Chapter 53: Or a fake hanging
Xiaojiu: So you can gain experience from eavesdropping?
Xiaojiu was carried on Tietou's back, and the few of them followed the ravine behind the house to the back of another house.
Jin Bao Yin Bao said: "Huo family, do you want to listen?"
Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu shook their heads like rattles, "No, no, I absolutely won't listen!"
Xigou said to Xiaowen and Xiaowu, "We'll stay and listen. You take Xiaojiu to the reservoir first and we'll come find you after we finish listening."
Listening to Huo's Corner is their daily routine.
"Xiaojiu, listen!"
The little ball crawled down from the iron head's back, squatted obediently in the corner, and pricked up its little ears.
She really wanted to hear about the Huo family's affairs!
It must sound much better than that Shuihe corner.
The followers hesitantly followed suit and squatted down.
Hey! Xiaojiu probably doesn’t like to hear about the Huo family’s secret affairs.
…
Recently, the Ye family has been buying residential land and building houses, which has attracted a lot of attention in the village. The Huo family feels very uncomfortable.
This morning, Old Mrs. Huo went for a walk in the fields. When she came back, she was so angry that she lay on the bed and groaned.
"Oh, I'm so angry! All the rice in the village is bent down by the weight, but there are only a few grains left in ours. That damn little evildoer is deliberately trying to piss me off to death!"
Hearing their boss being scolded, the little followers were very angry, "Let's go, that stinky old woman can't speak human language, there's nothing nice to hear!"
Everyone stood up to leave, but Xiaojiu squatted firmly, "I want to listen!"
She just wanted to know how hypocritical this damn old woman could be!
"Mom, don't be angry! We can't win in scolding, and we can't win in beating. What else can we do?" The speaker was Yao.
"You're here to piss me off too!" Old Lady Huo cursed. "Useless little whore, you only serve to destroy your own ambition and enhance the prestige of others. Get out!"
Yao went out without saying a word.
"Oh, how can I swallow this!" Old Mrs. Huo groaned, "She was clearly born into the Huo family, but the Ye family took advantage of her. I can't close my eyes even if I die."
"Mom, I have an idea." The speaker was Huo Zhongnian.
Mrs. Huo's voice suddenly became more energetic. "My son, I have been waiting for you to say this for a long time!"
"Mom, go find a hemp rope."
"Looking for a hemp rope? What do you want mother to do?" Old Mrs. Huo asked in surprise.
"Find a hemp rope and hang yourself..."
Before Huo Zhongnian could finish his words, there was a "bang" sound, and it was the sound of a bowl breaking.
Old Mrs. Huo sobbed, "Zhongnian, you actually want Mom to hang herself? You want Mom to die? Are you blaming me for selling Daya? But I clearly discussed this with you that day, and you agreed!"
"Mother misunderstood!" Huo Zhongnian said, "He didn't really hang himself, he was pretending to hang himself."
"Pretending to hang yourself? Why?" The more Mrs. Huo listened, the more confused she became.
"Of course, it's to threaten the Ye family and take Daya back."
A group of dolls: !!!
Oh my god! I've been squatting in the corner for so long, and today I finally found some valuable content!
But according to the Huo family's conspiracy, isn't Xiaojiu in danger?
Jinbao reacted quickly and rushed out, "I'll go call more people!"
The other children were startled and ran away too.
Old Mrs. Huo is a very unreasonable person.
Last time, when so many of them accused Huo Xiaohu of stealing Xiaojiu's eggs, she refused to admit it. This time, we must call more adults to listen and see how she can deny it!
When Mrs. Huo heard what Huo Zhongnian said, she suddenly sat up from the bed and said, "Son, tell me quickly, whatever you want me to do, I will do whatever you say!"
"It's a simple matter, mother, just tell me later that you miss Daya so much that you would rather die than Daya come back. Cry and make a scene so that the whole village will know.
"Then take the rope and hang yourself. Of course, don't really hang yourself. When I bring the village head and his men to your house, kick the stool away from under you. I'll break in and let everyone see you hang yourself. As long as everyone believes you hanged yourself for Daya, the Ye family will have a hard time!"
When Mrs. Huo heard the stool being kicked away, she felt sick all over.
"Son, son, I have a question. What if I kick the stool over and you're too late to save me? Will I really hang myself?"
"Don't worry, Mom. Just listen carefully. When I bring people here, if you kick the stool again, I will rush in and rescue you immediately."
"Okay! Son, you must remember to hurry up, otherwise it would be unfair if I really hang myself. A hanged ghost can't be reincarnated!"
"Don't worry, mother. I know what I'm doing. I'll just have my sister-in-law and Ye act more realistically, without revealing any flaws or causing suspicion."
The Huo family mother and son were plotting in the house, but they didn't know that more and more people were eavesdropping under the window.
Everyone frowned as they heard this, and Huo Zhongnian's image plummeted to the bottom in their hearts.
Huo Zhongnian was always humble and polite to everyone. Everyone thought he was the only sensible person in the Huo family, but unexpectedly they were all deceived by him.
It turns out that he is the one who makes the decisions in the Huo family. He dares not disobey his mother because she has the final say, but that is just a trick he uses to deceive people.
"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Old Mrs. Huo slapped her thigh in excitement. "My son's education paid off; he actually came up with such a brilliant idea! As soon as I hang myself, there will definitely be many people in the village who will sympathize with me. Even the Ye family, no matter how powerful they are, will be panicked! If that girl doesn't come back, she'll be accused of being unfilial. How will she find a husband when she grows up?"
"Mom, you hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what I meant. If we use this trick, we'll definitely make those stupid fools in the village run around in circles."
"Fuck him!"
Tietou's father was so angry that he jumped up and wanted to hit someone, but was held down by someone. When he turned around, he saw that the village head was squatting behind him.
"Be patient!" The head of the village gave him a look, and everyone continued to squat quietly in the corner.
"Then I'll go get ready. I need to find a sturdy hemp rope. Otherwise, if it snaps, I'll fall to my death! Son, remember to come and save me quickly. Hanging yourself is very painful!"
"I know, mother!"
The mother and son of the Huo family were discussing something in the house, and the person squatting in the corner listened quietly.
"Yao and Ye, come in!" Old Mrs. Huo called her two daughters-in-law in anxiously and repeated the plan from beginning to end.
Now, even those spectators who came later understood the Huo family's plan.
The village head made a gesture and everyone retreated quietly.
When they walked under the shade of the trees far away from the Huo family, Tietou's father could no longer hold it in.
"Village head, why didn't you let me speak just now? That son of a bitch Huo Zhongnian scolded the whole village. It was really too much!"
"All you do all day is work like a blacksmith!" The village head glared at him in mock anger. "Don't you even use your brain? If you let out a howl, how can we still enjoy the show?"
Everyone was stunned. Did the headman mean not to stop the Huo family?
Let him harm the Ye family?
