Yes, the conditions I put forward are very harsh, but I am worth it. I just want everyone to know that I, a widow, am also valuable.
I want men to understand that I am the one you paid so much to marry, and if you dare to touch me or harass me, I will run away. ”
Qiao Jiangxin opened her mouth slightly. For rural women of that era, it was a little unbelievable that Qin Xue was sober.
If the target was not his uncle, Qiao Jiangxin would even want to applaud Qin Xue's courage.
If she had been as sober as Qin Xue in her previous life, she wouldn't have ended up like that...
Uncle Qiao Youfu and nephew left Xujiadong, and neither of them spoke much.
Qiao Jiangxin turned his head to look at Qiao Youfu and asked nervously, "Uncle, what did Grandma Xu say to you?"
Qiao Youfu sighed, "She said that your Aunt Qin used to live with your stepfather and almost died several times. She said that she was a good person and she remembered all the kindness you showed her. She said that she was not easily afraid of being schemed against..."
Qiao Jiangxin always felt that Qin Xue seemed to be hiding some secret.
"Uncle, please drive the ox cart to the front and wait for me. I'll ask someone for directions." Qiao Jiangxin jumped off the cart and ran towards the house of the aunt who had just come into the village to ask for directions.
"Auntie, auntie~"
The woman looked up at Qiao Jiangxin.
Her many years of experience in gossiping gave her a shock and she came to life.
Qiao Jiangxin didn't beat around the bush. "Aunt, I just went to Aunt Qin's house to thank her, and there was a quarrel going on in her family."
The woman's eyes lit up, and she quickly moved towards Qiao Jiangxin, subconsciously lowering her voice, "What are you arguing about? How can a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel?"
Qiao Jiangxin was also curious, "Then grandma asked Aunt Qin to get married, and Aunt Qin cried, saying that people's hearts are dirty, and that Zhuzi had an accident before the New Year?"
The woman immediately took over the conversation, "Oh, what a sin! You people from other villages may not know that the widow Qin has been a widow for 100 years.
Think about it, she was still young 100 years ago, with a pretty face and a nice figure, but there was no man in her family, no uncles or aunts, and her mother's family was not good either. I heard that her mother's family had no father either, and her mother was a stepmother.
Just last year, a cousin of her husband's was born in their Xu family. Yes, he was her husband's cousin, named Xu Xu Gou. I don't know if it was because the widow Qin couldn't keep him secret for several years anymore, so Xu Gou's wife came out and said that they were having an affair.
Then the man beat his wife half to death, blaming her for talking nonsense and bringing shame upon herself, and said he wanted a divorce. His wife had a strong temper and couldn't stand it, so she secretly drank rat poison in the middle of the night and died. ”
The woman sighed and continued, "Hey, it's been less than a month since the man left, and the dog came to the door. It means that you are a widow and I am a widower, and we can just get along.
Widow Qin was unwilling to do so. Although her wife was dead, she still left behind three children. The eldest was already ten years old. The three children hated Widow Qin to death and told everyone that Widow Qin had forced their mother to death.
People who carried water would throw stones into her water, bring harm to her family's farm, and whenever they saw her they would swear at her and call her a whore or a vixen. If it weren't for the two old men from the Xu family protecting her, she would have been beaten to death long ago.
During the grain payment period last year, the old man from the Xu family was protecting the widow Qin, and was hit on the waist with a carrying pole by the eldest brother of the Gou family. He had to lie in bed for a month.
At the end of the year, her son Zhuzi was thrown into a cellar in the back mountain and froze for a night. He fell seriously ill and almost died. Many people suspected that it was the child of the Gou family who did it, but there was no evidence.
Liao Fuzhen went around saying that Widow Qin was innocent, and that it was the dog that molested Widow Qin and was caught by his wife, which led to the incident.
But her wife was dead, and the three children hated her to death. Besides, Gouzi had always wanted to marry the widow Qin.
This must be because the widow Qin herself was not decent and faithful to her husband, and she did something to make Gouzi misunderstand her. Otherwise, why would he go to the widow Qin instead of someone else?
It is also possible that she couldn't control herself and wanted to tease the dog, but was discovered by the dog's wife and caused a death. Seeing the attitude of the dog's three children, she didn't dare to enter the house. Don't you think this is harming people? ”
