Chapter 44 Chapter 44 This night, Chen...
That night, Chen did not sleep at all. She forced herself to stay awake until dawn. She got up early in the morning and cooked breakfast. The Su family sat down to eat and then went to Lijia Village together. Before leaving, Su's father specially called a few familiar military households. When they passed by the Huang family, they met the Huang family and Mo. After learning that the Su family was going to help the eldest sister ask for a dowry, several men from the Huang family, including Mo and several sisters-in-law, all took hoes and tools to follow.
"This is really too much. How dare you treat the girls in our village like this? Do you really think there is no one left in our village?"
"Yeah, that's too much. Don't be afraid, Daya. We're here to teach them a lesson."
"Yes, let's teach them a lesson!" the others echoed.
"Let's go and fight!"
"Hit him!"
At this time, Zeng Laoer, who was watching and heard the whole story, suddenly said,
"Brother Su, let Daya ride in my mule cart. She can also help haul the dowry back." Without waiting for Su's father to say anything, he went to the nearby tree by the gate to lead the mule. Zeng Laoer's wife saw him so flustered and thought something was wrong, but then she heard him say that he was going to ask for Daya's dowry. Ask for a dowry? Zeng Laoer's wife was confused. What dowry? Just when she wanted to ask for more clarification, he had already walked away.
In the end, the number of Su's father and his group increased to 30 or 40 people, including the father and son of the Wang family who lived next door to the Su family. Originally, Su Li just wanted to tell them early in the morning that she might not be able to deliver food at noon today. Unexpectedly, after the father and son of the Wang family learned that the Su family was going to seek justice, they offered to go with them. The more people, the better, especially in this dynasty, when villages acted collectively, such as competing for water and resources between villages, or asking for dowries for girls in the village, almost the entire village would go out to seek justice.
However, Xiaoxi Village does not belong to the same clan, and the surnames are mixed. In addition, there are many military households in the village, so there are few interactions between them on weekdays, and it is not as united as other villages.
So when the Wang family father and son learned that the Su family was willing to go together, naturally they did not refuse. Next came the Huang family and Zeng Lao Er from the village chief's family.
To be honest, when Father Su saw so many people willing to help, he was still very grateful, but he was also a little confused. When did they become so close to his family? He always felt that something was a little strange, but he couldn't put it into words, so he could only put it aside deep in his heart.
Other people in the village shared the same sentiment as Father Su. When they saw so many people helping the eldest daughter of the Su family to ask for a dowry, they were all a little puzzled. When did the Su family have such a good relationship with them?
Forget about everyone else, but why is the village chief's second son so close to them? He even offered to use his mule to help transport things!?
You know, Zeng Lao Er is famous for taking good care of his mule. He combs the mule's hair and feeds it with good bean cakes every few days. If ordinary people want to rent it, he will watch it with their own eyes, for fear that it will be tired or exhausted. Now it's like this, could it be that the sun has risen from the west?
Unable to figure it out, the villagers did not want to meddle in other people's business, so they dispersed after seeing the people leave. Among them were Li Shugen, his wife Liu and several other military households that had a good relationship with Su's father. Originally, Su's father came to call his good brother Li Shugen this morning, and Li Shugen also agreed and promised to take his son Li Shitou with him. But who knew that after Su's father left, Liu, who knew about the matter, refused to do so.
"People don't think of you when good things happen, but they do think of you when bad things happen."
The good news refers to the fact that the Su family went to the Huang family to buy vegetables. Although other people in the village were not very clear about this, Liu had seen Chen counting copper coins for Mo with her own eyes, and heard the two of them discussing this matter with her own ears. In addition, her family's vegetable garden was next to the Huang family's, so she naturally knew that the Huang family went to pick vegetables before dawn every day. From time to time, she and her daughter would go to the dock to find fruits to sell, so she knew very well that the Su family was now selling food at the dock.
In short, Liu was angry about this for a long time.
Sure enough, the Su family said nice things, such as good brother, how could a good brother not remember you when something good happened?
If she were to tell her it was all fake, a false show, why else would they never think of their family when good things happened? They also had vegetables in their fields!
"What good or bad things, don't talk nonsense, just say these nonsense." Father Li said, but in his heart he had some other thoughts about what his wife Liu said. In addition, Liu said,
"Anyway, you are not allowed to go, and neither are your sons. If any of you dare to go, I will die in front of your parents' graves, get a rope, and hang myself. Let them see how you treat me."
"How could there be someone with such a miserable life like me... Marrying you means I haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness..."
As Liu spoke, she began to wipe away her tears and talked about how hard and difficult her life was after marrying Father Li. In the end, Father Li had no choice but to find an excuse to let his son reject Father Su.
There were several other families like Liu's and Li's father. They all felt that this was a thankless task. If they went to Lijia Village, they would inevitably have a fight with them and get injured. So they all found excuses to decline in the name of family quarrels.
Naturally, Father Su expressed his understanding of all of this, but they eventually became less close. Later, everyone drifted further and further apart, and some even had different positions and camps, and they were no longer the same as before.
However, those people still felt complicated when they saw that Father Su was able to gather so many people. For some reason, they felt empty in their hearts, as if they had missed something?
"When did they get so close?"
"have no idea."
"Actually, I really wanted to go, but my family was making a fuss and didn't agree."
“…”
The man glanced at the other person without saying anything, but he also felt it was extremely boring. He thought to himself, "Let's stop pretending, okay?" But he still said, "Yeah, who isn't?"
"But seeing how many of them there are, a few of us shouldn't be a big problem."
"Yes."
At this time, on the other side, Su's father and his group also set out on the road to Lijia Village.
Lijiacun, "What should we do now?"
"What do you think we should do now?"
Old man Li paced back and forth in the yard anxiously. Ever since he returned home yesterday and heard that the Su family had come to take his eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter Lian Gu away without saying a word, he has been feeling uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
Although the Su family seemed kind and easy to talk to on weekdays, they say that even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, let alone a military household. For a moment, Old Man Li began to regret why he did not stop his wife, Mrs. Ji, when she was humiliating their daughter-in-law. He was also bewildered, why didn't he stop it?
Mrs. Ji who was standing by also began to feel scared. She didn't know why. Last night when she closed her eyes, she saw the look that Father Su gave her. It was as cold as ice in winter and went straight into her heart. When she woke up in the morning, her right eyelid started twitching wildly, and even after putting red paper on it, the twitching didn't stop.
I always feel like something big is going to happen.
"Don't scare yourself. This is Lijia Village. What can the people from Xiaoxi Village do? I don't believe the village chief will ignore us and watch us being bullied." Mrs. Ji encouraged herself while looking at the weather that was about to rain and storm.
"Yes, Dad, what are you afraid of? If they dare to take action, we brothers will not be vegetarians either." Li Laoer said, waving his fist.
Li Laosan also agreed, "Yes, Dad, we don't need to be afraid of them."
Old man Li seemed to be comforted by these words, and his heart finally settled a little.
However, the most frightened person was Li Dalang who was squatting in the corner. He knew something that others didn't know. His father-in-law and two brothers-in-law had really killed someone. He had seen them with his own eyes, with their clothes covered in blood. But after a long time, he subconsciously forgot about it.
But now he suddenly remembered everything, but he had no regrets in his heart. In his opinion, he had been good enough to his daughter. He had not starved her to death or sold her for so many years, and he had even given her two bites of food. He had already done his best.
As for his wife, Su, whose husband doesn't beat his wife?
His father still beat his mother, why don't other people have these troubles? Or maybe he didn't beat her enough, didn't beat her hard enough. If he beat her once, she would learn her lesson and be obedient. After this matter is over, he will definitely make her remember this lesson. And that dead girl also needs to be sold. It just so happens that when he went to the county to work last time, he heard that there was a human trafficker who wanted to buy a person. The dead girl is pretty and should be able to sell for a few taels of silver. Or he could just sell her to the earthen brothel and get a higher price. After all, she is just a girl, so it's not a pity to sell her.
Li Dalang was thinking about how to excuse himself while making plans secretly, but he still looked like an honest man on his face. It was this honest look that deceived everyone. Even the Li family didn't know how much evil he had in their stomachs, otherwise it wouldn't be Ji Pozi who did these bad things most of the time, and he was still that honest, good man, a quiet, down-to-earth and hardworking son-in-law and a good husband. His only shortcoming was that he was too filial and listened too much to his mother.
