He jumped to his feet and scolded, not beware of a snowball flying in front of him, and immediately choked on a mouthful of snow, which turned out to be Xiaobai naughty.

Xiaobai clapped his hands and applauded, and several children also coaxed, throwing snowballs again and again, Li San was so embarrassed that he couldn't scold anymore, so he could only flee in disgrace.

Looking at his embarrassed back, Chunju and the others were relieved and relieved, Chunju picked up Sister-in-law Yang, helped her cover her wounds with a handkerchief, and looked up at her young lady.

Zhuang Meiyan's face was faint, and he couldn't see joy and worry, so he only said one sentence.

"Get the man in and stop the bleeding. ”

Chunju answered and hurriedly helped Sister-in-law Yang into the house.

The old village chief coughed lightly, waved his hand with a majestic face, and shouted, "Disperse, everyone disperse." ”

He took a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth, paced in front of Zhuang Meiyan with a heavy heart, took a puff of dry tobacco, and said earnestly: "The third girl of the Zhuang family, the uncle has something to talk to you, please take a step to speak." ”

Zhuang Meiyan went with him.

Chunju helped Sister-in-law Yang into the house, Sister-in-law Yang collapsed, relying on Chunju's strength, fortunately she was still lined by Han Niu'er, otherwise she would not have been able to get her into the house with Chunju's strength.

"Oh, what are you doing with a big man? Go out, get out!" Chunju saw that Sister-in-law Yang was beaten by Li Sanjiao and her hair was disheveled, and when she caught a glimpse of Han Niu'er next to her, she couldn't help frowning and shouting, and pushed him out without saying anything.

Han Niu'er opened her mouth, Chunju pushed him out of the door, and said another word to him.

"It's kind of! like a man!"

He was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, touch the top of his head, and giggle.

"It's kind of! like a man!"

After closing the door, Chunju still felt that something was wrong, and suddenly heard someone muttering and repeating his words, his face turned red, and he grabbed the other party's collar.

"You, Xiaobai, you're not a man! Get out, get out!"

Xiaobai also pushed it out, he pointed to the tip of his nose nonchalantly, and then pointed at Han Niu'er, and said: "You have a kind of like a gentleman! You have been kicked out, I have been kicked out, and we are both like a gentleman now!"

He nodded repeatedly, seemingly pleased with this conclusion.

Zhuang Meiyan came back from outside, and saw Xiaobai shaking his head and muttering "like a man", Han Niu'er was intoxicated at the door, and wondered in his heart. As soon as I pushed the door, I was greeted with a scolding.

"Death, tell you not to come in, you--"

Zhuang Meiyan smiled.

"Who are you talking about? ”

When Chunju saw that it was Miss who came in, she was disappointed, and hurriedly blessed her, and said: "The slave is stopping the bleeding for Sister-in-law Yang, and I thought it was Xiaobai who came in to mess around. ”

Zhuang Meiyan smiled again and said, "Who are you and me, don't be bound by those courtesies." How is Sister-in-law Yang's injury? Will it leave a scar?"

Chunju sighed and said, "Fortunately, Han Niu'er pulled it, and his life is fine, after all, it is broken, even if there is no scar, I am afraid there will be some traces." ”

Zhuang Meiyan glanced at Sister-in-law Yang, and saw that her face was pale, her eyes were as dull as mud pills, and her heart was like ashes. She sighed in her heart, and said to Chunju: "Do you think that I am ruthless? ”

Chunju hung her head and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Zhuang Meiyan smiled and said: "I know that you don't dare to say it in your mouth, just in that situation, if you don't do that, I'm afraid you won't be able to control that scoundrel, but you just make the Yang family's sister-in-law suffer." ”

Chunju admired: "Miss, you are so powerful, that guy can't answer a word, and he can't make any bad intentions." ”

"Poof!"

The master and servant were talking, and suddenly Sister-in-law Yang, who was sitting on the pier, suddenly knelt down, touched her forehead to the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Third girl, thank you, thank you." ”

After saying five words of thanks, Sister-in-law Yang couldn't cry again.

Zhuang Meiyan motioned to Chunju to quickly pick up Sister-in-law Yang, and said in a pleasant voice: "Now you should explain everything to us clearly." ”

After Sister-in-law Yang's emotions calmed down, she explained the truth of the matter one by one.

Sister-in-law Yang's home is in Yangjia Village, her husband is a talent, he can't pick up his shoulders, he can't go out to sea to catch fish, they only have an only son, and the family's daily household usually relies on Sister-in-law Yang to do some embroidery and other subsidies for a living. Sister-in-law Yang is ingenious, and the money she earns can barely get by, although the life is hard, but the family is happy together.

Her husband read poetry and books hard every day, but she fell behind repeatedly, and instead of complaining, Sister-in-law Yang encouraged her husband more. But since her husband fell for the last time last year, he has been greatly depressed, does not want to make progress, and gradually contracted gambling.

The husband not only lost all the family property, but also signed his wife's deed of sale at the instigation of Li San and mortgaged Sister-in-law Yang to Li San. Afterwards, Yang Shusheng, who had lost nothing, returned home in despair, looking at his wife who served him enthusiastically, his face was full of shame, and he told Sister-in-law Yang what happened.

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Sister-in-law Yang shed tears, and finally couldn't think about it, so she secretly returned to her parents' house. met his cousin at his mother's house, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, Wu. So the rest of the matter, Zhuang Meiyan and they all knew it.

Sister-in-law Yang burst into tears, crying for a while and talking for a while, intermittently, Zhuang Meiyan and Chunju were also indignant when they heard it. Chunju said indignantly: "It's really annoying......! Don't mention the unproductive one, even if that Li San scoundrel wrote a gambling debt than your husband and drew a mortgage, but, didn't Miss say just now, gambling debts can't be regarded as debts, you can not pay them back, you can go to the government to sue him. ”

Sister-in-law Yang shook her head and said: "Sister Chunju said it lightly, but you don't know, the entrance of the yamen is open, and there is no reason to come in without money, Li San is connected to the government, how can we poor people sue him? ”

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Yang was about to burst into tears again.

Zhuang Meiyan knew that this matter could not be good, although she shocked Li San with words before, but how could the scoundrel reason with others, after he went back, he would definitely not give up, and he would definitely bring endless trouble to her and the "Phoenix Nest". The old village chief called her out alone to discuss the matter.

The old village chief didn't want to cause trouble for a person from another village, so he hoped that Zhuang Meiyan could send Sister-in-law Yang out as soon as possible.

Zhuang Meiyan vaguely agreed, so she had to plan again.

"Third girl, please save me, a good woman doesn't marry a second man, although I am stupid, I still understand this truth...... If I can't, it's better for me to leave an innocent body and go clean, than to be trampled by that beast. ”

As he spoke, he hid his face and began to cry.

Chunju was also full of anxiety, and finally couldn't help but say to Zhuang Meiyan: "Miss, Sister-in-law Yang is pitiful, for the sake of her dedication to serving the old lady, Miss, you can save her." ”

Zhuang Meiyan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside the house, and bowed slightly.

Chunju and Sister-in-law Yang only cared about their own happiness, but they didn't see Zhuang Meiyan's solemn expression when she quietly turned around.
