Chapter 149: The Stepmother (3)

Rui Xue was really annoyed, she thought that this Liu Qiniang was at most bad-tempered, but she didn't expect to be so shameless, serving her own children and daring to ask her for hard money. One tael of silver in a month, in her eyes, is definitely not much, not unaffordable, but she is not willing to get used to her temper, one has two, if you agree today, I don't know how much trouble there will be in the future.

"If you don't give it, you won't give it, why scold me, my family's money and black charcoal work in the workshop, and I don't care about you." Liu Qiniang hugged the child and turned around and walked out of the yard, and soon returned home.

didn't say anything, she threw Kexin on the kang, and began to wrap it, all the small clothes, quilts, and small jewelry, all taken away, turned her head to look at Kexin who was crying, her eyes rolled, and she immediately stepped forward and picked up the jade pendant on her chest, and sneered, "Don't give me hard money, okay, I'll take things on top, I won't believe it, I can't earn back a tael of silver." ”

After speaking, she went out with the package, only ran to the Dongshan path, crossed the mountains, and returned to her parents' house.

Rui Xue was so angry that she drank two cups of warm tea, only to feel that the anger in her chest had subsided, and after thinking about it, she was still not at ease, "This Liu Qiniang didn't get the silver, after going back, can you be hungry, we still have to go and see." ”

Cui Niang was also worried, helped her, took Caiyun to the moon and went to Qian's house, called a few times outside the courtyard gate, but no one answered, and a few people opened the door and went in.

Ke Xin was lying on the kang, whining and choking quietly, there was not even a small cushion under his body, his pants were already wet, his clothes were half open, revealing his bare neck, Xu heard the movement, his big eyes were full of tears, he turned his head to look over, and several people who were distressed immediately rushed to him and scolded, "This damn Liu Qi Niang, why did you throw the child on the kang, how cold it is." ”

Rui Xue stretched out her hand to cover the child's clothes, and her subordinates were suddenly beaten, and when she opened the shirt again, she saw that the jade pendant that the child was hanging on her chest was really gone, and then she looked at the stomach and arms, all of which were bruised and pinched, and she trembled in distress.

Cui Niang was also surprised, and picked up the child's pants, needless to say, the bruises on the thighs and buttocks were even worse.

Caiyun Caiyue couldn't help but be the first to cry, when their little brother was in the hands of the stepmother, they were pinched like this, they found out that they went to their father to complain, but they were beaten.

Cui Niang grabbed the sweeping kang broom at hand, and went all over the yard to turn over Liu Qiniang, eager to smoke her to death to relieve her anger, but Rui Xue calmed down and instructed Caiyun, "Go and see the box, are those small jewelry still there?" ”

There were only two boxes in the room, and Caiyun only saw it clearly in a moment, turned around and said, "Madam, the little jewelry is gone, and the little clothes and quilts are all gone." ”

"Okay, it's really clean." Rui Xue was so angry that she grabbed the teacup in her hand and smashed it, "Go back and tell Mr., send someone into the city to call Qian Heitan back, and then invite Li Zheng and a few clan elders to come over." ”

Caiyun Caiyue ran out when she answered, and met Cui Niang and the crying and scolding Yun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rushed together, Aunt Yun looked at Kexin's bruises, tears were like rain, and she beat her chest in distress, "Child, it's grandma who hurt you, what did grandma send you back for, suffer this sin." The stepmother who killed a thousand knives, how could she do it. ”

Osmanthus is also crying, she has been carefully serving the child for more than a month, well-behaved and cute, why is it only four days of hard work, the white fat child has suffered a circle, and added a body of injuries?

The Qian family cried and made a fuss, and the movement spread out, first the neighbors, then the front street and the back street, and soon gathered many villagers to come over, but whoever has been a mother, when they saw that the child was tortured like this, they were so angry that they exploded their lungs, "The queen mother of the world is generally ruthless, a good child, how can you do it." ”

"It's not, it's well raised in the Yun family, this Liu Qiniang has to be brought back, and we all think of her as a virtuous person, it turns out to be such a 'virtuous' method!"

"I should have chopped off her hand!"

Soon the elders of the Lizheng clan rushed over with Zhao Fengnian, and when Zhao Fengnian saw Ruixue's face was pale, he said badly in his heart, so he stepped forward and whispered a persuasion, "Don't be angry, let's just take the child back and raise it." ”

Rui Xue glared at him fiercely, but did not speak, Zhao Fengnian's face was even more bitter, it was he who nodded and asked the Qian family to take Ke Xin back, but now that Ke Xin has suffered like this, he has naturally become an accomplice in Rui Xue's heart.

Cui Niang stripped the clothes on Kexin's body, so that the clan elders and the Li Zheng could see the bruises clearly, and Aunt Yun said, "If this child is not hungry on weekdays, he never cries, it is very easy to bring, and it has only been a few days since he brought it back. ”

Rui Xue also said, "Just now Liu Qiniang hugged Kexin to me, saying that it was hard to take care of the child, and asked me to pay for the hard money, I only said that the child called her mother, and she should take care of it, she came back angrily, I was not at ease with Cui Niang, and when I came over, I saw that Kexin was thrown on the kang, and the small quilts and clothes that I bought at the beginning, as well as the small jewelry sent by the shopkeeper in the city when the full moon was gone." The most important thing is that when Sister-in-law Qian was leaving, she left a jade pendant for Ke Xin as a memory, and it was also taken away by Liu Qiniang, there is really no more shameless person than her! ”

The people around only thought that Liu Qiniang treated the child badly, but she never thought that she also rolled up the child's things, and she didn't even let go of the slightest thought left by her mother.

So, there was an instant noise in the house, everyone shouted, such a black-hearted woman can't be asked for anymore, the clan elder and Li Zheng are also so angry that their faces turn black, no matter what, they just don't look at the Zhao family's feelings, this child is also a child in the village, but Liu Qiniang is from another village, and it has only been seven days since she was married, so arrogant, if she really stays in the village in the future, maybe there will be something bad to cause it.

Zhao Fengnian turned slightly sideways, turned his back to shake Rui Xue's hand, and then said to several clan elders, "When Ke Xinniang died, she entrusted us to take care of Ke Xin, and originally planned to raise Ke Xin well, but the Qian family asked the child back, after all, we are not our own fathers and mothers, and we can't stop it, but now they torture the child like this, if we don't protect the child, this child is afraid that he will die." Kexin, we have to take her back, when she grows up and wants to come back, we naturally don't stop her, her clothes and jewelry are taken away, but the jade pendant must be recovered. For the rest, we won't say much about how Liu Qiniang will be punished. ”

Rui Xue pinched Zhao Fengnian's palm fiercely, Zhao Fengnian turned his head and motioned for her not to make a sound, Rui Xue saw him like this, guessed that he must have other ideas, and that's it.

Li Zheng nodded with the clan elder, there is the entrustment of the child's mother, and the stepmother is so vicious, the Zhao family takes the child back to raise him, this matter is spread all over the country, and no one will gossip, but to praise their family for their trustworthiness and good heart. As for a wicked woman like Liu Qiniang, she can't stay.

Qian Heitan hurried back from the city, and when he saw the bruises on his daughter's body, although he was also distressed, but when he heard that he wanted him to take a leave of absence from Liu Qiniang, he only shook his head and defended, "Qiniang has a good heart, but her temper is a little anxious, and sometimes she cries so much, pinch it with her hand, scare and scare her, the child is delicate, this looks scary, she definitely doesn't have a heart..."

Cui Niang sneered, "Doesn't she have a heart?" Then what is the amount of money she has to work hard to come to the door? Before he arrived, he threw the child on the kang and rolled up all the child's clothes and jewelry and left! But the jade pendant left by the heart mother has been removed, this black-hearted one! ”

Qian Heitan immediately went to look at his daughter's neck, it was indeed empty, his face turned red, and he said in a low voice, "Xu is Qi Niang looks good, take it to play for two days..."

Li Zheng shouted violently, "You look like you have no interest, why did our Yunjia Village have such a bad thing as you!" ”

Several clan elders also said, "What kind of ecstasy soup did that woman pour on you!" is so black-hearted, she still can't stop her! ”

A group of villagers also scolded one after another, Qian Heitan's head was about to hang to the ground, but he still refused to speak. Li Zheng couldn't, and slapped the table hard, "Such a wicked woman, we can't stay in Yunjia Village, if you divorce her, the villagers will definitely help you find a good remarriage in the future, if you don't want to divorce her, just go with her to Dongshan Pass to beg for a living." ”

Qian Heitan's eyes widened in shock, this, this was kicked out of the village, and without waiting for him to speak, Zhao Fengnian also said, "You don't have to worry about the work in the workshop, the predicted two taels of wages will be used as severance silver." ”

Qian Heitan was completely piled up, and said in a loud voice, "I'm not leaving, my family is in the village, and I'm not going anywhere." ”

When everyone heard that he still didn't say that he would divorce his wife, they all hated him so much, and the clan elder didn't care about him, so he said, "The good offspring in the village, find me ten, let's go to the Liu family in Dongshanao, get the children's things back, and talk about the rest later." ”

Everyone responded loudly, the power of the clan was shown at this time, none of the people in the village shirked, Li Zheng wanted ten offspring, but there were more than 20 Hulala, plus the clan elder and Li Zheng, Zhao Fengnian, Qian Heitan, and Yun Er's aunt and Cui Niang who hugged the child, there were more than 30 people, and they went to Dongshan when they left the Qian family.

Rui Xue was also going to go, but she was forced to stay by Zhao Fengnian, she also knew that her stomach was not suitable for climbing, and even fighting, so she had to go back to her house, take Yingzi pomegranate and Caiyun Caiyue, and start cooking stews and soup, and when the people came back, they were ready to entertain a meal.

It is said that the group of people in Yunjia Village turned over Dongshan and arrived at Dongshan Pass, and they were so shocked that the few people sitting idle at the head of the village were straight-eyed, and then they looked at their faces were not good.

The people in Yunjia Village didn't pay attention to it, and went directly to the door of Liu's courtyard, Liu's house was lively, Liu Qiniang came back with a big bag and a small bag, and several sisters-in-law gathered, dividing clothes and jewelry, putting them on their children, and from time to time they were still fighting for two noisy sentences, Liu Qiniang's mouth was upturned, and she felt that she had a special face, and she said, "Sisters-in-law pick slowly, there will be better ones in the future." ”
