228 Auspicious Celestial Maiden (7)
After saying this, the people in the ancestral hall stopped doing it.
Someone shouted: "What are you talking nonsense! ”
"That's it, what reason does the hairy boy have to stand in our ancestral hall and talk nonsense."
For a while, the entire ancestral hall was boiling.
"Quiet, quiet, this is a general from the capital!"
The village chief hurriedly waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Isn't the general from the capital great?"
"That is, you dignitaries, with three wives and six concubines in your family, how do you know the suffering of us poor people who can't marry wives?"
"The light grass in the mouth is light, if you don't buy a daughter-in-law, the descendants in the village will not be able to beat the singles? Heirlooms, you rich people are surrounded by women. ”
Wang Heng stood up and said: "First of all, I want to correct your mistakes, there is no concept of three wives and six concubines in the law of the imperial court, there can only be one wife, and those concubines, if they are not willing, can sue the government to ask for divorce." The imperial court even more strictly prohibited the abduction and coercion of women from good families as concubines. It can be seen that the imperial court does not want to see someone forcing women to be wives and concubines. ”
"The imperial court, the emperor has so many concubines, what's wrong with us buying a wife?"
The village chief was so frightened that his face turned white when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "I have to respect, I have to respect." ”
Yes, in this age of polyandry and concubinage, how can people be persuaded to abandon the practice of buying and selling wives?
Wang Heng took a deep breath, wanting to release all his anger.
At this time, the door of the ancestral hall slammed open, and Xiaoshu stood in the doorway, panting. The face is flushed.
"Little tree, what are you messing around!"
The village chief was holding back the fire in his belly, and when he saw his son appear, he scolded angrily.
"Daddy, no, several aunts are running to the back mountain with their children in their arms!" Xiaoshu pointed outside, "There are fox demons on the mountain, I'm afraid they will meet fox demons!" ”
"What? These sluts! ”
Several daughters-in-law who were also bought by the man instantly understood the situation, stood up and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Okay, you Yuan Saburo, colluding with outsiders to harm the people in your own village." You will have retribution! If my daughter-in-law really runs away. We'll see. ”
For a while, the entire ancestral hall was in chaos.
The sixth uncle hurriedly tapped the ground with his cane: "Go and take a look." You can't die. Our village can't afford to die anymore! ”
Everyone dispersed in a panic, and several young adults followed the village chief to see the situation.
Seeing that everyone was in a mess, Xiao Shu quietly pulled the corner of Wang Heng's clothes and asked, "General, did I do something wrong?" Why is everyone like this? Daddy ignores me? ”
Wang Heng bent down and whispered comfortingly, "You didn't do anything wrong. You're worried about the safety of those aunts and younger siblings, aren't you? ”
"yes." The little tree blinked with bright dark eyes. He couldn't understand the adult world at all.
When Wang Heng and Xiaoshu rushed to the back mountain. Four women had already been intercepted by the villagers on the edge of a cliff halfway up the mountain, and a man stepped forward and slapped his wife to the ground, and viciously raised his foot and kicked her. scolded in his mouth: "Look at you still dare to run, you are bold, and I will break your legs next time." ”
The village chief couldn't look at it, and stepped forward to dissuade him: "Old five, why bother, if it is broken, you have to ask her to see a doctor, why are they all your son's mothers, what do you make your children look like like this." ”
"Phew, don't cry in this cat, your family is rich, you can marry a wife, the full man doesn't know the hungry man, the hungry man is less crooked here."
Lao Wu slammed the village chief, but Yuan Saburo didn't expect it at all, and staggered back a few steps. was held by Xiaofeng and asked softly, "Uncle Village Chief, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay."
The village chief sighed: "Brothers and sisters, I am a few years older than you, and I eat more salt than you eat rice, I will ask with an old face today, but our village treats you badly, why do you want to run away when the man goes to the ancestral hall?" Do you know how dangerous this mountain is? Not to mention the legendary fox demons, there are also a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards, and you are killing yourself when you go up the mountain. ”
A woman put the child in her arms on the ground, looked at the village chief and sneered: "Run along the main road, let them catch it quickly, and then beat us?" Village chief, you've only been back for a few years, how do you know what we've suffered? We are also a mother's father at home, a pampered daughter, carelessly sold here by a kidnapper, defiled by people I don't know and don't like, and those who only think about the famous festival have already committed suicide, we think of our parents at home, and we don't want to die quietly in this col like this, what's wrong? ”
"Phew, you mother-in-law, Lao Tzu spent a lot of money to buy you, you are Lao Tzu's person when you got the seed of Lao Tzu, and you still want to run?"
A man yelled and cursed rudely, and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the woman's face.
The woman indifferently wiped away the thick phlegm, slowly approached the man, pointed at him and asked, "Fourth Elder, do you think that I am your person when I give birth to a child?" Wishful thinking, this child is not what I want to give birth, I was forced to give birth by you. Your parents have lost their conscience, drugged my food, ruined my innocence, I only took this evil seed away, and I am worthy of you if I don't give them a knife! In your opinion, this is your family's species, and in my opinion, this is a shame that I cannot erase in my life! If it weren't for the fear that he would become a scourge if he followed you, you thought I wanted to take him away? ”
"Slut!"
When the four elders heard this, they were furious and hit with their fists. Wang Heng put his arm on the skewer: "What do you want to do?" ”
The fourth patriarch shouted: "Lao Tzu beat his daughter-in-law, what are you doing!" ”
"You have violated the law by forcibly buying a woman from a good family, and you can be beheaded by a strict judge!"
"The head has a big scar on the mouth of the bowl, at least Lao Tzu's family has incense!"
The old man screamed at himself with a stiff neck.
Xiaofeng sneered: "You are a poor person who can barely fill your stomach, your family's incense is so important?" Three generations later, who remembers which green onion you are? ”
The man was already furious when he was stopped by Wang Heng, and at this moment, Xiao Feng pointed at Xiao Feng angrily and scolded: "Where did you come from, slut!" If you talk more, I'll leave you to my brother as a wife!" ”
"Phew! Your bastard brother is also a good guy who died early and gave birth early! Xiaofeng retorted.
At this moment, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, the fourth daughter-in-law picked up her son and ran to the edge of the cliff a few steps, Wang Heng suddenly realized what she was going to do, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't think about it!" I can go to the local magistrate to give you justice! ”
The woman's face was full of tears, she shook her head and cried: "It's too late, it's too late, even if the county magistrate sentences them to be beheaded, I will never go back." Saying that, she smiled sadly: "Fourth Elder, aren't you just for the incense?" Okay, let's go to the Netherworld to find your incense! As he spoke, he resolutely jumped down with the young child in his arms.
"Don't!"
Xiao Feng staggered up a few steps and rushed up on the edge of the cliff and shouted: "Don't! ”
Everyone was shocked. The accident happened so fast that Wang Heng didn't have time to react at all, who would have thought that this fourth daughter-in-law could jump off the cliff with her child in her arms!
The fourth patriarch ran to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and saw that the clouds and mist in the mountains were unfathomable, and he stomped his feet and scolded: "Slut, let the wild wolf eat you up, so that you will never be able to live beyond life, you slut, you hurt Lao Tzu to cut off the incense, slut!" ”
Xiao Feng turned around and looked at the fourth elder coldly. The eyes were too cold, the fourth patriarch was startled by her, and he was a little scared in his heart, in order to strengthen his courage, he muttered in his mouth: "Look at a fart, and then be crooked, Lao Tzu accepted you and asked you to give Lao Tzu a son, hahaha." (To be continued......)
