Chapter 113 A thought of hell
When Xiao Nuobao heard this, she knew that something must have happened in Mrs. Liu's family, and it was related to her daughter.
She scratched her little hair in confusion: "Grandma Liu, what happened? Get up first and tell me slowly."
At this time, Mrs. Feng and Doctor Wu also came in after hearing the sound.
Mrs. Feng hurriedly helped Mrs. Liu up and comforted her: "Auntie, don't cry in a hurry. What happened to Jujiao? Tell us, maybe we can help."
Mrs. Liu wiped her eyes, then staggered up and sat on a bench beside her.
Her daughter was named Jujiao, who just turned 17 this year and was a good age to get married.
But it was because of Jujiao's marriage that Liu Pozi cried so hard these two days that the whole family could hardly eat.
"I don't know what sin my silly daughter has committed." Liu Pozi sobbed for a while and found it difficult to speak.
She said, "Originally, I had arranged a marriage for her. I wanted her to marry her cousin in the autumn of this year, but she suddenly said that she had fallen in love with another man. That man was old enough to be her father, but she insisted on being his second wife and forced me to marry her off next month..."
After saying that, Liu Pozi covered her face and cried heartbrokenly.
She shouldn't have told others about such a shameful family affair, but she really couldn't stop her daughter. There was nothing she could do.
Xiao Nuobao sat in Doctor Wu's arms, holding his chin, frowning as he listened.
"What does your Juhua like about that man? For his money, or because he's old and doesn't take a bath?" Doctor Wu asked in confusion.
Xiao Nuobao corrected in a low voice: "It's Jujiao, not like a chrysanthemum."
"Yes, Jujiao." Doctor Wu quickly said it again.
Mrs. Liu felt sad: "How could that man have any money? I heard that he is a scholar, who has been studying from the age of ten to now forty-two. He didn't pass the imperial examination and was given leisure at home. But my daughter said that he is talented and that writing poems is better than making money."
When Mrs. Feng and Doctor Wu heard this, they were speechless. What
kind of scholar is this? He is just an idler who eats free meals at home under the guise of studying.
Moreover, a man in his forties is looking for a girl of sixteen or seventeen?
Although it is said that since ancient times, husbands are mostly older than their wives.
But for such a big difference in generations, it is usually only when the woman's family is too poor and needs to rely on the man that she would wrong herself like this.
A lazy man who doesn't even have a job, just think about it...
The more Mrs. Liu thought about it, the more distressed she felt. Tears flowed to her mouth and she cried, "If others knew that I married my daughter to a man who is almost 30 years older than her, they would definitely think that I was selling my daughter like that dirty plaything of Aunt Li!"
At this time, Aunt Li had just finished picking grass on the mountain and was hunched back home.
Passing by the gate of Fushan Hall, she couldn't help but feel choked up and her face turned blue with anger.
Feng was also a mother, so of course she could empathize.
She couldn't help but frown and curse: "That man is really a piece of shit. He's old, but he still wants to marry a young girl. You have to persuade Jujiao to do this!"
Mrs. Liu touched her swollen eyes and sighed: "As a mother, I'm an experienced person. How can I not see the man's tricks? But Jujiao is young and inexperienced. She has to give up her cousin who is affectionate and knows her well. She always wants her old man who can write poems."
Xiao Nuobao narrowed her eyes and suddenly saw some clues. She was about to remind Mrs. Liu, but at this time, the villagers shouted loudly.
"Mrs. Liu, go home and take a look."
"Your daughter is playing with fire at home and set the haystack on fire. She said she doesn't want to live anymore!"
What?
When everyone heard it, they rushed out of the door in a hurry.
Doctor Wu got up too quickly and nearly threw Nuobao out of his arms. Little Nuobao flailed in the air, and she was so scared that she quickly grabbed Doctor Wu's beard to keep her balance.
"My daughter..." At this time, Mrs. Liu was so scared that she could hardly breathe.
Mrs. Feng stopped her first and called Fengnian and Fenghu to help put out the fire.
Most of the houses in the village were low. Standing at the gate of Fushan Hall, little Nuobao could look over three or four rows of houses and see black smoke and flames rising to the sky from Mrs. Liu's house in the distance.
Little Nuobao's palms tightened.
Oh no, I can see it from here, so the fire must be big!
She was afraid that Mrs. Liu and her daughter would be burned, so she quickly called the two ghosts to help.
When Doctor Wu held Xiao Nuobao and Mrs. Feng supported Mrs. Liu, they hurried to Liu's house, the two ghosts had kicked the dusty Ju Jiao out of the house.
The Liu family's yard was burnt beyond recognition, and the fire even spread to the house, burning the window paper, door and window frames.
After the villagers put out the fire, Mrs. Liu cried and hugged Jujiao: "Silly girl, what are you doing? If something happens to you, it will cost your mother's life."
Jujiao's face was black and gray, and she was coughing because of the spitting. A corner of her hair and skirt was burned off.
If the two ghosts hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that even if she could save her life, she would most likely be burned.
Jujiao was obviously scared. She
sat on the ground for a long time without coming back to her senses.
Feng and others thought that Jujiao should feel a little guilty for causing a big disaster.
But she never expected that after Ju Jiao recovered, she pushed Mrs. Liu away and said, "Mom, are you satisfied now? I almost burned myself to death, it's all because you didn't agree with me and Brother Yun Hai being together!"
Everyone: "..."
Ju Jiao was full of resentment, crying and shouting, "Even if you put out the fire today, as long as I can't marry Yun Hai, I can jump into the well or hit the wall tomorrow! At worst, I will stay with Brother Yun Hai for the rest of my life."
Xiao Nuo Bao almost drooled.
She wanted to commit suicide and start over, but she still wanted to be with her old lover. The love brain is really terrible.
"Nonsense!" At this time, the village chief was furious when he heard the voice. He rushed over to give Jujiao a big slap: "Your mother has been accustomed to you since you were a child, and raised you more respectably than any other girl in the village. Now you are willing to die for a man. Do you have a heart?"
Everyone frowned.
Although Liu Pozi had a son, she only had one daughter. Compared with the girls of the same age in the village, Jujiao could be said to be raised by a spoiled child.
From childhood to adulthood, Liu Pozi never let her work in the fields.
Five years ago, she even sold ten acres of land in the family and used her connections to send her to the city to work as a maid in the study of a young lady from a wealthy family.
She had hoped that Jujiao could learn to read and see the world, so that after marrying her cousin in the future, she could help manage the business of her husband's shop and have some skills.
Who would have thought that after Jujiao had fulfilled her maid contract, before returning to the village, she met an old man named Zhang Yunhai in the city and insisted on breaking the engagement and marrying him. Seeing that
Jujiao was still stubborn and refused to admit her mistake, the village chief was so angry that he wanted to slap her.
At this time, Xiao Nuobao looked at the breath above Jujiao's head and nodded as expected.
"Grandpa Village Chief, don't be violent~"
"Her fortune has changed, that's why she is so extreme." Xiao Nuobao pointed at the unstable breath: "A change of fortune can change a person, sometimes even a thought can send her to hell. Only she can correct her thoughts. Otherwise, if you just use force, it will only lead her to a dead end!"
