Chapter Twenty-Three: Biaozi's Family Affairs
"Yo, Zhuang Yuanlang still wants to fight, this is not ancient, I don't want you." Qiu Dongqiang rolled up his sleeves and rushed up, "I've grown so big, I haven't beaten a college student yet." ”
As soon as Li Jiatao raised his legs, he kicked on Qiu Dongqiang's stomach, Qiu Dongqiang groaned, Tengteng took several steps back, and sat on the ground.
The crowd laughed, but a few men quietly gathered around.
Qiu Dongqiang shouted to get up, but was hugged by Qiu Lamei, crying: "Brother, if you beat Biaozi again, I will die to show you." ”
Li Jiatao's eyes swept away, and he suddenly made a move, snatched a flat pole from the crowd watching the excitement, took a step forward with his right leg, swept the flat pole, and roared: "If you are not afraid of death, go up, I am justified defense, and it is not worth my life to kill someone!" ”
The men who came up were suppressed, and Li Jiatao looked a little scary at this time, with murderous aura in his eyes!
"Don't mess with you." A middle-aged man in a white coat in the crowd approached, "Do you know who his grandfather is?" Let me tell you, his grandfather is Li Hongjun from Tianma Mountain Forest Farm! Zhuang Yuanlang has learned from Li Hongjun, and you can't beat him! ”
Li Hongjun is a well-known figure in Li Wangzhuang, who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and served as the commander of the militia battalion in the township. Later, I didn't know what happened, so I went to Tianma Mountain Forest Farm to guard the tree. Over the years, those who want to go to the forest farm to steal trees have suffered a lot in the hands of Li Hongjun!
Li Hongjun was famous for his ruthlessness and courage when he was young, and people of the older generation knew that even the thugs who served as bodyguards for the rich before the liberation of the township had several injuries in the hands of Li Hongjun!
As soon as the middle-aged man said this, several men who surrounded him took a few steps back with some fear and put down the guy in his hand.
With a flat burden in his hand, Li Jiatao really didn't scare a few men. Since he was a child, he has been practicing kung fu in the army with his grandfather Li Hongjun, and Li Jiatao's skills are also quite good. But Li Jiatao didn't want to hurt people, they were all villagers, and they didn't look up and look down.
"Sister Lamei, have you got a marriage certificate?" Li Jiatao thought about it, dropped the flat burden in his hand, and shouted at Qiu Lamei who was not far away.
Qiu Lamei was stunned, nodded with red eyes: "Jiatao, don't worry about it, I was also forced." ”
"Biaozi, I can't live with you, I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life!" Qiu Lamei cried at Wang Biao again.
"I don't want to be in the afterlife, Lamei, don't marry the coal." Wang Biao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Biaozi, let's go home." Li Jiatao smiled bitterly, people even have a marriage certificate, what else can Biaozi do, and he is also sad here, "There is no grass at the end of the world!" ”
After a pause, Li Jiatao yelled at the crowd: "You don't want to leave quickly, you want to miss the time to worship the church." ”
In the crowd of relatives, a dark middle-aged man of about forty years old nodded at Li Jiatao a little sneeringly, and with a wave of his hand, the crowd continued on the road. Li Jiatao estimated that the black middle-aged man was the person Qiu Lamei was going to marry, and it was really a flower inserted in cow dung, and the good cabbage was arched by the pig!
The crowd gradually moved away, and Wang Biao sat on the ground with his butt and cried!
Li Jiatao had no choice but to sit on the ground and accompany Li Jiatao.
"I don't want you to care!" Wang Biao suddenly roared, "I know you look down on me, and your daughter-in-law was snatched away." ”
"Biaozi, calm down." Li Jiatao smiled bitterly, "When you go to college and join the job, you can find a better daughter-in-law." ”
Wang Biao ignored Li Jiatao, stood up, and ran to the hillside. Li Jiatao smiled bitterly and shook his head, he really can't take care of this matter, and the motorcycle can't go up the hill, so he can't keep up.
"Biaozi, go home early, don't let your parents worry." Li Jiatao shouted to the hillside and rode home on his motorcycle.
Li Jiatao really doesn't know much about Wang Biao's family affairs, it's all hearsay. But after Wang Biao made such a fuss, Li Wangzhuang exploded again, and all kinds of rumors came out.
Li Jiatao is not much interested in this kind of gossip news, but his mother Sun Xiuying is very concerned, and often says a few words at home, but Li Jiatao does not listen to it.
Qiu Lamei is Wang Biao's daughter-in-law, the year Wang Biao was born, the royal father and Qiu's father in Liuzhuang planted watermelons on the same mountain. In those days, people from poor families were basically driven to work in the mountains, which was called labor reform.
Because both of their daughters-in-law are pregnant, the royal father Qiu's father sits on the hill and chats about the old things: if they are both boys, they will become brothers with different surnames; They are all girls, married to sisters with different surnames; A man and a woman, married and married.
Because it is a large collective era, the two families are not very good, but Yemen is the right one. As a result, Qiu Lamei became Wang Biao's daughter-in-law. This kind of doll kiss is common in the countryside, and there is nothing unusual.
But as time went on, the question of origin became less important. The burden on the Qiu family and the Wang family is very heavy, and they are considered poor households in the township, especially the Qiu family, with six sons and one daughter, so the marriage of the six sons has become a big problem. Qiu's father worked hard to marry the eldest and second of his six sons, spent most of his life savings, and owed more than 10,000 yuan in debt.
The third and fourth elders of the Qiu family have also passed the age of marriage, because they can't marry their daughter-in-law on time, they are full of resentment, and they are unwilling to work and make trouble, which makes the family restless.
One day, the third child actually peeked at the wall of the toilet to see the convenience of the new daughter-in-law, and was discovered by others, poured feces and urine into his mouth, and pulled away the only sow of the Qiu family.
Qiu's father was so angry in his heart, he chased after the third child, but he couldn't beat the third child, but was pushed by the third child, and he was so depressed that he sat on the ground and fanned his face with the soles of his shoes.
But the son was born by himself, and if the third child does not marry a daughter-in-law for a day, the Qiu family will not be at peace for a day. Qiu's father thought about it, so he turned his mind on his daughter Qiu Lamei.
In rural areas, changing relatives is a good option for poor families. But the problem came again, the Wang family only had a few single sons, and Wang Biao didn't have a single sister, so naturally there was no shadow of this family change.
So, Qiu's father found the royal father and opened his mouth to ask for a bride price of 20,000 yuan. But the son of the Wang family is not rich, he just married a daughter-in-law to the eldest and second son, and he also owes a lot of debts, where can he get the bride price of 20,000 yuan?
Qiu's father changed his face and wanted to repent of his marriage!
The royal father naturally didn't do it, and the Wang family didn't give gifts to the Qiu family during the New Year's festival over the years, and spent a lot of money. Besides, in the countryside, the matter of divorce is the most shameful and shameful!
Wang Biao was as unlucky as Li Jiatao, and he repeated his studies for three consecutive years before he was finally admitted to the university. I was finally admitted to the university, and I was still a secondary school. After the score line was lowered, Wang Biao said that he was on the college line, but where did the people in the countryside know the Tao here, they all thought that Wang Biao was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, two words: don't believe it!
No matter what Wang Biao said, he also stepped out of the farm, but Qiu Lamei wanted to talk to Wang Biao. But it will take several years for Wang Biao to graduate from university and join the work, and Qiu's father can't wait.
So, Qiu's father held a methamidophos pesticide bottle and threatened his daughter, if Qiu Lamei and Wang Biao, he would drink pesticides and die in front of Qiu Lamei.
Eventually, Qiu Lamei succumbed. In this kind of thing, a rural woman can't control her own fate, and her only power is to cry!
The royal father took Wang Biao to the door to ask Qiu's father, and happened to meet the coal son who went to propose marriage, that is, the black man who was digging coal underground all day long, and he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, and the two sides had a dispute.
In the course of the dispute, the coal son smashed a handful of brand-new banknotes on the royal father's face, and actually smashed a few cuts in the royal father's face, and the blood flowed!
The royal father was completely deflated and dragged Wang Biao home: "Son, don't think about this marriage, our family has met a white-eyed wolf." Son, remember, this money is just a piece of paper, but it can smash people's faces into blood! ”
The royal father softened, but Wang Biao couldn't swallow this bad breath, plus Wang Biao and Lamei had a relationship over the years, and the "snatching relatives" incident that Li Jiatao saw happened!
For Wang Biao's family affairs, Li Jiatao couldn't help. If Qiu Lamei didn't get a marriage certificate, Li Jiatao now has money in hand, and he can consider lending it to Wang Biao, but now that everyone has received a marriage certificate, mentioning the matter of borrowing money again will only make Wang Biao think that he is laughing at him!
I bought a gift for my family with a travel bag, clothes, shoes, etc., and my grandfather, father, mother, brother, sister, brother and others each had one, and everyone was happy. In Li Wangzhuang, these objects are all rare items.
On the question of the source of the money to buy gifts, Li Jiatao was tortured by his father Li Dagang for a long time. In the end, under Li Jiatao's repeated explanations and the name of Sun Haomin, the director of the Public Security Bureau, Li Dagang believed that the reselling of treasury bills was not illegal and let him go.
Li Jiatao only dared to say that he had earned 4,000 yuan, for fear of scaring his family. After all, 40,000 yuan is too much for a rural person.
