While Mrs. Li was talking, she didn't stop moving her hands. She ran towards Zhao Xiaocao with a kitchen knife in her hand.
Zhao Xiaocao was horrified. She didn't dare to confront Mrs. Li who was holding a kitchen knife, and neither did Mrs. Qin.
Two women, one old and one young, with evil intentions were chased out of the yard by Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li's leg injury still had some impact. She couldn't run fast enough to catch up with the others, and she was so angry that she cursed at them from behind.
"It's hard enough for Xiao Nian to survive the famine, and you want to eat her alive.
Granny Qin, you are a beast, and your whole family are beasts."
Mrs. Li's shouting and cursing could be heard from far away.
There were also people cursing in the courtyard. After Qin Duo was knocked down, Qin Kai rushed over and pointed at Qin Nian and cursed:
"You are my sister, this is the first time we met, and I didn't want to be rough with you.
But you are a person who doesn't know what's good for you. You scolded your sister-in-law, beat your brother, and even beat your parents. Are you going to make trouble?"
Qin Nian was so angry that he laughed: "Oh, you are quite good at quibbling, and your words are so high-sounding.
Since you don't look like a fool, I might as well say a few words to you. You should be filial, be friendly to your brothers, and be dedicated.
The brothels in the county town also want men. You are fifteen today, right? Not too big or too small, just the right age.
In order to honor your grandmother, your parents, your elder brother and his wife, you should sell yourself.
Don't hide behind high-sounding excuses and wait to use the money from selling me to buy rice.
Your grandma, your father, and your mother are all scumbags, that's all. You and your older brother are still young, why don't you work hard to support your family?
Even if you sell me, how many meals can you afford with that little money? You are a family of losers and idiots."
Qin Nian became more and more angry as he spoke, and he used the oak in his hand to hit Qin Duo's other ankle, who was sitting on the ground, hard:
"If you want to sell people for a living, why don't you sell Zhao Xiaocao? Her life is a life, but mine is not a life?"
Qin Duo howled in pain and shouted to Qin Kai: "Second brother, beat this bitch and slap her hard a few times."
Qin Kai no longer hesitated and raised his hand to slap Qin Nian.
His hands were grabbed from behind and he was pulled back with great force. Qin Kai cried out in pain: "Ouch!"
He squatted down involuntarily and turned his arm over. He held his wrist with his other hand in pain and looked up.
I met a pair of dark eyes filled with anger.
"Who are you? Why did you hit me?"
"I'm Geng Feng. I'm going to beat you up for bullying Xiao Nian so many times. This time is a light punishment, but if you dare to bully me again next time, I'll use a fork to pin you to the wall.
If you can't afford to live, just die, don't embarrass yourself."
After saying this, he picked up Qin Kai, turned around, walked a few steps, and threw him out over the low wall.
He came back, picked up Qin Duo, and threw him out as well.
Coming down the mountain, Geng Feng walked behind Qin Nian. When Qin Nian entered the yard and started arguing with Qin Duo, the wife of Qin's wife, Geng Feng stood still in his yard.
Seeing that Qin Kai was about to attack Qin Nian, Geng Feng couldn't help it, jumped over and threw Qin Kai out.
Ye Meizi and Geng Zhenhai heard the noise and came out, quickly grabbing Li Pozi.
Mrs. Li was panting. She looked at Mrs. Qin who was also panting and pointed with a kitchen knife:
"You old bastard, if you dare to come here again next time, I will chop you into pieces even if I have to sacrifice my life.
Chop up both your grass and those two seedlings.
I can’t afford to live anyway, so I might as well just die.”
Seeing that Qin Duo and Qin Kai were both beaten out, Mrs. Qin no longer dared to be arrogant.
He gave a wink to Zhao Xiaocao and Qin Kai, and the two of them went over to pull up Qin Duo. Qin Kai carried him on his back, leaving behind a disheveled back.
Qin Nian was so angry, but in ancient times it was legal for parents to sell their children, and the government allowed it.
If you want to avoid being sold out, you have to find a way to defeat them.
After entering the house, Mrs. Li put down the kitchen knife and said, "Xiao Nian, let's eat."
She was still a little upset and kept cursing while eating.
Qin Nian said: "Grandma, this is a cannibalistic society, if they come, we will fight them off.
There is no other way.”
Mrs. Li knew it, but she just couldn't swallow it. She sighed:
"You are old enough now. Find a good family to marry into and make Granny Qin and the others give up completely."
Qin Nian laughed: "Grandma, don't think about finding a good family. We can't rely on others to solve the problem.
Believe me, I will be able to solve this problem."
Mrs. Li didn't know that Qin Nian was even ruthless in his heart and wanted to get rid of Mrs. Qin.
Even if not all of them are killed, the most hateful ones should be killed to serve as a warning to others.
Mrs. Li was delighted again: "I will sharpen the kitchen knife tomorrow. I still don't believe that I can be bullied by them.
At worst, we can fight to the death, but you can’t. Grandma is old, and she will fight to the death with them.”
At the same time, the three members of the Geng family, who were separated by a wall, were also eating and talking about the Qin family coming to arrest people.
Ye Meizi looked at Geng Feng:
"During this period, you and Xiao Nian went up the mountain to farm, so you got to know her well.
Do you like Xiao Nian? If you do, I will ask someone to act as a matchmaker for her."
Geng Feng blushed, but his dark eyes were filled with excitement and joy. He looked at Ye Meizi,
"Mom, Xiao Nian is a good girl. I like her."
Ye Meizi looked at Geng Zhenhai: "What do you think?"
Geng Zhenhai was also very happy: "Xiao Nian is filial, has medical skills, is capable and good-looking.
It is an honor for our Geng family that Geng Fengzhen married her."
Ye Meizi smiled and said, "If you have no objection, Geng Feng also likes Xiao Nian, then I will ask someone to act as a matchmaker tomorrow.
We have twenty-two taels of silver, which is enough for the betrothal gift."
Geng Zhenhai pondered for a moment:
"Geng Feng, you and Xiao Nian are farming together, do you think she likes you?
Once she refuses, we will feel uncomfortable working together in the future."
Geng Feng nodded: "I can't tell whether Xiao Nian likes me or not. But I know that she doesn't hate me."
Ye Meizi is more optimistic than Geng Zhenhai: "Geng Feng is capable, and he is tall and good-looking.
I'm not bragging as a mother, but looking around the surrounding villages, I really haven't found any young man better than Geng Feng."
When she boasted, the whole family laughed.
After lunch, Ye Meizi said to Geng Zhenhai and Geng Feng, "I'm going to look for Wu Kuaitui now."
Wu Kuaitui's real name is Wu Lian. She is in her teens and is the only matchmaker in Dawa Village.
He got this nickname because of his impatient temper and quick legs.
Geng Zhenhai laughed: "You are more impatient than Wu Kuaitui."
"Geng Feng is already 19 years old. How can I not be anxious? When he gets married, I will be the mother-in-law, waiting to hold my grandson."
Ye Meizi came out of the house, looked over the low wall, and saw Mrs. Li sitting under the window.
Ye Meizi greeted him with a smile, "Auntie Li, it's almost June, don't you find the sun too harsh?"
Mrs. Li shook her head. "Just wait for a while and then go inside. You said I'm not afraid of the sun, but what are you going to do in the middle of the day?"
