Jiang Weiwei asked, "didn't anyone report to the official?"
"Hu Kui's family has more than a dozen brothers, all of whom are tall and strong. They fight fiercely. Everyone is afraid of being retaliated by his family, so no one dares to report to the official. The widow Xu was married from another village. She has no relatives in her village. No one is willing to help her out at the risk of retaliation. "
Jiang Wei was surprised: "those ten are his brothers?"
It is common for people who lack food and clothing these days to die young. Few families can raise more than a dozen sons smoothly, unless they are particularly rich, but according to Feng Hu's tone, the Hu family should not be like a rich family.
Feng Hu said truthfully, "some are close brothers and some are cousins. They are both short-sighted and arrogant. They are very difficult to provoke."
Jiang Wei suddenly said, "so it is. Go on."
Feng Hu said a lot again and again.
Through his narration, Jiang Weiwei found that Hu Kui was not only arrogant and shameless, but also very insidious. He picked on the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Even if they were bullied, they couldn't get justice back, so they had to bear it.
Typical bullying!
Jiang asked coldly, "did you just say that your cousin was bullied by Hu Kui?"
Feng Hu's face changed slightly.
He shut up and lowered his head.
Seeing this, Jiang said, "if you don't want to say it, I'll just ask."
Feng Hu said dejectedly, "not long ago, the court recruited civilian husbands, and the county officials took my cousin away. Only my cousin and her mother-in-law with inconvenient legs are left in the family. Although life is difficult, they can live on. But the bastard Hu Kui was drunk in the middle of the night and ran to knock on my cousin's door. My cousin didn't dare to open the door and hid at home with her mother-in-law. At that time, there was a lot of noise knocking at the door. Both the left and right neighbors heard it, but no one came out to help them. Hu Kui couldn't enter the door, so he cursed outside the door and said many ugly words, which made my cousin cry angrily. "
"This matter has been spread. Many people say that my cousin is indiscreet. While her husband is not at home, he colludes with a man in the middle of the night. Hu Kui is not ashamed but proud to hear these rumors. He also preaches everywhere that he and my cousin have... I won't tell you the details. Anyway, he speaks very hard. My cousin's reputation was completely ruined by him. The whole person was in a trance. I went to see her. She told me these words. I wanted to help her out and teach Hu Kui a lesson so that he wouldn't talk nonsense in the future, but my cousin stopped me. She told me to leave these things alone and drove him back. "
"I went home and told my uncle and aunt about it. My uncle and aunt are honest people and dare not provoke local ruffians like Hu Kui. Under my persuasion, my uncle and aunt finally agreed to let my cousin take her mother-in-law back to her mother's house for a period of time. It should be better to avoid the wind. But it was still a little late. When we went to pick up our cousin in Pingshun village, we learned that she was dead. According to the villagers, she was washing clothes by the river. She slipped into the river because she was in a trance. When everyone pulled her up, she was out of breath. "
Feng Hu rubbed his face hard when he said this. His eyes were red and his voice became extremely hoarse.
"I specially asked the villagers who saved my cousin. Those people said that after she fell into the water, she didn't struggle at all. It's like... It's like trying to die."
"What a fool she is! Why can't she wait any longer? When we take her back to her mother's house, nothing will happen! "
The more he said, the more sad he was. Tears came out of the corners of his eyes, and then he wiped them off with his sleeve.
Jiang Weiwei is not very good at comforting people. He can only keep quiet and wait for him to recover slowly.
She asked so many questions about Hu Kui because she always remembered the look in Hu Kui's eyes at Yunshan village and others when he was carried away. That look was full of resentment. Combined with Hu Kui's bad deeds in the past, the possibility of this person's retaliation was as high as 99%!
Jiang Weiwei is used to inertia and takes the initiative, and now is no exception.
She has to be prepared in advance.
Back to the health hall, Jiang Weiwei called song Hao to the backyard.
Jiang Wei asked, "do you know Hu Kui?"
Song Hao said carelessly, "yes, that boy used to want to hang out with me. I don't think he works too dirty. I don't like him and won't take him to play. He hated me for this, spread rumors and slandered me everywhere, and was severely beaten by me and my brothers in sacks. Since then, he has been honest and didn't dare to provoke me again. "
Jiang slightly frowned: "so, have you had a holiday with Hu Kui?"
"I haven't paid attention to the boy Hu Kui, but the boy should hate me." At this point, he touched his chin and looked very proud.
He then asked, "why did you suddenly ask Hu Kui? Isn't it the boy who provoked you without eyes? You tell me, I'll teach him a lesson! "
Jiang Weiwei waved his hand: "no, Hu Kui didn't annoy me. He had a fight with the villagers who built the road today. I don't think he will give up and probably find a chance to revenge. I originally wanted you to do something for me, but since Hu Kui has a holiday with you, I have to find someone else. "
Song Hao hurriedly said, "no, you can tell me what you want. Even if it's inconvenient for me to do it, I still have many brothers I know. They can do it for me."
"In fact, the matter is very simple. You just have to find a way to win Hu Kui's trust and inquire why they suddenly want to help our village build roads in a year? If you don't have anything to do, you can be either a traitor or a thief. There must be something fishy in it. By the way, help me monitor Hu Kui's movements and see what he's going to do next? If he wants to take revenge on our village, come and tell me quickly so that I can prepare in advance. "
Song Hao patted his chest and promised: "this thing is wrapped in me. It will be done properly for you!"
Jiang Weiwei took out a silver note: "you must use money to ask someone for help. I have it here..."
Song haofei quickly retreated: "there are more than 20 liang of silver you gave me last time. That money is enough. Take back the money quickly!"
Then he ran away.
Jiang Weiwei had to take back the silver ticket. She went back to the house and locked the land deed and house deed of the house she bought today in the cabinet.
During dinner, Jiang Weiwei told Liu Yun about going to the village head's house for dinner tomorrow and asked her to prepare in advance.
There are so many people in the health hall that Jiang Weiwei can't take everyone to the village head's house for dinner. She decides to take only Liu Yun there, and everyone else stays in the health hall. Everyone has no objection to this, and everything is subject to the arrangement of the leaders.
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their room to wash and sleep.
