Chapter 221 Cutting off the hair to show determination
This son-in-law used to be such a noble person. Even when he liked Cuiyu the most, he spoke to him in a condescending tone.
But at that time, no one thought it was wrong.
After all, he is the son of such a prominent family.
Now he was kneeling in front of him, begging in a way that made Old Man Mo very uncomfortable.
Old Man Mo is an honest man, but he is not a fool.
They have already been exiled, what could be more unbearable than this? Divorce cannot change the status of a sinner, so why should they divorce in this situation?
Besides, his daughter is definitely not someone who would abandon others for her own sake.
Old Man Mo pulled his hand back and asked sadly, "Cui Yu is such a soft-hearted person, how did you make her so angry that she divorced you?"
Huo Jianglin remained silent.
"Jiang Lin, go back and don't step into this yard again." The old lady shouted and drove him away.
"Aunt..."
"Walk!"
If you don’t leave now, you will lose your life!
I don’t know if Huo Jianglin understood the deeper meaning in the old lady’s eyes, but he stood up and walked away dejectedly.
"Brother Mo, let me tell you why."
Basically what the old lady said was that Huo Jianglin suffered a blow and was unable to recover, allowing Ding to sell Mo Cuiyu as she wished.
She stood in the yard and spoke so that Xinyuerong could hear her.
Mo Cuiyu went into the house to give Feng'er a bath, and Xinyuerong followed her in.
Just to see if Feng'er was injured.
I could hear clearly what was said outside.
After hearing this, Old Man Mo became furious.
"At the time, I was afraid Cuiyu would suffer, so I borrowed money from all the neighbors, bribed the yamen runners, and gave them money to spend on their trip to Liangzhou. I never expected...
Why sell my daughter, Huo Baohong! How did you promise me! No wonder you don’t dare to come to see me! "
The coldness rose in Xinyuerong's body again.
"Mom, they are all dead. I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore. Can you please just ignore those irrelevant people?" Mo Cuiyu requested.
Xinyuerong tried hard to suppress her anger.
"Well, did they ever beat you?"
"No."
Feng'er pursed her lips.
Xinyuerong didn't ask any further questions.
She knew that if someone had been beaten, he must have been beaten.
It's even to the point of selling her, how could I show mercy to her?
Are you bullying her daughter and Brother Mo because they are soft-hearted?
She turned and left the house.
Mo Cuiyu chased out, only to see that the master and servant disappeared in an instant.
It turns out her mother knows kung fu?
That graceful figure was as cool as the wind.
Her mother should be such a free-spirited woman, right?
But because of her, he was tied up with invisible ropes for eighteen years.
"My mother..."
"Don't worry about it. Your mother is chivalrous and would not kill anyone," said the old lady.
For their sake, they probably won't be killed, at most they'll be beaten up.
No one expected that Xinyuerong not only beat Huo Baohong and Huo Jianglin so hard that they couldn't get out of bed, but also went to the mountain and dug up Ding's grave.
The corpses were scattered all over the ground and wild dogs were grabbing them frantically.
The old lady was still glad. If they knew the truth, no one would have survived.
…
The next day, Sang Ning went out with a plain head of dried noodles.
Damn it, I didn’t believe it when I heard my sister-in-law say it at home. The way everyone looked at her, it really looked like she didn’t wear a mask during the epidemic and was running naked in a swimsuit on the street!
"Jintang, is this also a hairstyle created by your aunt? Is it too bold?" Yue Buyuan hesitated.
Jintang sighed, "Teacher, that's not true. My aunt sacrificed herself to catch a spy yesterday, and her hair was burned off in a fire. Fortunately, the spies were caught.
She said: "Life is more important than wealth, but neither is as important as the safety of the country."
“…”
Yue Buyuan's eyes were filled with awe, and Sang Ning's image suddenly became tall in his eyes.
I heard the comments of people around me who didn't know the truth, and they all said she was ugly, rebellious, and looked like a big round egg.
Although everyone spoke in a low voice and there was no strong malice, they were just expressing their disdain, but Yue Buyuan still couldn't stand it anymore.
How could a man who works for the country and the people be misunderstood like this?
Thinking that he at least had some trust among the people, he nodded heavily.
"Jintang, bring a knife to the teacher."
Jintang obediently took the knife, and then saw the teacher cut off his hair without hesitation.
Jintang: “…”
What is this?
I feel that sometimes the teacher is just like my fourth uncle, with a restless mind?
"Mr. Yue? You... you... why did you cut your hair? You're shaving yourself?"
"Cut your hair and claws, and consider yourself a sacrifice. Has Mr. Yue been bewitched?"
"Oh my god! This is so unfilial! If Mr. Yue Lao knew about this, he would be so angry that he would jump out of his coffin!"
…
"My fellow villagers, this is our determination to cut off our hair!" Yue Buyuan's voice was powerful and his eyes were firm.
I don't know when it started, but he seemed to no longer be sick.
It seemed to have started when Jintang would bring him a cake and a pot of tea from time to time.
"Do you know what happened to Madam Sang's hair? She burned it to catch a spy who had infiltrated Liangzhou City. She protected Liangzhou City and our safety, and she deserves everyone's respect!
Therefore, I, the moon is not full, cut my hair today and follow Lady Sang's example to show my irreconcilable and resolute determination to resist the people of Western Liao!"
“…”
“…”
“…”
Sang Ning was talking to Qin Wangyuan. He had entered the space in the middle of the night to collect dozens of bags of food in the past few days and was planning to ask him to transport another batch when he heard Yue Buyuan's passionate words.
This kid's voice is much louder now?
Qin Wangyuan: “…”
His mistress and a young man both cut their hair, looking like a match. What's going on?
It is not allowed.
Anyway, his father died a long time ago and won’t be angry, so just cut it off!
"Mr. Yue is right! I'll come too!"
Qin Wangyuan shouted, and he also pulled Ruomei, who came forward to talk to Sang Ning.
Ruomei: Oh my God, you came at such a bad time!
Everyone witnessed two more people cutting their hair.
At a glance, the coal yard was full of confused eyes.
Isn't it said that hair is more valuable than life? How come it is so worthless now?
A man who was scratching his head so hard that his scalp was about to break suddenly jumped up and said, "I want a haircut too!"
If he doesn't cut his hair, the lice will increase. He doesn't care about his parents, but they are already dead.
It was so hard to come up with such a righteous reason that no one could condemn him.
Then, a few more lice brothers jumped out and cut their hair.
Sang Ning: I never expected that things would develop in such a strange direction.
But she likes it!
No one treated her as an outlier anymore. Everyone was running naked together, and the one wearing clothes was the outlier! Hahahaha…
"No, you don't have to do this, stop! No, no, stop... You don't have to stop..."
"My fellow villagers, I am deeply moved by you. In this case, I have to say something from the bottom of my heart.
Actually, having long hair also has its disadvantages. It will absorb the nutrients that should be growing in your body and make you weak.
Just like when a branch grows long it needs to be pruned, otherwise the fruit will not grow big.
We cut our nails when they grow long, so why can’t we cut our hair?
What kind of unfilial behavior is that? When our parents are still alive, we serve them food and water, so that they can die peacefully. This is the greatest filial piety!
Besides, what we cut off was only the chaff, without damaging the roots, so how can it be considered damage?
We are clearly doing maintenance!"
