Little Chenggong ate some rice soup and went to sleep again. Li Yunlan asked Ms. Liu to take the children to dinner while she watched Chenggong.
She sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, her face still full of wrinkles.
So annoying!
There is nothing wrong with people being filial to their parents, but her behavior is wrong. How can she take the decision without saying a word?
Where was the money given to her before? How could she think she had enough money to buy it? How could she do such a thing?
When a large family lives together, she is motivated by collective interests.
Alas~ It’s too difficult...
Mrs. Chen had good reasons to hate the original owner, her mother-in-law, in her previous life, but she treated her well when she came here, so why is she still so resentful.
Who can be unlucky than himself?
"Third aunt...third aunt?"
Li Yunlan looked out the window and saw Qiu Defa shouting at the door of the yard.
When Li Yunlan went out, Mrs. Liu was already standing there. When she saw her mother-in-law coming, she said with a trembling voice: "Mom, the eldest brother said that Degui and Defu were beaten by the Chen family in the small mountain village."
"Yes... Third Aunt, I heard people from the small mountain village talking about it at the neighborhood market, so I rushed back."
"I understand, do you know Chen's natal village?"
He nodded, and Li Yunlan said: "Then please take me there. Chunhua, you can lock the door at home and take care of the children. No one will open the door unless we come back." "
Chunhua was the Liu family's name. Li Yunlan rarely called her by her name when she married into an enemy's family. Usually, it was the eldest daughter-in-law's, the boss's family.
Liu nodded with tears in her eyes.
Qiu Defa then said to go back and talk to his family. Li Yunlan went back to the house and took two slings of money with him.
When they arrived at the door, Qiu Defa was followed by several young men.
"Sorry, let's go."
After walking for a while, the village chief and Boss Qiu came driving a bullock cart: "Everyone get on the cart, the third child is gone, but I, the uncle, am still here!"
After all, the ox cart was faster than walking, and we soon arrived at the small mountain village.
Li Yunlan saw a circle of people gathered in the middle of the village. Someone saw an ox cart coming from the end of the village, with many laborers sitting on it, and hurried to find the village chief.
The crowd gave up their positions automatically. Li Yunlan saw his two sons beaten into pig heads. Qiu Degui hugged his younger brother and protected him with his body. Qiu Defu closed his eyes and remained motionless. She felt sour and her tears couldn't stop flowing. She was soft. My feet were almost unable to walk.
Supported by Qiu Defa, he stepped forward and asked Degui in a dry voice: "What happened to Defu?"
When Qiu Degui saw his mother, he cried and said, "Mom, the second child is...the second child is him."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlan sat down on the ground: "Is your dick gone?"
"No, he's just unconscious."
This brat... Why is he still breathing heavily when he talks!
"Who beat him, where is Lao Chen's family?" Boss Qiu shouted angrily from where he was standing.
When Father Chen saw these people coming from his old enemy's family, he couldn't be kind anymore. He turned around and looked at his youngest daughter and wife fiercely.
The mother and daughter were so frightened that they trembled like a sieve.
Then he stepped forward and said, "My in-laws and my uncle are here."
Li Yunlan stood up and said, "Who are your in-laws? I don't have such in-laws. I have to help Degui carry Defu to the bullock cart. Let's go to the county government."
When Boss Qiu saw his two nephews being beaten like this, he was so angry that he wanted to blow up the Chen family's house.
Unexpectedly, his sister-in-law suddenly said this, and he couldn't answer it.
"My mother-in-law, what kind of yamen are you going to? We are all a family and don't have to do this..." Father Chen panicked a little.
Li Yunlan sneered: "A family? Now my two sons are beaten like this in your house, and their lives are still uncertain. You tell me they are a family? Your three sons..." She glanced at them and accepted it. Some skin wounds said: "It's very good. Every one of them counts. No one who does it can even think of running away."
A few of the people present swallowed their saliva in shock. In fact, if there were two against three people fighting each other, they would not get any advantage from each other, but in this small mountain village, many people who were related to each other came to interfere.
They stopped after Qiu Defu was beaten until he fell to the ground.
Li Yunlan glanced around and saw Mrs. Chen standing not far away. She rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go."
Father Chen knew that he would not get any benefit from going to the Yamen's house, so he stepped forward to pull Li Yunlan's arm. Li Yunlan slapped him with a slap, and there was a sound. His three sons were the first to react and wanted to come up to fight him. Li Yunlan, the enemies here also came forward and started fighting.
The village chief of Xiaoshan Village ran over and said, "Stop fighting, don't fight." He saw the village chief of Xiaoliu Village sitting motionless on a bullock cart: "Mr. Liu, you didn't even stop me."
Village Chief Liu said: "How could I stop them? Two young men from our village were beaten like this in your village."
Village Chief Chen saw that Qiu Degui's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Qiu Defu was already unconscious and was shocked. He knew there was a fight, but he didn't expect the beating to be so severe.
Sighing, he got into the crowd and said, "Everyone, stop it."
When everyone stopped, Village Chief Chen said to the Chen family and his son, "Look at how powerful you are."
"It was her, she beat my dad."
Father Chen touched his face, and Village Chief Chen turned to look at Li Yunlan.
Li Yunlan didn't panic: "I am a newly widowed woman. He comes to hold my hand and I don't beat him? He is shameless, and my enemies want to do it."
Village Chief Chen glared at the Chen family and his son angrily: "What is the reason for beating people like this?"
"Village Chief Chen, please ask slowly. We are leaving first. My son's life or death is uncertain, and he has to see a doctor. When I go to the county government office to beat the drum, Master Qingtian will give me justice." After that, she left.
Father Chen winked at Youshi, and Youshi stepped forward and took Li Yunlan's hand: "My mother-in-law, please say goodbye. If you have anything to say, please tell me. If you don't even look at it, you'll have to watch Yun Niang give to her enemies." For the sake of having a grandson..."
Li Yunlan's eyes turned cold, and Youshi let go of his hand in fright.
When Village Chief Chen heard that he was going to the Yamen, he also came to advise: "We are all one family, so don't hurt the harmony. The young couple will still have to live together in the future."
Seeing that Li Yunlan was unmoved, Village Chief Chen went to persuade Boss Qiu and Village Chief Liu.
Mrs. Chen also came forward and kowtowed in front of Li Yunlan, begging her not to go to the Yamen.
Li Yunlan paid for it and asked someone to take the brothers to see a doctor first.
After the bullock cart left, Li Yunlan looked at Mrs. Chen who was kneeling on the ground: "They beat your man, but you didn't say a word. Your man was lying on the ground with his life and death unknown. You didn't even shed a tear. Now you are here for your brothers." He kowtowed his head, he is very good, he is a good boy who obeys his parents and loves his brother."
Mrs. Chen looked at her mother-in-law in confusion. Shouldn't she be angry and scold and hit herself? Why are you boasting so much?
"Your Chen family has raised a good daughter, and my son is also a filial son. Today, he suffered such a big crime because of me. As a mother, my heart is broken." After saying this, she cried: "My son! I My son!" She cried heartbreakingly.
Everyone present was moved.
"Village Chief Chen, my man is dead. No one in my Xiaoliu Village ever bullied our orphans and widowed mothers. They took care of us in every aspect. But today, in your Xiaoshan Village, he was beaten like this by his uncles and brothers at his father-in-law's house. You This is asking me to die. If my son has any shortcomings, I will risk my life to avenge my son, otherwise I am not worthy of being a mother."
Before Village Chief Chen could say anything, the eldest brother of the Chen family said: "Don't pretend here. Why did we beat him? Everyone will comment. Today, Qiu Defu took my sister and kicked open the door of my house. He threw my sister to the ground and said He sent my sister back, and she gave birth to a son to his old enemy. She never met a good mother-in-law. She was always treated harshly and abused in her husband's family. Today, she is being bullied indiscriminately. If she doesn't retaliate, When my sister has no backer, there is no one in my old Chen family!"
Li Yunlan clapped her hands: "Okay, very good. Mrs. Chen, I will treat you harshly? I'll rub you down? Look at her, does she look like she was beaten up and treated harshly at her husband's house? I want to ask whose daughter-in-law and worker Men eat the same thing, three meals a day, but you are missing from that meal. Because you gave birth to a son, you feel superior to others. You are very dissatisfied all day long. Today, you secretly took the peanuts and half a jar of meat from home and sent them back to your parents' home. We still Without saying anything, she started scolding, which daughter-in-law scolds her mother-in-law at home?"
Everyone turned to look at Chen Yunniang. She was pink and white, with thin skin and tender flesh. She was also plump. Except for the red mark on her head, there was not even a slap mark.
Some mothers-in-law were even more surprised. They ate three meals a day just like working men. Even though this was not enough, they stole meat and peanuts back to their parents' homes, and even scolded their mothers-in-law. Such unfilial piety would not be an exaggeration.
A scholar who was watching said: "If you disrespect your mother-in-law or insult your mother-in-law, according to the law, you will be punished with thirty sticks and three years in prison."
Mrs. Chen was so frightened that her legs weakened and she sat on the ground.
"You were not born and raised by me, so there is nothing wrong with being filial to your parents. If the second child is fine and wants to live with you, I won't say a word. If the second child wants to divorce you, I won't stop you. It's just that my son was killed today. If we fight like this, don’t even think about resting on this matter.”
Boss Qiu and Village Chief Liu stood aside. Originally, they were afraid that Li Yunlan, a woman, would be bullied, but they didn't expect to be able to say anything when they arrived.
