Song Qiu waited until he saw Miao Xiang being taken away by the two village chiefs, then felt slightly relieved and turned around to go home.
As for this matter today, it is solved even if it is said to be solved, and it is not solved either if it is said to be unresolved.
Just by looking at the village chief who stayed for a while and finally took Miao Xiang away, we can tell that Cao Daqiao still has his head held high.
Song Qiu also didn't expect that Mrs. Cao, whom she thought was unaware of the situation before, turned out to be turning a blind eye.
In this way, Miao Xiang would not fare well in that home. No wonder the village chief wanted to take Miao Xiang away.
However, this is not the case. The village chief's family is just richer than the average family in the village. Even if one more person does not eat much, it is not good after a long time.
Song Qiu thought about what he had promised Miao Xiang before asking her to work, and thought about what kind of work he could do with Miao Xiang.
While thinking about it, she arrived home and saw her grandma in the upper room of the Zhang family. She walked in and met Zaohua who was about to go out. "I heard that Miao Xiang's father divorced again. I just went to see Miao Xiang."
Go away and be back soon!"
"No! Just wait." Mrs. Miao rushed out from behind to catch people, "The Cao family is in chaos right now. Why do I want you to see what Miao Xiang is doing? We'll go later!"
"I'm just going to take a look, talk to Miao Xiang and then come back," Zaohua said.
"No, no, no! If you don't go, stay at home and help mother look at the stone eggs. Mother has to go up the mountain to collect firewood." Mrs. Miao firmly refused.
After hearing this, Zaohua could only bow her head and go back to the house to see her brother.
Miao sighed and saw Song Qiu, "Aqiu came back from the village? Have you heard about what happened to the Cao family? Really... I don't dare to let Zaohua go to the Cao family to find Miao Xiang now, thinking
In the past, Zaohua often went to Cao's house, which made me feel a little confused."
Song Qiu:......
"Miao Xiang asked the village chief and grandma to take her home, but she is not at Cao's house now."
"Really? It's good to be so daring. That girl Miao Xiang, I look at how tall she is, and I feel worried for her! She is such a good little girl, what do you think..."
Old Mrs. Deng in the room listened and said hurriedly: "What are you talking to a little girl like Aqiu for? Isn't it collecting firewood? Go quickly, come back and make lunch."
Zhang Hugua was working, and the firewood needed for the house was all brought back from the mountains by the Miao family.
"I'll go right away." Mrs. Miao responded and turned around to get the hatchet. Then she thought of something and came back, "Mom, help me look at the stone eggs and jujube flowers later. I want to go back to my parents' house.
go."
"Go back later this afternoon? What's so urgent? Can you come back tomorrow?" Old Mrs. Deng couldn't help but ask.
Miao's natal family was not far away, and it took more than an hour to walk. She couldn't come back this afternoon, and she couldn't come back at night. She could bring Shidan'er with her during the day, but he wouldn't sleep with her at night.
Miao's eyes flashed, and she simply stepped in, sat down on a small stool, and then said: "Isn't this what happened to the Cao family today that made me anxious? Mother, you also know that my second sister-in-law is my mother-in-law.
I also recovered from my illness two years ago, leaving only a daughter for my second brother to take care of. My second brother is so unattractive that no one is willing to marry him as a stepmother..."
As soon as Old Madam Deng and Old Madam Yuan heard what Miao said, they understood what it meant.
Miao's father passed away many years ago, so her mother divided the family between her three sons and they lived with the eldest son.
Her second brother is lazy. He only manages two acres of land and there is more grass than crops. The harvest in a year is not much. Life is tight. Most of the time, he has to have two other brothers to support him. Such a person,
Which woman would you like?
My wife died two years ago, leaving only a daughter. She is eight years old this year and she is also a hard-working girl. The family's daily work is usually thanks to her.
A father spends time with his daughter, and usually they don't think anything is wrong.
But after what happened to the Cao family, it really made people think a lot.
Although there are so many people in the world who are worse than animals like Cao Daqiao, what if?
Mrs. Deng also knew that Mrs. Miao had a good relationship with her natal family, especially since her second sister-in-law, who had disappeared, was very kind to Mrs. Miao when she was still alive. It was natural for her to miss her daughter more.
After thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Don't wait until noon, there are still two rough steamed buns left in the morning? You can take them with you on the way, go back now, walk faster, you can still make it back before dark."
"
"If you can't make it back, don't worry. Just stay at your elder brother's house for a night and come back tomorrow. I'll try my best to coax Shi Dan'er in the evening."
Mrs. Miao was also very anxious and couldn't wait any longer. After hearing this, she immediately nodded and said: "Okay, Mom, I'll rush back right away. I'll bother you at home, Mom."
After that, he went into the kitchen house to pack two steamed buns and hurried out the door.
In the upper room, old Mrs. Deng was warming himself by the fire, sighed, and said to old Mrs. Yuan: "Hey, you said this was the cause of this incident. We also watched that boy from Daqiao grow up. How smart and clever he was when he was a child?
It’s a pity, if it hadn’t been for that incident where my leg was lame, I wouldn’t be like this now.”
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Cao must have felt ashamed of her son these past years, and she insisted on having a grandson. How could she care about a granddaughter? This is also the case. The one who suffered is Miao Xiang! Fortunately, she is still young.
, This commotion happened just in time, otherwise in a few years, Miao Xiang will be really ruined!" Old Yuan also sighed.
Song Qiu spread her hands to warm herself up to the fire, and the firelight made her face blush. After listening to the words of the two grandmothers, she couldn't help but added, "It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change it. What kind of virtue is in his bones? How can it be because he is not now?"
Is it different to be a scholar and just a basket weaver?"
In this world, there are countless fathers who love their daughters, but there are also countless men who have that kind of hobby. However, the person involved does not dare to talk about this kind of thing, for fear that others will laugh and look down upon him, and those who muster up the courage to talk about it usually don’t.
People will just believe it.
Just like Xiao Hui, my playmate who played together in the same yard in my previous life.
What a good girl.
But she was treated like that by her own father, but even her own mother didn't believe it when she told her, and neither did anyone else in the yard.
In the end, Xiaohui's young life remained in the old well in the courtyard's dam forever.
She still remembers the words Xiaohui held her in tears the first night after she jumped into the well.
Why, if she doesn’t lie, why doesn’t anyone believe her? Why doesn’t even her mother believe her?
She believed her and had been comforting Xiaohui at that time.
It's a pity, but I didn't expect that little Xiaohui couldn't think of it and jumped into the well.
But the person who deserved to be punished did not receive any punishment for Xiaohui's jumping into the well. In the end, it just ended with the old well being sealed forever.
No one mentioned Xiaohui again, let alone why Xiaohui jumped into the well.
It is said that the ancients had feudal ideas, but people of this generation are more willing to believe such things than people of later generations when they learn about it.
Just look at Mrs. Miao and you will know that she is afraid of Zaohua going to Cao's house again, and she immediately thinks that her niece will have the same experience.
It was pitiful that Miao Xiang had experienced such a thing, but fortunately everyone in the village believed it, and she was still young, so the villagers didn't talk nonsense. She would be fine in a few years when she grows up.
Poor, it's still the Xiaohui from later generations.
In the era of shining red stars, this kind of thing, whether it was exposed by the news or not, was actually everywhere, countless.
It’s just that there are too few people who really pay attention to it.
