While eating, my aunt took the initiative to introduce the little boy in her arms.
"Sister, Yang Ming and I got this from my relatives two years ago. We named it Yang Qin. The diligent one is far away from each other. I never had time to tell you. Don't be angry! "
Su's mother knew that it was her sister-in-law Wu Juan who suggested bringing Lao Wu over.
After she refused, Wu Juan felt angry, and she probably hasn't gotten over it yet.
She felt at that time that the Su family was so poor, and having so many sons was a burden. They were so close, and she would not treat the fifth child badly if he gave her the fifth child, and also helped her reduce the pressure. Why didn't she Do you want to?
However, how could a mother be willing to give away her child?
Su's mother doesn't care about her so much. It's been two years and there's been no news. Although she brought her, Yang Ming is her only relative and doesn't even say hello. Do you think she's not angry?
But now that we are sitting face to face, why do we still care about so much? Let’s just be harmonious.
"I don't blame you, sister. Just stay here for a few days when you come here. It's lively and lively. If you have any difficulties at home, just tell me. Now my life is getting better here, I will definitely help you if I can."
Su's mother still wanted to help her mother's family. She only had a younger brother. Not to mention how helpful he was, he could still help even if it wasn't excessive.
After hearing what she said, Wu Juan and her husband looked at each other and decided to talk about it now:
"Sister, we really need your help, this matter is a bit tricky!"
When they heard something was going on, Mother Su and Father Su looked at each other, and the Su family siblings also listened carefully with their ears pricked up.
"Juanzi, tell me what's going on."
Wu Juan looked at her daughter, a little embarrassed to say anything, but she still said:
"It's like this. Isn't Qingqing old enough to look for her husband's family? She went to the county to sell vegetables some time ago, but she was attracted by the county magistrate's son and insisted on making her his concubine. She is such a good girl, how can she Being a concubine?
We have been sending people over there to tell her, but now we are losing patience. We don’t want her to be a concubine, so we just want her to stay with your sister to avoid the limelight for the time being. Originally, if my brother-in-law didn’t come, we would have to give the child away. I came to you for help. The two sides are far apart. I thought that the county magistrate can't be so far away and still reach out. In order to take refuge, I also want to ask my sister to find a good in-law for her in Qinghe County and take care of things. Set it down, the sooner the better.
In short, she cannot go back to Qingyuan County for the time being. She is an official, and there is nothing we can do about it. Qingyuan is no better than Qinghe. You have met a good official, but we are in trouble over there! "
In each place, the parents and officials are different, and the people's lives are also different. In Qingyuan County, robbing women is a common thing.
Speaking of this, Yang Qingqing's tears kept falling, she felt extremely wronged.
"The county magistrate is so overbearing, why don't you go to the state capital to file a complaint with the magistrate? Robbing a girl is a serious crime, and I will be thrown into disgrace." Su Wan was angry when he heard this. Why is there such a thing happening over there?
"Wan Wan, you don't know that the magistrate of Qingyuan County has a backer. I heard that the magistrate's wife's sister is the wife of a high-ranking official in Xiangzhou Prefecture. With this relationship, he can wear his black gauze hat securely. You don’t know that this county magistrate’s son already has seven concubines. One of them is already married, but he still snatched her away by his means. There are several others who are similar to our Qingqing and are also girls from good families.
He didn't try to rob him, but secretly found someone to suppress him, which made you restless. During last year's autumn harvest, a family refused to give him their daughter, so he called out the local bullies all night long and destroyed all the food in their fields. There was no food left. , how should we spend this day? He just wants to force you to take the initiative to send the girl to him before he is willing to let you go. Such a treacherous villain is powerful and we cannot fight against him. "
"Yes, I heard that the county magistrate is very cruel. If the concubines at home don't go with his wishes, they will be beaten with bruises and swollen faces. If Qing Qing becomes his concubine, it will be a tough life. .”
Yang Ming also had a sad look on his face and really didn't know what to do.
A good daughter cannot be thrown away for waste. She would rather marry a poor family so that she can at least live a solid life.
"Then have they done anything to my uncle? Is he not injured or suffering any loss?"
When Su Wan heard that the county magistrate was behaving like this, he was first worried about the safety of his uncle's family.
"Qingqing has just been attracted by him not long ago. He hasn't done anything to my family yet. I'm just afraid. It's spring sowing time now. If he also finds someone to destroy my farmland, what will our family be doing to live on?"
Rural people live on just a few acres of land. Aren't they cutting off people's livelihood?
"It's really lawless. Why do people like them become officials?" Su Yun slammed the table in anger.
"He has a backer, didn't you hear?" Su Mu glanced at him lightly.
"Yes, Fourth Brother, it is said that they are all protected by officials, and there is a saying that if the people do not fight with officials, it is not that they dare not, but that they cannot fight!"
Su Chen often heard his master say this, so he could see it more clearly.
"Brothers and sisters, don't be anxious. Qingqing will stay with us temporarily to avoid the limelight. Qingyuan and Qinghe are so far apart, how can their hands stretch so long?
It's just that you said that you want to find a good family for Qingqing. This matter can't be rushed. It will take a lifetime. You have to take good care of your character first. Why don't you and your family live in our house for now? After a while, you can say Maybe the county magistrate will forget about this matter. "
Mother Su must definitely help with this task. For now, this is the only way to avoid the limelight.
"Mom, it's not as simple as you think. What you don't get is always turbulent. Human nature is like this. The more you don't get him, the more you miss him. And as far as I know, when two families get married, they have to show their birth date. After going to the local government to go through the paperwork, the marriage between the two families can be officially concluded. Sister Qingqing's household registration is in Qingyuan County. Even if she wants to marry in Qinghe, she also has to go to the Qingyuan government office to go through the paperwork. He is thinking about Qingqing. Sister Qing, how can you hide all these troubles from them? So this matter cannot be solved by just finding someone to marry.
He has a backer, but complaining to the higher authorities has failed. Now the only way to avoid the limelight is to avoid the limelight. However, no matter how ridiculous the Qingyuan County Magistrate is, he cannot condone his son. He is the backer if he robs a daughter of the people in such a big way and causes public indignation. No matter how strong he is, if there is any stigma that cannot be wiped off, then he will have no hope of promotion in his life. I believe he will not be that stupid. But if his uncle and aunt go back and they don't see Sister Qingqing, they will definitely cause trouble again. The gains outweigh the losses, so they might as well Just listen to my mother, you all can stay at our house for the time being. "
