Chapter 108 Congratulations [please vote]
"Sorry, it's not going my way. You might as well wait and take another bus."
Not to mention that the car was still carrying bricks, even if there were no bricks, Shang Wan was not prepared to give the two of them a ride.
After saying that, she didn't care how the two of them reacted, and drove away, leaving her grandfather and grandson to stare at the oxcart in a daze for a while.
Just leave like that?
On the dirt road, yellow sand is flying, and the sunlight diagonally above is a little dazzling.
Shang Wan lowered the hat to protect him from the sun, and his mind kept flashing back to the costumes, movements and expressions of the grandfather and grandson just now.
Two women, one old and one young, came to visit relatives. When they didn't know the way, the best choice was to rent a car instead of stopping a car randomly on the road and asking people. After all, who knows whether this person is good or bad?
Furthermore, judging from their attire, they don’t look like people who can’t afford to rent a car.
Her bullock cart pulled a load of bricks, and there was no gap at all. The front position was so narrow that the old lady's body could not accommodate three people. No one with any sense would ask for a ride.
She can't come down and be the driver for the two of them, right?
Shang Wan expanded her hearing range to the maximum, and was a little curious about how the grandfather and grandson would react after she drove away in the car.
Well...basically the old woman was talking, and the girl was just answering.
Hmm... Complain, scold her, complain, complain, scold her, still complain... Oh, I heard something useful.
This pair of unfamiliar grandparents turned out to be relatives of the Lin family. From what they heard, they should be Liu's natal family.
It turned out that the two of them did not rent a car because Mrs. Liu agreed to use a donkey cart to pick them up. However, they could not wait for anyone in the county town, and the old woman was unwilling to pay for a car, so the two of them had to ask for directions and walk on their legs. coming.
It was okay to take the official road, but the dirt road here was rather winding. The two of them couldn't remember how to go. They were both tired, so they stopped to rest and wait to ask passers-by.
Shang Wan secretly clicked his tongue. Helping others is a matter of affection, but not helping others is a duty. So who will be kidnapped by morality?
Don’t pick wild flowers on the roadside, and don’t help people on the roadside casually. Who knows whether you are helping people or ghosts.
Shang Wan slowly returned to the village, humming a tuneless tune.
"Xiu Cainiang, are you going to pull bricks again?"
"Yes." Shang Wan said briefly, "Auntie just came back from washing clothes by the river?"
"Yes, it was very lively by the river just now. I'm afraid your family is about to have a happy event." The aunt said, "I hurried back to hang the clothes, so I have time to visit the house."
After saying that, he hurried away.
A question popped up in Shang Wan's head, what happy event is coming?
She drove the bullock cart around the corner, and not long after walking, Aunt Gui, the widowed daughter-in-law of the Gao family, came towards her, with a smile on her face and an uncontrollable joy all over her body.
"Oh, scholar lady, I was about to go to your house to find you, but we met by chance. It is also the fate of our two families." Aunt Gui stepped forward quickly, "I, I want to congratulate scholar lady first."
Shang Wan was confused: "Where does this joy come from?"
Why do everyone congratulate her?
"Of course it's the marriage between your sister and my Gao Qi." Aunt Gui said in a loud voice, wishing that the whole village would know, "The two children know each other, and they have a physical relationship. I’m preparing to go to your house to propose marriage.”
Gao Qi and Xiao Huan? !
What a ghost story! ! !
Shang Wan's face suddenly darkened, and his voice was as cold as ice, "My daughter's family name is important, aunt, please don't talk nonsense. Next time I hear someone making fun of my sister's reputation, don't blame me for turning against them!"
"Why are you talking? Who's kidding?"
Seeing that Shang Wan refused to acknowledge her, the joy on Aunt Gui's face faded, and she shouted: "Everyone looked at her really well by the river. That girl's name is Xiaohuan, right? She was flirting with my Qi'er, in public, all the time. If you stick it to my son, he will be dragged into the reed swamp! How can you get a good reputation even if you say this?"
Shang Wan frowned.
"That means my son has fallen in love with Xiao Huan. Otherwise, my family wouldn't want such a shameless coquettish girl——"
"Pah!" Shang Wan raised his hand and slapped her three times, so much that Aunt Gui didn't even react.
She said coldly: "Since Auntie can't remember, I'll help you remember it better!" The pain was slowly conveyed, Aunt Gui raised her hand to touch her swollen and sore cheek, suddenly screamed, and grabbed Shang Wan regardless. Come.
"Ah! I'll beat you to death, you little bitch!"
"The whole family is filthy!"
"Slutty vixen!"
Shang Wan grabbed her hands, raised his hand and slapped her twice, making Aunt Gui dizzy.
"Keep scolding and see if it hurts your face or my hands."
"Let go! It's a murder! Everyone, come out and take a look! Help!" Aunt Gui struggled with her eyes red and opened her mouth to spit at Shang Wan's face.
Shang Wan, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her chin and tilted it back, letting her swallow it on her own.
"You shout one more word and I will pull out your tongue."
Shang Wan stared into Aunt Gui's eyes. The evil aura around her body seemed to be real, but her tone was very calm, as if pulling out someone's tongue was an ordinary and trivial matter.
As if a big invisible hand was pinching her neck, Aunt Gui suppressed her blush. After all, she was so overwhelmed by Shang Wan's momentum that she didn't utter a single word.
She was afraid that the woman in front of her who would do anything at her word would really pull out her tongue.
Shang Wan didn't have time to quarrel with her, so when he saw that she was being honest, he let go of his hand, pushed her out, and drove the bullock cart home.
When the villagers were attracted by Aunt Gui's shout just now, they only saw Aunt Gui sitting on the ground sobbing, her face swollen like a peach and bloodshot.
"Gao family, what's wrong with you?"
"Who hit me?"
…
As soon as Shang Wan arrived home, he found that the atmosphere at home was not right.
She glanced around and didn't see Xiaohuan, so she jumped out of the bullock cart and asked urgently: "Where is Xiaohuan?"
Shitou pointed to the shed and said, "I'm changing clothes inside."
Shang Wan listened carefully and didn't hear any strange noises in the shed.
She was slightly relieved and looked around at everyone, her eyes falling on the sullen Lu Chengjing, "What's going on? Why did Xiaohuan get involved with that scoundrel Gao Qi?"
Just as Lu Chengjing opened his mouth, but before the words came out, Xiaohuan changed her clothes and came out, looking quite energetic.
Lu Chengjing didn't need to say anything, she said it as if she was pouring the beans herself.
"That bastard wanted to tease me, but I beat him up. Then he grabbed me and wanted to take advantage of me. He yelled that I had been with him for a long time, and I didn't know how many times we rolled in the reed swamp, forcing me to be His wife. Many people in the village saw her."
Xiaohuan gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "If I had known, I would have put the kitchen knife on and chopped up his thing! I would not have kept it to harm others!"
Once he heard that Xiaohuan didn't suffer any loss, Shang Wan felt relieved.
She asked: "Where are the Gaoqi people?"
"Over there." Shitou pointed to the bush where he dug a hole to bury the cow and sheep dung. "He chased Xiaohuan relentlessly. His left leg was bitten by Xiaohui who rushed towards him, and his brother-in-law was hit in his right leg. With one arrow, Brother Gao and Brother Ma teamed up to tie him up. "
Shang Wan: No wonder she heard something moving behind the bushes.
