Chapter 242 Xiao Shishiniang is not the daughter of the Xiao family

Three days later, they were promoted again. Xiao Fu and his wife cheated on the marriage first, but they couldn't return the dowry in full. They were sentenced to receive [-] sticks each and serve five years of corvee.

The men of the Dali Dynasty were from the age of 21 to the age of 60, and they were required by law to bear taxes, corvee and military service for the government.Xiao Fu's age is right in the middle, so besides paying taxes every year, he also has to serve one to two months of corvee.

According to the law, corvée can be paid for with money or food, and families with a little wealth will often give out more money and food in exchange for the males in the family not having to go out to serve.

The villagers of Dawei Village have worked for Shishi this year with Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao, and many of them have earned several times more money than in previous years. Ding did it.

The same is true for Xiao Fu's family. Some time ago when it was time to serve in the army, they directly paid for Xiao Fu, Xiao Erlang and Xiao Sanlang's father and son to offset the corvee service.

At that time, the whole family lamented that the better days were coming, especially Xiao Fu. When he got older, what he feared most was the dozens of days of corvee every year.Unexpectedly, not long after, the good times were gone, and he was sentenced to five years in prison.

Five years of corvée!This is his life!

In fact, Xiao Fu thought too much. He didn't wait until he was assigned to serve. He had already suffered from high fever due to the sixty sticks. Without medical treatment, he died within a few days.

Someone from Xiao's family came to carry his body back, and people from the second, second, and third houses exchanged money together to buy a coffin for burial.The reason why they exchanged money together was because all their family property was ordered to be compensated to the Changshun Escort Bureau, leaving only an old house that was evacuated.

This is Shisi asked Mei Xingzhi for help, sent a gift to the county government, and asked him to help keep the house.

It's not that she is full of sympathy, but that once the house is gone, Xiao Qilang may be the one who will be in the most trouble.Xiao Erlang and Xiao Sanlang dragged their families, and the possibility that they would really rely on Xiao Qilang, who is currently the wealthiest, is not impossible, but very high.

In order to avoid jumping over the wall in a hurry, it is better to leave some escape routes for them.

On the day of Xiao Fu's funeral, Shishi was not there.Not only the funeral, but this funeral period has never seen her figure.

This incident caused a lot of controversy in the village. Some people thought that filial piety should come first, even Xiao Fu would be sorry for Xiao Shishiniang, but as a daughter, her own father was not present at the funeral, which is really outrageous.

Some people also thought that Xiao Fu and his wife had done too much and broke the heart of Fourteenth Niang, so it was justifiable for her not to be present.

Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao have been paying attention to the trend of public opinion in the village, and they are relieved only after discovering that those who crusade against Fourteen's unfilial people are just a little louder and they don't dare to publicize it.

After the couple discussed it, in order to make Fourteen less troubled, they simply didn't mention it.

However, Lin's body was unexpectedly able to withstand it. After being tortured by the cane, he stayed in prison for half a month, and he managed to hold on.The day she left for the service site was the first day of October. When she saw the Xiao family who came to see her off, she shouted fourteen like crazy.

"Fourteen mothers, fourteen mothers, fourteen mothers!"

After all, they are a family, and Xiao Fu's funeral has just been arranged, which inevitably arouses the sympathy of everyone.So on the first day of October, everyone who could come came.

Tian Qiao was soft-hearted, and specially brought a bag with a few cotton-padded clothes in it.It will be winter in a few days, but Mrs. Lin is still wearing single clothes.

"Lao Qi, where's Fourteenth Niang?" Lin didn't find Fourteen, and grabbed Xiao Qilang, "Where's that little bastard? Where is she? Go and call her over!"

If Xiao Qilang saw Lin's misery at the beginning, he felt a little sympathy in his heart.After hearing her mouthful of a little beast, the good face could no longer be maintained.

He shook off Lin's hand: "Since I'm not here, I'm busy."

"I knew it, I knew that little bastard would not come over." Lin cursed, "That bastard with no conscience killed his father with his own hands, and was thinking of killing me too, so she just waited Let the sky strike her with lightning! God has eyes, and he will never let her go!"

When Tian Qiao got out of the car, she forgot to prepare the luggage, and went back to get it.When I got it back, I just heard Lin's words of cursing, and instantly felt that I really disgusted myself, and actually prepared clothes for this kind of person.

She squeezed the bundle in her hand, and felt unlucky to bring it home, so she wanted to throw it away.But I felt that throwing it away was not enough to relieve my anger, so I happened to see a few other people who were sent to do corvee in the same batch as Lin, and I had a plan.

Tian Qiao took the bundles and went to those who had no family members to give them away, and distributed the prepared cotton clothes to each of them.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Lin saw it and asked, "Give them clothes if you know them, but what about mine?"

Tian Qiao glanced at her coldly, not wanting to talk to her.

Mrs. Lin cursed Tian Qiao again.

"What about you two, didn't you bring me a piece of clothing?" After scolding, she looked at the second and third daughters-in-law Xiao, "You want to freeze me to death?"

"Mom, why are you so embarrassed to ask us for clothes? Don't you know what's going on at home?" Xiao Er's daughter-in-law didn't feel that she was in the wrong. Where did you go to prepare clothes for you, even after you ate your last meal?"

"Yeah, mother, you only think about yourself, and you don't even think about our difficulties." Xiao San's daughter-in-law followed suit, "If you and your father were not greedy for wealth and honor, you made her an engagement behind fourteen, and you accepted her so With so much dowry, can our family fall into this situation?"

"What did you two say? Believe it or not, I tore your mouths off?" Mrs. Lin didn't feel that she was wrong. She only felt offended when she heard what the two daughters-in-law said, and she didn't think it was an accusation, "Second and third, your daughter-in-law is Don't you care about treating your mother like this?"

"Mom? Are you really our good mother?" Xiao Er spat directly, "I would rather not have you as a mother!"

"Did they say something wrong?" Xiao San said, "If it weren't for you and father, our family would not have fallen to this level."

The words of the two daughters-in-law did not have any effect on Lin, but the attitude of the two sons hit her deeply.

"You...you...you are really my good sons!" Mrs. Lin sat down on the ground, patted her thighs and cried, "I really raised two good sons!"

"It's time, let's go!" The officer in charge of escorting the prisoner took a whip and whipped it in the air a few times, "What are you waiting for, let's go!"

"Xiao Shishiniang, she was not born to me, she is not from the Xiao family, she is a villain that no one wants!" Mrs. Lin was pushed forward by the officials, and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Lao Qi, are you not with her?" Are you on good terms? You go back and tell her that she is not the daughter of the Xiao family at all, but a castaway son!"

"I gave birth to a son back then, not her at all. The person who gave birth to her didn't want it, so she took my son away abruptly, and exchanged her for my son!"
