Chapter 70
Lu Mingchuan couldn't help but glanced at Old Man Lu, then at Lu Minghai and Lu Mingshan in the crowd.

Mei Shi and Qiao Shi naturally saw this look, and subconsciously grabbed their man.

Lu Minghai knew that according to his personal grievances, he shouldn't take care of Hu's son, but there was also his elder brother in the middle, and the behavior of the country people was what happened, and the whole family went to bed together.The whole family is in a group, and in a place like the countryside where it is often unreasonable, they will not be bullied.At this time, if he didn't show up, he might be criticized after the incident.

Lu Mingshan probably also thought of this point, and looked at Lu Minghai, and the two walked forward.

Seeing that the second child came to help his family regardless of past suspicions, a flash of guilt flashed in Lu Mingchuan's eyes.

A few men from Lu's family went to the side to make up their minds.

Just now, after listening to Boss Qian's words, I'm afraid he doesn't want to make this matter a big deal.After all, as others said just now, things have already happened, and people cannot be beaten to death.Even if the adulterer is raped and beaten to death, he still has to be interrogated in court if he dies. Few of the country people are willing to go to the county government office.

Then there was only one way to appease the Qian family with money. The Qian family had always been greedy for money, so this method should work.As for Lu Guangren's reputation, now that it has reached this level, it is a bit pretentious to talk about reputation.

If the entire Lu family had a good reputation, it still belonged to Lu Minghai.This kind of reputation does not refer to anything else, but because he is honest and honest, and there are many people in the village who are willing to deal with him.

Of course, Lu Mingchuan was also like this before, but the Hu family caused several scandals in a row, and he was implicated by his own mother-in-law, so he is no longer as good as before.Although those things were done by the Hu family and have nothing to do with Lu Mingchuan, but people subconsciously think that the two of them slept under the same bed, how could they be men without knowing it.And even if he really didn't know, he must have neglected to observe, or his ears were too soft, and he was manipulated by the woman and deceived by her.

So when it comes to country people, don't look at them who don't know a single character, but when it comes to knowing people, they are not weaker than some scholars.

After some discussion, Lu Minghai walked in front of the Qian family.

"It's true that my nephew did something wrong, but to put it bluntly, it can't be slapped. It's true that my Lu family didn't teach their children well, but your Qian family didn't take good care of your own family either..."

As soon as these words came out, they were accused by the Qian family.

"Is it our fault that your nephew stole my daughter-in-law?"

"According to what you said, our Qian family should consider themselves unlucky?"

A villager who had a good relationship with Lu Minghai stepped forward and said, "Boss Qian, don't say that, the second brother Lu is right, this is something that can't be slapped, if your little widow doesn't If you are willing, can Lu Guangren still press her hard?"

"That's right, we've heard more than once that she flirts with young men in the village. In just one village, no one knows who's such a mess. If she's okay, how can your family see her so badly?" tight?"

This is true, although the young widow of the Qian family can only be considered handsome in appearance, she can't help but know how to dress up.Earlier, when Qian Laowu was still alive, she was dressed in red and green all day long, and she was dressed up beautifully.Obviously the face is just like that, but when you look down, you can see the pair of bulging breasts, and you can see people with a smile on their faces. The elder brother grows taller and the younger brother is short. Many villagers discuss in private whether this little daughter-in-law is a honest.

After Qian Laowu died, she did not change the past.During the period, there were several incidents where she made fun of the men in the village, and since then the Qian family has taken her seriously.

Now it was the Qian family's turn to turn black.

Although the words of these villagers are a bit harsh, the truth is indeed the same.Moreover, the Qian family has never been welcomed by others in the village. On the contrary, there are naturally many people who speak for Lu Minghai.This has nothing to do with right or wrong, but with sophistication. After all, people are subconsciously willing to help those who have a good impression of them.If it's disgusting, I'm afraid it's good not to add insult to injury.

This is also the reason why the Lu family asked Lu Minghai to come forward. Lu Minghai has a lot of people in the village, and everyone is willing to give him face.

Lu Minghai continued: "It's true that my nephew was wrong, and we admitted it. The reason why we say that a slap can't be slapped is everyone's responsibility. It's just a statement of the facts. Since your family wants an explanation, we have to give it to you." This theory can only be clearly understood once the theory is discussed. Now that things are here, everyone knows the truth, and your family will tell you the truth, and see how you are willing to expose this matter. After all, everyone is from the same village, look up I don’t want to bow my head to see each other, and I don’t want to tear each other’s faces.”

Among the sons of the Qian family, there was a grumpy son who jumped out immediately: "It's your Lu family's fault, but your tone is quite firm..."

He had only spoken halfway before he was dragged away by Boss Qian.

Boss Qian smiled at Lu Minghai, "Minghai's words are quite reasonable. Let's do it, my brother is gone after all, and I can't be my sibling's home. I will discuss it with other brothers."

After finishing speaking, he called several men in the family to the side to discuss.

Lu Minghai's eyes flashed, and Old Man Lu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Qian family is willing to let go, it means that this matter can be discussed.

Just like what Lu Minghai said, everyone is from the same village, and no one wants to tear their face apart.Especially unlike Lu Minghai, the Qian family's reputation in the village is not good, and Boss Qian knows it very well, which is why he dragged his grumpy nephew.

According to Boss Qian's idea, just ask the Lu family for some money. Obviously, some people have different opinions.

"I don't have any objection to asking for money, but that woman has to deal with it. It's always like this. Whoever has the spare time always goes to watch her, and if something happens again, our family will lose face. How about taking this opportunity..." The second child of the Qian family made a gesture.

"What do you mean?" They are all brothers, so they naturally understand each other's meaning.

The second child of the Qian family nodded, "In this way, our family's reputation of being domineering and not allowing her to remarry can also be cleared."

Boss Qian fell silent.

After a while, he nodded solemnly, "That's it."

Several people discussed a few more words before walking over there.

Apparently, Boss Qian's attitude has undergone a 180-degree change. Not only him, but the rest of the Qian family's expressions have also improved a lot. At least no one is glaring at the Lu family angrily.

Boss Qian smiled affectionately at Lu Minghai, and said, "Minghai, this is you today. If it were someone else, I would never let it go. After all, this will damage the face of my Qian family."

Since the other party handed over the ladder, Lu Minghai didn't mind saying a few nice words: "Hey, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, but it has already happened, what we should do is to find a way to solve it, not make trouble You can't leave it alone. Fortunately, your family is sensible, otherwise this matter..."

The two exchanged a few words back and forth, and then dragged them aside to talk, as if the sword-drawing just now had never happened.

When the villagers saw this scene, they naturally knew that there would be no trouble.

Of course there are a lot of people who want to watch the fun, but honest people still account for the majority, and last year they only ate a pig-killing meal at Ming Hai's house, and ate a whole pig, so it's not good to lose face at the moment.

As a result, irrelevant people left one after another.

The villagers didn't know how the matter was resolved afterwards, but then there was news that the little widow of the Qian family was going to marry into the big house of the Lu family as a flat wife.

Country people don't talk about taking concubines, but there are those who marry ordinary wives, but it's all because the original spouse can't bear children, or suffers from a serious disease, and the in-law's family is kind and unwilling to divorce their wives, and they marry another wife for their son. The wife is back.However, this kind of thing has never happened in Daxi Village. I just heard that there are such families in other villages.

Of course, this kind of situation certainly does not exist in the Lu family's eldest family, but with the previous incident, it is not difficult for everyone to understand.It seems that the Lu and Qian families have reached a consensus and intend to work together to cover up the matter.At the very least, the nature of this matter changed from an adulterer's sex to a love affair between a man and a woman. The Qian family couldn't bear the fact that their daughter-in-law was widowed at such a young age, so they married her to the Lu family as their own daughter.

But in the end the truth of the matter, in fact, everyone knows.However, everyone has done this, and if they don't want to offend the two families, they generally won't take the initiative to expose it without knowing it.

Of course, the truth of the matter is not only that, this result was obtained by the Qian family's hard pressure, just to obey the Lu family and extort some money.

You must know that they knew the truth and asked the Lu family for money, and if they said it, it became the Qian family extorting money from their widowed sister-in-law.And marrying the little widow into the Lu family, and then asking the Lu family for money, became the dowry gift from the Lu family.

The Lu family naturally understands this truth, but they can only grit their teeth and suffer this dumb loss.

All in all, this result is a good result for both families.

It's just not good news for one person.

That person is Xiao Hu.

This inexplicable addition of a flat wife in the family was a man who stole it from the widow, how could she swallow this bad breath.

Xiao Hu's family has certainly made trouble, but it's useless to make trouble in Lu's house. The whole family ganged up to suppress her, and she couldn't make any trouble at all.She also went back to her natal family, but her natal family didn't want her to reconcile, so they still tried to persuade her to make peace, and the brothers in the family were all married, so there was no place for her to stay, so she could only return to Lu's house.

Little Hu's heart is full of anger, there is no way to say it.

In order to vent the resentment in her heart, after she returned to Lu's house, she made troubles at home every day, making the big house of Lu's house very noisy.Lu Guangren also beat him, but it was useless. If it was too much, Mrs. Hu stepped forward to stop him.After all, the daughter-in-law is her own niece, and it is her own fault, and the Gehu family will come forward in a few days.One must know that the reason why the Hu family didn't make trouble with the Lu family was because of looking at her face.

In fact, Mrs. Hu was quite upset. The Qian family suddenly asked for 20 taels of silver, and directly emptied the entire Dafang family.And she had to refuse to give, the end of not giving is that her son was beaten to death as an adulterer.

She could only grit her teeth and suffer from this dumb loss.

Erfang's family witnessed the whole incident.

Regarding the situation where things have developed to the present, they can only say that this is fate.

Lu Jiaoyue was subtle, she had already learned from Lu Guangzhi that he did this.

The Hu family lost face, and Dafang's money was emptied. This kind of revenge is already the ultimate for the two of them.After all, their father and uncle are brothers, everyone's surname is Lu, and the trouble is so ugly that no one can escape.

Of course, this matter must not be told to Lu Minghai.

Lu Minghai has been running around for this matter for the past few days, and he was exhausted physically and mentally when he finally got it done. He only said that he would not care about such things in the future.

The reason why he said this was because he was disgusted in his heart. Regardless of Lu Minghai's appearance, he was still disgusted because of the Hu family.Secondly, when the Qian family asked for silver, Hu's handing out the money was not convenient, and he always acted like Lu Minghai intentionally caused the big house to give out more silver.If Lu Mingchuan hadn't gotten angry and slapped her in front of people, Lu Minghai would have turned his head and left on the spot.The third reason is that the Qian family wanted to marry the little widow into the Lu family. In fact, Lu Minghai did not agree with this matter, but his father and his elder brother and sister-in-law both agreed. Naturally, he couldn't say anything, but he felt a little uncomfortable .

Press the button and don't mention it. After the matter is finalized, it's time for the little widow of the Qian family to enter the door.

Because of the discussion between the Lu Qian family and her family, she naturally couldn't enter the house in a sneaky way, and had to serve wine in the village.To save face for each other is one of them, and it also means to silence the mouths of the villagers.

After all, eating people's mouths is soft, and after eating the food of the Luqian family, they will be more or less restrained when talking about the rights and wrongs of the two families in the future.

That day, the Lu family and the Qian family each placed wine at home and invited the entire village to dinner.

After a meal, no villagers mentioned the matter of catching rape.

Little Hu naturally gritted her teeth with hatred, one must know that when she married Lu Guangren, she had never been so beautiful.Naturally, she couldn't understand the meaning of the Lu family's actions. Maybe she knew it in her heart, but she was just dazzled by jealousy.

And Lu Guangren, a blessing in disguise, became a groom again.

Although everyone is an "old acquaintance" with each other, the key point is that it has a different meaning. After the wedding party has dispersed, Lu Guangren is striding forward to the bridal chamber with a blushing face.

Let me tell you here that after the separation of the family, Lu Guili got married again, and the place on Dafang's side has been a lot more plentiful, but Dafang's family has always lived in the East Wing.This time Lu Minghai married a daughter-in-law again, the east room must not be enough, the couple simply moved to the east room of the upper room, the west room was given to Lu Guangli, and the east room was reserved for Lu Guangren's family.

There are three rooms, and the middle one is empty. Mrs. Hu lives in the east room with her daughter Xiaoniuniu. The little widow of the Qian family, oh, she is not called the little widow of the Qian family anymore.Qiu Cuihe lives in the west room.

At this time, Lu Guangren, who had drunk some wine, stood in front of the east chamber, feeling quite like he had become an emperor.The two daughters-in-law didn't even dare to think about it before.

It is also a blessing in disguise.

Lu Guangren went to the west room, took off the hijab, and was about to rest with his arms around Qiu Cuihe, when he heard his daughter's cry from the east room.

Qiu Cuihe leaned in his arms, and cast a coquettish look at him: "Aren't you going to take a look?"

"Ignore her! This woman just likes to make trouble!"

When the dry wood met the raging fire, the two immediately rolled to one place.Just as he was tossing vigorously, suddenly the door was knocked open from the outside.Little Hu rushed in, dragged Qiu Cuihe's hair down the kang without saying a word.

"You shameless bitch, my mother can't stop you from coming in, but I'm an old man and you are a young man, it's doomed from the moment I enter the door. If you want a bridal chamber, see if my mother doesn't tear your bitch face!"

Qiu Cuihe struggled non-stop, Lu Guangren was in the midst of having a good time, so he was interrupted like this, and he was also angry.He had always disliked Mrs. Hu, but now seeing his sweetheart being beaten, he naturally wanted to help his daughter-in-law, so he and Qiu Cuihe went to beat Mrs. Hu together.

Mrs. Hu is not a vegetarian either. Seeing that she couldn't beat him, she sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

"The Lu family, devoid of conscience, has a black heart, liver and lungs, and bullies my orphans, widows, and poor people. These two shameless people teamed up to beat me alone...My little girl, mother will hang you in my arms... ..."

Against the cry of Xiao Niu Niu in that room, it really is extremely miserable.

On the other side of the room, old man Lu was so angry that he repeatedly slapped the kang, and Cui sighed.The two daughters-in-law were fighting, and Lu Mingchuan, the father-in-law, was naturally not able to come forward, so the Hu family was sent over.

"Nao Nao Nao, what on earth do you want? If you don't want to let it go, get the hell out!" Mrs. Hu glared at the three of them viciously, as if she wanted to swallow them up.

Her face was haggard, and her head and heart were covered with white hair.During this period of time, for the sake of the eldest son, she was scolded by the man for not being able to teach her son well even though she spent money and efforts, not to mention the gossip outside and the eyes watching jokes, and the Hu family also had to pour her face to appease him. .

The three of them fell silent immediately, and stopped making noise.

But it is conceivable that the future will be very good.

Unlike the big room, the second room is living a very comfortable life now.

After spring plowing, there is not much work in the fields.Because the Mei family's business is getting better and better, Lu Minghai and Lu Guangyi discussed it. Lu Guangyi will carry the burden every day to sell tofu, while Lu Minghai will stay at home to take care of the crops in the field, and go to the county to help May helps.

And Lu Jiaoyue is in charge of some trivial housework at home.

Because the soy milk at the stall sold very well, naturally someone also asked about the tofu from Lu's family. The couple in the second room moved their minds and brought some tofu to sell every day when they went out of the stall.

Erfangjia's tofu is the same as soy milk, without the beany smell, and the tofu without the beany smell is tender and smooth, very delicious.Gradually, more people know about it, and dozens of catties of tofu can be sold every day at the stall.It can almost catch up with the quantity that Lu Minghai used to carry around to sell tofu every day.

All this can't help but make the Erfang family overjoyed.

Now that he has money in hand, he doesn't panic anymore, and Mrs. Mei doesn't want to stay in the county every day as much as in the past.Occasionally, I will let a man or son help me for a day, and I will stay at home and do housework with my daughter.

There is hope in life, and there are more and more laughter in the yard of the second room's house. Naturally, it is not like the big house where there are always dark clouds and turmoil, and big dramas are staged every day.

Just at this time, the business of Guiya mother and daughter was discovered.

In fact, it is also conceivable. Yuntian Town is not far from the village. People from the village go to the town to buy things from time to time. They are destined to be found out. The difference is only sooner or later.

For a time, there was an uproar in the village.

I don't know what the person who found out that Guiya's family was doing business saw what, in short, everyone in the village now said that Guiya's family has made a fortune, and the business is doing well.

Some were happy for the mother and daughter, and naturally some were jealous.This is mostly the case in rural areas, probably because every family is not rich. If one day hears that a family has made a fortune, there will naturally be discussions behind the scenes.The unintentional person just listens to a story, but it will be different if it falls into the ears of the caring person.

Among them is Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen has been scratching her heart and lungs for the past two days. She really wants to rush into the house of Gui Ya and see how much money they have made.But Lizheng's warning before was not a joke, so she naturally didn't dare to go too far.

Unable to think about anything else, she made up her mind on Chen Tiegen.

Now Chen Tiegen is living a very good life. Although the widow is not good-looking, she is a virtuous and hardworking person, no worse than Gui Yaniang back then.Especially the son brought by the widow, who always had a long father and a short father, but Chen Tiegen was so happy that he wished this was his own son.

Of course, he did not give up his plan to give birth to his own son, but he is not young anymore, and the widow is a few years older than him, and it is still unknown whether he can still give birth, but there is hope for life after all.

All of a sudden, Chen Tiegen couldn't help hesitating when his old lady asked him to find Gui and his wife.

If you say guilt, there must have been some at the beginning, but after all, Chen Tiegen has been filial to Mrs. Chen all his life, and he has no plans to change it in the future.In addition, Mrs. Chen said in his ear every day that Miss Gui was destined to be childless, and those girls took the place of his descendants, so she gradually felt no guilt.

After all, he still has two consciences, before his mother kicked the mother and daughter out of the house without even giving them thick clothes.Relying on a little from the east family in the village and a little from the west family, people gradually live their lives.At this moment, my mother suddenly asked him to win over Gui Ya's mother and daughter so that they could get the money from them, Chen Tiegen couldn't accept it for a while.

But it's useless if you can't accept it. After living for decades, Chen Tiegen has never been tough in front of Mrs. Chen.

And the widow also helped blow the pillow wind, saying that she might have one someday, the life at home is difficult, the second room and the family are overbearing, the mother-in-law has always been against the second room, and there is very little left for them.Now that she has a chance to get money, she doesn't care about Chen Tiegen going to have an old relationship with Gui Yaniang, as long as she can find a way to make money, she will be fine if she has money to raise her son in the future.

The widow is much more far-sighted than Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen only wants to get other people's money, and the widow even wants to get other people's money-making methods.

The son is the curse on Chen Tiegen's head, no one else needs to read it, he thinks about it day and night.Hearing what the widow said, he couldn't help but feel happy, and asked, "Do you think you have it?"

The widow showed a shy smile: "I don't know yet, but I haven't come this month, Guishui."

Chen Tiegen was so happy that he wanted to jump on the roof and walked around the room for a dozen times before he calmed down.

"I'm also doing it for us in the future, don't worry, I won't be jealous!"

Glancing at the widow's still flat belly, Chen Tiegen gritted his teeth and agreed.

The next day, I went to the abandoned courtyard.

Now this abandoned small courtyard is no longer dilapidated and dilapidated. After cleaning up by the mother and daughter, it looks clean and tidy.Of course, the east and west compartments are still unusable, but there are only four in Guiya's family, and the upper room alone is enough.

The wild weeds in the courtyard have been pulled out long ago, and it has been reclaimed by Lady Gui into a vegetable field with various vegetable seedlings planted on it.A chicken coop was built in a corner of the yard. At this time, there were more than a dozen little yellow chickens in the open space separated by a fence, scrambling to peck at the chicken food on the ground.

"Why are you here?" Gui Yaniang looked at Chen Tiegen, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Chen Tiegen lowered his head embarrassingly, lifted the cloth bag in his hand, and said, "I thought your life would be difficult, so I secretly saved some food and sent it to you."

There is not much food, only half a bag, about five or six catties.If it was said that Chen Tiegen asked Mrs. Chen for the food, Gui Yaniang would never believe it, but hearing him say that she saved it secretly, she couldn't help but think of the past when her mother-in-law didn't let her and her two daughters have enough to eat, and the man secretly hid it. Take your own rations and give them something to eat.

Feeling agitated, Miss Gui thought a lot for a moment. She took a deep breath, glanced at Chen Tiegen, and said, "No need, you should take it back. Our family is not short of food now."

Chen Tiegen became even more embarrassed. He raised his head and glanced at Gui Yaniang, then lowered his head again.

"It's your business, it's just my wish. Ben, Ben should have come a long time ago, but you also know..." After a pause, he said again: "Mother, the old man pays close attention to this point. The food is also hidden by me secretly hiding a little every day."

Gui Ya Niang gave him a complicated look, and opened the door.

"Come in and sit."

A flash of joy flashed in Chen Tiegen's eyes, and he nodded.
