Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 266 Cause of Death
Shuan Shuan was woken up in his sleep, and he didn't bother to wash up. With disheveled hair, he stumbled in and saw his grandma.Immediately rushed forward and cried loudly.She has been dependent on the old lady since she was a child, and she has suffered a lot. Although she has been wronged because of her parents and stepmother's family, she still loves her grandmother sincerely in her heart. The clothes for the four seasons are embroidered and sent by herself, every one or two days. On the [-]st, I made the food by myself and sent it to someone. Yesterday, my grandma asked the winter solstice to tell her that the ribs and winter melon soup tasted very good.Why did grandma leave in just one day, and what happened to the blood on her head? How could grandma get hurt?
Mu Ai was also crying so hard, she blamed herself even more deeply, if she had stayed to take care of her just now, wouldn't the old lady have died?The girls were running around in a hurry, wanting to persuade but didn't know how to speak.

Xiao An took the cloak, and Chun Equinox hurriedly put it on her tightly. Just as she was about to speak, Lian Fu, Grandpa Li, Grandma Li and most of the people in the village came.

As soon as Grandma Li entered the door, seeing the miserable state of the old lady, she also burst into tears, "Old girl, what's the matter, why did you leave suddenly, who do you want me to talk to in the future. Old girl..."

Grandpa Li also had a bad complexion. They are all old people of the same generation. They have lived together in the village for many years, and they belong to the same family for three generations. Now that the old lady has left like this, no one feels good.

Mu Ai took out her handkerchief, wiped her tears, turned around and bowed to Grandpa Li and the other elders, and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa Li, you know that I am not from our place, and the old man needs nothing to live in peace. I understand. I have to trouble the village chief and fellow villagers to help with the collection. Don’t worry about money, just pick the best ones.”

Grandpa Li waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, his fourth aunt is an elder, and anyone in the village can help. Besides..." Speaking of this, the old man suddenly remembered that the old lady is not like a few years ago, Li After giving birth, she has a son to serve her.So I looked around, but I didn't see Li Sheng's shadow, so I asked angrily, "I'm having a son, his mother is gone, where did he go?"

Other villagers also found out about this, and they searched around, but there was still no one.Mu Ai looked at the old lady on the bed and said, "Grandma talked with him before she passed away."

Everyone looked at the injury and expression on the old lady's head, and then thought of Li Sheng's usual behavior, and they all understood in their hearts.So, everyone cursed angrily, "This is simply not as good as a beast. It pissed off my old lady, and she ran away in fear of crime." "No, we must bring him back and open a ancestral hall to practice family law." "Yes, yes."

Grandpa Li frowned tightly and raised his hand to press it down. After everyone stopped talking, he looked at Mu Ai, "Madam Xian is not an old man who doesn't believe what you say, but it's about a person's reputation. Be more careful." After finishing speaking, he said in a very dignified manner, "Where are the people who serve by his fourth aunt on weekdays?"

Xiao Hua'er and Aunt Xu rushed to the front, bowed their heads and knelt down.

Grandpa Li asked, "Before the accident happened to the old lady, who of you was there to serve?"

Aunt Xu hurriedly replied, "I accidentally caught wind and cold these two days, the old lady was kind and allowed me to go back to my room early to rest. So, I don't know what happened at all."

The old man nodded, staring at Xiao Hua'er with piercing eyes, Xiao Hua'er was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "It's none of my business, it's none of my business, I'm just curious why Mrs. Xian came to see the old lady alone at night, and wanted to listen to the old lady in the corner As a result, Mrs. Xian left before I heard a few words. Later, the old lady asked me to call the master, and they quarreled in the room, as if they were talking about gambling debts or marriage. Later, I heard a bang inside, I don’t know anything else, I really don’t know.”

Grandpa Li and everyone saw that she was terrified like chaff, guessing that she was not lying, so they believed in their hearts that the death of the old lady must have something to do with Li Sheng.

But Grandpa Li still asked, "What gambling debts? Could it be that his fourth aunt is so angry because of the gambling debts?" It sounds like he is asking Xiao Hua'er, but in fact he is asking Mu Ai.

Mu Ai raised her eyes and looked around, and said, "Originally, this matter is regarded as a family scandal of grandma, I don't want to say it in front of her old man, but in order to clear up the doubts of the villagers, I have to offend. Li Sheng Because of gambling, I owed money to the Jin family in Mojiawan outside Dongshan, so I wanted to marry Shuan Shuan to pay off the debt. I came here alone to discuss with my grandma to help Li Sheng pay off the gambling debt first, otherwise Shuan Shuan's life will be ruined Unexpectedly, I avoided suspicion and went back to the yard, and this happened to my back foot."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone cheered. This Li Sheng is simply too out of line. Tiger poison doesn't even eat children. After he has been away for many years and finally returns, he wants to use his daughter to pay off his gambling debts. He is simply inferior to a beast. .The people in Li's Village are simple and honest, and such a thing has never happened before, so everyone is angry and has no doubts.

Mu Ai called Guo Huai over, told him to go back and fetch 200 taels of silver, handed it to Lian Fu with both hands, gave a slight salute and said, "This is 200 taels of silver, and I hope the village chief and all the villagers will be troubled. "

Lian Fu hurriedly avoided, and said, "Don't worry Madam Xian, we will leave the funeral to us."

Grandpa Li also said, "This Li Sheng is so unfilial, we must not tolerate it. We must allocate some people to catch him back."

The rest of the clan elders also echoed, saying that what the elders are most afraid of is that their children are not filial, and they have no one to rely on when they are old.If an unfilial person like Li Sheng is not severely punished, if the young people in the village follow suit in the future, won't this kind of tragedy happen again for a few days?
Lian Fu was also a neat man, and immediately began to assign people, who would go to the city to buy things, who would be responsible for setting up the coffin in the courtyard, etc. The things were trivial and complicated, but he was able to handle them with ease, obviously he had done it many times.

Grandma Li also found a small box one foot square in the ebony cabinet in the corner of the old lady's room together with the second grandma Li in the west of the village and several old ladies of similar age. The circling serpent.This is the custom in Baihua Country. When every old man reaches the age of [-], no matter whether his family is rich or poor, he must try his best to buy a set of good makeup and old clothes and store them in a wooden box. It is the zodiac sign of the elderly.Only when the old man dies can he open the box and take out his clothes to dress up.

Originally because of poverty, the old lady bought a set of dresses made of brown thick cotton for herself. Later, because Muai was filial, she sent them bundles of high-quality fabrics, not to mention money, and the old lady sewed them for herself. A set of brocade flowers.At this time, after a while of busy work, the old lady changed her dress, combed her hair neatly, put on a red gold hairpin, and put on a twisted silver bracelet. She lay quietly on the bed with a peaceful and serene face. It seems that all sorrows and joys have been put aside, and it is the same as detached from the world.

So, Shuan Shuan and Mu Ai cried even harder.Several old ladies also turned their heads and wiped away their tears.

Because they had to wait until dawn for the coffin to arrive, so Chun Equinox and the others invited Grandma Li to wait in the wing to rest, leaving only Mu Ai and sisters to stay by the old lady's bed.Both Aunt Xu and Xiao Hua'er had embarrassing faces, shedding a few tears from time to time, not sure if they were really crying for the old lady, or worried about their future.

Mu Ai remembered how they were eager to get rid of the crime just now, and was a little upset, so she sent them to guard the yard.

In this way, the two sisters cried for a while, stopped for a while, and kept watch until dawn. Mr. Wang entered the yard in a hurry, and shouted from a long distance, "Is Li's sister really gone? Didn't I say that her illness can't be cured?" Angry?"

Saying that he had already entered the house, he didn't even bother to talk to Mu Ai, so he went up to check on the old lady, but the more he looked, the more suspicious he reached out to lift the old lady, pressed on the back of her neck, and then slapped her Suddenly, the old lady was photographed on the back, and the mouth that had been closed opened, and two small beans were sprayed out.

Mr. Wang only took one look, then sighed, slowly put down the old lady's body, and then said angrily, "The old lady is not in good health, and it's fine if she doesn't take good care of her on weekdays. Why do you let her suffer like this?" Big injury?"

Mu Ai stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, are you saying that my grandma died because of an injury to her forehead?"

Mr. Wang shook his head, "The wound on the forehead looks scary. In fact, if you press it with a veil immediately, you can stop the bleeding with medicine and you'll be fine. The old lady... was actually stuck to death by those two beans."

Everyone sighed repeatedly when they heard this. They never thought that the old lady had been strong all her life, and she was stuck to death by two beans. Is this a coincidence or bad luck?

After another hour, more than a dozen young daughter-in-laws came to help one after another.Mu Ai went back to her own yard, comforted a few frightened children who didn't know what had happened, and told Dayu Tao'er to take good care of the three little ones.

He also took out the pork and chicken stored in the space, caught dozens of fish in the pool, and asked Guo Huai to send them over together.Aunt Guo also took Wu Ersao to the vegetable field to pick a few large pots of vegetables, entrusted the big kitchen to Wu Ersao to take care of it, and then rushed to the West Courtyard to work with the young wives.

It is customary in the village to take care of the three meals a day of the helpers for weddings, weddings and weddings.And when the matter is over, you have to back up the thank you gift. For those who are rich, it is snacks, and for those who have no money, dry biscuits are fine. What I care about is this sincere gratitude.

The people in the village originally accepted Mu Ai's great kindness, but now the old lady has gone again. Without her to keep her in the way, Mr. Li won't say what kind of punishment he will suffer. He himself is not liked by others. It was a bit hard to say how to support the village as before, and everyone felt a little nervous, so they wanted to take this opportunity to make a good impression on Mu Ai.

The whole yard was busy and orderly. Aunt Guo led the young daughters-in-law to work in the kitchen in the corner of the yard. Because of the sudden incident, there was no time to make the dough, so they could only beat the eggs into the flour and bake the cakes.Boil another large pot of tofu and vegetable soup.Everyone took turns to eat a few bowls, and then continued to work.
