Chapter 120 The Second Daughter-in-law Who Was Ugly in the Farming Literature 4
They broke out in cold sweats in the middle of winter and finally squeezed into the yard. The scene before them made them completely dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
Even though several people were curious, no one had the time to explain to them. Looking at Zhang Laoer lying on the wooden board with his flesh and blood all over his body, the timid woman subconsciously turned her head away and dared not take a second look, sighing.
"How could he be so badly injured? Call a doctor to take a look."
The doctor they were talking about was not the town doctor, but a village doctor. He might be able to treat headaches and fevers on ordinary days, but he could only grope around in a situation like this.
Hardly had that person finished speaking when a young man pulled a white-bearded old man carrying a medicine box into the crowd, shouting for help as they squeezed. Behind them followed a boy and a girl, about six or seven years old, crying and wailing with their mouths wide open, as if their father had died.
Luo An stopped thinking about this because she found out that the two skinny little guys were indeed two poor guys from the original owner's family, and their father had indeed died.
Luo An knew at first sight that the man was beyond saving. Sure enough, the old doctor reached out to check his breath and shook his head with a look of regret, "There's no hope! Prepare for his funeral."
When Zhang Rui and Zhang Hua heard that their father was really dead, they cried even louder, making Luo An's forehead twitch.
But she didn't even frown. She quickly hugged the two children and cried their hearts out together. The tears were so pouring and the emotions were so strong that 001 felt a toothache.
"Host, you're using too much force. Let's hold back a little."
Luo An didn't listen to it at all and continued to cry without thinking. If she didn't cry now, when would she cry? She felt that the more miserable she was, the more miserable the Zhang family members who were standing by and watching the show would be.
"Master, how could you leave without saying anything? What are we going to do, leaving us, an orphan and a widow, behind? You're still here, and I'm accusing us, saying that I was greedy and asked you to go up the mountain to catch pheasants, which is why something happened. But... but it was clearly I who said that Cheng'er didn't have enough tuition, so I asked you to go up the mountain to hunt for some prey to pay his tuition.
Normally, we would have suffered some losses, but now that you are gone, there is no room for the three of us at home. How am I going to live in the future?"
The two children were already sad enough, and when they heard their mother say this, the volume of their crying increased even more, almost causing Luo An to lose concentration.
Children are children. Although they are usually unhappy because their father always puts their cousin before them, they still feel sad when facing this scene.
Only Luo An had tears on his face, but his heart was calm.
If she were to tell him that the second son of the Zhang family was a coward, his wife was pushed and his son was born prematurely, he knew the whole story but never defended them.
The Zhang family is still run by the old couple. When the eldest and third sons eat dry rice, the original owner and the two children can only drink some porridge that is as thin as possible. As the main laborer in the family, Zhang Laoer can still get a bite of dry food, so he ignores the treatment of his wife and children, and scolds them loudly when they cry.
In his opinion, everything he said was fucking right, and anyone who tried to resist deserved death.
The original owner had advised him against it in the early morning when he followed Old Lady Zhang's advice and braved the heavy snow to go up the mountain, but she slapped him and cursed at him.
"What do you, a woman, know? Cheng'er's salary is a big deal. When he becomes a juren, how could he possibly treat me, his uncle, unfairly?"
Luo An sneered and said, "I won't treat you unfairly, because I don't even have the chance to treat you unfairly."
On a snowy day, Zhang Laoer was the only one out. Old man Zhang was drinking and bragging at his eldest brother's house. Of course, he was accompanied by Zhang Laoda, the "future juren father", and Zhang Laosan, who came up to him with a fawning attitude.
The two families were neither far nor close to each other. By the time they heard the noise and rushed over, the situation was no longer under their control.
Usually, Old Man Zhang would hide behind Old Lady Zhang and watch coldly. In his opinion, it was a woman's job to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson, and it would be disgraceful for him, as a father-in-law, to get involved.
But now Old Lady Zhang and her two daughters-in-law have lost their ability to fight, and Old Man Zhang can no longer be a coward, so he can only bite the bullet and move forward.
The skinny old man stared with a thief's eyes, his already fat nose growing and shrinking with anger. He wanted to curse but had to consider his image. "Second brother's family, we can't say such things casually. There are many children in the family, and it is inevitable that there will be times when we don't treat them equally. But the second brother is also our own son. How can we let him go up the mountain to die on a day like this!"
Luo An sneered, I've been waiting for you, old turtle.
She raised her face which was buried in the child's shoulder. Her thin and plain face was covered with traces of tears. Her eye sockets and nose were red with a hint of pink, making her look more fragile than usual. Her eyes were filled with hatred and timidity, making her look lovable.
"Dad, I swear if Mom hadn't asked my husband to go up the mountain today, I would be struck by lightning. Do you dare?"
Here it comes! I start swearing again!
I don’t know why, but the onlookers are still a little excited. I don’t know whether God will strike someone again, and who it will be this time.
Old man Zhang was a superstitious person, so of course he was unwilling to make such an oath in public. After all, he knew exactly what the situation was, and it was a bit hollow after all.
"What are you swearing? Stop fooling around!"
Luo An had a stubborn look on his face, "Dad, am I making a fuss? Don't you claim to be the fairest person in the family? It doesn't matter if Mom wronged me, I can just die, but these two children are my husband's children, and they are also your grandchildren! How will they cope with having a mother who kills her husband? Have you ever thought about it?"
Besides, aren't you adamant that your mother didn't do this? So, what are you afraid of? God is fair. He won't wrongly accuse a good person, nor will he wrongly accuse anyone who lies. Don't you agree?
Yes, yes, it’s your mother!
Old man Zhang just wanted to swear. When he first arrived, he saw his wife and two daughters-in-law lying on the ground with their eyes rolled back, and he didn't know what was going on. Now he heard everything being said left and right, and if he still couldn't figure out the situation, he would be a fool.
Seeing that it was not enough for Luo An to harm three people and he was also preparing to harm him, he was so angry!
But he had no choice but to shut up because he found that his second son's wife had changed and he couldn't argue with her at all.
Seeing this, Zhang Laosan felt that it was time for him to make a contribution, so he immediately stood up and accused Luo An of all kinds of wrongdoings.
Luo An only had one thing to say about this, "Uncle, are you ready to swear on behalf of our father to prove his innocence?"
Zhang Laosan glanced at his wife, whose mouth was crooked and eyes were squinting, and unconsciously took a half step back with his right foot. "Second sister-in-law, are you threatening us with an oath?"
Luo An raised his finger and swore, then asked, "Is this a threat? Only people with a guilty conscience would think this is a threat, right?"
"That's right, that's a bullshit threat!"
"You still don't understand! You must be really guilty! I used to think Zhang Lao Er was a complete idiot, but now I see he was right."
"Tsk tsk! In my opinion, the most heartless person is Boss Zhang. His brother has become like this for his son, and he didn't even shed a tear."
"More than that! Look at him, drunk as hell! His younger brother braved the snow and went up the mountain to get game in exchange for his son's salary. As a father, he felt so uncomfortable drinking and chatting with others. And looking at his usual pretentious attitude, I wonder if he would have thought his son was already a successful candidate. What a hypocrite!"
