The three people in the room were stunned. Seeing Li Qiu running out of the yard, Mrs. Liu suddenly slapped her thigh: "Hurry up and chase this little bitch back! Don't let her ruin the future of our third son!"
Zhang You had just been admitted as a scholar, and reputation was the most important thing. If the news of Zhang's father-in-law crawling on his daughter-in-law's bed reached Xuezheng's ears, Zhang You would no longer be a scholar.
The couple chased them out and saw that many people were already crowded outside the gate.
Aunt Sun, who had always been at odds with Mrs. Liu, was pretending to comfort Li Qiu, but in fact she was getting rid of Li Qiu's words.
Li Qiu was benevolent and talked about his experience with sobs.
"Yesterday, my mother had promised to sell me to Brother Chang'an as long as he paid ten taels of silver. Who knew that today she called the old madam from the brothel... My father-in-law just wanted to take off my clothes and said... said You want to see if I am a yellow flower girl..."
"My mother!" Aunt Sun's eyes widened and she shouted loudly, "I didn't see it, Zhang Laowen, you still have this idea! The scholar father climbed on his daughter-in-law's bed and spread the word, your scholar father They all have to find a rope to hang themselves to!"
Uncle Six who came after hearing the news raised his cane and hit Zhang Laowen several times: "Zhang Laowen! You have completely disgraced our Yunxia Village!"
Zhang Laowen and his wife wanted to explain, but the sixth uncle refused to give them a chance to speak: "Is this what you did is called human affairs? For the sake of making money, you ignored the future of Sanwazi. Are there any parents like you in this world? ?”
"Uncle Six, don't listen to Li Qiu's nonsense. How can I, an honest man, do such a thing?"
While Uncle Six was taking a breather, Zhang Laowen quickly defended himself.
"This is all a misunderstanding. It was all done by Erga Niang. I have tried to persuade her several times, but Erga Niang is determined to sell Li Qiu to Hongxiu Recruitment. I really have no choice..."
"You have no choice but to climb on your daughter-in-law's bed!" Aunt Sun sneered twice, "Why, in order to prevent your daughter-in-law from becoming a slave girl, do you, a father-in-law, want to take your daughter-in-law as a concubine? "
"Bullshit on your mother! Sun, don't act so careless here!" Mrs. Liu put her hands on her hips and angrily shouted at Aunt Sun, "That little bitch is so shameless. I don't know when she will get along with Gu Laizi." Now, after being exposed by my mother, you just want to hook up with my old wizened family! Such a shameless bitch should sink into the pond!"
Zhang Laowen tugged at Mrs. Liu and sighed to prevent Mrs. Liu from continuing: "Hey, old woman, why do you need to make your family's scandal public? I know you feel sorry for Li Qiu and don't want Li Qiu to suffer with Gu Laizi. You want her to join the Red Sleeves Let's go and enjoy the good food and drink, but Liqiu is not happy about it. Why don't you bother asking people to scold you?"
Liqiu almost burst into laughter.
Is it a blessing to enter the red sleeve trick? Give this blessing to others, she can't afford it.
Zhang Laowen said pitifully, and the sixth uncle looked at Li Qiu with some suspicion: "Li Qiu, you are always a sensible kid. You can't do anything to slander someone's reputation by just talking about it, especially since your parents-in-law have raised you with good food and drink for several years. , You must not be without conscience, you are not willing to go to the Red Sleeve Recruitment, and I am forcing your mother-in-law to relent and marry you to Gu Changan, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Li Qiu's heart suddenly went cold.
I originally thought that Uncle Six was a fair man, but he didn't expect that he had the same face as the Zhang family. Everything he said was just for his own face.
But in this world, how can face be gained so easily?
"Li Qiu is very grateful to the sixth uncle for yesterday's arrangement, but my parents-in-law relied on the third brother to become a scholar, so they don't pay attention to the elders in the clan, and turn a deaf ear to the sixth uncle's words. Yesterday, I promised well. Today I dare to recruit the old madam to my house again. You know, he said that my third brother was spending money on studying and he wanted to sell me to support the family. I don’t know, I thought the Zhang family was a prostitute’s den, doing that shameful thing behind closed doors all day long. Flesh business!"
"Yuan Liqiu! Shut up!"
Uncle Six's beard was trembling, and his eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone.
"You are also the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. Aren't you afraid of tarnishing your reputation by talking about your family like this?"
"What am I afraid of!" Li Qiu sneered, "My parents-in-law want to sell me into the Red Sleeve Movement and become a slave girl who can be ridden by thousands of people. They are not afraid of losing face. What should I be afraid of?"
Zhang Laowen hurriedly interrupted her: "You kid, don't talk nonsense! When you entered the Red Sleeve Restaurant, you ate big fish and meat and wore silk and satin. Your mother did it to help you live a good life."
"Why don't your parents let Qiu Ju live in such a good life?" Li Qiu asked the villagers who were watching loudly, "Uncles and ladies, which of you wants your daughter-in-law to live such a good life? Uncle Liu, you Are you willing to let your granddaughter live such a good life?"
Everyone was silent, and Li Qiu simply risked his life: "Oh, I forgot, none of you have a scholar in your family. Naturally, your daughter is not qualified to live such a good life. It's not like our family has a third brother. Baby bump, his mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sister are all going to take advantage of it and go to a good place like Hongxiuzhao to eat, drink, and enjoy life!"
Seeing Yu Cuihua standing in the crowd, Li Qiu smiled and waved to her: "Sister-in-law, why are you standing there stupidly? Go and clean up quickly, and take Dani and Erni to live in Hongxiuzhao, the female dependents of the old Zhang family They all want to enter the Red Sleeve Recruitment and become kiln sisters to enjoy the blessings! Oh, by the way, Sixth Uncle, the third brother was admitted as a scholar. The Zhang family is so happy. Is it because they are fawning over the third brother and their female relatives can also go to the Hongxiu Recruitment and become kiln sisters? Already?"
The sixth uncle's mouth was so angry that he raised his cane and poked Zhang Laowen a few more times: "What a good thing you two have done! Why don't you rush out the old madam! Do you have to ruin the future of San Wazi?" !”
Zhang Laowen and his wife looked at each other, but neither of them moved.
Li Qiu frowned slightly.
These two people have always valued Zhang You's future more than anything else. Now that the sixth uncle is anxious, but the two of them refuse to drive away Ping Gu, there must be something fishy going on here.
She cleared her throat, smiled and added to the fire: "Sixth uncle, don't worry, I guess being a scholar has its own set of rules. How about we find someone to go to the town academy to inquire about it? Depending on whether you are admitted as a scholar, your female family members will have to become kiln sisters..."
"Yuan Liqiu!" Uncle Liu's eyes were sharp and he gave Li Qiu a hard look. "A woman who talks about the word Sister Yao all the time is so embarrassed! Go back to the house quickly! It's your business. The clan will discuss and come up with a result."
Li Qiu pulled her sleeves to cover her shoulders. She turned around and saw Ping Gu standing at the door of Zhang's house, followed by two big men. She couldn't help but flinch.
"I won't go back," she said with a look of disgust. "There is an old madam at home. Going home is like going back to a brothel. Whoever wants to go there can go there."
Uncle Six had no choice but to scold Zhang Laowen and his wife again and drove Aunt Ping away.
But Pinggu refused to leave.
"You old man is very interesting. You took my money and didn't give me my people. Instead, you want to drive me away? Do you think I, Aunt Ping, is easy to bully? I can tell you, either, give me double today Either way, give me the money!"
Li Qiu suddenly realized.
No wonder no matter how she added fuel to the fire, no matter how despised the villagers were, and how angry the sixth uncle was, Zhang Laowen and Mrs. Liu refused to let go.
It turned out that he took Ping Gu’s money.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your third son has already been admitted as a scholar, why are you still so short of money?" Aunt Sun smiled so hard that she almost grinned, "I remember that the family gave the third son a subsidy to study, pen, ink, paper and inkstones for four seasons. The clothes are all from the clan, Lao Wei, you still have two sons, Dalang and Erga, who are making money at home. How come you are so short of money that you have to spend the old madam’s money? I’m afraid the ancestors of the Zhang family will be killed by you two. So angry!"
Mrs. Sun's husband's family name is Gu. Apart from the Zhang family, the other big family in Yunxia Village is the Gu family.
Being ridiculed by the Gu clan members, the sixth uncle couldn't hold on to his face anymore. He kept scolding Zhang Laowen and asked Zhang Laowen to pay money to Aunt Ping.
"How much money have you taken from this old madam? Give her the money quickly! Tell her to get out! Zhang Laowei, Mrs. Liu, let me tell you again, our Zhang family will not sell our daughters-in-law to the brothels! What happens again? This time, I will drive your family out of Yunxia Village!"
Mrs. Liu was not convinced and rolled her eyes at Uncle Six: "Uncle Six, why are you so disagreeable? My third child is the first scholar in our Zhang family. Are you willing to drive our family out of Yunxia Village? Even if you are If you are willing to give it up, it depends on whether the tribe will agree!"
It would be a great event for the clan to produce a talented scholar. The clan members were still thinking of recording their own land in Zhang San's name, so how could they be willing to drive away Zhang Laowen's family.
The Zhang clan members who had just despised Zhang Laowen and the Liu clan now lowered their heads and remained silent.
Even the sixth uncle was a little short of breath.
Ms. Liu became more and more proud. She glared at Li Qiu fiercely, as if she wanted to swallow him up: "You little bitch, this is your destiny. Don't think that you can change your destiny just by making such a fuss. I tell you. , No way! Follow Aunt Ping obediently. I see that you have stayed in my house for so many years, and I will beg Aunt Ping to treat you well. But if you continue to bother me, I will call you Ping Gu will torture you to death!"
"Then I want to see if you have this ability!"
Li Qiu didn't want to endure it anymore and completely broke up with Zhang Laolian's family.
"Believe it or not, I will make it impossible for Zhang You, a talented scholar, to continue his career!"
