Chapter 15
Not all the land owned by the landlords is leased out, but part of it is reserved for long-term workers. Only during busy farming periods, when the land is too busy, short-term workers are hired in order to harvest the crops.
Today, the two brothers from the Mei family went to work at the Yang family in the village, earning thirty cents a day.
The daughter-in-law of the Xu family, who had gone to the Mei family to make trouble, did not go home obediently after being kicked out. When she arrived at the center of the village, whenever she met someone, she would stop and talk about Gu Nanfeng.
When she was spitting dirty words, she was overheard by Mei Qingshan, who was carrying Baogu back from the fields.
Mei Qingshan didn't even say a word at that time. After he silently stepped forward, he kicked the man in the butt, knocking him to the ground.
The daughter-in-law of the Xu family, whose maiden name was Wang, was named Wang Ruxiu. Wang Ruxiu was kicked to the ground, so naturally she refused! When he turned around and realized it was Mei Qingshan, his face became even more angry.
Who doesn't know that Mei Lao'er's family is so poor that they are almost begging for food, but this poor beggar dares to beat him!
Wang Ruxiu got up and rushed towards Mei Qingshan, and they started fighting.
Mei Qingshan was carrying a large basket of Baogu on his back, and Wang Ruxiu was a peasant woman who was used to farm work, so she naturally had some strength. After Mei Qingshan was kicked in the leg by the woman, she was a little unsteady on her feet. Then I simply unloaded everything on my back.
With no weight on his back, Mei Qingshan, a young man, quickly restrained Wang Ruxiu. He grabbed the person's chest and slapped him so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.
After Wang Ruxiu was slapped, her whole face was numb, but what was even more numb than her face was her brain. She couldn't believe how dare Mei Qingshan not only hit her, but also slap her in the mouth. son.
Not only Wang Ruxiu, but also the villagers on the side were dumbfounded. They hurriedly started to pull people away. No one expected that a fight would start in just a short while, and the beating would be so severe.
It's common for people in the village to quarrel over trivial matters, but it's rare for them to fight, and it's even rarer for them to fight so hard.
When Father Mei arrived, Wang Ruxiu was covering her face and crying, and some people were surrounding her. Just when he was about to ask what was going on, the Xu family arrived.
As soon as the Xu family arrived, Xu Da saw his mother-in-law being beaten and immediately rushed towards Mei's father, while the Xu family's brothers and the younger generation also started to take action.
When Gu Nanfeng and Mei Aniang arrived, Mei's father was being beaten and suppressed. Mei Qingshan was dealing with several men from the Mei family by himself. The two of them didn't know which side to look at for a moment, but Mei's father was not in good health. It was bad, Gu Nanfeng knew it, so he didn't care about anything and hurried to Dad Mei's place.
He knew that he was weak and his fist might not hurt a big man, so after he pounced on him, he hit, scratched, and bit him. In short, he did whatever it took to make people hurt.
There were many Xu family members, but after the fight between the two sides, the Mei family members quickly arrived.
The surname Mei is a common surname in the village. Not to mention the uncles of the Mei family, the Mei family has many uncles and brothers in the village. They are all from the same clan and are a real family.
After the uncles and cousins of the family arrived, the Xu family could no longer gain the upper hand. When the Mei family arrived, the Xu family became even more invincible. They stopped fighting if they couldn't fight, and began to make a fuss to find the village chief for comment, asking Mei's family to apologize to them and pay for the soup and medicine.
The Xu family was clamoring to find the village chief, and the Mei family was naturally not afraid. At this moment, Gu Nanfeng had already guessed how his second brother and the woman got into a fight, and he was thinking of going to the village chief. Once things are made clear, no one will point fingers at the Mei family from now on.
Mei Qingshan was still helping others today, but how could he have the time to do the work at the moment? He asked his cousin to take over his work, and asked his eldest cousin to tell his brother not to worry when he went to the fields. Go home after you're done.
After everything was handed over, Mei Qingshan, the Mei family, the Xu family, and a large group of people watching went to the village chief's house.
After everyone arrived at the gate of the village chief's house, before the people on both sides could explain clearly what happened today, someone started to whisper.
Most people felt that, regardless of the cause of this matter, just looking at Wang Ruxiu's red and swollen face after being beaten, it was Mei Qingshan's fault. In any case, he, a young man, should not have attacked a woman.
The courtyard of the village chief's house was paved with stone bricks. It had not rained in the past few days, and there was no mud on the ground. After someone entered the courtyard, they sat directly on the ground. Slowly, a whole yard of people sat on the ground.
After the village chief listened to the Xu family's cry, many people came to help the Xu family, including a family surnamed Mei.
Xu Da pointed at Mei Qingshan, who was supporting his father, with an angry look on his face, and his saliva came out as he spoke!
"Anyway, the boy from the Mei family beat my mother-in-law for no reason, and the Mei family took advantage of the large number of people to bully our Xu family at the back! If the village chief doesn't give us an explanation for this matter, the Xu family, we have to stop doing it. This Mei family There's going to be a rebellion in Meijia Village! Who do you want to beat?"
Not all people in the village are unreasonable, but when things really happen, regardless of the reason, they will naturally help their own family. Uncle Mei held back his breath, and after arriving at Mei Qingshan's side, he asked in a low voice what was going on?
"If you really have no reason..."
"She was the one who spouted shit first. I wasn't the only one who heard about her reputation for falsely accusing people. Sister-in-law Liao also knew about it." Mei Qingshan pointed out another person who came out. The villagers didn't see him, so they hurriedly asked someone to call him. He also asked Mei Qingshan to explain clearly what Wang Ruxiu said to make him attack people.
"He said that my Nanfeng cheating man was divorced by her husband's family and abandoned by her mother's family, so she came to Meijia Village. She said that the village chief didn't know whether he had no brains or was an old fool. He dared to accept anyone." The previous words. Mei Qingshan was a little hesitant when he said it, but he firmly believed that Gu Nanfeng was not that kind of person, so he said it openly. It was also a good opportunity to explain to the whole village.
As for the rest of the story, it wasn't him who was spreading rumors. Wang Ruxiu really did say that about the village chief.
In the village, the village chief can still decide a lot of things, and the village chief's son is very promising. He works in the county government, and ordinary people can't afford to offend him.
Mei Qingshan's words did not make the Xu family feel guilty at all. Instead, they all looked at Gu Nanfeng with disdain, as if Gu Nanfeng had done something shameless. But they didn't dare to recognize the following words, and directly pointed at Mei Qingshan and scolded him, saying that he was just talking nonsense.
"Isn't your mother-in-law just talking nonsense?" Gu Nanfeng now had a clue, and knew that what he had just guessed was right. His second brother hit someone because that woman was talking nonsense.
Looking at Aunt Mei, who still had some blood on the corner of his mouth, and Aunt Mei, who was all messy, Gu Nanfeng felt very guilty. If he had told the Mei family clearly about his affairs earlier, they would have the confidence to go. If you refute others, nothing will happen today.
"Where did she come from when she said that I divorced my husband because I stole a man? Isn't this just empty talk?" Gu Nanfeng didn't look excited, but his eyes were looking straight at Wang Ruxiu, and he could only see Wang Ruxiu began to feel guilty.
Although Wang Ruxiu felt guilty, she would not lower her head at this time. Instead, she held her neck and raised her head, and said arrogantly: "Don't think that everyone doesn't know that you are holding the letter from Tonghu's family and Li Shu. A divorce letter from your mother's family came to the village. Your husband's family doesn't want anything that your mother's family dislikes. What else could it be other than doing something shameless?"
"My ex-husband's family is the Liu family in Baisha Town. They have a Liu Ji breakfast shop and a tofu shop. Some people in the village may also know about it." Not wanting to say another word to anyone, Gu Nanfeng directly referred to the Liu family. Tell the people clearly about the Gu family's situation.
He originally didn't want to mention the past, whether it was the Liu family or the Gu family. He just wanted to live quietly, but now, there are some things that he has to say.
"My natal family is from Gujia Village below Baisha Town. There is a third brother in my family who is married to my husband's family. After the third brother reconciled with my husband's family half a year ago, he hooked up with my ex-husband. The man named Liu wanted to marry my third brother. My mother actually agreed to this when my brother came over, and what’s even more ridiculous is that all three of them wanted me to grow up in the Liu family.”
Naturally, Gu Nanfeng would not take the initiative to mention such an embarrassing thing to anyone. Now that he spoke, there was a look of confusion on his face. He could not even hear what he was saying, so he could only keep talking and whispering. He was talking about the reason why he came to Meijia Village.
"I am the husband of the Liu family who is being married by Mingming. If the Liu family wants to marry my third brother, they must divorce me first. In order to give me no way out, my mother broke off our relationship with me so that I could only rely on the Liu family." Well, he finally said that he didn't even retain this last trace of affection, and they would really be strangers from now on.
"I, Gu Nanfeng, swear on my reputation and my life that if what I just said is even half a word false, I will not be able to die well and I will not be able to live in peace after death." Gu Nanfeng didn't even know when he had tears all over his face. He didn't even know he was crying. He didn't know he was crying until Mei Aniang held him in tears and went to wipe his tears.
Gu Nanfeng thought he didn't care anymore, but it turned out that he was still feeling aggrieved.
Gu Nanfeng wiped his face randomly, shook his head at Mei Aniang who was holding him, and signaled people not to worry, and then continued to say to everyone: "Baisha Town is not that far away, our village Maybe there are girls who have married there, or have married daughters-in-law there. Paper can't contain the fire, and nothing in this world can be hidden from others. What I say is true or false. Anyone who wants to know can ask for it. okay."
After Gu Nanfeng finished speaking, several people whispered and seemed to mention the Liu family while talking. It was a coincidence that those families were families with children in Baisha Town.
Putting aside the truth, Gu Nanfeng's words aroused more than just the dissatisfaction and sympathy of the Mei family. Many women present had their eyes red.
They are all married or have a daughter and a brother. If something like that happens to you or your girl and brother... ugh! Just thinking about that kind of thing makes people lose their temper and makes them want to die!
"How can there be such a black-hearted mother-in-law in this world!"
"That's right! You're so biased! How could you do this to your own child?"
After Gu Nanfeng explained, those who had previously thought that it was wrong for the Mei family to hit people all looked at Wang Ruxiu with strange expressions, feeling that what she said was really too much! You dare to talk nonsense when you don’t know anything. To accuse a little brother like this is because you are alone and easy to bully, so you are talking nonsense.
The Xu family had previously accepted their mother-in-law's speculation that Gu Nanfeng had done something shameless before arriving in their village. Now that everyone's tone had changed, they stopped arguing about Gu Nanfeng and only said that Mei Qingshan had beaten someone. thing.
"No matter what, it's a fact that my mother-in-law was beaten by the Mei family's second son, and they have to pay compensation!"
"Why did she beat her for her foul mouth? If she dares to talk nonsense next time, just tear her mouth off!" After Uncle Mei's uncle knew that he was right, he was not afraid of anything and directly pulled his nephew behind him. He faced the Xu family directly, and then pointed at his brother and sister-in-law and said, "Let's call a doctor immediately when we get home. If my brother is in trouble, your Xu family won't just have to pay for it. We, the Mei family, are not done with you!"
After Uncle Mei finished speaking, he glanced at the eldest son next to him, and then the eldest cousin ran out, presumably to ask for a doctor.
Everyone knew that Dad Mei was in poor health. Now that there was blood on the corner of his mouth, the villagers stopped whispering and directly began to blame the Xu family. They felt that they were too cruel for a person who has been sick all year round. You can also take action. Do you want to kill someone? !
