Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a graceful figure standing in the corridor. Everyone knew that Liang Qingqing was beautiful, but every time they saw her, their eyes would light up. She
was wearing a dark blue top with small white flowers and black trousers. She was slim and beautiful. Her white and flawless skin was slightly pink. When the sun shone on her, it seemed to glow and dazzle people's eyes. They
were all country girls, but why was she so white and beautiful?
I don't know how long she stood there and how long she listened. The complexion on her delicate little face was as dark as ink, which was extremely ugly.
"My mother said she doesn't agree, so she doesn't agree. Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Liang Qingqing walked to the middle of the yard and stood beside Ma Xiuzhi. She was taller than her, so she raised her arm and put it on her shoulder, which instantly calmed Ma Xiuzhi's uneasy heart.
Liang Qingqing knew about Zhao Cuihua's arrival. She wanted to go out and take a look, but when she heard that it was about her marriage, she, a young girl, couldn't interfere, so she stayed in the room and listened. But the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong, and she realized the sinister calculations.
"You also know that we are relatives. If you don't know, you would think we are enemies." Liang Qingqing laughed, "You said we bullied you, who is bullying who?"
"Marriage is based on mutual consent, no matter how rich the man's family is. But we have clearly expressed our refusal, and you are still lingering here and forcing us to agree. What's the difference between you and the bandits and landlords?"
"What are you talking about? Don't flatter me. How did we force you? Were we not discussing this properly?" Zhao Cuihua was frightened when she heard Liang Qingqing's words, and she quickly denied it. After feeling guilty, she raised her chin and snorted, "But you, you started beating people before we could finish a few words. Is there any law?"
"If our Shumin hadn't married into your family, I wouldn't have introduced such a good marriage to you." Zhao Cuihua pushed Huang Shumin forward, then covered her chest, pretending to be hurt, "I thought about you wholeheartedly, but in the end it ended up like this, good intentions are not rewarded, it's really unfortunate." Ma Xiuzhi
's eyebrows jumped fiercely at the tone of the blame-turning words, pointing at Zhao Cuihua and spitting: "Bah, you shameless stinker, you thought about us wholeheartedly? Then when Huang Shumin proposed to my second son, why did you temporarily add so much dowry? Now you say after the fact that you thought about us? It's really laughable."
"I..."
Zhao Cuihua choked. Before she could say anything, Liang Qingqing continued from Ma Xiuzhi's place, "Such a good marriage, why don't you let your daughter marry herself? Why don't you let the daughter of your relatives marry? I don't believe you can be so generous when you can even temporarily add people to the betrothal gift! There must be something fishy about this marriage."
"Everyone, think about it, isn't this the truth? It's so difficult to find a good family now. Even my own relatives can't introduce one, so how could I think of the girl from my in-laws' side? What's more, they are so eager to introduce one. You know what their intention is."
Liang Qingqing always spoke loudly and logically. Everyone was nervous when they heard her. Those who were quick-witted had already noticed that something was wrong, and their eyes turned meaningfully when they looked at Zhao Cuihua and Deng Weiping.
The aunt who was about to recommend her daughter to Deng Weiping was also panicked.
"It's true that I want my daughter to live a good life, but I don't want to send her into a fire pit. Did Ma Xiuzhi's in-laws dig a big pit and wait for someone to jump in?"
"That's right. If my conditions were so good, I would have married and had children in the city long ago. Why would I come to the countryside to find a wife? Moreover, not only did they give such a colorful gift money, but they also bought three turns and one ring. Rich people have money, but they are not stupid. They are much smarter than the rest of us. If there is no playboy in the back, how could they be willing to spend so much money to marry a country girl?"
"Liang Qingqing is not a country girl. She is so beautiful, even prettier than the people in the city. In my opinion, maybe he is attracted by Liang Qingqing's appearance. Men are willing to spend any amount of money for beauty."
"Tsk, what good is a lustful man? He is quick to fall in love now, but he will also change his mind quickly in the future. No wonder Ma Xiuzhi disagrees. She dotes on her daughter so much, how could she marry her daughter to such a man? I would not want to do it either."
"The Liang family is full of honest people. They didn't have such troubles in the past. Who knew that they would marry a troublemaker and live an uneasy life."
Someone was talking, and suddenly brought up Huang Shumin. Such a black pot fell down, and she was dizzy. She hurriedly waved her hands: "It's not like that. This is none of my business."
"Why is it none of your business? Isn't she your mother? Didn't you know anything beforehand? You are really amazing for helping your parents to cheat your husband's family!"
Huang Shumin was speechless. She looked at Liang Junqiang at first, but after meeting his complicated and disappointed eyes, her heart shuddered. No, she couldn't let things go on like this. If she was really found guilty of having bad intentions, how could she have a foothold in the Liang family in the future? She would be kicked out. Her
reputation would also be completely ruined. It would be better to die than to live under the urging of others!
Huang Shumin took a deep breath, and with the last bit of luck, she looked at Ma Xiuzhi cautiously. Who knew that the other party turned his head away and didn't even want to look at her.
She squeezed her hands, finally made up her mind and looked at Liang Qingqing, forcing a smile: "Qingqing, listen to my sister-in-law, there is a misunderstanding in this matter. How could my sister-in-law's family harm you for no reason? This is really a good marriage."
"Think about it carefully, no matter what..." Huang Shumin pursed her lips and gritted her teeth and said: "His status and position are real. If you marry him, you will definitely eat and drink well, and live a fairy-like life that everyone envies. Haven't you always wanted to live in the city and become a city dweller? Now such a good opportunity is in front of you, are you really willing to give it up?"
"Huang Shumin! What are you talking about here?" Ma Xiuzhi looked at Huang Shumin suddenly, her eyes widened. Qingqing finally sobered up and was not blinded by the wealth, but Huang Shumin deliberately said these words to seduce her. Was she afraid that Qingqing would not run fast enough?
Originally, Ma Xiuzhi was not so angry with Huang Shumin. She thought that she probably did not participate much in this matter, and she would just not associate with her family in the future. Who knew that she would say these words to poke her heart.
It is true that like mother, like daughter. Others are right. Huang Shumin is a troublemaker.
Their Liang family cannot tolerate such a big Buddha!
"I'm not talking nonsense. It's a good marriage. You have to think too much. My mother has no intention to harm anyone. This man is so good, who can not be tempted? If it weren't for the fact that my cousins are not good enough, they would not look down on him, and it wouldn't be Liang Qingqing's turn."
Huang Shumin was so aggrieved that her voice was filled with tears. Why didn't anyone in her natal family or husband's family trust her and consider her? The former's mind was full of Huang Shaofeng, and the latter's mind was full of Liang Qingqing. Even her husband stood on the opposite side of her.
This world is too unfair.
Huang Shumin blamed everything, this and that, but she didn't blame herself. She just felt that she was wronged and innocent.
"Whoever is interested can marry, I won't marry anyway." Liang Qingqing looked at Huang Shumin, who was full of resentment, with her brows furrowed. She and Huang Shumin had a complete feud, and there was no way they could live in peace in the future.
"Since you think this marriage is so good, then we in the Liang family won't keep you trapped. You can go back with your mother and live a rich life." The muscles on Ma Xiuzhi's face were trembling faintly, and the uncontrollable anger was surging in her blood vessels. The long-suppressed emotions burst out like a volcanic eruption. As soon as
these words came out, the whole audience was shocked. Obviously, they didn't expect things to develop to this point. How could they talk about marriage? Ma Xiuzhi was going to drive this second daughter-in-law out? But if you think about it carefully, you can understand. Who doesn't want to live a stable life? Keeping such a daughter-in-law who is so crooked will cause trouble in the future. Who knows when she will stab you in the back. It's better to cut the Gordian knot.
Anyway, the man is divorced and it won't delay his marriage. Besides, the second son of the Liang family is so outstanding. He gets a full centimeters of strong men every year. Is there any fear that he won't find a second spring?
Some people rolled their eyes and began to calculate silently.
"Mom." Huang Shumin couldn't believe it. Her face turned pale as window paper.
Ma Xiuzhi felt annoyed just by looking at her, and turned to Liang Junqiang who was standing there in a daze and asked: "Second brother, I just want to ask you one question, do you agree with mother's decision?"
"Mom..." Liang Junqiang looked at Ma Xiuzhi, then at Huang Shumin, his mind full of the words Huang Shumin had just said, which were harsh and unpleasant. He simply couldn't believe that these words came out of her mouth.
Ma Xiuzhi was unwilling to accept his hesitation. She was impetuous, domineering and decisive by nature. She laughed and said, "I've said it before, our family values harmony and wealth, and now someone wants to destroy this peace under my nose, so I will show no mercy." "
It happens that so many people are here today, please bear witness for me. From today on, our Liang family will be divided. I, your father and Qingqing will live with the eldest brother Liang Shuqiang's family, and you, Liang Junqiang, will go alone with your wife. Your father and I don't need your filial piety. You will live your own lives in the future, and don't come around me."
"Divide the family?"
Liang Junqiang knelt down in front of Ma Xiuzhi, "Mom, what are you doing? Dad, say something, how can we divide the family?"
Liang Xueyong was originally standing in the back, supporting the Liang family invisibly. Hearing Liang Junqiang's question, he said in a deep voice with a cold face: "Your mother's meaning is my meaning. Life is getting worse and worse. We can't live together well, so let's divide the family."
"When will it be the turn of an outsider to decide my daughter's marriage? Do you really think our Liang family is easy to bully?"
Liang Xueyong looked outside the yard, and saw a black crowd of people running from a distance, holding sticks and farm tools in their hands. It was Liang Shuqiang and Wang Xiaomei who ran out to get help, and they came with a group of Liang family relatives.
No one else dared to come forward to watch the excitement, and they stepped back to let them have their place.
"Who dares to bully the Liang family?"
"Don't be afraid, Qingqing, your uncle is here to support you!"
Deng Weiping, who was sitting on the ground, saw this and his legs almost fell off after he stood up. He just came to the countryside to find a soft persimmon woman to marry, but he never thought he would hit a wall and make such a big embarrassment.
The key point is that Zhao Cuihua just revealed her identity in front of everyone. If this matter spread to the city, or even the factory, he would be really embarrassed.
"Brother, is this marriage necessary?" Deng Chaoxian was so regretful at this point that he should not have volunteered to accompany him on this trip, but he had to persuade him with a tearful face: "There are many beautiful girls in the world, why do you have to love only one? Why don't we find someone else? There are more beautiful girls than this one. What is the purpose of the matchmaker you found? Isn't this a trap for you?"
Hearing this, Deng Weiping finally remembered why he was so cruel. He turned his gaze and glared at Zhao Cuihua who was huddled in the corner of the yard, "Zhao Cuihua, didn't you say you would satisfy me? What's the situation now? If you don't handle it for me, don't even think about getting a dime, let alone fifty yuan!"
"Hey, it's fifty yuan, don't try to get away with it." Zhao Cuihua got anxious and jumped out and shouted.
Who knew that the Liang family, who usually seemed easy to talk to and honest, would be so smart today, guessing the key at once, and their attitude was so tough, and they refused to give in.
The marriage was probably not going to be successful, but she had to get some money from Deng Weiping, otherwise it would be a wasted trip and she would offend her daughter's in-laws. In the future, let alone have any contact with them, they would probably fight when they met.
As for Ma Xiuzhi's words about asking Huang Shumin to go home with her, Zhao Cuihua didn't take it to heart. The Liang family was not stupid. They spent so much money on marrying a daughter-in-law, how could they just say they didn't want her?
The daughter-in-law had been slept with, she wouldn't return a penny!
This is why she dared to force the Liang family so much.
"We have an agreement, but have you helped me marry Liang Qingqing? I am too lazy to argue with you, I am going back to the city." Deng Weiping called Deng Chaoxian, and the two were about to ride away on their bicycles. Zhao Cuihua was unwilling to do so, and she rushed forward and stood in front, "If you don't give me money, I will tell you everything about you." "
Shut up!" Deng Weiping was so angry that he slapped her directly.
Even if he was dressed elegantly, his face showed some disgust and viciousness at this moment, and he was very strong. After a while, five clear red slap marks appeared on Zhao Cuihua's face.
Zhao Cuihua was stunned by the beating. After giving birth to a son in the Huang family, she had been smooth sailing for more than ten years and had never been beaten. This time she exploded and rushed towards Deng Weiping, "You, a bastard who had an affair with your own brother, dare to hit me? I will fight you."
After saying this, Zhao Cuihua felt a little regretful, but more of a sense of relief. She had overheard this news by accident and had kept it in her heart without telling anyone. Now that she couldn't get the money and had been beaten, she might as well make it difficult for everyone.
When Deng Weiping wanted to cover his mouth, it was too late. Zhao Cuihua's lips moved up and down, and everything came out. His eyes went dark and he almost fainted. It was at this moment that she seized the opportunity and slapped him hard on the face.
With a "slap", Deng Weiping was knocked unconscious.
No one knew whether he was angry, embarrassed, pretending, or really fainted. Anyway, he fell straight to the ground.
Zhao Cuihua was stunned, and everyone was stunned too. Their mouths were wide open and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Deng Weiping and Zhao Cuihua's back-and-forth fight was like confessing their guilt. Now we knew the whole story without having to investigate. They were right. There was something fishy about this marriage!
But they didn't expect the amount of information to be so huge.
Everyone looked at Deng Chaoxian standing aside. Did they hear correctly that this man called Deng Weiping "brother"? Could it be...
Deng Chaoxian wanted to faint when he saw the gazes from others, but he couldn't. He had no choice but to call for help: "Come here, help me take him to the hospital."
There was constant whispering around, but no one was willing to come forward to help. It was not until the village chief and the team leader heard the noise and rushed over that they sent Deng Weiping to the hospital. However, the men who helped carry him looked disgusted. Deng Weiping fell countless times along the way, and his head, body, and legs were all covered with bruises of varying sizes.
