Chapter 41: I'll Go Jump into the River

Old man Shen's voice was very loud and a little angry, Wan Shi heard it and secretly shouted in his heart, thinking that the old man of her family loves face the most, and now that so many people in Xishan Village know about it, he is afraid that he will be angry.

Wan froze in place, seeing his son's blaming gaze, his old man shouted angrily, and he couldn't think of a way in his mind.

After Shen Shuang saw her father and her father coming, she was not as worried as before, and she no longer cried and annoyed people, but she kept wiping her tears but also won everyone's sympathy.

Xu Shi didn't care about his dizziness and nosebleeds, took Shen Musheng's hand and cried and begged, "Dad, you tell your mother not to sell our Xiaoshuang, she just returned to me, and our mother didn't get along much." ”

Shen Shuang was very moved when she heard this, and she also held her mother tightly, with a sad look on her face, she knew that Sapo could not solve the problem, and it might be more useful to win sympathy.

"Dad, please let my grandmother not sell me, I don't want to marry that old man, he is older than my grandfather, I want to accompany my father and mother at home, Xiaoshuang is willing to do any job, Dad, you beg my grandfather and grandmother, don't let them drive me and my mother away."

Wan had just forced her and her mother to get out of the old Shen family with death, since this was the case, then she would follow her words well.

Xiaoshan was already sensible, he listened to these words for fear that his mother and sister would be driven away, and he also held Shen Musheng's hand tightly, his eyes were red but he didn't dare to cry.

Shen Musheng didn't know how things came to be like this, his wife was going to be driven away, his daughter was going to be sold, his son was a little mute who couldn't speak and was always disliked by his mother, he felt very worried when he thought about it, and turned around and knelt in front of the old man Shen who hadn't had time to attack and the weak-hearted Wan clan.

"Mother, do you really want to sell Xiaoshuang to an old man?"

It was the first time that Wan Shi was questioned like this by her eldest son, and she looked at her with angry eyes, so she usually had a lot of fuss, but now she didn't care about being angry at all, because she didn't dare to admit it, she could only talk nonsense with her eyes open, so her confidence was also insufficient, "What are you talking about?" These people eat radishes salty and don't worry about nonsense. ”

Old man Shen saw that there were more and more onlookers, and even a few respected old people in the village were there, and he was even more embarrassed in his heart, knowing that this matter was not easy to deal with today.

Shen Shuang wanted to laugh when she heard Wan's denial, so many people were present and saw the old man, she even wanted to cover her ears and steal the bell, what kind of IQ was it?

Immediately, someone dismantled the stage in the next second, "Wan Pozi, you just said that we should leave your old Shen family alone, and you said that you can't even care about the third uncle if you sell your granddaughter." ”

"That's right, Wan Pozi, what do you say, let's talk nonsense? Just now, everyone saw the old man with his waist bent and his mouth full of teeth, and he himself admitted that he wanted to marry Shen Shuang, you are so ruthless, that old man is older than Lord Zhuzi. ”

……

Everyone quickly pierced Wan's mouth, so angry that she trembled, Old Man Shen listened to the whole process with a black face and didn't speak, but he was so angry that he wanted to turn around and leave.

Shen Shuang and Xu Shi cried when they saw the opportunity, and the family of four knelt in front of Wan's family, "Mother, please don't sell Xiaoshuang, I will make cattle and horses for the old Shen family." ”

"Ahhhh......h

Seeing this, the third uncle, who had been watching without speaking, also led several old people who had just witnessed the whole thing out, stared at Old Man Shen with a serious face and asked, "Laifu, this matter?" What are you going to do about it? Anyway, our Xishan Village has always had simple customs, and we don't allow our granddaughter to be sold. ”

Old man Shen has always respected this old and majestic third uncle, and he was really a little uneasy when asked by this question, "Third uncle, this must be a misunderstanding, could it be that my wife made everyone misunderstand something." ”

"Uncle Shen, it's not a misunderstanding, everyone has seen the old man."

"Yes, we know him as the old man who runs a wonton stall by the river in the town, and there is a sick old woman at home."

The third uncle looked at Old Man Shen, who didn't dare to squeak at this moment, with a disappointed expression, "Listen to what this means?" If your granddaughter is married back, it will be the concubine of that old man, there is no one in our Xishan Village who runs to be a concubine, no matter how poor it is, we will not sell our children and daughters! ”

Wan Shi was so frightened by these loud words that he shrunk his neck, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of a quibbly excuse, "Third uncle, this wrong, it's all this stinky girl's nonsense, my third child is still planning to take the Xiucai exam, how can I sell his niece and ruin his reputation?" ”

"Alas, I didn't make it clear to Xiaoshuang about this, I just planned to let her go to the old man in the town who sold wontons as an apprentice, and she could also learn a means of making a living in the future, you have to know that my granddaughter has been pampered since she was a child, and she can't do anything, who wants to marry in the future?"

"If you want to say that I have good intentions, I didn't expect to be wronged by her and betrayed her, even if I am short of money, I will not do such a conscience-losing thing, third uncle, you have to make the decision for me."

Shen Shuang was stunned and rolled her eyes after listening to these words, this time she really understood what it meant to reverse black and white, this Wan Shi was really a talent, and she could even break it back when the iron and iron facts were in front of her.

Xu Shi was also scared when he heard this, and was soothed by Shen Shuang's eyes.

And because Shen Musheng was not present, he seemed to be a little shaken when he heard this, and there was some hesitation in his expression, which scared her and she was quite afraid that her father would turn against her.

However, what Shen Shuang was most afraid of was that the Wan clan would really make the third uncle shake his mind, and her grandmother's statement seemed to sound reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it, but the premise was that everyone didn't hear the scolding between her and a few women just now.

Fortunately, although the third uncle is old, he is not an old fool, listening to Wan's words, his face is so dark, of course, he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, after all, it also belongs to the Shen family's own family affairs, "Laifu, you must deal with this matter well, otherwise don't blame everyone in our village for helping your granddaughter come out." ”

The village chief of the village is the son of the third uncle, and the people in the village will go to the ancestral hall in the village if there is any dispute or need to uphold justice.

Wan Shi thought that she would be criticized for opening the ancestral hall, and the whole person became a little bad, but now that everyone is here, she doesn't dare to attack Shen Shuang and Xu, she is so aggrieved.

The third uncle looked at Wan's quail appearance with a shrunken neck, and the assurance of the old man Shen, he was willing to be a peacemaker, he walked up to Shen Musheng and patted him on the shoulder, "Mu Sheng, discuss this matter with your father and mother, your girl's experience is also bumpy, you have to explain it well, no matter what, our Xishan Village can accommodate a girl who is willing to work hard, who wants to buy and sell living people, I am the first to disagree." ”

Shen Musheng naturally believed in the respected third uncle, and nodded again and again, although he would not say anything nice, but he was very grateful to the third uncle in his heart.

Seeing that the matter was almost handled, the third uncle waved everyone away, "It's all gone, what should I do." ”

The villagers watched the excitement enough to talk for a while, so they didn't give up, and they still had work to do, so they quickly dispersed, and this farce could be said to be over outside for the time being.

After everyone left, Shen Shuang also breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, she dragged her body and her father together to support her mother to walk in the direction of home, Wan Shi saw that everyone was about to make trouble as soon as they left, but after being subdued by the old man Shen's eyes, he walked back to the old Shen's house violently.

Of course, Shen Shuang didn't get any good face from Old Man Shen, and Shen Shuang was also very self-aware, knowing that he made him lose face and embarrassed the old Shen family, and there was no hope for a good face.

"Mourning star, Xu's is a mourning star, I'm not alive."

As soon as Shen Shuang helped her mother into the courtyard gate of the Shen family, she heard the sound of Wan's screaming in the yard, and when she looked up, her father was standing aside squatting and smoking dry tobacco, and her milk was not dirty, sitting on the ground while patting her thighs and crying rhythmically, and her voice was also very loud.

"What kind of sin did I do to help my son marry such a mourning star and give birth to such a little mute and a big fat pig, and now I even bring outsiders to bury me, who is a milkman, I don't live anymore, I don't live anymore."

Shen Shuang listened to the words of this repeated content over and over again, she really felt that her ears were about to have a rash, she had only been here for a few days and listened to it every day, obviously in the past ten years, Wan Shi had been scolding her mother every day, and she was really used to it, as if she Shen Shuang couldn't howl and act.

Shen Shuang thought about it and let go of her mother's hand, the tears didn't need to be brewed at all, she stretched out her hand and wiped her tears pitifully, of course she didn't want to learn to pat her thighs and sit on the ground and cry, she felt old-fashioned and like a shrew.

"Grandpa, grandma, why don't you sell me! Don't scold my mother, what does this have to do with my mother, it's all my fault, I should die outside, I'd better go to the stream outside and jump into the river. ”

As he spoke, Shen Shuang wiped her tears and walked out.

Old man Shen didn't care about smoking the dry cigarette, and hurriedly asked Shen Musheng to stop him, "What are you doing, Musheng, stop your daughter." ”

Shen Shuang wanted to go out, then it was not Shen Musheng who could stop her, seeing that she was walking out of the yard, Wan was also anxious, she just wanted her eldest son's family to kneel in front of her and admit her mistake, and then the family continued to let her take it to death, but she never thought that Shen Shuang would say that she was going to jump into the river.

If she really jumped into the river, then she Wan would be accused of forcing her granddaughter to death. Let's not talk about whether Shen Shuang will really jump, but let the people in the village see it, she must open an ancestral hall to let her kneel and repent!

Wan Shi was so frightened that he hurriedly got up from the ground and dragged the person back, and he didn't dare to say anything heavy, but it was impossible for her to say anything to beg Shen Shuang.

Xiao Wan, who was sleeping in the house, heard movement in the yard and hurriedly ran out, but found that the whole family was pulling Shen Shuang back, and she was confused, "Dad, mother, what's wrong?" ”
