The Little Widower (farming)

24

The arrival of the Sun family was both unexpected and reasonable.

The Sun family went out that day and never went back. Old Mrs. Sun was still stable the first day, thinking that it would take some time to do things.

But two or three days passed, and no one who went out came back. Then she became anxious and asked her second daughter-in-law to go out to find out the news. However, before the second daughter-in-law walked out, the noise started outside.

Mrs. Sun opened the door with a cane and saw her eldest grandson Sun Wei's father-in-law's family coming. She smiled again: "I wonder why my in-laws came to visit today? Ah Wei went out for something and has not returned home yet."

She said When I was young, my background was not bad, and my speech had a somewhat formal tone, but it's just different now. When I talk like this again, it's annoying.

The man cursed loudly: "Of course I know he hasn't come back yet. He is still squatting in the county jail at the moment. It's not like he can't come back."

His words were like a thunderbolt hitting the remaining people of the Sun family. On the body, Old Mrs. Sun's steps were unsteady. She hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the arm of her future in-law: "You, what did you say?"

The man was afraid that if he pushed her away and broke his bones, he would have to look for him. He struggled to pull his hand away, but at this moment, the neighbors around him stretched their heads to watch the excitement.

He spoke louder: "Now it has spread to our village. Your family treats your aunt harshly, who you have not contacted for so many years, bullies other orphans and widowed mothers, wants to steal other people's sons' pensions, and sell other people's husbands! We don't dare to have this kind of marriage in your family."

He took out a purse from his arms and took out a couple of silver coins: "These are the things your family bought for your daughter at that time. Those things have been returned to you. It's not appropriate. This is the converted money and it will be returned to your family. From now on, the two families will have nothing to do with each other."

"No, in-laws, this..."

The man didn't seem to want to talk to him anymore and gave him the money. Then he left, and when he left, he was glad that he didn't have to settle the marriage in such a hurry. He looked back at the Sun family's house, and felt more and more that he had made the right decision.

A large family is crowded into this house that doesn't even have a yard. Old Mrs. Sun has a fierce look on her face. If this family can do such a thing, I don't know how much hardship they will have to endure when their daughter gets married.

Old Mrs. Sun's blood was boiling all over. When she was about to faint, her second daughter-in-law held her up and said, "Mom, what's going on?"

Old Mrs. Sun looked at the few people left in the family. All the men had gone out, and she stamped He picked up his crutch and said, "I'm going to the county government office!"

Except for a few younger ones, the rest of the Sun family followed Old Mrs. Sun to the county seat. Only when they arrived at the county government office did they know the whole story.

It turned out that Sun Cui had gone to court for that husband, and the county magistrate actually slapped everyone in their family and locked them up for ten days!

Autumn planting is coming soon, and everyone in the family who can work has been locked up. This autumn planting is related to the family's livelihood next year. How can the family members plant so much land now!

After all, Old Mrs. Sun had some knowledge. In the end, she spent five taels of silver to redeem all the men in the house who were imprisoned.

Everyone was silent on the way back. Sun Kang and the others were beaten up, and the medicine was not given in time. Old Mrs. Sun had no choice but to buy medicine for them all, which cost a lot of money.

She was so angry that her teeth almost broke. Not only did she not get any money this time, but she also spent almost ten taels of silver. Sun Cui must get this money, not only the ten taels of silver, but also Sun Wei's marriage. As well as their harvest in the coming year, Sun Cui will have to compensate them all.

It started to rain on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chen Qing and Aunt Sun were in the house selecting seeds, not only from his family, but also from Zhou Yuan.

Aunt Sun took the dustpan away from Chen Qing's legs and asked him to start making clothes: "In addition to yours, there are also Zhou Yuan's."

Chen Qing looked at the two pieces of cloth placed on his bedside: "I don't have any." How to make it?"

Aunt Sun said, "Just ask him."

Chen Qing groaned and fiddled with his thread. For a moment, the room became quiet and the only sound was the sound of raindrops falling on the roof. .

It can be considered leisurely and comfortable.

But this kind of leisure was completely broken after a sound at the door.

Aunt Sun and Chen Qing looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes the look of relief that they had finally come.

Aunt Sun walked out of the main room and saw Mrs. Sun, who never went out, with her two daughters-in-law and two brothers, standing menacingly in front of their house.

Aunt Sun didn't expect that Old Mrs. Sun would come to the door in person. Looking at the people in front of her, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. If Aunt Sun didn't come to the door, it would be impossible for Old Mrs. Sun to condescend to see her.

"Sun Cui, you are very kind." Old Mrs. Sun stared at Aunt Sun fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her flesh and blood, "Sending your own brothers and nephews to prison, you are really my good daughter. "

Aunt Sun's eyes were calm. Maybe she had some fantasies about Old Mrs. Sun in her early years, but after that year, she no longer had expectations for her: "Of course I'm not good, if I'm good. , will my mother kick me out and accuse my married daughter of throwing water?"

Mrs. Sun was wearing a raincoat, but her whole body was still wet from the rain, and Mrs. Sun had no intention of seeing them enter the house. .

"How did you become a daughter!" Aunt Sun's second sister-in-law said, "Looking at your mother being drenched in the rain, how can you be so hard-hearted?"

Chen Qing also jumped out, and he said hesitantly: " Mom, let them take shelter from the rain. If they get sick from the cold, they will cause trouble for us."

Mrs. Sun was not polite at all. She went directly into the main room and took the main seat. She pointed at Aunt Sun and said, "Kneel down. "Exit."

Aunt Sun didn't move at all and retorted: "Why?"

"You assassinated your brother, even the juniors. What crime did they commit? You want to take them to court and get punished!"

"Because they broke into houses and robbed other people's husbands." Mrs. Sun said, "The county magistrate has pronounced the sentence. If you have any objections, you can beat the drum and complain."

Mrs. Sun was so angry that she almost lost her breath. , shifted the target to Chen Qing: "Just for this bought thing! You take your brother to court."

"Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Why don't you resell people and make some money? "You still raise him and let him harm your relatives!"

"That's not a relative!" said Aunt Sun. "You said many years ago that I was not your daughter."

Mrs. Sun pointed at Aunt Sun. : "Let me tell you, it cost me five taels to redeem your brothers, and five taels to treat their injuries. Because of you, Dawei's marriage is ruined, and you have to compensate. If you don't come up with twenty taels today, The money will give Dawei a new wife, and I won't leave."

Aunt Sun laughed: "Twenty taels? Are you dreaming?"

"Meng Tao's . The pension is ten taels, and if you give me this thing and let me sell it, the price will be about the same." Old Mrs. Sun looked into Aunt Sun's eyes, "As long as you give me the money, I will still recognize you. "

If Chen Qing was still worried about whether he would be homeless and sold again in the future, but in these days when he gets along with Aunt Sun, he knows that Aunt Sun has treated him as a family member, and he is not afraid at all.

"I'm not worthy of being your daughter. I don't have a heart as dark as yours. I won't give you any money or people. This is my son. I'm not like you, who can ruthlessly treat your own children." Sold."

When Old Mrs. Sun saw that she was out of luck, she was also angry: "Go and arrest the man and take him away."

Old Mrs. Sun said, "Even if he can't be sold, he still has to be my Dawei's husband!" It's because of him that Dawei's originally arranged marriage was reneged on." Old Mrs. Sun was so angry that she looked at Chen Qing's appearance and simply took him home, so that Dawei didn't need to prepare for his marriage. Another betrothal gift.

The two women following her also worked in the fields all day long. They were very strong. Aunt Sun could block one, but not two. Besides, there were two younger ones, and they were already heading towards her. Chen Qing went.

Chen Qing stood at the door of his room and touched the stick he used to beat someone when someone came to steal money last time. He hit the lady who was trying to pull Aunt Sun's hair on the arm with the stick.

The room was in chaos. Old Mrs. Sun stood and watched several people fighting together. She didn't even notice the noise outside the door and was about to go inside to look through her money bag.

Chen Qing remembered that his mother's money was all on the bedside. He jumped over and snatched away Mrs. Sun's crutches. Mrs. Sun stumbled and fell uncontrollably. She was about to hit her on the ground. On Chen Qing's body.

The imaginary weight was not on his body. Chen Qing raised his head and watched Zhou Yuan lift Mrs. Sun's clothes from the back of her neck and slide her away without any effort.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the room full of people. Chen Qing and Aunt Sun were obviously at a disadvantage. After all, one was old and the other was disabled.

"Which family are you from?" Old Mrs. Sun was still being carried by Zhou Yuan. His hands didn't tremble at all, and he could even swing Old Mrs. Sun around twice more.

Old Mrs. Sun had never experienced such an insult. She was so shameless when someone held her by the collar.

Zhou Yuan put the person down, first helped Chen Qing up, then pulled the person off Aunt Sun, and then pulled Aunt Sun up.

"Which family's younger generation is so ignorant!" Mrs. Sun pointed at Zhou Yuan's nose and scolded, "No one taught you not to come to other people's homes when discussing things!"

Zhou Yuan said, "No one taught you "My parents are already dead."

"You!"

Zhou Yuan said again: "Meng Tao asked me to help him take care of his mother. If someone bullies his mother, I will definitely come to help. Seeing how you are doing this, You are indeed bullying."

"I am disciplining my daughter, and it is your turn to make irresponsible remarks?" Old Mrs. Sun said without fear, "Get out of

here right away ." "Zhou Yuan stood at the door. The originally dark main room seemed darker because he was standing at the door. His voice was coercive, "If you have anything to do, say it in front of me."

He said. The momentum was so intimidating that the two brothers who followed were a little frightened and hid behind Old Mrs. Sun.

Chen Qing stood in the dark and looked at Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan was too tall and had sharp eyebrows. Anyone who saw him for the first time would be frightened by him.

Chen Qing looked at it for a while, and then his eyes fell on the crutch in Mrs. Sun's hand. He looked at his feet again, thinking that he would also find a suitable stick tomorrow so that he could move more easily. .

"If you are here for those useless men in your family, then you should come to me." Zhou Yuan leaned against the door, holding hands with his hands. He first looked at Chen Qing for a while, and then his eyes fell on Old Mrs. Sun. , "I sent them to the county government."

Zhou Yuan added, "I have military merit. As long as I don't like them, I can send them in again at any time."

"Old lady, if you come to the door again I can't guarantee that your family will fall into the Luohe River one day if you cause trouble for your aunt."

"You, you, are you still alive?" Mrs. Sun gasped heavily. He was angry, as if he was extremely angry and would be unable to breathe. But looking at Zhou Yuan, he did not have the aura of a ruffian. On the contrary, he had a terrifying aura of killing and decisiveness.

"Old lady, in this world, whoever has a strong fist is the king." Zhou Yuan took a step in front of her, "How about you continue to cause trouble for them?"
