Chapter 4 The Battle for the Jade Bracelet

"Passed down from the ancestors?" Wang's face was full of surprise, and she turned to look at Zhao Yi with blank eyes, "Good old man, I have been married to your Zhao family for more than ten years, and I have never heard you mention that it was passed down from the ancestors." What rare treasures have you ever lived? You should figure it out, this little Sao Fox’s surname is Nan, not Zhao, and my Mingda is the only lifeblood of your Zhao family!”

As she said, Wang stepped forward with her hips twisted, grabbed Nan Yan's left arm and was about to pull down the carved jade bracelet.

Nan Yan refused, and stretched her left hand tightly, making it difficult for Wang to take it off.

"Let go, you crazy woman, this is mine, why should I give it to you?" Nan Yan was furious, trying her best to protect the jade bracelet on her wrist.You must know that once Nan Yan traveled from the 21st century to this poor place where she was not familiar with, this jade bracelet was the only sustenance for her to miss her family in her previous life.

"How dare you call my mother a crazy woman! If she didn't give it up, I chopped off her hand!" Zhao Mingda, who was watching the excitement, added fuel to the fire.

Mrs. Wang replied without looking back, "Chop your pumpkin! After chopping off her hand, how can you explain to Mr. Dai's parents in the west of the city, you stupid son!"

"Enough!" These two words came from the simple and honest Zhao Yi, the tone was not so strong, but it was much louder than usual.

It was the first time Wang saw Zhao Yi speak like this, he was a little surprised, but it was not shocking.

Zhao Yi didn't know where the jade bracelet on Nanyan's wrist came from, but her daughter swore to protect it, which proved to be very important to her.

Zhao Yi frowned, and said helplessly, "Nan Yan is going to marry the wealthy Dai family, and you two will be able to follow suit in the future, so why bother to take away Nan Yan's personal belongings? The bracelet is not worth a lot of money, I bought it for Yan'er at the counterfeit stall in the market. Yan'er has never seen her mother since she was a child, so I used it to show her how to think about others."

After hearing what the old man said, Mrs. Wang immediately stopped fighting for the jade bracelet, and dusted her palm with the handkerchief in disgust, "Oh, it's a fake bracelet after a long time of trouble!"

Standing aside, Zhao Mingda also shook his head in disgust, "It turned out to be a fake, which made me happy for nothing, thinking that I could use the pawn shop for some money and go to the village to gamble." He whispered to himself.

Nan Yan knew that Zhao Yi's words were out of good intentions to save her from the siege, she still tightly clutched her jade bracelet and looked up at Wang's mother and son.

"Go, get out of here!" Mrs. Wang yelled at Zhao Yi in a sharp voice, and then looked at Zhao Mingda, "Mingda, until this little coquettish fox gets married, I will rely on you to guard this house every step of the way. Don't worry, after it's done, Mother will definitely not treat you badly."

"Yes, mother, don't worry! With me, Zhao Mingda, still afraid that this unarmed little girl will escape?" Zhao Mingda patted his chest and assured.

Just like that, the honest old man Zhao Yi was taken out by the savage Wang, and was scolded by Wang for a long time in the next room, accusing him of hiding private money and buying fake bracelets for Nan Yan, the voice So big that neighbors can hear it clearly.Mrs. Wang would never allow Nan Yan to get any benefits from this family, even if it was a cheap fake bracelet, it would cost a few copper coins to buy it.

Even if Nan Yan promised Zhao Yi to escape from here just now, she would not run far before being chased back by Zhao Mingda.Now if she wants to escape from here, she still has to rely on herself, Nan Yan thought.

Nan Yan sat back on the kang, closed her eyes and thought about how to escape from here.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, the sun had just risen in the east, and the Dai family couldn't wait to send someone to bring a generous gift money and a bright red wedding dress of high-quality fabric.One day later, Nan Yan will put on her wedding dress and sit in Dai's sedan chair.

On this day, Nan Yan thought about it all but did not think of a good way to escape.Because of severe starvation for a long time, her body really couldn't support how far she could escape.In a blink of an eye, it was dark again, and the day passed quietly again.

Nan Yan was pacing back and forth in the thatched hut when she suddenly heard a strong smell of alcohol wafting from outside the thatched hut.

It turned out that Zhao Mingda was too bored to guard the gate, so he asked someone to buy a jug of wine at the village head to pass the time of the boring guard.

While drinking, Zhao Mingda sang in tune.Nan Yan thought, this must be a state of drunkenness.

With an idea, Nan Yan walked to the door of the thatched cottage, and said softly to Zhao Mingda: "Brother Mingda, I'm going to get married tomorrow. After all these years, we are also a family. Come in and sit down with me and talk." Well, it will be difficult for us to see each other again in the future."

When Zhao Mingda heard this, he was both surprised and happy, thinking how could Nan Yan's attitude have changed 180 degrees?It is estimated that he has been locked up in the thatched cottage for a long time, so accept his fate!

Holding the jug, he got up and dusted off the dust, opened the door, and walked in cheerfully.

"Yan'er, have you figured it out? That's right! Who will you marry in this life? What's more, you are going to marry a big salt merchant in the west of Yangzhou City. When you pass the door tomorrow, you will be the young lady of the Dai family. Don't worry about food and clothing, and enjoy the glory and wealth!"

Zhao Mingda gleefully poured a few more sips of wine into his mouth, because Nan Yan was only less than a year older than him, and he had never called her "sister".

"Brother Mingda is right. Elder sister, I should have been reasonable." Nan Yan echoed, pretending to be obedient.

"Come, let me have a drink with my brother, my brother is happy!" Zhao Mingda picked up the small wine glass covered with cobwebs on the square table, rubbed it back and forth on his body twice, and poured the wine in the pot.

Nan Yan felt disgusted in her throat, and almost didn't spit it out.The wine glass was already dirty, but when it rubbed against his stinky body, it became even more filthy.It's disgusting to look at, let alone drink.

Nan Yan smiled and took the glass of wine.

"Come, have a drink with my younger brother! My mother said, drink to warm my stomach, and I will get drunk if I drink too much. I can only drink half a pot, and my mother will scold me if I drink too much!"

Although Zhao Mingda is a thoughtless person who loves money and gambling, he still respects his parents very much.Especially since the mother is still a tigress, she is even more in awe of her.

Nan Yan nodded, raised the wine glass to her pink lips, covered it with her long sleeves, and pretended to take a sip, but it was not.

"Brother Mingda, now I have made up my mind, and I am willing to marry the Dai family in the east of Yangzhou City. This is a great thing for me and the Zhao family. Why don't you have a few more drinks with such a happy event? Even if you let me go today, I won't go. Look, my wedding dress is already on, do you think I'm pretty?"

The clever Nan Yan hurriedly put on the bright red fine brocade wedding dress before calling Zhao Mingda into the house.To show Zhao Mingda that he already has a clear mind, so he doesn't need to worry about her desire to run away.

Following Nan Yan's words, Zhao Mingda carefully looked at her from head to toe while holding the jug.

The wedding dress is exquisite in workmanship, the fabric is smooth and soft, and the skirt is embroidered with small blue and yellow flowers.Wearing it on Nan Yan's body, the curves are distinct, and it sets off her already fairy-like face, which is even more exciting.

"Beautiful, beautiful, it's so beautiful! It's really cheap for the Dai family, 50 taels of silver to buy such a beauty, we are at a loss!" The corner of Zhao Mingda's mouth was mixed with alcohol, and it flowed out unconsciously.

"No, brother, I can't help it anymore! Yan'er, we can't take advantage of the Dai family. You and my brother have been together for so many years, and we have some feelings, don't you think? Or, or... today you Just follow me? Brother wants you so much!"

As he said that, Zhao Mingda held the jug and rushed towards Nan Yan lightly under his feet. He opened his arms and wanted to catch Nan Yan.

Nan Yan was startled, this was out of her calculation.But seeing Zhao Mingda's feet fluttering, it is estimated that he is not far from getting drunk.

She moved sideways to the corner, leaving the bold Zhao Mingda in the air.

"Brother Mingda, you are so confused!" Nan Yan reminded pretendingly coquettishly, "If you want Nan Yan today, will the Dai family, a big salt merchant, spare our family? You will definitely feel troubled. Lun was so ashamed, furious, and proposed to divorce. Yes, I did only pay 50 taels of silver for the Dai family to marry me, but in the future I will marry the Dai family, and I will enjoy the glory and wealth. Our family is also my natal family, so I am afraid Will the Dai family treat my natal family badly?"

This pig brain of Zhao Mingda really can't do without someone to give him a timely hint.Even if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you have to marry a woman who is as careful as his mother, otherwise I really don't know how to live this life.

When Zhao Mingda heard this, his confused mind immediately cleared up, "Thanks to Yan'er for reminding me, otherwise I should be confused again."

Nan Yan smiled, took two steps forward, picked up the glass of wine, approached Zhao Mingda, cupped her hands and said, "Brother Mingda, thank you and Auntie Fat for taking care of me over the years. Yan'er respects Brother Mingda."

The thoughtless Zhao Mingda felt relieved when he heard this, raised the wine jug to touch the wine glass in Nan Yan's hand, raised his head and took a big gulp.

"Our Yan'er is the eldest grandma of the Dai family!" Zhao Mingda was overjoyed, and wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeve.

"Brother Mingda, you are really insincere! Have you forgotten? When a woman toasts a man, he will drink a pot. How much did you drink just now! There is still half a pot left in it, so just drink it Drink the rest of the wine, and Yan'er will be satisfied."

Nan Yan actually used the exaggerated way of persuading a woman to toast a man to two drinks at banquets in some areas in the 21st century that she had heard about here.She knew that Zhao Mingda was reckless by nature and had no brains at all, so she simply used this way of toasting that had never been circulated in Shugang Village to fool him.

"Is there such a custom?" Zhao Mingda scratched his head and thought for a while, then responded with a smile, "Okay, my brother promises you, after making this pot, as long as Yan'er is happy to get married, I can do anything."

Zhao Mingda thought that after this night, Nan Yan would be the eldest grandma of the Dai family, and in the future he could take their poor Zhao family to enjoy the blessings, so what was a mere half pot of wine.

He raised the jug, raised his head and poured the clear liquid down his throat.After a while, this Zhao Mingda became dizzy, his feet fluttered, he fell down on the kang, and snored loudly.

Nan Yan tentatively stepped forward and took out the empty jug from his hand, and put it aside.Then he smacked his face lightly with a branch on the ground in disgust, to confirm that he was really drunk and fell asleep.

Zhao Mingda doesn't have any advantages, except that he has no heart, which makes people feel that he is not a big villain.
