The ancient life of a master craftsman

caveat

As a clan wife, it stands to reason that she should be kind and majestic, but this clan wife of the Mu family is different. She has always been decisive and ruthless, and all the daughters-in-law or husbands who marry into the Mu family are not afraid of her. Yes, in front of her, they behave like kittens and puppies at home.

But as she gets older, she becomes lazy and doesn't like to take care of things. She won't make a move unless the trouble is in front of her. Young wives rarely see her out for activities, so they gradually forget about the ancestral wife. means and rights.

The third aunt is the midwife of Huaimu Village, and more than half of the children in the village are delivered by her. This heart is particularly biased towards the children. The children she has delivered in these years also have their own children, and she can't help it even more. Partial.

The words Bai said when Mu Xiaolian was giving birth made the third aunt go home angrily, and she still hated it, plus Mu Xiaolian was lying on the bed without knowing whether she was alive or not, so it was uncertain whether she could survive it. , It made her even more angry and distressed, telling Brother Qing about the matter and letting him talk to the Yun family father and son didn't count. She slapped the table and decided to find her sister-in-law to take care of the matter.

"Sister-in-law, you are the clan's wife, and the sixth child is also on our family tree, so you have to take care of this matter." The third aunt was very angry.

Mrs. Muzhang's face dropped after hearing her babbling, "Lao Liu is too soft-hearted, I really want to do this."

As soon as the third aunt heard it, she knew that her sister-in-law was really angry, "Sister-in-law, don't be too angry, the sixth son is a little soft-hearted, but he has never been confused about major matters, but he almost handled the housework. Let's do it." Sister-in-law's more help will be enough."

"En." Mrs. Muzhang replied displeasedly, "Sisters and brothers, go and call all our daughters-in-law. Let's go to Lao Liu's house."

"Hey, I see, I'm going now." The third aunt hurried away.

After a while, six or seven young daughter-in-laws, including Mrs. Muzhang's eldest daughter-in-law, came, and followed Mrs. Muzhang to Yun's house. Because they were worried that old man Yun and the others would talk about family affairs, Mrs. Muzhang only brought them The eldest daughter-in-law of the quasi-clan wife and the honest young daughter-in-law went in.

When Brother Qing saw that she was an uncle, his legs couldn't help shaking, so he asked Mrs. Mu Zhang to come and help her. Brother Qing wanted to know gossip about how Mrs. Mu dealt with the unruly women in the village in the early years. , I knew it very clearly, and after that, I was terrified of Mrs. Mu Zhang.

It only took a cup of tea for Mrs. Mu Zhang to come out with Mrs. Bai who was tied up. She asked several daughter-in-laws to tie Mrs. Bai up and throw them into the side room of the ancestral hall, while she went home by herself.

"Call someone to deliver a letter to Li Family Village. Tomorrow, the Bai family will be dealt with. Call their clan wives. As for the Bai family, call them all." The old woman's hoarse voice made people tremble with fear.

Especially her eldest daughter-in-law was shocked when she heard her mother-in-law's calm and gloomy tone, but she didn't dare to refute. She couldn't imitate her mother-in-law's ruthlessness, but she didn't think it was wrong, "Daughter-in-law knows , and let the old and the small come for a while."

The Bai family didn't know how powerful the Mu clan's wife was, but it was hard for them to accept Bai Meihua's dismissal, especially Bai Lanhua, she was in a strange mood, as if she was surprised and angry mixed with a little joy , Anyway, it’s weird.

The wife of the Li family who received the letter was heartbroken, trembling with fright, and hurried to find the patriarch and village head of the Li family village, "It's no good, that old witch of the Muzhang family is going to kill someone again!"

Hearing the words Muzhang, the two most beautiful men in Li Family Village couldn't help but tremble, "Who? Who is Muzhang going to kill again?"

The Li family's wife still had lingering fears, "Who else could it be? The eldest daughter of the Bai family!"

Hearing this, the head of Lijia Village sighed, "It's her..."

This Bai Meihua didn't know whether to call her smart or stupid. The village chief of Lijia Village shook his head, not wanting to meddle in her affairs.

Back then, for the sake of the face of the Li Family Village, he had done his utmost to force Yun Musheng to marry her, and Yun Musheng was also a good person, if she hadn't risked her life, she would never have come to where she is now.

"Go tell the Bai family, wait for Bai Meihua's body to be collected, and warn them not to make trouble again, or the Muzhang family will dare to let Bai Meihua's body remain." The head of Lijia Village smoked a dry cigarette, his face full of sorrow.

The same goes for Li's clan wife, she doesn't like Bai's either, but no matter how Bai's family came out of their Li family village, if people know this, they should not spread the word that their Li family village has no way to teach daughters, and finally turned around When she came back, she, the clan wife, could not do enough.

Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to go to Mu Zhangshi to say anything. Mu Zhangshi is a soft eater, but if she fights hard, it is estimated that Bai Meihua's end will be even worse.

When the Bai family realized that Bai Meihua was about to lose her life, they exploded in an instant. Mrs. Li almost fainted, and rushed to Huaimu Village with her family.

Mrs. Muzhang stood at the intersection of Lijia Village and Huaimu Village, waiting for them, as if he had timed it right. There were also his three daughters-in-law beside him. Wood Zhang is as tough.

On the contrary, he belonged to the third family, a strong little brother, standing behind Mu Zhang with a deadpan expression, almost as scary as his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Muzhang was supported by the eldest daughter-in-law. Seeing the angry Mrs. Li's family, she looked at them coldly, "Here?"

Mrs. Li was choked, feeling cold all over, and could only pretend that nothing happened, and asked with her arms crossed, "You are Mu Zhang? Let my daughter go, if my daughter hurts a hair, I won't let you go!"

Mu Zhang sneered, "Can't you spare me?"

She patted the eldest daughter-in-law's hand, turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall, "Let's go, say goodbye to your daughter tonight." She said this so calmly, as if she didn't want a human life, but the life of any thing .

The youngest daughter-in-law stood beside her in silence, stretching out her hand to lead the way. Mrs. Li was anxious to see her daughter, thinking that she would take her away if she saw someone, and would never let her daughter be hurt by the old woman!

When they arrived at the place, Mrs. Li's family was led into a locked room, which was shady and cool, with two huge water tanks, and a few bamboo mats spread randomly on the floor. Sitting on a bamboo mat, her hands and feet were tied, her face was covered with tears and snot, and she was obviously terrified.

"Oh, my daughter, you have suffered! Yun Musheng, who has lost his conscience, just treats you like this! My poor daughter!" Seeing the pitiful appearance of her daughter, Mrs. Li hurried up to give her heart and soul , hurriedly helped her untie the rope.

The veil was also removed from his mouth, Mrs. Bai pushed her mother away, and threw herself on the door to open it, but the door was already locked when Mrs. Li and the others entered.

Bai Shi was terrified, she didn't want to die, she didn't want to die, "Open the door! Open the door! Open the door quickly! Musheng, I was wrong! Sis, please forgive me!"

She shook the door desperately, but the door didn't move at all, which made her collapse even more, crying and shouting, which shocked Mrs. Li and the others.

Mrs. Muzhang didn't go home either, so she waited at the gate of the ancestral hall, waiting for the person in charge of the Lijia Village to come. Fortunately, she didn't make her wait long, and the village head, patriarch, and clan wife of Lijia Village all came.

The village head of Lijia Village knew that Mrs. Li had rushed directly to Huaimu Village and knew that he couldn't escape, so he also came with a sad face, "Sister-in-law Mu, we meet again."

Mrs. Muzhang nodded, as a greeting, and then the patriarch Mu Laosan, the village head Yun Musheng, and Mu Da, who was in charge of the genealogy, all came over. Mu Laosan and the patriarch of the Li family village greeted each other, and asked people to bring old man Bai out. , to the yard not far away.

After everyone sat down, the patriarch Mu Laosan began to speak, "This is the second time our two patriarchs get together, and the reason is still the same."

Everyone in Li Family Village who was ashamed of what he said blushed except for the old man Bai. How did they know that Bai Meihua could do so well? After 20 years, the people of Huaimu Village could find a reason to punish her.

But after all, they are from their Li family village, and the patriarch of the Li family village still has to fight for it, at least to make people survive, "Brother Mu, this plum blossom has been spoiled since she was a child, because she has a bad temper and a little ignorance, but the crime does not deserve to die." , Brother Yun, you give me a letter of divorce, and I will let her father take her away."

Mrs. Muzhang snorted coldly, "Isn't it a sin to die? She deserved to die 20 years ago, so I won't disturb Lao Liu for the rest of his life."

Although the old man Bai knew that he shouldn't interrupt at this time, but it was his daughter, "Mu Sheng, Mei Hua has been married to you for 20 years, and her son is also born. If she does something wrong, you can teach her. If you can't, you can send her away." Going back to Li Family Village, our own daughter can discipline herself, right?"

Yun Musheng never thought of taking Bai's life, but his sister-in-law had already decided that no matter what, he would teach the Bai family a lesson, so he glanced at Mu Zhang with some hesitation.

The old man Bai saw that his heart had softened, and the head of the Li family village and the patriarch also saw it, and they all surrounded him to sell their feelings and express their grievances, trying to save the Bai family's life through him.

Mrs. Muzhang said, "Mr. Bai is alive, which is the evidence of your licentiousness/slutty women in Lijia Village. The old Liu was soft-hearted and covered it up for you. Now that Mrs. Bai has left Mu's Village, we will not keep what happened back then. "

This statement is false. If Muzhang wants to kill Bai, she will not use the crime of lewdness. There is still an unmarried brother in Lao Liu's family, but she has to let the people of Lijia Village know her attitude. .

The old man Bai heard it, and became anxious, "Yun Musheng, you are still human, my plum blossom has been married to you for so many years, if you make a mistake, you will kill her?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Huaimu Village was annoyed, and so was old man Yun, "Mr. Bai has been taking money from your house all these years, right? My son can't even wear new clothes during the New Year. What about your house? Eat meat and eggs!"

"I bought a new dress for my son, and it was worn on your granddaughter the next day. What's going on? When the eldest of my family got married, I earned the dowry money by myself, and Mrs. Bai only gave three taels of silver! I married Mrs. Bai returned five taels!" Old man Yun was angry, and after holding it back for half his life, he finally exploded today.

"Also, my eldest daughter-in-law gave birth yesterday. What was she doing? She hid the brown sugar and lied Lizi to go out, because she sold the pear for 20 taels of silver! This is what a mother would do. Is it? That 20 taels of silver is my son's life money, is it easy for your family to take it? Is it comfortable?" Old man Yun questioned word by word.

"The most vicious thing is that she not only sells the child, but also wants to kill the eldest daughter-in-law and my eldest grandson! When the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth, she asked her to die with the child. Is he/mother a human?!" Old man Yun He slammed the table hard, and his heart ached when he thought of yesterday.

The room was silent, and the white old man didn't know that his eldest daughter would do such a stupid thing, but there was one thing he didn't admit, "Yun Musheng, I've made it clear, I have never seen your family's money." , Xiaocha's clothes were also stuffed by plum blossoms for Lanhua, I didn't know you bought them for Lizi."

"Hmph, where does your family get the money to eat meat every day? Where does Bai Xiaocha get the money to wear new clothes every day?" Old man Yun has lost his mind, and quarrels with each other.

The old man choked, he wanted to say that Lan Hua and his wife earned the money, but when he thought of his second son-in-law, he felt that he couldn't say that.

Mrs. Mu Zhang couldn't listen anymore, "Enough!" She hit Old Man Yun's leg with a stick, and Old Man Yun almost knelt down in pain.

"Worthless! Your son has been bullied for so many years, and you still don't know how to say anything?" Mrs. Mu Zhang hit old man Yun with a stick after another, very disappointed with him.

Old man Yun thought that Mrs. Bai was the mother of Dahe and Lizi, and no matter how cruel she was, she would never treat her child too much. Besides, the child was still young and could not leave her mother, but he never thought that Mrs. Bai was really so cruel and so cruel. Heartless.

It's just with such a fluke idea that being a mother will never really hurt the child no matter what, and coupled with the busy affairs in the village, before he knew it, Bai's went too far, and in the end he almost had to pay for it. Dahe's wife and Lizi lost their lives.

Thinking of this, old man Yun couldn't help wiping away his tears, "It's me, an incompetent father, who made the children suffer for so many years."

The old man Bai knelt down to Yun Musheng and the others, "There is no way to teach a daughter, it is my old man who made a mistake, if you want to kill me, kill me and spare my daughter's life!" kowtow.

Mu Laosan stepped forward to stop them, and Old Man Yun hurriedly stopped them too. Old man Bai was a generation older than them, so kneeling and kowtowing for them like this would shorten their lives? !

Mrs. Muzhang squinted her eyes, knowing the old man's plan well, she sneered in her heart, thinking that with such a trick, they would be able to restrain them?

Ah.

"Let's do this," Mrs. Muzhang stood up and said to the old man Bai, "You said you didn't know that Bai Meihua gave you the money, so the money must not disappear, so who did the money go to? Who cares about your family now? money?"

The old man Bai thought of the face of the second daughter, but he didn't dare to say it. He could only say that Mrs. Li was in charge of the money. Mrs. Mu Zhang knew that he was lying when she saw him, so she asked the youngest daughter-in-law to bring Mrs. Li and Bai Lanhua. .

After bringing it here, without waiting for Mrs. Li and Bai Lanhua to act, Mrs. Mu Zhang asked directly, "Where is the money Bai Meihua gave to your family? Return it."

Mrs. Li subconsciously glanced at Bai Lanhua, and Mu Zhang knew that all the money had gone into Bai Lanhua's hands. The money is enough, she looked at Bai Lanhua, "Bai Meihua will pay back all the money that Bai Meihua has given over the years, and pay 20 taels of silver for Dahe's daughter-in-law to support her health, so I will release Bai Meihua."

"This..." Mrs. Li hesitated.

But the white old man shouted actively, "We promise, we promise, Lan Hua, hurry home and get the money."

Bai Lanhua hesitated at the side and said, "Here, what money did my sister give the family, just bought a few clothes and jewelry for Xiaocha, I don't know how much..."

Looking at Bai Lanhua's contrived face, Mrs. Muzhang was really disgusted, "You know exactly how much you took Bai Meihua. If you are not afraid of others knowing that you cheated of your own sister's money, your daughter is even a cousin. The bitch who wants to grab clothes, just keep talking hard."

Bai Lanhua immediately shed tears, "Auntie, what are you talking about? My sister and I have had a good relationship since we were young, how could we lie to her?"

Mrs. Mu Zhang didn't want to hear her pretending, and said in a deep voice, "100 taels, including the principal and 100 taels of interest, and I will put white plum blossoms when I return it. If I don't pay it back, I will see her in Shentang tomorrow!"

"Why don't you go grab it! 100 taels?! She only gives me a tael of silver a month! Why should I pay 100 taels to save her?" 100 taels? !

Everyone in the room looked at her differently, as if they had known her for the first time, and the white old man pointed at her with trembling fingers, "That's your sister! How can you not save me! How can you take your sister's money and die?" Girl, hurry up and get the money!"

Bai Lanhua was impulsive at the moment, and regretted it after she finished speaking, but she couldn't change what she said, so she stopped pretending, "I don't, sister? I don't have such a stupid sister, so stupid, she will say whatever I say." Xin, she deserves to die!"

"You! You, you, you!" The old man covered his heart and said several words of you, but couldn't say the rest.

But Bai Lanhua seemed to have figured it out, "Father, you like your sister so much, you think about her for everything, but what's the use? In the end, I'm not the one who will take care of you and your mother!"

"Anyway, I don't have the money to save her, and I wouldn't pay the money if I did, so I won't be here to watch the affairs of your Huaimu Village." Bai Lanhua left the yard, and left with her honest and timid husband-in-law. It doesn't care about Bai Meihua's life or death.

Hearing this, the patriarch and village head of Li Family Village didn't have the face to stay any longer, and before leaving, they apologized to Yun Musheng, "Village Chief Yun, this is a big deal, alas, we must be fine when we go back this time." To rectify the atmosphere in the village, the previous money may not come back, but we will definitely give you back the money of your youngest son!"

Old man Yun sent them away with a sullen face. Old man Bai and old lady Li wanted to beg him again, but old man Yun didn't want to talk anymore, so he waved his hand, "I'll listen to my sister-in-law on this matter, and you don't have to." Tell me, but if she had a little love for Lizi before, it will not be like this now, and Xiaolian's family will not forgive her when they know about it."

As he said that, the door was knocked open, and Mu Xiaolian's parents stood outside holding a kitchen knife, striding over, the kitchen knife chopped at the heads of old man Bai and old lady Li, and they screamed and fell down in fright. sit.

The kitchen knife will stop at the noses of the old man Bai and the old lady Li, "You killed my daughter, and you still want to leave alive?"

Mu Xiaolian's father chopped the kitchen knife onto the table next to her, and it actually went in. The old man Bai and Mrs. Li's eyes almost popped out of fright, when the old man with a gangster face said, "It's fine if you want Bai Meihua to live, but I'll cut you two old fellows apart first, and the father will pay the debt!"

Old lady Li reacted faster than old man Bai, she kept yelling in a shrill voice, "No, no, no, we can't save you, go and kill Meihua! We can't save you!" The old man scrambled and walked out.

The couple holding the kitchen knife did not stop them, but snorted coldly, and then looked at old man Yun, "Liu Liu, if you are soft-hearted, I will turn my face against you. How much did Xiaolian suffer for marrying Dahe?!"

"I..." Old Man Yun looked at the faces of his elder brothers, and slowly lowered his shoulders, "She is the mother of children after all..."

Mrs. Muzhang went out, "According to the family rules, Mrs. Bai must die."

By the time Yunli and Yunhe found out, Baishi had already been tied into a pig cage and thrown into a river more than two meters deep.They're just this morning, motherless...
