Chapter 999: coincide
Chen Wanwan's family held a wedding, and I heard that people from two villages were invited to watch the ceremony, and there was a big battle.
Li Haitang didn't know the people in the back village well, so he didn't want to join in the fun. When she held weddings for the villagers, she still had the impression that not long after the news came, the scumbag in the Li family village got married, and the villagers looked sympathetic when they saw her.
"Little lady, to tell you the truth, if you want to buy some souvenirs, you can only go to Chen Wanwan's."
The Chen family originally planned to only invite people from the mountain village, but somehow, they made a plan and invited people from the bride's village next door, Cao's village, to have a drink. Warm reception.
The Chen family decided that they were too hasty to buy in time, so they had to buy from the villagers' homes. Almost all the pork, bacon, hens, eggs, and vegetables from the backyard in the village were sent to the Chen family.
"Husband, why don't we go and have a look?"
Li Haitang looked around, and found that the terrain of the mountain village was dangerous, and the carriage was too bumpy to go out of the village to the town, so it was better to buy nearby.
"Go, go, I'll pass right away, you follow me."
The old man didn't walk fast. He introduced the local conditions and customs of the mountain village while walking, and finally asked, "It seems that you are from the capital, why are you here?"
There is nothing good in the backcountry, and the old man is very puzzled.
The man was tall and tall, with a terrifying face, which made people shiver, but his wife was beautiful, and she was about to give birth soon after looking at her belly.
The village is closed, and there are no good things, and it is rare to meet outsiders.
For some reason, Li Haitang didn't want the villagers to know that they had a house in the mountains. She remembered that in the past, the Li family villagers called her husband a savage, and made up a lot of jokes about Xiao Lingchuan eating human flesh and drinking raw blood, scaring the little baby to cry every night .
What's more, their cabin is in the mountains, isolated from the world, and they don't want this environment to be destroyed.
"Old man, it is like this."
Li Haitang rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a good idea, "My husband and I have a child about to be born. To pray for the baby, we plan to open a charity hall in Kyoto."
Regarding the setting up of the Charity Hall, she explained one by one according to what she had discussed with Fang Shaoyao and others. She wanted to help those who really needed help and do something good.
"Girl, you have a good idea."
After hearing this, the old man nodded frequently, and then he was very emotional.
He had no children. In his early years, his elder brother had just married and had a daughter. He went hunting in the mountains and never came back. When the villagers entered the mountains, they only saw blood-stained clothes.
His elder brother died so badly that no bones were found.
The father and mother were very sad, one of them didn't recover, and both of them left with the eldest brother. The elder sister-in-law couldn't bear the poverty of the family, so she abandoned her daughter and eloped with the salesman who came to the village to sell, leaving only the little girl waiting to be fed.
The old man kept filial piety for his parents, and the marriage that was originally agreed upon was also ruined because of his family's ruin.
"I don't blame anyone. In that kind of situation, the family is completely empty, and the innocent girl has to raise children for others when she gets married. I can't ignore the niece and daughter left by my elder brother..."
The old man also held his breath. Fast forward more than ten years, his niece raised her up, got married and left home, and he was left alone.
He was busy with his livelihood when he was young, and when his niece got married, he realized that he was already past his prime, and it was even more difficult to get married and marry a wife.
He simply lived by himself, eating enough for one person, and the whole family was not hungry.
Hearing that Li Haitang wanted to open a charity hall, the old man was not moved. He thought that he could still plow the fields, enough to eat and wear, and when he was too sick, he would die of old age at home.
His coffin boards have been saved, and the villagers will send letters to his niece.
"You said a child without parents, where is there now!"
The old man shook his head, as long as there are clansmen, even if life is not good, they will always have a bite to eat, and the clansmen will take care of them.
Boys stand at the top of the house, and those who have no sons are eager to take them away and raise them, while girls, after they are brought up, can return a large amount of dowry money when they get married.
Unless there is a physical defect, no parents will abandon their flesh and blood.
"Look at my memory, there really is such a family in our village!"
After the old man finished speaking, he patted his head and remembered something.
"what?"
Li Haitang fell into deep thought, and felt that what the old man said made sense. Before she could react, the old man led her out of rhythm.
"Ugh!"
The old man sighed, pointed to a family not far away, and said, "It's a pity that you came late. If it had been a few days earlier, the youngest son of Xu Keba's family in the village happened to need someone to take him away."
Seeing that Li Haitang didn't understand, the old man started talking.
Xu Keba was working outside, leaving his wife and son behind in the village. His wife was quite pretty, but for some reason, she was taken in by the bums from other villages.
While Xu Keba was working outside, he sneaked up the wall in the middle of the night and entered his house, intending to **** his wife.
There was a lot of commotion, Xu Keba's daughter-in-law was a formidable character, she drove people away with a hatchet, and in the process of chasing and beating them, she chopped up the bum.
The second-rate son did not take advantage, but was injured instead, and held a grudge against Xu Keba's daughter-in-law.
"Oh, in this world, people's hearts are not ancient!"
The old man muttered that the old women in the village were secretly talking about Xu Keba's daughter-in-law, who was stripped of her body by the **** and took advantage of her, and lost her reputation long ago.
No, someone went to the city and talked to Xu Keba, and the rumors were passed around, and for some reason, they changed the story.
Xu Keba's daughter-in-law had an affair with a bum, and Xu Keba was not only cuckolded, but also wanted to be a father.
After Xu Keba heard this, he was furious and asked the second-rate son to settle the score. But the second-rate son had a grudge against his wife and didn't mean to refute at all.
The daughter-in-law lost her name, and the son was not his own. No one could bear it. Xu Keba believed it, went back to the village, and beat his wife.
His daughter-in-law was also stubborn, so she immediately accepted the letter of divorce, and then left the mountain village with her son.
"What about his wife and son? Have you returned to your mother's house?"
After Li Haitang heard this, he sighed again and again, the perpetrators were those big-mouthed women who had no malicious intentions, but they didn't know that they would cause such serious consequences.
People's words are terrifying, but rumors are fiercer than tigers.
"Where is there a natal family? His daughter-in-law's parents sold her to Xu's family back then. Otherwise, how could such a beautiful little lady marry a tyrannical bum?"
The old man shook his head. A few days ago, someone from the next village got up early to fetch water. By the river, they found the body of Xu Keba's wife. To prove her innocence, her daughter-in-law threw herself into the river.
"What about the son?"
No matter how cruel the mother is, will she just helplessly take her son to die? According to the old man's description, Xu Keba's son is two years old, with a sallow complexion and some deficiencies, similar to the baby Zhang Ruyi picked up. It's just, can't it be such a coincidence?
