Chapter 19
Zhao Yimu immediately grinned, "As expected of my sister, she's so grand!"
While the two were talking, they heard the door bounce against the wall, and Zhao Ermu returned home excitedly.
Zhao Yimu went up to him and hit his chest with a fist, "What's going on? Did you go out and pick up a treasure?"
Zhao Ermu stretched out two fingers and shook them mysteriously, "Brother, don't be so tacky, I'm going to do a good deed."
"What?" Zhao Yimu suddenly raised his voice, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Just you? Then tell me, what good thing have you done?"
Zhao Zhizhi was also attracted by the noise they made and leaned against the door frame to listen to their chat.
When Zhao Ermu saw her, he immediately told her heroic deeds vividly.
It turned out that he had gone out to relax and strolled to the entrance of the village, where he found someone sneakily climbing over the wall of Widow Li's house.
Without thinking, he rushed forward and caught the person. After a beating, the person honestly confessed that he had gone to Widow Li's house to steal something.
Zhao Ermu carried him to Widow Li, who was very frightened at that time.
Zhao Ermu originally wanted to take the man to the government, but Widow Li refused to give in, so he gave up. However, he still threatened that if the man dared to steal, his legs would be broken if he was caught.
Zhao Yimu didn't think much about it, but he knew that his brother wouldn't lie, so he patted his shoulder with relief and said, "Okay, kid."
Zhao Ermu was still a little embarrassed, and touched the back of his head with a silly smile.
Zhao Zhizhi walked over and took the initiative to talk to him: "Second brother, do you still remember what that man looks like?"
Seeing that Zhao Zhizhi was finally willing to pay attention to him, Zhao Ermu was so excited that he quickly racked his brains to think of the characteristics of that man's facial features.
Zhao Zhizhi memorized the key points one by one, turned around and walked out the door.
Zhao Ermu was waiting for Zhao Zhizhi's compliment. When he saw her reaction, his smile suddenly froze on his face.
Looking at Zhao Zhizhi's back, he sighed dejectedly and said in a low tone: "Brother, did I do something wrong again?"
Zhao Yimu was not sure what Zhao Zhizhi meant, but as the eldest brother, he naturally had to maintain the family relationship between brother and sister.
Therefore, Zhao Yimu learned to tell lies with his eyes open on the spot: "What you did is a good thing. Our girl must be so happy that she went to the village to promote it."
Zhao Ermu's eyes immediately became bright, and a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before enveloped him in his heart. Not only was this feeling not annoying to him, but it was also indescribably refreshing.
Seeing that this silly boy really believed it, Zhao Yimu breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't know that he was right by mistake.
Zhao Zhizhi just went to find some gossips and told the story in a more exaggerated way.
Although some villagers have not yet let down their guard against the Zhao family, it does not prevent them from listening to gossip.
After guessing that it was almost done, Zhao Zhizhi rushed home unbearably thirsty.
It's not that she deliberately ruined the reputation, but she remembered that this plot also existed in the book.
Probably the author was lazy and wanted to make a splash, so he incorporated irrelevant people into the plot.
But it was not Zhao Ermu who had the accident, but another young talent in the village who had not yet married.
What they caught was not a thief at all, but Widow Li's concubine.
Seeing that the Dongchuang incident happened and that the man had a family, he and Widow Li conspired to frame the young man.
The young man couldn't explain it clearly with just his mouth, so he had no choice but to use money to solve the matter.Despite this, the young man's reputation was so bad that he could no longer stay in the village and eventually left the village.
A cold glint suddenly appeared in Zhao Zhizhi's eyes. This time, she would never allow the same thing to happen again.
"Sister, you are back. Are you hungry? My second brother personally cooked some dishes for you."
Zhao Ermu was standing guard in the yard, and when he saw her figure, he couldn't wait to greet her.
Seeing his cautious look, Zhao Zhizhi suddenly stopped being angry.
She pretended to be disgusted and said exaggeratedly: "Second brother can also cook?"
Zhao Ermu looked away uncomfortably, touched his nose, and retorted guiltily: "At least I cut the vegetables, and I added the firewood. Anyway, I'm not idle."
Zhao Yimu walked out of the house and saw the two brothers and sisters noisy. The corners of his mouth raised and he smiled happily.
Just as Zhao Zhizhiruo expected, soon Widow Li came to the house with a man with a bruised nose and face to cause trouble.
Before Zhao Zhizhi went out, he stared at his door for a while.
Should the threshold be raised a little higher? Otherwise, anyone could come to her house and step on her.
Widow Li's loud voice could be heard thousands of miles away, "Oh, I can't live anymore, I have no shame in living in this world."
The villagers who heard the sound pointed at her and started talking about her. The good-hearted person asked a lot: "Widow Li, what's wrong with you?"
Widow Li was fabricating facts while crying hypocritically.
"Folks, the old Zhao family doesn't do human affairs. You have to help me judge the situation, otherwise I really won't be able to survive."
Some villagers couldn't wait any longer and said, "You should tell me quickly!"
Not only did the villagers think she was nagging, but Zhao Zhizhi couldn't help but roll his eyes through the door.
I’ve never seen anyone so good at pretending!
She simply moved a bench and sat at the door, listening to Widow Li's story before going out.
Widow Li pretended to wipe her tears, "Everyone knows that my wife died early. How could a weak woman like me survive in this troubled world?"
She pushed the bruised and swollen man behind her out, "Fortunately, my cousin occasionally helps me, otherwise I would have starved to death."
"But, just yesterday..." Widow Li started crying again when she said this, and continued with choked sobs: "The second child of the Zhao family sneaked up to my place for some reason, and when he saw me alone, he wanted to treat me lightly."
There was a sigh in the crowd, and most people were doubtful. It was not that they recognized Zhao Ermu's character, but that Widow Li was already an old lady.
No matter how anxious Zhao Ermu looks, he is still a hot-blooded young man. Even if you want to make a move, you should choose a young man. How can you fall in love with him.
Widow Li was a good person. Although she didn't hear the whispers of the villagers, she still caught a bit of contempt in their eyes.
She gritted her teeth bitterly and dropped a bombshell, "At first I told him nicely and told him to go find a young and beautiful woman and don't worry about me."
Widow Li seemed to have thought of something unbearable, she lowered her head and stumbled and said: "It turned out that he said that he had lost his mother since he was a child, and he felt more intimate when he saw me, and then, after that, he pounced on me."
After hearing this explanation, the villagers almost believed most of it.
The mother-in-law of the old Zhao family did die early, when Zhao Zhizhi was still an infant.
In this way, it is possible that Zhao Ermu really likes older women.
