In early summer, the night of Beiqiaogou is also very late.

Under the characteristic ancient poplar tree at the end of the village, there are villagers gathered in twos and threes at this time.

Lin Qiulan took her little grandson, who was about one year old, and practiced walking step by step around the ancient poplar tree. Seeing that it was getting later and later, and even the last rays of the sun after setting were about to be swallowed up by the night, a trace of worry finally appeared in her eyes.

On the stone platform, there were other people's whispers:

"The old Qi family is lively today!"

"But no, I heard that kid from my family say that the child daughter-in-law raised by the old Qi family, I don't know which tendon is wrong today, and she is right with the kid of the Qi family!"

"Hey! What is this, I listened to it even better! That Qi Xingye beat his wife again!"

A sneer suddenly came: "It's not been a day or two since Qi Xingye beat his wife." You still talk about the matter of the sesame seeds and rotten grain!"

The person who was said immediately stopped doing it: "Hey! What are you talking about! I still don't know that Qi Xingye beats his wife every day? But today is different from before!"

Some people disdainfully: "What, you still can't play flowers?"

The man grinned: "You're really right! This time it's not just a flower, you know that the bastard boy of the old Qi family, right? It is said that he committed a crime!"

Everyone's eyes widened in unison: "What did you do? It can't be that you were caught gambling, right?"

"Bah, bah, what were you arrested! Beaten by Sun Yumei!"

"What's going on!" the villagers were confused.

Everyone knows how precious Sun Yumei is to Qi Junfei's son. It's Qi Xingye, as soon as he gets drunk and drunk, he really fights people, and he doesn't give in at all, even if Qi Junfei is his son, he will not make a mistake.

Someone asked uncertainly: "Who is that, are you wrong? It should be Qi Xingye who beat people, right?"

The man pursed his lips: "Qi Xingye, don't you need to say it! I'm talking about Sun Yumei, she is terrible today, running after his son with a kitchen knife!"

Huh? And this kind of thing?

The villagers all had their eyes open, their faces full of disbelief.

This kind of thing of being chased by Sun Yumei, isn't it always that only Qi Xiaoyu would be so unlucky? When will it be Qi Junfei's turn? Could it be that Sun Yumei drank the wrong medicine today?

By the way, when it comes to drinking the wrong medicine, Qi Xiaoyu's performance today doesn't seem to be right.

"Don't you know what's going on? Let me tell you, it is said that this Qi Junfei, tsk, tsk, his hands are not clean, he stole money, he stole it to his own house. Let me tell you, Sun Yumei's little family wealth was all stolen and ruined by his son!"

The villagers looked at each other, obviously the news was too shocking for them.

A villager asked hesitantly: "Where did you hear this? Don't you talk nonsense, right? Just Sun Yumei is so precious to her son, Qi Junfei wants a money, as for stealing it?"

"Hey, why don't you believe it? What my grandson Dazui said, which one is not true! Let me tell you, if it weren't for Dazui, I happened to pass by Lao Qi's house today, maybe I would have known such a wonderful thing!" When the words fell, the man looked extremely complacent.

After confirming the truth of the matter, everyone immediately began to discuss.

Some say that Qi Junfei is young and does not study well and does not do things authentically; some say that Sun Yumei is used to children and spoils Qi Junfei; some say that Qi Xingye is a gambler and drunkard, and what he looks like, the children he raises are also what he is, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked; and even took it as a warning on the spot, warning his children to stay away from the children of the Qi family in the future, so as not to be contaminated.

Of course, there are still a considerable number of people who are more concerned about the follow-up of the matter: "Sun Dazui, what about later?"

"Later, what else?" Sun Dazui looked dazed.

Seeing that Sun Dazui didn't understand what he and the others meant, one of them simply mentioned directly: "Just Qi Junfei's kid was beaten, Qi Xiaoyu was not beaten?"

Sun Dazui was even more confused: "Qi Xiaoyu, I don't know? Besides, isn't Qi Xiaoyu beaten by Sun Yumei for a few days and can't get off the ground?"

I don't know who in the crowd laughed out loud: "Sun Dazui, dare you didn't take what I said seriously just now!"

Yes?

Sun Dazui was confused.

"What's the situation?" he looked at the crowd around him, and saw that everyone looked like they were all clear, and he wondered even more.

Could it be that he missed something good today?

Seeing Sun Dazui's confused look, someone next to him whispered what happened under the ancient poplar tree this afternoon, and after understanding what happened, Sun Dazui suddenly slapped his thigh, looking distressed: "Oh! I missed it! This is a good show that is rare to see in a hundred years! Anyway, who is it, you really didn't lie to me? Just the girl of the old Qi family, really put a sickle on the neck of Qi Junfei's kid? Yo! This sounds, why is it so unrealistic?"

"Don't believe it! Ask all of you if I'm talking nonsense. Sun's questioning attitude made the person who told the matter a little anxious.

Sun Dazui hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, don't, don't! I just don't think this thing can be done by the girl of the old Qi family. ”

Seeing that he had been approved by Sister Sun, the man also echoed his words and sighed: "It's not a problem! I didn't believe it at first." Isn't this a bunch of bastards who have noses and eyes, so no one can't believe it!"

The two sang and harmonized, and Lin Qiulan, who had been watching her little grandson walk, was a little unhappy to listen: "I grew up watching the rain girl, what kind of person she is, I know best, can I listen to the words of those gangsters?"

"Lin, sister-in-law Lin!" the two greeted each other, their expressions were a little confused, they were not talking in the end.

The air around them fell silent, and the sun reluctantly took away the last of its light. The evening breeze is gentle, faintly bringing the insects and birds on the mountain, which adds a bit of dullness. A ray of moonlight quietly sprinkled down, sifting through the swaying of the ground under the ancient poplar tree.

"Bao'er, go slowly!don't fall!" Lin Qiulan's voice broke the silence.

She opened her arms and carefully protected her toddler grandson, but her eyes frequently swept to the dark mountain, and the sorrow between her eyebrows became more and more intense.

The night is getting darker, and the early summer night is a little cooler.

Some villagers couldn't resist the cold of the night and began to leave one after another.

Sun Dazui was also leaving, but seeing that Lin Qiulan had no intention of leaving, he couldn't help but wonder: "Sister-in-law Lin, aren't you going back?"

Lin Qiulan was about to reply, but Dabao in front of her suddenly hugged her and made a milky voice: "Grandma, go home...... Grandma, Bao'er ...... cold"

"Okay, Bao'er, grandma will take you home. Lin Qiulan glanced at the mountain where there was still no movement, sighed, and then picked up Dabao, and ignored Sun Dazui, who was talking to her, and walked straight towards the village.

Sun Dazui touched his nose and dispersed with the villagers.

Qi Xiaoyu carried a large bundle of pigweed on his back and came down from the mountain almost step by step.

Today, after climbing the mountain for a day, and carrying such a large bundle of grass on her back, she was a little tired and couldn't walk.

Before she walked into the courtyard of the Qi family, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, which startled Qi Xiaoyu: "Who is it?"

"Rain girl, I'm your Aunt Lin. Lin Qiulan's voice came.

It turned out to be Aunt Lin!

Lin Qiulan is her neighbor, and she helps her a lot on weekdays.

Qi Xiaoyu's heart that had just jumped up suddenly fell: "Aunt Lin, it's so late, is there anything wrong with you?"

She was a little confused.

"Girl Yu, something happened to your family today!" Lin Qiulan said in a suppressed voice.

Something happened to her family! Don't say that she is used to it, that is, the villagers living in the same village are used to it!

If something happens to her family one day, it will be strange, right?

"Aunt Lin, I know. Qi Xiaoyu nodded, and subconsciously wanted to step into the yard.

No, her feet had just stepped out, and she was grabbed by Lin Qiulan again: "Rain girl, you have to be careful, that kid Qi Junfei was beaten by Sun Yumei today." ”

What?

Qi Xiaoyu thought that he had auditory hallucinations, and Sun Yumei was very concerned about her baby son, and she would not be willing to touch him even if she was angry again. At least this kind of thing has never happened in my last life!

Could it be that something has changed because she was born again?

The more Qi Xiaoyu thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she couldn't help but ask Lin Qiulan: "Aunt Lin, why did my mother beat my brother?"

"It seems to be because of the money. Now it has spread all over the village, saying that it is Qi Junfei's kid who stole all the remaining family funds of Sun Yumei. Anyway, when you go in, be careful with yourself, don't let them spill their anger on you again. Lin Qiulan carefully advised.

Qi Xiaoyu listened to Lin Qiulan's words, and his face was ugly for a while.

She suddenly remembered that at this time in her previous life, Qi Xingye came home drunk, and she didn't succeed in asking Sun Yumei for money, so she fisted and kicked her. Later, Qi Junfei came back, Qi Xingye was forced with a knife, Sun Yumei was afraid that the other party would hurt her son, so she could only go to get the money, but found that the only more than 100 yuan in the family was gone.

She didn't get out of bed for a few days because she was beaten by Sun Yumei because of the complaint, and she didn't know what Qi Junfei said to Sun Yumei in the outhouse, and in the end, the mother and son ripped the sick and weak themselves off the bed and beat them severely, Qi Junfei even kicked and slandered her for stealing the money, and didn't give herself the slightest chance to justify.

That day, if it weren't for Aunt Qiulan and the people from the village, there was no telling how long this beating would have been.

Qi Xiaoyu's face was a little dark, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she grabbed Lin Qiulan's clothes: "Aunt Lin, you just said that it was my brother who stole the money?

Lin Qiulan thought for a while: "This aunt doesn't know much either......"

"Then how long did my mother beat my brother?Is it serious?What about my father?What was he doing at that time?" Qi Xiaoyu asked a little anxiously.

As for Qi Xingye, my aunt didn't hear any movement later. Lin Qiulan thought about it and replied.

But soon, her tone was a little dissatisfied: "Girl Yu, didn't my aunt say you! This family treats you like this, why are you stupid to care about them? By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't you go to your aunt's house to eat." Your family may not have prepared your meal. ”

"No need, I've eaten in the mountains. Qi Xiaoyu shook his head and refused.

"What's there to eat on the mountain!Let's go, go to my aunt's house to eat!" Lin Qiulan couldn't help but say that she was going up to drag her.

Qi Xiaoyu gently avoided it: "Aunt Lin, I really don't need it." I'm not hungry!"

Seeing her resolute attitude, Lin Qiulan was no longer reluctant, and Yin Yin instructed: "Then you should be careful yourself." If you can't resist it, greet your aunt. You know what?"

"Knowing Aunt Lin, then I'll go in first. With that, Qi Xiaoyu stepped into the courtyard gate.
