Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 77

Jin Meiyu didn't think about it at first, but the reason behind it was because Jin Liangshun said more than once that there were no girls in their family for three generations, and Jin Meiyu was the only one.

But there were so many coincidences that she couldn't help but become suspicious.

Granny Jin shook her head.

"I'm an adopted daughter."

Adopted daughter of what?

"The adopted daughter of the Jin family?"

Granny Jin nodded this time, yes, the adopted daughter of the Jin family.

Jin Meiyu felt confused again.

"Are you the adopted daughter of the Jin family? Who is Daddy's?"

"It doesn't matter. Although our adopted daughters are surnamed Jin, they have an independent genealogy. After death, they will be buried with their masters."

"Does the Jin family have many adopted daughters? Who is your master?"

Granny Jin looked away and did not answer the second question.

"The Jin family has many adopted daughters, but many of them are married and have children when they are old. Only a very small number of extremely outstanding ones will be kept. They will have Jin's surname, and they will be recruited to stay in the mansion. When they are old, they will follow the master. "

Jin Meiyu seemed to understand, and wanted to ask more questions, but she saw the people collecting grain from a distance.

This time it was Xie Liang who came to pick up Jin Meiyu, but this time, they were no longer wearing ordinary clothes, but military uniforms of the guards.

Xie Liang's clothes were a little different from the others. Jin Meiyu didn't understand these things, so she didn't ask. When she saw Xie Liang again, her eyes lit up, as if seeing 100 taels of silver.

Before Xie Liang walked in, Jin Meiyu asked.

"What fish are you going to catch this time? Have you brought 100 taels?"

Xie Liang patted his chest, and signaled to Jin Meiyu that the money is with him and cannot escape.

"Don't worry, I have all the money with me. You must be indispensable. If it goes well this time, I can give you another 50 taels as thank you silver!"

Jin Meiyu was happier now.

"No problem, let's go!"

"Wait, who is this?"

Jin Meiyu looked at Granny Jin and said it without thinking.

"This is Granny Jin, the adopted daughter of the Jin family."

Xie Liang blinked his eyes, feeling that this sentence was a bit strange.

But it's normal for children to say something strange.

Her surname is Jin, and she is the adopted daughter of the Jin family, so she should be a relative.Looking at Granny Jin's age, she should be the elder of the family.

Since he is the elder of the family, he followed out because he was worried about his own children, afraid that his children would be cheated by others.

It was normal to think so, so he nodded.

"Then, let's go. It's just that this time the distance is a bit long. We have to ride a horse. Do you want to ride with me?" Xie Liang asked Jin Meiyu, but before Jin Meiyu could answer, Grandma Jin spoke.

"She rides with me, and I can ride a horse."

Grandma Jin looked at the tall and burly man, Xie Liang hesitated for a moment, but did not refute.

"Okay then, I'll ask someone to spare a horse for you."

Xie Liang and the others were in a hurry and planned to leave without much communication.

Jin Mangu was also there, but this time it was obvious that he couldn't follow. Before leaving, she sat on the horse, and Granny Jin spoke to Jin Mangu condescendingly.

"Take a good look at the house, don't let the things of ** be lost."

Jin Mangu nodded seriously with this small face, but Jin Meiyu, who was hugged by Granny Jin, was very happy to talk to Jin Mangu.

"Mangu, stay at home obediently, don't run around, eat well, don't be too tired with other children, the work in the field is endless, if you want to pull water again, just pull Go scalpers, don’t move a little by yourself, it doesn’t matter if someone sees it, just say that I rented it from someone.”

I don't know when it started. The three brothers of the Jin family and Dahe Zhuzi began to fetch water from the river and water the fields with two buckets each.

Watering back and forth every day, from busy day to night, except for the time after eating, all are busy.

Jin Meiyu didn't notice it at first, but felt that these children were very tired every day, thinking that the sun was too hot, and every time after eating, she would bring them a bamboo tube full of mung bean soup.

It wasn't until one day that Xiaohe leaked his words, and Jin Meiyu, who was staying on the mountain, found out about it, so they were forbidden to carry water to the fields all day long, and they were only allowed to carry water in the morning and rest in the afternoon .

"Alright sister, I'll tell Dahe and the others." It's one thing to say it, but another thing to do it.

After all, Dahe and the others are too old, and now they are starting to practice martial arts. If they want to become strong, they must put in more effort.

Now that they have food and drink, just letting them keep squeezing their potential is already a very good treatment.

Dahe and the others also knew this, so they practiced so desperately.

As for my sister-in-law.

Although you should listen to my sister-in-law's words, but Dahe and the others did it on their own initiative, and it has nothing to do with him!
Jin Mangu watched the group leave on horseback before turning around and entering the village.

Before heading to Arada, he went home first.

The family is deserted, both sister-in-law Jin and second sister-in-law Jin will be married to their natal families, these days when Jin Meiyu is not at home, there has been a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Jin family, which is caused by the food problem at home.

Zhao Xiaohua's natal family came again to beat the autumn wind and wiped out the family's food storage again.

The family ran out of food, and the Jin family was not as good as it used to be. They owed a huge amount of foreign debt in the village. Even if they wanted to borrow some food from others, they couldn't do it!
Sister-in-law Jin wants to breastfeed, and second-sister-in-law Jin is pregnant. They have been married to the Jin family for so long, and they have never been hungry, especially during pregnancy.

What's more, it's not the Jin family that has the problem. The Jin family can't even eat a meal now. In the final analysis, it's Zhao Xiaohua's natal family!

No one can keep this kind of daughter-in-law who let her natal family suck blood. Only Zhao Xiaohua is the elder of the family and a mother-in-law. Only the daughter-in-law below can bear her a little bit.

But now it seems that there is a pause. When the men in the family are not at home, no matter what the two daughters-in-law are thinking, they finally have a big fight with Zhao Xiaohua, and then pack up and bring the children back home with their stomachs upright. My mother's family is gone.

Now there is only Zhao Xiaohua at home, and only at night will the four grandchildren of the Jin family come home to stay for one night, and then leave early in the morning, and eat three meals a day outside by themselves.

Now Zhao Xiaohua is lying on the bed in her room, she doesn't know if she is mad or angry.

Jin Mangu, who came back, went back to his room first, and took out the bucket of honey that Jin Meiyu gave.

Jin Mangu didn't give this thing to grandma, if it was given to Zhao Xiaohua, maybe they wouldn't be able to keep it.

Jin Mangu went to the kitchen, got some hot water and made some honey water for Zhao Xiaohua, and then carefully brought it to Zhao Xiaohua's door.

"Grandma, grandma, are you asleep? Grandma, drink some water."

The closed door was silent, and after a long while, a hoarse voice came from inside.

"It's Mangu, grandma is not thirsty, you should drink it."

"Grandma, this is the honey water made with honey left by my sister-in-law when she left. Before she left, my sister-in-law specifically told me to keep it for you to nourish your body. Grandma, drink some of it. You will feel much better after drinking some honey water."

The room was silent again for a while, and after a long while, the honey water that Jin Mangu was holding was a little bit cold before the sound came from the room again.

"……come in."

Jin Mangu tried to push the door, but it was not locked, so he easily pushed the door open.

He walked in with the bowl, Zhao Xiaohua was still lying on the bed with his back to him, Jin Mangu walked to the bed with the bowl and whispered.

"Grandma, get up and take a sip, it will be better if you drink some honey water."

Zhao Xiaohua moved, and finally sat up.

She didn't look good, her face was blue and white, her hair was messy, her eyes were red and swollen, and she must have been crying for a long time.

Her voice was a little hoarse, and her speech was weak.

Maybe it was because she cried for too long, and she was also a little thirsty, so she took the water that Jin Mangu was carrying, and drank it all.

The entrance of the sweet honey water really relieved the hunger in her abdomen and the discomfort in her body.

It's just that a bowl of honey water is still too little. After drinking the water, she asked Jin Mangu a little bit more.

"Any more?"

Jin Mangu took the empty bowl and nodded.

"Also, I'm going to exchange some for you."

Seeing that Jin Mangu was leaving, Zhao Xiaohua hurriedly asked.

"How much honey did she leave you?"

"One bamboo tube, one full bamboo tube, don't worry, grandma, you can still drink for a long time."

Zhao Xiaohua looked at Jin Mangu fixedly, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't speak.

In the end it was Jin Mangu who spoke first.

"Before sister-in-law left, she gave me this because she wanted me to hand it over to grandma, but I think that if it was really given to grandma, this honey might not fall into grandma's mouth. Grandma, sister-in-law is very worried about you, she thinks You have lost weight and your complexion is not very good, she wants to make up for you, but there is nothing in the house, this bucket of honey is kept by my sister-in-law."

Zhao Xiaohua still couldn't hold it back, and cried out, tears streaming down her face. After living such a long time, she felt bitter after all.

She wiped away the tears she shed, her voice was a little choked, and she subconsciously raised her voice.

"Do you also think I'm wrong? But what can I do, I can't just watch my parents die!"

This is the knot in Zhao Xiaohua's heart.

The Jin family was evacuated, and she owed a whole lot of debt. She was not without guilt.

But even if they owe a whole lot of debt, the Jin family will be fine.

She has been married to Jin Liangshun for so long, and she knows Jin Liangshun's ability to make money.

Although 500 taels is indeed a large sum, it's not that the Jin family can't afford it, it just takes some time.

But if it were Zhao's family, her natal family, it would take several generations to work together to pay off the huge sum of money.

And in this process, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no one who is driven crazy, unable to survive such a hard life, and will attack her parents.

This is the reason why people's debts are eliminated after death.

I have to say that Jin Liangshun taught Zhao Xiaohua very well after being married for so many years, making her more insightful and capable than other villagers.

It's just that this kind of foresight and ability is not very happy when used on my own family.

As a junior, Jin Mangu didn't know what to say.

After thinking about it, he still chose to comfort grandma.

"Grandma, don't be sad, just live your life."

After saying this, Zhao Xiaohua couldn't help but glared at him.

Can this day go on?At least Zhao Xiaohua felt that life was too bitter!
Since marrying Jin Liangshun, Zhao Xiaohua hasn't had a hard time.

After so many years, I have been nourished and moisturized smoothly. Who would have thought that when I am old and should enjoy the blessings of my children and grandchildren, I will be hungry!

Staring at Jin Mangu, Zhao Xiaohua asked quietly.

"You stay away from home every day, and I don't see you lose weight. What do you eat every day?" Zhao Xiaohua is the only one at home now, and the others are not at home, nor are they eating at home.

There was nothing to eat at home, so Zhao Xiaohua could only stay hungry at home, while the others seemed to be living well.

Jin Mangu was stared at by Zhao Xiaohua, but he didn't hesitate, he told Zhao Xiaohua very frankly.

"Before grandpa left, he left some food for us and put it in an uncle's house. We can go to that uncle's house to eat a bite every day. Although it is not much, but with some wild vegetables, we can still get full. Grandma, if you are hungry Now, I can dig some wild vegetables for you to eat."

"What kind of wild vegetables are you digging to eat? You are eating food, so let me eat wild vegetables?" This is to vent your anger.

Facing the Jin family, Zhao Xiaohua felt very guilty, but when she heard that Jin Liangshun had left food for the rest of the Jin family, but she didn't have any, her guilt turned into depression.

It's just that before Zhao Xiaohua cried and told how hard it was to have children after being a cow and a horse for the Jin family for so many years, Jin Mangu was already prepared and took out a greased paper bag from his arms.

In front of Zhao Xiaohua, he opened the oil-paper bag, and inside was a pile of loose, cooked chaff.

He handed the thing to Zhao Xiaohua, and said what Jin Liangshun had told him before he left.

"This is what grandpa prepared for us. You can eat it with wild vegetables, but the taste is not very good. Grandma, if you are hungry, you can eat some."

Zhao Xiaohua ate this food when she was a child, but she never touched it after she grew up and got married. At most, she only saw other people eat it, so she knew what it was.

She looked at Jin Mangu in disbelief, and the things that were about to cry were suppressed instantly, her face flushed red.

Bran, this is bran.

I couldn't make a fuss anymore, tears couldn't be stopped like beads with a broken thread, and the guilt in my heart spread again.

She pulled Jin Mangu into her arms and began to cry.

How could this day be like this!

"It's grandma who's sorry for you, sorry for you, it's grandma's fault, grandma is wrong!"

Jin Mangu, who was being hugged, was very calm, letting Zhao Xiaohua hug her and cry, even after being hugged for a long time, he angrily twitched some chaff into Ziji's mouth and tasted it.

The texture and taste were really not very good, and he couldn't swallow it after reaching his mouth. He wanted to spit it out, but he was afraid of making too much noise, so he could only spit it out little by little.
