The voice of the visitor attracted everyone's attention. For some reason, Xu Nan felt that the voice was particularly familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Following the sound, Xu Nan saw a face that was both unfamiliar and familiar.
Xu Nan didn't suddenly realize it until the person spoke.
"I heard you guys noisy here all the way here, and I thought the voices sounded familiar, so I thought I'd come over and have a look, and it turned out to be you two!"
"I said to Xu Nan's second uncle and second aunt, this child has been abused by you since she was a child. She has not been given food or education, and the clothes she wears are all worn out by your sons and daughters."
"If I hadn't persuaded her to escape from the marriage, I'm afraid she would have been married to the forty-year-old bachelor from the village next door!"
Xu Nan instantly remembered that she was the aunt next door to the original owner's second uncle's house.
The person in front of me was dressed simply and had gray hair on the temples. She looked very kind. I thought she was the one who persuaded the original owner to run away from the marriage, thus preventing the original owner from falling into the trap of a wolf.
When Xu Nan looked at her, his eyes were filled with gratitude. Now that there were witnesses, let's see how the original owner's second aunt would retort.
When the people who had been watching in the crowd heard what the aunt next door said, they realized that they had misunderstood Xu Nan.
After all, it was impossible for one or two of them to lie. These onlookers were like weeds on the wall, and they immediately switched to attacking Aunt Xu Nan.
"Oh, we have misunderstood for a long time. This child has been too pitiful since he was a child."
"Parents leave their children to you, and this is how you treat them?"
"When you were young, wouldn't that mean you were not yet an adult? If you weren't given food, would you still be human?"
Seeing that the situation had suddenly reversed, Aunt Xu Nan immediately broke the jar and threw it:
"What are you so blind about?"
"This is our family matter, what does it have to do with you?"
When the second aunt of the original owner saw that everyone was criticizing her, she turned around and started quarreling with everyone, pinching her waist and rolling up her sleeves, looking like a shrew.
The original owner's second uncle, who was standing aside, silently watched his wife quarreling with others, looking like a cow.
"You are not your father's or mother's biological child. There are three ways to be unfilial and to have no descendants is the worst."
"You are an adopted daughter and have no blood relationship with our old Xu family. Why should I give you the money?"
"My son is the only child of Lao Xu's family. All the resources in the family are naturally used by my son."
Second Aunt Xu Nan didn't realize her mistake at all, she just felt that what she did was right.
After Xu Nan heard this, he was speechless and died.
What age is this damn thing? It's still a "only seedling". Does your family have a successor to the throne or something like that?
In the memory of the original owner, Xu Nan's second uncle and second aunt had two children in total, one boy and one girl.
It was not without reason that Xu Nan's second uncle and second aunt wanted to marry her to an old bachelor from the next village.
The son of Uncle Xu Nan's family was almost twenty-five that year. In the countryside below this small town, there were very few people at this age who had not yet started a family and had a wife.
First, Uncle Xu Nan's son was cowardly and lazy. He slept at home all day long and did not do any farm work. He was famous for being lazy in the village.
Secondly, Aunt Xu Nan was domineering in the village, often stealing from others, which disgusted the people in the village. She was notorious in the village and was not popular.
Putting the two things together, it is natural that no one wants to marry their daughter into their family and live in such a miserable life.
After dragging and dragging, I watched people of the same age get married, have children, start families and start businesses.
Only the son of Xu Nan's second uncle's family wanted money but no money, and wanted land but no land.
Aunt Xu Nan was so anxious that she ran around begging her grandfather to sue her grandma. Only then did she find a girl of the same age as her son in the next village all the way away.
Second Aunt Xu Nan dragged the matchmaker to secure the match, but the family asked for a gift of 3,000 yuan, otherwise there would be no discussion.
Aunt Xu Nan was shocked when she heard this figure. She had known that in this era, a family could save seventy yuan without eating or drinking for a month.
This 3,000 yuan betrothal gift is a big deal.
When Second Aunt Xu Nan saw that she couldn't raise the money, she thought that she might as well just forget about the marriage.
But who would have imagined that when Aunt Xu Nan's son heard that his wife was going to run away, he naturally refused to agree. He cried and made a fuss at home, clamoring for his wife.
Second Aunt Xu Nan had no choice but to give her idea to Xu Nan.
But who would have thought that in the end, Xu Nan would be persuaded by the aunt next door to run away from the marriage.
Now that the betrothal gift was gone, how could Second Aunt Xu Nan be willing to do so? Fortunately, in the end Xu Nan married Lu Nanzhou, and Second Aunt Xu Nan asked for a betrothal gift of two thousand yuan from Lu's mother.
Mother Lu couldn't bear to see Xu Nan get involved with that family again, so she gritted her teeth and gave the money.
With these two thousand yuan, the bride price was still not enough, so Aunt Xu Nan set her sights on her own daughter.
Aunt Xu Nan's daughter is named Xu Ning. She was only nineteen years old when she was married.
At such a young age, Xu Ning was about to be married off by her family because of her brother, and she refused to do so. It was a pity that she did not have the same luck as Xu Nan.
Even if Xu Ning made a fuss, it would be useless. Second Aunt Xu Nan was determined to marry her off in exchange for a bride price. Her resistance was futile, so she had no choice but to marry, even if she had resentment and resentment in her heart.
The two betrothal gifts added up happened to be enough money for the betrothal gift for her precious son. Maybe it was retribution. She happily married her daughter-in-law, but there was no movement in her stomach for so many years.
Because of this, Aunt Xu Nan even went to her daughter-in-law’s parents’ house to make a fuss and demand a return.
But her daughter-in-law's natal family was not vegetarian, so they directly took Aunt Xu Nan's son and her daughter to the hospital for examination.
As soon as the test results came out, Aunt Xu Nan was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, it was her son who could not give birth.
After learning the truth of the matter, the woman's parents first killed Aunt Xu Nan and her son, and then said they would publicize the matter widely.
If this matter spreads and is known to the villagers, wouldn't her son be unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life?
Of course Second Aunt Xu Nan would not agree. Such a shameless thing would naturally rot in her stomach.
Uncle Xu Nan's family was manipulated by his in-laws and daughter-in-law. Now the family not only had to deal with a son who was not doing business, but also coaxed a daughter-in-law who wanted a divorce.
It can be described as a miserable life.
After learning that there was no hope of having a grandchild in this life, the couple pinned their hopes on making money.
It's a pity that the two of them have been lazy all their lives. At this age, how easy is it to make money?
So they set their sights on Xu Nan, hoping to squeeze some oil out of her.
