Chapter 39: The Village's Reaction

Yuan Anping packed up his things, looked at Huo Xiaohan, who looked better, and said with concern: "If you are uncomfortable, you can continue to sleep for a while." ”

"Hmm. Huo Xiaohan felt that his head still hurt a little, so he lay down. Seeing Yuan Anping helping him pull up the quilt, with a smile on his face, he felt very stable in his heart.

Yuan Anping smiled and said, "Sleep." ”

Huo Xiaohan looked at him, and saw that his face was not good, so he said, "You definitely didn't sleep well last night, or you should go to sleep for a while." ”

Yuan Anping was indeed tired, and he finally fell asleep in a daze after a long stay last night, and he was indeed a little sleepy at this time, so he said: "Okay, I'll squint for a while, what do you need to call me." ”

This room is also used to accommodate patients, so there are two beds in the room. Theoretically, Huo Xiaohan is a twin, and it is not good for Yuan Anping to be in the same room with him, but at this time, he doesn't pay attention to these things. Yuan Anping was indeed tired, and fell asleep not long after lying in bed.

Huo Xiaohan looked at Yuan Anping across the table, and thought silently in his heart: "God, I'm not greedy, as long as Yuan Anping doesn't dislike me, I'm satisfied." He has always felt that he is a blessed person, and he does not dare to have any extravagant hopes, he is afraid that if he is greedy too much, even this little desire will disappear.

At more than ten o'clock, Yuan Anping was sleeping Zhengxiang when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. was awakened suddenly, and hurriedly looked to the side, and saw Huo Xiaohan lying on the bed, as if he had also been woken up.

There was still a gentle knock on the door outside, Yuan Anping yawned and said to Huo Xiaohan: "You lie down, I'll open it." ”

Huo Xiaohan felt that his headache was much better, thinking that someone was coming, he couldn't just lie on the bed and meet people, so he got up and sat against the bedpost.

As soon as Yuan Anping opened the door, he saw Xiao Fat Dun and his family, as well as Li Zi, who also followed.

When Yuan Anping saw them, he smiled and said, "Why are you here? Come in." ”

Cai Xiaohua saw that Yuan Anping's expression was normal, and knew that Huo Xiaohan was really fine, so she smiled and said: "I came back late when I went back to my parents' house yesterday, I didn't expect that kind of thing to happen, but fortunately, I heard Brother Zhang Wang say that the doctor can cure it." As soon as Cai Xiaohua entered the house, she saw Huo Xiaohan sitting, so she walked towards him with a smile on her face: "Oh, I'm relieved to see you." It scared the hell out of me when I heard the news yesterday!"

Yuan Hezhuang said to Yuan Anping: "Originally, your uncle and aunt were going to come with you, but your aunt and her mother's family came to say that her mother was sick, so your uncle took your aunt back to her mother's house." He said he would come to see you tomorrow. ”

Yuan Anping smiled and said to him, "It's okay." Uncle Trouble told my uncle when he went back, Xiao Han is fine, he can go back in a few days, and he doesn't have to trouble them to run again. ”

Xiao Chubby Dun and Li Zi came to Huo Xiaohan's side and looked at it. The little fat dun also patted his chest with a sigh of relief in an exaggerated manner, and said with a happy voice: "It's alive, it's okay." ”

Li Zi lightly knocked his head and scolded with a smile: "I can't speak." Then he smiled and said to Huo Xiaohan: "I knew that Brother Anping would be fine." Now it's okay, your relatives are also broken, and you don't have to go back to your original home in the future. ”

Cai Xiaohua also said: "Yes, it can be regarded as a good thing in bad things." After leaving your family, this day will not be as hard as before. In fact, she is not familiar with Huo Xiaohan, it can be said that there are not a few people in the entire village who are familiar with Huo Xiaohan. In the past, Huo Xiaohan carried the reputation of being a close friend, and he had low self-esteem, in addition to working every day, he still worked, and he would not greet people when he saw them, which was very unpopular. Everyone doesn't have the habit of sticking a hot face to a cold ass, so they didn't take the initiative to talk to him. However, Cai Xiaohua is very pitiful to Huo Xiaohan, although the severance of relatives may make Huo Xiaohan's reputation even worse, but thinking that he can be reconciled with Yuan Anping now, it can be regarded as a creation.

Fat Dun nodded even more: "In the future, your mother can't care about you anymore, you don't have to be hungry!"

Huo Xiaohan was puzzled and surprised when he heard this: "Break off your family?"

Seeing his reaction like this, Li Zi asked curiously: "What's the matter? Brother Anping didn't tell you about the break-up?"

Yuan Anping looked at a few people who were talking quickly: "I haven't had time to say it yet." ”

As soon as Li Zi heard it, he immediately said to Huo Xiaohan: "Huo Xiaohan, Brother Anping has already helped you break off your family with you, you don't have to go home in the future, you can live with Brother Anping, and you can save ......."

"Li Zi!" Yuan Anping hurriedly stopped him, is this kid's brain pumping, is there anyone else here, can this kind of thing be said casually!

Li Zi also realized that he seemed to have said too much, and Yuan Anping had always said to the outside world that he didn't hook up with Huo Xiaohan. Although Li Zi felt that Yuan Anping was a little dead and didn't admit it, but thinking that the other party might be a strategy, he didn't say much.

And Huo Xiaohan listened to Li Zi's words, and knew that he had broken off his family membership, and he was stunned. What is the severance of relatives, he knows, he will never have anything to do with that family in the future.

Huo Xiaohan looked at Yuan Anping gratefully: "Thank you." ”

Yuan Anping smiled and said casually: "It's okay, it's nothing." ”

Li Zi laughed, thinking that he should help Yuan Anping promote his ability, so he said to Huo Xiaohan: "Huo Xiaohan, you don't know how powerful Brother Anping was at that time. Then he said Yuan Anping's table again, of course, Yuan Anping's negative behavior, such as saying "Do you want to marry a flower child", he naturally didn't mention it, he wasn't so stupid.

Cai Xiaohua and his wife really didn't listen to anyone talk about the situation at that time, and they all listened carefully when Li Zi opened his mouth to talk about it. Although others in the village speculated that Yuan Anping single-handedly contributed to Huo Xiaohan's severance, it was just speculation after all, and it was not clear what was going on. The people present yesterday were all clan elders, and they didn't say anything, and they didn't understand what was going on. As for the situation of Huo Xiaohan's illness, if they hadn't asked Zhang Wang, they wouldn't have known that it was so strict.

Cai Xiaohua and his wife listened to it and felt that Yuan Anping was really good to Huo Xiaohan and had nothing to say. Let's not talk about the five taels of silver that you can marry a daughter-in-law, let's just talk about treating Huo Xiaohan, so strict, saying that it is almost gone, I don't know how much silver it will cost to save people. Thinking about it, I felt that Huo Xiaohan was lucky to be able to meet Yuan Anping.

Huo Xiaohan's gratitude to Yuan Anping needless to say, it was absolutely without complaint that he died for the other party.

Yuan Anping glanced at the excited Li Zi with disgust, what is this kid so eloquent to do! Seeing that Huo Xiaohan's eyes were about to burst into tears again, he really wanted to stretch out his foot and kick Li Zi. As for the star eyes that Fat Dun worshipped, they appeared too often in the past, and he was already immune.

Yuan Anping stopped Li Zi, who was still talking, and pretended to be disgusted and said, "Okay, you are not too thirsty." Let's go, follow me to the restaurant and buy some vegetables. ”

Yuan Hezhuang hurriedly opened his mouth to stop: "Anping, don't be so expensive, we just come to see Xiaohan, and we can eat something on the street later." ”

Cai Xiaohua also said: "Anping, how can you go to the restaurant to buy food, the food there is not cheap." Let's sit down a little longer and grab a bite to eat on the way back. ”

Yuan Anping smiled and said to the two: "Then don't be polite to me, just celebrate Xiao Han." You sit here for a while, and Li Zi and I will be back soon. Go, Li Zi. ”

Li Zile kept up. The fat dun who also wanted to go with him was pulled by his parents.

The two of them left Renhetang, and Yuan Anping asked Li Zi: "After I left yesterday, what did the people in the village think?"

Li Zi thought about it for a while and then told him in detail: "After you leave, my grandfather will let the family spread the word in the village. said that Huo Xiaohan and Huo Laohei and their family did not agree, and they should not have been born in the Huo family, so they would bring bad luck to the Huo family. But Huo Xiaohan is a person of filial piety, but unfortunately the blessing is a little thin, now he is seriously ill, I am afraid that he will not live long, I am worried that my family will be affected, and I am afraid that his illness will affect my family, so he has no choice but to decide to break off his family with his family. In the future, they will no longer be relatives, and they will no longer be in their family. My grandfather said that saying this can be regarded as taking care of the face of Huo Xiaohan and the Huo family, and it will not affect the reputation of the village, and the other clan elders are not to blame. As for the Huo family, if they don't have brains, they run out and say that you forced them to break off their relationship, and then you will tell the truth as it is. In the final analysis, they also sold their son with silver, and the shameless one is still the Huo family. Brother Anping, my grandfather told me that the elders of the clan who forced the Huo family to break off their relatives with Huo Xiaohan were very unhappy, if it weren't for the fact that you taught the children in the village to read, you would definitely have a hard time in the future. My grandfather also said that this time I was forced to do nothing, and you have to think about it in the future, but you can't be so impulsive anymore. ”

"Hmm. Yuan Anping nodded. As for the clan elders' dislike of him, he naturally understood. The elders here teach the juniors to be filial, even foolish, and have to listen to them for everything. Even if Huo Xiaohan is pitiful, even if he feels that the Huo family is doing something wrong. But in their opinion, Huo Xiaohan is a son after all, and the son does not say anything about his parents, no matter how much his father and mother do, he can only bear it as a child. The so-called grace of birth and nurturing is greater than heaven, and his life is given by his parents, and he dares not to listen to his parents! A person like him suddenly appeared, regardless of human ethics and family affection, and filial piety, and forced others to break off their relatives, and in the eyes of those clan elders, he was absolutely bold and reckless. Moreover, his behavior is detrimental to the interests of those of them who are elders. If there are a few parents who are not partial, and which family does not have a single junior who has been oppressed, if the idea of not being filial to the family and breaking off their relatives arises, then how can it be done! However, because he is still teaching the children in the village to read and write, the people in the village are kind, and their own children rely on him to teach, so they can't do anything with him. Now that I think about it, teaching those kids to read on a whim really made a big difference. Otherwise, if the clan elders spoke out and asked everyone to exclude him, his life would definitely be very difficult.

Yuan Anping thought clearly, he didn't dare to underestimate the ability of these clan elders, not to mention people like him who didn't like trouble, if he wasn't forced to be helpless, he wouldn't do anything to offend them. And if Grandpa Li Zi passed it out, even if everyone guessed that there must be an inside story, at least it was covered with a fig leaf, and it would not affect the reputation of the village. Grandpa Li Zi did this very properly, and in the same way, he also cared about Huo Xiaohan's reputation. At least if he says it, Huo Xiaohan broke off his relatives because he was filial and didn't want his family to be implicated, and he would not be accused too much of being unfilial, although he would definitely be said to have a bad fate. Yuan Anping narrowed his eyes slightly, and secretly wondered in his heart: "The eight characters don't match? This is better than coming to Zhuanke's relatives." ”

Yuan Anping smiled and said to Li Zi: "Li Zi, thank your grandfather for bothering, this matter is thanks to your grandfather's help." When I get back, I'll go and thank him. ”

Li Zi smiled and bowed to his hand: "Don't be so polite, my grandfather always says that our family has to remember your favor." My grandfather also said that Huo Xiaohan is really pitiful, and he should help him. ”

Yuan Anping understood in his heart, took the initiative to speak out, and clearly expressed his support for himself, which also made Old Man Li hate, and he naturally remembered Grandpa Li's favor. He didn't talk about this topic anymore, but asked, "What did the people in the village say when they heard this?"

Li Zi thought about what the people in the village said, and then said to Yuan Anping: "I heard my grandfather and my father say so. The Huo family ran to make trouble with you, and everyone was still talking about it, and it didn't take long for the news that Huo Xiaohan broke off his family, and the people in the village would definitely think that this matter had something to do with you. After all, you keep kissing in the morning and kissing in the evening, but after the gossip between you and Huo Xiaohan came out, Huo Xiaohan broke off. So everyone thinks that this disconnection must have been done by you. Grandpa also said that no matter how nice it sounds, the people in the village will suspect that you made Huo Xiaohan break off his family, and even believe that you have a personal affair with Huo Xiaohan. Otherwise, what are you doing so hard to let the Huo family cut off their relationship with Huo Xiaohan. My mother, uncle, aunt and aunt also went out to inquire, and said that many people do think like this, thinking that you like Huo Xiaohan, so you let the family break off, and you don't want to marry the Huo family, for fear that they will always want to take advantage of your family in the future. Many people still speculated about how much benefit the Huo family got from you, so they let Huo Xiaohan go. Li Zi said and smiled: "I overheard my mother and them saying when they were chatting, the matter between you and Huo Xiaohan has been spread all over the world, and for the sake of Huo Xiaohan's reputation, you have to marry someone." ”

Yuan Anping frowned after hearing this, marrying Huo Xiaohan is not the most important thing, after all, the other party is still young, and it is a big deal to spend more time finding a reliable partner for him when the time comes. If you help him prepare a dowry more, the other party will always find a good family. He was thinking about the impact of the rumors in the village on him. Because he taught the children in the village to read, the people in the village had to read him more or less with some kindness, and even if they didn't remember his kindness in their hearts, the children in the family could read and write with him, and they would not dare to offend themselves. Since he will not face the situation of being excluded by the people in the village for the time being, it is nothing to be gossiped about and not come to say it in front of him.

Li Zi frowned when he saw him, he didn't want to marry Huo Xiaohan in the future, so he couldn't help asking, "Brother Anping, don't you want to marry Huo Xiaohan?"

Yuan Anping looked at him and said with a smile: "What do you always want to marry and marry when you are young? You are too precocious, right?"

Li Zi glared: "What are you talking about? Don't I just care? I listen to me...... If you don't marry Huo Xiaohan, what should he do?"

Yuan Anping continued to tease: "You have become so fast. You didn't want to see him before, but now you know that you think about his life's events. ”

Li Zi snorted, and was a little embarrassed when he remembered what he had done before: "Isn't that before?"

Yuan Anping smiled: "Okay, you don't have to worry about Huo Xiaohan's affairs." Tell me, what did the people in the village say about Huo Xiaohan when this happened?"

Li Zi thought for a while and said: "Most of the people in the village are quite pitiful to Huo Xiaohan, thinking about how a good person can die, and they all guess that their family may be too heavy. Many people think that the Huo family has done too much, after all, Shuang'er is not as strict as the girl, so they will accept some food, even if they have affection, it is a good thing. Many people think it's a good thing that Huo Xiaohan can find you as a husband. However, some people don't say it well, saying that Huo Xiaohan is close, and they also say that whoever has a good relationship with him will be restrained, saying that if you marry him, you will definitely be restrained by him, and I am waiting to see your jokes. Well...... Some people also say that Huo Xiaohan is a little to blame for being beaten, if the person is really dead, you can't get out of it, it was you who created it. Li Zi said very indignantly, "I really don't know what those people think, how can Huo Xiaohan rely on you when he is beaten, it's not that he is ruthless, if he is someone else's family, how can he almost lose his life!"

Yuan Anping didn't feel anything, after all, it wasn't that he didn't have a backache when he stood and talked. What happens to you is a grievance, and what happens to others is a joke. He understood, and naturally did not care about their words.

Li Zi saw that Yuan Anping didn't care about it, he really admired it, and felt that if this happened to him, he would not be angry, so he deeply felt that he was inferior to Yuan Anping. Thinking about it, he continued: "When the Huo family saw that the rumors in the village were not good for them, the Liu family came out to cry. What do you say Huo Xiaohan behaved inappropriately, how could a good pair have a private meeting with someone secretly, and what did she say to protect you wholeheartedly, she was also angry for a while, so she hit him a few times. said that she was Huo Xiaohan's mother, Huo Xiaohan did something wrong, and she should teach her a lesson. also said that she didn't do much at all, who knows why he was going to die of illness, and said that Huo Xiaohan was weak, otherwise he would have died after so many hits. Li Zi said with a look of disdain, "Didn't she say this to put the blame on you and Huo Xiaohan? Later, Grandpa Li Zhengzeng went to Huo's house, and I didn't know what to tell them, so the Liu family never mentioned you again." only said that he was angry at the time, and it was all for the sake of Huo Xiaohan's reputation, which can be regarded as a painstaking effort. ”

Yuan Anping sneered, Liu didn't mention him again, because he was afraid that he would sue them for ruining his reputation because of their words.

Li Zi saw that Yuan Anping was unhappy, so he said to him: "Don't worry, except for a few who have a good relationship with her, few people believe her words." After speaking, he laughed, and said in a mocking tone: "Huo Xiaohan has broken off his family, and he has no place to live in the future, so he has to live in your house, right?"

Yuan Anping thought for a while and said, "My family can't live there, so I really have to think about this problem." "His family has two houses, one for teaching students and one for him. If Huo Xiaohan is an ordinary boy, it is nothing for the two of them to share a bed, but the other party is a person who can be married, then it is inappropriate.

Li Zi: "Anyway, it doesn't matter if he can't live in your house, if this happens, you will definitely have to marry him in the future." When my family said it, I listened to it, saying that you even came forward to break off your family, and you will definitely have to be responsible for Huo Xiaohan in the future. ”

Yuan Anping had a lot of things in his heart that he hadn't thought about well, and he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore: "Don't talk about this, what do you want to eat?"

Li Zi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I want to eat meat!" Saying that, Li Zi suddenly thought of something, and said to Yuan Anping: "The clan elder in the village said that he would not let everyone talk about Huo Xiaohan's severance of his family, saying that it is not a good thing after all, don't spread it and affect the reputation of the village, and it will be difficult for the children in the village to marry a daughter-in-law at that time." You also know that our village is poor, and marrying a daughter-in-law has more money than some other villages, and if the reputation is not good, it will be even more difficult to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

"Did the villagers do it?"

Li Zi nodded: "Yes, the clan elders have come forward, who dares not to listen." I definitely don't dare to say anything more openly. ”

Yuan Anping was speechless: "...... If it's so important, you put it at the end. ”

Li Zizi was puzzled: "What's wrong with the last word? It's not that I didn't say it." ”

“…… It's nothing. He really can't expect a nine-year-old child to know the point of the message.
