That day, the originally peaceful village suddenly became lively. It was understood that the woman's name was Xiumei, who came to join her relatives from South . However, when she got here, she found that the relatives had moved away for many years. Seeing that the rural customs here are simple, she decided to settle down.
Xiumei's arrival instantly attracted the men in the village to go there. The single person was excited. It was said that the moon would be the first to get close to the water. Xiumei is so beautiful, as long as she helps more, she might be able to be loved by the beauty!
And those who have already started a family are also regretful. This Xiumei is like a fairy who has descended to the earth. It would be great if she had been married for two years late.
But the only person in the village was not attracted. This person was named Zhang Qiang. He is one of the few craftsmen in the village. The straw sandals he crafted are soft and sturdy, and are deeply sought after by the villagers.
Zhang Qiang is now over thirty years old, but he is still alone. Logically speaking, this forced to sell straw sandals can also transfer some money, so why can't he marry a wife? In fact, it was mainly because of an old mother who was bedridden at his family.
The old mother suddenly fell ill a few years ago, and the savings in the family were quickly emptied. In order to save her mother, Zhang Qiang had to borrow money from the villagers. When everyone saw Zhang's mother's situation, they persuaded Zhang Qiang not to treat it, for fear that it would be in vain for the money that people could not keep.
But Zhang Qiang is a famous filial son. How could he give up his mother? No matter how much money he is, Zhang Qiang will treat his mother even if he sells the pot.
Maybe God was moved by Zhang Qiang and finally saved his mother's life. But because of this, Zhang Qiang owed a large amount of debt. I don't know how long it took to pay it back to pay it back. Therefore, no girl was willing to marry him. After all, no one was willing to live the hard life with him.
Xiumei lives near Zhang Qiang. The two of them looked down and looked up. Soon Xiumei was attracted by the taciturn Zhang Qiang. Since she came to this village, almost all men would approach her, but Zhang Qiang was not cold to her.
Xiumei learned about Zhang Qiang's situation through inquiring about it, and couldn't help but be moved by his filial piety. She didn't expect that there is such a man who values love and friendship now, and she is a person worthy of life.
One day, Zhang Qiang was working at home, and suddenly Grandma Zhu from the village found him and said, "Zhang Qiang, I'm here to report you good news, you can go and have fun."
Hearing this, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, what kind of happy event is it? Could there be a girl who likes me?"
Hearing Zhang Qiang's words, Grandma Zhu nodded quickly and said, "You really guessed it right." , It was Xiumei who fell in love with you, so I asked me to ask you what you mean. You are so lucky."
Zhang Qiang was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that a woman really fell in love with him, and he didn't expect that Xiumei was still as beautiful as a fairy. You know, Xiumei has countless suitors. Even the villages next to her have her admirers, so it's not his turn?
Zhang Qiang hurriedly said, "Grandma, don't joke about me, why did Xiumei fall in love with me!"
Grandma Zhu said, "Why don't you believe this child? Xiumei said that she is interested in your character. If you want to live a life, you still have to find someone who is down-to-earth and responsible, so you chose you. Don't miss it, otherwise you will be too late to regret it."
Zhang Qiang couldn't help but get excited when he heard this, and quickly responded: "Ruozhen," said Zhang Qiang. That's true, then I'm sure I'm willing. I'll come to propose marriage in person when I say it to Xiumei tomorrow."
Grandma Zhu couldn't help but smile when she saw Zhang Qiang's excited look, and then went back to report the message. Zhang Qiang's heart kept jumping around. He quickly told his mother the news. After the mother knew about it, she burst into tears. She always felt that she had dragged her son down, and her son's marriage became a knot in her heart. Now that there is a girl who is willing to marry her son, she feels much more relaxed.
So the next day, Zhang Qiang bought the gift and came to Xiumei's house. Xiumei had been waiting for him for a long time. Zhang Qiang was straightforward and said, "Xiumei, don't worry, if you marry, I, Zhang Qiang, will love you all your life, and will never let you suffer any grievances."
Seeing Zhang Qiang's serious appearance, Xiumei couldn't help but be amused. After a long time, he nodded and said, "I Xiumei don't expect that wealthy life. I just want to have a warm home. As long as we live with peace of mind in the future, I will be content."
So the news that the two were going to get married spread. Everyone sighed that Zhang Qiang was lucky and could not even bring back the beauty without spending a penny. It's really enviable and jealous.
Soon the two of them had a simple marriage and finally got married. After the marriage, the couple was very loving. Xiumei was virtuous, took care of her family in an orderly manner, and was very filial to her mother, which moved Zhang Qiang.
Later, Xiumei also learned to make straw sandals. With the couple working together, their lives are getting better and better. They paid off their debts within a few years. Xiumei also gave birth to a son for Zhang Qiang and named him Zhang Wen.
Originally, the couple hoped that their son could be a scholar, and they might be able to soar to the top scorer in high school. However, Zhang Wen was not interested in studying since he was a child and often sneaked out of the school. Seeing this, the couple broke this idea.
But what should my son learn if he can’t read the book? You can't teach him how to make straw sandals, it won't be a big shot. Just when the couple was worried, Zhang Wen was taken by chance by a gangster and accepted as his apprentice.
Originally, the couple was a little worried, but Zhang Wen's master said that Zhang Wen was extremely talented and could surpass him in a few years. Then he could become a sorcerer who was the only one. His glory and wealth were just around the corner, so the couple agreed.
Zhang Wen was also very interested in this martial arts, and with a strong comprehension ability, he followed his master out for three years and mastered the skills thoroughly. So Zhang Wen said goodbye to his master and returned to Qing'an County.
Zhang Wen came to the city to open a stall, and then performed here every day. Soon the villagers were attracted by Zhang Wen's beautiful magic, and his reputation spread throughout the county.
When Zhang Wen was performing that day, a young and beautiful woman stood not far away to watch. Her eyes were full of shock and curiosity. This was the first time she had seen such a magical magic. Coupled with Zhang Wensheng's handsomeness, the woman's heart felt good for a while.
When Zhang Wen finished the performance, the woman stepped forward and took out five taels of silver and handed it over. Zhang Wen was shocked by the woman's big deal and waved his hand quickly and said, "There are too many ladies, just a few copper coins are enough."
Who knew that the woman insisted on giving it to her. Seeing that she was dressed in extraordinary clothes, Zhang Wen must be from a wealthy family, so he accepted the money.
The woman said, "Will you perform here tomorrow?"
Zhang Wen nodded and said, "I made a living by this, so I will perform here naturally."
The woman couldn't help but look happy and said excitedly: "Okay, that's a matter of determination. I'll come to your performance tomorrow."
After saying that, the woman left with a blushing face. Zhang Wen couldn't help but be stunned for a long time when he saw such a beautiful woman. This was the first time he saw such a beautiful woman, and he was also looking forward to seeing her again.
So in the next few days, the woman would come to see him perform every day. After Zhang Wen's performance, the two would chat, and gradually they fell in love.
After learning about Zhang Wen, he learned that the woman was named Cuilan, and she was the daughter of Li Yuanwai, the Li Yuanwai. Li Yuanwai is very rich in the local area. Many shops in the city belong to the Li family. However, thinking about her ordinary family, Zhang Wen dared not express his love for a long time.
However, Cuilan couldn't contain her inner love and revealed her feelings to Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen did not respond immediately because he knew that it would be difficult for the two families to have a result, so he didn't want Cui Lan to be hurt.
Zhang Wen said, "Cui Lan, I'd better go back and ask my parents about this marriage first. How can we make decisions privately?"
Cuilan nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "Okay, when I go back today, I will tell my father, Brother Zhang is waiting for my good news."
After saying this, Cuilan couldn't wait to go home, but after Cuilan told Mr. Li about this, she didn't expect Mr. Li to scold, "Random, how can you decide the major marriage matters by yourself? Moreover, Zhang Wen's family is poor, how can he be worthy of my daughter of the Li family? This is really ridiculous."
Cuilan hurriedly said, "Dad, Brother Zhang and I truly love each other, so you promise your daughter."
Mr. Li said, "I have already made plans for your marriage. Don't mention this matter again. From now on, you will not be allowed to meet Zhang Wen." After
, Mr. Li turned around and left. Cuilan was sad in her heart, so she locked herself in the room and cried for a whole night. After opening the door the next day, she found that Cuilan fainted.
Mr. Li was so scared that he hurriedly called the doctor. After some examination, the doctor said, "Miss is a disease caused by the heart. I must stabilize the mood of the good lady recently, otherwise I will be afraid of life."
Hearing this, my mother Wang nodded repeatedly. After sending the doctor away, Wang said to her husband: "It's all your fault. I have to say such heavy words to my daughter. If she has a few things, I will never end up with you."
Mr. Li sighed when he heard this: "Zhang Wen is just an infamous martial arts warrior. How can I match my daughter? I thought this would break my daughter's thoughts, but I expected that she was so infatuated."
Mr. Wang said: "The Li family has a great career. Do you still need to look at the family background of my son-in-law? As long as that Zhang Wen is upright, I think she will agree to her daughter."
Mr. Li said again: "But I have already agreed to betrothed my daughter to Fan Chong, how can I regret it now."
Mr. Wang was stunned and followed. Then he pointed to Mr. Li and said, "Then Fan Chong is about the same age as you and me. How can you agree to him privately? I don't care. Please explain this matter. I just want my daughter to be safe."
Mr. Li nodded and said, "I'm not looking at Fan Chong's knowledge. Although he is a little older, his daughter can't suffer any loss after marrying him. Now that this is the case, I will go to the Fan family in person tomorrow."
So Wang told his daughter about this matter. Cuilan couldn't help but feel happy when she knew it. She was much more energetic. Seeing her daughter's happy appearance, Wang felt much more relaxed.
After Li Yuanwai discussed with Fan Chong, Fan Chong also expressed his understanding, so he terminated the verbal agreement at the time. Mr. Li felt sorry and took some compensation.
Later Cuilan told Zhang Wen about this time. Zhang Wen was excited and prepared a generous gift to come to the Li family to propose marriage. Seeing that Zhang Wen was a talented person and was down-to-earth, he felt much more relieved, so he decided to have their marriage.
Soon Zhang Wen held a marriage with Cuilan. It happened that the Li family had an idle house in the city, so the couple moved there to live. Since Zhang Wen became the son-in-law of the Li family, he naturally could not sit in the martial arts warlock anymore. So Mr. Li gave Zhang Wen some industries to him for him to take care of. Zhang Wen worked very hard and soon he managed the store in an orderly manner, which made Mr. Li very satisfied.
That day, Zhang Wen had just walked to the door and saw a nun sitting outside the door. Zhang Wen stepped forward and asked, "Master is here to beg for alms. I'll ask me to prepare some food for the master."
The nun was very grateful when he heard this, so he followed Zhang Wen to the house to sit down. After the nun had dinner, he said, "It's getting late today. I wonder if the young master can let the old nun stay for one night?"
Zhang Wen was puzzled. It's still bright this day, so he came from where it was getting late. Maybe the master is tired from walking and you have to take a rest here.
So Zhang Wen nodded and said, "That's natural, I'll let someone prepare a room for the master."
Since he came into the room, he has never come out again, and Zhang Wen did not disturb him. Unexpectedly, when Zhang Wen and his wife were already asleep, a figure sneaked in as soon as they arrived. It turned out to be the nun who was staying.
I saw the nun walking towards the bed, and there was no sound at all. The nun took out a silver needle from his arms, secretly placed it under the couple's pillow, and then left.
Early the next morning, the nun said that he was leaving, and the couple hurriedly saw him off. Before leaving, the nun said, "The donor is kind and has good luck. Old Niu will say goodbye for the time being. "
Three days passed like this, suddenly a man covered in black spots ran to Zhang Wen's home. The man knelt down on the ground without saying a word and begged: "I was wrong, please give me your best friend and I'll take my life. "
The couple couldn't help but be confused by the scene in front of them. Could this person be mentally wrong?
But suddenly Cui Lan recognized this person. It was Fan Chong, who had a engagement with him. For some reason, he became like this.
Fan Chong said with regret: "It's all my fault first. I shouldn't use that talisman to frame you. Now that I have suffered retribution, I'm responsible for my life. Please take my life to see if I know my mistakes. "
It turned out that Fan Chong was holding a grudge for Li Yuanwai to withdraw his engagement, so he found a black-hearted Taoist priest asked for a talisman, preparing to frame the couple, but unexpectedly he was backfired.
The couple came to the house to check it out. According to Fan Chong, he sent someone to secretly stuff the talisman into the pillow. When he opened it, he didn't expect that the talisman was stabbed by a silver needle. It seemed that a master saved them.
Later, the couple reported to the official and put Fan Chong in prison. Since then, the couple has never encountered any strange things again. They have jointly operated the family industry and lived a happy life.
