The middle-aged man who wanted to sell the land to Wang Orion saw that there was only one child left in the Wang family, and he couldn't come up with 30 taels of silver, so he knew that the deal was void.It stands to reason that the deposit of five taels of silver he received before does not need to be returned, but he saw that Wang Xiaoer was really pitiful, so he wanted to return the money, but after all, it was five taels of silver, and he was a little reluctant to give it to Wang Xiaoer for a while. go out.Ji Chunshan could see the struggle and entanglement all over his face.

Ji Chunshan originally thought that according to the customs here, Wang He, as a married woman, is not to mention just a nephew who lost her mother and father. Even her biological parents can only give some money at most, but they cannot be taken to take care of by her in-laws. of.Although the Ji family is close to the Wang family, and Ji Chunshan doesn't mind raising another child, if outsiders know that Wang Xiaoer didn't go to his aunt's house, but lived in a stranger's house in the same village, they will inevitably gossip. It is also not good for Wang He and her in-laws.Considering both sides, Wang Xiaoer probably still wants to live at home.

And it happened that he just got a sum of money from the owner of the Nanshangjia who ordered the pickles years ago, and he was in ample cash, so he decided to replace Wang Liehu with a middle-aged man and bought the five acres of land.In this way, the deposit of five taels of silver given by Wang Liehu before can be returned, and with this money, and his care, it is enough to ensure that Wang Xiaoer's life is worry-free, and There is no need for Wang He to spend any more money to support Wang Xiaoer, and then let her be severely criticized by her husband's family.

But what Ji Chunshan didn't expect was that after Wang Orion's funeral was finished, Wang He returned to Wang's house and began to pack up Wang Xiaoer's things, saying that he wanted to take Wang Xiaoer to her husband's house to take care of him, and told Ji Chunshan's in-laws had already agreed to this matter, which really surprised Ji Chunshan.After all, he and Chen Song are familiar with Wang Liehu's funeral affairs together in the past few days. He also knows that his parents are there, there are brothers and sisters, and there is no separation.Even if there are one or two soft-hearted ones, they may not all be willing to raise a child with a foreign surname in the family, so he never thought about Wang Xiaoer living with Wang He.

It's just that whether to stay in Anping Village or live with Wang He in Chen's family still depends on Wang Xiaoer's own opinion.So Ji Chunshan went to ask Wang Xiaoer, and told him that he bought the five mu of land and got back the deposit of five taels of silver.Ji Chunshan wanted Wang Xiaoer to know that he had enough money to guarantee his own life, and that he and the villagers would take care of him, and there was no need for him to live under the hedge of others, but Wang Xiaoer was silent for a long time, and finally decided to go along with him. Wang He went to Chen's house.

Wang Xiaoer's decision naturally surprised Ji Chunshan, but looking at the pale and haggard little face in front of him, he calmly thanked himself and said that he didn't want to trouble himself anymore, and Wang Xiaoer seemed to be very sensible. Ji Chunshan knew that the sudden death of Wang Orion had made Wang Xiaoer grow up rapidly in just a few days, and he was no longer innocent and reckless as before.And this kind of growth based on misfortune and pain, as if being plucked, only made Ji Chunshan feel distressed.

Wang Xiaoer had already made a decision, but he never changed his mind no matter who tried to persuade him, but he had the same stubborn temperament as Wang Liehu.Now that the matter has come to an end, Ji Chunshan also respects Wang Xiaoer's own wishes, but discusses with Wang He again, out of the five taels of silver, give one hundred Wen to the Chen family every month, and count it as Wang Xiaoer's board and lodging expenses , so that no one will gossip, and Wang Xiaoer can live a better life.

Wang He understood what Ji Chunshan meant. In fact, when she decided to take Xiaoer into her in-law's care, she was ready to pay some money to her in-law's every month. Later, she learned that the eldest brother's house had been emptied by Du's family, and most likely he would not come back. At that time, she didn't change her mind, and she came out of her private house after thinking that she couldn't leave her eldest brother's only son alone and let him live alone. Therefore, hearing what Ji Chunshan said at this time, she Yes no disagree.

After everything was settled, Ji Chunshan went home to set up a carriage to send Wang He and the others back, while Wang He continued to pack things at Wang's house.First put Wang Xiaoer's clothes, quilts and other odds and ends into a big box, which will be taken away.Other items of the Wang family, such as rice, noodles, meat, eggs, and vegetables that cannot be stored for a long time, were almost used up at the thank-you banquet before, and the rest were distributed to the villagers and neighbors who came to help. The furniture and furnishings in the several rooms were all unmoved. After all, Wang Xiaoer would have to come back several times a year to visit Wang Orion's grave, and he might have to live there for a day.

In addition, there are Wang Orion's, Du's and Wang Ning'er's things. Wang Oriou's stuff is put away and left to Wang Xiaoer, while Du's and Wang Ning'er's clothes, Wang He, are packed and put away. But he was planning to send it to Du's family in person.

When Ji Chunshan led the carriage and arrived at Wang's house with Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu, Wang He had already packed everything up and was standing outside the Wang's house with Wang Xiaoer and Chen Song waiting for him. A big box, with a big burden on it, and the gates of the Wang family behind them have been locked.

Ji Chunshan stopped the carriage, and went forward to move things into the carriage with Chen Song, while Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu bid farewell to Wang Xiaoer on the other side.There is a private school in Xiaoxihe Village, but the master is just an old student, and can only teach children a few words, so Shuxiu is very cheap.Wang He knew that Wang Xiaoer had been studying with Ye Qinglan, so he planned to wait until he went back, so he sent him to a private school.Ye Qinglan was very happy that Wang Xiaoer could continue to study, and after discussing with Ji Chunshan, she decided to give Wang Xiaoer the three enlightenment books Ji Chunshan first bought.And Ji Ningxu gave Wang Xiaoer the purse that Wu Yunxiu gave him on his birthday, but the purse was bulging, and he didn't know what was inside.

It was late and it was time to set off, Chen Song carried Wang Xiaoer into the carriage, Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan said something, and then they also got into the carriage, shook the reins, and the carriage started to go.Ji Ningxu let go of Ye Qinglan's hand, and chased him a few steps, with tears in his eyes, he could only watch the carriage go further and further away, and Wang Xiaoer's figure became more and more blurred until he could no longer see it.

On the carriage, Wang He hugged Wang Xiaoer, who was crying silently. When the carriage got on the avenue, Ji Ningxu and Anping Village could no longer be seen, Wang Xiaoer lay on Wang He's lap, crying cry.

Xiaoxihe Village is to the west of Anping Village, so it is reasonable to say that it is not in Yanghe Town, but the Du family left some things in Wang's house, and Wang He went to Yanghe Town first if he wanted to return them to her in person.Ji Chunshan and Wang Orion came to Du's house to welcome their relatives before, so he recognized Du's house, so he drove the carriage directly to the door of Du's house. Before the carriage stopped, Wang He couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out of the carriage .

"Open the door! Du Ruomei, come out! Open the door! Are all of your Du family members dead? Or have you done something wrong and dare not come out to meet people? The whole family is shameless and despicable, get out quickly—" Wang He Shouting and cursing loudly, he smashed and kicked the door of Du's house.

It was only until the neighbors in the neighborhood were attracted by Wang He's voice and whispered around, but no one from Du's house opened the door, and there was no sound at all in Du's house, as if no one was there.

Wang He yelled and scolded for a long time, but the door of Du's house did not move at all. With a sneer on her face, she said loudly: "Don't open the door, right? Play dead, right? Just right, then I'll go to Li's house and talk, so that they know, they How did the money received as a dowry kill my elder brother? How did their good in-laws raise a daughter who just watched her husband get seriously injured and just hid the money from her private house, and finally gave her husband to death? , their good son-in-law Du Jia Erlang is such a waste that the eldest sister who married off her own family used up her husband's money to afford the dowry—"

Wang He scolded for a long time before, but there was no movement in the Du family, so he scolded Erlang of the Du family. The door of the Du family opened immediately, but it was Du's mother who stood in the doorway. She looked at Wang He with a look on her face Righteously said: "Don't talk nonsense here, this matter has nothing to do with my son! Besides, your eldest brother died hunting in the mountains, not because of my daughter's anger. I thank him for divorcing my daughter before he died and letting her die. Being able to marry again gave her a way out, but my Du family didn't take a penny from the Wang family, so you don't want to pour dirty water on my family and come to blackmail my family's money."

Mother Du said this, but it was within the expectations of Ji Chunshan and others. The reason why they decided to wait for Wang Orion's funeral before coming to the Du family was not necessarily to give the Du family a chance. After all, they took away the money from the Wang family. , it was Mrs. Du who hid money from his private house and refused to buy medicine for Wang Orion, and the Du family thought that Mrs. Wang knew that Mrs. Du took the money back to her natal family. But I don't know.If the Du family understood the truth, after the Du family brought Wang Ning'er back to the Du family and learned everything, they should have come to the Wang family to apologize and pay back the money.

But what is disappointing is that until the end of Wang Orion's funeral, neither the Du mother and daughter nor any member of the Du family showed up. At that time, Ji Chunshan and the others knew that the Du family was probably planning to deny this matter. After all, whether Mrs. Du took away the Wang family's money, or whether Wang Orion was mad at him, they didn't have any proof, even if they went to sue the officials, they couldn't win. And at this time, as they expected, Mrs. Du didn't agree at all. recognized.

Wang He knew that her elder brother's money would not come back, and she didn't intend to. She came this time to tear off the face of the Du family and let everyone see that his Du family is a family of black-hearted things. .

It's just that although she had expected it, she was still trembling with anger when she heard what Du Mu said, and pointed at Du Mu's nose and cursed: "I'm talking nonsense? I extorted your money? Bah, your family's money is yours. If you give it to me, I would still be dirty! You are a shameless thing, you dare to do it, you bastards, are you not afraid of retribution? Do you think I have no proof?"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom. It was Wang Orion's letter of divorce to Mrs. Du who pressed half a shocking bloody palm print before his death. At that time, Mrs. Du took Wang Ning'er away, but Ji Chunshan She didn't give her the letter of divorce. Later, when Wang He came, she took it out and gave it to Wang He.

"Look at this, everyone. This is the letter of divorce written by my elder brother just before he died. Du Ruomei vomited blood and died. There are also his bloody handprints on it. Take a look, it is clearly written on it. It's clear that Mrs. Du has no morals and is unworthy of being a wife. What kind of shit is giving your daughter a way out, bah, my elder brother has recognized Du Ruomei's viciousness, and I'm afraid he will suffer from Du Ruomei again without my poor nephew. Black Hand, you just divorced her. You still dare to deny it now, you are really worthy of being a family, a nest of snakes and rats is despicable and shameless, are you still human?" Opened the divorce papers and turned them around for all the onlookers to read. When Wang He thought of how worried his nephew would decide to divorce his wife when his elder brother was dying, and how hard he pressed the bloody handprint, he couldn't help but burst into tears with grief.

Until now, after seeing the divorce letter with the blood-red handprints, and seeing Du's mother's pale and flustered face, but she couldn't say anything, everyone finally understood that what Wang He said was true, and the Du family really did it. After doing such unscrupulous and immoral things, for a while, strange eyes and condemning words were cast on Du Mu.

Mother Du swayed and almost fell to the ground.She only knew that her son-in-law was dead and her daughter was divorced, but she only thought that the money she got from the son-in-law's family would not have to be repaid, and that the Wang family had no evidence, so they would just deny it. No matter how capable they are, she didn't expect such a letter of divorce.Divorcing his wife before death, Du family has no virtue, even if there is no other evidence, just the word "no virtue" is enough to make people believe what Wang He said.

Wang He ignored Du's mother who was speechless. As soon as she pushed her away, she rushed into the courtyard of Du's house and shouted, "Du Ruomei, don't shrink in here, get out of here! I Brother, how can I feel sorry for you, you hurt him so much? Come out and explain it to me!" Du Shi is the culprit, and she will never let her go.

"...I didn't do it on purpose, really, I didn't want to, don't blame me, my lord, I didn't expect it to become like that, I really didn't want to, please forgive me, lord..." Wang He just entered Du's house In the courtyard, Du Shi's voice suddenly came from behind, and she suddenly looked back, and saw Du Shi was in a locked wing room, with disheveled hair, pale complexion and a dull expression, her hands were holding onto the window edge with the torn window paper , looking straight at Wang He, muttering something in his mouth, as if he was a little dazed.

Wang He was startled by her appearance, and lost his voice for a while.

"Auntie? Auntie, are you here to pick me and mother home? Auntie, Ning'er misses her father and elder brother. Ning'er wants to go home, but grandma locked Ning'er and mother up and wouldn't let us go back. Auntie... ..." In the locked wing, apart from Du Shi, there was actually Wang Ning'er, but she was short, and Wang He saw her only when she heard her voice.

……

Ji Chunshan watched the carriage accompanying Wang Xiaoer outside the door of Du's house. Hearing the sudden silence behind Wang He who rushed into the yard shouting, he walked towards the door, and saw Wang He and Chen Song sitting in Du's house. In the courtyard of the house, there was no danger, so he didn't follow in, and sat back in the carriage.After a while, Wang He and Chen Song came out together. Afterwards, Wang He left the bag containing Du's and Wang Ning'er's clothes at the door of Du's house, and got into the carriage, but was about to leave.

On the way, Chen Song told Ji Chunshan what they saw Du Shi and Wang Ning'er in Du's house. Ji Chunshan was silent for a while, but finally shook his head, sighed and said nothing.It's useless to say anything now.

After driving for an hour, they finally arrived at Xiaoxihe Village.There are many brothers in the Chen family, and they are still harmonious, and they can be regarded as a well-off family in the village, as long as the courtyard is not much worse than the Ji family's old house, it can be seen.Afterwards, Ji Chunshan was invited by Chen Song to come in and sit down. He didn't refuse, and stayed at Chen's house for a meal. He basically met all the men in Chen's family, but he saw that they were all ordinary country men. Did not find anything wrong.

After sitting down for a while after dinner, Ji Chunshan got up and said goodbye.After he left, Wang Xiaoer secretly told Wang He that when Ji Chunshan was waiting for her and Chen Song at the door of Du's house, he put two taels of silver into the purse that Ji Ningxu gave him.
