Chapter Twenty-Four: Wound on Wound

On the way home, Mai Xiaofang briefly told the story of several people fighting. I heard that someone came to the door to fight, the little girl was injured, Shan Cuihua quit, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to come to the first strike to be strong, and go to the eldest brother's house to seek justice.

Mai Wang was also angry and felt sorry for the child, but what could he do if he went to find it, in addition to letting outsiders see the jokes, could he still expect his sister-in-law to apologize.

They want to calm things down, how can the Wu family be willing! She not only brought her two daughters to the door, but also helped her mother-in-law to come, and she had a posture of not giving an explanation, not severely punishing Mai Xiaofang, and never giving up.

Shan Cuihua sent all the men away, Mai Yonghai walked for a while and ran back by himself, he really didn't worry about his mother and sisters. The eldest lady is a shrew again, she is not reasonable at all, he thinks that if he can't do it, he will go to find the village chief, no matter how he says that his cousin and they come to make trouble and beat people, it is not right to be held responsible, and he can't just find Xiaofang's stubble.

The house is valuable, and the things that I am afraid of touching are locked in the house by the three mothers, and the back of the cowshed is also blocked, so I can't see what is inside from the outside.

The mother sat on the bench outside eating the pot and waiting for Wu, "bang", the heavy wooden door was pushed open by Wu's son ordered by the son, she wanted to smash the door, think about it or explain it first, and it is not too late to talk about the compensation.

"Sister-in-law and Xiaoling are really two mothers, they are addicted to fighting! It's not enough to come once, and the second time, you still don't make sense. ”

Wu wanted to talk about this, she pushed Mai Xiaoling, whose cheeks were red and swollen and her chin was injured, forward and said: "Look at the current appearance of my Xiaoling, we are cultivated according to the way of marrying a rich man and being a lady, can you afford this loss?" ”

I can't afford to lose, and if I want to marry a rich man when I don't break my appearance, I might be able to negotiate with someone for five hundred taels of silver, now? Without five hundred and fifty taels, it is estimated that it will not be able to be negotiated.

Mai Xiaohuan didn't need her mother to stretch out her hand, she stood up by herself, she took off the cloth on her head, and the blue and purple bag was exposed in front of everyone, and the injury didn't look lighter than Mai Xiaoling's at all.

"That'...... Your Xiaohuan only has an injured forehead, and our Xiaoling's face and chin are injured, not to mention, her hair has been torn off a lot, and your family must compensate. ”

Shan Cuihua laughed twice, as if she had seen something ridiculous, and sneered: "Since you are unreasonable, let's talk to the village chief and see how I should compensate, whether it is to compensate you for making trouble, or to compensate your eleven-year-old Xiaoling for beating eight-year-old Xiaohuan, but was taught a lesson by ten-year-old Xiaofang." ”

If it is a parent who knows right from wrong, he will definitely shut up or say a few soft words at this time, after all, what Shan Cuihua said is right. It's a pity that Wu can't be inferred according to common sense, the first thing she sees in her eyes is always her own gains and losses, and what others are like has nothing to do with her. If the other party is a rich or useful person, she will definitely back down, it is ordinary people who want to reason with her, but there is no door.

Wu refused to let Shan Cuihua go to the village chief, she shouted: "Mother! Mai Liu had to speak, between Sister Mai Xiaoling and Sister Mai Xiaohuan, of course her heart was biased towards the former. This is not only because of the deep relationship between living together, but also because Mai Xiaofang has never known how to flatter her grandmother; Mai Xiaohuan is too good at saying that his respect for himself is only superficial.

To put it bluntly, in front of these two granddaughters, Mai Liu felt that he was not respected enough, and they were two unfilial granddaughters.

"No matter how you say it, Xiaofang is wrong, how important the girl's face is, you should pay for the medical expenses."

I have long known that my mother-in-law is biased, but I didn't expect it to be biased to this extent, could it be that her old man can only see the injury on her eldest granddaughter's face, but she can't see the big bag on Xiao Huan's forehead.

Mai Xiaofang dropped the pot in her hand, stood in front of her grandmother, stared straight into her eyes and asked, "You only saw that Mai Xiaoling had a wound on her face, so you should not be able to see Xiaohuan, right?" I tell you, first, she came to the door; Second, it was her hand that made the first move, so my family will not pay for a copper plate. And I also told you that if she dares to come to find trouble again and bully Xiao Huan, I will beat her once I see it. An eleven-year-old girl was beaten by a ten-year-old girl, and she was embarrassed to come to look for her, and she was not ashamed. ”

Mai Liu felt that his authority was being flouted again, and in a fit of anger, he raised his crutches and turned on Mai Xiaofang's head. Mai Xiaofang didn't expect Liu to make a move, but Mai Xiaohuan ran over and grabbed her arm and dragged her back a few steps, and the crutches fell off and hit Mai Xiaohuan's shoulder.

"Xiao Huan." Shan Cuihua and Mai Xiaofang shouted together.

The crutches were made of solid wood, and Mai Liu's was in her fifties, and she was not an old lady in her seventies and eighties, so it was not difficult to imagine how heavy the beating should have been, and Mai Xiaohuan's tears fell at that time.

Mai Xiaofang asked Liu with red eyes: "You are Mai Xiaoling's grandmother, aren't Xiaohuan and I your granddaughter?" I will never forget what happened today for the rest of my life, and I hope you will not regret it. ”

Shan Cuihua stood up and smiled sadly, and said lightly: "Our family will not be less than the gifts that should be given in the New Year's Festival in the future, and we will give you the same pension as the third family, and I will take as much as they take." I don't want to mention today's matter anymore, but there is one thing, if someone bullies me, I will still let Xiaofang do it, it's a big deal to kill me and go to jail, Yonghai, you go to set up a car, Xiaofang helps your sister Let's go to see the doctor. ”

Mai Liu and Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood in the courtyard awkwardly, and Mai Yonghai set up the ox cart. Mai Liu knew that this was the case today, but she refused to let go of the fat of her second son's family, and every year their family gave the most things. The eldest daughter-in-law is a dime inextricable, and the third daughter-in-law can hide if she can, only the second family does not forget to send some game to themselves when they go hunting in the mountains.

At this moment, she regretted that she was too impulsive just now, but it was impossible for her to agree to Shan Cuihua's conditions: "How can the third family compare with you, your conditions are good, so you should share more." ”

"That's it, that's it." Wu was busy talking, she still wanted to follow some light!

Shan Cuihua just didn't hear their words, picked up Mai Xiaohuan, who was sweating in pain, into the car, and stood at the door waiting for them to come out to lock the door.

As the gate "clicked" and locked, Shan Cuihua also jumped into the ox cart, and she carefully hugged Mai Xiaohuan and told her son to hurry up.

"Wait, wait, the injury on our Xiaoling's face was beaten by Xiaofang, you have to take her into the county seat to have a look." After that, Wu pushed Mai Xiaoling into the car.

Mai Yonghai raised his whip and whipped the cow at the moment when their mother and daughter raised their feet and were about to get into the car, and saw the old cow rushing forward, Wu was flashed, and Mai Xiaoling also rushed forward in embarrassment, this time not only had injuries on his face, but also scratched the skin on his palms.

In the past, Shan Cuihua was no longer satisfied, and she had never faced Mai Liu's cold face, but today she was really angry, and at the same time she was secretly ruthless in her heart, if her husband still blindly protected her mother-in-law, she would reconcile with him, and then move out with her daughter.

The doctor in the medical hall was shocked when he saw the redness and swelling on Mai Xiaohuan's shoulder, what a hatred this is! Able to get such a heavy hand. The doctor ordered someone to boil the medicinal juice and planned to let Shan Cuihua apply it to Mai Xiaohuan on the wound after it was cold, and Mai Yonghai bought food on the street, and coincidentally met Mai Xiaoyuan who was shopping.

Mai Xiaoyuan just walked into the tea shop across the street and wanted to rest, the maid next to him saw Mai Yonghai with sharp eyes, since he met Mai Xiaoyuan, of course he had to call someone to ask how this younger brother went to the county seat when it was the autumn harvest.

"Xiao Huan was injured, and he was in the medical hall next to him."

If you can't look down on it, it's also your own sister, not to mention that her husband has such a mind, so that she can try to ease the relationship with this sister and stop laughing at her. Although she felt that her husband was looking away from people this time, she didn't say it clearly, and she couldn't ask for it for multiple excuses to send things home! As for whether you can count on this sister in the end, it will be several years later.

Seeing that this younger brother wanted to speak and stopped, Mai Xiaoyuan guessed that there was a commotion at home again, and when she entered the hospital, Mai Xiaohuan had already fallen asleep after drinking the medicine. I haven't seen her for half a year, this girl seems, seems to have grown a little, her face is better, and her chin is not so pointed, is there something wrong with her vision?

"How did you come across it?"

Shan Cuihua wiped the sweat on Mai Xiaohuan's face with a handkerchief, asked Mai Xiaofang to stay with her sister, and took her eldest daughter to the front living room to talk.

The doctor didn't know the Mai family, but he knew Mai Xiaoyuan, who was the wife of a rich man, but he really didn't expect to be the daughter of this Zhuang family. I have been in the county for so long, and I didn't expect to have clumsy times, but the three girls in their family really don't look like their mothers, and they don't look like country children.

Needless to say, the boss knows from a distance that he is a lady from a rich family; Although the second child is a little darker, his pretty appearance and the crispness of his body are not comparable to ordinary children; The youngest has delicate facial features, and if she was born in the county seat or grew up in Qingcheng County, she must be a well-known beauty. It's a pity that this small appearance and small body may not be popular in the countryside, no wonder the old people in the family don't look down on it, don't beat others, just hit her.

After listening to Shan Cuihua's description, Mai Xiaoyuan was also furious, and when did he go home and send less clothes and snacks to his grandmother. She still looks down on her mother's family so much, since she doesn't have to spend money and effort in the future, she will go home and send people away, and everything else will be free.

Mai Xiaoyuan helped settle the medicine bill, and secretly stuffed Shan Cui to spend ten taels of silver to walk out of the hospital, she went home to clean up, and asked where the maid had gone?

The maid timidly replied, "In Aunt Xiang's room." ”

"Humph!" In broad daylight, this pair of dogs and men are not ashamed, Mai Xiaoyuan pretended to be jealous and pulled the veil, in fact, she knew in her heart that Dou Liangfu was not jealous of anyone, but there would be a little joy in her heart, Mai Xiaoyuan knew very well that she didn't love him as a person, she just liked his family's money and enjoyed the vanity he brought to her.
