Wife is Delicate and Beautiful [HIATUS]

Chapter 3

"Mother, little sister is getting older, shouldn't it be time for her to get married?" Fourth sister-in-law thought for a while and said, looking at Aunt Hu who was not looking so good.

Although the other Hu family's daughters-in-laws said nothing, they all stared at Mrs. Hu as soon as the words were said. This is the most important thing to them. They had been raising her well for the past few years, and she is now of marriageable age. There is no reason to continue raising her at home anymore.

It's better to get married quickly and get a large amount of dowry money, otherwise it's hard to say what will happen after a long time.

Mrs. Hu was startled when she heard this, and then said: "I will tell your father about this when he comes back at night, you don't have to worry about it."

Sitting on the bed, Hu Rong was stunned when she heard her sister-in-law's words, and then a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. After all these years, this day is finally coming.

She knows better than anyone what her mother and father think. They have raised her for so many years with good food and drink, and now she must be exchanged for a large sum of money to subsidize the family.

The people in the village obviously don't have that financial strength, but even if the people in the county bought her with money, she can only be a concubine for others and not a wife.

She would rather marry a farmer as a regular wife than marry those rich men as a concubine.

The bright moonlight shone into the room through the screen window. Hu Rong suddenly thought of the day's affairs, and she lost all sleepiness. Mrs. Hu hadn't come back yet, she had been discussing with Mr. Hu, and Eldest Brother Hu and Second Brother Hu were yawning boredly outside the door, guarding the door.

"What time is it, go to sleep," said Mrs. Hu, looking at Hu Rong, who was already sitting up under the quilt, as soon as she came in.

Hu Rong nodded and laid down.

In the county government office, Gu Wenxuan stood in front of the window and looked at the files on the side. He frowned unconsciously. In the past few years, there have been many lawsuits in the county, most of which were related to the Huang family. There was even a lawsuit involving the robbery of women in the street last year. Today, he went to the Huang family's mansion while no one was paying attention. The house was built more luxuriously than this county government office.

It can be seen that the Huang family has done a lot of things to enrich their own pockets in recent years. Songyang County is relatively rich, but the county government doesn't have much money in its books.

For example, there was a flood in the county two years ago, and many villages below were flooded. The disaster relief fund given by the officials was three taels of silver per household, but he went out a few days ago to inquire deliberately, and the most people got was only one tael of silver.

This place is far away from the capital, and the county magistrate can monopolize the power, but the Huang family has been operating here for a long time, and they are extraordinarily high-profile in their actions. Gu Wenxuan has observed in the past few days that almost all of the people who can speak in this county government are related to the Huang family. Not surprisingly, the previous county magistrates were probably corrupt, and they have long been bribed.

The most important thing right now is to find an opportunity to deal with the Huang family, and take the opportunity to wipe out all those who support the Huang family, so that the people of Songyang County will not be oppressed in the future.

However, what Gu Wenxuan didn't expect was that the opportunity would be presented to him so soon before he could investigate it carefully.

There is a local gentry surnamed Xu, whose family is in the grain business. In his hand, he has the evidence and account books that the Huang County Prime Minister doubled the tax and sold the grain.

"You put away your things. It's getting late. I will go to your house to find you at night. When the time comes, you will bring out all the evidence. I will take a closer look."

"yes."

Seeing that it was still early, Gu Wenxuan was about to go for a walk on the street.

"Sister Rong, let's go back quickly. We have already exchanged all the handkerchiefs for silver. If you want anything, my sister-in-law will buy it for you." Sister-in-law Hu came out of the embroidery shop and said to Hu Rong who was waiting outside the door.

Hu Rong shook her head as always. Last night she begged Mrs. Hu for a long time, till she finally agreed to let her go out with her two sister-in-laws for a walk today.

"Then let's go back." Hu sister-in-law walked forward after she finished speaking. Hu Rong covered her face to hide her beauty. On the left side of her forehead, there was a black spot that Mrs. Hu had painted with charcoal from home before she came out.

Hu Rong was a little absent-minded while walking on the road. When she thought about what she overheard last night, her complexion became even worse. She bumped into someone while distracted and couldn't help but look up in panic.

Seeing that the person was handsome, Hu Rong couldn't help but blush.

At this time, Hu Rong suddenly thought that it would be good to be his concubine, why must her mother insist on her being a concubine for Huang Dahu, a rich man in the county. Hu Rong had heard people say before that Huang Dahu was in his forties this year, and he was fat.

"Girl, are you okay?" Gu Wenxuan said, looking at the person who suddenly froze in front of him.

"It's okay, it's okay," Hu Rong said, turned around and left.

Eldest sister-in-law and Second sister-in-law naturally knew about the recent plans in the family. Mrs. Hu told them that if Hu Rong married, the family would be able to buy a lot of land with the gift money of thirty taels of silver.

Hu Rong is just their sister-in-law, and they naturally don't take it seriously, not to mention that after all these years, all the good things in the family have been given to Hu Rong, and it's time for her to contribute to the family.

Seeing Hu Rong suddenly come to the front, the two sisters-in-law didn't think much, and went back with her directly.

It was getting dark, Gu Wenxuan looked at the two sneaky people on the roof, and jumped up with the ecstasy incense.

Before the two of them could make a move, Gu Wenxuan took the incense between their noses, and the two of them fell down immediately after smelling it lightly.

These days, Gu Wenxuan has already noticed that there are people watching at the gate of the county government office, people following him when he goes out, and even people watching from the eaves when he sleeps at night. There is no doubt that they are all Huang Wen's people, and he is the only one that could stare at him so deadly.

At night, the breeze blew through, refreshing people, Gu Wenxuan looked at the empty street and walked directly to Xu's house.

At the same time, Hu Rong was sitting on the bed, looking at her big family, trying not to let her tears flow, and sure enough, as soon as she came back, Mrs. Hu and Mr. Hu informed her of their decision.

Hu Rong sat in the room in a daze, her mind was full of what Mrs. Hu had just said.

"Isn't it because you are a little older? It's okay. You marry and hurry up to give birth to a son, so that you can stand up and have a son to take care of you in the future. Rong, this is all for your own good. After you marry, you can directly live a good life."

"The day after tomorrow, mother will pack for you and send you."

Hu Rong suddenly felt very irritable. She had an intuition that if she went to Huang's house, her future life would be very miserable. This Huang Dahu's wife is a well-known shrew, so how could she tolerate her. The life of the concubines in that mansion is very miserable.

Gu Wenxuan, who came out of Xu's family in the county, was in a good mood. It was even better when he thought of the account book in his hand just now. Now the Xu family has already set off to avoid the aftermath.

As long as it is sent to Suzhou, and if the prefect of Suzhou does not deal with it, then he will directly write to the capital and let the servant of the official department handle it.

When Gu Wenxuan went back, he didn't forget to look at the two sleeping spies on the roof, chuckled lightly, and fell asleep with his clothes together.
