Chapter 32: Li Xiao's succession

Before the rest of the Zhang family finished breakfast, the Zhang family came. All the people who came were the elders of the clan.

After everyone saw the salute and said hello. One of them got straight to the point and said: "You are the head of a village, I heard that you have made a lot of things in the mountains in the past two days, what are you going to do?"

Village Chief Zhang said: "Uncle is too anxious, you see that our family has not finished breakfast yet."

Another old man glared at the man who had just spoken and said, "Ergou, you eat quickly." We'll have something to discuss." Zhang Village's eldest name is Zhang Wenli, and his nickname is Ergou. Great-grandfather was a showman. So Village Chief Zhang was literate since childhood. Ever since he became the village chief, no one called him Ergou.

The village chief arranged the people in the outhouse of his room, and the village chief's daughter-in-law poured water. So the two of them went into the old lady's room to eat.

The person who was just called Uncle Clan spoke again: "Zhang Ergou is really capable, put so many elders here, go eat good things by yourself, and don't say let the elders taste it." He muttered and didn't see anyone else answering, so he shut up.

It's winter, and almost every family eats on the kang in the back house. If you're in the yard in the summer, you're going to crash into the yard. When Village Chief Zhang saw the things on the table, the corners of his eyes jumped, their food was too good, and they had to pay attention to it in the future. The main thing is to let the people see it, and I don't know what they have to think.

Village Chief Zhang made enough face, went to the house and told the story of the wild things, and then said: "I decided to give 20 pheasants and 20 rabbits in the clan, and these will be distributed by the elders when they arrive in the clan."

The Zhang clan got what they wanted and left.

There are two days left until the Chinese New Year. Something big happened to the Li family. Dazhu and Erzhu brothers came back from the provincial capital. Erzhu bought a piece of green cotton cloth for Li Xiao, originally he was going to buy red, and girls look good in red. But Li Xiao didn't like red since he was a child, and preferred green. So he ended up with a piece of green. Who knew that when he came home and put the cotton cloth in his daughter's room, he found that his daughter's room seemed to have been unoccupied for a long time.

He went to ask Sanniang, where is the five girls. Sanniang saw that the family did not mention the events of that day. She didn't mention it, wondering if she could just get over like this. It's just that the five girls went to Zhang's house to accompany the four girls, and the second pillar asked about the four girls again, and the third mother said them one by one. Erzhu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't say anything. Sanniang saw that Erzhu didn't ask anything more, and she was relieved.

Two days later, it looks like the New Year is over, and Li Xiao has not come back yet. knew that there must be something hidden from him. So he asked Sixi, and Sixi was very unhappy when he saw that his mother didn't tell his father about it. But he didn't say much, the son didn't say anything about the mother. Erzhu looked for Sanwang again, but Sanwang didn't say anything, he couldn't say anything about the second uncle's family. When the old man saw Sanniang's attitude, he was very angry, so he called Erzhu and his wife into the room to talk.

Sanniang entered the main room in fear. The old man said: "Sanniang, when Erzhu came back, no one in the family said anything. I just want you to talk to Erzhu yourself. You can't hide this, Wuya is the granddaughter of our Li family, and there is no reason to live in the Zhang family during the New Year. If you don't say this, I'll tell you for you." Sanniang's face turned pale when she heard this, her knees fell to her knees, and she complained to Li Xiao, if she came home by herself, there would be no such thing.

The old man saw Erzhu and said: "It's me who is not good with your mother, I married such a mother-in-law for you, and she wants your daughter's life behind your back." I'll be in charge and pass on the five girls to the big house." Erzhu listened in a daze, but he couldn't help but listen to his father's words. Tears began to fall. When the old man saw it, he said, "I know you can't bear her, so you should be okay for her." You don't know what your daughter-in-law has done behind her back. If you change a child, you can die several times."

Erzhu didn't understand when he heard this, he knew that Sanniang had a problem with Li Xiao's murder, but he never thought that Sanniang would want her daughter's life. He thought it would be good if it took a long time, and nothing would happen with him. It's when he's gone, and there's an accident at home. Erzhu nodded in agreement, and then pulled Sanniang back to the room.

Erzhu looked at Sanniang and said: "Tell me what happened as it is, assassinate your children, and if you change your family, you can divorce you." When Sanniang heard Erzhu say this, she immediately knelt at Erzhu's feet, hugged Erzhu and retreated, and said, "Don't leave me, please." We have been married for many years, and Wufu is still young." Crying while talking.

Erzhu said: "You always say, since my father didn't let me divorce you, I won't divorce you at will." ”

Sanniang slowly said how she thought Wuya. She wants Wuya to be like a girl, who can do laundry and cook, and doesn't want her to dance with knives and guns. Erzhu knows about the clothes, she thinks that Li Xiao is so old, it is normal to wash and make clothes by herself, this is nothing.

Sanniang saw Erzhu's reaction and began to say that she just wanted to throw away those bows and arrows and let Li Xiao take care of herself at home. As a result, Li Xiaoda lost his temper and quarreled with her. also said a few words about unfilial daughters, she didn't teach them well. Erzhu was very angry when he heard this, he was angry that Sanniang wanted to lose Li Xiao's bow, he knew that the bow was his daughter's beloved thing, and it was given by her master. Before, he was worried about what the man was trying to do. Later, the old man said that although Wuya wrapped the bow, even the bowstring was not something ordinary people could have. Such a person will not look down on a farmer like them, so he doesn't have to pay attention to it. He didn't dare to care. Hearing that his daughter-in-law didn't throw the bow into it, he was relieved. is also angry that the girl is ignorant and quarrels with the elders.

also said that she didn't deliberately deny Li snacks food, at first she just wanted her to admit her mistakes, and then it became more and more excessive. Erzhu's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he went up and gave Sanniang a few times and said, "You vicious mother-in-law, my daughter's life was not starved to death by you." Sanniang was beaten and cried and defended loudly: "That girl doesn't like to eat food at home, she doesn't even eat chicken legs and rabbit legs outside every day, and she doesn't even eat body meat." Wherever he starved to death. And she has a black heart, and she would rather throw it away than take it back to her brothers to eat, and you still think of her in your heart." When Erzhu heard this, he was also very angry with Li Xiao. Sanniang said that to her, you can talk to him. But if you have something to eat, you don't give it to your family if you throw it away, this is Li Xiao's fault.

Erzhu felt that Sanniang and Li Xiao were both at fault. But when he thought that his youngest daughter was going to be passed on to his eldest brother, he didn't feel good in his heart, after all, he was the one who spoiled him. After two or three years, I said that I was close, so I couldn't stop it.

Erzhu went to Li Xiao's room and looked at the layout in the room. Thinking about the days with my daughter, I cried with my hands over my face.

The next day, he went to Zhang's house and brought Li Xiao back. The Zhang family was reluctant and helpless. I only hate that I have one less son, and if I have more sons, I can marry Li Xiao back.
