The walk from here to Aunt Ahua's house takes about two-thirds of the village.
Along the way, the houses on the left and right side of the road were all dark, and no one had a light on. It looked like everyone had taken a rest.
But these people had just run back, so how could they really be asleep?!
Qi Bao'er and Chen Yi could feel it. Along the way, many eyes were fixed on them.
Aunt Ahua's family didn't feel this, but they could guess it. They looked at the houses to the left and right, all with deep vigilance, as if they were afraid that the people inside would rush out again and yell at them like they did just now.
.
When passing a brick house, the big tree, which had been quiet all the way, suddenly spat at the house and cursed in a low voice.
Chen San is an elf. His eyes flashed and he immediately approached the big tree, "Does the person living here have a grudge against your family?"
Qi Bao'er: What I'm asking is, which family in this village doesn't have any grudge against this family now?
The people are afraid of officials, and they are even more afraid of the prince's bodyguards.
When Chen San opened his mouth to ask, Dashu knew everything and felt proud of being loved by a noble person.
"That was originally the house owned by Member Zheng from our village. Member Zheng was very kind to outsiders. My brother and I often ate the food he gave us when we were young."
Yuan Wai Zheng was a distant relative of another family in their village who also had the surname Zheng. Yuan Wai Zheng seemed to have come to their village to rest due to some illness. He only lived in their village for two years and then left. Along with another family surnamed Zheng
Others also left together.
Now that the Zheng family has left, this house will be empty.
Qiaoni is good-looking, not comparable to the girls from wealthy families in the city, but in the village, she is already one of the most iconic girls.
Zheng?
As soon as he heard this surname, Qi Baoer immediately thought of the Zheng family in Beijing.
Dashu and Ershu had been hungry as long as they could remember, and it was even more embarrassing to wear new clothes.
The village head of Wangjia Village has always been chosen by those with high moral standing and seniority. This is also because the surnames are too complex and the elders have more prestige.
This is how the marriage between Qiao Ni and Tie Zhu came about.
Speaking of this, Aunt Ahua felt ashamed and her face was filled with embarrassment.
Her second sister-in-law once told her that Tie Zhu had compensated their family ten taels of silver for this, and also bought a lot of compensation gifts.
At this time, Aunt Ahua stood up and said something fair: "In the past, the village chief was not a bad person, but he was deceived by the fake Taoist priest."
Their current village chief is the old man with larger-than-average nostrils that Chen Yi and others saw on the high platform just now.
Chen San was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked doubtfully: "Is the Zheng family back again?"
Their village is called Wangjia Village. Their ancestors fled here from various places, and then they got together to open up wasteland along the river and built a village.
This is a family scandal. If the person in front of her were someone else, Aunt Ahua would never tell her about it even if she died.
In their impression, only Zheng, whom Dashu spoke of, would often see them secretly stuffing some food for them when they were eating grass from hunger, and would carry people on his back when he saw them wearing patched clothes.
Get some old clothes for them to take back and have Aunt Ahua change them for them to wear.
.... Dashu said in a disappointed tone: "Zheng Yuanwai left not long after he lived in our village."
How bad can such a person be?
The village chief had never wanted to occupy the Zheng family's house. Otherwise, the Zheng family had left their village for more than ten years. If he had had the intention, he would have occupied it long ago.
But the person in front of her was not only the prince, but also the savior of her family.
So, the second brother's family used a trick to stun the generous Tie Zhu who was passing by their village to stay overnight, and made Qiaoni lie with him all night. The next day, they yelled at Tie Zhu for drunkenly bullying Qiaoni.
"It's all that fake Taoist priest, and it's also my niece who has no shame."
People have never had any thoughts towards her, they just look at the pity of their orphans and widowed mothers. Sometimes a few kilograms of rice, sometimes a few pieces of cloth. When they go to the city and come back, they see big trees and small trees, and they just stuff two candies.
past.
There is a saying that "there is a lot of trouble at a widow's door". If there are more taboos, even Aunt Ahua's husband's family is not very good at helping her, and her mother's family also has some scruples. In addition, life is not easy for everyone these days.
.
Anyway, I walked along this way and had nothing to do, so I started to talk about it.
When Aunt Ahua saw that Prince Xian was interested in this, she immediately started talking with excitement, her face turned red.
Laizi's family is poor, so naturally she can't get into the eyes of her second aunt.
As a young widow with two children under five years old and no one to help her, you can imagine how miserable her life must have been.
Qi Baoer: "Huh?"
Compared with her so-called relatives who watched her die, and her niece who even lit the fire herself, she didn't care about a house that was not scandalous. It was no longer her home.
There are obviously people living in that house. Listening to the sound of breathing, there are quite a few people.
Aunt Ahua was a widow. When Ershu was only two years old, her husband-in-law was crushed by a falling beam when he went to the city to help people repair a house. He died not long after he was carried home.
The reason why Aunt Ahua said that the village chief is not a bad person is because during the years when Ahua was a widow, the village chief helped their family more than her husband's family and her natal family.
Aunt Ahua didn't know the reason, but it seemed to have something to do with Tiezhu's mother.
Aunt Ahua's second sister-in-law is a greedy person who only cares about money. With Qiao Ni's appearance, her second sister-in-law has always wanted to send Qiao Ni to a rich family to be a concubine, so that she can make a fortune and help the family in the future.
.
Chen Yi's eyes also darkened.
Their village is not all of the same clan like Qijia Village. Although there are only about 200 people, there are a total of seven or eight surnames, so there are a lot of taboos between men and women.
only···
Aunt Ahua sighed and said with some sadness: "Maybe this is retribution. Qiaoni couldn't keep the child in her belly at that time."
When she was still a girl, she got close to a local lair in the village. The two even had skin-to-skin contact and were pregnant with a child.
Er Shu also squeezed over at some point and said angrily: "It's not Zheng Yuanwai and the others who live in it. That house was robbed by the village chief and the others, and now that bullshit Taoist priest lives in it."
It turns out that Tiezhu's daughter-in-law, Aunt Ahua's niece Qiaoni, is not a decent woman.
She is easy to talk to, but she is not stupid. She couldn't tell whether the torch Qiao Ni threw was an accident or intentional?!
Qiaoni's current child was born two years later; so Aunt Ahua always believed that this child was Tiezhu's.
But now that I think about it...
Once people start eating melons, it is easy to ignore other love affairs, such as the fear in their hearts.
Erya, who had been huddled behind Aunt Ahua, had moved to Aunt Ahua's side unconsciously.
"Qioni's child is definitely not one of Tie Zhu's. Mom, hasn't Qioni come back often these years? She always stays for a long time when she comes back. As soon as Qioni comes back, the scoundrel will always come to our place."
