As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, we could clearly hear my mother-in-law Zhang's voice cursing in a high pitched voice.
There was also the faint cry of a child, and the sister-in-law Liu Cuier seemed to be cursing, but not as sharply as her mother-in-law.
Su Ruyi couldn't help but quicken her pace, and her heart was tense. What happened again?
After walking a few steps, I met two villagers coming from their home carrying hoes.
"Su Ruyi, are you still wandering around here? Your pigs will be killed by drugs——"
The man drawled, somewhat gloating about his misfortune.
Su Ruyi hated people who took pleasure in other people's suffering. She looked at him coldly, which made the man's back feel cold and he quickly walked over.
The pig was drugged to death?
how so!
Su Ruyi bumped the rice bag on her shoulder vigorously, then ran towards her home.
As expected, the gate of the Lu Family Courtyard was crowded with villagers returning home from work in the evening. They had different expressions, some shook their heads with regret, and some grinned almost to the ears.
They chattered loudly: "Who is it? It's so wicked that the old Lu family can't even open the pot. Isn't this going to cost the lives of the whole family?"
"Isn't that right! If you don't tell me, you deserve it! Their Su Ruyi has offended everyone in our village, I think it's just her!"
"You can't, right? He is also a coward. If you want to poison Su Ruyi, just poison Su Ruyi directly. What other sins have been committed by others!"
"Eighty percent is the son of the old Lu family... Ruyi, you are back. Something big has happened to your family. Go and have a look!"
The woman who spoke embarrassedly cut off her words, forced out a smile and said to Su Ruyi, her heart pounding, didn't this crazy woman hear what she said?
Su Ruyi was not deaf, so she heard all the previous words, but was too lazy to pay attention to these spectators, and hurriedly walked into the Lu family courtyard through the given way.
I saw this scene in front of me.
Mrs. Zhang put her hands on her hips, raised her head and cursed loudly, her voice was almost hoarse.
"...You damn son of a bitch, you'll just shrink away for the rest of your life! You haven't used your son's life in this life, and you won't be born with a butthole! You just have to die, there will be no one to support you when you are old!"
Liu Cuier was beating her son. She held a tree stick and hit Dalang like crazy. While beating her, she shouted hoarsely: "You useless thing, you can't even stand a pig. Why did I give birth to you?" Why don’t you just die together!”
Liu Cuier started to cry while beating and scolding herself.
Dalang was obviously hurt by the beating, and his body subconsciously dodged, but his feet did not run away. He stood there and let his mother beat him, whimpering and crying muffledly.
Li Baozhu hugged her two children and hid away crying.
Lu Duotian, who had broken his ribs, also got off the bed and moved to the threshold. He held Dan'er in one hand and supported the door frame with the other. He murmured: "It's my fault, it's my fault..."
Zhuang'er stood beside his father and sobbed softly.
Those who didn’t know better would have thought someone was killed in the family...
Su Ruyi threw the bag on her shoulder into the yard, rushed to Liu Cuier in three steps, and pulled Dalang behind her.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Dalang is still a child!"
"Get out of the way! Let me beat him to death! After ten years of raising a pig in vain, we can't even keep a pig! How can our Lu family survive! Woo hoo hoo..."
After cursing, Liu Cuier wanted to hit her son with the stick in her hand, but Su Ruyi snatched it away and threw it to the ground.
"Why are you hitting him! Don't hit him!"
"How can the Lu family live? God..."
Liu Cuier sat down on the ground and cried loudly, her cries covering up Mrs. Zhang's curses.
Mrs. Zhang stopped scolding, probably because she was tired, so she sat down on the ground and continued to scold while crying.
Su Ruyi: "..."
She despises people who just sit on the floor and cry when something happens. Apart from letting others watch for fun or saying a few pitiful words, what's the use?
Can it solve the problem?
Dalang felt sorry for his mother, so he turned around from behind Su Ruyi and went to pull her mother away in tears.
"Mom, I was wrong, Mom, I was wrong..."
A group of people at the entrance of the courtyard were tut-tutting, didn't they just look like they were watching a show?
Su Ruyi picked up the hoe that fell on the ground and walked towards the group of people.
When these people saw Su Ruyi's red eyes and fierce expression, they were so frightened that they all backed away and said, "Su Ruyi, what do you want to do? We didn't kill your pigs with medicine!"
"If you didn't die from the medicine, what are you doing here? Get out of here!"
Su Ruyi raised the hoe, which scared them so much that they screamed "Ah" and backed away. They were really afraid that the crazy woman would hit them on the head with the hoe.
Someone shouted: "The village chief is here!"
Village Chief Hu appeared at the door of the courtyard, with a gray beard and a serious face, quite majestic.
He glared at Su Ruyi: "What are you doing? Put down the hoe quickly!"
Mrs. Zhang seemed to have seen her savior. She got up from the ground and rushed to the village chief, bursting with snot and tears.
"Village Chief, you have to bring justice to our family! Who knows who drugged our pig to death? How can our family survive?"
Just sell this pig for a few coins and save it until tomorrow when the rations are gone to save lives. This... really wants the Lu family to die!
"Okay, stop crying, you're making me upset! Tell me what's going on!"
Liu Cuier hurriedly got up, pulled her son forward, and pushed Dalang to the village chief: "Dalang, tell the village chief who drugged our pig to death!"
Dalang was trembling and for some reason looked back at Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi had put down the hoe at this moment. When she received Da Lang's eyes, she couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that that man had something to do with her?
"You said you are mute?!"
Seeing that her son remained silent, Liu Cuier became very angry and slapped her son on the shoulder so hard that she almost knocked the child to the ground.
Su Ruyi was shocked to see her, how could Dalang with such a small body be able to take such a photo?
He hurriedly stepped forward to protect her and pushed her sister-in-law away: "Sister-in-law, you can't hit your child anymore!"
He turned around and patted Dalang gently: "Don't be afraid, Dalang. Have you seen anyone coming to our house?"
Dalang pursed his lips, as if hesitating.
Liu Cuier was so anxious that she got angry. Mrs. Zhang also got angry when she saw it. She stamped her feet and patted her thighs and said:
"Da Lang, speak! Hurry up and speak!"
What Zhang was thinking at this time was that no matter who it was, just name it personally!
Dalang gritted his teeth and buried his head, his voice too low to be heard.
"I...I just saw the back, I don't know..."
"How could you not know who you saw? Tell me, what are you afraid of?"
Liu Cuier was so anxious that she wanted to rush over, but Su Ruyi moved her steps to block her.
"I probably know who it is," Su Ruyi said, "It's Liu Mazi. I beat him yesterday. Most likely he was dissatisfied and secretly came to kill my pig today!"
Dalang raised his head and looked at her blankly, but he didn't expect the third aunt to say it herself.
