Chapter 9 Indemnity

Looking at Liu Tiezhu and Liu Tiedan, who fled in a gray manner, Liu Guiyuan trembled and sighed deeply. She used ten percent of her strength to beat someone just now, but now when she relaxes, her whole body is soft.

found the broken net head in the grass, checked it, fortunately the net head was not broken, and then picked up the overturned basket under the Huashi River, Liu Guiyuan walked home step by step.

If you guessed correctly, within a moment, Liu Yao's or the second aunt would have to come to her to ask her about the guilt, and she, the party and the victim, would have to deal with it at home, right?

Sure enough, before she washed her feet at home, Liu Yao took her grandson Liu Tiedan, and came over violently, I really admired her little feet, and in order to vent her anger for her grandson, she twisted out a tiger.

With a shout, Liu Yao's began to quarrel: "Dead girl, you are dead, why do you have nothing to do to beat your brother?" Do you see what it looks like? You're tired of being alive, aren't you, ask your parents to come and have a look! ”

Liu Yao's launched Liu Tiedan like an exhibition of "treasures", only to see that there was no good meat on his exposed skin, either red or green, and there was a cut on his face, which he thought was scraped by a stick.

Liu Chongshan happened to be at home at this time, and he came out when he heard the sound, and before he squeaked, Liu Yao slapped him with a head and face: "You bastard, how do you usually teach children?" Call that useless girl to beat the golden grandson of my Liu family, do you have a light on your face......"

Liu Chongshan didn't dare to fight back when he was scolded, and when he saw that the iron eggs of his second brother's family were beaten badly, he really had fire in his heart, and yelled at Liu Guiyuan, who was standing on the side: "You beat your brother with a plague in your brain?" ”

Liu Guiyuan snorted, quietly glanced at Liu Chongshan who was in the nest, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it's wrong for me to beat the iron egg, and it stands to reason that you can't beat me too much." However, the iron egg pushed me down into the Huashi River before, causing me to almost drown, my mother was born prematurely, how can this account be calculated? ”

Liu Tiedan also realized at this time that he had leaked his mouth before, and denied it in a panic: "No, I didn't push, I didn't see her at all, she was!" ”

He was playing near East Lake at the time, and happened to see Liu Guiyuan, a fool running around, so he pointed to Huashihe and asked her to play there, but after playing for a while, Liu Guiyuan went crazy and bit him, and he pushed her in a fit of anger, and then went home.

", who's, I heard what you said with my own ears, do you dare to swear?" Liu Guiyuan pointed to Liu Tiedan's nose and asked, then looked at Liu Yao's and said: "Milk, he can push me into the river at such a young age, his heart is bad, if he doesn't beat him like this, he won't become a murderer when he grows up!" ”

Liu Yao's didn't believe it at all, in her opinion, her grandson was all good, how could she do such a thing, even if it was true, it wasn't intentional, so she scolded her loudly:

"How do you talk about a dead girl, he's your brother, how did he become a murderer? Old man, do you stuff donkey hair in your ears, pretending not to hear? Such a girl, don't beat me to death! ”

Liu Chongshan really listened to his mother's words when he heard that he was going to beat his daughter, and he was about to roll up his sleeves when he reached out, Liu Guiyuan had already guarded against him, a traitor father, trotted five or six meters away, and shouted in the direction of the neighbor next door:

"Come and see, everyone, my grandmother is going to kill someone, come and see!"

With Liu Guiyuan's clear voice shouting, several families living close to each other heard the movement and came over, now it is not a busy farming, the villagers will stay at home and rest when they have free time, and this is just the right time to see the excitement.

Liu Guiyuan saw that there were a lot of people coming, so he cleared his throat and continued: "Everyone is commenting, his Liu Tiedan pushed me into the river before, and almost gave up my life, and today he hit me with a stone, I was so angry that I beat him, should I be beaten?" ”

Several neighbors listened to Liu Guiyuan's words, and they started to talk about it, and one of them said: "Oh, his longan is really good, and his speech is really sharp." The other rolled his eyes and said: "People talk about Tie Dan pushing people, you can't talk about the point, if you want me to say, Tie Dan that kid should really be beaten, half of the boy doesn't learn well, and he is naughty and mischievous." ”

"My iron egg, my baby, who will beat you? Let her have sores on the soles of her head and pus on the soles of her feet......"

With a ghost crying wolf howl, the second aunt (Li Qiufang), who had just come back from the field, heard Tie Zhu say that Tie Dan was beaten, so she ran over without drinking saliva, and sat on the ground crying and scolding.

Liu Guiyuan saw that the heavyweight second aunt was coming, smiled at her, and preemptively said: "Second aunt, you are here, you have to be the master of your niece, Tie Dan pushed me into the river last time, causing me, my mother and little sister to almost die, I want to go to the government to sue him and tell him to go to prison." ”

What, go to the government to sue the iron egg? The second aunt Li was startled when she heard the word "official", and she didn't dare to scold loudly, so she only said loudly: "What's the matter, you can't talk nonsense, my family is an honest child, what are you doing to beat him?" yes, what did you do with him? ”

"Then you ask Tiedan, it's okay, why do I want to beat him?" Liu Guiyuan pointed to Liu Tiedan, who was hiding behind Liu Yao's family, and asked.

"I hit you with a stone, and if you don't ask you to catch black snails, you splash me with dirty water, and I will push you into the river, and I don't blame you?" Liu Tiedan was also aggrieved, and hurriedly complained to her mother.

Liu Guiyuan slapped his hands twice and said: "Hey, yes, that's the reason, because he couldn't eat the black snails I caught, he pushed me down into the Huashi River, I couldn't swim so much, and I almost drowned in the river for the second time!" ”

Liu Guiyuan glared at Liu Tiedan fiercely, walked directly to the second aunt Li, and continued: "Second aunt, this is not the first time, he pushed me last time I fell into the river, and in the end, if my mother hadn't saved me, I wouldn't know where to bury my body?" Do you think I should beat him, should I send him to prison? ”

Liu Guiyuan walked up to Liu Yao's again, pointed at Liu Tiedan and said to her grandmother: "Milk, Liu Tiedan made a mistake, you didn't care about teaching him, and instructed my father to beat me, you are too partial!" He is so small, his heart is so poisonous, if you and the second aunt don't beat him again, this matter will not be over today! ”

Seeing this, Liu Tiedan cried out with a "wow", and was about to climb up by dragging Liu Yao's legs, crying while crawling: "Milk, don't beat me, I'm obedient, don't push her into the river again, don't send me to prison......"

At this time, the fourth grandmother, the nearest neighbor, was the old man who helped Liu Guiyuan spit out the water in her abdomen that day, she and Liu Yao's acquaintance, counting up, the two families were related to each other, and took the initiative to say to Liu Yao's:

"Cuilan, your grandson has to take care of it, when she went back to her little girl, her body was cold, and she didn't have any heat at all, if I hadn't spit water on her with the soil method, she would have really died."

Liu Yao's old face, at this time, called the fourth grandmother, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

She raised her slap and shook it, but she was not willing to be ruthless, she only fell lightly on Liu Tiedan's back, and said angrily: "What are you doing pushing her for, you can't play with you at home?" Go, come home with me! ”

Liu Yao took Liu Tiedan's hand and was about to leave, but was stopped by Liu Guiyuan and said, "Hey, hey, don't be busy leaving, the matter hasn't been resolved yet, and you're going home?" ”

Liu Yao crossed his waist, looked at her angrily, and said, "You little girl, endlessly, beaten and scolded, what else do you want?" ”

Liu Guiyuan also learned from her waist and said with a smile: "I don't care how you beat him and scold him, that's your matter as an elder, I now ask you for compensation and damages, 20 catties of white flour and 20 catties of millet, and 100 eggs, one less, I will report to the official!" ”

"What, twenty catties of white flour, twenty catties of millet, and a hundred eggs, why don't you grab them?" The second aunt Li was in pain when she heard this, and hurriedly shouted.

Liu Yao's nostrils were smoky, and he wiped his head, and he said no without looking at her, and pulled Liu Tiedan to go home as he spoke.

"Let's go, I won't delay my report to the official, I will leave to the county government today to report, tomorrow before noon, there will be an official messenger to get iron eggs, and when the time comes, I will be beaten in the hall first, and I will be beaten until the skin and flesh will bloom, and then I will be thrown into the prison and squatted, and I will not be given food." Liu Guiyuan did not stop it, but stood aside and made a gesture of invitation.

In fact, how does she know where the door of the county government is opened, and as for the official messenger who can come to arrest people the next day, this is Liu Guiyuan's nonsense, but even these few flawed words are enough to fool Liu Yao's family.

Rural farmers, ordinary people, what they are most afraid of is the government, generally you are not forced to a desperate situation, and no one wants to go to the government to complain.

Sure enough, Liu Tiedan was so frightened by what Liu Guiyuan said that he screamed wow, and he didn't let go of her milk while holding her milk, shouting in his mouth: "Give it to her, give it to her, don't call her to report to the official." ”

Liu Yao was so anxious that he handed his grandson, who couldn't hold it, to Li on the side, turned his head and pointed at Liu Chongshan and scolded: "Look at how capable she is, as soon as she asks for so many things, if she doesn't give it, she has to report to the official, is this still a family?" No need to make outsiders laugh! ”

Liu Chongshan on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, so he got the instructions of his mother, frowned and began to train her: "Okay, just beat the iron egg if you are disobedient, what kind of official do you report, what kind of white-faced millet do you want?" Besides, you're not good now, haven't you drowned? ”

Liu Guiyuan had expected Liu Chongshan to be so biased, and said angrily: "Dad, you see that I am fine now, but my mother is here?" And my little sister? My mother hurt her body, how to make up for her body if she doesn't eat something good, her body can't make up for it, how to give birth to a little brother! ”

Seeing that Liu Chongshan was somewhat convinced, she continued to add fuel to the fire quietly, and said: "Dad, I went to the town today to listen to people say that the better a woman eats, the stronger her body, and the more she can give birth to a son." Think about it, if my mother finally gave birth to a younger brother, but she was like a lotus seed, sick, what do you say? ”

Sure enough, when Liu Chongshan heard her say this, he felt more and more reasonable, he remembered the strong figure of the Li family, didn't he give birth to three sons in a row?

So he coughed loudly, turned his head to his mother and said, "Mother, Guiyuan has a great temperament, I can't control it, you can watch it, after all, if it weren't for the iron egg, the child would have been born prematurely?" If you are born at term, you may be a boy. ”

After Liu Chongshan said this, he didn't look at her mother, and went into the house with his head down.

Outside the house, there was only Liu Guiyuan, Liu Yao's three people, and neighbors who gathered outside to watch the excitement.

Liu Yao and Li didn't make a move, and in the end, under the persuasion of the fourth grandmother, both parties took a step back and reduced the compensation to 12 catties of white flour, 12 catties of millet and 60 eggs, and agreed to send them before evening.

As soon as Liu Yao's three left, Liu Guiyuan thanked the fourth grandmother who had helped with a smile, and walked happily into the house, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang's holding lotus seeds, leaning against the outer wall with teary eyes, I don't know how long he has been standing.

That night, Liu Yao's side really sent a few things for compensation, and Liu Guiyuan cooked a pot of thick white rice porridge that night, and the family was full.

After the meal, Liu Guiyuan quietly asked Zhang's, and with her acquiescence, he sent half white flour and half a catty of millet to the fourth grandmother's house to thank her for her kindness twice.
