Chapter 31: Conflict, Tension
"Definitely", no, Qiao Lao Er is here again, "Qiao Er's family, this beating is not right, not to mention that it is still the elders who are beating, or not."
Qiao Lao Er likes to pretend to be a reader, and takes the mantras of some readers he hears as his own mantra, and often speaks that he can bluff some ignorant villagers, and in his heart he also thinks that the village chief is inferior to him.
Hua Banxia could tell from the second sentence that Qiao Lao Er was a hypocrisy, and there was no ink in his stomach.
"Yes, how can you beat the elders", "That's it", "But the big tree family's speech is also excessive", "It's all the woman surnamed Hua, and she is still restless after framing", the crowd began to discuss.
Originally, there were people on both sides who supported it, but slowly it began to be one-sided, and everyone couldn't see the juniors beating the elders, and it was because of a woman who came out of the building to fight, and everyone's prejudice against Hua Banxia became deeper and deeper.
Several members of the Qiao family also heard everyone's voices, and everyone was no longer hiding, and they all expressed their opinions, hoping that the Qiao family would listen.
Qiao's family didn't dare to speak, but they didn't let go. No matter how much the family protects Hua Banxia, they can't do this against the people in the village, and they don't want to walk around the village in the future.
Seeing that Qiao Da's family had no confidence, Chen Mei jumped up and looked up at Qiao Da's family arrogantly, "Hmph, Qiao Da, don't you want to apologize now!" ”
Qiao Da lowered his head, thought for a while, and said to Chen Mei in a consultative tone, "Da Shu's family, you see, we will definitely apologize if we apologize, but we really can't be ......the master of this half-summer marriage."
"You can't do anything!" Chen Mei interrupted Qiao Da's words impatiently, "Don't think I don't know, this little slut has been kicked out of the Hua family by her mother, and his father is a slave who came to the door, and now that she has taken refuge in your house, you can call the shots for her."
Chen Mei's words made everyone even more surprised, this Hua Banxia was sold to Hua Manlou and everyone only knew about it when Qiao Da took people to ask for someone, and now Hua Banxia finally came out and was kicked out of the house again, how unpopular it is.
One thing after another made Hua Banxia's image fall again and again, and the villagers present didn't care that the party was still here, no longer pretending to be confused, and opened their mouths to accuse Hua Banxia.
Seeing that things were getting more and more unfavorable to them, the Qiao family was anxious and didn't know what to do, Chen Jiahua and Tian Fuzhen were even more red-eyed, and tightly held Hua Banxia's hand to comfort her.
Hua Qingqing behind him whimpered even more, and the family silently endured everyone's accusations as if they had done something really bad.
"This eldest lady, I tell you clearly, even if I am not perfect, I will not marry your brother, and besides, what I am has nothing to do with my uncle's family, don't deceive people too much!"
Hua Banxia broke away from Chen Jiahua and Tian Fuzhen's hands, stepped forward and stared at Chen Mei and said coldly.
Chen Mei saw Hua Banxia's cold and threatening eyes, and her heart trembled a little, and she subconsciously swallowed her saliva, but when she thought about it, now that they were being bullied, what were she afraid of, she continued to have the courage to mock Hua Banxia.
"You little slut, don't toast and don't eat and drink, if you still want to mix in Qiaoli Village, you have to stick to my family!" Chen Mei's wishful thinking is getting louder and louder, and she can already ask the woman to post it upside down without blushing and heartbeat.
"That's it, the frame is matched with the cripple, otherwise you have to get out of Qiaoli Village", a female voice among the villagers pointed out, in fact, she didn't mean to help Chen Mei speak, but Hua Banxia really looks like a peugeot, and she came out of the building, so I'm afraid that she will shamelessly seduce other men in the village.
Chen Mei frowned and was a little unhappy when she heard someone behind her scolding his brother for being a cripple, but she thought that she was talking for herself, so she let her go for the time being.
When the villagers heard this, they also agreed, as if letting Hua Banxia marry Chen Dazhuang was also a punishment for her lack of self-love, and as a punisher, it made them feel that they were superior to others, and their sense of superiority was greatly enhanced.
"No, Banxia can't go, where can she go as a child", Chen Jiahua cried, and didn't forget to intercede for Hua Banxia.
"That's it, my cousin isn't going anywhere!" Qiao Le couldn't either, so he could only do it in a hurry.
"Not leaving? Then Ming'er and I will call my brother to pick up my daughter-in-law", Chen Mei thought that the Qiao family was afraid, and her tone was full of joy.
"Uncle and aunt, Qingqing may have to trouble you to take care of it", Hua Banxia ignored Chen Mei's clamor and turned to talk to Qiao Da and them, entrusting Hua Qingqing to them.
As soon as Qiao Da and the others heard this, they hurriedly persuaded Hua Banxia to let her not be impulsive.
"Uncle, if I don't leave, I will have to marry Chen Dazhuang's bastard, and I can't even burden you", Hua Banxia comforted Qiao Da and a few people, and several people were also embarrassed, and they couldn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds.
The villagers present were a little surprised to see Hua Banxia so strong, a girl was kicked out of the house, helpless, this is to beg for food? Or do you want to starve to death on the streets?
Chen Mei saw that Hua Banxia was unwilling to marry her younger brother even if she was kicked out of Qiaoli Village, and she couldn't wait to pick her skin in her heart, "Little slut, you have to think about it, don't come back and beg my brother to ask for you!" ”
Hua Banxia didn't make a sound, walked directly into the house, quickly packed up his clothes, and came out with a shriveled and shabby package, making a gesture to leave.
Everyone looked at Hua Banxia indifferently throughout the whole process, and now when they saw that she was leaving, they didn't make a sound, they didn't sympathize at all, who asked her not to marry Chen Dazhuang as they said, this poor arrogance is really eye-catching.
Hua Banxia naturally walked to the table in the yard, picked up the drawings on the table, folded them, rolled them up and took them away.
"Hey, what are you doing, why are you taking this picture!" Everyone was anxious when they saw that Hua Banxia was going to take away the drawings.
"This is mine", Hua Banxia said lightly, rolling up the drawings and going outside.
The villagers, including Qiao Li, were in a hurry, they had seen the picture, and they understood it, and they knew how important this thing was to the crops in the field, if there was no picture, I don't know if it could be done.
"Stop her", Qiao Li blurted out, and several village women immediately reacted and stopped in front of Hua Banxia to prevent her from leaving.
Qiao Li then said to Qiao Da, "Qiao Da, that thing is your thing, you can't destroy the crops in our village for a woman who came out of the building!" ”
Hua Banxia really admires Qiao Li a little, every time he speaks, he will get to the point, and he also likes to change concepts. directly identified this drawing as Qiao Da, and Qiao Da was honest and honest, and he didn't dare to do anything sorry for the people in the village.
Then let Qiao Da be forced by the pressure of the fate of the crops in the village, let him compromise and recapture the drawings.
Qiao was embarrassed, for these people who often come and go in the village, now he can see their faces clearly, and he doesn't even believe in these people without complaining in his heart, but there are so many crops in the village, do they have to finish playing?
"Uncle Dali, that's my sister's thing, not my father's, and, without the waterwheel, can't you still carry water, how can you blame my father for the destruction of the crops!" Qiao Zheng saw that his father hesitated, for fear that he would not be able to withstand the pressure and hurt Hua Banxia again, so he hurriedly reminded Qiao Da.
"Adults talk, children don't interject!" Qiao Li couldn't hold back a little, why are these little ghosts so clever!
"That's it, without this thing, you go to carry water for my family", "Yes, are you responsible!" A new round of complaining began in the crowd.
These people are really, they don't do their own work, where do they get the face to ask others to be responsible, and besides, this waterwheel is not their thing in the first place, and it has something to do with them.
But Hua Banxia underestimated their cheekiness after all, "Yes, this thing just can't be taken away by this cheap woman and robbed by me!" Chen Mei saw that everyone was very emotional, so she provoked the conflict again, thinking that she would take advantage of the crowd and give Hua Banxia some ruthless hands later.
Hua Banxia hummed lightly, it seems that the quality of the people he used to contact is too high, the richer he is, the more stylish, and now it seems that the bosses he used to deal with are too good to speak.
"It's... Can this be done", where did the two women who grabbed Hua Banxia dare to start, they have been honest people all their lives, how can Chen Mei be so ruthless.
"No? If we don't fight again, our crops will be gone! "Chen Mei knows the psychology of these village women best, the crops are bigger than the sky, do you want to starve the whole family to death?
When everyone heard this, their minds immediately flashed to the appearance of themselves standing on the ridges of the fields, watching the crops withering and the children screaming with hunger.
"Uncle, I'm sorry for you", Hua Banxia obviously felt the strength of the hand on his arm increase, for these strong words and unreasonable villagers, Hua Banxia can no longer bear it.
Qiao Da's family has always been concerned about Hua Banxia's safety, and they are a little confused by her inexplicable sudden asymmetry of saying sorry, but before they can react, Hua Banxia's side has already started fighting.
"Cousin!" "Cousin! Qiao Yu and the others watched Hua Banxia start to move, and thought that she was being bullied, so they rushed forward to help.
Qiao Li had already given a few men a look, and Qiao Da stopped a few men as soon as they made a move.
"Vigorously, let me go!" How did Qiao Da know that the partner who had played together since childhood was actually such a person, and shouted at him with remorse and anger.
"Uncle Dali, so many of you bully juniors, what is this!" Joe was red-eyed, trying to push away the people who were holding them back.
Hua Banxia is a person who is so easy to be caught and beaten, trying to break free from her arms that were caught, but the woman who has done farm work all her life only knows how to hold on to it, and there are no other moves, which makes it difficult for Hua Banxia to get out for a while.
Unable to break away from her arms, Hua Banxia attacked with her legs, just using the two women who were grabbing her as support points, allowing herself to free her legs and kick towards the villagers who surrounded her and wanted to beat her.
