Di Ying replied: "Yes, I can barely get by. I am from Jihua Village. I went to Piaoshan Village to visit my eldest sister at home. Now I am preparing to go home. When I left, I left my water bag behind. I'm thirsty."
The aunt understood this as soon as she heard this.
He patted his thigh and said, "Hey, it's quite a long journey from Jihua Village to Piaoshan Village. Fortunately, you are friendly to your sisters at home. You must have refused your sister's gift in return and ran away, right? Then you left the water bag behind. Right? You’re such a nice guy, big brother. Don’t worry, you can find water to drink wherever you go, no matter who you go to.”
"Yes, there are many kind-hearted people." Di Ying nodded and continued, her voice a little soft, her head drooping a little, and the smile on her face became a little forced.
Seeing this, the aunt rolled her eyes, sat across the table and asked: "First I heard the noise in the courtyard next door. Did you ask about his house first?"
Seeing the other party nodding, the aunt looked like she suddenly understood. Then she put her hands on the table, leaned her head over and lowered her chin and said: "That family is not a good person. What kind of luck do you have, how did you knock on his house? ?”
Di Ying raised her head, with a look of doubt and inquiry on her face.
The aunt retracted her chin, but her voice was still lowered, and she kindly explained: "His family name is Yu. He is a very big family. But the youngest son, the sweetheart, is not very good.
He usually plays tricks on cats and dogs, and always beats his own wife to death. Later, the little wife died. Someone scratched his neck and died in the house.
We all said, it was his younger son who did it himself. Otherwise, who would love to go to their home? We don't like to have anything to do with his family. It's just that my family can't move, so there's nothing we can do.
Alas, this person died, he died violently, and he was still so young. Who is not afraid of this?
I often hear a woman crying in the middle of the night, it's so scary, so scary. I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to leave the house when I needed to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the fact that there were many men in my family, I would definitely have to move anyway. "
As the auntie spoke, she trembled a few times, with a look of horror on her face.
Seeing this, Di Ying also became frightened. She also hunched her shoulders and lowered her voice and asked: "Then his family is not afraid? I heard that people who die like that are very vicious."
"What are you afraid of?"
When the aunt mentioned this, she looked disdainful.
"They should eat and sleep. My little wife's body was buried by the government. They didn't spend a penny. They thought it was bad luck that someone died in the house and they even cursed. .
The daughter-in-law's parents came to ask for the dowry money, but they refused to pay it back. It is said that it is not clear how the person died, so how can he repay the dowry money? What if she had an affair with someone and then was killed?
The kind of person who has no shame in asking for dowry money. Oops, in short, it’s so ugly to say that all the dirty water and sewage were poured on the dead person.
After all, everyone is dead, so why don’t we let them do it? Besides, when my little wife died, she was indeed the only one in her house. Her father-in-law went to the fields. Where is my mother-in-law? He slept like a dead dog in the main room.
The children at home, like the children in other families, did not like to take a midday break, so they all ran to the village to hang out together.
All the men have gone to the ground. Isn’t the young wife the only one left in the house? She still got up, and she was probably killed while she was cleaning up in the house.
After she died, I heard about it and went to take a look. Oops, that scary thing, let me tell you, the blood was sprayed everywhere. The little wife's eyes were so wide.
She was also holding an old piece of cloth in her hand, with embroidery on it. It seemed that she wanted to mend her dress. She didn't wear any good clothes. The young daughter-in-law loves to look beautiful, so she has to embroider flowers, grass, etc. whenever she wants to get a patch.
I didn't expect to die like this. I hope she will find a good family in her next life, stop being a girl, and don't marry into such a bad family again.
However, there happened to be that person who didn't have a good idea, who coveted the 50-tael betrothal gift given by his family and married off a tender little girl to fill the house.
But that guy still didn't have a heart, he didn't change his bad habits, and he still bullied the little girl. He was either beaten or scolded.
But later, in the second year after the new wife came into the family, things got much better. I heard that our governor is not allowed to beat his wife all the time.
But, you said, this kind of thing happens in every family. Even my family and I always fight with my husband. How can this couple live their lives without quarrels and quarrels? Just don't be as shady as that guy. That's what the governor does. "
When Di Ying heard this, her eyes widened with an expression of incredible surprise: "Isn't that light? I saw that on the wrists and neck, they were either pinched or pinched out, tsk tsk... "
This look made the aunt laugh.
She patted her thigh lightly and said: "Isn't that too gentle? Can the government control the heaven and earth and control each family's home? A warning is a warning, and a little restraint is good. There are many people who don't have one yet. It’s restrained.”
After chatting here, seeing that the delay was a bit long, the aunt got up with regret and said she was going to the fields to deliver water, so she sent the water beggar out of the house.
Di Ying didn't insist on it, because he heard the sound of the old man getting up in the hall. He said thank you and left.
Before leaving, he quietly pressed a few copper plates under the water bowl.
Don't suppress the money. If you suppress the money, it will bring trouble to the aunt and the family.
After Di Ying came out, she stood outside the wall of a courtyard behind the corner and stared secretly.
After more than ten breaths, I saw the aunt carrying a bucket and a water bowl, leaving the house and walking towards the village.
Obviously the aunt is not lying, there are indeed a lot of men in her family.
When the other party could no longer be seen, Di Ying turned around again and found the village head.
Si Yanhui's eldest daughter, Yu Hui, who is now seventeen years old, has married an old man in the village who is about fifty years old.
It has been three years since I got married. He has no children and takes care of the three children and grandchildren left by the old man's ex-wife.
Di Ying specially selected the village that he entered during the period of Wei Shi, which was the time when Si Yanhui died.
This helps to observe the situation in the village at that time. After all, a village, as long as nothing big happens, will remain pretty much the same for decades or decades.
At the same time, it also helps people remember what they were doing back then.
