Chapter 43 "To Take Someone's Life"

  Chang Sun Chong hastily intercepted him and said: "You'd better hold back a bit, at least let them meet each other before making any decisions."

  "Alright, I'll leave this matter to Brother Chong Xian. " Cheng Chu Liang flashed his big front teeth and burst out laughing with a wide grin.

  At this point, an elder must come out to make things right; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the girl's family. Although they are just ordinary farmers, they are still a respectable and honest household. According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, if you slept with a courtesan from the brothel, no one would scold you for being shameless; at most, people would describe it as romantic and elegant. However, if you ruined an innocent girl from a good family, and there was solid evidence, once reported to the authorities, you would still be punished, and several dozen lashes would be considered light.

  Chang Sun Chong had no choice but to go find Du Ruhui, explained the situation, and hoped that as a senior, Du would talk to Yang Da Mo, so the two could meet at Chang's house.

  Du Ruhui had long wanted to see a good show, so he readily agreed and said: "Wise nephew worries too much, since only I am here, of course I will take the lead for the second son of the Cheng family. I'll go talk to Yang Damao now."

  Du Ruhui was indeed a great minister, and just a few words made Yang Daming and his family look much better. Yang Chunhua ran back home and brought out her sister Yang Cuihua.

  Chang Sun Chong took a few glances outside, slightly relieved. This Yang Cuihua may not be tall, but her figure is great, with a prominent front and back, big eyes, just that her skin is a bit dark, probably because she's from a farming family and has to work in the fields every day.

  How to say it? Zhangsun Chong felt a bit familiar, right, this Yang Cuihua looks like a popular singer in the 21st century, Aru Ado, dark-skinned but very charming.

  Cheng Chulang and others were itching with excitement, unable to bear it any longer, they snuck up to the window and peeked inside. His cow-like eyes gleamed with a reddish light, just like a mad bull seeing a large piece of bright red cloth, he was excited, this was his dream goddess, how beautiful!

  If it weren't for Zhangsun Chong holding him back, he would have charged in like a mad bull.

  Deng Du Ru Hui called Cheng Chu Liang to come in, this guy hurriedly stood up, tidied up the salted fish-like iron cloth shirt, spat out a mouthful of saliva and touched his hair, wanting to make the unruly hair look more neat.

  Yang Cuihua saw Cheng Chuliang and suddenly became red-faced and ear-red, lowering her head and not speaking.

  Cheng Chu Liang approached Yang Cui Hua, smelling the familiar scent of jasmine flowers, and excitedly hugged her tightly, just like that night.

  Du Ruhui was holding a cup of tea and wanted to take a sip, but when he saw Cheng Chu's bright move, he almost choked to death, "Cough cough cough..."

  Yang was so angry that he almost choked, this guy is so arrogant, who knows what evil intentions he has, finding a daughter-in-law from such a family, don't know if it's good luck or bad luck.

  "Cough, cough!" Zhangsun burst into a fit of coughing, but the stubborn bull that was Cheng Chuliang didn't even flinch, and seeing Yang Damao on the verge of being suffocated to death, he had no choice but to step forward and pull him away. "Now that things are clear," he said, "Cheng family's second brother, you can wait for your elders, but the child in your belly can't!"

  Cheng Chuliang listened and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Father-in-law, I'll send a message now and let my father come to propose the marriage."

  Yang Da rolled his eyes and said: "Who is your father-in-law? Wait for your family to come propose before talking. Cuihua, follow me home!"

  Yang Cuihua was reluctant to part with the robust chest in her memory, but now she had no reputation and could only follow her father home. Fortunately, Cheng Lang took responsibility for her, and the family could rest assured. However, she understood that a high-ranking family like the Chengs would never accept a peasant girl like her as anything more than a concubine.

  "Cuihua, I'll go see you later." Although Cheng Chuliang lowered his voice, it was still very loud and everyone heard it.

  Yang Da stamped his foot and dragged Yang Cuihua away, what a misfortune for the family!

  Cheng Chu Mo had already learned the whole story from Da Zhu, and he couldn't get over it for half a day. Unconsciously, he touched his buttocks, guessing that if his father found out, he would definitely kick him hard in the butt. As the eldest brother, he hadn't taken good care of his younger brother, and yet they had caused someone's death - this was unbearable! He quickly sent someone to send a message back home.

  Cheng Chu Liang is a heartless and ruthless person, only knowing how to find his fairy sister. Now that the fairy sister has another little Cheng in her belly, he's extremely happy. Anyway, things have already turned out this way, so it can't be helped if he gets beaten by his father. After all, from young to old, his father would beat him whether there was a reason or not, beating more or less makes no difference to him.

  Yang's father and daughter had just left, when Cheng Chuliang, the future son-in-law, ran to the kitchen of Zhang Sun's family, took two chickens, two pork legs, and carried a bag of rice on his shoulder.

  "Cheng Jia's second brother, what are you doing?" Chang Sun rushed over to stop him after receiving the report from the kitchen servant. He took away their food, so what would they eat today?

  Cheng Chu Liang's face turned sour, his mouth pursed, and he said: "Younger brother, your nephew is starving now, just look at how thin his mother has become! You and I are brothers, you won't begrudge me this little bit of food, will you?"

  I've seen shameless people, but never as shameless as this. Long Sun's face twitched with anger, what kind of world is this? Good people are being bullied by these scoundrels!

  "What? Chong Xiongdi, you really won't give your poor nephew something to eat? My poor child, how can his uncle be so stingy!" Cheng Chuliang was anxious, even if he had to go all the way to Chang'an to buy it, it would have to wait until tomorrow, but today he just wanted to see Cuihua.

  When a man becomes humble, he has no enemies. Chang Sun was furious and gritted his teeth, saying: "I want to ask if these are enough?"

  Cheng Chulian immediately revealed a smiling face, and said with a smile: "I knew that Brother Chong was righteous, the oil in the farmhouse is very precious, I guess my father-in-law's family doesn't have vegetable oil. You carry that jar of vegetable oil, let's go see my wife and child!"

  Chang Sun Chong worried that Cheng Chu Liang would make an improper move at Yang Da Mo's home, so he had no choice but to carry the oil jar and follow behind Cheng Chu Liang with a gloomy face to Yang Da Mo's home.

  Chang Sun-chung suddenly thought of Cheng Chu-liang in history, wasn't he married to Li Er's daughter Qinghe Princess Li Jing?

  Watching Cheng Chulai carrying a sack of rice, holding two chickens in his left hand and two pig legs in his right hand, he was in high spirits. Zhangsun Chong was deeply indignant, what a careless friendship!

  Yang Damao had just arrived home and his buttocks hadn't even touched the stool when he heard Cheng Chuliang's loud voice.

  "Get him out of here quickly!" Yang Dama told Yang Chunhua to close the door, this hasn't been decided yet, how can that dead little brat enter our home.

  Yang Chunhua had just reached the door, and was about to speak, but seeing Cheng Chumou holding a chicken, two pork legs, and a large bag of grain, and even Master Dong's young master hugging a large jar, her mouth suddenly began to water profusely. It had been a long time since she had eaten meat or grains, and at home they had been living on locust powder and wild vegetables, which although filling, had become repulsive after a while.

  Yang Chunhua smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, please come in! Young master, please come in!"

  Cheng Chuliang was overjoyed when he heard Yang Chunhua call him brother-in-law, and asked: "Sister, where is your sister?"

  "My sister is not feeling well, resting at home, wanting to vomit all day and can't eat. Yang Chunhua knew that her sister had become the precious one in the family, seeing the rich young master coming over, she knew good days were ahead."

  Cheng Chu Liang stretched his neck, wanting to take a look out the window, but it was futile. He said, "Put your things away and get some more food for your sister to eat. Your brother-in-law will reward you later!"

  Yang Chunhua was excited and said repeatedly: "Thank you brother-in-law, my father is in a bad mood now, it's better not to come in!"

  Cheng Chuliang chuckled and said: "Alright, let your sister be at ease, I will come to marry her."

  As they left Yang's house, Changsun Chong asked in a low voice, "Second Brother Cheng, aren't you going to be the Emperor's son-in-law?"

  "I don't want to be a son-in-law, that Princess Qinghe is only eight years old, and I'm already fifteen this year. By the time she's fifteen, I'll be twenty-two. These seven years, won't I still have to live in widowhood?" Cheng Chuliang was really powerful, this adjective was really creative, a big man like him could also become a widow!

  "Your Majesty wants to form an alliance with our Cheng family, anyway my father has five sons and can't marry me off, so it's just as well that Pu is cheap. He's thirteen this year and matches the princess in age. Besides, those royal princesses are all as thin as bean sprouts, looking at them makes one uncomfortable, let alone marrying one back home to be a wife. All skin and bones, not comfortable to hold." Cheng Chuliang chattered on like an old mother hen, speaking with twisted logic that sounded reasonable upon careful consideration.
