[001] no money
The air in Peijia Village in summer is filled with a hint of desolation, and the screams of women come not far away.
"Listen, the woman in the youngest house is scolding her. Sooner or later, the eldest girl will be killed by her. Unfortunately, our family won't pick it up, otherwise I will adopt the eldest girl."
"You are standing and talking without a headache. Do you think you want to adopt it? The old woman in the Yaofang family is not a good person. She will definitely sell Qi'er to you."
Several sisters-in-law of the Pei family in the field gossip about the ruins of the Pei family's youngest house.
"The money-losing guy, your mother is dead, why don't you die with me? Don't you see when it's time? Why don't you get up and cook for me soon? I'm almost starving to death." Pei Su, the old woman in the Pei family, kept slapping the door of the confined room with her hands.
"Old woman, why are you howling? That little girl was sent out by me to cut pig grass early in the morning."
Pei's daughter-in-law Luo, carrying a plate of melon seeds bought from the town, walked out of the house.
Su glanced at her coldly and entered the kitchen without saying a word.
"Mom, what is that crazy woman howling? I was shocked by my dreams." Luo's daughter Pei Qiao said yawningly.
"You're asking that little girl to get up and cook, daughter, come in quickly. I went to your grandfather's house yesterday and got a lot of snacks." Luo stopped and hooked her hands at Pei Qiao.
"Not good, no good, save people quickly. Someone jumped into the river."
There were sounds of gongs ringing in the village.
Luo looked at the villagers who ran out of their home disdainfully, thinking that the matter was not related, he closed the yard gate.
"Mom, should we go out and have a look? Dad said before that the sound of gongs ringing in the village must be a big deal. If he knows, we will be in trouble." Pei Qiao took the Luo family's plate and said.
"What are you looking at? You don't mind the family has been in trouble recently. Your father will come back tomorrow to discuss with him and sell that little girl." Luo said with a pout.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong!" The gate of the courtyard was knocked heavily.
Luo looked at the sky, thinking that Pei Qi was lazy and went there to play. He just picked up the broom from the corner of the wall and opened the yard door suddenly, "Damn girl, I told you to be lazy and you don't look at the sky. What time is this?"
Before the visitor could come back to his senses, he was beaten by Luo.
The visitor touched the hand that was beaten by Luo's family and said, "Luo, you sent that door crazy, I'm here to report the message! The big girl has jumped into the river. Now that people are not awake, please bring a letter to your boss soon. I'm afraid he won't see the big girl for the last time."
"What? What does it mean?" Luo then came back to his senses and looked at the person coming.
"What does it mean? It's literal! I won't bother you today. If you beat my man, you won't give him an egg to make up for it, otherwise... or..." Lin, the wife of the visitor, shouted in a voice.
"My wife is not a big deal! We have reported it to you, believe it or not, and our family does not owe the big girl from beginning to end. After leaving, the baby is still waiting at home." The visitor pulled the corner of his wife's clothes.
"You are just a good old man!" Lin glanced coldly at Luo and followed his man home.
The couple's back, which gradually faded away, disappeared from Luo's sight.
Luo stomped his feet in anger, and shouted to the kitchen at the top of his throat, "Old woman, your eldest granddaughter has gone to the lake, do you want to go and have a look?"
Su had just eaten the leftovers of yesterday in the kitchen, and felt unhappy, "If you die, die! The family is already full of people. If you go and see, if you really die, you can just find someone to wrap it back in straw mat."
"Mom, what does an old woman mean? That little girl..."
Pei Qiao felt a little confused. Although she had been pampering since she was a child, Pei Qi was really dead, and the heavy and dirty work in the family fell heavily on her shoulders.
"You should stay at home honestly, I'll go and have a look." Luo started to murmur.
"Mom, I want to go and have a look, so as not to make people lose their mouths."
Pei Qiao said it better than she sang.
Pei Qiao was the flesh that fell from Luo's body. What she thought about? She didn't know at that time. She patted Pei Qiao with her hand, "Just go there and watch it, don't talk nonsense."
"I understand! I promise I won't say anything." Pei Qiao deliberately covered her mouth with her hands.
Good things don’t pass through, bad things go through a thousand miles away. Pei Qi’s grandmother learned that Pei Qi had been thrown into the lake and brought several aunts to the door.
My aunts and others were all focused on the problem of Luo's family. Unfortunately, they were scolded by Luo's few times. Today, the time, place and people were in harmony. Several of them took their mother-in-law's hand and said, "Mother-in-law, we must make a good deal this time, and don't waste it."
"Why should I say how are you doing? Now Pei Qi's life and death are uncertain. You aunts are just thinking about making a fortune from her..." Grandma trembled in anger.
"Mother-in-law, why are you talking unpleasant? You always touch your conscience and say, when my sister-in-law is sick, have we paid for her to treat her? When she was bullied by her mother-in-law, did we both have my sister-in-law stand up for her? But we think that if we don't get some money back today, how can we be worthy of our men and children who want to eat?" The spokesperson was Wang, the grandmother's eldest daughter-in-law.
Wang was born with a loud voice and had nothing in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak tactfully and offended many people in the village.
"Yes, my sister-in-law is right!" said the second wife, Liu, whispering.
"Sisters-in-law, don't say anything. If my mother-in-law gets sick when she gets angry, she will pay money to ask the doctor to serve her." The youngest daughter-in-law Zhou said.
"Yes, yes, let's stop talking! Let my mother-in-law take a breath."
Wang walked to his grandmother and said, "Mother-in-law, don't blame us! You also know that we are saying this, but there is really nothing in our hearts-in-law! I don't know if my son-in-law has received the letter."
"Oh, the grandmother of the big girl is here! It's really rare. It's been a long time since you met, but the big girl has gone west..." The aunt from Pei Qi's house next door spoke.
"What? Xie, what did you say? You said Qi'er is dead? Why is this happening?" Wang said with his mouth wide open.
Grandma was so shocked that she took a few steps back.
"Hurry, hurry up, Zhou, please help your mother-in-law, I'll go and take a look with Liu."
Wang took Liu and ran wildly.
"Sister-in-law, Qi'er has left. Why are you running so fast? Could it be that you are still the reincarnation of the Daluo God, and you can rob her of the King of Hell?" Liu shook Wang's hand hard and gasped heavily.
Wang glanced coldly at Liu, who was sitting on the big stone, "You sit here for a while, I'll go and take a look first."
"Sister-in-law, I really don't know why you did this? You said you were the eldest daughter-in-law, but unfortunately you have been married for more than ten years and have not laid any eggs." Liu relied on his own to give birth to his husband's family and sneered at Wang from time to time.
"Liu, I don't care about you usually, which means I'm generous. However, you said too much today. After dealing with Qi'er's affairs, we will divide the family. As for the issue of mother-in-law's support, let them discuss it carefully at that time." Wang had long disliked Liu. How could she not grasp such a good opportunity today?
Liu knew that the family's daily expenses were paid by a large house, and now the big house wants to split the family, so he felt so painful.
Mrs. Wang turned around and left until she finished speaking.
Pei family.
Pei Qi's body had been taken from the river and sent to the Pei family's yard.
Luo said to Su with a cold face, "Old woman, I don't have the money to organize the funeral for her."
"You don't have money? My son will hand over the money to you as much as possible after paying his monthly wages. Now you say there is no money? Are you using your son's wages to supplement your parents' home?" Su is not a good man. When he heard that there was no money, he walked up to Luo and shouted.
"I said it would be gone if there is no money! Could it be that you still want to search your body?" Luo said with his waist crossed.
"Enough! Enough! The big girl has become like this. Your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still have the face to make noise! Mrs. Luo, have you asked someone to bring a message to your family to come back?" Li Zheng asked.
"Li Zheng, you don't know that my family only comes back once a month. To be honest, I don't know what he is doing outside? You see, it's not easy for me to be at home. I have to take care of his mother and serve the animals at home." Luo tried hard to squeeze out a few tears.
"Hey... it seems that someone in the village works with your family, let's wait." Li sighed.
"Isn't it just a girl who died at home. I just asked someone to dig a hole and wrap it in with a straw mat." Su said without any surprise.
As soon as Su's words fell, Wang, who stepped into the door, said sternly, "Grandma, you are like this... Could it be that you are not afraid that you will not even have a straw mat when you return to the west?"
"It's not your turn to be a person like you to make trouble for us." Su said.
"Outsider? The one who is lying underground is my sister-in-law's daughter. You... you are just a wolf-hearted person." Wang's anger couldn't be rushed to the same place.
"Love daughter? But in our Pei family, it's just a useless money-losing guy. If you think she is pitiful, you can carry her back. If you don't have the ability, then don't stand here and chatter, which will make people upset." Su looked unhappy.
"It's just a money-losing guy. Li Zheng, please find a gentleman Yin and Yang to watch her life, the faster the better." Luo Shi spread his hands at Su Shi.
"I don't have any money." Su clung his pocket firmly.
"Mother-in-law, don't pretend. You think I don't know how much money you have. I advise you to take a few coins to let Pei Qi be buried in peace, otherwise she will come to you tonight." Luo Shi pouted.
Pei Qiao, who was standing aside, said in a soft voice, "Mom, don't there be hundreds of coins in the bag on your bed?"
Mrs. Luo glared at him, "Qiao'er, you've read it wrong. Where can I get copper coins here?"
Luo never expected that his daughter would sneak into the house and take a bag full of copper coins hidden at the foot of the bed.
When Su took a look, he snatched it over. When he opened it, he found that there were seven or eight hundred coins in copper coins. "You stinky woman, you dare to lie to me and say you have no money, so what are these?"
