing the door. She saw Mr. Shui driving a horse-drawn carriage straight towards them and screamed in fright.
On the contrary, the mother is confused.
Chu Ci was quick-witted and pulled Nian Niang away.
Although the Ding family was imprisoned after all this trouble, Nian Niang really wanted to curse! What, is she also an enemy of Shui Dajuren?
But now is not the time to teach my husband a lesson.
Nian Niang turned to look at Chu Ci: "Madam, can you..."
As Nian Niang spoke, she demonstrated the gesture of Chu Ci using a hand knife to knock out his parents-in-law.
Chu Ci immediately understood Nian Niang's intention: "No need, it's better for them to be awake than unconscious."
Before the words fell, before the Ding family mother-in-law could react, Chu Ci stretched out his fingers and tapped the two of them lightly, freezing them in place. The two of them were motionless, like two door gods.
"Monster...monster..." Mother Ding's teeth were chattering with fear.
Chu Ci thought, I thought he was so brave? So this is it? "Okay, let's go in and save him."
At this time, Nian Niang looked at Chu Ci with shining eyes, "Okay."
Chu Ci and others rode on Shui Juren's carriage to clear the way and found the house where A Mei was - the firewood room - without any obstruction.
However, Ah Mei's face was pale and bloodless at this time. When she heard someone coming in, she opened her eyes with difficulty. "Brother, sister-in-law. You are here. I am afraid I can't make it. Chong'er, they... help... help me..."
"We..." Just as Mr. Shui was about to agree, Chu Ci pulled him aside.
He took out the spiritual spring water that he had previously packaged from the small bag he was carrying. "If you want to live, drink this."
A'mei didn't know who Chu Ci was, but seeing her sister-in-law's encouraging look, she tried her best to drink up all the spiritual spring water that Chu Ci fed her.
"There is hope, there is really hope!" This is the doctor invited by Lu Yu who is in cooperation with the "premarital training".
I had only vaguely heard that Chu Ci had a life-saving medicine in his hands before, but this was the first time I saw it with my own eyes.
Even so, he did not lose his professional ethics. Even though he was extremely excited, the silver needle in his hand was firmly inserted into A-mei's acupuncture point.
After a quarter of an hour, A-mei finally stopped exhaling more and taking in less.
At this moment, the Ding family finally couldn't hold back and knocked on the door. "Amei's elder brother, even if the situation is special, there is still a difference between men and women. Can you please come out first? If there is anything, let's go to the upper room and talk."
There was no explanation as to why A-mei was in the woodshed. It was so shameless.
"No need for that. Since the Ding family doesn't want to marry into our Shui family, then we have nothing to talk about." Mr. Shui did not make a mistake this time.
What he said was not very tough, at least that's what the Ding family thought.
"Don't be angry, nephew. This was done by the women in the family. Jianzhou is not at home, and it is not convenient for me to interfere in the affairs of my daughter-in-law's room. This is all just a misunderstanding."
Haha, no wonder Ding Jianzhou acts so shamelessly, it turns out it’s from his family tradition.
Chu Ci sneered and whispered a few words in Nian Niang's ear.
Nian Niang immediately said loudly: "Eunuch Ding, how the women in the family behave depends on the attitude of the male owner. I heard that your son Ding Xiucai has married a merchant's daughter? You dare to say that you treat my sister like this, not to make room for that woman?"
When Father Ding heard this, he thought to himself that it was not good, and quickly explained: "No, no. She is just a concubine, and will never shake A-mei's position as the main wife."
But no matter how he explained, no more sound came from inside.
Father Ding realized something was wrong and thought of his wife, planning to ask her to call for help.
Only then did he realize that there was a circle of people gathered at the door. When they saw Ding's father coming over, they all teased him, "Ding Zhuang, what immoral things did your wife and I do?"
Ding Zhuang always regarded himself as a scholar, so he could not stand such ridicule: "If you can't speak, just shut up. My wife and mother will not allow you, a bunch of peasants, to talk nonsense."
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone shut up.
If you do too many immoral things, retribution will eventually come.
Just when Ding Zhuang was feeling proud of himself, the village chief and clan leader of Shuijia Village, along with all the villagers, rushed into the Ding family holding hoes and sickles.
Most people would help stop it because they are from the same village and ethnic group, but quite a few people would just stand by and watch.
This meant that the Ding family was no match for the people of Shuijia Village. Soon, under the command of the Shui clan leader, the people of Shuijia Village surrounded the Ding family.
