Stone Brook Village!

In midsummer, the sun hangs in the sky like a fireball, the chirping of cicadas fills the entire village, widows and men act recklessly in the haystacks, and big yellow dogs hang out their tongues.

The crops in the fields were drooping, and their leaves were curled.

In the low and dilapidated old earthen house, the light is dim and the air smells of dryness and earth.

"Qingshan, you are drunk, my aunt will help you go to the room to rest!"

Mr. Zhao Gui and his wife looked at each other, flashed a hint of cunning, and walked towards their daughter-in-law's room with Li Qingshan, who was drunk and smelling of alcohol.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The drunkenness in my mind has gone away. Looking at the familiar scene in front of me, my memory quickly goes back.

This day.

Mr. Zhao Gui and his wife planned their own homestead and house. After getting themselves, a famous second-rate man, drunk, they took off his clothes and threw them on the bed of their daughter-in-law Wang Naixiang.

“Then the thief shouted to catch the thief, and unless he said that he had raped his daughter-in-law, and unless he compensated them for the newly built house at home, he would call the police. This was at least an attempted rape.

After all, Li Qingshan’s reputation in the village was not good to begin with!

Fortunately, Wang Naixiang explained in time and avoided jail.

But the reputation of the two is terrible.

“ Moreover, Wang Naixiang disrupted the plans of her parents-in-law and was beaten and abused every day at home, making it difficult for others to intervene.

​ One month later.

Wang Naixiang couldn't bear the gossip from the villagers and the abuse from her husband's family, so she committed suicide by jumping into the river.

However, Zhao Gui’s family believed that they had killed their daughter-in-law, and they came to her door every day to make trouble. In addition, because of her bad reputation, it was almost impossible to find a wife locally, so they had to leave their hometown to make a living.

"It was a blessing in disguise that I became a disciple of an old Taoist priest, received the inheritance of Taoist medicine, and also learned some other methods such as hunting, and even earned the title of No. 1 Cannon.

When this life comes back, Zhao and Gui must pay the price!

"Okay, hurry up and call someone. We finally got the new house from Lao Li's house. It's enough to pay off our son's gambling debt."

After Zhao Gui and his wife threw Li Qingshan on the bed, they hurried out to call for someone.

Son, gambling debt?

Li Qingshan, who was lying on the bed, recalled it again.

The old couple should be talking about their youngest son. The eldest son was killed by a cannon on their wedding day!

Talk about it.

Wang Naixiang, the little widow is still a baby!

Zhao Gui’s eldest son was also unlucky. When he got married, he made a big firecracker. When it exploded, there happened to be an iron nail next to it. It pierced his chest and disappeared. Wang Naixiang also remained a widow for three years.

The creditor of Zhao Gui’s family is the village tyrant, Li Hu!

That day, Wang Naixiang proved her innocence, and Zhao Gui's youngest son's gambling debt could not be repaid. Li Hu asked Wang Naixiang to be his wife. As long as Wang Naixiang was willing, all debts could be written off.

Wang Naixiang naturally doesn’t want to.

Every night, you can hear the sound of the Zhao family’s parents-in-law beating and scolding Wang Naixiang.

This is also the main reason why Wang Naixiang couldn't bear it and committed suicide by jumping into the river.

The day before jumping into the river.

Wang Naixiang found herself and confided in herself that she wanted to take her away from here and elope, but her cowardly self did not dare to agree. Page (1/3)
