Chapter 268 The Sickly Cannon Fodder in the Period Literature 28
*
The atmosphere in the Tong family is not very good now. Tong Xiaoyun, who felt very embarrassed about Jiang Cheng's incident two days ago, has not left the house and has been sulking in the Tong family.
"Dad, what did you say? You want me to marry Jiang Cheng?"
Tong Xiaoyun looked at Tong Fuguo in disbelief, her hands clenched tightly in unwillingness.
"Dad can't do anything. You and Jiang Cheng were on the ground in public... How many people saw it?"
Tong Fuguo frowned and knocked on the table helplessly. He also rubbed his temples because of the headache.
"But Jiang Cheng and I are not really like that. Obviously... it should be Yun Wu——"
"Shh!"
Tong Fuguo quickly made a gesture to keep quiet and looked at Tong Xiaoyun with disappointment.
"How can you just say that? If someone else hears it and knows what happened that day, it will make things even worse!"
"Dad, I don't want to marry Jiang Cheng. I don't want to marry him! Who the hell is he and why would you want me to marry him?"
Tong Xiaoyun sat down on the ground and rolled around, saying that during the time she and Jiang Cheng had known each other, didn't she know what kind of person Jiang Cheng was?
He is just a shameless and stupid idiot who likes to drink and hang out. His family members don't think he is a good person either.
"I didn't expect Huihui and Qingshan to be so mean. Now the whole village believes what he said, that you and Jiang Cheng are in love with each other."
Tong Fuguo gnashed his teeth and said helplessly to Tong Xiaoyun who was still making a scene:
"The team criticized you and Jiang Cheng for being immoral, and also criticized me for breaking up the couple and not letting you two be together normally, which is why you did this!"
"Wow, dad, I want to marry Xu Xingzhou, not Jiang Cheng!"
Tong Xiaoyun cried and said that at least Xu Xingzhou was not only the leader's grandson but also loved his wife.
But what else is good about Jiangcheng besides the better family conditions?
"It just so happens that all the educated youth in the educated youth compound are going back to the city. Jiang Cheng's parents have come over and said that they want to marry you. I have already accepted the betrothal money. Xiaoyun, just marry him peacefully."
Tong Fuguo said this without allowing any argument. He turned around and stopped looking at Tong Xiaoyun's crying face.
"With your current reputation being like this, who else would want to marry you except Jiang Cheng? Even the people in the next village are laughing at you."
What Tong Fuguo meant by this was that there was no room for negotiation, and Tong Xiaoyun became disheartened.
Tong Fuguo doesn't have much money now, so naturally he needs a bride price.
But Jiang Cheng's family was very shrewd. Since they married her because of a scandal, they gave a huge discount on the betrothal money.

The next morning, Yun Wu was still asleep. Refreshed, Xu Xingzhou hugged his wife, who was still half asleep, for a while.
Then he quickly got up, dressed, picked up his tools and went to the fields to harvest all the rice that had not yet been harvested.
After getting up, Yun Wu steamed some buns, put them in a bowl and put them in a basket. She then added some pickles and carried the basket to the field to give them to Xu Xingzhou to eat.
The crops from the large piece of land that Xu Xingzhou bought had almost been harvested. Yun Wu originally wanted to wait until he finished his work before going back together.
But Xu Xingzhou felt that the fields were in a mess due to the rice harvest and the roads were wet and muddy, so he let Yun Wu go home first.
"Wu girl, this is just after delivering food to Xingzhou!"
Aunt Lin was working on the farm when she passed by, and she greeted Yun Wu with a smile.
"Yes."
Yun Wu was no longer as shy as before. With a slightly blushing face, she smiled openly at Aunt Lin.
On her way back, she heard a few people talking about Tong Xiaoyun, and heard that she seemed to be getting married with Jiang Cheng.
Yun Wu didn't take it to heart. She was living a good life and there was no need for her to care about someone who almost killed her.
"Wu girl!"
At this time, an uncle called Yun Wu. He seemed to have just come from the direction of her and Xu Xingzhou's home.
"There are two cars parked outside your and Xingzhou's house. They seem to be people from the military area. I'm not sure. Go and see what's going on."
"it is good……"
Yun Wu nodded doubtfully, then quickly quickened her pace and walked towards home.
Sure enough, she saw two cars parked one after the other on the empty road outside their iron gate.
The road was not very wide, and the car was parked on the side, leaving some space.
One was a black car, and the one behind was a military green military jeep. Yun Wu thought it looked similar to Xu Xingzhou's car.
A man in military uniform was leaning next to the black car. When he saw Yun Wu, his eyes lit up.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
As expected, Zhou Yi still had that playful look on his face. He quickly ran up to Yun Wu and gave her a standard military salute.
"Comrade Zhou, are you here to look for Xingzhou? He's still in the fields now and will be back soon."
Yun Wu smiled and said, she was wearing a simple white sweater, her temperament was gentle, and her white little face was particularly pretty.
"Brother Xu hasn't come back yet, but it's okay, I'm actually here to look for you, sister-in-law."
"Looking for me?"
Yun Wu asked in surprise. She really couldn't think of anything Zhou Yi wanted to discuss with her.
"It's just...someone wants to see you."
Zhou Yi touched his nose very embarrassedly and said, then he took Yun Wu to a military jeep parked on the side.
Zhou Yi opened the back door of the car, and inside sat an old man with gray hair and wearing a Zhongshan suit.
Although he is a little old, he looks very energetic. His facial features are very similar to Xu Xingzhou. There is majesty between his brows, which gives people a shocking feeling.
"Hello, I'm Xingzhou's grandfather, my name is Xu Changrong."
*
Xu Xingzhou thought that Yun Wu was still waiting for him at home, so he quickly harvested the remaining rice.
He took the things and walked home quickly, but he didn't see his wife Yun Wu, but he saw a black car at his doorstep.
There was also Zhou Yi, who was squatting at the iron gate and drawing circles on the ground.
"Brother Xu!"
Zhou Yi jumped up from the ground at once. Xu Xingzhou glanced at the tightly closed iron door. It seemed that no one had opened it to go in or out.
He frowned slightly and asked:
"Where's my wife? Didn't you see her come back?"
"Sister-in-law, she is back."
Zhou Yi said quickly, then swallowed his saliva and added cautiously:
"But he was picked up by the old man..."
