Ye Sanyong, who innocently took the blame, didn't know what happened in the clan school, and was currently in the village trying to find out the news.
If you ask who is the most well-informed person in the village, the first one would definitely be the gossipy aunts and wives, followed by the idle men in the village.
The idle men are not engaged in production. They are all nocturnal spirits. They do a lot of sneaking around at night. Occasionally they squat in a corner. They even know about the bedside quarrel between husband and wife. They may know some news about the wheat seedlings being uprooted in Dayong's field.
.
Ye Sanyong found Er Gouzi, who he had a good relationship with. As soon as Er Gouzi saw him, he greeted him warmly, "Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been hanging out recently?"
"Live in the county."
Brother Ye Sanyong kindly stopped his shoulders and said, "Er Gouzi, I want to ask you something. Yesterday, a wheat seedling in my field was pulled out. Do the brothers in the village know what happened?"
"Third brother, I have heard about this matter. It was definitely not done by our own brothers!"
Ergouzi patted his chest and said, "Yesterday I was hiding in the cow widow's bed. I don't know what happened at night. Tiegen ordered some brothers to roast chicken last night. Maybe he would understand. I'll go get him."
Call and ask."
Ye Sanyong didn't let him run the errands. He directly handed a copper coin to the child playing next to him and asked him to call someone. Ergouzi said enviously, "Third brother, it seems that you are doing well in the county."
"Just goofing around."
Ye Sanyong didn't say much. He stuffed Ergouzi with a piece of silver and said, "Let's take it to get some wine. When we go to the county town, we brothers will go to the old place and have another meal."
Er Gouzi quickly put the money in his pocket and smiled broadly, "Our third brother is still generous and loyal. Who among our brothers in the village would not praise you?"
The two talked about their past friendship, and Tie Gen ran over panting, "Third brother, do you want to see me if you have anything to do?"
Ye Sanyong asked him what he wanted to inquire about, and there was a look of hesitation on Tie Gen's face. Ye Sanyong knew at a glance that something was going on, "There is no need to be taboo, if you want to talk about something, I have to know who is behind my brothers."
.”
"Third brother said that, I have nothing to hide. Last night I went home after eating chicken, and happened to meet your mother and the others coming back from the fields, carrying wheat seedlings on their shoulders. I thought it was my aunt who was planting wheat seedlings in the middle of the night.
I didn’t take it seriously. I woke up in the morning and found out that the wheat seedlings in Brother Dayong and your field had been pulled out..."
Ergouzi paused for a moment, feeling that this matter was really tiring. He looked at Ye Sanyong, who had darkened his face in embarrassment, and said, "There is no proof or proof for this matter, and I don't have the nerve to talk nonsense. After all, it's
Third brother, where is your mother? Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding.”
He didn't see anyone uprooting the seedlings with his own eyes. Maybe Li Erniang and the others went to work in the fields in the middle of the night. It was hard for him, an outsider, to get involved in a family with broken bones and tendons, lest they become no longer human beings inside and outside.
"Brother, I understand, thanks to you for telling me."
Ye Sanyong still handed over two taels of silver to express his gratitude. Ergouzi didn't dare to accept it. It wasn't that he didn't love money, but Sanyong's expression at this moment was so terrible, as if his mother had been killed.
But if this thing was really done by Li Erniang, it would really make no difference whether Ye Sanyong had a mother or not.
Ye Sanyong was already furious, but he still had sense and insisted on handing the money to Er Gouzi, but Er Gouzi couldn't refuse but continued.
At this moment, the child who had just reported the news ran over with a sniffling nose and shouted in a panic, "Uncle Sanyong, something bad has happened. Aunt Cui'er and Aunt Guihua are fighting."
The Ye family's sisters-in-law fought, to put it bluntly, it was because of their sons.
Ye Daiqun and Ye Daixuan came home injured. When Li Erniang and Li Cuier's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law asked, they heard that they were beaten by Hu's baby. The patriarch protected Hu's baby and only punished their children.
The two brothers are the treasures of the family. They are usually afraid of being bumped. Now they are beaten by the tiger boy of the eldest house who has always looked down on them. How can they bear it? Li Cuier is fast on her feet and runs to the eldest house with Ye Erniang ahead of Li Erniang.
The aunt started fighting.
This fight caught Ye Zhenzhen off guard.
She was applying medicine to the tiger baby in the house. When she heard the noise, Aunt Ye went out. Soon there were curses, followed by yells of pain, accompanied by the voices of the villagers trying to persuade her. She quickly put down the medicine bottle.
I went out with Cui Weizhen and saw the two of them fighting at the door.
Women fight, pull clothes and hair.
The same goes for Aunt Ye and Li Cuier. Now they are all rolling to the ground. You catch me and I catch you, and they are not willing to show weakness. The battle is very fierce.
This time it was difficult for Cui Weizhen to take action. Seeing that Aunt Ye had suffered a loss, Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly went to help, but was severely scratched by Li Cuier on the back of her hand, which made her blush immediately.
Is this man possessed by a cat demon?
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help shouting in pain and retreated. Cui Weizhen quickly came over to support her. His face darkened when he saw the three bright and dazzling scratches on the back of her white hands.
He did not let Ye Zhenzhen pass, but cupped his hands to the onlookers, "Please help me, aunties, to separate them first."
Everyone was very generous and stepped forward to stop the fight and finally managed to pull the two away.
Aunt Ye's clothes were messy and there were a few bloodstains on her cheeks. Li Cui'er didn't feel much better either. Both sides were hurt and each was in embarrassment.
Seeing the injuries on the back of her daughter's hands, Aunt Ye felt so distressed that she put her hands on her waist and cursed, "Li Cui'er, who has been stabbed a thousand times, your son beat my tiger baby, and now you are still bullying my daughter. How serious is that?"
Yejiacun is your Dafang’s world, it’s lawless!”
"I bother!"
Li Cuier spat, "It's your second wife who is shameless and colluded with the seventh uncle to bully my son. I'm here to ask for an explanation today. If Huwa doesn't kneel down and apologize to my son, this matter will never end!"
Li Erniang also ran over, and now she echoed, "Yes! Huba doesn't know the rules. He disrespected his brother, so he should apologize. Don't think that you, the second wife, are roaming the countryside just because of Brother Youzhen."
After saying that, she glared at Ye Zhenzhen fiercely, obviously still remembering the revenge of the last time she pissed.
There are such shameless people in this world!
Ye Zhenzhen sneered, "Although you are elders, you can't open your eyes and tell lies. Everyone in the class can clearly see that it was your son who beat the tiger baby first, and now you want to seek justice? Let me see,
It must be the people from your big house who are roaming the countryside!"
Among the onlookers were Huwa's classmates, who immediately came out to confirm that it was indeed Ye Daixuan who hit Huwa first.
When the two brothers returned home, they complained head-to-head. Li Er's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't know the specific reason for the fight at all, so they didn't feel ashamed after hearing it, and actually retorted confidently.
"The children in our family are all very well-behaved. Your tiger boy must have done something wrong. They treat him as an older brother, so they will teach him a lesson!"
