The Splendid Life of the Almighty Peasant Girl

Chapter 6 Poor Cousin
In the morning, Lin Hongsheng's wife came in and took a look at Youran. Seeing her daughter frowning, she touched her head distressedly, covered her with a quilt, and carefully put her bandaged hands inside.Leisurely felt that someone was touching her, but the familiar breath made her sniff her nose and continue to sleep.

Lin Hongsheng watched his wife come out and asked:

"Of course, are you okay?"

"It's okay. I touched her forehead just now. She didn't have a fever. I guess she didn't sleep well last night."

Lin Hongsheng sighed, and said distressedly:

"Today I will go to the field by myself, you stay at home and take good care of the children."

Gao Yuqin hesitated for a moment, Lin Hongsheng comforted her and said:
"It's okay, it's just a matter of one day, and it's not too late tomorrow."

Gao Yuqin thought of her daughter's hand, nodded and decided to stay.

When Youran woke up, it was already noon. She was confused for a while before remembering her current situation.

"Of course, you're awake? Come and sit down, I'll bring you dinner."

Nodding leisurely, she was not polite, and as soon as she sat down, she heard someone calling outside.

"Aunt Si, are you awake?"

Gao Yuqin saw her niece coming, beckoned her in, and said:

"Why is Lan Lan here?"

Lin Youlan took small steps, took out the basket in her hand and handed it to her, saying:
"Grandma asked me to bring it here. However, my hand bled so much yesterday. Grandma said that it should be mended."

Gao Yuqin looked at a basket full of twenty eggs and didn't know what to say?
This era is not modern. Eggs are saved and sold.

Even those who are married can just send a few eggs. It's really never happened to take out so much at one time except to sell.

Leisurely heard the voice and also came out, looking at the clothes that had been washed white and could not see the original color, and the hair that should have been black and bright, but it was not very good, but it was still very neat.

It's a pity that there are no decorations all over the body.

Leisurely's heart felt sour, their grandma actually prepared a few accessories for these girls, although they were not very good things.

The cousin didn't have it, probably it was taken away by her scumbag father!
"Cousin, have you eaten yet? Come eat with us."

With that said, he dragged her into the house.

Gao Yuqin also quickly followed with a basket.

Youlan was pulled into the room and sat down. Youlan knew that her cousin had an injury on her hand, so she didn't dare to struggle too much.

She looked at Youran's hand distressedly, took out a jar of ointment, untied the bandaged cloth, and said:

"Grandma went to the town early this morning and asked the doctor to ask for it for you."

Leisurely can't laugh or cry:

"Cousin, I'm fine. If you come later, cousin, scabs will form."

Youlan gave her a blank look, and then pinched all the wounds on her hands.

"Hiss, it hurts, cousin, don't bring such a thing."

Youlan let out a "puchi" laugh.

"Isn't it all right? It's just a light touch. I haven't tried hard yet, so it hurts?"

Looking at her leisurely and resentfully:
"sister……"

"Okay, I'll come over and give you medicine tomorrow."

Leisurely...

She was just bitten on the palm of her hand. Although it hurt at the time, as long as she didn't touch it intentionally, she would be fine.

Grandma and the others made too much fuss. Thinking of grandma, she felt warm in her heart.

Gao Yuqin carried the basket into the kitchen, made two more egg drop soup, and then brought the food over.

"Lan Lan, you and Ranran eat first, and I'll deliver food to your fourth uncle."

Youlan quickly stood up:
"Aunt Si, you can eat something before you go. I'm fine in the afternoon, so I'll stay here with Ranran."

Speechlessly looking at the sky leisurely, no, it's not the sky, but the dark roof.

Gao Yuqin hesitated for a moment. She knew that although Youlan didn't have to go to the fields, there were still several pigs on the uncle's side.

The eldest brother's two sons still count on those pigs to study.

Although Youlan has nothing else to do, these pigs are hers to take care of. If one is not taken care of well, the uncle will really beat him.

She still remembered one time, when Youlan was playful and didn't feed the pigs in time, her uncle beat her severely with a thin willow stick.

If the mother-in-law hadn't heard that she came back from the field, how many crimes would this girl have committed?

Also from then on, this girl never dared not to listen to her father.

Gao Yuqin also didn't understand, the uncle looked quite honest, why did he get so angry that time?

Speaking of which, Lan Lan would have been even more tired if her mother-in-law hadn't been strong enough to prevent the girls from going to the fields.

Gao Yuqin sighed inwardly, and after thinking about it, let's forget it.

Although the uncle is not at home, who knows if he will come back suddenly?

Lin Youlan's face darkened, and she said:

"Fourth Aunt, I've finished hunting pigweed in the morning, and I've got everything done, so I can just feed it when I go back tonight, it's fine."

Leisurely took her hand and gently stroked the calloused hand. She hated that so-called uncle.

What the hell?If you don't care about this daughter, why do you want it?

No, he didn't want to, but he didn't dare not. After all, he didn't dare to expose what he did when grandma was still there.

Grandma is not only literate, but also not patriarchal, and even took the initiative to separate the family, which is very rare in ancient times when everyone was patriarchal.

So the girls in their family are envied by the girls in the whole village, and of course there are some who are jealous, such as Yuan Xiaolian.

Grandma also treats these grandchildren equally. There is no other way but to go to school. This environment does not allow girls to go to school.

However, when grandma is free in private, she will still teach them how to read.

As for writing, everyone can only write and draw on the ground. The paper is too expensive, and they are reluctant to waste it casually.

Only those who go to school have paper exercises.

The eldest and the second child on the uncle's side are both studying, and it is said that he is providing for the reading, but in fact it is cousin Youlan and the eldest aunt.

Those pigs were all fed by Cousin Youlan, and they would sometimes help.

When the field is busy, the eldest aunt has to go to the field every day, and when she is not busy, she embroiders at home every day to subsidize the family.

Every time the uncle came home, he would not only take away the food that the aunt had worked so hard to grow, but also the pigs raised by cousin Youlan, and even the money that the aunt had spent on embroidery.

He didn't care at all what would happen to his aunt and cousin Youlan after all the money was taken away by him?
Even the uncle didn't let Cousin Youlan learn to embroider, but only asked her to feed the pigs and work in the fields, and the pig house had to be cleaned every day so that there was no peculiar smell, otherwise, Cousin Youlan would be beaten.

It's not that grandma didn't take care of it, but grandpa also agreed with what uncle did. For this reason, grandma and grandpa also had a fight.

Grandpa said, since the family has been separated, don't worry about how they live?
