Chapter 44 How can you be sure that it is your son’s child?
When Mrs. Liu heard that Jiang Datou was going back to call for help, she was panicked for a moment, but then she thought that he was going back to call her daughter-in-law's sister-in-law over, and her panic immediately disappeared without a trace.
She sneered and said, "Yanzi, I used to think you were a smart person, but how come you, a smart person, still do stupid things?
Do you think Jiang Yu is yours? Don't you know what her family is like? Ask Da Tao to go back and ask her sister-in-law to come over. When Da Tao comes back alone later, I'm afraid she will laugh to death! "
Hearing this, Jiang Yu's pale face became even paler.
She gritted her teeth and whispered to Zhou Yan who was protecting her behind her: "Second sister-in-law, go back. I'm fine."
No matter how hard life gets, she can't drag down the people who care about her, especially since life won't get much worse for long.
Zhou Yan refused to move. She was equally unsure in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She said stubbornly, "What's the matter? You don't dare to hit your daughter-in-law because she has people backing her up, but you'll beat her to death if her family doesn't have anyone to support her, right?"
Mrs. Liu patted her skirt and said as a matter of course: "She is the daughter-in-law that my Liu family spent ten taels of silver to marry. It is her duty to be filial to her parents-in-law, serve her husband, and leave an heir for the Liu family. Now she has not done any of these things, so what's wrong with beating her?
Shouldn't she be beaten? Ask around the village and see if it's right for a mother-in-law to teach her daughter-in-law the rules!
Zhou Yan pretended not to know about Liu Sheng's widowed cousin and asked loudly, "It's not my Xiaoyu's fault that we couldn't leave an heir to the Liu family, right? Why don't you say it's your son's fault?
If one of them fails, it can be said to be the woman's fault, but if both fail, it can't be all the woman's fault, right? "
Shili Village is not far from Qili Village. It takes half an hour to walk there and back. Datou is a fast runner, so it takes about a cup of tea for him to run back. He has to go from house to house in the village to call people over, and adding to the things he has to talk about, it will take at least three cups of tea.
She had to buy time, no matter whether she could call for help or how many people she could call, at least she couldn't let Sister Xiaoyu be beaten by Mrs. Liu again during the time they came!
Old Lady Liu used to be so dwarfed when she talked about this, but now she straightened her back and said in a voice so loud that she wanted the whole village to hear: "Everyone, come and see, come, come and see!"
She waited until all the neighbors came out, stretched their heads outside the adobe wall to look inside, and said proudly: "Zhou Yan is a girl who married out, so it's normal for her not to know. I'm afraid there are other people in the village who don't know, so I'm telling them all today!
My son is in good health, there's nothing wrong with him. I've always said that infertility is the woman's fault, what does it have to do with the man? Now my sister's daughter is pregnant with my son's child. Everyone, tell me whose fault it is?
Zhou Yan reacted very quickly and blurted out, "I don't know whose problem it is, but how can you be sure that the baby in your belly is your son?
Liu Shengdu is already on his second marriage. It's okay that he's not good-looking, and he's not tall either. But your niece is interested in him, so why can't she be interested in other men?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers gathered in three layers outside the adobe wall and burst into laughter!
"Yes, Mrs. Liu, how do you know it's your son's?"
"What good can come of a widowed woman getting involved with her married cousin? Just because she says it's her, you really believe it?!
Especially since your previous daughter-in-law and Jiang Yu had been together for years without getting pregnant, and yet she was the only one who got pregnant?"
"I think what Yan Zi said is right. Liu Sheng is not good-looking and is short. What do girls want from him? Don't let him become a green-headed turtle!"
......
Everyone used to dislike Liu Po's arrogant attitude, especially when she beat her daughter-in-law to death - filial piety is a big thing, but beating someone to death is not an option, as that is a human life, isn't that a sin?
They intentionally or unintentionally used Liu Sheng's poor health as an excuse to pressure Mrs. Liu. Ever since Liu Sheng's widowed cousin became pregnant, Mrs. Liu immediately returned to her old attitude, and Jiang Yu's crying and begging for mercy were heard every few days.
When I heard Zhou Yan's words at this moment, I suddenly felt that it was very reasonable. Regardless of whether it was true or not, I would stand on Zhou Yan's side.
Old Lady Liu was so angry that she was choking. She patted her chest to calm down and angrily scolded, "You are just jealous! You can't bear to see my Liu family have an heir."
A woman in the room wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sobbed, "Cousin Sheng, besides the one before, you are the only one I have. You have to believe me."
Liu Sheng was extremely distressed. He stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her. "Of course I believe you! I'm in good health. It's definitely that Jiang Yu's problem, or your land is fertile, cousin."
Then he stood up angrily and cursed, "This woman Zhou Yan is too capable of making trouble. Her husband doesn't care about her. Today I will teach her a lesson on behalf of her husband!
Chuntao, wait for me in the room. After I take care of Zhou Yan, I'll let Jiang Yu come in and serve you!"
Wang Chuntao touched her belly and said shyly, "Okay, my son and I will wait for you."
It’s great that she not only found a father for her son, but also found a support for herself, especially this family who believed in him without a doubt.
She looked at the short and stocky figure with a flicker of disdain in her eyes. It was over in just two strokes. She didn't know where her cousin got the confidence to say he was fine...
·
Jiang Datou ran all the way, and he felt that taking a breath was a waste of time. He first rushed to his home and told his father and brother about Jiang Yu's leg being broken by the beating at her husband's house, and then quickly went to Shen Qing's house.
Yan Zi and Xiao Yu are still at the Liu family. Although Yan Zi is from Shili Village, there is no guarantee that the Liu family will get angry and start fighting.
Especially Yan Zi's mouth, he was really worried!
He rushed to Shen Qing's house and found that the courtyard door was locked. He banged on the wooden door so hard that it made a deafening noise and shouted anxiously, "Sister-in-law, Jiang Yu was beaten at Liu's house!
My legs are not walking properly, and I don’t know if they are broken or not. You should go and see what to do.”
Hearing the shout, Huo Bing rushed forward, opened the courtyard door, and asked anxiously, "Uncle Datao, what happened to my aunt?"
Jiang Datao was sweating profusely. He swallowed his dry throat and was about to open his mouth to explain the situation when he saw Shen Qing coming out of the house with a cold face. He ordered as he walked: "A Bing, don't ask. Go get some water and let your uncle Datao take a breath.
"Big brother, third brother, fourth brother, stop what you're doing and go to Second Master, Third Master, Fifth Master, and the other families in the village and tell them that your aunt was nearly beaten to death by the Liu family! Ask them to come and help us seek justice!"
You can't go to Jiangshui. Men have their own battlefields and women have their own things to do. You and your sister-in-law, Xiaoli, the three of you should help make as many pancakes and steamed buns as you can. The people who help you will come back later and need food.
Don’t save on noodles. Let them take any leftovers home. They can’t leave too much to eat!
All the existing chicken and duck eggs at home were boiled;
Also, prepare a set of clean clothes, boil a bucket of hot water, and wait at home for your mother to bring your aunt home."
