Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 257

The little girl has completely opened up the conversation this time.

"Ms. Li's father left early, and her mother brought Mrs. Li back to her mother's house. Although she went back to her mother's house, Mrs. Li has two uncles who are close to each other. When the time comes, she can live well. At least eat and drink. Don't worry. It's good to have food and drink these days."

"Later, when Mrs. Li reached her age, she was betrothed to that Wang Dabiao by her family."

"Before he married Mrs. Li, Wang Dabiao looked like a decent man. Not to mention his family had a hundred acres of land, he also had the ability to butcher pigs. There was no shortage of meat every year. In our village, he was really a wealthy family. .”

The little girl grunted twice with a straight face, "But Mrs. Li got married, and the dowry was not old or young. At that time, the life of the Li family was better than now. Even the furniture is made of high-quality wood, let alone put it in our village. Even in the county seat, it is a first-class good dowry."

"The first time I married, it was for the sake of the dowry. Wang Dabiao and his mother-in-law, a tiger, treated Madam Li quite well."

"But later Wang Dabiao was taken outside, learned to gamble and drink, and his temper became more and more violent day by day. Mrs. Li was often blamed in the Wang family, beaten and bullied every day."

The little girl choked up, "Miss Li is really not a cowardly person, but her uncle said all day long that she married her husband, and when she came to someone else's house, she should serve her in-laws and her husband well. Well, we have to rely on her uncle to use good medicinal materials to take care of her, she really...has a lot of difficulties."

"In the past few years, when I met Li, I thought it was difficult for Mrs. Li. In the Wang family...because her husband is an asshole, her parents-in-law and mother-in-law also look down on her. The burden of a man, he does hard work every day just to pay off his debts."

"Three years ago, that bastard Wang Dabiao got into trouble outside and got into a fight with others, but he was killed by Yi Qiangliang who passed by. I found out the news that day, and he was cooking more vigorously than before. People like him don't deserve to die. , who deserves to die?"

Seeing the little girl trembling with excitement, Gu Xiang smiled and gave her a freshly roasted pheasant leg.

It's a small one, but it's meat, so it's satisfying to eat. The little girl licked it carefully, making the bones so bright that she couldn't bear to throw it away. She peeked at the black and white flowers and the little persimmon, and hesitated for a while. Immediately said: "You can't eat chicken bones, it will hurt your stomach."

Black and white flower whimpered twice, and lowered its head to gnaw on its lamb bone, which was much bigger than a chicken leg.

The little girl was in a daze, she didn't know what to think of, her expression was tense, and the muscles on her entire face were stiff.

Gu Xiang thought for a while, lifted the little persimmon on his knees and stroked it a few times, and then directed the little girl to touch it too.

The little persimmon is different from ordinary dogs, it is raised to be fleshy, with thin and soft fluff, which is the best time to touch.

Zhaodi's hand was pressed against the little thing's soft fur, and her expression finally calmed down. Gu Xiang then slowly asked: "Is Mrs. Li going to be imprisoned by the Wang family? Come on, what's going on?"

The little girl tightened her fingers again, but she was not as nervous and scared as she thought, and said softly: "Since Wang Dabiao died, Mrs. Li's life is still difficult. Mrs. Wang is always afraid that Mrs. Li will not be guarded by her son. I want to marry again, staring at her all day long, forcing Mrs. Li to work day and night to support their big family of lazy people."

"I met Mrs. Li when I was a child. She was not married at that time... She was very fragrant, completely different from us country people. She is also very beautiful, speaks in a gentle manner, can read, and can Embroidered, the small purse made is very beautiful."

"When I saw her back then, I thought, if only I could grow up to be a gentle and beautiful little lady like Mrs. Li."

"But Mrs. Li is only 20 years old. She has large white hairs on her head and her hands are rough. She no longer embroiders, saying that she is... trashing things. Mrs. Wang also scolded her for being lazy and lazy all day long. She doesn't eat or work, but she does all the work at home, big and small."

"I remember one night, Mrs. Li stood at the gate of Wang's house and cried loudly, saying that it was her dowry that caused Wang Dabiao to misfortune back then, and there was not much left, and she wanted to keep the little left for herself as pension money. , those jewelries were saved by her aunt for her so hard, and it is absolutely impossible to give them to the other boys and girls of the Wang family, she wants to keep them for herself."

"I've never seen her so...loud. But that was the only time that Mrs. Li gradually lost the strength to shout."

"I even felt that she didn't look like herself. Later, the little scholar... oh, the little scholar named Wei Sheng came to our village. Although he was a scholar, he was very poor. At first he came When he was in rags, we all regarded him as a beggar."

"Others pity him, but Mrs. Li is such a good person, but she refuses to pity him, and she never gives him alms. I don't know why. I don't know why. The little scholar has transformed into a doctor, and he can really cure diseases. Once Mrs. Li caught a cold and got very sick, and had to drag her sick body to the river to wash clothes, so he ran to the mountain to pick a bunch of messy grass and tree roots, and boiled them for Mrs. Li to drink."

The little girl curled her lips, "I was there at the time, and I was afraid that he would poison our lady Li to death. I advised Miss Li not to drink it, but Lady Li laughed and drank while laughing."

"I guess, that's when they were on the hook."

The little girl took a careful look at Gu Xiang, looked at her face carefully, and was relieved to see that her expression was soft and there was nothing wrong.

"They got married for more than half a year. Wei Sheng wanted to marry Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li agreed. As a result, the whole Wang family went crazy and refused to say anything."

"Not only the Wang family does not allow it, but the Li family also does not allow it. Mrs. Li's uncle said that the Li family has set up seven chastity archways for more than a hundred years. There can only be chaste women who died in the family, and women who do not obey women's morals are not allowed."

"It is also said that when Lady Li grew up in Li's family, she must abide by the rules of Li's family. There are only two choices, either go to the nunnery with green lanterns and ancient Buddhas, and end this life, or honestly observe the festival for her husband in the Wang family. Serve your in-laws until they grow old."

Zhaodi said these few words in a polite manner, "These words are all said by Mrs. Li's uncle. If you want me to say, it is better to go to the nunnery than to stay in Wang's house. I can't say that it would have been different before, or that when Wang Dabiao just died. The lady agreed, but now it's not possible, Mrs. Li said, she promised Wei Sheng that she would be with him...to be with him? This is a promise, and she never promises easily, but once she promises to others, the promise is like a flame Burning herself must be done, she just wants to be with Wei Sheng."
