Chapter 1 I'm in a book

◎The fish pond is gone! ◎

It's September in the northeast, and the weather is clear and cool.

The breeze in the early morning blew, bringing a little coolness to people. In the threshing ground of Dongshan Village, people wrapped up their clothes full of patches and lined up in an orderly manner to receive farm tools.

The fat lady standing at the end of the team took out a few peanuts from her bag, looked around for a long time, and saw that there were no members of the Zhao family in the crowd, so she dared to talk about the gossip of the Zhao family while chewing peanuts.

"Hey, have you heard? The little peach blossom of the old Zhao family is really terrible. She hanged herself last night!"

When the people around heard it, they immediately gathered around.

"What?! I didn't hear about it? How is she?"

"Is it because of the broken engagement?"

Seeing that everyone's attention was on her, the fat aunt chewed peanuts more vigorously, "It seems that she is fine. The old Zhao family lit kerosene lamps all night last night. If Xiao Taohua had an accident, her mother's bad temper would have made the old Shen family go crazy. How could it be so quiet now?"

The marriage between the Zhao and Shen families was a topic of conversation after dinner in Dongshan Village. In their minds, Zhao Taohua and the son of the Shen family were not a good match at all.

As the old saying goes, it was a flower stuck in cow dung! However, the flower refers to the son of the Shen family, and Zhao Taohua is that shameless cow dung...

The Shen family has relatives who are high-ranking officials in Beijing, and they have rice every now and then. The conditions are so good that there is no other family in Dongshan Village. On the other hand, the Zhao family, tut tut tut...

If the marriage between the two families had not been arranged in the womb, it is estimated that with the poverty of the Zhao family and the sloppy appearance of Zhao Taohua, it would not be possible to get such a good marriage.

But Taohua has been flirting with Erzhuzi from the neighboring village recently. A few days ago, she ran away all night and did not come back. The next day, she came back in disheveled clothes. It was obvious that she did not do anything good!

No one knows where she went that night and what happened, but a few days later, the Shen family broke off the engagement. As for the specific reason, everyone was afraid of the Zhao family and did not dare to ask.

Now that the girl committed suicide, they felt that Xiao Taohua was a little pitiful.

What if no one dared to marry her in the future?

Should she stay in the village like an old maid every day?

When they thought that their children would continue to be bullied by Zhao Taohua, everyone frowned and cursed the old Shen family in their hearts.

Since the marriage has been decided for more than ten years, why can't they insist on it and directly marry Zhao Taohua, the evil one, home?

Perhaps it was due to the deep resentment of the people. At this time, on the kang in the west room of the Zhao family, Zhao Taohua leaned against the kang box and sneezed one after another, with a look of despair on her face...

Zhou Minglan saw her like this and was angry and anxious, "Are you stupid, child? Why do you have to learn to hang yourself? What if you really hang yourself? Don't scare your mother again in the future."
