Chapter 180: Each Has His Words
Dong Si rushed back from the field sweating profusely, and saw his wife and daughter-in-law standing outside the door with embarrassed faces, so he complained in a low voice, "Why don't you go in, forget what Pucao usually treats our family?" ”
Dong's fourth daughter-in-law muttered in a low voice, "But today's incident is not a good thing with a long face." ”
Dong Si's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "When there is something good, go up, and hide when you encounter difficulties, your heart and eyes will make you grow." ”
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Mrs. Dong pondered for a long time, but in the end she still felt that she couldn't be a man without conscience, she waved her hand to interrupt her son and daughter-in-law's quarrel, and said, "That's it, let's go in too, at this time, we should think more about Pucao's daily life." ”
As she spoke, the old lady took the lead and walked in, and Dong Si and his wife naturally hurried to follow. Dong Er and Dong San are both filial mothers, and they see that their younger brother is friendly with the Zhang family on weekdays and has gained countless benefits, so they look at each other and squeeze in together.
I don't know if the Dong family brought a good leader, or the villagers finally found out in their conscience, and three or four little daughters-in-law went to Pucao's side one after another. They didn't say much, just patted Pucao and smiled, indicating their willingness to protect each other unconditionally.
After a while, Li Zheng and several clan elders finally arrived, and their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. The peasant family struggled with food and clothing year after year, and many times they were not very strict with the etiquette that they could not eat and use. Even in the busy farming season, it is common to see old men with bare shoulders and hoes, and big girls and little daughters-in-law joke about it, and no one says any gossip.
However, those are trivial matters, and the descendants who ran to report the news today shouted the word "adultery", but they were scared a lot. This is definitely a scandal that has not been seen in Nangou Village for many years, and if it spreads, the marriage of the daughters in the whole village will be affected.
"What the hell is going on? Whoever hurry up and talk about it! Li Zheng was the first to ask loudly, Kong Wuye was also anxious, and then responded, "Yes, what's going on?" Whose shameless thing committed adultery? Isn't this a smear to Nangou Village? ”
The old man had just slept soundly, and when he was suddenly woken up, he only heard the word "adultery" and ran out with his shoes on, not caring to listen to the person who told the news. Therefore, when he shouted loudly at this time, it made everyone's faces even more strange.
Pu Cao stretched out her hand to separate Aunt Chen, Chunni and the others who were blocking her and Fang Jie, and immediately saluted Li Zheng and several clan elders, and then said, "Uncle Li Zheng and the elders, today's matter is really difficult to explain. Since it is the peony girl who is so frightened that the village is not at peace, it is better to let her tell everyone first. ”
"Peony girl?" Li Zheng frowned and looked behind him suspiciously, and sure enough, he saw that the peony master and servant were not from the village. He asked with a cold face, "This girl, you were shouting all over the village just now?" Let's talk about what the hell is going on. ”
Peony glanced at Pucao, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and her heart became more and more uneasy. But now that she is ready to send it, she naturally can't help but hesitate. She raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and waited until the tears fell again, then she bowed respectfully, and said sadly, "The slave peony has given Li Zheng and the villagers a salute, and it is really a last resort to disturb you today." Originally, the slave family lived in Cuiluan City, and these days because of the bullies' forced relatives, there is really nowhere to stay. The day before yesterday, I occasionally heard that Fang Gongzi lived here, and the slave family thought that the two of us also had some friendship at the beginning, so they rushed to ask for help.
Don't want to... "Woo," she seemed so sad and frightened that she choked up and couldn't continue. There was the old man who was fascinated by her beauty, and he said, "Don't be afraid, girl, if you have grievances, just say... Oops! ”
The man was pinched by his daughter-in-law, who had knocked over the vinegar bucket, on his waist in the middle of speaking, and screamed in pain. Everyone saw that he was not courteous and hit his daughter-in-law's muzzle, and they all gloated and laughed.
Peony secretly hated in her heart, she originally wanted to arouse everyone's sympathy, but she didn't expect it to have the opposite effect, she didn't dare to delay any longer, wiped her tears and said, "When the slave family arrived here, Fang Gongzi happened to be absent, and the slave family waited in the yard with the maid. I didn't want to see Fang Gongzi and that sister-in-law hugging each other just after noon, and came in from the back garden with a smile, very affectionate. The sister-in-law was very panicked when she saw that we had broken it, so she urged Fang Gongzi to call for someone to tie us up and kill us. Our master and servant rushed out desperately and shouted, but fortunately, the eldest brothers came in time, which saved the lives of the slaves. ”
As she said this, she bowed down and thanked the men who had arrived earlier, who hurriedly waved their hands and responded, "The girl is polite, everything should be, it should be." ”
Peony wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and sighed as if in despair, "At the beginning, Fang Gongzi was also very good to the slave family, even if the slave family is in trouble now, he will not harm the slave family if he doesn't reach out to help." It was the sister-in-law who was afraid that the slave family would expose her for not abiding by women's morals, so she decided to kill me. The life of a slave is as thin as paper, and it is not a pity to die. But if the villagers are kept in the dark and allow such a slut to make trouble behind their backs, there may be many more scandalous things. In the future, the whole village is afraid that it will be abused and criticized, so the slave family desperately asks the elders to uphold justice. ”
She said that she tried her best to pick Fang Jie out, and faintly mentioned the past of the two of them, secretly hoping that Fang Jie would be grateful for her protection, and when the grass was removed, she would always have a way to entangle Fang Jie to change her mind.
It's a pity that Fang Jie can't wait to eat her raw at this time. According to his intentions, he desperately wants to carry all the notoriety on his back, as long as Pucao is fine. But Peony's words almost pushed Pucao to a dead end, how could he not hate it?
Li Zheng and several old men all had bad faces, although they knew that the little sister-in-law in Peony's mouth was Pucao, but they still asked, "Girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." It's a matter of a woman's name, and you can be sure that the woman is..."
Without waiting for Li Zheng to finish asking, the little maid on the side couldn't be angry, she opened her mouth and shouted, "This Li Zheng, what do you mean by asking, don't you believe our girl's words?" Do we like to be hunted down and killed? Or do you Nangou Village want to shield this adulterer and adulteress. ”
Li Zheng's face was pale, and he wanted to scold a few words but was a little lacking in confidence. Chun Ni didn't care about these over there, she rushed over with a kitchen knife and scolded, "I'll kill you, a dead girl with a lot of feces on your mouth, you are the adulterer and adulteress, our Pucao is so kind that even an ant is reluctant to step on it, how can we hunt you down?" Even if I really want to kill you, you should kill you! ”
The little maid saw that the bright kitchen knife was about to be waved in front of her, so frightened that "Mom" ran behind Li Zheng and the others, Li Zheng was also afraid that she would become the innocent pond fish, so she hurriedly scolded, "Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, stop it, haven't you asked this clearly?" ”
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Chen also ran over to pull Chunnier, and finally snatched the kitchen knife away. Li Zheng secretly let out a sigh of relief, and glanced at each other with a few old men, and Kong Wuye said, "Pucao, to be honest, everyone knows what your conduct is. But today, this girl said this, for the sake of the village and for your own name, you can also say a few words. Don't worry, if there is no such thing, no one will think about wronging you! ”
The old man's words were obviously a little helpful, and Pu Cao felt warm in his heart when he heard it. She saluted the old man again, and then said in a loud voice, "Thank you Li Zheng and the elders for being willing to give me the opportunity to argue, this matter is really unreasonable to say today." I woke up early and walked around the vegetable shed, and it was a pity to see that the vegetable shed was deserted. So I took a basket and went to Beishan, first to find out if there was anything suitable for planting. If it is done, it will be able to add a financial way to the villagers.
I didn't want to make the mountain road difficult, so I accidentally twisted my ankle, and finally insisted on walking back to the bottom of the mountain and couldn't move. I didn't have bibimbap, so I shouted for help, and I happened to be heard by Fang Gongzi, so he carried me back to take medicine.
This peony girl may be the other party's son, and she is angry when she sees Fang Gongzi taking care of me. She said that she couldn't survive in the flower building in the city, and asked Fang Gongzi to accept her into the mansion as a concubine.
Fang Gongzi was unwilling, so she threatened to publicize that the two of us had an adulterous relationship. Fang Gongzi was afraid that it would cause me to clear my name, so he wanted to tie them up and discuss countermeasures, but the two of them took the opportunity to run to the street and shout. This alarmed the elders and villagers, it was all my fault, I really shouldn't have gone up the mountain, and I shouldn't have called for help. ”
"No, Zhang Dongjia is serious, it's all my fault." Fang Jie also said with a look of regret, "When business was not going well, I often went to the flower building to drink to relieve my boredom. Who knew that she was so greedy and vicious, and she was thinking hard about wanting to enter our family to enjoy wealth and nobility, so she made such false accusations. But I caused Zhang Dongjia to suffer this unwarranted disaster. ”
The two of them apologized to each other like this, and their faces were sincere and frightened, and everyone in the village was relieved.
Kong Wuye laughed and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, everyone lives in the same village, and when they encounter difficulties, how can they not help." Although Fang Gongzi acted a little improper, he was always kind. Not to mention Pucao, this day and night is worried about finding a way to make money for each family, otherwise he would not have suffered this injury. Guys say, isn't it? ”
Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement, "That's it, that's it." Pucao is the most hearted, and he is busy for everyone every day. If it is said that others are indecent, Pucao will never be. ”
"That's right, Fang Gongzi is also a righteous gentleman..."
When the little maid heard that everyone was almost one-sided and eccentric Pu Cao and Fang Jie, her face turned red with anger, and she jumped to her feet and pointed at them and shouted, "They are lying, obviously they have adultery." Fang Gongzi carried her in, and took off her shoes and socks and applied ointment. Which good woman casually lets a man touch the instep, she just doesn't know the shame, she should be soaked in a pig cage, stripped naked and paraded on the street! ”
"Shut up!" Chen's second sister-in-law was the closest to the little maid, and when she heard this, she raised her hand and gave her two slaps, "You two dirty goods from the kiln, maybe you have an affair with many men." What qualifications do you have to climb the grass here, our Nangou Village is a serious place, and letting the two of you in will dirty our street.
Pu Cao and Fang Gongzi walk around and act on weekdays, and they are all under everyone's noses, if there is something wrong, how can the people in our village not see it, and it is your turn to come here to point fingers? ”
