Chapter 58: Aunt vs. Daughter-in-law
The seller saw that this woman did not look like a good person, so he wanted to flee quickly, but he was entangled, he was miserable, and secretly decided not to come here again to do business, and only thought about how to get out.
"You don't want to run, if you run away, I will sue you for indecent assault, molesting a woman from a good family, and you will go to prison." Xiao Xian said.
"I don't run, I run, you shout, the voice is faster than me, why bother? I was caught as a villain, but no one brought me food. It's not fun to eat in prison, you say, what do you want this thing for? The merchant asked.
"I want this thing, I want to poison you, it's strange to ask, don't ask if you shouldn't. When you go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, will the guy ask what the medicine you bought is for? Xiaoxian asked.
"What do you think you want this thing for? I brought some to poison rats, there are too many rats at home, and the goods I sell are not like words, and I don't have a good appearance, so I went to the pharmacy and bought a little to poison rats and reduce losses, what do you want rat poison for? The merchant asked.
"Am I not here to poison rats? My mother always said that I couldn't do housework, I couldn't even deal with mice, I couldn't get married in the future, I had to be able to catch mice, didn't this force me? Xiaoxian said.
"That's right, catching mice has nothing to do with getting married, if you find a good mother-in-law's house, you don't have to catch mice, someone catches them, and besides, good houses are good, they are closed everywhere, and it is difficult for rats to get indoors, there are no mice, since there are no mice, there is no need to buy rat poison, right?" The merchant said.
"It's not rat poison, it's arsenic, do you understand arsenic? Arsenic is medicine, it is a medicine to cure diseases, we have patients in our family, and we need arsenic to treat, so you can sell me a little, if you don't sell it, I will sue you for the private arsenic business, and if you are caught, you will still go to jail. Xiaoxian said.
After she finished speaking, the merchant was already frightened.
Hurriedly said: "Sell, sell, can't I sell?" ”
In this way, Xiaoxian got arsenic and gave a coin, but the merchant didn't dare to ask for more, so he ran to a neighboring county.
The merchant knew that there would be a disaster, and he would definitely be implicated, so he simply walked away.
When they went far, there was no harm. Xiaoxian dared to say that the merchant gave him arsenic, but fortunately, the merchant left some evidence, that is, the money proved that it was sold to her, not given to her, if it was sent, then there was a suspicion of accomplice, if it was sold, it can be proved that there was no intention to commit a crime, it was just a sale, in order to make money, one was willing to pay for it, and the other was willing to sell, and if something happened, it was solved by itself.
When he walked away, Xiao Xian looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he was relieved, you must know that there are many people here, if you say it, the plan will go bankrupt, and it will be over at that time.
After she went back, she met Xiao Min, who was feeding the pigs and had a lot of vegetable leaves on her. I don't know what kind of vegetables these are, what kind of grass they are, because she rarely goes to hunt pigweed, from childhood to adulthood, it is Xiaomin who goes to hunt pigweed. Xiao Min knows where the pigweed pigs like to eat the most, where the pigweed grows much more and grows vigorously, and also knows what grass or wild vegetables to eat for pigs in what season, these are all slowly familiar to Xiao Min from childhood to adulthood. For Xiaoxian, they are all things outside the sky, although they are green all over the mountains, but they are not very clear about the names of grass or vegetables, they are all green, but they are not all suitable for pigs to eat. If Xiaoxian is allowed to feed the pigs, the pigs will definitely grow very slim. Slender pigs don't sell for a good price, only fat ones are worth money.
These pigs don't know Xiaoxian, from childhood to adulthood, they don't know that there is a Xiaoxian, from the pig's life, Xiaoxian is quite unfamiliar, to Xiaomin, very familiar, because Xiaomin is the second mother, from the pig mother left, began to learn to eat by themselves. They learned, all the food they got from Xiao Min, no one else had seen it, only when they were about to kill, only to find that there were two women in this family, an old one and one young, probably when they wanted to eat meat. This is hard for the pigs to think about.
When Xiao Xian saw it, she immediately stepped forward, smiled, stretched out her hand to help Xiao Min remove the leaves, and said, "Look at how much my sister-in-law has contributed to our family!" Thank you so much sister-in-law, my brother married his sister-in-law is considered to burn high incense, it is my brother's blessing, it is the blessing of our family, without my sister-in-law's contribution, our family is still drinking the northwest wind, thank you, sister-in-law, thank you! ”
After Xiao Xian finished speaking, she went to pick off the vegetable leaves on Xiao Min's body, and Xiao Min cried movingly! She has never heard such heart-warming words, since she got married, she has been bullied, she has encountered good things, without her share, she has done all the bad things, and she has been wronged a lot.
For the huge change in the sister-in-law, this makes Xiao Min at a loss, thinking that there is a problem where the sun comes out, originally came out from the east and fell to the west, but now it is reversed, coming out from the west and setting in the east, no matter what, lying down and watching, looking at it right, looking at it backwards, I can't see the Tao, what's going on? Can anyone give a correct explanation? There may be something happening, and it is difficult to guess what it is, and if you can guess it, it is not a mortal, but an immortal.
Fortunately, she is about to get out, because her mother-in-law will die and her sister-in-law will marry, and this family will be Xiaomin's sooner or later. Complaining about the environment doesn't help, don't complain about the environment, complain, the environment is still there, don't complain, the environment is also there, both horizontal and vertical, in order to be less angry and not angry, it's best not to complain, people who like to complain generally don't have good results. It can also be said that there is no good ending. This is something that countless people have proven over and over again, and it is a true thing, and it has been tried and tested time and again.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxian, you are so kind!" Xiao Min hurriedly said, for fear that when she finished speaking, she would be a handle, and in the future, she would be said to be arrogant or disrespectful, and there would be problems when these words reached her husband's ears.
If you want to respond, you should respond early, not delay, and there will be no mistakes if you deal with it based on experience. This is the principle of striking while the iron is hot. The iron has just come out of the oven, and it is best to beat it, because the iron is soft, and as long as the iron becomes cold, it is not easy to beat.
"You're busy first, I'll cook." Xiaoxian said.
"Okay, you go, the rice is in the jar, the oil is in the cupboard, the salt is in the jar, and the lard is in the ceramic basin, if the salt jar gets wet, it will rain." Xiao Min said.
"Okay, thanks for the reminder, I got it." Xiao Xian said.
"You're welcome, the family doesn't talk to each other." Xiao Xian said.
Xiaoxian thought to herself, damn it, who is a family with you, think beautifully! Let's go to Hades and report to the king early. In Xiao Xian's mind, Xiao Min is already a dead person, Xiao Xian's hatred for Xiao Min doesn't know where it comes from, and now it has reached the point where it can't be increased, and the two are already incompatible.
She went to the kitchen, did not use lard, did not use rice, in the earthen pot where the eggs were placed, she found two eggs, beaten, stirred evenly, found a handful of leeks, washed it, then heated the pot, poured sesame oil, and when the oil smoked, poured in the eggs, made a "stinging" sound, and then put in the salt, the house wafted out a rich fragrance, she chopped the leeks and threw them into the pot, and then added a handful of firewood to make the fire more vigorous, burned for a while, and after the soup boiled, she pulled out the hard wood and put it on the ground, Put the soup in the pot into the bowl, and then look around to see that there is no one, shake all the arsenic into the bowl, and then stir with chopsticks, bring the bowl to Xiao Min's room, and wait for Xiao Min to eat after feeding the pigs, and is very willing to enjoy this food, although Xiao Min is damned, this last bowl of rice is also worthy of her, usually she eats leftovers, and never lets her come to the table to eat, just like a subordinate or a maid is as low.
Someone is cooking today, Xiao Min is not in a hurry to cook, feed a few pigs, the bigger and bigger, the amount of food is more and more, the pigweed she hit back is not enough, see that the time is still early, she went out to hunt pigweed again, this time to go to the back mountain.
Xiao Xian made egg and leek soup and put it in Xiao Min's room, and then went to find her, ready for her to eat, Xiao Min's work, she can take it over and continue to do it, so that Xiao Min can eat it. I hope that Xiaomin will eat it immediately and die immediately, so that the whole family will be better. Xiao Min has done something for this family, but without Xiao Min, this home is still there!
She went to the pigpen and found that the person was not there, and looked into the pigsty, and the pig also looked up at her, thinking it was Xiao Min, but what she saw was Xiao Xian, and the pigs looked down to find the pigweed on the ground to see if there was anything left to eat.
Xiao Xian seemed to sense the pig's dissatisfaction with her, and wondered, did Xiao Min lazy to go back to the room to sleep? If she goes back to the room, she will definitely see the egg soup, she will definitely drink it secretly, and then go to the kitchen to get busy. It must be like this, since I was a child, I can see through her.
She is definitely a delicious and lazy woman, and she should have been thrown out a long time ago, lest she spoil the good thing.
The so-called good thing is to marry Xiaoxian, give her brother a dowry after getting the bride price, and find a new woman to replace Xiaomin, because Xiaomin is too bad.
In this way, the family does not need to prepare a dowry, because there is a bride price, and there is a bride price for the elder brother, so that the elder brother can find a chicken that can lay eggs and go back, so as not to let the old mother talk about hugging her grandson every day.
It's actually very hurtful to talk about not being there.
The person who said it had no intention, and the person who listened to it felt very uncomfortable to feel like a knife in his heart.
Besides, the mother-in-law came back from under the big locust tree in the east of the village, she had just gone to the meeting of the mother-in-law in the village, and they studied how to deal with the daughter-in-law together, and there was nothing to be done.
When the mother-in-law came home, she just asked about the fragrance, so she looked for food everywhere, looked for it, and went to her daughter-in-law's room, and saw that there was no one in the house, only a bowl of egg soup, and scolded in her heart: "Little hoof, while the old lady is not at home, I secretly make delicious food and eat it myself, I think it is beautiful!" ”
She picked up the bowl and didn't use chopsticks, and drank the soup and water together, it was so delicious! It's been a long time since I've had such a delicious soup! Little Hoof cooks every day, and is reluctant to scramble eggs, and today must have used three eggs, and we are reluctant to eat it secretly, so reluctant.
Suddenly, someone came in outside, the mother-in-law wanted to hide and had nowhere to hide, thinking about how to deal with the daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that the person who came in was none other than her baby daughter, she smiled and said, "Good daughter, why don't you come early!" ”
"What's wrong?"
"I found out that your sister-in-law secretly cooked food at home, and she didn't have time to eat it yet, I don't know where the people went, maybe she ate too well at home, and her stomach couldn't stand it, so she went to the thatched house, hehehe." Mother-in-law said.
Xiaoxian looked at the empty bowl on the table, thought something bad was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Mom, have you eaten this bowl?" ”
"I chattered outside for a long time, and when I was hungry, I came back, and there was still no movement in the kitchen, so I found the little hoof's room, and saw the egg soup made by the little hoof, so I ate it, you see how thief this little hoof is! While we are not at home, she secretly cooks food by herself, and always calls poor in front of us, and the ghost believes it! The mother-in-law said.
When Xiaoxian heard this, she only felt dizzy, and thought, it's bad, it's bad, if the medicine sold by the merchant is fake, I hope it's not true, she thought so, but saw blood coming out of the corner of her mother's mouth, she thought something bad, the medicine, arsenic is real, and saw her mother-in-law shouting "My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts!" ”
Shouting and shouting, there was more and more blood at the corners of the mouth, and finally blood spurted out, a fishy smell filled the room, and the familiar faces became distorted, this image made Xiaoxian frightened a lot, and she peed her pants at that time, after her mother-in-law shouted, she leaned back, cooed, and lay on the ground on all fours, and then because of the pain, she desperately scratched her stomach, curled up into a ball, like a pangolin encountering an attack by a wolf, curled up in a ball of self-protection, and then stretched out, and finally stopped moving.
Xiaoxian saw that her mother's mouth, nose, ears and eyes were bleeding, which was very scary, but she didn't expect that the arsenic sold by the merchant was not only true, but also innocent.
Xiaoxian saw that people were no longer good, so she was so frightened that she ran out, the first thing she had to do was to shirk the responsibility and blame others, otherwise she herself would go to prison and even be executed for disobedience and unfilial piety.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she went straight to Lizheng and Dibao and reported that her daughter-in-law Xiaomin had poisoned her mother-in-law.
Wait for Li Zheng and Di Bao to feel Xiao Min's house, just Xiao Min hit pigweed back, has not fed the pigs, went to the kitchen to drink some water, and after drinking water, I found that a group of people came, Xiao Min looked, guessed who had an accident, I wanted to see the excitement, I didn't expect them to come to their own house, this made Xiao Min very surprised, hurriedly went out to greet, as soon as he went out, he heard Li Zheng say: "Take the suspect down." ”
When Xiao Min heard this, he was inexplicable and asked, "May I ask who is the suspect, master?" ”
"Tong Xiaomin."
As soon as Li Zhengyi shouted these three words, Xiao Min was scared, she cried and said, "Wronged! I just came back from hunting pigweed, and I haven't had time to feed the pigs, so how did I become a suspect? Am I also breaking the law by beating pigweed? ”
"It's not illegal to fight pigweed, where we appear, there are usually people killed, and they have to be reported to the county government, and someone reported that you poisoned your mother-in-law, is there such a thing?" Rizheng asked.
