Chapter 47

After Guiya told her about her plan, Lu Jiaoyue went home anxiously.

She could see Gui Ya's determination, so she couldn't say anything to stop her.In fact, if you think about it differently, this is fine, if you put it to death and then live, people will not be able to survive, so what do you want to be famous for?
It's just that she was still worried after all, so Lu Jiaoyue seemed a little out of her mind.

When Lu Guangyi came back from the outside, he glanced at his sister who was squatting there washing vegetables, but she didn't know what she was thinking while washing, and couldn't help walking over.He didn't ask too much, just walked over and moved the basin under Lu Jiaoyue's hand, and squatted there to help her wash the vegetables.

"Big brother."

Lu Guangyi nodded and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Lu Jiaoyue didn't hide anything, "I'm thinking about Gui Ya, she plans to..."

"What is she planning?"

Lu Jiaoyue took a light breath and whispered something in Lu Guangyi's ear.Lu Guangyi was very surprised, and Lu Jiaoyue said again: "I'm a little worried about her, and I'm afraid there will be an accident in the middle."

Lu Guangyi pondered for a moment: "Although I don't agree with her actions, I can understand what she means. How about this, don't worry about this matter, I will find someone to help take care of Chen's house, what will happen then? Come and let us know."

Looking for someone to help watch?It was only then that Lu Jiaoyue remembered that her eldest brother had a friend named Shuanzi who lived next to Chen's house.Then nodded.

Things came quickly.

In the afternoon of the next day, the young man named Shuanzi rushed to Erfang's house, sweating profusely, and yelled that Gui Ya of the Chen family had hanged himself before he stepped through the door.

For the past two days, Lu Jiaoyue and Lu Guangyi stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. Mrs. Mei was also at home.When they heard this, they all ran out.

Lu Jiaoyue and Lu Guangyi didn't have time to talk to Mei Shi, so they ran outside, and Mei Shi followed.

"Brother Guangyi, after you tell me, I'll keep an eye on it for you. Our house and Chen's house share the same courtyard wall. When I heard something nearby, I set up a ladder to look. The old lady Chen even scolded me a few words, I didn't Take care of her." Shuanzi is 15 years old this year, and he is still a half-grown boy, and his words are very funny, and it is obviously a matter of human life, which adds a lot of jokes to his mouth.

"Is Guiya alright?" Lu Jiaoyue asked anxiously.

Shuan Zi's face turned red, he took a sneaky look at Lu Jiaoyue, touched the sweat on his face with his hand, and said, "It should be fine, I saw that Gui Ya's father said he was going to ask for a doctor."

Only then did Lu Jiaoyue breathe a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to delay, she didn't notice the other party's strange expression.

When Mei Shi on the side heard this, she pulled her daughter back, "What did you two do? Why didn't you explain why you were staring at each other?"

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and then Lu Jiaoyue pulled Mei Shi aside, and whispered to her about the matter while walking.

"You are too courageous, this kind of thing can be used as a joke!" Mei scolded.

Lu Jiaoyue's expression was a little guilty, she knew her mother would react like this, so she kept it from her mother before.

"Mother, you also know about Guiya's family..."

Mrs. Mei interrupted: "If something happens, what do you guys do? You are really children, and such things can be used to make trouble." As he spoke, Mrs. Mei couldn't help walking a little faster.

The second room of the Lu family and his party acted in a hurry, and some villagers inevitably asked curiously what happened.

Mrs. Mei didn't help to hide it, and with what her daughter said to her just now, she felt that the bigger the situation, the better, so she said, "The girl of the Chen family hanged herself, and this child is real, I don't know There's nothing you can't think about."

Those who heard it were suddenly in an uproar.

Just like this, while walking towards Chen's house, people kept joining in.

It's been more than ten years since the last time that she was hanged in Daxi Village. A daughter-in-law was tortured by her mother-in-law, and she couldn't think of hanging herself.This girl from the Chen family is a big girl with yellow flowers, what kind of hurdles can she get through so much that she wants to hang herself?But thinking of the careless old lady of the Chen family, it seems that everyone can understand why, and they can't help sighing that they have committed crimes.

When they came to the front of Chen's house, the courtyard door of Chen's house was locked tightly from the inside.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Jiaoyue couldn't care less about being extravagant, so she hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Gui Ya, Gui Ya, are you there?" She shouted at the top of her voice.

"Why did you close the door when something like this happened?"

"Then what does Mrs. Chen want to do? This is a matter of human life..."

There were people discussing on the side.

Lu Jiaoyue was so anxious that tears were about to come out, she looked at Shuanzi and said, "Didn't you say that Daddy Gui went to invite a doctor?"

Shuan Zi scratched his head and said, "That's what he said when I left, and the door of the Chen family was not closed before I left."

Suddenly, Lu Jiaoyue felt bad, and shouted loudly outside again. Seeing that something was wrong, some villagers also shouted outside for Mrs. Chen to open the door.

In the big house of the Chen family, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen were shocked when they heard the movement outside.

Chen Tiegen stood up from the ground as if awakened by a start, and growled, "Mother, tell me to call a doctor. The big girl is not in good condition. If there is no doctor to see her, I'm afraid it's..."

Mrs. Chen jumped up, as if she had been scalded by boiling oil, and shouted: "What kind of doctor do you want, a worthless loser, you need to spend money to hire a doctor!"

Xiao Chen pulled her from behind and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't you forget about the Han family?"

Mrs. Chen didn't care to cover it up anymore, she glared at Mrs. Chen, "Why is the Han family not the Han family? In order not to marry, this girl threatened my old lady. The threat was so good that she dared to hang herself and let her die. I think she has the ability to die for me!"

She wanted to continue cursing, but was suddenly frightened by a mournful cry as if a mother beast had died.

"Die, go to hell, if something happens to my daughter today, I will ask you Chen family to pay for my daughter's life!"

It was Gui Ya Niang, this cowardly and incompetent woman, this woman whose back was crushed by not being able to give birth to a son, seemed to have suddenly opened her eyes. She stared fiercely at Mrs. Chen and Xiao Chen, Staring at his man, Chen Tiegen.

"Chen Tiegen, are you a man? Since you obey your mother in everything, what do you do with a wife and children?"

"Okay, you dare to dance with my old lady? Boss, beat her to death!"

Chen Tiegen hesitated and said, "Mother..."

Gui Yaniang bowed her waist and bumped her head at the two of them, "Hit, come on, beat me to death. I know you all longed for me to die so that I could make room and marry someone who can have a son. Hit, today If you don't kill me, you're not a man."

Chen Tiegen didn't expect his mother-in-law to behave like this, and was bumped and staggered.Mrs. Chen dodged again and again, scolding Miss Gui for being capable, and Miss Gui took the time to shout, "Taoya, open the door and find someone outside to rescue your sister."

Tao Ya, who had been blocked in the room by Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, suddenly found a free time and ran out.

The courtyard door was quickly opened, and a large group of people poured in.

Lu Jiaoyue ran the fastest, and when she entered the big house, she was calling Gui Ya.Mrs. Mei followed closely behind, and walked in, saying loudly: "Liu Cuilan, Liu Cuilan, let me tell you what's good about you, you can't even protect your daughter, you are still a mother."

Immediately afterwards, she looked at the scene in the room, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Sister-in-law Ming Hai, you are right, I am useless." Liu Cuilan, also known as Lady Gui, stood up straight, and smiled wryly, disheveled.

"Let's not talk about this, what's wrong with Guiya, and what are you guys doing?"

Gui Yaniang wiped away her tears, stared fiercely at Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, and said, "They were going to sell my daughter, but my girl didn't want to, so she hanged herself."

As she spoke, she sat down on the ground and began to cry.

"Chen Tiegen, Chen Tiegen, since I married into your Chen family, I honor my parents first, and love my younger brother. I have nothing to do to your Chen family except that I didn't give birth to you a son... You are a wimp, allowing your mother to bully our mother I have been a daughter for many years, and my eldest girl is not as high as the table, so I was made to work for the family by your mother. That's all, the children of which family don't work, but the children do work, and they are scolded and beaten from time to time ... It's also because I'm useless, I'm a mother who can't protect my daughter, I haven't given birth to a son, I can't straighten my waist... But my eldest girl has nothing to do to you, she is the blood of your Chen family, just For the 20 taels of silver, you are going to marry my eldest girl to the widower who killed two wives. My eldest girl refuses, but you forcefully force my girl to hang herself, and even stop me Go ask the doctor to save my daughter, you are all heartbroken and devoid of conscience..."

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and everyone onlookers were amazed.

"...If my eldest girl is good today, that's fine. If it's not good, the four of us, mother and daughter, will be hanged in your Chen's house together. Let God take a good look at who you are..."

At this time, two people squeezed in from the crowd. It was a kind-hearted villager who found a doctor.

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here, let me go."

Miss Gui didn't care about crying anymore, she got up and rushed forward to pull the doctor, and ran to the kang.

After the doctor's rescue, Gui Ya woke up soon.It's also God who feels sorry for the poor, but fortunately he was rescued in time, Guiya is fine, she just got angry.

"My miserable daughter..."

Gui Ya coughed a few times, then hugged her mother and cried.

Crying so much that everyone present felt sore in their hearts.

"very pitiful……"

"It's not..."

"This old lady of the Chen family is too cruel..."

"It's still useless to be a father..."

Mrs. Chen was furious, she jumped up and scolded: "What are you looking at, what are you looking at? Get out, watch the excitement and see someone coming home."

There was that person with a sharp mouth who replied, "Let's take a look at Qiqi, what does the first grandma in Daxi Village look like who forced her granddaughter to death?"

"Mrs. Chen, I'm not talking about you, you are too cruel. This is the blood of your Chen family, and I'm not afraid that it will be retribution on your eldest grandson."

Mrs. Chen has a personality of being unreasonable and not forgiving. When someone said that she had a precious grandson, how could she spare him, she immediately rushed forward to beat him up.

Everyone already hated her. Seeing that she was going to rush into the crowd and beat people, they all rushed to help stop her. Some people shouted that she was too arrogant and had to find someone to restrain her. Don't spoil the village spirit of Daxi Village. .Some people in the crowd yelled to find Li Zheng, and others agreed one after another.

Li Zhengben saw that there was a lot of commotion, so he came over to see what was going on.As soon as he heard someone calling himself, he answered outside.So in the blink of an eye, the gray-haired Li Zheng was pushed in.

Everyone talked about the ins and outs of the matter, and wanted to invite Li Zheng to come forward and teach Mrs. Chen a lesson.

But this kind of thing is where Li Zheng can get in his mouth. As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework, let alone him who is small and Li Zheng.But Lizheng also hated this Mrs. Chen very much, hated her ugly face, hated her relying on the old, hated her gossiping in the village all day long, so he cleared his throat, and after the surroundings became quieter, he asked Gui Yaniang: " From Chen Tiegen's family, what are you going to do about this?"

Gui Ya Niang was taken aback for a moment, and her face became a little dazed.

The reason why she was so excited was also stimulated by the hanging of her eldest daughter. Now that her daughter is not dead, she doesn't know what to do next.

Seeing her mother's expression, Gui Ya felt like crying in her heart, and she didn't care about other things, she got up from the kang, rushed to Li Zheng, knelt down in front of Li Zheng, and cried, "Grandpa Li Zheng is the master."

"Poor child." Lizheng looked at Guiya's pale face and the fleeting bruise on her neck, and sighed, "How do you want Grandpa Lizheng to decide for you?"

Guiya cried: "I don't know what to do. One is my father and the other is my grandma. They are both my elders. What can I do as a junior. But I am also afraid. I am afraid that my grandma will kill you." Sell ​​it again, I'm afraid that my two younger sisters will be sold out like me, I don't care what I do, but I can't bear my two younger sisters..."

"Sister..." Taoya and Xiaoya walked over, hugging their elder sister and crying.

The three sisters are all skinny and ragged.Daxi Village is not rich, but it is not so poor that the children of any family are like this.All of a sudden, the people who witnessed this scene sighed and shook their heads repeatedly.

Gui Ya Niang was stunned on the spot, and she was stunned from the moment her daughter said these words.

This woman, she has accepted the dogma of obeying her father at home and obeying her husband when she gets married since she was a child. She has not learned to resist, she will only accept it.

"It's all here, just be patient..." This is what her mother said to her.

Especially when she gave birth to three daughters in a row but failed to give birth to a son, she became even more emboldened.She was submissive, and she taught her three daughters to do the same, but it didn't seem to be successful. The eldest daughter was more independent than she imagined. Although the second daughter was not like the eldest daughter, she could also see that she had a big idea. It's just that the youngest daughter is still young and ignorant.

Whenever she saw the way her eldest daughter looked at her mother-in-law and younger siblings, she was terrified.She was afraid, but she didn't even know what she was afraid of.But she understood everything that she experienced just now.

Yeah, what is she afraid of?If you are afraid of death, what else can you be afraid of?

The thin woman stood up, her back straight.It had been a long time since she straightened her back like this, and it could be seen that she seemed a little unaccustomed to it, but she still insisted on it.

She wiped away the tears on her face, walked step by step in front of the front, knelt down beside the three daughters, and said, "Uncle, I want to reconcile, the Chen family dislikes me for not being able to have a son, and dislikes my three daughters. A worthless loser. In that case, I will make peace with him, Chen Tiegen, and I will leave with my three daughters. From now on, my mother and daughter will live or die, and have nothing to do with their Chen family."

Li Zheng was shocked and said: "Girl Lady Gui, this is not a trivial matter, have you thought about it? How can you live as a woman with three children?"

Gui Ya Niang smiled miserably, and said: "I can work, and my eldest girl and second girl can also work. I can't starve myself to death. Even if I starve to death, it's better than being pushed into a fire pit someday. Death Are you not afraid anymore, are you still afraid of starving?"

"But you have to consider the reputation of your three daughters, in the future they..."

Before Lizheng could finish speaking, Guiya said, "Grandpa Lizheng, I'm not afraid. People don't have to live for fame, and those who are willing to marry me will definitely not care about my reputation. What's more, I don't blame us, I can only blame those who The one who drove us to nowhere."

Li Zheng saw that he could not persuade the two of them, so he reprimanded Mrs. Chen with a heartbroken voice: "What do you want to say, you old woman? I have never seen an old woman like you. You forced your daughter-in-law and granddaughter to death, and you can Have fun? And Chen Tiegen, this is your mother-in-law and your daughter, why don't you say anything?"

Lizheng still didn't want Guiya and the others to go down this road. This road was obviously very difficult. This world is too harsh for women. How can a divorced woman bring three children to live.

Chen Tiegen murmured for a long time without murmuring a word.

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes and said, "What do I want to say? I didn't force her to go away, so go away if she wants to. Let's pretend that our family cares about how many girls she still has?! Useless things, even a son If you can’t even give birth, I’ll just see how you die after you get out! Still want to reconcile with my son, no way? I’ll let the boss divorce you first!”

Mrs. Chen's attitude was too arrogant, and Li Zheng, who was always kind to others, was very angry, so she stopped talking to her and just went to see Chen Tiegen.But Chen Tiegen really lived up to his reputation as a wimp, he didn't even dare to lift his head after hearing what his mother said.

Li Zheng sighed helplessly, and looked at Lady Gui, "Think it over, this is not a joke."

Gui Ya Niang nodded firmly: "Thought it over, I'll let Uncle make the decision."

In the end, Chen Tiegen still didn't break up to become Gui Yaniang, but the two reconciled.The Chen family didn't give the mother and daughter anything, except their clothes, not even the bedding.

Li Zheng tried to persuade him a few more words from the middle, but Mrs. Chen was always mean, and Chen Tiegen only listened to her mother, so he could only watch helplessly as Mrs. Gui and Mrs. Chen were kicked out by Mrs. Chen while holding a few ragged clothes. out of the house.

Seeing that the few people in the village were pitiful and had nowhere to go, he temporarily decided to let them live in an abandoned house in the village.And some villagers who watched the excitement also gave some food to this family and a few bowls to that family, and gathered some things for a few people to use first.

Lu Jiaoyue didn't expect things to turn out like this, but she couldn't care less about other things. She and Mrs. Mei went home and found some old clothes and old bedding that they didn't wear at home, and gave them to Gui Ya. The two mothers hugged her and stayed behind to help them clean up the place.

This house is already very dilapidated, with only half of the courtyard wall left. There are several rooms, but only the three rooms in the main house look complete. Even so, there are several holes in the roof, which can be I can see the sky outside, and the windows are also broken.But after all, there is a place to stay, so that a few people have nowhere to go.

"The roof has to be repaired, the windows and doors have to be replaced, and the yard has to be cleaned up. Weeds are growing. Anyway, it's slack season. I'll ask my boss to come and help you these few days." Mrs. Mei looked around, Said to Miss Gui.

Gui Ya Niang was so moved that she didn't know what to say, so she could only say thank you.

Mei said indifferently: "Thank you for what? I thought you were cowardly and incompetent earlier, but now I take back my words. You can do this for several daughters, I admire you."

Gui Yaniang's dry face turned red with embarrassment, and she rubbed her chapped fingertips with a wry smile, "What do you admire me for? It's because I was forced to do nothing. If I don't leave that house with my child, this After several children, none of them will be able to settle down."

"Mother..." Tao Ya and Xiao Ya snuggled up.

On the contrary, Gui Ya was calmer and said: "Mother, don't be afraid, the kind uncles and aunts in the village have given some food, we will go out to dig wild vegetables tomorrow, and we will be able to get through this year. Also, I am not young, so I can Go to the town to work, and next year we will open up some wasteland, so we won’t starve to death.”

"You're a girl from a family. You're going to town to do some work. It's going to be cold this day, and I don't know how to do it. It's no good. Mom will ask you for a few uncles. They won't look at us It doesn't matter if you starve to death."

Gui Ya didn't hold out hope, her mother and Li went out, it was shocking to the world, not to mention dragging three daughters.Her uncles may want to help them, but there are her aunts, especially her uncles have daughters, how can they let their reputation suffer.I'm afraid there is no rush to draw a line, let alone help them.

It's just that it's not easy for Gui Ya to speak out in person now. Her mother has always been cowardly, and she finally got back on her nerves. It's also for the sake of their sisters. At this moment, she must not break her last wish.Guiya thought about it, life may be difficult, but as long as she can leave that home, no matter how difficult it is, she is willing.She has hands and feet, and she is not stupid, so she will definitely not let her family starve to death.

Lu Jiaoyue also sighed, difficulties are foreseeable, but they can always get through.Even if they can't make it through, there are still so many people in the village, they won't just watch.She knew that the people in the village might have various problems, and they were all country people after all, so there was nothing wrong with them.If it doesn't work, her family can help, so can she.

"Auntie, I'll come tomorrow to help repair the roof first." Lu Guangyi couldn't say words of comfort, he could only do some practical things.

"Thank you, son of the Lu family."

"Thank you, Brother Lu, you are going to get married soon, I'm sorry to trouble you so much."

Mei Shi immediately wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to think of, so she hesitated to speak.All three members of the Lu family had such expressions, which inevitably caught Gui Ya's heart.It's just that she was too embarrassed to ask in front of people, so she could only think about asking her friends in private to find out what happened.

If you don't mention it, Guiya's family temporarily settled down in this abandoned house, and the three members of the second bedroom also went home.

Mrs. Chen never expected that things would develop to this point.

She was used to picking on the eldest daughter-in-law, thinking that her daughter-in-law was just making herself look bad in front of others, and wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of herself, but she never expected that she would become reconciled and leave the house.

She didn't feel sorry for Gui Yaniang's departure, but felt sorry for the 20 taels of silver from the Han family.Don't look at what she said very well at the time, let Gui Ya die, it was because she thought that the eldest granddaughter was dead, and the dowry money was destined to fly.Unexpectedly, the eldest granddaughter did not die, and the dowry money still flew away. Mrs. Chen was a little incapable of accepting it.

The same is true for Chen Tiegen. At this moment, he can't even imagine how Gui Ya's mother reconciled with him.He admitted that he was a little cowardly at home. Sometimes his mother would torture his daughter-in-law and beat and scold his daughter, but he didn't stand up.But which daughter-in-law didn’t come here like this. It’s only natural for a grandma to teach her granddaughter, especially since he doesn’t have a son, and he pointed to his mother to adopt a son from the second family’s family to pass on the incense to himself. Naturally, he dared not refute his mother. .

But he never expected that things would turn out like this.

Mrs. Chen was still cursing from embarrassment, calling Gui Ya Niang a slut, calling Gui Ya a scourge haunted by little ghosts, and even cursing her eldest son for not being able to control his daughter-in-law.In short, whoever was caught scolding whoever was caught, the second bedroom couple were smart, and ran away when the situation was wrong, and Chen Tiegen was the only one squatting in the corner listening to his mother scolding.

But scolding can't solve the problem anymore, the person ran away, and when the time comes, when the Han family comes to pick him up, what should he do if there is no one to give him?Only then did Mrs. Chen realize that she shouldn't have been so impulsive at the time, but it was too late to say anything now.

Just when the Chen family was worried about how to deal with the Han family, at this time the Han family came to withdraw the marriage, the reason was that Gui Ya's fate was hard to beat their Han family.

The Chen family was overjoyed. There has always been a rule that the man does not need to return the dowry gift if he destroys a relationship. Now the dowry gift does not need to be returned to the Han family.It's a pity that they are too naive, the Han family can be blackmailed if they want?That day, the Chen family showed signs of not wanting to withdraw the dowry money. The next day, a group of people came from the Han family village.

Daxi Village lived with mixed surnames, so I hadn't seen this kind of village with the same surname working in groups, but I had never seen it, and I had heard of it, and they all talked about the Chen family's bad luck.

After all, Chen's family is a model of the nest. Seeing that so many people from the Han family came at once, they couldn't stand in the yard, and there were many standing outside the yard.Mrs. Chen didn't dare to refuse to give the dowry money again, but because the dowry money didn't match, she had a fight with the youngest daughter-in-law, which made a lot of jokes.

The rumor about Gui Ya's bad fate naturally spread.

Lu Jiaoyue felt very sorry, because Han Jin did this, and she knew it at the time.

But Gui Ya didn't think much about it, anyway, her reputation is already bad, so it's okay to add another life.

In fact, the current situation is beyond what Guiya dared to imagine at the time. At that time, she pretended to hang herself to play tricks. Her grandma stopped her parents from saving her, but her parents did not dare to question her. Her heart was already cold. in half.She never expected that her mother would suddenly become violent, and even divorced her father for the sake of the three of them.

Anyway, she never thought about getting married in her life, she only thought about making money to support her family, marrying off her two younger sisters, leaving her to wait on her mother until she got old, so she didn't think about anything else.

Don't mention it, the sky is getting colder and colder. At this moment, a news came to Daxi Village.

The Pei family is actually proposing marriage to Pei Gui'e.
