Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 195 Poison Oath

The girl was about to step into the ancestral hall when she paused. She bit her lip, a huge feeling of shame surged in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

When my young cousin was still young and ignorant, he didn’t understand what it meant to have poor personal ethics. When he saw his cousin crying, he couldn’t help but turn around and curse the person who was speaking.

"Aunt, you're a bad person!" The child couldn't think of any fancy words to curse, and after holding it in for a long time, he could only say "bad person", but it made the other party scream.

"Oh, I really meant well but ended up doing something bad. Girl from the Huang family, you've been taken out by that barbarian for the whole night, and your body is not clean anymore. If someone like you enters the ancestral hall, I'm afraid you'll disturb the peace of our ancestors."

There were several girls and boys around who were about to enter the ancestral hall to look for the bodies of their relatives. They all stopped when they heard the words. Just when everyone was in a dilemma, a girl suddenly rushed out of the crowd and slapped the person who was speaking in the face. Before she could come to her senses, she was slapped again.

The woman was stunned by the two slaps, and the people around her didn't expect someone to come and hit them, so they all didn't react. By the time they rushed up to separate the two, the woman was already riding on the woman and slapping her left and right, seven or eight times. The woman's cheeks were swollen like a pig's head.

After they pulled the people apart, they discovered that this girl and that woman were actually relatives. And judging from the hatred in the girl's eyes, this woman must have done something to let that girl down.

The woman has never had a good reputation in the village, so no one stood on her side. The village chief's son then acted as a peacemaker and stepped out to smooth things over.

"We are all relatives, so if you have anything to say, just talk it out. Why bother with violence? Huang's girl, this is still your aunt. Considering that you just came back and were frightened, let's just let this matter go. What do you think?"

"Hmph, okay? It's not my decision. I can't let this matter go unsolved." The girl burst into tears and then told the whole story of what happened last night.

In the north, it is an unwritten rule that the family does not split up while the elders are still alive. The Huang girl's grandparents are still alive, so they have not split up the family. The whole family lives in one yard. There are not many people in their family, so they can live together. On weekdays, with the grandparents keeping an eye on them at home, the woman does not dare to act unruly in front of her parents-in-law.

"Last night, when the barbarians came, this bitch ran away to save her life, and she also locked grandpa and grandma in the house to hold the barbarians. Not only did she run away by herself, but she also pulled my sister and me out from our hiding places. My poor parents died at the hands of the barbarians to save grandpa and grandma. My sister was only eleven years old and was tortured to death by the barbarians. She died in front of me with her eyes wide open. She couldn't close her eyes!"

Every word the Huang family girl said was heart-wrenching, and everyone who heard her words was shocked.

The most shocked was the village chief's son. He never expected that someone could be so vicious that, in order to save his own life, he locked the old man in the house and dragged his niece to be his backup. He didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the guilty expression of the woman, the village chief's son immediately understood that what the Huang family girl said was true, and this evil woman actually did such a thing.

"Hu Zi's mother, did you really do these things?"

The woman tried to argue: "You believe what a little girl said? Humph, have you gone insane because you were abused? I'm telling you, I'm pregnant with the only child of your Huang family. Huzi and his brother are gone, so I'm the only child of your Huang family. If you dare to wrongly accuse me, I'll abort him and make your Huang family childless!"

Now it was the Huang family's girl's turn to be stunned. She had never expected that her aunt would be pregnant at this time. She was at a loss for a moment. Now all the men in their family had died, leaving only two women. If what the woman said was true, and the baby in her belly was a boy, he would be the only heir to their family.

The girl from the Huang family stared at the woman's belly with a complicated look in her eyes, feeling both unwilling and helpless.

The woman was very proud at the moment. She threatened the girl from the Huang family with the child in her belly and was not afraid that she would not compromise.

Just as the girl was struggling with her thoughts, Song Chunlin, who had been watching the show for a long time, could no longer bear it and spoke up: "You are so arrogant. Your surname is not Huang. What right do you have to say that you are pregnant with the only child of the Huang family? You can give birth, but can't she? If she wants, she can give birth to more than one, ten or eight children. It would be easy for her, and we can guarantee that all the children born will be of our family's bloodline. Can you do that?"

Song Chunlin's words awakened the dreamer. Yes, it was not her who could give birth. The girl from the Huang family could also do it. As long as she could find a man or a young lady who did not despise her past and was willing to marry into the family, she could have as many children as she wanted to ensure the purity of her own family line. Why bother with the struggle of having a fetus of unknown gender?

After hearing what Song Chunlin said, the woman started to curse angrily: "What do you know, you little brat? How many men would be interested in her, a fallen woman? Humph, she still wants to have a baby? Bah, is she worthy of that?"

Song Chunlin was rarely scolded by others. The woman's fingers were about to poke him in the face. Song Chunlin was a little annoyed. Before he could make a move, the garrison soldier who was following him had already drawn his knife and almost cut off the woman's fingers.

"Ouch, I'm so scared!" The woman took a few steps back and realized that the person she had just scolded was not an ordinary person. There were even several soldiers following him. She thought to herself that it was not good and it seemed like she had hit a wall today.

The girl from the Huang family stepped forward and stood in front of Song Chunlin.

"I may be a fallen woman, but I am young and sooner or later I will find someone who doesn't despise me. Besides, it's all because of you that I have become what I am now. You keep saying that I wronged you, but do you dare to swear to heaven that you didn't lock grandpa and grandma in the house, and that you didn't drag me and my sister out from our hiding place?"

The Huang family girl stared at her and snorted coldly: "You don't dare, do you? I dare!" Then she turned around and walked quickly to the ancestral hall, facing the ancestral tablets on the wall and the corpses on the ground, and raised three fingers:

"I, Huang Cuizhu, swear to heaven that everything I said today is true. If I tell even a single lie and wrongly accuse my aunt, I will be struck by five thunderbolts and torn into pieces by five horses. My descendants will be slaves for generations and will not have a good end."

After swearing the oath, Huang Cuizhu turned around and said coldly to her aunt who was feeling guilty and wanted to escape: "It's your turn, aunt."
