There are strange things every year, especially this year, Bai Qianning listened to it with a heavy heart, and there was a nameless fire rising in his heart.

She had a cold face, and she couldn't lift half of her spirits and went to Xu's house with Xu Xiuzhu.

As soon as she walked to the door of Xu's courtyard, she saw He Shuanggen's legendary slanderous father, she had heard from Aunt Xu's mouth before, He Shuanggen's father ranked fourth in the family, so the people in their village called him He Laosi, but in the past two years, he has a bad reputation, and not many people will take care of him.

He Laosi is fat and strong, with a beard on his face, wearing a long jacket and a short horse coat, half of the hem is tucked into his pants, and the other side of the trouser leg is pulled up in half, which makes people feel bad at first glance.

In addition, he was sitting on the threshold of the Xu family with a face-to-face at the moment, scolding and not leaving, and he couldn't push it, which made Bai Qianning even more disgusted.

She followed Xu Xiuzhu into the yard, and Uncle Xu, who was trapped in the house and couldn't get out, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In their eyes, there is nothing that cannot be solved with Bai Qianning.

And Bai Qian stared at the scene in front of her, but sighed deeply, the recent events made her anxious, and she couldn't help but want to find an outlet.

"You go and get He Shuanggen."

Bai Qianning explained to Xu Xiuzhu, and when Xu Xiuzhu ran away, she walked slowly to the courtyard of the Xu family.

"Are you He Shuanggen's father?"

Bai Qianning had a calm face, raised his willow eyebrows and asked He Laosi.

And He Laosi turned his face when he heard the voice, squinted his eyes and looked up and down, revealing two rows of uneven big yellow teeth.

"You are Xu Xiumei?"

He Lao Si asked, stood up, and patted the dust on his butt with his hands crossed.

Bai Qianning listened to this, a moment of doubt flashed in his eyes, and when he saw that Xu Xiumei was not seen in the Xu family's house, he immediately understood, it turned out that He Laosi had not seen Xu Xiumei until now, so he recognized her as wrong.

Thinking of this, Bai Qianning sneered, simply made a mistake, raised his head and said, "That's right, I'm Xu Xiumei, what's wrong?" You didn't suck your son's blood enough, and you still want to run here to be a leech? ”

"You, what did you say?"

He Laosi never thought that the 'daughter-in-law who had not passed the door' in front of him would have such a pungent temperament, it is said that he had also inquired before he came, but everyone who had seen Xu Xiumei in several nearby villages praised Xu Xiumei for her docile and decent temperament without exception, how could this dead girl dare to talk back to him?

He Laosi's eyes were as wide as copper bells, looking at Bai Qianning, but Bai Qianning didn't intend to reply to his words at all, just stood in the middle of the courtyard with his arms crossed and smiled: "What? Is my adjective so appropriate that it scares you? It's not that I said, at your age, you don't know how to bring a face when you go out, and you lie down at the door of someone else's house if you have no face and no skin, do you plan for me to beat gongs and drums to find the neighbors of Shili Eight Villages to watch or what? ”

Hearing this, He Laosi's fat old face was even more red and white, and he stood in place for a long time and gasped for breath, before pointing at Bai Qianning and beating his chest and saying: "You stinky girl who has a mother and no mother, just like you, don't want to enter the door of my He family." ”

"The gate of the He family? If I'm not mistaken, He Shuanggen and her mother have nothing to do with you more than 20 years ago, right? Scold...... For a green. Lou woman, abandoned her wife and children, and now she has come to climb her relatives to ask for a bride price, and she is not afraid of retribution, besides, the silver and two things that you have stripped from He Shuanggen over the years, we haven't found you to settle it, just now. You send it to the door, and we'll do the math. ”

Bai Qianning said, and walked straight to the gate of Xu's house, and pushed away He Laosi, who was blocking the door, with one palm, and then brought a chair out in the surprised eyes of everyone, rested on the eaves, and sat down. Got up Erlang's legs.

When Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu saw this, they also hurriedly stepped out of the threshold and echoed: "Yes, calculate well, if you don't hand over a lot of the silver and two things stripped from He Shuanggen's plate today, I will send you to see the official." ”

"Official?"

Hearing this, He Laosi, who was still in a stalemate with Bai Qianning, suddenly laughed, he covered his stomach, squinted at Bai Qianning, and laughed wildly: "Lao Tzu takes his son's things, that's right." Still want to report to the police? You're going to repay it! The people who look at the government don't care about you. ”

Pretty crazy?

Bai Qian scolded in his stomach, but he didn't pay attention to his contempt at all, just raised his arms and looked up at the clouds in the sky, and casually recited the regulations on the legal code.

"Article 143 of the Law of Daye Kingdom stipulates that if a parent deliberately abandons and expels his biological child without raising him, he shall be fined 30 boards and sentenced to prison for two years, and shall not be required to support his child for the rest of his life. Article 215 of the Law of Daye Kingdom, although it is a biological blood relationship, after the separation of the family and the representative of their respective financial independence, if they take it without asking, it will be regarded as stealing and shall be sentenced to imprisonment of not less than one year but not more than three years. ”

Of course, these words are all nonsense from Bai Qian's mouth, but they are also applicable to scare and scare He Laosi.

Although He Laosi had wandered in the county in his early years, he was just a reckless man with no ink, and he was so frightened by Bai Qianning that he was almost scared to pee, but he was still unforgiving, and said tremblingly: "You, you, you, don't want to scare me, I, He Laosi, am not scared." Besides, this day is far away from the emperor, who the fuck dares to care about Lao Tzu's shit and fart. ”

"What? Still not convinced? Don't forget, He Shuanggen's future father-in-law is the village head, and he has to contact the boss every once in a while, so do you really think that no one dares to care about these sins you have done? ”

Hearing this, no matter how bad his temper was, He Laosi couldn't get up, and pointed at Bai Qianning, you, you, you didn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Bai Qianning knew that even if this matter was dealt with halfway, as long as he waited for He Shuanggen to come and threatened He Laosi to sign the letter of separation on the grounds of repaying the money, the matter would be over.

didn't expect He Shuanggen to come yet, and his father had already run away in disgrace.

Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu looked at the back of He Laosi fleeing in a hurry, smiled smoothly, and took Bai Qianning's hand to thank him vigorously.

At this time, Xu Xiuzhu also brought Xu Xiumei and He Shuanggen back, and they also came back with a hoe and a stone that was supposed to work on the farm.

"What about people?" Xu Xiuzhu turned around and didn't see He Laosi's figure, and asked suspiciously.

"I was angry with your shallow sister and ran away." Aunt Xu replied with a smile, and then remembered that He Shuanggen was still there, so she hurriedly put away the smile on her face again, and explained a little apologetically: "What, Shuanggen, Auntie is not unreasonable, it's just that your father is today." ”

"It's fine."

He Shuanggen didn't feel anything, maybe it was the experience of so many years that made him numb, and he had already been disappointed enough for his greedy father.

It's just that in the past, he had always fed the whole family by himself and was not hungry, and his father took away the money, so he ate two less meals and earned it by labor. But now that he has already thought about it, since he is about to get married, he has to plan for the future of him and Xiumei, and it is impossible to let his father continue to exploit endlessly as before.

Therefore, He Shuanggen continued: "It's my father's today, although he has already kicked me and my mother out of the house, I still have the obligation to say sorry to you, and I will try to negotiate with him in the future, and I will definitely not let him come here again to make trouble." ”

As He Shuanggen spoke, his eyes became darker and darker, and the memories of his youth were like ugly scars that always lingered in his most conspicuous places, making it difficult for him to get rid of.

Bai Qianning naturally noticed the strangeness in his eyes, so he took a few steps forward and comforted: "Okay, these things have nothing to do with you, I lied to him just now and scared him away temporarily, but he didn't achieve his goal, and he will definitely come again." What you should be thinking about now is how to persuade yourself, whether you are cold enough to cut off your connection completely.

Of course, I know that it is against filial piety to say this, but you should also understand that there are many kinds of laughter, and blindly conniving at it is foolish and undesirable. ”

"Well, I understand." He Shuanggen replied, and then continued: "Don't worry, in order to give Xiumei a good living environment, I will not continue to allow such a situation to happen again." ”

He Shuanggen's words were sincere, and everyone in the room was very smiling, but only Bai was shallow, his eyes became red, and he cried inadvertently.

"Sister Qian, why are you crying?"

Xu Xiuzhu asked happily.
