In contrast, the Xiao family was much more comfortable. While people outside were still fetching water, they had already had dinner. If they used the two tanks of water economically, they could last for several days, and they could just fetch water every day from now on.
It's so hot in this weather, people have to wash themselves, otherwise their bodies will be sticky.
Men can take a handkerchief to the river, wet the handkerchief with the urine-rich water and wipe their bodies with it, but women must use this little water. Anyway, they just need to keep it in mind.
The search for water has to continue. Every day the village chief still takes people to various hills to look for mountain springs, otherwise the pond will dry up one day, so there must be a backup.
But a few days later, something big happened in the village, and Lanlan heard about it when she went out.
Now that the Xiao family is living a better and better life, the people in the village have become more polite to Lanlan and started to greet her on their own initiative. This was also what an aunt told her when she went out to the vegetable garden in the morning.
It was said that Jiang Qiaoqiao had an accident last night. She was bleeding a lot from her head and fainted in her own yard.
Chen Jinhua was so frightened that she called for help everywhere.
The two families next door couldn't stand her screaming anymore, so they went to take a look. Having experienced a lot, they understood something when they saw Jiang Qiaoqiao's condition. They called a barefoot doctor and found that she had indeed had a miscarriage.
This matter could not be covered up. Once it was discovered, it spread throughout the village early in the morning.
This was explosive news and gossip for the people in the village. It was said that Jiang Qiaoqiao, an unmarried girl, had a child and had a miscarriage. No one knew who the person she had an affair with was.
Such a woman is unfaithful and has an affair before getting married. If she were in a wealthy family, she would be thrown into a pig cage or burned at the stake.
She had fainted from heatstroke before, and her pants were stained red. She thought it was her menstrual period, but it turned out to be bleeding. She didn't take it seriously and didn't take good care of herself, so she miscarried a few days later.
When everyone heard about this, their three views were shattered. As people born in this era, they really could not understand Jiang Qiaoqiao's behavior of not respecting herself.
But Jiang Sui was fine. She had always known that Jiang Qiaoqiao and Zhang Xiucai had an affair, but she had never expected that the relationship had developed to this point.
She dared to guarantee that Zhang Xiucai would never admit to this matter. Jiang Qiaoqiao would suffer in the future. This would probably be how her life would be.
In fact, if she had found someone to marry, she might have been lucky enough to live a stable life. However, the other person had high ambitions and she didn't know how to judge people.
Xiao's mother sighed over this. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. The old man did not know how to behave and educate people, so he raised such a shameless daughter. Now, I'm afraid that Lao Jiang's coffin will not be able to cover it.
It is said that when Jiang Sui's adoptive father was alive, he was a good person, but unfortunately he died young, which allowed Chen Jinhua to raise her daughter astray.
Jiang Qiaoqiao had no idea that she was pregnant. When she woke up, she only saw her mother's murderous eyes.
Chen Jinhua was really disappointed with her. Despite her numerous warnings, she still failed to prevent the girl from having an affair with someone without any matchmaking.
Now, the most important thing for a woman is her innocence. Not to mention wanting to be the wife of a scholar or a juren, even being a concubine may not be looked down upon by anyone. This child is a waste of money.
"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Qiaoqiao was very frightened by her eyes.
"What's wrong? You don't know what you did with that scholar Zhang? Did you know that you had a miscarriage? What did I tell you? I told you to keep your innocence, but you refused to listen. Now your greatest asset is gone. You won't even be qualified to be someone's concubine in the future. Do you still want to be an official's wife? Dream on. Now we don't have to live in Xianhe Village anymore. We will be stabbed in the back to death. Look at what you have done. If I had known you would do this, I might as well have placed my hope on that little bitch Jiang Sui!"
Chen Jinhua was also very angry and said only angry words, and Jiang Qiaoqiao was also scared silly. She touched her belly blankly. She had thought that she would be fine after having her period, but it turned out that she was pregnant and had a miscarriage. That was Zhang Lang's child.
If the child was still there, he might still recognize him, but the problem is, now that the child is gone, what can she say? But she doesn't believe in evil.
"Mom, go find Zhang Lang and tell him that he has promised to marry me. I am like this because of him. He will not ignore me!" Jiang Qiaoqiao still looked at Chen Jinhua with hope.
Chen Jinhua actually knew in her heart that the child was gone and Mr. Zhang might not recognize the child, but this was the only way.
So, the next day Chen Jinhua went to the next village to look for Mr. Zhang, but the door of his house was closed.
Zhang Xiucai's parents are both dead, and he lives alone. He is not at home now. Chen Jinhua went to ask around and found out that he had secretly gone to marry Mr. Liang in the town and married his eldest daughter.
No wonder Jiang Qiaoqiao was not at home when she came to look for him earlier, it turned out that he had already found a new love.
It is said that the eldest daughter of the Liang family was attracted by his status as a scholar and his handsome appearance. Mr. Liang said that as long as he was willing to marry into the family, his family would be willing to provide him with money to support him in his studies in the future.
Zhang Xiucai was tempted by the conditions, and thinking about the good food and drink in the mansion, and that Miss Liang was also pretty, he immediately abandoned Jiang Qiaoqiao and became a son-in-law. They have been married for several days now.
Chen Jinhua and her daughter's efforts were in vain. That day, she took her daughter, who had just had a miscarriage, to Mr. Liang's mansion to make a scene.
Mr. Liang had a small fortune and hired two bodyguards. When Chen Jinhua went to make a fuss, Mr. Zhang denied his relationship with Jiang Qiaoqiao and said he didn't know her at all.
He was very good at coaxing girls. After just a few days, the girl was completely obedient to him and believed whatever he said. The girl was very aggressive and asked the guards to drive them out. She also threatened that if they made trouble again, she would really beat them up and make it impossible for the mother and daughter to survive in Baima Town.
Chen Jinhua was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. After being threatened by Miss Liang, she really didn't dare to make trouble. She also didn't dare to report this matter to the head of the village. This was a matter of mutual consent, and Jiang Qiaoqiao had already lost her innocence. If they made a big fuss, they would really become the target of public criticism in Baima Town.
Of course, their bad news is yet to come.
The villagers of Xianhe Village found the old village chief and asked him to drive the mother and daughter out of Xianhe Village, saying that there were still so many unmarried girls in the village. Now the shameless things done by Jiang Qiaoqiao have spread to other villages. When people hear about the girls from Xianhe Village, they will say that the girls in their village are not decent. Who would be willing to marry them?
So, just after Chen Jinhua and her daughter returned from their setback with Mr. Liang, they received the bad news that they were going to be kicked out of Xianhe Village!
