Chapter 13: Repentance
The atmosphere in the courtyard was very dreary.
A quarter of an hour later, the old men who had been invited by Dashan Xiaoshan entered the courtyard together.
He Lao Er sat in the courtyard with a golden knife, looking right, as if everyone owed him.
Li Zheng, the clan elders and Mrs. He exchanged a few words.
Knowing the reason for today's incident, several people looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
The patriarch of the He family stood up, "Second He, you must already know that you are not the biological son of Old Madam He, and you still think that Old He Tou is the murderer.
Today, I'm going to tell you the truth of the matter in front of the big guys.
When your father went hunting with the people in their village, he met a blind bear in the mountains, and your father was seriously injured by the blind bear, and the people in the same village with your father gave up on him and fled for their lives.
Your father and Lao Hetou are very good friends, at that time, Lao Hetou risked his life to save your father from the hands of the blind bear, but your father was too seriously injured, and he kept holding on until your mother gave birth to you and wanted to see you.
But your mother left due to hemorrhage in childbirth, and when your father was dying, he could only entrust you to Lao Hetou when he was still in infancy.
Lao Hetou understands the situation of your father's family, agrees to your father, and promises to treat you like a parent.
After bringing you back, I didn't treat his children differently from each other, and we have seen it all these years.
But what about you? is really a white-eyed wolf, the He family treats you like a parent, raises you as an adult, gives you a wife and children, and on the contrary, you want to put the person who has the grace to raise you to death.
You bastard, I'm going to remove you from our He family's genealogy today. ”
He Lao Er's face was full of excitement, and he suddenly stood up from the chair, "You are all one ancestor, of course you cover each other, and you want to remove me, then I will first make your entire He family lose face." ”
The patriarch immediately laughed angrily.
He sighed and pointed to one of the people in the crowd, "Do you know the true relationship between your mother-in-law and you?" ”
"Don't sell it, I know it's my aunt."
"That's right! She is your own cousin, your father's cousin, but do you know why your father let Lao Hetou take you away instead of leaving it to your grandparents to raise? ”
"All this you said is just to sow discord and excuse Old Man He."
"It's true that he is your cousin, but she is the child born to your father's stepmother, and they can't even tolerate your father, do you think you can survive in the hands of your step-grandmother?
You can ask about things that you can ask clearly, but you are only willing to believe one person.
Today, I simply said a happy thing at one time, your daughter-in-law Luo, is lazy and lazy, and she is famous for her widowhood, and even widowers don't want to marry someone, but you threatened to die and married Luo, your aunt really thought about you and let you marry such a good woman.
He Lao Er, you go to the yamen to tell Lao He Tou now, we are waiting here, I want to see who will be poked in the backbone and scolded by someone at that time. ”
After saying all this, the patriarch finally felt comfortable and let out a long breath.
Hearing this, He Lao Er suddenly felt up and down in his heart, "Are you really not afraid of me suing at all?" ”
The patriarch raised his eyebrows, "The body is not afraid of shadows, what are we afraid of, I forgot to tell you that the one who went with your father and them back then, and the other is the father of the county lord, he can testify about this matter, you hurry up and sue!" ”
Mrs. Luo retreated to the gate of the courtyard, she wanted to squeeze out, but these people blocked them one by one and refused to let them.
Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke, "Second He, your aunt is really good to you, she is looking for a husband for your daughter-in-law and daughter, this dowry is a lot of money, is it to ransom you?" ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Helan Yue knew that the person who spoke just now should have been arranged by Luo Li, this assist was good, and she would definitely invite him to dinner when she turned around.
He Lao Er was slightly stunned for a moment, and lowered his gloomy eyes.
At that time, his cousin told him that it was Old Man He who killed his own father and forcibly took him back to his home to raise him, and Old Man He did all this to atone for his sins.
His cousin also told him that he was weak in the He family alone, so he wanted to marry his cousin Luo to him, so that they could rely on each other in the He family.
Later, after learning about Mrs. Luo's greedy character, he has always been suspicious of his father's affairs.
Anyway, it is more important for him to get all the property or money of the He family and live a chic and happy life than anything else.
Originally, the purpose of coming here today was to ask for money, and getting to the current situation was not what he wanted.
The most important thing for him at the moment is to ask for Mrs. He's forgiveness and let her take out the ginseng to redeem herself.
As for Mrs. Luo, when today's matter is over, I will settle accounts with her.
I also want her daughter to remarry, but there is no door.
Of course, you have to do a full set of acts, first throw off the responsibility, and make yourself the most innocent person, so that Mrs. He can soften her heart and help him.
He Laoer's eyes were red, and he found Mrs. Luo in the crowd, and yelled at her hysterically: "Why, why do you want to do this to me?" Why reverse right and wrong and make me an ungrateful person. ”
Old Lady Luo's face was flushed, and she shrunk her neck and hid behind her sons.
Helan Yue smiled sarcastically when she heard this.
If you have a bad heart, you have to blame others, which is really hopeless.
This Mrs. Luo is not a good thing, provoking the second uncle, causing trouble in their house, and indirectly leading to a tragedy like their family in her previous life, she will definitely get this account back.
He Lao Er knelt in front of Mrs. He with tears in his eyes, "Mother, my son was blinded by a traitor, so he did such a foolish thing."
In the future, the son must change his previous bad life and provide for his mother, don't be angry with your son, forgive your son this time! ”
Mrs. He looked at him expressionlessly, pretending to cry in front of her, during her illness, she had seen the true face of He Er.
If you are really a person with a pure heart, you will never be able to do anything that costs people's lives.
If you keep such a mercenary person who can immediately turn his face and be ruthless for the sake of profit, he is undoubtedly raising a vicious dog.
"A son like you, I don't dare to ask for an old woman, besides, I have a son to support me, so I won't bother you, since you already know your life experience, hurry back and recognize your ancestors!"
After speaking, Mrs. He turned around and ignored him.
But He still didn't give up, and continued to kneel on the ground to repent, pretending to be pitiful and trying to win everyone's sympathy.
Helan Yue won't get used to him, "I know that the second uncle wants the grandmother to take out the ginseng to redeem you, but the grandmother of that ginseng has really eaten it, otherwise the grandmother won't be able to stand in front of you today, so please let the second uncle let our family go!" ”
"Yue'er, how can you think of the second uncle like this?"
"As soon as the second uncle came today, he slandered my grandfather as a murderer, and threatened us with the third uncle's fame, isn't it all to ask for ginseng?"
As soon as these words came out, there were still some people who sympathized with He Lao Er just now, and their eyes suddenly changed.
Only then did everyone understand that He Lao Er played a bitter plan, which was to force Mrs. He to take out ginseng to redeem him.
