MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 3

Anjia Village was not far from the river, and a red figure on the bank jumped into the turbulent river without hesitation.

The river water covered his nose and mouth, and Lu Gu didn't even have the idea of ​​struggling. He was torn by the swirling rapids despite the river water filling his head.

His eyes were blurred, and the wedding dress was a bit more cumbersome and heavier than the summer clothes he often wore. After sinking into the water, the fabric became heavy when it absorbed water, making his light and helpless soul return to its place, hanging in the air, not knowing where to go. His heart gradually sank.

If you die, you don't need to be beaten anymore.

He thought calmly, his body floated down the river, he gradually stopped thinking about things, but in the end, he had a pity idea, unfortunately he died without even a thin coffin, his stepmother would not give him Pay for a coffin.

—

The people in the yard were still fighting, and Bao Zhiru was so angry that he yelled: "Stop it, stop it for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone calling Lu Gu jumping into the river outside, and Bao Zhiru said quickly, "Don't hurry up and save people."

Life was at stake, and the fighters stopped. Du Hehua got up from the ground and spat blood at Wei Lanxiang's feet. Half of her cheeks were swollen, and she was still swearing vaguely. She was covered in dirt, but no one else was much better in the chaos.

Before Wei Lanxiang could let out her anger, she was slapped again, and kicked her with her foot. Unfortunately, Du Hehua avoided it.

Bao Zhiru was about to go out with the people when he turned around and shouted, "I'll be beaten and scolded!"

Du Hehua originally wanted to take another sip, but she had to swallow it back.

Listening to a group of people outside running towards the river, because it was Shuang'er who fell into the water, the men from Qingxi Village did not go over to join in the fun.

It stands to reason that Du Hehua would have to go to see if others didn't go, but she didn't, instead she sat aside with her messy hair tucked up.

Lu Daxiang didn't even go, he covered his waist and rib and hissed and inhaled, feeling that the pain was unbearable everywhere. He grinned and glanced at Shen Xuanqing, don't think that he didn't know, that this son of a **** had the most black hand, and even picked him up to beat him. He was swearing in his heart, but he didn't dare to swear out loud.

There was always some firewood piled up in the yard of the farmer's house. Ji Qiuyue helped Wei Lanxiang and two other aunts to sit on the pile of firewood to rest and tidy up.

Shen Yan, who was guarded by them after the fight, was obviously frightened. The wooden stick in her hand fell to the ground with a bang. During the melee, she kept crying and calling her mother, but she even took the opportunity to beat Du Hehua a few times.

But now, Shen Yan's wide-open apricot eyes are obviously a bit fearful. She is the youngest in the family, and she is usually well-behaved. Even Ji Qiuyue pinches her round face to tease her when she has nothing to do. It can be said that she is favored. Never seen such a battle at all.

Ji Qiuyue was a little frightened when she saw that her sister-in-law had regained her senses, so she patted Shen Yan's arm to comfort her, her mouth kept on, she looked at Du Hehua and said sarcastically, "People say that Lu Wen is well-bred, but Lu Gu can't. The strange way is, it's not a mother-in-law, and she's anxious to see her stepmother after jumping into the river. It turns out that the good things are all pretending to be good on weekdays, but behind the scenes is a black heart."

Before marrying the Lu family, it was not that they had not inquired about the Lu family, and they knew about Lu Gu, but they had never seen Lu Gu when they came to the Lu family a few times. If they occasionally asked, Du Hehua said that they had gone to his uncle's house to play. I didn't take it to heart, because in Anjia Village, when others mentioned Du Hehua, they said she was good to Lu Gu. As for the occasional beatings and scoldings, who in the village doesn't beat children?

Besides, every time Du Hehua hit Lu Gu, if someone saw and heard him, they would say that Lu Gu broke the bowl or made other mistakes. She was in a hurry to move her hand.

A farmer is no better than a family in a town or county. No matter dishes or other things, they are all belongings. There are few things that can be ruined.

Before today, the Shen family thought that the Lu family was good, but they never thought it would be like this.

Let alone the river.

There was no one in the turbulent section, but going downstream, there were people washing clothes in several places in the gentle place, and the red color in the water could not be more conspicuous.

In addition, there were shouts from Anjia Village, saying that someone had jumped into the river. Soon, Lu Gu was rescued from the river by two Shuang'er who knew water. He choked on the water. Fortunately, he was rescued in time. No worries about life.

A laundry girl picked up the washed red embroidered shoes from downstream and brought them over.

There were a lot of people surrounded by the shore. Lu Gu was wearing a red shirt that was wet and dripping with water. Fortunately, the clothes were in good condition, and he was not looked at by the few people who were looking straight at him.

"Why are you shaking like this?" Lu Gu's body was cold, and even Shuang'er who rescued him was puzzled. It was obviously summer, and the sun had not yet set, so even if it fell into the water, it wouldn't freeze.

As soon as he touched his forehead and hands, it was really cold, so several people hurriedly shouted: "Come back and make a fire and change clothes."

The gate of Lu's courtyard was open, and the people from Qingxi Village were still inside. Du Hehua and Lu Daxiang wanted to chase them away, but they couldn't fight them for a while, so they had to endure it.

And when the seven or eight Shuanger girls brought Lu Gu back and put down the people in the courtyard, they kept talking about changing Lu Gu's clothes quickly. Du Hehua rolled her eyes and cried with a swollen half of her face, "There is nothing left at home. All of his clothes were given to him as a dowry, where can I find it now?"

"Either they said they were bullying people, or if they didn't take advantage of our Lu Gu and didn't admit it, how could he jump into the river?"

"You fart, it's obviously because you don't accumulate virtue in your mouth, and even your own family is framed, and you say that he has no innocence for no reason. It's clear that you want to kill him." Wei Lanxiang sat down without getting up, but picked it up from the ground. A piece of wood smashed towards the door of Du Hehua's face.

Ji Qiuyue also said: "Yes, no outsiders dare to say such things. Your family is different from others. You can slander others' innocence with empty words, and you just force the good-looking twins to this point."

Lu Gu's face was pale, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, his pale lips moved, but in the end he didn't even make a slight sound.

Du Hehua's words made a girl unable to listen, and said, "Auntie, we don't understand and ignore what you say. You see Lu Gu's face is so pale, if he doesn't change into clean clothes, he is afraid he will get sick. already."

"Yes, auntie, no matter who's clothes are in the family, you can just find him and put them on." The others agreed.

This group of Shuang'er girls are all young, their speech is clear and fast, and they are surrounded by their family members. Du Hehua is not easy to have a seizure, so she can only hold her nose and say, "The door of the firewood house is open."

"How can someone lie in the firewood room?" someone said casually.

Du Hehua was dissatisfied and said, "Why can't he lie down, he is so wet, who will wash the dirty bedding when he is carried into the room?"

In normal times, she might still wear a dress, after all, she can get a good reputation, but today, the Shen family made such a fuss, she would have lost her face and reputation, plus she was beaten and her heart was full of fire, and she was angry with Lu Gu. Not pleasing to the eye, not getting angry and venting are all good.

So, except for Lu Gu, everyone looked at Lu Daxiang. When they were stared at, Lu Daxiang said impatiently, "It's alright, let's help you in first."

This was the case with my own father, and no one else said anything, so he helped Lu Gu, who was trembling all over, into the firewood room.

Seeing this, Bao Zhiru waved to the men in the courtyard who came back, and motioned for them to come out. The men from Anjia Village and Qingxi Village followed, even Lu Daxiang, but no one had any objection.

Shen Xuanqing fell behind, and after all the men came out, he kept silent and closed the courtyard door from the outside.

There were no windows in the firewood room, and the door was tattered, but it could be closed anyway, and two people were standing in the door, and the holes were blocked.

Ji Qiuyue was sitting on the wood next to the firewood room when she suddenly heard a few exclamations from the firewood room.

"How could it be beaten like this?"

When she heard this, she thought that it could only be the black-hearted Lu family.

The wet clothes were taken off, but Du Hehua never came to bring the clean clothes. A couple in the firewood room looked out of the hole in the door and found that there were no men in the courtyard, so they carefully opened the door and asked.

"What's the hurry, I can't die." Du Hehua said impatiently, and then walked into the house.

"This aunt." Shuang'er who asked the question was also not happy, and muttered.

Seeing that the door of the firewood house was opened, there was nothing taboo between Shuang'er and the girl. Ji Qiuyue went in together.

The wet clothes that he took off were placed next to him, and Lu Gu was barely wrapped in the other pair's jacket. Because it was summer, no one would wear more clothes, so even if the person in the woodshed wanted to take off his clothes to cover him, Can't.

The exposed arms and legs were covered with large bruises, and the severe areas turned purple-black. Lu Gu was curled up, and with a slight movement, his waist and back were exposed. The bruise marks on his waist clearly told everyone that his back was also covered in bruises. It is a wound.

He was already thin, but he was beaten like this. When he was beaten, he didn't have much flesh on his body to block his bones. Whoever saw it would be pitiful.

Ji Qiuyue didn't have much affection for Lu Gu at first. She felt that the Lu family members were not good things, so she teamed up to deceive them. Now, it seems that Lu Gu is not so bad. It seems that the injury of this body was only suffered not long ago. Maybe it was because he was afraid of being beaten by the Lu family that he agreed to marry instead.

Even though he knew that the people in the firewood house were kind, Lu Gu felt embarrassed to be watched, and he curled up as much as he could while hugging his legs.

Du Hehua threw in a tattered dress. After resting for a while, Lu Gu regained a little warmth on his body, no longer so cold, and his strength returned. He could get dressed himself, and the others went out and brought him with him. On the firewood door.

Ji Qiuyue whispered what she saw to Wei Lanxiang. Wei Lanxiang just nodded and didn't say much. The Lu family couldn't afford it.

Outside the yard, a young man from Anjia Village said a few words to Shen Xuanqing. He nodded, saying that he understood, and then thanked him. Anjia Village and Qingxi Village are not too close, but it doesn't prevent him from getting to know a few people here. Although the relationship is normal, they can exchange news.

It turned out that Lu Wen had contacts with the son of the Li family in the town, and was even seen to have the Li family's maid deliver him something. The Li family is a wealthy and wealthy family, and further up, Li Yuanwai in the county town is their own family and has a good relationship with the county magistrate.

Du Hehua refused to pay back the money, and looked like she had swallowed it up. It was because of this reliance.

There were quarrels, fights, and fights. Since this marriage couldn't be concluded, Shen Xuanqing and Wei Lanxiang discussed it, and they didn't want to entangle them any more.

Who would have thought that even if Bao Zhiru came forward, Du Hehua would be reluctant to live and die, rolling around on the ground, crying and saying that he had no money, and scolding Lu Daxiang and Lu Gu in his mouth, but Lu Daxiang was a coward Yes, the dowry money was all in Du Hehua's hands, and he didn't know where it was hidden. He just kept patting his legs and pacing, constantly shaking his head and sighing, saying that he had done something wrong.

Where is the Shen family willing to make concessions, it is a full twenty taels of silver.

The husband was not married, and was cheated of money. Wei Lanxiang was almost crying, and Bao Zhiru was a witness. Since the Lu family refused to pay back the money, they would repay the debt with things.

When the men in Qingxi Village heard that they were going to move the Lu family's belongings, they were all young people, all of them rolling up their sleeves and gearing up, unable to hide their excitement.

Du Hehua was dumbfounded all of a sudden. She didn't expect the Shen family to do this, but asking her to take out twenty taels was more painful than cutting her flesh. After such a hesitation, everyone from Qingxi Village broke into the house. inside.

Shen Yaoqing strolled around the kitchen, trying to find where Du Hehua hid money, but found nothing. He remembered that Lu Wen was gone, maybe the twenty-two was on Lu Wen.

And if the money was really hidden somewhere in the Lu family, Du Hehua would definitely stop him from entering the house, so as not to be found by them, but Du Hehua didn't do that.

In the end, he had to endure the bad breath and started to carry things. Tableware and chopsticks were not uncommon. He simply removed the iron pot from the stove, which was worth a little money.

Lu Gu was still hiding in the firewood room, listening to the sound of rummaging boxes outside, and a few men smashing doors and bowls, clamoring that the Lu family didn't even have any valuables.

Lu Daxiang and Du Hehua stopped this and the other, crying.

In the end, it was Bao Zhiru who came forward to drink and stop the people who smashed things, saying that they were asked to move things to pay off their debts, not bandits and robbers.

Lu Gu regained his senses at this moment, and his mind could turn, but when he heard the voice of his stepmother, he trembled. When the Shen family left, Du Hehua was so angry that he would definitely take his anger out.

He shrank into the haystack, jumping into a river was the most sturdy thing he had ever done, but once that determination passed, he no longer had the courage to seek death, he just felt tired, and he didn't know if he could still How long to linger.

If it was really good, not bad, Du Hehua cried and scolded her into the firewood room. She couldn't stop the men who were carrying things, and she was pushed to the brink. The hatred in her heart reminded her of Lu Gulai.

"You are a murderer, why don't you die!" She took out a piece of firewood and greeted Lu Gu.

Lu Gu subconsciously wanted to hide, but when he heard the dead word, the last light in his eyes disappeared. He lowered his head and said nothing, allowing Du Hehua to beat him.

The stick that used to only greet him came to his head, and Lu Gu was hit by a stick, and his ears were buzzing. After the dizziness passed, he noticed that something was flowing down from his forehead, and soon his cheeks were swollen. moist.

In a trance, he heard Wei Lanxiang's angry voice, saying that these things were depreciated and sold, adding up to not even ten taels of silver.

Hearing this, Du Hehua threw the wooden stick in his hand, walked out of the firewood room, pointed at Wei Lanxiang with his hands on his hips and yelled at Wei Lanxiang. After scolding, he was playing a rogue. If Shen Xuanqing took advantage of Lu Gu, the Shen family must give it to him. She said that not a single thing is allowed to be taken away, and she has to compensate Lu Gu for the money that she had been prostituted for. Otherwise, she would shake this matter out in Shili Baxiang and make the Shen family shameless. Don't even think about marrying a wife and husband.

Her words were too vulgar and vulgar, Ji Qiuyue hurriedly pulled her sister-in-law Shen Yan out, so as not to be insulted by these words.

How could Wei Lanxiang let her son carry this stigma, stop marrying Lu Wen, and find another good marriage for Shen Xuanqing in the future, and she must not be ruined by splashing dirty water.

The people watching the fun know that Du Hehua jumped off the wall in a hurry and started talking nonsense, but even if it is a rumor, once it spreads, it can be slanderous.

The Shen family was anxious to argue, but Lu Gu, who came out of the woodshed holding the door, spoke first.

He glanced at Du Hehua, then Lu Daxiang, then looked at the others in the yard, and said, "I didn't even say a word to Shen Xuanqing, let alone anything else."

Lu Gu's voice was not loud, because he was a little weak after being beaten again, but as soon as he came out, his face was covered in blood, which made everyone quiet and heard his words.

When Du Hehua beat him in the firewood room just now, no one heard it, and it was not a big deal for the mother to beat the child. Who would have known that Du Hehua would be so ruthless.

Lu Gu looked at Lu Daxiang and continued to say, "If you want to be greedy for those twenty taels, if you don't want to go back, you will frame the bitter master. In the world, how can there be people like you."

Blood filled his eyes, his eyes blinked lightly as the blood flowed down, his pale lips moved, and he wanted to say something else, but he fell down as soon as his eyes got dark, and he lost consciousness again.

"Quick, save people quickly."

There was chaos in the yard, and the people watching the lively outside the door were all startled, thinking that they were about to die, but Du Hehua's face was ashen, and she didn't see any anxiety.

She repeatedly slandered Shen Xuanqing for occupying Lu Gu, which is no different from forcing Lu Gu on the road to death. A pair of children was told by her family that she had lost her innocence, and it was rumored that Lu Gu would never think of the day when he would look up to be a man in his life.

Even Du Hehua mentioned this for his sake, but Lu Daxiang didn't say a word and asked Lu Gu to see this father completely.

He can't live, but the Shen family is innocent and has been deceived for no reason.

In the chaos, Shen Xuanqing, who frowned, was not far from Lu Gu. At the juncture of life and death, how could he think about so many taboos? He stepped forward in two or three steps and carried Lu Gu on his back with the help of Wei Lanxiang and a few others. , ran towards the house of the herbalist in Anjia Village.

—

Amid the strong smell of medicine, Lu Gu, who had a linen cloth wrapped around his head, opened his eyes. He stared at the roof, and only when he heard the throbbing sound of ooh ooh outside did his sluggish eyes move.

Someone pushed open the door and came in, and he was relieved to see that he woke up, but it was the husband of the herbal husband, and Lu Gu knew where he was.

"Grandma Wang." He called out subconsciously and wanted to sit up.

Grandma Wang hurriedly came over to hold him down, and said, "Don't move, rest again, you're seriously injured."

Lu Gu heard that it was Lu Daxiang who was screaming in pain outside. He had doubts, but he didn't have the strength to ask again. It was Grandma Wang who heard the movement outside and whispered to him that Shen Xuanqing had broken his leg. It's being boned.

"Either way, the young man is just too frizzy. When his eyes turn red, he will not know the severity of his attack." Wang Ma babbled while pouring water.

He helped Lu Gu to drink a few sips of warm water, hesitated for a while, with an unbearable look on his face, and said, "Lu Gu, it's not that grandma is scare you, in the future at the Shen family, remember to keep low and be small, but don't dare to contradict others. "

Seeing Lu Gu bewildered, he put down the bowl and looked even more indignant: "Du Hehua, who has a black heart, sold you to the Shen family!"
