Chapter 20 If she married...
Hui Niang stepped back repeatedly, almost losing her balance.
The word "beast" made her eyes red, and her fingertips trembled with anger.
She couldn't bear to hear any insulting words from Zhuang Mei's mouth.
"Don't go too far."
After Zhuang Mei's fuss, everyone looked over.
However, Zhuang Mei was not ashamed but proud, holding her chin high.
"Mom lives with us, and you don't even give her money as a filial gift. How can you be so shameless? We are not the only sons of Shoucai!"
"I want to see what you bought!"
Zhuang Mei rushed over and lifted the basket covered with cloth by Hui Niang.
When she saw the few bones with the meat shaved off and the shabby pig intestines in it, her eyes were filled with contempt, and she stepped back a few steps in disgust.
"How can you eat something that no one wants? What, have you run out of money? Are you going to cry poor again?"
"I'm telling you, don't come to the big house to borrow money. We don't want to block your bottomless pit."
She deliberately scared Hui Niang: "I thought I would suffer a little because of your pity. But everyone is here today, so I'll say this. When Wei Shen dies, if you turn around and kneel down to beg me again, I will not agree to adopt my son to my family."
Her words only pierced people's hearts.
Hui Niang's face turned pale.
At this moment, a clear and pleasant laugh was heard.
Everyone looked over blankly.
Yu Tingwan said perfunctorily: "I'm sorry."
"I couldn't help it when I saw someone with a thick skin."
Zhuang Mei glared at him.
She knew that Yu Tingwan's mouth was powerful. Just as she was about to scold, she was stopped by Wang who came to buy pig blood.
"Don't bother with her."
Wang sneered: "She didn't call you. If you care about it, she will just say nothing and tell you not to take it personally. You will be a joke."
She knew all the tricks of Yu Tingwan very well!
Zhuang Mei thought it made sense.
But Yu Tingwan said slowly.
"But..."
She didn't play by the rules: "I'm talking about her."
Wang:? ? ?
Zhuang Mei:!!!
She rolled up her sleeves and said: "You little bitch..."
The head of the village came out of the room.
"What are you arguing about?"
The only people who didn't need to save face for Zhuang Mei here were Yu Tingwan and the head of the village. Yu Tingwan was stubborn, and the head of the village was old and had a high status.
"Is what Wan Niang said wrong? Have you forgotten how you knelt on the ground to beg Hui Niang? Are you ashamed?"
"You didn't want your son to be conscripted, so you paid the constable who came to the government office to register to drink, and directly put your nephew's name on it. If I didn't mention what happened back then, would you have forgotten it? How can you have the nerve to argue with her here?"
When he mentioned it, the older women also remembered it.
It was also a snowy day back then.
Zhuang Mei was not as arrogant as she is now. It was rare for her to kneel down in front of Hui Niang who was almost collapsed.
["I was wrong about this, but I can't help it. Being a soldier is so hard. If you are not careful, you will die. Your Wei Shen jumps up and down all day long, and he can even go to the river to catch fish. You can see at a glance that he is a good candidate for martial arts."]
Hui Niang, who was the most gentle, raised her hand and slapped her hard like crazy.
["Then does my A Lang deserve it?"
["You can't bear to let your son die, so you push A Lang out? 】
Wei Shen is two years younger than Wei Qintian
. Zhuang Mei's face changed.
"This... It happened so many years ago, what's there to mention."
Seeing this, some people shook their heads.
"So he knows he's guilty."
"It's been a while since Wei's Alang came back, but I haven't seen their eldest wife visit him. It's really not fair."
"Yes, Qintian is married now and has become a father. But his cousin was injured like that..."
Under the premise that no interests are involved, the head of the village is still very fair and willing to uphold justice.
He sank his face: "God is watching what people do, aren't you afraid of retribution? That's not how you get rid of a family."
Zhuang Mei was dissatisfied: "But it's not a big deal for women to quarrel with each other."
"You are the head of the village, and you can't interfere."
The head of the village was not angry, and he was too lazy to bother with such unreasonable people.
"If you are not convinced, let your man come and argue with me!"
"Your mother-in-law is the same. The kid from the Wei family needs to rest. Is she acting like a grandmother if she goes there to make noise every day?"
How could Zhuang Mei bear this anger? She stamped her feet and said harsh words to Hui Niang.
"Just wait."
What's so great about the head of the village!
She turned around and ran out, going back to find someone to support her.
Yu Tingwan was thoughtful.
It is not difficult to see how much Wei Shouzhong and his wife value Wei Shen these days.
She was just wondering.
"If the name is wrong, you can go to the government office to report it."
Why did Wei Shen take the blame in the end?
Li Lian, who was closest to her, shook his head when he heard this: "It's not that simple."
Seeing the girl's eyes looking at him, Li Lian was willing to explain to her: "At the beginning, the Shoucai couple and Old Lady Wei kept it a secret."
When the time came, those on the list had to go to the government office, and then the government office would send them up together. The superiors would
conduct concentrated exercises, and the various military camps would send people to select them one after another, and those who were selected would be taken away.
"On the day we went to the government office, the eldest wife and her husband accompanied us. Old Lady Wei said that they were brothers, so she asked Wei Shen to go with them to see them off." Who would have thought
that there would be tricks and calculations in this?
Who would have thought that Wei Shen would never come back.
And Wei Qintian, who was supposed to go to the conscription, came back with his parents.
"When Hui Niang chased to the government office, Wei Shen had already been sent away."
"What can you do about this?"
Yu Tingwan understood.
But the granddaughter-in-law holding the child at the head of the village was confused: "Why can't we go to the government office to make trouble?"
Without Li Lian's explanation, Yu Tingwan said in a gentle voice: "Conscription is not a trivial matter. If the wrong person is made, it is also considered as dereliction of duty by the county magistrate. How could he take this case?"
"If Aunt Hui and the others don't care, they are really capable of making trouble in the military camp. I'm afraid that the Wei family will also lose their heads."
And the Wei family did not split up. The second house will not benefit from this matter. "It is a foregone conclusion that Wei Shen will go to the military camp and it cannot be changed. Aunt Hui also has a daughter. It is because Mrs. Wei calculated these two points that she dared to be so bold." Li Lian was surprised that Yu Tingwan saw things thoroughly and understood them at once. She sighed: "If you were a man, I'm afraid you would be no worse than Yaozu." Yu Tingwan smiled and thought about it. So on the third day, the neighbors made pickled cabbage and pig intestines. I don't know how Hui Niang made it, there was no strange smell at all. The fragrance was extremely overbearing and went straight into Yu Tingwan's nose. It seemed to be delicious, which aroused her appetite. The mushrooms were all gone, and there was only boiled wild vegetables at home. The wild vegetables had wilted after being stored for too long. They were tasteless. She held the small broken pot and sat down in the yard. Looking in the direction of the next door, she could only see a high wall separating the two houses. The little girl was dejected and fell into a long silence. For the first time, she had an idea that she shouldn't have. If she married Wei Shen, would she also be able to eat pig intestines?
