Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Chapter 130 Liu Er Family Affairs
Liu'er's home was still a little far away, and it was almost noon when we set off early in the morning and arrived at the entrance of the village.

Spring started, and people in the village started to get busy. There was an open space at the entrance of the village, and there was no one there. Everyone went home for dinner.

Yin Tao and Li Gu got out of the carriage and asked Zhao San to guard the carriage. The two of them found a family to inquire about Liu'er's house.

It was a sister-in-law who came out, pointing to the big house covered with tiles in front of her and said: "That's the one. Her family had a daughter who came out of the big family a few years ago."

After thanking my sister-in-law, Yin Tao and Li Gu went to Liu'er's house.

In this village, there are only three or four houses built with blue bricks and tiles, and all of them are only two or three main houses, and the rest are earth walls.

Even so, it is still the envy of the villagers.

Liu Er once left a message for Yin Tao to ask Yin Tao to come and see her, but Yin Tao has been busy and has no time at all.

The chimney of their house is emitting smoke, so it can be seen that they are still cooking.

The fence is only about half the height of a person, and it is obvious that the scene in the courtyard can be seen clearly.There are two rows of clothes drying in the courtyard, which shows that there are a lot of people in this family.

Several children were running around in the courtyard, Yin Tao knocked on the open door, the oldest boy came over, and looked at Yin Tao and the two vigilantly.

"Who are you looking for?" The child had a bad attitude and spoke very rudely.

"Little brother, does Liu'er live here?"

The child first thought about it suspiciously, and seemed to understand who to look for, and shouted into the room: "San Gu, someone is looking for you!"

After saying that, a petite girl came out from the kitchen, dressed in coarse cloth, with only a cloth towel covering her hair in a bun.

She looked indifferently at the gate of the courtyard, until she saw that it was Yin Tao, the expression on her face turned into surprise, and she immediately ran towards Yin Tao.

To be honest, Yin Tao didn't recognize Liu'er at first.

In the past, Liu Er liked to laugh very much, like a half-opened flower bone, green and beautiful!
But now Liu'er is just a village girl, dull and lacking vitality.

"Sister Yin Tao, why are you here? Are you here to see me?"

Liu'er was so excited that she was about to cry, she bowed to Li Gu again, and asked, "What's your name for this sister?"

Yin Tao introduced: "This is my friend Li Gu."

"Hello, Sister Li! Come on, please come in and sit down." Liu Er hurriedly invited the two into the room.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, several people came out of the door one after another.

Liu Er introduced her parents and brother-in-law.

The family first looked at Yin Tao and Li Gu with uncomfortable eyes. Seeing that they were well dressed, their attitudes were slightly better.

Hearing Liu'er introduce Yin Tao again, knowing that they used to be maids together, and now they have also come out from Feng's family, the look in her eyes is a little subtle.

Liu'er's surname is Zhou, Zhou's father nodded and went back to the house, Zhou's elder brother couldn't stay to see the two young girls, so he also went back to the house.

Only Zhou's mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and a group of children were left.

Tuesday's sister-in-law was pregnant, she rubbed her stomach with one hand, and asked Liu'er: "Sister-in-law, is the meal ready? The whole family is hungry!"

Liu'er's face changed slightly, and she said to Zhou's mother, "Mother, my sister is here to visit me, can I let my sister-in-law cook for a while? It's almost there."

Under Zhou's mother's arrangement, sister-in-law Zhou reluctantly went to the kitchen. Before entering, she said: "Sister-in-law, I cooked for you today, and you will cook for me tomorrow!"

The family atmosphere is not very good.

Yin Tao smiled, handed the pastry in her hand to Liu'er, and said, "Liu'er, I just came to see you, and now I see that everything is fine with you, so I am relieved. I have to hurry back, you send send me!"

Liu'er took the pastry in a daze, and Yin Tao patted the back of her hand, bringing her back to her senses.

She handed the pastries to Mother Zhou, and a group of children surrounded them. Mother Zhou scolded the children and said to Yin Tao, "Oh, since she is a good sister of the third girl, she came all the way to see her. Stay home and have a light meal before you go."

Yin Tao wanted to decline, but Zhou's mother was so enthusiastic that she asked Liu'er to take the two of them to her room to talk.

Then let Da'er go to the backyard to catch a chicken and kill it.

This move stunned the whole family.

That chicken is Zhou's mother's treasure, how could he be willing to give it to the two girls?

Liu'er didn't care so much, she dragged Yin Tao and the others to the backyard and into a hut.

The house is small and new, with a chilly air.

The earth wall and thatched roof, although there are windows, are not very bright. There is only one bed and an old box in the room.

Liu Er blushed a little, and asked them to sit on the edge of the bed, while she sat on the box.

"This is my house. I built a new one after I came back. My sister-in-law said that I will get married in two years. There is no need to build too much, just make do with it."

Yin Tao has long seen that Liu'er's life is unsatisfactory, not even as good as she was in Feng's house.

At least her clothes were better back then than now, her originally fair face was darker and thinner, and her hands were much rougher.

Liu'er sighed and said, "I always thought that if I came out, I would be free, but who knew, my family members were very angry and asked me why I came out of Feng's house on my own initiative?"

Yin Tao and Li Gu looked at each other, both feeling a little sympathetic to Liu'er.

"Your family doesn't want you to come out?" Yin Tao asked.

"Yes, in the past, I saved my monthly money, and I sent money to my family once every six months. Looking at the houses in the front yard, they are all more stylish than other houses, but they don't want me to come out, saying that my salary is lower than that at home. There are many men."

"But being a maid is never free, right?"

"They didn't expect this. They only knew that a large amount of money was missing. Sister Yin Tao, the beautiful life I longed for is only a few days away. After they emptied all my money and even took away the better clothes, Let me start working."

"Where's your mother?"

"Hey!"

Speaking of her mother, Liu'er sighed with a complicated expression: "I have been gone since I was a child, and my mother probably only remembers my money."

As for housework, it was really hard to tell, and Yin Tao didn't know how to persuade her.

Liu'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a forced smile, "Let my sister see the joke."

"What kind of joke is there? Liu'er, I'm here today to see how you're doing, and to ask you to do things for me. I just don't know if your family agrees?"

Liu'er's eyes lit up immediately, and she said excitedly: "Sister, I am willing to follow you, I don't want wages, as long as you let me follow you."

"Liu'er, you don't want wages, would your family want you to follow me?"

"This..." Liu'er knew that her family would definitely disagree.

To tell the truth, she is very strange to this family, and she is also out of place.

In the past, she thought that as long as she was in her own home, it would be good to work even harder.

But now, every day I have to wash the clothes of the whole family, cook, feed chickens, ducks, and pigs.

After a busy day, apart from sore waist and back pain, I only get sighs from my father, cold faces from my mother, and ridicule from my sisters-in-law.

How many nights she has been crying alone, is this the home she has missed for so many years?

"Sister, no matter what, I will follow my sister today."

Seeing that Liu'er had made up her mind, Yin Tao was about to speak when Li Gu stretched out her hand to stop her.

Li Gu stood up, walked to the door without making a sound, opened the door abruptly, and saw Liu'er's eldest nephew eavesdropping on the door.
