26. One thing rushes another
Sure enough, Shi Niang knew that Xiuwen was pregnant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info went home and locked Xiuwen in the house and beat her up. But Xiuwen didn't tell Su Tong in the end.
The fifth master only heard about the officers and soldiers coming in the second half of the morning. I was relieved to see that the family was safe. said: "It seems that we haven't moved people yet, and they are going to kill us all." ”
Grandpa said angrily: "What good things did you do with Sanhui again?" Summoned all the officers and soldiers. ”
The fifth master shouted: "Second brother, you have wronged the two of us." "I told Sanhui about hunting to the tiger, and someone wanted to make money and kill someone. Grandma slapped Cheng Linghui on the back, and her angry eyes burst into tears: "You kid, you don't say a word when you come back with such a big thing." ”
Grandpa was silent for a long time, and said, "In this way, let Sanhui and her mother and daughter go to live with her uncle for a while." Avoid the limelight of officers and soldiers. ”
The fifth master looked at his grandfather, and didn't want to taste it: "Then Xu Liangzheng's kid just let it go?" ”
Grandpa glared at him: "Don't fix those private things for me." Naturally, I wouldn't let him go so easily, but I went to him to seek justice with dignity. ”
The fifth master disagreed: "Justice? What justice is there to say about such a person? ”
Grandpa said, "Don't worry about it. ”
The only mule in the family could no longer pull the car because of his old age. Cheng Linghui pulled the car. Xiuwen's mother and daughter sat in the car. took advantage of the night to go to Uncle Walnutping's house under the escort of Grandpa and Fifth Master.
It was already the middle of the night when I arrived at my uncle's house.
Uncle is a bit crooked. Grandpa doesn't like him very much, and he rarely interacts with him. But he is very righteous to Cheng Linghui's family. It's too good for my aunt to say anything. I heard that I had confronted my mother for my aunt back then. His father Tao (can't be provoked) can't help him, so he divided him early and lived his own life. Therefore, my uncle does not live with his parents.
Hearing what happened in the morning, my uncle slapped his thigh and scolded: "This little bastard is tired of life, wait for me to find someone to clean him up." ”
Grandpa hurriedly said: "I will deal with Xu Liangzheng's affairs, don't interfere." Just let Sanhui and her daughter-in-law stay here to avoid the limelight for two days. My uncle hurriedly agreed. He also said that he was afraid that the grandfather and the fifth master would meet a wolf when they went back, so they said that they would wait until dawn before leaving.
My uncle's house is a big place. Two in and two out of the blue brick house. It's much better than Cheng Linghui's family. My aunt cleaned up two rooms overnight and took out new bedding and laid them out. The big house is for Cheng Linghui and Xiuwen to live in, and the smaller room is for Shi Niang.
After dawn, Grandpa and Fifth Master went back. Cheng Linghui and Shi Niang's mother and daughter stayed in Waltaoping. Uncle waited for his grandfather to leave, and as soon as he left, he took out a musket and pinned it to his waist, so he had to collapse Xu Liangzheng. It's still my aunt who said that she would stop him.
The uncle turned his head and asked Cheng Linghui about the process of fighting the tiger. Q: What happened to the tiger skin? Cheng Linghui told him that he was still with the fifth master. Uncle said: "How can I keep it there?" If you want to rest assured, leave it to me, and I will find someone to help you with it. Insurance sells for a good price. ”
Although grandpa has always told him not to get involved with his uncle, thinking about the family's poor situation, Cheng Linghui is still a little tempted. When it got dark, he returned to Chengjiazhuang with his uncle and took the tiger skin from the fifth master. The fifth master is noncommittal about this kind of thing, but he just tells his uncle that Cheng Linghui must not be involved. My uncle said nonchalantly, "I know." You don't have to worry about it. ”
The fifth master snorted coldly: "What am I worried about you doing?" I'm afraid you'll harm my grandson. The old man has suffered from the present world, don't take it easy, you kid. ”
My uncle didn't answer, and said with a smile: "I'm leaving, I'll invite you to drink another day." ”
Originally, my uncle was going to take Cheng Linghui to find the person who made the tiger skin, and said that he would take her to see the world by the way. I don't know if the words of the fifth master played a role, and in the end he went alone.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, it snowed lightly. This is the first snow since the beginning of winter this year, and it has not fallen much. My uncle, who had been out for a few days, came back with a light snow. Carrying a large bag and a small bag on his back. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Fang'er, I'm back." "Fang'er is my aunt's nickname.
My aunt came out, and she was still a little embarrassed when she was in her forties: "What are you yelling for?" Not afraid of children's jokes? ”
Speaking of which, my aunt is also a mother-in-law. All three of her sons are married. There are several grandchildren and daughters. The daughter married to another province, and the road was too far. I haven't been back for two or three years.
Taking advantage of her aunt's unpreparedness, her uncle stretched out his head and kissed her on the face. My aunt blamed, "Are you crazy? ”
Uncle laughed in a low voice: "I think you are crazy." After speaking, without waiting for his aunt to beat him, he shouted loudly: "Stinky boys, grandpa is back." Whoever runs slower is gone. "Suddenly the door opened, and five little children with snotty noses shouted 'Grandpa' and ran out. probably heard his uncle's voice and had already picked up the door, waiting for his grandfather to say hello.
The uncle crouched down and asked each child to kiss him on the face. Then they each gave a gadget. The kids got something and scattered and went to play. My aunt wiped my uncle's snot and saliva that was rubbed all over by the children, and said with a smile: "I'm a grandfather, and I don't have a proper shape." ”
The uncle wiped his face clean by his aunt and asked, "What about Sanhui?" ”
My aunt said, "In the backyard." ”
The uncle handed the big bag to the aunt: "There are a few pieces of fabric in here, you can't finish wearing a few pieces for the daughters-in-law." There are also a few pieces of jewelry, if you don't like them, forget them. After speaking, he went to the backyard to find Cheng Linghui.
Cheng Linghui is writing Spring Festival couplets with her three cousins in the backyard. Although my uncle's family was wealthy, none of my three cousins went to school. Seeing Cheng Linghui's pen walking in the dragon, everyone was envious and jealous.
My uncle smiled when he saw it, "You guys are very lively." ”
When the three cousins saw their uncle, they all shouted, "Dad, you're back." But they did their own thing, and no one moved anywhere.
The uncle called Cheng Linghui into the house and took out a bulging money bag and threw it over. Cheng Linghui stretched out her hand and took it: "So many? ”
Uncle casually leaned into the chair, picked up the teapot and took a sip of water: "Look at your little bit of breath." Otherwise, a hundred taels of silver will make you happy and lose your teeth. ”
"One hundred taels?" Cheng Linghui almost couldn't believe her ears: "Uncle, you say it again." How much? ”
The uncle shook his head and sighed, rolled his eyes and ignored her. got up and said, "I have something to do in the front yard, don't bother me when the sky falls." "After that, he left.
Cheng Linghui didn't hear what he said at all. I finally recovered from the surprise of suddenly getting a huge sum of money, and then I remembered whether I wanted to give my uncle some hardship money. With the money bag, I was going to find my uncle. The eldest cousin saw her and shouted, "What are you going to do?" ”
Cheng Linghui was dizzy and said, "Looking for my uncle." ”
The second cousin shook his head: "Don't go." Beware of my dad shooting you with a gun. ”
Cheng Linghui was confused: "Why?" ”
The third cousin said, "Are you stupid? Don't you see my mother here? 'Little Biesheng Newlywed', do you understand? ”
Cheng Linghui's mind is still clouded, and she can't return to her soul. The three cousins collectively supported their foreheads and shouted, "Brother and sister, come and save your man." He's going to die stupid. ”
Cheng Linghui suddenly felt enlightened, and finally knew what they were talking about. Immediately, his face burned like fire, and he turned around and fled back to the house. The gloating laughter of the three cousins rang out outside the house.
For several days, Cheng Linghui felt uncomfortable when she saw her uncle and aunt. My aunt's children and grandchildren seem to have seen it all the time. Happy New Year's celebration as usual. Cheng Linghui's discomfort made her aunt worry for a while.
For this only 'nephew' in her mother's family, her aunt cares about Cheng Linghui far more than her three cousins. Sometimes it has reached the point of perversion, and in the middle of the night, the third watch ran to touch Cheng Linghui's quilt to see if it was warm. scared Cheng Linghui so much that he almost made a move.
After staying for less than ten days, Cheng Linghui felt that if she stayed any longer, she would designate her aunt to torture her crazy. So he left Shi Niang and Xiuwen there and returned to Chengjiazhuang by himself.
When I walked to Chenjia Village, I thought of the second sister. Stop by and take a look at the second sister's house. From afar, I saw the firewood and grass stacks moving straight. When I got closer, I found that there seemed to be a person inside.
The old society was called Hanakota. Cheng Linghui didn't care. Walked to the second sister's house. The second sister's mother-in-law said that the second sister went out to visit the house and was not at home. Cheng Linghui was suspicious at that time. It's not like she hasn't seen the second sister's life at her mother-in-law's house. It's good to be a cow and a horse. Can her mother-in-law have the kindness to let her go to the door?
Cheng Linghui walked back with suspicion. When I walked to the firewood pile again, maybe there was some kind of connection between blood and kinship. Cheng Linghui felt that the person in the firewood pile was the second sister. When I stepped forward to pick up the firewood and grass, tears immediately flowed down. I saw the second sister with a blue nose and swollen face shrunk in the firewood, wearing only shabby single clothes.
"Don't look at me. Sanhui, don't look at me. The second sister covered her face and cried sadly.
Cheng Linghui hugged her and cried, "Second sister, why are you here?" ”
The second sister cried and shook her head: "Don't ask." Let's go. When I went back, I said to my mother, when I die. ”
"Let's go, let's go home." At this moment, Cheng Linghui didn't want anything, she just wanted to take her second sister home.
"I'm already from someone else's family, how can I go back?"
"You don't care. We have the final say. Cheng Linghui said, taking off the cotton robe on her body to wrap the second sister's thin body. I couldn't help but say that I put my second sister on my back and went home.
Seeing the inhuman second sister who had been tortured, the mother and daughter inevitably hugged their heads and cried again.
Cheng Linghui stayed at home for a few days when she heard that Xu Liangzheng of Yushugou was arrested by officers and soldiers. It is said that he caught the Kaizhou Mansion. I don't know if it's dead or alive. I didn't hear about Shi Niang and Xiuwen again. She gradually relaxed.
She now has a hundred taels of silver in her hand to buy tiger skins, and she finally has some confidence in her heart. Don't worry about your family all the time.
The second sister fell ill when she got home. It took more than 20 days to get better. During this period, no one from the Chen family came to inquire, and my mother's heart was cold.
In the blink of an eye, in the middle of February, the Jiujiu River opened. It's time to plant melons and beans again. The family's mule finally died. Grandpa sold it with tears in his eyes. I bought another cow and came back. Cattle are the half-life of a farmer. There are no livestock, and the family can't keep enough land to rely on their grandparents alone.
I just bought a cow in the morning and came back, and in the afternoon, the Chen family came to pick up the second sister. Not only did he not have a half-sentence explanation for what happened to the second sister, but he counted a lot of the second sister's mistakes. The meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was for the cow. If you want the second sister to go back to her mother-in-law's house, you have to give them the cow.
Cheng Linghui didn't wait for her grandparents to speak, and stopped waiting.
