The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 607 Arranged Marriage
Speaking of which, Li Hai is not tall, maybe it is the reason why the nutrition in ancient society is not very rich. As a man, he can't stand up to 1.6 meters. Standing on tiptoe, it is considered as not falling, even so, it is somewhat equivalent to hanging.

Ling Xiao looked at this relatively small man, who looked pretty good, but felt that this one was a bit too short, but he quickly threw this idea aside, and dragged him to the in front of myself.

The corner of her mouth was turned up to see that her face was a little purple, her neck was about to break, and Li Hai, whose feet were still kicking, had the coldness in his eyes. From the outsiders, this Taoist priest seemed to have a bit of evil spirit. .

At this moment, Li Hai had only one thought: he felt death. This discovery made him tremble all over, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.If it hadn't been for convenience, I'm afraid I'd be scared to pee.

Ling Xiao naturally saw that Li Hai had reached the limit of his fear. If he continued to play, he was afraid that his whole body would start to collapse, and he might go crazy, so he mercifully let him go. Some people died or went crazy. On the contrary, it is cheaper for those who do evil, they should stay and slowly accept the retribution.

The chief and the others almost knelt down in fright when they saw this, this Taoist chief was really not easy to mess with, was he planning to kill Li Hai?Seeing that at this time the chief still wanted to beg for mercy, trembling and wanted to open his mouth, he felt his teeth colliding with each other.

Because the Daoist Master's force value is too strong, he can easily handle a big man, and his movements make people feel very ethereal, but the final result is very terrible. I don't know if the villagers will be strangled because of pleading neck?In this case they can't speak.

It is understandable that these people dare not intercede, but Li Shitou’s family, as Li Hai’s people, dare not speak too much, co-authoring will only bully the weak, and only dare to tremble aside when encountering powerful people, it is understandable The life of the Song couple is very difficult. This kind of bullying guy is very disgusting.

How could there be such a person?Thinking of this, she directly threw away Li Hai, and he who fell to the ground finally felt that he could breathe, and he didn't care about other problems, he took a big gulp of fresh air, tears streaming down his face.

Ling Xiao looked at Li Shitou's family who were huddled in one place, and took a step forward. The people on the opposite side were frightened and hurriedly backed away. She said lightly, "What? I thought that Pindao was Song Xiucai's good-tempered person, and wanted to Eat it! Pindao likes to punish those who have no shame."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Shitou's current wife, Mrs. Wang. She felt bad at the moment, and she felt like the world was falling apart at that moment. It was a terrible feeling. She never thought that the eldest daughter-in-law who had been unable to stand up was still alive. Come forward and support.

If he had known this was the case, he would not have sold the Song family, but directly killed their mother and son, so that no one would know the truth of the matter. It is a pity that the youngest son kept asking for money at that time, so he could not sell the Song family. What should I do?She didn't know where to get that sum of money at all, and said it was too late.

While thinking about this, Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on her, making her want to hide behind Li Shitou. She felt sorry for her youngest son, but loved herself more, so she didn't even think about seeing how her youngest son was doing.

Li Hai finally felt that it was good to be able to breathe, and it was good to be alive even while panting heavily!Thinking of this, he suddenly burst into tears. He never thought that an old Taoist priest would be so powerful.

He looked at Ling Xiao with incomparable fear. This was the first time he felt the incomparable fear coming from the depths of his heart. At this point, he looked at Ling Xiao as if he was facing a demon, so he had to turn his eyes away immediately. I don't want to see that Taoist priest.

At this moment, Ling Xiao didn't want to focus on Li Hai at all. She was looking at a pair of fateful couples: Wang and her husband Li Shitou. Looking closer, it was clearer that they really did evil!Some people do not hesitate to harm nature and reason in order to achieve their own goals, and do not act as typical representatives of immortality.

She pinched her fingers a few times and said, "No wonder you husband and wife said clearly that Li Han should study hard, but in a blink of an eye they thought of ways to ruin their reputation as husband and wife. From the bottom of your heart, you don't want Li Han to take the imperial examination." Success, you have always hated Mrs. Zhang, right?"

As the parties concerned, Li Shitou and his wife were shocked when they heard the news, because they knew that the other party had died long ago, and the others didn't know the truth at all.

Some things were the sins they did in private in the early years, so naturally they couldn't let others know, so they were cautious when doing things at the beginning, for fear of being discovered by others. After so many years, when they were completely relieved, they were told by this Taoist out.

This is how the same thing?How could the old Taoist know?Many years have passed, and even the traces of the Zhang family have been gradually erased. Even they themselves thought that no one would know this secret anymore. They never expected that because they offended the Song family, this matter would be revealed by Ling Xiao .

No wonder someone said not to easily offend monks. Li Shitou and Wang's lips were trembling. If they hadn't seen Ling Xiao's brutal behavior just now, they would beg Ling Xiao to let them go.

Because they were a little afraid that the matter would be exposed, and if it was found out, the Li family's reputation would be stink, but they moved their mouths a few times before making a sound, knowing that the other party would never agree to their request.The other party just wanted to humiliate them, how could they let them go?
The other people who were watching were very surprised. What's going on?Who is Zhang?Why did Li Shitou and his wife look terrified, as if they wanted to do something but dared not do anything.

On the contrary, Li Shitou widened his eyes in astonishment and looked at Li Shitou. Speaking of him, he was a little older than Li Shitou. The reason for this was that Li Shitou actually had several older brothers, but he died because of the clan relationship. As a result, Li Shitou's father fell out with the clan. Li Shitou belongs to the kind of old man, so he is younger than Li Chang.

It is precisely for this reason that the head of the village still remembers some things about Mrs. Zhang. Ms. Zhang is the daughter-in-law that Li Shitou's father favored. What a beauty, she is not as good-looking as Wang Shi.

But the old man of the Li family once said that he wanted to find a educated woman to be his daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Zhang was selected for this reason.Mrs. Zhang belongs to the kind of woman who came from a family with education. She has always been well-educated, and she is also very smart and capable.

When she got married, Zhang's family didn't give too much money, because someone in the Zhang family wanted an imperial examination and didn't have much money, but they brought back all the dowry gifts and two boxes of books, which made my father-in-law very satisfied.

Not long after Mrs. Zhang got married, she was pregnant with a child. In the eyes of the old man, she was very happy. It's just that Mrs. Zhang's life was unlucky. When she was in the late pregnancy, she suddenly gave birth prematurely for some reason.

At that time, the work in the field was quite busy, and the due date of delivery was not yet reached. All the family members went to work in the field, so no one was kept. No one knew that she had a baby. When the rest came back, she could not save her. Only one newborn was left behind. Son.

It is difficult for children without mothers to take care of them. Men are not very efficient in taking care of children. At that time, there were almost no men who could take care of children. They were more suitable for playing with children than taking good care of them.

Li Shitou told his father that he did not keep filial piety for his wife for the sake of his children, and married Wang as his stepmother early on. After a long time, everyone gradually forgot about Zhang.That is to say, the village chief's father still remembered that Li Han had another biological mother, but most of the village had forgotten Zhang's.

After all, Mrs. Zhang died too early. Before she married into the village, she started to get pregnant before she had time to make friends with the women in the village. Later, she mainly cared for the baby and did housework, so she had no chance to be friends with other women. Naturally, no one returned her. Remember that little daughter-in-law.

Li Chang didn't know until now that Li Shitou didn't like Mrs. Zhang at all.Can't!Unless it's that kind of relationship early on
The head of the village remembered that there was no sacrifice in front of Zhang's grave, and he did not burn paper during the festivals, and he did not make a proper offering. He looked at Li Shitou with a bit of condemnation, because he somewhat thought that the other party would do this. What happened to this?Why do you do this?
Ling Xiao looked at Li Shitou. At this moment, he was pulling Wang Shi, and the husband and wife knelt down with a plop, cold sweat kept breaking out on their foreheads, and there was a bit of pleading in their eyes. They wanted to keep Ling Xiao from saying it, but Knowing that it was completely impossible, this Taoist priest was their enemy, but he still knelt down and begged for mercy.

Ling Xiao snorted lightly, and said lightly: "You still want Pindao to keep it a secret for you? Delusion! You adulterers and prostitutes have lived so well for so many years, but Mrs. Zhang was so angry that you gave birth and died prematurely.

You are still oppressing Zhang’s son everywhere, and there has been no retribution these years, so that your mentality has swelled, and you forgot the saying: Good and evil are rewarded, and you wantonly suppressed and calculated Zhang’s son’s family, thinking that God will not give you Nemesis? "

Li Shitou and his wife looked at Ling Xiao in horror. This matter has passed for a long time. The two of them have been deliberately erasing the traces of Zhang. Even Li Han didn't know that he had a mother. One of the reasons for not letting him have a future is that they don't want outsiders to know Zhang's situation, and it is best to be forgotten forever.

The people eating melons were almost stunned, what?Why are there so many melons?Are these two still hooking up?A young man glanced at Mrs. Wang. She was an old woman with dark skin and a mean face. How could she hook up with Li Shitou?
I don't know what Li Shitou's eyes are, but he fell in love with her, is he blind?Someone was muttering.In addition to being frightened, Wang was also a little angry at the moment, because she heard someone in the village call her ugly.

This discovery made her unacceptable. You must know that Li Shitou had true love for her and had always been kind to her, but as a beautiful woman who used to be very beautiful, she definitely didn't want to be called ugly.

Ling Xiao almost died laughing when she heard this. In her eyes, she doesn't comment on how Wang looks like, because time is a butcher's knife, and knives make people grow old. Many good-looking beauties are not beautiful when they get old.

But Ling Xiao's only feeling is that Mrs. Wang is very short. No wonder her biological sons are relatively short. The head of the village still remembers that Mrs. Wang was quite pretty when she was young.

In terms of beauty, Mrs. Wang did surpass Mrs. Zhang when she was young, but now that she is older, and there is no cash cow Mrs. Song, her money is much less, which makes her face more bitter.

Ling Xiao looked at the two people who were leaning on each other and snuggled together in amazement, "Mr. Zhang and the old man would be furious if they knew about the underground, and Li Shitou doesn't know if you go underground, will you go to the [-]th floor of hell? "

Li Shitou trembled when he heard this, because speaking of it, he was more afraid of his own father. When the old man was alive, he only dared to do it secretly, and did not dare to confront him openly. After the old man passed away, he began to let himself go.He has never dared to think about what to do if he goes to the Underworld after he fails?
After hearing Ling Xiao's words, Li Shitou's body trembled intensified. After seeing this scene, Ling Xiao then turned his gaze to Wang, "I was wondering why Li Hai reported false accounts when he was young. It turned out to be a family history. .

Mrs. Wang, you yourself know the value of Song's women's embroidery, and you deliberately want your youngest son Li Hai to take advantage of it, right?After receiving the money exchanged for the Song family's embroidery, they still say that the Song family is lazy and can't do any work. "Speaking of this, Ling Xiao looked at Wang Shi.

I don't know why Ling Xiao's flat voice made Wang very angry, and felt extremely wronged. A series of shouts came out in her heart: Why did she become a stepmother? She knew Li Shitou earlier, and she wanted to marry Li Shitou after feeling very wronged. cry.

Finally she broke out unbearably, "So what? When I think that Li Han is Zhang's son, I am very angry. Obviously we have been together for a long time, but Shitou's father disagrees desperately and insists on letting Zhang in. what?"

Ling Xiao wanted to laugh when she heard this. If Wang's speech had been changed at another time, she would have won the applause of many people. Her words would have been welcomed by many people. After all, marriage is free!

Maybe in the eyes of a certain type of people in later generations, Wang's behavior is not bad, and she can be portrayed as a woman who opposes the feudal patriarchal system, and Li Shitou and Wang are the pacesetters of anti-feudalism.In modern society, if you want to get married, you need the consent of both parties. Arranged marriages are illegal.

But after all, Mrs. Wang lives in the present, with an education of three obediences and four virtues, and the words of a matchmaker who asks her parents to order her. Parents play the most important role in a marriage, which is why the people on the side look at her with disapproval.

Looking at the chattering Wang Shi, Ling Xiao listened quietly. Seeing Wang Shi continue to act, Ling Xiao didn't know what to say. When she faced Li Han and his wife, her position changed, and she repeatedly used feudal etiquette to restrain others.

Judging from her behavior, Wang still feels that what she did is not wrong. She probably thinks that she and Li Shitou belong to the kind of true love that was separated by a bad father. Is it the third party at all?

Since this is the case, she should belong to the kind of warrior who opposes feudal ethics, so Ling Xiao is very puzzled: why does she use the privileges of her elders to suppress Li Han and his wife in her daily life?What a fighter against feudal ethics! ?In short, as long as it is for your own good, you don't care about other people's life or death.

The co-author waited until the feudal etiquette was useful to her, then her attitude changed, and she began to use feudal etiquette arbitrarily, and she was plausible in the face of other people's accusations.

Ling Xiao couldn't agree with this behavior. If she wanted to oppose feudal ethics, she would always oppose feudal ethics. If Wang could really do this, she could get Ling Xiao's heartfelt approval, because she had always been anti-feudal ethics.

In fact, Wang did not always insist on her own ideas, so she is a double-standard GOU at all. The theory of true love she keeps talking about is a bit rebellious in this era of filial piety.

The remarks of people like Wang gave Ling Xiao a feeling: Wang's words and deeds have always carried the confidence that I am the most reasonable fan in the world!This person's surname should not be Wang, but Li. What she says is all reasonable, and you don't need to care about what others say.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, and he turned to ask the head of the village: "Head of the village, I don't know if I should ask a sentence from Pindao. Now the marriages in your village are all decided by themselves like Wang's? Self-seeking? Do you still need orders from parents and words from matchmakers?"

The head of the village who had been listening was a little dazed. He didn't expect Mrs. Wang to say such words. After hearing Ling Xiao's words, he woke up and said, "Master Dao, of course, these days are the words of the matchmaker. Matchmakers are not good things."

The head of the village didn't look at Wang Shi at all, because he felt that the other party looked dirty. It was dirty from the bottom of his heart. He was afraid that he had hooked up with someone long ago. Shi gave birth prematurely and almost killed two people. The hearts of these two people are really cruel.
