Wang family, at the west end of the village, lost an unlucky little girl. Xu family, at the east end of the village, picked up a girl named Fuman'er.
Everyone in the village said, "Th...
When Huang Mei and her daughter pushed open the courtyard gate, they were both shocked by the scene before them.
Old Huang was sitting in the middle, surrounded by three women. One was playing the piano, another was playing the drums, and the third was squatting next to Old Huang, serving him tea and water.
"Old Huang!" Huang's mother shouted, because she saw that the woman squatting on the ground had leaned most of her body against Old Huang.
This loud shout finally drew the attention of everyone in the courtyard. Old Huang snapped to attention and looked at his wife's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He said awkwardly, "You're back?"
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?"
As Huang's mother spoke, she rushed inside, while the two people playing the zither and drums didn't stop their movements. For a moment, the courtyard was filled with shouts and the sounds of musical instruments, making it extremely noisy.
After being yelled at, the three women in the courtyard stood up gracefully and curtsied to her, saying, "Sisters greet elder sister."
elder sister?
Huang's mother was stunned. What sisters or cousins? She didn't have any.
"Dad, what's going on?" Huang Mei looked at the three women in front of her. They all looked younger than Huang's mother, and each of them was quite pretty.
"This..." Old Huang glanced guiltily at his mother, "I don't know what happened either."
"You let people into the house without knowing what happened?" Huang's mother shouted again.
Old Huang was also feeling guilty, so he simply lowered his head and dared not speak.
Huang Mei asked the three women, "Hey, who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

The woman in the lead said with a charming smile, "Miss Huang, we've come to become sisters with your mother."
"What do you mean by this?" Huang's mother was a little confused, but she could tell from the three women that they were not good people.
"Sister, don't you understand?" The three women covered their mouths and laughed. One of them said, "Sister, isn't it true that a man should have three wives and concubines? Well, here we are!"
The three of them laughed as they spoke. Their voices were soft and delicate, and they glanced at Old Huang as they laughed.
The Huang mother and daughter were stunned for a moment before finally realizing that this was the same answer Huang's mother had given when Xu Jiafu and Man'er asked the question.
"Did the Xu family send you here?" Huang's mother asked.
"Yes and no," the women said. "It's mainly about you, sister."
“My sister said that men should have three wives and four concubines, so we sisters came here.”
"When did I say that?" Huang's mother felt like she could hardly breathe. They were all so old, why were they still having multiple wives and concubines?
"Sister, you have such a bad memory. Have you forgotten what I said back at the Xu family?"

"Hey, stop fighting, stop fighting!"
Huang's mother was pinched several times and was at a disadvantage. When she heard Old Huang's voice, she turned her head and called out.
"Old Huang, are you even a man? Look at how these wild women are bullying me and your daughter, and you're just standing by and watching."
"Ouch." Just as she turned her head to speak, Huang's mother felt a tightness in her scalp, as if someone had pulled her hair out.
"Mother, Mother, save me, sob sob." Huang Mei was just a little girl, and she was quickly pinned to the ground, so she had no choice but to ask her mother for help.
But Huang's mother was powerless to help; her own hair was being held tightly in someone else's hand.
"Old Huang, are you dead or what? Why are you just watching us get bullied?"
Old Huang, who was standing nearby, was extremely anxious. He already had a limp, and if he wasn't careful when he got close to them, he would get caught in the crossfire.
"Let go, let go!" With his wife and daughter in such a state, Old Huang didn't care about anything else and reached out to grab one of the women.
Whether it was because he was strong or the woman took advantage of the situation, the woman was indeed pulled away and then fell onto Lao Huang.

"Brother Huang, you really know how to be considerate. You're so reluctant to use your strength when you pull someone along." The woman said in a high-pitched voice. Old Huang was startled and instinctively pulled his hand back.
The woman lost her balance and leaned directly against Lao Huang.
This scene made Huang Mu's eyes turn red. She struggled to rush over, shouting, "You bitch, get away from me!"
Just as she was about to rush over, the woman on Old Huang flipped over to the other side, and Huang's mother crashed directly into Old Huang.
She rushed over with all her might, and the collision knocked Lao Huang to the ground.
With a soft thud, mixed with a faint cracking sound, Old Huang's wailing and howling erupted.
"Ouch, that hurts, that hurts."
Huang's mother didn't hit the person she wanted to hit, so she climbed up on top of Lao Huang and said, "You're a grown man, yet you're so delicate."
She thought Lao Huang was crying in pain because she had knocked him to the ground.
As she spoke, she slapped Lao Huang on the chest, helping him to his feet, and tried to chase after the woman to hit her.

Old Huang was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. "My leg, my leg!" He had just moved it slightly, and the pain in his leg was unbearable. He dared not move it at all now.
Huang's mother had already run away, but when she heard his shout, she turned around and saw that Old Huang's expression was off and he was pointing at his leg. She quickly rushed over.
"Legs? What happened to your legs?"
Old Huang's fingers trembled, and his lips were pale. "My leg... my leg is broken."
It broke again.
"What, what should we do?" Huang's mother's mind went blank, and she didn't know what to do. She even reached out to touch Lao Huang's leg, which resulted in Lao Huang letting out a loud, pig-like squeal.
"Old Huang, are you alright?" Huang's mother hurriedly withdrew her hand, looking at Old Huang with concern.
"Find a doctor." Old Huang was in so much pain that he was about to faint, and just as he was about to lose consciousness, he finally managed to say those three words.
Huang's mother suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly ran to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a lot of people standing outside. They were all neighbors who had come to see what was happening at the Huang family's house.
"Sister Huang, what's wrong?" someone asked, peeking into the yard.

"Doctor, find a doctor, my leg, my leg!" Huang's mother was so anxious that she couldn't speak coherently. "Old Huang's leg is broken, broken."
Someone saw Old Huang lying on the ground and immediately went to call a doctor. At this time, everyone took the opportunity to enter the Huang family's courtyard.
During the daytime, a large carriage suddenly appeared in front of the Huang family's house, and three women got out. The carriage drove away, but the three women had not yet come out.
Everyone was incredibly curious and speculated about the relationship between these three women and the Huang family.
When the Huang family mother and daughter returned in the evening, the courtyard was never quiet. The noise was so loud that it was hard to ignore.
Sure enough, everyone was listening at the door. Now that the door is open, they're all saying words of concern while curiously looking around.
The doctor arrived quickly, and the women stopped fighting, but they were all disheveled and had scratches on their faces, indicating that the fight had been quite intense.
Huang Mei followed the doctor into the house, crying and sobbing, where the doctor was examining her.
The house was small, so many people stood in the courtyard, including the three women.
Someone couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Ladies, are you related to the Huang family?"

"What relatives? We'll be part of the Huang family soon!"
The people in the courtyard became even more curious. "Girl, what do you mean by that?"
"Sister Huang said that a man should have three wives and four concubines, so we've come here to be her younger sisters."
The woman's words shocked everyone, their mouths agape. "Impossible! Old Huang and his wife have been together for so many years, how could Huang's wife say such a thing?"
"If she hadn't said anything, would we have come here? We'd be wasting our time," the woman said while straightening her clothes.
"She not only said that men should have three wives and four concubines, but she also made her daughter a concubine."
"What?" Another commotion broke out in the crowd. "Xiao Mei is pretty and hardworking. Is she going to become someone's concubine?"
"Who knows?" The woman pursed her lips. "I heard she was going to be a concubine for some Xu family or some other wealthy family. Today, they even took the young lady to the Xu family."
"You really want to become a concubine?"
"I can't believe it. The Huang family isn't bad either. How did she end up as someone's concubine?"

"Yes, I was just saying the other day that I'd find Xiaomei a decent young man, but Sister Huang refused. I was wondering why Xiaomei isn't in a hurry to get married, since she's already of marriageable age."
“How can an honest young man compare to the Xu family?” the woman tidying up the clothes interjected.
"Yes, that's true. But I didn't realize the Huang family was like this."
"Of course, she's still our own daughter. Sending her to be a concubine would be harming her."
"I never would have guessed. I thought the Huang family doted on their daughter. In the end, they still have to rely on her for advancement."
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Old Huang and his wife seemed quite kind, who would have thought they would treat their daughter so badly?"
"Oh my goodness, this Mrs. Huang is something else! She's even finding a concubine for her husband. What was she thinking?"
As everyone got into the discussion, they wanted to ask where Huang's mother had found the three women in the courtyard, but when they looked back, they couldn't find them anywhere.
"Huh, where did everyone go?"
"I was just watching, where did it go?"

"I don't know."
"I didn't see them. They were just talking over there."
The Huang family's courtyard was bustling with noise. At that moment, a carriage arrived at the Huang family's gate, stayed for a moment, and then left and disappeared into the night.
