Everyone Knows I’m a Good Man

After successfully throwing the blame away, Ji Changze began to think about what he would do for a living.

The imperial examination is definitely not good, it is too slow, and the current emperor is a good one, and all the civil and military officials in the court are relatively normal. In the prosperous times of the world, there is really no place for him to perform.

It's okay to stay in the village, but if you want to live a comfortable life, you must not only have money, but also have a reputation that no one dares to offend.

He thought about it, and when he felt sleepy, he went to bed and fell asleep comfortably.

Over there, Zhao Yueniang and her mother, Mrs. Liu, were counting money and talking quietly.

Mrs. Liu went out to dig wild vegetables today. When she came back, she found out what she had done. She hated the second wife of the Zhao family and killed them all. She actually came up with a way to steal money. She also stood up to testify for Ji Changze and protected Zhao Yueniang. Feeling relieved.

While counting the money, she asked, "Yue Niang, have you and Ji Changze made an agreement?"

Zhao Yueniang nodded: "As promised before, we will get married after he recovers from his illness. It seems that the time is almost here."

"As long as it's agreed, you are about to turn twenty-five, and you can't delay it any longer. Even though he is a refugee and his body doesn't look good, just for him to help you today, it's a good thing. Wait until you guys After we get married, I will live in our old house to prevent my uncle from being unhappy. "

Zhao Yueniang frowned: "Mom, what are you talking about? Ji Changze has promised me that when we get married, we will provide for you in your old age. Why are you moving out?"

"You, you still don't understand, which man would be willing to live under the same roof as my wife? It would be okay if your father was still alive. But now I am the only one, and I am too old to do a lot of work. That is white. My uncle may not mind eating dry food at first, but over time, he will definitely not feel comfortable, and it may even affect you. Look at the families in our village who have no sons. Which one is not like this? There’s all kinds of friction when we’re together, so I might as well move out on my own.”

Mrs. Liu patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile: "Mom is already very happy to see you get married. It's not that the old house cannot be lived in. Your father and I lived there for two years, and it wasn't very good either. ”

Naturally, Zhao Yueniang could not agree.

"I don't agree. If you move out if I get married, then I would rather not get married."

Her temperament is usually quite gentle, but when she encounters something she believes in, even ten cows can't pull her back.

Mrs. Liu had no choice but to talk about it later.

Early the next morning, Ji Changze got up. As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Zhao Yueniang working in the kitchen in the yard. When he saw him coming out, he said hello: "Come and eat when you wake up."

I can't blame the original owner who neither wanted to marry nor was willing to leave.

Not only was it comfortable to live here, but there were also people taking care of him. Because his throat was not yet healed, Ms. Liu specially exchanged eggs with her neighbors. One egg a day, all went into the belly of the future uncle.

It can be said that these two people have done their best to the original owner, and they only hope that their kindness to him will be exchanged for the same kindness.

It's a pity that the original owner is a white-eyed wolf.

But not Ji Changze. He sat down and handed the eggs in his bowl directly to Zhao Yueniang. Zhao Yueniang was stunned and looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you going to eat it?"

He shook his head and said he didn't want to eat. After drinking the porridge, he stood up and took the initiative to help clear the dishes and wash the dishes.

Zhao Yueniang was even more shocked.

"No, no, I'll wash you. You haven't recovered yet, so you'd better go and rest."

Ji Changze still shook his head, took the bowl resolutely, looked at Zhao Yueniang with a pity look, turned around and strode into the kitchen.

Zhao Yueniang was stunned.

Mrs. Liu was also confused.

"Mom...do you know what's going on?"

Zhao Yueniang subconsciously looked to Mrs. Liu for the answer. Mrs. Liu didn't know what was going on. She could only think based on her barren memories with her husband.

"I know." After thinking for a while, she clapped her hands: "It must be your second uncle and Zhao Meiniang who bullied you yesterday, and Nagasawa saw it. Men are like this. When you were bullied, he felt You are pitiful and want to take care of you. When I first married your father before we separated, your second aunt deliberately gave me all the work at home. Your father felt very distressed when he saw it and even helped me. Dry."

The more she talked, the more she felt that this was the case: "This must be what happened. Before Nagaze was recovering from illness, he didn't leave the room very often, so he didn't see how the second room bullied us. Yesterday, I saw Zhao Meiniang stealing things and slandering him. Doesn’t he feel sorry for you?”

Zhao Yueniang wiped her hands hesitantly: "Is that so?"

"Of course that's the case. Men all like weak women, especially those like Nagasawa. Although we don't get along much, you can tell from the look on his face when he was slandered yesterday. He definitely doesn't like women either. He is a person who fights and doesn’t like scheming. He is like this to himself, and he is also like this to you. "

After Mrs. Liu made some random guesses, Zhao Yueniang suddenly realized that the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was what happened.

Yes, I had never seen Nagasawa give her eggs and help wash the dishes before.

It started after the second uncle and his cousin came to make trouble yesterday, so Nagasawa... likes weak people?

Zhao Yueniang never did anything bad, but that didn't stop her from using legitimate means to make her life better. She made a mental note of what her future husband would like, while thinking about what she could do to make her married life better in the future. , while starting to clean up the yard.

The Zhao family's yard is surrounded by fences. From the neighbor's house, you can clearly see the scene in his yard. When the old lady of the neighbor Hu family raised her eyes, she could see that Ji Changze was washing the dishes in their home. She immediately Startled.

No man in the village would enter the kitchen. Even though Ji Changze was a refugee rescued by the Zhao family, Zhao Yueniang spent so much money to save him, so she roughly guessed that Zhao Yueniang wanted to marry Ji Changze.

Since he is about to get married, why should he be asked to wash dishes?

She called Zhao Yueniang several times, who was cleaning the yard: "Yue Niang, Yueniang."

When Zhao Yueniang heard the noise and came over, she asked: "What's going on? Why did you let him wash the dishes? Could that man have entered the kitchen?"

Zhao Yueniang smiled softly. Although she was not married yet, she felt a sense of sweetness inexplicably: "I didn't ask him to do it. He insisted on washing the dishes. Maybe he was thanking us for taking him in."

Mrs. Hu was stunned?

grateful? So raw?

Could it be that Ji Changze had no intention of marrying Zhao Yueniang at all?

Otherwise, sooner or later we would all be a family, so what would he be grateful for?

Thinking like this, she felt a little pity for Zhao Yueniang. She spent so much money to rescue her, but in the end she still couldn't keep him. Why was Yueniang's life so miserable?

Ji Changze came out after washing the dishes and saw Zhao Yueniang talking to Mrs. Hu. After thinking about it, he walked forward, pointed to his throat, picked up a branch on the ground and wrote a word on the ground.

Then he pointed at Mr. Hu who was basking in the sun in the Hu's yard and made a please gesture.

"You want our old man to help you see what's written, right?"

Mrs. Hu quickly understood what he meant and hurriedly turned around and called Mrs. Hu over.

Ji Changze continued to write lines on the ground, which roughly meant that he was about to get married to Zhao Yueniang. He heard that Mr. Hu's son lived in the town and wanted to ask if he could apply for household registration in the town.

Zhao Yueniang was listening quietly. When she heard Hu Lao read about getting married, she was slightly startled and subconsciously looked at Ji Changze.

In the past few days, Ji Changze has not mentioned anything about getting married since he was able to go to work. Even though she looked very relieved to Ms. Liu that the matter was settled, in fact she was still not at peace in her heart.

She couldn't feel at ease until this matter was settled.

But now, Ji Changze wrote in person that he wanted to marry her.

Zhao Yueniang felt relieved and had a look of relief on her face, but not as shy as the soon-to-be bride.

She didn't expect her married life to be sweet or good, as long as she could maintain her current life.

After all, life has long since smoothed over her previous expectations for her future husband. She is already very satisfied if his hands and feet are intact and he is the same age as her.

The Zhao family made preparations intensively, and the people in the village had different reactions to the news.

Not really surprised.

After all, the Zhao family is not rich either, so their willingness to spend so much money on Ji Changze's medical treatment must not be in vain.

But they are not very optimistic about this marriage.

"A refugee, his body and bones are still so weak. When I saw him that day, he couldn't speak. He was still coughing. I'm afraid it would cost a lot just for medicine every day, let alone work in the fields."

"Although Zhao Yueniang's family conditions are a bit poor and she can't have children, she has a good look and it's okay to marry a widower with children. But she wants to find someone with such a weak body who can't work in the fields and can't make money. Her future life will be very difficult. How to live."

"She is still anxious. After all, it will be twenty-five soon. By then, the Yamen will decide who she will be married to."

People in the village were talking a lot, and most of them sympathized with Zhao Yueniang.

Originally, she was capable and good-looking, so she shouldn't have to worry about getting married, but she was burdened with the fate of being unable to have children and having children. In addition, she also had a second wife and a lot of troublesome relatives, so she was used to sweeping the door on her own. How could anyone in Xue's village ask for trouble to marry her home?

Nowadays, everyone is sad when a person wants to marry a refugee who has a weak body and cannot lift his shoulders or hands.

When Zhao Meiniang at home heard about this, she became even more dissatisfied.

She hid in her room and lost her temper. She didn't even want to eat. The second wife Zhao could only persuade her: "Okay, okay, who said you can't sell a person for money after you get married? A place like Qinglou still doesn't care if you are a virgin." Are you healthy? Look at Ji Changze's appearance. He will definitely not be able to get off the ground. He will have to take medicine by then. How can Zhao Yueniang be able to support two people by herself? Just wait, their family will definitely not be able to live well until then. The family couldn't get rid of the problem, so my mother sold Zhao Yueniang to get money for your dowry. "

"That will be easier for her."

Zhao Meiniang was still unwilling: "Although Ji Changze is sinister and cunning, he is good-looking..."

"My silly daughter, is she so good-looking that she can make a living? In our village, if you want to marry, of course you have to marry someone who can work quickly and earn money. Look at Ji Changze, who coughs every time he steps. How can Zhao Yueniang expect him to work in the fields? Live? What's the use of being good-looking, she will regret it sooner or later."

Zhao Meiniang thought about it too.

"Mom, what you are saying is true, not to mention that Ji Changze is a sinister person. He obviously stole the things and gave them to me, but he still pretended to be innocent. If Zhao Yueniang falls into his hands, maybe not even the bones will be left. "

Second Sister Zhao sighed: "I've told you so many times that it's useless for you to blame Ji Changze for everything. On the contrary, it will make others think that you are biting back."

Zhao Meiniang: "...Mom, why don't you believe me? It's really Ji Changze!!"

Second Aunt Zhao was too lazy to tell her.

This silly girl doesn't know how to choose the right person to frame people.

Zhao Meiniang: "..."

The only thing that makes her happy is probably that Zhao Yueniang is married to Ji Changze, who is unfavorable and useless.

She was looking forward to Zhao Yueniang's miserable married life.

On the day when he went to apply for household registration, Ji Changze was able to make some noise in his voice. With a hoarse voice, he reported his place of origin to the person applying for household registration in front of Mr. Hu's son.

And the scrapped scholar status.

Mr. Hu's hands shook, his legs went weak, and he almost fell flat.

This, this, this... the refugee picked up by Zhao Yue's family is actually a scholar? ! ! ! !

Even if he is a scholar from the previous dynasty, he is still a scholar! !

When they returned, the news that Ji Changze was a scholar from the previous dynasty spread back to the village. As expected, the whole village was shocked.
