Chapter 54 Going Home and Making a Big Trouble in the Li Family's Four Rooms (3)
"Uncle Ji, stop my mother!"
When he heard Li Junyang's call, Li Zhengji was following his old man and hurriedly walked towards Xiao Qiliu's house. Before he could finish speaking, he saw a woman with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes running in front of her eyes. It was precisely because of Li Junyang's reminder that Li Zhengji came back to his senses and saw clearly that the "crazy" woman who had just run in front of him turned out to be Li Xu, the daughter-in-law of the people's son, who had always been weak.
Li Zhengji also saw that something was wrong with Li Xu's, but he didn't dare to step forward too close to Li Xu's, so he could only roughly block the way. Although Wufang and Xiao Qiliu's father Li Zhengmin are cousins, they are also relatives, but after all, men and women are different. Rao is the Apocalypse Dynasty where the folk customs are quite open, and the distance between men and women must be kept three feet away. The reason why it is three feet away is naturally because three feet is one zhang, and the so-called husband and husband are husbands within one zhang.
It was precisely because of Li Zhengji's rat thrower that Li Xu found a breakthrough, and a few dexterous turns broke through Li Zhengji's defense line.
"Don't chase it yet!" The fifth grandfather of the Li family didn't expect his eldest son to be so unhelpful, and he couldn't even stop a woman. Li Zhengji can't say that he has bitterness in his heart, isn't he taboo. I didn't look at the appearance of the people's daughter-in-law, if the old ladies in the village who chewed their tongues saw it, I don't know what unpleasant words would come out.
After Li Xu got rid of Li Zhengji, he didn't run a few more steps and returned to the ancestral house of the old Li family. At that time, Mrs. Li preferred four rooms, so she left the newly built courtyard house to Li Pinghai. Otherwise, Li Pinghai alone would not have been able to live in a big house with black tiles and white walls. It is also said that it is bad luck or bad luck, Li Pinghai left his house and went to Xiao Qiliu's house when the courtyard door was not locked. In fact, in Lijiatun, as long as there are people at home during the day, most people's courtyard doors will not be plugged into the door bolts.
Li Xu rushed directly into the courtyard of Lao Li's house in a hurry, and Li Juntong, who was helping to cut bamboo strips in the yard, raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at the disheveled third aunt in front of him with a surprised face, and was speechless in surprise.
"Three, three aunts...... You ......"
Li Xu also ignored Li Juntong, looked around coldly, then looked at the well on the left side of the courtyard, rushed over, and rushed into the well without waiting for everyone to come to their senses. When Li Junyang hurried to the courtyard of Lao Li's house, he only had time to see the afterimage of Li Xu's falling into the well.
"Mother~"
"Quick, save people!" Li Zhengji didn't wait for his old man's command, and also jumped into the well.
Li Xu's cloak appeared in Lijiatun, which was enough to attract attention, but now he ran back to Lao Li's house without saying a word, and chose to jump into the well without saying a word. Before Li Pinghai and the others, who rushed to hear the news, came back to their senses, a few mothers-in-law who had good things opened their voices and shouted loudly: "Come on." The daughter-in-law of the people went back to Li Laosi's house and committed suicide by jumping into the well~~~"
But anyone who is not deaf behind the ears can hear that this shouting is mixed with infinite schadenfreude, this is not a joke that clearly wants to see Li Laosi's family. Li Pinghai, who has the most important face in his life, was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he just hated that he couldn't immediately salvage the third daughter-in-law who had ruined his family's reputation from the well, and then devoured him alive.
Li Pinghai didn't like him very much since the birth of his third son, Li Zhengmin, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes and powerful eyes. In Li Pinghai's opinion, if it weren't for him, the rebel son who committed Lone Star, his original mother-in-law Li Fengshi would not have been killed so early. The most hateful thing is that the life of the rebel is really hard enough, and he has not been tossed to death in the blacksmith shop for so many years. Now the daughter-in-law married by this rebel son actually chose to commit suicide by jumping into a well at his house, this is to ruin the reputation of his boss and fifth child, so that they will not be able to pass the imperial examination?
Li Pinghai squinted, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case.
After a hurry, Li Xu was finally pulled out of the well, although the rescue was quite timely, but when pulled up, Li Xu had no breath, the whole face was originally a little swollen, after the cold and biting well water so soaked, there was no trace of blood, miserable white.
"Throw this mother-in-law out to Lao Tzu!" Li Pinghai saw that Li Xu's was salvaged, and he didn't care whether Li Xu's was dead or alive, his only feeling was that he was angry, and he was very angry. In Li Pinghai's view, whether it is Li Xu's daughter-in-law, or the rebel son himself, even with the pair of children of the rebel son, whether they want to die or live has nothing to do with their four rooms, even if they want to die, they should die outside, not dirty the place where their four rooms are dirty. Especially if you jump into a well, it will pollute the water source, so how can they drink water when they turn around?
"Fourth brother!" The fifth grandfather of the Li family couldn't help but raise his voice, "Let's accumulate some yin virtue for future generations!" ”
It's not your turn to take care of the four-room business! In fact, Li Xiaofeng, who came in a hurry, wanted to fight back like this, but she didn't dare. Because Li Zhengshu of the Zhengda room in Lijiatun was supporting a white-haired old man who appeared in the courtyard, followed by Li Pinghu in the third room.
"Press your chest, press your chest quickly, squeeze out the water in the stomach of the people's daughter-in-law, maybe there will be salvation." I don't know who suddenly shouted such a sentence, and three or four women jumped out of the crowd of onlookers, pinching the people in the middle of the people, pressing the chest. Although the ordinary people of Lijiatun do not understand artificial respiration in later generations, they still know at least some first-aid common sense.
After a long while, Li Xu coughed violently twice, and then spit out a lot of water. But the eyes were already closed, and there was no big reaction.
"Okay, at least breathing." Everyone present exhaled a long breath. If Li Xu's family really jumped into the well of Lao Li's family and died, it would not only affect the reputation of Lao Li's family, but even the reputation of Li Jiatun would be affected. Although at first glance it was just a contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it hurt people after all, and a scandal broke out about the father-in-law slapping his daughter-in-law, which was fatal and involved people's lives.
"What the hell is going on?" If you want to talk about the weight of words, Li Zhengshu, who is the current Lizheng of Li Jiatun, is naturally the heaviest.
Li Zheng, equivalent to the head of a modern village, is responsible for managing the village's household registration, forced labor and public security, and began to be the most basic official position in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the Spring and Autumn Period, 80 households were one mile, and in the Tang Dynasty, 100 households were one mile. Don't look at a small Lizheng, in fact, the right is not small. Ordinary people may not know who the county official of his township is, but it is absolutely impossible not to know who is in charge of himself.
It is said that the county officials are not as good as the current management, in ancient China, in fact, the county officials will not be directly responsible for the management of the people in the county and town, but by the Li Zheng to help share the management. Moreover, there is a time limit for hearing cases throughout the year, such as not opening the door at all during the busy farming season. Unless there is a serious case in the jurisdiction, such as a homicide case or something. On weekdays, most of the trivial things that happen in ordinary people's homes are handled by this current master. Of course, in addition to Li Zheng, there are also clan patriarchs. When encountering larger clan villages, the rights of the patriarch and the elders are not smaller than those of the lizheng.
Lijiatun Village is not too big in the area of Yue Town, but there are eight adults in the village surnamed Li. The current patriarch is concurrently served by Li Zhengshu, the son of Li Pingjiang of the big house, and there are currently three respected elders and seven uncles Li Laixi, who are also the highest-ranking old lady in Li Jiatun, Li Pinghu, the third grandfather of the third room, and Li Pingxi, the fifth grandfather of the fifth room.
Li Zhengshu looked around at the people in the courtyard, and at a glance saw Li Junyang, who was carefully wiping Li Xu's face, with obvious scars on his face far more than how much flesh was left. Li Junyang's age is not as old as his youngest son, but he looks at him coldly and is far more sensible than children of the same age.
"Rokuro, come on."
"How old is Rokuro? What do children know? Of course, Li Xiaofeng was unwilling to let Li Junyang narrate what happened. In fact, without Li Junyang opening his mouth, he just looked at his scarred little face, and then looked at Li Xu's cloak, who had always been dignified and weak, not to mention that his hair was disheveled, and he turned into a soup chicken and was unconscious for the time being. You should be able to guess that there must have been friction in the limbs, otherwise where did the injury come from? Could it be that both of them fell by themselves?
"No matter how young Rokuro is, he's almost eight years old this year. I said Xiao Feng, don't be a thief. In the crowd, Mrs. Cui, who lived behind Lao Li's house, spoke.
Mrs. Cui was originally the child daughter-in-law of Li Pinghe, the second room of the Li family, and she was also a pitiful person. At that time, because Li Pinghe was a premature baby, he was a little older when he was born, and he was frail and sickly since he was a child. The old lady of the Li family, who is also Li Laosi's father, Li Laifu, was afraid that this son would not be able to raise him, so he prepared a child daughter-in-law who was five years older than him early, thinking that his son would get married when he reached the age of fourteen, so that he could stay behind. But I didn't want my daughter-in-law to be prepared in advance, and she married into Li Jiatun in a Chongxi way, but in the end, she still failed to succeed in Chongxi, Li Pinghe died before she was ten years old, leaving only Li Cui's who was happy.
Li Laifu and his wife are not mean people, thinking that their son is the eldest Li Pingjiang is already married, as well as Pinghu, Pinghai and Pingxi, but the difference in age is a little bit more inappropriate. But in addition to his own family, there are a few younger brothers and sisters who have sons of similar age, and no matter how bad Lijiatun is, there is no suitable one, so look for it in several villages around Yue Town. As long as Li Cui's is willing, he will marry Li Cui's as his own daughter.
It's just that Li Cui's is a dead brain, and he is reluctant to get married, saying "life and death of the Li family, death is the ghost of the Li family". He just turned fifteen years old and combed his hair in a bun, and became a surviving person for Li Pinghe, who died young. In this regard, Li Laifu and his wife were quite moved, and when they separated before their deaths, they still left a family property for the second room and one line, and instructed the eldest son Li Pingjiang and the youngest brother Li Laixi to take care of Li Cui's family.
Over the years, Li Pingjiang, who is the head of the family, and Li Laixi, the seventh uncle of the clan with the largest seniority, have not failed to pick the descendants of the Li family of the right age, and they are thinking about succeeding to the name of Li Pinghe in the second room. What's the matter, Li Cui's is also eccentric, always looking at those children unpleasantly, unwilling to live or die. Since the parties are unwilling, Li Pingjiang and Li Laixi are not reluctant. If you succeed or something, you have to ask for the wishes of the parties, and it is difficult to force others.
