"What?" Wang Guangping's originally good mood was suddenly shrouded in a cloud of gloom. "Why is she making such a fuss for no reason?"
Although the black bear was attracted by Mrs. Liu, it has been killed and there were no casualties. This can be said to be a double blessing for the village.
Especially since no one has blamed Mrs. Liu yet, why is she making such a fuss for no reason?
The person who came to report the news looked as if he was uncomfortable speaking.
But Wang Guangping, whose mood had just been ruined by Mrs. Liu, did not notice it. Instead, he urged, "Speak!"
The visitor was helpless and could only say: "Village Chief, Sister Liu was forced to jump by her parents-in-law..."
"What?" Wang Guangping couldn't believe his ears.
Speaking of the Liu family, they are actually not locals. I heard that their hometown is in the south and they are quite wealthy.
After Liu's parents passed away, he brought all his property and his wife and children to the capital to do business.
As a result, he lost everything in business. He used the last money he had to bribe the government officials, and then the family settled in Rongxi Village.
Liu's father didn't know how to farm and wasn't cut out for business, so the family was very tight on money at the beginning, and relied entirely on Liu's mother to pawn her jewelry and dowry to make ends meet.
It was not until later when the daughter was married to Wang Fugui that life at home gradually became better. At least they no longer had to worry about food, drink and daily necessities.
With the help of their daughter's betrothal gift, the old couple found a wife for their son.
Now that you have grandchildren, why would you force your daughter-in-law to jump into the river?
"Because, because the old couple of the Liu family said that Sister Liu was carried down from the mountain by Big Brother Ye and Old Fourth Ye. So many people in the village saw it..."
When the visitor said this, Wang Guangping had not yet reacted.
"Yes, everyone saw it, but no one blamed her, right? It wasn't like she deliberately provoked the blind bear..."
This time, Wang Guangping was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Village Chief, the old couple of the Liu family mean that Sister Liu was touched by another man and is no longer clean, so they want to die to preserve her reputation..."
"What?" Wan Guangping raised his voice, his face full of confusion. "Life was at stake, and the two brothers were trying to save others. How could they have thought of going to such a place? How could they have such a dirty heart?"
The surrounding villagers were also stunned by these words.
Everyone started talking at once.
"I didn't notice it before, but the old couple of the Liu family are quite conservative."
"I heard that in some places in the south, women are not allowed to leave the house. If they go out, they have to wear a veil, so that not even a strand of hair can be seen. Otherwise, they will have no choice but to marry that man and die."
"My goodness, what kind of logic is this? If I meet some lecher who deliberately tries to molest me, do I have to marry him?"
"Who says it isn't? Luckily, we are close to the imperial city and the people are civilized. Otherwise, we can't even go out casually, let alone talk to other men."
Some of the villagers' gossip was indeed true, while some was just gossip spread by word of mouth.
However, because the country has been peaceful and prosperous in recent years, the people's living standards are much better than in the previous dynasty. In addition, the maritime ban has been lifted and there are close exchanges with the West.
Therefore, compared with the previous dynasty, the Great Qi can be said to be a model of civilized customs.
Everyone was unable to understand what the Liu couple did.
Ye Lao Si asked hurriedly: "Has the person been rescued?"
"He was rescued. He choked on some water, but his life is not in danger."
As soon as he heard that the person had been rescued, Ye Laosi immediately felt relieved.
Just be alive.
Nothing is more important than being alive.
It would not be worth it to lose your life for such a small matter.
Unexpectedly, the man immediately said: "Village Chief, you'd better go and take a look!"
"The person has been rescued, why should I go and see him? Don't I see so many people waiting for me to share the bear meat?" When Wang Guangping heard that the person was not dead, he immediately didn't want to get involved in such family affairs.
The visitor said, “But after being rescued, Sister Liu has been a little emotionally broken.
"Boss Liu was silent beside him, and no one knew what he meant.
"The old couple from the Liu family kept making sarcastic remarks, as if they were trying to force Sister Liu to jump again."
"How ridiculous!" Wang Guangping was furious. "What on earth does the Liu family mean? Everyone, wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."
After Wang Guangping finished speaking, he strode towards the river.
Although he asked everyone to wait here, the villagers did not want to miss such excitement and followed Wan Guangping for most of the way.
Only the people from the old Ye family stayed in the threshing ground and had no place to move.
"Mom, do you think this will end up being our fault?"
"How can this be blamed? There are so many people in the village watching, and the eldest and fourth brothers are only holding one arm each.
"I originally wanted to save someone, but now, tell me..." Old Madam Ye sighed and said to her two sons, "What are you afraid of? As long as you two haven't done anything wrong, the Liu family can't confuse right and wrong, right?"
After recovering a bit, Boss Ye nodded and said, "Mom is right, Fourth Brother, don't overthink it. We in the Ye family always do things with a clear conscience."
"Okay." After being comforted by his mother and elder brother, Ye Laosi finally cheered up and nodded with a smile.
The villagers who were not watching the excitement also echoed the voice.
"That's right! If it weren't for you two brothers, Mrs. Liu would have been torn to pieces by the black bear by now."
