Chapter 23: Rhetoric
There is no law in the world that says that in order to fulfill filial piety, the family of the concubine must be forced to die.
Xi Feng's words are all accusing the people of the big house, taking the big chess of the Cheng family, and blatantly occupying the property of the second room.
The neighbors who came over on the side, at first saw Xi Feng beating the elders with a broom, and they all agreed that Xi Feng had committed a crime and did something wrong, but after Xi Feng cried, the eyes of the neighbors suddenly glared at Wang's mother and son with disdain.
"I broke up, and I still treat my brother's shop as my own, how can there be such a reason?"
"Brother, settle the accounts, isn't there no reason for this, this is taking the elders to send children, clearly occupying other people's property."
"Last time, Mrs. Xi and I went to the grain and oil shop opened by the Xi family's big house to buy oil, not only the price was more expensive than other people's grain and oil shops, but Mrs. Xi didn't bring so much silver at that time, and there was a difference of eight cents, the shopkeeper was stunned and poured out eight cents of oil, this thing is really not authentic, Mrs. Xi went to the incense and candle shop in the second room of the Xi family to buy things, it was not a penny, Mrs. Xi went to the grain and oil shop of the big house to buy things, that is not a penny, this is really ...... Hey, it's too much of a bully. ”
"Ah, what else is there?"
"Can I still fool everyone?"
Mrs. Zhang, a neighbor who lives on the right side of Xi Feng's house, is also a woman who likes to talk and make friends, and she gets along very well with Ruan's on weekdays, and when she goes out to buy things, she will call Ruan's together.
Ruan's family grows vegetables at home, and there is a grange at home, and there is no shortage of rice, vegetables, chicken, and eggs at home.
When the Xi family's big house was separated, they got two grain and oil shops, one grain and oil shop was not far from here, Ruan's buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all of them went to the Xi family's grain and oil shop to buy, in the eyes of outsiders, this is taking care of the brother's shop, in fact, it is impossible not to go, if you don't go, Cheng's will not agree.
The shop of the elder brother's family, the younger brother does not take care of it, doesn't this tell outsiders that the brother is not in harmony.
Therefore, even if the oil in the Xi family's shop was sold to her for a few cents more than others, Ruan's had to buy it, and the more times she went, Mrs. Zhang, who often went shopping with her, knew about it.
At this time, as soon as Mrs. Zhang said it, everyone immediately believed it, and they accused Wang of not doing personnel.
"They all say it's brothers, why do you go to the second master's incense and candle shop of the Xi family to buy something, that is, brother, you don't need to give silver, the second wife of Xi goes to your grain and oil shop to buy things, and you have to settle accounts with your brother?"
"What's the difference between your behavior and that of a robber?"
"It is also said that it is filial piety, the people present, who has no father-in-law and mother-in-law, who has not honored the elders, but there is no such filial piety law, what should be honored is filial piety, but if you go to the shop to get something and don't give silver, it is filial piety, this is the rule of the Xi family?"
"I cut down all the woods and trees of the village, I heard that the sandalwood tree is worth hundreds of taels of silver, dozens of sandalwoods, how much silver do you get, they are all occupied by the people of the big house, and the real bandits and robbers are not so shameless."
The neighbors who lived in this alley all surrounded them, more than a dozen families, all pointing at Wang, despising what she did, at first, Wang also angrily defended a few words, and then the more he said, he couldn't stand still, so he panicked and roared, "Why didn't you give the silver, don't listen to the nonsense of this dead girl Ah Feng." ”
