Chapter 495 Noble People
Chapter 495 Noble People
Village chief Song thought of the water pipes in Chenshui Village. He walked upstream along the stream and found that it was the water pipes in Chenshui Village that were flowing water into the river.
Village chief Song was very grateful for this.
"Brother Shui, we in Songzhuang will remember this favor. If you have any problems in the future, just give us a call!"
Horizontal said:
"We are all from the same village, so it is only natural for us to help each other."
Village Chief Song was deeply moved. No wonder the mountain god wanted to accept Shuifang as his disciple. What a noble person!
In the future, he will also be a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from vulgarity, and a person who is beneficial to the people!
Today, Chen Fengzhi returned to the village.
As the only scholar in Chenshui Village, he thought he would be admired and treated with courtesy by the villagers.
But it didn't.
The people in the village already knew that Chen Fengzhi not only let Shui Miaomiao down, but also cheated her of her money.
Although I don't know the specific details, I feel very ashamed of him.
Especially since the Shui family is now a hero in the village.
Chen Fengzhi lost his father at a young age, and the villagers helped his family a lot.
But after he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he never did anything to benefit his fellow villagers. Even when villagers went to the county town to do business and wanted to find him, he still avoided them.
Chen Fengzhi was met with cold stares along the way and no one paid any attention to him.
His father died early, and he has taken his mother to the county town. Anyway, their land in the village has long been sold, and only two dilapidated houses are left, so he has never come back since he left.
When I came back today, I was naturally thinking about the one hundred and fifty taels that the Shui family got from selling the blind bear.
Although he was now in love with the county magistrate's daughter, the county magistrate also helped him find a clerical job in the county government after he spent some money.
But his monthly salary of two taels of silver was only enough for his and his mother's living expenses. They could not even afford to rent a house, so they had to temporarily live in the old house of the county magistrate.
Although the county magistrate's daughter liked him very much and the county magistrate was relatively satisfied with him, his wife looked at him with a disgusting look.
Who said he was so shabby?
The money he had cheated Shui Miaomiao of was all used for bribery, and now he doesn't have much left. He has to find a way to get more money, at least to buy a house for himself, so he doesn't have to live under someone else's roof and look at the county magistrate's wife's mood.
Thinking of this, he tidied his clothes and hair, picked up a box of cheap snacks bought from the street, and walked towards the Shui family with full confidence.
The gate of the Shui family's courtyard was not closed, so Chen Fengzhi walked straight in, smiling and politely called out:
"Uncle Shui, Aunt Shui, are you home?"
Mrs. Xu was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard the noise, she came out.
When he saw it was Chen Fengzhi, his face suddenly darkened.
"What are you doing here?!"
Shui Youcheng in the main room also came out with a crutch and said with a cold face:
"You are not welcome in our home, please leave!"
Shui Youcheng and his son were framed and imprisoned by Chen Fengzhi, but Chen Fengzhi did not show up in person, so Shui Youcheng did not know that he was the mastermind behind the scenes.
But he knew that this man had betrayed Miaomiao and stole the family's money.
Chen Fengzhi raised the cake in his hand and said:
"Uncle Shui, I came to see you. I know you are angry, but I can't do anything about it. The county magistrate's family is powerful, and if I reject his daughter, I will definitely not end well. But no matter what, I feel guilty towards Miaomiao!"
As he said this, he knelt on the ground and tried hard to squeeze out two tears:
"Uncle Shui, Aunt Shui, I know I was wrong, but I had no choice. I came here today to apologize to the two elders and Miaomiao. If you want to hit me or scold me, I will never fight back."
Chen Fengzhi is a child who grew up in Shuiyoucheng's care. He had a good relationship with Chen Fengzhi's father, which was why they arranged a marriage for each other.
Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
Shui Miaomiao and Shui Pingfang just came back from the fields.
After working for half a day, both of them were so hungry that they went home to eat.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chen Fengzhi kneeling on the ground.
Shui Pingfang's face darkened:
"Chen Fengzhi, you still have the nerve to come?"
Chen Fengzhi knelt down and turned back, saying:
"Brother Fangfang, Miaomiao, you guys are back?"
Gu Xi looked at him.
Tsk tsk, I have to say, this scumbag looks really good.
The villagers here are generally dark-skinned, after all, they either work in the fields or go hunting in the mountains, exposed to the wind and sun.
But this Chen Fengzhi, although from a poor family, had fair skin and handsome features, a perfect pretty boy.
No wonder the original owner was so lovesick; she was mesmerized by his good looks.
The horizontal side snorted coldly:
"You think you haven't hurt my family enough? What are you doing now?!"
Chen Fengzhi said sincerely:
"Brother Fangfang, Miaomiao, I'm here to apologize. I let Miaomiao down, it's all my fault. Don't worry, I'll be able to pass the imperial examination next year. When I'm successful, I'll definitely come back to marry Miaomiao!"
A few days ago, Shui Miaomiao went to the county town and said that she was willing to be his concubine. Now that he has shown this, Shui Miaomiao must be moved, right?
Although he almost beat Shui Miaomiao to death that day, isn’t she fine now?
Based on Shui Miaomiao's infatuation with him, she would definitely forgive him and would also be eager to give him the money in her family.
Gu Xi looked at Chen Fengzhi who was kneeling on the ground.
The rest of the family looked at her nervously.
Afraid she would do something stupid again.
Chen Fengzhi felt a little relieved when he saw Shui Miaomiao staring at him without saying anything and not mentioning that he almost beat her to death and threw her into the mountains a few days ago.
It seems that Shui Miaomiao still loves him deeply, so that's easy to deal with.
He continued:
"Miao Miao, it was my fault before. I was forced into a corner. If the eldest daughter of the county magistrate's family knew of your existence, she would definitely do something ruthless to you."
"Don't worry, I'm just pretending to be nice to her. As long as I pass the imperial examination next year and then go to Beijing to pass the imperial examination, I can become an official."
"By then, what will happen to the county magistrate's family? They won't dare to force me anymore, and I can marry you openly without having to make you my concubine."
The horizontal party was furious:
"You actually still want to make my sister your concubine?! I'll beat you to death!"
Xu quickly stopped him:
"Fang Fang, don't do it!"
Although Xu also wanted to beat Chen Fengzhi, her husband and son had just been released from prison, and it would be disastrous if they caused trouble again.
Gu Xi smiled slightly.
Everyone in the Shui family was nervous.
Miaomiao won’t do something stupid again, right?
Why are you still smiling at this scumbag?
Chen Fengzhi was very proud in his heart, he knew that Shui Miaomiao could not escape from his grasp at all.
It's easy to control her yourself.
Today he will humble himself and tomorrow if he asks her to go east, she will never go west.
Look, he almost killed her before, but now he only needs to say a few soft words to her and she immediately believes in love again.
Chen Fengzhi firmly believes that his charm will always work in front of Shui Miaomiao.
