Chapter 22: Brotherly Conflict
"Blessed! I've blessed you! Xia Jianping said, and the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand beckoned to Xia Jianxi's head.
"Ouch!" Xia Jianxi's head immediately swollen with a big bag, he covered his head, and was chased by Xia Jianping all over the yard, "Don't fight, don't fight." ”
Fang had been paying attention to the movement outside in the house, and when he heard Xia Jianping making a move, he hurriedly ran out to pull the rack.
"Uncle He!" Fang stopped in front of Xia Jianping, "If you have something to say, what's the matter, why did Jianxi offend you?" ”
Xia Jian snorted calmly, pointed at Xia Jianxi with the cigarette pouch rod and said, "You say! Where am I sorry for you when I am the big brother? You're going to push your niece into the fire pit? Is this a human thing? ”
The old lady and Xia Yinglan were eating in the house, and when they heard the noise in the yard, they asked Xia Yinglan to see what was going on.
Xia Yinglan stood up and looked into the courtyard, her face was red and white, and she snorted: "It seems that the eldest brother and the third brother are fighting." ”
"Something that doesn't worry about it!" The old lady scolded, put down the chopsticks and walked out.
Wang and Xia Jian'an also heard the noise, and the two stood at the door to watch the excitement together.
Xia Jianxi squatted on the side with his head in his hands, and when he saw the old lady coming out, he howled, "What am I doing?" It's not right to praise Qingyun for a few words? ”
"Kua? You ran to Master Jin and muttered this, what kind of heart! Xia Jianping pointed at him and shouted.
"How do I know that Master Jin has moved his mind?" Xia Jianxi argued, "Besides, I'm also for your own good, the two daughters in your family, Qingyun won't suffer a loss if she marries Master Jin, what's wrong with eating and drinking spicy food?" ”
Xia Jianping's heart was on fire, he bypassed the Fang clan and kicked over, "Are you talking about human words?" Which uncle can tell his niece to a mountain bandit? ”
"Stop it!" The old lady shouted, "Boss, what do you want to do?" If you have something to say, you can't get started at every turn? ”
"Mother, ask him, what good things he has done!" Xia Jian's face turned blue.
He has been a tough temper since he was a child and can't speak softly. The old lady didn't give him a good face because she spent money to let him learn carpentry, but she gave birth to a child with a woman outside and came back.
"What's the matter that you can't say as a big brother and beat me, and still take me as an old lady in your eyes? It's all separated, and the whole family doesn't stop making trouble when they come back for a girl! "The old lady has always felt sorry for her younger son, and when she saw Xia Jianxi being beaten out of a huge swollen bag on his head, she couldn't bear it.
Xia Jianxi saw his mother talking to him, and his waist straightened up again, "Mother, mother, tell me, can this rely on me?" I just met a brother in the field that day, and I praised him a few words, and I didn't know how the words reached the ears of Master Jin, people didn't look down on our Xia family, and they came to the door in person today. If the eldest brother doesn't say thank you, forget it, and call the door, is there any reason for this? ”
"What? Did you go to Mr. Kim's field to play money? Over there, the Wang family reacted very quickly, grabbed the pigtails in Xia Jianxi's words, and said with a sneer: "The public money at home is not even willing to buy rice and vegetables, do you still have money to play?" ”
Xia Jianxi was also in a hurry to say that he was bald, and hurriedly added: "I don't have any money to play, I just go to see the excitement." ”
The old lady took off her shoes and hit Xia Jianxi's back, "You are unproductive, you don't play with the land at home, just give you half a tael of silver and go out to gamble!" ”
Wang Shi held on to the door frame and sneered repeatedly, "Mother's heart is not a little bit!" Every day, I think the dishes I cook are not delicious, and I don't talk about buying vegetables for a few copper plates! This is good, the whole family drinks vegetable soup, and takes half a tael of silver for the old son to play money! ”
The old lady was dismissed by her, and said angrily: "Phew! You still have the face to say! I was too lazy to sweep my house all day long, and I dared to grind my teeth here! I will spend my money on whomever I like! ”
Xia Jianping stomped his feet angrily when he saw them arguing, not wanting to stay here longer, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the Fang clan.
"Uncle him, you have to be reasonable in life and work, why do you have such a ruthless hand in my brother, look at you beating the child's father, this has to have three long and two short, how can I live with the child!" As he spoke, he sat on the ground and cried aggrievedly.
"Eh!" Xia Jianxi followed her words and shouted, "It hurts me to death!" Big brother, you take the money and invite me to Langzhong"
"You!" Xia Jian trembled angrily, "You sold your niece to the thief's den, and you also received ten taels of silver from others, now I don't care if I want money?" Okay, I'll find you Langzhong when I break your legs! ”
As he spoke, he stepped over the Fang clan and struck Xia Jianxi with a slashing head and face. Xia Jianxi usually doesn't work, where can he withstand Xia Jianping's fists and feet, he was beaten in three or two strokes, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he cried and howled.
The old lady saw that she couldn't hold it, so she simply sat on the ground and cried.
Xia Jian'an, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, glanced at the Wang family, pretending to pull the frame, and covered the Wang family to sneak into Xia Jianxi's house.
Xia Yinglan was so frightened that her face was bloodless, and she lowered her head and hugged her mother and didn't dare to say anything.
Wen grabbed a few handfuls on his head, and rushed up to sprinkle with his head: "Fight, let you fight, kill our family!" Someone's coming, the big uncle is beating someone to death."
The yard of the old house was a mess of chickens and dogs for a while.
Xia Jianxi's youngest son, Xia Kaitai, quietly opened the courtyard door, and ran towards Xia Qingyun's wooden house.
He knocked on the door breathlessly, and said breathlessly: "Uncle Qingyun, he and my father are fighting!" ”
"What?" When the mother heard this, her face turned white, and she got up and ran out.
Xia Qingyun instructed her little sister to take care of the house, and went out with Xia Huayun.
There were a number of people at the entrance of the old mansion who were eating and watching the excitement while holding rice bowls. Before he could go in, he heard Wen's cry louder than louder.
The sisters and brothers helped their mother into the old house, and when they saw Wen holding Xia Jianping's calf and not letting go, they cried with their heads, "It's unreasonable!" The uncle who has separated from the family is going to beat people to death, and if his father has three long and two short, I won't live."
Xia Jianxi lay on the ground like a corpse, rolling his eyes incessantly. Xia Jian'an leaned against the wall with his hands in his sleeves, and Wang was holding the pig's head meat found from Xia Jianxi's house next to him, and kept stuffing it into his and Xia Jian'an's mouths.
The old lady was hugged by Xia Yinglan and sat on the ground, and she touched her tears without a sound.
Xia Qingyun's mother's face sank, "The third family, you still have to be shameless, how can you be a brother-in-law holding your uncle's leg and not letting go?" Don't hurry up yet! ”
Wen didn't hear it, and Wu Zi cried there and wiped his tears.
The mother grabbed the bamboo pole by the wall and hit her arm, "I'll let you hold it!" ”
"Whew!" Wen's howled like a pig, and he jumped up and was about to pounce on his sister-in-law.
Xia Huayun pulled her away and protected her in front of her mother, "Dare to touch my mother!" ”
Xia Qingyun felt a chill in his heart, compared to the lazy and cheeky Xia Jian'an family, the meanness and cunning of the Wen family and Xia Jianxi were even more disgusting.
She said coldly: "Which one is this singing?" Why is it that people lie on the ground and the silver falls aside? ”
Wen immediately stopped crying, and Xia Jianxi also started to look around.
Xia Qingyun sneered and said, "Sure enough, it's the silver in charge!" For the sake of silver, he didn't even care about face and family affection! ”
She glanced at her pale sister-in-law, and said, "If it weren't for Master Jin himself, I wouldn't have thought that the third uncle was pampering behind his back!" You have done something that has no conscience, but it is up to my father to do it! ”
Xia Jianxi saw that he also tore his face anyway, covered his swollen face and scolded: "You girl with no conscience!" I knew this earlier, so I didn't go to find Lang Zhong for you, forget it if you die of illness, and save the family chaos! ”
"It's a shame for what you said!" Xia Qingyun's mother reprimanded: "Looking for Langzhong? Who took the family's money to gamble by looking for Lang Zhong's name, and when he lost the money, he randomly pulled someone to pretend to be Lang Zhong, and he said with a face! ”
"Why are you talking nonsense!" Wen screamed: "I am shameless, I gave birth to a girl covered in leprosy, I sneaked into this house without knowing anything, and I still have the face to talk about others here!" ”
The mother sneered: "I'm talking nonsense? The person the third child found was the one who gambled with him, who didn't know about this in Beixi Village? I married Jianping innocently, what's there to be ashamed of? Dad, let's go home! ”
"Can't go!" Wen sat at the gate of the courtyard and said, "If you hit someone, you want to leave, is there still a heavenly reason?" I can't tell you today, no one is allowed to leave! ”
Xia Qingyun pulled his father over and said loudly: "Allow you to calculate our family behind your back, and don't allow my father to be angry?" Hmph, you also know that Master Jin has taken a fancy to me, and he personally came to the door to propose. Do you want me to talk to Master Jin and let him tell you what heavenly principles are? ”
Wen and Xia Jianxi were stunned, how could they forget this layer? It's a shooting yourself in the foot!
Xia Qingyun pulled her away and pulled her father and Hua Yun out of the yard.
When he got home, his father sighed for a while, and he didn't want the family to fight. When he split up, he didn't fight for anything, he swallowed his anger and went out of the house, and he didn't ask the old house with a big snack chaff. Whoever admits that life is just over is calculated.
Xia Qingyun brought her father and mother a glass of water, and said with relief: "Dad, don't be really angry with them." ”
Dad couldn't stop sighing, "You said that this brother, how can he be worse than outsiders, and he can do the thing of stabbing him in the back?" What should I do over there Master Jin, Dad can't watch you being robbed to be a concubine. ”
Xia Qingyun sat down next to her mother and said, "Dad, you forgot, I am protected by the Queen Mother, and he can't snatch me." Besides, we still have the Wishful Treasure Pavilion. Otherwise, we simply put the house and tea garden into the treasure pavilion, and our family will live in it. Although it was a little lonely, there was food and clothing. That old man Jin can't find us even if he searches the mountains. ”
"There's no way around it." Dad sighed and said, "It's just such a fuss, your reputation"
Xia Qingyun said: "My feet are not afraid of crooked shoes, and I haven't done anything embarrassing, and the people in the village will talk about it for a while and it will pass." ”
The three sisters and brothers comforted their father and mother for a while, and the family went to rest.
The little sister lay beside Xia Qingyun and whispered to her: "Sister, I think it's good to be in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, or let's hide in it for a few years, and forget about it." ”
Xia Qingyun chuckled, "Not yet." Go to sleep, I'll have to get up early tomorrow to pick tea. ”
