Chapter 20: break the news
"Look at my mouth, what are you talking about!"
Widow Sun shook her head again and again, slapped her face lightly with her hand, looked at Liu Shi, who looked like a scapegoat, and changed her tone, "It's not wishful thinking to change people, your family Qiu Ju is willing, maybe Qin Yuanwai doesn't like it !"
Qiu Ju's appearance and temperament are not as good as Li Haitang's in everything, and her figure is not satisfactory. Who is Qin Yuanwai, has money in her family, and has countless daughters, so she can't look down on an ordinary country girl.
Widow Sun's words gave Liu a head-on blow. She was worried about her daughter just now, but now her heart has completely cooled down.
"Fuck off, it's not up to you, Kefu's funeral star, to get involved in the family affairs of our old Li's family!"
Mrs. Li was completely enraged. She couldn't afford to offend Qin Yuanwai, an official servant, or a widow? She looked at the bottom of the wall, picked up the broom for sweeping the yard, and greeted Widow Sun, "Get out, get out!"
Widow Sun was unable to dodge in time, and was hit twice on her body, which made her grin her teeth in pain, but she was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Folks, come and see, the old lady of the Li family has spoiled outsiders!"
"Bitch, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
Originally, she was holding back a little bit of anger, but now Mrs. Li completely broke out, and stared blankly at Mrs. Liu, "Why don't you hurry up and help!"
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she quickly realized that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chasing after the widow grandson who was running ahead.
"Li Haitang escaped from marriage, and the old lady of the Li family sold her granddaughter. If she can't make up the money this time, she will be imprisoned!"
Widow Sun shouted while running, and broke the news by the way, "Li Haitang fell in love with our family's Sun Xing, and the two almost eloped, but my son couldn't bear me..."
Anyway, Sun Xing was a man, married again, and didn't care about his reputation at all. Widow Sun was more sympathetic to Li Haitang, so she didn't tell anyone.
Widow Sun's voice was too loud, and when the trouble broke out in the Li family, everyone in the village paid attention to it. In a few breaths, it spread throughout the Li family village. It turned out that there was something between Li Haitang and Sun Xing.
For an unmarried girl who has the guts to elope with someone, whether it's true or not, her reputation is completely ruined.
…
As the sun sets, the sky is surrounded by a faint smoky purple, the wind in the mountains is cool, mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, and there is a hint of chill.
Li Haitang walked around the mountains and gained a lot. She wove a small basket out of branches, with a thick layer of leaves underneath, and put all the harvest of the day in the basket.
Apart from herbs, Li Haitang also picked some wild fruits, including hawthorn, but it was too sour and appetizing, she just tasted it.
In addition, there are a lot of walnuts and wild chestnuts on the mountain. During the harvest season, the products are abundant. It seems that she can set up a fire to burn chestnuts at night, and she can deal with it all night.
The mountain was humid and there were many ants and mosquitoes. Li Haitang found a dry stone platform. Behind the stone platform was a tall pine tree. She thought it would be safer to nest on the branch of the tree at night, otherwise she would meet a wild beast. I was afraid that it would be too late to escape.
If he ran away from marriage, the Li family must have panicked and delayed the auspicious time, so they had no way to explain to the Qin family, maybe they were struggling right now.
But what does that have to do with her! It doesn't make sense for her to sacrifice herself to fulfill the big family of wolves, tigers and leopards, just because she has no parents, so people can bully her and her little brother?
Li Haitang was very disappointed. Everyone said that the ancient times cared about the clan the most. Since she was sold, no one spoke up for her, and most of the villagers were watching the fun.
