Chapter 21: Two Chairs

After Liu Guiyuan finished eating the snail noodles, he thought that he hadn't done anything serious, so he got up and was about to leave, and asked him before leaving: "By the way, Brother Sun, do you know where Sangyu Village is from?" ”

"Sangyu Village? It's not close to here, you walk south along the Qinghe River, walk to the wharf in the southeast corner, and then walk about four miles east to Sangyu Village. Sun Jingxuan brought her a bowl of water and asked casually: "Where are you from afar, where are you going to do a little girl?" Relatives? ”

Liu Guiyuan thought about it and told him that he was going to Sangyu Village for his eldest sister to inquire about Wang Feisan. Sun Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the fair-skinned Liu Hongjube was about to get married, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, he couldn't think about why, and hurriedly suggested to her: "Why don't I drive the donkey car to you?" Otherwise, it will be dark when you return to the village. ”

Of course, Liu Guiyuan was happy to hear that there was a car to sit on, but he was worried about delaying the business in his store, so Sun Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "Now the meal has just passed, even if there are not many guests, I will just ask my mother and younger brother to take a look." ”

Liu Guiyuan had nothing to say at this time, and quickly got into his donkey cart, walked south, crossed the southwest wharf, and walked a little longer, and the two of them finally arrived at Sangyu Village. Sangyu Village looks really good from the outside, with flat dirt roads and slightly neat houses, and the villagers' clothes generally look better than those in Huashi Village.

When he got out of the car at the place, Liu Guiyuan saw a few villagers passing by, who were living in their hearts, and then Sun Jingxuan on the side spoke: "If you want to say that I, an outsider, shouldn't meddle in your family's affairs, but it's a big deal for men and women to look at each other, why don't I also help you ask?" Look, you little girl, most of the people in the village won't reply to you when you ask this kind of thing, what do you say? ”

Liu Guiyuan was worried about this, she was not even eight years old, she opened her mouth to ask Wang Fei how the three of them were suitable for marriage, the other party really didn't want her, maybe she still thought she was a psychopath. If she asks her peers, the little girl may not understand the Tao here, thinking of this, Liu Guiyuan felt that Sun Jingxuan was quite reliable, and decided to ask with him.

Under the big elm tree at the head of the village, there was a middle-aged couple grinding wheat, and Sun Jingxuan naturally walked over to greet him: "What about you grinding wheat?" Fell to the ground. So saying, he bent down and gathered the wheat together and laid it on the large millstone.

The middle-aged woman on the other end of the mill smiled and said, "Oh, I really didn't see it, thank you." Sun Jingxuan leaned to the side and pulled the two of them, saying for a while that it was not easy to harvest wheat, and for a while the new wheat was delicious, this year's field tax was not high, and I felt that the conversation was almost over, and entered the topic: "I want to ask you about a person, surnamed Wang, called Wang Feisan, in his twenties, is it from this village?" ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyelids to look at him, then nodded, said that there was indeed such a person in the village, and asked, "Are you looking for him?" Sun Jingxuan said that he heard that Sangyu Village was rich and wanted to marry his cousin, and the matchmaker recommended several young men, including one named Wang Feisan, who said that his family was rich and good-looking, so he wanted to inquire.

"Hey, young man, you still have to look for more, Wang Feisan can't do it, they all say that he is a little ....." The middle-aged woman quickly gestured an orchid finger, and before she could speak, her man glared at her and stopped her: "What nonsense!" Then he explained to Sun Jingxuan with a smile: "Hey, if you listen to my woman's nonsense, the woman's family will talk nonsense, Wang Feisan is not familiar with this person, you can find someone else to inquire?" ”

Liu Guiyuan sighed, there must be something here, she and Sun Jingxuan quickly exchanged a look, looked at the middle-aged man pitifully and said: "Uncle and aunt, you don't know, my cousin's life is hard, she works all day and night, and only eats one porridge a day, and my cousin's newly married cousin whips her with a branch every day, and my cousin wants to die several times." This is not a month someone came to the door to say that the matchmaker, my cousin heard that the bride price is thirty taels, and without saying a word, she will be allowed to go out, and my brother and I are afraid that people will have problems, so I came to inquire. ”

Sun Jingxuan glanced at her strangely, but did not say a word, the middle-aged woman was fascinated by it, wiped her tears with one hand, and said while crying: "Why is your cousin miserable?" The old saying is true, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, which is really good, men are not good things! After speaking, she glanced at her man, her man didn't react, she didn't give up and glared again, her man was completely out of luck, and said: "I didn't want to talk about it, it's all from the same village, I don't look up and look down, and if I break someone's marriage, I have to be scolded." ”

Sun Jingxuan hurriedly promised when he heard this, and he would never say who told him, the middle-aged man only then spoke, and told what he knew, and his mother-in-law added from time to time, and heard Liu Guiyuan and Sun Jingxuan's faces full of seriousness, and finally the two of them thanked Sangyu Village with a tense face.

Sun Jingxuan drove the donkey cart directly to Liu Guiyuan to Huashi Village, and then went to the town.

When he got home, Liu Chongshan happened to water in front of the gourd seedlings, and saw Liu Guiyuan coming home and said: "What are you running out of the sky, your eldest sister is going to see your relatives soon, how many of you still clean up the house and call people to see the joke?" ”

A broken earth house is divided into three small rooms, no matter how you clean it up, it is still a broken earth house, and there is not even a decent yard, no wonder Liu Chongshan wants the bride price to build a house, but he doesn't know that his big house and new house are built on the happiness of his eldest daughter!

Liu Guiyuan walked up to Liu Chongshan with a tense face, grabbed two gourd seedlings in front of him, threw them on the ground, and said: "You look forward to your son every day, now it's okay, not only do you have no son, but the person who told your eldest daughter can't give birth to a son, hey, you don't have a son!" ”

Liu Chongshan saw his beloved gourd broken and thrown on the ground, and before he could figure out what was going on, Liu Guiyuan followed up with a tone that he didn't have a son, and he was so angry that he suddenly became angry, thinking that she was crazy, and pulled out a branch from the fence to whip her: "Okay, you dead child, are you crazy or stupid, I don't think you want to live anymore!" ”

At the same time as Liu Chongshan started beating people, Liu Hongjube and Liu Huahua hurriedly rushed over to stop them when they heard the sound, one protected Liu Guiyuan to retreat, and the other stopped Liu Chongshan not to fight. ”

Liu Hongzao heard the taste, and hurriedly said to her: "Guiyuan, just say whatever you say, don't let my father misunderstand, Dad, don't do it first, listen to what Guiyuan says." ”

Liu Guiyuan sorted out his mood, pointed to the hall and motioned for the family to go inside and said that the stick in Liu Chongshan's hand had not let go, and it was estimated that if Liu Guiyuan did not have a suitable reason, he would beat her half to death.

After entering the hall, Liu Guiyuan did not hesitate anymore, and inquired about Sangyu Village, and said it like a bamboo tube pouring beans. It turned out that this Wang Fei was not in tune when he was three years old, he liked to hang out with a few men outside the village, and he also liked to rub powder and warp orchid fingers when he was fine, and he was famous in Sangyu Village at that time, and the villagers privately called him the second chair, which means a person who is neither male nor female.

Later, Wang Feisan's parents couldn't stand it anymore, and when they saw those men coming to the village, they went out to chase them, Wang Feisan made trouble at home, and his parents bought a girl outside to serve him in order to correct his problem. It is said that since then, Wang Feisan has indeed stopped making trouble, and began to whip people, and the child daughter-in-law was tortured by him for three years, and finally said that she was infected and died, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that she was beaten to death by the surname Wang.

After Liu Guiyuan finished speaking, the room was quiet for a moment, and the first to react was the Zhang family who was holding the child, she didn't have time to put down the child and turned her head to hit Liu Chongshan on the side, crying and scolding: "Can I ask you to inquire?" You have to see your relatives when you have a mouth, who doesn't inquire in advance and then call someone to the door? ”

Whenever you see your relatives, the parents of both sides must have inquired in advance, and the so-called daughters hid to take a look and poured tea when they took a fancy to it, it was all a formality, and both parties tacitly knew it. Only in rare cases will I regret it on the day of the kiss, which will happen when the man or woman behaves so badly that they can't get on the stage.

Liu Chongshan really didn't know about this, so he didn't guard against causing Zhang to fall to the ground, but complained to Zhang: "No, you keep saying that this person is okay?" How can I have time to inquire carefully, I have been so busy these days that my feet do not touch the ground, so I heard that the third brother and the third brother and daughter-in-law all said that people can be. ”

His third brother and the Lin family are two people, and they must be talking to their daughter-in-law, can they tell you that this person can't do it? This Liu Chongshan is really not responsible for his daughter.

Liu Hongzao was stunned at the moment, her mind was full of Liu Guiyuan's sentence "There is no good meat on her body", and when she thought of the child daughter-in-law who was abused to death, she couldn't help but tremble. Liu Huahua saw that something was wrong with her sister, and hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, are you okay, why are you trembling?" Mother, come and see, something is wrong with the eldest sister. ”

Zhang hurriedly ran over to see, Liu Guiyuan took the child in her arms, sent it to the back room first, and when she came out, she heard the eldest sister Liu Hongzao say to Zhang: "Mother, I think about it, I don't marry, I don't put my family on hold, I rely on myself to support myself until I am old, if anyone forces me, I will die headlong." ”

The rabbit was anxious and bit people, and Liu Hongjuo, who has always been weak and honest, was completely heartbroken this time, and even said something that she would die if she didn't want to.

Zhang looked at the empty eyes of the eldest daughter, and was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "I don't force you to marry, no one forces you to marry, ah?" Liu Chongshan was not happy to hear this, and said loudly: "What can you do if you don't get married, whose daughter won't marry when she is old?" Oh, they all stay at home as old girls, and the people in the village don't laugh at your father and me? ”

When is it, Liu Chongshan's first thought is his face.

"Besides, who knows your sister can ask wrong? How can this good offspring be a second chair? Don't be a child who won't inquire, just happened to meet someone who has an enmity with the Wang family talking nonsense, right? ”

Liu Chongshan still didn't believe it, the third brother and daughter-in-law also grew up watching red dates, so she wouldn't harm her niece like this, right?

"Second sister, let's go, follow me to the third aunt's house, do you want to ask once, if she dares to lie, I won't spare her!"
