C192 (2/2)

Her daughter had a high opinion of all the men in the village. They were all honest farmers, so she didn't take a fancy to any of them. The previous year, when the Lantern Festival was at the age of 15, they had gone to the city to see the lanterns, but they had actually met eyes with a teacher in the town.

Not to mention that the teacher was a famous figure in the town, he had both talent and a manor. For her daughter to be able to attract his green eyes, Aunt Chen also rejoiced from the bottom of her heart.

As long as his daughter could marry into the city, he would no longer have to walk around the land and grain fields. At least, he would be able to live a comfortable life. At that moment, Aunt Chen agreed to their marriage. They were engaged and engaged. It would happen two years later.

Everything was so beautiful. The unforeseen event happened three days ago when her daughter went to the town to sell her eggs.

”Recently, Shuzhou have not been peaceful. I just told her not to go, not to go!” Hearing the tea shop owner's words, Aunt Chen once again sighed, unable to restrain her regret, ”But she didn't listen, she only said that she sold a few more eggs for money, and bought some good Loquat Ointment s to treat my cough!”

”It's all my fault! It's all my fault! ” Aunt Chen began to beat herself up again, ”If I didn't have this old cough, my lady wouldn't have insisted on going there, and she wouldn't have attracted the attention of those people!”

Just as Aunt Chen's daughter finished selling her eggs, bought a Loquat Ointment, and was on her way back to the village, she passed by a small road nearby and coincidentally met the bandits who were blocking her path.

These bandits had been around for a long time, and were usually just around ten people, bullying the old and weak when it was dark. However, ever since the New Deal came out, the taxes had increased, and many men from the nearby villages had gone up to join them.

Thus, this group of people became even more daring. They even dared to block the way and rob people in broad daylight.

Auntie Chen's daughter was stopped in the middle of the road. Three men teased her, intending to snatch the remaining coins from selling the eggs, and then leave with the jar of Loquat Ointment. Who knew, it was such a coincidence, this group of people's leader just happened to sway over.

The moment he saw the young girl with the jade-like face and the anxious and angry expression on her face, he felt that her beauty was vivid and unspeakable.

He immediately ordered his subordinates to return the bronze coin and the Loquat Ointment to Aunty Chen's daughter. However, he smiled and told her that it was okay to return the items, but he wanted to keep them!

Auntie Chen's daughter was so scared that her legs went soft. She stuttered to tell the man that she had promised him that she would be married in four days.

Unexpectedly, not only was that man not anxious, he was instead happy. He said that it was just perfect, that he didn't even have to use the bridal sedan! Four days later, the man's bridal bridal sedan had walked on this path, he would definitely come here to pick her up!

At the moment, he shot a brocade chicken. He chopped off the brocade chicken's neck and pulled out three feathers, handing them to Auntie Chen's daughter as a betrothal gift.

Auntie Chen's daughter even forgot how she got back. She just felt like her soul had left her body, and it took a while before she finally told her mother the whole story.

To be chosen by a bandit, what else could he do? What's more, this person had already chopped off his head. Didn't that mean that if he didn't listen to his words, he would die?

Aunt Chen could only cry incessantly. Other than crying at home, she would also cry at this tea house's shopkeeper that she was familiar with.

The Yao Xi wasn't far from here. Jin Xiaolou didn't want to cause any extra problems, but looking at the grief and sorrow on the big aunt's face, she really couldn't bear to see it. She took a glance at Gao Lang and saw the heavy look in his eyes.

Jin Xiaolou thus opened her mouth: ”Aunt, why must we wait until tomorrow? When we return today, we will immediately marry our daughter.

When the tea shop manager heard this, he shook his head. ”It's easy for the young lady to say it, but tomorrow, when that bandit sees the palanquin, he might break into the village to kill Big Sis Chen!” You can't just ignore your mother's safety for your daughter! ”

Nan Yang heard from the shopkeeper's tone that there was a hint of scolding towards Jin Xiaolou, and was extremely dissatisfied: ”Didn't you drag along your daughter to seek death? My wife is kind enough to think of an idea for all of you.

Saying that, she turned her body and got rid of Aunt Chen, returning back to Jin Xiaolou's side, looking askance at him.

Seeing that Nan Yang was still angry, Jin Xiaolou lightly caressed the back of her hand: ”It's alright.”

He then turned to the tea shop owner and said, ”Tomorrow, the bridal sedan will go out as usual.”

Seeing that the tea shop owner and Aunt Chen were at a loss, he smiled and said to them: ”I will ride this bridal sedan for your daughter.”

”What?!” Aunt Chen was shocked. ”You, you, you!?” You want to marry that bandit? ”

”What are you thinking!” Gao Lang immediately said, ”My wife is sitting on a bridal sedan, the bridegroom is naturally me!”

Nan Yang rolled her eyes and immediately understood what was going on. She continued: ”We will treat those lawless bandits for you!”
