Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 222 Axiom ([-])

Yang Yizhi, Baishou, Wanwan, and Yang Feng stood in the yard.

Yang Feng told the story again: "...we were standing at the foot of the mountain and were talking, and then we heard arguing under the tree in front of us, it was soft at first, and then it became louder... Xiangxiu's voice was very angry, and finally hysterical... ...Then I heard Xie San shout... When we went over, we found that Xiangxiu had fallen under the tree and died."

"You said Xie San and Xiangxiu were arguing, what are they arguing about?"

"Xie San's voice is very low, I don't know what he said, but I heard Xiangxiu call him a hooligan, shameless..."

Yang Feng's words were useless at all, only Xiangxiu was swearing, I don't know what Xie San said, she was simply partial to Xie San, Wan Wan asked a few times but didn't find anything useful, Yang Feng kept asking Wan Wan He was also a little impatient with the question, his father was the head of a village and he didn't speak, but a woman was just worrying about it.

After the mourning hall was set up, Maicao knelt beside Xiangxiu and cried. She had no other relatives. After discussing for a while, Wanwan stayed with her and asked Baishou, the next life, and their children to go back to rest. , he insisted not to leave but to stay, Baishou had no choice but to take the child home by himself.

When passing the coal pile, Xie Xian was instructing the miners to load coal, and there was still a round of coal left in the bullock cart, ten bullock carts lined up a long way, and when Baishou returned, there was still an unfamiliar cart driver squatting at his feet talk.

Seeing that the coal was about to be full, Xie Xian ordered his servant to call Guanshi Liu down. When Guanshi came down, he heard that someone had died in the mine, and it was Xiangxiu, so he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Xie San didn't do it on purpose, and he's not responsible for it. I'll leave with the coal truck later, maybe I'll come over tomorrow afternoon. If you need help tomorrow, you should be as satisfied and cooperative as possible. Well, if she sent five taels of silver for the funeral expenses, it wouldn't count as her death in the line of duty, and I've done my best."

Guanshi Liu said yes again and again, his mind was still in chaos, and finally he couldn't help it, so he asked, "Third young master, how did this Xiangxiu die?"

"Suicide!"

*******
On the second day, when people got up and passed by the foot of the mountain, they saw the white cloth tied by Xiangxiu's house, and they were all surprised. After asking, they found out that Xiangxiu was gone last night.

The miners in the mine were very surprised and regretful: "Such a beautiful girl just disappeared!"

"It won't be good for eating in the future!"

And the people in Yangjia Village reacted much stronger than the people in the mine when they heard the news!
"How is it possible? Didn't you be fine yesterday? Why can't you think about it?"

"Yeah, this news is too surprising. Wait, I'm not dreaming..." Then he twisted his thigh and grinned: "Oh, it hurts, it seems to be real."

"You say that she has such a good life, why can't she think about committing suicide?"

"Hmph, according to my opinion, he must have been forced to death by a man. You didn't hear that the foreman Xie from the mine was there at that time. It's not like everyone knows about the affair between the two of them!"

"Yo, so according to what you said, it was the foreman who forced her to death? You can tell me how you forced her to death. She works in the kitchen all day long, facing so many men every day. Drive her to death, a person surnamed Xie will force her to death!"

"Yeah, I think you've all forgotten. The story about Xiangxiu having an affair with Mr. Xie was widely spread... Hey, that's not right. Now that the two are getting along, why are you still looking for short-sightedness?"

Everyone guessed from one sentence to another, and heard all about Xiangxiu while walking on the road.

At this time, Baishou was talking to Xie San.

"What happened last night, Xiangxiu committed suicide just because of a few quarrels?"

Hearing Baishou's question, Xie San's face was drawn: "What do you mean? Besides, what does Xiangxiu have to do with you? Why do you ask this? What's going on? I told Village Chief Yang last night. Do I need to answer you again?"

Baishou sullenly said: "Okay, fine, you don't have to say anything, I'll go to the restaurant to find shopkeeper Yu, and ask shopkeeper Yu to write to the second young master, asking him to come and make decisions for Maicao's mother!"

"Hey!" Xie San hurriedly grabbed Baishou who was about to leave, with an apologetic smile on his face, and said flatteringly: "You see this bad luck, I am also very annoyed, my tone was bad just now, brother Baishou, please don't let me go!" Oddly enough!"

Baishou glanced at him coldly.

Xie San's expression changed, and he said helplessly: "I just scolded her a few words. She was working outside with Li Li earlier, and she never found a man. A widow will inevitably attract people's tongues. I saw that she was right with the rumors. It's not the same, she is pretty and hardworking, so I told her to let her be my concubine..."

Hearing this, Baishou stared, what the hell are you, you are a slave yourself, and you still want to buy a concubine!
"...But she not only disagreed, but also scolded me a lot of shameless things. Brother Baishou, I have been working in Xie's family for many years, and no one has ever scolded me like that. If I was scolded like that by a woman, how about I? Give her some color to see that I'm not a man, and besides, she is a slut, you don't know me, but she and Liu Guanshi have had an affair in Zhuangzi, so I scolded some nasty things, and put this She couldn't take it with just a few words...Anyway, I didn't use a knife or a stick, let alone beat her, she just hit her head on a tree and died..."

No matter how Xiangxiu is an indiscreet woman, she is dead now, Xie San's mouth is not clean at this time, I really want someone to kick him twice!
Baishou didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore... Even though he knew that Xie San couldn't hear the truth, he decided to see what he had to say. Now he regrets it, this person is a scumbag!
Xie Sanzheng was spitting and talking, then turned around and said "huh", Baishou had long since disappeared.

Yang Yizhi found Li Dazhi's family, which was the closest to Xiangxiu's.

"...I went to a hut and came back. Before I lay down and fell asleep, I heard a knock on the door next door. It took a long time!" said Dazhi Daddy.

"That's right, Dad Dazhi woke me up and asked me who I belonged to. I was in a drowsy sleep. After listening carefully, it was Xiangxiu's family." Dazhiniang recalled, thinking about what happened last night: "You guys I know that Xiangxiu is in our village..." I didn't say anything later, everyone understood, and I was not careful: "...I'm afraid that if someone really wants to ask her for something important, we won't bump into other people's good things by going out. Besides, they No one yelled at home, the two of us discussed it for a while, and then we didn't bother."

It turned out that Dazhi's parents heard Xie San's knock on the door, but they didn't hear Xiangxiu calling for help, and secondly, the knock on the door disappeared later, so they didn't care.Moreover, the mine staff spread the news about Xiangxiu's good relationship with people, and they don't know if they knocked on the door for an appointment or not?
It is also possible that Xiangxiu had already made an appointment with someone, but Xiangxiu fell asleep and didn't hear it.

Li Dashi was in a deep sleep, and he woke up later when he heard his father talking in the main room, and then he heard the knock on the door next door.And he has always been a careless person, he didn't think about other things at all, he only cared about sleeping on his own.

Although Xiangxiu was not liked by the villagers, it was a human life after all. The three of them regretted it a little now. If they got up and took a look, maybe Xiangxiu would not die.

Mai Cao firmly said that her mother has been the same as usual for the past two or three days, and she has not seen anything unusual, or there are signs of suicide.

No one believed that Xiangxiu would suddenly seek death.Obviously, Xie San's words sound a little unreliable.

The mourning hall was set up the first night, and the next day when everyone found out that Xiangxiu had died, they all went to Maicao's house to offer incense after being shocked.

Everyone brought their own paper money, burned incense immediately after entering the house, burned the paper money, and bowed again. I didn’t help you, I’ll burn some more paper money for you after death, you have to take care of what you’ve been sorry about before, you adults don’t remember the villain’s faults... bless our family safe and sound, In the future, if there is anything wrong with wheatgrass, we will definitely help to talk about it..."

And so on and so forth!

Wanwan thinks these people are funny, gossips and curses behind people's back every day when he is alive.He died, but he ran to offer incense and burn paper at the first time, and also came to ask for blessings!

The matter has to be investigated and dealt with, but the funeral cannot be delayed.

Early in the morning, Manager Liu brought five taels of silver and gave it directly to Yang Yizhi: "... Village Chief Yang, you are highly respected in the village, so you can help Miss Mai Cao with her mother's affairs!"

Yang Yizhi gave five taels of silver to Mai Cao, and said kindly: "You are not young anymore, and everything will be up to you from now on. Take this money and bury your mother safely. How to arrange everything is up to you, just tell me if you need help." His voice was a little choked up as he spoke.

Mai Cao's eyes were red and swollen, she silently took the money handed over by Yang Yizhi, and let her tears flow silently.

This made the people of Yangjia Village present feel sad. Such a pretty girl can't speak yet, how will she live in the future?

Yang Yizhi turned cold, turned to look at Guanshi Liu, and said seriously: "We will accept the money, but this matter shouldn't just pass in such a vague way, right? We must give an explanation, right? Although Xiangxiu's death is not due to thank you Sanzhi made a move, but he has a great responsibility."

Liu Guanshi nodded straight: "Yes, but this matter has to wait for the third young master to come back."

Yang Yizhi snorted coldly, he could tell from last night that Xie Xian was not a good guy either.

Early in the morning, Yang Kaishi invited Taoist priests, and in the afternoon, he performed a ritual ceremony in the mourning hall, which was regarded as the salvation of Xiangxiu's soul, and hoped that she would find a good family in the next life.

Burial is scheduled for the next day.

Wanwan stayed with Mai Cao all night. At this time, her eyelids kept fighting, and Yang Yizhi and others asked her to go back to rest.

"The burial is going to be early tomorrow morning, and you have to come to accompany Mai Cao at night, and then call a few young wives." After thinking about it, Yang Yizhi made a few appointments: "Kai Shi, you go back and tell Ling Zi to come over at night. , and Aoba, well, it’s just the three of you, anyway, you usually have a good relationship, so you can discuss anything.”

Wanwan nodded, then left, and after arranging things for the evening, Yang Yizhi thought about the family's problems: "There is only wheat grass, it's really deserted, she and Ge Da are considered husband and wife, let someone send a message , besides, we have to discuss the matter of wheat straw."
