Chapter 304: So there’s something strange going on here!
Old Man Jin said helplessly, "Oh, my little ancestor! Please don't gloat over our misfortune. Our Zhaocai was arrested and they said they wanted to marry our daughter to him. When he tried to resist and escape, several elderly women threatened to kill themselves. What should we do?"
Shen Ruyi was so angry that she laughed: "Are you so fond of our Zhaocai? Our Zhaocai is a bachelor anyway, and there is such a good thing. The daughter-in-law is given for free, where can you find one?"
Qin Beiyu glanced at his little cousin, and was so angry at her gloating look that he laughed: "Ruyi, don't join in the fun, ask Mr. Jin what's going on?
Mr. Jin, you came down the mountain with Zhaocai Jinbao, why did Zhaocai get into trouble, where did Jinbao go? "
Old man Jin said innocently, "Because Zhaocai and I left together. After Jinbao sold the fish, he went to buy eggs and cakes. After Zhaocai and I sold the fish, we went to buy delicious food for the children.
In order to get back for dinner as soon as possible, we split into two groups. Zhaocai and I walked along the street. Unexpectedly, when we just arrived at the market, we met a woman. The woman bumped into Zhaocai, looked at Zhaocai for a while and then ran away. After a while, a group of villagers surrounded us. They tied Zhaocai up with red silk and said that he and the girl from the Zhang family were destined to be together for three lives.
An old man claimed to be the patriarch of the Zhang family. He ordered Zhaocai to be tied up and taken back to be the son-in-law of the Zhang family! "
Shen Ruyi's eyes widened: "It turns out that the girl from the Zhang family couldn't get married, so she came to our family to bring fortune. I don't know if the girl from the Zhang family is pretty or not?"
Old Man Jin said anxiously, "The daughter of the Zhang family is very pretty, I have seen her, but our Zhaocai is not willing to marry her! Our Zhaocai said that he has a crush on someone, and he is waiting to finish this errand and go home, and let you, the young county lady, decide on his wife. How can he become someone else's son-in-law halfway through?"
Qin Beiyu nodded and said, "Zhaocai really can't be a live-in son-in-law here. We still have to go to the Southern Xinjiang Worm Valley. Zhaocai can help drive and take care of the children. He is an important member of our team. How can we leave him here as a live-in son-in-law?"
Shen Ruyi suppressed her smile and said seriously: "Well, I know all this, I was just joking... Let's go, let's eat first, and then take the children with us, cousin, and go down the mountain to see who wants to capture Zhaocai and make him their son-in-law. It's really surprising that there are still such people who kidnap brides in this day and age!
Zhaocai has been with me for so many years, how can I just watch him get robbed of his money and raped?"
"Puchi! Hahahaha... Young Madam, you don't know that the family tied up Zhaocai with red silk, and Zhaocai cannot use force to hit the elderly and women. Our Zhaocai is a strong man, and it would be a crime if he pushed down a woman or child!
He winked at me and told me to leave. He said he could get out of this situation by himself. I think he was in trouble!"
Shen Ruyi lifted the lid of the pot, and the overbearing fish aroma came out. The children all lay there leaning against Shen Jiabao to bask in the sun. Little An'an was already drowsy, but Xiao Pingping lay there drooling and shouting, "Ci Yu Yu...Ci Yu Yu...Sister Ci Yu Yu..."
Shen Ruyi looked at her children and smiled: "It's time for dinner! Mr. Jin, go wash your hands. After dinner, we will take the children with us. It's okay. Even if Zhaocai is caught, no one can do anything to him with his kung fu skills."
When old man Jin smelled the aroma of fish, he no longer cared about making money: "Well, that child is good. You said that he was dragged away to be a son-in-law. It's really pitiful. I heard from local people that being a son-in-law is miserable. When you eat at your wife's house, you have to squat in the gatehouse and can't eat with the wife's family. The son-in-law here is half a slave!
Oh my! This fish is so fresh and tender... Mmm... It's so delicious... Zhaocai, that kid, is not lucky enough to have such a good meal..."
As they were talking, they started to eat. Shen Ruyi and the children ate slowly. While they were eating, Jinbao came back quickly carrying a bunch of things!
Old Man Jin stood up and shouted, "Jinbao, you're back. Come over to eat. After dinner, go save your brother Zhaocai!"
Jinbao put a bunch of things in front of the car. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile: "I have been looking for you for so long, and I thought you should come back. I didn't expect you to really come back. Mr. Jin, please tell me again, what happened to my brother?"
Old Man Jin swallowed the fish in his mouth and said, "Oh! Your brother... your brother is lucky in love! He was caught and his bride was kidnapped... The girl from the Zhang family is said to be very beautiful and she insisted on marrying your brother and making him her son-in-law!"
Jinbao was shocked: "What? The daughter of the Zhang family captured my brother as her son-in-law?
When I was buying eggs, I heard people say that the Yan family was going to hold a wedding tonight. It was said that the youngest son of the Yan family went to the north to fight and died in the battlefield. The Yan family was a wealthy family with many rules, and they wanted to find a fiancé for their youngest son and let him remain a widow!
It seems that the fiancée’s family is named Zhang…”
Qin Beiyu said solemnly: "What kind of rule is this? My son died on the battlefield, but I still have to marry a living wife to be a widow. What is the purpose of this?"
Shen Ruyi fed the children and touched little An An's head. Then little An An was taken by his brother to play with Shen Jiabao. Shen Jiabao was eating rice soaked in fish soup. He was eating so hard that he didn't even raise his head and didn't care about anything at all!
Qin Beiyu is now a typical loving father. He quickly stood up and coaxed the two children to help digest their food so that Shen Ruyi could eat well!
Shen Ruyi analyzed while eating: "It seems that the Zhang family, who wanted to seize the bride from the rich family, wanted to avoid marrying their daughter to the Yan family and become a widow.
This is really outrageous! The laws of the Qin Dynasty are strict now, how can such a situation still happen? Even if the youngest son of the Yan family died on the battlefield, he would still receive a state pension, so how can this be allowed? Marrying a living girl and making her a widow at home, wouldn't that mean that the girl would have no hope at all in her life?
"My cousin, let alone catching our family's fortune-teller, we can't just ignore it even if he caught someone else!"
Old man Jin ate the fish and the rice vigorously. When he had almost finished, he went over to help coax the child and let Qin Beiyu go to eat.
Little An An was a little sleepy, so Old Man Jin quickly picked up the little guy and laid him sideways, lovingly holding him and stroking him slowly...
Qin Beiyu came back and ate the fish with big mouthfuls. Today's fish was stewed by Shen Ruyi and was very delicious. Several people finished the meal quickly. They also left a large piece of fish and a pancake for Zhaocai and put them in the thermal box in the cab!
Shen Ruyi asked Old Man Jin and Jinbao to look after the house here, because the battery of the pickup truck needed to be exposed to the sun, otherwise the battery would not be safe!
After dinner, Qin Beiyu and Shen Ruyi asked Shen Jiabao to carry the two children down the mountain. When they arrived at a deserted place, Shen Ruyi took the two children and went into the space to take a peaceful nap.
She also brought Shen Jiabao in. Shen Jiabao couldn't be allowed to enter the city, otherwise there would be chaos in the world!
Following the information given by Old Man Jin, the two of them came all the way to the vicinity of the market, and sure enough, they saw that in an alley near the market, a family had started to hang red silk.
There is no need to guess that this family is the Zhang family. They kidnapped Zhaocai. Zhaocai was worried about hurting innocent people, so he asked Old Man Jin to come back and report the news. So he should still be there and hasn't escaped yet, right?
Qin Beiyu frowned as he looked at the situation and said, "Ruyi, why don't we go find the county magistrate first and tell him about this matter, and then ask him to find the Yan family. Otherwise, by the time we go to find the Yan family and then come back to the Zhang family, it might be dark."
Shen Ruyi nodded and said, "Okay, then cousin, you go to the county government office to find the county magistrate. I'll go to Zhang's house to rescue Zhaocai first."
The man shook his head: "Ruyi, I am worried about you being here alone."
Shen Ruyi sighed: "Cousin, what are you worried about? They want to catch the son-in-law who lives with the family. What can they do with a woman like me? Go quickly, it will be slow if you bring me along..."
The man felt helpless when looking at Shen Ruyi. He really had to go to the county government office quickly and couldn't take his cousin with him.
"Then you wait for me near Zhang's house. I'll be back soon after I go to the county government office. I'll tell him what happened and ask him to bring people to talk to the Yan family..."
After Qin Beiyu finished explaining, he flew up to the roof, scaring an old lady passing by so much that she screamed!
"Ah ah... ghost..."
Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched: "Big sister, it's okay... It's okay. We are relatives of the Zhang family. I didn't expect that they would have a wedding. My man used his Qinggong to buy gifts."
The old lady covered her chest with her hands and said with a pale face: "Oh, young lady, you are really good at talking. I thought I saw a ghost in broad daylight, and that person flew away in a flash... Hehe...
Are you relatives of the Zhang family? The little girl of the Zhang family is pitiful. She was engaged to the youngest son of the Yan family. Half a month ago, the youngest son of the Yan family sent back news that he died in the battlefield. But I heard that the Yan family said that the Zhang family accepted the betrothal gift, and if it cannot be returned, they will have to marry the daughter of the Zhang family and go back to be a widow to the youngest son!
We all know that... the eldest son of the Yan family is a fool and can't find a wife. No one near or far has arranged a marriage for him, even though his family is well-off...
It is obvious that their family wants to marry a ghost for their youngest son and let him live as a widow, so that they can continue the family line for their eldest son..."
Shen Ruyi...
So this is where the weirdness lies!
