Chapter 20: Tie Zhu Divorced
The family originally thought that the village chief's family would come to tomorrow, after all, today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, that is, the new year, the day of sending the stove to the prince.
Unexpectedly, the two village chiefs, as well as Li Zheng, and the two clan elders came to the house that night, and Grandpa Wu's face sank when he saw such a battle, and it was obvious that he was going to use his power to suppress people.
Qingmei followed behind, and was also startled when she saw a group of people coming to the house, and then she was a little happy to see Brother Tiezhu, who was still following her, and she wanted to go up to say hello after taking a few steps forward, but she didn't go out yet, and she didn't want to be pulled by Wu Qingquan next to her.
"What are you doing!"
"There are so many guests in the house, you go to the kitchen to boil some water and bring it up." Wu Qingquan knew what was going on when he looked at this battle, but he still didn't want his sister to know about it.
Qingmei returned after serving the tea, and then was sent to Helan's room by Wu's mother.
"Sister Lan, what are they talking about?"
"I don't know, it should be a big deal, otherwise why are there so many people."
"Could it be that we are married?"
Helan turned her head and glanced at the little girl when she heard Qingmei's words, such a big battle is definitely not a matter of marriage, and so many married people in the village have not seen the grandfather and Lizheng of the clan. On the contrary, if it is related to the relationship between the clan, it will only appear, and it is ...... She figured she could probably guess something.
The little girls didn't know that what was happening and what they said in the house at this moment could already make an honest man carry a knife. Grandpa Wu hated himself for seeing things too clearly at the moment, if he hadn't read the sage books, or if he hadn't read them too clearly, he would be able to dissipate his anger by mixing the past ruthlessly.
Grandpa Wu originally thought that this matter should also be the head of Wu Village to speak first, after all, it was a matter of juniors, how could he expect that this old boy knew that his seniority was lower than his own, so he found Li Zheng to help him talk about it.
Here is the second uncle of Village Chief Wu again, but it's not his own family helping his own family, and he is willing to continue this offending thing.
"Brother Zhipeng, the child's matter has gone wrong, I wonder if I can forget it."
"Forget it? Zhigao, what's wrong? What kind of statement is this, Geng stickers have been changed, don't you just wait to get married? How do I not understand it? ”
"Since things have come to this point, I'll tell you through......" Wu Lizheng looked at Grandpa Wu's face, and felt that he didn't look like he knew anything, and knew that what Village Chief Wu told him was not false.
The reason is this: After Wu Tiezhu got along with the woman, Carpenter Zhang knew that he was not angry, and he had already learned that Wu Tiezhu's family had already made a marriage, but he didn't expect to hook up with his girl, so he wanted to expel him from the wall.
This girl is also infatuated, if she is not Tiezhu, she will not marry, and Carpenter Zhang, who has no choice, will let Tiezhu take care of her own affairs first, and the girl in their family cannot be a second room.
The meaning is also clear, that is, if you want to marry my girl, you must withdraw from the marriage. Originally, this carpenter was also quite satisfied with this kid, he usually came to work, and he was serious about his work, but it was a pity that he was engaged, so he didn't consider him at first. Unexpectedly, in the end, this kid took advantage of the loophole and deceived his daughter.
Grandpa Wu didn't expect this stubble to be so sudden and direct, he originally planned to do Tai Chi, and he said it so clearly and clearly, this situation is not going to save face.
"So what do you mean now, is it to come to the house to oppress people with power?" After listening to the ins and outs of what the other party said, Grandpa Wu's hands trembled angrily.
"Brother, don't be angry first, I also know that this is what we did wrong, Tiezhu is really not right, but you also know what the situation is, Qingmei, this girl has also grown up with me, and I will not treat her badly, if you have any requirements, just mention it."
"This has already forced people to death, what more do you want!" Grandpa Wu was holding a book in his hand, but he really wanted to smash it at this moment, he had never seen such a righteous and justified man with such a bad heart.
"Well, I knew I shouldn't do this, but there's nothing the clan can do! But old brother, we still need these juniors in Wujia Village, and we have to support them, we have to look far away! ”
"So let Tiezhu abandon my granddaughter to give the village a face? Let someone in my family step on the soles of his feet? Grandpa Wu was a little excited when he said this, and Grandpa Wu, who usually didn't say a word heavy, wanted to stand up and "shrew scold the street".
"It's not a profit, Carpenter Zhang also said that the children born after marriage only need a boy and a woman's surname." After listening to what Grandpa Wu said, Village Chief Wu hurriedly picked up the topic. His idea is very simple, it will be ugly to hear, and the people in their family may not be able to hold their heads up in the future, so they can't let others misunderstand.
As soon as the words came out, I realized that I had said the wrong thing, and I wanted to slap myself in the mouth, but I only cared about my face, but I forgot about today's occasion.
"It's all been discussed! It doesn't look like it's a day or two! I didn't mention it until now, this is going to trample our family's face under our feet and twist it! If your family had been in this mood, it would have been mentioned earlier, and it would not have delayed my granddaughter for so many years, now? I didn't say it until now, you all have found a good family to say, when our Wu family has no one, right! ”
Grandpa Wu, who was originally angry, laughed angrily, his own family was tricked! And they have been playing for many years, and they have been willing to be a stumbling block for others for a few years!
At this time, Wu's father also spoke: "The marriage certificate has been taken to the government for the record, what can I do now?" Do you want to divorce our girl to make room for someone else! Don't think about it, you kid wait for me, don't think about it! ”
Wu Tiezhu, who was standing on the side, heard the words of Grandpa Wu and Father Wu, and also had a weak heart and hid behind his parents.
Village Chief Wu looked at the elders seated with a weak heart, and then said, "That...... I didn't hand over the marriage letter you gave me last time, and it's still in my hand. ”
One sentence attracted everyone present to look at it, this thing is really not authentic, and it has been hidden for a lot of days, this is a long time ago!
However, Li Zheng and Wu Zhigao also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there is no need to write a letter of resignation to force other girls, otherwise the two families will really break up in the future, and there is no relationship between relatives.
"Brother Zhipeng, you also know that this matter is a big deal, and you know how to choose, I will tell you the sincerity of our family first: in the future, Qingmei will be the goddaughter of the village chief, and the dowry that was sent over at the beginning was also when we gave the girl a dowry, so it was said that it was a big deal, and the two people were not in harmony, if someone asked about the others, we would not hide it from the villagers. We can't just drag the two children together because of this incident, so let's just give up. ”
"Everything has been discussed, let's talk about it, is our family bad for those things!" Grandpa Wu didn't want to take what this old boy said.
"Brother, it's all come to this point, it's not the time to ask, how can we say that we are also a family, one is prosperous, and the other is lost."
Grandpa Wu was also a little silent, the first four generations were still a family, and such a big thing would have started in someone else's house.
Father Wu stood behind his father, watching Uncle Li Zheng say that his father was silent, and he knew in his heart that his father was going to compromise, and his heart was like a big stone pressing down and he couldn't breathe.
"I'll also say it bluntly, if you want me to do this scene with a friendly person, first send me the marriage book and Geng Tie back tomorrow openly, and if you meet people along the way, you have to explain it according to the reason you just said." No matter how tough Grandpa Wu's words are, he knows that he lost this match, and for the sake of Qingmei's reputation and future, he must agree.
"Cheng, I'm in charge of this matter, tomorrow I will let Wu Haimao lead the iron pillar to come on a trip, and then carry half a pig to formally apologize to you!" Li Zheng also knew that he couldn't suppress it at this time, and immediately said soft words: "Brother, our Wu family will have to support us in the future, but we can't have a gap because of this little thing, just say anything at home in the future, and never shirk." ”
After Wu Lizheng finished saying this, the eldest clan elder sitting on the upper seat also spoke: "Zhipeng, it is not easy for our Wu family to come to this point, this world is so chaotic, we have to support and go down with one heart." ”
"Uncle, I understand what you said, I know what to do, but if someone doesn't leave any face for our family, I can't pretend to be a grandson!" Grandpa Wu obviously didn't mean to say much.
"No, no! Brother, don't worry, what should I do tomorrow when I go back, I must say it well, and I must not hurt the peace. ”
After Li Zheng finished speaking, no one continued to talk, and a group of people also saw that Grandpa Wu didn't have the heart to speak anymore, so they all looked at each other a little sneeringly.
Li Zheng also knew that he couldn't stay longer, so he motioned to Village Chief Wu to bring the gifts he brought, and called on everyone to leave.
Qingmei, Helan and the others came to the hall after leaving, and looking at the sad faces of the family, they knew that something must have happened at home, otherwise when everyone left, no one could get up to see off the guests.
Feeling the low pressure in the room, he didn't dare to speak, so he could only silently clean up the mess on the table.
Qingmei first dragged her younger brother, planning to call him out to ask what the situation was, but she didn't expect to pull it twice and didn't pull it, this kid was very blind.
"Mei girl, you come into the house with me, and I'll tell you something." Things have come to this point, the parties don't know yet, and Wu's mother doesn't know how to explain to her girl.
At this time, Helan had time to clean up, and it was not early, so he hurriedly sped up the movements in his hands, and when he was wiping the table, he saw Qingmei rushing out of Wu's mother's room, and the door was almost not broken.
After a while, Wu's mother also walked out of the room with red eyes, picked up the rag in Helan's hand and began to wipe the table.
At this moment, Wu's mother and Helan were in the hall, Wu's father was hiding in the yard and smoking, and Grandpa Wu and Qingquan also returned to the room.
Wu's mother wiped and cried, Helan opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, she thought, she should have guessed something.
