The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 18
Meng Zhongjing briefly explained to Lin Chongjiu, and then sent him to invite Liu Shi over.

Lin Chongjiu looked curiously at the girl in white skirt kneeling over there, then turned and ran away.

Only one man and one woman remained in the faint stick field.

Meng Zhongjing had never been alone with a strange woman before, especially when he accidentally looked at her body and thought about it, he felt inexplicably flustered.He didn't dare to turn around, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Girl, can you take a few steps? Let's wait at the edge of the ground?" When he reached the edge of the ground, he stood outside and let her hide inside. It would be better if Mrs. Liu came.

The clothes were torn, and Ru Niang was knotting the clothes on her shoulders. Hearing this, she looked at the man with his back to her in the distance, and then lowered her head, "Benefactor, wait a moment, I'll pack it up and get up and try."

This means that it has not been tidied up yet, Meng Zhongjing felt a little uncomfortable, and raised his foot to walk forward again.

Ru Niang was in a hurry: "Benefactor, where are you going?"

Her voice was flustered, Meng Zhongjing hurriedly stopped, and said awkwardly: "I'll go over there..." He felt that it was even more inappropriate to say it directly.

He faltered, Ru Niang couldn't help laughing, but said quickly and shyly: "There is no need to shy away from the benefactor, the benefactor saved me, I believe that the benefactor is an upright gentleman. Alright, now that Ru Niang has cleaned up, the benefactor can turn around and talk. "

When she said this, Meng Zhongjing couldn't help but turned around.

Ru Niang is still kneeling and sitting, her long hair hangs down behind her, her face is completely exposed.She wasn't born outstanding, but she was fair-skinned, bright-eyed, and had a kind of softness that attracted people's sympathy. In the village, she couldn't compare to the sisters of the Lin family, but she was considered outstanding.When Meng Zhongjing turned around, Ru Niang smiled gratefully at him, lowered her eyes and turned her head for a moment, a strand of long hair fell from the side of her face, looking pitiful.

Meng Zhongjing couldn't help but take another look.

Ru Niang blushed, lowered her head, and asked him in a low voice: "What is Ru Niang's name, and what is your benefactor's name?"

Aware of his gaffe, Meng Zhongjing hurriedly turned sideways and stammered, "I, my surname is Meng."

Ru Niang looked up at him.The man's face was sallow, and he looked like he had been working in the fields all year round, but he was handsome and tall, giving him a very reliable impression.Compared with those high-school boys she had seen, this farmer was worthless in identity, but for a "skinny horse" like her, being able to marry him and live a stable life was far better than being sold around and forced to serve her. All kinds of old men, even died tragically.

She is still innocent, and he looks honest. She is confident that she can be loved by him, and with the hundred taels of silver on her body, her married life will be smooth.As for the contract of sale, as long as she gets the job done, a person like Mr. Zhao will never break his promise.

"Brother Meng, can I, can I call you that?" Ru Niang asked nervously.

Her appearance is not amazing, but her voice is soft like water. Meng Zhongjing became more and more uncomfortable, and replied vaguely, urging her: "Can you try to walk a few steps? If we can, let's go to the ground and wait."

"En." Ru Niang stood up slowly with one hand on the ground.

Meng Zhongjing looked at her from the corner of his eye, he was relieved when he saw that she was standing still, but the next moment he saw her body tilted, and he jumped forward screaming.Meng Zhongjing was shocked, and without even thinking about going up to her to help her, he grabbed her shoulders and Ru Niang threw herself directly into his arms.Meng Zhongjing was the first to feel the girl's plump breasts, and the next moment she put her hands on his waist. Meng Zhongjing couldn't help but want to push her away, but his hands touched her surprisingly thin waist.

Really thin, hard to hold.

His body was stiff, and Meng Zhongjing lost his mind for a moment.

"Brother Meng, I..." Ru Niang pushed him uneasily.

Meng Zhongjing came back to his senses, hurriedly put away those thoughts that should not have been, and hurriedly straightened her shoulders, just about to ask, when he met a pair of tearful eyes.

"Brother Meng, I can't walk anymore, will my left leg be disabled?" Ru Niang looked up at him with a sad expression.

So helpless, it seems that he can only rely on his words, which Meng Zhongjing has never heard from anyone.

He frowned and looked at her feet, helped her to sit on the ground first, then squatted in front of her, and asked her feet, "When did you twist it?"

Ru Niang lowered her head and wept: "It was just now, I accidentally fell when he was chasing me."

Meng Zhongjing was not a doctor, so he could only comfort him clumsily: "Don't worry, I'll ask the doctor to show you later, it should be fine."

Ru Niang raised her head and looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Meng."

Meng Zhongjing didn't dare to look directly at her. After a moment of silence, he suddenly realized that the two of them were too close, so he quickly got up and took a few steps away.The back is quiet, and time seems to be harder to bear without talking. Meng Zhongjing thought for a while, and asked her curiously: "Where are you from? Why are you here?" Judging by the material on her body, she seems to be a girl from a rich family.

Ru Niang was in a trance, and she sighed after a while: "I am from Yangzhou, and my family sent me to Dengzhou to look for relatives. I don't want my relatives to move elsewhere. I want to continue to inquire about them, but I don't want to follow my two servants. As for me, I went back to Jiangnan. I asked around by myself, happened to pass by this place, and met that person just now. I thought he knew, but I thought he would trick me into coming here...Brother Meng, please, please take care of me How about I for a while? I still have some money on me, I will give it to you, please help me, I will never dare to go out by myself again!"

She was about to cry, Meng Zhongjing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you are injured like this, just stay here to recuperate, and make plans later."

"Well, I listen to Brother Meng." Ru Niang lowered her head and handed the purse hidden next to her body to Meng Zhongjing: "Brother Meng, these 100 taels of silver are all my savings, and you need money to see a doctor for me. Take it all from here, and the rest is Ru Niang thanking you for saving your life and taking in, please Brother Meng accept it."

100 two?

Meng Zhongjing was stunned for a moment, surprised that a girl like her dared to take so much money on the road, and then repeatedly declined: "No, no, it doesn't cost a lot to hire a doctor. You should keep it for yourself, and you will need it to find relatives in the future."

Ru Niang insisted on giving it, but Meng Zhongjing refused to accept it no matter what. At the moment of stalemate, Liu's mother and son came.Lin Zhu also wanted to watch the fun, so Liu Shi gave her a scolding.

Meng Zhongjing hurried up to greet her, and quickly explained the matter of saving people and Ru Niang's origin.

The two stood a little far away, Ru Niang looked at them anxiously and blankly, when Liu Shi walked over kindly with her clothes in her arms, she timidly called "Aunt Meng".

Meng Zhongjing hurriedly explained beside him: "Miss He misunderstood, this is my Aunt Lin."

Ru Niang blushed and changed her words immediately.

The Liu family had already sized up Ru Niang.She was about the same age as the eldest daughter, her clothes were a little messed up, and she sat there pitifully.She also recognized that Wang Wu, a gangster who was hated by people in the villages far and near, who almost uttered nonsense to every girl she ran into on the road, and both of her daughters met.Liu Shi hated Wang Wu, and felt more and more sympathetic to Ru Niang, first let Meng Zhongjing lead Lin Chongjiu to the field, and she helped Ru Niang change into her own shirt.The shirt was given to her by Mrs. Xiao Liu at the beginning of the year. Mrs. Liu thought the color was too bright, so she never wore it, but Aju wanted to take her clothes. Mrs. Liu was afraid that the villagers would misunderstand her by seeing the clothes, so she refused to let them.

Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Shi helped Ru Niang into her yard, Lin Chongjiu followed them, and Meng Zhongjing went to the town to invite a doctor.

Ah Ju asked her mother to help her to the sisters' wing.

They are all girls' families, and what they hate most is being bullied by men. Ah Ju sympathizes with Ru Niang very much, and softly comforts Ru Niang when she is crying.Mrs. Liu also stayed with her for a while, and later felt that the little girls could talk more, so she led her son to the room.

After the elders left, Ru Niang let go and said apologetically to Sister Aju, "I've caused trouble for the eldest girl and the second girl. When Brother Meng comes back later, I'll follow him to their house, so I won't bother you any more."

Ah Ju was preparing tea, she was stunned when she heard the words, turned her head to look, and hesitated to speak.

Lin Zhu gave Eldest Sister a wink, then she leaned in front of Ru Niang and asked curiously: "Sister He, Brother Meng said he wants you to live with him?"

Ru Niang shook her head, with confusion in her eyes: "But Brother Meng saved me, and he promised to take me in to let me recover from my injuries. I don't live in his house, so should I bother you? By the way, second girl, Brother Meng is with you guys?" What's the relationship? Why did Big Brother Meng entrust you to take care of me? What about his family? Just now he was in a hurry to find a doctor for me, so I didn't have time to ask."

No matter how harsh the words sounded, Lin Zhu looked at the elder sister worriedly, wondering if she could hear something.

Ah Ju smiled at the two of them, picked up the teapot and said, "Talk first, I'll pour the water." Saying this, he left the room.

Lin Zhu watched the elder sister leave, raised and lowered his eyes, he had an idea in mind, and only told Ru Niang about the Meng family.

Over there, when Ah Ju arrived in the kitchen, his expression finally changed.

For some reason, Ru Niang called her fiancé Brother Meng affectionately, she felt a little uncomfortable, but Meng Zhongjing saved her, why not call Brother Meng?Ah Ju laughed that she shouldn't be thinking about it, but when Ru Niang said that Meng Zhongjing had agreed to take her in, and was in a hurry to find a doctor for her, the sourness in her heart couldn't be suppressed.

In fact, Meng Zhongjing is an enthusiastic person, and it is normal to do these things, but Ru Niang is talking about Brother Meng, her tone is full of trust and dependence, she really can't control herself.

She must be thinking too much, right?Not to mention Ru Niang, Meng Zhongjing still believed in her heart, besides, Ru Niang was not as good-looking as her...

Ah Ju never judges people by appearance, but at this moment, only this thought can make her feel at ease.

After making tea, she went back with her things.

Lin Zhu had been waiting for her, and when Ah Ju put the teapot away, she said jokingly to Ru Niang: "Brother Meng has a relationship with our family, hehe, he is my brother-in-law-to-be, and he will be married in September My eldest sister has passed the door." Ru Niang really has that kind of thought, and she will definitely show her feet when she hears the news.

Ah Ju's face became hot, and she turned around and scolded her: "You talk too much..." Before she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Ru Niang's shocked look. disappointed and sad.

Ah Ju felt like a lump in her throat, knowing that Meng Zhongjing was engaged to her, why was she disappointed?
Lin Zhu was not very happy in his heart, and asked deliberately: "Sister He, what's the matter with you? Does your foot hurt?"

Ru Niang looked at her, quickly lowered her head, squeezed her cuffs, and said after a while: "No, it's nothing, I just didn't expect Brother Meng to be engaged." She raised her head and looked at Ah Ju enviously: "Meng Meng The elder brother has a dignified appearance and a chivalrous heart, the elder girl is really blessed."

Ah Ju hadn't figured out what it was like in her heart, Lin Zhu was upset, and immediately replied: "Brother Meng is good, but my elder sister is gentle, beautiful, and educated. If you can marry my elder sister, Brother Meng is lucky." !" When you ask any villager, they all praise Meng Zhongjing Fuda, but she doesn't say that.

"Azhu!" Aju glared at her sister dissatisfied.She and Meng Zhongjing liked each other, so she didn't like to hear what they said about luck, as if whoever was superior to the other.

Lin Zhu pouted, and lay down on the kang to read a book.She doesn't care what Meng Zhongjing does, but who dares to bully her elder sister, she will show her a good look!
Ah Ju looked at Ru Niang who bowed her head and said nothing, turned around and brought the tea over, and stopped talking after a few polite words, losing the previous enthusiasm.

Ru Niang obviously has other thoughts about Meng Zhongjing, but Ah Ju thinks she doesn't have that much tolerance.Meng Zhongjing... Ah Ju bit her lip, and quickly dismissed that thought, Meng Zhongjing is not that kind of person.

No one spoke, the room was quiet, Ru Niang held tea and looked at Ah Ju quietly.

Mr. Zhao ordered her to coax Meng Zhongjing to want her before July. She didn't say anything else, but when she saw this young lady from the Lin family, she vaguely had a guess. After learning that Meng Zhongjing had a marriage contract with Ah Ju, she became more certain up.

She sighed silently.

To make such a man bother so much, the life of Miss Lin is really good.
