As the head of the village, he couldn't keep an eye on the Li family. He had his own things to do. He kept waiting for Zhu Yuanwai's sedan chair to carry people away. Later he found out that something had happened to the Li family. By the time he found out, it was too late. The Song family had been taken away.
Carry away.
Even if he later heard that she was tied up and sent to the sedan chair, he could only sigh. She is from the Li family. If the Li family sells her, the rest of the village will have nothing to do. He, as the head of the village, cannot control others.
I can only turn a blind eye to family matters.
When I heard about the Song family today, I naturally understood that something had happened to the Song family. He sighed and said, "Master, could it be that something happened to the Song family? Alas! There is no other way. It is difficult for an upright official to handle housework, and the Song family has a poor life.
That’s all.”
After hearing this, Luo Da wanted to roll his eyes. What kind of words are these? If Mrs. Song was the daughter of the eldest son, would he still say such sarcastic words? But he also understood one thing: many times, everyone has nothing to do with them.
Hang up, but if a knife was inserted into one's heart, everyone would be absolutely filled with indignation.
He said lightly: "Song's uncle is not unlucky. Her great-uncle happened to encounter her being forced to be pawned and sold, so he rescued her. Now Song's great-uncle wants to talk to you."
Upon hearing this, the head of the village knew that Luo Da was on the other side, and felt a little panicked. You must know that the Song family only has deceased parents, and no other family members at all. How come there is another uncle?
The village chief didn't feel too good after knowing that the Song family was sold off, but this custom has always existed, and after the death of Song's parents, there was no natal family, so no one cared about the Song family. If there was a natal family
People in the Li family would never dare to be so arrogant.
After knowing what happened to the Song family, the head of the village asked about it and didn't care. But now Luo Da's arrival lets him know that this matter will not go away like this. If the Song family insists on pursuing it, it's okay to talk about it if it doesn't have anything to do with it, but
It would be troublesome if there was someone behind you.
At this moment, Luo Da saw the women of the Li Chang family, all of them pouting, because they thought Mr. Song must be living a very miserable life, only to find out that he had such bad luck and was rescued.
Song is just a fox JING!
You must know that most of the women in the village don't like Mrs. Song very much. She has never worked in the fields since she got married, and her skin is much whiter than theirs. However, the women in the village often have to go to the fields, and their skin is often tanned. Like Mrs. Song,
In comparison, the Song family is living a very good life.
This made the women in the village very jealous, and they became even more jealous after knowing that Mrs. Song had her feet bound. The most hateful thing was that when they wanted to ask Mrs. Song about something, they were told that Mrs. Song had nothing to say to them. This completely made the women in the village
They became enemies with the Song family.
When Song's sisters-in-law spoke ill of Song outside, they were very happy to hear it, and they also added fuel to the fire, as if Song had done something heinous.
This time the Song family was sold off, and the women in the village were secretly happy. They felt that the Song family deserved it. The Dafang family sucked the blood of other family members, and they were unwilling to do so! So when the Song family was taken away, no one wanted to help.
A handful.
It's just that I never thought that the Song family would still have relatives and be able to find people from the government. This is another matter. After hearing the news, the women of the eldest family all felt a little jealous in their hearts, but they didn't
I know why I came here.
Luo Ziran also found the appearance of those women, a little strange that they were full of malice towards the Song family, but his mother-in-law said that this Song family was basically a harmless woman, and her favorite was embroidery, and his family also got a beautiful painting.
It's too big and really nice.
He couldn't figure out what was going on, but he didn't intend to ask. After all, there were differences between men and women, and the most important thing was that when the Taoist priest arrived, Luo Da straightened his body and turned around, and then said: "Taoist priest
, right here.”
Because Luo Da was riding a mule and ran fast, he arrived at Lijia Village first, while Ling Xiao sat on the car and wanted to go slower, so she got out of the car. At this time, the head of the village also went out to see who it was.
I saw a Taoist priest who looked like a land fairy walking over, holding a whisk in his hand. He had an immortal air, his hair was all white, but his complexion was as rosy as a boy's. At first glance, he looked like an expert.
Fan.
He's an old god! After seeing the leader, he felt a little at a loss. At this time, Luo Da said in his ear: "Hurry in and make way for the Taoist leader. What are you doing here?"
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The head of the house was a little at a loss at this moment and walked stiffly into the courtyard. Then Ling Xiao walked in. Behind him was a man dressed like a scholar, and a woman with two children, followed by a man dressed as a slave.
The puppet is carrying a few stools in its hands.
Ling Xiao first looked at the chief and looked at the chief. He was an old man who walked with the same hands and feet. He should be regarded as the person with the highest status in the village, which is why she came to him. "Donor, be merciful and merciful!
"
Use the ability of the puppet to look at the chief. As a chief, he is the kind of person who basically doesn't care about other people's affairs. Fortunately, he hasn't done any serious evil. Of course, you can also see that he has a lot of minor problems.
But what can she say? She can't say anything at all. Who can be without any faults? Ling Xiao asked herself that she couldn't do that kind of complete self-sacrifice for others. She was the kind of person who also had minor faults.
In addition, although she complained that the people in this village were too cold-blooded, she also knew that sometimes there would be no benefit and who would help people? Sometimes helping people would not end well, and after a long time everyone would go their separate ways.
In addition, she also knows that according to ancient laws and regulations, buying and selling people has always been legal. Especially the elders in the family do have that right. Even if they are sold by the elders, they cannot hate the so-called elders. As the head of the village, they cannot easily interfere in other people's family affairs, including
Buying and selling people.
In addition, it is difficult for an upright official to intervene in household affairs, and it is not easy for him to interfere. Moreover, Mrs. Song is a woman, and he is suspected of having sex with men. As a man, he must not risk such suspicion to care for Mrs. Song.
Ling Xiao quickly understood Li Chang's inaction, especially the issue of Song's gender. If one mistake was made, it would turn into a romantic affair. Even though he himself had no contact with the Song family, it had passed through thousands of mouths.
After one try, there is no more innocence.
He does not have the right or the obligation to take care of other people's family affairs. Because it is possible that he did not rescue the Song family, but was labeled as a leader who can do less and do less.
Alas! The Song family's tragedy was caused by many factors. Ling Xiao knew that there were thousands of tragic characters in the world who had similar experiences. Misunderstandings and jealousies aggravated their or their tragedies. It was impossible to save them all.
But she can save the people around her.
And this time she deeply felt the most troublesome issue in ancient society: filial piety. She always thought that as a child, you must be filial to your parents. If you don't want to be filial to your parents, you should be struck by lightning and face it as a junior.
Show respect to your elders.
But we must not overly praise filial piety like in ancient times and say that filial piety comes first. Someone once said: All parents in the world are bad. However, this is not true. In fact, many parents are not qualified to be parents at all.
For example, Ling Xiao once saw on the Internet that a mother in a certain country asked her underage daughter to work as a prostitute, and specially introduced her daughter to prostitutes. In the mother's opinion, what she did was not wrong. After seeing the girl
When going to flirt with the prostitute, Ling Xiao wanted to ask: Does this kind of mother need to be filial?
At this moment, Ling Xiao also thought of the women's commandment. If women believe it deeply, wouldn't they be just a puppet with no thoughts, no self, and no self-esteem? Ah! There are good things that are inexplicable, and there are evil things that are indescribable. They endure humiliation and obediently follow the instructions of their elders.
Do what you are ordered to do without any resentment in your heart.
When he thought of this, Ling Xiao felt disgusted with the over-emphasis on filial piety. Filial piety means being filial, but first you need to be kind to your elders. It would be very bad if you only emphasize the responsibilities of the younger generation without mentioning the responsibilities of the elders.
Anyway, after passing this incident with the Song family, I had a feeling: Hey! Terrible filial piety! According to filial piety, if the Song family and her children encounter misfortune, they are not qualified to go to the government to sue the Li family members.
You must know that an unfilial hater can crush Song's mother and son to death. If Li Dalang's parents were here, they could even accuse Song's mother and son of being disobedient and unfilial. This is a serious crime and there is no chance of survival.
This is also the reason why Ling Xiao appears as a member of the Song family's father's tribe. She must not be inferior to the other party in terms of identity. Anyway, the clan consciousness is very strong in ancient times. It is normal for her to stand out as a member of the Song family's father's tribe, and others cannot find fault.
This is also the reason why women in ancient times should have a good relationship with their natal family.
The head of the village was a little frightened. You must know that he has seen some people in the world. Although he is a powerful figure in the village, when he comes to the county town, he is the lowest figure.
Dare to let go.
Ling Xiao was an extraordinary person at first glance. He had never come into contact with him before, and generally had no chance to get close to him. This was his first close contact, so naturally he was a little panicked and at a loss.
Ling Xiao didn't say anything. The yard was not too small. There was a chicken coop and a big dog. It was a little nervous at the moment and didn't even dare to bark. It drooped its tail and found a place to hide.
Then she didn't care about the dog anymore, and looked at another place where there was a tree planted with a few small square stools under the tree. She didn't say anything and went directly to the shade of the tree, where a puppet brought the stools.
Then sit down.
As the owner, the chief didn't dare to sit down. Ling Xiao glanced at him and said harmoniously: "Sir, please sit down!" The chief hesitated a little, feeling very restrained. Or his son sensed something was wrong, so he found a stool for the kiss.
Dad sat down, his legs were a little weak, so he sat down quickly to prevent himself from accidentally falling.
The director kept saying: "Taoist priest, you are polite." He wanted to say something nice, but found that he was very nervous, his voice was vibrating, his body was a little bent, and he did not dare to straighten his body in front of the noble man.
I found that my voice was trembling and I felt bad. There was a lot of sweat on my forehead. I didn't dare to wipe it at all. My lips also trembled. "Taoist priest, the sale of the Song family has nothing to do with the little old man."
."
When he said this, he tried hard to smile. At the same time, he saw the person sitting behind Ling Xiao. For a moment, he didn't know who it was, but he didn't dare to look more and looked back.
Ling Xiao looked at the chief and said, "I really can't blame the chief for my grandniece." The chief almost cried when he heard this. Fortunately, this Taoist priest is a reasonable person. You should know that noble people like to express their anger.
, he is really afraid that the noble man will plot against the people in the village in his anger, he is afraid.
You must know that they, the common people, can't compete with those nobles. He does not have any big responsibility for the Song family's sale this time, but he knows that the nobles say you have responsibility, and there is no explanation.
If he had known that the Song family had such a strong backing, he would have let his son marry the Song family. Alas! It was too late to say this, and the head of the village also knew that it was impossible, because his son was not a student and could not marry him.
Song family.
And at this moment Ling Xiao said: "This time I found the village chief out of necessity. This time it was for my grandniece. The daughter of the Song family was bullied for many years after marrying into the Li family. It was fine that I didn't know before, but now I know."
Naturally, I want to seek justice for my child. I don’t want the village chief to say anything, I just want the village chief to be a witness.”
Li Chang rubbed his hands. At this moment, he finally knew who the person who had been hanging his head was: Mrs. Song. Speaking of Mrs. Song, he had only met her a few times after being married for so many years. He really didn't know what he looked like.
.
At this moment, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at anyone. She had been brainwashed by the female virtue since she was a child, and she was basically a weakling. Now she did not dare to speak out at all. Fortunately, she knew that Ling Xiao would not harm her, so she could sit there.
The original owner kept watching, and Ling Xiao specifically said to her before coming: "Take a good look, if you continue to practice the womanly virtues you learned before, in the future, you will be the next Song family. After being plotted by others, you will be the next one."
Even if you sell it, you won’t know how to resist.”
The original owner sat there with his body upright at the moment, glanced at Ms. Song, and suddenly felt why everyone was bullying her, because she looked like a weakling, who would be bullied if not her?
Can a person live in this world without being wronged? No! I believe that even a person who is an emperor will sometimes be unsure and give in. So what will he do if he is treated unfairly?
Some people work hard in private, striving to reach the sky one day. Others are unwilling to work hard, but will vent their anger. Naturally, they want to find someone to bully, and Song is the one who was bullied.
, if she didn’t change herself, would she also end up like this?
When she was thinking about it, the village chief said: "Taoist! I can't take care of it. This matter belongs to the Li family. I, the chief of the village, can't do anything about it. You know, even though they are all surnamed Li,
, but they actually settled here later and have nothing to do with us Li clan members."
Ling Xiao said: "These poor Taoists only know because there are some things they want to tell you. You must know that the Li family is also from the village. There are some things they just want to ask the village chief to prove."
