Chen's house was surrounded by neighbors watching the excitement, and everyone had a look of curiosity on their faces.

“…… I've heard that it's not a once-in-a-lifetime trip to that kind of place. A middle-aged daughter-in-law mysteriously said to a chubby woman next to her.

"Qi Linniang's heart is high, isn't she angry now." The other little daughter-in-law whispered as she tugged on the soles of her shoes.

"Who said no, I heard that as soon as I carried it home, Qi Linniang fainted in anger."

“…… Covered in wounds...... Grandma Qi Lin cried like Liu Bei...... can scold her nephew Wang Baozhu vigorously. ”

……

Chen Xuejiao got out of the carriage a few times, hurriedly said goodbye to Han Xingjian, and ran away from the crowd towards home.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the cry of Mrs. Chen from the upper room.

“…… Where did Zhang San come from, beating my son like this...... Look at the ...... of this blood flow My son, since I was a child, I have never touched a finger of my son, and now that I have married a daughter-in-law and have children and daughters, I have let an outsider be so bad. ”

Xue Jiao quietly opened the curtain of the upper room and went in, and walked through the hall to the inner room where Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen lived.

There was a person sleeping on the big kang under the window, covered in black blue and purple, with gauze wrapped around his head, blood stains on his face, swollen eyes into a slit, and his left arm hanging.

Mrs. Chen sat beside Chen Zichang, hugged his head, took a handkerchief to wipe his blood, and snorted every time she wiped Chen Zichang, and Mrs. Chen cried even more when she heard his painful hum. Chen Xuemiao, who was sitting next to Mrs. Chen, cried into tears, and her pink clothes were full of tears.

Old Man Chen sat at the end of the kang, smoking a cigarette pouch, his brows were furrowed, and his face was very ugly.

Chen Qilin stood behind Old Man Chen, his head slightly lowered, the corners of his mouth confined, looking embarrassed. Also, his father was beaten in Fireworks Alley, and it was a disgraceful thing to say it.

Cai and Zhang stood by the door, looking indifferent.

Zhao fainted and lay in the back room, while Xue Yao and Li were looking at her. Chen Xiucai took Chen Zifu and Chen Zigui to invite Langzhong.

“…… Please make so much effort to let my son suffer from this injury......" Mrs. Chen scolded while smearing Chen Zichang's blood with a handkerchief.

Chen Xuejiao knew that Mrs. Chen was clearly scolding Chen Xiucai, she was always like this, putting all the blame on others.

“…… Dad, mother, his second aunt woke up, but she just cried and didn't speak. Li Shi came out of the ear room and said, "I'll let Xue Yao accompany me, and I'll go get her something to eat." ”

"Mother......" Chen Xuemiao cried.

Li glanced at his children and walked out to get food for Zhao.

Xue Jiao quietly followed Li out.

"Mother, how did the second uncle get beaten." In the pot house, Chen Xuejiao asked.

“…… This one...... You kids......" Li Shi stopped talking, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, "You don't understand it." ”

Anyone who is beaten in Fireworks Alley is not easy for adults to tell their children.

Chen Xuejiao thought for a while and said, "When I went to Han's house today, the carriage passed through what fireworks alley, I saw the second uncle through the curtain in the car, he was talking to a woman at the door of a restaurant."

When Li Shi heard this, he hurriedly put down the egg in his hand, held Xue Jiao's mouth and said eagerly: "You can't say this, you can't say it even if you see it, that Fireworks Alley is not a good place, and it is not said by a serious girl." ”

After Li finished speaking, he looked at Xue Rujing and Qi Ping, since Xue Jiao saw it, these children must have seen it, so he instructed in a very stern tone: "You guys are not allowed to speak, do you hear it." ”

Xue Ru and Qi Ping answered honestly, and Jing Hao had tears in his eyes. Li Shi took a breath of talk, and must have seen Wang Baozhu in that dirty place.

"Mother, we won't talk about it. But, mother, let's not say it, the people who went out of the village pointed fingers at our family, wouldn't we have suffered injustice. We don't know anything like this, and when we go out in the future, others will say that we are not easy to refute, so it is better to let us know. Xue Jiao said quietly.

"Mother." Qi An spoke, "My sister is right, since he has done such a bad thing, he is not afraid that others will know." ”

Li Shi stirred the eggs while watching Qi An and talking.

“…… It's not a good place. Qi An spoke with difficulty, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, "Second Uncle hasn't been there once or twice, Xingjian has seen it several times...... I heard that this time I fell in love with Xiao Bailing of Cuihualou. ”

Qi An paused, his face dripping red with blood: "...... That little Bai Ling was Zhang San's person, and the second uncle was beaten by Zhang San. ”

Xue Ru and Jing sounded red.

Xue Jiao asked calmly: "Who is that Zhang San?" ”

"It is said that he is a horse boy who sells horses, his hometown is in Guanzhong, and the road is wild. hit the second uncle, it was Lao Miao's letter to his father. At that time, Xingjian, Siyuan, and San Lang and I happened to see my father rushing over, so we went with him, and Zhang San held the second uncle to ransom a hundred taels, and chopped off the second uncle's hand if he couldn't get the money. When Zhang San saw his father coming, he knew that it was his father's brother, so he didn't ask for ransom, and put the person back, saying that as long as the second uncle appeared in Fireworks Alley, he would see him once and beat him once. Qi An lightly explained the whole story, but took Wang Baozhu off in this matter, in order to take care of Jinghao's face.

Xue Jiao thought to herself, Chen Zichang went to Cuihualou more than once, where did he get the money.

After listening to Jing Hao, her eyes turned red, she gritted her teeth and asked: "Brother Qi An, my father and my father ......" Jing Hao's face was red and dripping blood, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Don't help my father hide it, I saw my father today, and I am with my second uncle, my father is ......"

Jing Hao said, rolling down a string of tears.

"Uncle is fine, I'm back to Wangjiazhuang." Qi An replied embarrassedly.

Jing Hao breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Baozhu was unbearable, but in the end, it was his father, and his blood was there.

"Don't think too much, Sister Jinghao, these things are not in the hands of our girls." Xue Jiao was pale and powerless to persuade.

Li made a bowl of pimple soup for Zhao, beat two eggs, dripped a few drops of sesame oil, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and brought it into the upper room to persuade Zhao to drink it.

“…… Why hasn't Lang Zhong come yet, my son. Mrs. Chen cried breathlessly, "What can I do with the blood all over my body, my son is miserable." ”

continued to scold Zhang San: "It's not good to die, and there is no one to cry when you die." ”

Xue Jiao is not interested in Chen Zichang's affairs, he was beaten by himself, and he can't let the whole family live a mess with him.

She was still thinking about making osmanthus candy.

"Sister Xuejiao," Xuewa quietly took Xuejiao's hand and whispered, "The second uncle was carried home, and the eldest uncle went to invite Langzhong, but the grandmother only cried, and there was no silver, it was the eldest aunt who gave the hairpin on her head to the uncle." ”

What the? Xue Jiao was full of cold air, the person was beaten and was about to die, and she was still guarding the silver, and it was also the Zhao family who wanted to be a hairpin, how could it be the turn of the Li family. It seems that the Li family is still too soft-hearted, and the hairpin is the Li family's dowry, and he is reluctant to wear it every day, so he went out for Chen Zichang.

Chen Xuejiao looked coldly at Chen Zichang who was humming on the kang.

"Lang Zhong is here." Footsteps rang out in the courtyard.

Chen Zichang, who was walking in front, lifted the curtain, and a man in his fifties with white hair walked in with a medical box.

"Zheng Langzhong, you're here. Look at my miserable son, beaten and covered in blood. Mrs. Chen was out of breath when she cried at Zheng Langzhong.

"Mother-in-law, don't be too sad, let my uncle take a closer look." It was Chen Wenxiu's man Zheng Huozi who said this, and it turned out that Zheng Langzhong was his uncle. The whole town is so big, Chen Zichang was beaten and rumored, and he also knew that he happened to meet Chen Xiucai, so he invited Zheng Langzhong together.

"Disturbed and kind, my son was beaten so badly, I can not be sad." Old Mrs. Chen said angrily to Zheng Huozi.

Zheng Langzhong's face sank when he heard this: "The heart of the doctor's parents, I will naturally heal well, and ask the idle people to wait out." ”

Mrs. Chen was helped into the inner room by Chen Qilin and Chen Xuemiao, and Chen Xuejiao walked out of the upper room under Cai's eyes.

In the evening, Zheng Langzhong came out of the upper room and instructed: "The wound has been cleaned up, there is no hindrance, just rest and recuperate, prescribe a few prescriptions of medicine, fry and drink three times a day, and avoid spicy, fried, onion and garlic and other foods." ”

Chen Xiucai nodded while listening, admiring Zheng Langzhong's good pulse, and staying to eat, Zheng Langzhong waved his hand. Zheng Huozi had already prepared the carriage and sent Zheng Langzhong back.

"Xue Jiaoxue Rujing will come to my house in a few days, your aunt misses you." Before Zheng Huozi left, he stuffed candy for each of the children.

Chen Xuejiao likes this uncle who leaks wind when he speaks.

Chen Zichang's arm was hung up with plaster, and the blood on his head and face was wiped clean. Mrs. Chen went back to Chen Zichang's side, and when she heard that her son was fine, she patted her chest, and when her son called her, she shed tears again, and asked Li's decoction again.

"Milk, my mother has been taking care of the second aunt, let Sister Xue Miao come with the decoction, after all, the second uncle is Sister Xue Miao's father." Xue Jiao was extremely uncomfortable when she heard Mrs. Chen drinking Li's decoction, and the incident in the second room led the big room into the water.

Xue Miao listened, and her eyes were cold towards Xue Jiao, and Xue Jiao looked at her with a smile.

"Miao'er, hurry up, go and decoct your father." Mrs. Chen patronized her distressed son, and after listening to Xue Jiao's construction, she began to arouse Xue Miao.

"Milk, I won't." Xue Miao sobbed.

"No, you can't learn. You dead girl, you don't feel sorry for your father like this, your father gave birth to you for nothing, and I hurt you for nothing. Mrs. Chen began to scold Xue Jiao.

Xue Miao had to cry and go to the stove to decoct the medicine, scolding Xue Jiao half to death in her heart, and hating her father, doing such a shameless thing, how could she raise her head in front of the children in other rooms in the future.

Suddenly, Li saw Jing Hao who was shrinking behind Xue Jiao, as if he remembered something, and pointed at Jing Hao and scolded: "It's all your damn father, I eat and drink for you, your father did something shameless, dragged my son into the water, and the father and son paid the debt, you should kneel and accompany my son." ”

Mrs. Chen has never admitted that her son is at fault, thinking that Chen Zichang is instigated by others, she hates her nephew for not being able to vent, and seeing that Jing Hao finally found a channel to vent, she scolded regardless of it.

"I was cut by a thousand knives, and I blindly ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, and dragged my son into the water." Mrs. Chen clapped her hands and scolded.

Jing Hao's tears were left, and Mrs. Chen scolded herself in front of so many people, and she couldn't hold it on her face.

"Milk, what's the matter with Sister Jing, could it be that Sister Jing is forcing the second uncle to fail." Xue Jiao saw Jing's grievances crying and couldn't help but defend herself.

"You little girl, is your surname Chen or Wang, who are you talking to, you gag me for an outsider." Old Mrs. Chen pointed at Xue Jiao and gasped.

"My surname is Chen, but grandma, your surname is Wang." Xue Jiao replied playfully.

Mrs. Chen was even more angry, picked up the teacup and fell to the ground, scolding: "Look at your second uncle like this, you are proud, don't worry, in case something happens to my son, you see which one I can spare." He took a breath and scolded, "One by one, they will look at jokes, I think who will take care of what happens to you, don't be complacent one by one." ”

Mrs. Chen's words made Cai's and Zhang's faces change and change, and it was clear that the big room, the third room, and the fourth room were watching the excitement.

"In the final analysis, the second uncle is too self-respecting, and he always says that he was instigated by others, why didn't that person come to instigate the third uncle and the fourth uncle." Chen Xuejiao said casually.

Hearing this, Cai's and Zhang's hearts were extremely ironed, yes, fortunately, they were not their own men. deserves it, who let your old heart deviate so far, if you weren't indulgent, the second child would dare to go to the fireworks field and be beaten.

"Xue Jiao is young and doesn't know how important it is, she is also good for you." Cai smiled and defended Xue Jiao.

Mrs. Chen snorted and began to scold her nephew Baozhu: "I can't die well, I can't give birth to a son, I can't give birth to a son, I have a dead daughter-in-law, where is the retribution." ”

When he was tired of scolding, he pulled Chen Zifu and Chen Zigui again: "Go, let me go to Wangjiazhuang, tie up the treasure pillar with a thousand knives for me, I will ask him if he has a conscience, and let that Zhang beat me three times." ”

Chen Zifu and Chen Zigui were silent, they didn't have the face to tie up Wang Baozhu, and Mrs. Chen saw that the two sons were not of the same mind as herself, and scolded even more.

Chen Xuejiao and Chen Xueru pulled her out of the upper room in order not to make Jing Hao sad.
