"Zhengxu, Zhengxu family, you are finally back. Your uncle and aunt have been kowtowed to this man for a while. Look, their foreheads are bruised and bleeding. You should speak up and report the incident!"
Before Shen Jiao saw Lu Wenbo and Zhang Biying, someone started to persuade her.
“Yes, yes, although what Lu Wenbai and Zhang Biying did was not human, they have been miserable these past two days.
Just now your mother hit them with a big broom, but they didn't move at all. They should be considered punished. As the younger generation, you should stop arguing with your elders. ”
…
Everyone started to persuade him.
Although Lu Wenbai and Zhang Biying are annoying people in the village, they are still villagers after all and have lived with the villagers for decades. Now that everyone sees how miserable they are, it is inevitable that they feel sympathy for them.
A dark light flashed in Shen Jiao's eyes.
Haha, she didn't even have the time to deal with the couple, and they actually came knocking on her door.
The couple was really smart. Kneeling and kowtowing at their door not only won the villagers' sympathy, but also, according to local customs, the elders kowtowing to the younger ones was considered the most vicious curse.
Not to mention, Wu Guilan was provoked by the two of them and attacked them, and they didn't fight back. Doesn't this make them get more sympathy and pity?
Chen Jiao walked into the crowd calmly.
Without saying a word, she knelt down opposite Lu Wenbo and Zhang Biying with a thump.
Before she even said anything, her eyes turned red and she looked sad.
As tears fell, she cried, "Uncle and aunt, you are Zhengxu's uncle and aunt!
We didn't expect you to help us when we were in trouble. You reported us to your superiors when we ate our meat. Now it is the national policy to rectify and educate you, but you come to kneel at our door.
Do you want to destroy the blessings of my husband or my children? Or do you want to force our whole family to death? ”
"Uncle and Aunt, I'm the one who has a job now and has a stable job in the government. I'm the one who made you unhappy and asked you to report me. I beg you to let my husband and son go. Don't ruin their luck, okay?"
While crying, Chen Jiao pretended to kowtow to Lu Wenbo and Zhang Biying to beg for mercy.
Lu Wenbai and Zhang Biying had already won the sympathy of the villagers by playing the victim after they had provoked Wu Guilan to attack them.
After hearing Chen Jiao's crying, those who had sympathized with them just now suddenly realized that they were the ones who had been hurting others all along. Even now, they were asking for forgiveness on the surface, but in fact they were disgusting people.
Now, because of the campaign to destroy the four olds, no one dares to mention those feudal superstitions. But as rural people, no matter how much we accept new ideas, it is difficult not to be superstitious.
Chen Jiao pointed this out directly, which made people even more uncomfortable.
Lu Zhengxu was only one step behind Shen Jiao.
When Shen Jiao finished speaking, Lu Zhengxu had already reached her side and picked her up.
Lu Zhengxu's cold eyes swept over Lu Wenbo and Zhang Biying, "Uncle and Aunt cut off ties with our family a long time ago, and now they are trying to annoy my mother and wife. Do you really think that my family is easy to bully now that my father is gone?"
Deep down, Lu Wenbai was a little afraid of his nephew.
Before Lu Zhengxu's leg was not healed, he knew that Lu Zhengxu could not touch him, so he was a little braver.
But now when he met Lu Zhengxu's eyes, his legs felt weak.
He quickly said, "Zhengxu, Third Uncle has realized his mistake, and he really brought Third Aunt here today to ask for your forgiveness.
How could your wife have the idea of destroying the blessings of you and your two children as she said?
The great men have said that we must destroy the four olds and get rid of feudal superstitions. How come your wife is still full of feudal superstitions?
In my opinion, such an uneducated woman will only affect your future. You might as well divorce her as soon as possible. ”
As Lu Wenbai spoke, he stood up and continued to speak to Lu Zhengxu in the same tone as an elder giving advice to a younger person.
The thoughts of the onlookers were once again misled by Lu Wenbai.
"Chen Jiao is still an educated youth, a military wife! How can she have such low ideological awareness and still promote feudal superstition here?"
"I think her level of thinking is not worthy of Zhengxu."
…
The villagers were talking about it.
Some people even shouted to Lu Zhengxu, "Zhengxu, your uncle is right. Shen Zhiqing's ideological awareness is too low. It will affect your future. You should get a divorce as soon as possible."
Chen Jiao glanced at the people who were talking. They were all people who had daughters of marriageable age at home.
These people said such things not entirely because they were led astray by Lu Wenbo.
More importantly, if Lu Zhengxu really divorced Chen Jiao, their daughter would have a chance.
You have to know that in the whole brigade and even in the whole commune, only Lu Zhengxu's family can afford to eat meat every day. Moreover, Lu Zhengxu is capable. Even if Lu Zhengxu and Chen Jiao already have a pair of children, and his daughter marries to become a stepmother, she can not only have enough food but also meat every day. She is in a very lucky place.
After that, he would wait for his daughter to give birth to a son or daughter for Lu Zhengxu, and win over Lu Zhengxu. As for the two born by Shen Jiao, it would be nice to give them food to eat and treat them as two servants.
Lu Zhengxu's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Wenbai, with a dangerous light emitting from his starry eyes.
Chen Jiao reached out and gently squeezed the man's hand, signaling him to be patient.
Although Lu Zhengxu didn't know what the little woman was going to do, his eyes were full of trust as he looked down at her.
Chen Jiao’s gaze returned to Lawrence Lu, she blinked her eyes and said meaningfully: “So Third Uncle knows that we can’t engage in feudal superstition now?
I thought Uncle San didn’t know! ”
Lu Wenbai looked at Chen Jiao's confident look, and suddenly felt a little flustered, "Niece-in-law, what do you mean? I went to a private school, I can read and write, I am very conscious!"
Shen Jiao raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
"Since Third Uncle is very conscious, then Third Uncle, tell me yourself, what are these?"
As Shen Jiao spoke, she took out a net bag from behind and threw it in front of Lawrence Lu.
The net bag was filled with little figures made of straw. The names of the villagers were written on the bodies of the figures with a brush, and each figure had many bamboo sticks stuck on it.
Anyone who participated in criticizing Lu Wenbai at the meeting yesterday has a little man of their own in this net bag.
Although the rural people had not seen much of the world, they had heard some operas and storybooks, and knew that what Lu Wenbai was doing was a kind of exorcism technique used in the palace of the feudal dynasty, which made the emperors and empresses shudder with fear.
Lawrence Lu’s face changed, “This… these things were not done by me, Chen Jiao, you… you bitch, you framed me, you are treasonous, you want to kill me!”
