"What? Five taels of silver!" Old Mrs. Li was annoyed at that time.
Jiayin was uncomfortable being strangled by grandma's suddenly tightened arms, but she didn't care anymore and waved her fists in anger.
"Yes, mother." Tao Hongying had already warmed up, so she took her daughter over and said again.
"Wu Ergou pulled Jiaren's collar and scolded him so unpleasantly that all the students in the academy came out to see Jiaren's joke. Fortunately we went, otherwise Jiaren wouldn't know what to do."
Wu Cuihua felt guilty after hearing this . , his eyes rolled, he stepped back while replying with an embarrassed smile.
"Really? There's also this matter. Ergou is too ignorant. I'll definitely say something to him when I see him in the future..."
Unfortunately, she tried to fool him like this, but it didn't work. Li Laoer had already heard clearly and went up. He slapped Wu Cuihua in front of her, almost causing her to fall down.
"Wu Cuihua, how many times have I told you that you are lazy and greedy, and I can tolerate it, but you are not filial and will delay your child's future.
A few days ago, you asked Jiaren for money at the entrance of the village. Do you think I don't care? Do you know? I saved your face, but you actually let Wu Ergou go to the academy to make trouble again! I will beat you to death today, and the family will be quiet!"
Li Laoer was really angry and ran to the kitchen. He came out with a kitchen knife, his eyes were blood red and was about to chop at Wu Cuihua.
Wu Cuihua was so frightened that her legs went weak. She couldn't run anymore so she crawled on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
For a time, the Li family yard was full of chaos and chaos.
When people in the village heard the commotion, they came to break up the fight, and none of the old men next door were left behind.
Jiayin tried hard to hold my mother's arm, trying to see clearly.
It's a pity that Tao Hongying thought she was uncomfortable, so she held her upright on his shoulders and let Jiayin look at the lonely courtyard wall...
Although Mrs. Li was also angry, she couldn't let her son commit murder and go to jail.
So he called Li Laosan to help stop Li Laoer, and asked Zhao Yuru to ask the village chief.
Soon, Li Laoer's kitchen knife was snatched away, and he squatted at the door in pain.
Although he is literate, he has never gone out to study. Now that his son goes to the academy, he is realizing his dream. He really hopes that his son will honor his ancestors.
But he has no choice but to marry such a stupid wife!
The village chief heard the general idea on the way, and was happy that the Li family came to him. They treated him as an outsider and treated him with respect and trust.
Sure enough, Mrs. Li invited him and a few old men next door to sit down, talked about this trivial matter at home, and then continued.
"The misfortune of our family has made everyone in the village uneasy. I invited some old brothers and village chiefs to come over today just to be a witness."
She glanced at her children and grandchildren and sighed softly.
"As the old saying goes, a good wife brings less trouble to a husband, and the second son deserves to be blinded. But I can't let this prodigal troublemaker harm my grandson. So today, I asked the second son to write a letter of divorce, but I won't give it to the second son's wife for the time being. .
From now on, the whole village will watch over our family. Whenever the second daughter-in-law does anything bad, it will be when she is kicked out of the house. Some
outsiders who don't know the inside story will say that our Li family is cruel, and naturally there are also villagers. Let's be fair to our family."
The village chief and several old men sighed. The entire Li family, old and young, are all good people, but it is Li's second daughter-in-law who always causes trouble.
Now this divorce letter is like a rope, wrapped around her neck, and it can be strangled from time to time as a warning.
If it doesn't work anymore, it will be her own fault if she is kicked out.
"Okay, everyone in the village is bright-eyed. One day in the future, no one will say that your Li family is unkind."
The Li family has now opened half a private school, and naturally has the four treasures of the study. Li Lao Er I was a little angry and started writing the divorce letter with trembling hands.
Wu Cuihua was so frightened that she thought she would be fine with a beating, but she never expected that she would write a letter of divorce.
She almost crawled over and hugged Old Mrs. Li's thigh, crying until her nose and tears were covered in tears.
"Mom, please forgive me once and don't write a letter of divorce. I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Wow, even though I'm not good at anything, I still gave birth to two grandsons for the old Li family!"
Mrs. Li He was really chilling, so he pushed her away and said coldly.
"If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to two good grandsons for our old Li family, you would have been kicked out a long time ago. You are lazy, greedy, mean-mouthed, unfilial and rebellious, unkind and unloving. What do our Li family want you to do? Let go. Are your eyes dirty?"
Just as Li Laoer finished writing the divorce letter and handed it over, Mrs. Li took it in her hand and said again.
"From today on, Wu Cuihua, you are just half of the Li family. You must do your job, keep your mouth shut, and take care of your hands, otherwise you will be kicked out of the Li family at any time.
When the time comes, You deserve it, don't say I don't care about you!"
As she spoke, she put away the divorce letter.
Wu Cuihua sat in a pile on the ground, completely panicked.
Unfortunately, she still asked for mercy, but Mrs. Li called Li Laoer again.
"Although Wu Cuihua was spared the death penalty, she has caused such a big disaster and will not be able to escape. It's hard for others in the family to take action, so you should do it. Twenty boards, no less!"
Li Laoer also hated it, of course not Will show mercy.
He stepped forward and kicked Wu Cuihua over, pulled up the bench, and tied her up.
Wu Cuihua was frightened out of her mind. Li Laoer usually regarded himself as a scholar and rarely beat her.
She was really scared when it happened suddenly today.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu today, have mercy on me, I don't dare to do it anymore!"
Unfortunately, the board in Mr. Li's hand had already fallen.
With just one move, she screamed like a slaughtered pig.
It is said to be a board, but it is actually the carrying pole that the Li family uses daily. It is wide and heavy.
After only a dozen or so strokes, Wu Cuihua's buttocks oozed blood, and she cried as if she was about to die...
In the end, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru dragged her back to the room, washed her randomly, and sprinkled some of the usual wounds at home. medicine.
After such a commotion, the Li family had no intention of eating. They dealt with each other randomly and then rested.
Old Mrs. Li was sitting on the edge of the kang, holding the pipe and pot in her hand, quietly shedding tears.
In fact, she didn't smoke dry cigarettes originally. This was left after the old man passed away, and it also supported her thoughts.
"Old man, it's all useless to me. I didn't take care of this family well."
Jiayin couldn't bear to let the old lady be so sad. It's not worth it for others, but for Wu Cuihua, a wolf-hearted person.
She saved up her strength for a long time and wanted to turn over and crawl over to her grandma to make a warm little cotton-padded jacket.
Unfortunately, her strength was not in control and she was used in the wrong place, so there was a puff...
Old Mrs. Li was feeling sad. When she heard the movement and turned her head, she saw her granddaughter lying there, raising her neck, with a look on her face that she was about to cry.
There was something she didn't understand, so she hurriedly helped to clean it up while suppressing her laughter.
After changing the urine ring and washing the buttocks, both the grandfather and the grandson finally lay clean on the bed again.
Jiayin shyly hid her little face in her grandma's arms, not daring to lift it up.
Mrs. Li laughed hard and patted her granddaughter carefully.
"Okay, why is our little Fu Niu still shy? Grandma knows that little Fu Niu is a clean child. When she grows up, grandma will make you a beautiful dress, okay?"
Fu Niu tried her best to stick her head out, grinning and showing off her pink face. Two rows of tender little gums, and then a big red apple is thrown out from the space.
Mrs. Li was startled by the sudden appearance of apples on the pillow, but with the hot water bottle as a base, she felt much better this time.
She thought for a while, pulled off her handkerchief and wiped the apple clean, then bit into a piece and handed it to her granddaughter.
Sure enough, Jiayin immediately held it with both hands and put it into her mouth. She had no teeth and couldn't bite it, but she didn't delay sipping it.
Jiayin was so happy that she finally tasted apples again after four months. Woohoo, it was so delicious.
Old Mrs. Li laughed again at her granddaughter's small appearance, then quickly ate all the rest, and finally hugged her granddaughter with satisfaction.
"Grandma's lucky girl, you are only so old, and grandma enjoys all the blessings with you."
Jiayin actually rubbed off a small bit of the apple with her gums, and danced happily...
The sadness and anger during the day seemed to have disappeared. Holding this sweet apple, the grandfather and grandson devoured it, so all that was left in the dream was happiness and joy...
After Wu Cuihua was severely beaten, she became much more honest, and the injuries at the back only lasted five or six days. So he started to work lamely, and when he saw the old lady, he was like a mouse when he saw a cat.
She helps Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying with cooking and laundry every day, and she doesn't dare to be lazy any more.
The Li family would be better off without her interfering with it.
The weather is getting colder and colder. After a night of heavy snow, almost half of every household's house was buried.
