The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 17
Crying like this, Ah Ju knew she couldn't hide it, lowered her head, choked up and asked him: "What did he tell you?"

Without naming her name, Meng Zhongjing understood who she was talking about, and at the same time was sure that that person had really looked for Ah Ju.

He stared blankly at her.

She stood sideways to him, her temple hair was blown by the wind, and her fair face, which was stained with tears, looked more pitiful and helpless in the pouring rain.

For the first time in so many years, Meng Zhongjing saw his sweetheart cry so sadly.He wanted to hug her very much, but his body was wet, so he could only clench his fists to suppress the impulse: "He said you are the most beautiful person he has ever seen, and he wants to snatch you from me. Ah Ju, you, Did he bully you?" She looks delicate but not cowardly, she would not cry when she fell while playing together when she was a child, if that person just forced her with words, she would not cry like this.

The man's meaningful smile appeared in front of his eyes, and the more Meng Zhongjing thought about it, the more he hated him, "He, I'll kill him!"

Ah Ju was shocked, and she didn't even want to hold him back. When she met his angry eyes, her tears flowed more and more fiercely: "Don't be reckless, him, he just hugged me..."

"When will he hug you!" Meng Zhongjing's voice was raised with hatred.

Ah Ju was even more afraid of him like this, bowed his head and began to cry: "He came to visit that day, my father and the others were resting, I was reading in the study, and he broke in suddenly... He forced me to marry him, but I refused, He just left... Zhongjing, I, I was touched by him, will you dislike me and don't want to marry me..."

Weeping until his heart broke, for fear that he would not want her.

Meng Zhongjing heaved a sigh of relief, although the hatred has not diminished, luckily nothing happened to her, it was still his.

Seeing her tears continuously, Meng Zhongjing felt a kind of joy in addition to his heartache. Doesn't her crying prove that she is not tempted by Mr. Zhao?
Holding her hand tightly, Meng Zhongjing comforted her clumsily but firmly: "Ah Ju, don't cry, how could I despise you? It's because I'm useless that caused you to be bullied by him! Ah Ju, wait, if he dares to move again I think I will try my best to protect you!"

His hands were cold, but they warmed her heart. Ah Ju nodded with sobs, and tears fell on the back of his hands: "Zhongjing, let's bear with what happened last time. We can't afford to offend him. I will avoid him in the future and never stay alone. Zhongjing, don’t provoke him. We will get married soon. I don’t want you to have an accident, and I don’t want to anger him. I have no face to see people..."

What can Meng Zhongjing say?
She kept crying, he let go of her hand, tentatively wiped her tears, paused after touching her, made sure she was not disgusted, finally relieved, and stroked her delicate face with trembling fingertips.

There are few rules in the village, and the two have met several times in private after getting engaged. At this age, Meng Zhongjing is still a man no matter how honest he is, and he will inevitably want to do something when he is passionate. , Ah Ju did not hide, but lusted after his rough fingertips.This is the man she is about to marry. He takes pity on her and acts gently.

She was as obedient as in a dream, Meng Zhongjing's heartache gradually turned into throbbing, and his eyes fell on her lips involuntarily.

There, he hadn't touched it yet, but was tasted first.

"Ah Ju, I, I..." Longing but not too daring.

Ah Ju raised her head in confusion, and Tao Hua's eyes were filled with tears, which was pitiful and even more touching.Meng Zhongjing rolled his throat, moved his hand down to support her chin, and lowered his head to lean closer.With a guilty conscience, he closed his eyes and approached slowly, hoping that she would not hide.

The man's face was getting closer and closer, Ah Ju's heart was beating like a drum, flustered and hesitating, another face suddenly flashed in front of him.Ah Ju's complexion turned pale, and he backed away quickly, tilting his head, not daring to look at him, and after a while, lowered his head slightly to catch the umbrella: "Go back, it's not good for people to see."

Meng Zhongjing held on to the handle of the umbrella.

Ah Ju had no choice but to raise his eyes to look at him, and then his eyes met, and his face turned red again.

With her like this, Meng Zhongjing plucked up his courage, grabbed her hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Ju, give me a kiss, just one."

Ah Ju's head almost dropped to her chest, she shook her head and said nothing.

Meng Zhongjing couldn't help but clenched her hand, it was so small, it was really soft and boneless.He looked at her hands, then at her red face, and said hesitantly: "Ah Ju, he, he seems to have made up his mind to marry you, he, he is rich and beautiful, he is humble and polite in front of your parents, Both your parents and Xiao Jiu like him. In case, in case they want you to marry him, you..."

"What am I?"

All the shyness and tension dissipated with his words, Ah Ju withdrew her hand quickly, and looked up at him: "I have known you since we were young, you treat me well, I am happy in my heart, you came to propose marriage, I agreed, as long as If you don't dislike me, I will marry you with all my heart, and I will not change my mind no matter who forces me. Zhongjing, I will only say this once, if you still suspect that I am the kind of person who climbs the dragon and the phoenix, I can't say anything!"

Her tearful eyes were stubborn and aggrieved, Meng Zhongjing panicked, and quickly apologized: "Ah Ju, don't be angry, I, I'm just afraid, afraid that you will look down on me..."

He stammered, his face turned a little red under her gaze, Ah Ju's heart softened, he grabbed the umbrella, and when he turned around, he whispered: "What are you thinking, I really don't like you, I wouldn't agree last year... "In the end, shy, before finishing speaking, he hurriedly turned to the door and shut the person out.

Meng Zhongjing stood there stupidly, even though the heavy rain was pouring on his head, he was happy in his heart.

"Why don't you leave?" Zhengmei said, but she urged her in a low voice from inside the door.

Meng Zhongjing was even happier, knowing that she was worried about him, so he didn't dawdle any longer. He opened the umbrella and said to her, "Let's go now. Ah Ju, don't be afraid. When I marry you, I will keep you from being bullied again!"

Ah Ju didn't respond.

After waiting for a while, hearing that Meng Zhongjing had really left, she touched the handle of the umbrella that he had held just now, and the heart that had been hanging over these days finally felt at ease.

My uncle has some friendship with the county magistrate. Since that person frequently goes to and from the countryside, he probably doesn't have much background. As long as she doesn't give him a chance to get close, he can't do much.If he really dared to persecute a woman from a good family, his father was a scholar after all, so he could sue the officials, and he didn't expect them to swallow their anger and let him do whatever he wanted.

Now that she has made it clear to Meng Zhongjing that he doesn't dislike her, she really has nothing to fear.

The heavy rain turned light at dusk, and it continued to rain for two consecutive days before finally clearing up.

Weeds grow wildly in the fields after the rain.

Lin Xian only has one day off in the middle of the month and the end of the month. He can't pull weeds if he wants to, and he doesn't want his wife and daughter to do such strenuous work. In previous years, he asked someone to help.Forty yuan a day, four acres of land can be cleaned up in two days at most. Many people are willing to earn this easy money.After the Lin family got married with the Meng family, Meng Zhongjing offered to help, and the prospective son-in-law was enthusiastic, but Liu's family was not comfortable talking about money, so he asked him to come to the house for dinner.

Meng Zhongjing is honest, if he delays the work for two days, he will be able to meet his fiancée twice during dinner at Lin's house, but he is embarrassed, so he finished pulling the weeds in the two acres of peanut fields in the morning.Meng Zhongda was busy working on his own land, and Liu Shi asked Lin Chongjiu to go to the field with Meng Zhongjing. Although Lin Chongjiu also helped, he was a child after all, and it was mainly Meng Zhongjing who did it.

There was only the prospective son-in-law alone, and Liu Shi deliberately asked Ah Ju to serve the dishes at noon.The farm family didn't have so many rules, she was very satisfied with Meng Zhongjing's son-in-law, and was willing to give him some sweetness. When she was engaged to Lin Xian, Lin Xian always found various excuses to meet her, and she knew all about it.

Ah Ju didn't go, but was teased even more by her mother, plus she had a lot of troubles a while ago, knowing that Meng Zhongjing was worried about her changing her mind, so she held back her shame, blushed and served the food and passed by.

Seeing her, Meng Zhongjing stood up nervously.

Ah Ju looked at him shyly, put away the dishes and went out immediately, when he went out, he heard his brother laughing from inside.

The summer sun was so bright that it was dazzling, Ah Ju's eyes swept across the flower bed, where the orchids were fresh and moving, and the corners of her eyes and brows were also full of joy.

It would be great if that person never appeared again, so she could live with peace of mind all the time.

After a short rest, Meng Zhongjing led Lin Chongjiu to the Lin family's Bangzidi.

The top of the stick is already bearded, and the seedlings are straight, taller than Meng Zhongjing.He asked Lin Chongjiu to follow him. The grass he had pulled was piled up, and Lin Chongjiu was responsible for carrying it out. He wanted Lin Chongjiu to relax.

Surrounded by green sticks, Meng Zhongjing walked forward with a bent waist, and occasionally his neck accidentally touched the edge of a leaf, and a red mark appeared.

I was lowering my head to pull weeds, when suddenly there was the sound of hurried running in front of me.

Meng Zhongjing frowned, and listened attentively. He heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by the sound of struggling.He was suspicious in his heart, hesitating whether to go over there, and suddenly there was a man yelling loudly: "I told you to kick! Damn you still kick! Today I will be clear for a while, and then I will sell you to you!" Go to the brothel and tell you to kick me!" The person scolded by him may have been gagged, and there was only the sound of struggling.

Meng Zhongjing remembered that it was a gangster from the next village who had once offended Ah Ju with words.

The sound of tearing silk suddenly came, and it seemed that they were going to ruin people again!

"Wang Wu, stop!" Meng Zhongjing was furious, and strode forward regardless of the stick.

The other party didn't respond, only the heavy running sound sounded again, Meng Zhongjing ran even faster, approached, and saw a girl in a white dress under Wang Wu's shoulder.The girl's hair was disheveled and she couldn't see her face clearly, but most of her shoulders were exposed. Meng Zhongjing didn't look too much, so he ran up a few steps, grabbed Wang Wu's shoulder and punched him.

Meng Zhongjingsheng was tall and burly, while Wang Wu was not short, but he had lost a lot of weight. In addition, he had put in a lot of effort before and fell down with a single punch.Recognizing Meng Zhongjing, he gave a piss, then lay on the ground like that and cursed: "Meng Zhongjing, you'd better not spoil my good deeds, or don't blame me for not..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Zhongjing punched him again, knowing that he was invincible, Wang Wu resentfully glanced at the girl lying on the ground over there, and ran away in a hurry.

Meng Zhongjing wanted to chase again, but a woman's eager sobs sounded behind him, he couldn't help turning his head back, and then froze.

The girl raised her head, her face was finally exposed from her long hair, her skin was white and her lips were red, and she looked at him with tears in her peach eyes. At first glance, he almost mistook him for his fiancée, but the loss of consciousness only lasted for a moment. , except for the eyes, the two don't have any similarities.Just as Meng Zhongjing was about to speak, the girl struggled to get up, and the clothes on her shoulders fell off without warning, exposing her entire upper body in front of him...

Meng Zhongjing turned around immediately, but the white body was still in his mind, and his heartbeat was a little unsteady.

"Girl, I, I..."

"Brother Meng, are you fighting with someone?" Lin Chongjiu's anxious cry came from a distance.

Meng Zhongjing was in a hurry.This situation was seen by Lin Chongjiu, and he turned around and said that not only the girl's reputation was gone, but he was also a bad person.

"Girl, let me close your eyes and let go of your hands. Put on your clothes!"

The girl in the white skirt didn't object, she just stared blankly at the tall figure in front of her.

The sound of Lin Chongjiu's footsteps was getting closer and closer. Meng Zhongjing didn't have time to hesitate. He closed his eyes and walked behind the girl, helping her to untie her blouse, "I'm offended."

With great strength, he quickly pulled it apart, then quickly got up, turned his back to her and said, "I'll stop my brother, after the girl packs up, let's go!"

"Benefactor, don't go!" The woman in the white skirt immediately took the handkerchief from her mouth after regaining her freedom, crying.

Meng Zhongjing paused.

Seeing this, the woman in the white skirt felt at ease, tied her clothes tremblingly and cried: "Senpai, please help me, my left foot is sprained, and I don't know the place here, so I can't go far at all, benefactor, please help me!" , I'm afraid that the person will come again before he has gone far..."

Her voice was delicate, and her crying was even more pathetic.

Meng Zhongjing felt sympathetic, but he had no female relatives in his family, so it was impossible to take her in. Just as Lin Chongjiu came over there, his heart moved: "Girl, you, wait here a moment, I will look for it, and I will let my brother look for it." The female relatives will help you back to the village." He originally planned to let Lin Chongjiu stay here to guard her, after all, he is a big man who can't stay alone with her, but he was afraid that Wang Wuzhe would come back, so he had to change his words temporarily.

"Thank you benefactor, benefactor is willing to rescue Ru Niang, and Ru Niang will obey benefactor's arrangements."

A woman named Ru Niang knelt on the ground with her legs crossed, bowed her head and cried and thanked her.
