Chapter 233: Pretending to be a Pig and Eating a Tiger(1/2)
The three words "old man" mentioned by Hu made the mulberry leaves twitch straight, and he almost couldn't help but complain back. Unfortunately, she couldn't do this. There was no way. These three words were based on her being Hu's elder, and it was a respectful title for Hu to give her, not really referring to her age.
The villagers were also shocked by Hu's words. When their eyes fell on Mang Ye, Mang Ye's face showed a shock and a grievance. His body leaned against Meng's mother-in-law, lowered his head and did not speak, as if he looked sad and depressed.
Meng thought she was really sad, so she immediately held her hand with heartache and comforted her. After a while, Zheng Lin also came to her wife and stood with her. In this way, she felt that mulberry leaves were greatly wronged.
Think about it, a new wife of Qingqing and pregnant woman was still a pregnant woman. When the man was not at home, she was thrown into a basin of sewage. It shows how many grievances she suffered these days. Now the truth is revealed, and it is strange that someone is deliberately framed, so it is strange that she is not wronged.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned away and fell on Hu, who was proactively confessing. Although he wondered why Hu chose to confess on this day, he only felt that her conscience was uneasy, and he was very interested in knowing why she wanted to frame the wife of the Zheng family.
Judging from Hu's words, someone instigated her to do this, which would be interesting.
Niu, who had not left, suddenly felt something was wrong when Hu said something. Her eyes were staring at Hu, and she had the urge to rush up and bite her to death.
The clan leader naturally attaches importance to such a scandal in his clan. After hearing Hu's words, he was very angry and immediately asked her to tell the cause and effect of the incident and explain the person behind him.
"It's her, it's her. She was jealous of Aunt Sang, the sister-in-law, who encouraged me to spread rumors and frame Aunt Sang." In front of the Zheng family, Hu did not dare to shirk his responsibilities, and did not forget to bring Niu up and tell me the reason and process of framed Sang Ye that she had processed.
After leaving the Zheng family yesterday, Hu kept thinking about what Sang Ye reminded her. She didn't know what Sang Ye meant, was she not happy about Niu and wanted to take the opportunity to cure Niu, or just kindly reminded herself.
No matter which one it is, this matter is indeed inseparable from Niu. She was cheated by Niu, and it would be best if she could pull her in and take responsibility together. Even if Niu escaped by her in the end, this basin of dirty water was poured on her body. If you want to wash it white, it depends on whether it can be washed clean.
If Hu pointed out to Niu, it was like a thunderclap that exploded on everyone's heads. There was no way, Niu and Sang were relatives, and even if they were separated, it was an indisputable fact. Moreover, they did not have any conflicts on weekdays. Even if they were not close, they were not as close as they were to the point of death. I really couldn't think of why Tongniu did this.
"This Hu family is afraid that it is not shirking responsibility and deliberately biting people, so that Sang and Niu can compete, right?"
"No, Sang and Niu are both present. If Hu dares to say this in front of them, he is not afraid that they will confront each other on the spot, and he is afraid that they will be inseparable from Niu."
"Let's hear what they said first, we can't guess just here, so."
""
The villagers were talking, and even though they deliberately lowered their voices, they still faintly reached Niu's ears, making Niu almost breathe.
At this time, Sang Ye stood up and spoke, exposing Niu: "Dear uncles and aunts, I hope you don't blame my brother and sister before the facts are clear."
When she said this, Sang Ye looked at Niu with a sad look on her face, but she was very sensible inside and outside, and she was unwilling to doubt the younger brother and sister of Niu: "Sister-in-law, tell everyone, it has nothing to do with you, and you can say it quickly, as long as you say it, I will believe you."
It would be fine if they didn't say this, but it deepened the villagers' suspicion of Niu. Especially Sang Ye's expression was very wrong, as if he knew that this matter was inseparable from Niu. As a result, everyone looked at each other like sharp thorns, which directly stabbed Niu's body.
The trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is clearly what Niu is best at. With this trick, she didn't know how many people she disgusted. Originally, Niu wanted to use it
This move deliberately revealed that Sang Ye and Hu colluded and deliberately framed Niu, who used this to make a comeback, instantly seemed to swallow a live cockroach, which was very disgusting.
However, no matter how disgusting it was, Niu had to cheer up and deal with the pot of dirty water on his head that would fall down at any time. He had a deep love relationship with Sang Ye: "Sister-in-law, just be willing to believe me. We are sisters-in-law, how could I encourage Hu to do such a vicious thing?"
Looking at Niu, who was still in a state of distortion, Sang Ye thought that he was a talented person, and his reaction was so fast and his mental quality was so strong. No wonder he could stumbling to Hu before and let Hu jump into the trap obediently.
Thinking of this, Sang Ye was alert, but he showed a look of relief on his face: "It's better if you are not a brother or sister. Although we had been unhappy about trivial matters before, my sister-in-law knew that you were not bad and would not really hate my sister-in-law."
The "unpleasant" that Sang Ye mentioned refers to the fact that Niu and Zheng Shuiqing came to the door amid the New Year and asked Old Man Zheng and Meng to come forward to persuade Zheng Lin to go to the city to find a job that was easy and able to make a lot of money for the couple.
At that time, Sang Ye had a baby in the room and did not directly meet these two people, but it did not prevent her from telling the matter and giving the villagers a motive for Niu to deliberately frame her.
After hearing this, Niu's face changed instantly. But she couldn't figure out that Sang Ye was just talking casually, or she had already colluded with Niu to deliberately punish herself, so she had to show weakness: "That time, my husband and I were ignorant and colluded with my parents. Fortunately, my parents didn't care, otherwise we would be very unfilial."
As he said that, Niu looked at Old Man Zheng and Meng beggingly, hoping that they could speak for themselves.
If the Niu had not planned on Hu's rumor, Old Man Zheng and Meng might have been soft-hearted and covered up the Niu's in front of others. Now the two elders had no idea at all. After facing Niu's gaze, they turned their heads aside and pretended not to see it.
Seeing this, Niu felt a little cold.
The others were not blind, and they all saw the reactions of Old Man Zheng and Meng. The temperaments of these two people are well known to everyone. No one thinks they are deliberately unable to get along with Niu. They only think that Niu and Zheng Shuqing have done something too much and have completely annoyed people, so they refuse to speak for their daughter-in-law.
The crowd started to talk again. The focus of this discussion was on what big things Niu and Zheng Shuiqing did, which made Old Man Zheng and Meng, who had always been good-tempered, were so disheartened that they were reluctant to even speak. Combined with Hu's identification just now, everyone's eyes at Niu became very subtle.
Of course, some people questioned Hu's words and couldn't help asking: "You have never been incompatible with Niu, why did you frame Sang when you listen to her? Could it be that you framed someone and deliberately threw this pot of dirty water on Niu's head?"
This suddenly revealed the truth. Hu felt panic and calmly calmed down: "Yes, I and Niu are not in harmony, but not to the point of death. I and Aunt Sang don't have a deep hatred. If Niu hadn't instigated me, would I do such an unethical thing?"
Fearing that everyone would not believe it, Hu then said half-true and half-false about how Niu instigated her. However, in her narrative, Niu's seemingly unintentional words turned into deliberate, and he also said that Niu found her privately and tempted her to frame Sang Ye with a lot of money.
She was obsessed with it and helped her. Later, she heard that Zheng Lin, the cousin, was inquiring about the people who spread rumors. She was already scared and thought that this kind of thing was too immoral, so she took the initiative to call it today, hoping to get the understanding of the Zheng family.
People may not believe lying. Lies like this half-true and half-false, which no one can refute, can arouse other suspicions. After Hu finished speaking, everyone's eyes looked at Niu became more complicated.
Seeing this, Niu almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, pointed at Hu and said with a sharp voice: "You are lying, you are framed by me!"
Hu resisted the urge to rush over to fight Niu and persuaded him earnestly: "Aunt Niu Xiao, it is her own ability to receive the trust of her husband's family. She has a big house and is also her fate. She is lucky to marry the capable uncle Jingzi. You are not as good as her everywhere! As long as you are willing to admit your mistake, this matter may be good. I don't care about anything else. I have men and children. I can't let God punish them for my mistakes. You, just admit it!"
Say more and more mistakes, if Hu just keeps the responsibility to the bull
The man pushed her and continued to argue with her how she instigated herself, and she would soon reveal her flaws. Now that she advised Niu like this, she looked regretful, which made people believe her words.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Sang Ye spoke again and asked Niu in disbelief: "My brother and sister, what Hu said is true?"
Niu's face changed again, and he strongly denied: "Sister-in-law, believe me. This is Hu's own idea. She wants to frame me, but I really didn't do it!"
Sang Ye showed a heartbreaking expression. Seeing Niu endured it and couldn't help it, he said desolately: "You and your second brother came to the door, hoping that your parents could tell you about your husband and let you arrange for you to work in the city. My parents didn't know if your husband could do it, so they said that they would talk about this matter when your husband came back. You and his wife refused and made a big fuss that made their parents sad."
Speaking of this, Sang Ye seemed to be unable to continue talking, and looked at Niu with confusion and grievance, saying, "You couple left angrily. I thought the matter was not big, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that my brother and sister would do such a thing!"
At this point, the reason why Niu framed Mang Ye finally came to light. Looking at Niu, who looked ugly and unable to defend himself, this time, no one doubted Mang Ye's words.
But Sang Ye seemed to have lost all his strength and was unwilling to look at Niu again. He said to the man beside him: "I am a little tired and want to go back and rest first. You will be the one who is your husband!"
Even though he knew that his wife was playing a show, Zheng Lin was still very worried and subconsciously said, "I'll send you back."
Sang Ye almost couldn't hold back his sad expression, and he didn't dare to show any strangeness, so he lowered his head and whispered: "Mom just go back with me, just stay."
However, this weak behavior fell into the eyes of others. I thought she was hurt by Niu, and I felt quite sympathetic for a moment. This made me mess with a slut, but my sister-in-law stabbed in the back. It was really pitiful!
Zheng Lin reacted and his face turned cold. He let go of Sang Ye's hand and said to Meng: "Mom, then I'll be fine if you go back with Ye'er. I'll come back later."
"Okay, you don't have to worry about it with your mother." Meng knew that this matter could not be done well. She wanted to remind her eldest son a few words, but she didn't know how to speak, so she didn't say anything else. She pulled the sleeves of the eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Let's go back first, and leave the rest to them."
Sang Ye nodded, then looked at Niu, who had completely lost his calmness, and followed Meng, in his sympathy or non-interesting eyes, and walked through the crowd and towards Shangzheng Village.
Seeing that grandma and aunt were leaving, Duohua and his siblings were so cold that they didn't want to stay in front of the ancestral hall to drink cold wind, and they were even less interested in what Niu did, so they followed hand in hand.
The others watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leave and continued to devote themselves to this ethical incident. If they were sympathetic to Sang Ye, they were full of disgust and puzzled towards Niu.
On the way, Meng looked at Sang Ye several times, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back without saying anything.
Sang Ye noticed something and kept waiting for her mother-in-law to speak. Seeing that her mother-in-law had retracted for the fifth time, she simply asked: "Mom, do you have something to say to me?"
Meng hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.
Sang Ye sighed secretly and said, "Mom, we are the only ones here. Just say whatever you have."
When Meng heard this, she showed some confusion on her face. In the end, Ai Ai said, "Niu did something wrong and didn't know what A Lin would do." Speaking of this, she was afraid that Sang Ye would think too much, so she quickly explained: "Mom is not trying to plead for Niu, but she is worried that A Lin will be told again if she has done too much."
Meng didn't know that the play was caused by Sang Ye hinting that Hu. She felt very resentful towards Niu, especially because it was exposed in public by Hu. As Niu's mother-in-law, she felt uncomfortable, but she was even more worried that her eldest son would deal with it heavily, and she gained a reputation for being cold-blooded and heartless in front of others.
Sang Ye thought about it and revealed his mother-in-law: "What my brother and sister do is big and big, and what I am young is nothing happened to me. But my husband must be resentful, and he must be punished. Maybe he will send her to the city if he wants to work in the city.
If you don’t meet again in the future, you don’t have to worry about her doing anything bad again.”
"Really?" Meng opened her eyes wide in surprise. In her opinion, sending Niu to the city to work was completely cheap, and it was not a punishment at all: "This, can't this be done?"
Sang Ye nodded affirmatively and smiled, "No matter what, Niu is a younger brother and sister. Even for the sake of the third brother, my husband will not be too harsh. But my husband is afraid that he will worry about his younger brother and sister coming to harm me in the future, so he finds a way to arrange her to the city. When his younger brother and sister's life is better, he will probably no longer be obsessed with it and have those lusty thoughts, it is the third brother."
Speaking of this, Sang Ye seemed a little distressed: "It is not appropriate to send his younger brother to the city alone and leave his third brother alone in the village, but he should also send his third brother, because he is afraid that someone in the village will gossip and thinks that his husband can't stand his third brother."
When Meng heard this, she said anxiously: "No, as long as we two old people are here, no one will gossip. Then she will say that it is my and your father's idea. A Lin is just helping to help. Even if outsiders know, they will only say that A Lin is loyal to each other."
After the rumors spread, Meng also realized that even if the eldest daughter-in-law and Niu were in the same village, even if they did not live together, they would have similar things in the future. She also felt from the bottom of her heart that it would be better for the two daughters-in-law to separate, and she didn't have to worry that Niu would be able to be quieter in the future.
Sang Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will feel relieved when you have mom's words! As long as the third brother is willing, my husband will go to the city after the New Year to see if he can arrange a job for the third brother and sister. In this way, they have a serious job, and maybe they can wake up like the second brother and sister and support their small family."
As a mother, even if she hated her incompetent son to the extreme, she hoped that they would be good. Meng naturally hoped that his younger son and his husband would become better as his second son and his husband. Now, after hearing the eldest daughter-in-law's words, she couldn't help but say: "It would be great if it could be changed."
After saying that, she looked at her generous eldest daughter-in-law everywhere and didn't know what to say. If someone else had encountered such a thing, she would have been a big upside down. She didn't bother with Niu, but she also thought about her third son everywhere. Having such a daughter-in-law is a blessing for their Zheng family!
Sang Ye didn't know what Meng was thinking, and he felt a little guilty for his small lie, but this guilt was nothing compared to his own safety.
No matter what, the three-bedroom couple is a big hidden danger. Living in the same village with these two people, do you know if they will have something else. Now their men are willing to give them a last chance to throw them into the city they long to go to. Although the work they do is more difficult than a charity village, if they can really reform themselves, there is not a better way out.
She knew even more that if her mother-in-law knew that the eldest son wanted to throw the younger son and his wife into a place like the mine, even if she couldn't say anything, she would feel very uncomfortable. Instead of doing this, it would be better to hide it from her and not take the life of the couple!
When she got home, Meng cooked a pot of hot water and asked mulberry leaves to soak their feet to drive away the cold. Even Duohua and his brothers took out their small foot basins obediently.
After soaking her feet, Mulberry leaves became warm and comfortable, and she drank another bowl of chicken soup simmered on the stove in the morning. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, she simply went to bed and waited for her man to come back to tell her the result of the treatment.
But before the person came back, she fell asleep on the head of the bed in a daze.
After Zheng Lin finished dealing with Niu, he returned to the room as Meng said. He found that his wife's upper body was crooked against the head of the bed, as if she was about to fall off the bed in the next moment. He was so shocked that his heart almost jumped out, rushed forward in three steps and held his wife's upper body firmly, gently picked her up and placed it flat on the bed.
During this process, Sang Ye did not wake up. Zheng Lin simply took off her clothes and covered her with a quilt, then took off her clothes and got into the quilt, holding her wife to sleep and go back to bed.
He got up early in the morning and worked hard until now. He knelt on the ground for so long. Zheng Lin was indeed a little tired. Now he was holding his wife in his arms and lying in the warm quilt. After a while, he fell asleep with his eyes closed.
I slept well last night, but the couple didn't sleep well this time
Don't be impressed. When Sang Ye woke up, it was not dark outside. When she moved, Zheng Lin woke up, glanced out the window, and saw that it was still early, she rarely closed her eyes and prepared to stay in bed.
Sang Ye was anxious to know what to do with Niu, so he reached out and pushed the man: "Did the patriarch punish Niu? How did he punish him?"
Zheng Lin grabbed her hand, put it to her mouth and kissed her, her eyes still closed: "I'm punished, let her kneel in front of the temple gate for an hour every day, and kneel for a month in a row."
Sang Ye thought about it for a while and felt that the punishment was neither light nor serious. The main reason was that he completely condemned Niu's guilt after kneeling down and lost all his face.
The tone in her heart was a little calmer, and she asked again: "Where is Mrs. Hu, has she been punished?"
Zheng Lin nodded, his voice a little mute: "I'm punished too, a little lighter than Niu's family. I kneel in front of the ancestral temple for half an hour every day, and kneel for a month."
To be continued...
