Chapter 14: Chapter 14
Chapter 14 14 Lively Night
Mrs. Gu's unreasonable move is to use her seniority to suppress her. Although it is old-fashioned, it is very effective.
Some mothers-in-law in the crowd saw this and began to scold Qi Qi, "Daughter-in-law Xiaoen, this is your fault. She is still your mother-in-law no matter what. If your mother-in-law scolds you a few words, you have this attitude. This is a big deal."
Unfilial..."
"That's right, she is an unfilial thing. She pretended to be good when Xiaoen was alive, but as soon as Xiaoen left, she immediately revealed her true colors." Mrs. Gu immediately became excited when she saw someone supporting her, "Look, look,
Tsk tsk, my Xiaoen has only been away for a few days, and she is building a new house to live in. She has no conscience..."
Qi Qi's face was covered with black lines, and she really wanted to slap her in the face, but unfortunately she couldn't.
Seeing that everyone is going to be led astray by her and public opinion is one-sided, what should I do?
Qi Qi was anxious and felt a cramp in her stomach. She immediately covered her stomach and sobbed painfully, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much, Grandma Six... I have been worried and scared all day long.
A thief comes to my house in the middle of the night, robbing and killing people. I am a widow with no one to rely on, so I am not just at the mercy of others..."
The sixth wife immediately understood and answered, "Oh, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay, your method is very good, didn't you catch the thief..."
"What's the use of catching her? Look at my mother-in-law's attitude. She must hate me. My life is miserable... Grandma Six, at first she said it was a family separation, but who doesn't know that I was kicked out by the Gu family?
Ah..." Qi Qi whined and complained. The other party was shameless, so she didn't need to leave a fig leaf for her.
"Ugh, if it weren't for the clan leader, the village chief, and a few uncles who made the decision for me, I would have been kicked out with a heavy stomach. What would be divided among the families? No money or food at all.
Let’s take a look at the shabby buildings at the east end of the village. The ancestral house has not been inhabited for decades, so how can it be lived in?
I won’t use the dowry money to build a house, and when the child is born, he will live in the wilderness with me and suffer. He cares about the family and doesn’t take his grandson seriously. I can’t. Xiao En left me with this thought. I can’t let him
No descendants, no one to worship during the Qingming Festival..."
Humph, who doesn’t know how to cry?
Qi Qi endured the pain in her stomach and stood up to perform a blessing ceremony, "Grandpa Patriarch, uncles and uncles, you have to make the decision for me."
"Heh, she's got a big belly." Someone in the crowd muttered softly.
"That's what my mother-in-law said." Qi Qi said sadly, "My brother-in-law climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and entered the courtyard to steal. Is this his own business? Don't forget, we have separated!"
"Hey, widow sister-in-law and brother-in-law..."
Ever since the Gu clan became a Jinshi, the village has set up a clan school. When the men in the village reach their age, they will basically go to school for a few years. The clan leader prides himself on being scholarly and values his reputation more than anything else. How can he allow them to be so arrogant?
.
Many people in the crowd booed. Who would believe such nonsense?
"Oh...Gu Xiaoci, are you?"
But Mrs. Gu didn't care, as if she had found a life-saving straw, she held on to it, "Yes, that's the reason. My son just came here to have a look. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
"Yes, yes, we don't believe it." A boy in the crowd, who had always disliked Gu Xiaoci, booed maliciously, "But besides stealing, there is another possibility."
"What else?" Someone next to me was curious.
Everyone laughed unscrupulously, completely angering the clan leader.
Lu Liu twisted his clothes with both hands and was very nervous, but still managed to continue, "What I said is true. My husband-in-law just had a dream about his eldest brother. In his dream, his eldest brother asked him to take more care of his sister-in-law and nephew.
No, he didn’t worry about my sister-in-law, so he came over to have a look..."
Suddenly, Lu Liu said something, but the people present didn't believe it at all.
Qi Qi cried so hard that I felt pity for him, but maybe he was a little too excited and his stomach hurt a little bit.
Sure enough, when I looked up, everything that was supposed to come had come.
He looked at Gu Xiaoci, who was being bandaged by the old man, and then at the bloody animal trap next to him, frowning, and asked, "Gu Xiaoci, tell me, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"Hehe, just steal the fragrance and jade."
"Haha, how is that possible? For a woman with a big belly, Gu Xiaoci has quite an appetite, hehe..."
Gu Xiaoci was grinning in pain. When he heard the patriarch's majestic question, he couldn't help but trembled. He hesitated, "I, I..."
I couldn't even come up with a decent explanation for a long time.
Qi Qi was furious after hearing their malicious arrangement and wanted to fight back. Unexpectedly, the clan leader got angry first. She suppressed her anger and kept silent. She only kept the few troublemakers in mind.
"Hey, poor thing, it's hard for a widow, and there is no place for a widow who is not welcomed by her husband's family..." The sixth wife comforted Qi Qi with empathy, "Be good, don't cry, the patriarch and the others are here, they will
It’s up to you.”
"That's enough, what are you talking about!" the patriarch yelled, "You are all too presumptuous. As a member of the Gu family, you have such dirty thoughts, have you read all the books you have read in the past few years?"
Qi Qi said sarcastically, "Haha, look at me? You came to see me in the middle of the night and you didn't even open the door, but you decided to climb over the wall? Who would believe it?"
"My husband-in-law is worried about my sister-in-law, so he came here to have a look. And he doesn't have any bad intentions."
"He, he didn't, it was me who asked him to come." Mrs. Gu was anxious, "Yes, I asked him to come and see you. I was afraid that you would be in danger if you lived alone. How could you misunderstand him?"
"
"You guys, go back and copy the clan rules for me a hundred times. If you don't hand them over in ten days, you will be expelled from the clan."
The patriarch originally didn't want to take care of this messy matter of the Gu family, but it has become a matter of the clan's moral character. He can't let it go, otherwise the boys below will follow suit and the whole family's atmosphere must be ruined. This is absolutely not allowed!
When Mrs. Gu saw the person, she looked very ugly and yelled loudly, "Who is the master? This is a matter that happens behind closed doors within the family, so there is no need for outsiders to point fingers."
"Is that right? Qi Niang, tell me, Xiaoci didn't do anything. He just came here to have a look. You misunderstood him." Mrs. Gu stared at Qi Qi closely, the threat in her eyes was naked.
The corner of Qi Qi's mouth twitched, and she was speechless at her opening her eyes and telling lies and nonsense, and her stomach seemed to be getting more and more painful. She gritted her teeth and said, "No. If he just came to see me, why didn't he knock on the door and come in openly?"
, why do you want to climb over the wall? And when I was walking outside during the day, I found a lot of shoe footprints at the base of the wall outside the yard and on the wall. This was obviously something that had been planned for a long time..."
"Qi Qi, don't be ungrateful. Xiaoci is your brother-in-law. If he's not good, don't even think about it." Madam Gu was furious and kept threatening her.
"Patriarch, village chief, uncles and fellow villagers, you all heard it, I can't live anymore..."
