Chapter 16 Administering justice
Bai Erniu worked hard to reduce her sense of existence, but she was only to blame, and today's incident was caused by herself. When I invited myself to Xiucaigong, I happened to meet the village chief. The village chief and Xiucai Gong talked a few words about their own affairs, but Xiucai Gong Ma blew his beard and glared, saying something like the world is declining and the people's hearts are not ancient. As a result, Xiucai Gong came here with the village chief, and Bai Erniu had no choice but to follow, but I didn't expect my mother to really make trouble here. I didn't believe it before, my mother also loves face, and she was in her own yard, but why did she come to the village. And under the most lively mulberry tree in the village, Bai Erniu only needed one glance to see that the villagers must know everything.
Bai Erniu doesn't understand, why is she stupid when she is obviously a mother with a very bright brain. Where is this matter taken care of, this will be presided over by the village chief again, I'm afraid it will not be cheap, and I have to make my own house a joke of the whole village! Bai Erniu once again blamed herself for being too useless, she didn't dare to raise her head every time she let her mother scold, and she listened to her mother in everything. The final result is that the person you like obviously can't marry him. On the contrary, the little sisters in the village looked down on them, and the young men in the village also shy away from themselves.
Wang Dali's family glared at Mrs. Bai, and then helped Qiu Ning to walk in front of the village chief, pointed at Qiu Ning and said: "Village chief, I'm afraid that you already know the matter, you see how hungry this Qiu Ning girl is, such a poor little girl, if you let the Bai family bully you again, our Wang family village will be killed." ”
After speaking, he handed Qiu Ning's blood book to the village chief, Xiucai Gong took it first, and then only glanced at it, and immediately his beard became crooked, and it should be said that the whole person was out of breath. The village chief only knew a few words, and when he saw that Xiucai was so angry, he knew that he must be the same as the villagers and himself. did not take the blood book again, but asked the villagers around him to help Xiucaigong. This Xiucai Gong is the most talented, the most educated, and the only one in Wangjia Village. Everyone in the village knows that Lao Xiucai guards Dali, and his mouth is full of people who know the call all day long, but no one doesn't like Lao Xiucai. Just because the old Xiucai is loyal, he is so loyal that he is a little pedantic.
It is not surprising that Mrs. Bai's family can make Xiucai public like this, where are there children and grandchildren in the village who are not filial piety, or whose parents are not kind and partial. The old Xiucai Gong wants to go to that house and say it, and if it makes sense, it will be good, and if it doesn't make sense, it will be angry. The people in the village are not disgusted with the old Xiucai being nosy, but feel that the old Xiucai is pure and kind. In addition, each family also has some red and white ceremonies, and it is necessary to trouble the show to keep accounts. And the only place where the children in the village can read and write is the house of Xiucaigong. That's right, Xiucai Gong is also the only teacher in the village.
Xiucai Gong shook his hands, pointed at Bai Erniu, and felt extremely heartache and pity: "Such an unkind and unkind mother, why don't you know how to use affection, move with reason, and persuade her to convince people with virtue and character." ”
Bai Erniu was speechless, the way Xiucai Gong spoke was already used to the way the villagers were used, and they more or less understood. Everyone couldn't help but want to laugh at this moment, Bai Erniu made a big red face, Bai Erniu was not stupid, and she understood. Xiucaigong means that there is such an unkind mother, why don't you persuade her well? Bai Erniu wanted to say that if her mother listened to persuasion, she would not make so many troubles, so that the whole village would bear her mother, who would not frown and shake her head. The only few families who are good friends with their mothers are all in the same tune as their mothers, but it's a pity that today's families don't dare to come out to speak for their mothers. Bai Erniu felt that Xiucai Gong couldn't do anything about his mother, at most, he made his mother lose face now, and when she returned home, her mother must close the door and scold everyone in the village who could scold enough. And you won't miss the show!
Seeing that no one helped her say a fair word, Mrs. Bai tried her best to find a few people in the crowd who she had friends with on weekdays, hoping that they could stand up and speak for her. But it's a pity that those families all lowered their heads and stood in the crowd as air, not wanting to blend in at all. Whoever spoke for Mrs. Bai today would have offended the whole village, and it was obvious that now the villagers were all on the side of the little girl, and no one would think that Mrs. Bai was pitiful or a little reasonable.
Mrs. Bai looked at Qiu Ning viciously, and really wanted to slap this little cheap hoof to death. It's a pity that now the whole village is helping that little cheap hoof, not to mention that he can't get into it at all, even if he is close, if he really hits, the people in the village will immediately pull themselves away, and there will be more accusations that follow. Mrs. Bai didn't understand, why did she suddenly become the public enemy of the whole village when she had the advantage of her own family.
The village chief looked younger than Xiucaigong, but his hair and beard were also gray, and he didn't want to say anything more when he glanced at Mrs. Bai. "Since this incident happened in Baijia Village today, I, as the head of a village, have to take care of it. Mrs. Bai, if you agree with the Dai Qiuning girl of Wang Dali's family to repay your family's three cold-faced steamed buns and a ragged clothes, the matter will be settled. If you don't agree, I can only administer justice on behalf of this Qiuyue girl, our Wangjia Village has never been so unreasonable and bullying. As the head of a village, I can't allow anyone to ruin the reputation of our Wangjia Village. If the people of ten miles and eight towns knew about this, they would not have poked the backbone of Wangjia Village. The neighboring villages know that there are such evil things in our Wangjia Village, and they are afraid that they are not willing to intermarry with our village. Therefore, whether this matter is from the perspective of the whole village or from my personal point of view, I can't let you deliberately bully Miss Qiuning. ”
Speaking of this, the village chief is reasonable, and he doesn't want to do anything to Mrs. Bai, but he doesn't want to damage the reputation of Wangjia Village because of Mrs. Bai's negligence, and he doesn't want the villagers to be implicated. These ten miles and eight towns are all together, and there are many relatives between villages, and what happens in which village can be known in a few days. Village Chief Wang didn't want the people in the neighboring village to say that he was unfair and that he would not be saved if he died. The reputation of the iron-faced village chief is also bad for the old woman of the Bai family.
Many old men in the village also think that the Bai family is too much, how can they bully people like this, isn't it just three cold-faced steamed buns? Although no one in the village is rich, they don't care about it. Look at the body of Wang Dali's family, there is no gas in and out, the thin little girl, anyone will have sympathy, it is not easy for anyone in these years, and if you can help, you will naturally have to help. You can't watch the Bai family bully people to death! This figure will continue to work for the Bai family, and I am afraid that in the end, I can only do a secret marriage for the Bai family.
Bai Erniu's eyes kept sweeping to him in his heart, and when he found that he frowned and looked dissatisfied, or indignant. Bai Erniu's tears are about to come out, even if she knows him, she will feel that her mother is too much.
