Chapter 43: Death and Denial of Recognition
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mrs. Du looked at everyone, waved her hand and asked everyone to be quiet, and the ancestral hall gradually quieted down.
Old lady Du is the current patriarch and has a very high status in the clan, and both the clansmen and the villagers are willing to listen to his words.
"Changhe, the matter has been told to you, but you said what to do, right?" Old lady Du asked, looking at Du Changhe, who didn't know anything about things.
Du Changhe didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and said in a daze: "The owner is proposing marriage to the boss and letting the four girls be concubines." The boss said that it was related to the future of Da Lang and Erlang, so ······ So······ I didn't stop ······."
Du Changshun was annoyed, patted the small table on the side, and scolded: "There are no natural disasters, and there is no **, I have a good life, where do I want the female baby in the family to go to the pole to be a concubine?" Dahe doesn't understand, don't you, a father, understand these things? ”
Du Changhe shrank and sighed, he can't be the master now. After living in the county for a while, he also felt that it was better to be in the city than in the countryside, and gradually his mind changed, and he felt that exchanging a granddaughter for the future of his son and two grandsons was worth it.
He originally wanted to wait for everything to settle and then announce it outside, so that there would not be too much gossip, but he never expected that the eldest family would want to use the seven girls to replace the four girls as concubines.
They want to be prosperous and rich, and he, an old man, can't stop it, so it's up to them.
But Dahe shouldn't, he shouldn't, he shouldn't, put his mind on the body of the seven girls! Dashan's daughter-in-law regards her children as more important than her life, so how could she agree to let her daughter be a concubine?
Du Changshun saw that his younger brother was like this, what else did he not understand, he was extremely disappointed in his grief and indignation, slapped himself twice, found the ancestral tablet in front of him, poofed, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Dad, mother, it's I, the elder brother, who didn't take care of Changhe!" ”
Du Changhe was taken aback by his brother's actions, and quickly knelt beside his eldest brother, and hurriedly kowtowed to his father's ancestors and ancestors: "Father, eldest brother, it's all my uselessness, I didn't take care of this family, I was dazzled by money." ”
Everyone looked at Du Changshun, they were almost sixty years old, and they were still so bloody and responsible, which was much better than Du Changhe, who was like a soft egg. If this Du Chang and Du Changshun half understand that a good home will not die and score points.
However, the only place where Du Changhe is more successful than Du Chang is that there are more heirs.
Old lady Du gave her son a color, Du Changxing hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Du Changshun up, and said, "Big brother, since Changhe knows that he is wrong, let's talk about what to do now?" ”
Du Changshun stood up under Du Changxing's support and said, "Changhe, you should also get up, if this matter is not handled well, don't think about raising your head in Dujia Village." ”
"Yes, yes!" Du Chang and Ne called it yes.
Du Dahai saw that his father had been punished, and now the matter of selling his daughter as a concubine is irrefutable, but it is absolutely impossible to admit that he let the seventh girl replace the fourth girl as a concubine.
"The sea, you thing with a bad conscience, you think you're arrogant when you make some money in the county, right? You can sell your daughters and nieces today, and you can sell your clansmen and people in the village tomorrow. If you don't punish you this time, you won't be able to say it in front of your clansmen. Old lady Du said in a deep voice, these are all discussed by the clan elders before.
Du Dahai kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy: "Grandpa, uncle, I can't help it, the owner has a crush on my four girls, I can't agree with it." If I don't agree, not only will this account office not be completed, but I will also be retaliated by the owner. The four girls sneaked out of the house, and when I heard that it was at Goro's house, I came to look for it. But I didn't find it, I thought that the Yang family hid the four girls, so I thought about using the seven girls to force the Yang family to release the four girls, and I really didn't think about letting the seven girls be concubines for the four girls. ”
Du Pozi, Liu Guihua, Du Dalang, Du Erlang and others suddenly became enlightened, and now they really can't admit it, anyway, no one else was present to testify about what they said before.
Yang Fugui's eyes were cracked, and he scolded: "Bad things, dare not do it!" If Du Dahai bites this statement to death today, he will really be helpless.
Old lady Du has a headache, this Du Dahai said one thing and did another, since he didn't admit to using the four girls instead of the four girls as concubines, then come to Wulang's house to make trouble, this thing can't run, and the villagers are watching.
Du Pozi hurriedly said: "We are here to find the four girls!" ”
"Wronged, grandpa, we didn't think about asking the seven girls to replace the four girls, but we heard that the four girls were hiding in the Yang family. The Yang family is unwilling to hand over people, so we just want to catch one and let the Yang family hand over the four girls. Liu Guihua hurriedly said, not admitting it.
Du Dalang, Du Erlang was afraid, and hurriedly agreed.
Seeing that they didn't admit it, and there were no other witnesses here, Mrs. Du didn't know how to judge for a while?
Yang Fugui saw that they didn't admit it, and if the stalemate continued, the girl's family would not get any benefits, so he said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Du, since they don't admit it, what we say here has become one-sided, let's just think that these people are looking for people." But let's see, who goes to find someone and wants to fight, and they are ruthless to their own brothers and daughters-in-law, nephews and nieces. If I don't arrive in time, my daughter and grandson, my granddaughter will die. Doing such a rebellious thing that harms blood relatives must not be spared. ”
Du Dahai's face was gloomy, they had been beaten so hard that they couldn't get up just now, and Yang Fugui, an old thing, didn't let them go.
"Patriarch, you can't help outsiders bully our Du family's own people." Du Pozi hurriedly said, except for her face, there is no place on her body that does not hurt.
Yang Fugui said with disdain: "You are still worthy of being your own family, I bah!" If you beat my daughter, grandson, grandson, I Yang Fugui can let you go, and I will live for decades in vain. I can see it clearly today, the Dashan family is a thorn in your eye, and everyone wants to take a bite and pinch it. If I don't give my daughter's family an explanation today, I will take my daughter, Wulang, Seventh Sister, Balang, and Xiaojiu'er to Yangjia Village tomorrow. The Du family can't take care of the orphans in Dashan, and I take care of them. ”
When he said this, he didn't look at Du Pozi at all, but said it to Du Changhe, Du Changshun, and Patriarch Du.
Hearing this, the faces of the people present were hot.
People have good and bad luck, who knows if something bad will happen to them one day! Everyone was angry and felt that Du Changhe and his family were too hateful.
Mrs. Sun stood at the front and said, "Oh, what Brother Yang said is that others haven't bullied yet, but their own family members are bullying people all day long." Patriarch, you have to deal with it impartially and not punish these people, who will abide by the rules and etiquette of the Du family in the future. ”
