Chapter 54: Protection

Zhao's second sister-in-law was so frightened that she trembled, she regretted climbing Zhao Fengnian very much, and was about to speak, but Zhao Qingshan, who was in his arms, suddenly saw Wu Yu standing in the corner, so she stretched out her hand and pointed at him, shouting loudly, "It's him who beats me, he wants to kill me." ”

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and they were all stunned, where did this beautiful boy come from, white and clean, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, if it weren't for his solemn face and wearing a cyan jacket and pants, he would be a beautiful little girl.

Ruixue's house is in the northeasternmost corner of the village, except for the Gao family and the Zhang family, they rarely interact with people on weekdays, so Wu Yu was picked up for more than ten days, and most people in the village still don't know, if they don't go to the school to study, I'm afraid even fewer people know.

Yun Sanye heard his grandson mention that he had a classmate who was more beautiful than a woman, a little beggar picked up by Mr. Zhao's family, and although he was surprised at this time, he still remembered the business, so he asked Rui Xuedao, "This child belongs to your family?" ”

Rui Xue nodded, "I picked it up a few days ago, I am busy at the dock on weekdays, and my husband is not in good health, so there is little to take care of him, so I will leave him to do some chores." ”

Yun Sanye nodded, but praised Rui Xue in his heart for being careful, although he showed up to do business, he was still dedicated to his husband.

Rui Xue summoned Wu Yu over and asked, "The injury on Zhao Qingshan's body was caused by you?" ”

Wu Yu glanced at Zhao Qingshan, who was hiding behind his mother's body, and nodded in response, "I hit him." ”

The crowd immediately became noisy, of course, they all accused Wu Yu of being wrong, after all, Zhao Qingshan was raised by them since childhood, and Wu Yu was no matter how beautiful he was, he was also a wild child picked up outside.

Ruixue also frowned, and asked again, "Why did you hit him?" ”

Wu Yu raised his neck lightly and looked at everyone arrogantly, but he was silent and did not say anything for a long time.

Everyone and the clan elders felt that they didn't like it, a little beggar who picked it up actually seemed to look down on them, people with families and businesses?

Seeing him standing close, Zhao's second sister-in-law couldn't suppress the hatred in her heart, she suddenly straightened up, and the scissors in her hand were about to pierce Wu Yu. ”

Zhao's second sister-in-law pounced, and retorted with hatred, "Obviously he beat my son, I am taking revenge, how can I call killing people and killing people?" ”

Rui Xue smiled coldly, "The clan elders haven't asked the reason yet, you have to take revenge by stabbing people with scissors, which revenge will you get?" Whether your child has something to do is not certain. ”

Zhao's second sister-in-law was choked and began to cry again, "There is no reason, if you are beaten, you will not be beaten, and you will be wronged, God, why don't you send a thunderstorm and chop those evil women to death." ”

"Don't ask for that, otherwise you will be the first to be hacked, won't it become a joke?" Rui Xue threw out a sentence lightly, which made everyone laugh out loud, this second sister-in-law Zhao has a bad reputation on weekdays, it is said that their family lived in Xiaopingshan back then, but they were driven to live in Yunjia Village because they did not respect their mother-in-law, speaking of which, she really can afford the word evil woman.

Rui Xue ignored everyone, stretched out her hand to straighten Wu Yu's half-hung head, forced him to look into her eyes, and asked, "Why did you hit him, tell everyone." ”

The corners of Wu Yu's mouth twitched, half mocking, half lonely sneering, "I said, does anyone believe it?" ”

Rui Xue turned around and looked at everyone with a look of interest, anger, or doubt, and said in a low voice, "I can't guarantee others, but you are rescued by me, you are now my Zhao family, as long as you say it, I will believe it." ”

Wu Yu stared at her eyes, as if he was trying to find something inside, but those eyes were so clear that his heart suddenly softened, as if countless joys poured out of his heart. Because, all the scenarios that she had secretly imagined in the corner just now were completely overturned by a few words from her, and the woman did not doubt him, did not blame him, she said... Trust him!

"I was punished by my husband for cleaning the school, and when I was sweeping the floor, he came in with a sharp iron knife, saying that I robbed his daughter-in-law of lotus and wanted to kill me, and I blocked it a few times with a broom."

This statement was completely unexpected, which made the crowd immediately noisy again, and everyone looked at Zhao Qingshan's eyes with half joking and half disgust, just how old a child is, he knows that he has robbed his daughter-in-law, and he is going to kill his rival in love, this courage is also a little too big.

The most angry is the lotus's father, the lotus girl jumped three feet high, stepped forward and grabbed Zhao's second sister-in-law's shirt and scolded, "You shameless shrew, when did our lotus give your son, you actually called your daughter-in-law, you are shameless, my lotus still has a reputation, in case you delay my lotus to find my mother-in-law, I am not finished with you." ”

Zhao's second sister-in-law's face was flushed, she just went to probe the mouth, and the people didn't agree at all, who knew that her family Qingshan would admit this death, which was good, she didn't seek justice, but offended the family again, and someone next to her stepped forward to persuade her, and finally separated the two.

Zhao's second sister-in-law was angry, and she still didn't want to admit that her son did it first, so she defended, "At that time, the two of you were in the school, who knows if you lied, my family Qingshan has been sensible since he was a child, and when he goes home, he doesn't play much except for reading, where can I find any iron blade knife, how can I think of killing people?" ”

Yun Sanye and several clan elders didn't believe it, the people in the village were simple, and there were few fights on weekdays, so the children taught should naturally not be so vicious, so they also echoed and asked, "Qingshan is indeed not such a bold child, Zhao Niangzi, you better let this little guy tell the truth." ”

Rui Xue's eyes narrowed slightly, and she clearly heard the bias in the old clan's words, so she smiled, "What is the clan elder talking about, everyone watched Qingshan grow up, and they believed that he was not a bold child." Ah, my husband and I have also raised Brother Yu for almost half a month, and we all see his words and deeds, and naturally believe that this child is not lying. After speaking, she deliberately reached out and pulled out a piece of cotton exposed on Wu Yu's body, waved it at everyone, and said, "If this kid doesn't resist, I'm afraid he will really die, Qingshan's knife is sharp enough, and the cotton jacket is so torn, if it is scratched on the face, pierced on the body, hum..." ”

Everyone heard her reminder, and also saw the tear on the padded jacket on Wu Yu's body, and muttered in their hearts again, Rui Xue didn't wait for them to answer, and said, "Since everyone has different opinions, why don't you send someone to the school to check it, I think the knife should still be there." On weekdays, children always play together, and it shouldn't be difficult to ask whose knife it is. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Qingshan's face turned white, the iron knife, he stole a small shovel from his father, sharpened it with a stone, and often took it to the school on weekdays, showing off with his playmates, if the clan elders really asked, he would definitely show his stuffing, when the time came, what would he do, he wouldn't be arrested and sent to prison, right?

The more he wanted to be afraid, the more he finally rolled around with his head in his hands, crying loudly, "I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to scratch his face, Lotus likes him, I want to marry Lotus..."

These words are already equivalent to admitting that he killed people with a knife, and the clan elders all seemed to have been slapped in the face, and their faces were extremely ugly.

Lotus His father heard that Qingshan was still there shouting his daughter's name, and stepped forward to kick him twice, Zhao's second sister-in-law immediately rushed over to protect her son, but unfortunately there was no sympathy in the eyes of everyone looking at their mother and son.

Everyone lives in a village, it is impossible to have no quarrels at all, today this kid is only because he likes lotus, and lotus likes others, he wants to kill, so if they offend the Zhao family in the future, wouldn't they have to be killed every day?

Human nature is often so changeable, sometimes extremely kind, sometimes extremely ugly, and even the slightest fear can uproot the danger.

Zhao's second sister-in-law heard that everyone said that they wanted the clan elders to drive their family out of the village, and her face was gray, if she knew that this was the result, even if her son was beaten and his leg was broken, he didn't dare to make a noise.

The clan elders glanced at each other, and they were all a little hesitant, especially Yun Sanye, he had a good relationship with Zhao Lao's father, otherwise he would not have taken their family to settle here, if he didn't intercede at this time, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his old friends at that time, but if the protection was too obvious, it would be unfair to Zhao Fengnian and his wife. Fortunately, the kid who was almost killed was an outsider who picked it up, and he could barely make a fuss.

So he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and said, "Qingshan, this child, a young man is impetuous, and it is inevitable that he will think more biased when encountering things, but fortunately, in Mr. 's house... Little guy, not injured. However, Qingshan was not lightly injured, and it can be regarded as a lesson, so it is better to wait for Zhao Lao Er to come back and pay more silver, make up for the damaged objects for Mr. 's family, and add an extra pig's head to apologize to the ancestors during the New Year's sacrifice. What do you think? ”

Li Zheng sighed secretly, he knew in his heart that this punishment seemed to be fair, but in fact, it was obviously protecting Zhao's second family, but he was also surnamed Yun, and he was his third uncle, so it was naturally not good to refute in front of everyone, so he bowed his head and pretended not to hear, neither objected nor agreed.

The elders of the other clans wanted to sell Yun Sanye a favor, and if they had something to do in the future, they would have someone to help, so they nodded and echoed a few words, and the matter was settled.

Rui Xue and Zhao Fengnian glanced at each other, the thing was smashed, and if you make up for it, it's over? Who will compensate for Wu Yu's fright, and her family will be tossed like this today, who will compensate?

Zhao Fengnian looked at Rui Xue's angry cheeks, his heart was annoyed, he got up and looked at several clan elders, and said lightly, "I always hear the villagers say that the clan elders are wise and sensible. It's a pity that the mind of the clan is not as good as the elders, so often killing, lying, and making trouble with the students of the teacher's court, asking themselves if they are capable of teaching, and asking the clan elders to bring it back and find another famous teacher. If you feel uncomfortable in the lower body, you will not be sent away! ”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, leaving the clan elders with blue and red faces and a group of villagers with straight eyes, and walked straight back to the house.
