Chapter 5 Facing the Way of the World
Outside the hospital, the crowd was excited.
The onlookers looked at the Zhang butcher, the second child of the Zhang family, and Shu's father, who were beaten continuously, and they couldn't help but talk about it.
It's really unusual today.
The original happy event suddenly became the scene of being beaten, and it was the groom and the official brothers who were beaten! It's still the mother-in-law who hasn't passed the door!
Even Shu's father, who was a father, was beaten.
I am afraid that this matter will be brought out in the next ten years, and the Shu family and the Zhang butcher family can be regarded as embarrassing.
Not to mention Shizhu Village, even if it is a few surrounding villages, they all have to laugh off their big teeth!
"The surname is Shu!" The second child of the Zhang family covered his legs, and looked at Shu's father with red eyes: "This is what you said about not fighting back and scolding or not returning the mouth?" My big brother and I are a joke! Beaten like this by a mother-in-law who didn't pass through the door! ”
Shu's father was speechless for a while, and said hesitantly: "This is a loss of money...... Not usually...... Who knows what's going on today. ”
"I don't care, either you return three taels of silver to me today, and then compensate me for twenty taels of silver, or take this mother-in-law out, and give the rest to me and my eldest brother!"
The second child of the Zhang family spoke in a ruthless tone, he had already thought about it, as long as this Shu Ying passed the door, she must be allowed to survive and not die!
Shu's father's face was even more ugly.
Refund of the bride price?
That's reserved for Dabao to marry a daughter-in-law!
What's more, if you are a farmer yourself, where did you get twenty taels!
But now that he has been beaten like this, it is difficult to stand up, and how can he bring Shu Ying out.
Father Shu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said with all his might: "Old and young masters, whoever gets out of my family's money-losing goods, I will give him five dollars of silver!" ”
Five coins of silver!
For a while, the crowd was excited!
In this Great Liang country, the life of the poor is not easy, and the farmer's work all year round can make two people starve to death.
If a woman stays at home and weaves, she sells it for three cents a day, unless she is a journeyman, and she has to weave day and night, and her fingers are worn out, and it is only five cents.
This is still a textile machine at home, otherwise you can't find a way to make money.
What's more, there are also strict taxes, whoever does something will not be able to pay the tax, and many strong men are forcibly confiscated every year.
Five coins of silver, for the villagers of Shizhu Village, is a lot of money!
It's worth two months' wages in the county, enough for a family of four to pay taxes for half a year!
The village elder, who originally planned to maintain order, also stood up with his three sons, stroked his beard and said, "This is not just a matter of money or money. Everyone, my Shizhu Village has a marriage resistance, and it is so big, if we don't solve it quickly, we will have to lose the adults! In the future, in the next few villages, who is willing to marry over, who dares to marry our girl! ”
"This is about the rules and face of our Shizhu Village!"
"As the old saying goes, the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. The husband is the woman. This Shu Ying, a mother-in-law who has never passed the door, beat her father-in-law, beat Shu's father, she is simply unruly, how can she be cleaned up today, otherwise our Shizhu Village, where is the face of our men! ”
For a moment, the noisy crowd was quiet for a while, and flames burned in the eyes of the men.
The remaining three men of the family who beat gongs and drums put down their guys and faintly surrounded the hospital door.
The villagers who watched the excitement also rolled up their sleeves.
The name is justified, and it is a matter of face.
What's more, there are a full five coins of silver!
And in the courtyard, there is only one weak woman resisting!
A group of farmers surrounded the courtyard gate, but for a while, no one dared to rush over.
It's really that Shu's father and the Zhang brothers ended up too miserable, and Shu Ying didn't know how to do it, she was obviously a girl, but the stones thrown out were extremely powerful, and if she hit it, she would break a bone!
You know, there is no surgery in this Liang country, and there are no CT scans.
In a world where you can't eat enough, what kind of scientific medical treatment is mentioned?
In fact, fractures are not a big deal, and if they are treated properly, they can grow well after resting for two or three months. But in this world, a fracture is nothing more than sending it to bed to lie down, applying some herbs, and if it can grow well, it will grow well, and if it can't grow well, it will not grow well.
Last year, there was another farmer in Shizhu Village who died after lying in bed for a month because he was hit by a hoe while plowing the land.
Of course, there are some doctors who can connect bones, but that kind of doctor is not something that they can invite from the villagers, and the outpatient fee is an astronomical amount that the villagers cannot afford.
Under such conditions, a fracture can result in lifelong disability or inexplicable death.
Even if you are disabled for a lifetime, it is almost the same as waiting for death, you can't even do your job, and you will starve to death in the end, and if you don't get it right, you will drag down the family.
For a while, no one dared to go up.
"What are you afraid of!" The village elder said coldly: "There are many of us! ”
"Everyone rushed in together, I don't believe she can throw dozens of stones in one go!"
As soon as these words came out, the villagers' eyes lit up, and the crowd of people in the entire alley walked quickly towards the courtyard gate!
Inside the hospital.
Shu Ying didn't look at Shu's mother who couldn't stand up and Dabao who was crying, but just held the stick with another stone tightly and stared at the courtyard door.
Outside the door, there was a sea of people, and the eyes of the men were hot!
Inside the door, a weak woman held a stick.
It's like being the enemy of the whole world.
In her previous life, Shu Ying was an older leftover girl in order to study, and she was very annoyed by her parents' nagging urging marriage.
But in this world, there is no urging marriage, only the fate that is not controlled by oneself and is decided by others at will!
The words of the matchmaker, the life of the parents!
The husband is the woman's outline, and the husband sings with the woman.
It is the destined fate of a woman!
The white dress swayed in the wind, and the thin face carried an awe-inspiring heroic and unyielding spirit.
Shu Ying gasped, the whole courtyard seemed to be silent only her gasp, and outside the courtyard was a noisy shout of men.
Shu Ying heard Shu's father's "reward", heard the respected village chief's "matter of face", and also heard the complicated footsteps walking towards the courtyard gate.
The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, like a wave, overwhelmed Shu Ying.
She didn't expect that she was unwilling to marry Zhang Butcher, not only to face Shu's father and Shu's mother and Zhang's family, but also to face the entire Shizhu Village!
Face the whole world!
It was as if the whole world was blocking her and making her accept her fate, as if this world was flooding like a tide, dragging her into the abyss.
And all she can rely on is a stick, a cloth bag, and a stone in her hand.
Listening to the footsteps outside the door getting closer and closer, Shu Ying was a little desperate.
The hastily made improvised thrower throws rocks that are extremely powerful, and the approximate direction can be grasped.
Whenever someone came in, she just threw it at the courtyard door.
Shu Ying also took advantage of it before, the narrow courtyard gate could only pass through one person at a time, and it was impossible for two people to enter at the same time, and there was nowhere to dodge, Shu Ying just threw it towards the courtyard gate.
However, the simple dropper also has a drawback, which is that it is too slow to reload and is very physically demanding to use.
Shu Ying already felt that her arms were as heavy as lead at this time, and once many people rushed in regardless of the casualties, they were afraid that they would not have time to reload, and at most they could only throw out a stone, and the people behind would come in and knock themselves down!
At that time, he could only be like a piglet, pressed to the ground and tied up, and sent to the Zhang brothers.
What's the difference between that and going to hell, just by what you did today, in the hands of that Zhang brother, I'm afraid that even death is an extravagant hope!
Listening to the footsteps coming outside the door, Shu Ying only felt that the footsteps were like a wave, drowning herself, and it was a desperate sense of suffocation.
"Gotta hold on!"
Shu Ying gritted her teeth, took a deep breath to suppress the despair, tried to clear her mind, and finally shouted: "Yes, there are many of you, I can only throw one stone at a time!" Only one person can break bones! ”
"But, who walks first!"
The footsteps outside were all a meal.
"Who walks in first! Who broke bones! Shu Ying endured her despair and shouted loudly, "If you have the ability, come in!" Anyway, I'm going to be caught sooner or later, I don't care, who of you wants to lie in bed and wait for death with a bowl of bran porridge every day, who will come! ”
At this moment, Shu Ying is like a trapped beast that has been forced into a desperate situation, only ready to bite the last bite fiercely and fight to the death.
Trapped beasts are still fighting!
Shu Ying gritted her teeth and continued to shout: "When the time comes, I can't work and support my family, so I will endure the eyes of my wife and children, and watch my mother-in-law go to find other men in bed like a wasted person!" Oh, when the time comes, your land will be planted by others, your mother-in-law will sleep with others, and when you die, your house will be lived in by others, and your children will have other surnames! I'm not afraid of death, see which of you comes! ”
The powerful thinking of the double master's degree in the previous life was instantly launched, and Shu Ying's speech speed was extremely fast and her logic became clear.
Since you have come here.
Since the way of the world is like this.
Then face this damned, male-inferior world!
Even if you only have a stick tied to a rag in your hand, even if there are men in front of you who want to rush in and knock you down, you can't retreat!
And as soon as Shu Ying's words came out, the men who were eager to try around the hospital door were stunned, but no one dared to rush in first!
