One was four or five years old, one was six or seven years old, and both were young children. No one doubted that they would lie. Hence, the people of Zhou Tian's family could not argue at all. Furthermore, Zhou Tian's and Chow Dalang's people had indeed hit and scolded the mother and daughter duo, and they had indeed cursed the mother and daughter pair every single day. They simply did not think that this girl was deliberately framing them.
The matter of the ancestral hall being opened was extremely serious in this era. If a woman entered the ancestral hall, it would be the same as being caught red-handed. Of course, Zhou Tian was not willing to allow his wife and eldest son's wife to enter the ancestral hall, so he hurried forward. My family is just a country woman who doesn't know anything. What are you getting angry at a woman for? Sanlang had been away for the imperial examination for more than a year. Her thoughts were extremely uncomfortable, which was why she occasionally went crazy. The little girl is the daughter of the Sanlang, and our treasure can't come over, so how can we do anything to her? Don't listen to a child's nonsense. "
Su Xinyu sneered in her heart. Zhou Tian wanted to slip past them like this, then when these people leave, her and his mother's days would be even more difficult. If that was the case, she might as well make things bigger. In the future, his mother and him would be living under the eyes of the entire village. If that happened, they could temporarily rest for a while. Therefore, she immediately wiped away her tears, "Great Granduncle, don't get mad at your granny. It's all because of this little girl. "Little girl, you won't need to hide anymore. Selling this little girl will help big brother get married!"
In this era, patriarchal attitudes were common. It was common in the poor families to use their own girls to remarry boys and girls. But that was on the premise that the children were of a suitable age for marriage. If he sold the little girl to someone else to be a child's bride, it would be selling the girl instead of changing the marriage. The nature of the act was completely different. No matter what, Zhou Family was not a small family, and the little girl's father was still a High Scholar. His family's elder wanted to sell the High Scholar's eldest daughter, which surprised everyone.
Zhou Tian screamed loudly, "Damn it! What are you talking about? When will I sell you out?! "
Su Xinyu acted as if she was extremely shocked. She answered shakily, "Bo …" When auntie was cursing, she said, yes. "
At this point, everyone turned to look at the Chow Dalang family. The face and neck of the Chow Dalang immediately turned red. I didn't! "Little girl, since you're so young and you already know how to lie, you will definitely be in trouble in the future!"
Madam Zhang's face was originally calm, but now her face was filled with even more anger. A lie? They were all from the same village, so they couldn't even see each other. Who didn't know what their family was like? How old is this girl? She was only four and a half years old. For such a young child to dig up wild vegetables in the spring, to hunt pigweed in the summer and pick firewood in the fall, and to feed chickens all over the yard in the winter. You've been ordering her around all year round, and you haven't seen her go out to play with any of his children. Where is she going to learn to lie? Even if I have to lie, I will learn it from you at home! "
At this time, the Madam Liu walked over. She had been married to her husband for seven years, and after his death, she had no desire to remarry. She had loved children all her life, and she hated people who abused them the most. As a result, Zhou Tian's family treated the little girl like this, she was extremely angry. However, she knew that at the moment the word 'filial piety' appeared, the only thing that could contend with the word 'filial piety' was her own 'festival'. Little girl, tell Seventh Grandmother, did you lie? "
Su Xinyu hurriedly said to the little girl. "The little girl doesn't dare, she doesn't dare."
"Madam Liu took the little girl from Madam Zhang's embrace. Zhou Tian, if your family doesn't like this child, then you might as well pass it on to me. I needed a child. Don't you guys want to find a rich family's miss for the Sanlang? That's fine. Make him leave with Madam Su and leave. I have taken Madam Su as my daughter. Doing this will help both you and the Sanlang, and also help me. It was to prevent the two of them from suffering. What do you think? "
Adopting a child was a common occurrence in the family. Not to mention a girl, even a boy was nothing. Furthermore, the Madam Liu was a person with a chastity arch, her existence was the entire Two-boundary Village and even the glory of the city. It was also possible for her to pass through the direct line of descent of the High Scholar's daughter. It could even make Zhou Sanlang's reputation even better.
But that was on the premise that none of these moths had appeared before. And Madam Liu even said that she wanted and to be together, then take Madam Su as his daughter. That meant she had to break off all relations with the Zhou Tian family. If this situation was to be known, Zhou Sanlang's face would be "too beautiful". Thus, when they heard this suggestion, not to mention Zhou Tian, even the Village Chief and Sixth Elder revealed an ugly expression.
Sixth Uncle was the first to speak: "Madam Liu, this is a family matter."
Madam Liu laughed: "Sixth Uncle, you also said that it's a family matter, so I just followed the family's rules right? This child called me Seventh Grandmother, how could I, a grandmother, watch a child suffer like this? She even called you her great-uncle, you wouldn't be so careless, would you? "
Sixth Granduncle almost choked on his words. The village chief stepped forward and bowed, "Please do not get angry at Zhou Tian's family. She's not as righteous as you. But Sanlang was only such a child right now, how could he possibly continue to go out? If you want to have children, we'll pick them for you. "
Of course Madam Liu knew that this could not be accomplished. The reason she had stood out and said all these, was because she wanted to give Madam Su and his mother a chance to catch their breath. That's fine. But I think they're busy, too. And to make love to Shitou. Since this Chow Dalang has the thought of selling this girl off, I won't be at ease if we allow our Zhou Family's daughter to stay in front of her. This way, body hasn't been feeling too well lately. Let Madam Su and the little girl come over and serve me for a while. Anyway, I'm just an old woman, I won't ruin their reputation. Sixth Uncle, Village Chief, what do you think? "
Now that things had developed to this point, if they did not agree, then everyone in the village would have to prod Zhou Family to their bones. However, Madam Ping did not plan to end it like this. Seventh Aunt'er, the little girl was frightened and then knocked unconscious by the Chow Dalang for a long time. This was the time to need treatment and recuperate. Furthermore, your Madam Su is very poor too. If you let her serve you, I'm afraid it will be the opposite. " After saying that, she turned to look at the Village Chief, "Village Chief, my father just gave the little girl a few pieces of medicine, and she has already drank them all. He originally wanted to be a country bumpkin, but this child was too young, so he just let it go. I didn't expect our family to expend so much money and effort to get their family to beat the child up. It can't be like this. My family's Gou Zi's medicine money and my girl's medicine money, Zhou Family must be given! "
She never thought that after the Madam Ping beat up her own grandson to such a state, she still wanted money. Zhou Tian wanted to scold them. and the Chow Dalang immediately pulled her back. Although their family had a High Scholar, they might even get a top scholar. However, even the top scholar had to have a good reputation. Now, everyone in the village was watching, they were not in the right. If he still refused to pay up, it would be too embarrassing if word of this got out.
Therefore, Zhou Tian hurriedly spoke up, "It is perfectly justified for a patient to spend money. Shitou didn't act like a brother and beat up Gouzi. We also wanted him to apologize. This matter had caused trouble for the old and young. I, Zhou Tian, am the one who failed to teach. He had only taught Sanlang on a daily basis, so he had completely ignored his grandson and granddaughter. I will not be so foolish in the future! Elder Brother Tian, how much do you think the medicine will cost? I'll go get it for you right away. "
After Su Xinyu heard all these, she remained in Madam Liu's arms for a long time. This Zhou Tian pushed his wife and daughter-in-law to the front during an argument, and then threw herself in as well. What did she mean by ignoring his grandson and granddaughter? Did she say that she was lying? With her heart being stifled, Su Xinyu rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she violently coughed for a moment, and fainted.
