Chapter 202: Buy more people

Chapter 202 Buying another person

Mrs. Chu took the risk and said directly to Luo Wu: "Don't think that if your father and I only have one son, we will be afraid that you will become a bachelor and marry you early. I tell you Luo Wu, it's impossible! We escaped all the way here. It’s a blessing to be alive, and as for whether we have grandchildren or not, we can embrace them or not.”

 So don’t threaten her with being single for the rest of your life, she won’t accept this.

When Luo Wu heard this, his eyes were red, and he choked and asked Mrs. Chu: "Mom, don't be angry. If Sister Xiu does anything wrong, my son will make amends for her. Don't be angry with her."

Mrs. Chu laughed angrily, pointed at Luo Wu and said, "Do you think I won't let you marry Sister Xiu because I'm angry with Sister Xiu? That's wrong, Luo Wu, you are the one I'm angry with!"

Luo Wu was completely confused when he heard this. After a while, he asked: "Mom, what did my son do to make you so dissatisfied?"

 “You still have the nerve to ask me?!”

Mrs. Chu expressed all her dissatisfaction with Luo Wu: "Since we settled down, how many times have you left the village? The tofu stall in the town is in need of manpower. You have the skills to help. , but you didn't go out to sell the stall, and let Huiniang go to the town to work in the house of a girl. You just stayed at home grinding beans, and ran to Gu's house several times a day, for fear that something might happen to Sister Xiu. But you thought, so By guarding her, can you protect her for the rest of her life?"

Mrs. Chu seemed to have thought of something bad, and said with a cry in her voice: "No. Brother Wu, if you do this, you will only harm her for the rest of her life!"

After saying this, Mrs. Chu’s tears couldn’t help falling anymore.

Luo's father quickly comforted her: "My dear, don't cry, I'm here."

Mrs. Chu cried for a while, put away her tears, and continued to say to Luo Wu: "Brother Wu, Sister Xiu is so good. Farmers can't protect a girl like that. You can't even leave the village." How can a farm boy who only knows how to grind beans protect her?"

“Brother Wu, it’s not that I don’t want to marry you, it’s because I know you can’t protect Sister Xiu, and I don’t want you to harm her for the rest of her life, and she doesn’t want you to harm yourself for the rest of your life, so that’s why you haven’t proposed marriage to the Gu family for so long.”

Luo Wu was confused. It turned out that his mother did not let him marry Sister Xiu because of this. He thought his mother was dissatisfied with Sister Xiu.

But…

“Mother, my son can protect Sister Xiu...”

"Shut up, my mother!" Mrs. Chu interrupted Luo Wu: "We came here to escape from the wilderness. You have also seen what happened to the good-looking girls on the road. But you think that robbing girls is the only way to escape from the wilderness. What's the matter? In this peaceful and prosperous age, there are more things to do to **** good-looking girls!"

After Mrs. Chu finished speaking, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

Luo's father patted Mrs. Chu's hand, supported her, let her sit back on the stool, and said to Luo Wu: "Brother Wu, do you still remember that when you were in your hometown, there was a young woman in Yanjiazhuang who was raped by bandits on the mountain? Rushing into the village and snatching her away? Do you still remember that a new daughter-in-law of the Hu family in Tianshuigou was kidnapped by the camp’s general banner and made into a concubine?”

“These two were married women, but because they were so good-looking, they were spotted and all were snatched away.”

“The husbands’ families of those two women don’t dare to let go of anything, and they don’t dare to save the people at all. The mother-in-law’s family wants to save them, but can they be saved?”

Even Mrs. Cui was plotted by her master to marry a poor man like Dashan when she was young because of her good looks.

Later, when I arrived at Gu's house, I was constantly being rubbed by Mrs. Gu. She became haggard and lost her original color, so she was not snatched away.

 But when Mrs. Cui first came to the village, she really attracted a lot of attention. "Brother Wu, don't blame your mother. For the sake of your and Sister Xiu's good, we will not agree to your marrying Sister Xiu until you are unable to protect Sister Xiu." Luo's father said to Luo Wu sincerely: "If you get married and you can't protect her, then the two of you will be doomed for the rest of your lives."

But Luo Wu didn't know that Mrs. Chu would be so excited and would not let him marry Sister Xiu until death, because he had suffered sins and endured hardships.

Mrs. Chu married once, but because she was good-looking, her husband's family failed to protect her and she was robbed. Later, she escaped and was rescued by Luo's father. Luo's father did not dislike her, and the two became a family and lived together for most of their lives.

But she always remembered the sins she had suffered. Seeing that Sister Xiu was so good-looking and Luo Wu wanted to marry Sister Xiu, she was extremely afraid, fearing that her son would not be able to protect Sister Xiu and let Xiu suffer. My sister has suffered what she has suffered!

Father Luo and Mr. Chu kept these things secret. They never let out a word, and they didn't dare to mention it easily. But today, for the sake of Luo Wu and Sister Xiu, both Chu and Luo's father mentioned it in a vague way.

Luo Wu is not young anymore, he is already eighteen years old, and he also knows about Yanjiazhuang and Tianshuigou, so he is naturally scared, but he still wants to marry Sister Xiu, but he cannot marry her in this life, and he feels that he cannot survive. !

"We are doing this for you and Sister Xiu, please think about it carefully." After Luo's father finished speaking, he helped Mrs. Chu back to the house.

Luo Wu was kneeling in the main room until Luo's father pulled him up, and then the two father and son went to the workshop to keep watch.

Luo Wu was in such a mess that he had no intention of keeping vigil in the workshop.

Seeing his distracted look, Father Luo finally relented and said, "If you really want to marry Sister Xiu, you must be able to protect her and not stay in the village every day."

Luo Wu was awakened by Luo's father. When he heard that the Qin family's ancestors and grandsons followed Gu Jin'an to Shangjia Village to find Jiang County Lieutenant and wanted to enter the military headquarters, he immediately chased after them.

That's why he came to Shang's house and asked Jiang County Lieutenant to join the Yamen as an errand.

Yamen are considered officials in the countryside, and farmers are afraid of them. He thought that after working hard for a few years, if he could become the head of the government office and had the ability to protect Sister Xiu, his mother would definitely relent and let him marry Sister Xiu.

Jiang Xianwei heard Luo Wu's words and nodded: "It's good that you want to protect your family."

Almost every yamen servant in the yamen wants to rely on his status as a yamen servant to protect his family.

“Boss, what do you think?” Jiang County Lieutenant asked Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi smiled and said, "Dad, my son asked Brother Wu to work as an errand in the county government yesterday. You still ask like this. Aren't you asking knowingly?"

Jiang County Lieutenant smiled and said to Luo Wu: "My boss has already tried your skills and is a capable fighter. However, if you want to work as a county official, you have to pass the examination. Well, you are just like the two boys from the Qin family. When the Queen of Heaven comes to the county, the old man will take you to the county government office. As long as you pass the examination, you can work as an errand in the county government office."

Luo Wuru heard the sound of nature and hurriedly said to Jiang County Lieutenant: "Kow, thank you, Lord County Lieutenant."

The matter of Luo Wu joining the county government as an errand was half settled.

 Gu Jinli saw that the three of them were going to work in the Yamen, and reminded him from the side: "Grandpa Third, Dad, we have to buy more people, otherwise there will be no one to keep watch in the workshop."
