The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 19 Fraudulently Accused

After Li's family visit, Daya could only continue to work hard with her two younger sisters.

The rice grains in the fields begin to bloom, attracting insects and mice. They cannot attract water from the fields during the day, and can only be dried at night.

Of course, Acer can't let the dolls go to guard at night. After dinner, he will go to the fields and divert the water from the ditch to the fields.

Lai also once went in and looked through clothes and shoes when the three older dolls were not around, but he couldn't find them no matter how he looked.

The first time I turned the page, I wanted to hit Siwa, but Siwa didn't dare to cry or hide, and looked at Mrs. Lai timidly.

“Wow wow wow wow”

Ye Shiqi's sudden crying sound attracted Acer, and was told by this somewhat conscientious father Lai Shiqi.

Later, Mrs. Lai came and walked away quietly. In fact, she wanted to see if Mrs. Li had saved private money in addition to flipping through the clothes.

I can't believe that Mrs. Li went to the county seat for a month. She didn't make any money as an errand in a big family's house, but only got some items.

Ye Shiqi's role here is to pretend to cry and sell stupid, his father's room has nothing, and the only better clothes and shoes are hidden by her.

When the night came, she would take out the two books for reading and writing under her buttocks. In fact, she was afraid that her grandmother would turn it over and put it in her space. Taking out the books under her buttocks was just a cover for people's eyes.

Daya, who was tired all day, took her three younger sisters, together with Wuwa, to enjoy reading and reading books under the oil lamp.

Acer stopped carpentry work at night. This is the only time he can take a break. He will teach children while reading books. He does not know many words.

Drawing lines for woodworking is a trick that craftsmen must understand.

"Don't go to bed soon, there is no cost to light the oil lamp!"

Often when they are fascinated and happiest, Lai's scolding will be heard next door to them.

"Dolls, go to sleep! I'm going to tell you a story today, so I'll stop here, and we'll continue tomorrow!" Acer was tired as he talked, and he heard the mother's scolding, so he arranged the dolls to sleep.

Daya took her sisters to sleep obediently. Before they fell asleep, they looked at the top of the mosquito net and told the stories that their father told them in the book. If they were like princesses in fairy tales, wouldn't they be as miserable as they are now?
Neither Daya nor her sisters expressed their complaints. Their family's attitude towards girls may be special in the village.

But other families treat boys better than girls. As girls, under the treatment of elders, they are more inferior and hardworking.

……

Li returned to the yard of the young son of Tang Mansion. The young son was restless in his sleep, and his face was a little red, which was a symptom of a fever.

She could only wait by the side, and after a day, the little boy subsided, and he was always sticking to her.

After the little son was healed, Mrs. Li once again carried the little son to the eldest lady's courtyard.

"Ms. Li, I didn't expect the young master to stick to you so much. How can you do it? You can visit relatives once a month, and you can't leave the little son behind in the future."

"Madam, visiting relatives once a month is the only chance for a little woman to see the dolls, you don't know! The dolls in the family are so pitiful, the oldest is eight years old, the youngest is only more than two months old, the older The three go out to work every day, no matter if it is sunny or rainy, I am not at home and do so much work, which is on their little bodies."

Tears fell while Li said that.

The eldest lady, who is also a mother, frowned. As a rich lady, she did not endure hardships, but she knew that some poor people were more difficult. She asked someone to investigate Li's family. The father and son should have good woodworking skills. Income, and the monthly money from Li's work, the family should be living well.

"Your mother-in-law? What about the two sisters-in-law at home? They are adults, how can you let a few little babies go out to do things?"

"They're all staying home..."

"It's really deceiving, what about your husband? Does the family treat the children like this, don't they care?"

"My husband is more filial, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law watch the money for carpentry at home."

"Miss Li, you're just a servant. I can't treat you too well. I can only reward you with some things and money. It will be better when the young master is older."

"Yes……"

The eldest lady also had some gifts for Mrs. Li, including fabrics and cotton.

"Thank you, Madam." Seeing these things, Mrs. Li thought of the children's winter clothes. Every year, the children tried on thin things and often caught a cold.

Li took the things back to the yard and got a lot of jealous eyes.

She took the young master to the yard of the young mistress again, and was reprimanded by the young mistress.

The young lady sat on the round chair in the hall, with soft pillows against her back, and looked sternly at Mrs. Li, who was holding the young master.

The maid hugged the little boy in Li's arms.

"Miss Li, do you know what's wrong?"

"Young mistress, Mrs. Li is wrong..." Mrs. Li guessed that the young master that the young lady said was the responsibility for the fever.

"If you know what you're wrong, you must correct it. The young master is still young, so why did you get hot after you went out? Did you not take him well? You already had a fever before you went home? You actually see the young man having a fever, and you don't care if he insists on going home. ."

"The little woman dare not. The little woman did see the young master well before she went home. He was still awake at that time."

"I'm still quibbling. The maid reported that when the little boy was hot, all the doors and windows of the little boy's room were open, and the weather started to get a little colder. Why are you so careless?"

"Young grandmother, this is wrong for the little woman. When the little woman left, the door of the little master was closed, and the windows were only opened a little, not all the doors and windows were open."

After listening to the young lady's words, Mrs. Li understood why the young master had a fever after she left. It turned out to be caused by a cold, but it was difficult to understand why the doors and windows were open.
"Ms. Li, I thought you were very honest before, so I kept you by your side. I didn't expect that you not only didn't pay attention, but you still don't admit the sophistry. The people around you said that it was you who didn't pay attention. It will cause the little boy to have a fever."

"Young mistress, when I left, I ordered the maid to take good pictures of the young master. I didn't speculate on the responsibility. The little woman really felt wronged."

"Ms. Li, I can take what one or two maids said, but everyone in the little son's yard said that, that's your fault."

"Young mistress, whether it's a frame or not, it's the responsibility of the young master to be hot and the little woman. I will pay attention to it in the future." Mrs. Li began to understand a little that she is weak and weak. This time someone deliberately framed her for injustice, not only A person, a yard, wants her to go.

"Miss Li, you said you made a mistake, how can you punish you? Then you will be punished for the thing you care about the most, one day of family holiday next month, and you will be punished for not being able to go back to visit relatives, and the young grandmother of the monthly money book will send someone to send it back. "

The smug face of the young lady and the maid next to her smiled smugly. Seeing Li Shi's flustered face, with that sad expression, they were very happy in their hearts.
