farmer's little girl

Chapter 69
For a moment, the whole scene was in chaos.

Seeing this scene, the gentleman standing on the side shook his head repeatedly and sighed that it was insulting.Some students watched it with great interest. Life in the academy has always been boring, and they have never seen such a scene.

At this time, a few gentlemen from the academy came hurriedly, and the leader of them was Hao Changshun, the dean of Baihe Academy.

Someone came forward to persuade Zhurou Li's family, saying that Du Lian must give them an explanation, and these few people calmed down.

At this time, Du Lian described it as extremely messy, as if he just crawled out of a pile of beggars.Not only was his clothes rotten, but his bundled hair was also torn apart. What made him even more ashamed was that the eyes of the people on the side looked at him, as if they saw some filth.

Du Lian's embarrassment, grievance, shame and anger, all kinds of emotions turned into a cry: "Dean, I really don't know this group of people!"

Dean Hao himself is also a man of fame.He shook his head, gave Du Lian a disgusted look, frowned and said, "What you should be thinking about now is how to explain to others. Besides, our academy has always paid attention to the character of students. We don't have people like you in our academy." Dare to ask for it."

After finishing speaking, he walked away, and the other gentlemen shook their heads and left after seeing him.

Du Lian was struck by lightning.

Du Lian was kicked out of Baihe Academy without giving him any chance to defend himself.

Together with his school bag, including this month's Shuxiu silver, he was returned to him, which is enough to show how much the people in the academy hate him.

Du Lian stood in front of the academy for a while, unable to react.

Baihe Academy is the best academy in Yuntian Town. If Baihe Academy doesn't want him, almost no other nearby academy will accept him.And after this experience, he has become well-known among this group of classmates. Scholars all have circles, and I am afraid that no one will dare to be with him in the future.

Du Lian couldn't imagine the future!

He turned his head and stared at the group of people with tearful eyes.

He was very sure that he didn't know these people, and he didn't ruin anyone's daughter. Who was hurting him? !

"Who are you?"

Pork Li stared fiercely: "Who do you think we are?"

The woman behind him grabbed him and signaled him not to act out.

At this time, I saw the old woman winking at her old man, "Old man, the weather is going to change, go home and collect your clothes!"

The old man let out a hey, and ran away with an agility that didn't match his appearance.

The old woman followed.

Immediately afterwards, the Pork and Li couple also ran away quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the four of them disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Du Lian couldn't do anything other than be dumbfounded.

At this time, if he didn't know that he was being tricked, it would be useless to blind him to live for so many years.

Combined with the fact that he was beaten for no reason last year, causing his hand to be broken, Du Lian screamed in his heart: Who the hell is killing him!

He naturally wanted to go back to the academy to explain, but it was a pity that the gatekeeper of the academy didn't even let him in, apparently someone inside had explained it.

Helpless, he could only go home dejected.

After returning home, Widow Du knew about this and was also in shock.Because he couldn't figure out who he offended, Du Lian naturally blamed Widow Du for this matter.I really can't blame him for thinking this way, but he didn't offend anyone, let alone the younger sister, naturally there is only Widow Du who is always restless.

Widow Du felt very wronged. She hadn't done anything bad during this period, except for going to Lu's family and asking Lu's family to help her with spring plowing.

Recalling the delicate moment when her son broke his hand last time, Widow Du suddenly felt that she had found the culprit.Last year, she went to the Lu family to steal grain from the five acres of land, and her son was beaten in no time. This time, she just went to the Lu family to ask them to help her family with spring plowing, and her son was splashed with such a large basin of sewage. He was so tired that he was not even allowed to go to the academy.

Is it not the Lu family or who?

Lu Guili was the first to bear the brunt.

This was the first time Widow Du hit her after Lu Guili entered the door. She didn't listen to her explanation at all, and the feather duster slapped her body.Du Lian stood aside, thinking about this, so he didn't stop him at all.It was Du Juan'er who murmured in a low voice, don't beat her up, and we will have to pay her for a doctor when the time comes.

Only then did Widow Du realize that Lu Guili is a sick child, and that Lu Guili still has a lot of things that can be used. She doesn't want this daughter-in-law to die.She threw the feather duster on the kang, and said to Lu Guili angrily: "It's your man who hurts you. If you are still the daughter-in-law of our Du family, you can go to your mother's house with me to reason."

Lu Guili hurriedly stopped her tears, and said yes timidly.

Widow Du took Lu Guili to Daxi Village, and started cursing as soon as she entered the gate of Lu's house.

Scolding Lu's family for being devoid of conscience, scolding them for harming my son-in-law, in short, scolding whatever they catch.

The Lu family was very tired during this period, and seeing that the culprit was not only not grateful, but also framed people with red lips and white teeth, they were immediately annoyed.

But there was Lu Guili caught in the middle, who couldn't be scolded or beaten, so she could only bear it.

Lu Guili was also crying, crying how pitiful her husband was, and how cruel her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law were, which made the old man cry so angry that she couldn't help but shouted: "Dear family, what are you talking about? What are we talking about?" Someone beat Du Lian, and someone poured dirty water on him."

Widow Du said the matter very quickly.

Old man Lu smiled wryly after hearing this: "In-laws, whether you want to believe it or not, we really didn't do this. We don't have the ability to ask someone to beat and frame Du Lian. Besides, Du Lian is my son-in-law, a man from Guili. , can I find someone to slander him for ruining a good woman?"

"That's not you, who else could it be?"

In fact, at this moment, Widow Du also realized that the Lu family was indeed not that capable, but they scolded and scolded, anyway, she would not admit her fault.

"It's really not us!"

On the other hand, Mrs. Hu, who was standing beside her, had twinkling eyes.

Maybe Old Man Lu and the others don't know what's going on inside, but Hu's is different. Looking at everything together, she almost knows who did it without guessing.

It's a second-bedroom person.

But how could they have so much energy?

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Hu thought of Mrs. Mei's younger brother, Mei Zhuangyi, and that local ruffian named Han Jin.But it was impossible for her to tell Widow Du about this, because once she did, it would be self-reporting.

Because of this matter, Hu was very afraid of the Erfang family, and after seeing them, he detoured. Of course, this is another story.

After Widow Du went back, she told her son about it, and the matter fell into a cloud of fog again.

If it's not the Lu family, then who is it?

But no matter what, life still has to go on, there is no academy willing to accept Du Lian, and he has no face to go out to meet people, so he can only study hard at home behind closed doors, in order to strive for excellence and rise to the top.Naturally, some people in the village wondered why Du Lian didn't go to the academy. The Du family's explanation to the outside was that Du Lian had almost learned enough, and the rest should be self-study at home, after all, the family is not rich.

The villagers didn't know what was inside, so they didn't say anything.

The private school where Lu Guangzhi and Wulang belonged is located in Niujiao Village.

The gentleman who opened this private school is himself a famous scholar. Because the imperial examination was not going well, he let go of his ambition to run this private school to support his family.Although he can't be said to be knowledgeable, it is enough to teach some children who are just beginning.

Lu Guangzhi can be regarded as an outstanding existence in this private school. Most of the children in this private school are around ten years old. Lu Guangzhi who has come to study at fourteen is indeed more eye-catching.

However, he is hardworking and eager to learn, and he can understand everything at one point. Qin Xiucai also treats him quite differently.At that time, he still remembered this child who always herded cattle outside the private school. Later, Qin Xiucai sighed in his heart when this child never came again.At this time, seeing that he still has no plans to give up studying after all these years, I admire him very much in my heart, and I am very attentive to Lu Guangzhi on weekdays.

Moreover, Lu Guangzhi himself has some foundation (learned by stealing back then), and he can learn everything very quickly, so after only coming to the private school for more than a month, he can already catch up with those students who have studied in the private school for a year or two.

After school ended that day, Lu Guangzhi led Wulang and Liulang to Daxi Village.

Liu Lang was still sent to study by Mr. Qiao, and he was in the same private school as Brother Lu Guangzhi.Because he was young and immature, usually Mrs. Qiao would pick him up, or he would be with Lu Guangzhi and his brothers. With Lu Guangzhi watching, Mrs. Qiao was not afraid that he would lose him.

Liu Lang was beaten by his husband today, and he was still sobbing on the way home.In his mind, he couldn't understand that he just ran out to play for a while, and when he came back, his face changed drastically, and he took a ruler and beat him severely.

"I don't want to go to school anymore!" Liu Lang shouted, scratching his neck.

The two brothers Lu Guangzhi turned their heads and looked at him. The one big and one small had the same look on their faces, that is, helpless and powerless.

No matter how unwilling they are, they are cousins ​​after all, so every time Qiao asked his son to go to school with the two children of the second sister-in-law's family, the second room and the whole family would not be able to refuse.In fact, after a period of contact, Goro no longer hates Liulang. Liulang's nature is not bad, but he has been spoiled.

He has no self-control and can do whatever he wants, which is why Qin Xiucai beat him today, but unfortunately, with Liulang's current thinking, he probably doesn't understand.

"Xiao Liu, hurry up, it's late, and it's time for Third Aunt to come and see you." After a pause, Mr. Goro looked at him and sighed, and said, "And you said you can't go to school." , I'm afraid it won't work, Third Aunt won't agree."

"Anyway, I just don't want to go. It's not fun at all. Why don't I catch crickets with my friends at home." Liu Lang was very wronged.

"Third Aunt spent so much money to send you to study, but it's not for you to play. Don't let Third Aunt know what you said, be careful that you will be beaten again!" Goro threatened.

After being instructed by Mrs. Mei, although Mrs. Qiao didn't want to admit it, she still had to admit the fact that her son was spoiled by her.A few days ago, Liu Lang repeatedly caused troubles in the private school, and Qin Xiucai sued him in front of Qiao, and Qiao finally got the heart out and dealt with him well.

This was the first time Liu Lang had been beaten at such a young age, but he was quite frightened. Hearing what Little Fifth Brother said, he couldn't help shrinking his neck and stopped shouting.

Lu Guangzhi looked back at the two little ones, and said, "Let's go quickly, if you delay, it will be dark later."

Not much to say, all the way back to Daxi Village.

Mrs. Qiao has been anxious for a long time, waiting at the entrance of the village.

"Why is it so late, did you get into trouble again and have your husband stay in jail?" She stared at Liu Lang and said.

Lu Guangzhi briefly explained the matter, and after Qiao thanked him and said goodbye, he pulled his son over and taught him a lesson as he walked back.

This scene has almost become a scene in the village these days. Seeing this scene, many villagers smiled knowingly.

The two brothers Lu Guangzhi walked towards home, and when they were almost in front of the door, Lu Guangzhi's little playmate Er Gouzi suddenly jumped out from the side of the road.He winked at Lu Guangzhi, and Lu Guangzhi came to his senses and asked Wulang to go home first.

"What? Did something happen?" Lu Guangzhi asked.

Er Gouzi didn't have time to say anything, so he dragged him to the end of the village, and whispered, "Today I managed to catch him having a tryst with the little widow from the Qian family in the haystack at the end of the village, let's hurry up. Maybe we can catch up."

Speaking of this matter, it is a bit far-fetched.

Lu Guangzhi wanted to take revenge on Mrs. Hu, so he asked his friends who had a good time with him to help keep an eye on what happened to Dafang.Not to mention, if they really asked them to find out something, it has nothing to do with the Hu family, but has something to do with the Hu family's eldest son, Lu Guangren.

Lu Guangren is not bad in appearance, and he is also a good-looking talent, but he is already dissatisfied with marrying someone like Xiao Hu.When they first got married, they were still a little scrupulous, but after Xiao Niuniu was born, Xiao Hu's figure gradually developed horizontally, and he gradually became more presumptuous.

Earlier in the village, there were rumors that he liked to talk to older girls and younger wives, because they were all from the same village, and they didn't do anything after all, so no one took it seriously, but I don't know when Lu Guangren and Qian The little widow at home hooked up.

The little widow of the Qian family had a hard life, she was widowed at a young age, and logically speaking she had no children, so as long as her natal family was strong, it would not be difficult for her to remarry when she returned home.It's a pity that the Qian family has always been unreasonable, and this little widow's natal family didn't value her daughter, so she was left to be a widow in the Qian family.

The Qian family had separated long ago. If it weren't for the fact that there was no man around her to ask her about her health and keep a few acres of land, this little widow could live a very comfortable life, but the key point was that she didn't have a man.

Inevitably, there are the village sluts wandering in front of the little widow's door, but the little widow's uncles are not easy to mess with, and they haven't caused any scandal. Who would have thought that Lu Guangren would hook up with the little widow at some point? up.

Because the little widow's house was next to several uncles' houses, the two always met at the end of the village where the haystacks were placed.He was seen by Er Gouzi last time, but it was a pity that Lu Guangzhi was in a private school and didn't catch up.

The open space at the end of the village where the haystacks are placed is usually not visited by anyone, but some families who have too many wheat straws and sorghum stalks to put them in will pile up the temporarily unused ones here.The haystacks are in the shape of a hill as a whole, covered with a thatch roof to prevent moisture, because this thing is not rare in the countryside, so it has not been stolen, and there are more than a dozen stacks scattered across the open space.

Er Gouzi dragged Lu Guangzhi to the south corner of the open space, made a silent gesture, and pointed for him to look.

After careful observation, there was indeed a haystack moving, and some discordant sounds could be heard from it from time to time.

"Still tossing." Er Gouzi smiled while covering his mouth.

"What are you going to do? Or let's call the Qian family to arrest the traitor?" He asked again.

Lu Guangzhi shook his head, took out a fire bag from his arms, and gave Er Gouzi a smirk.

Er Gouzi nodded repeatedly and gave him a thumbs up.

Lu Guangzhi quietly approached.

Afterwards, Er Gouzi and Er Gouzi went to watch and saw that black smoke was rising from the haystacks, but there was still no sign of silence inside. The two looked at each other and ran to the village.

Lu Guangzhi turned to go home, while Er Gouzi ran towards the village, shouting loudly: "It's on fire, it's on fire, the end of the village is on fire."

When it was said that there was a fire at the end of the village, everyone didn't need to guess that it was the haystack that caught fire.

Whenever the sky is dry and things are dry, will there be a fire there, but what is surprising is that it is not yet when the sky is dry and things are dry, but there is also a fire.

Not allowing everyone to think too much, many villagers rushed there with their buckets in their hands.

After passing by, I saw thick smoke from a distance.

When everyone rushed closer, before they had time to do anything, the haystack at the place where the smoke was coming out suddenly exploded like a frying pan, and two disheveled people jumped out of it, a man and a woman.

The two coughed hard.

I really couldn't hold back inside. These haystacks have been exposed to wind and rain for a winter, and the outer layer is not dry, so it is not an open flame that ignites.Even if you let it continue to burn, it won't kill people for a while, but the key is that it won't kill people, it chokes people.

Everyone was stunned.

In this situation, what else do you not know?

The big furniture shook their heads one after another, and some stepped forward to tease: "It's all playing out."

When someone in the crowd saw the appearance of the two of them clearly, someone suddenly said in surprise: "Isn't this the little widow of the Qian family?"

"This man is the Ren kid from the big house of the Lu family!"

This is really a frying pan.

Who doesn't know that the Qian family is notoriously hard to mess with, that family is domineering and shameless, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do the thing of not allowing their young daughter-in-law to remarry.

There was a lot of discussion for a while, and there were also members of the Qian family in the crowd. Seeing that it was the widow of Qian, they were in a panic, rushed up and cursed: "You shameless little girl, how dare you steal!"

Not long after, the entire Qian family rushed over.

It is a big family of old and young, and the Qian family is also a family with many members. Although the family has been separated, there are dozens of people in several rooms in the family.

"This is shameless!"

"I just said that this little girl is unruly, and I can't guard against it day and night!"

"Boy of the Lu family, you dare to steal my brother's wife!"

Several uncles of the little widow of the Qian family rushed up and wanted to beat Lu Guangren.

Although Lu Guangren was tall, he was no match against several people.Especially when he was exposed to guilt, he naturally had no choice but to let others beat him.No villagers came out to dissuade them. In a place like the countryside, it is not uncommon to steal a woman's wife, but stealing a widow is a bit too much. After all, it is a widow, and it is disrespectful to the dead.

On the contrary, the little widow of the Qian family felt sorry for her adulterer, so she rushed over and threw herself on Lu Guangren. If you want to beat me one at a time, forget about killing me too. Let me live by the dead, you are not guilty of conscience.

Hearing this, some kind-hearted villagers stood up.

"Okay, the thing has already happened. Even if you beat the two of them to death, it will be useless. If you kill someone by then, you will go to jail instead."

"That's right."

Although the Qian family was still aggressive, they were not as ruthless as before.

At this time, Dafang also heard the news and ran over, along with old man Lu and Mrs. Cui.

Two families, three families and two families also came, but they did not step forward, but stood aside and watched.

"Ren'er!"

As soon as Hu saw his son being beaten badly, he rushed over to him.

"Who hit you? Who hit you? Is there any law to beat people like this in broad daylight? You are Huang Batian alive, so domineering and vicious, do you have any conscience!"

The women of the Qian family were delighted, and it was reasonable to steal people, so they went up to them and started to run on each other.

"Permit your son to steal other people's daughter-in-law, so you are not allowed to beat others?"

"That's right, beating you is light. If you were in another village, it wouldn't hurt to soak your pig cages."

Daxi Village is a village with mixed surnames. There is no ancestral hall and no patriarch. Naturally, there is no such thing as lynching.But if it is a place where the whole village has the same surname, the patriarch has great authority, there are women in the clan who do not obey women's ways, and there are not a few women who are soaked in pig cages.

The Hu family can say that she is a reasonable person even if she is unreasonable. Naturally, she is not to be outdone. In her mouth, Lu Guangren has become a hot-blooded young man, and the little widow of the Qian family has become a vixen who deliberately seduces her son. , His son was right, it was all the fault of the little widow of the Qian family.

The little widow of the Qian family also knew that if she really had to shoulder this matter alone, the Qian family would never let her go, and she would only end up in death, so she cried hoarsely: "No, no, I didn't seduce him, We are in love with each other! Brother Ren, Brother Ren, tell them, we are in love with each other!"

"I'll fuck your mother's love, and you two love each other, what should I do?"

Following the sound, Mrs. Hu rushed over like a cannonball, and threw herself on the little widow of the Qian family, hitting her head and face.Relying on her large size, she not only hit the little widow, but also took time to pinch Lu Guangren.

"Lu Guangren, you have no conscience. I'll take care of your mother and father at home, and do housework to take care of your noble daughter. You're lying outside and stealing the little widow."

For a time, the chaos was extreme.

Compared with the ugly, fierce and unreasonable little Hu family, the widow of the Qian family's frail and squeaky attitude naturally had the upper hand.Lu Guangren didn't intend to stand out, so he was a little annoyed at this time.

"Go away, you don't want to be with me, go back to your Hu's house!" He not only said, but also pulled up Xiao Hu and threw him out.Xiao Hu was stunned by the fall, and began to cry at the top of his voice.

Although it can be understood that Lu Guangren was a little annoyed by the little Hu family, after all, his behavior still made all the elders in the village shake their heads and sigh.Don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face, and always help him have children and serve the original wife of the whole family, how can he treat him like this.

The Qian family laughed.

"Has your Lu family had enough trouble? What are you going to do about this matter today? If you don't give us an explanation, we will kill this adulterer today! I don't believe that when the trouble comes to the county government, the magistrate will take us How about it! Don’t forget, according to the laws of our Dagan country, the adulterer is caught on the spot, and the adulterer will be beaten to death!”

The person who spoke was the elder brother-in-law of the little widow of the Qian family, Boss Qian.Boss Qian had also studied for two years back then, so he naturally knew more than others, so the sentence that he would be imprisoned really didn't scare him.

Hearing this, everyone in the Lu family froze.

Mrs. Hu stopped talking back, and Mrs. Hu stopped beating others. As for Lu Guangren, his legs gave way and he collapsed on the ground on the spot.

"What do you want?" Lu Mingchuan asked.

"What do we think, should we ask you what the Lu family thinks? Your son stole my brother's wife, and now you are asking us what we want?"

Lu Mingchuan's face was as black as ink.

He thinks that he is upright when he speaks, and he never asks people to criticize him. This is the first time in his life that he has been forced to do so with words.It can be said that Lu Guangren did something wrong. He couldn't beat his son to death on the spot. After all, this is his seed.Even if he beat his son to death today, with the nature of the Qian family, he probably wouldn't let it go.
