On New Year's Eve, every household in the village started preparing the New Year's Eve dinner after lunch. Lu Shiyi and Su Jin came back after breakfast to deliver New Year's goods, and many villagers who were idle at home came to join in the fun.
The old lady of the Liu family came out and heard Liu Kui's wife bullying Su Jin, and her heart instantly sank.
"High school graduate? The most useless people these days are scholars. The stinking ninth graders behind are all scholars!" The young wife of the Liu family said that there are many scholars imprisoned in the village's cowshed. The customs of the people in Liujia Village are not good. In addition, every household in Liujia Village favors boys over girls. "I see that the village still sends girls to school. They should stay at home to work. Anyway, the ones who get married off are married to other families."
"Aren't you a woman? Or do you want your daughter to be as ignorant as you?" Su Jin sneered at the other woman. The Liu family's old lady and three daughters-in-law had already emerged from the crowd. "As the saying goes, marry a virtuous woman, or you'll bring disaster to three generations. Besides, with such a troublemaker sister-in-law in the family, who would want a girl from a good family to marry the brothers?"
Liu Kui is the third grandson of the old lady of the Liu family and the eldest son of the third branch. Su Jin's counterattack hit the hearts of the three of them.
The Liu family has not yet split up, and the three branches all live with the old couple. Liu Kui has five younger brothers, all of whom are down-to-earth and capable.
When the matchmaker came to introduce Wei Xing, she only said that she was capable, without understanding her family's character.
"Xiao Hai is already 6 years old. When he was formally developing his sense of right and wrong, Aunt Liu San didn't keep a close eye on him and he was led astray by his young wife. It was the Liu family that suffered." Su Jin heard Lu Shiyi talk about the conflicts in every household in the village.
As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the village were talking about how Liu Hai had changed a lot after Wei Xing got married. He used to be a cheerful and warm boy, but now he has become extremely sensitive to his surroundings and even complains from time to time.
"Third Aunt, Xiaoyi's wife is right. Xiaohai has been bullied a lot since Wei Xing got engaged. I've seen it several times in the village." An old lady next to Liu Yun said, "Wei Xing often scares Xiaohai, saying that Liu Kui will only take care of her children and won't care about Xiaohai anymore."
After hearing this, the villagers looked at Wei Xing with even more hostility. Being a stepmother is very difficult, and there is no such two-faced stepmother in the village.
"Third Aunt, for the sake of family harmony, you have to withdraw. Which matchmaker introduced you? The village can't hire this person anymore." Everyone reminded Qin Xia. Liu Hai came over immediately after hearing his friends tell him that Wei Xing and Su Zhiqing had a quarrel.
"Grandma, Mom said that I will have to work as a farmhand for her brother in the future and won't be able to go to school." Liu Hai's eyes were red. "I really like studying. I can earn work points on my own. I just ask Grandma to let me go to school."
Su Jin looked at Liu Hai's expectant eyes and sighed that children without mothers have to grow up early.
"Don't worry, Xiaohai. With Daddy around, no one will dare bully you." Liu Kui had been busy hunting lately and was rarely home. After getting engaged, Wei Xing moved in with the Lius. "Mom, Wei Xing and I haven't gotten a marriage certificate yet, and we didn't get married last night. She also complained that the betrothal gift we gave to my parents was too little, so she refused to consummate the marriage with me."
When Liu Kui heard Wei Xing say last night that he would give the Wei family another 30 yuan when he returned home, he immediately moved the quilt and slept with his son.
"What?!" The villagers all knew that Liu Kui's wife died of complications during childbirth, and both her children were not saved, so he was thinking about finding another wife.
"The Wei family is asking for too much. We've already given 30 yuan, and you see Wei Xing hasn't even brought back a new piece of clothing." The villagers all had sharp eyes.
When Wei Xing heard Liu Kui deny it, she burst into tears: "I've been staying at your house for so many days. If I'm kicked out, I have to pay compensation."
"Captain, you heard me. He's coming here to eat and drink and still has to pay for it. My Xiaohai wasn't like this before." Liu Kui said guiltily, "If I could, I'd rather not get married."
"You're asking for compensation before the marriage has even been consummated. You're too greedy for money. Captain, go talk to the captain of the second brigade." The villagers looked at Lu Shiyuan and Lu Shiyi coming over. Su Jin only talked quietly with Wang Dahong and others. The villagers were busy watching the fun and no one paid attention to Su Jin's affairs anymore.
Lu Shiyi walked to Su Jin's side and she whispered the details to him.
"If you don't get a marriage certificate, the country won't recognize it, and you won't be held responsible if you separate." Lu Shiyi looked at Wei Xing coldly. Su Jin's words didn't stop him from stepping on her. "Besides, the Wei family is a marriage fraud. Liu Kui can report it to the police and even get the betrothal money back."
The villagers were instantly excited. Lu Shiyi had just returned from a big city, so what he said must be right.
Wei Xing jumped up and ran towards Lu Shiyi. Su Jin stood in front of Lu Shiyi and kicked Wei Xing down.
"Ayi is a soldier, he can only hide from you. How shameless of you to hug him in front of so many people." Su Jin directly turned Wei Xingchong's behavior into a hit-and-run. "You are a woman, and Ayi was touched by you. According to your previous behavior, I guess Ayi will have to marry you. Ayi and I got a marriage certificate, unlike you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers looked at Wei Xing with disdain. Several aunts had disliked Wei Xing for a long time. Liu Kui had gone into the mountains with the hunting team since the second day of his engagement, and only came down from the mountains yesterday to hold the wedding.
Wei Xing often acted frivolously towards the male educated youth in the village. Lin Teng specifically told the male educated youth to avoid Wei Xing.
"That's right. When Ateng was returning to the educated youth camp after work, she almost ran into him. She said she twisted her ankle and insisted that Ateng carry her back." After saying goodbye to Su Jin, Hu Xi reminded the men in front of everyone to stay away from her. "The male educated youth were afraid of being stuck to her, so they all avoided her."
The Liu family's sisters-in-law and Liu Kui were humiliated after hearing this, and Liu Kui glared at Wei Xing.
"Since you don't want to marry into the Wei family, you can leave early. You can eat and drink the most at home and do no work. Captain, please make the decision." Liu Kui must get a divorce today. "I want an explanation from both Weijia Village and the Wei family. Matchmaker Wei should know the details, but she introduced me to this person."
Several of the village women had arranged marriages for their children based on Wei the matchmaker's introduction, and they immediately looked at the team leader.
"Captain, the children of our three families were introduced by matchmaker Wei, and we want to cancel the engagement together!" Several families were afraid that similar problems would arise again, and one of the families had a daughter.
"I would rather cancel the engagement and let my daughter's reputation be damaged." One of the village women cried, and her two daughters-in-law beside her echoed her.
"Mom is right. My sister-in-law will stay at home all her life. My two brothers, sister-in-law and seven nephews can support her." The daughters-in-law expressed their opinions one after another.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is harmonious, and the sister-in-law is not a troublemaker, so there is a lot of interaction and the feelings are deep.
"Xiaoyi, go back and get your household registration done first, don't waste any more time." Lu Shiyi said he had to go back before 11 o'clock. Lu Shiyuan was going to cause trouble for the Second Brigade, not wanting to make things difficult for Lu Shiyi.
"Okay!" Lu Shiyi nodded, and the villagers followed the village chief to seek an explanation.
