Chapter 332: All Gone
"Come on, my daughter-in-law has run away!"
As soon as the neighbors heard this voice, they were immediately alarmed, and even some people who liked to be lazy hurriedly put on their clothes and opened the door. It's a big deal that this daughter-in-law ran away. "What's going on? Aunt Zhang, isn't your daughter-in-law pregnant? How can she run? ”
A neighbor asked.
In these places, because almost all daughters-in-law and children are bought, there may be conflicts between neighbors because of various other big and small times. But there is a very tacit understanding on the matter of watching the purchased daughter-in-law together.
If your daughter-in-law is lost, I will help you find it, and if my daughter-in-law is lost, you will help me find it. Everyone is very united.
"Like, didn't you say pregnant? Why did you run away? ”
"Will it be on the other side of the cliff? When did it disappear? As soon as this neighbor's voice fell, Xu Cuihua became anxious.
She didn't care about the dead girl, but she was still pregnant with their Zhang family's child in her belly. If you fall off a cliff, that's not, it's not like there was a woman who once fell out, that's a miserable one!
It's not easy to buy a daughter-in-law and have a child these days! Xu Cuihua's face became worse and worse. Hurriedly beckoned a few sons to find their daughter-in-law.
It's best if you can find it, and if you can't find it, you have to see the body.
Let her take a look at her grandson whom she has never met! Her three sons didn't look very good, and their family was not in a good situation, so the three brothers were "co-wives", and the three brothers of the Zhang family immediately blackened their faces and took people to the edge of the cliff.
But then several screams were heard.
One after another, some people found that the daughter-in-law was missing.
Originally, I wanted to find people from the neighboring village to see and help together, but it turned out that people from the neighboring village also came, and they also came to move the rescuers. At this moment, the villagers of several villages were all panicked! Their daughters-in-law and sons are all like they have made an appointment, and they are gone!
But that's not right! Those who are good to their daughters-in-law, at least they haven't cut their tongues and broken their hamstrings, so it's possible for those little hooves to run away.
But the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family is too strong, she was picked by Zhu Lao Niang's hamstrings, her tongue was cut, and the whole person is already mentally abnormal, she is already stupid, how can she run like this?
Could it be that this broken leg can grow back on its own? It can't be, right? But no outsiders came to their village during this time?
Because of the geographical location of several villages, as well as poverty, they have been isolated from the world for a long time, and there are cases of buying and selling women and children. Don't they know it's against the law?
Not necessarily.
But if you don't do this, will you let them cut off their children and grandchildren?
So reasoning doesn't make sense at all. And because they know it's breaking the law, but they have to do it. As a result, they are sensitive to any outsiders who appear in their village.
"Could it be that the families of the women who were recently sold to our village have found help?"
Someone said.
"We must not let them take our daughter-in-law away, they want us to cut off our children and grandchildren! Let's fight them! ”
The emotions of the villagers are extremely easy to be inflamed, especially for such a big "event" as "cutting off children and grandchildren". I'm sorry for my ancestors when I die!
You must not cut off your children and grandchildren!
The village chief is an insightful person, "Why don't you find out the family of the new daughter-in-law who has recently bought a daughter-in-law and ask?" ”
As soon as the village chief said this, he immediately received a response from the whole village, including several small villages nearby. Lao Jiang was wearing a tattered long-sleeved shirt, sitting leisurely, chewing a piece of cooked sweet potato in his mouth, and someone next to him pushed him.
"Ouch Lao Jiang, don't eat undercooked sweet potatoes today? Don't be lazy? ”
Speaking of this, Lao Jiang is also a "god man", his parents died, and her mother was also abducted back then, and after giving birth to him, she went crazy and ran to the cliff and fell to her death.
Almost all the women who died in this village fell from the cliff and fell to their deaths. Some of them died in childbirth.
Because they are all bought daughters-in-law, they are also looking for midwives in the village to give birth. Very few families will be sent to the county hospital.
What if I get caught and run away?
There are certainly not too many children.
After Lao Jiang's mother died, his father also fell off the cliff because of an accident and fell to his death, he became an orphan, because there was land, he was already more than ten years old when his father died, but he could not die of hunger. He was born lazy.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been stumbling to almost fifty, and I wouldn't have been able to scrape together the money to buy a daughter-in-law. Almost all of his father's original savings were squandered by him, and because he had no parents, no one knew what he was originally called.
When he got older, everyone called him Lao Jiang, and that's it. This old Jiang has no other skills, he just likes to see other people's beautiful daughters-in-law.
But even so, he didn't do anything, and the people in the village should not know. There was even a family that took a fancy to the land when his father was there. Then he proposed that when the daughter-in-law they bought gave birth to a grandson, they would exchange the land for the daughter-in-law, so as to leave a queen for the old Jiang family.
He was only a teenager when Lao Jiang's parents died, but he also knew the importance of "passing on the ancestry". Lao Jiang agreed without hesitation.
I usually treat the woman I bought as my daughter-in-law, but I haven't seen him go up in the past few days, and he even eats boiled sweet potatoes.
"Lao Jiang, what's going on in your house? Looks like there's a woman? You old boy is not kind, you secretly bought a woman and didn't tell us. ”
"That's it!"
"Lao Jiang, haven't you been thinking about my daughter-in-law? Why did you save money to buy other women? ”
The family who originally said that he would exchange his daughter-in-law for land was unhappy. Because his family conditions are not good, the daughter-in-law he bought is not only not good-looking, but also older, and she is not a yellow flower girl, so the family naturally does not cherish it so much.
and treated her like an animal.
In fact, in a place like theirs, they don't care so much about whether a woman is a yellow flower girl at all, as long as they can have children. Of course, the yellow flower girl is more popular, and the price is higher. After all, this place is poor and backward, and its thinking is relatively old-fashioned.
Because they can't pay attention to it, they can only be casual, which doesn't mean that they like casual.
"Hey, hey." Lao Jiang smiled, he knew that he would definitely not be able to hide from the people in the village if there was suddenly an extra woman in the family.
He didn't even think to hide it. Anyway, when the "old hen" gives birth in the future, she will definitely have to find the midwife in the village, and it is better to say it. So he told him about picking up a woman.
Although he doesn't look good, he is still old. But that one has a very smooth skin and feels good to the touch.
When the men get together, they will inevitably talk about meat, and immediately some people say how to slip it, is there a high school student who just bought it?
It's probably Feng Momei. Lao Jiang smiled all of a sudden, "I haven't touched it again, how do I know?" ”
