Chapter 34: The Father Goes to the Brother

Cuilian is also an extremely miserable woman, her father and mother died before she was ten years old. One of the elder brothers in the family has just reached adulthood and has not yet married a daughter-in-law. Cuilian took on the work that all the women in the family should do, but fortunately her brother was also very hardworking, and he never complained about the heavy work in the field when he was busy in the field.

finally survived until my brother became a family, and a sister-in-law shared some housework. I never thought that my brother would marry a tigress and come back, and call Cuilian like a maid. Her sister-in-law also relied on her mother's family to have some financial resources, so she felt that she was married, and she nagged every day that she was a phoenix and fell into the crow's nest.

Cuilian's brother is honest and unassertive, and he married a daughter-in-law who is quite attractive, and his mother-in-law's family often helps him. For this reason, he didn't dare to disobey his daughter-in-law's wishes, and he didn't care about his sister-in-law when he saw her being wronged.

Cuilian's sister-in-law is a mean person, and she has an eye for money. Seeing that others followed Situ Cheng and really earned money, she didn't care about Cuilian's reputation or anything, so she let Cuilian follow to learn weaving.

Although her brother and sister-in-law are not good to herself, Cuilian is grateful that she was brought up by her brother since she was a child, and the money she earned was also handed over to the family.

Situ Ming knew about her situation at home, and persuaded her to keep some for herself. She was a solid-eyed child, and she never hid a penny. Until now, her sister-in-law has said so.

Cuilian just whimpered and cried in the house, no matter how ugly her sister-in-law scolded in the yard, she just didn't dare to come out. Her sister-in-law saw Situ Cheng holding a firewood knife in front of the door, and she didn't dare to break indiscriminately.

After scolding for a while, he had no strength, and said to Situ Cheng in a dumb voice:

"Don't be complacent, dare to meddle in my family's affairs, sooner or later you will suffer."

After saying this, he walked out with a low scolding in his mouth.

Situ Ming stood in the courtyard for a long time, and didn't see Cuilian's sister-in-law come back. He put down the wood knife, put up the bamboo curtain and went into the house.

"What is your sister-in-law going to do this time, making such a big fuss?" Situ asked.

"Sister Ming, you must help me this time. If she was usually in a bad mood at home, I would admit that she beat and scolded me, but this time she was ready to sell me. Cuilian replied with a sob.

A woman follows her father at home, and her husband after marriage. Cuilian's parents had already died, and if his brother had any arrangements for her, she couldn't object to it.

"How did your sister-in-law know about selling you, and where is she going to sell you?" Situ asked again.

"My sister-in-law said she was going to marry me off in a few days, and she told me about it this morning." Cui Lian replied.

Cuilian is the same age as Situ Ming, but she is only thirteen years old, and she is not yet in time, how can she get married. However, it is not uncommon for rural women to marry at the age of twelve, and to have children at the age of thirteen.

"Originally, I heard her say that I should get married, and I thought it was strange. When will she plan for me, she must have ulterior motives. She also said that the dowry of her in-laws in the future has been reduced, and her in-laws are extremely wealthy in the county. Cuilian continued.

"Don't worry, take your time." Situ Cheng comforted her.

I didn't feel at ease, so I secretly listened to my brother and sister-in-law's conversation. It turned out that they were going to sell me, what kind of dowry, it was clearly the payment. Listen to them, the family has already paid half of it, and when I arrive, I will settle the rest. Cuilian couldn't say it on time for a long time, and Situ Ming was not in a hurry.

"Where the hell are they going to sell you?"

"I don't know, it's definitely not a good place, I told my sister-in-law that I wouldn't marry, and she beat me with a rolling pin. You think, if you really want to marry a decent person, why does she not care about me? Aren't you afraid of hurting me and not being able to explain to that family? Cui Lian said.

"You haven't figured anything out, these are all your random guesses, don't cry yet, your eyes are swollen from crying." Situ persuaded him.

"Although it is said that the marriage of our peasant family is not so grand, then it is necessary to hire three media and six people. Why did my sister-in-law go back to her parents' house yesterday and give my family affairs a decision? She must have sold me. ”

After talking for a long time, it turned out that Cuilian didn't understand the truth of the matter at all, but Situ Cheng thought to herself, according to Cuilian's sister-in-law's usual style, Cuilian also guessed that this matter was not far from ten. Either sold to large families as concubines, or sold to those filthy places.

Cuilian also earns a lot of money a month with Situ Ming, and her sister-in-law will not give up this long-term cash cow for a little money. Cuilian is more auspicious this time, maybe the next life will be over.

At noon, when the Shi couple came back for dinner, they also heard about Cuilian. Mrs. Shi gave Situ Cheng a color, and Situ Ming understood and followed Mrs. Shi to the kitchen.

"Mother, do you have anything to ask me?" She asked Aunt Shi.

"Although Cuilian's child is pitiful enough, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs. Cuilian's sister-in-law is not a good stubble, and her mother's family also has some power. You said, it's not a long-term plan for Cuilian to hide in our house. Mrs. Shi said to Situ Cheng earnestly.

"Is it just watching Cuilian being pushed into the fire pit by her sister-in-law? There's always a way. Situ Ming said to Aunt Shi.

"Hey, it's hard!" Aunt Shi sighed.

Cuilian's sister-in-law is so easy to send, before noon, she invited the lieutenant chief.

There is such a position in this dynasty, with 100 households as a mile, 5 miles as a township, and one person in each mile. This lieutenant is in charge of many miscellaneous affairs in Shanggezhuang, Xiagezhuang, and Shijia Village. It's all trivial things such as parents' shortcomings, quarrels and brawls.

The chief's house was in Xia Gezhuang, and he was having lunch at home, when he saw Cuilian's sister-in-law crying with tears and snot and walking into his yard. said that someone in Shijia Village tied up her sister-in-law, and she was not allowed to go home without food or drink.

As soon as the lieutenant heard this, it was worth it, this would kill someone, who was so bold, so he followed Cuilian's sister-in-law to the Shi family.

When Situ Ming heard the chief say this, she was immediately angry and funny, Cuilian's sister-in-law can really talk nonsense. The lieutenant also heard some of Situ Ming's deeds and knew that this little girl was not an ordinary person. He said to Situ Ming:

"Nizi, I know you're not a bad person. I've heard about what you've done in Shijia Village in the past six months. How many people have come to me to accuse you of not abiding by "women's morality", demagoguery and corrupting people's minds. Because I know that you are still kind-hearted, I haven't done anything to you and your family. But if you want to detain someone else's daughter and prevent her from going back, that's your fault. ”

Situ Cheng said respectfully: "Captain, you have to speak according to your conscience." You asked Cuilian's sister-in-law to say in front of Cuilian, what is going on. ”

Cuilian's sister-in-law stood behind the chief and said, "Didn't you stop Cuilian from going back, since Cuilian, the child is often with you, her temperament has also changed." I used to be a little girl who was so well-behaved, but now I dare to speak up to my elders, and I have worked hard all these years to treat her as my own daughter......"

"Okay, okay, like you, you either beat or scold Cuilian every day, and kiss your daughter." Situ Zhen had never seen such a shameless person full of lies.

"You wild girl of unknown origin, wild seed miscellaneous, don't you give me anything to do here, don't you dare to do anything to you?" Cuilian's sister-in-law scolded Situ Ming.

"If you have something to say, talk well, and do something with a dirty mouth." The lieutenant saw that Situ Cheng blushed angrily, and was busy persuading left and right.

"Nizi, listen to me and let her sister go home. To put it mildly, don't say that she beat and scolded her sister-in-law, she sold her sister-in-law, and others are not easy to take care of this matter. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the father dies from the brother, do you understand this rule? The lieutenant said bluntly.

"Also, Cuilian, you can't stay in someone else's house all the time, right? Go back and discuss your family affairs with your brother and sister-in-law, so as not to harm the innocent. ”

The lieutenant said to Cuilian again.

Situ Cheng was helpless, so she had to watch Cuilian cry and follow her sister-in-law back.
