Chapter 2: Empty Joy
Sure enough, the people down the hill heard the shouts and quickly climbed up. When the young students who arrived first saw Dong Rong in a hurry but had nowhere to hide, they hurriedly stepped forward and surrounded her.
Among them, those who are honest and honest naturally abide by the rules and etiquette, and they refuse to get closer to Dong Rong after three steps. But there are also second-rate people who have bad conduct on weekdays and often peek at widows taking baths, so they plan to take advantage of the opportunity, so they grinned and laughed, "Little sister-in-law, what are you running, if you are really not a rare stupid pillar, shout, brother, I will accompany you to gossip to relieve boredom." ”
Saying this, the next life wanted to step forward and touch Dong Rong's little hand and eat some tender tofu.
Dong Rong glanced at his yellowed front teeth, and felt extremely disgusted, and rewarded him with a shadowless foot without thinking about raising his legs. The latter was defenseless, screamed in pain, and then clenched his fists and wanted to step forward to take revenge, "You wild girl, you really think you are some kind of delicate lady, you dare to kick me!" ”
Dong Rong had learned a little bit of self-defense techniques for women in her previous life, and she was not afraid of suffering losses in her later life, but now her arms and legs are as thin as reed sticks, and it is obvious that she will only be beaten. She was regretting that she shouldn't have been impulsive just now, and she didn't want to stand on the side of the pillar but suddenly grabbed Housheng's fist and slammed him hard, "What are you doing, my father said that only I can beat my daughter-in-law, and no one else can touch it!" ”
"Phew, you two fools, the dog bites Lu Dongbin..."
Seeing this, the few young people who watched the excitement couldn't help but smile and stepped forward to comfort them, and at the end, they hurriedly hugged Dong Rong and the stupid pillar down the mountain. Walking all the way through the village, men, women and children all pointed at Dong Rong and whispered, some gloated, some showed pity, but none of them planned to help intercede.
The old couple of the Cao family had been waiting in front of their own courtyard for a long time, and when they saw their son and daughter-in-law coming back, Mrs. Cao immediately scolded, "Dead girl with no conscience, you were bought back by our Cao family for ten taels of silver, and you dare to run away, see if I don't discount your legs!" As she spoke, she picked up the flat pole next to the courtyard gate and waved it in the wind, and Dong Rong subconsciously reached out and hugged the shoulder of the stupid pillar. Silly Zhu seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he didn't dodge.
The neighbor on the side persuaded half-truths and half-truths, "Old sister-in-law, you can dissipate your anger, since this daughter-in-law has spent a lot of money to marry back, wouldn't it be a loss if she broke it?" ”
Mrs. Cao is a well-known and good-looking woman in the village, otherwise she would not be angry with her stupid son to marry a girl from a talented family as a daughter-in-law just because of a few gossips from outsiders. Hearing everyone say this at this time, she felt that her family was even more annoyed when she realized that her family was ugly, so she ran to Dong Rong without hesitation.
At this critical juncture, suddenly someone in the distance shouted, "Stop! Don't hit my sister! ”
Everyone was surprised, and when they turned around, they saw a panting half-grown offspring stumbling not far away, I don't know if it was because he was in a hurry on the road, and the half-used robe on his body was stained with dew and dust, and he looked very wolf.
The villager who knew each other on weekdays muttered in a low voice, "It's lively now, the Dong family's Xiaoxiu is here." ”
The person next to him was also full of excitement, and opened his mouth to correct, "Didn't you say that you didn't get into the show, at most you are a child." ”
The person who spoke before consciously lost face, and retorted, "That's not bad, let you take the test, you can't even pass the test." ”
The two of them were arguing like this, and Dong Ping had already rushed to the front.
Mrs. Cao was a little weak and wanted to put down the flat burden in her hand, and then thought of her mother-in-law's identity and tried her best to straighten her back, half cheering for herself and half justifying, "Who said that I can't fight, no one can care about being a mother-in-law's lesson to her daughter-in-law!" ”
Dong Ping ignored her, grabbed Dong Rong who was hiding behind the stupid pillar and protected her beside him, and only then did he frown and retort at the end, "What the eldest lady said is not right, the elders should be kind and humble, and the juniors can only admonish if they have mistakes, how can they beat people?" ”
Cao Pozi was blocked and blushed a little, and said forcefully by the neck, "I'm just scaring her, where is I really going to fight." ”
Dong Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak again, but Dong Rong, who didn't want to be in a daze all the time, suddenly hugged him tightly and cried, "Little brother, why are you here too?" Didn't you go on a mission, did you die too? ”
Dong Ping was almost out of breath when he was hugged by his sister, and he was clueless when he heard this, so he quickly pulled her away and whispered comfortingly, "Sister, don't be afraid, Brother Ping is here, let's discuss something together." ”
Brother Ping? Isn't it a military army?
Dong Rong wiped a handful of tears suspiciously, and hurriedly looked at the handsome young man in front of her. I saw that his eyebrows were like ink, his eyes were bright, his nose was high, his lips were red and thin, he was a very handsome and beautiful young man, and he really looked the same as her younger brother who had depended on her since childhood. Just take a closer look and you will find that the temperament of the two is completely different, this young man has an elegant demeanor with three points of youth, while her younger brother is extremely resolute and decisive because he has been a soldier all year round.
Could it be that she recognized the wrong person, and it was another empty joy?
Dong Ping saw that his sister was very anxious when he was in a daze, and after thinking about it, he leaned into her ear and whispered, "Sister, you believe me!" Five years, no, I will definitely pass the exam in three years, and then the scenery will take you out. Sister, don't think about it, if you have something, what if I'm the only one left? As he spoke, he remembered the days when his sister and brother had relied on each other for their lives over the years, and tears couldn't help but crackle and fall.
Although the villagers who were watching the excitement around couldn't hear what the Dong family sisters and brothers said, they saw the two crying so sadly, and they all felt compassion for a while. The old man spoke, "Brother Cao, Brother Sister Cao, this girl from the Dong family suddenly changed places to live a life, maybe she is not familiar with it, so she is a little unsettled, don't be too difficult for her, after all, the pillar will have to be taken care of by this girl in the future." ”
