Chapter 35: Tragedy
As soon as the sun rose, Xiao Qinghan and Fu Yunyan took the steamed air-dried chicken that the old woman had to let them carry.
Fu Yunyan looked at the appearance of the old woman standing at the door, and seemed to remember in a trance that she had left like this at that time, and the old woman was also looking at herself like this.
Fu Yunyan remembered that Chen Village was the farthest village in Pingning County, which used to belong to the boundary of Qingzhou, and the old woman's family died at the hands of the Qingzhou county officials at that time.
At that time, the old woman's son was bedridden for many years, and the old woman's eldest daughter-in-law was a famous beauty since she was a child, and later married the eldest son of the old woman's childhood sweetheart.
At that time, Chen Village was not as barren as it was at this moment, at least it was a man who cultivated and a woman who weaved, and it was full of vitality.
The old woman's husband was also quite capable when he was young, and he saved a huge family business for the Wang family, so the old woman's house was larger than the average family, and the yard was more spacious. As the saying goes, the people are not enemies with the officials, even if the old woman's family has more family business, they can't fight the county officials in Qingzhou at that time.
At that time, the county officials of Qingzhou came here to play, and happened to see the eldest daughter-in-law of the old woman, and were immediately fascinated.
This has confidence, the people below know too well what the county officials of Qingzhou were like at that time, and the county officials are tired of playing, so it is the turn of the little minions below.
As a result, a group of people rushed to the old woman's house like bandits, grabbed the old woman's eldest daughter-in-law, tied them up, and said that they had stolen something from the Qingzhou county magistrate and wanted to arrest and interrogate them.
How could the old woman not know the character of her eldest daughter-in-law, watching the eldest daughter-in-law keep shaking her head, but a rag was blocked in her mouth.
The old woman's maiden niece was also a guest at the old woman's house, but she followed the old woman's second daughter-in-law to embroider flowers in the house.
Looking at the second daughter-in-law of the old woman, she also felt that she was in good shape, waved her hand, and said arrogantly and unreasonably, "I see that your little daughter-in-law is also the one who stole our adults' things." "
Then he pointed to the niece of the old woman next to him and said, "This little girl is good-looking, and there is no one around us to serve now, so let her serve her for a few days, and then send her back." "
The old woman's men and her eldest son and second son were all harvesting crops in the fields, and the old woman and children were left to plead and swear on their knees.
Those jackals, tigers and leopards have captured all three of them.
When the old woman's husband and sons returned, they saw the old woman kneeling on the ground and crying loudly, and the house was in shambles.
The sons of the old woman have always been filial, and when they saw the old woman on the ground, they quickly helped the old woman up, and asked anxiously, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" "
The old woman sighed back, pointed to the door and said, "Go, go, the county magistrate in Qingzhou asked people to arrest your daughter-in-law and Yan Yatou, saying that they stole the things of the county official, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law, where will they be." "
When the eldest and second daughter-in-law heard this, their faces changed instantly, and they never thought that their family would suffer such a catastrophe, but the husband of the old woman could pay attention, let the two sons change clothes with him, and took out a lot of silver from the house, which is almost half of the savings of the Wang family for so many years, and then the father and son changed their clothes, and hurriedly went to the nearest rich family, Qingzhou County Officials will definitely not stay in ordinary people's homes.
When they arrived at the door of the rich man, the father and son begged again and again, and the little man at the door seemed to look at people with his nose, so he agreed to go in and have a look.
Who knew that not long after the little girl went, he walked out with a hippie smile on his face, and said to the old woman's husband, father and son, "If you are interested, go home quickly, the girl in the family is favored by us adults, which is a blessing for your eight lifetimes." "
The old woman's husband only felt a thunderbolt on his head, and this was what he was worried about when he came, and it had come to this point?
After the little girl finished speaking, she looked at the old woman's husband, father and son, who were still standing at the door, and suddenly lost her anger, "Don't get out of here, get out." "
The little girl thought of the way she went in just now and saw the struggling under the adult, and she only felt an itchy throat.
The eldest son of the old woman suddenly had red eyes, how could he sit back and watch his mother-in-law being bullied.
The eldest son of the old woman picked up his arm and rushed in, with his brute strength, he did not suffer a loss, the second son saw that the eldest had gone crazy, so he didn't hold back, and then started to move, the old woman's husband, seeing that the two sons had already entered it, wanted to pull the son back, and went home to think about it in the long run.
Before the eldest son of the old woman reached the inner courtyard, he saw his wife, who had been killed by a scourge in an official robe, and threw it to his subordinates, and the expressions on the faces of those people were full of malice.
The old woman's husband, father and son, couldn't get close to those people in the end, so they were beaten half to death by the thugs raised by the rich family and thrown out.
In the evening, the old woman saw that her husband, father and son had not returned, and hurriedly begged the people in the same village to take her to have a look, and when she found the door of the rich family, she saw the three father and son who had been beaten and did not look like men.
Fu Yunyan still remembers that when the old woman said this, she was already in pain, and her eyes were almost blind from crying.
Later, the old woman's neighbor helped the old woman move the father and son back to the house.
When he was almost home, the old woman's eldest son woke up and watched the old woman start to shed tears.
The old woman hurriedly sat down beside her eldest son and wiped her tears for her eldest son with her fingers, "Boss, if there's something, don't cry." "
At this time, the old woman's husband coughed violently, and then he also woke up faintly, and saw his eldest son crying with tears streaming down his face, and also let out a sigh.
The old woman's husband said in a hoarse voice, "Boss, don't cry, it's come to this." "
When the old woman heard her husband say this, she immediately understood that things must be worse than she thought, and the old woman grabbed the boss's hand, "Boss, if you tell the old woman, what happened to you, your daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and the Yan girl?" "
As soon as the old woman asked, her eldest son felt that it was even more powerful, and the old woman's man quickly pulled the old woman and shook his head at the old woman.
When the carriage arrived at the old woman's house, the old woman took out some money from her bosom and gave it to the person who drove the carriage, and to the neighbor who was lying down with her, and begged the two to carry the father and son in.
Then they were all placed on a bed, and the old woman looked at her second son, who had not gotten up for so long, and reached out to touch her second son's snort, and then the old woman took a step back, and then sat on the ground with her buttocks.
The old woman pointed to her second son and couldn't speak, "Second child, second child is out of breath." "
The old woman's man sat up all of a sudden, and fell back again, and the old woman heard her man and asked tremblingly, "Is the second child really out of breath?" "
The old woman nodded, and then began to cry uncontrollably.
"Er, you go, how can my mother live, second, second, you...... "
The old woman almost cried and turned her back on her breath, only to feel that her eyes were dark, which way of the drunk fairy did she want to let her good family become like this?
The old woman changed her tone and asked her man with a serious face, "Old man, you tell me, what about the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and the Yan girl?" "
The old woman's man forcibly held back the tears in his eyes, but his face was full of sadness, "The eldest daughter-in-law and the three of them, I'm afraid that they will be more than lucky, even if they come back with a life, I'm afraid they will find a place to die."
The old woman suddenly collapsed to the ground, and as soon as her man said this, the old woman knew.
The eyes of the people who came were so disgusting, how could the old woman not see it, but she was just holding on to a little hope, hoping that the county magistrate in Qingzhou was a conscience.
Fu Yunyan remembered the appearance of the old woman's house when she passed by Chen Village with her father.
When my father and my mother came here to spend the night, I saw the old woman with red eyes and a face that looked like a puppet who had lost her soul.
She was also numb when she looked at people, and she and her husband were left in the old woman's house at that time.
When the father said that he was the county magistrate of Pingning County, the hatred in the eyes of the old woman really scared Fu Yunyan.
When the old woman's second son had just finished the funeral, the old woman's two daughters-in-law and niece were sent back.
The old woman's daughter-in-law died, and she looked covered with bruises, and as long as she became a relative, she knew what was going on.
The old woman's second daughter-in-law's eyes were wide open, her eyes were full of fear, and there was indeed a sense of relief on her face.
The person who came to return the corpse also said to the old woman in a high-sounding manner, "These two people have unclean hands and feet, and they stole the things of adults, and it is not an exaggeration to kill them, or we adults are merciful and leave a whole corpse or hang it on the city wall, as for that, when we bring water to our adults, they actually knocked over the teacup, and they were killed with these two, and it just so happens that we can be a companion on the Huangquan Road."
When the old woman spoke, Fu Yunyan could hear the sound of the old woman's teeth clenching together.
Fu Yunyan can finally feel the old woman's bitter hatred now, as if she is cutting meat in her heart.
Later, my father went to Pingning County to check the laws of Nanyang, and the last paper was handed to His Majesty, which gave the old woman this breath.
The eldest son of the old woman, after knowing that his family's great revenge had been avenged, finally died depressed on the bed.
