Chapter 21 Chapter One

The matter of Shan Dae is over, but Grandpa is in a bad mood.He always blamed himself for not preventing the situation from changing in time, and even when he returned to Huamei Village, he still couldn't forget about it.Soon I also had summer vacation, and I went to live with my grandpa again. One morning, a scream that pierced the eardrums woke up the sleepy men and women in dozens of households.It was the short granny who screamed.The little mother-in-law's house was only a few houses away from my grandpa's house, and the screams woke me and my grandpa up.We got up right away and ran out to see what horrible things had happened.

When we got there, the house of the short mother-in-law was already crowded.Someone whispered to each other: "Wenwen hanged himself! Just married and committed suicide, what a happy event and a sad one!" Sitting on the ground, the short mother-in-law sat on the ground, and from what she said and cried, we knew that this was the case... … This morning, the short mother-in-law was carrying a bowl of steaming egg noodles, and walked to the front of the room with the big red "囍" in the middle of the door.Knocked on the door, but there was no answer.The short mother-in-law pressed her happy face against the wooden door, so she couldn't hear the sound of someone getting up.She thought to herself that the bride was too tired from crying yesterday, and now she is in a deep and deep dream.She turned around and wanted to leave, but her hands felt the heat of the egg noodles slowly drop.So she knocked on the door again and shouted: "Wenwen, Wenwen!" There was still no answer in the room, not even the sound caused by a person squirming on the bed, it was as quiet as death.The short mother-in-law was puzzled: Could it be that this little girl has escaped?

Holding the steaming bowl of egg noodles, she walked unsteadily to the window with the red mandarin duck paper-cut.The curtains were closed, and the little mother-in-law stood on tiptoe and straightened her neck to peek inside from the edge of the curtains.Suddenly, the short granny was motionless, as if frozen by the cold morning air for a moment.After a long time, the short granny's hand twitched, the bowl fell and shattered into several pieces, the egg noodles spilled out, and at the same time, she let out that ear-piercing scream.A group of chickens pecking at the peach tree ran away in shock.The egg noodles are spread out on the ground, the noodles are like disheveled hair, and the eggs with medium yellow and white sides are like bulging eyes hidden in the messy hair.The short granny saw a pile of messy hair from the edge of the curtain. There were a pair of bulging eyes hidden in the messy hair, and her tongue was sticking out from between her lips.Wenwen's body is hanging on the red rope used to tie the dowry!

Neighbors who heard the screams rushed over.Seeing that something was wrong, the men immediately kicked open the door.When my grandpa and I arrived, they had already removed Wenwen from the rope.From a gap in the crowd, I saw Wenwen wearing a new wedding dress, dark red in color, like a bunch of dried red peppers.A man put his finger on Wenwen's nose, then shook his head and said, "I'm out of breath." This sentence seemed to touch a switch somewhere on the short granny's body, and she began to cry terribly.The cavalry soldiers who had been lingering outside the door, not daring to come in, heard their mother's cries, immediately "thumped" and knelt down, their faces pale.In the next room there was also the cry of a big man. It was Ma Bing's elder brother Ma Jun, who had disabled legs.

The couplets on the door are as red as blood!Ma Jun and Wenwen just got married yesterday, and today they are separated from each other! When it comes to why Wenwen married Ma Jun, who has disabled legs, there is a story of love deception. The short mother-in-law's husband died early, leaving her two sons, Ma Jun and Ma Bing, to take care of.The youngest son, Ma Bing, is handsome and eloquent; the eldest son, Ma Jun, is congenitally disabled.The short mother-in-law's husband always said that he was worried about the future marriage of the eldest son before he died, and he refused to breathe his last breath.In rural areas, if a man loses his labor force, he loses his ability to compete in marriage. No one wants to marry his daughter to someone who cannot do farm work.The short mother-in-law comforted her husband and said, "You can go at ease, I will definitely take care of the eldest son's affairs. If I don't do it well, I will also be on Huangquan Road in the future, and you will settle accounts with me."

The short mother-in-law is a well-known shrewd person in Huamei Village. She can solve many things that her husband can't do.With this promise from the short granny, her husband squeezed her hand tightly, sighed and went back with his eyes closed. After her husband died, the two sons were growing up, the younger son had already married, and the older son didn't even see a person to propose marriage.The short mother-in-law once entrusted countless matchmakers to find a suitable match. As long as the age gap is not too big and the appearance is not particularly ugly, she will agree to the eldest son.But when people heard that the other party was a cripple who couldn't work in the farmland, they all shook their heads like a rattle.

The short mother-in-law felt worried when she thought of her husband's confession. She was afraid that her husband would still blame her in the underworld, so she began to think of wrong ideas. Although the two brothers Ma Jun and Ma Bing are not twins, they still have similar eyebrows, nose and mouth. She wondered, can Ma Bing come forward when introducing her to deceive the girl? The army sent into the cave.When the new girl finds out that her husband is Ma Jun the next day, it is too late to regret it. Just do what you say, the short mother-in-law persuaded the horse soldiers to agree, and began to implement her plot.She didn't dare to tell Ma Bing's daughter-in-law the truth, so she told Ma Bing's daughter-in-law that Ma Bing was going to the city to do some errands and would not be back for several days.Ma Bing's daughter-in-law did not doubt her mother-in-law's words.
