Chapter 12
Beating Hard Aunt Li is indeed a gossip-monger. She has found out all the women who gossip with Song Chunfang.
These people are all outsiders who fled from famine.
Humph, living in the Lu family's house, farming the Lu family's land, and still gossiping about them!
Aunt Li is even more angry than Dihua, and she can't stand it. How can people be so ungrateful?
If it weren't for Mr. Lu Er exempting the rent, she and her two sisters would have starved to death!
The Lu family opened a big carriage inn, hired workers, gave them food and wages, never beat or scolded them, and even distributed cotton clothes in winter and helped the family in disaster years.
Aunt Li felt that if the old workers still resented it, they really had no conscience. People should not lose their conscience!
Fortunately, these women are all outsiders and have no relationship with the Lu family.
Fang Dihua thought about it and realized that the third daughter-in-law and Song Chunfang must have no grudges. Lin Shu was just a punching bag. She was the only one who was angry, not the one who took the initiative to anger others. Song Chunfang was angry because of what happened in the past.
Back then, Song Chunfang fell in love with the eldest brother Lu and wanted to marry him. She also asked her parents to find someone to mediate.
Fang Dihua understood her eldest son's temperament and wanted to find a powerful woman to suppress him. Song Chunfang's physique was that of an ordinary person. She looked okay, but she did not meet Fang Dihua's standards for choosing a daughter-in-law.
Later, Song Chunfang married Chang Dazhi, the eldest son of Changtou
. Changtou had also studied in a private school for a few days. He always compared himself with Lu Laodi, and even wanted to compare his wife with Fang Dihua.
Fang Dihua looked down on him.
What was he comparing?
Even if Changtou and his wife were tied together, they would not be enough for her to beat. Changtou
and his children were not as tall as her, not to mention her old man!
After Song Chunfang got married, she often visited Lu's house and chatted with the eldest daughter-in-law. Her eyes intentionally or unintentionally flirted with the eldest daughter-in-law. The
eldest daughter-in-law was so stupid that she could not see it. She even praised her for having good taste like her and she could also cherish her own man. She took the initiative to talk to Song Chunfang about the good of the eldest daughter-in-law.
Fang Dihua couldn't bear to watch and suggested the eldest son's wife several times, but the fool was a fool and thought it was nothing.
Later, Song Chunfang took the initiative to introduce wives to the second and third sons.
Fang Dihua thought she was too controlling and stabbed her twice in her words, but she didn't back down and kept coming to the door.
It was not until the second son's wife came in and knew that Song Chunfang had wanted to marry her cousin to the second son that she looked at her very displeased and ridiculed her twice that she stopped coming to the Lu family.
I didn't expect that she would gossip behind their backs.
In fact, Fang Dihua also knew that Lao Changtou and Song Chunfang liked to hide behind the house and eavesdrop, but they lived behind the house, so it was okay for them to stroll or stand there.
So Fang Dihua and Old Man Lu developed the habit of talking in a low voice in the house.
The eldest couple lived in the east, and the eldest daughter-in-law had a loud voice,
so their chatter was often overheard. But the eldest daughter-in-law and the eldest son talked privately about their children or the couple's affairs, or the eldest son made fun of her, and it was not necessarily that there was anything private and scary.
Well, Fang Dihua did not dare to let the eldest daughter-in-law know about private and scary things.
Fang Dihua really couldn't figure out why Song Chunfang hated Lin Shu so much. There was obviously no direct grudge between them, but she made up such rumors that could kill her.
Not to mention that the rumors outside were like knives, and not to mention that the people at home had a grudge against her, but she herself would be suffocated to death if she heard them day after day.
Fang Dihua was already upset because her son had been away from home for several years after his wedding. Now that her son's life or death was unknown, she was even more depressed and angry. She also felt that the Lu family owed Lin Shu something. Coupled with her supernatural suspicions, Fang Dihua now responded to Lin Shu's requests and would not allow anyone to hurt her.
Now Song Chunfang, that asshole, actually wanted to bully Lin Shu with her sharp tongue. Fang Dihua felt two fires rising from her armpits. She really wanted to kill Song Chunfang alive!
No wonder the third daughter-in-law has been mentally unstable these days. It turns out that it was all Song Chunfang's fault.
Fang Dihua asked for leave from the team leader with a sullen face and turned around to walk back.
Mrs. Lu saw this and asked hurriedly, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Fang Dihua thought for half a second and decided not to let them follow her and delay her work.
It was just a matter of dealing with Song Chunfang. She didn't need anyone's help and went straight to the house to kill that bitch!
"It's okay, just do your work!"
She picked up the hoe and walked away with great vigor. Auntie Li couldn't catch up with her even if her feet were on fire.
Auntie Li: "Second Madam, wait for me! I'll go with you!"
Fang Dihua had already walked a long way.
Auntie Li had to chase her desperately. Some people who met her on the road asked curiously what was going on.
Auntie Li saw that it was an old friend of the Lu family, so she didn't hide it and immediately went to help Fang Dihua.
When the women heard this, they stopped going to the fields and ran to Song Chunfang's house. Soon, they gathered a few old women who didn't work in the fields.
In those days, there were no sound laws like in later generations. Conflicts in the village were always resolved by themselves. If they couldn't win the argument, they would fight. As long as no one was killed, at most the village cadres and elders would help to mediate.
There was no habit of filing a complaint, no idea, and no time.
Winning the fight!
At this time, the sun was still in the southeast. Lin Shu was sitting in the main room, listening to Song Chunfang's rumors while making shoes.
The soles of this pair of shoes were ready, and she only needed to put on the uppers.
Lu Ersao and her feet were the same size, but her feet were thinner than Lu Ersao's, and Lu Ersao's feet were two fingers wider than hers, so she deliberately made the shoes thinner.
She gestured, and when it was done, she could put on the feet.
Song Chunfang was talking loudly in the back of the house. Several women who were not working surrounded her and chattered, and they talked to Lin Shu recklessly.
"I heard that the wife of Old Wang in Houtun just died, and I wanted to talk to Fang Dihua about it."
"Old Wang in Houtun? Didn't his old wife die? He is over 40, right?"
"So what? A man is in his prime at 41, and she is useless after giving birth to two children. She can only marry an old man. Could it be that she wants to marry a first-married young man? Tsk, you are dreaming!"
"The second aunt may not marry her off."
"If she doesn't marry off, will she stay at home and flirt with the two uncles?"
"Everyone says she's thin-skinned, but I haven't seen her trying to commit suicide. She's just staying at home?"
"Not really, what's the point of being thin-skinned? She just wants to hook up with men."
Lin Shu: These maggots! The original owner was driven to death by their mental attacks day by day!
Wait for me!
These two days, she has been secretly sending signals to her mother-in-law that someone is saying bad things about her behind the house, and she feels uncomfortable.
Fang Dihua also secretly gave her five yuan, wanting her to go to the city to find her second sister to take her to the hospital. Of course Lin Shu refused, but her eyes were visibly red, and I felt sorry for her.
The women behind the house became more and more presumptuous and their mouths were dirty.
When Lin Shu wanted to go to the back to make a fuss, Fang Dihua's roar suddenly came from the back of the house: "You whore should be put in a pig cage, you have a rotten tongue and you will get sores and pus if you don't spread rumors, right? You are a black-hearted and rotten-lung thing. You don't bring honor to your ancestors and don't accumulate virtue for your own children. I see that you don't want to bury you in Lu's manor after you die, you should be thrown out to feed wild dogs!"
The most poisonous oath at this time is to die without a burial place.
Several women were scared like quails in an instant!
They never thought that Fang Dihua would appear at this time, because they knew very well that she would go home at noon to bring lunch, and it was impossible for her to come back at this time.
Besides, even if she came back halfway, they would see her passing by the alley. She shouldn't appear suddenly!
Where did she come from?
Several women scattered and tried to run away.
How could Fang Dihua let them get away!
She turned the hoe over, held the iron hoe herself, and hit Song Chunfang's shoulder with a stick!
Song Chunfang covered her head and ran away, and then was hit hard on the leg with a stick. She screamed and fell to the ground, "Mom, someone is being killed, help me..."
The other women fled two to the east and two to the west, all in a panic.
Fang Dihua knocked down two of them with a stick, and the other two going east were blocked by Aunt Li and several women.
Those women also took sticks from the haystacks on the side of the road, avoided the head and started to hit and beat!
The two women were knocked to the ground, holding their heads and screaming for mercy, "Don't hit me, don't hit me..."
How could the women listen? They hit and poked them hard in places where they dared not see people.
Aren't you relying on the fact that Shaotang's wife is shy and afraid of being embarrassed and dare not say anything?
You made others suffer, and today we will make you suffer too!
I will beat you so hard that you dare not say a word!
You should take off your pants and clothes and show others how I beat you!
Song Chunfang suffered the most. Fang Dihua picked her up and slapped her ten times in a row.
Soon, the old men, women and children in the village who did not go to work gathered around, and someone ran to the field to deliver a message to the production team leader.
Song Chunfang's husband Chang Dazhi, Old Changtou and Old Changpo hurried over. Some of the other four wives' husbands came, while some husbands and their parents-in-law did not show up.
"Help! Someone is being beaten to death..."
Song Chunfang screamed in a slurred voice.
Chang Dazhi saw his wife being beaten into a pig's head, and immediately felt distressed and anxious, and said angrily: "Second aunt, I respect you as an elder..."
Fang Dihua: "Don't respect me, I will beat you too! You can't be different if you sleep under the same quilt! You can't escape responsibility for her character!"
Chang Dazhi felt guilty and angry, and rushed over to push Fang Dihua.
Fang Dihua didn't bother to be polite with him. She hit him on the arm with a stick and kicked him hard in the stomach, making him fall.
Chang Dazhi got up with red eyes, "You——"
He wanted to fight with Fang Dihua, but was beaten and whipped by several women,
"What, you still want to beat the second wife?"
"You are rebellious, dare you move a finger? Send you to the commune!"
Chang Dazhi couldn't beat so many women at once, and was beaten so hard that he held his head and trembled.
Old Chang was distressed and bowed repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Why do you beat someone like this for no reason? If the child is wrong, you can teach her, you can't just hit her directly..."
Fang Dihua sneered, are you pretending to be innocent?
She threw Song Chunfang to the ground like a rag, and said coldly to Old Chang and Old Lady Chang: "Don't say that you don't know that your good daughter-in-law is making up rumors and murdering people!"
She is gossiping here every day, doesn't she say it at home?
As an elder, you don't restrain her, and let her go out and talk nonsense?
I think you are gossiping with her! If you are not old enough to hit them with a stick, I will beat you two together!
Chang Dazhi roared, "That's not true. We live a normal life and have never said anything about you!"
Old Mrs. Chang even sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and began to cry, "We didn't do anything. Oh my god, you beat us up like this right away. You can't wrongly accuse us, God..."
Aunt Li said contemptuously, "You old Changs, stop acting like a play. Today we caught your daughter-in-law red-handed. You guys were here discussing how to poison Shaotang's daughter-in-law. Some wanted to hang her with a rope, and some wanted to push her into the Nanhe River. Oh my God, you have such vicious thoughts! You You know that those who murder soldiers' families should be shot, right? You said you didn't spread rumors, do you think she dares to admit it?"
The onlookers said, "She's so bad, she deserves to be beaten, and beaten hard!"
The four gossipers were so scared when they heard Aunt Li say this that they shook their heads and tried to prove their innocence, "I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I didn't spread rumors!"
Several people looked at Song Chunfang and said in unison, "Song Chunfang said it all! She said she heard it all in the back of the house, and we were all fooled by her! We didn't know anything!"
