Chapter 2: Burning the Chu Family
Xiangling poured all the water in the large clay pot on her body, lit the quilt with flint and steel, and draped it over her body.
The door was kicked open, with great force, and the Jiang eyebrow bone was broken, bleeding from his face, and he fainted.
Chu Xia was about to intercept it, but was hit on the back of the head by Uncle Chu Shiyun with an arm-thick wooden stick, and he also fainted.
The Chu family was about to rush into the house, and a large fireball flew out of the house, which frightened the Chu family and hurriedly retreated to the courtyard.
The "big fireball" scattered the Chu family, flew to the firewood stack, and quickly burned up in the wind, and the sparks flew away.
The farmer's firewood stacks are piled up outside, and there is no shelter on them, and when there is a windy day, there will be a fire and the whole village will suffer, so an unwritten rule has been formed, and if a family is on fire, the whole village will come to the rescue.
Villagers rushed into the courtyard to put out the fire with buckets and basins.
Chu gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes groping in the yard, trying to catch the little fool before the villagers saw it.
A dark and thin figure crawled out of the firewood stack, crawled to Chu's side, hugged Chu's thigh and cried loudly: "Milk, don't burn Xiangling!" Don't burn Xiangling! Uh-huh-hmm........"
Chu Shi stretched out his hand to pull Xiangling's hair, the silver light flashed, and the awl on the sole of the shoe was pierced on Chu's calf, which hurt Chu Shi's "snort", instinctively raised his foot, and kicked Xiangling out far away.
Chu Xiangling, who fell, cried even more miserably, and the villagers gathered one after another.
Jiang and Chu Xia were also awakened by Xiangling's terrible cry, one with blood on his face and the other with blood on the back of his head.
Jiang hugged his daughter with pity, and said to Chu with a sad and angry face: "Mother, even if you look at the face when you die, you can't take Xiangling's life!" ”
The villagers were in an uproar!
The fire in the Chu family turned out to be not a natural disaster, but the Chu family's arson! The goal is to burn the stupid granddaughter! The daughter-in-law and the second grandson Chu Xia blocked and were knocked unconscious!
Everyone made up what had happened on their own, looking at Chu's eyes that were extremely unkind, selling their sons and daughters and being poked in the back, not to mention that they were murdering their relatives!
Chu Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I didn't want to burn her, it was the little fool who burned himself!" ”
An old woman couldn't help but say: "Old Mrs. Chu, the fire thing can be denied, the kick just now can't be denied, which one of the milks kicked his granddaughter to death?!" ”
Another old woman continued: "Sooner or later, my granddaughter is a foreigner, but Chu Xia is my own grandson, there is so much blood on the back of her head, don't be a fool like Xiangling." ”
Chu Shi knew that the situation was extremely unfavorable to him, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "Don't blame me!" I'm for the sake of the reputation of Chujia Village, and the little fool is pregnant! ”
Only then did everyone notice Chu Xiangling's belly, and they talked about the possibility of Xiangling's pregnancy.
Because Chu Xiangling had been robbed of Gaoliang Land, the villagers were more inclined to have a stupid girl pregnant, and they had already begun to guess which well-dressed beast in the village did it.
If you continue to talk about it like this, everything that has no shadow will be smashed.
Jiang said excitedly to the villagers: "Uncles and aunts, Xiangling hasn't come to the routine until now, how can she be pregnant?" Find a Lang Zhong to test, not only can clear Xiangling's reputation, but also benefit our Chujia Village. ”
The Jiang family, who has always been cowardly, dared to confront his mother-in-law-for-tat, talking about reason, like those litigants who are in court, and he is angry.
There were also sharp-eyed villagers who saw Xiangling whispering in Jiang's ear, because she was a fool, no one thought about it elsewhere, thinking that she was a fool and her mother.
The wind turned back to Jiang's side.
Chu secretly screamed that it was not good, and also changed tactics, wiped his eyes without tears, and said sadly: "I am Xiangling's own mother, how can I deduct from my granddaughter?" What's in it for my wife? Brother Chun is asking someone to discuss his marriage! We are from here, and Xiangling is pregnant at a glance, if we look for Langzhong, what should we do if we encounter a big mouth and a long tongue........"
"Then find a Lang Zhong who doesn't have a big tongue, if you don't understand this matter, I won't be able to sit in the right seat here."
Chu Lizheng entered the courtyard with an unsightly face.
Chu Lizheng's youngest son is about to get married, and today he invited his in-laws to discuss the matter of getting married, and he was eating happily, and the villagers came to deliver the letter.
Chu Li felt that his face was thrown into the village, and he couldn't wait to chop Chu and feed it to the dogs to relieve his hatred.
"Can't find Langzhong! Our family doesn't have the money to pay for the consultation! Chu resisted to the end.
Chu Lizheng flew over with an eye knife, and said coldly: "Chu Shi, you don't let you find Langzhong, is what Jiang said true, Xiangling is not pregnant at all, and you want to abandon her in order to save rations?" ”
Chu Lizheng has always been modest, and Chu is a relative who has not been out of five suits, usually calls Chu's "aunt", but today he changed his name to "Chu's", which shows that he is too angry.
The Chu family didn't dare to be angry, the official was small and powerful, and he paid taxes, paid grain, and opened the way to lead him alone.
Li Zheng must find Lang Zhong, Chu is not afraid at all, she is ten percent sure that the little fool is pregnant.
About the time of a pillar of incense, Zhou Langzhong invited, an old man with a gray beard and a solemn face.
In order to show justice, Chu Li is asking Zhou Langzhong to give Chu Xiangling a pulse in the middle of the courtyard in front of the whole village.
After finishing the pulse, Zhou Langzhong was extremely dissatisfied with Chu and said, "How did you become a milk?" My granddaughter is still a virgin, how can I see that she is pregnant? ”
Chu's shocked eyes were about to fall out: "Then what's going on with her stomach?" ”
Zhou Langzhong sighed and said, "I have been poisoned by eating hemp fruit for a long time." Count her fate, she detoxified the poison by herself, but she didn't die. I brought the Epsom Gold Recipe, just boil it and drink it. ”
"Eating hemp - fruit poisoning?" The whole village didn't expect this diagnosis.
Hemp-fruit is poisonous, adults and children know it, and they don't eat it, so the big guy forgot the symptoms after poisoning for a while, and no one thought of hemp fruit when Xiangling's belly was big.
When Chu Shi heard this, he immediately took the lead and scolded Jiang Shi: "You mother, how do you think of Xiangling, how did you make her eat hemp fruit by mistake?" ”
Jiang was scolded and said in a daze: "There are only hemp-fruit mountains on the mountain, Xiangling has been at home every day for the past year, how can she eat hemp-fruit?" ”
A villager said to Chu Lizheng: "The Chu family has hemp-fruit, so they hid it in the firewood stack, and they were kicked over by Li Er when he was fighting the fire, and many people saw .........it."
The villagers all looked at the Chu family, because the fire of the granddaughter was the first, and everyone preconceived that it was the Chu family who gave the poison, and the poisoning was not just a family matter, but a business affair managed by the county magistrate.
"It's not me, it's not me! It must be the hemp-fruit that the little fool eats himself! ”
Hearing "hemp-fruit", Xiangling, who was nested in Jiang's arms, grinned and smirked: "Hemp-fruit, hemp-fruit, eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, change nests, eat meat and ........"
Although the fool is stupid, his words are also the most true, which probably means that the three cousins of the big house and the third room tricked her into eating the hemp fruit.
"Nonsense!" Chu Chun, the lobby brother, said with annoyance: "I only have a few nests with her, and I have never let her eat hemp-fruit!" ”
Jiang was shocked: "Xiangling has a nest of rations a day, you take it, what does she eat?" ”
Chu Chun replied to her lips and hunger: "It was her voluntary, begging me to give her a big bone and exchange it for twenty nests." It must be the third and fourth children who tricked her into exchanging hemp fruits for nest heads. ”
Jiang's tears rolled in his eyes.
Chu Xiangxiu of Dafang married a butcher and often took off a lot of pig bones, and Dafang can often open a small stove and drink big bone broth.
After Chu Xia broke his leg, Jiang heard that he ate big bones to make up for bones, so he cheekily asked Liu, but Liu not only didn't give it, but also made a sarcasm to Liu.
Xiangling was next to her at the time, probably because she wanted big bones to make her brother's legs heal quickly.
