Since the Xu family's excitement happened at night, it didn't cause any uproar that day. But it didn't happen the next day, especially when I saw Xu Daguo sweeping the village road with a broom.
Wanghe Village's rules include not only whipping, but also cleaning of the village roads, which is considered the most severe punishment in the village rules. Although you don't get beaten, you will be embarrassed, and you will be swept clean for three months, three times in the morning, noon and evening.
Untouchable.
The person who cleaned the village road last time has passed away, and this village rule has not been used for a long time. Jiang Jianye accepted the mercy and only dealt with Xu Daguo and his wife and Xu Kun's wife. Xu Jin was not held accountable.
Xu Kun's wife was sent directly to Maoshan Town to build roads for half a year because of "lax parenting" and "inciting children" and other evil deeds. Before leaving, she was whipped ten times at the head of the village to remind the villagers.
Soon, what happened to the Xu family last night was known to the whole village.
There are those who watch the fun, there are those who gloat, and there are those who sneer...
Regardless of his attitude, Xu Daguo's status and prestige in the village are definitely gone. Not only that, He Li is still waiting for him. After a few days of tossing, the old man is visibly thin.
The villagers also discovered that Ms. Xu, who often came to the village to chat with her belly full, had not shown up recently.
No need to ask, you all know the reason: fetal gas requires rest.
It is unclear whether Xu Daguo regretted it, but Geng lived a very happy life. Three times every morning, noon and evening, he swept the roads in the village without hesitation, and he swept them clean, very seriously. When he was not sweeping the roads, he went to work in the workshop.
At noon and evening, I have to go to my daughter-in-law’s house to help cook.
Every day is busy and fulfilling.
Xu Yudi's "hard days" have also come. Due to the autumn harvest and school holidays, he has to come to the workshop to work every day and work in exchange for food. He works too slowly and cannot work, so Geng neither beats him nor
If you don't scold him, just don't give him food. Anyway, it won't be a problem if you give him a meal or two.
My biological father is far away in southern Xinjiang, and my biological mother is sent to build roads. My biological grandfather has no hope at all.
Over time, the children finally recognized the reality, worked obediently, worked hard, and did not dare to complain anymore.
The large-scale autumn harvest is over, and it is the children's turn to scavenge. This time, there is no need for Geng's instructions. Xu Yudi goes to the ground with a basket after breakfast every day. Scavenging is much easier than working in a workshop.
When he saw Li Heng taking his brother and sister to the fields to scavenge, he walked over in disbelief and said:
"Your father is a prostitute and you still scavenge? Why are you here? Where is your sister?"
Li Heng did not raise his head and said while picking up the ears:
"My father is raising people and he won't delay me in scavenging! My sister and brother are busy with important things in the workshop, so how can they fool around with us. Four eggs are done quickly, and when the basket is full, we go home to eat cheese."
When Li Huai heard that there was something to eat, he quickly lowered his head to pick it up and stopped watching the fun.
Don't underestimate scavenging. If there are many children in the family and they are diligent, they can pick up sixty or seventy kilograms of grain, enough to feed the family for more than half a month.
The brothers and sisters were walking in the ditch to pick up waste. Xu Yudi stared at the back for a long time, wondering what was going on in his mind. The movement of picking up waste under his feet was much faster than before.
Cheng Xue patted Geng on the shoulder and comforted her softly:
"Don't worry, Auntie, I've told Tiedan well, and with him following me, I can influence Brother Di in a positive way."
"Wouldn't that delay Tiedan?"
"No delay, don't worry."
With such a guarantee from her, Mr. Geng breathed a sigh of relief and swung the broom to work even more energetically. Xu Kun's wife was sent to repair the road. She thought her parents' family would come back to make trouble, but she didn't expect that her parents' family was not even there. She was probably afraid of the Xu family's wrath.
Divorced his wife.
Liangyan has a clear stipulation that if the daughter-in-law makes a big mistake when the son is not at home, the parents can divorce the wife on behalf of the son.
Xu Kun's wife was both "instigating" and "provoking", all of which were enough for her to go home and eat herself. Geng's consideration was not comprehensive, but during the most critical period of time for the child, he must not have any interaction with her. Even if
When she came back half a year later, Xu Yudi couldn't come to her.
Scavenging is a job for children, and adults also have their own business.
Jiang Jianye took advantage of the period when the taxed grain was not available and organized people who were not working in the village to go to the mountains to harvest the autumn harvest. If you can find sticks, it's good. If you can't find them, just break some pine cones, pick some hazelnuts, fungus, mushrooms, etc., or go to the workshop.
Exchange money.
I have to say that having a workshop in the village is very convenient for the villagers. Almost every household is not short of pocket money. I went to work for two days in my spare time and the wages were settled very happily.
Cheng Xue was not idle either. She let Tiandong drive her every day and took her around the village. Not only did he show that he was paid to collect mountain goods, but he also rang a bell and went to see a doctor along the way.
Half a month passed, and she received a lot of goods, but not many doctors were seen. Even though she made it clear that it was "free medical treatment", there were still very few people who came to see her.
Most old women don't use her at all. After all, they know their own bodies well. So what if they have lost most of their lives? What's more, the medicinal materials are so expensive, it's better not to know about them and live a few more years.
Several autumn rains forced the punishment of Xu Daguo and his wife to stop. Taking advantage of the day off from work, the two, accompanied by Xu Jin and Dong Cheng, finally went to the town to reconcile. Before that, Xu Jin found Cheng Xue,
She wanted her to help negotiate an agreement, but Cheng Xue didn't respond. After all, the situation was irreversible and Geng had made up her mind.
Liang Yan is very relaxed about divorce. As long as both parties are willing and the children agree, the official media will not stop it. On the contrary, divorcing his wife is the most cumbersome and requires conclusive evidence.
On the day of the separation, Xu Daguo came back. Whether it was to anger Mr. Geng or something, he generously went to his sixth aunt and asked her to help find a wife.
Good guy, what a good guy! This operation directly suppressed the villagers.
Dong Cheng felt embarrassed and ordered no one in the family to tell the Xu family, let alone go to the Xu family. Xu Jin was so annoyed that he hid in the forest farm to work, pretending not to know. It was a pain for his wife, but her persuasion was fruitless.
, take the child back to her parents’ home.
Looking at Geng's side, He Liwan bought meat and fish in the county. After returning to the village, he notified several people with whom he had good relations to come over for dinner and celebrate in the evening.
I can't see any sadness at all, but I can see relief.
Cheng Xue stood in the warehouse and walked around and around. It was no problem to eat in the past, but...how should I send this thing?
"Madam, in my humble opinion, please send the second young master some small clothes."
Xu Kun's wife has not been doing her job since her husband left, and has made a mess of taking care of the children. Several times, Bai Shao saw Mr. Geng taking time to catch up on clothes. Although her attitude was indifferent, after all, she was a grandson, so it hurt her.
Cheng Xue heard this and thought it was reliable, so she went to the corner to open a box, picked out Li Heng's small clothes, and moved some out...
