Chapter 13: Cleverly Fighting the Two Brothers

~8 min read 1,415 words

Watching her mother get angry and unable to speak, Jiang Li's tears were also spinning in her eye sockets.

Jiang Fu was obviously somewhat smug. As long as he pressed the word "filial piety" on the other party, he would be invincible.

After a long time, Liu Yu slowly opened her mouth: "I understand the meaning of Big Brother and Second Brother, but this money is indeed not pension money, it was brought home by Little Ten."

Jiang Fu seemed to have heard some heaven-defying joke and shouted loudly at the crowd.

"I didn't expect sister-in-law to lie without using her brain. Little Ten is my nephew, but who in ten miles doesn't know he is lazy and loves to gamble? What does he have to earn money? Go to the city to be a gigolo for others?"

Jiang Gui was somewhat unhappy and said to Jiang Fu: "Big Brother, how can you say that? Little Ten can't be a gigolo! After all, his appearance is a bit poor, how can others take a fancy to him!"

After speaking, the two laughed up to the sky. Between singing and harmonizing, they were not only insulting Jiang Jinshi's family but also implying that this money was the third brother's pension money.

Watching the two singing a duet in front of her and trampling on her son like this, Mother Liu was angered to the heart and fell backward without standing firm.

Fortunately, Jiang Cai wasn't far away, and he was quick to support Liu Yu, which prevented her from falling to the ground.

At the same time, Li Xinyue finally arrived at the entrance of Da Jiang Cun. Just as she was about to walk toward Li Changjiu's house, someone spoke to her from the side.

"Zhaodi? Isn't today the day you get married? Why are you still here?"

Originally, Li Xinyue didn't react. After all, she wasn't Li Zhaodi, but there was no one else around, so she reacted that the other party was talking to her.

"Aunt! What did you say?"

The aunt holding a wooden bucket, immediately with clothes just washed, immediately said to "Li Zhaodi."

"My family's man is still at Jiang Jinshi's door! You are married to him!"

After speaking, looking at "Li Zhaodi" full of confusion, the aunt very "kindly" explained the process of the matter.

Li Xinyue, who originally planned to take revenge on Li Changjiu's family, was completely stunned.

Ah?

Just sold me like this?

I'm getting married, but I'm actually the last one to know?

Good, good, good! I'll settle this account with you later, Grandma.

The most important thing now is to stop all this. She didn't want to marry someone she didn't like, so she ran toward Jiang Jinshi's house.

Although "Li Zhaodi" in her memory had never been to the city, she had lived in the village for these eighteen years, so she wouldn't walk the wrong way even with her eyes closed.

The aunt looked at "Li Zhaodi's" running back and held the wooden bucket with emotion.

"New marriage is really good! Look at how happy this girl is."

Jiang Fu watched Jiang Cai support Liu Yu, as if he had caught the pigtails of the two, and shouted even more exaggeratedly.

"Good! We still recognize you as a sister-in-law, but you don't even hide what you do now?"

The villagers who were eating melons heard this, and many frowned. It was clear at a glance that this was just normal support, but once these words came out, it was like forcing Liu Yu to death!

But the so-called honest official is hard to break family affairs, and the village head was still on the scene, so it wasn't the turn of the crowd to speak.

Clearly, the village head was somewhat unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called rice can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken indiscriminately. Don't nag about things that don't exist!"

After all, this matter wasn't small. The Jiang surname clan in Da Jiang Cun occupied at least half, and if it spread out, the whole Da Jiang Cun would become a joke in ten miles, then what face would he, the village head, have.

Jiang Fu heard the village head say this, and his arrogance was suppressed all at once, shrinking his head somewhat mockingly.

On the contrary, Jiang Gui wouldn't let it go, stiffening his neck and saying.

"Even if you don't know what happened behind your back, you can see it in front of everyone!"

The village head looked at Jiang Gui with deep meaning, the dissatisfaction in his eyes flashed away, but he took a step back, indicating that he would no longer intervene in this matter.

Seeing that the village head didn't speak anymore, the Jiang Fu and Jiang Gui brothers were even more arrogant, saying to the crowd as if it were true.

"My third brother left early, and we have taken care of our nephew's family a lot on weekdays, but sister-in-law's behavior is really chilling!"

Jiang Cai was originally an honest farmer, and being splashed with dirty water made him angry but didn't know how to fight back, so he could only explain stammeringly.

"Everyone... everyone don't listen to their... nonsense, we are innocent."

Jiang Gui raised his eyebrows: "If you aren't guilty, why are you so nervous? You even stutter when you speak!"

Jiang Fu also said relentlessly: "I said why sister-in-law doesn't take her parents-in-law to heart! I'm afraid she went to honor others?!"

At this moment, Liu Yu was already dumb and eating coptis, unable to speak, only hating that her mouth wasn't as sharp.

Jiang Li's small face had long been wet with tears, looking forward to someone standing up to speak for them, but looking around, even the village head grandfather was silent, so who else could help them?

Jiang Li closed her eyes beside her mother, tears falling drop by drop, which made the surrounding villagers somewhat unbearable.

"It's really a long time to see! Two big men bullying orphans and widows, really don't want their faces."

Once these words came out, it was like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating Jiang Li. Jiang Li looked for the sound, but she couldn't imagine it would be her.

Li Xinyue had arrived at Jiang Jinshi's door for a while, and also knew the process of the matter from the crowd. Looking at the appearance of Jiang Fu and Jiang Gui, it was really disgusting.

Thinking of meeting Jiang Jinshi at the foot of the mountain before, Li Xinyue thought the other party shouldn't be a difficult person to talk to, so she spoke to help him, and it would be convenient to talk to him about her marriage with him later.

Li Xinyue's opening naturally attracted everyone's attention. Jiang Fu snorted and said.

"Isn't what we said the truth?"

Li Xinyue walked forward slowly, supporting Mother Liu, and blocking Jiang Li behind her.

"Truth? I'd like to hear what the truth is!"

Jiang Fu was confident that dealing with a little girl wasn't a problem, hugging his arms and saying: "Everyone saw this matter, Jiang Cai and her were pulling and dragging."

Li Xinyue didn't need to think to deal with such words, and even intended to pull these onlookers into the field.

"Fortunately, everyone saw it, otherwise such a good thing as neighbors helping would become pulling and dragging in your mouth."

Jiang Fu was relentless: "Neighbors helping? Who would be so kind without any benefits? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Oh! I remember this matter. When I went to line up to fetch water by the river last week, your wife and two uncles were chatting very happily. I haven't seen her smile like this at you."

"According to your statement, the aunt also has some problems! How long have you been out? Why don't you go back and see!"

Jiang Fu responded with a black face: "What are you talking about without any evidence?"

Li Xinyue pretended to cover her mouth exaggeratedly, full of self-blame: "Alas! Why can't I control my mouth and just say the 'truth' I saw."

"But in the past, when Uncle Li ran the donkey cart in the village, many aunts took free donkey carts. According to your statement, I'm afraid many are involved! After all, there is no mutual help between neighbors, I'm afraid it's not clean privately." ===== CHAPTER 14 =====
