Chapter 334 The accident arrives before tomorrow
Gong Mei was so frightened by Chen Dayong's words that she turned pale and crawled away quickly, not daring to get close to him at all.
The farce between the two families finally ended like this, and even the people who were watching were filled with sadness.
Chen Dayong’s tribesmen cursed and carried him back, while the people in Hankou Village lagged behind.
The people in the court dispersed, and the village chief's wife pointed at Gong Mei's head and cursed, "Do you want to kill your parents and brother? You saw the expressions of those in the Chen family just now. Do you think they Can I spare your family a life of mercy? I have never seen a woman as trouble-making as you!"
Gong's mother, Qiqi Ai Ai, lost her previous arrogance and only defended Gong Mei, "It's not our fault, so why should they bother us? Besides, the case was decided by the prefect, what else do they want?"
The village chief's wife was furious, "Yes! At most, they just don't like the people in our village and won't do anything. But what about Chen Dayong? Today he has lost all face and face. He is a man who cannot have children." What's the difference between being a eunuch? From now on, people will point fingers at you when you step out of the house. I wonder if he doesn't hate your family to death!
If he really doesn’t want to live and die with your whole family, where can you go to reason with him? You didn't even think of this, and you still dared to make such a fuss. No wonder you had such a quarrel with the Jiang family in the first place! I no longer want to deal with your family’s bad affairs from now on, you can just take care of it yourself! "
Village people left one after another.
Gong's mother held Gong Mei's hand helplessly, "What should we do? What if Chen Dayong really makes trouble for us? If I had known, I would have taken action at that time. If he had been injured more seriously, it would have been better not to get up for the rest of his life. !”
Gong's father was speechless after hearing Gong's mother's words, and said dullly: "If that's the case, it can't be solved with two taels of silver. Let's go! Let's talk about it when we get back."
The family brought Gong Hai home after being beaten with a cane.
Although it has entered autumn in Quzhou Prefecture, the weather has been stuffy these past few days. The house Gong Hai lives in is small and airtight. It is inconvenient for Gong's father to take care of him, so he simply places him in a thatched shed in the yard. The sea breeze blows slowly, which can also relieve the burning pain of his wounds. Pain.
Gong's father was busy giving Gong Haihai herbs, Gong's mother went to cook, and Gong Mei helped outside the thatched shed.
The whole family did not rest until it was almost dark.
Gong Mei looked at the fishing net hanging on the outer wall and said to Gong's father: "Dad, I will go to the sea with you tomorrow!"
Father Gong shook his head, "You are still injured, and you have just reconciled. Let's rest at home for two days. The situation at sea has not been right these two days, and I don't plan to go to the sea so soon."
Gong's mother was very anxious when she thought that her family had just lost twenty taels of silver. She asked urgently: "What's wrong? If you can't go to the sea, you can go to Weijiang! A Hai will probably have to lie down like this for ten days and a half. He can't do it." If you want to be lazy, everyone will starve to death sooner or later!"
"Auntie, don't speak so aggressively! Dad is not the kind of lazy person." Gong Mei depressedly interrupted Gong's mother's constant scolding.
Father Gong sighed and frowned, "I have found that the sea is not calm in the past few days. The waves are bigger than before. Sometimes a wave may overturn the boat. Obviously there is no strong wind or heavy rain." , I wonder if the waves were too big and the fish were hiding. We set the net for a long time and found nothing.
Yesterday, everyone said they would get together to discuss how to deal with it, but when it came to the Chen family's incident, they couldn't figure it out. "
Hearing this, Gong Mei felt a little uneasy, "Dad, since it's not safe, let's not go into the sea first. Nothing is more important than life. I won't stay at home and eat and drink for free. I will go to Pingfu Island in two days." Being a monk in Shuiyue An will not affect A Hai’s marriage.”
“A monk? What’s going on?” Gong’s mother became anxious, dropped her work and ran to Gong Mei to ask.
Gong Mei lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice, "Auntie, it is the best choice for me to become a monk in my current situation. If I stay at home, it will not be good for anyone. Even the villagers will alienate our family. I will leave and live a happy life." In two years, everyone has forgotten about these things. Of course, this is also the exchange between me and Li." Gong's mother shook her body and burst into tears, crying with regret, "How can the Jiang family be so heartless? I also gave birth to a posthumous son for Jiang Dachun!"
Gong Mei had a wry smile on her lips and tears in her eyes, "Auntie, if it weren't for that child, my end would have been even worse. Now that I'm in this situation, the Chen family has also suffered retribution, and the Jiang family and Guang En It’s only then that you got angry. From now on, you can live your lives honestly and they won’t trouble us again.”
She knew her punishment was over as soon as Jiang Ning allowed her to leave her.
Gong's mother was really scared from the bottom of her heart. She muttered twice, but in the end she didn't dare to say a single word of complaint.
Since Gong Hai was sleeping in the hut and was still injured, the family was worried and kept watch in the hut. They could help Gong Hai as soon as possible when he wanted to relieve himself in the middle of the night.
The first half of the night was fine, everything was calm, and there was not even a sea breeze. In the second half of the night, a strong wind suddenly came up, and there was a thunder in the sky, which frightened the family of four sleeping in the thatched hut until one Buddha appeared and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Gong's mother sat up in a panic, feeling her whole body shaking and the world spinning, "I'm so dizzy!"
“Auntie, I’m so dizzy too!” Gong Mei almost couldn’t sit still, so she supported Gong’s father to steady herself.
The next moment, the straw shed suddenly collapsed.
Before the four members of the Gong family could finish screaming, the sound of houses collapsing could be heard from all around. The huge movement scared the four members of the family to the point of flying away.
When they struggled to climb out of the thatched shed, they found that their house was gone!
A bolt of lightning flashed across, and the family of four were stunned by the sight in front of them.
At five o'clock in the morning, you can usually see some light, but today, the city is covered with dark clouds. It is still dark all around, and you can't see your fingers. Heavy rain is pouring down. The streets of Quzhou Prefecture are filled with rainwater, and every house seems to be... An island in the water.
Several teams of people were walking through the streets, busy rescuing people buried in rubble.
The lights in Dongli Villa are brightly lit.
Jiang Ning woke up early and has been sitting in the front hall waiting for news.
Zhu San came in in the rain. He felt as if he had fallen into the water. Even his trousers were dripping. He did not dare to come in. He just answered outside the threshold, "Madam, I have seen it in the Zhuangzi. Fortunately, our houses are all newly built." The bricks and tiles made specially by the second young master are very strong. There are only a few cracks in the houses, but there are no signs of collapse. The younger one has asked the people in those houses to move out and stay in the inn temporarily. "
"Is the inn okay?" Jiang Ning's frown did not relax at all.
Zhu San nodded heavily, "I checked each of the small rooms and found that they were all in good condition. However, the guests at the inn were a little frightened. Butler Zhu had already sent someone to calm them down.
Our village in Zhuangzi was not affected. I heard that some houses in Xinghua Village collapsed. Fortunately, the Jiang family stayed at Dongli Villa last night. "
