Jiang Wei couldn't help but open her mouth wide when she saw the mute girl kicking her second uncle several times, and then she couldn't help but keep paying attention.
The mute girl is so timid. She usually stays as far away as possible when she encounters such things. Why is she rushing to join in the fun today?
She closed her slightly open mouth, looked at the mute girl running towards her, and quietly moved to the side.
The mute girl held her knees with both hands, panting for breath. She was simply holding on. This body was injured a lot, and she was hungry. It was a blessing that she didn't faint.
After catching her breath, she stretched out a small black hand and poked Jiang Wei's shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Wei frowned and looked very dissatisfied.
The mute girl opened her mouth, then pursed it again when she remembered she couldn't speak. She pointed at Old Man Jiang in the crowd, took a few deep breaths, then held them, her face flushing red. Finally, she tilted her neck, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and pretended to be choked.
Jiang Wei:...
She actually understood it.
She looked at her grandfather in surprise and doubt, then at her mute sister, unable to make up her mind.
Jiang Erlang, who was squeezed out of the crowd, saw the mute girl standing next to him running away. He couldn't help but look back and saw the mute girl's actions.
He didn't have time to be surprised, and hurriedly looked at the old man, and found that the other's expression was indeed different from usual.
The old man's face is full of wrinkles left by the years, which are not easy to see unless you look carefully.
Jiang Erlang walked quickly forward and patted his grandfather's chest, whispering comforting words.
The appearance of Jiang Erlang reminded Old Man Jiang of his three eldest grandsons and two granddaughters, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although the young man's words just now seemed to be provocative, they woke him up. His second son was too weak to be used. As long as Liu was around, he would not learn anything good.
In the final analysis, it’s all retribution!
When he was young, he tried his best to become a scholar but failed, so all the work at home and outside the house fell on Wang, who died early due to exhaustion. After the birth of the youngest son, he was deeply doted on by his parents. Liu, relying on the support of his parents-in-law, used filial piety to pressure him, causing the eldest wife's family to suffer for many years.
It would have been fine if all the benefits were taken by the second wife, he just wanted his youngest son to have a better future, not to mention becoming a Jinshi, but at least become a Xiucai. Who knew that his youngest son turned out to be a hopeless person...
Old man Jiang was filled with regret. He was already half-buried in the earth, and he should have thought more about supporting the big house.
He ordered Jiang Sanlang, who had been standing beside him, "Sanlang, go get me some paper and pen."
Old man Jiang still looked dejected, but he no longer had the dejection he had before.
Jiang Sanlang's eyes widened instantly. He didn't expect that his grandfather's words were not just angry words, but he was happy to see it come true.
He was very happy in his heart but didn't dare show it on his face, so he trotted into the house.
The mute girl and Jiang Wei stared at each other for a while, then turned around and found that Jiang Erlang had already calmed down Old Man Jiang. She stopped wasting time with Jiang Wei and instead set her gaze on Liu lying on the ground, rolling up her tattered sleeves and eager to try.
For some reason, Jiang Wei had a bad feeling in her heart. Seeing the mute girl making a move, she followed her into the kitchen.
Not long after, the mute girl came out staggering with a wooden basin that was three or four times bigger than her little face.
Seeing that she looked like she was about to fall with every step she took, Jiang Wei was terrified and wanted to reach out to help her, but she was always avoided. She could only watch her carrying the wooden basin towards Liu.
Finding a gap and slipping into the crowd, the mute girl slowly approached Liu. When someone saw her and wanted to help her, she intentionally or unintentionally avoided them. When they were about the same distance, she pretended to stagger and the wooden basin in her hand slipped.
First, the water in the basin poured all over Liu's head and face. The water stimulated Liu and she opened her eyes instantly. Then, with a "bang", she lost consciousness.
He survived being pinched on the Ren Zhong point but couldn't withstand being hit on the head with a wooden basin.
Everyone: ······
The mute girl took a step back with a look of fear on her face, and finally sat down on the ground, tilting her little face towards the sky and crying "wuwuaah".
Liu, who was lying on the ground, had her head smashed by the wooden basin and was bleeding. The villagers watching were shocked by this.
"Mute sister, are you here to make things worse?"
"What should I do? Should I call a doctor?"
"Uncle De is writing a divorce letter. Ask him later."
Qian Xiuzhu, who had been watching the whole process, had a flicker in her eyes and quickly squatted down to take out a handkerchief and give Liu a simple bandage.
Then she walked over to the little girl and asked softly, "Why are you bringing water, mute sister?"
The mute girl's eyes lit up. It was worth it that she cried until her throat was about to break. The original owner's mother was very considerate.
She closed her mouth, pointed at the wooden basin, picked up her clothes and wiped her face.
Qian Xiuzhu understood, and she raised her voice, "Mute sister, do you want to wipe your grandma's face so that she can wake up sooner?"
The mute girl nodded vigorously.
She is just a little mute, what bad intentions could she have?
There were fewer discussions around her, and some people even came to comfort her.
Qian Xiuzhu wiped the little girl's tears and said, "Mom knows that you didn't mean it. You're not strong enough. Next time, just ask your uncles, aunts or cousins to help you. Do you hear me?"
The mute girl nodded obediently in cooperation.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, each having their own little plans.
The noise here also alarmed Old Man Jiang who was writing a divorce letter. He paused with his pen, then calmed down and continued writing.
People often say that marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. This is how his life will be. Now all his hopes are on his three grandchildren. He cannot let Liu ruin his grandchildren's future.
The village chief took the opportunity to speak up, oh no, remind him: "Uncle De, Aunt Liu was wrong in this matter, but she did take care of the old couple until their death, and even gave birth to a son. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard, right?
Aunt Liu's family home is far from Shili Village, and she's old. Even if she went back, no one would be willing to take care of her, so she ended up living with the second son. "We live in the same village, so we see each other every day. We should at least be able to maintain some respect, what do you think?"
Being a village chief is not that easy, is it? If he helps Old Man Jiang divorce his wife today, tomorrow people will accuse him of helping his relatives and not helping his wife, and will stab the Jiang family in the back!
Old man Jiang had stopped writing a long time ago. He understood what the village chief meant. He and Liu had lived together for nearly half of their lives, so a divorce was still acceptable, and he could just divorce his wife.
Seeing that Old Man Jiang had taken his words to heart, the village chief stopped trying to persuade him. Whether it was a divorce or a divorce, Liu was still in a coma, so the matter could only be put aside for the time being.
