When Liu Ce and his family first left Liujia Village, they were very arrogant.
Mother Liu was in the village, and she deliberately showed off loudly to everyone she met: "The old fortune teller who passed by the village before said that I have a good life, and that I am a noble person who enjoys blessings. Sure enough, Ace is going to pick me up now. Huaijing is the capital city at the emperor’s feet, and it’s the most lively. If you want to see me in the future, it will be difficult. "
Liu's father, on the other hand, acted aloof and ignored others when talking to him, as if he was some kind of noble gentleman.
In addition, Liu Xiaolian's eyes were so long that no one looked down on her, which made her even more unpopular with the villagers.
But Liu Ce was the only scholar in the village, and everyone hoped that he would pass the imperial examination and help the people in the village avoid taxes and corvee.
So even though everyone hated the Liu family's appearance of being a villain, no one really said anything to them. At most, they couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and left with curled lips.
Later, I saw Liu's father quietly returning to the village, but he was selling houses and land. Everyone in the village secretly watched the joke.
He also said that he was taken away by his son to enjoy the blessings. I have never seen anyone go to enjoy the blessings. He also went out of his way to sell the inheritance passed down by his ancestors. It was really embarrassing and humiliating.
But after the people in the village got good jobs and went to Huaijing to work for the nobleman Zhuangzi, no one cared about what happened to the Liu family.
Everyone just thinks that if this job can be done for a long time, it will be a better thing than the gods.
However, this job was eventually lost because of Liu Ce, which caused everyone in Liujia Village to hate Liu Ce.
After all, Liu Ce had won the election, so his help in avoiding taxes was limited, and he was definitely only helping the closest families.
But the money they got from the good job was real money, and every household in the village had a share. Even though they had only done the work for more than ten days, the steward paid the bill for them.
But now that the job is gone, it's because Liu Ce deceived the young lady. How can people not be angry with him
Originally, the big guy was kicked out by the steward overnight, and he was filled with anger. Later, he was deceived by Liu Ce's sweet words, and his anger became even more intense.
Fortunately, they believed Liu Ce's words and asked them to go back to work in Zhuangzi. But in the end, it was all lies and nonsense.
If they were not afraid of being implicated by Liu Ce, they would have wanted to teach the Liu family some lessons at that time. Unfortunately, considering that the nobleman Liu Ce offended was of such high status, everyone was afraid of being implicated, so they had to run back to the village in a hurry, feeling worried. The Liu family was scolded half to death.
So after the Liu family followed them back to the village, their lives suddenly became difficult.
Not all people in Liujia Village are good-tempered. There are always a few women who like to care about things, and villagers who like to add insult to injury and make things worse.
In addition, this job requires a lot of people, and almost every household in the village has people working there. Liu Ce has affected everyone's interests and made the entire village very dissatisfied with him.
It was Village Chief Liu who, after learning that Liu Ce had deceived noble people outside, causing his Cui'er to be so angry that she didn't even know where she was at the moment, he cursed Liu Ce at the entrance of the village all day long for being ungrateful and heartless.
What's more, Liu Ce has not yet passed the imperial examination, and because of buying and selling examination questions, he was punished to have his honors revoked, and he was unable to take the imperial examination for three generations. What does this mean? It shows that Liu Ce is a useless person!
Now the villagers' only concern was gone.
After the Liu family returned to Liujia Village in disgrace, there was no comfortable day.
Originally, the Liu family wanted to join Village Chief Liu at first. The Village Chief's family had a small population, so the family of three could live there without being crowded.
However, after Liu Cuier was divorced, she never returned home. She still doesn't know where she is now.
Although Village Chief Liu didn't know that his daughter was divorced, he still felt that Liu Ce had betrayed his daughter and made her not want to come back. He hated the Liu family to the core, so how could he allow them to live in his home
In the end, the Liu family had no choice but to live in the abandoned thatched house at the end of the village, planning to wait some time before talking to Village Chief Liu.
But the Liu family never expected that on the first day they lived in the thatched house, when the Liu family went out to find someone to intercede, who knew who poured a lot of excrement at the door of the thatched house, making the house stink. Lying on the bed unable to move, Liu Ce felt nauseous.
When the Liu family and his wife came back to see each other, they wanted to scold but were afraid of making the villagers unhappy again, so in the end they could only endure it.
However, this endurance is endless.
No matter where the Liu family goes, they are always looked down upon and ostracized. Even if they want to talk to other villagers, when they see it is them, they immediately roll their eyes and leave.
Not to mention that the Liu family wanted to borrow something. All the things in their home were sold with the house. Now pots, pans, pans and food need to be bought now.
Originally, when encountering this kind of situation in the village, everyone would help each other and borrow whatever they could. After all, they all belonged to the same ancestor.
But the Liu family is like fish in a stinky ditch now. No one wants to talk to them at all, and they will only be laughed at.
As a result, the money the family has on hand is getting less and less, and they are becoming more and more impatient.
Especially when the people in Liujia Village knew that the villagers from the two neighboring villages were favored by nobles and chose to work in Zhuangzi where they were working as errands, the life of the Liu family became even more difficult.
Once Liu's mother was washing clothes by the river, and was squeezed into the river by a woman. If she hadn't been able to swim, she might have died.
Even so, no one of the surrounding villagers spoke for her, they only looked at her with such indifferent eyes, which made Mother Liu burst into tears, and she couldn't help feeling regretful in her heart.
She regretted why she had been obsessed with wanting her son to marry the lady of the prime minister's house. She obviously lived so comfortably in the village before, and she had a good relationship with these women in the past!
But there is no regret medicine in life. Later, the family really had no rice to cook. The Liu family had no choice but to sell their daughter Liu Xiaolian to the pig butcher in the next village whose daughter-in-law died. For no other reason than the killing. The pigmaker is willing to give money, even though he has beaten his wife to death before...
But after all, the money was not enough for a family of three to live in vain. In the end, Liu's father secretly took the last few dozen copper coins, left his wife and children and ran away. He really couldn't stand the cynicism and cynicism of those in the village. The depressing atmosphere at home.
After Liu's mother learned about this, her expression was as usual, and she even used the leftover rice at home to steam a delicious meal of white rice.
Ever since Liu Ce injured his leg and went to prison, he had been suffering from leg problems. He lay in bed all day long and had no idea what was going on. When his mother brought rice, he didn't ask why. Why does it taste so good? I just picked up the bowl and started cooking.
Mother Liu kept watching him quietly. After he finished eating, she tidied up the house and closed the door.
In the evening, Liu's mother came to her son's house. Seeing her son sleeping soundly, she picked up the pillow next to her and covered her son's head hard. The expression on her face was calm but filled with madness. .
At first Liu Ce thought he was having a nightmare, until it became increasingly difficult to breathe and he began to struggle.
But how could a scholar like him who was used to being waited on be compared to Mother Liu, a woman who was used to menial work
Mother Liu felt the struggle under her hand getting smaller and smaller, and felt that her son gradually stopped moving. She still didn't let go of her hand, and pressed the pillow for a long time. It wasn't until a dog barked outside that she seemed to be startled and woke up.
She arranged her son's clothes and closed her eyes, then found her husband's belt and hung it on the beam. She stood on the stool, hung her head on the belt, and kicked off the stool.
She had lived in a haze all her life, listening to her son and her husband, which harmed her daughter-in-law and her daughter.
But the person she cared about her whole life abandoned her and ran away secretly.
She was tired and couldn't think about anything else. She just wanted to be a sober person in her next life.
As for her son, she took him away so that no one would take care of him in the future.
It took the people of Liujia Village seven or eight days to realize that they had not seen the Liu family for a long time.
Because of everyone's blatant disgust, the Liu family has learned to understand and no longer feel uncomfortable in front of the big guys.
But whether it's chopping firewood or washing clothes, these jobs are all within the same scope, and it is inevitable to meet the Liu family, so everyone can always see them.
After so many days without seeing anyone, someone asked to go and see what was going on? Others were also curious after hearing this and simply followed.
However, as soon as a group of villagers approached the door of the house where Liu's family lived, they smelled the stench of rotting meat. Some of them immediately felt nauseated and wanted to vomit.
When a group of people knocked on the door but no one answered, they kicked in the door and entered the house. She was immediately hung from a beam and her complexion was pale and blue, which shocked Mother Liu.
After seeing Liu Ce who had also lost his breath in the house, the villagers looked at each other. For a moment, they really didn't know what expression to make.
But someone asked about Father Liu? But no one had seen him at all.
In the end, there was no choice but to find Liu Xiaolian, who was already married. After all, no one in the village was willing to pay for the funeral of Liu's mother and son.
Although death is like a lamp going out, the people in Liujia Village watched helplessly as the people in the next village made a lot of money. During the holidays, they went home to get meat and tear cloth. I heard that they were all distributed by Zhuangzi, but these It originally belonged to the people of Liujia Village, so how could they not blame the Liu family
However, when the villagers found Liu Xiaolian, her face was still bruised and swollen. Even after hearing that her mother and brother were dead, the look on her face did not change. She even twitched the corner of her mouth and asked with a sneer: "Oh, they died." He’s dead, what does it have to do with me?”
The villagers scolded her for being cold-blooded and ruthless, saying that this was her biological mother and brother. She didn't even shed tears, but she could still laugh.
However, Liu Xiaolian opened her sleeves, revealing her arms that were burnt beyond recognition. She said in a sharp voice: "My mother and my brothers, they are all human beings. They sold me, they hurt me." They’ve been beaten all day long and don’t have a single piece of meat on their bodies, so why should I worry about their funerals?”
Needless to say, her appearance frightened the villagers so much that everyone was speechless when they saw the scars on her arms.
When the butcher came over with a knife, Liu Xiaolian's calm expression was instantly broken, and her eyes showed deep fear.
The villagers watched helplessly as the butcher pulled her hair away. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, they just shook their heads and left quickly. No one wanted to meddle in other people's business!
Because no one wanted to take care of the Liu family's mother and son, Village Chief Liu finally came forward as the father-in-law, found a piece of land, rolled up the mother and son in a straw mat, and hurriedly buried them in the ground.
As for Father Liu with dozens of copper coins in his arms, some villagers later saw him in Huaijing City, but by that time he was already a beggar who had lost his arms, and the villagers did not dare to go up and recognize him.
On the other hand, there has been no news from Liu Cuier since she left Liujia Village. She has never returned to Liujia Village in her life, and she has been missed by Village Chief Liu and Yang for the rest of their lives.
But Ming Yue once met Liu Cui'er by chance. It was when she went to a banquet at the house of an official's wife. Mingyue accidentally glanced and saw the hottest weather in July. Liu Cui'er trembled. Kneeling majestically on the stone slab in the sun.
I heard the lady in the house say: This is the maid I bought not long ago. She is a pretentious bitch who actually wants to seduce the master. After a while, I will ask Yapo to sell her to Goulan Courtyard and ask her to seduce her as much as possible.
Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly and remained silent. Whatever you sow, you will get what you want.
Liu Cuier made her own decision, and she had to bear the consequences herself.
Later, Mingyue never saw Liu Cuier again.

When Yun Zhao was twenty-three years old, she used a trick to lure the emperor into a trap and brought together a group of bandits in Laoliang. Not only did she eliminate the bandits who had been causing trouble in Laoliang for many years, she also regained the territory occupied by the bandits along the way. Nancheng for many years.
Therefore, she was named the first female general in history by the emperor who had only ascended the throne for two years.
It's ridiculous to say that because Yun Zhao has been dressing up in men's clothing and traveling with her for more than ten years, no one in the entire military camp discovered that she was a woman. It was only after the emperor's decree came down that the soldiers in the military camp were in an uproar.
At that time, some familiar soldiers came to Yun Zhao. They refused to believe that she was a woman and insisted on making her take off her clothes to prove her true identity.
The ending was that the soldier was beaten into a hunched shrimp by Yun Zhao and could not straighten his waist.
However, the soldier still shouted: "Look, how can a woman be so strong? You must be a man."
Yun Zhao never felt that there was any difference between men and women, and he was too lazy to argue with the soldier. After receiving the order, he was ready to return to Huai Jing to thank him. Of course, the most important thing was to meet his sister and godmother.
After Yun Zhao finally returned to Huai Jing, he went to the palace to express gratitude and then went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. His godmother hugged her and cried for a long time, but her sister remained calm and composed as always. Her godfather and three cheap brothers praised her a lot, but It went in her left ear and out the right ear.
Yun Zhao stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days, staying in the same house she lived in before. The house still maintained the same appearance as when she left it. She could not help but feel warm when she saw that it was being cleaned from time to time.
