Chapter 433 The Excitement of the Sisters
Three days later.
At the entrance of Naye Deng's Ancestral Hall, more than a dozen large iron pots are cooking meat on a makeshift stove. The smell of meat fills the air. It is definitely an exaggeration to say that the fragrance can spread for ten miles, but it can indeed be smelled within dozens of meters. The smell of meat comes.
On the wide ground at the entrance of the ancestral hall, there were hundreds of tables and chairs. On the tables were placed candies, biscuits, melon seeds, peanuts, teapots, tea cups, etc.
Today is the day to call my aunt back to hold a clan meeting.
With the current financial resources of the Nayedeng family, if they call back hundreds of married sisters, they will definitely have to prepare a banquet to entertain these sisters.
Because the aunts are married far away, the time to come back will naturally vary. Anyway, the meeting time is set at three o'clock in the afternoon. As long as the aunts are married in this city, they will have enough time to come back.
As for the other aunts who are married far away, if it is convenient to come back, it is best to come back. If it is not convenient, then it is okay not to come back. The same goes for asking the relatives of these aunts to relay the contents of the clan meeting to them.
At noon, the whole clan eats pig red porridge at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
This porridge is the same as social porridge. The meat is cooked in a large pot, and then the broth is used to cook the porridge. When it is about to be cooked, pig red (blood) is added to adjust the flavor, and it is a pot of extremely delicious pig red. Porridge.
By this time, most of the aunts had already arrived.
They gathered together with their relatives, eating delicious pig-red porridge and chatting about daily life.
Among the many aunts, the one who attracted the most attention was Deng Changyuan, who was married to Potou Village, Longtan Town.
Because this clan meeting could be said to be held because of her, all the clan members knew that she was beaten by her husband, and then the clan leader personally led people to beat her husband so hard that he was knocked to his knees. beg for mercy.
Now that we see Deng Changyuan, everyone naturally wants to ask the person involved in person and hear what happened next.
This is a clan meeting specially held for aunts. The sisters Deng Yunzhen and Deng Yunzhu are now married aunts. Now that their father is going to hold a clan meeting for all the married aunts of the Naye Deng family, they will naturally also Want to come back to participate.
Relatives gathered together to chat, and the time passed quite quickly.
Unknowingly, the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon.
Deng Shirong came on the stage and looked at the more than 3,000 clan members and hundreds of aunts below. He said straight to the point: "Every married aunt and eldest sister, the clan has called you back to hold a clan meeting today for one purpose, and that is to provide You support me so that no one in your husband’s family dares to bully you.”
As soon as these words came out, the hundreds of aunts below became excited.
Although their parents and relatives had already told them about this matter when they returned to their parents' home for the clan meeting today, they still couldn't help but be excited when they heard it from the clan leader himself.
Deng Shirong continued: "Our Naye Deng clan is now the most famous clan in the entire Bobai County. It is a clan that no other surname dares to offend. Outside, as long as it is said to be a member of the Naye Deng clan, no matter which surname it is, it will have to be punished by three people." Facets.”
Hearing this, the clan members were filled with pride. What the clan leader said was no exaggeration at all. Now that they are out and about, whether in the county or in various towns, as long as they say that they are members of the Nayedeng clan, others will Give them cigarettes.
"However, what I didn't expect was that no one dared to bully our Yedeng family members, but some people dared to beat our married sister of the Yedeng family over and over again for no reason."
Deng Shirong said in a deep voice: "Every aunt must have known what happened three days ago. Our aunt Deng Changyuan, who was married in Naye Village, was beaten several times by her husband for no reason in the past two or three years, especially in the past three days. He was even more arrogant before.
Therefore, I personally took people to Potou Village and beat A-Yuanmei’s arrogant husband until he knelt down and begged for mercy, and vowed never to beat A-Yuanmei again in the future. "
All the clan members and aunts smiled when they heard this. What happened three days ago was indeed a great relief for the clan members and aunts. They went directly to his house and beat him to the ground in front of the whole village. Begging for mercy feels good just thinking about it.
My only regret is that I didn’t see it with my own eyes.
Deng Shirong continued: "After experiencing this incident, I was wondering whether the hundreds of sisters married by our Ye Deng family were also beaten by their husbands? Even not just once or twice, but Beating again and again?
Because not every aunt has so many brothers to support her, and some aunts are beaten by their husbands. They may be embarrassed to tell their parents about it. First, they are afraid that their parents will not be able to support them. Second, they are afraid that their parents will not be able to support them. I feel that this kind of thing is embarrassing, so I won’t say it if I can. "
Hearing this, Deng Sifang's expression changed slightly as he was sitting below.
She has been married for seven or eight years now, and her husband is pretty good to her. Unfortunately, her husband also plays one of the "whoring, gambling, drinking and blowing" categories, and that is drinking.
Originally, drinking in moderation was a good thing, but her husband couldn't control himself when he drank, and nine times out of ten he would drink too much.
If the wine was good, it would be okay to sleep after drinking too much. But her husband's wine was particularly bad. When he drank too much, he seemed to be a different person. Everything had to go with him. If anything went against his will, he would hit people. She had lost count of how many times she had been beaten in this situation.
Every time he beat her, after he sobered up, he kept admitting his mistake to her.
To be honest, Deng Sifang was really scared and tired of this kind of life where she could be beaten for no reason at any time.
She thought about divorce, but rural people in this era rarely divorced, not to mention that the two of them also had two or three children. What would happen to the children after the divorce?
I also thought about telling my parents about these things, but what's the point?
She only has one brother, while her husband's family has four or five brothers, and the houses they built are all connected. How can her brother support her?
In addition, she is indeed afraid of being embarrassed as the clan leader said.
Therefore, Deng Sifang has been enduring for the past few years, but she really doesn't want to live like this for a day, but she has no choice.
At this time, the clan leader's words can be said to have touched her heart.
On the stage, Deng Shirong continued, "I think among the hundreds of aunts in our Naye Deng family, there is a high possibility that some of them are suffering from domestic violence, so I specially convened this aunt clan meeting today to lead the whole clan to support all our aunts.
From now on, if anyone dares to hit our Naye Deng aunt again, I will personally lead people to deal with him.
However, there is one thing that needs to be made clear, you have to be ruthless. If he hits you again and again, and you still feel sorry for him and don't want us to deal with him, it's like Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai, one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.
As long as you are ruthless, we will beat him into whatever you want, even if it means breaking his hands and feet.
In short, from now on, our Naye Deng clan of more than 3,000 people will be your strongest backing.
With us here, no one can bully you."
As soon as these words came out, the blood of the clan members was boiling.
"Jiu Gong said it well. If anyone dares to hit our aunt from the Deng family again, we will definitely teach them a lesson."
"That's right. No matter who it is, if they dare to touch our aunt again, we will beat them until they kneel down and beg for mercy."
"My dear aunts, do you want us brothers to take action now?"
"..."
The clan members are very proud to support the married aunts. They are very motivated and wish they could find a suitable target for them to take action now.
The aunts were also very excited when they heard the words. With the statement of the clan leader, they will have a talisman from now on. If they go back and tell their husbands about the content of this clan meeting, it will be strange if they don't scare them half to death.
Especially the aunts like Deng Sifang who have been beaten countless times by their husbands, they are all in tears. They finally have the support of their natal family, and not just one or two, but more than 3,000 people from the entire clan stand behind them. That confidence is really sufficient.
They did not immediately stand up and ask their brothers to support them, but planned to give their husbands one last chance. If they did not hit them again from now on, then the past would be the past. If they still dared to hit them under such circumstances, then don’t blame them for being merciless.
After everyone had finished discussing, Deng Shirong on the stage spoke again: "Fellow clansmen, as the saying goes, "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you." We are holding a clan meeting for the aunts here to support the aunts of our Naye Deng family, so that they will not be bullied by their in-laws, and their husbands will not beat them again and again.
Since we don't want our aunts to be beaten like this, we should also take this as a warning and not beat other people's aunts.
So, from now on, all clansmen should get along well with their wives. If there is a conflict between husband and wife for any reason, it is okay to quarrel. No one will care about you even if you quarrel to the sky, but you must remember that you must never beat your wife.
If I know who in the clan beats his wife, then the person who beats his wife must be prepared to kneel in the ancestral hall."
As soon as these words came out, the clansmen were as if they were strangled by the neck and instantly silenced.
The wives of the Deng family present were stunned at first, and then shouted excitedly:
"Long live the Ninth Lord!"
"Long live the Ninth Ancestor!"
"Long live the clan leader!"
It's no wonder that these wives were excited. The clan leader's words were supporting them!
Although the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall is not as good as being beaten to kneel down and beg for mercy, they are satisfied in their hearts.
After all, kneeling in the ancestral hall in front of the whole family, I believe that few people can afford to lose face.
So with the words of the clan leader, they are really satisfied. This is equivalent to giving them an insurance policy. From now on, they don't have to worry about being bullied in their husband's family.
Deng Shirong said with a serious look: "Also, our Naye Deng clan is a reasonable people. Today we support all the married sisters, but this support is only to prevent you from being bullied by your husband's family and beaten by your husband, not to let you bully your husband's family or your husband in turn.
You must remember this clearly. If you use the title of Naye Deng clan sister to bully your husband's family, don't blame the clan for not recognizing you as a sister.
In a word, I will not offend others if others do not offend me. Everything is just a matter of reason. As long as you are right, the more than 3,000 people in the clan will be your strongest backing."
It is very necessary to support the sisters. Doing so can improve the cohesion of the whole clan, and the married sisters are also proud of being from the Naye Deng clan.
But supporting the aunts is not without principles. If the married aunt bullies others in her husband's family, if the clan still supports her, it will bring discredit to the clan. As the clan leader, Deng Shirong must make it clear in advance to prevent it from happening.
Hearing this, hundreds of aunts expressed their opinions. Of course, they would not act arrogantly in their husband's family. They just needed to ensure that they would not be bullied.
After the aunts had finished talking, Deng Shirong continued: "What I just talked about was force, which can ensure that your aunts will not be bullied by anyone in your husband's family. What I want to talk to you next is financial resources."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, a little confused as to what the clan leader wanted to say.
"Having force can only make people fear you, but having financial resources can ensure that your sisters will be liked and respected by their husbands and in-laws' families." It can be said that Deng Shirong said this out of emotion. In the era when money was supreme in later generations, basically Everything is tied to money.
Take the elderly people in future generations as an example. If you don’t have retirement pay when you get old, and you can’t help your son and daughter-in-law, and you can’t reflect your own value, and you completely need to be supported by your son and daughter-in-law, then there are eight out of ten brothers in the family. Nine will appear "kicking the ball" phenomenon.
Anyway, this one doesn’t want to raise it, and the other one doesn’t want to raise it.
Even if several sons take turns to support them, it can be called filial piety if the daughters-in-law can feed the elderly what they eat. Only a few daughters-in-law can greet their parents-in-law and cook the meals they want.
However, if the elderly have a retirement salary of several thousand or even tens of thousands per month, then the sons and daughters-in-law will rush to support them, and each of them will behave in a filial manner. I'm afraid my parents are not that concerned.
Why does this happen?
To put it bluntly, it’s just one word – money.
It’s not just the case of the old man. If you add the word “money” to it, you will find that 90% of the people and things in the world are inseparable from the word “money”.
If you are poor in the busy city, no one will care about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives. This is the truth.
When Deng Shirong convened this aunt clan meeting, he considered an issue, that is, using force to support his aunts. Of course, it would make people dare not bully their aunts from the Deng clan, but he wanted to make those aunts dare not bully them. For married aunts like Deng's to be respected in their husband's family and live a good life, they have to mention the word "money".
"So, I decided to set up an aunt brewery under the name of our Deng Group, and use part of the profits to distribute dividends to the aunts every year, so that every aunt in our Deng family, no matter what You don’t have to do anything, the dividends you get every year are enough for you to live a good life.”
Speaking of this, Deng Shirong smiled and said: "We have the deterrence of force and the temptation of financial resources. With such conditions, if you can't get the respect of your husband's family, then you are your own waste. I believe that our Deng family There is no such a useless aunt."
As soon as these words were spoken, at least half of the hundreds of girls in the audience stood up in excitement.
They never expected that the clan leader would give them such great support. As mentioned earlier, the whole clan would be the backing for their sisters, so that they would no longer be bullied by their in-laws or husbands. This made them overjoyed. .
Now, a brewery has been set up specifically for them so that they can receive dividends every year. This is simply a blessing from heaven!
Although everyone in the Naye Deng family is now rich, and every family's savings have exceeded 100,000, as the saying goes, a married daughter is like water thrown out. Just because the mother's family is rich does not mean that these married sisters are also rich.
Even the parents who love their daughters have limited support for their daughters. They can't compare with their sons, let alone the older aunts whose parents are no longer around. They only have brothers in their natal family. , and the help that brothers can give is even more limited.
Therefore, there were many aunts present, and their family’s financial conditions were not good.
And now, the clan leader has set up a brewery specifically for these aunts, so that they can receive a dividend every year. For most aunts who are not in very good economic conditions, this is really a blessing from heaven.
"Jiu Gong, are you serious? Can we really get dividends every year?"
"Jiu Gong, don't worry. We are not such useless people. We have the support of all the brothers in the clan, and we get dividends every year. When I return to my husband's house, who will dare to look down on us?"
"Clan leader, when was this brewery established?"
"Clan leader, do we need to invest money to establish the brewery?"
"Head of the clan..."
After the aunts were excited, they all couldn't wait to ask questions.
Hearing the inquiries from his aunts, Deng Shirong said with a smile on his face: "Aunts, you don't need to invest money, because this brewery also belongs to our Deng's Group, so the money can be invested by the Deng's Group.
Another thing I want to state in advance is that the amount of the dividend will be adjusted according to the actual situation, which can ensure that all sisters can live a good life. However, it is impossible to get rich with this dividend. If you want to become a truly rich person, You still have to work hard on your own, understand? "
"Head of the clan, we understand that we can get a dividend that allows us to live a good life without paying anything, and we are already satisfied."
"Head of the clan, you have provided us with the best conditions, and we will work hard."
"I am so happy to be the aunt of the Nayedeng family."
"..."
The sisters all expressed their opinions. They all live in Bobai, where boys are valued over girls. They have understood since they were young that everything in their parents' families belongs to their brothers and has nothing to do with their married daughters, so the girls really don't have that insatiable mentality. .
Because what the clan leader has given them now has exceeded their expectations.
Deng Shirong nodded secretly. He provided dividends to these married sisters, on the one hand to improve the cohesion of the Naye Deng family, and on the other hand for the influence of the Naye Deng family. He believed that this matter would soon spread throughout the county and let the sisters of other surnames talk about it with relish.
However, the help given to the sisters should be limited. We cannot unconditionally pull so many sisters to get rich. This depends on their own efforts, not direct gifts from the clan.
This clan meeting is coming to an end.
Originally, Deng Shirong wanted to propose the establishment of an "Aunt Returning Festival", with a fixed time every year for all married sisters to return to their parents' home for the festival, but considering that the brewery has not been established yet and the sisters have not received dividends, it is still too early to establish the "Aunt Returning Festival" now.
When the sisters start to receive dividends, the day of receiving dividends will be fixed as the "Aunt Returning Festival" of the Naye Deng family, which will be a natural thing.
After the clan meeting, the next thing was to eat and drink.
In order to entertain the aunts who came back to their parents' home, the clan prepared a very rich meal, and the whole clan was in jubilation this afternoon.
After eating and drinking, the aunts who lived closer couldn't wait to go back to their husband's home. They wanted to tell their husbands and children the good news.
And those who lived a little further away stayed at their parents' home for one night, and it would not be too late to go back to their husband's home tomorrow.
…
Deng Yunzhen is 65 years old this year and is one of the older aunts of the Naye Deng family.
When she was still a baby, due to the chaos and numerous bandits, one year her mother carried her and fled overnight in order to "run away from thieves".
Along the way, the extremely sharp weeds cut her legs and made them bleed. At that time, she cried desperately in pain, but her mother was running for her life, flustered, and would not pay attention to these things carefully. She just covered her mouth and fled all night.
As a baby, Deng Yunzhen naturally had no impression of how much pain she suffered that night, but that night left her with a considerable sequelae. Her right leg became a cripple because it was not treated in time.
Fortunately, in her era, many men could not marry wives. Although she was a cripple, it was not difficult for her to find a husband.
Not to mention the ups and downs in her first half of life, now she is old and can't do any work because of her inconvenient legs and feet, which makes her three daughters-in-law despise her.
In recent years, everyone in her natal family has made a fortune, but unfortunately, not only her parents are gone, but also her only brother is gone. The remaining sisters-in-law and nephews from her natal family are not so close after all, and they can't help her much.
At most, her nephews give her some money during the New Year and festivals.
Originally, she was still worried about the future. After all, judging from the performance of her three daughters-in-law, if she could not take care of herself in the future, no one would be willing to take care of her. Her son was willing to take care of her, but he had to go out to make money every day, so he could not take care of her as well as the daughters-in-law who stayed at home.
As a result, she never expected that the head of the Deng family would call all the married aunts back to support them, and set up a brewery to give them dividends unconditionally every year.
For Deng Yunzhen, this was like a pillow when she was sleepy.
With the confidence given by the family, her life in her later years would definitely not be too bad.
She couldn't wait to go back and see what the three daughters-in-law would look like when they knew that she could get dividends from the family every year?
