Chapter 22: Hanging

"Mother, Mrs. Li is against you all day long. Her daughter-in-law is not a good one, chewing her tongue in the village all day long. This time, I can't cure her problem, and our family is afraid of her. The Zhang family in the third room crossed his waist, obviously dissatisfied with the people of the Qian family for a long time.

"But can the county lord take care of it? What if, in case the Qian family seeks death? "Dafang Zhou is an honest person, and honest people think about problems from the worst

Mrs. Han had an idea and beckoned her little daughter-in-law to come to her side. After saying two words in her ear, Zhang's eyes lit up, and he praised with admiration: "Mother, you are really good." That's a great idea. ”

After speaking, she covered her face and howled in her throat: "Oh no, my mother hanged herself." Qian family, I fought with you......"

Zhang ran out of the house with his throat covering his face and howling in mourning, and went straight to Qian's house.

The eldest aunt Zhou couldn't react at all, and stupidly circled in place: "Who hanged himself?" Who hanged himself? ”

Han Beiqing instantly understood her grandmother's thoughts, and hurriedly helped the old lady to lie on the bed, and said to her aunt Zhou: "Auntie, find a piece of cotton cloth to soak in water and put it on your grandmother's head." ”

Zhou has always been stupid, and there are thousands of people in his heart who don't understand, but he also knows that he shouldn't ask at this time. In a hurry, I went to the washstand to get my mother-in-law's face cloth. Throw it in the washbasin and rinse it, twist it indiscriminately and hand it to Han Beiqing.

At this time, Mrs. Han was lying down and moaning out of breath: "Alas.... "But it looks like he's terminally ill."

It's a pity that the rag twisted by the eldest aunt Zhou was so wet that it actually dripped down the old lady's face. The angry old lady Han pulled the rag off her forehead in annoyance, sat up and scolded Zhou for being a wooden head while wringing water by herself.

"The grandmother pretended to hang herself, and the third aunt went to the Qian family to settle the score. Because the daughter-in-law of the Li family chewed her tongue, her grandmother couldn't live. Han Beiqing reluctantly explained to his aunt.

"Oh, that's what scared the hell out of me." Zhou patted his chest, and saw that Han Beiqing had been staring at him, and touched his face with a puzzled expression: "See what I do?" Something on the face? ”

"Auntie, your mother-in-law hanged herself. You just do it and watch it, and you don't react at all? Han Beiqing stared at Zhou meaningfully, but Zhou still couldn't react: "Then what should I do?" ”

"You have to cry, you really can't cry, you can't stand stupidly and don't react, no." Seeing that Han Beiqing said too gently, Mrs. Han scolded her eldest daughter-in-law at the top of her voice: "You can't wait for me to die, right?" Why can you laugh out loud when I'm dead? If you laugh, I'll take a look first! ”

Only then did Zhou realize it, covered his face and cried loudly: "Mother, you can't leave our mother behind." If you don't live, what will we do? ”

Han Beiqing was frightened by Zhou's bright cry, but he didn't expect her voice to be so loud. And crying is particularly professional, much like the funeral industry in later generations.

Zhou's crying is frustrated, and he can sing a play with suona. Seeing her so powerful, Han Beiqing breathed a sigh of relief. I went to the kitchen and found a head of garlic and smeared it with garlic juice in the corner of my eyes. Soon the tears fell uncontrollably, and she went to the next door with red eyes to call someone.

"Auntie, my grandmother hanged herself, and she is looking for death at home. Go and persuade them. Han Beiqing cried from house to house, calling all the neighbors on the street to their homes.

Soon everyone in the village knew that the old widow Han Pozi, who was going to be strong all her life, was hanged by the stupid woman who loved to chew her tongue.

Several women of the Han family cooperated in acting in a play and did not tell the men in the family. Han Xiucai's brothers were helping out at the village chief's house, and when they heard about it, they hurriedly ran back.

The third elder of the Han family had the fastest legs, and when he saw many people around the door, his feet were so weak that he almost fell on his heels. When I entered the hall, I saw the old lady Han wearing a white cloth on top of her head from a distance.

shouted: "Mother, my son is not filial, and he is late to come back." ”

After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and cried bitterly after kowtowing. And Han Xiucai, who arrived at the door immediately after, and his eldest brother Han Boss mistakenly thought that the old lady had lost her breath.

The two brothers were so grief-stricken that they knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

In an instant, the neighbors who gathered outside to watch the excitement thought that Mrs. Han was angry with Mrs. Qian's daughter-in-law.

Zhou, the youngest daughter-in-law of the Han family, dragged the daughter-in-law of the Qian family into the door in annoyance, and saw Han Xiucai and the two crying with grief.

She was stunned, clutching her neckline and trembling with fright. The heart said: The old lady has always been as strong as a man, could it be that she really hanged herself here?

Just to give the descendants of the Han family a clean reputation? Zhou's face showed a faint hint of admiration. But after thinking about it, if the old lady is gone, what will happen to this family in the future?

At this time, the Zhou family panicked, if the old lady really died, wouldn't all the money in the family be taken away by others when she was not there? Thinking of this, Zhou couldn't cry and ran into the hall to see Mrs. Han.

"Mother, mother, why did you go like this."

"How can we live as a family? Let me go with you. ”

Zhou's is much more clever than his sister-in-law, and now there are people inside and outside the yard, and everyone's eyes are staring. Zhou's crying was dark, and the crying Mrs. Han herself was moved.

"Sister-in-law of the Han family, your daughter-in-law is filial. She didn't know that you had recovered her breath, and she really thought you were dead. The surrounding neighbors praised Zhou's tsk, and Mrs. Han nodded with satisfaction: "The three daughters-in-law are the most filial to her." I know what to do. ”

Hearing these words in the ears of the eldest daughter-in-law, her face was hot, and she wanted to argue but couldn't speak. I only hate that I can't compare to my brother and daughter-in-law, she can actually fake it.

Zhou was out of breath crying, and heard Mrs. Li's hoarse voice like a crow's cry: "Isn't that old woman dead, what are you howling here?" ”

Zhou covered his eyes and cried abruptly, and when he raised his head, he saw that Mrs. Han was looking at him vigorously. In a hurry, Zhou knelt on the ground and crawled to Mrs. Han, hugging Mrs. Han's thigh: "Mother, you are not dead, great, really good." ”

"I wasn't angry with that long-tongued woman, but I was also considered long-lived." Old Mrs. Han looked at Mrs. Li standing in the hall and smiled coldly.

"Cut, aren't you dead? Why are you going to my house to cry, Mrs. Qian, your daughter-in-law has to be taught well. "Mrs. Han's maiden name is Qian, and Granny Li boasts that she is an old acquaintance with her, and she is the only one who has called Mrs. Qian for decades.

"Mother is not dead?" The two sons who were kneeling and crying outside the house heard the voice of the old lady. Excitedly got up and rushed into the house.

Holding Mrs. Han's thighs, the brothers cried earth-shatteringly.......
