Chapter 13: The Old Liangzi

Ah Chu's face turned bad when he heard this voice, and he hurriedly looked back. The sharp female voice didn't mean to stop at all: "Chen Anchu, why are you staring at me, look at the three military masters, you and Shen Bingran can pick one by one, isn't it good?" ”

The eyes of the people around him were focused, and Ah Chu blushed angrily: "Aunt Wu, conscription is such a big thing, you should keep your mouth clean!" ”

This Aunt Wu is a widow in the village of the Chen family, when she was young, she married the eldest of a family with three brothers in the village, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. It's just that she is a person who refuses to suffer at all, and she forced the two uncles out of the house openly and secretly for a little family property. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law are honest farmers, and they have no power to resist Aunt Wu's means, her man is cowardly and afraid of guilt, and he doesn't dare to say anything about his two younger brothers.

However, when the child was three years old, he was found to be an idiot, Aunt Wu and his wife had no way to seek medical advice everywhere, and they couldn't conceive another one for a long time, and the people in the village pointed out that it was the retribution of Aunt Wu and his wife for driving away the two little uncles. The anxiety about the child's illness and the back-to-back fingers of the villagers have worn out the affection of Aunt Wu and his wife, and the two have been arguing and quarreling since then, and the son has been thrown to his grandfather and grandmother to care.

Finally one day, after the quarrel, Aunt Wu's man slapped Aunt Wu and slammed the door, ran to the town to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, but he got drunk and fell into the river, so he did so and became a short-lived ghost, and Aunt Wu also became a widow. Her son is getting older, and the trouble is even worse, Aunt Wu is unbearable, and people have become more and more mean and unreasonable, and most of the girls and daughters-in-law in the village know about her husband and son, and usually tolerate it.

I didn't have anything to do with her, but on the fifth day after Chen Yi woke up in a coma, I went out to collect medicine and came back, and Chen Yi was pranayama in the bamboo forest behind the house, and this Aunt Wu came to the door with a matchmaker, but she wanted to promise me to Aunt Wu's son as a daughter-in-law. I think they think that I am still the little seven who never deals with people, so they dare to come to the door to lobby the Mongolian people.

Trick an orphan girl into being your stupid son's daughter-in-law, and save a bride price, it's a good calculation! I sneered in my heart, but it was not good to turn my face directly: "Thank you, two aunts, I thought in my heart, but Bingran didn't have the idea of getting married for the time being, and I didn't live up to the good intentions of my aunts." ”

This Aunt Wu still didn't give up: "Xiaoqi, since you have already passed the marriage, you will marry sooner or later, besides, in this situation in your family, what man can come to the door to propose, my family ......"

I interrupted her: "First of all, my name is Shen Bingran now, Aunt Wu don't make a mistake." Secondly, you don't have to worry about whether there is a man proposing marriage, and finally, I remember that Aunt Wu, your only son is not yet thirteen years old this year, why should you be in such a hurry to discuss marriage? ”

Aunt Wu was interrupted by me, and she couldn't continue the words she had prepared, so she could only shout at the top of her voice: "I said why do you toast and not eat and drink, and you pushed it in such a hurry, didn't you already raise wild men so you don't look down on my Aunt Wu?" ”

I really sneered: "Wild man? What about the evidence? Red mouth and white teeth spread rumors, you don't accumulate some virtue for your son! And this is my house, you want to sprinkle it on me and scatter it elsewhere! ”

These words poked Aunt Wu's sore spot, and she howled on the spot: "Shen Bingran, that's how you talk to your elders? Do you believe me or not......"

I stood up suddenly, picked up the woodcutter in the medicine basket and forced it towards her: "What do you want to do?" Aunt Wu was so frightened by my actions that she retreated, and the matchmaker on the side was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, and shouted in her mouth: "If you have something to say, put the knife down!" ”

"Boom!"

The scythe was slammed into the table by me, and I said, "Fabricate a wild man for me out of thin air, is this what you want to say?" ”

Chen Yi suddenly took a few steps in front of me, he looked at me, saw that I was not injured, and his expression was no longer nervous, but when he saw the woodcutter in my hand, his face was also a little more solemn, and he hurriedly separated me and Aunt Wu with his body.

Seeing this, Aunt Wu's voice became louder: "You still say that you don't raise wild men?" Sure enough, he looks like a fox, just a cheap hoof who doesn't have anything to do with men behind his back. ”

I said: "This Brother Gu is a sergeant who rushed to fight in the three passes in the north of the town, and he only stayed with me for a few days because he was injured and separated from the large army, you can't get used to me, don't bring someone with you!" ”

Aunt Wu couldn't stop talking: "I think you're lying!" What kind of soldier, I think it's clearly a wild man you raised, even if it is, it is estimated that it is a deserter from which battalion. She scolded as she opened her teeth and claws to come up and hit me, but Chen Yi grabbed her wrist.

Aunt Wu let out a scream like a pig: "!" The soldier is beating people! The matchmaker was already trembling with fright: "Army... Master Jun, dissipate your anger...... Aunt Wu...... Aunt Wu, she is a little cheap, she won't hurt your lady...... You...... You've got a lot of ......."

Chen Yi frowned, but still let go of his hand, and Aunt Wu stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Chen Yi didn't have any expression on his face, but the clenched fist showed his anger, and he said to Aunt Wu: "This aunt, Miss Shen has no intention of getting married, why do you bother to force each other?" If you suspect that I am not a member of the army, you can take out the nameplate and let others check it, and I am definitely not such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! And I have never known Miss Shen in my life, but Miss Shen does have a life-saving grace for Gu, how can you be allowed to slander at will! ”

Just after being subdued by Chen Yi, Aunt Wu was already so frightened that she didn't even dare to look at Chen Yi more: "Military ...... Master Jun, I'm ...... I don't dare...... I ......"

I was afraid that she would make another fuss, so I hurriedly issued an eviction order: "What are you, don't get out of here!" ”

Aunt Wu left in a gloomy manner, I looked at the table that had suffered from the pond fish, and Chen Yi had already taken the knife off and held it in his hand one step ahead of me.

I said, "Give me the knife, and I'll go and chop the wood for cooking." ”

Chen Yi didn't let go: "I'll go." ”

"Give it to me. If you pull the wound, don't you have to let me bandage you? I smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be unlucky to cut her, I'm not as stupid as her." ”

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, then handed the handle of the knife towards me: "I'll go with you to chop wood." ”

I chopping wood when Chen Yi sat on the side, I saw that he was eager to try and always wanted to "do it for him", and hurriedly asked him about the delicious and fun in the capital to distract him.

After answering my long list of questions, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I should have been in the barracks for too long, and I don't know much about the clothes and jewelry that your girl's family likes, so I really can't say anything, I'm afraid I will disappoint you." ”

I laughed even harder: "Who said it, I think it's better than the storyteller in the town, I want to go to the capital to have fun." ”

He said seriously: "If you like it, when this battle is over, I will take you to the capital to shop, and we will buy whatever you want to eat and play." ”

I "clicked" a piece of firewood in half, as if I was still reminiscing about the capital he said, but did not answer.

Chen Yi saw that I didn't say a word, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, and he said softly: "That wicked woman won't come to trouble you again, right?" ”

He added, "That wicked woman has slandered you so much today, and if she were to go out and ruin your reputation, I would surely be dead." ”

I shook my head: "It's none of your business, she has a son who has been mentally demented since childhood, but she wants to trick me into being a child daughter-in-law for her, but she just wants to find a free maid. ”

Chen Yi's voice suddenly turned cold: "This poisonous woman...... I let her go so easily! ”

I tugged at his sleeve, "Okay, I know you can clean her up, but I can handle it, and you won't have to bother to teach her a lesson." Since this old pious woman has hit me with a bad heart, sooner or later she will tear her face, so it's better to fall out as soon as possible. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "Besides, after you leave, if she dares to think crookedly, I will be able to deal with it alone." ”

Chen Yi seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say any more, and in the end, he only sighed softly: "I'm worried about you." ”

After Chen Yi left, every time Aunt Wu met me, she had to deal with a few words, and the villagers knew what she was doing, so they only advised me not to take it too seriously, and I didn't bother to explain. People in this era are still a little in awe of soldiers, and Chen Yi's ability to subdue her before made her a little afraid, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense in the village.

Later, I learned that Aunt Wu later bought a fifteen-year-old young girl from Renyazi to be her son's "daughter-in-law", and when she beat and scolded the girl, she was bumped into by a young woman, who saw that she could not stop it and wanted to report to the official, but was told that the girl who was bought was a slave, and the government had no right to interfere in the discipline of the master "Aunt Wu". The girl was so pitiful that the magistrate couldn't help but admonish her. And Aunt Wu went out of the county office, and only stepped into the entrance of Chenjia Village with one foot, and was cut off by a long sword The headscarf and a lock of hair, but the person who shot was extremely fast, and Aunt Wu couldn't grasp the evidence, so she had to scold and cover her head and escape.

And this woman who had a holiday with her is Chen Anchu.

So sometimes the fate of people is really wonderful, I and Achu and the same person used to have a bad relationship, but we became close friends without knowing it, and since then we have embarked on the road of common hatred.

And today, the road is narrow, and there is no way to avoid it.
