Chapter 30: The Trouble
As soon as Xiao Yang rushed in, he pointed at Xia and scolded, "Why is your heart so hard, you lack morality and bad conscience, you are shameless, you would rather be cheap than the wild men outside, why don't you help your brothers and nephews...... No wonder even your mother-in-law's family doesn't want you, they just see that you are a fox who only needs a wild man......"
Today, it was the turn of Li's mother and daughter to go to the ground, and Xiao Yang took the three pennies given by Mrs. Xia to buy tofu in Shiban Village, and happened to hear the discussion of several village women, saying that Xia had agreed to Li Darang's courtship.
How can this work?
If the Xia family marries Li Darang, then her family's yard and well, as well as the five taels of silver that just arrived that day, will belong to someone else's family, and Xia's benefits will not be taken by her own family in the future. The Xia family is the daughter of the Xia family, and she has no in-laws and sons, so the benefits of her family can only be taken by her mother's family...... The more Xiao Yang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt very aggrieved and unwilling, so he rushed here to scold people.
She scolded and pulled Xia, who was so angry that she cried and couldn't speak at all.
Xia Li was angry, ran over and first pinched Xiao Yang's back, elbowed, and kicked her calf, Xiao Yang fell to the ground in pain.
This is terrible, Xiao Yang sat on the ground and cried louder, "It's terrible, it's terrible, come and see, Xia is beating her elders...... Before he entered the door of the wild man, he began to deny his mother's family...... I'm dead, woo woo...... You shameless advocate woman, indulge in your daughter beating your uncle......"
Xia Li was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat her again, but he saw a group of people rushing in.
Xia Shi also sat on the ground and cried, "I know that you have always wanted to stuff your son into the door and seize my family's property, but you can't tarnish my reputation like this...... I helped my mother's family with so much silver, leaving only such a small courtyard for our orphans and widows to live in, but you still have to think about the Fa to seek the past...... I'm a widow, I'm so discredited by you, what face do I have to live, we girls are going to die, as you want......"
As he spoke, he got up and pulled Xia Li to rush to the well.
Aunt Hao and a few other women hurriedly came over to stop the Xia family and Xia Li, and Aunt Hao's mother-in-law, Mrs. Hao, scolded Xiao Yang's and said, "I said Tiezi daughter-in-law, you can accumulate some virtue on your mouth, Lan Niang has helped her mother's family enough, and your family is so good now that she helped." It's not easy for them to be orphans and widows, and you still have to worry about such a small courtyard, your heart is too wolf, and you're not afraid of retribution......"
Xiao Yang also said stiffly, "Don't be coaxed by the two of them, Xia Lanniang is going to marry Li Darang, she has no conscience, then Li Darang almost drowned the girl, but she would rather be cheap than pull Li Darang's brothers and nephews." Also, she knocked me to the ground with a girl......"
The yellow widow also came, and she chirped, "You coax the ghost, you can still knock you down from such a weak little body ...... girl."
Xia Li was rubbed back and forth, already on the verge of rage. She really wanted to go over and tear Xiao Yang's mouth and slap her head again, but now she can only cover her face with her sleeves and pretend to cry, and she has done enough tricks. She must not fight Xiao Yang, who is an elder, in front of everyone.
I just heard a loud shout, "Shut your stinky mouth, don't scold my sister and the girl again!" ”
It was Xia Zhu, Xia Erhu ran to the meat stall to call him.
Xiao Yang saw that Xia Zhu's eyes were about to fall out, and he was a little scared, and his voice couldn't help but be a little smaller.
At this time, Mrs. Xia also ran over when she heard the wind, and shouted, "What's the matter, whose mouth is so stinky, I want to remarry my Lan Niang......"
When Xiao Yang saw Mrs. Xia coming, she was a little more confident, and cried loudly, "Mother-in-law, my aunt is really going to marry Li Darang, and the matchmaker who He Matchmaker came to talk about just now, others said that the aunt agreed." I came to ask my aunt, and she let the girl beat me, woowoo woo ......"
Mrs. Xia looked at Xia suspiciously, and her face sank even more.
Seeing the old lady like this, Xia was angry for a while. She broke free from everyone's hands again, pulled Xia Li and rushed to the well, crying, "Don't stain my reputation again, our mother and daughter will die, and you can take this yard to ......."
Xia Zhu rushed over and pulled Xia Shi with one hand and Xia Li with the other, and said, "Sister, don't do stupid things, tell me what's going on, my brother won't let you be bullied." ”
He won't stop his sister from remarrying, but he can't let her marry Li Darang.
Xia Li cried, "Just now, Mrs. He came to the matchmaker and said that Li Darang asked to marry my mother, but my mother did not agree and directly refused." I don't know what Mrs. He said when she went out, the second uncle rushed in and beat my mother, and scolded my mother with the most vicious words, saying that my mother didn't give the yard to her mother's family, and didn't help her mother's brothers, and the scolding was so ugly. My mother was embarrassed and angry, so she had to jump into the well, woo woo woo ......"
Xia Li and Xia hugged and cried, the howling of the dog in the backyard became louder, and the people watching the excitement also started to talk.
There are many people who occupy the property of orphans and widows, and many people still think that they should take possession, and the meat is rotten in the pot, so they can't cheapen people with foreign surnames. But it is rare for the mother's family to occupy the property of the married daughter, and force people to jump into the well. What's more, all the people in the village knew that the Xia family was first sold by his mother's family, and after he came back, he gave the Xia family more than forty taels of silver. Such a filial and generous girl is the only one in several nearby villages......
Everyone counted Xiao Yang's one after another.
Xiao Yang was a little confused, she did hear that the Xia family agreed to Li Darang's proposal, so she came here to make a fuss.
Xia Zhu was ashamed and angry, and shouted at Xiao Yang, "Xiao Yang, when Tiezi comes back, I will ask him to give my sister an explanation." The girl of our Xia family can't be bullied like this. He squatted down and hugged his head, and muttered, "Alas, it's me, the eldest brother, who has no interest, and was sold by my sister, and it cost her so much money......"
Mrs. Xia heard that the Xia family did not agree to Li Darang's courtship, and finally put her mind at ease. After listening to Xia Zhu's words, he frowned and said, "The girl who married helps her mother's family, that is because she has filial piety, and she should be." He went over and kicked Xiao Yang twice, spat her, and scolded, "The dead mother-in-law who suffered a thousand knives, she didn't listen to all the words, so she came to scold my daughter and granddaughter." My daughter is virtuous and knowledgeable, from the beginning to the end, how can she remarry. Hmph, if they have three long and two short today, see if the old lady doesn't strangle you......"
Xia Li saw that the old lady was avoiding the important and trivial, and wanted to use Xiao Yang's misheard words to suppress her vain attempt to forcibly occupy the eldest sister's property. How is it possible, this public opinion must be created.
She said sadly to Mrs. Xia, "Grandma, there is only such a small courtyard left in our house, if it is really taken away by the second uncle and given to the third leopard, my mother and I will really have only one way to die." The Three Leopards have said more than once that he will come to inherit my family's property in the future, and his mother wants him to kick us out......"
