Chapter 144: Bullying orphans and widows
Widow Li smiled, "If you want to keep him and not spend some effort, you don't care about this, mother." ”
Chu Ge pretended to be stupid, didn't object, took the washing plate to the back to wash his face, and after a while, Ji Beihan came out, the injuries on his body were already much better, he was ready to say goodbye, half a year was coming, he was afraid that Chu Ge would be poisoned, and he had to send the antidote back as soon as possible!
"Auntie, I appreciate bothering for many days, I feel much better today, this is a little heart, please accept it." Ji Beihan took out a silver ingot and put it on the table.
Widow Li said embarrassedly, "You want to leave, you are not in good health, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
"I'm really embarrassed to bother again, besides, after a long time, I'm afraid of ruining the girl's reputation. ”
"It's really rare that you can think of this, but Childe, if you get out of here now, my family's reputation will not be saved, if you are really afraid of ruining her reputation, it is better to come and propose." ”
Chu Ge was nervous and didn't dare to make a sound, Ji Beihan was silent for a few seconds, and replied, "I'm sorry, there is a family person below, and the lady of the family is still waiting for me to go back, how can I live up to her sincerity?"
When Chu Ge heard this, he became angry, and directly dropped the plate in his hand, "Let's go, let's go, hurry up, who cares if you stay, mother, why do you have so many things?"
Widow Li said embarrassedly, "Yes, yes, it's a troublesome mother, forget it, don't talk about this, eat the meal, you have to go, you can't leave on an empty stomach." ”
Ji Beihan nodded and sat down, the next scene was very embarrassing, everyone didn't speak, they bowed their heads and ate, Chu Ge's face was very bad, and he had nowhere to vent.
Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs beating outside, and some villagers shouted, "Listen, everyone, after breakfast, everyone will gather in the grain field, the village chief is talking, everyone must be there!"
"Mother, what's the big deal?"
Widow Li shook her head, "I don't know, let's eat quickly, let's go over together after eating and see what's going on." ”
Chu Ge nodded, quickly finished a bowl of rice, and pulled Widow Li away, Ji Beihan ate elegantly, still chewing slowly, Widow Li said, "Son, eat slowly, if you are not in a hurry to leave, wait for us to come back, if you are in a hurry, then forget it, and then you will leave." ”
Ji Beihan nodded and said thank you, and Chu Ge pulled Widow Li away.
When they arrived at the grain field, there were already a lot of people here, and Widow Li pulled Chu Ge to stand over, wanting to ask others something, but before they could open their mouths, the villagers walked away, obviously deliberately isolating the two of them.
"Mother, ignore them. ”
Widow Li smiled helplessly, holding her daughter's hand, a little uneasy.
After a while, the village chief walked up, glanced at the people below, and asked in a loud voice, "Are they all here? ”
Someone counted the number of people and replied, "Basically, everyone has arrived, except for the old, weak, sick, disabled and young, as long as they can move, they have all come." ”
"That's fine, what I'm going to talk about today is a big thing that affects every family, the biggest thing!" the village chief coughed, everyone raised their faces happily and waited, he took a sip of tea, and continued, "Everyone understands, right? It's a ten-year land division conference, isn't this land division the biggest thing?"
The crowd applauded, "Okay, we're for it!"
Widow Li instantly understood, and her eyes darkened a little.
The village chief continued, "In the past ten years, our village has changed a lot, some families have more sons, some people have no sons, and there are no sons, so this family that has more sons will naturally suffer, there are many people, and the land is not enough to eat, and those who have not given birth to sons or have fewer sons occupy so much fertile land and can't plant it, so it is naturally a waste, so now it is redistributed, and families with men have a share, and each man has one acre of land and three points of land!
After listening to this, Chu Ge finally understood that the village chief was going to collect her family's fields, and he did a really good job!
Naturally, she was not convinced, and asked in a loud voice, "Why? Doesn't a woman eat? I haven't married yet, my mother married into this village, and she is a person from this village, so why doesn't she give us land? Where does this rule come from?"
Widow Li pulled her and persuaded in a low voice, "Forget it, it has been like this since ancient times, and you can't fight for it." ”
"Mother, of course not, just because women never fight, so they give these men face, thinking how great they are, looking down on women, that is, looking down on your mother and sisters, let me ask, which of you has no women? Without women, where did you come from? Growing up eating women's milk, but looking down on women, not giving women to the fields, what kind of men are you? You can only bully women, and you have the ability to go outside to open up wasteland. ”
Chu Ge pinched his waist and scolded, scolding all the men present, naturally provoking the anger of the public, and the men cursed one after another, "The daughter of Widow Li's family, you can't talk more than your brain? This is a rule passed down by the ancestors for thousands of years, you are a woman, you know a fart! Your mother didn't speak, what did you little woman say?"
"I said, what's the matter? You faceless fools, I'll talk here, whoever dares to take my family's land, I'll fight with him!" Chu Ge walked up to the stage, pushed the village chief away, and glared angrily at the hundreds of young strong men below, without the slightest fear.
None of the women were on her side, they all shook their heads, thinking she was crazy.
The village chief said angrily, "You little woman, dare to come up?
When the village chief spoke, he also started to beat her, but Chu Ge directly pinched his hand, twisted it hard, and twisted him into a big man, "Oh, this little girl is going to die, even the village chief dares to beat her, I think she is possessed by the devil! Everyone come and help and kill this demon." ”
The villagers rushed up, Chu Ge had to let go first, to deal with these villagers who came up, fortunately, she still had some three-legged cat kung fu, these people wanted to hurt her, it was not easy, I saw that she was agile, dodged their attacks, and hit a few rough men close to her with her backhand.
Widow Li was afraid that her daughter would suffer, so she rushed up, crying and shouting and begging them to stop, just walked to the neighborhood, the village chief suddenly picked up a flat pole, and hit Widow Li hard, only to hear her scream, fell to the ground, her forehead was broken, and the blood seeped out, the village chief said viciously, "Kill this mother and daughter, the ancestors don't listen to the words, why do you want this kind of unfilial descendants?"
"Mother!" Chu Ge pushed aside everyone, rushed over, knelt down in front of Widow Li, and cried into tears, "Mother, don't die, don't leave me." ”
Widow Li was weak and only had one breath left, held her hand, and said helplessly, "Chu Ge, run, don't reason with these people, run." ”
