Chapter 17: Not Recovered
Daddy Song is honest, Aunt Song is honest, and she works hard every day to provide for the family's expenses, and Aunt Song sees that they are easy to bully, so she becomes more and more aggressive, and asks Daddy Song to take good things to support her family every day. Father Song worked hard to raise his nephews and nieces, and no matter how poor and hard he was, he sent them to school, hoping that they would have a good future.
When the eldest nephew grows up, he works as a housekeeper outside the staff, and he also has a little silver every month, so it is not a problem to support himself. The eldest niece married a butcher in a neighboring village under the arrangement of Aunt Song, and the butcher's family background was not rich, but he also had some skills, and his life was quite nourishing, and even Aunt Song was stained.
When the four nephews were finally brought up, Daddy Song thought that the hardships were all over the place, and if those children had a conscience, they could at least occasionally come to see him, but who knew that Aunt Song suddenly turned her face and instigated the children not to associate with Daddy Song's family from now on, and the two families fell out.
has been raised for more than ten years, only the eldest niece often comes to see the second uncle who raised her, and secretly takes some pork from her husband's house to let the family taste some meat, and the other three are white-eyed wolves.
Unexpectedly, before this page was turned, they actually came to snatch Gu Liuxi's dowry again, and Father Song was so angry that he immediately took the two brothers of the Li family to discuss the law.
But Song Yu felt that eighty percent of the dowry could not be recovered.
After all, it was this kind of thing that happened in his own family, and Song Yu felt that he was simply shameless to face Gu Liuxi, and he didn't even have the courage to look at her.
"Okay, don't put on that face, I can't blame you for this." Gu Liuxi stood on tiptoe and patted Song Yu's head, "Of course, it is best to recover the dowry, if you don't recover it, you can't let them go easily, you are too used to these people, they will only restrain if you have a tough attitude, and the more you retreat, the more she will intensify." ”
Song Yu nodded, his eyes gentle.
Earlier, Gu Liuxi went back to the bedroom to see that the jewelry was still in the dresser, it is estimated that Aunt Song and her two sons saw that the box containing the dowry was full, and thought that all the valuable things were in it, so they didn't search for other places when they were happy, and left directly with the box.
Gu Liuxi was extremely happy, if she hadn't been prescient, she would really be miserable by Aunt Song's family this time.
Later, Father Song came back with Li An and Li Mu dejected.
Aunt Song was busy wiping her hands on her apron and greeted her, "Old man, how is it?" ”
Father Song sighed, saw Gu Liuxi also come out of the house, and knelt down towards her without saying a word.
it!
Gu Liuxi had 10,000 grass and mud horses flying by in his heart.
"Dad, what are you doing, get up quickly!" She hurriedly went to pull Daddy Song, but she didn't expect Aunt Song to kneel down with her, so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, "Dad, mother, there is nothing valuable in that box, I also took out the practical ones, and put the jewelry and everything in my own room, at most some clothes and pillows or something, if you are robbed, you can rob it, it's okay." ”
Father Song's lips curled and he couldn't speak.
They thought that marrying would be a big trouble, but they didn't expect that it had only been two days since they entered the door, and their own family had caused trouble to others, and it was a completely unreasonable thing like grabbing the dowry, so how could they be embarrassed to face Gu Liuxi in the future?
The two brothers of the Li family were also standing next to them, and Li Mu said indignantly: "Aunt Song is so inhuman, after snatching the dowry, she even carried the box to the pawnshop in the town, and after we caught up, she refused to pay back the silver, and made a lot of noise that this was owed to them by my uncle, I almost couldn't help but go up and kick her twice!" ”
Li An shouted loudly, "We quarreled at the time, and she actually had the face to say that she took the dowry for our good, lest my cousin take the dowry outside to raise a little white face and ......give it to her cousin in the future."
"Enough!" Father Song let out a low snort, and Li An realized that he had said the wrong thing when he came back to his senses, and he didn't dare to come out of his breath.
Gu Liuxi smiled helplessly, and then pulled the two old men up.
"Dad, mother, it doesn't matter if the dowry can't be recovered, there is really nothing valuable in it, but if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must just forget it, Aunt Song must teach her a lesson, lest she always have another incident."
Father Song nodded, the family dared to take advantage of the absence of the man in the family to come directly to the door to grab the dowry, it is really hard to say what they can do in the future, if they don't strangle this behavior in the cradle, Aunt Song will never stop there.
Gu Liuxi smiled and took the hands of the two, "I don't blame you for this, so don't take it to heart, who would have expected this kind of thing, right?" At least my mother was not injured, which is a blessing in misfortune. ”
Aunt Song wiped her tears, nodded with a wry smile, and Father Song and the Li brothers were also relieved.
Not to mention that it is the rumored Gu Liuxi, who is the new daughter-in-law of an ordinary family, and the dowry was robbed as soon as she entered the door, can this matter be settled quickly? Not to mention Gu Liuxi, even when they think about it themselves, they really find it unbearable.
But Gu Liuxi not only didn't get angry, but comforted them intimately, which was so surprising that people couldn't close their mouths.
In any case, they remembered this feeling.
Song Yu had been standing inside the house watching everything that was happening outside, although he had known that Gu Liuxi was not as unbearable as rumored outside, but when she showed such a gentle and considerate side, he was also very grateful.
What kind of girl did he marry, beautiful and understanding, how did he deserve her?
Song Yu touched the scar on his face, and a sigh drifted away with the wind.
Early the next morning, it was rare that the Song family did not go fishing, but helped Aunt Song clean up the house. Yesterday, Aunt Song and them made a fuss, and the house was a mess, and it needed to be sorted out again.
Gu Liuxi helped put away the dried whitebait and asked, "Mother, can we eat all these dried fish ourselves?" ”
"Yes, that's all you can eat in winter, and you have to prepare fish and meat early." Aunt Song said, "This kind of dried fish is not hard to sell, although it is a pity, but only our own family eats it." ”
Most of the people in Sanli Village live by fishing and hunting, relying on the mountains and water to eat, the crops are planted very little, and the rice and wheat are sold to the city every year.
And Father Song went out to make a living in the early years, Aunt Song pulled a few children by a woman, and was bullied, and the family's fields had already been occupied by the people in the village, and there was no solution after looking for the village chief many times, so he finally had to give up planting crops. In the past, when the children were young, Aunt Song would wash clothes in the big families in the town to earn money in her spare time in winter, and then take insoles to sew clothes at night, so her hands were full of chilblains, and her eyes gradually disappeared.
Later, when the children grew up, she no longer had to exhaust her efforts to make money to support her family, and Father Song and others did not allow her to do it, so she was able to raise her body a little.
