Chapter 53 Clues
"I come first, I come first!" The one who spoke was the boy who was about ten years old, named Han Xiangdong, and he was also the eldest among the boys.
“We will climb trees in the summer to catch cicadas and roast them to eat!”
That's not what Ji Yunyun wants to hear. What she needs to know is all kinds of short-term information about the parents. Only with this information can she analyze which family bought a child bride a few years ago.
She could only slowly lead their thoughts to this point: "I know this. The children in our city also caught cicadas in the summer, and they also caught beetles. This doesn't count. Just tell me who has something new.
Things are going well, I like to hear that."
Han Xiangdong was not convinced after being denied. He tried his best to get a snack, puffing his mouth and thinking hard.
The younger Han Xiangnan was not to be outdone: "I know, Zhaodi next door was beaten by her grandmother with a fire stick yesterday..." His voice became smaller and smaller, probably because he felt that there was no need to tell such a shocking fact.
Finally there was no sound at all.
Very good, what I want is this kind of trivial matter where the east and west have shortcomings. Ji Yunyun gave him a biscuit to give him a face, pretending to be amazed: "Really, beating someone with a fire stick?"
"Really, Zhaodi... she screamed so loudly, um... we all heard it..." He nodded solemnly and stuffed the biscuits into his mouth again and again, causing crumbs to fall all over his body.
The little brother in Han Dani's arms was also very greedy and struggled to crawl towards Ji Yunyun. Ji Yunyun quickly stuffed a biscuit over it. Although the little one didn't expect much, crying would be troublesome.
When Han Xiangdong saw that his younger brother had taken the lead, he was very unconvinced, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything that Ji Yunyun wanted to know.
He couldn't blame him, because Ji Yunyun's life was really far different from theirs, and he couldn't tell what things Ji Yunyun hadn't heard of.
Forget it, just tell me one thing, just in case you win.
"A few days ago, Erdan's little wife went to the river to fetch water for washing clothes. She slipped and hit her head hard, and she bled a lot."
She had said before that she had never done housework, so she had never seen such things as fetching water and washing clothes. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was right. After saying this, he stretched out his hand directly in front of Ji Yunyun, indicating that the reward could be given to him.
Ji Yunyun did give it because she heard the news she wanted to hear. Most people cannot use the term "little wife". Could it be that she was the one she was looking for, or was it just a joke among children?
"What do you mean by little daughter-in-law?" It's better to ask clearly first. She didn't dare to act rashly because she was unfamiliar with the place.
"My little daughter-in-law is my little daughter-in-law. What's the point? We all call her that." Han Xiangdong didn't care about Ji Yunyun when he had something to eat. He answered very perfunctorily, but it was normal for such a small baby not to know.
Ji Yunyun then turned to look at Han Dani. The older girl should know this. Besides, girls are precocious and have helped the family since childhood, so they are much better than boys who have no business in mind.
Han Dani didn't expect Ji Yunyun to be interested in this. She did know what it meant, but she was twelve years old now and would be able to talk to her husband's family in a few years in the countryside. How could she have the nerve to explain this to a little girl.
But Ji Yunyun refused to let her go. She just looked at her and insisted on asking why.
She had no choice but to explain a few words with a blushing face: "It's just..., it's just... Erdan's family found a wife for him. They are still young now. They can only get married when they grow up, just like your parents."
.”
Although what she said was vague, Ji Yunyun was sure that this was the child bride who did not run away, but it still needs to be confirmed that she was not Teacher Zhang's daughter, or there was more than one child bride in the village, which would be terrible.
"Then do you all have little wives?" Ji Yunyun continued to ask the two boys.
"How could we have one? Erdan is a fool. His family just found him a little wife, and we don't need it." Han Xiangdong looked disdainful, feeling that having a little wife was a very dishonorable thing.
"Who told you this?"
"My milk...well..."
Before he finished speaking, Han Dani picked up a candy and put it in his mouth.
"He is ignorant, don't listen to his nonsense." Han Dani didn't really think there was anything wrong. After all, she had been educated like this since she was a child, and she had no legal knowledge. It was just that she was older and intuitively felt that this was not a glorious thing.
I just didn't want to tell it and let Ji Yunyun laugh.
"I'm not sensible. It was my grandma who said it. I said before that I wanted a little wife, but grandma said that only fools want one!" The boy finally chewed up the candy and swallowed it, and immediately refuted his sister, proving that he didn't have one.
Nonsense.
Han Dani was speechless, why did she deal with such a second-rate brother?
She looked at Ji Yunyun secretly and felt a little relieved when she saw that her bright eyes were still twinkling and there was no sign of ridicule.
"I haven't seen my little daughter-in-law yet. Is she the same age as us? What does she look like? Can you take me to see her?"
A series of questions confused Han Xiangdong. What's so good about a little daughter-in-law? Isn't she just two eyes and a mouth?
He may have also forgotten that when he first learned about such a person a few years ago, the children in the village rushed to Erdan's house to watch the Western view, and they were very curious for a while.
Ji Yunyun thought that she had to find a way to see it in person. Anyway, Teacher Zhang's daughter had a birthmark on her body, which was easy to identify.
However, if you want to find out without alerting the enemy, you must bring a few local children along. You will have excuses whether to advance or retreat, and it will not attract attention.
"Can we go have a look? Didn't you say she hit her head? I brought some medicine and I can give her some."
Ji Yunyun didn't expect these ignorant boys to have any extra sympathy, so she said this to Han Dani.
Han Dani looked embarrassed. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that Erdan's mother and grandmother were very fierce. They also watched the little daughter-in-law very closely and never allowed her to talk to the villagers. When the younger brother and the others went to watch the fun, they were so angry several times.
They were all driven out with brooms every time. If she took Ji Yunyun with her now, no one would see her. But if she was discovered, her brother would be fine, but she would definitely not be left behind.
"Can't you go? Why?"
Seeing that no one said anything, Ji Yunyun's heart suddenly tightened. There must be something wrong, otherwise why wouldn't she be able to see people?
"It's not that I can't go, it's that the family has a bad temper and doesn't like people to visit." Seeing that Ji Yunyun was anxious, Han Dani quickly explained that she was also afraid that Ji Yunyun would sue her grandmother later, saying that she didn't entertain the guests well.
"Why don't we take a look secretly? I'm just curious, and it must be very painful for her to fall so badly. She can get better faster with medicine." Seeing that Han Dani was still hesitating, Ji Yunyun turned to lure her two
