Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 25

Chu Rui was indeed spoiled and grew up. She has a brother and a sister above her. She was conceived by Mrs. Chu when she was over thirty. At that time, her brothers and sisters were almost at the age of marriage. His business is gradually on the right track. Mrs. Chu doesn't need to plan carefully for her husband every day, so she puts all her thoughts on this little girl who can learn to speak.When her daughter was 13 years old, Mrs. Chu was reluctant to let her daughter marry far away, so she carefully selected her husband's family in the town, asking about her mother-in-law's temper, the young man's temper, and her sister-in-law. Delayed to sixteen.

There are only a few families in the town with better-off families and young men of the right age. I heard that Wu Ling will inherit the bamboo strip shop a few years ago. Mrs. Chu was also moved. I don’t know about other families. Her family and the Ding family have always had business contacts. , I still know a little about the Ding family. The bamboo strip shop of the Ding family is not just a shop in a small town. She heard from her master that the Ding family also cooperates with the county government.Rather than saying that Wu Ling inherited the Ding family's shop, it's better to say that the Ding family is training a capable assistant for Ding Zhu.

So after getting the news, Mrs. Chu took Wu Ling a little more seriously, and she couldn't help showing a little bit in front of her daughter. Before she had time to think it through, Wu Ling got engaged to Zhang Mu.Mrs. Chu regretted once, like buying something, she weighed it in her hand and thought about it, and finally she was preempted by someone else, and she felt that this thing was really good and impeccable. When she arrived at Wu Ling, So it is.At home, I added a few more words: "Wu Ling has no father, no mother, and no siblings. He doesn't need to take care of his mother-in-law and sister-in-law. In the future, he has to rely on his father-in-law's family for anything. He is simply a ready-made door-to-door son-in-law." !"

After hearing it for a while, Chu Rui only felt a little regretful. When she saw Wu Ling's situation on the day of her wedding, and saw Zhang Mu wearing a bright red wedding dress, sitting on the bed with a crimson face, she felt a sudden feeling in her heart. I was a little stunned, thinking, I should be the one sitting here!

Now being driven out by Zhang Mu like this, Chu Rui became angry for a while, and then she showed her usual tricky and domineering nature. In this town, only the Cheng family, father should be taboo, and other things don't need to be taken too seriously .

Zhang Muzhen was amused by Chu Rui's high-spirited appearance, "Miss Chu, you belong to a family of girls, it's better to pay attention to your reputation, besides, this is my family, you are talking nonsense in other people's houses like this, Don't you blush?"

Seeing Zhang Mu talking about his reputation, Chu Rui's heart moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. His eyes swept across Zhang Mu's body, then turned around, and moved towards Wu Ling, with watery eyes. Looking at Wu Ling blankly, she said, "Brother Ling, I think you should..." At this point, Chu Rui bit her lip and lowered her head, "Understanding" was brewing in her throat for a while, and she was about to spit it out. At that moment, Wu Ling interrupted him and said, "Girl from the Chu family, talk slowly with my wife. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

Chu Rui hurriedly raised her head, staring blankly at Wu Ling calmly passing her, walked to Zhang Mu and said, "Amu, you guys talk first, I'll go and build a nest for the beauty first."

Just as Wu Ling heard Chu Rui's words, he clenched his fists secretly, and even ran to his house to bully his wife.But seeing his own daughter-in-law fighting against each other unceremoniously, Wu Ling felt a little better.Seeing that Chu Rui seemed to want to challenge her thoughts, Wu Ling interrupted decisively, otherwise, it would be bad for his wife to misunderstand her.

After all, Chu Rui is an unmarried girl, and it's not appropriate for me to argue with her. It's better to leave this kind of matter to my wife.

Seeing Wu Ling go out with the beauty in his arms, Chu Rui felt that the steps were wrong. Shouldn't it be brother Ling who listened to him and then showed joy and joy?She has heard that Brother Ling ordered a divorced woman because he had no family property. She is just at the age of cardamom, and the skin on her face can squeeze out water. She is no better than Zhang Mu, who grew up in the countryside. Are village women a hundred times better?Could it be that his posture is so clear that Brother Ling still doesn't understand?She wanted to chase after her and say something, but seeing Zhang Mu's mocking eyes, Chu Rui bit her lip, and angrily withdrew her feet.

It has been half a month since the beauty came here, but it may be that she spent too much effort to locate Zhang Mu accurately, so she drifted outside for so long, and now she found Zhang Mu, smelling the familiar smell, Its nerves suddenly relaxed a lot, and it has been in a state of drowsiness for the past two days. It heard voices that seemed to be arguing in a daze, and tried to open its eyes to have a look.

In an instant, a cat with a snow-white belly and a brown back jumped angrily towards Chu Rui. Chu Rui backed away in fright. When the beauty would suddenly go mad, seeing it hanging on Chu Rui's body, fearing that it would fall off, she hurried forward and hugged it in her arms.

Chu Rui was still in shock, seeing the cat staring at her angrily, its eyes seemed to glow green, she was so frightened that she suddenly remembered that she had kicked a cat before.Not daring to stay here anymore, he glanced at Zhang Mu hastily, and rushed out with messy steps.gone.

After the unpopular person left, Zhang Mu felt a little relieved, no matter what era he was in, bullying was inevitable.Seeing that no one is showing great power today, she hugged it and rubbed her head. The beauty immediately acted coquettishly, her little paws were scratching on Zhang Mu's arm, Zhang Mu held it with his hands, and it simply lay on Zhang Mu's back. on the elbow.

Wu Ling saw that one person and one cat were having fun, so he went to close the courtyard door, and then went to build a nest for the beauty.There are many baskets of different sizes in the house, which are sold in shops ranging from [-] to [-] or [-] yuan, and they are the most common things in his family.Wu Ling took out a medium-sized bamboo basket with an open mouth, a large bottom and a small circle, and spread two layers of rags on the bottom, then a layer of cotton, and another layer of rags, and pressed it with his hands. , I felt that it was still a little soft, and I frowned for a while, and couldn't think of anything else in the house to make a litter for the cat.

Zhang Mu saw that Wu Ling had a layer of cotton wool and a layer of cloth, and said with a smile: "Cats are good at scratching things. Use cotton cloth and cotton, and the cotton wool that is torn every day will not fly around. Mr. Bamboo baskets are not good, cats are active It also likes scratching and scratching, so let’s make it a baby-sized bed with smoother boards!”

Wu Ling felt that what his wife said was quite reasonable, so he put the bamboo basket back into the west room.Zhang Mu saw that the beauty made a fuss for a while and then nodded drowsily, so he spread a thin blanket on the table in his room and put it on top.In the past, the beauty always slept with her, but when she put the beauty on the bed, the husband gave her a quiet look, and then made another small bedding for the beauty.

The two walked out of the room lightly, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhang Mu said, "Master, let's make dinner!"

Wu Ling smiled and said, "Okay, this time I'll help my wife." I've been eating out for the past two days, and Wu Ling cooks the two meals at home, and Wu Ling is also looking forward to his wife's cooking at this time.

Looking at Wu Ling's expectant look, Zhang Mu smiled without saying a word, but felt a little guilty in his heart.

When Wu Ling looked at a plate of burnt braised pork, a plate of charred leeks that looked like withered grass, and a plate of dried tofu on the table, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, and wanted to give his daughter-in-law a treat. At the scene, I didn’t know which dish to start with. Seeing my daughter-in-law looking at me in embarrassment for a while, I mustered up the courage to pick up a chopsticks of braised pork, stuffed it into my mouth, and said vaguely: “Although the quality is different. A little bit, but the taste is still very good!"

Seeing his serious expression, Zhang Mu seemed to be tasting the braised pork, so he couldn't help being a little suspicious. Could it be that his skills really improved.I couldn't help but picked up a small piece with my chopsticks. As soon as I stuffed it into my mouth, I felt a smell of paste. I tried to take a bite, but it was too hard to bite, so I spat it out again.

Seeing Wu Ling's expression of trying to laugh and trying to bite the meat, Zhang Mu couldn't bear it, and said, "Sir, throw up, don't knock your teeth."

Wu Ling still insisted on biting, feeling that it was almost done, and tried to swallow it, but it got stuck, his face flushed with choking, Zhang Mu patted him on the back vigorously, after a long while, the piece of meat came out of his throat, Wu Ling took his wife He took two mouthfuls of the water handed over.Seeing the guilty look on his daughter-in-law's face, she held Zhang Mu's hand and said, "Don't worry, lady, since your cooking skills are not as good as mine, I'll just cook from now on!"

"But, I don't even know how to cook. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage for my husband to marry me?" Zhang Mu looked at Wu Ling and asked tentatively.

"I didn't marry you to cook! I feel that my wife is by my side, so I feel at ease!" Wu Ling looked at his daughter-in-law's nervous expression, and reached out to smooth her loose hair.

"Then why did Xianggong come to my house to propose marriage?" Zhang Mu asked further.She has always been a little puzzled. She thought that the husband did not have much silver, and she might have taken a fancy to Yuanshen's ability to do embroidery and manage the house. But as soon as Wu Ling's small gift and dowry were sent to the Zhang family, Zhang Mu felt Fearing that he was wrong, he raised his head and looked into Wu Ling's eyes. He wanted him to say that it was because he liked her, but also felt a little self-deprecating. Body!
Seeing his daughter-in-law's expectant and tangled expression, Wu Ling felt moved, and said with a smile, "Because I saw your wife dancing wildly with a pole in the street that day, I thought you were struggling too much, and I should marry you back and love you well!"

On the street, carrying poles, that day, didn't it just happen to be me?So, he has always been interested in himself!

The worries and fears of being engaged, as well as the apprehension of replacing the original body, because of Wu Ling's words, at this moment, all of a sudden dissipated like a haze.Zhang Mu put his arms around Wu Ling's waist, and said in a slightly nasal voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, I will take good care of you in the future!"

Zhang Mu buried his head on Wu Ling's shoulder, but felt that Xianggong's body seemed to be stiff.
