Chapter 81: The Lame Cause
Most of the dishes prepared by Widow Miao's mother's family were inedible, only the rice tube was enough, and finally Yin Seventeen racked his brains to make a dish and a soup, and there was a small pot of rice that two people could manage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After washing the dishes and chopsticks after dinner, Yin Seventeen ran to the next-door neighbor of Miao's widow's house to run the door.
The next-door neighbor is a large family of seven or eight people, and when he saw that Yin Seventeen was an official errand, he called a chicken and a dog to jump at that moment, and finally she calmed down and quieted down, and he didn't dare to look at her and talk to her.
Yin Seventeen is here to ask questions and set up facts.
How can you ask questions about being so detained?
At the same time, I thought in my heart that it was fortunate that Zhan Da Hunting didn't come with him, otherwise there would be no need to ask about anything, and it would be a worse mess.
Among the seven or eight people, Yin Seventeen finally found a lady who was not too scary and dared to talk to her, so she pulled the eldest lady to sit down in the house, wanting to have a family routine with the eldest lady Lala Miao and the widow sisters and brothers.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yin Seventeen started, the eldest lady directly poured her a basin of cold ice water:
"Poor master, although we live next door, we ......"
The eldest lady looked at Yin Seventeen as if she had done something wrong.
Yin Seventeen encouraged: "It's okay, auntie, this past has passed!" ā
The eldest lady Fang Qi Ai Ai began to say: "This Zhulan sister and brother are also hard-working people, they have no parents when they are young, and they are a little bit close to the relatives and do not care much about the sisters and brothers, those years when they can't take care of themselves, the Zhulan sisters and brothers also rely on the kindness of the villagers to live a ......."
Although this is the case, not every villager is good to Miao's widow and brother.
For example, the eldest lady's family in front of him disliked the bad luck of the sisters and brothers, and the father and mother, so although they were only separated by a wall, they had never interacted.
Therefore, the eldest mother's family actually doesn't know much about the Miao widow and siblings, but only knows a rough idea.
And this probably, Yin Seventeen has caught a key point:
"Auntie, you said that Zhu Song's right leg was accidentally lame two years ago?"
The eldest lady nodded and said, "Yes!" It was before Zhu Song drowned in the Willow River...... About a month!
Because of the past two years, the eldest mother also remembers a little vaguely.
In addition, the eldest mother's family doesn't like to inquire about people's rights and wrongs, not to mention that the Miao widow's family next door is still a sister and brother who have always been considered unlucky by their family, so the eldest mother's family doesn't know much about the affairs of the sisters and brothers.
Although the eldest mother said that Zhu Song suddenly lame her right leg about a month before she drowned two years ago, she couldn't say what the reason was, and asked the rest of the family, but they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.
As for Zhu Song's sister Miao Widow Zhu Lan, although the eldest lady didn't know much about Miao Widow, she told Yin Seventeen about a person, saying that this person had a very good relationship with Miao Widow, and even the embroidery embroidered by Miao Widow when she was not married was taken to the county by this person to sell!
This person's name is Miao Hui.
Yin Qiqi first went out of the Miao widow's mother's house next door, and after telling Zhan Yan about the clues provided by the lady next door, the two went out and went directly to this Miao Hui's house.
Miao Hui's family lives quite close to the Ye ancestral hall, but it is separated by two alleys.
When she arrived at Miao Hui's house, Miao Hui was not there, but her husband was there, coaxing the baby to sleep.
The arrival of Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen caught Miao Hui's husband a little off guard, but he was not surprised, Yin Seventeen felt that he simply didn't expect that the poor master would actually find his door.
After Miao Hui's husband put the baby to sleep and sat in the hall with Zhanyan and Yin Seventeen to talk for a while, the two knew that Miao Hui had gone to her sister's house.
And Miao Hui's sister turned out to be Miao Tie's wife, called Miao Xian.
The two had to chat with Miao Hui's husband and wait for Miao Hui.
Widow Miao's family is quite far away from Miao Hui's family, but because Widow Miao's embroidery work is sold under Miao Hui's matchmaking, the two families are also diligent in moving, even closer than those relatives who are related to Widow Miao.
The matter of Widow Miao is a matter of the woman's family after all, and Miao Hui's husband has never known much about it, but Zhu Song knows some things.
And the cause of why Zhu Song was lame in his right leg, Miao Huifujun happened to know something.
The matter has to start with the death of Miao's widow and parents.
Since that time, the Miao widow sister and brother are young and have no ability to be self-reliant, and the big guys thought that those relatives of the Miao widow's family with a little blood relationship would help one or two, and even simply adopted the Miao widow sister and brother.
But I didn't think about it, but the so-called relatives of those families pushed one after another, and they still said unclean words.
Miao Hui's husband recalled: "That would be a terrible thing to say! What do you say that Zhu Lan and Zhu Song are disaster stars, and they are destined to take grams, and they specialize in the people around them! ā
As a result, not only did they not help the young Miao widow sister and brother, but they fell into the well and spread those heart-wrenching words to people in the neighboring villages.
All of a sudden, there were one or two families who wanted to take in Widow Miao's sister and brother also flinched, saying that they were afraid that the words of the disaster star would be true, and they would be fishy, and they were all afraid that they would die early in the end like Widow Miao's parents.
In this way, the Miao widow and brother had to rely on each other, and the two stayed in the house left by their parents to eat the surplus food until they ran out of food.
After all, they are the villagers, and they can't see the sisters and brothers starved to death.
So the head of Bianye Village took the lead, and the Miao widow and brother still lived in their own home, but every day the village took turns to bring out some food for the Miao widow and sister.
Yin Seventeen sighed: "That's okay, I'm not hungry at all." ā
Miao Hui's husband sneered: "It's always someone else's child, and people's hearts are always unpredictable, where is there really a person who has no worries about food and clothing since then?!" ā
The village chief took the lead, and the villagers also responded.
But most of them were under the pressure of the village chief, and they were not sincere, and the food they took out each time was either half-broken or dirty and difficult to eat, but fortunately, Widow Miao was strong, and Zhu Song was also sensible, both of them still smiled and took the food they got every time, and bent down vigorously to thank them.
Food is available, but clothing is a problem.
The Miao widow and brother were young, and when they were growing their bodies, although they did not eat very well, they did not starve to death, so their bodies grew day by day, but there were no big clothes to change.
Received a few clothes from a few families who sincerely helped the sisters and brothers, and each time the Miao widow was dismantled and redone for Zhu Song to wear, and the rest was also made by herself, if there was no left, she continued to wear shorts and shorts with half of her arms and half of her calves.
Clothes that don't fit are still clothes after all, and Widow Miao continued to wear them without disgust.
Of course, there is no choice.
On a winter afternoon, Widow Miao was still wearing very little clothing.
Under the winter sun, she fetched well water in the yard to wash her clothes, and even though her face was frozen red and her hands were frozen, she still tried to carefully wash one of Zhu Songnan's thicker robes.
At this time, the courtyard gate was suddenly knocked open, and it was the famous gangster Miao Pin in Bianye Village.
Zhu Song went to the field to pull weeds and did not come back, leaving only Miao Widow and a weak woman at home.
Miao Pin stumbled into the courtyard, and Widow Miao stood up in shock.
At that time, she was only fifteen years old, and although her hands were rough from years of work, the skin on her body seemed to be unworn by external forces, and she was naturally fair and tender.
Miao Pin's eyes were drunk, and in his eyes, the fifteen-year-old Miao widow was a beautiful flower like a flower bone.
He walked drunkenly and pounced on Widow Miao.
Zhan Yan asked, "What happened later?" Who saved Widow Miao? ā
Hearing this, Yin Seventeen just wanted to ask this question, but Zhan Yan had already asked one step ahead of her.
Miao Hui's husband looked at Zhanyan.
It's very strange that everyone else has a certain amount of horror about the poor master, but he doesn't, he is completely respectful, not shocked or panicked, like a county man who has seen a lot of the world, not like an honest rural farmer.
Miao Hui's husband said: "Later, Zhu Song came back, and brought a person, when the two entered the yard, Miao Pin was pressing on Zhu Lan, then Zhu Song was like a red-eyed cow, and knocked Miao Pin to the side, but unfortunately he hit the pillar under the eaves, and suddenly Miao Pin's head was bleeding ......"
At that time, with a ruthlessness and hatred, Zhu Song was fearless, and afterwards saw that Miao Pin was hit on the head by him and was broken, bleeding all over the ground, and passed out.
After all, he was only a thirteen-year-old underage boy, and seeing such a bloody scene involving human life, Zhu Song panicked!
After Widow Miao got up and tidied up the clothes that had been torn off, she was also stunned when she saw Miao Pin lying motionless under the courtyard wall.
Later, it was the person who came to the house with Zhu Song to deal with the matter.
Miao Pin did not die, but because the Miao widow and brother were helpless, and none of his parents and uncles were good, he found Hawthorn.
They stood in front of the courtyard of the Miao widow's mother's house, shouting loudly that they would ask the sisters and brothers to pay a hundred taels of silver before they could give up, otherwise they would take over the house that the Miao widow and sister and brother relied on to shelter from the wind and rain.
Yin Seventeen said angrily: "There is really no royal law!" Who do they think they are? Also confiscated the home of the Miao widow sister and brother? What a shame! Even if Zhu Song hurt someone, it was Miao Pin's intention to insult Miao's widow first! He deserves it! ā
After venting her anger with indignation, she turned to ask again:
"When Miao Pin bullied Miao's widow, none of the two neighbors next door came out to help?"
Miao Hui's husband listened to Yin Seventeen's indignant scolding, and just smiled and replied:
"At that time, one family happened to go to the neighboring village to go to relatives, and the other family was the family where the two poor masters would find my family Miao Hui. Do you think that people who don't listen to anything outside the window will lend a helping hand to the Miao widow at that time? ā
Although Zhan Yan had never seen the family next door to Widow Miao, Yin Seventeen had visited and inquired about it, but after listening to what Yin Seventeen said, he felt that such a family must have been a cold bystander at that time.
Yin Seventeen also thought so: "No...... How did the person who came home with Zhu Song at that time solve the problem of Miao Pin's hooligan? ā
Miao Hui's husband said: "That person has some family background, so he compromised and made some silver taels to quell the turmoil of Miao's widow sister and brother. ā
Yin Seventeen asked, "Who is that person?" ā
Miao Hui's husband said: "That person's name is Ye Qisheng. ā
Ye Qisheng again?
Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan glanced at each other, it seemed that they would have to go to Ye Qisheng's house first when they went back.
Zhan Yan listened to Miao Hui's husband speak in an orderly manner, and his head was Taoist, like a person who had read many books, so he asked:
"After talking about it for so long, I still don't know what to call this big brother?"
Yin Seventeen also looked at Miao Hui's husband, and she also noticed the difference between him and ordinary croppers.
Miao Hui's husband smiled lightly: "Let Zhan Zhutou call him big brother, I don't dare to take it!" ā
His name is Miao Xiangle, a famous talent in Bianluo Village, who was hired by Master Zhou's mansion in Hongsha County to teach his two sons.
Miao Xiangle is in his early twenties, and he doesn't pay attention to his dress, he is also a rough cloth coat, but he has a clean and polite temperament with the croppers next to him.
After winning the Xiucai exam, he frequently failed in the re-exam, not because he was not good at learning, but because someone always squeezed down or replaced him with the ranking he deserved.
At first, once or twice, Miao Xiangle complained about making trouble, but then he lost the idea of taking the test again.
Master Zhou in the county knew the real reason why Miao Xiangle had failed several times, and he also appreciated him, so he hired him as a master to teach his two sons to read and write.
Yin Seventeen was surprised: "It turned out to be Master Miao!" ā
Zhan Yan also hugged his fists and said: "Disrespectful! ā
Miao Xiangle said: "Don't dare! I am like thunder in the county, and now I have to sit and talk face-to-face like this, which is really a blessing! ā
Zhanyan is not good at words, so the mutual humility between the two with Miao Xiangle ended here.
There was also a sound at the courtyard gate, and Miao Xiangle got up and said:
"I think it's Ah Hui back!"
When I opened the door and came back, I saw Miao Xiangle and a young woman with beautiful eyebrows walking in.
This young woman is Miao Hui.
The four of them sat down again at the square table in the hall.
Miao Xiangle poured four cups of tea and gave Miao Hui a drink to quench his thirst, and then he began to continue talking about why Zhu Song was lame in his right leg two years ago.
Ye Qisheng saved Widow Miao and Zhu Song, which is equivalent to the reinvention benefactor of the sister and brother.
The gratitude of the Miao widow sister and brother to Ye Qisheng is self-evident, but wherever the sister and brother can help, the sister and brother spare no effort to help.
Miao Xiangle said: "Later, there was a time when the harvest was not good in winter, Zhu Song and Ye Qisheng went hunting on Alishan together, thinking that hunting some game could be eaten, and some silver could be sold for the winter, but unexpectedly, it was ......."
Ye Qisheng accidentally stepped on the air and almost fell off the slope, but fortunately, Zhu Song was next to him at that time and grabbed his hand in time.
But when Zhu Song finally pulled Ye Qisheng back to the slope with great effort, he followed in the footsteps of Ye Qisheng when he relaxed his whole body strength, stepped on the empty foot and fell down the slope.
The slope was full of thorns and gravel, and Zhu Song did not fall and lose his life, but broke a leg.
Ye Qisheng asked a doctor to heal Zhu Song's leg with all his might, but unfortunately he couldn't cure it completely.
Zhu Song's right leg was not broken and he could walk, but he was lame.
Miao Xiangle said: "Ye Qisheng blamed himself very much afterwards, but Zhu Song said that he was repaying his kindness, and he didn't blame Ye Qisheng for ......." Surprised and surprised to look at the concession (to be continued.) )
