Chapter 112: The spoiled Jin wants to marry a husband (23)
Then he said, "If there is anyone who has rescued someone from outside the city recently, it must be the daughter of Magistrate Wu. I don't know what happened to Miss Wu. After she fell, she went to the suburbs to dig wild vegetables."
"Later I heard that she picked up a man by the river and within a few days her heart was completely devoted to him. Now she is crying and making a fuss about marrying him."
The waiter sighed, "Why didn't such a good thing happen to me? Oh, by the way, that man is a cripple, and I heard he is married, and his wife just died. Miss Wu is the county magistrate's daughter, why would she want to marry such a man? I heard the county magistrate agreed, but the man has been reluctant to agree."
"It seems...it seems that he loved his wife deeply and wanted to hold a grand funeral. I heard that the man was from a village near us, and everyone in the village would come!"
After saying that, the waiter shook his head: "If you ask me, that man is just deceiving Miss Wu. If he really loves his wife, he will definitely avoid suspicion and will not live in the Wu Mansion."
Bai Nian and Yu Xiao looked at each other, and they both had the answer in their hearts.
She pouted, feeling a little unhappy. Is this Jia Yifan the son of destiny?
You can still survive this way.
She had read the plot and found that the male protagonist in this world was not him.
If nothing unexpected happens, the original owner will be sold to the butcher by Jia Yifan and be brutally killed. Later, the heroine will be bought home by the butcher. At that time, the hero will act as a hero to save the beauty, and then the heroine will fall in love with him.
No matter how you look at it, Jia Yifan won't be the male lead.
Bai Nian's eyes were filled with depression, and he took a sip of tea listlessly.
Yu Xiao's eyes darkened slightly: "When will the funeral be held?"
"Three days later."
After Yu Xiao and Bai Nian came out of the teahouse, Bai Nian grabbed a few pieces of cloth and prepared to take them back to make some clothes for Yu Xiao.
Of course it wasn't her who did it. After studying with Yu's mother for some time, she found that she had no talent at all.
Although she really wanted to make a set of clothes for Yu Xiao herself, after thinking it over, she decided not to waste such a gift.
When they were about to go back, Bai Nian suddenly remembered something and pulled Yu Xiao aside to ask, "When I came out, you said you had something to do. What was it?"
Yu Xiao was stunned. He didn't expect that she still remembered this matter.
Bai Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
It can't be so mysterious. The last thing to do is to go to the teahouse, right?
She didn't believe it.
Yu Xiao felt a little guilty when she looked at him. If asked whether he had done anything, the answer was naturally no.
But he couldn't admit it in front of Bai Nian, so he could only nod.
Bai Nian curled his lips into a smile, and pinched his waist with his hands: "Liar! Tell me what's going on, why are you hiding it from me!"
Yu Xiao bent his waist, clamped her hands, and lowered his head.
One hand was clamped, and Bai Nian's other hand was not idle either. He rubbed Yu Xiao's arm with his fingertips, making Yu Xiao feel itchy.
With a bitter smile in his heart, Bai Nian finally found a way to control him, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
"Didn't Jia Yifan say before that he was going to sell you to the butcher in his village? I heard that the butcher won't open his shop today, so I plan to beat him up on the way."
Yu Xiao looked at Bai Nian cautiously, afraid that she would think he was rude and fierce.
Bai Nian laughed angrily, "This is the only thing you should hide from me, but I am indeed angry!"
When Yu Xiao heard Bai Nian say this, he became depressed.
He knew that no woman liked a man who used brute force to solve problems, and he had no other choice but to beat him up as the simplest and most brutal way.
Sure enough, Nian Nian hates him now.
"Nian Nian, I..."
"Do you know why I'm angry?" Bai Nian interrupted him.
Yu Xiao nodded, his voice muffled, "I know, I shouldn't use brute force to solve the problem..."
"Wrong! I'm angry because you didn't take me with you on such a fun thing!"
Yu Xiao looked up in horror.
Looking at Yu Xiao's expression, Bai Nian felt that he might have scared him.
She explained, "Actually... I am usually very gentle, right? Brother Yu Xiao?"
She blinked and looked at the man opposite her expectantly.
Yu Xiao's Adam's apple rolled and he nodded seriously.
So, Wang the butcher, who was out on business, was on his way home when someone put a sack on his back, beat him up, and threw him into a ditch in the wasteland behind the mountain.
I heard that later when Butcher Wang was limping back to Shinian Village with his face swollen like a steamed bun, he was beaten up as a bandit and taken to the county government office.
He had no way of defending himself, and when he arrived at the county government office, they somehow found several large knives on him. He was beaten with ten boards and sent to prison.
Of course, this is all a story for later. After Bai Nian and Yu Xiao finished fighting, they returned to Xiushui Village with the things they bought from the county.
Jia Yifan has been very busy during this period. He learned from Wu Yiyao that the captured bandits would be brought to court for interrogation.
Although he heard the rumors and Li Feng was not caught, he still felt uneasy.
After all, he always felt that rumors were not credible, and he would only feel at ease after seeing it with his own eyes.
So he secretly went to the county government office without telling Wu Yiyao. There were a lot of people watching around, and almost all of them were holding rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs. The bandits were kneeling on the ground.
The people around them picked at their faces and hit them, leaving them with bruises and screams.
Jia Yifan stepped back in fear and glanced over, and sure enough, he didn't see Li Feng. He also thought that the younger brothers Li Feng had recruited shouldn't know him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't care what happened to these bandits.
The Bai family hasn’t seen any for such a long time, so it must be a bad time.
He walked on the road and sighed deeply. He felt that it was such a pity that Bai Nian died. He thought he had married a golden phoenix, but in the end, it was all in vain.
Most of the money Bai Nian had given him had been spent, and the only jade pendant he had taken from the Bai family was also stolen by bandits during the chaos.
I don’t know who got the cheapest gift from Bai Nian’s carriage full of valuable things.
Thinking about how Magistrate Wu and his subordinates all disliked him during this period, a dark light flashed in Jia Yifan's eyes.
Could it be that County Magistrate Wu embezzled all that stuff Bai Nian had?
If he were still alive, the person who would most naturally get those things would be him.
Otherwise why would he target him so much?
Jia Yifan, who thought he had figured out the truth, left with peace of mind.
Three days passed quickly, and Jia Yifan seemed to want to prove that he really loved Bai Nian, so the funeral ceremony was almost of the highest standard.
It happened that the weather was bad that day and the sky was gloomy.
In the Jia family's house in Shinian Village, rows of white lanterns are hung, and a coffin is placed in the middle of the main room.
But there was no body inside, only a folded piece of clothing.
