Chapter 6: Separation (2)
The woman behind her was afraid that she would make trouble, so she hurriedly walked over and wanted to pull her back, but this girl was also determined not to vomit or be unhappy, shook off the woman's hand, and said anxiously: "Why don't you let me say that she is about to force Mu Xiang to death, and she is not allowed to say, is it possible to wait for Mu Xiang and them to starve to death in this broken house, let's come here again to collect their bodies?" ”
Chen Mei'e shrunk her neck and wanted to talk back, but she couldn't compare to her voice, so she had to point at the woman and ask her to drag her daughter back, it was all an adult's business, where was her turn to talk nonsense.
Mu Xiang threw a grateful look at Jin Ju, Jin Ju is one of the few female babies in the village who is willing to be friends with her, Jin Ju is a year older than her, I heard that she is about to get married, and her mother-in-law has said that she is not in Yuhe Village. Her mother is timid and afraid of things, and she doesn't like to take the lead, and teaches Jin Ju the way of wife, mother, and daughter-in-law all day long.
Jin Ju's divine gesture of receiving the wood fragrance also gave her a smile back, there is only so much she can help, and if she says more, I am afraid that her mother will go crazy.
Mu Xiang followed Jin Ju's words and said: "That's the truth, my father kicked us out, and he didn't even give us a decent vegetable patch, let alone food bedding, Mu Xiang wants to ask everyone, you are also mothers, and fathers, if your children fall into this field, can you still sit idly by?" ”
This really poked everyone's sore spot, no one wants to die early, but no one can live forever. In the countryside where there is a shortage of medical treatment, if you have a minor illness, you will carry it yourself, and if you have a major illness, you will basically wait for death. It is actually very common to remarry and remarry.
A middle-aged man in the crowd stood up and said with a righteous face: "I can't see this thing for a long time, even if it's not my own baby, but I can't be so ruthless, to put it badly, Li Dashan, if you do this, aren't you afraid that Mu Xiang and her mother will die and come to you for revenge at night?" ”
"Revenge is light, if I were Mu Xiang and her mother, I would have jumped out of the coffin angrily, and when she gave birth to a wooden dog, she died so miserably, and she only looked at the wooden dog, and she swallowed her breath, poor child," another older woman wiped her tears, they are all mothers, and naturally they understand the thoughts of mothers better.
Mu Xiang looked at the scene of discussion and smiled in her heart. She looked at the old village chief and said, "Comber, have you seen it?" This matter has caused public outrage, you can't sit idly by anymore, I don't want much, the house can be lived in for them, but he has to make up for us, we have to bring it today, otherwise let them move out, since Chen Mei'e said that this broken thatched hut can live in people, then let her live, and it will not freeze to death after all. ”
Chen Mei'e's face instantly turned as white as paper, and she shouted: "I don't live in this broken house, why should I live in a broken house, Li Dashan, you are talking!" She slapped Li Dashan who was squatting on the ground hard.
Comber knocked on the ground with his cane, cleared his throat, and said: "What Mu Xiang said is indeed reasonable, and it is not too much, since she opened her mouth to ask, I will be the master, Li Dashan, whether you want a house, or to talk about conditions, you choose yourself, cough cough!" Maybe it's because I've been standing for a long time, and I'm a little tired, covering my mouth and coughing a few times.
Mu Xiang immediately glanced at Caiyun, Caiyun sighed, first ran to the house, thinking about it was not right, quickly picked up the crowd, ran to the big house, and after a while, he moved a stool over and sent it to Comber.
Mu Xiang smiled apologetically at everyone, "I'm sorry, I don't have a stool at home, if you want to sit on the bench, go to my father's side to move!" ”
Everyone knew that they didn't even have a stool, how should these three little babies live. A few middle-aged women, unable to resist their curiosity, ran into Muxiang's house to take a look, but when they saw it, they all came out with tears in their eyes. After coming out, Chen Mei'e was a few down, and the men didn't hold back later, and they also ran to look, and when they came out, they couldn't wait to beat Li Dashan hard.
The villagers of Yuhe are simple and simple, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they do not close their doors at night. When the people in the village meet, they are also harmonious, poor is poor, but people's hearts are simple. There must be people like Li Dashan, there must be people, ten fingers stretched out are not the same length, not to mention people's hearts.
Mu Xiang took in everyone's expressions and smiled secretly in her heart.
With public indignation, Li Dashan just wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and it is impossible.
Under the witness of Comber, Mu Xiang asked for three quilts and fifty catties of cornmeal, she wanted cotton, but unfortunately Chen Mei'e was too lazy to plant cotton, so she had to ask for quilts. Finally, there is the flat land behind the bamboo forest. After the spring harvest in the first year of the year, Li Dashan was lazy again, and he thought that it was too troublesome to plant rice, so he thought that after the autumn harvest, he would plow and plant rapeseed, so the land was still empty. It's not big, but about an acre.
Giving Muxiang land, Li Dashan didn't feel distressed, anyway, he didn't want to plant, but he was unhappy when he gave things, "My family doesn't have much food, if it's all given to him, what will I eat?" ”
"There is no quilt, even if there is, I also married her, and I can't give her anything," Chen Mei'e was even more distressed, and there was no cotton in the family, so she gave the quilt, what should they do this winter?
But this lord was made by the village chief, and the couple of them have already aroused the anger of the people, and a few mothers-in-law who had just entered Muxiang's house, with their sleeves rolled up, volunteered to go to the mansion to move things, and took some more, and carried them into Muxiang's inner room together.
Comber looked at Li Dashan who was squatting on the ground, and persuaded him earnestly: "You are also their father, give this little thing, it's not too much, the dog and his mother know under the spring, and the soul can be stable, Dashan, you have to touch your conscience as a man, otherwise after you die, you will go to eighteen layers of hell, these things are given to Mu Xiang by me, you can't go back, don't think I don't know what your daughter-in-law is thinking, I'll leave the words here, if she dares to make trouble, there is no need to talk about your ingots going to school next year." ”
"Ah, Comber, I was wrong, you are old, adults have a lot, don't worry about us, I promise not to let Yuanbao and his mother come over to make trouble, Yuanbao goes to school, you always spend a lot of time, you can't delay," as soon as he heard the word school, Li Dashan panicked. Yuhe Village is small and can't afford to hire a master. Three miles away from Yuhe Village, there is a Zuojiazhuang, more than 100 households, which is also quite a big Zhuangzi. They have a school, Comber finally negotiated with the village chief of Zuojiazhuang, so that the little baby of Yuhe Village also went to school with them, this opportunity was not easy to come by, no matter how muddy Li Dashan was, he didn't dare to joke about his son's future, since Zhao Xiuwen was in the Jinshi, the people in the village paid attention to the matter of the little baby going to school, if he grew up and could get an official and a half-job, then the whole family could enjoy Qingfu in the future, and what kind of land to plant!
