Chapter 30: Reaping the Consequences
"And it's not an ordinary medicinal herb." Wen Yiheng also joined the center of the eye of the storm and directly characterized the matter: "That is the rare and exotic grass that I asked the county official to search for me, which was used to configure the antidote to the plague." Su Miaoling stole the brocade bag and medicinal herbs, delaying the treatment of the plague disease, this is not just a trivial matter of stealing, but a major matter related to human life. If the time drags on for a long time, the antidote is not dispensed, and more people will die. Can your Su family afford these tragic deaths? ! ”
As soon as the onlookers heard that the matter was related to life-saving medicinal materials, they understood that Su Miaoling took a brocade bag of medicinal materials containing the antidote to the plague, and instantly changed her original posture of watching the excitement, replaced it with an angry face, and scolded the Li family and the people of the big house one after another.
"Old Madam Su! Your Su family stole our life-saving medicine, is this to kill us? Before, he also spread rumors and let us go to Jiu Dong'er's house to grab medicine! How can the human heart be so vicious?!! ”
"Sister-in-law Kim! Look at your daughter! Steal our life-saving medicine! Delay the government's dispensing of antidotes! What is it that is not murder for money? ”
Some villagers were not angry enough to scold, and directly relied on the plague on Su Miaoling's head: "I'll just say why the plague has lasted so long and hasn't ended!" It turned out that Su Miaoling, a little cheap hoof, stole medicinal materials and delayed the preparation of the antidote. Cheap people, damn it! Bah! ”
The villagers, you and I scolded each other, and they were all ready to come up and beat people. Li Shi heard Wen Yiheng characterize the matter as a major matter of human life, and instantly understood that Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong were going to put Su Miaoling to death, and immediately threw the crutches, and was about to kneel down for Lei Jingyun, breaking the jar and falling, intending to make the scene ugly, and there was a bad rumor that the son of a county official bullied people and forced the old man to kneel.
Lei Jingyun and Wen Yiheng want to drive people to a dead end, so even if she Li gives up this old life, she will not let them have a good time.
Su Miaoling also thought that she was just picking up a brocade bag casually, which was not a big deal, but she didn't expect Wen Yiheng to suddenly raise the matter to the height of human life, and cried even more in shock, tears were divided into four tears, tears flowed sideways, hair and clothes were broken free when they were struggling, and no matter how good-looking people wept, they would not be so good-looking, only embarrassed.
Where is Wen Yiheng willing to let the Li family wish, and gestured with his eyes to Lei Jingyun's eyes to stabilize the Li family. Wen Yiheng took back the brocade bag and felt that it was enough to make a fuss, and it was time to come forward to control the situation, so he pointed out a clear way to Dafang: "Su Miaoling stealing the antidote to the plague is tantamount to murdering for money, and according to the law, it will be punished with capital punishment, and the autumn queen will be beheaded." But if you hand over the medicinal materials, maybe the county magistrate will take the initiative and be honest and let it go lightly, and Su Miaoling will not end up on the ground. ”
As soon as she heard that there was a chance to be rescued, Su Miaoling wiped her snot and tears, walked to Wen Yiheng's feet on her knees, looked at Wen Yiheng reverently as if she were praying to God and worshiping Buddha, and said sadly: "Medicinal herbs... I threw the herbs in the mud in the yard, and they are still there! I can take your sister to see you! I beg you not to kill me! ”
Lei Jingyun was making a fuss here in the Su family's big house, and Su Jiudong was watching coldly from the sidelines. She is not a virgin, in the face of the Su family's big house, who loves to take advantage of small advantages, is insatiable, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, Su Jiudong has never been sympathetic, and is also glad that she is fortunate that she has crossed over to replace the original owner, so that she can stand here and avenge the original owner, otherwise according to the soft and gentle character of the original owner, it is estimated that she will be bullied to death by these people.
Wen Yiheng saw that Su Miaoling was crying scary, turned his head to look at Su Jiudong, who was indifferent, and asked her with his eyes. Su Jiudong nodded in agreement. The Li family and the Jin family looked at Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng, and the two of them were angry and angry, but they had no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow blood.
Wen Yiheng asked Su Miaoling to lead the way, and the group came to the mud in the courtyard of the big house. Su Miaoling climbed into the mud with her hands and feet, dug out the medicinal materials in a corner of the mud with her hands, and then wrapped the medicinal materials one by one with a cloth and brought them out.
Lei Jingyun handed the cloth bag to Su Jiudong, Su Jiudong opened it and looked at it carefully, prunella, blood exhaustion, Huoxiang, stone calamus, cinnabar, northern fine pungent and so on...... All kinds of medicinal herbs are full of medicinal properties. Su Jiudong nodded to Wen Yiheng with satisfaction, Wen Yiheng turned around and whispered a few words to Lei Jingyun, and then took Su Jiudong to squeeze away from the crowd.
When Su Jiudong checked the medicinal materials, Li Shi once looked at it, but saw that the cloth bag was full of ordinary medicinal materials, which were not as important as Wen Yiheng said, and he was instantly angry, and he wanted to reason with Wen Yiheng again, but Lei Jingyun stood in front of her, glaring angrily, making her dare not make another time.
As soon as Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng left, Lei Jingyun was ready to end the matter and clean up the aftermath.
"Old Madam Su, since the son doesn't plan to pursue this matter, I won't be nosy, and take your family home to take care of it, don't come out and be embarrassed again. As for the matter of discussing relatives, my Lei family has no intention of looking at each other anymore, so I should give up. Our Lei family would not dare to marry a daughter-in-law who lacks discipline. Lei Jingyun threw the brocade bag at Su Miaoling's feet and left without looking back.
Seeing that things had calmed down and there was no drama to watch, the people in the village also left in twos and threes. Jin and Su Miaoling cried and made a fuss this time, and they all lay on the ground exhausted. Su Miaoling continued to cry, tearing off a silk handkerchief and covering her face, and continued to cry bitterly. Lei Jingyun broke off his marriage with Su Miaoling in public, and Dafang's face was lost.
Li walked into the house and saw that the two of them were crying in shame, and they raised their canes to beat people. Jin sat up on his knees to stop Li, hugged Li's legs, and said hatefully: "Mother-in-law, I think all this is instigated by Su Jiudong behind his back!" She was the one who hurt me! Hurt my son! Hurt the Su family! I'm going to make that little slut feel bad! I want her dead!! ”
"Everything is Su Jiudong's fault!" The Jin family said angrily: "Since the separation, Su Jiudong has seen the sky to make a stumbling block for our big house. If she hadn't deliberately thrown the brocade bag at the door of her house to attract people, Ah Ling would not have picked it up. That day, she obviously saw Ah Ling wearing the brocade bag, and deliberately pretended not to know the brocade bag to talk to us, and deliberately congratulated us, I think she was thinking about how to harm us at that time! ”
"Shut up! Don't say that she Su Jiudong deliberately threw the brocade bag at the door of her house, even if she threw it unintentionally, you shouldn't pick it up! And that brocade bag, did she force Ah Ling to wear it blatantly?! It's only to blame you for not teaching Ah Ling well. You are stupid! You usually like to take advantage of small advantages, so that Ah Ling has learned from you and you are greedy, dare to pick up anything at home, and swagger to wear it out, is it for fear that the owner will not see it? ! ”
Li broke free of Jin's legs, sat on the top, shook his head sullenly and sighed: "I still go to provoke Su Jiudong every once in a while, and now people are next to the grandson of Master Xiucai, can you afford to provoke it?!" You still want her to die, how do you let her die? Are you going to kill her with a knife? Do you have the guts? I'd rather you have the courage to kill her, and when you are arrested by the government, I can take Ah Ling back to the ancestral house and raise her by my side, I will educate her myself, and I will never let her suffer this kind of loss again! ”
Jin was reprimanded, and held back his anger, "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, but the fault is not all mine, all of this was provoked by Su Jiudong." ”
"Say no more! This time it was all caused by the two of you, and it almost affected the other girls of my Su family...... In the future, if other girls are dismarried, your Jin family will not have enough ten lives to apologize to my Su family ancestors! ”
Li scolded angrily, seeing that Su Miaoling was crying so much that she had no strength, lying on the ground was really pitiful, and looked at the angry Jin family next to her, knowing that the Jin family would never give up, and there would still be trouble in the future, so he proposed to take Su Miaoling back to the ancestral house to live.
"Ah Ling was taught badly by you, but fortunately, she is not too old, I will take her back to the ancestral house to live first, and raise her by my side for another year, and when she has corrected all her bad problems, she will marry me directly after she is raised. You can still come and see her when you have time, but don't even think about taking her back. ”
The Jin family immediately pulled up Su Miaoling, who was crying and had no strength, to block behind her, and promised to the Li family in resignation: "Mother-in-law! You took Ah Ling back to the ancestral house to raise, and what will Xingping think of me when you come back from work? What will the people in the village think of me? Think I'm a mother who can't even teach her own children?! Let's let Ah Ling stay by my side, I will educate her well in the future, no longer learn badly, and no longer provoke Su Jiudong, don't take Ah Ling away......"
The Jin family cried miserably, and made a promise with a handful of snot and tears, and the Li family couldn't bear to see the mother and daughter separated, and finally didn't take Su Miaoling back to the ancestral house. It's just that after this incident, the attitude of the people in the village towards the Su family's big house has changed, and in the past, they were only close neighbors who were more trouble-loving, but now they have become wicked people who directly steal medicine and kill people indirectly, everyone spits on the big house very much, and the Jin family's life is sad in an instant.
Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng took back the medicinal materials, and devoted themselves to the trivial matters of dispensing and testing drugs as they wished, staying in the small kitchen all the time to tinker, adjusting the dosage of medicinal materials, and staring at the heat of boiling medicine, so they were not busy.
The medicinal materials collected by Wen Yiheng are full of medicinal properties, and the medicinal fragrance after boiling is much richer than before, and it is also much more bitter, and it takes a long time to coax the young Su Tingan to drink the medicine. Ah Rong is well-behaved, and she drinks obediently without being coaxed.
Su Tingan and Ah Rong drank medicine on time every day, and their condition improved day by day as expected. After eight or nine days, Su Ting was well, and Ah Rong was seriously ill, and it took half a month to get better intermittently.
Wen Yiheng still needs to go out for a few hours every day, and Su Jiudong still doesn't ask him what he is doing when he goes out, and the two of them just know it.
"Daddy, Daddy! Wait, An'er! Su Ting'an was so good that he was thinking about when Wen Yiheng would come back every day. After Wen Yiheng came back, Su Ting'an followed Wen Yiheng as a follower, Wen Yiheng went wherever he went, and even Su Jiudong, his mother-in-law, was "snubbed" by Su Ting'an.
