Chapter 565 Crops destroyed
Chapter 565 Crops destroyed
The mother and son who were engaged to Sun Xiaotao huddled in a corner with the matchmaker, trembling with fear.
"Well, you little whore, you actually dared to sneak back to your parents' home and even wanted to remarry without telling us. I think you want to die! Whore! Bitch! You don't take good care of my grandson, but go and seduce others. I think you just don't remember to be punished!"
Old Mrs. Wang became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she slapped Sun Xiaotao twice.
It seemed that he wanted to take revenge for the humiliation he suffered in Jiangjia Village a few days ago.
Sun Xiaotao used all her strength in these two slaps, and a tooth fell out of her mouth.
She knelt on the ground and cried, not because of regret, but because of pain.
"It has nothing to do with us. We didn't know she was taken. It was the matchmaker and the Sun family who deceived us. Fortunately, the betrothal money hasn't been paid yet. We are leaving. You can beat her or kill her if you want. It's none of our business."
After saying this, the mother and son ran away.
The Zhou family didn't stop them.
Old Wang slapped the matchmaker a few times and threatened her for a long time before letting her go.
The matchmaker had the loudest mouth and was beaten. From then on, no matchmaker within a hundred miles dared to help Sun Xiaotao to be a matchmaker.
Sun Qiaoer and her daughter were working in the fields, leaving only the Zhou family and Sun Xiaotao's family of three at home.
The wailing sounds continued.
The Sun family's house was smashed to pieces by the five brothers of the Zhou family. The stove was destroyed, the pots were rotten, the jars were broken, and the food inside was scattered all over the floor. The four legs of the wooden beds in several rooms were broken into various shapes, and the bedding was cut into pieces. It was definitely impossible to sleep there.
The Zhou family also took the opportunity to steal the money that Wang Yaonu had hidden in the cabinet, a total of five taels, which was exactly the betrothal money that the Zhou family had given before.
They haven't had time to send their grandson to school.
As for the other Qians of the Zhou family who did not move, if they pushed them too hard, they would also be in trouble.
Sun Xiaotao was dragged away by the Zhou family.
Wang Yaonu and Sun Cong were lying on the ground, their life or death unknown.
"Grandma, Grandpa——"
"Wow, Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa were beaten—"
Their grandchildren ran to the fields crying and shouting.
The villagers of Sunjia Village all ran over, but the Zhou family had already left.
They would not seek justice for the Sun family either, because the Sun family is known for being evil-minded.
After watching the excitement, the crowd dispersed and went about their business.
Sun Xiaotao was taken back to Zhoujia Village with her right leg broken. The Zhou family refused to give her treatment and locked her up in the house, leaving her life to fate.
The big blue brick and tile house that was originally built with the help of Gao Caijin is now new on the outside and old on the inside.
The Sun family looked at their destroyed home and felt like crying but had no tears.
They didn't even dare to go to the Zhou family to ask for an explanation.
If I get beaten again, who can I turn to for justice?
You can only grit your teeth and swallow it.
When Wang Yaonu woke up, she was scolded by her three sons and their wives.
She wondered why she wanted to keep Sun Xiaotao in the first place. Now she had not made any money, and the five taels of betrothal gift she had received had also been taken away. Her house was in a mess, and she had to buy everything new or repair it, which would cost a lot of money.
And he brought shame to the village.
It was a huge loss. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
After this incident, the Zhou family kept a stricter watch on Sun Xiaotao, not allowing her to go out at all, and even sent Ye to keep an eye on her at home.
And Liu Xiang'er was also hated by the Zhou family.
One night, the door of Zhou's family was opened, and five figures came to the fields under the moonlight. The five brothers drained the water from Liu Xianger's several acres of rice fields.
Worried that the rice would wither, they thoughtfully watered the rice with hot water.
The next morning, the couple who came to the fields to work were dumbfounded.
"Damn it, whoever destroyed my crops, you must die a miserable death—"
"What a bunch of beasts! It must be Zhou Kui's family who did it! It must be!"
Liu Xianger sat on the ground crying.
Zhou Changgu gripped the hoe tightly, his eyes looking as if he wished he could kill Zhou Kui's entire family.
"Oh, you are really not afraid of God's punishment. Even if you have a huge grudge, you can't destroy other people's crops. Isn't this killing people?"
"The good rice is gone just like that. Oh, what shall I do?"
"Hase is right. It must be Zhou Kui's family who did it. When will these beasts get their comeuppance?"
"How come there are so many troubles in our village? Village chief, you should think of a solution. If we don't get rid of the troubles, the village will be finished."
Not only Liu Xiang'er and Zhou Changgu were angry.
The villagers who were watching were also furious.
Over the years, countless families in the village have had quarrels and fights, and even more have had huge fights.
But no one has ever destroyed another person's crops out of hatred.
This is a terrible thing.
If the crops are destroyed, lives will be lost.
It's no different from murder.
Village chief Zhou frowned as he looked at Liu Xianger's rice fields.
"Everyone, pick up your weapons and go help Chang Gu to seek justice. If you don't help him today and offend Zhou Kui someday, be careful that you will end up like this."
The crops were ruined and the year's harvest was gone. At autumn harvest, while others had a good harvest, Liu Xiang'er and Zhou Changgu had nothing and still had to pay taxes. How could they still survive?
Those who originally didn't want to intervene, after hearing what Village Chief Zhou said, immediately followed with hoes and carrying poles.
The five brothers of the Zhou family were still sleeping soundly in their beds because they had stayed up late to water the plants.
The door was broken open by the villagers and they were woken up.
Faced with the accusation, several people refused to admit it. Their nonchalant appearance made Liu Xianger so angry that she fainted.
Zhou Kui is a good talker and Village Chief Zhou is no match for him.
In the end, the two sides did not fight, and the incident of the crops being destroyed just passed.
Zhou Changgu, who was disheartened, sold all the land and houses in his family when Liu Xiang'er was unconscious.
Then he took the money and moved to Jiangjia Village with his wife and daughter.
If you don't sell the land, you will have to pay taxes after the autumn harvest, so it's better to sell it at a low price.
Village chief Zhou is weak in character and can't help them in anything. As the patriarch of Zhoujia Village, he is so vicious. There is no need for him to stay in Zhoujia Village anymore.
When they arrived at Jiangjia Village, Jiang Zhuzi and Jiang Yadan welcomed them very much.
Although Liu Xiang'er was still angry when she woke up, she finally smiled after being coaxed by her grandchildren and daughter for a few days.
Zhou Kui expelled Zhou Changgu from the group.
From then on, he was no longer a member of the clan.
Zhou Changgu didn't care at all, he simply moved his household registration to Jiangjia Village.
With the money from selling the land and the house, Liu Xianger bought a few more acres of land in the village. It was too late to grow rice at this time.
You can only change to something else.
The days passed like this.
Meng Bujiu and Kong Mingxue returned to Lianshan Town in early July.
After the palace examination, Meng Bujiu's ranking moved up several places and he actually became the third place.
When he returned to the city, the townspeople all ran to greet him, wanting to see what the top scholar looked like.
Jiang Fubao was also among them. She stood out in the crowd.
A beautiful face falling among a crowd of ordinary faces is like a phoenix accidentally falling into a chicken coop.
"Brother Bujiu, Brother Mingxue--" Jiang Fubao was worried that the two men couldn't see her, so she jumped high and waved at the same time.
