Chapter 365: The Past Is Unbearable
Huan Yan touched his forehead, saw blood, and immediately felt pain and hatred, and rushed up with brute force to push the person into the water.
This is terrible, the other party is crying and shouting in the water, shouting that he has killed someone, and slandering Huan Yan to his face.
Some people have long heard the dispute here, and one on both sides has a bad temper and a bad reputation, so they just want to watch from a distance and are not willing to come forward to join in the fun. At this moment, I saw that someone had fallen into the river, and immediately surrounded him.
The river here is not deep, and someone went into the water to catch the aunt, but she refused to go ashore in the water, shouting that she would lose her life.
Seeing that the matter was getting bigger, some people hurriedly went to invite people from the two families, and some good people rushed to tell each other, shouting that the whole village knew about it. In less than a moment, both sides of the river bank were packed.
Huan Yan's family happened to be empty, the ancestor was slow, and when he got the news, he rushed over tremblingly, and saw the other party's family, together with some helpers, holding on to their granddaughter, but the granddaughter was standing barefoot on the ground, and a piece of her head was broken, and she immediately couldn't stop crying.
Immediately shouted with a cane: "Stop!" and then relied on the old man and no one dared to move, and first protected his granddaughter.
I also knew the cause of the incident all the way, thinking that the family had been compromised for a few years, and my granddaughter was scolded and beaten when she went out to wash her clothes, and she held back her tears but was so angry that she smoked.
Pointing to a descendant, he said, "I'm bothering you to run an errand and invite the patriarch to come." ”
When the other party saw that he was about to call the patriarch, he immediately sneered: "Don't be afraid to call the patriarch!
Old Ancestor didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Later, the patriarch came with a teacup and a cigarette pouch in his mouth.
The wicked sue first. Before the patriarch could stand still, the other party had already shouted, and said Huan Yan to his face that he was a person with a vicious mind and a plan to kill his life.
"Shut up for me!" the old ancestor shouted with a cane, "I understand that you are old, let the grandson and granddaughter call uncle and aunt, if it is counted according to the generation, you should call my ancestor together!" The patriarch didn't speak, and I didn't make a sound, where is your place to speak!"
Hearing this, the patriarch coughed a few times, signaled to the other party and the surroundings to be quiet, and then asked the ancestor what he wanted to do.
The ancestor said: "Today's labor patriarch, there are two things, we say one by one. Let's start with the present. My granddaughter went down to wash her clothes, and she was carrying a bucket of dung on top to carry water, and my granddaughter didn't say anything, but she beat and scolded her, what is the reason?"
"She's pushing me into the river!" shouted the other.
"Are you drowned?" the old ancestor sneered at her and continued to say to the patriarch, "The depth of the river is here, and whoever moves first will be witnessed." She was fine, but my baby broke her head, so she asked, why does an adult bully a child like this?
The other party immediately shouted again, but was glared at by the patriarch and held back.
The ancestor continued: "The second thing, while everyone is here, I want to ask the patriarch to prove my granddaughter's innocence!"
As he spoke, he poured the clothes from the basin to the side, and instructed Huan Yan to draw clean water from the basin, wash his hands and feet.
Huan Yan thought that the ancestor just asked her to clean up, do as she was told, and then put on her shoes and tidy up her clothes.
Seeing her finish, Lao Zu continued: "In the early years, the babies played together, and a few of them were greedy and had bad stomachs, not because my granddaughter caused it. The villagers value harmony, and we don't care about others. However, if it is up to you, you should have more or less points. I've been talking about this for a few years, and today I'm going to let you see if my granddaughter is harmful!"
As he spoke, he "borrowed" the cup in the patriarch's hand, poured it with a bang, and then bent down to scoop up a cup of water from the basin, and poured it down with his neck tilted without stopping it. After pouring it in one go, he smashed the cup, "If the old immortal doesn't come out to bask in the sun tomorrow, please ask my whole family to come out!"
The patriarch looked at the broken porcelain on the ground and sighed to the ancestor, "Why bother?!"
"It's okay! A little baby who hasn't grown up yet, and it's my own granddaughter, I don't dislike it. The ancestor waved his hand.
"You know I'm not talking about this ......," the patriarch grimaced. He's talking about gambling and swearing. Out of the clan, the name of the clan was removed, the cemetery was not left, and the public land and other things were recovered. Even if someone in the family commits a crime, it will not be so ruthless for the whole family.
The ancestor glared: "Could it be that the patriarch also believed the rumors, waiting to drive my family out?"
"What are these words?!" the patriarch stomped his foot.
The ancestor stared at him and said, "Saying that my granddaughter is harmful, and I don't look at the fields, who has my family's crops growing prosperous?"
It is a fact that the eyes can see that the crops in the fields are growing vigorously. Not to mention the village, the township is competing, and the Huanyan family is also going to be taken to save face.
The patriarch immediately picked up a cigarette pouch and began to lecture in public: "You people who don't keep their mouths open, and other people's daughters share well with others, you don't care, just remember to eat bad stomachs! Even if you really eat other people's things and eat them badly, it can be said that things are not clean and not authentic, can you say such a dirty and clean name as other people's daughters harm others? If you have that idle work and nonsense, why don't you go and work more for me!"
He pointed to that family again, "Why don't you apologize?!"
The ancestor snorted: "If you eat a bad stomach, you will be scolded for a few years, and if you break your head, you will apologize? If I die tomorrow, I will not die, and the rules will be established in the ancestral hall!"
After speaking, he didn't listen to any chatter behind him, and dragged his sobbing Huanyan home.
A woman who had a good relationship with his family hurriedly picked up her clothes and rinsed them in the river and sent them away.
In the evening, the parents and siblings came back and heard about the events of the day, and the brothers and sisters immediately went out to reason with others, and were pressed down by their father.
The mother dragged Huan Yan to the back room and slapped her on the ass a few times.
This was the first time Huan Yan was beaten, and it was also the last.
After beating her, her mother wiped her tears and asked, "Do you know why I hit you?"
Huan Yan pursed her lips with grievances and said, "I caused the ancestor to take medicine." Also, I was embarrassed. ”
Seeing that she understood so much in her heart, her mother became more and more distressed, and stepped forward to hug her and said, "Mother, no matter what outsiders say, as long as you know, the family will not care for you." Tell me about you, is it wrong to send yourself to be deceived in front of others for no reason, and drag down the ancestor?"
Huan Yan snuggled in her mother's arms, looked at her hands and feet, and asked, "Mother, what's strange about me?"
Some things have long been known, and when I asked at this moment, my mother simply explained what she said in order to prevent her from thinking wildly.
"It's not weird, it's just that occasionally eating something that your little paw touches will make you upset, and it's not like that back. Wearing gloves for you, just in case, is not disgusting you. After all, it's not good to have a tummy, is it?"
Huan Yan nodded: "I understand, my mother is afraid that I will be misunderstood and bullied." ”
Hearing this, her mother pinched her little nose dotingly: "Your ancestor is right in saying something, my Yan'er is not only harmless, but also a lucky star." Who has the soil and fertilizer that my Yan'er has stepped on? This year is about to have a bumper harvest again. ”
smiled happily: "That's the credit of my father and brothers, I just occasionally went to the field to mess around." ”
