Several middle-aged women in the village also followed the He family out and watched the Zhou family members' backs at the entrance of the village. They felt very complicated.
Aunt Wang San glanced in the direction of the house where the five He Dadong brothers lived, and sighed, "What kind of things did the He family do? Those little ones are so young, but they are so cruel. No wonder people say that if the grudges above are not straight, the grudges below will definitely be crooked."
Isn't that the truth? From Old Man He to He Daqiang and the younger ones under him, none of them has a righteous heart.
An auntie showed a look of sudden enlightenment and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I was wondering before, Daqiang's wife has suffered so much, why didn't any of the children come out? This is their only support now, why don't they seem to be anxious? It turns out that they are guilty."
They live in the same courtyard, and even though my sister-in-law had such a big thing happen to her, they didn't even come to see her. Isn't that abnormal
Aunt Zheng, who witnessed Zhou Mingyue lying in a pool of blood, was most deeply moved: "You don't know what happened last night. My scalp still tingles when I think about it now. When Lao Liu and I came in last night, Mingyue had crawled to the door. Her blood was all over the floor. She screamed miserably. It was scary."
The other ladies all showed sympathy on their faces. They were all women who had given birth to children, and just thinking about that scene made them feel terrified.
Only Aunt Wu looked bewildered, and stammered, "So the Zhou family won't care about Dadong and his family anymore?"
The mean-tempered Second Aunt Li spat on the ground and said unhappily, "Why should I care? These evildoers have harmed the baby in my daughter's belly, and you expect me to raise them?"
Aunt Wu opened her mouth and said, "But Dadong and the others are so young, they are too pitiful, right?" Then, she didn't know what she was thinking, and added, "And what Daqiang's wife said may not be true, right? What if she didn't want to raise Dadong and the others and lied?"
Aunt Li rolled her eyes: "But who would dare to use their own life to frame someone else? Didn't you just hear what Sister Zheng said? If she and Brother Liu hadn't arrived in time, Daqiang's wife would have been dead."
Even if Zhou Mingyue didn't want to support He Dadong and the others, there were many ways to do it. How could she be so stupid as to risk her life for it
Moreover, after He Daqiang died, the Zhou family wanted to take Zhou Mingyue back home, but Zhou Mingyue refused at that time. Zhou's mother even stayed to take care of her for half a month before leaving.
Aunt Zheng added, "Fortunately Mingyue slept in Old Man He's room today, otherwise you would have seen the blood all over the floor and you would have known how scary it was. And let me be honest, even though it rained so hard last night, Mingyue screamed so loudly and miserably that I could hear it from the next door. The He family's kids didn't even come out, which is really chilling."
Aunt Li curled her lips and said, "How can bad bamboo produce good bamboo shoots? The roots of this bunch are all rotten. If I were Zhou Mingyue, I would have returned to the Zhou family when He Daqiang died."
Zhou Mingyue is just too stupid. Her husband is dead, so she can just go back if her parents come to pick her up. Why does she care about her husband's younger brother
Aunt Wang San also shook her head: "I know you are soft-hearted, Sister Wu, but these evil people from the He family are not worth it..."
Aunt Wu lowered her head in embarrassment. She felt pity for this person at one moment and that person the next, her heart in a mess.
The other ladies chatted for a while, but since it was still early and there was nothing to do, they simply went back to work in the fields.
When the villagers saw them come back, they naturally asked about the He family.
No one was willing to cover up the dirty deeds of the He family, so the bad deeds done by the He family, young and old, spread throughout Dagou Village. This was also the purpose of Mingyue's effort to perform this act. Even if she wanted to get out of the He family, she had to do it cleanly and in the right.
After all, even if it’s not for your own reputation, you have to consider the Zhou family!
The original owner was obsessed with compensating the Zhou family!
And this is just the beginning.
How can you just let it go easily when someone's life is harmed
Dagou Village is only more than ten miles away from the town’s health center, and Mingyue fell asleep during the bumpy journey.
Nowadays, everyone's family is poor, and for minor illnesses, they can just go to the barefoot doctor in the countryside to see a doctor. Few people are willing to spend money to go to the town health center for treatment.
At that time, the health center consisted of two rows of brick-concrete and tiled houses with more than 20 rooms, but there were only six medical staff including doctors and apprentices. They were now idle in the yard watering and fertilizing the vegetables.
When they saw a large group of people carrying a stretcher with anxious looks on their faces, the medical staff immediately stopped their work, rushed over, asked about the patient's condition, and led the group of people into the ward.
When they sent the person to the hospital bed, they saw that this was the one who insisted on going back this morning and no matter what we said, it was useless.
After arranging the patient, Doctor Li asked about the Zhou family's identities and said unhappily, "The patient was already severely malnourished, and she just had a miscarriage, so she is even weaker. I told her not to go home this morning and told her to stay in the hospital for two days, but she insisted on going back. Now she's been traumatized, and her health has deteriorated even more, and we've ended up spending even more money."
The Zhou family members were so embarrassed by what he said that their faces turned red and their eyes were wet. Why did Mingyue want to go back to the He family? It was because of poverty.
After Mingyue was rescued by He Daqiang, Old Man Zhou went to inquire about the He family's situation.
The He family was poor, but being poor would have been fine. Old Man He also had six sons. In addition to He Daqiang, there were five other sons who were named after the east, west, south, north and center according to their ages. They were all teenagers who ate a lot but did little.
In addition, He's mother died of complications during childbirth when she gave birth to He Dazhong, so life became even more difficult for the family. No one, young or old, liked to clean up, and there was no one to clean up for them, so the house was so unkempt when they went out!
When He Daqiang reached the age to get married, even the matchmaker was unwilling to come to his house because there was no girl willing to marry him.
After all, the girl is not stupid. The family is so poor. Once she marries into the family, she will have to serve a lot of men, young and old. What's the point
It was not until Zhou Mingyue was forced to marry into the He family that the Zhou family sent some subsidies from time to time, and the He family's life gradually improved.
Although the Zhou family knew that most of the things they sent went into the mouths of the He family's livestock, they never imagined that Mingyue would be malnourished!
It's obvious that the younger ones in the He family are all tall and strong. There's no reason why she, a grown-up daughter-in-law, should be treated harshly!
Only the He family could do such a thing. They are not afraid of being criticized by outsiders.
