Chapter 20: Honor and Disgrace
What Gu Baoying said, the truth is not difficult to understand.
"The Xu family was bullied today, but this is not her family's business, but the people of Qinghe Village bullied us as a group of helpless homeless people." Aunt Liu remembered that Zhao Jiangpo relied on her identity, and opened her mouth to slander her for embezzling the bride price and silver of Lao Zheng Tou.
Everyone was enlightened and came to their senses.
In this Qinghe Village, people like Zhao Jiangpo and Lao Zheng Tou all have relatives and friends to support each other, but they are just a group of outsiders, they have no land and no land, and they don't even have their own houses.
If you don't take advantage of the time to unite and be bullied one by one, then what good fruit will you have left?
For example, today, the Yang family was slept with by Lao Zheng Tou, but Lao Zheng Tou didn't recognize her.
She is a woman, her reputation is broken, and she can't get any benefits.
The Xu family is even more uncomfortable, a blind man with a daughter, if it weren't for her daughter's mouth to speak well and seek justice for her, wouldn't she fall into the hands of the evil old man Zheng Tou?
The Yang family and the Xu family were the first women to suffer, and the next one may be their turn.
This is what Gu Baoying said, sharing honor and disgrace.
At this moment, a twelve or thirteen-year-old lady wanted to understand this, so she couldn't laugh anymore, hugged her mother's arm, and said timidly: "Mother, I'm afraid of ......"
She looks good, and it will not be difficult to talk about a decent marriage in the future and live a small life with Meimei.
But if you are bullied by a wicked person like Lao Zhengtou......
Her mother couldn't think about it, so she immediately held her daughter in her arms, thought about it, and said in a cold but resolute tone: "Today's matter can't be left like this!" Li Zheng, Lao Zheng Tou has to give the Xu family another justice! β
"IβI've made it clear!" Lao Zheng Tou was really scared this time, and immediately said with a stalk on his neck.
"Who knows if you're going to talk nonsense behind your back? The people living in this compound are all poor people who are as helpless as my mother......"
Gu Baoying's fluttering words aroused all the women and children all of a sudden.
They immediately made all kinds of accusations from you and me.
"That's right! If you just talk about it, that's not good! People like you can't be convincing at all! β
"That's it, Lizheng, you have to call the shots for us! Don't spread this matter, it's not just the reputation of the Xu family that is bad, the whole of us living here, the white family, that reputation has to be damaged! β
"That's right! Old Zheng Tou, if you don't swear a poisonous oath today, don't want to leave this courtyard! β
Everyone said, pulling Lao Zheng's head to prevent him from leaving, and some of them were in a hurry, so they poked him directly, slapped him by the way, and taught him a good lesson for a while!
All of a sudden, Lao Zheng Tou was like a rat crossing the street, people shouted and beaten, hugged the head of the rat, and it was miserable.
Jiang Zhen looked at this scene, raised his thick eyebrows, and looked at Gu Baoying with a clear expression.
However, the little girl's face was not red or empty, and she didn't have the consciousness of inciting everyone to do things, so she just stood aside and watched the excitement as usual, as if it was not her and the Xu family who were greatly bullied tonight, but this group of women and children.
What a breath of air!
What a ghost!
Jiang Zhen thought so, but he didn't break it.
"Enough!" He rolled his gaze and stopped everyone in time.
Immediately, he looked at the miserable old Zheng Tou, and said awe-inspiringly, "I'll make a note, you press the handprint with Zhao Jiangpo, no matter what happened to the Xu family or the Yang family tonight, you will rot me to the stomach, if anyone dares to spread a word, one person will lose one hundred taels of silver!" β
"Why? What does this have to do with me! Zhao Saucepo's face immediately changed, and her tone was very fierce.
"Whether it has anything to do with it or not, you and the Yang family know it in their hearts."
Jiang Zhen smiled coldly, he was not afraid of offending her at all, so he simply said to death, "If you don't agree, it's okay, but if you really want to work hard to investigate a case like embezzling bride price silver, are you afraid that you won't be able to find out?" No matter how bad it is, let Baoying prepare the medicine that was going to be used for Lao Zheng Tou before, and I'm afraid that you won't tell the truth? When the time comes, do you think you, a second-class official media, can continue to be a party? β
"IβShall I just promise? Jiangzhen, everyone has been a villager for more than ten years, you can't be too disrespectful, right? When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she was scared and softened her tone.
"As a righteous person, I do things on a principle, fairly." Jiangzhen is a serious way.
Then, he asked people to find pen and ink, and he wrote here.
Lao Zheng Tou and Zhao Jiangpo glanced at each other hatefully, swore a poisonous oath with an aggrieved face, and pressed their handprints.
As for this group of women and children, they have a deep understanding of what it means to be both prosperous and lossy, and no one will say a word about tonight's events.
Otherwise, the damage to Xu's name is small, and it is a big matter if he is involved, and if it affects the marriage of his children, it will be a sin.
Gu Baoying watched everyone go back to their respective homes, and Lao Zheng Tou and Zhao Jiangpo also left in a gloomy manner, and finally let go of their hearts after a night's rest.
Although I lost five taels of silver tonight, I finally let out a bad breath!
Yang's courtyard was suddenly clean.
"Baoying, my marriage to Lao Zheng Tou...... This is what Li Zheng decides, you and your mother, don't be unconvinced, and find me trouble afterwards! Seeing that Gu Baoying was also leaving, Yang hurriedly took a step forward and said with a complicated mood.
This was originally something she had been looking forward to for many days, but today it was finally decided.
What she once wanted to see most was the pain of Xu being robbed of this marriage by her.
However, now, when the goal has been achieved, she does not feel happy at all, but has an indescribable awkwardness.
After all, this marriage, not only is Baoying not rare at all, but even as if it was some dirty thing, she was disgusted and avoided, this fell on her head, where is there a little bit of expected joy?
So, she wanted to stimulate Bao Ying and remind the other party how rare this marriage is......
"Auntie, congratulations on finally getting what you wanted, I hope you will never regret it!" However, Gu Baoying just glanced at her with pity, and without waiting for her to say anything unpleasant, she turned to look at Jiang Zhen, "Uncle, let's go!" I'm worried that my mother is waiting at home! β
"Hmm." Jiang Zhen nodded, and no longer made any comments on this matter, and he didn't look at the Yang family, and the two figures, one big and one small, quickly disappeared in the night.
"Little!" Yang was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth behind him, and scolded with hatred.
"Mother...... Bao Ying, why is she ...... Live again? Is she still human? On the side, Gu Xinru was not happy at all.
As long as she thought that she pushed Gu Baoying into the trap with her own hands, but the other party appeared alive in front of her, she was scared and shuddered.
