Chapter Twenty-Five: The Scholarly Door
Hearing that the sixth sister of the Yang family took other people's white noodles, Uncle Huang turned around and said to Huang Liuniang sternly: "Sixth sister, what is the matter with you taking other people's white noodles?" If you steal it, see if the eldest brother doesn't chop off your hand! ”
Knowing that the eldest brother had been seen by others like this, Huang Liuniang also pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Big brother, I didn't take his white noodles, it was given to us by Uncle Liuya." "Now I told the story of the day before yesterday again.
As soon as I heard that my niece had been stunned by the Yang family twice, the Huang family brothers, who had come to fight for their sister, were even more angry, Uncle Huang suppressed his anger, and spoke in a rather hard tone: "Our two families have also been married for more than ten years, and everyone knows what life my sixth sister has lived for so many years."
Our brothers all wanted to help the sixth sister, but the sixth sister said that she was afraid of losing the face of your old Xia family, and let outsiders laugh at the sixth brother-in-law for relying on her father-in-law's family to eat, and said that she didn't need us to help her. The sixth sister eats chaff vegetables at your Lao Xia's house every day, and our brothers see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts.
Since the sixth sister has found a poor family like yours, it is her life that is not good, and we admit it. But now you are tossing the child to death twice or three times to our nieces like this, and those of us who are uncles will endure it any longer, and we will be men in vain. ”
Second Uncle Huang, who can speak well, continued: "Originally, there was a big brother here, and I shouldn't come out, but I am also the elder brother of the sixth sister, and I can say some things." Mrs. in-laws, in the past, we understood that your old Xia family was not doing well, and the sixth sister suffered a lot and suffered a lot of grievances, and those of us who were brothers didn't say anything. Now that your old Xia family is so poor that they steal rice to live, it seems that they can't afford to support the sixth sister's family. Otherwise, the sixth sister's family, we will take it away, and save some food for your old Xia family. ”
"Okay. I think this idea works, our old Huang family is not short of the sixth sister's stuttering. Take the sixth sister's family back! The rest of the brothers shouted, with the intention of really taking Huang Liuniang's family away.
In front of so many people, being ridiculed by the Zhu family, Mrs. Xia couldn't hold back on her face.
"Although my family is poor, they are not so poor that they can't eat. At noon today, I also made white flour meat dumplings for the children to eat, if you don't believe it, ask the second pillar, ask the third pillar. Yes, Liuya, this child has been wronged, but no one is willing. No matter how bad my eldest daughter-in-law is, she won't always attack a little girl. Liuya, this girl, has been naughty since she was a child, and it is common for adults to be angry...... "Mrs. Xia still wants to defend the Yang family, so she talks about Liuya.
As soon as she said this, Li intercepted her words: "Yo, what the in-laws said about it, whose six-year-old children are not naughty, is it possible that other people's children are clay sculptures, but our six girls are naughty?" The in-laws' wife means that if the child is disobedient, he will have to be beaten to death, right? You are willing to give up your granddaughter, but we Lao Huang are not willing to give up your niece. Come, Liuya, their old Xia family doesn't want you, and the eldest aunt wants you, come, go back to your grandmother's house with the eldest aunt.
Also, the eldest girl has lived in our house for more than a year, and I have good food and drink, and now it seems that the eldest girl must not be allowed to come back, and the province will be killed by your old Xia family. ”
Hearing this, Qingbao understood that the reason why Aunt Li had been talking to her was that it was still Xia Yu's idea. Thinking about it, Huang Liuniang had already told Mrs. Xia about asking for the silver gift, so the Li family came with him, just to find an opportunity to get rid of the silver gift. Mrs. Xia didn't expect this layer, and now she has suffered a dark loss.
As soon as Mrs. Xia heard Li's mention of the eldest girl, she immediately understood, Li was under the banner of distressed niece, and wanted to succeed the eldest girl in vain, how could she let the money in her hand fly away, and hurriedly said: "Her eldest aunt, let's talk about the six girls first, and we will talk about the big girls later." ”
Li immediately blocked her back: "Then the in-law wife, what should you do about Liuya?" The child was beaten twice by her aunt and had already fainted twice. You'll have to give us an account of this. ”
Seeing that the Li family no longer talked about the eldest girl, Mrs. Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone couldn't help but ease: "It is said that the eldest daughter-in-law is the elder of the sixth girl, and this elder should also teach the younger generation." The eldest daughter-in-law has gone too far, and I don't protect her, otherwise, how about asking her to give Liuya the money for medicine to treat her injuries? ”
Li sneered bitterly: "Yo, just pay for medicine, our six girls are in vain pain, and we are beaten in vain?" The in-laws also said that they would not protect your eldest daughter-in-law, I see that your old heart is gone. ”
Uncle Huang also said: "The child was knocked unconscious twice, this is to take it to court and say, it's not just a matter of losing some money for medicine, right?" Since we are sincere in solving this matter, don't try to fool us, and quickly get a real chapter. We've been here for a while, why hasn't the big brother Shouye even shown his face? ”
Mrs. Xia said: "Shouye is not at home, so I went to town with Shou Quan's brothers." I'll just be in charge of this, and I'll be able to be my son's home. Otherwise, let the old family give the Liuya family a bag of grain, okay? ”
Li sneered at Mrs. Xia and said: "Mrs. in-law, you are really good at settling accounts, and when you ask us for money, you ask for ten taels or eight, how can you exchange it for your family to pay for food?" Just your bag of brown rice coarse grains is worth a few dollars. ”
Liuya's second aunt, Yu, asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, what are you buying with your in-laws?" ”
Li has been leading the topic to the eldest girl, so as not to give the successor fee, she has been waiting for someone to mention the topic of the eldest girl, and now that someone finally asked, she immediately doubled her spirits, and said with added vinegar: "Your eldest brother is a scholarly friend of the generation, and wants to marry my family, his eldest son is seventeen years old this year, his family is rich, and he is handsome." My Jing'er is only eleven years old, and I think that Jing'er is too young, and the eldest girl is the same age as the child, so I want to tell him about the eldest girl.
But people are scholarly families, and they can't look down on the Xia family's family background, so your eldest brother and I discussed passing the eldest girl to our name, and said that the eldest girl is our daughter, isn't this worthy of others? Your eldest brother and I are purely for the good of the child, you said that the eldest son and grandson of the scholarly family, this identity and status, if the eldest girl is in the Xia family, can she find such a good family? I discussed it with your eldest brother, and after the succession, we will also pay the dowry of the eldest girl.
But the kindness of me and your eldest brother was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and my in-laws said that my stepdaughter would ask us for ten taels of silver. ”
As soon as Li's words fell, there was an uproar in the room.
"Ten taels of silver? Too much, right? ”
"How much does it cost to have a step-son? Some people are in a hurry to let others pass on to them in order to ask for property. ”
"Yes, where will this stepgirl pay back the money?"
"This uncle and aunt are so good, where can you find such a good thing? It's too dark to ask people for money. ”
……
Although Mrs. Xia knew that she wanted more than a silver gift, she left room for the Huang family to make a counteroffer, in her thoughts, the Huang family could not give ten taels so much, but five or six taels could still be given. And to be honest, she didn't plan to talk to the Huang family about the silver gift in person, she just hoped that Huang Liuniang would pass on a word in the middle. After all, if you want to pass the silver gift, it is almost the same as selling your granddaughter, and Mrs. Xia still wants this face.
If the Huang family doesn't come, then she blindly puts pressure on Huang Liuniang, maybe she will ask for more silver. But now, the Li family said this in public, especially the condition that the Li family put forward was for the good of the big girl, which made her immediately become the target of the public, which she did not expect.
Mrs. Xia glanced at the initiator of this incident resentfully, although she hated that Yang had ruined her business, but after all, it was a family, and Mrs. Xia still had to round this scene. So Mrs. Xia said with a dry smile: "Her aunt, I think you have misunderstood." The ten taels of silver I said I wanted were not for our Xia family.
No matter how poor our old Xia family is, we can't sell our granddaughter, right? I asked for it for the eldest girl. The last time your sister-in-law told me about this, she didn't say that you would accompany the dowry, I was thinking that the eldest girl could marry such a good family, so we had to accompany some dowry, right? But you also know that our family is not rich, how can we have money to pay a dowry. I don't.
Is it good for the child, think about the silver gift so that the child can add a dowry. I knew that you would give the eldest girl a dowry, why should I be this bad person? ”
Jiang is still old and spicy in the end, and Mrs. Xia turned the situation around as soon as she talked nonsense.
Huang Liuniang still wanted to defend herself, but when she saw Mrs. Xia staring at her, she didn't dare to say anything more.
As soon as Li heard Mrs. Xia say that she didn't want to pass the silver ceremony, she let Mrs. Xia go with satisfaction, and said happily: "In front of so many villagers, then we will make up our minds." The eldest girl passed on to us, and we were responsible for giving the eldest girl sixteen dowries. ”
As soon as I heard that Sixteen was carrying a dowry, the house blew up again.
"Sixteen dowries, this is comparable to a young lady."
"Yes, yes, you see how good the life of the eldest girl is, and she has met such a good uncle and aunt."
……
Li listened to the praise of the villagers, and his face smiled like a flower.
And the old lady Xia who had a sullen loss, her face was as long as a horse's face.
The matter of the eldest girl was solved, and Uncle Huang and his wife were satisfied.
Second Uncle Huang took over the matter of Liuya, and said to Mrs. Xia: "Mrs. in-laws, we are all close relatives, no matter what we say or do, it is for the good of the children, if we have any inconsiderate words, don't blame us." ”
Mrs. Xia forced her face and grinned: "His second uncle, if you say this, you will see the outside, we are a family, don't talk about two families." ”
"Yes, just because we're a family, then I have something to say. Although the Shouye family is an elder, he knocked Liuya unconscious twice, and almost scared my mother out of a bad place, so we have to break this matter up. The child's injury must be treated, but the child's pain and grievances cannot be suffered in vain.
Dr. Lin also said just now that children will become fools if they don't get it right, and you must know how heavy this injury is. If you don't come up with a fair word today, we will take the sixth sister's family, and if you want to see your son and grandson in the future, go to our old Huang family. Second Uncle Huang pulled a long voice and put pressure on Mrs. Xia unhurriedly.
