Chapter 31: Overboard


Qiao'er was teased by Du Wenxiu and ignored her for a long time, and Du Wenxiu also understood that she was thin-skinned when she was a girl, so she could stop in moderation.When Du Wenxiu wasn't joking, Qiao'er also came out for a walk, fed the chickens, and helped make pickles.On this day, the weather was good, Fang went back to the house to take a nap, and Du Wenxiu was busy with her pickles, preparing to pour the jar and send it to the town tomorrow.Qiao'er took a basin and filled the dirty clothes at home and went out to wash.In the river outside Peach Blossom Village, there are many women washing clothes there every day, gossiping and doing their work.Everyone in the village knew about Qiao'er's marriage, and when the women saw Qiao'er, they couldn't help but like to make jokes, Qiao'er was thin-skinned and didn't want to be with them, so she found a place where no one was.Listening to those women talking and laughing loudly from afar, the gossip in the village vaguely floated to the Liu family in the big mountain village, as if saying that the daughter of the Lu family had climbed a good family.Some people also had red eyes, saying that the mother and daughter, who were almost starving to death before, can now climb into the family affairs of the scholar's family.Qiao'er lowered her head, her face was slightly hot, thinking of the clean young man, and couldn't help but have some expectations in her heart.At this time, there was a rapid shout from the road: "What are you going to do?"

”Qiao'er hurriedly turned her head, the shadow in front of her flickered, and a strong push came, Qiao'er's body fell crookedly and fell into the turbulent river.The water in the river was so cold, Qiao'er fluttered her arms and opened her mouth to shout for help, but she ate several mouthfuls of cold water.The river overflowed her mouth and nose, and she couldn't breathe, choking on gasps, but she listened to more water.It was so uncomfortable that Qiao'er felt more and more dizzy, and many figures flashed in front of her, including her mother, sister-in-law, brother, and the clean young scholar, she felt that she was going to die.In a drowsy state, as if something was close to him, he grabbed him, Qiao'er climbed over with both hands, and his legs were twisted deadly.I don't want to die, I don't want to die Save me Gradually, she lost consciousness and her eyes went dark.When she opened her eyes again, Qiao'er saw the familiar roof of her house, and the Fang family sitting next to her who wiped her tears.Seeing Qiao'er wake up, Fang Shi hurriedly asked her how she was, and hurriedly went out to call Lu Fanghai and Du Wenxiu back.The two of them entered the house and saw Qiao'er leaning weakly on the head of the bed, with a quilt behind her back, and Du Wenxiu's eyes turned red for a moment."

This madwoman will definitely send her to the official."

Fang cursed in his mouth, and urged Du Wenxiu to stew an egg to make up for Qiao'er's body.After some hectic chaos, Qiao'er learned the truth of the matter.Aunt Lu next door came back from the field and saw Qiao'er squatting by the river washing clothes alone, looking like she was on her mind, and she didn't even notice when she approached.Listening to the gossip of the village women talking about Qiao'er's family affairs, Aunt Lu's heart couldn't help but be on fire: her own daughter is still missing, and it was the daughter-in-law of the Lu family who helped Yulan escape.When he stretched out his hand, he heard a man's shouting in his ears, and he was frightened, but he suddenly stepped forward and pushed Qiao'er down the river with great force, not daring to look closely, so he turned his head and ran.The man shouted twice, and when he saw that she didn't stop, but Qiao'er had been swept away by the river, he hurriedly took off his coat and jumped down.The women who were washing clothes nearby gathered around to help save people, and the man took off Qiao'er wrapped around his body, handed it to the village women, and left Peach Blossom Village only saying that he still had important things to do.The women used local methods to treat Qiao'er, and some people ran to inform the Lu family, and Lu Fanghai anxiously rushed over to carry Qiao'er home.Hearing the woman washing clothes by the river, she said that she saw Aunt Lu flashing by the river near Qiao'er, and heard the shouts of the man who rescued people, and the Lu family became suspicious.Fang's family couldn't be angry, and bluntly said that he couldn't be neighbors with this kind of family, so Lu Fanghai went to invite the village chief and asked him to give justice.To tell the truth, since the death of Lao Wantouer and Su Lan, Aunt Lu has become more and more undisciplined, and the people in Peach Blossom Village just understand that her life as an orphan and widow is not easy, and what is not really concerned with her.But she didn't know it, she was getting more and more perverse, she had a quarrel with this family today, and she quarreled with that family in the field tomorrow, and the people in the village were also bitter Aunt Lu for a long time.Now Qiao'er almost killed someone in this matter, the nature is too bad, and no one dares to speak for her anymore.The village chief was in charge and asked people to look for her whereabouts, and finally found her hiding with Xiaohu at Aunt Lu's mother's house.Aunt Lu's mother's family was originally from Peach Blossom Village, she was Lu Sangui's aunt, her mother's family did not dare to offend the village chief, and because of the fact that human life was involved, the villagers tied up Aunt Lu in front of them and reported to the official, and Xiaohu was left in the Lu family for her sister-in-law to take with her.Since she has reported to the official, it is not good to seek revenge in private, Lu Fanghai also suppressed his anger for the time being, and first saw how the yamen judged, if the sentence was light, he would definitely let her have a "good" result.A few days later, a villager who worked in the county came back and said that the evidence of Aunt Lu's murder was conclusive, and that she should have been sentenced to death, but this month was the birthday of the saint, and it was not good to see blood, so the sentence was changed to life imprisonment.The villagers don't understand where the county lord got the conclusive evidence, but Aunt Lu can be sentenced to a lifetime in prison, which is also a very happy thing, but pity Xiaohu who let him stand up to such a mother The sister-in-law of the Lu family Gu Shi heard the news, scolded and went to Aunt Lu's house, turned it upside down, Aunt Lu's land deed, and the compensation of Su Lan and Lao Wantou'er were all turned over, so he returned home satisfied, and promised Boss Lu to raise this harmful son.Xiaohu has lived a life of beating and scolding in the Lu family since then, and one day he couldn't stand it, stole some silver and ran away, and the Gu family only scolded a little white-eyed wolf born and raised by an old black heart all over the village, and Boss Lu was afraid of it, and he didn't dare to go against her, so he didn't look for it, so he let it go.Qiao'er raised it for a few days, and gradually recovered some vitality, only saying that she was tired of lying down, and got up to help do some light work.It's just that she needs to go out to do the work, but the family refuses to let her touch her hands.I thought that my mother and sister-in-law felt sorry for me, but I didn't doubt anything else.Until one day I found that there was a chicken missing from the chicken coop, and I inadvertently found outside, and when I walked next to someone's haystack, I heard two people gossiping on the other side of the haystack, and they actually talked about their own falling into the water."

Who said it wasn't, you and I have seen it, that day, Qiao'er's legs were wrapped around the man's waist, and it was hard to say whether the action was pushed into the water, or whether the rise of the play fell into the water."
