Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11844

Changping Village, Xiao Erfang.

Xiu Hong has been brought back and is being kept in her own room.

Several of the women from the Yang family stayed with Cao Bamei in the house, taking turns to earnestly persuade Xiuhong.

Of course, some people with stronger tempers, like Yang Ruoqing, didn't go in because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to control themselves and would slap her across the face again.

Yes, when Yang Ruoqing and the others found Xiu Hong at the mountain ranger's hut in the valley forest, they wanted to take them back to the village because Sixi had eloped with Xiu Hong that morning and broke his leg on the way, making it difficult for him to move around.

That wretched girl Xiuhong is still determined not to go back to the village, saying she wants to stay in the mountains with Sixi and take care of him, she won't go home...

When Yang Ruoqing heard this, she slapped Xiu Hong's face twice to wake her up from her love-struck state.

After the two slaps, Xiu Hong stopped making a fuss for a short while, but then started making a fuss again.

This time, Xiao Jie's father couldn't hold back any longer and slapped Xiu Hong twice more. Yang Yongqing usually doted on his niece the most, but he didn't care about her at this moment. If it weren't for the fact that two people had already taught Xiu Hong a lesson, Yang Yongqing would have had to hit her too. It was really infuriating!
So at this moment, the girl sitting on the bed, hugging a pillow, with a swollen face still bearing the marks of a slap, her eyes drooping and sulking at everyone, is Xiu Hong.

As soon as Cao Bamei saw Xiu Hong's face, she cried and rushed over to her, grabbing at her while cursing, "You wretched girl, we've raised you for over ten years for nothing, and you just turn around and run off with someone like that! How are your parents supposed to live now!"

As a result, even though Cao Bamei cried until she couldn't make a sound, and her embroidery was smeared with tears and snot, the girl remained unmoved, as indifferent as a stone, and did not give Cao Bamei the slightest response.

The eldest Sun and the other women quickly helped Cao Bamei to the side and gave her a couple of sips of sugar water to calm her down.

It was Zhao Liuer and Xiao Mo, these aunts, who came to comfort Xiu Hong and carefully analyzed the problems with the marriage.

"It's not that your parents don't support you, the problem lies with Sixi's mother. As the bride's parents, they should be in a superior position, but they actually humbled themselves and went to the groom's house to discuss things. Honey, this is truly the first time in our surrounding villages..."

"Yes, your parents have done everything they could for you, even humbling themselves. It was Si Xi's mother who wasn't happy about it, so how can you blame your parents? And then you even eloped? Don't you think about them at all?"

Faced with her two aunts' earnest advice, Xiuhong simply lowered her eyes, her face initially tense and sullen, but now she was shedding tears. Throughout it all, she remained silent, offering no opinion, communicating no, and refusing to admit her mistakes.

Zhao Liuer and Xiao Mo were talking until their throats were dry. But talking to Xiu Hong felt like talking to a wall, which made them both feel deeply frustrated.

He made an excuse to step aside and let Sun and Liu take their place, continuing to persuade them with kind words.

Sun would definitely try to coax Xiu Hong into being good, telling her that everything should be done slowly and that they should work together to come up with a solution, and that eloping was the worst option.

But Xiu Hong still ignored her and didn't respond. Liu Shi, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Only a wife is a lawfully wedded woman. People like you who elope are concubines. Even if you have five, six, seven, or eight children for Sixi in the future, in the eyes of the whole world, you are not a couple, but lovers. If Sixi gets lucky and becomes rich one day, he can marry a woman younger and more beautiful than you, and you can't even utter a sound. Why? Because he is a lawfully wedded woman, and you are not. You are a concubine who is sneaking around and cannot be seen in the light of day. What are you trying to gain? You are such a fool!" As Liu Shi spoke, she smacked her lips, and the contempt on her face, coupled with her mocking tone, made the feeling extremely strong.

This time, Xiu Hong finally reacted. She raised her head, her eyes red, and argued with Liu Shi: "It's not what Fourth Grandmother said. Sixi and I have already performed the wedding ceremony on the grass, facing the direction of Changping Village!"

"Heaven and earth bear witness, and the mountain spirits of Mianniu Mountain bear witness, Sixi and I are the rightful husband and wife!"

Liu curled her lip and rolled her eyes: "Tsk tsk, you think that's all there is to it? You're just playing house. If that's all there is to it, then Xiao Sanzi and Yongxiao would have several wives in the village by now!"

Xiu Hong was speechless, her face flushed, and she said angrily, "...No wonder, no wonder my mother and my sisters didn't like you back then. Fourth Grandmother, your words are really harsh and sarcastic. You just can't stand to see others doing well..."

"What? What did you say?" Liu exclaimed dramatically, covering her right ear and leaning closer to the bedside: "Say those two sentences about your mother and your sister again, right in my ear?"

"You brat, don't talk nonsense! Your sister and I have never said anything like that!"

Cao Bamei forgot all about drinking her sugar water and rushed to the bedside, yelling at Xiu Hong.

At the same time, he pulled Liu aside and said, clearly feeling guilty, "Fourth Aunt, don't listen to her nonsense. This girl has gone mad. She talks incoherently and acts without considering the consequences. Fourth Aunt, you and Third Aunt, go and rest in the main room!"

Liu didn't want to leave yet, and tried to extract more information from Xiu Hong.

Sun and her eldest sister-in-law came forward and pulled Liu out, one on each side: "Let's go out and let Eighth Sister have a good talk with Xiu Hong!"

Everyone else had left, leaving only Cao Bamei, Zhao Liuer, and Xiao Moshi in the room.

In the main room of the front yard, almost all the other members of Old Yang's family were gathered.

Even Yang Yongjin, who works at a hotel in town, rushed back temporarily.

"What evil spirits have we, the second wife, offended? Both of our daughters' marriages are such a headache. My eighth sister and I were enjoying our good days for a couple of days, and we were finally looking forward to Xiuxiu finding a partner, but Xiuhong is even worse and more terrible. What on earth is going on, God?"

Well, Yang Yongjin, a dignified seven-foot-tall man, is now in tears, with blisters around his mouth. He looks haggard, impatient, anxious, and frustrated, with all sorts of negative emotions mixed together, and all sorts of buffs stacked up!

Old Yang sat to one side, smoking his pipe and sighing, occasionally muttering, "What a misfortune for our family! The girl is useless! She's looked down upon and despised by the man!"

Yang Huaming looked disgusted and said, "It's all because they're spoiled. They've spoiled them so much that even the little swallow is gone!"

Yang Huazhong said, "I'm not surprised at all that Xiuxiu does this kind of thing; she's really used to it. But it really surprised me that Xiuhong did it. This girl has always been calm and sensible since she was little. She's Eighth Sister's right-hand woman. She doesn't talk much. How come she's acting like she's possessed when she meets Sixi?"
