……………………
Dayinchao Luoshui Town Xiaoshi Village, Xie family at the entrance of the village.
"Please give my brother some medicine. He has been in a coma for three days. If you don't give him medicine..."
"Please save my brother!"
"Please save my brother! We will definitely work harder in the future!"
"So noisy—"
Xie Shuangbai had a splitting headache because of the noise. He opened his eyes painfully and looked at the dilapidated roof above his head with a confused look on his face.
"Where is this?"
"I...amn't I dead?"
Before he could see his surroundings clearly, he felt dizzy and lay there drowsy, his ears attracted by the noisy sounds outside the door again.
"Please, please, mother, please get my brother some medicine!"
The three thin girls on the ground kowtowed desperately and begged bitterly.
Huang was annoyed by the three men's harassment, and she also thought about the fact that the marriage she had arranged for the sick boy had fallen through, and the 20 taels of silver she had obtained was wasted.
He was so angry that he kicked them hard several times and cursed:
"You guys are losing money, and you still dare to cry? Wait and see how I deal with you later. I'm telling you, not only will I not buy him medicine, I'll kick him out!"
The three girls crying on the ground were so frightened when they heard this, and then they cried even louder after they realized what was happening.
"My brother is only breathing his last breath. If he is kicked out now, then only... only..."
The terrified girl on the ground didn't dare to say the word "death".
Huang was relieved to see that they were frightened. She knew that if Chu Qiuqiu was driven out, he would die soon given his sickly body.
The son of this vixen woman should die quickly!
"Go pack his bags now and tell him to get out of here!"
The Xie family's house was at the entrance of the village, not far from the big locust tree. Huang had a loud voice, and those with good ears heard the noise. They gathered with a few people who liked to watch the fun and went to the Xie family's house to see what was going on.
Speaking of the Xie family, they are also famous in the surrounding villages, mainly because the Xie family produced two scholars, both of whom were extremely handsome.
Mr. Xie passed away some time ago, leaving behind Mr. Xie Xiaoxiucai and his three younger sisters.
"It's a pity for Mr. Xie to have such a stepmother."
"Who says it's not true? In the end, it's all Mr. Xie's fault."
"So when looking for a man, you should look for a real one. Forget about those who have only looks but no brains." said a newly married young woman.
"I think you're just saying the grapes are sour because you can't have them."
The young woman who was exposed said angrily: "I think you are the one."
These words probably expressed the feelings of the women in the village.
The second wife that Xie Xiucai found, Huang, was of average appearance and behaved rudely. She was obviously a shrew, but she also wanted to imitate the wives of scholars in the city.
She never looked people in the eye all day long and pretended to be nothing but a joke in the eyes of the villagers.
Everyone arrived at the Xie family's door tacitly.
The Xie family is also the only family in the village that has built a blue brick and tile house, which makes everyone envious.
An aunt glanced into the yard, but couldn't see clearly, it looked like several maids were kneeling on the ground crying.
This aunt was also kindhearted and hated to see children being bullied. She shouted, "Xie Huang, I heard someone crying. Are you hitting the child?"
When the villagers heard about beating children, they sighed again.
"Xie Xiucai's ex-wife, Bai, is so miserable, and the child is even more miserable now."
Speaking of the Bai family, they are simply the epitome of beauty and kindness.
In my memory, she always spoke softly and loved to smile at the villagers. Except for those sour ones, almost no one said a bad word about her. Even the most picky Widow Wang couldn't say a word against her.
But he was unlucky and met Mr. Xie, who worked him to death.
"Xie Huang, the boy's father just passed away, you can't be so unkind!" another aunt shouted angrily.
The door slammed open, and Huang stood at the door, pinching her waist and cursing:
"Bah, I'm not authentic. I raised the four of them with good food and drink, how can I be authentic?"
"Those of you who are standing and talking don't have a sore back. If you have the ability, take your family and raise them!"
"Oh my God! I have such a miserable life! As soon as that woman left, the villagers came to bully us, an orphan and a widow!
Being a stepmother is so hard! As soon as I married in, I had to take care of four children who only cared about eating. They didn't starve to death all these years because of my kindness! It's hard to be a good person, and it's hard to be a stepmother. I can't live like this anymore!
The women at the door were all stunned by Huang's speech.
What a shrew who confuses right and wrong.
Do you really think that all the villagers are fools?
Anyone with eyes could see that Xie Xiaoxiucai was as thin as a bamboo pole, not to mention the three maids, who were pale and skinny, like refugees.
Although every household was having a hard time, they would not let their children starve to the point of being skin and bones. Moreover, the scholar heard that there was subsidy money, so why would he let people starve to such an extent?
The two I gave birth to were fed like pigs.
The aunties were angry at being scolded. Just as they were about to say something, a fat girl ran out of the door and retorted to the women rudely:
"I don't know how much money we've spent supporting these four burdens! And now we're being scolded by you! You're all just village women, clueless and ignorant!"
This fat girl was none other than Huang's daughter Xie Jiaorui.
The aunts were so angry that they were scolded by Huang before they could say anything. Now even a little girl dared to point at them and lecture them. They immediately scolded back:
"Bah! You thought everyone didn't know, you black-hearted vicious woman, bullying Xie Xiaoxiucai because he has no parents, playing tricks on them, and pretending we didn't see anything!"
"That's right, you fat as a pig, you have the nerve to call us ignorant. You've been imitating your mother all day long. Be careful that you won't be able to find a husband in the future!"
"At such a young age, she's so ambitious and vicious. It's a wonder she can find a good family. I have to have a good talk with my mother's village. In the future, we can't accept Xie Xiucai's second wife from Xiaoshi Village. She's ugly and has a bad heart, so she's not a good person!"
The aunts were also very tough and scolded Xie Jiaorui severely.
Huang and Xie Jiaorui were so angry that they quarreled with several village women and then slammed the door.
He turned around and went back to the yard. Seeing the three people still kneeling on the ground and paying compensation, he went up and kicked each of them. Xie Jiaorui followed suit and kicked each of them.
The skinny girls who were kicked to the ground trembled and kowtowed again, begging desperately:
"We must work harder and eat less from now on. No, we won't eat, we'll just drink water, only water, please! If Big Brother is kicked out now, then...!"
The girls didn't dare to speak and could only cry and beg.
Xie Jiaorui looked at the faces of the women and thought of what the aunties had just said. She was furious and without saying a word, she pushed away the thin girl who was desperately begging for mercy: "Which one is your mother? Which one is the mother of these vixens of yours? Your vixen mother died a long time ago!"
Xie Shuangbai listened to the conversation outside in a daze.
He...he traveled through time?
