Twenty-eighth
The eldest young master of the He family, the county magistrate, went home to preside over the aftermath of the eldest sister Yubi and his wife.
The He family originally wanted to go to the Hu family to ask for some explanations, but after thinking about it, the county magistrate He said: "This matter is not right with my family, and besides, since ancient times, traitors and thieves have killed people, and the government will not investigate them!" Yunguang came back and spoke well, and he also knew what was wrong! If you really investigate it, at most you will ask for the coffin money, so why bother?! If people comment in the future, where will I put my family's face?! My eldest brother is in charge of this matter, and if the Hu family doesn't go, it is the right thing to bury Yunguang and his wife! ”
One morning not long after the burial of Yubi and his wife, Xia Shengxia said to his mother-in-law after breakfast, "Mom, I'll go to Meicheng to see if there are any guys who want to buy some and come back." ”
The mother-in-law put down the dishes and chopsticks and replied, "You are going to do something, you have to come back early." There's still a lot of work to be done in the house. Xia Sheng replied, I know.
When he went out, he teased the blessing of the lilac in his hand. said, blessed and obedient, uncle will go up the street to help you sell a good trick and come back. Lilac took some rice with chopsticks and fed it to Youfu, and said in her mouth: "Thank you uncle first!"
Unexpectedly, Xia Sheng did not come back for more than ten days after going out that morning.
The mother-in-law was anxious, and said to Qiusheng worriedly: "Qiusheng, your brother doesn't know what trouble this short-necked ghost has done, and he has seen him in the eyes for more than ten days?!" - Xia Sheng has a short neck, and his mother-in-law scolds him for being a short-necked ghost when she is angry.
Qiusheng was also a little worried. Lilac hurriedly comforted: "Mom, if you take the risk, my brother may have something good to do with someone else to go out to earn money, and I have time to talk to you!" The mother-in-law nagged as she walked: "For the sake of wishes, this severing of the brain and death is always unreassuring."
After another two days, Xia Sheng did not come back, but waited for Hu Yousheng and Hu Mansheng's brothers to come to the door.
That Hu Mansheng is the oldest, he is more than 20 years younger than his second brother Hu Yousheng, and he is the same year as Qiusheng, and he knew each other after studying in the school for a year.
As soon as Hu Mansheng saw Qiusheng, he pulled aside and said a little angrily: "Brother Qiusheng, your brother Xia is a little unauthentic. Listening to Wu Laoguan, who played the watch in Meicheng, I saw him walking on the street with my second sister-in-law at dawn a few days ago. Since that day, my second sister-in-law has been back in the house again, how can this be done?! ”
Qiusheng was shocked when he heard the news, and he already understood seven or eight points in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "Brother Mansheng, you can only believe half of what Wu Lao Qi said!" Besides, when my brother went out, he told me that he was going to do some work outside, even if the two of them were together on the street, it was not necessarily my brother who took your second sister-in-law to run away. Take 10,000 steps back and say, my brother really has something to do with your second sister-in-law, and you have to talk about it! ”
At this time, the mother-in-law Lilac also rushed out when she heard the sound, and Hu Yousheng hurriedly greeted her and talked to her mother-in-law. When Qiusheng saw it, he didn't wait for his mother-in-law to speak, so he blocked back with what he had just said.
The Hu brothers saw that Qiusheng's speech did not leak oil and salt, and they had no way to do it, so they had to leave stupidly. It's just that when he left, Hu Yousheng let out cruel words, saying that if he let Xia Sheng be with his mother-in-law, he would break Xia Sheng's hand and break Xia Sheng's feet at that time, and don't risk taking care of the face of the villagers.
Qiusheng didn't answer, not wanting to anger them.
As soon as the Hu brothers walked away, the mother-in-law began to sob. Seeing this, Lilac comforted her mother-in-law and said, "If you take a chance, even if your brother has something to do with that Hu Gui'e, if you find your brother and let him never provoke her again, you can take the risk of something, and you can't do anything with him and the Hu family." ”
"That being said, it's just that the brothers of the Hu family are jackals, and they are all ruthless characters! A few days ago, your cousin-in-law asked them to kill him with a shuttle dart, and his county magistrates and brothers took their brother's risk! Alas, this short-necked ghost who chopped off his skull and died did his best to suffer! The mother-in-law sighed.
One evening more than two months later, Xia Sheng finally returned, and it was at the foot of the mountain that he met Lilac, who was returning home as a palm worker.
When Ding Xiang saw Xia Sheng, she hurriedly said: "Brother, you will be there for two or three months, and you won't reply to a letter if you do anything, and your mother is in a hurry to die in the house!"
Xia Sheng stopped and said to Lilac: "Sister-in-law, I went to the Gangkou to build a rock embankment for two months, so that you can worry about it in the house!"
When she returned home, her mother-in-law counted down as soon as she saw Xia Sheng. Qiusheng was beside him, and hurriedly said a few words to Xia Sheng: "Mom, brother go out to read it, you just came back and you were long and short!" Is there something you want to talk about when your eldest brother is a little bit more angry? ”
The mother-in-law scolded on her lips, but she still hurt Xia Sheng in her heart. Hearing Qiusheng say this, he went to the kitchen to get some for Xia Sheng.
As soon as Qiusheng saw that his mother was out, he hurriedly pulled Xiasheng outside. talked about the Hu brothers coming to ask for explanations, and asked Xia Sheng if he had anything to do with Hu Gui'e.
When Xia Sheng heard this, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told Qiusheng about him and Hu Gui'e in 1510.
Last year, Hu Dasheng's house in Hu Jiachong repaired the house, and Xia Sheng, who can build a rock embankment, went to his house to do things for more than a month. Hu Dasheng's wife couldn't be busy, so she invited her aunt Hu Gui'e, who lived alone at home, to come over to help make tea and dinner to entertain the craftsmen.
Xia Sheng is single, Hu gave birth to a far away, men and women are a little warm, and the countrymen are rude and usually sneak down their butts and grab their tits.
The man Hu Gui'e was not around, and Xia Sheng often helped Hu Gui'e to do some heavy work during his lunch break. Hu Gui'e was grateful and willing to let Xia Sheng rub some oil, and she also liked Xia Sheng a little in her heart.
Hu Gui'e knew that her mother-in-law killed Li Xiuying, and she was always afraid in her heart.
Soon an old man passed away in Liujiawan, Xia Sheng went to send a favor, and met Hu Gui'e on the road, who also went to send a favor.
In the no-man's land on the mountain road, Hu Gui'e secretly told Xia Sheng about it, and when it came to the sad place, the pear blossoms brought rain, and Xia Sheng was busy comforting him very intimately.
That Hu Gui'e looked at the intimate Xia Sheng, and her body came up. Xia Sheng was also a young mandarin when he was angry, so he picked up Hu Gui'e and went to a no-man's land in the recess, and he was made a horny mandarin duck by the ground.
Since then, whenever there is a chance, Xia Sheng will go to Hu Gui'e for a good time.
After Second Young Master He was killed by the Hu family brothers, Hu Gui'e was even more afraid, so she tried to find Xia Sheng for an idea.
Xia Sheng thought about it for a long time, and ran away with Hu Gui'e. The two went to Yiyang to play for a few days, but they couldn't find a suitable way to live, and later went to Hu Gui'e's mother's house with a plan.
At that time, Hu Gui'e's mother was alive, her father was dead, her brothers and sisters were married, and two or three sisters were still in good families. Seeing Hu Gui'e, the family was very happy, and more than ten years of separation evoked a strong family affection.
Her eldest brother and eldest brother are fathers, and they said that Hu Gui'e has lost money for more than ten years, and now that she has returned home, she will take turns living in each sister's house for a month, and then wait for Hu Gui'e to have a safe place to go.
Xia Sheng worked there as a temporary worker for a while, and when he came back, Brother Gui'e gave him a ride. said that as long as the young man did not dislike it, and wanted to find out the affairs of the Hu family, all their sisters personally sent Hu Gui'e to Xia Sheng's house to complete the marriage.
After hearing this, Qiusheng complained about Xia Sheng, and said: "Brother, there are so many women in the world, why are you going to mess with that Hu Gui'e!"
When Xia Sheng heard Chunsheng say this, he was angry and yelled at Qiusheng: "What's wrong with Hu Gui'e? You are full and don't know that hungry men are hungry, and your cousin and cub are prosperous together, so I will be single?! ”
Qiusheng saw that Xia Sheng was angry, and he was afraid of startling his mother, so he didn't dare to persuade him anymore and went back to the house.
In the evening, my mother-in-law still knew the situation and quarreled with Xia Sheng all night. In the end, it was Lilac who said and two of them, and persuaded them before they dispersed.
A few days later, Hu Yousheng knew that Xia Sheng was back, and he was stuck on the road and reasoned with Xia Sheng.
Xia Sheng admitted that he went to her mother's house with Hu Gui'e in Meicheng and worked there for two months, but flatly denied having an adulterous affair with Hu Gui'e. He said that he and Hu Gui'e met the same companion on Meicheng Street by chance, and if you don't believe that you have the ability, you can go to Hu Gui'e's house and ask Hu Gui'e in person!
That Hu was anxious again, and he fought with Xia Sheng at that time. Qiusheng Lilac and his wife got the letter and hurried over. At this time, Xia Sheng and Hu Yousheng had been torn apart, and Xia Sheng and Hu Yousheng were both covered in mud, and their hands and faces were colored.
At that time, there were many people around, and two brothers from the Hu family also came.
This is a matter that is unpopular and insulting, and Hu Yousheng does not dare to publicize it. The Hu brothers knew it, but they had to knock out their teeth and swallow blood, and dragged their brothers home, and they didn't pursue it for the time being.
Since then, the Hu brothers and Xia Sheng have formed a hatred.
Xia Sheng didn't dare to marry Hu Gui'e blatantly, but he went to see her every other day in March and February. Although Hu Yousheng's brothers were considered a tyrant in Lilac Castle, they didn't dare to really go to Hu Gui'e's mother's house to ask for it, and the matter was over.
Since the 35th year of the Republic of China, the two armies of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been fighting for two years, and many people have died in battle.
That winter, the Lilac family unfortunately won the lottery again and wanted to be a person.
Because of Hu Gui'e's matter, her mother-in-law and Xia Sheng often quarreled. This time, the mother-in-law nagged that Xia Sheng provoked Hu Gui'e's rotten goods and got bad luck, Xia Sheng was angry and said, you can't see me, you will be dazzling when you see me. Old brother, wife, children, and daughters, if you want to enlist, let me go, out of sight and out of mind. At home, I am also very angry, I can't beat him to death, and I don't necessarily have to be an official if I make meritorious contributions.
Although her mother-in-law scolded Xia Sheng on weekdays, her heart still hurt, so she discussed with Qiusheng Lilac whether the big guys could scrape together some money to buy Zhuang Ding to offset the number.
When Lilac heard this, he said: "Now the war is in chaos, and I don't know how many people will die in the war!" In the past three or four years, we have also saved some money, and my brother has also saved a lot outside alone. Just add two to five, I and Qiu gave birth to half, my brother made up half, and sold his head to pass this hurdle first, Mom, do you think it's okay?! ”
The mother-in-law was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly said: "It's just that you have a family, so I will wronged you first!" Blessed is his uncle's family, he will have to trouble you in the future! ”
Lilac hurriedly said: "Naturally, as long as the family can get by, they should help each other."
A few days later, my mother-in-law asked people to find a poor man named Liu Ziping, who had just retired from the army and was exempted from conscription. At first, it was said that it was good to use fiat currency, but at that time, prices rose rapidly, and the price was one for a few days.
Two days before the handover, he changed his hexagram, saying that he wanted to cash 50 yuan in the ocean, and said that in some places there was no one to find a hundred yuan silver dollars. The mother-in-law had no choice but to agree.
Lilac and his wife have saved more than a dozen oceans throughout the year, and all the money they have saved in the next three years has been put up, and there are more than a dozen oceans left to prevent disasters.
paid the money and sent it away, and the next day he also invited Liu Baochang to come to the house to eat, and when he left, he also sent bacon and called a sedan chair to send him back to the Baogong Office.
When he left, Liu Baochang insisted on asking Xia Sheng to send him, and his mother-in-law didn't know how to follow Liu Baochang.
Later in the evening, Liu Baochang sent a group to the house, but Xia Sheng did not have a companion to come back.
The group Ding said to his mother-in-law, this morning before Liu Baochang came to dinner, he knew that the strong man you sold Liu Ziping ran away in Wuli last night, and said that the strong man doesn't want you to buy it yourself, just re-pay the money of a strong man! Xia Sheng is now detained in the Baogong Office, and he will be released within three days with one hand and one hand. After three days of risking money, Xia Sheng handed it over to the military service department to send it to the troops!
When the mother-in-law heard this, she was anxious, and hurriedly asked someone to find Qiusheng Lilac and discuss a solution. Lilacs and they only have about a dozen oceans, and they have to give all the methods to their mother-in-law.
The next day, Qiusheng took his mother-in-law to the house of the landlord Long Erye.
After listening to his mother-in-law's intentions, Second Master Long paced around the house twice, stopped at the civilized stick and said: "Mother He, your Xia Sheng brother has been planting my family for a few years, and now Xia Sheng has such a thing as Da without help, and it can't be said that he can't talk about it." In this way, I will lend you thirty oceans, and I will risk more. It's just that I said it first, when the rice is ripe, you will return the grain to me, I don't charge the money, and the interest will be three buckets of grain, just a meaning, and come according to the rules! Do you think you want it? ”
Qiusheng knew in his heart that the price of grain was now one price a day, and he didn't know how much grain he could buy in these thirty oceans in June and July next year. But there was no other way but to put a fingerprint on the IOU that was converted into the amount of rice to be repaid tomorrow at the current grain price.
When you leave, you have to thank Second Master Long for your kindness!
The next day, the mother-in-law invited the patriarch Gui Shunjian to take the forty Guangyang to the Liu Bao Changbao Office. Gui Shunjian and Liu Baochang went back and forth, and saw that he was ten Guangyang short of face and let Xia Sheng go.
When I got home, my mother-in-law also caught a chicken for Gui Shunjian, and Gui Shunjian politely accepted it.
Because of Xia Sheng's strong ding, the mother-in-law's family spent all their savings and owed debts, and her mother-in-law inevitably complained about Xia Sheng when things didn't go well on weekdays.
Xia Sheng was also angry, and one day he had a few arguments with his mother-in-law because of the matter of ploughing. At this time, the mother-in-law scolded again, saying that he was a short-necked ghost with a ghost, and he was not obedient to let him get a fine light in the house.
At that time, Xia Sheng was angry, threw the rake, washed his feet, and ran away with his shoes. My mother-in-law was still chasing after me and scolding, if you are ruthless, you won't come back!
Xia Sheng didn't go back!
I was gone for several years, and I didn't return home until the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Three months after Xia Sheng left, the harvested rice was returned to Long Erye first. I borrowed money a few months ago, but now I can't buy even half of the rice.
Qiusheng and Lilac carried the millet to Long Erye's house, and Lilac couldn't help but shed tears when she entered the warehouse.
When Qiusheng saw it, he hurriedly asked with concern: "Lilac, what's wrong?!" Lilac shook her head, wiped her tears, and said, "What a problem, Gu Ash is running away!" Seeing this, Qiusheng hurriedly came over to help Lilac blow his eyes.
On the way back, Qiusheng and his wife were both in a heavy mood. After the food was given to Second Master Long, there were only four or five hundred catties of grain left in the family. There are four people of old and young, and an average of more than 100 catties of grain per person, so I have to endure this day!
Lilac earns some food outside, and she has to spend half the time at home, not to mention that there are three mouths in the house!
Since then, on the day Lilac is out doing things, she will try to eat as much as possible for dinner, and the next day at noon at home for a tea topping meal. It's not that you're hungry and pretend to have a headache and a headache and brainache to save your stutter and give it to Qiusheng. Qiusheng is the main laborer, and he is hungry, and he collapses a room and has the backbone of the Lord.
In October, Ozune came home. said that there is some work to be done in Lantian Longtang, and if you can take time to work together until the end of the year, you may be able to earn a few Guangyang back.
Lilac thought about it and agreed. When leaving, Youfu cried and asked for his mother, and chased him until the foot of the mountain.
Later, Lilac coaxed him and said, "Blessed to ride, blessed to be obedient!" Mom went outside to earn money, and earned money to help Youfu buy a windmill and come back.
Youfu cried and said, blessed don't want a windmill, you are blessed to have a mother! Later, Qiusheng Ba took him back.
Hearing the blessed cry behind her, Lilac wiped her tears with her heart as she walked.
End of the twenty-eighth round
