Pei Qingshan knew everything about Pei Qingbai's family. After all, Pei Yuanzheng had borrowed a tractor from him that day.
But the old man is old now, and I don’t know if he can still bear such anger. Pei Qingshan is a little hesitant whether to tell him.
Otherwise, you can ask other elders in the clan.
"explain!"
The old man became angry instantly when he saw his expression. He slapped the handle of the recliner hard, and the majesty of the patriarch poured out.
He is not so old that he cannot walk, and he can still protect some of the children in the tribe. He will never let those with bad intentions bully them.
Seeing that the old man was angry, Liu Ping quickly poured him a glass of boiled water and said, "Grandpa Pei, don't be angry. This is what happened..."
She told the old man the whole story, and finally told him the purpose of her visit today, "Old man, although there are many people in our village who value the eldest brother, they are not as excessive as Auntie. The captain and I came to you today just to ask if the thing the villagers said is true?"
The old man opened his mouth slightly and stared straight ahead. After a long while, he sighed, "Alas! What a sin!"
Then, Pei Qingshan and Liu Ping heard an old story from the old man.
Li Dani's husband is the fifth in the clan, and the elders call him Xiaowu. Xiaowu is one of the most outstanding young men of their generation, strong, capable, and hardworking.
Originally, it was Xiaowu who should have been drafted into the army among their generation. However, he went to participate in flood relief and injured his legs. Although it did not affect his future life, he missed the opportunity to join the army.
Where there is loss, there is gain.
Xiaowu met Li Dani while participating in flood relief efforts.
At that time, Li Dani was the girlfriend of Comrade Mao Siqi, who was working with him to fight floods and provide disaster relief. Whenever she had time, she would go to see Mao Siqi. She didn't say a word, but just looked at Mao Siqi affectionately from afar.
They didn't know whether Mao Siqi was moved or not, but Pei Xiaowu was extremely moved and even fell in love with Li Dani.
At first, Pei Xiaowu blamed himself for falling in love with someone else's partner and called himself a beast. As a result, he was distracted during the disaster relief work, injured his legs and feet, and had to withdraw early.
The flood that year was so severe that many comrades who went to rescue the victims died in the flood, including Mao Siqi.
After Mao Siqi's death, Li Dani lost all her energy and spirit, and worked like a walking corpse all day long.
Pei Xiaowu was both sad and happy when he heard the news. He was struggling over whether he should ask his family to propose to Li Dani, who had lost her beloved.
At this juncture, Li Dani fainted while going up the mountain to collect grass for pigs. Only then did she realize that she was pregnant. Of course, the child was Mao Siqi's.
All of a sudden Li Dani's reputation in the village became bad, and it became difficult for her and her three younger sisters to find marriages. Her family hated her so much that they wanted to force her to abort the child and get married.
It was at this time that Pei Xiaowu stepped forward and brought his parents to Li Dani's family to propose marriage, saying that he didn't mind that she had dated before and had lost her virginity to someone else.
The Li family was so happy that they wanted to marry Li Dani to him immediately.
Li Dani, however, took advantage of the situation and told Pei Xiaowu that the baby in her belly was the orphan of a flood fighting hero and she would never abort the baby. If Pei Xiaowu really wanted to marry her, he should accept the child and treat him as his own, and only then would she marry him.
Everyone thought Pei Xiaowu would hesitate, but he agreed immediately. Everyone in the Pei family advised Pei Xiaowu to think more about it. For a good man like him, what was the difference between marrying a wife like this and marrying a widow who had lost her husband?
It wasn't until Pei Xiaowu got angry one day and beat up the man who said Li Dani was a slut, almost beating him to death, that the voices of pointing fingers stopped.
Pei Xiaowu's parents didn't dare to stop him anymore, because he said that if he was not allowed to marry Li Dani, he would never marry in his life.
If he married Li Dani, at least there would be hope of leaving descendants. If he didn't marry Li Dani, then he would be prepared to have no descendants.
There was no choice but for his parents to agree.
Not only did he agree, he also married Li Dani with a relatively high dowry at that time, but Li Dani's family did not go back at all.
At that time, famine broke out all over the country. Although there was no shortage of food in Gan Province, life was not easy. Gan Province not only accepted many refugees, but also donated more than 20 billion kilograms of grain from more than 20 years ago to the present.
(This is a true story from Jiangxi. From 1950 to 1980, Jiangxi transferred a total of 36.8 billion catties of grain, of which 28.7 billion catties were net increased. Even during the three difficult years, 4.35 billion catties of grain were saved. Jiangxi is still a famous red province. It's a pity that such a flesh-and-blood province is now only famous for its betrothal gifts...)
Those grains were the food rations that the people of Gan Province saved by tightening their belts.
Although Pei Xiaowu's parents were not satisfied with their daughter-in-law, they still gave her 120 kilograms of grain as a betrothal gift. In that era, 120 kilograms of grain could save countless lives.
Li Dani had lost her lover at that time, and also learned that she had lost the opportunity to get a salary in the commune. She was extremely desperate. Perhaps she felt that it didn't matter who she married, and Pei Xiaowu's family was willing to pay so much for the bride price, and she had no shortage of food and drink.
So she got married.
When I got married, I could still see signs of my pregnancy even when I wore loose clothes.
Over the years, because of Li Dani's boldness and the fact that she was willing to give up everything for Pei Qingsong, no one in the village dared to talk about it, for fear that Li Dani would come to their door with a kitchen knife one day.
Who dares to argue with a madman?
After listening to all this, Liu Ping asked, "What about Qingbai and Qingyang? Are they Uncle Wu's sons?"
"It's his." The old man said affirmatively: "When Xiaowu was still alive, Li Dani was very nice to Qingbai and Qingyang, alas!"
It's difficult to comment on this kind of thing.
Pei Qingsong, Pei Qingbai and Pei Qingyang were all born from Li Dani's belly. Just because Pei Qingsong was born to her beloved man, she could cruelly curse her other two sons to death and even crippled one of them.
Liu Ping and Pei Qingshan were speechless for a long time after hearing this. Is a woman who is so crazy for so-called love really qualified to be a mother?
Where does she put Pei Xiaowu, who loves and respects her and treats her with all his might?
After torturing her son like this, would she still have the face to see Pei Xiaowu a hundred years later?
Liu Ping thought about it and said goodbye respectfully: "Grandpa, I understand. I still have to go to visit your home. I won't bother you today. I'll come to see you next time."
"Hey, go ahead and let Qingshan accompany you. Li Dani is a fierce woman, don't let her hurt you. If you have any problems, come to me. Although I'm old, I still have some authority." The old man said, waving his hand to let them go out.
When Liu Ping turned around, he kicked Pei Qingshan in the butt.
I cursed in my heart: You unfilial descendants, you haven’t brought the person back after such a long time, it’s useless!
