Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

"Hu Jiazhuang and Hu Niangzi?"

A big question mark floated over Xiao Le's head.

Although this matter is dirty to people's ears, it has been spread all over the village and outside the village, and it has been embarrassing to the county, so there is nothing to avoid.

Xiao's mother sighed a long time, and talked about the past when Mrs. Hu married into the Hu family, "This Mrs. Hu was originally engaged to be married, and the engaged family was not the Hu family, but another family surnamed Chen, but that family A few days before the young man was about to get married, he went down the river to rescue someone and had an accident, and he died..."

Mrs. Hu had a child relative with the young man of the Chen family since she was a child, and the two families had a close relationship. Naturally, the relationship was good. The young man of the Chen family suddenly disappeared, and Mrs. Hu also suffered a serious illness. Wear plain clothes, eat fast and chant Buddha to keep filial piety for the young people of the Chen family.

The Chen family also came to persuade her, but Mrs. Hu just didn't listen and insisted on keeping her filial piety. Until two years later, the family members began to discuss marriage with her.

"This is a filial piety for others before she is married. Although many people think her behavior is touching, many people are unwilling to marry such a girl." Mother Xiao shook her head, "So Her marriage was delayed for more than a year, and at this time, the Hu family came to ask for marriage, and it was Mrs. Hu, but the person who asked was not the unmarried Hu Jiawang, but the widowed Hu Jiazhuang."

Mrs. Hu's family was not very happy, because Hu Jiazhuang's wife died of illness, and there were two little guys below, so she married to be a stepmother.

"Anyway, she's a big girl with yellow flowers. It's not that easy to be a stepmother, so their family politely declined."

Just one month later, the Hu family came to ask for marriage again. This time it was Hu Jiawang begging his family to come to marry Hu Niangzi's younger sister, Yunniang.

"Yunniang was only fourteen that year, and the Hu family also thought it was too young, but it would be good if it was decided first, but Lady Hu asked her family to change her name on the grounds that her younger sister was young, so she decided to give it to Hu Jiawang. .”

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Le's mouth twitched, and Second Sister-in-law Xiao took over the words, "I heard that Yunniang scolded Mrs. Hu in the courtroom, saying that she knew that she had a relationship with Hu Jiawang, but she interfered so that they had no relationship. Hu Jiawang It was when I got married that I realized that the person was wrong, and I have been sick since then."

Hu Jiawang has a heart disease, but he also hates his family's decision behind his back, and the married lady Hu.

The sicker he became, the more mischievous he was, and when he became confused, he scolded his family members and even moved his hands several times when Mrs. Hu was taking care of him.

"I only found out when I got married? Although the Hu family kept it secret, didn't Yunniang go to Hu Jiawang in private?"

Xiao Yunyue asked curiously.

"This is about Yunniang's parents. They forced her to die, saying that Mrs. Hu is not young, and Yunniang can stay for a few more years, forcing her not to meet Hu Jiawang, and keeping them under surveillance."

Xiao's mother sighed again and again, "This has killed two girls."

"How could you have harmed two girls?" Father Xiao retorted, "This Mrs. Hu has meddled herself. If it is said that she is the number one harming others."

"Since she knew that Yunniang and Hu Jiawang had feelings, why did she want to get involved?"

Xiao Le asked.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, Second Brother Xiao touched his nose and answered in a low voice.

"Then Hu Jiazhuang said in the court that during the year and a half after his proposal to marry Mrs. Hu failed, he had been secretly meeting with Mrs. Hu and giving him some food or things from time to time. Gradually, Mrs. Hu also had feelings for him. , privately begged her parents to agree to the marriage, but her parents did not want her to be a stepmother."

It was not easy for Lady Hu to meet someone who cared about her again, so she naturally didn't want to just miss it. After discovering that Hu Jiawang and Yun Niang had met in private again, she decided to marry Hu Jiawang and live under the same roof as Hu Jiazhuang. idea.

"After the marriage with Hu Jiawang was decided, the request made by Mrs. Hu's family was that after the marriage, the Hu Jiawang brothers must separate the family, so that Mrs. Hu and Hu Jiazhuang would be far away. Who knew that Mrs. Hu was ill, and she was not good to Mrs. Hu in private. , This made the Hu family who wanted to marry but failed to marry a man became murderous."

Xiao Le's head hurt from hearing this, "This Mrs. Hu...is there something wrong with her brain?"

Aunt Xiao patted her leg, "Uncle is smart! I heard that Mrs. Hu was crying and laughing in the courtroom, and sometimes she caught Hu Jiazhuang and called the young man of the Chen family..."

The county magistrate forced Yunniang's family to find out that during the two years of filial piety, Mrs. Hu committed suicide several times, and every time she was rescued, she would cry loudly and look crazy, and her family would give her medicine to cure madness Medicine, taking three days can manage a month.

After marrying into the Hu family, Mrs. Hu would be taken home by his father for three days every month, and these three days were actually drinking medicine.

No one in the Hu family knew about it.

Then Xiao Le heard from them that Yunniang learned that Hu Jiawang was seriously ill, and she really missed him, so she begged her family and sister to meet her.

Yunniang didn't even have a chance to say a word to Hu Jiawang, but when Hu Jiawang heard her voice, he opened his eyes with joy, he couldn't speak, but his hands trembled.

It was the look with black nails. Yunniang found out that something was wrong. She secretly took Hu Jiawang's medicine dregs and took it to the town to ask the doctor to check it. There were indeed poisonous weeds in it. She returned home in horror and fear. When I didn't know what to do, I heard the news that Hu Jiawang had died.

A few days after Yunniang lost her mind, she went to report the case.

The idea of ​​poisoning people was Hu Jiazhuang's idea. The reason why he and Mrs. Hu decided to do it was because Hu Jiawang knew about them and Mrs. Hu had a child of Hu Jiazhuang.

There are no dutiful sons before the bed for a long time. On the contrary, some parents don’t like their children to be sick. What’s more, Hu Jiawang is a labor force, but he can’t do anything at this working age. He still needs the care of his parents and mother. Not bad, even looked at them with hatred.

This made Hu's mother and Hu's father not love the youngest son even more, and felt that Hu Jiawang, who drank medicine all day long, had dragged down the whole family.

When they found out that Hu Jiazhuang had poisoned others, his parents' first reaction was not anger, but a state of mind that was finally relieved.

With this tacit understanding, Hu Jiawang was quickly buried. Who knew that Yunniang would report the case, which caught the Hu family by surprise.

In the evening, the village head's hall was full of people, and brother Xiao went to a meeting on behalf of Xiao's family and came back.

"What a crime, that Yunniang begged the people in the yamen to take a last look at Hu Jiawang's bones, but when the arrester wasn't paying attention, she took the other's knife and killed herself there, and the county magistrate decided to bury the two's bones outside the city together. "

This news made everyone gasp.

After a while, Xiao's mother said softly, "It's fortunate that Mrs. Hu's family took the two children away. Otherwise, what would the children do with such a big event."

Hu Jiazhuang's deceased wife gave birth to two girls, who were not popular in the Hu family. Later, after Mrs. Hu left, the two little girls were often beaten and scolded by Mrs. Hu. After Mrs. Hu's family found out, Just took the child away.

Because there were two girls, the Hu family didn't care at all, and when she was taken away, Mrs. Hu had already married into the Hu family.

Hu's father and Hu's mother were carried back to the village by their relatives two days later. No one went to visit Hu's house, and they honestly hid at home and did not come out.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, most people in the village came to ask Xiao Le to help write couplets.

It was supposed to give money, but Xiao Le declined it.

"You guys have helped our family a lot over the years. I'm just writing couplets for you, so I don't need any money."

In the past, the original owner never wrote to the villagers. This year, Xiao Le asked Ren Cong to release the news, so that no one dared to come to the door.

The reason why more than half of the village came is because these people have a good relationship with the Xiao family, and the rest of the people are self-aware and don't come up to be annoying.

This writing is one day.

In the evening, Xiao Le's hands were so sore that he trembled a little while holding the chopsticks.

Seeing Xiao's family feel distressed.

"It's okay, it'll be fine tomorrow."

The next day was New Year's Eve, and Xiao Le was the last to wake up. He was tired all day yesterday, and when he woke up in the morning, his wrist was still aching.

But I didn't tremble when I took the chopsticks.

"Today's snow is heavier than the previous few days," Xiao Le said after standing at the door of the main room and looking around.

"Yeah," Father Xiao nodded, "Looking at this, I'm afraid it will take several days."

"I'll go with my uncle this year."

In previous years, the original owner would not go to pay New Year's greetings, but would gather with his friends. He often went to the county on the first day of the new year and came back on the fifteenth day.

"Then I'll tell your mother," Father Xiao nodded with a smile.

After learning that Xiao Le was going to celebrate the New Year with them, Mother Xiao was very happy. Her natal family has two older brothers and one younger sister. They are all honest people. No matter whether Brother Le is famous or not, they are very good to their family. .

But most of them are grandmas and grandpas. Except for the New Year, they rarely visit the house on weekdays. The family is full of things.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and the table was full of dishes. After eating for an hour and a half, they drank and chatted.

After eating, Xiao Le ignored their obstruction and helped move the table and clean the floor. As for the dishes, he didn't touch his hands.

After packing up, everyone gathered in the fire room to keep warm while watching the new year.

Only by keeping the year old well can the crops of the coming year be good.

The firewood burns so well that it cannot be extinguished.

It wasn't until the sky was getting brighter that Xiao's mother smiled and took Xiao Yunyue and sister to make glutinous rice balls, which were stuffed with red beans.

Soft, glutinous and sweet, Xiao Le ate five of them.

After washing up, Xiao Le went back to his room to sleep, not intending to go to the county at all.

"Brother Le will not go out this year?"

Mother Xiao also asked.

"Not going out," Second Brother Xiao replied, "Brother Le said that Zhang Xiucai and the others were gossiping about him behind his back, and he doesn't want to associate with such a person anymore."

"Do they still have the face to say about our Brother Le? Didn't our Brother Le buy them a drink when we went to find them?"

"Keep your voice down," Xiao's father stopped his wife who was getting louder, "It's not good to make noise."

Mother Xiao cursed a few words in a low voice, then yawned and went to sleep.

On the first day of the new year, no one went to pay New Year's greetings, and most of them stayed at home to catch up on sleep, but some people did not abide by this rule. Xiao Le was awakened by the movement outside the courtyard.

He got up and came to the yard angrily, shivering from the wind and snow, only to realize that he was only wearing his underwear.

Brother Xiao opened the courtyard door, and saw a tall young man walking in swaggeringly with his hands full.

"Happy New Year, ouch, Xiao Xiucai, you don't have to rush to greet me, go back and put on your clothes."

Mo Butou looked at Xiao Le with a smile, and Xiao Le quickly walked back to the room.

Underwear was equivalent to underwear in ancient times.
