"I think she can't give birth to a son - not to mention a son, she didn't even give birth to a girl!" Lao Yang tilted his neck and poured the last bit of marinade into his mouth, wiped his mouth, "There are two mothers and two sons.
Not in a hurry?"
"Is it possible to beat your wife?" Yun Suji wondered what the reason was.
His daughter-in-law spoke at this time: "I heard from women that men who change their wives are useless, so they cannot give birth to sons..."
Lao Yang scolded: "What are you talking about! You have learned from the nonsense words of women who have no evidence and no evidence. Are your buttocks itchy again?"
Old Yang's wife was too frightened to speak.
Yun Suji said: "Lao Yang, you are wrong. Just now you said you would not beat your wife. Now you regret it? You are still not a man!"
Lao Yang quickly said: "Yes, yes, Chief, I am confused!"
Yun Suji thought to himself that he had gained a lot from this meal. He felt that what Old Wife-in-law Yang said was probably the truth. Only women know the best about women's affairs. He asked Old Wife-in-law Yang again: "You
What else do you know?"
Lao Yang's wife did not dare to speak, so Yun Suji said: "Don't worry! I will make the decision for you in everything. I am determined not to ask your man to slap your bare buttocks, or I will ask the guard to whip his buttocks with a pole!"
Lao Yang chuckled and said, "Say what you say. I'll pretend I didn't hear you."
Old Yang's wife then said: "...I heard it was caused by the disease while fleeing! It's pitiful to say the least!"
"Aren't you looking for some medicine?" Yun Suji thought that Runshitang was an old store specializing in medicines that nourished yin and replenished yang.
"See what you always say, when we villagers get sick, it's hard to resist, let alone how easy it is to mention his illness to others?"
Old Yang's wife continued: "He is pitiful, isn't Gai Feng even more pitiable? We women talk together on weekdays: Gai Feng is a widow, and Gai Feng's mother-in-law is even more of a naughty mother-in-law. Gai Feng's dead man is not here to send laborers, and during the day she
When a person goes to the field alone, Mrs. Cao has to give it to her, give it to her..."
Although Lao Yang's wife could not continue talking, Yun Suji asked in confusion: "What kind of land should I give her?"
Lao Yang's wife apologized and said with a smile: "It's all about women, I'll offend your ears by saying it!"
Yun Suji said: "It doesn't matter, let's talk and listen."
"I used needle and thread to sew her pants tightly together. If a few threads were torn when I got home at night, I would press her down on the bench and beat her! Gaifeng was so scared that she didn't even dare to take a sip of water. She went home every day
My face turned blue when I was crying, and a few times I wet my pants directly. Oh, what a sin..."
This is too vicious. Yun Suji couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this the poor man's version of a chastity belt? He originally thought that only European aristocrats played with it.
"Mrs. Cao is also from a poor family, right? How can she treat her daughter-in-law so harshly?"
"How can there be a child bride in a poor family? A child bride in a poor family is more miserable than coptis! She is really worse than a rough girl from a small grain household!" Lao Yang sighed, "When we were in our hometown, there was a spring famine.
Some people are talking about asking Heini to be a child bride for others, but I said I would rather let her starve to death at home than let her be tortured to death! Now the world has finally changed!"
Lao Yang's wife continued: "...After Gai Feng's dead man disappeared, she was afraid that Gai Feng would remarry, so she watched her even more closely. Not only did she have to use needle and thread to sew her pants when she went out, she even followed her at home when eating, going to the toilet, and sleeping.
Let Gai Feng sleep inside."
After dinner, Lao Yang's wife put away the dishes and made a pot of wild jujube leaf tea. Yun Suji asked: "Her son is gone. What do you want a wife for? She still cares so closely. What's the use?"
"Young widows are worth a lot of money." Old Yang said with a smile, "Nowadays, marrying a young widow requires a large sum of money as a gift. A young widow like Gaifeng, who is young and has no oil bottle, will need at least three cows as a gift."
"Since you are greedy for the bride price, why don't you quickly find someone to marry? If you catch it, you can give birth to a grandson."
"How long can three cows last?" Lao Yang said, "She has a long-term plan in mind."
"What's your long-term plan? Are you planning to find a husband and support your family?"
Lao Yang slapped his thigh: "Chief, you are really good at predicting things! Mrs. Cao wants to recruit a distant nephew from her mother's family - the wealth will not go to outsiders."
Yun Suji smiled and said: "Since I wanted to recruit him, why didn't he succeed?"
"I am serving as a soldier in Jeju Island. Who knows when I will come back?" Lao Yang said, "Liu Yuanhu is attracted to Gaifeng at this time..."
"Slow, slow, didn't you say Liu Yuanhu didn't rob the widow?"
"It's true that he didn't rob him. It was Gaifeng who was willing to go with him." Old Yang's wife interjected, "Liu Yuanhu has no in-laws at home, and he is a cadre and a strong young man. Would Gaifeng be willing?"
Lao Yang's wife relished some gossip: how the two people met each other's eyes, how they met secretly, how they kissed in the woods, "that's called a dry fire"... It seemed that she had witnessed it all.
, Yun Suji thought: Women’s gossip ability is indeed extraordinary.
"...A month ago, Gai Feng Hua La Hua La went to Liu Yuanhu's house when Mrs. Cao wasn't paying attention. When Mrs. Cao came to her senses, they both ran to town to collect it."
When the marriage certificate is back, I have finally passed the clear path."
Liu Yuanhu's policy level is not bad, Yun Suji thought, rural areas have always been very indifferent to the matter of obtaining a marriage certificate. In the 21st century, there are also a large number of couples who only drink wine without obtaining a certificate. Liu Yuanhu directly received the marriage certificate, which is a real deal.
The legal relationship was confirmed. After all, the village cadre was not in vain.
He said: "Mrs. Cao must be unhappy."
"It's natural. If it were someone else, this matter would definitely not work! Old Mrs. Cao is a fickle boss! But Liu Yuanhu is a bachelor, has no relatives, no family, a dull head, and is used to being a cadre in the village and being domineering.
Not to mention an orphan, I think he would dare to beat up his own parents! What good can Old Mrs. Cao do if she goes to make trouble? After several losses, she no longer dared to go to Liu Yuanhu. She went to Fan Twelve to file a complaint -
―Chief, what do you think? Liu Yuanhu and Fan Twelve really want to wear a pair of trousers, can they help her? Besides, in order to change Feng Feng's foothold, Fan Twelve and Mrs. Cao fought against famine a lot. So the daughter-in-law didn't want to come back.
He said that he even wore small shoes - and was taken to the Qiannvdi construction site for several months. Old Mrs. Cao couldn't swallow her breath, so she went directly to the countryside to file a complaint..."
"Oh? Are you going to the countryside to complain?" Yun Suji thought that there were petitioners in this time and space.
"I went there several times, and the villagers said that since her wife's husband was dead, she could marry whomever she wanted, and the villagers had nothing to do with it." Compared to Lao Yang, his wife had much better information. "The villagers couldn't complain, so she went to the village again.
She complained to the county, but the county ignored her - now she was so angry that she went crazy. She spent the whole day in the village saying that the village had swallowed up her pension, robbed her of her daughter-in-law, and had done many things to Fan Twelve.
Take it to the streets and say it everywhere..."
Lao Yang felt it was not appropriate and winked at his wife. Yun Suji saw it and Yun Suji smiled and said, "Why, are you still worried?"
Lao Yang was a little embarrassed: "To be honest, Fan Twelve and the others sometimes do things unethically and act stupidly! But we are all fellow villagers, and he has done a lot of things for us. There are some things that he didn't think were useful when he did them.
Everyone scolded him, but only later did he realize that it really worked because we were not far-sighted. If he was sent to the labor camp, I would feel sorry for him..."
Yun Suji said: "So Fan Twelve still made great contributions to the village?"
Lao Yang nodded: "You have to say that he has no selfish thoughts and only cares for everyone. He is not a saint. Selfish thoughts are rewarded. It is inevitable to eat more and take more. It is common to show power, tie up and beat people. But our village would not have such a person.
The people are not good either. Let’s just talk about the roads in and outside the village, the water diversion canals, and the manure digesters... If he didn’t worry about it, it would never be possible. The surrounding villages are envious of our village for having a capable person as the village chief.
."
Yun Suji asked again: "What about Mrs. Cao saying that the village swallowed up her pension?"
"Only she knows this, and Fan Twelve probably knows it too." Lao Yang said, "Liu Yuanhu indeed received the pension from the village and handed it over to the village office. As for whether Mrs. Cao got it or not, she got it.
How much, even if the father-in-law says the father-in-law is right, the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law is right. We can’t figure it out."
"Has Gaifeng ever received a pension?"
"Can she get a penny?" Lao Yang said with a smile, "Gai Feng was just a slave in her husband's family - not even a slave. The slave master also paid monthly money and rice. It's good if she can eat a few full meals.
Got it!"
Lao Yang's wife also said: "My complexion has improved a lot since I married Liu Yuanhu! I also have a smile on my face when working with everyone."
Yun Suji has roughly understood the whole story. This is completely different from what he originally thought. It seems that partiality cannot be ignored, and "suffering is great and hatred is deep" may not necessarily be the embodiment of justice. People like Fan Twelve and Liu Yuanhu
Although she cannot be said to be "incorruptible", Mrs. Cao is not "innocent" and has been "suffering persecution". The truth of the matter is always more complicated than it appears.
He felt that he had gained a lot from Lao Yang's house, so he continued to talk. Seeing that he was very interested in talking, Lao Yang added another wick to the oil lamp, and he didn't realize that the night was getting dark.
Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a guard ran in sweating profusely. When he saw Yun Suji, he had no time to salute, and gasped: "Report... report... Chief: Cao...
Cao..."
Yun Suji was startled and asked quickly: "Old Mrs. Cao?"
The guard nodded repeatedly: "Go... go... hang yourself!"
Yun Suji stood up with a roar and said: "Let's go and take a look!"
Yun Suji rushed to the door of the village office and saw a circle of people gathered around the door. The noisy people stretched their necks to watch the excitement. Liu Yuanhu and several young people were maintaining order. Fan Twelve's face was pale, and he stood at the door looking confused.
When he saw Yun Suji coming over, he said in an almost pleading tone: "Chief! Chief! You really have to stop doing my business..."
"Why are you panicking if I don't do your business!" Yun Suji said, "Let's go in and take a look first!" (To be continued.)
