Chapter 69: Beating the gongs and drums and splashing dirty water
When Xingxing arrived, Yamei was sitting on the doorstep putting on her shoes. Her little face was red from the sun and she looked very healthy.
Xing Xing called out in surprise: "Ya Ya, how are you?"
"Okay, okay, I'm fine!" Yamei gave Xingxing a big hug and said happily, "I was just planning to go out and play with you!"
Xing Xing looked around and asked: "Where are your father and the others?"
Ya Mei'er was obviously happy: "My father sent that woman and her daughter back!"
Xing Xing tilted her head and asked, "Send it back, where did you send it to?"
Ya Mei'er obviously had some difficulty answering, and could only point to the location of the village where the Mao family lived before, "Sent her back there! My father said that Sister Afu wanted to kill me, and he dared not let Sister Afu stay at home!"
"That's great!" Xingxing felt happy for Yamei'er.
Ju Ge'er waited impatiently with his arms folded. Seeing the two little girls still happy, he urged them, "Are you still going out to play?"
"Go, go, go!" Yamei had been lying at home for three days and was already bored to death.
"But my grandma said that we can only play near the village and not go to places near the mountains." Ju Ge'er acted like a boss and said, "You all have to listen to me and don't act naughty!"
Xing Xing and Ya Mei'er responded in unison: "Got it!"
Brother Ju'er's sense of accomplishment is simply overwhelming!
My sister is very obedient! My sister's friends are also very obedient!
Ju Ge'er walked in front with a proud manner. Xing Xing and Ya Mei'er thought Ju Ge'er was a little strange, but they still followed him to play in the village.
The three of them chose a rock to hide under and started playing hide-and-seek.
Just when they were having fun, they heard someone knocking on a copper bell. After knocking twice, they shouted at the top of their voices: "Hey! Walk around and listen! There is a family in your village that is really strange! They have detained someone else's daughter-in-law at home and refused to let her go no matter what. How shameless!... What's worse is that when the victim came to their house to ask for her daughter-in-law, they actually beat her up! How shameless!"
Xingxing was hiding behind a rock. She moved her ears and felt something was wrong.
Ya Mei'er was very excited when she heard this: "Whose family is this gong player talking about?"
Brother Ju was a little unsure.
They probably wouldn't say it's their family, right?!
No way!
However, the man who struck the gong not only struck the gong and shouted at the same time, attracting many villagers from Nantuo Village to come and watch, but even Zhao's father and mother added fuel to the fire: "...We are at our wits' end. Our daughter has signed a marriage certificate with that boy, and it was agreed that they would marry their daughter to our family. But the daughter of that family who married out wanted to make trouble and locked my sister up in the Yu family in your village, and would not let us take her away no matter what!"
The man who was striking the oar struck the oar vigorously and echoed, "This Yu family is truly shameless!"
Yu family?!
Isn't this naming names? !
Ju Ge'er was so angry: "Nonsense! This is all nonsense!"
Xingxing became even angrier!
In her heart, the Yu family is more important than anything else, and this person actually cursed her family!
Ya Mei'er was still confused and asked, "Hey, the family they scolded is also named Yu?"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Xing Xing and Ju Ge'er running out.
Brother Ju even picked up a stone and threw it at the man who was hammering the gong, saying angrily, "You are talking nonsense!"
Xing Xing tried to repeat loudly: "Yes, you are talking nonsense!"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao recognized that Ju Ge'er and Xing Xing were the children of the Yu family, but they were already old and it was not appropriate for them to bother with two little kids.
In their hearts, they did not take Ju Ge'er and Xing Xing seriously, and even thought that these two kids looked no more than three or four years old, and could not even speak fluently, so it would be better to guide the conversation and make this matter a reality for their status as members of the Yu family.
Mother Zhao rolled her eyes and sneered: "Who did I think it was? Isn't this the child of the Yu family? ... You said we were talking nonsense. Well, let me ask you, is Li Donghua in your house? Are you trying to stop us from taking Li Donghua away? Did your family beat our family members before?"
Ju Ge'er was stunned for a moment. Although he felt that the answer seemed to be "yes", he instinctively felt that the auntie opposite him was not good enough and he could not answer this question!
Just as Ju Ge'er was about to retort "It's none of your business", he saw Xing Xing pulling his arm and standing out!
Xing Xing raised her head and yelled at them with all her strength, her voice trembling a little: "...Aunt Donghua is in our house because you forced her to get married! You are bad people! We definitely can't hand Aunt Donghua over to you!"
The Yu family had a very good reputation in Nantuo Village. The villagers of Nantuo Village had originally joined in the fun by banging the gongs and shouting. When they heard Xingxing's words, they understood that there was indeed something going on.
Mother Zhao's face changed. She had never thought that this three or four-year-old baby could speak so clearly. She couldn't scold the three or four-year-old baby back, so she could only sneer and said, "What do you know, little brat?"
"Hey, when you were asking those little brats questions just now, why didn't you say what they knew?" A villager pointed at Zhao's father and mother and sneered, "Don't tell me that you can't even talk to a three-year-old baby?!"
Mother Zhao's face darkened: "Who said that?!"
The villagers were still laughing and ignoring Zhao's mother.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao came here today with the intention of first ruining the Yu family's reputation and then taking advantage of the gossip in the village to force the Yu family to hand over Li Donghua.
But who would have thought that before the matter was even halfway done, two babies would actually hold it back?!
Just tell me if this is infuriating!
Mother Zhao sneered in anger: "I think the Yu family hid Li Donghua to marry her off to that idiot in their family! Don't they also have an idiot in their family who hasn't married yet?!"
The faces of some villagers who were on good terms with the Yu family changed.
That's too harsh!
However, neither Xing Xing nor Ju Ge'er understood what was said.
Because they all felt that their fourth uncle was just as innocent as a child, not a fool.
All I heard was a roar: "You are a bitch who can keep a bitch, I will tear your mouth off now!"
Mother Wei, who came upon hearing the news, happened to hear what Zhao's mother said, and she exploded with anger!
With bloodshot eyes, Mrs. Wei rushed forward and grabbed Zhao's mother's face fiercely!
Mother Zhao had never expected that Mrs. Wei would attack right away. She was horrified. This shrew! Didn't she care about her image in the village?
This thought flashed through her mind, and Zhao's mother no longer had time to think about anything else - her face had been scratched several times by Mrs. Wei, and she was already bleeding!
Mother Zhao screamed!
Father Zhao yelled, "You slut!"
He went up and started to fight with Mrs. Wei.
However, the villagers of Nantuo Village quickly joined the battle, pulling both sides together and saying, "Stop fighting, stop fighting."
In fact, he was pulling Zhao's father and mother, as well as the man who was beating the oar, to prevent them from attacking Wei Pozi, which clearly showed that he was taking sides.
Mother Wei took the opportunity to beat up Zhao's mother and father a few more times!
This is what makes me feel relieved!
