The young and old of a village held torches and searched for the town along the official road. On the way, they found the wreckage of a donkey cart hanging on the cliff, and a little girl's shoe... Alas! What a pity for a lively and lovely little girl! I died like this at a young age...
Many families in the village quietly educated their children behind their backs: Be careful when passing through that mountain road in the future, and don't fall headlong into the cliff like Yu's daughter.
The next day, a small "corpse" covered with a white cloth was parked in the yard of Yu's house, and the whole Yu's house was filled with an atmosphere of "mourning". When the news reached Yu's compound, Mrs. Zhang frowned and almost laughed out loud: Yes! A dead girl who is not filial, who always fights against her, God can't stand it anymore, right
Old Yutou staggered and walked quickly towards the old house. Entering the yard, I saw the figure covered with a white cloth on the wooden bed, and murmured, "Why is this? Why did people fall down after the road was repaired? My granddaughter, why is life so hard? "
Yu Hai squatted beside the wooden bed, with his head down, motionless, like a sculpture. He didn't dare to raise his head, for fear of being seen by others. Under the white cloth is obviously the haystack he made with grass last night, the old house said that he wanted to put on a sad expression, how could he pretend...
Yu Hang stood aside, rubbing his eyes vigorously until they turned red, then he raised his head and shouted at Old Yu: "Grandpa..."
Xiao Lian was really crying. Thinking of her palpitations yesterday evening, she always felt that something was going to happen. Sure enough, Xiaocao met a gangster and almost died. Her little sister is so cute, cute and capable! That wretched person actually murdered the little girl, and if he finds the real culprit, he should let her taste what it's like to be thrown off a cliff! !
Xiao Shitou howled vigorously at the top of his voice: "Second Sister, Second Sister...Little Shitou won't let you go, Second Sister, open your eyes and look at Xiaoshitou again..." Well, it doesn't rain without thunder!
As for Mrs. Liu, the family members were afraid that she would not be able to act and show flaws and they would not be able to find the real culprit, so they asked her to hide in the house, and said to the outside world that she was so sad that she passed out from crying!
Fang Fangzhen and Mrs. Fang also stood beside the small figure. One was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to avenge his daughter; the other wept silently and fell down beside the wooden bed several times. Who came out of the mansion gate without much acting skills? Mrs. Fang cried so hard that several women in the village wept unceasingly and comforted her repeatedly.
Old Yu looked at the sad scene in front of him, sighed deeply, squatted on the ground, hugged his head and said nothing. Although he didn't pay much attention to this little granddaughter, he would still be very upset if she really disappeared.
At noon, the people who came to help had almost left. In front of Yu's house, a familiar carriage stopped, and a slender figure got out of the carriage, stumbled into Yu's house, and cried out sadly, "Cousin! Why did you just go there?"
Mrs. Fang raised her head, looked at her niece with red eyes, her eyes were deep and calm: "Furong, are you back? Are you feeling better? Also, how do you know that something happened to your cousin?"
Xia Furong's sobs paused, and then she quickly returned to normal, and said sadly: "Auntie, you must mourn! As soon as I entered the village, I heard someone talking about my cousin... My cousin was so young, and she encountered such a big problem. It's so pitiful... Cousin, how can you have the heart to let your aunt be sent by a white-haired person to a black-haired person!"
Sure enough, it was an acting school, and tears flowed out as if they didn't want money. Xiaocao, who was hiding in the utility room, watched Xia Furong's series of performances and expressed her deep admiration. Sure enough, there is not a single fuel-efficient lamp from the ancient houses!
Since the "dead" was a minor and a girl, he could not enter the ancestral grave in the village, and he could not do anything about it, so he could only choose a place in the mass grave in the south of the mountain, swept it with grass, dug a hole and buried it. Xia Furong participated in the whole process, and after watching the burial of the "corpse" with her own eyes, she found an excuse and hurried back to the town the next morning.
Fang Fangzhen and the Yu family followed Xia Furong back to the town with the two bandits. At Yu's house, Fangfangzhen arranged for the two gangsters to hide in a dark place, and confirmed that Zixiang next to Xia Furong was the one who traded with them.
To catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, in order to prevent Xia Furong's sophistry, Fang Fangzhen and Yu's family and others, when Zixiang gave the gangsters the remaining silver taels, they all took the stolen goods together.
When Fang Fangzhen and his wife, Yu Xiaocao and the rest of Yu's family dragged the two thieves and escorted Zixiang to appear in front of Xia Furong, this thirteen-year-old girl actually wanted to quibble.
She looked at Zixiang in pain, and scolded in a tone of hatred for iron and steel: "Zixiang, you are confused! Although you and I love sisters, I never thought that you would vent your anger on me in this way! Cousin, although I didn't get along with me, and took away many things that belonged to me, but... I really didn't want her life!!"
Mrs. Fang looked at her seriously, sneered, and said, "Furong, you said that Xiaocao robbed you of something that belonged to you? Let me ask you, what exactly did she rob you of? When did our Fang family change its name to Xia? gone?"
At this time, Xia Furong could calmly change her words: "Auntie, it's my niece who made a mistake! Zixiang saw that her cousin stole her aunt's favor, so she didn't feel angry about me, so she did such a wrong thing. Please look at it, auntie." For the sake of my niece, give her a good time!"
Zixiang opened her eyes wide and looked at the young lady who was talking to herself with an expression of disbelief. Miss is planning to put all the blame on her, she is wronged! ! When the young lady asked her to do this, she tried to persuade the young lady. But at that time, the young lady was already blinded by hatred and jealousy, and she couldn't listen to anyone who said it. I don't know how the young lady found out about the two ruffians in the town, and took her savings and asked her to go to the ruffians to commit murder. Why is she now the mastermind and the young lady is an innocent person
Just as he was about to argue, he saw the lady's warning gaze. Zixiang's heart was cold for a while, she was the son of the Xia family, and her mother and younger brothers were all in the hands of the Xia family. If she tells the truth, not to mention whether she can get away with the crime, but also implicate her family...
Zixiang's heart was ashamed, and her legs limp and collapsed on the ground. She tremblingly said: "Slave... Slave deserves to die. Slave can't bear to see Miss being wronged, so he committed a heinous disaster. Slave deserves to die..."
"Grievance? In my house, there are delicious food and drinks for offerings, and every season's clothes and jewelry are compared with those of officials and officials. As an aunt, how have I ever wronged you?"
Mrs. Fang didn't seem to hear Zixiang's "confession", she stared at Xia Furong fixedly, her heart felt cold. After doing something wrong and being exposed, he can still calmly shirk it to others, letting a girl who loves her sister take the blame, but without feeling guilty. She, this is raising a white-eyed wolf! All these years, she has been so kind to this niece, and raised the heart of this thirteen-year-old girl!
Xia Furong hurriedly said: "Although my aunt is not a mother and daughter to my niece, she loves her like a mother and daughter. My niece has always been grateful..."
Mrs. Fang interrupted her, and said in a deep voice: "You are right about this, we are not mother and daughter after all. Your surname is Xia, not Fang! Everything about the Fang family will have nothing to do with you in the future! On this point, you want Recognize your duty!"
Xia Furong's face finally changed, she had a pale face, and said eagerly: "Why did my aunt say that, my niece never dared to have such delusions..."
"If you know it's a delusion, that's right!! Xiaocao is the goddaughter I admit. If the Fang family has no heir in the future, everything in the Fang family will belong to her! And you are just the Xia family living in the Fang family. Relatives, that's all! How do you compare with Xiaocao?" Mrs. Fang obviously knows the way of house fighting, and she hits the opponent's vitals directly.
After all, Xia Furong was only a teenage girl, she could no longer hold back the anger in her heart, and the expression on her face became ferocious: "Why! Auntie, I've been with you for so many years, isn't it better for someone who just met you? A farm girl in half a year? Aunt, think about it. Over the years, when you were lonely, who was by your side? When you were sick, who was there to serve you? When you were unhappy, who was there to pretend to be stupid To make you happy by acting obediently? What's so good about this stupid girl from a humble background? Let you all treat her heart and soul? I'm not reconciled!! How is she better than me?? "
Mrs. Fang remained indifferent after her niece showed her true colors. The indifference in her eyes made Xia Furong's yelling gradually stop.
Mrs. Fang sighed softly, and said, "Fu Rong, you seem to have forgotten what your parents said when I brought you back. You are just a 'pastime' they gave me. If you didn't have what you said , do you think you still have value in staying in the Fang family?"
"Aunt... Aunt!" Xia Furong had an expression of disbelief, she never thought that her aunt, who loves and spoils her, would say such hurtful words.
Mrs. Fang continued with a face of self-reproach: "Perhaps, I have been so kind to you all these years that you have forgotten your duty and your identity. Haven't you always wanted to become Miss Fang's family?" Don’t you think about it, if I wanted to take you as my daughter, I would have done so many years ago! Do I have to wait until now?”
The bubble of hope in Xia Furong's heart was punctured, and her heart was full of despair. She rushed to Xiaocao like crazy, but was pushed away by Fang Fangzhen's palm and fell heavily to the ground. She wailed in despair: "Why? Why!! How am I not as good as her? What is better about her..."
Mrs. Fang looked at her sympathetically, and said slowly: "She may not be as beautiful as you, as elegant as you, and as temperamental as you... But there is one thing, you will never be as good as her. Because she is purer than you, purer than you! My heart is cleaner than yours!!"
Xia Furong crawled over, embraced Mrs. Fang's legs, and said loudly: "Auntie, this matter is all Zixiang's idea, it has nothing to do with me, Auntie!!"
