The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Seeing that he was arrogant at first but then respectful, Old Man Zhuang had a worse impression of him and said angrily:

“Since you said we are outsiders, we can’t meddle in your family affairs.

Then wait for your Sun family to arrive and see what they say!"

When Mai Sui's father saw that Sun Yue and Qin Lang had already run out, he knew that he couldn't stop them.

His own family knows his own affairs.

Normally, he doesn't have a good reputation in the clan.

When the elders of the clan come, who knows, they might really side with this outsider!

Seeing that Old Man Zhuang also had a stern face, he thought about trying to resolve the matter before the elders came over, and then said with a smile:

"Oh, it's all a misunderstanding!

Didn’t you just say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors?

Let's discuss this matter properly, and don't call the elders over."

Lu Qingqing ignored him and stood in front of Mai Sui and her mother, blocking Mai Sui's father.

Seeing that Lu Qingqing was holding on, Old Man Zhuang stepped forward to help Mai Sui and her daughter up.

After thanking Old Man Zhuang, Mai Sui's mother looked at the wound on her daughter's face and felt very distressed.

After Mai Sui's father finished speaking, he saw that Lu Qingqing and Old Man Zhuang ignored him.

He looked at Mai Sui and her mother who had just stood up, wanting them to say something good about him.

Mai Sui's mother was frightened by his beating. When she saw him looking at her, she subconsciously opened her arms to protect her daughter.

Mai Sui was a stubborn girl. She hugged her mother's arm and stared at her father.

While the few of them were in a stalemate, Sun Yue came running over with Sun Laohai and Sun Dahai.

When Sun Laohai saw the miserable appearance of Mai Sui and her mother, he knew that Mai Sui's father had beaten someone again.

"Sun Lao Lai, I've warned you so many times, why are you hitting people again?

Do you still want to live a good life these days? "

Seeing Sun Laohai staring at him, Sun Laolai curled his lips and muttered softly:

"It's just a trivial matter, but you still have to make a fuss about it.

What man doesn’t beat his wife?

If you don't hit your wife, you're still a real man!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingqing glanced coldly at Sun Laolai.

Sun Laolai was frightened by this look and hid towards Sun Laohai, stammering:

"What...what are you doing? There are...so many people here, you can't hit anyone!"

Sun Laohai turned away his outstretched arm with disdain and pulled his son towards Lu Qingqing.

Sun Laolai noticed his disdainful look, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't move in that direction.

At this time, a group of people were standing in the yard waiting, and just by standing there they isolated Mr. Sun.

Old Man Zhuang stepped forward to comfort Mai Sui and her mother, and the others also offered their consolation.

Mai Sui Niang thanked him softly, but when her eyes accidentally swept over to Sun Lao Lai, she quickly shrank back in fear.

Soon, two elders came over, panting, leaning on crutches.

Behind them were a dozen young men from the two families.

As the two elders entered the yard, they greeted Old Man Zhuang first.

Nowadays, as long as normal order is maintained, the elderly are respected.

In particular, the older elders in the clan pay more attention to this point.

Old Man Zhuang politely returned the greeting.

The two elders nodded to Lu Qingqing and Sun Yue as a greeting.

Then he turned his gaze to Sun Laolai and said sternly:

"Tell me, Lao Lai, what have you done again?"

Sun Lao Lai only started to get scared when he saw the clan elders.

He rolled his eyes and argued:

"Uncle Jiu, I just had a few words with Mai Sui Niang.

The noise is a bit louder!

Who knew that the neighbors from the west would come over and accuse me of beating my wife.

Uncle Jiu, no matter what I say, you are still a member of our Sun family.

You have to make the decision for me on this matter!"

When Old Man Zhuang heard him distorting right and wrong, he immediately stamped his feet in anger.

"How can you talk nonsense!

We saw it with our own eyes, you beat your wife and children to death!

Look, such a thick stick, right behind you!"

The two elders of the tribe saw the performance of several people.

In fact, they already had a general idea about this matter before they came.

This old man, Sun, has been in the village for more than 30 years, and the two elders know his temper.

Just now, Uncle Jiu asked him to speak first because he wanted to give him a chance.

Unexpectedly, he was still quibbling.

Immediately, he leaned the crutch in his hand against the ground.

"That's enough, Lao Lai!"

Then he said to Mai Sui Niang:

"Laolai's wife, tell me, what happened today?"

Mai Sui's mother felt the burning pain on her back, and when she looked at the wound on her daughter's face, she was extremely angry.

But thinking back to the previous times I had consulted the clan elders, they had only given Old Lai Sun a lecture and then released him.

And every time he came back, he would beat himself and the children even more severely.

There were several times when she and Mai Sui almost couldn't make it.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked up and looked at Mr. Sun.

Seeing him staring at her like a venomous snake with a sinister look on his face, she quickly looked away and whispered:

"Yes, we had a few words, we..."

Before she could continue, she heard the wheat ears behind her shout:

“That’s not the case!

Mom, if you don’t tell the truth, none of us will be able to survive!

Fifth Grandpa, Ninth Grandpa, my father locked my mother and me outside the door and wouldn't let us into the house.

These days, we all sleep in the woodshed.

The door of this woodshed is leaking, it's really cold at night!

Also, my father locked up all the food in the house.

Every day, when it’s time to cook, I ask my mother to go into the house and watch her finish the meal.

My mother and I could only drink the water used for hot pot secretly.

If not, if not for the kindness of these brothers!

I would have died from the high fever I had a few days ago!"

The little girl's voice was crisp, and she spoke quickly and urgently, as if she was afraid of being stopped.

Mai Sui Niang wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Lu Qingqing who was next to her.

After they finished speaking, the two elders looked unhappy.

Uncle Wu slammed his crutch down on the ground and cursed:

"Sun Laolai, you want to starve them to death!"

Uncle Jiu was also gasping for breath in anger.

"Our Sun family in Fushan Town has a patron saint who passed the imperial examination!

Nowadays, there are still young men in the clan who are studying.

In the future, you will all be officials, so how can you ruin your reputation like this!

In the past, you were lazy and occasionally made trouble with Mai Sui Niang, so we would say a few words to you!

This time, you actually want to kill them both!"

When Mr. Sun heard what Uncle Jiu said, his heart skipped a beat.

The last person who made Uncle Jiu say such harsh words was kicked out of the clan and left Fushan Town.

Later, I heard that he seemed to have died outside!

He immediately knelt down with a thud, crawled a few steps on his knees, and moved in front of Uncle Jiu.

She hugged his legs and cried bitterly:

"Uncle Jiu, before my father died, he held your hand and gave you instructions.

Let you protect me!

Now in this world, you are the only elder who can take care of me!

You know me, I have no skills and I won’t survive if I go out!

What's more, it's a disaster year now, and the weather is freezing. Going out will only lead to death!"

At this time, the little boy Baoshu who was hiding in the house ran out and hugged his father crying.

"Don't drive my dad away, don't drive my dad away!"
