farmer's little girl

Chapter 75
As soon as Lu Minghai said this, there was a lot of discussion among the big furniture.

Old man Lu's younger brother, also Lu Minghai's third uncle, persuaded him: "Minghai, we all know that your family has been wronged, but we are a family after all..."

Uncle Lu interrupted: "Third brother, it's okay, Haizi must have his own ideas for saying that. As the saying goes, elder brother is like father, and elder sister-in-law is like mother. Pointing at others to respect them? Let me say, the second child, you are too confused. Even if the family is separated, even if the eldest is not too young, but what do you eat, let them do what they want? These days, the village Who doesn't point at your family's backbone and scold, no matter how poor the country people are, they don't behave like you..."

Uncle Lu is now seventy years old, with a strong body and a loud voice, and he can eat three bowls of rice at a meal.When the three families first separated in the early years, they were very close. As time passed, everyone had children and grandchildren, especially the old man Lu and his wife, who were bewildered because of a daughter. Uncle Lu and his wife had persuaded them a lot. It's a pity not to listen.Since then, the two families have drifted apart.

Uncle Lu told Tian Shi a long time ago that as long as the second child continues to be confused, something will happen to the family sooner or later.Although this matter has nothing to do with Lu Guili in essence, in the final analysis, the reason why the Hu family had a grudge with the Erfang family was because of her.

There is a saying in ancient times that if you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a family member, but this sentence is not absolute. If the behavior of the younger generation in the family exceeds the bottom line, the head of the family must stand up and stop it.

The old man Lu blushed from the embarrassment of his elder brother, and he was speechless.

Now that Uncle Lu has spoken, other people from the two families will naturally stop making peace.Naturally, Li Zheng wouldn't get involved in this kind of family affairs, he just shook his head and sighed, and didn't speak.

Villages with mixed surnames like Daxi Village have no ancestral hall and no patriarch. If something big happens in a certain family and needs outsiders to judge, they will usually invite elders with a surname from the family, as well as more official people like Li Zheng Come out and judge.

Under such circumstances, Lizheng generally would not say anything, that is to say, as long as an elder like Uncle Lu speaks, the matter is almost a foregone conclusion.

"Haizi, uncle has no opinion on this matter, but those who should honor their parents, I still hope you..." Uncle Lu didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Lu Minghai understood what he meant.

"Uncle, I understand. I will send over the food and money for support every year in the future, but the two families will no longer communicate with each other." Lu Minghai said.

In fact, generally speaking, sons like Lu Minghai who have been separated from their families do not need to continue to be cared for, because when the family was separated, the son who was responsible for providing for his parents received most of the family property.Of course, it's not that they won't be given, it's just that they have been changed to rituals and yearly rituals, and those who are filial will be more filial, and no one will stop them.Of course, if you don't want to be filial, at most someone will point to your spine and make a few comments, which can't be regarded as a fault in the big picture.

It's just that today is different from the past, Lu Minghai's behavior has already indicated that he will no longer associate with this place in the future, the old man Lu and his wife have both been with the big house, and they can be regarded as big house people, so they are naturally 'involved'.In fact, it is not considered to be a burden. The matter will develop to this point, and the old man Lu is also responsible.He's just a son, so how can he criticize him nakedly, but everyone can understand the meaning of these words.

Uncle Lu patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "That's fine, Uncle knows you are a good boy."

Old man Lu hardly had a chance to speak, so the matter was settled like this, and everyone dispersed after that.Lu Minghai didn't even look at old man Lu, so he took his family and prepared to leave with his father-in-law's family.

The old man Lu stopped him from behind: "Second brother, your elder brother is not at home now, and I don't know if he can come back, you..."

Lu Minghai paused: "Brother will come back, dad, you don't have to worry about no one taking care of you."

The case reached a stalemate on whether it was because of Dafang's soybean milk that the deceased died in vain.

Lu Mingchuan knew nothing about the matter, and no matter how Hu was interrogated, he never admitted that he ate his own soybean milk and killed him.The reason she said was very convincing. There were quite a few people who bought her soy milk that day, and no one else died.It's just something for overnight, how can it eat dead people.

This reason is indeed tenable. After the incident, although many people scolded that shop for a black-hearted peddler, it is true that no one had diarrhea.Looking at the subject again, an old man of seventy years of age, although there are no major problems on weekdays, there are frequent minor problems, and it is necessary to seek medical advice, maybe he has hidden diseases?

After two interrogations in court, Hu also saw some clues, and even insisted on this reason, and the case naturally reached a stalemate.

It's just that her life is not easy, she is not like Mrs. Mei, she is taken care of secretly, she lives in a single cell, and she is provided with food and water for three meals, and she is not lacking in bedding and clothes.Hu lives in 'Datongpu', which is commonly known as a cell where many female prisoners are held.Most of the female prisoners here committed minor crimes, even if they could not reach the point of exile or beheading, they must be punished, and they were usually released after being locked up for a year or so.

There are not many women who can survive in prison without dying. Few of them are simple.The law of the jungle exists everywhere, and it is especially obvious in this kind of place.On the first day Hu was imprisoned, his food was robbed, so that he was starved for a whole day.

In the next few days, this situation continued to happen, and every day, she was left with some leftovers from starvation.Hu's heart was frightened, and he was tortured by others. After a few days, he couldn't bear it anymore, and learned to fight with others for food.Mrs. Hu had just been imprisoned, and she usually had enough food and clothing at home, so she was naturally much stronger than these female prisoners who were always starving and freezing.Especially since she was big, she was not a good stubble. After a few days, although she was beaten all over her body, she was finally able to grab enough food to fill her stomach.And everyone knows that she is not easy to bully, so gradually no one will come up to bully her.

People like to pinch soft persimmons, this is people's bad nature.When you know that this persimmon is not easy to squeeze, but if it is a hedgehog on the contrary, it is generally unnecessary, and you will not take the initiative to provoke it.

The same experience happened to Lu Mingchuan.

It's not that someone deliberately 'take care' of them, but that the ecological environment in the cell is just like this.

But Lu Mingchuan didn't have Hu's ruthlessness, so he was tortured very hard, especially his mind suffered day and night.Many times, he thought he couldn't make it through, but the only reason left was telling him that he couldn't be admitted, otherwise his descendants would be finished.

On this day, Lu Mingchuan was brought up alone.

"you can go now."

Hearing these words, Lu Mingchuan thought he was dreaming.

"The host family decided not to sue you, and decided to reconcile in private. Your family paid money to compensate the other party's loss. If the people don't sue the officials, don't you want to stay with us and eat in prison?"

Lu Mingchuan was terrified, "No, no..."

"Then don't hurry up!"

After leaving the prison, the bright sunlight suddenly shone into his eyes, Lu Mingchuan stretched out his hand to block it, and took several deep breaths before he clearly realized that he really came out.

A person also came out from the next door, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar look of the other person, Lu Mingchuan was a little dazed.

"His father..."

Hu cried out in joy.

She was unkempt, her face was puffy, and it was almost impossible to tell who she really was.

Lu Mingchuan was startled, and glanced at her.I don't know what he was thinking, and he didn't even pay attention to Mrs. Hu, so he hurried outside.

Hu also knew that she looked scary, so she wondered if the man didn't recognize her, and chased her out while shouting.

After going out, there were two people standing and sitting in the opposite corner.

Standing is Lu Guangren, and sitting on the ground is Lu old man, both of them have anxious expressions on their faces.The old man Lu was even older, his hair was almost all white, and his face was covered with dense wrinkles, like an old tree root that was about to rot.

The family of the sudden death came to the door and said they would have a good 'talk' with their family.Talking and talking, but wanting money.In order to save his eldest son, old man Lu also fought his life. All six acres of land in his family were sold for nearly 80 taels of silver.

In fact, this matter itself is operable. If it is serious, it is a human life lawsuit. If it is light, it can also be said that the old man is weak and has a relapse. It depends on who has the means to get rid of the crime.Although the victim's family was very angry, after all the death was like a lamp being extinguished, and the incident had been going on and on for so long, and they went to the county government again and again to ask questions, and they were tired of it.So under the guidance of someone with a heart, decided to reconcile in private.

80 taels of silver is already the limit that the Lu family can pay.After threatening several times, seeing that there was really no way to squeeze out the oil and water, and if the pressure continued, the chicken would be thrown away, so the family agreed to the compensation amount of the Lu family.

During this period, because there was no one in the big house who could do the job, only the old man Lu performed the knife himself, so these days he was really exhausted physically and mentally, otherwise it would not have been like this.

"Father, it's all sons who are unfilial!"

Looking at the old man Lu like this, Lu Mingchuan fell to his knees with a plop, prostrated himself on the ground, and began to cry.

Old man Lu stroked his son's loose hair and sighed, "It's good to be back, it's good to be out."

What a picture of a loving father and a filial son, but it's a pity that this picture was quickly shattered.

"Ren'er, the child's father, father..."

It's Hu's.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at the three of them with excitement.Especially Lu Guangren, she couldn't get enough of it.She thought that she would never see her son again, who would have thought that another village would be brightened by the dark flowers, but she was released.

Lu Guangren's pupils shrank, avoiding Hu's hand.

He thought about what old man Lu had said to him before he came here.

"If you don't want to be unable to be a human being in the future, you can no longer recognize this mother..."

Lu Guangren is not a child, on the contrary, he is already an adult, married a wife and had a son.Living in a place like the countryside since he was a child, he is very aware of the importance of reputation to a person.It's like before, before the incident between him and Cui He, when he was walking outside, all the old and young people in the village greeted him very warmly when they saw him.But after that incident, almost no one was willing to give him a positive face, not to mention that after the incident with his parents, he had already reached the point where people hated him in the village.

Cui He complained to him more than once, saying that she would not dare to go out again, otherwise her saliva would drown them.

Lu Guangren didn't want to continue living the days of isolation from the world, so he had to stay away from the source of everything.

"Ren'er..."

Hu looked at her son in disbelief. This was his son, the son she loved the most on weekdays.And now her son actually hates her? !

Old man Lu said, "Mr. Hu, go away, our family will not tolerate you any longer."

"father……"

"Don't call me dad. I'll ask the boss to write you a letter of divorce after I go back. Don't explain anything. The reason why so many troubles happened is because of you. We forgive you time and time again, and you time and time again It got worse once. Now the family’s land has been sold to save you and the boss. Our family doesn’t dare to have a daughter-in-law like you. No matter how big the family is, it’s not enough for you to cause such a disaster. Don’t rush to argue, Mrs. Hu I’ve already told you everything, you were the one who sold the overnight soy milk without telling everyone, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn’t have happened.”

Old man Lu hadn't said so much in one breath for a long time, so he coughed after finishing speaking.Lu Mingchuan hurriedly stepped forward to give him comfort, and the old man Lu held his hand firmly, and asked, "Boss, do you agree with what Dad said?" He was afraid that the boss would be soft-hearted and be seduced by this woman named Hu .

With tears in his eyes, Lu Mingchuan nodded repeatedly: "Father, I agree, agree, don't worry."

The old man Lu finally swallowed the breath he held in his throat.At the same time, the whole person relaxes.Rather than addressing the Hu family, these words might as well be a warning to Lu Mingchuan.Now the family can no longer stand the toss. It is easy to destroy a good reputation, but it is difficult to rebuild it.But it is difficult to do, otherwise his eldest son and grandson will not be able to hold their heads up in the future.

"Mr. Hu, let's go. I will send the divorce letter to your natal family."

After finishing speaking, Lu Mingchuan stopped going to see Mrs. Hu, and walked forward with the help of old man Lu.But Lu Guangren hesitated for a moment, without raising his head, he followed behind.

"His father, Ren'er..."

Hu was left alone, standing alone on the street, desolate alone.

Knowing that this incident was thanks to Sister Han Jin's family, Erfang's family decided to pay a visit in person, thanking them very much.

He didn't dare to make it too bright, so only the second wife and Lu Jiaoyue went to the door together.

He didn't dare to carry too many things in big and small bags, so he deliberately brought two clothes made by Lu Jiaoyue himself, and some tea, wine, etc., which were not too bulky but definitely sincere.

Han Lamei entertained them warmly and left them to eat at home.

Li Shuicheng was naturally there during this period.

Lu Minghai has a bright personality. Although Li Shuicheng is used to being cold and solemn, he also knows that this will be his brother-in-law's in-law's family in the future, so he looks at him differently, and the two men chat very warmly.As for the women, needless to say, Han Lamei has a slick personality, although she dared not do too much because of her younger brother's confession, but her words and deeds all showed that she liked Lu Jiaoyue very much.More than once in front of the second wife and his wife, whoever marries Lu Jiaoyue in the future will be really blessed.

After eating, they stayed at Li's house for a while before the family of three in the second bedroom went home.

The Erfang family came here by donkey cart.

On the way home, Mrs. Mei sat on the right side of the car shaft, swayed her body and said to Lu Minghai: "The elder sister who joined the brother is a lively person, and she is also good-looking, she is a lucky person."

Lu Minghai laughed at her: "There are too many good words, this is almost home, and you are still so sweet."

Mei scolded him: "I'm telling the truth. If Lamei girl didn't say it herself, I wouldn't be able to see that she is also from the countryside. And why is she not lucky? Although Chief Li is a little older than her, but I love my daughter-in-law when I'm older. I really didn't see that Li Butou has a cold face, but he is also considerate and considerate. And I think Lamei girl likes our Jiaoyue so much. If her son is not young, I It looks like she wants to marry Jiaoyue back as her daughter-in-law."

Mentioning this, Lu Minghai felt complacent, "Who calls our daughter good? I'm not boasting."

Mrs. Mei poohed him: "This is not boasting!"

Lu Jiaoyue, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help laughing when she heard what her parents said.When she heard 'I want to marry her home as my daughter-in-law', she couldn't help but blush.

Where is it that she wants to marry back and be a daughter-in-law, she is obviously a younger sister-in-law.

Lu Jiaoyue laughed again when she thought of how her own mother called Jinzishu and elder sister Jinzishu and elder sister Jinzishu, who were helpless and hesitant to speak.

The donkey cart entered the village all the way, and villagers greeted Lu Minghai from time to time.Going back to Erfang's house, we had to pass the courtyard of Dafang. As soon as the donkey cart approached, we saw three people preparing to enter the courtyard.

Seeing the donkey cart coming here, Lu Mingchuan stopped.

"Second child..."

Lu Minghai gave the three of them a very indifferent look, then passed them and turned aside.

When they got home, Mrs. Mei got out of the car and said to Lu Jiaoyue, "It seems that he and Mrs. Hu have suffered a great crime this time."

When Lu Guangzhi saw the donkey cart entering the house, he went up to greet him, and sneered when he heard this: "You deserve it! Why don't you think about it when you hurt someone."

He took the bag from Lu Jiaoyue, which contained some old clothes of Han Lamei. Lu Jiaoyue made a suit of clothes for Li Shuicheng and Han Lamei and sent them to each other, but when she came back, she took a large bag Bag.The clothes are said to be old, but in fact they are [-]% to [-]% new. Han Lamei likes to be pretty, so the colors of the clothes are usually very bright, which is just right for Lu Jiaoyue to wear.

"Okay, just a few words."

Lu Jiaoyue gave her younger brother a push, and made him leave with a wink.

No matter what, she still has to worry about her father's mood.Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, emotionally speaking, her uncle is her father's brother after all, and the two grew up together.

After returning to the house, Lu Guangzhi was standing still in Lu Jiaoyue's room.

"Uncle Jinzi's elder sister didn't slip the tongue, did she?"

Lu Jiaoyue shook her head.

This matter has to be started from before. According to their original intentions, the siblings naturally hope that the eldest wife and his wife will not end well, but they are also worried about the old man and his wife.If the old couple were wiped out and Lu Minghai was ranked second, maybe he would have to shoulder the "big task" of providing for the old couple in the future.

Not to mention that Lu Jiaoyue didn't like these two so-called grandparents anymore, she hadn't forgotten the Du family and Lu Guili who married into the Du family.In order not to cause trouble for her family, she discussed with Lu Guangzhi, one went to Li's house to find Han Lamei, and the other went to Gou Da.

Therefore, there will be good-hearted people 'reporting' the family of the victim and the old couple of the old man Lu.This private reconciliation would not have been possible without some guidance from them.

As for the Hu family, it was just incidental.She and Lu Mingchuan are husband and wife, and they both prosper and lose each other. If you want Lu Mingchuan to come out, you will naturally have to bring her along, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

But I also know that her end will not be good. After returning from Lu Jiaoyue's resurrection, she has insight into the old man Lu's handling of things, and the Hu family will probably be sacrificed by "helplessness".

Facts have proved that Lu Jiaoyue was not wrong.

The next day, Mrs. Hu begged to come to the door, and the old man Lu reprimanded her in public for being an unvirtuous wife, causing harm to the family, and listed many crimes.Afterwards, Lu Mingchuan spoke out in public about his wife's divorce.

Mrs. Hu begged bitterly, no matter what the old man Lu said, he would not leave, and talked about things with his children and grandchildren, telling Lu Mingchuan not to divorce her.

There is really no other way for the Hu family. Now that her reputation has been ruined, it is naturally impossible for her natal family to accept her.When I got home yesterday, my parents were fine. They held her hand and cried for a long time, but none of the older brothers and sisters-in-law had a good face.The words are all urging her to leave quickly, not to cause trouble to her family.

Mrs. Hu insisted on staying at her mother's house all night, and came to Lu's house early this morning.She has made up her mind that no matter what the Lu family says, she will not leave. The eldest son is not filial, and she still has the younger son.The youngest son follows the man's temperament and is a kind person, so he will definitely not ignore her.

Seeing that Mrs. Hu was so ignorant, old man Lu was very angry, but he couldn't speak clearly in front of people.We can only let people drag Hu Shi and drive her out.

Qiu Cuihe took the initiative to help, took Hu's hand, and dragged her out.

"Mother, if you don't want your two sons and future grandchildren to be unable to hold their heads up in front of people because of your troubles, then you can stay here and not leave."

Qiu Cuihe looked embarrassed and worried on the surface, but the words that came out of his mouth seemed to be poisoned.

Hu looked at her in disbelief.

"You should weigh what I say. I'm also doing it for Brother Ren's benefit." Old thing, she still hasn't forgotten how she scolded herself as a shameless vixen in front of others!

Mrs. Hu hesitated to speak, but after a while, the whole person became depressed.After that, without struggling, Ren Qiu Cuihe pushed her out.

It is heard that the Hu family has returned to her natal family again, and there is a lot of turmoil in the Hu family. Is it because Hu's father and mother are still there, and she is temporarily given a place to live, but it is said that life is extremely difficult.

Of course, this is another story.

That night, Lu Jiaoyue suddenly woke up from her sleep.

She dreamed that something happened to her little uncle and Han Jin.

Recently, she has had this kind of dream from time to time. The content is similar, but the end result is not good.

Lu Jiaoyue has lived two lifetimes, so she naturally understands the truth of thinking day by day and dreaming at night.But it never made her palpitate like this time again, and she had an ominous premonition.

Naturally, she couldn't fall asleep, so in order to distract herself from her anxiety, she lit a candle and embroidered with the light.

She bought this candle specially, just in case of emergency.She had suffered from bad eyesight in her previous life, so she naturally wanted to protect her eyes well.

Until the rooster crowed outside, Lu Jiaoyue didn't stop until Lu Guangyi got up to grind the beans and saw the light in her room, so he came to the window and asked a question.

In front of her brother, Lu Jiaoyue naturally wouldn't say that she had done it all night.He only said that he just woke up and couldn't fall asleep, so he lit a candle and got up to do embroidery work.Afterwards, the lights were naturally turned off, and his father would wake up soon, and his father was not as easy to dismiss as his elder brother.

At the same time, Han Jin and Mei Zhuangyi, who are thousands of miles away, are facing the biggest crisis in their lives.

Looking at the dozens of willow-leaf boats on the river, and the densely packed people on the opposite boat, Mei Zhuangyi couldn't help cursing: "Yang Qingshan still tricked me."
