Chapter 39
Eat melon and eat it on your own head
Song Huan led her brother back to the village carrying a basket full of daily necessities.
When I walked under the big banyan tree, I saw a house on the other side of the river from the big banyan tree. The door was surrounded by a crowd of men, women, old and young, with familiar faces but not familiar faces.
What other exciting activities are happening today?
While Song Huan was still debating whether to go and watch the fun, the tearful boy had just come out of the house.
"Song Ya, come and sit at my house and drink a glass of water." The tearful boy looked a little unhappy.
Song Huan thought for a while and nodded.
She understands the tearful boy quite well, and would not come out so specifically to ask him to stay at this time on weekdays. After all, it is getting late.
Song Huan took her brother into the tearful boy's home. At this time, there were no elders in the house, and there were two teenagers and girls waiting in the main room.
The girl is already dressed as a woman.
Song Huan guessed that these should be the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the tearful boy.
Song Huan's eyes widened, oh! There is such a melon?
Is this a case of diverting misfortune from the east and framing the blame?
She really wanted to ask who it was, but she was afraid that everyone present would think she was too nosy, and Adi was still around!
He could only remind now, "You still have to be careful. You must pay attention to it recently. If you can't go out, stay at home first. Wait until this storm is over. There is nothing wrong with being careful."
Speaking of this, the tearful boy's eldest brother and the sister-in-law who came in were all silent.
Song Huan's eyes drifted past the eldest brother opposite, and saw her sister-in-law glaring at her eldest brother. The eldest brother felt guilty and did not dare to say anything, so he just drank water silently.
Song Huan understood that the family was not well-off and did not have the time and energy to spend time and energy on reporting to the official. Moreover, the government servants were the ones responsible for this. There were many people coming, and you had to be responsible for their food, drink and accommodation.
Therefore, if the leader of a village cannot handle affairs fairly, then the life in that village will also be chaotic.
The tearful boy also introduced both parties.
It is outsiders who influence the customs and feng shui of the village.
"When my mother met last year, she also considered Sister Erya, but Sister Erya's temperament was not suitable for being the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, so she decided to be the eldest sister-in-law."
The tearful boy hesitated to speak. It was not like there were unpleasant sounds in this village every day or two.
Song Huan immediately turned around and looked at Adi next to him. Adi raised the cup with both hands as if drinking tea. His big dark eyes flickered, full of curiosity and confusion!
Be good!
After all, everyone is fighting for the interests of their own village and understands etiquette and reason.
"Sister Erya grew up with us and is shy. My eldest brother... is usually very nice to Sister Erya..."
It’s really the best of both worlds!
Song Huan looked calm and said with a smile, "The people in our village are simple and kind, so this kind of thing should not happen."
Brother is still there.
The tearful boy shook his head, "We don't know, but it's impossible for Aunt Yang to let Sister Erya die with this reputation of being unchaste. Otherwise, not to mention whether Xiaoya can get married, even the brothers of the Yang family can't.
Now that I have a wife, Genmiao is the same age as my eldest brother, so this year is the time to see each other."
The tearful boy looked at Song Huan.
Song Huan nodded and thanked, "I accept your wishes and I will do it."
And they specially asked themselves to come to their house to eat their "melon"?
The tearful young man sighed, a little embarrassed to speak, "In our village... there is indeed a girl who is misbehaving, but she is not Sister Erya."
The character of Li Zheng in Darongshu Village and Dongxi Village is quite good, which can be seen from the incident with the fishing net.
Song Huan was surprised, someone jumped into the river and committed suicide? No one reported it to the official?
The tearful boy thought that Song Huan had been living in the mountains all year round and didn't know much about these things, so he gave a rough explanation, "Usually, in this kind of situation, it's the villagers who take the initiative."
"Then this unchaste girl will either be found. Or, another person will be found to take the blame, and this is the best candidate..."
My parents and those aunts can help for a while but not forever, and to put it more seriously, if it involves the interests of the entire village...
It’s true that people naturally love to gossip!
No distinction between men and women, young or old!
Song Huan shook his head and sighed, "It's true that three people become a tiger, and all the accumulated damage is destroyed!"
Yes!
Externally, it can be said that the roots of Darongshu Village are good, but it's just that the people were kind-hearted and blind, and took in the wrong people.
After Song Huan thanked him again and again, he was ready to leave.
The tearful boy also looked troubled, "This matter has something to do with our family."
Song Huan, "???"
But hehehe in his heart.
The tearful boy sent Song Huan out and added, "Some people in the village didn't get any advantage over the fishing net incident, so there are a lot of rumors about you. It's best if you don't go down the mountain during this period."
The tearful boy nodded, "My parents were called away by Li Zheng just now because of this incident, and because my elder brother and sister-in-law were implicated, I was afraid that something bad might happen to Aunt Yang when she got excited, so I stayed at home."
Villagers without roots can also reduce the impact on Darongshu Village.
The tearful boy continued, "I don't know why, but Aunt Miao and the others passed this around, saying that Sister Erya was unclean, so she was disowned by my family."
Song Huan was puzzled. According to logic, if such a situation occurs, he must report it to the county magistrate, and then ask the widow to do an autopsy. Only then can we judge whether it was homicide or suicide, right?
The eldest brother of the tearful boy then said, "Usually in the county town, or relatively close to the county town, only those with wealthy families will apply. And the more officials are dispatched, the more the cost will be. Ordinary situations are like today.
Usually, after Li Zheng asks clearly, it can be resolved privately."
"So, why are you still making trouble now?" Song Huan asked the key.
At most, he just wants Li Zheng to help him so that he can gain more benefits.
I guess it can't be an ordinary dish, it must have meat and rice. After all, you are a government official. If you don't give him good food if he does things for you, they will think you look down on him. How can ordinary people afford to offend a government official?
So this is the reason why I would rather resolve it privately than call the officials.
After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, the sister-in-law went to get water for Song Huan and her brother.
Song Huan patted the pretentious Adi and glared at him, then changed the subject and said, "So, what is the resolution plan now?"
She is not yet a pure DaRongShu Villager. If Li Zheng really wants to settle the matter quickly, it would be better to exclude a DaRongShu Villager who is not a native of DaRongShu Village than to drag out a real "unchaste" native of the village!
Song Huan didn't show anything on his face.
Isn't she the best candidate?
A "three-no product"!
No elders, no roots, no clansmen.
Song Huan is still thinking, but does this matter have anything to do with herself?
The tearful boy briefly told Song Huan what happened today.
Song Huan didn't expect such a thing to happen. After saying something to reassure the tearful boy, she took her brother back home.
She brainstorms when she gets home!
In the end, I covered my forehead with my hand when I had a headache.
This was the first time Fu Yuanzhi saw Song Huan like this. He subconsciously wanted to ask about the situation, but his brother told him without any logic. Even so, he figured out the key points.
Fu Yuanzhi didn't know everything about the situation in the village, but he still knew a little about the people and their temperaments.
