Chapter 25: Leaving Two as Daughters-in-law
Liang Xiao had already made up lies for Ling Niang to prevaricate.
"Oh, on the way to Shangjing, I was robbed by thieves, and everyone was killed, I had a good life, I met this big brother who bought me, and now he is my husband, oh, no, it's my eldest man." After Ling Niang finished speaking, she introduced the group to his family one by one.
That's the benefit of not having TV, no photos, no internet, and no newspapers.
The common people and those petty officials have believed in the emperor all their lives, but they don't even know what the emperor looks like until he dies.
No one knows what the prince looks like.
Even if Shangjing is turned upside down, because there is no communication, the common people still don't know anything.
His parents saw Liang Xiao carrying a large bag of fish in his hand.
Immediately, his eyes glowed with a greedy green light.
The one-eyed old woman finally smiled.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'm going to stew the fish, and let's eat it together. ”
If you don't wash it, you can go directly to the stoneware pot, add water and sprinkle it with a little salt and start simmering.
Liang Xiao glanced around, and the poor were definitely enough.
Before the fish was cooked, the old woman and the old man couldn't see the meat all year round, and they didn't care whether their faces looked good or not, so they ate it in the pot.
After dinner, it became a problem to live in, and there was a room and a kang in total.
When Liang Xiao entered the door, he saw that there was still a firewood room, so he offered to go to the firewood room to live.
The old woman and her wife didn't say anything, and Liang Xiao and his party of 4 went to clean up the firewood room by themselves, and they didn't even have extra bedding, so they could only lay some hay.
Finally there is a place to stay, Liang Xiao plans to catch some fish tomorrow and sell it for money, and then build a simple thatched house first.
The poor in the countryside could not afford to light an oil lamp, and they had to go to bed as soon as it got dark.
When he slept in the middle of the night, Liang Xiao suddenly felt that someone was touching him, and he woke up smartly.
When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be Hanazawa Hime.
"I'm going to the thatched house, it's dark outside, it's weird and scary, you go with me." Hua Zeji whispered in Liang Xiao's ear.
Seeing Ling Niang and Yun Xiu sleeping with Zhengxiang, Liang Xiao got up gently and accompanied Hua Zeji to the thatched house.
As soon as Hua Zeji entered the thatched house and squatted down, Liang Xiao heard footsteps coming from a distance.
When I looked up, it turned out to be the two men he had beaten.
Quickly dodge and hide in the shadows.
Oh no, these two men can't be Ling Niang's brothers, right?
After the two men entered the house, Liang Xiao took Hua Zeji to the window to eavesdrop.
The two men are indeed Ling Niang's eldest brother and second brother.
Ling Niang's eldest brother pressed his throat and said angrily.
"Dad, mother, when you picked up Ling Niang's girl, didn't you just be a daughter-in-law for our brothers, it's good now, let a poor boy pick it up, and that kid also beat our brothers, ruining our good deeds."
The second brother also followed the number of complaining and resentful old couples.
"I want to touch Ling Niang, you won't let me, it's good now, let the family break the melon."
The old woman said.
"Son, it's not that my mother won't let you touch it, Ling Niang has long been targeted by the ground security, and told me that Ling Niang will enter the palace draft when she grows up, and if she breaks the melon, she will kill the head of our whole family."
After a moment of silence.
The eldest brother said fiercely in his throat.
"Kill that poor boy and snatch his nets, and we will be able to live a good life by fishing and selling for money."
The second brother immediately echoed excitedly.
"Yes, kill that poor boy and three women, we will keep two as daughters-in-law, and the remaining one will be sold."
There was silence again.
The old man snorted in a suppressed voice.
"Don't let him scream when you two start, your mother and I will go to the back mountain to dig a pit, and after you die, drag it over and bury it directly."
Liang Xiao felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, and hurriedly returned to the firewood room with Hua Zeji.
Woke up Ling Niang and told her everything she had heard.
Ling Niang was like being hit by five thunders, she didn't believe anything, and her tears kept flowing down.
Liang Xiao felt sorry for Ling Niang, so he wanted to take a few women and leave quickly.
Even if he is an adoptive father and adoptive mother, after all, he raised Ling Niang since he was a child, and Liang Xiao didn't want to kill her relatives in front of her.
But it's too late to leave.
The two brothers were so anxious that they would kill when they said they would kill, one with a firewood knife and the other with a rope, and tiptoed towards the firewood room.
Through the faint moonlight, Ling Niang saw his two brothers through the gap, and walked towards the firewood room with hideous faces, so shocked that she almost screamed.
In a hurry, he knelt down in front of Liang Xiao and pleaded in a low voice with tears streaming down his face.
"Husband, please don't kill them, please."
Liang Xiao nodded lightly.
"I promise you, if you don't kill them, knock them both unconscious, and we'll leave."
Ling Niang gratefully kowtowed to Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao was distressed and hurriedly helped Ling Niang up: "You are my daughter-in-law, you don't need to be like this." ”
While speaking, the two brothers had already walked to the door of the firewood room.
I listened with my ears pricked up.
Then he opened the door of the firewood room and walked into the firewood room one after the other.
Before he could see it clearly, he was knocked unconscious to the ground by Liang Xiao Bangbang Bang
"Let's go." Liang Xiao greeted softly, and walked out with Hua Zeji and Yun Xiu first.
Ling Niang glanced at the two brothers lying on the ground, sighed, and then walked out with them.
Hanazawa Ji whispered to Liang Xiao as she walked.
"Husband, since Ling Niang was picked up by those two old kings and eight calves, you should ask, who are Ling Niang's biological parents?"
Liang Xiao glanced at Ling Niangdao.
"Ling Niang, do you want to ask who your biological parents are?"
Ling Niang raised her head in a complicated mood and asked pitifully.
"You're not going to embarrass them, are you?"
Liang Xiao shook his head. "Don't worry, I won't embarrass them."
Ling Niang's tears flowed down.
"Okay, then I'll go see them one last time and never come back."
Liang Xiao nodded and walked towards the back mountain with the three of them.
Approaching the back mountain, I saw the old couple digging a pit at the foot of the mountain.
Ling Niang was grief-stricken, and it was difficult to accept that her family would be like this.
When the old man heard the voice, he looked back and saw that it was Liang Xiao, and he suddenly trembled.
Seeing that the matter was revealed, he immediately raised his hoe and smashed it viciously on Liang Xiao's head.
"Dad, don't." Ling Niang screamed in fright.
Boom!
"Ahh
Liang Xiao flew up and kicked the old man unconscious.
Ling Niang rushed forward, hugged Liang Xiao's thigh tightly, and pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"Husband, please don't kill my father, no matter what, he also has the grace of nurturing me."
The matter has come to this point, Liang Xiao just wants to solve the matter as soon as possible: "Don't worry, I won't kill him." ”
Turning to the old woman, she asked.
"Say, who is Ling Niang's biological mother?"
The old woman glared at a scarlet eye and howled.
"You beat my wife, I'll fight with you!"
Raise the wooden shovel and slash it down on Liang Xiao's head like crazy!
