During the Ming Dynasty's apocalypse, there was a mute girl named Cui Xiaoyu in Suncheon Province, who played by the river embankment when she was a child, lost her footing and fell into the water, and after being rescued, she could not speak, and LangZhong said that she was too frightened to get "aphasia" and became a mute woman ever since.
Although Cui Xiaoyu can't speak, but her skin is white and beautiful, she is more skillful, and her embroidery skills are exquisite, and the young ladies of the big families in the county are married, and they must find her to embroider a hippa.
Cui Xiaoyu's father and mother are all tenants, and the family relies on a few acres of thin fields to barely feed themselves. Cui's father had a good friend named Zheng Tuhu, and the two of them decided on the marriage of their children very early, but after Cui Xiaoyu fell into the water and became a mute, the two families never mentioned the marriage again.
On this day, Cui Mu rushed back to her home in anger, and she said to Cui Father: "Zheng Butcher is carrying us behind our backs to give his son a blind date." Father Cui heard the scolding and grinned and went out to find Zheng Butcher to ask for an explanation.
After Cui Xiaoyu heard her parents' conversation in the room, she chased them out, but she was still one step too late. Only to see Cui Father and Zheng Butcher wrestling together in the courtyard, Zheng's wife and Cui Mother also pulled each other's hair.
Cui Xiaoyu, a weak woman, couldn't pull away the four people who were anxious at all, fortunately, there was a servant patrolling the street, and stopped them with a loud voice. Father Cui said with anger on his face: "Pig killer, what is wrong with my daughter, you want to get out of marriage?" ”
Zheng's wife jumped to her feet and said, "It is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse will make holes." Your daughter is a mute, what if you marry my son and have a little mute? After Cui Mu heard these words, she was so angry that she took off her shoes and smashed them on Zheng's wife.
Seeing that the two families who had a good relationship were embarrassed about the marriage, Cui Xiaoyu covered his face and squatted on the ground crying. Cui's father saw his daughter and pulled his wife's clothes and asked her to comfort her first.
Father Cui calmly said to Zheng Butcher, "We are all parents, and I know that you are for the good of your son." But by doing so, your daughter was hurt and our friendship was exhausted. ”
Zheng Butcher was said to be landless, and his face was blue and purple. Father Cui took the marriage certificate from his arms, tore it in front of everyone, threw it on the ground, and left with his daughter without turning his head. Word of Zheng Butcher's treachery spread, and no woman in the village was willing to marry into the Zheng family.
Cui Xiaoyu signed a sign language analogy to comfort her parents not to be upset about this matter. Father Cui sighed and said, "I wanted to find you a good mother-in-law, but I didn't expect to look away." Cui Xiaoyu patted herself and pointed to her parents, meaning: I can take care of myself, and my father doesn't have to worry about me.
Cui's mother was aggrieved in her heart, and her daughter could not get this strange disease, and she would be stepped on by the person who proposed her relatives by her appearance. Cui Xiaoyu pretended to be angry, waved his hands, and made a few strokes in the air, which meant that I did a good embroidery, not only beautiful.
Father Cui looked at his daughter Xiuwai Huizhong's appearance, and the original sad mood was swept away, saying: "Yes, our daughter, not only beautiful, but also talented, the Zheng family boy is not blessed, my daughter will definitely look for a good person, let them envy." ”
So the family of three laughed and returned home, and after a few days, Cui Xiaoyu went to the county town to buy needles and threads. She came to the needle and thread stall on East Market Street, where she was discussing a new style with her boss, when an old man with gray hair staggered past her.
Somehow, he suddenly fell down in front of Cui Xiaoyu, and when the people around him saw it, they immediately left this beggar very far away, deeply afraid of being contaminated with something. I saw the old man wearing a dirty linen coat, the pungent smell of sweat on his body, and the people around him covered their noses and pointed.
Cui Xiaoyu looked up, only to see that the old man's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his head was sweaty, which should be caused by hunger. The crowd either turned their heads to each other or stood by, and no one stepped forward to help the old man.
Cui Xiaoyu was kind in heart, and could not see the old man's lonely and helpless appearance, so he crouched down in front of the old man and called out to the old man softly, and after a moment, the old man slowly woke up, and he said vaguely in his mouth: "I am hungry." ”
The owner of the needle and thread stall kindly reminded: "Cui girl beware, there are many bad people in this east street, they let the old man touch the porcelain, maybe blackmail you for money." Cui Xiaoyu shook his head and said it didn't matter.
She first lifted the old man up and helped him to a shady place to rest, she turned to a burnt cake stall, bought a burnt cake for the old man to eat, she took the burnt cake a few times, and stuffed the old man with some copper coins. The old man looked at Cui Xiaoyu blankly, not knowing what she meant.
The needle and thread boss and Cui Xiaoyu have known each other for a long time, and they helped her explain: "Cui Girl is a mute girl, she is worried that you will overeat and eat and hurt your body, so she first bought you a burnt cake to fill your hunger, and when you recover, then take copper money to buy some food." ”
The old man was very touched to hear the words, but he did not expect that the girl in front of him was not only beautiful, but also had a delicate mind, so he said: "Thank you for the gift of food from the girl, your great kindness, I will definitely repay you." ”
Cui Xiaoyu waved her hand, she smiled shyly, and then said goodbye to the needle and thread boss and picked up the bought needle and thread and went home. Cui Xiaoyu, the kung fu of a cup of tea, arrived at the door, and she was about to push the door in when she heard a noise coming from the house.
When Cui Xiaoyu entered the door, he saw the village bully Zhang Er Dog with a few pranksters smashing things in the house, and after a moment, Zhang Er Dog put down his harsh words and said, "Cui Old Man, I will give you three days to collect money, otherwise I will take your daughter away." After saying that, Se squinted at Cui Xiaoyu and took the person away.
Cui Mu trembled with fright at the side, and kept blaming her husband for not listening to other people's words to do business, and as a result, the money was not earned and he owed a huge debt.
It turned out that in order to save a dowry for his daughter, Cui's father listened to his nephew Cui Fugui's words to sell tea to make money, so he found Zhang Ergou and borrowed fifty taels of silver. I didn't think that Cui Fugui was a liar who rolled up money and ran away.
Father Cui knew that Cui Fugui had fallen out with his family, and the fifty taels were not to be taken back from their family, so he had to silently bear the debt, but Zhang Er dog was a village bully, and the original principal of fifty taels had to be repaid with one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
For Cui Father, who lived by a few acres of thin fields in front of the door, he could not afford it at all, and could only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and found another person to borrow money to repay Zhang Er dog's money, so the debt was getting bigger and bigger, and now the foreign debt has reached more than 10,000 taels.
Cui Father did not tell the family about these things, until this month, after Cui Father could no longer borrow money, Zhang Er Dog came to the door to collect debts, and this matter was not known to Cui Mother. Father Cui looked at the devastated home and left tears of remorse.
Cui Xiaoyu silently cleaned up the things thrown on the ground, and Cui Mu sighed and said, "Xiao Yu, you hurry up and leave, go to your aunt, and hide in her house for a few days." This two dogs are scoundrels who have done all kinds of evil things. ”
Father Cui said, "Your mother is right, with us procrastinating here, the farther you go, the better, and you won't come back in the future." Cui's mother immediately went to the room to pack her bags for her daughter, and when it was dark, despite Cui Xiaoyu's objections, she found a trustworthy cow handle and asked him to send her daughter to her sister's house.
Three days later, Zhang Ergou brought someone to collect the money, and when he learned that Cui Xiaoyu had escaped, he became angry and let his men beat Cui Father. Cui Mu stepped forward to block and was also knocked to the ground. The couple was covered in blood, just at this time, Cui Xiaoyu suddenly appeared behind everyone, she saw her parents being beaten, excited, suddenly said: "Stop." ”
The parents of the Cui family were shocked to see their daughter come home, and they listened to their daughter actually speak, and the surprise was mixed, and the husband and wife hugged their headaches and cried. Zhang Er dog was overjoyed, he said: "The dumb girl actually began to speak, the neighboring village Huang Yuanwai wanted to marry a beautiful concubine, just married the cui dumb woman, Cui Laohan, your good days are coming." ”
As soon as the words fell out, a group of servants surrounded the Cui family courtyard, and a young man in official clothes was helping an old man to come to the courtyard, only to see this old man in brocade clothes, and said angrily: "See who dares to move my Daughter-in-law of the Yang family." ”
It turned out that this old man was the person Cui Xiaoyu had saved in Dongshi Street three days ago, and his real identity was the father of Yang Sanjia of Zhixian County. This Yang father likes to travel far, this time out encountered robbers, the entourage was killed, he escaped by chance, penniless had to beg along the road to return home.
On the way home, Yang's father starved and suffered from the white eyes of others, until Cui Xiaoyu appeared, let him see the dawn in the night, the first thing he did after he returned home was to let his son find Cui Xiaoyu, and publicly announced that he would let her be his daughter-in-law.
Father Yang then told his family what had happened in Dongjie Market, and everyone was grateful to Cui Xiaoyu. After Yang Sanjia returned to the county court, he asked people to inquire about Cui Xiaoyu's residence, and then inquired about her personality.
After listening to the prayers of ya gong's return, he learned that Cui Xiaoyu was a mute woman, but she had an excellent appearance and superb embroidery skills, which made him impressed this woman. He also knew that Zhang Ergou came to the door to force debts, so on this day, he took his father to the Cui family.
When Yang Sanjia saw Cui Xiaoyu, he fell in love with this strong woman. At this time, Father Yang said to the parents of the Cui family: "Don't be afraid of the father-in-law, I will let the third class clean up this gang." ”
Therefore, Ya Gong got the approval of Zhang Zhixian and detained Zhang Ergou and others in the big prison, Cui's parents thanked Zhang Sanjia, and Father Yang smiled and said, "This time I came here to propose to my relatives, but I don't know if my family is willing to give Yu'er to my son?" ”
Cui's parents blossomed in their mouths, and Cui Xiaoyu was stared at by Yang Sanjia with a flushed face and shyly returned to the house. Father Cui agreed to the marriage, the two families decided to marry on an auspicious day, and then Father Yang left with his son.
Yang Sanjia returned to Yamen and viciously punished Zhang Ergou and others who bullied his fiancée, and when the people learned that Zhang Ergou had been arrested, they all stood up and denounced his illegal behavior, and in the end, Zhang Ergou was reprimanded for thirty boards, and the family property was confiscated and returned to the victim, and ordered his family to move out of the county.
After Cui Xiaoyu and Yang Sanjia became relatives, they lived a happy life, had a son after marriage, and a family of three lived a happy life. Zheng Tuhu was timid and afraid of things, afraid of offending Father Cui of Dangzhi County, and moved his family away in shame and shock, and it is said that Zheng Tuhu did not see his son marry until his death.
Write at the end:
Cui Xiaoyu is a good girl with good character, and when everyone stood by and watched, she came to the rescue of Yang Father, who met in Pingshui. He was favored by him, not only to help her resolve the crisis, but also to name her as a daughter-in-law.
As the saying goes, good has good rewards, evil has evil rewards, not not unreportation, the time has not yet come. This story made me believe even more that there are many people in this world who know how to be grateful, and made me firmly believe that there are always more good people than bad people.
