Chapter 41: Alliance
Shen Qing's father-in-law from Qili Village is the eldest son, Jiang Yang is the second son, and there is also the Third Master Jiang and the Fifth Master Jiang. The Fourth Master died when he was a child.
The eldest and the second son had few children, and Mr. Jiang was much better off than the eldest. Not only did he have two sons, but he also kept his daughter by his side. With each of them adding new members to their family and having their own children, there were almost twenty people in total, young and old.
The families of Mr. Jiang Sanye and Mr. Jiang Wuye are even more powerful. They are much younger and got married late. They have only a few married sons and even fewer grandchildren. However, they have so many children. Both families have six or seven children.
Even though several of his children are still young and unmarried, the total number of them is almost twenty. It's really a big family!
Shen Qing sat in the yard, looking at the people in the yard, and suddenly felt that his family of ten or so people was not too many.
"Come on, drink some water." Aunt Jiang San, Zhao Mingyue, smiled brightly as she handed the glass of water to Shen Qing. She lowered her voice and jokingly said, "I put some sugar in it. Just be sweet, but don't let the greedy cat at home know. Otherwise, my little stock won't last through the day!"
Shen Qing chuckled, quickly took it with both hands, and thanked her politely: "Thank you, Auntie, where is Uncle?"
Zhao Mingyue waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "He can't sit still, so he went out fishing. Leave him alone. You've finally come here, so let's have a good chat."
In the past, her niece-in-law had never been treated well by them even when they came to her house. But today, not only did she take the initiative to come to her house, she also brought a big bowl of fried meat, which shocked her more than the sun rising from the west!
She paused and asked uncertainly, "Do you have something to ask your Third Uncle?"
But what could possibly happen now? The fields didn't need irrigation, and they didn't need help grabbing water. It wasn't the busy farming season, and they didn't need to rush to harvest.
I haven't heard recently that any family has occupied my niece's wife's family's land and needs their family to help.
Besides, even if she wanted help, given her usual personality, she would never come to deliver things!
Shen Qing quickly shook his head, "It's okay, I just thought about bothering you all the time in the past, and now that my family has earned some money, I want to come and honor my uncle and aunt!"
Zhao Mingyue calmed down, his brows relaxed, and he said carelessly: "We are not too old, and we can still move our arms and legs to earn money. But you have worked hard to earn money, and the second, third, fourth, and sixth brothers are not married yet, so you have to be frugal!
We are all from the same family, and we help each other when we have something to do. There is no need to come here specially to express gratitude. Third Aunt will accept it this time, but please don’t spend money in the future.”
The eldest nephew is gone, and it is not easy for the niece-in-law to support the family alone. How can they, as the elders, eat her food anymore!
Shen Qing agreed with a smile, then frowned and said worriedly: "I always troubled my uncle's family in the past, and I feel bad about it. I may have to trouble him again in the future..."
Zhao Mingyue's heart skipped a beat, and before Shen Qing could finish, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What trouble have you run into?"
Shen Qing explained clearly and concisely: "It's not me, it's my sister-in-law Xiaoyu. Back then, the head of the family insisted on choosing the Liu family. I was always worried about this. I had a bad dream a few days ago. Well, it must be because of my wild imagination.
Just now at my second uncle's house, I asked Da Tao's wife to ask around when she returns to her parents' home. To be honest with Third Aunt, I'm really worried. I'm afraid if we find out that Xiao Yu isn't doing well, then we, her family, will have to support her."
In this day and age, amicable divorce is the best; you can take your dowry home, your reputation will be good, and it won’t affect the marriages of your own children.
If a woman is divorced, she will have nothing and her reputation will be ruined. If a woman is divorced and comes back to her family, it will even affect the reputation of the daughters of the entire family.
Therefore, when things get tough, the natal family is crucial. Those who are despised and neglected are like the first daughter-in-law of the Liu family. She had no home to return to and was tortured to death by her in-laws.
Jiang Yu in the dream probably had the same ending.
But if the woman's family is willing to support her, especially if she has many brothers, it will be completely different. They can just beat up the Liu family and force them to agree to not only a divorce letter but also a divorce!
If you don’t agree, fine, let me beat you up again. If two meals are not enough, I’ll beat you up three times!
Isn't Liu Sheng going to keep dragging Jiang Yu around? Doesn't he beat his wife every other day? Fine, she'll let him have a taste of being beaten too!
Anyway, if the son-in-law is beaten by the wife's family before the divorce, it is a family matter. If you don't report it to the government, the government won't do anything about it. It's fair.
If they report to the police, they will be beaten with thirty sticks first. It depends on whether they are willing or able to withstand the beatings.
Hearing that it was Jiang Yu's matter, Zhao Mingyue stood up excitedly and cursed angrily: "The Liu family is a den of tigers and wolves! It's not a place for human beings to stay. Every time Xiaoyu sees me alone, she can't stop crying. I can see without asking, it must be bad!"
After thinking about it, Shen Qing meant that it was his nephew's idea in the first place.
No wonder she said that her nephew, a grown man, couldn't even take care of the household, and she was his own sister. It turned out that the women in the family were taking the blame!
Oh, why doesn’t God send down a thunderbolt to split his grave!
She looked at Shen Qing again, patted her hands and promised: "Qingqing, as long as you are willing to support Xiaoyu, you don't have to lift a finger when you get to the Liu family. I can take care of your third aunt's family and your fifth aunt's family. There are more than a dozen men, and you can hit them wherever you point!
Third Aunt is going too. Isn't there Liu Sheng's mother? When the time comes, the men won't be able to fight with the women, so Third Aunt will go and tear them apart!"
Shen Qing didn't expect Zhao Mingyue to be so strong in combat. He was so surprised that he didn't know what to say. It seemed that Zhao Mingyue had even planned how to fight.
Zhao Mingyue thought about it and added, "Your Fifth Aunt won't be able to do that. She's not good at talking and can't win an argument, so she can just help hold my arms and legs. But don't worry, Third Aunt has some good friends, and she'll scold me if she gets angry! I'll call them all!"
In the past, Shen Qing, their sister-in-law, was unwilling to step forward, so they could only hold back their heartache. Now that Shen Qing is willing to step forward, humph, the Liu family will just have to wait and see~
Shen Qing: .....She felt that there was no need to go to other families, having Aunt San was enough.
Zhao Mingyue was reluctant to see Shen Qing off. If she hadn't said that she still had to go to Lao Wu's house, she would have wanted to pull her aside for a long chat.
With Zhao Mingyue around, Shen Qing ran very quickly and basically just went through the motions.
Uncle Jiang Wu was also not at home. Aunt Wu was just as Zhao Mingyue had said, shy and reserved. When he saw her, a junior, he was so uneasy that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Shen Qing delivered the things and came out quickly.
There were also three bowls of crispy pork, which Shen Qing gave to the Guan, Qin and Feng families.
The Guan family goes without saying;
The reason why she was in the Qin family was because when Sun Xiaomai and Zhou Chuncao had trouble with her, Granny Qin spoke up for her and because the Qin family was honest and simple, and they were decent people;
The Feng family is an outsider family, and both men and women in their family know some martial arts.
When it comes time to flee, these three families can be combined into a team.
