Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 159: You want a fight? I will show you mercy.

After the banquet at the Jiang family was over, he remembered what Uncle Yongshan had said about raising the beam two days ago, so he returned to the village. After discussing it with Lu Mingchuan, he went to find a fortune teller to choose a good day, which should be during the "full moon" and "high tide" period, to represent the reunion of the family and the influx of money like the tide.

The time for raising the beam might also be determined based on the birth dates of Yao Qingnian and his family, and the ninth day was finally chosen.

In ancient times, raising the beam was one of the most important ceremonies in the process of building a house. Raising the beam mainly refers to the process of installing the highest beam on the roof of a building. The ancients believed that whether the raising of the beam was smooth was not only related to the firmness of the house structure, but also related to the future prosperity of the residents.

"Uncle Yongshan, my father and I have discussed it and asked a fortuneteller to choose an auspicious day. What do you think?" Yao Qingnian showed him the list of dates.

"Since it is a day that the master has seen, then there is no problem. The ninth day is a good day. I will prepare and steal the beams for you."

There are certain requirements for the selection and felling of beams. Cutting beams is called stealing beams and it must be done in the middle of the night in secret, without letting anyone know. Before cutting beams, one must light incense and candles, burn paper money, and set off firecrackers to pay respect to the mountain god and Master Lu Ban. If there are insects where the axe falls, they cannot be killed but must be driven away or moved away. If the beams being cut are from two trees, the other one must be retained.

The ninth day, the hour of Chen, is very auspicious and suitable for putting up the beams.

The day soon arrived. Early in the morning, Yao Qingnian and his family dressed up. Even Yinuo, who was working at the academy, asked for leave and came back.

Yao Qingnian also sent a message to her mother Lin Qiaofeng. After Lin Qiaofeng received the news, she also came over early in the morning. When Guo heard about it, she followed happily. This beam raising was a good thing, and she also wanted to come and take a look.

"My dear relatives, you are here!" Liu Shuyue and his wife were also very surprised to see Lin Qiaofeng. She had always come here secretly before, fearing that she would be discovered by Yao Qingnian.

"Yes, Qingnian told me that your family is going to have a roof over their heads. How can our family be left out of such an important event? That's why I came here." Except for the time when Yao Qingnian got married, this was the first time she had openly shown her face in front of Yao Qingnian's relatives and friends.

Lu Mingchuan and his wife smiled knowingly. This Huai Jin daughter-in-law has really grown up and knows how to care about and be considerate of her mother.

"Grandma!" Yinuo called sweetly. In the past, the original owner beat and scolded Yinuo. Lin Qiaofeng came to see Yinuo secretly and brought a lot of things. The little guy Yinuo has always remembered them.

"Hey, is that Yinuo? Oh my, the last time grandma saw you, you were playing in the mud in the yard. You were so little, and now you've grown so big." Lin Qiaofeng took out a red envelope from her arms and handed it to Yinuo. Yinuo looked at Yao Qingnian, who motioned for him to accept it. It was a little gift from the old lady to make up for the regrets of these years.

Mrs. Guo stood aside, thinking inwardly, "Where did mother put the silver? My husband and I almost turned the whole floor of our house upside down, but we couldn't find a single copper coin. You took out such a big red envelope to give to an outsider. You must be dissatisfied because you have too much silver and have nowhere to spend it!"

Liu Shuyue noticed Guo beside her: "My dear, is this your daughter-in-law?"

"Mother-in-law." Guo called politely.

"Oh, he's a sensible person." Liu Shuyue replied politely.

"Ladies, let's talk later if you have anything to say. The time for raising the beam is almost here." Yao Qingnian urged.

"You girl, you are so disrespectful in front of your mother-in-law. My daughter has caused you trouble." Lin Qiaofeng said softly in an angry voice.

"We are all family, so there is no need to be so formal. Qing Nian makes me worry less now. You see, she is the one in charge of the household now, and she manages everything in order. I just sit aside and take a break." Liu Shuyue greeted Lin Qiaofeng with a smile. The two of them talked and laughed, just like old sisters who had not seen each other for many years.

Surrounded by everyone in the village, the family came to the new house in a lively manner.

Shi Yongshan and a dozen young men from the village were already waiting there. They all had red cloth wrapped around their waists to ward off evil spirits and protect the house.

"Ge! What are you doing!" Shi Yongshan shouted angrily.

It turned out that when everyone was not paying attention, Ge wanted to cross the beam, but was stopped by Uncle Yongshan. Before the beam was put up, women and children were not allowed to cross the beam, otherwise it would easily bring bad luck.

"Why are you so fierce?! I just want to see if the main beam of my brother's house is solid."

Originally she didn't want to come today, but when she heard that the damn girl had prepared several hundred copper coins to bet on the beam, she shamelessly followed her. Today was a good day, and Lu Mingchuan and his wife couldn't say anything, so they could only let her in.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ge was trying to bring bad luck to others. This was too abominable on such an important day as the day of raising the beam.

"Ge, get out of here. You are not welcome in our home. Today is a good day, don't force me to slap you." Yao Qingnian said coldly and rudely in front of everyone.

"Just get out. Why are you so proud? Do you think I am happy to come here? Humph!" After being exposed, Mrs. Ge patted her butt and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, the red marks on her clothes were clearly seen by everyone.

"Oh! This crazy woman! What bad luck! She..."

Everyone's eyes fell on Ge's side. Ge turned around and covered her butt in embarrassment: "What are you looking at!"

"Damn that bad woman! She dares to come and do something bad on the day when people are putting up the beams. How disgusting!"

"If it were me, I would break her legs and throw her out."

"Ge is sincere, right? She just wanted to sneak over to the main beam to do something bad, and was caught in the act. She still came here to do something bad in Qing Nian's nice house. She is really evil-hearted. The Lu family is really unlucky to have such a woman!"

"Making trouble" means menstruation, just like women and children cannot touch the main beam, these are all very taboo things when it comes to raising the beam. People who are menstruating must avoid it, otherwise it will cause unrest in the host family's home.

Yao Qingnian originally wanted to let her go, but this Ge was really too much. If she didn't beat her up today, she would not be able to calm down: "Ge! Today is such an important day for my family, and you dare to come and make trouble. It seems that the lesson you received last time was not enough! Since you sincerely want to be beaten, then I will show mercy and fulfill your wish!"

Yao Qingnian grabbed Ge and beat her violently, making her scream and cry for her parents, and run around holding her head, but no one present sympathized with her.

Ge ran to Lu Minghai and Lu Shuangshuang and shouted at the top of her voice: "You are all dead, why don't you quickly stop Yao Qingnian, the vicious woman."

The father and daughter were indifferent. After what Ge had done, they were too ashamed to face Lu Mingchuan's family, so they dodged and let Yao Qingnian beat her.

Finally, Ge had no choice but to ask the village chief to save her: "Village chief, please take care of Yao Qingnian. She is going to beat me to death."

"You bad woman, you do nothing but cause chaos in the village, you deserve to be beaten!" After saying this, the village chief turned around with his hands behind his back and ignored her wailing.

Ge was beaten so badly that her face was bruised and her hands were broken. After Yao Qingnian stopped beating her, he said to everyone, "From now on, Ge is no longer my aunt. I will cut off all contact with her, not even as an ordinary villager. If she steps into my house again, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, he threw Ge out without any hesitation and kicked her far away. Ge lay on the ground and kept crying out, but no one paid attention to her. The sound was extremely harsh, so the village chief simply asked Lu Minghai to take her home so as not to affect Yao Qingnian's good life.

Lu Minghai had a sullen face and dragged Ge back.
