The fierce peasant wife came to make a fortune

Chapter 185
"Uncle Hu, don't be too busy talking. I'm going back to town. I'll come back tomorrow if I'm free." Zheng Butou shouted to the room and said goodbye to the others.

"Catcher Zheng, don't come here if you're busy!" Miao Xiaoyan said.

"Yanzi, go and send Zheng Butou off." Shanfeng intentionally asked Miao Xiaoyan to spend more time with Zheng Butou.

Miao Xiaoyan looked at her sister-in-law speechlessly, and the blind man could see what she meant.

Miao Xiaoyan wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that it would be more embarrassing if she refused, so it's better to explain some things clearly.

Therefore, Miao Xiaoyan smiled at Zheng Butou and said, "Zheng Butou, let me see you off."

"Row!"

Miao Xiaoyan accompanied Zheng Butou and led the horse to the entrance of the village.

When it was almost at the entrance of the village, Miao Xiaoyan stopped and said to Zheng Butou, "Zheng Butou, I have something to tell you."

Catcher Zheng also stopped, looked at Miao Xiaoyan and smiled: "What's the matter?"

Miao Xiaoyan bit her lip, thinking about what to say so as not to embarrass both parties.

"Swallow, if you have anything to say, just say it." Zheng Butou said with a smile.

"Captain Zheng, I think I need to tell you something." Miao Xiaoyan bit her lip and said.

"Go ahead."

"Catcher Zheng, I'm only 11 years old now, and I've been engaged before"

Miao Xiaoyan looked at Zheng Butou, who was astonished, and knew that he had already understood what she meant, so she didn't finish her sentence.

Zheng Butou stared at Miao Xiaoyan for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Captain Zheng, what are you laughing at?" Miao Xiaoyan asked puzzled, was he stimulated?
"Swallow, you think I'm treating you." Zheng Butou laughed again halfway through speaking.

Miao Xiaoyan looked blankly at the laughing Zheng Butou, did she say something wrong?
Zheng Butou wiped away the tears that came out of laughter, with a layer of sadness on his face, and said to Miao Xiaoyan: "Yanzi, do you know? You look a lot like a person?"

"Who?" Miao Xiaoyan looked at Zheng Butou with black and white eyes.

Zheng Butou looked far away, and said softly: "Swallow, you are very similar to my daughter-in-law when I was young!"

"You have known your daughter-in-law since you were a child?" Miao Xiaoyan asked.

Zheng Butou smiled softly, and said slowly: "My daughter-in-law is the child bride of my family. We grew up together since we were young. My wife is two years older than me. She let me and spoiled me since I was a child. My family was poor when I was young. There was nothing to eat. It was my daughter-in-law who went to the mountains to pick wild fruits or wild vegetables for me to eat every day. Then my father passed away and my mother was seriously ill and bedridden. I was only ten years old at that time. I don’t know how to do it, my daughter-in-law goes to the town during the day to help the big family mend clothes and earn money to buy medicine for my mother, and she comes back to take care of my mother at night.”

Seeing Zheng Butou lost in memory, Miao Xiaoyan asked aloud, "Then what happened afterwards?"

"Later, my mother passed away after two years of support. My wife and I also got married later. My wife gave birth to a son for me, but because I didn't have a good confinement, I fell into the root of the disease, and my health was good and bad. A while ago I'm leaving too." Zheng Butou said this, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Miao Xiaoyan saw that Zheng Butou seemed to have a deep affection for his wife, and just now he said that he was very similar to his wife. Could it be that he regarded himself as a substitute for his wife?Miao Xiaoyan was shocked.

Miao Xiaoyan murmured: "Then you, Chief Zheng?"

Zheng Butou smiled helplessly, and said: "Yanzi, don't get me wrong. Although I said you look like my dead wife, I really have no other thoughts about you."
