Chapter 81 The Miserable Song Xiu
Song Jin went out before dawn.
It was already past noon when we returned from the county town.
As soon as I stepped into the Qin family's courtyard, I realized something was wrong.
In the middle of the yard, a person was basking in the sun.
Song Xiu had her eyes closed and her head drooped. She was tied to a chair in a messy state. Her hair was a mess like a chicken coop, and her clothes were a shambles. There was something sticky on the front of her clothes. One could smell a pungent fishy odor without getting close.
It smells like blood and also like urine.
Anyway, Song Xiu looked extremely miserable at this moment.
It's tragic yet somewhat funny.
Because there was a yellow talisman stuck on Song Xiu's forehead. Sticky rice and paper money were scattered around the chair, and there was some dried black blood on the ground.
Little Liu sat slumped under the eaves, sweating profusely.
Qin Daya is there to help.
None of the others are here.
When Xiao Liu saw Song Jin coming back, she looked behind her and asked Daya to close the gate first. "Is Dalang's wife back? It's unlucky here. You should go back to your room first."
"Second Aunt, what happened?"
Song Jin couldn't help but ask.
"Ask Daya."
Xiao Liu urged Song Jin to go back to her room first, saying that she was pregnant. "Daya, take your sister-in-law back to the room quickly, so as not to disturb the unborn child."
"Okay, mom."
Qin Daya hurried over and wanted to help Song Jin back to the house.
Song Jin thought about it and decided to follow Xiao Liu's wishes and walked into the house.
When passing by the main house.
From the inner room, I heard old Mrs. Liu crying out in pain, as well as someone cursing Mrs. Lin.
Lin could only respond submissively.
"I said, mother, you've scolded me enough! Is it wrong for my wife to serve you? Do you want to ask Xiao Song to apply medicine for you?"
Suddenly, Qin Laosan's angry voice was heard in the house.
"Old Three, what do you mean?"
Then came Old Liu's sharp curses.
Then, Qin Laoda said, "Dad, why don't you say a few words? If you continue to make trouble like this, our family will fall apart."
"That's right! Third brother's wife made a mistake in serving mother. It wasn't her who hurt mother." Qin Laoer's dissatisfied voice was also heard.
Old Man Qin couldn't play dumb, and then he angrily scolded Old Liu: "Behave yourself, you made a mistake in serving me, an old woman. No one will serve you anymore. Go back to Old Liu's house!"
"Damn old man..."
Old Mrs. Liu finally calmed down.
Outside the house, Song Jin and Qin Daya subconsciously walked a few steps slower and heard everything that happened inside the house.
Qin Daya even winked at Song Jin.
Song Jin walked towards his room, and did not forget to ask in a low voice: "Daya knows what happened?"
"I know, I know. I know everything!"
Qin Daya has a mother named Xiao Liu, so she is very interested in gossip. She started chatting with Song Jin with great excitement.
Soon Song Jin figured out the general situation.
Song Jin went out too early today.
When I went out, it was still dark, let alone the sun coming out.
Wait for the sun to shine into the yard.
Old Mrs. Liu asked Song Xiu to come out into the sun.
He dipped the yellow talisman for warding off evil spirits that he had bought last night in his own saliva, and suddenly stuck it on Song Xiu's forehead, muttering something.
Unexpectedly, Song Xiu was so frightened that she subconsciously pushed Old Liu to the ground, causing her to sprain her waist.
This is really a revelation!
The daughter-in-law hurt her mother-in-law.
Based on this alone, the Qin family can divorce Song Xiu.
But fortunately, everyone thought that Song Xiu was possessed by evil spirits, so it was not Song Xiu who hurt Old Mrs. Liu, but the evil spirit that everyone thought it was.
It made a lot of noise for most of the day.
Xiao Liu and others tied up Song Xiu.
He pasted a ghost-drawn talisman on Song Xiu's forehead and forced her to drink a large bowl of talisman water.
Song Xiu struggled hard.
In the eyes of the Qin family, the evil spirit has not yet gone away.
I don't know who came up with the bad idea that black dog blood and boy's urine would work.
When Old Mrs. Liu heard this, she believed it again. She held her waist and cried out in pain, while not forgetting to instruct Young Mrs. Liu to bring Silang over.
Black dog blood is hard to find.
There is plenty of boy urine!
Silang urinated on Song Xiu on the spot.
Or the kind that spreads all over the head and face.
Song Xiu was so angry that her face became even more ferocious.
This scared old Mrs. Liu, and she quickly urged the men in the family to ask the old blind man to come and calm the situation.
The Qin brothers had no choice but to invite them, but old Liu used filial piety to persuade them, insisting that the evil spirit was too powerful and could not be subdued by talismans and boy's urine alone.
The old blind man took the time to prepare the black dog blood because he had a black dog at home.
With the help of Brother Qin, he took a bowl of dog blood, and brought a yellow talisman, a peach wood sword, a bronze mirror, glutinous rice, and so on.
Carrying all the tools to ward off evil spirits, the old blind man came to Lao Qin's house.
Noon is the time of the day when Yang energy is at its peak, and it is the perfect time to get rid of evil spirits.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Of course, this was said by the old blind man.
Don't ask why a blind man can draw talismans and exorcise ghosts without any obstacles. He is just that capable. In fact, this trick can only fool some ignorant village women.
Song Xiu was so angry that she almost fainted.
The old blind man said that the evil spirit had gone away! Let Song Xiu bask in the sun first to remove the remaining evil spirit on her body, otherwise if the evil spirit is not completely removed, she might be infected again later.
After getting the silver, the old blind man left contentedly.
When Song Jin came back, he saw the ending.
The adult men in the family wanted to avoid suspicion and could not stay with Song Xiu, so they could only stay in the main room, leaving Xiao Liu and Qin Daya to watch by the side.
Old Liu sprained her waist.
Boss Qin has already gone to his third uncle's place to buy some medicinal wine for treating bruises and injuries.
This is what Song Jin and Qin Daya heard just now.
It was Lin who was helping Old Liu apply the medicinal wine.
According to my third uncle's instructions, I should rub the injured area back and forth vigorously until it becomes warm. This will allow the medicine to work and heal faster.
There was no effect if I didn't rub hard, and if I rubbed hard, Mrs. Liu would start to cry out in pain again.
So, old Mrs. Liu took her anger out on others and cursed them, saying that Mrs. Lin was deliberately taking revenge on her.
"Third Aunt is so pitiful."
Qin Daya sighed, "She obviously did nothing wrong, but grandma still scolded her."
"This is the difficulty of being a wife. Daya, remember this in the future. When you encounter such things, you can tolerate them but you can't just endure them blindly. If you can't confront them head-on, find someone who can subdue them and try to protect yourself."
"Just like how Uncle asked Grandpa to speak just now?"
Qin Daya's eyes sparkled, "The only one in this family who can control Grandma is Grandpa."
"good."
Song Jin said this with appreciation.
Wait for Qin Daya to go out happily.
The smile on Song Jin's face finally faded.
The woman living at the bottom of the Qin family is Lin.
As a daughter-in-law, Lin could only bear it.
Lin does not have the confidence of little Liu, nor does she have the support of old man Qin like the Song sisters. She is a typical girl raised in a poor family and is used to being bullied.
I do whatever my mother-in-law tells me to do.
He dared not resist even when being beaten or scolded.
If it weren't for Qin Lao San's protection over the years, life would have been much more difficult for him to make a living under Old Liu.
Especially when she was a girl, she suffered from hunger and hard work for a long time, which caused her to develop many health problems. After she got married, she raised Erya for several years before she had her second child.
At present, without a son, Lin feels even less confident and usually buries herself in work at the Qin family.
If Old Mrs. Liu tells others that Mrs. Lin is disrespectful to her parents-in-law and uses this as an excuse to divorce her, no one will support Mrs. Lin except Qin Lao San.
The first of the seven grounds for divorce is that a woman who is unfilial to her parents can be divorced without being criticized.
With Lin's cowardly character.
I am lucky to be able to marry Qin Lao San.
In his previous life, Song Jin knew that the three brothers of the Qin family might not be as good as Qin Mingsong, nor as capable as Qin Mingsong. They could only do physical work to support their wives and children, but they were rare men who knew how to protect their wives.
All we can say is that Song Jin had bad luck in his previous life.
She met the only bad one among the four brothers.
In her second life, she married Qin Chi.
Even though the two of them had no feelings for each other, Qin Chi would still stand on her side when something happened, and he blocked Old Liu's difficulties many times.
Thinking of this, Song Jin couldn't help but think of Qin Chi again.
Although Shopkeeper Tao said that Qin Chi had gone to Huangshan for a trip and would not be back for a while, Song Jin could not be completely relieved until he had seen Qin Chi in person for a day.
