farmer's little girl

Chapter 54 Brother Yi, Take Me Away

"Who is this?" Mei asked.

The eagerness of the knocker can be clearly heard.

Mei thought of her elder sister who was always pestering her these days, and said to her eldest son, "Boss, go and have a look. If it's your elder aunt, tell her that your father is not here."

Lu Minghai, who was 'not at home', was sitting on the kang at this moment, smiling at Mrs. Mei.I really can't blame him for being so flattering. These days, my eldest sister comes to the door every day, let alone my wife is annoying, and he is also annoying.But you can't push them away, you can't fight them, you can only avoid them.

After a while, Lu Guangyi did not come back.

Goro leaned on the window and looked out, and suddenly he heard him ask in surprise: "Why is the girl from Pei's family here?" Goro used to call Pei Gui'e the future sister-in-law, but now she is that girl, so I have to say Children grow up very quickly.

Hearing this, the people in the second room looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help getting up from the kang.

When Lu Guangyi opened the courtyard door, he met a strange but familiar face.

After a moment of trance, I realized who it was.

He looked at the excited Pei Gui'e in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Brother Yi..."

Pei Gui'e wept bitterly, as if she had been wronged so much.

Lu Guangyi watched silently without making a sound. If he used to be sure to speak out to comfort him, but now he has lost this qualification.

Pei Gui'e cried a few more times, seeing that Lu Guangyi hadn't moved, she looked at him in surprise, "Brother Yi, why don't you comfort me?"

"Are you coming to my house for something?"

Pei Gui'e looked at him with a strange expression, and suddenly cried a few times, "You really changed your mind!"

Seeing her crying so much, Lu Guangyi sighed helplessly, and explained: "Gui'e, our two families have divorced now, and I, I am no longer qualified to comfort you. You will marry a good family in the future , I cannot ruin your reputation."

"But I didn't want to divorce! Brother Yi, I only have you in my heart, don't want me, okay?"

Pei Gui'e cried so heartbroken that she almost fell down.Helpless, Lu Guangyi could only stretch out his hand to help her, and she fell backwards, and Lu Guangyi hurriedly took a step back.

"Gui'e..."

"Brother Yi, why are you so cruel? I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, okay? Can you forgive me? Can you not let me go? I only have you in my heart, only you!" Pei Gui'e cried hysterically stand up.

Although it is winter, there are few pedestrians outside, but standing in front of the gate is like this, maybe you will be seen later.Out of consideration for the other party's reputation, Lu Guangyi turned sideways and let her come in first.

Pei Gui'e stepped in happily, crying and laughing, while explaining: "Brother Yi, that matter was decided by my mother that day, not what I wanted, Brother Yi, don't blame me, okay? "

Lu Guangyi looked at the funny-looking girl in front of him, seeing that she was so happy just because he let her in, his heart was even more sour.After all, in fact, he also liked her, but it's a pity that everything is out of control.

Knowing that it would be useless to talk too much, Lu Guangyi didn't want to continue this topic, so he asked, "What's the matter with you today?"

It was only then that Pei Gui'e realized that she had wasted so much time, and she didn't know if the family found out that she had sneaked out.As soon as she stepped forward, she grabbed Lu Guangyi's sleeve and told him the whole story incoherently.

Pei Gui'e may be impatient, or she may be too flustered, so her words are scattered, but Lu Guangyi still understands the ins and outs.

The two brothers of the Pei family told Pei Gui'e about a marriage. The object was a widower with two children. Pei Gui'e didn't want to marry, but it was a pity that protesting was useless. The family took her very seriously. Only then ran out to find Lu Guangyi.

"Brother Yi, I don't want to marry such a person. I only have you in my heart. Take me away, okay?"

Lu Guangyi was startled, and said with difficulty: "Take you away?"

Pei Gui'e nodded again and again, "Let's go out for shelter first, and we'll come back later, when the raw rice is cooked, my mother and brother can't say anything."

"But my home is here..."

"It's okay. No one told me when I came out. Even if my brother and they knew that I ran away with you, they couldn't find us, and they couldn't do anything about us. Brother Yi, can you take me away? I really I don't want to marry someone like that."

"But my family is here. If your brother and they know that I took you away, have you ever thought about the consequences my family will face?"

If the Pei family were talkative and sympathetic to the true feelings of the two little ones, maybe this matter would be fine and they would be careful to help cover it up. After the two came back, they would arrange a marriage for the two of them, and they would be able to cover it up.But if it is difficult to talk, Lu Guangyi will become a kidnapper who elopes with other people's daughters. At that time, the reputation of the second wife of the Lu family will be ruined.

Will the Pei family be easy to talk to?
Obviously not, they can exchange their own sisters for money, and the two brothers of the Pei family are obviously not good people.

Lu Guangyi looked at Pei Gui'e with a strange face. All along, he thought she was just soft-hearted and had no opinions of her own. Now, it seems that she is not only like that.

A voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

"Pei family girl, don't talk about it, let's stop this matter, you should go back quickly, lest your family members can't find you and worry."

It's May.

Mei Shi was very angry, but she still forcibly restrained herself from saying any nasty words.Instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, she didn't want to sprinkle salt on her son's wounds in this pawn.

Others from the second room followed suit.

Pei Gui'e was taken aback, and looked at the person she thought would be her mother-in-law, "Ms. Lu." She looked timid, obviously a little afraid of Mrs. Mei.

Mei sighed helplessly: "Girl, hurry back, don't let the family worry."

Pei Gui'e tugged at Lu Guangyi's sleeve, but still didn't want to lose it.

At this time, there was a loud voice outside the door.

The courtyard door of Erfang's house was clattered.

"Open the door, open the door!" Someone shouted.

Hearing this voice, Pei Gui'e's face turned pale.

It was Pei Erzhu's voice.

It was Mrs. Liu who found out that my sister-in-law was missing.

She didn't think much about it at the time, she thought that sister-in-law had gone to the latrine.

But the first class was nowhere to be seen, and the second class was still missing. She couldn't help feeling a little bad, and searched around the house, but couldn't find anyone.She felt bad, and hurried to find her man, Pei Erzhu.

Pei Erzhu was playing cards with someone.

Now it's cold and there's not much work to do, so usually at this time, many country guys either get together to drink a little wine and talk about the mountains, or play cards together in small groups.I don't play big games either, and winning or losing a game is only a few tens of pennies.

But recently, Pei Erzhu got rich and wanted to avenge his shame, so when others came to ask him to play cards, he said in advance that he would play a big game today.People who come here are not afraid of him, this Pei Erzhu has always had a bad luck, and those who often play cards together know it, otherwise they would not come to call him on purpose.Hearing what he said, the other people didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.

A piece of broken earth kang, with four or five men sitting around it, playing in full swing.Obviously, Pei Erzhu lived up to his reputation of being unlucky. He played more than a dozen tricks, all of which were paid by him, making him so angry that the top of his head was smoking, and swear words came out.

But everyone didn't take it too seriously. If someone came to the door and offered to give money, there's nothing to be surprised about.

Mrs. Liu found several places where men usually play cards, and finally found this place. He opened the door curtain, and people rushed in, ignoring the people beside him. Married to the widower, so sneaked away.

Pei Erzhu threw the card on the kang, jumped down, and gave Liu a heartfelt kick.

"What the hell do you think of people?"

Not only was he angry at his daughter-in-law for not looking good at her, but he was also angry at her for speaking out.No one would say anything about marrying someone to a widower. Anyway, his sister has a bad reputation, but telling people about sneaking away, especially this "sneaking away", has to make people imagine.

Sure enough, the people next to him put down the cards in their hands and kept asking what was wrong.

Pei Erzhu ignored them, and asked Mrs. Liu if she had found everything she should be looking for.Mrs. Liu replied that yes, after knowing that her sister-in-law had run away, she asked the rest of the family to look for him. I searched and couldn't find her.

Pei Erzhu's face was gloomy, he stood there thinking for a while, and then said to the people next to him: "You know that my sister was ruined by the Lu family in Daxi Village, that girl is stubborn, I guess she still has the Lu family in her heart." Boy, she has always been timid and dared to run away from home, someone must have given her some advice from behind. "

Obviously he wanted to mislead, and as expected, he listened to the side and said: "Then hurry up and find it!"

"Let's go, let's go with you, so that the Lu family won't admit it."

This is exactly Pei Erzhu's idea. Anyway, now that he has no face, he must always stand on the side of reason.He knew that his sister was a timid character, so he didn't need to guess, he knew where she had gone.But Pei Erzhu has other plans, but it's not appropriate to say it now.

Not much to say, Pei Erzhu invited these poker players to the village to call some people to go to Daxi Village together.

This village is bullying each other. If this kind of thing is just a few people, it is estimated that people in other villages will throw it out before there is a commotion.With more people, not only can you strengthen your courage, but you can also bully others.

On the other side, Pei Erzhu went home for a trip.

Father Pei was moaning and sighing, and Mrs. Mao was so anxious that she burst into tears. Pei Erzhu told about Pei Gui'e's possible visit to Lu's house, and the two realized that they were blinded.

Pei Erzhu pulled Pei Dazhu aside and talked for a while.Not long after, the two brothers separated and acted separately.

Hearing that he was going to Lu's family to ask for someone, Father Pei didn't say anything, but when he saw how big the two sons were, he felt a little uneasy.

He tried to persuade him a few words, but it was a pity that the two brothers Pei Dazhu didn't listen, and insisted that it was the kid from the Lu family who encouraged his sister to sneak away from home.Both Tian and Liu understood their man's character, so they naturally understood their plan, so they followed along and echoed.

Four mouths were open to one mouth, and the Mao family was unassertive in front of the two sons. Father Pei was clearly invincible and had no choice but to give up.

Without mentioning it, this group of people came to Daxi Village in a mighty manner. As soon as they entered the village entrance, they attracted the attention of the villagers.

This kind of formation seemed to be causing trouble, so some villagers came forward to stop these people.

"Which village are you from, and what are you doing here?"

Pei Erzhu said viciously: "We are from Xiaoxi Village, don't get in the way, we are not here to make trouble in your village, we are here to find someone."

"People from the Lu family in your village kidnapped my sister. We are here to ask for someone." Pei Dazhu shouted from the side.

Hearing this, the villagers who blocked people couldn't stop them anymore, so they could only get out of the way.

A group of people continued to walk forward, followed by a group of villagers from Daxi Village who heard the news.

When they arrived at the door, without saying a word, Pei Erzhu began to knock on the door.

"Open the door, open the door!"

Hearing this voice, Pei Gui'e turned pale, "It's my brother..."

The people in the second room looked at each other for a while, then Lu Minghai came forward with a serious expression on his face, and said, "Open the door, we haven't done anything wrong."

That being said, after the door was opened, a group of people rushed in, which still shocked the second room people.

There were people inside and outside the door, and the people brought by the Pei brothers filled the yard of the second room.

Of course, there were also a few villagers from Daxi Village who had a good relationship with the second house of Lu's family, who stepped forward to block them, fearing that the Lu Minghai family would be bullied because of the large number of people.

Looking at Pei Gui'e who was huddled behind the second bedroom of the Lu family, Pei Erzhu's eyes flashed, and he started to scream.

"Okay, let me just say that my sister is a coward. No one gives her advice. She never dares to sneak out of the house. Say, what do you Lu family want to do? You are the ones who ruined the relationship. Now abduct me The younger sister is still you!"

Erfang's family was very angry at this upside-down rhetoric.

Mrs. Mei reprimanded on the spot: "What a fool, our family kidnapped your sister? She came here by herself."

"Oh! The person was found at your house. Is it true that someone in your family kidnapped my sister? Only your Lu family knows. Anyway, I have eyes, and I can see my sister who should have been at home, but now at your house .”

A villager who was close to Lu Minghai stepped forward to persuade him: "The matter has not been clarified yet, so why are you putting on a big hat. Minghai's family are honest people, how could they abduct your daughter."

"That's right, that's right, if you use crutches, you won't be able to get married if you don't withdraw from the marriage at the beginning. It will take such a lot of effort."

The villagers of Daxi Village on the side echoed.

In this short period of time, many villagers came outside the yard. No matter what conflicts there are in the daily life, everyone has done a good job in unanimity.

Pei Erzhu had a gloomy face: "Anyway, the person is at your house, even if you go to the yamen, it is your house who kidnapped the big girl Huang Hua, what do you think about this matter?"

Hearing this, the Erfang family almost lost their temper.

Qiao Shi had heard the movement a long time ago and ran out, squeezing into the yard from the crowd.

Hearing this, she went crazy: "What should I do? The legs grow on your daughter's own legs, so others can pull her here! What's wrong, your Pei family cheated our family with a sum of money for the bride price? Satisfied, do you want to do it again?"

Hearing this, the people standing aside looked at each other in blank dismay, especially the villagers of Daxi Village.

Mrs. Qiao said straight away, "My second brother and second sister-in-law are benevolent and kind, and I don't bother to argue with you, but you, the Pei family, don't continue to show your face. How did the two families set up this marriage in the first place? The Pei family knows very well that if it wasn't for the kindness of my second brother and sister-in-law, your girl would have jumped into the river long ago."

"That's right, Ming Hai's family is benevolent and righteous. If it's someone else, who cares if you die or not."

"It seems that this good person can't be regarded as a good person. No one appreciates him. He has become a moth."

Villagers from Daxi Village agreed.

Qiao said again: "It was indeed us who ruined the relationship. As for why, your Pei family knows well that we are here to save each other's face, so I won't say much. Knowing that your daughter has a bad reputation, I'm afraid She won't get married in the future. We didn't ask for a single penny of the dowry that was sent to your family back then. Let alone a good dowry. The dowry is nine taels of silver. We are worthy of your Pei family, so don't blush White Fang will come to find fault with you!"

Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.

Not to mention that the villagers in Daxi Village didn't know about it, not many villagers in Xiaoxi Village knew about it.

When they heard people say that, they all looked at the three brothers and sisters of the Pei family with disapproving eyes.

It turns out that there is a story here. If it is true according to others, the second room of Lu's family can be regarded as the most benevolent.

As a result, some villagers from Daxi Village, who were complaining about injustice, came out, rolled up their sleeves and said, "You Xiaoxi Village came to our village to find fault, right? Our Daxi Village is not empty."

The villagers of Xiaoxi Village who came with the two brothers of the Pei family couldn't help but backed away, saying: "We are not here to find fault, because the two brothers of the Pei family said that the Lu family had abducted their daughter, so we came to ask for it." Human."

This kind of reason is reasonable, and the general villages do things like this. They will call the villagers of the same village if they are afraid of going to other villages to reason and be bullied.

The two brothers of the Pei family did not expect this to happen. According to their previous discussion, when they came, they could not help but put the big hat of kidnapping on the head of the second roomer of the Lu family. After that, they would naturally let them make conditions before they would let it go. .The family of the second bedroom of Lu's family is kind and talkative, especially they seem to be concerned about their younger sister, so they are sure that they will not give them a chance to refute, so they will get this done.But he never expected that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway, and he would publicize the matter as soon as he came up.

It was Qiao's ability to see this that made her stand out first.

She looked at Mrs. Mei, stomped her feet anxiously and said, "Second Sister-in-law, I know what your family has scruples about, but they don't feel sorry for their daughters anymore, so why do you still feel sorry for them! The people of the Pei family, to put it bluntly, are shameless." .”

The couple in the second bedroom couldn't help but glance at the eldest son, and everyone would say that if they retorted, the reason why they hesitated not to tear them out just now was not only because they felt sorry for Pei Gui'e, but also because they cared about the elder son's thoughts.

With the divorce from the Pei family, the son was already sad, so the second wife and his wife let Lu Guangyi decide for himself and did not go to the Pei family to ask for the dowry.They knew what their son was thinking, and they let gossip spread outside because of this, but they never thought of explaining anything.

It's easy to explain, but what about Pei Gui'e?I'm afraid she will add an even worse reputation to her already bad reputation.At that time, the son who was already guilty would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Lu Guangyi smiled wryly, feeling even more guilty towards his family in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Pei Erzhu yell, "Gui'e, tell me, did this kid from the Lu family abduct you!"

Pei Gui'e was a little overwhelmed. Ever since her two brothers rushed in with a group of villagers, she had been a little overwhelmed, and it was even worse at this time.She couldn't help but look at her second brother. What he saw in his eyes made her palpitate.

Everyone looked at Pei Gui'e, she couldn't help but took a step back, and then took another step back, she was very flustered, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Guangyi.

Lu Guangyi's heart skipped a beat, and Pei Gui'e nodded to his brother.After that, she covered her face with her hands, squatted there and cried.

As if he had caught something, Pei Erzhu jumped up and said, "How dare you say no, my sister is always honest, and she can't lie. Good for you, Lu Guangyi, how dare you abduct a woman from a good family!"

This is a big crime, and no one dares to find this crime on himself.

Pei Erzhu was really forced to go to Liangshan, and the situation just now was completely one-sided, and he fell to the Lu family.Including the people in their village, they also showed disapproving eyes to them.At that time, Pei Erzhu felt cold. He knew very well that if today's matter went wrong, their family would not be able to stand in the village in the future, and they might be kicked out of the village by Lizheng in the name of insulting the village.

Don't think that this kind of thing won't happen, so many people have come to Xiaoxi Village, and so many people have come to Daxi Village, the matter has already deteriorated, and it has risen to a matter between the two villages. will know.If Xiaoxi Village fails to return, it will definitely ruin the reputation of the village. When people mention Xiaoxi Village, they will say that the people in Xiaoxi Village are shameless, greedy for betrothal gifts, and falsely accused of abducting him house girl.

Outsiders will not talk to you about which family made it, they will only tell you which village it is from. Otherwise, Lizheng of each village would not pay so much attention to the reputation of the village outside.

It is very important to know the reputation of a village outside. When a man and a woman talk about marriage, the first thing people inquire about is the reputation of the village.Who would dare to marry a girl who came from such a place upon hearing such a reputation? If such a thing happens next time, no family can bear it.

It's just that Pei Gui'e also understands this truth, so she sided with her brother regardless of conscience.She can't turn a blind eye to the situation at home, otherwise she will become a sinner in the family.

"If your Lu family doesn't give us an explanation about today's matter, I'll take you, Lu Guangyi, to the government!" Pei Erzhu said again pressingly.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Maybe everyone understands that the Lu family has been wronged by this matter, but since all the girls of the family have come forward to testify, this matter is not good for the man.If you go to sue the officials, you will be sure once you sue, after all, except for the two parties, no one knows what the inside story is.And since a girl dares to testify against her reputation, even if it is not true, it will become true.

The eyes of the villagers in Xiaoxi Village flickered. Not to mention that the Pei family understands the key point, they also understand, but since they have been used as guns by the two brothers of the Pei family, they can only resist.No one dares to be confused about this kind of big right and wrong. This is not only related to a certain person, but to the whole village, so the only way to let the Lu family suffer this boring loss.

The villagers of Xiaoxi Village echoed one after another, and it was extremely noisy for a while.

And the people in Daxi Village also frequently winked at Lu Minghai and his son. Now everyone can see what the Pei brothers want to do.Since this kind of money-greedy person wants money, just give him some money, so as not to make a fuss at the county government, but will pay a lot of money to go in instead.

After all, anyone who is involved in meeting an official has to put money into it regardless of the reason.Reasonable, if you want to win the lawsuit, you have to spend money to bribe the county magistrate to not favor the other party.Those who didn't make any sense were afraid of being imprisoned, so they had to throw money into it.Isn't there an old saying that the gate of the yamen opens to the south, don't come in if you have a reason and no money.Now it is, as long as you dare to come in, you will hit [-] boards for no reason.

The Erfang family also understood this truth, so they also remained silent.

Lu Guangyi's complexion was gloomy, and the sense of guilt reached its peak at this moment.Why did he let her in?Why didn't he drive her away immediately?Why did he have to sympathize with her and caused so many troubles in the family?
It's just that at this time, it's too late to say anything.

Seeing Lu Guangyi's dejected face, Pei Erzhu was even more proud, "If you don't explain to our family, I will take you to the official and let you go to the prison to eat!"

At this time, a voice came from the crowd.

"Who wants to meet the official?" The voice was lazy, and he yawned a long time after speaking, as if he was still awake.

I saw two people walking in from the courtyard door, one was wearing a blue cotton robe, with a long and strong body, the other was wearing a gray robe inside, and a fur jacket on the outside. The appearance of being afraid of the cold.
