“I know, that’s why I’m here to talk business with you. How much are you going to sell your daughter-in-law for?” Feng Biluo asked. Upon hearing this, Xiaohua’s mother immediately understood.
"Oh, if you need money, you can have fifty yuan, not a penny less." He said to Feng Biluo. Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo looked at the other person.
“Okay, but I need you to tell me that you were the one who sold your daughter-in-law to my second brother in the first place. She is my second brother’s wife,” Feng Biluo said, even though it was wrong.
The question is, what era should we be in? We should act according to the era. Feng Biluo looked at Xiaohua's mother and said, "If you're right, I can give you an extra twenty yuan."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Xiaohua's mother immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you."
Originally, her daughter-in-law was worth twenty yuan, but now she has seventy yuan, so of course she's happy. As for others saying she's selling her daughter-in-law, she's not the only one doing it in the surrounding villages.
So she immediately nodded, and Feng Biluo gave the other party thirty yuan to resolve the matter. Xiao Hua's mother looked at the money and smiled broadly, "If you had told me your second brother liked it, I would have come to your house from the beginning and given that jinx to you."
Feng Biluo didn't say anything, she just looked at Xiaohua's mother. She didn't like this greedy person. Her daughter-in-law wasn't her daughter. Even if she were her daughter, she wouldn't be able to do what she wanted with her.
The problem is that this is the best way for Feng Linshu to get away. Feng Biluo already understood that if the two of them were caught in the act of adultery, they would have no way to refute it.
Feng Biluo believed that someone else was behind this, and that no matter how much she said in Gujia Village, no one would care. Under these circumstances, Feng Biluo could only use the simplest and most direct method.
Greedy people are most persuasive when it comes to money. Xiaohua's mother is greedy and wants to find a wife for her second son. When she sees money, she hesitates for a few seconds, let alone her daughter-in-law.
Gu Xiaohua's mother, true to her reputation as someone who sells her daughter-in-law, managed to change the fact that Feng Linshu and Gu Ting were a young couple by using her silver tongue and tantrums.
The people of Gujia Village understood that Xiaohua's mother had probably taken money, but they could only release the person. After all, the victim said that she had given money to Feng Linshu in the beginning, so what could they say?
Feng Biluo stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall, looking at Gu Ting who had been brought out. Gu Ting looked very haggard, her eyes glazed over, as if she had lost her soul. Feng Biluo then looked at Feng Linshu, who also looked completely lost.
"Biluo, why did you ask them to release your second brother? I thought you were going to go home and find your uncles and aunts." Feng's mother said, looking at her son with great heartache.
"You little rascal, what happened? Why aren't you saying a word?" After saying a few words at first, her son seemed to have lost his soul and stopped saying anything.
When Feng Biluo looked at it, she immediately picked up the child and asked, "Second Brother, it was Gu Ting who did it, right?!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Linshu's expression changed. When he looked at Feng Biluo, his eyes reddened, and the grown man burst into tears, burying his face in his hands. "Why did she do this? She said she wouldn't get married, she said she didn't love me anymore, she said she hated me. She said she'd let bygones be bygones? How could she just let bygones be bygones? We... we were supposed to get married at the end of this year, how could she suddenly change her mind?"
Feng Linshu cried, his whole body a mess, just like a child. The girl he liked suddenly said she didn't like him anymore, even though everything was fine at first, and they even went shopping together.
She had worked hard for him and done so many things for him, but suddenly she said she didn't love him anymore and wanted to break up with him. Feng Linshu's entire worldview collapsed.
"What? Gu Ting did it? Why would she do such a thing? I've committed a terrible sin." Upon hearing this, Feng's mother hugged her son and cried, thinking of Feng Biluo's husband's death after marriage.
The eldest son's arranged marriage was supposed to be held soon, but he suddenly changed his mind and refused to marry. The second son's childhood sweetheart also suddenly said she wouldn't marry him and even tried to slander her son.
"No, I have to go find Gu Ting." Feng's mother stood up, but Feng Linshu grabbed her. "What are you doing? I have to find out what my son did to her that she treated him like this."
"Mom, forget it. She really doesn't love me anymore. Mom, let's go back." Feng Linshu said, but Feng Biluo looked at Feng Linshu.
"Second Brother, you think you can just let it go like that? Have you ever thought about how this involved an innocent person? She almost got drowned in a pig cage with you." Feng Biluo pulled Gu Ting, who was in a daze, over.
Gu Ting looked dazed. When she saw Feng Linshu crying, she was stunned for a while before walking to Feng Linshu's side and grabbing his clothes. "Don't... cry."
"A-Ting." Feng Linshu was stunned for a moment, as if the somewhat dazed girl in front of him was his A-Ting, but he quickly came to his senses and looked at Feng Biluo.
"Then what can I do?" What could he do? Gu Ting was the woman he loved, what... could he do?
“Brother, you can ignore this matter, but I can’t. Because of this, we’ve dragged an innocent person into it. If you want to let Gu Ting go, that’s your business. The problem is that I have to get justice,” Feng Biluo said.
Upon hearing this, Feng Linshu opened his mouth and looked at the girl beside him. She was in a sorry state, her clothes were tattered. He thought of what happened yesterday, when she was pinned to the ground and kicked by those people.
He's a grown man and it doesn't matter, but the problem is that she's a young woman. Even if things are over between them now, she'll still be stigmatized in the future.
“I’ll go with you. I also want to get to the bottom of this.” Feng Linshu said after looking at Gu Ting. Indeed, he could let his own affairs go, but the matter of this young widow couldn’t be left unresolved.
We cannot treat a young widow so contemptuously just because she is a fool. When Feng's mother heard this, she immediately followed suit, and Feng Biluo inquired about the whole story from Feng Linshu.
He only found out that Gu Ting had suddenly written a letter to Feng Linshu last night. Feng Linshu thought that she was not going to break up with him, so he happily went to see her. However, he was in a daze halfway through and ended up having sex with Gu Ting.
Before they could even react, the two were beaten and injured by the people who caught them in the act. They were arrested, paraded around, and then to be drowned in a pig cage when it got dark.
If it weren't for Xiaohua's mother's greed, this matter wouldn't have ended like this. The people of Gujia Village would have made those two drown in a pig cage for the sake of family rules. Of course, it was also thanks to Xiaohua's mother's intervention that the other party rolled around in the ancestral hall, crying and making a scene, which made the village chief take pity on her because her husband had died early and she was a widow. In the 1950s, there were many widows.
