Hunchback Zhang clearly remembered that he had just returned from the back mountain to gather firewood that day. It was already very late. Making tofu required a lot of firewood every day. Business was especially good those days, so the firewood was always not enough to burn, so he came back a little late. Hunchback Zhang smiled tiredly as he carried a large bundle of firewood on his back while thinking about something. His sister had mentioned Xue Li to him. Although he had rejected her on the surface, he was filled with a very comfortable sense of happiness in his heart. Firstly, Xue Li had reached the age of marriage. The girls in the mountain village studied late. Some of them were brought home to get married when they were only in the second year of junior high school. Secondly, Xue Li was many times more beautiful than any girl he had seen in the past few days. Her skin was so fair that the girls in the city could not achieve the effect even if they used makeup. That healthy blush and shy face. It really made her lose her mind. Other than Xue Li's naivety and childishness, there were other girls who didn't dislike him that much. If he really married such a girl, he would be willing to be a slave for the rest of his life. As he thought about this, a person's face turned red, as if everything around him could see through his secret thoughts. However, he didn't dare to think about marrying Xue Li. For so many years, this girl's shadow had always been hovering in front of him, calling him big brother affectionately. He couldn't imagine that Xue Li was his woman. He felt that it was very contemptible to think of her like that. It was a wonderful dream that could be hidden in the depths of his heart. If he let such a dream support him through his lonely life, then his life wouldn't have been in vain. Hunchback Zhang was lost in thought as he looked at Yue Ya 'er, who was about to climb up the treetops.
On the bluestone under the old locust tree, where Yu Ting was buried, he slowly put down the heavy firewood. He had to take advantage of the beautiful moonlight to think about his dreams. He didn't even dare to think about them during the day. As she thought about it, she couldn't help but hum a love song.
The moon sets in the west, holding the door thinking of the enemy. If my enemy doesn't come to my house to play, my heart will be in a mess. The sun is going up the mountain, the fire is red, my lover, go up the slope quickly. I'll drive the cows and sheep up the mountain and find a place to talk. The sun shines on the mountains and rivers.
At this time, he heard a slight sound in the grass and suspected that it was a snake. When he was still very young, he heard that there was a kind of snake on the back of the mountain. It specialized in picking up people who walked alone at night. It would transform into people who were familiar with you and strike up a conversation with you. When you lost your guard, it would cause you to die. However, he had never seen such a thing in all his years of gathering firewood on the back mountain. Hunchback Zhang was not afraid. He could easily catch ordinary snakes. If it was really a snake beauty, he was almost thirty years old and had yet to touch a woman. Perhaps he had never been fated with a woman in his life. If he met a snake beauty, as long as he was on guard, he would be fine.
Xue Li crawled out from the tall grass and sat next to Hunchback Zhang. "Big Brother, Yuting said you were waiting for me here. I thought she was lying to me." Xue Li and Hunchback Zhang were very close to each other. Hunchback Zhang could clearly feel Xue Li's short of breath. When Xue Li said this, the hunchback Zhang Dao couldn't think of anything to say. Even if he had a thousand mouths, he still felt that he could not explain himself clearly. Xue Li said," Big Brother, do you not like me?" Why don't you even look at me? Am I that ugly? As Xue Li spoke, Hunchback Zhang felt a sour feeling in his heart, as if something was pulling him in. Under the faint moonlight, Hunchback Zhang still felt his face burning. He stammered," Xue Li, I didn't expect you to come here. I thought you were a snake." Hunchback Zhang didn't know why he would suddenly say something so irrelevant. Xue Li was amused. No wonder she hadn't come back to her senses after so long. So she was on guard against me. Big Brother, look carefully. I'm Xue Li, not some beautiful snake. Hunchback Zhang had never been alone with a girl like this before. He really regretted sitting on this rock to rest. It was like sitting on pins and needles now.
Hunchback Zhang asked calmly. Xue Li, if I wasn't crippled, I would definitely marry you. Xue Li said leisurely," Big Brother, didn't Yuting say that you had already agreed? Why does it seem like you're going back on your word?" You don't know, when I found out that big brother was going to marry me, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep well the entire night. Hunchback Zhang said," Good girl, if you really marry Big Brother, Big Brother will harm you. Think about it, you're so young and beautiful, and you've read so many books. Even if you marry into the city, there will be people willing to marry you." What was Big Brother? He was like a snail on the ground. How much time did he have to raise his head in front of others? Do you understand how uncomfortable these days are? If you marry me, won't people look down on you and drown you in their saliva? Do you think Big Brother will feel good? Xue Li cried." Big Brother, I won't allow you to ruin yourself like this. I truly love you. I love you as a person. Do you know what I will think if you ruin yourself like this?" I've already told Yuting about my situation. My mother can't help me, and my father has always wanted to exchange me for money for his drinks. I'm about to graduate, and it's rare for my father to come back every year. Last year, he arranged for me to marry off to a friend of his. He said that there's no use for a girl to study so many books, and he'd wanted me to stop studying for a long time. Are you just not willing to save me? Hunchback Zhang said,"Good girl, let me think about it and see if there's a better way." Xue Li was anxious. I've already said so much, and you're still thinking about it. You really have to worry me to death before you can feel at ease! Tell me, do you want me or not? Ask Yuting to reply to me tomorrow. My life depends on your words. Anyway, I want to marry myself off before my father deals with me. I don't believe that no one wants me. After saying this, Xue Li turned around and ran away.
He watched Xue Li's back as she walked away and felt Xue Li's genuine and warm breath. The hunchbacked Zhang Sheng straightened his back for the first time. It was obvious that Yu Ting's words were true. She was trying her best to matchmake this matter. Xue Li was indeed the most sensible girl he had ever met. When he thought of Xue Li's eyes that were filled with longing, those eyes that were filled with tears and anticipation, he couldn't help but feel that he was the heroic spirit that a man should have. Even if he was mocked and ridiculed, he couldn't let Xue Li down no matter what. When Hunchback Zhang picked up the firewood again, he felt especially relaxed and returned home. When he saw the smiles on his parents 'faces that he had never seen before, he understood that his date with Xue Li had become a secret that everyone in the family knew. Yu Ting smiled and said," Brother, did you guys have a good talk?" Hunchback Zhang said,"It's terrible. I'm so angry that I ran away." Yu Ting said angrily," I knew it. Brother, how old are you? Why are you still like a block of wood? Girls are not firewood on your back." " I've already told you that Xue Li has a heart, but you didn't believe me. Didn't you see how her sister is now? When she first married into the family, she was in a glorious state. Not long after, the man ruined the family and fooled around outside all day long. When he had no money, he forced her sister to become a prostitute. What do you want me to say to Xue Li now? What do you want me to give her? The smiles on his parents 'faces froze. His father's facial muscles twitched, and his mother's eyes suddenly lost their luster. Hunchback Zhang could imagine how excited they were when Yu Ting told them about him and Xue Li. After all, he was their son. Even if they were dissatisfied with him, the love hidden in their hearts would never change. Indeed, his appearance had given his parents a ruthless blow, but they had gone around begging him to find a partner for him, bragging about his goodness, his ability, and his filial piety in front of others.
Yu Ting had never been so angry before. She had always tried her best to protect her crippled brother's fragile and sensitive heart. " It seems like it's time," Hunchback Zhang said softly." When Xue Li left, she asked you to reply to her for me tomorrow. I'll tell you now." Yuting, tell Xueli to be your sister-in-law tomorrow." Her brother had agreed to it. Yu Ting suddenly turned from anger to joy. She clapped her hands desperately and then hit her brother's chest fiercely. Brother, you're really making me anxious to death, you stuffy gourd. I'll speak for you now. His father finally said that he would go and tell Xue Li tomorrow. It wouldn't take long. It was already outrageous for a biological sister to matchmake her brother. Tomorrow, he would ask your mother to personally go and talk to Matchmaker Guo. That night, the family chatted for a long time, not feeling sleepy at all.
A few days later, Matchmaker Guo brought Xue Li and her mother to the Zhang family. Everyone in the village came to watch the show. The entire tofu shop was like a market. It was more lively than any previous blind date because almost everyone in the village had heard that matchmaker Guo was going to bring a beautiful new girl to the hunchback. In their eyes, the hunchback was lucky enough to marry a blind and lame woman. A hunchback actually wanted to marry a beautiful woman? It was really a daydream. They were here to watch the show, but secretly, they were here to see a joke. If this matter could really succeed, then even a sow could climb a tree.
The plain and simple Xue Li had meticulously dressed up for this important appearance. Xue Li, who was already so beautiful that she couldn't find any faults with her, looked even more charming. Her beautiful hair was no longer combed up like when she was a student. Instead, it was gently draped over her shoulders, making her look a little steady and mature. He looked at Hunchback Zhang with deep affection. That kind of affectionate look was like mellow wine, more like honey, almost melting Hunchback Zhang alive. The people in the village who were watching the joke were only surprised. There was nothing else. They had completely forgotten the purpose of their visit and were only admiring the beauty of the bride. Seeing such a bride, many men felt that they had been wronged. Such a good thing had actually been taken by a hunchback Zhang who was so ugly that he did not want to look at her a second time. Was there any justice in the heavens? If the men present were allowed to abandon their wives and marry such a bride, it could be imagined that a war for women would inevitably occur. Matchmaker Guo symbolically asked if both parties had any objections, just like in a church, whether the wedding host loved the other party. The hunchbacked Zhang Lao was the first to express that he had no objections to Xue Li. Xue Li blushed in front of the villagers, but she still expressed her stance generously. She had no objections at all. After asking the parents of both parties for their opinions, the Zhang family naturally had no objections. After Xue Li's mother personally saw the Zhang family's grain reserves, she also smiled and said that she had no objections. It was just that Xue Li's matter had to wait for her father to come back before he could make a decision. She was a woman and couldn't make the decision.
