Chapter 122

Lei Xiong walked a few steps, turned around and glanced at the woman's home. "Little girl, I met a woman carrying water today, and her family lives there. Are women carrying water in your Taohua Village?"

"Uncle Lei is talking about Aunt Hong's house? Aunt Hong's husband passed away a long time ago, and now Aunt Hong lives alone with her ten-year-old daughter."

"It's not easy for a woman to bring a child. Has she ever thought about remarrying?" Lei Xiong asked Xu Banxia about Widow Hong while walking.

"I don't know about that." Xu Banxia didn't understand why Lei Xiong asked these questions, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times. "Uncle Lei, are you alone in your family?"

Lei Xiong was a little puzzled, why did the little girl suddenly ask him this. "Yeah, it's just me, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just asking casually. I think Uncle Lei will live in our house for a long time, and I'm worried that Uncle Lei's family has been waiting for you but won't see you back."

"Don't worry about it, I'm alone at home."

The Liu family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lei Xiong coming back after Xu Banxia.

"Brother Lei, where did you go this early in the morning? I thought you left quietly." As soon as Liu Dashan saw Lei Xiong, he immediately walked to his side.

"I just went out for a walk."

He just went out for a while, why everyone said he left quietly.

Looks like he'll have to tell them next time he's out for a walk.

Lest they look everywhere for him and fail to find him.

"Uncle Lei, let's go in and eat." Xu Banxia signaled Lei Xiong to come to the table.

"Well."

Lei Xiong walked over and sat down.

Liu Dashan saw that the only vacant seat left was the one next to Qin's, and immediately fell into hesitation.

He didn't want to sit next to her.

Therefore, Lei Xiong turned his attention to Lei Xiong. "Brother Lei, let's switch? You sit over there, can I sit with you?"

"Why? Isn't that your daughter-in-law? It's inappropriate for me to sit there." Lei Xiong didn't intend to change with Liu Dashan.

Liu Dashan's expression was suddenly uglier than crying.

Xu Banxia saw that Liu Dashan didn't sit down for a long time, so he said: "Father, you used to sit with mother."

Liu Dashan glanced at Qin Shi who was sitting there with an expressionless face and said, "But I don't want to sit next to her."

Xu Banxia was puzzled: "Why?"

Liu Dashan: "Anyway, I just don't want to. There are so many reasons."

This woman was too scary, and he didn't want to get too close to her.

"Or... you change places with me?" Liu Dashan set his mind on Xu Banxia again.

Xu Banxia didn't rush to answer Liu Dashan, but glanced at Qin's.

Qin's face was cold and seemed unhappy.

But yes, Dad was so resistant to sleeping in the same room with Mother last night.

It's no wonder the mother is not angry.

Still angry to this day.

"Father, what you say and do now will one day pay the price for it. When you recover your memory one day, you will regret treating your mother like this."

Xu Banxia shook his head and sighed, thinking that Liu Dashan would think of everything in the future, and it would be difficult for him to sleep in the same room with his mother.

"She is a married woman, why should I regret it?" Liu Dashan was puzzled.

Why do everyone say that he is Liu Dashan, the husband of that woman.

"Father, please sit down and eat." Xu Banxia heard the words, looked at Qin Shi who was still expressionless, and she let out a long sigh.

Mother doesn't want to talk to Liu's father anymore.

And she didn't want to talk to her father anymore, she felt that Liu's father was hopeless.

"You won't trade with me." Liu Dashan complained a little in his tone.

"If you don't want to sit, just stand and eat." Qin didn't even bother to look at Liu Dashan. "Let's eat, leave him alone."

Liu Dashan: "..."

Lei Xiong glanced at Liu Dashan and shook his head helplessly.

He'd better eat, the food was so delicious, he was already starving.

Ever since, Liu Dashan finished his meal standing up, taking a peek at Qin from time to time.

After dinner, Lei Xiong was bored and couldn't help but think of Widow Hong and her daughter Yanzi in the morning.

The little girl was thin and small, and short in stature.

It looks like it doesn't eat well.

And she didn't know how to bring up her daughter. It must be a difficult day.

Lei Xiong wanted to go to Widow Hong's house, but stopped after taking two steps.

For what reason did he go?
Lei Xiong was a little worried.

After eating, Qin went to the field to take care of the peach trees, but Liu Dashan hid somewhere.

Xu Banxia didn't find Liu Dashan, and went to the field with Qin Shi.

"Ban Xia, you said that your father... can still recover his memory?" Qin Shi was angry when he thought of Liu Dashan's attitude towards him after he came back.

Xu Banxia knew that Qin Shi was brooding about what happened just now, so she comforted her: "Mother, Dad just lost his memory for a short time, and one day he will think of us."

Qin Shi sighed, a little worried. "But when is he like that, when will he remember? What if he never remembers?"

"No, I will find a way to let Dad recover his memory sooner." She had already thought about it, and when she went to Fucheng, she would take Liu Dad with her and find the best doctor to show Liu Dad.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, I will get angry when I say this." The more Qin thought about it, the worse she became, and she simply stopped thinking about it.

"Okay, then let's not talk about this." Xu Banxia didn't want to continue this topic either.

It's really Liu's current words and deeds that make her feel... angry.

Qin Shi and Xu Banxia walked towards the field, and suddenly they were attracted by a discussion.

Xu Banxia couldn't help slowing down, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to their discussion.

"Hey, let me tell you, I just saw Widow Hong walking with a man, and her daughter is also here."

"real or fake?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. Could it be possible to lie to you?"

"The widow Hong has been dead for so many years, and she hasn't remarried yet. Why did she suddenly walk with a man?"

"It must have been a widow for too long, and I can't bear the loneliness. And that man doesn't seem to be from our Peach Blossom Village."

"Not from our village? Could it be that Widow Hong hooked up with other wild men?"

"Does it need to be said? Most likely! Widow Hong is also good-looking, but there are many bachelors in our village who miss her. Several times they came to marry her, but Widow Hong refused.

I thought she was so noble, but now she hooked up with a wild man from another village, in broad daylight, how shameless! "

"I didn't expect Widow Hong to be such a person. It's really shameless. I thought she was pretty good before. I have been a widow for so many years and haven't remarried. Who would have thought that she is such a person in her bones!"

"Who said no? I thought I was dazzled when I saw it."

After listening to the general idea, Xu Banxia couldn't listen anymore.

When did Aunt Hong hook up with wild men?
What are these two gossips talking about here?
Not only Xu Banxia, ​​but even the Qin family couldn't listen anymore.

"How could the Hong family be that kind of person?"

"Mother, has a strange man come to our village recently?" Xu Banxia asked after thinking about the two gossip women who said that the man was not from Taohua Village.

Mrs. Qin thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "No strange man has come to our village recently."

"Only the one surnamed Lei who just came to our house yesterday, otherwise there hasn't been one recently."

When Xu Banxia heard this, she couldn't help thinking that when she went out to find Uncle Lei this morning, Uncle Lei suddenly asked about Aunt Hong.

Could it be... the wild man those two gossip women were talking about was... Uncle Lei?
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Banxia hurried over to stop the two gossiping women.

"Wait a second, aunts, may I ask you something."

Xu Banxia stood in front of the two of them.

"Yo, it's Pinellia, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

Seeing that it was Xu Banxia, ​​the two stopped immediately.

Qin Shi watched Xu Banxia run past, and hurriedly followed.

Xu Banxia said politely: "Aunts, what did you say about the wild man walking with Aunt Hong just now? Can you tell me about it?"

"Hey Banxia, ​​let me tell you, if you and your mother see him, you should stay away from him. That man is definitely not a good person."

"Auntie, what does he look like?" Xu Banxia was a little anxious, what she wanted to know was what that person looked like, and she didn't want to hear such nonsense.

"He has a beard, his face is a little dark, and he looks a little sinister."

After Xu Banxia listened, she was sure it was Uncle Lei.

Unexpectedly, the wild man they were talking about would be... Uncle Lei.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qin immediately knew who they were talking about.

Why did Dashan's savior suddenly become a wild man.

What happened?
Xu Banxia asked about the specific situation again. After asking, Xu Banxia greeted them and took Qin Shi away.

After walking away, Xu Banxia said. "Mother, Uncle Lei asked me about Aunt Hong this morning. I was quite puzzled at the time. I didn't expect Uncle Lei to help Aunt Hong carry water, and we villagers saw it."

"Banxia, ​​you said that it is not easy for Hong to live alone with a daughter. Now that this happened, it has already affected Hong's reputation."

"If this story spreads to the village, I'm afraid the Hong family will be immersed in a pig cage."

"Soaking in a pig cage? Is it so serious?" Xu Banxia's eyes widened in shock.

But after thinking about it, I think this is normal.

After all, this is ancient times. Aunt Hong, a widow, walked with a man. Although they did nothing, those people would not believe it.

"Yeah, this is a very unfair thing to women. Sometimes it is men who commit crimes, but those people are born to punish women." Qin sighed, lamenting the fate of being treated unfairly as a woman .

Listening to Qin's words, Xu Banxia was slightly taken aback.

Unexpectedly, as a person of this era, Qin would say such a thing.

She also felt that dipping in a pig cage was unfair to women.

"Let's go, today I have to take care of all those peach trees."

Qin Shi sighed and walked towards the field.

Xu Banxia looked at Qin Shi who was walking in front, followed silently, thoughtful.

After being busy for a long time, Xu Banxia and Qin Shi returned home before the sun set.

After returning, Xu Banxia cooked dinner.

In a place like the country, gossip always travels fast.

When Xu Banxia went out the next day, he heard people outside talking about Widow Hong finding a wild man from outside.

Widow Hong was almost drowned by everyone's saliva.

Originally planning to work in the fields, she walked shamelessly in the village after hearing the rumors when she went out.

So Widow Hong decided to go home.

However, those who saw Widow Hong didn't want to let her go, and surrounded her and pointed at her.

Widow Hong saw that she was surrounded by people, and she couldn't leave even if she wanted to, feeling very helpless.

"This Hong family has no sense of shame. He wants men like crazy."

"Walking with a wild man in broad daylight."

Unpleasant words kept coming, and Widow Hong turned pale when she heard what they said.

However, those people became more and more powerful.

It is also said that Widow Hong brought the wild man back home.

Some people said that Cao Lizheng should be invited to soak Widow Hong in a pig cage.

When Widow Hong heard that they were going to invite Lizheng, she was so frightened that her legs went limp when she immersed herself in the pig cage.

"I didn't, don't blame me!"

That person just kindly helped her fetch water, obviously they didn't do anything.

"No wonder, I saw it with my own eyes that day!"

"You have been bumped into and you still want to deny it?"

Widow Hong's tears fell suddenly, and she kept shaking her head: "I didn't! I have nothing to do with him! He just kindly helped me carry water."

"It must be you who asked him to bring him home by carrying water!"

"I didn't! How could I do that! How could you slander me like this!?" Widow Hong cried and defended herself.

"Okay, don't explain it! Someone has seen it with their own eyes!"

"Widow Hong doesn't obey women's ways, she did such a thing! Put her in a pig cage!"

"Yes! Dip the pig cage!"

Widow Hong plopped on her knees and begged for mercy. "I didn't! Please let me go, don't put me in a pig cage. If something happens to me, what will my daughter do?"

The movement became louder and louder. Li Shi saw a group of people gathered around here, and out of curiosity, she stepped forward to listen to a few words.

Hearing this, Li Shi was terrified.

She hurried back and told Xu Banxia about it.

Lei Xiong, who was sitting beside him, naturally heard it too.

After Lei Xiong heard this, he couldn't sit still.

He rushed out immediately, and the scene when he saw that weak woman carrying two buckets of water that morning appeared in his mind.

If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't be facing what she is today.

He has to stop it quickly, or it will be too late, and she will be soaked in a pig cage.

If she is soaked in a pig cage, he will never feel at ease for the rest of his life.

When Xu Banxia reacted, there was no trace of Lei Xiong beside him.

Xu Banxia didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly chased him out.

If Uncle Lei makes the matter worse, it will be difficult to end at that time, she has to watch it.

Seeing that Xu Banxia had gone out, Mrs. Li was about to leave when she was stopped by Mrs. Qin.

"Brother and sister, what happened?" Qin came out.

Seeing Qin, Li shouted, "Sister-in-law, something serious happened!"

"What happened?" Qin's face was puzzled.

"The person who saved Big Brother, he..."
