751 The Innocent Sister-in-Law Ten Yang Datie Opens Up First
Yang Datie opened one eye first and saw the kitchen knife right next to his little finger. The blade was deeply embedded in the wooden table. It is not difficult to imagine that if this knife were to hit his hand, half of his palm would definitely be cut off.
Apart from fear, I was filled with anger: "What do you want to do?"
Chu Yunli sneered: "You bully my sister's family, right? If you dare to do those bastard things, I'll kill you later. You'll still suffer while you're alive anyway, and at worst, you won't be able to live anymore."
Yang Datie was startled. As for what happened to Osmanthus fragrans, he had not seen it with his own eyes, but he had heard about it. It was really not a good thing.
Chen Guihua is now young and able to work hard, but she is disliked by her husband's family. When she gets old and frail, or becomes bedridden one day, she will really have no choice but to wait for death. She will work hard every day just for a bite.
It's really better to die than to eat.
"Sister, don't be impulsive."
Chu Yunli snorted: "Send your guest away, otherwise..."
She looked fierce, and the fat man didn't know who she was, but he knew why she came here, and what happened today was definitely not going to happen. To put it bluntly, he came here to spend money to make himself happy. There is no need for this.
The matter provoked such a ruthless person. Therefore, after hearing this, he immediately stood up: "I still have something to do at home, so let's take a step first."
After saying that, he quickly ran away.
As soon as the person left, the room became very quiet. Taohua was moved and scared at the same time: "My child's father, don't be angry. My sister is here for me too."
"Why is he angry?" Chu Yunli said solemnly: "I'm still angry. Yang Datie, I'm leaving my words here today. If this happens again, we will all die together! If you don't believe it, just try it!"
Yang Datie hangs around all year round and is most afraid of encountering such a desperate person. He managed a smile and said: "Sister, where did you go? That eldest brother is here as a guest. I have a good rapport with him, so
Then I asked Taohua to prepare some peanuts and drink with him."
"It's best this way." Chu Yunli pulled out the kitchen knife and walked out.
Behind him, Yang Dati stared at Taohua fiercely.
The person who left suddenly turned back as if he had eyes: "Yang Datie, do you dare to bully my sister?"
She held a kitchen knife, as if she was about to chop it down at any time. Yang Datie shook his head hastily: "It's nothing."
Chu Yunli said to Taohua again: "No one will make the decision for you, just come to me."
Seeing that Taohua agreed, she walked out.
On the road, Chu Yunli hid the kitchen knife and quickly headed to Hong's house.
These days, the Chen family and his wife often say bad things about Guihua outside, saying that she is not honest when she gets married and insists on taking care of her family's affairs... Of course, no sensible person will think it is Guihua's fault. In private,
There are many people who criticize the Chen couple for not being human beings.
In the next few days, people in the village were busy with the autumn harvest every day, and the Hong family was no different. In the afternoon of this day, several thunders sounded, and it started pouring rain, as if it had leaked.
After many days, all the undried wheat has sprouted. Walking along the paths in the village, you can hear sighs coming from every house.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month later, the sky became clear again, but it was already too late. The wheat had all sprouted, and it could not be sold for a price even if it was dried... Of course, having the sun is better than not having it at all, so every household turned out the wheat and wheat stalks to dry them.
The same goes for the Hong family.
The brother and sister have never completely reconciled since their quarrel that day. They would stab each other every time they ate, and they were afraid that the other would be lazy when they were working. Although they didn't fight, they often choked.
The autumn tiger is so powerful that no one dares to stand in the sun during the day. The wet wheat straw dries quickly, and the surrounding forest becomes more and more scorched, as if a spark can ignite it.
That night, Chu Yunli was ready to go to bed... It is worth mentioning that Hong Huaqi was so exhausted a few days ago that he had no intention of consummating the marriage. Recently, he was not so tired, but he still had no such thoughts.
.So, although the two of them were in the same room, they were in peace with each other.
After Chu Yunli washed up, she wiped her hair after entering the house.
Hong Huaqi, who was half leaning on the bed, looked at her and suddenly said: "Osmanthus, I seem to be getting old."
It's not that he is old. Chu Yunli just gave him some medicine. As long as he doesn't eat at home for three to five days, he will return to normal.
"You have three children, so you should grow old."
Hearing this, Hong Huaqi narrowed his eyes: "Don't you want to have a child of your own?"
"Is that something you can have just by thinking about it?" Chu Yunli stretched out her hand to cover her stomach: "I'm so cold. If I want to have a child, I have to drink medicine first. Are you willing to help me hire a doctor?"
Hong Huaqi was reluctant to part with the family's money before it was stolen. Now that the family has just lost a lot of blood, almost all the savings have been taken away by Xiaobai. He was willing to part with it, and the couple were reluctant to part with it.
Again, the Hong family already has three grandsons. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have any more icing on the cake. Spending money on them is a waste.
Speaking of money, Hong Huaqi thought of Xiaobai again and gritted his teeth with hatred: "That bastard Xiaobai stole the money from the family and must have taken it back for funerals. Damn it, the whole family will not be able to do it even if they are not dead.
Such an immoral thing. If I can wait until I have time, I will go to the city to look for it."
He was so angry that he fell asleep quickly because he was too tired during the day.
When Chu Yunli was about to go to bed, she suddenly noticed a shadow in the yard and could vaguely hear light footsteps. Thinking of the strange fire in the Hong family in her previous life, she instantly became energetic and quietly slipped to the window to look out.
Under the moonlight, a figure could be seen working under the eaves. Chu Yunli rushed over and opened the door.
"Who is there?"
The person at the door did not expect that he would be exposed. He was startled, turned around and ran out.
At the same time, Hong Huaqi woke up and saw a figure running wildly outside. His sleepiness was instantly swept away, and he chased him out the door.
There was no movement in the room where the child slept. The doors of the two houses next door opened at the same time. Father Hong frowned: "What happened?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already seen the two barrels under the eaves.
The weather was hot, and the smell of kerosene could be smelled from a long distance away. Chu Yunli came closer and took a look, and immediately felt happy. Two barrels of kerosene were not cheap, and it would be worth selling them.
A few taels of silver.
Hong's mother ran over in her clothes. She also smelled the smell of kerosene, but she couldn't believe that the two barrels were both. She quickly went into the house and lit a candle and came out. After seeing clearly what was in the barrel, she was not happy, only surprised.
"What did that person do with two barrels of kerosene here?"
Hong Hualan looked at it for a long time: "It can't be that you are sending money to our family, or... you want to buy a house?"
The Hong family couple didn't believe it. Two barrels of kerosene were not cheap. On such a day, if a fire was thrown in, the whole house would be burned. Is it necessary to go to such trouble?
Besides, no one in my family has such a deep hatred against anyone.
Mother Hong thought so and said so.
Hong's father couldn't figure it out, so he chased after him. Of course he couldn't catch up, and even Hong Huaqi came back empty-handed.
The family sat in front of the two barrels of kerosene for a long time. Hong's mother made a final decision: "We will move to town tomorrow and sell them all. It is very dangerous to keep so much kerosene at home. Or we can ask people in the village to buy a pound of kerosene for each family."
, let’s talk about it after we get the silver in exchange.”
Chu Yunli reminded: "I think these two barrels of kerosene not only want to set the house on fire, they also want to burn us all to death. Think about it, if this oil is poured in a circle around the house, and there is another fire,
Who can escape?"
"We don't have any enemies in our family." Hong's mother rolled her eyes and said with a look of disbelief: "Besides, you need so much kerosene to kill people, how can you waste it?"
For the Hong family, the kerosene was not cheap, at least they would never buy it to burn down other people's houses. But for Xiaobai, it was just a matter of words.
"Okay, go to sleep!"
Hong Hualan suggested: "I will go with my mother tomorrow morning, and you can dry the wheat at home."
It was good that she didn't say anything, but Hong Huaqi was unhappy when he heard it: "I'm going too. This will save my mother from giving you the money again. I just don't know, and I will be angry again if I know."
Hong Hualan glared at him: "For that matter, how long has it been since then? Why do you still remember it? Besides, the land deed has been returned to you, what else do you want?" As she said this, she shed tears: "I knew it clearly back then.
You can get married because my parents were busy doing housework and didn't take time to see me properly, so I delayed until now. I haven't been idle these years, why do I dislike you so much?
"
She didn't cry before, but she learned it recently because she suddenly discovered that in her parents' hearts, whoever cried was justified.
Sure enough, when Hong's mother saw it, she immediately scolded: "This thing hasn't been sold yet, and you are already thinking about the money. Boss, do you have anything else on your mind besides money? This is your biological sister!"
Hong's father felt a little uneasy, his eyelids were twitching wildly, and he shouted: "Stop making noise. Go back to bed early!"
On the other side, the people who left the kerosene and fled did not dare to stop for a moment after arriving in the town. They ran to the dense forest outside the town to pull out the carriage and headed directly to the city.
The attempt to burn the house with kerosene failed, so I don't dare to come back for a while. If I get caught, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape.
A few days later, Hong Hualan went to town... After Xiaobai left, she liked to run to town when she had time, always looking forward to finding Xiaobai or getting news about Xiaobai.
When she came back, she brought a roast chicken.
The Hong family is relatively wealthy. This year's wheat has sprouted, and many people in the village are going hungry. But the Hong family does not need it, because they have saved a lot of grain in previous years, and they can sell the old grain and eat the sprouted grain themselves.
Of course, even if there is food to eat, since the money earned is much less, I still save a little more than in previous years. I only occasionally buy roast chicken and take it home to beat it as a gift.
Naturally, there is no share of Chen Guihua for such a good thing. Chu Yunli brought the steamed buns out from the kitchen, and a chicken had been distributed to each bowl. Each of the two children had a chicken leg, and the younger one gnawed on the wings.
One wing was in Hong's father's bowl, and the chicken was divided between mother and son. Even the meatless chicken neck was grabbed by Hong's mother and gnawed on it.
Chu Yunli didn't want to look any further. After putting the buns down, she brought the porridge back. When she sat down, she suddenly smelled a faint smell of medicine. Next to her was Hong Hualan.
Hong Hualan noticed that she was looking at the chicken legs in her bowl, and snorted: "What are you looking at? I bought roast chicken, but I didn't get the legs and wings. No matter how much I look at them, I won't give them to you."
"I don't want to eat it." Chu Yunli said sincerely.
However, no one believed it. Hong Hualan bit off a large piece of chicken breast as if to show off.
Chu Yunli clicked her tongue in her heart. The most unpalatable part of the whole chicken was the chicken breast, which was choking and not easy to taste. She didn't look away and concentrated on eating her meal.
Because they had to chew bones, the family ate a little slower today. After a quarter of an hour, there was only a mess on the table, and the bones were fed to the dogs. Chu Yunli put away the dishes and chopsticks while quietly observing the movements of the family.
Sanwa was the first to react. He was young and was the first to eat the meat. He held his stomach and ran to the latrine.
This run brought along other people. After the three brothers each ran, it was the Hong brothers and sisters, and then the husband and wife. The whole family seemed to be rushing, one after another.
Soon, everyone discovered that the latrines were not enough.
The Hong family has only had one hut for many years, and this situation may have happened before. The hut was given to the man, and the mother and daughter went to the pig pen.
When it got dark, the children and the brother and sister could no longer run. They didn't go back to their rooms, and just squatted beside the hut.
After Chu Yunli finished cleaning up, he asked, "Are we going to take the wheat back today?"
The wheat is sun-dried a lot. If you collect it every day and dry it out in the morning, it will add up to a lot of work. If the weather is good for several days, you don't need to collect it.
Hong's mother waved her hand: "You can help me!"
Chu Yunli turned around and left, not hiding her joy: "Fortunately, I didn't eat."
Hong Hualan: "..."
"Don't gloat about your misfortune. You just want to get upset. You're not that lucky."
Chu Yunli nodded: "I really can't bear this blessing. Enjoy it."
Hong Hualan was so angry.
When she was unhappy, Hong Huaqi felt relieved and said, "Sister, where did you buy the chicken? Something went wrong with the chicken. Will their family pay for it?"
Hong Hualan ignored his weirdness, and thought about it seriously, saying: "I heard on the street that there is a new roast chicken seller in the town. It tastes very good. The price is also fair, and it is sold out early every day. I hurried
When I passed by, there was only one left, I don’t know if he is still there.”
Chu Yunli asked curiously: "Is the roast chicken seller male or female? Where did he get the chicken for you?"
At this time, Hong Hualan had no energy and didn't want to talk to her. But when she turned around and saw her parents waiting for her answer, she recalled, "He's a man, probably in his twenties. He looks quite young, and his face is a bit...
White, delicate skin on hands..."
Hong Huaqi couldn't stand listening anymore and mocked: "Are you going to buy chickens or to see people?"
As soon as he said this, Hong Hualan stared at him fiercely: "I thought he was fairer, so I took another look. How many fair people can you find in this town? Roast chicken is taken from the basket. I don't
I thought it would be stale and sold out early every day, so there would be no leftovers. Oops, it won’t work anymore!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran out again.
Chu Yunli reminded: "It's okay for others to eat, but you have a stomachache. Do you remember those two barrels of kerosene a few days ago?"
Hearing this, the Hong family looked at each other in shock.
Hong's father frowned: "What kind of hatred or grudges are there?"
Regarding what happened today, they tended to be unlucky and happened to encounter a chicken with a problem.
The smell of the latrines and pig pens is indescribable. At night, none of the Hong family slept, not because they didn’t want to sleep, but because they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to run to the latrines in time. All three children had shit on their pants... The children could barely explain it, but if they were adults,
It's like this, I'm afraid it will make people laugh to death.
Chu Yunli slept lightly, listening to people coming and going outside, and she didn't sleep well all night. At dawn, when Chen Guihua got up in the past, she also got up.
Hong's mother didn't shout today. She could actually sleep a little longer, but she really couldn't fall asleep.
As soon as I went out, I saw people lying on the wheat in the yard. They all looked blue and seemed to have lost weight after just one night.
"You're here just in time..." Hong's mother said weakly: "Go and ask a doctor quickly."
Chu Yunli spread his hands: "I don't have any coins."
Hong's mother wanted to get up to get it, but her hands and feet were weak. After trying it for a while, she poured it back. She did not force herself and ordered: "Put it in the empty bottle in the corner of the table in my room."
Chu Yunli went into the house, poured a handful of coins from the bottle, and went out to the town.
She took her time and didn't look for an ox or a carriage. She took a leisurely stroll and arrived in the town half an hour later. She went to the cheapest doctor in town.
After arriving at the hospital, he pretended to be cowardly and did not come forward. He only waited for the doctor to finish treating the patients in the hospital one by one, and then he said slowly: "Doctor, my family has a stomachache, please follow me.
I'll take a trip."
At this time, the sun was high in the sky and it was already past noon.
Hearing this, the doctor looked embarrassed and said, "No, someone has made an appointment and said they would come up to pick up the medicine in the afternoon. They come from the mountains, so it's not an easy trip, but we can't let people go empty-handed. You can go ask another doctor!"
"
Chu Yunli didn't think much about it, but she went to three medical clinics in a row with the same rhetoric. She immediately understood that there was no such coincidence in the world. Either someone had said hello in advance, or the person behind it was really
Let the patient come and make an appointment with the doctor.
At the last medical clinic left, Chu Yunli got the same answer. She thought about it and grabbed some medicine.
If nothing was taken back, the Hong family would probably be so angry that they would kill someone.
Chu Yunli carried two bags of medicine and walked back slowly. Just when she was about to leave the town, a man suddenly rushed out, grabbed the medicine and ran away.
She held on tightly, but the man couldn't pull her away even after pulling twice.
After this delay, Chu Yunli raised his foot and kicked him.
She didn't want to give the medicine to the Hong family, but she couldn't let anyone snatch it from her hands. With such skill, the man flew out and hit the ground hard.
Chu Yunli took two hurried steps and stepped on his chest: "Robbing me?"
The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks saw that something was wrong and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sister-in-law, please forgive me. I got distracted at the moment. Please spare me this time."
Chu Yunli narrowed her eyes, bent down and grabbed his collar: "Get up."
Someone was grabbing something here, and pedestrians gathered around. Some scolded the robber and deserved to be beaten, while others begged for mercy.
In the commotion, Chu Yunli asked in a low voice: "Tell me who asked you to rob, and I will let you go."
The man was startled and subconsciously denied: "No one let me rob him."
Chu Yunli sneered: "When a thief is caught, anyone who sees him can be beaten. There are so many people watching the fun, do you want to die?"
The man looked around and saw that someone was already rolling up his sleeves and clenching his fists. He was immediately startled. Without much hesitation, he whispered: "Maybe you offended someone outside. Anyway, that person asked me to stay here and said that as long as I see him
Just show up with the medicine and snatch it away."
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes: "How many benefits did it give you?"
Hearing this, the man's face turned bitter: "Ten...twelve!"
"It's a big deal." Chu Yunli scolded: "You are so stupid, please compensate me!"
The man just wanted to get away as soon as possible, so he took out the money, stuffed it into her hand, and ran away.
When everyone saw the silver, they exclaimed. Chu Yunli raised his voice and said, "He paid me compensation and he knew he was wrong. Let's forget it this time."
It's twelve taels.
"He shouldn't be let go. I don't know where he got so much money." Someone shouted.
Everyone had already run away, and it was useless to say more. Chu Yunli said that he had something to go home, so everyone had to disperse.
Back at Hong's house, Chu Yunli didn't say anything about being robbed, only that all the doctors refused to visit her.
The Hong family didn't believe it, but there was medicine, so they had to drink it first.
Chu Yunli only said that a family member had a stomachache and asked the doctor to prescribe whatever medicine he wanted. But in fact, the Hong family members had a stomachache not because of eating dirty food, but because of poisoning.
Therefore, I drank two doses of medicine separately, but there was no improvement at all.
The most serious case was that the Hong couple were already drowsy by evening.
The whole family was sick. Zhou Dafu, Hong's mother's brother, brought his daughter-in-law to the house to take care of him. He also went to ask for a doctor, but no one was invited, and he only got two sets of medicine.
But the medicine was useless, and waiting at home was not an option. He found a carriage and dragged the family to the town.
The Hong family members all left, and naturally Chu Yunli didn't stay either. The person who had to stay was the one who looked after the house, and that wasn't her either.
Zhou Dafu asked his two children to look after the house and took Chu Yunli to the town.
This time, the doctor at the medical center did not shirk. He found a place to accommodate a few people and quickly prepared the medicine. Chu Yunli boiled it. After drinking it, the whole family fell asleep.
Chu Yunli took the time to go to the street. There were not many strangers coming and going in this town. It didn't take much for her to find out that a young man came from the city two days ago and stayed in the best inn in the town.
.
However, the young man has not shown up since he moved in.
*
Early in the morning, Zhang Mingqiu, also known as Xiaobai, had just gotten up when he heard a knock on the door. He thought it was someone from the inn delivering breakfast, and casually said: "Come in!"
Someone came in and didn't go to the table. He just stood in front of him.
Zhang Mingqiu frowned and scolded: "People in small places just don't have rules..."
After he saw the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't continue talking.
Chu Yunli said calmly: "Xiaobai, I'm here to collect the debt."
