"What's going on? What happened?" Some neighbors heard the commotion and came out to see what was happening.
"What happened? Whose house is this? Go check it out right away!"
"Bring some weapons, have you forgotten about last year?"
"Yes, yes, bring some!"
And so, following the commotion, Shangwan Village arrived at the Wu family's residence!
The crowd looked at each other.
It felt like I knew it all along.
Everyone in Shangwan Village knows that Comrade Su is not someone to be trifled with!
That old woman Wu, she talked about someone's precious darling like that yesterday.
The news spread throughout the entire Shangwan Village.
Many people are waiting for Granny Wu to suffer misfortune.
It's not that these people are bad.
Rather, how should I put it, it's always been this way!
Now the Wu family is causing a commotion.
The group looked at each other.
There shouldn't be anything serious.
I can't say anything else, but no one will definitely die.
However, I definitely don't want to leave right now.
They wanted to see what was wrong with Aunt Wu!
The Wu family members also wanted to see what was going on.
The Wu family did not split up.
He had eight sons.
They initially fenced off a large area of land.
It covered a large area.
Back then, nobody had much money.
The houses built weren't very nice either.
A mud-brick house with thatched roof.
It is both short and low.
The clay bricks were made by our own molds, and the thatch was found by ourselves.
They even cut down the trees themselves in the forest.
To be honest, the Wu family can truly be described as having a large and prosperous population.
These dozen or so small mud houses were all built by the family without hiring anyone.
If we're talking about who contributed the most, it would definitely be the eldest son and his wife.
When the eldest son's family moved in, they started building a house.
After building it on and off for so long, it's finally finished.
It's a pity that the eldest son's family lives in the most remote and worst place, right next to a pigsty.
Hearing the commotion, the eldest son, Wu Liren, immediately got up and went out.
The eldest daughter-in-law, on the other hand, slowly packed her things, noticing that her daughters had all gotten up.
He instructed them, "Don't do anything today, just stay inside and rest!"
"Mom, will it work?"
Xiao Wu is the youngest and is also the most afraid of her grandmother.
He asked in a trembling voice.
The eldest daughter nodded in agreement, "I understand, Mom. Don't worry."
The eldest daughter-in-law, Lin Mei, pursed her lips.
She was the first to enter the family, but she had children later than the fourth son's family.
Why? It's because they're tired. The two before them were exhausted.
Both are boys.
Later, her family came and made a scene, which finally allowed her to do less work.
Unfortunately, all five were girls.
It's not that she doesn't love girls.
They're all my own children, how could I not feel pain?
The key is that this is a rural area, and you really can't do without a boy.
If it's about taking a son-in-law as a wife, really no good people are willing to come to your door.
Look at these beautiful children.
Lin Mei harbored deep resentment towards the two elderly people.
And that dead man.
This is the epitome of blind filial piety.
Lin Mei finished tidying up before leaving the house.
Their yard is very large, with several rows of houses surrounding it.
He had eight sons, each with two rooms.
There were many people in the house, so they even built an extra room for themselves.
She didn't cover it; what's the point of covering it?
The two old people had already spoken.
Their daughter has no share in this house.
From now on, they will all belong to their brothers.
Once outside, the stench from the pigsty was even stronger.
They've lived in this house ever since Hachi got married.
They stayed there for several years.
They are the ones who do the work, they are the ones who put in the effort.
It's time to eat; there's no more for them.
They said it was because there were many people in their family.
Don't let them sit at the table.
The dead man didn't say anything.
She tried to make a scene and even fought, but she couldn't win at all.
Why.
Why did they have to find someone like this?!
Wiping away her tears, Lin Mei went into the main room.
The old lady's house was already surrounded by people.
All eight sons were present.
Eight daughters-in-law were also gathered outside.
Her younger siblings smiled at her.
She knew that none of her younger siblings were bad people.
It's a benefit that's practically within reach, and you don't have to be the bad guy, so why not take advantage of it?
She understands.
The whole scene was spectacular.
It's just a bit noisy, like a flock of crows has entered the house, making a constant racket.
"Mom, what happened? Why is your face so swollen?"
"Mom, what happened? Mom, please say something! Oh my god, I'm so worried!"
"Dad, what exactly happened? Tell me!"
Everything was fine during dinner last night!
...
They chattered and made a lot of noise.
Lin Mei had been inside for quite some time, but she still hadn't seen the old lady's face.
I don't really believe what these filial sons say.
These people aren't exactly good people, but they are genuinely filial.
Unfortunately, they only talk the talk about filial piety; when it comes to anything, it's up to the daughters-in-law to handle it.
"Lin Mei, quickly find some water to wipe Mom's face. Her face is covered in blood, it looks terrible!"
Lin Mei thought to herself, "Just as I thought." Her husband's voice pierced through the crowd.
They had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and go out to fetch water.
"What's the use of just wiping? We'd better hurry up and find the barefoot doctor!"
"That's right, brother, what's the use of just wiping? You should go find someone!"
The brothers urged their leader to go find someone.
Wu Liren was honest and actually went.
Lin Mei looked at her husband's anxious appearance with cold indifference in her eyes.
