Chapter 65: People sit in the house, the pot comes from the sky
Black Pot Lady glanced at Widow Zhang.
It’s strange, besides Widow Zhang, there is someone else in Heihe Village who does this kind of thing?
"It's really immoral!"
"I want to see who is doing such a shameless thing in the middle of the night!"
The two sisters-in-law rolled up their sleeves and prepared to catch the adulterer.
Black Pot Mother pulled them aside and kindly reminded Widow Zhang, "Isn't it your Shui He?"
"How is that possible?" Widow Zhang said with displeasure, "My Shui He is a good child! If she dares to do such a shameless thing, I will break her legs!"
Black Pot Mother said: "Then let's take charge and don't let them escape!"
"Don't even think about escaping!"
There was an inexplicable excitement in Widow Zhang's tone.
Several people immediately dispersed, and as the encirclement became smaller and smaller, the men suddenly pounced on the man and woman and pinned them to the ground!
Then they tied their hands behind their backs with hay.
Widow Zhang suddenly cried out in surprise, "Everyone, come and see! There's something fishy going on in the threshing floor!"
The sound was so loud that it startled the sleeping birds in the trees, causing them to cackle and fly around in panic.
The woman lying on the ground angrily said, "Mom! What are you doing?!"
Black Pot Mother came forward to take a look and opened her mouth in shock, "Old Zhang's, it's really your Shui He!"
"What? Don't talk nonsense!" Widow Zhang pretended not to believe it.
"Come and see for yourself!"
Widow Zhang came forward and, seeing her daughter's face, she covered her mouth and burst into tears, "Oh my God! Why are you so disobedient? I told you not to come here! Are you going to piss me off to death?"
When the villagers heard the noise, they ran over barefoot without even having time to put on their shoes.
Someone even kindly lit a torch.
In the threshing ground, people in three layers surrounded a man and a woman who wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground. Everyone was talking at the same time, and the whole place was buzzing.
Shui He Niang sat on the ground and cried loudly.
It was as if he was afraid that others didn’t know that the woman was Shui He!
The man pressed his face tightly against the ground, and no one could tell who he was, nor did they dare to step forward to confirm.
Serious matters like this that are immoral must be handled personally by the village head.
"The head of the village is here!"
Everyone immediately made way for the village head, who walked in with a serious expression.
"Village head! You have to make the decision for me!" Shui Heniang crawled over and grabbed the village head's trouser leg.
The village head originally thought that it was a married couple having an affair, and that such men and women would be drowned in a pond.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Shui He, who was still unmarried. She was stunned for a moment.
"Make the decision? Your daughter did such a shameful thing, and you still have the nerve to ask me to make the decision!"
"This has nothing to do with Shui He!" Widow Zhang slapped her thighs. "It was Ye Yan'an from the Ye family who tricked my daughter into coming here!"
"What?"
"Ye Yan'an!"
The onlookers were stunned.
Ye Yan'an has been a celebrity in the village recently. Everyone's impression of him has just changed, but how did he get dragged into such a scandal!
"Mom! Stop talking!" Shui He screamed miserably.
Widow Zhang cried shrilly, "I want to tell you! I must tell you! Don't worry, my girl! The whole village will stand up for you!"
"Everyone, listen to me! It's Ye Yan'an! He insisted on meeting Shui He that evening. Although Shui He likes him, she also knows that a private meeting is wrong! She told me that the Ye family is no longer what it used to be. If she doesn't agree to Ye Yan'an, what will happen if she offends the Ye family?"
"I told her that I would rather offend the Ye family than agree to this. But this girl was scared and came anyway without telling me!"
"Village Head! My daughter's reputation has been completely ruined by Ye Yan'an. The Ye family must be held responsible for this!"
"How do you want the Ye family to be responsible?"
A lukewarm voice suddenly sounded. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found Luo Qiuyue in the crowd.
Widow Zhang screamed at the top of her lungs, "Mother Yan An! You're finally here! Your son has committed such a shameful act, ruining my daughter's innocence. You must give me an explanation no matter what! Otherwise, I'll bang my head against your door and die!"
Luo Qiuyue sighed slowly, "Why are you so excited? If you have something to say, let's talk it over. I'll do whatever you want with the Ye family."
Shui He Niang was stunned.
Luo Qiuyue is not a pushover. She originally thought that this matter would cause a fuss, but she didn't expect that she would be so easy to talk to!
"You're smart! I want Ye Yan'an to marry Shui He!"
"Is there anything else?" Luo Qiuyue asked.
Shui He Niang was stunned again. What else? She hadn't had time to think about it!
"For example, how much is the bride price?" Luo Qiuyue reminded her with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! Bride price!" Widow Zhang excitedly got up from the ground. "My daughter Shuihe was originally going to marry into a wealthy family in town! Now that she's been ruined by your son, you must give her at least four hundred taels of silver as a bride price!"
"Four hundred taels!" everyone shouted in unison.
The betrothal gift from rural families is usually ten or twenty taels.
The better-off families in the town gave fifty taels, some gave eighty taels, and the most did not exceed one hundred taels.
They had never heard of a bride price as high as four hundred taels!
It's obvious that this widow is asking for too much!
But what else could they do? Who had put the Ye family in the wrong? They could only be led by the nose!
Luo Qiuyue nodded, "Your Shuihe is beautiful and is indeed worth four hundred taels of silver."
Wow! The crowd went wild.
Who doesn't know Luo Qiuyue is stingy? Four hundred taels! She agreed to it without even blinking?
The head of the village opened his eyes wide. Was Yan An's mother crazy or stupid?
Shui He's secret meeting with Ye Yan'an has ruined her reputation. Who else can she marry but him?
Even if the Ye family doesn't pay a penny, Widow Zhang must marry her daughter off!
How could Yan An's mother not understand such a simple truth? !
"But..." Luo Qiuyue looked in a good mood, "For matters like marrying a wife, I still have to ask Yan An's opinion. What if he doesn't like Shui He at all? I don't want to force him."
"That's not up to you..."
Widow Zhang was about to argue when Luo Qiuyue shouted, "Yan'an! Are you willing to marry Shuihe?"
"No!"
Everyone looked at the man lying on the concrete floor.
"Yan An, this is where you're wrong!"
"Yes, Yan An, you have been having a secret meeting with Shui He, you must marry her!"
"Who did I have a secret meeting with?!"
Ye Yan'an pushed his way through the crowd and squeezed in, looking at the stunned people. "I've been working as a thresher at home, okay? Can you guys please understand the situation before you speak? I'm sitting in the house and the pot comes from the sky. Don't play tricks on me like this!"
"Ye Yan'an! How is this possible?!"
Widow Zhang screamed with a pale face and rushed over to lift the man off the ground.
“Three black guys!!!” everyone shouted in unison.
"Why is this happening?!" Widow Zhang ripped Shui He's hair madly. "Didn't you say Ye Yan'an was the one who asked you out? How did it become him?"
Shui He cried, "I don't know either! It was Ye Yan'an who asked me out, but I became San Heizi!"
Ye Yanan sneered, "Don't talk nonsense, I never asked you out!"
Shui He suddenly remembered something, "Jin Bao! It was Jin Bao who came to report the news! Just ask Jin Bao and you'll know that I didn't wrongly accuse Ye Yan'an!"
