90s Little Struggle

Chapter 4 Framing
The people eating in the living room next door heard Zhao Long screaming and Xiao Hong shouting 'help', so they also got up and went over.

They didn't suspect that Xiao Hong was the first to attack, and they all thought that Zhao Long was playing hooligan after drinking too much, and Xiao Hong beat him when he resisted.

"Stop shouting, let people hear the joke." Liu Meijuan went there first, saw Xiao Hong waving the pole and wanted to hit someone, and hurried forward to grab the pole.

She felt a little strange, how could there be a pole in their room?

Unfortunately, after her mother-in-law passed away, she didn't dare to step into the room where her mother-in-law and stepdaughter lived.

She also felt that her heart was in conflict, and she was always suspicious that her mother-in-law was still lying on the bed watching her, so she wanted to tear down the old house and build a new one.

Zhao Long was hit by two shoulder poles, his face turned blue from the pain, and when he saw his parents coming in, he quickly hid behind them and yelled in tears: "Mom, she dares to hit me, you clean her up for me! Beat her to death!" ..."

Xiao Hong felt very sorry that they came too fast, and she hadn't had fun yet?

But now she has lost her chance. Seeing that Liu Meijuan was holding on to the pole, she simply pushed it and then let go.

"Ouch!" Liu Meijuan was not wary of her daring to push herself, and took a step back uncontrollably, but got out of the way.

But Xiao Hong took the opportunity to run out, crying and shouting: "Second Grandpa and Second Uncle, help me..."

There are only four families in Shantou Village whose surname is not Xiao.

The family surnamed Xiao is said to have settled in Shantou Village more than a hundred years ago in order to escape the war, so they are all related.

Grandpa Xiao Hong had four brothers in his generation, and Grandpa Xiao was the eldest. After his death, the position of captain fell to the second grandpa.

The second grandfather's two sons, the eldest is an officer in the commune, and now the second is the village head, and the house where Xiao Hong and the others live is separated by a grove field.

Now it's lunch time, and Xiao Erye's family is also talking about Xiao Jianjun and the others being arrested for gambling while eating lunch, and guessing that there is a van parked in front of Xiao Jianjun's house, is it Liu Meijuan's natal family who has come?

At this moment, when he heard Xiao Hong crying, Second Master Xiao also put down his bowl and chopsticks and went out.

Erye Xiao was tall and tall when he was young, but now he is nearly seventy years old, and his back is a little hunched, but the momentum is still there, and he asked calmly, "Xiao Hong, what happened?"

They have a good relationship between brothers. Before Grandma Xiao passed away, the granddaughter Xiao Hong was the most worried. She specially left a message for Xiao Erye and the others, asking them to take more care of Xiao Hong.

Now that Xiao Jianhua is still singing tears behind bars, Liu Meijuan must have taken the opportunity to embarrass Xiao Hong.

As far back as Xiao Hong could remember, it was the first time she hit someone, and it was also the first time she planned to frame someone else. I don’t know if it was because she was too nervous, or because she was not proficient in business. on the ground.

In the eyes of Second Master Xiao and the others, this meant that the grandniece was frightened.

Xiao Hong was also a little confused, but fortunately she reacted quickly, hugged Second Master Xiao's leg, and cried: "Second Grandpa, Auntie, she finds someone to bully me, I don't want to, that man said they agreed, They bought me for 3000 yuan!"

"I also said that my dad was imprisoned because my aunt went to inform me in private, because I was afraid that my dad would not want to know about it at home..."

Liu Meijuan, who followed after her, couldn't believe what she heard.

"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Meijuan's face was distorted in anger, and she stared at her with the desire to kill her: "Your father also knows about this, and besides, the Zhao family is such a good family! It's not certain whether they can take a fancy to you !"

She came a step late, but she didn't expect to be splashed with dirty water by her stepdaughter.

In fact, she heard Zhao Long saying not to marry Xiao Hong, a tigress, for fear that she would be beaten to death.

But both Master Xiao and Uncle Xiao are more willing to believe Xiao Hong's words.

After all, the child Xiao Hong was raised by them. He was obedient and honest since he was a child, and he would never slander others with nonsense.

Second Grandma Xiao pulled Xiao Hong up, looked at Liu Meijuan with a frown, and said angrily, "Who are you scaring? Even if your mother-in-law is gone and Jianhua is not at home now, it is not your turn to make decisions about Xiao Hong."

Second Master Xiao glanced at his son, and said calmly: "Go to Jianhua's house to see those guests."

Liu Meijuan became anxious when she heard this.

Although she didn't understand why her stepdaughter was talking nonsense today as if she had hit an evil spirit.

But Zhao Long at home really couldn't do it. Anyone who saw it would think that he promised Xiao Hong to someone like Zhao Long for money.

Therefore, she subconsciously stopped Second Uncle Xiao: "Jianming, haven't our two families reached an agreement yet?"

Xiao Jianming's daughter-in-law, Zou Aihua, is a woman who can speak well, but she is also very jealous and treats her man very strictly.

Seeing that Liu Meijuan wanted to pull her man, she quickly stepped forward and pulled Liu Meijuan away, with a smirk: "Everyone has come to the door, what should I say? Could it be that we have to wait until the date is set before we can make an agreement?"

If there were not more and more people watching, she would have wondered if the price was not agreed?

Xiao Hong's shrill cry earlier caused quite a commotion, most of the village probably heard it,
Several seven or eight-year-old children may have been sent out by their families to see the situation. They glanced at the situation here, turned around and ran back to report.

Xiao Hong knew in her heart that her family had contributed to the entertainment and gossip in the village, and it would definitely make the whole village boil.

You know, it's July in the Gregorian calendar, and it's noon, which is the hottest time in summer, but people in the village have come to join in the fun one after another, completely ignoring the scorching sun.

On Xiao Jianming's side, the first time he saw Zhao Long, he believed Xiao Hong's words.

This person really looks too shabby, if it were Lou Fenfang, Liu Meijuan would definitely not want to accept this marriage.

He also quickly invited Aunt Liu and the Zhao family out.

Father Zhao's heart was already beating up and retreating, not to mention that his son was unwilling to be beaten by Xiao Hong, even they regretted it.

The woman is so fierce, and when they get old, it is impossible for their son to be more promising. I am afraid that the entire Zhao family will be taken over by Xiao Hong.

So Father Zhao wanted to slip away first: "Brother, my son was beaten several times by Xiao Hong with a shoulder pole, and now he is swollen. We want to send him to the hospital first, okay?"

He also knows that some villages in the countryside are very clumped together.

Otherwise, how could there be an old saying that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and bad waters?
Xiao Jianming heard him put the responsibility on Xiao Hong, and sneered with a sullen face: "It doesn't seem like something is wrong with him. I am Uncle Xiao Hong, and now Jianhua is not here. We will take care of Xiao Hong. You should cooperate." Make it clear before you go home late."

There was a blatant threat in his words, if they didn't make it clear, they wouldn't be able to leave.

Zhao's mother was furious when she heard this, and turned red and angry at Aunt Liu who was curled up aside as a quail: "This is the girl you said is gentle, sensible, and good-natured? Let's forget about it, we can't afford it!"
