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

Chapter 4 The Outer Room
Before Yin Tao could come up with a reason, a younger brother's voice came from the courtyard: "Mother, I brought my cousin here."

The three hurried out of the house. A young man in the courtyard was talking to the driver. Seeing a few people coming out, he hurriedly said to Yin Taoniang: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go to the county town with this uncle. Auntie is inconvenient, so don't worry."

Yin Tao Niang handed over the 20 taels of silver bill and the gold bracelet, and said anxiously, "Go and have a look, there are only these in the house, and my aunt won't be able to get them out any more, so I'm going to trouble you a lot! It's not enough to send a letter and I'll think about it later." Method."

The cousin and the driver left, and the Yin family also closed the door and went back to the house.

Back in her room, Yin Lan sat wearily on the edge of the bed, staring at the shadow on the ground for a long time without saying a word.

Yin Tao stood leaning against the wall and asked, "Sister, do you know anything?"

Yin Lan raised her face to look at her sister. At this time, Yin Tao's eyes were sharp, and she seemed to be able to see into her heart, so she couldn't help but smile: "So what if you know?"

"But that golden bracelet is your dowry?"

"What can I do?" A tear dripped onto the front of the shirt, and the fragility and grievance deep in my heart turned into this sentence, a tear!

Yin Tao walked over and gently wrapped Yin Lan's thin shoulders, and said softly, "Don't worry, there is me!"

Yin Lan weakly rested her head on the little girl's thin shoulder, slowly closed her eyes, and silently slid tears down her cheeks under her trembling long eyelashes.

The suppressed sadness made Yin Tao feel distressed, she stretched out her hand and stroked Yin Lan's long hair, her eyes were dark and gloomy that did not match her age.

"Sister, listen to me first, this matter is very important." When her elder sister's mood eased a little, Yin Tao raised her hand to wipe away her tears, looked at her, and said very solemnly.

Yin Lan looked at the serious expression of the younger sister, and nodded dazedly.

"Sister, the coachman said that Dad seems to have an outside room, and today's fight was caused by the outside room. In fact, Dad's injury didn't cost 50 taels of silver at all. It was because there were so many people surrounding the hospital. let dad go."

"It's good that you know." Yin Lan said softly after hearing this, her eyes full of exhaustion.

"Sister, you already knew? Why did you hide this?"

Yin Lan forced herself to calm down and said, "Last month my cousin gave Daddy money, and he saw traces of women's lives in Daddy's house."

She took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said: "My cousin purposely went to the neighborhood to inquire and found out that my father has been with that woman as husband and wife for more than ten years, and he already has two sons, who are 12 years old and eight years old. boy."

"This" Yin Tao couldn't help exclaiming, and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes widened in horror: "The child is so old, why is there no news from our family?"

"Fucheng is a few days away from here, and the news is already blocked. If it wasn't for the last time Dad was in a hurry to ask for money, it happened that my cousin was going to Fucheng to do some errands. We asked him to help carry it over, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark."

"The money you and your mother earn day and night, let's live frugally and let Dad go to raise the outer room and the children?"

Yin Lan nodded sadly and indignantly, Yin Tao stood up abruptly and glared at her elder sister: "Why did you promise to give them money, you can't cheapen them in vain."

Yin Lan scolded: "Sit down, keep your voice down, now I can only think about covering things up first, and everything has to wait for my mother to give birth smoothly."

"Sister, you're confused. It's always wrong to think about it alone. We should make plans early if you say it. Even if your mother accidentally finds out, it's not necessarily as fragile as you think."

"I just think that you are still young, and I don't want you to worry about these things. Mother must not know. Qiu Langzhong said that mother's child is a bit dangerous, and you must not get angry. So I..."

Yin Lan was almost out of breath by this matter.But she didn't know how to deal with it at all, she could only endure the pain and suffering silently, and she had to force a smile to not arouse suspicion.

"You shouldn't have agreed to give away all the money tonight. My mother is about to give birth. What should I do if I don't have money by my side?"

"Mother still has more than a month to start. Now I can finish the embroidered screen in half a month. You can also embroider some small pieces. Don't worry, I will arrange the mother's affairs."

Yin Tao felt sorry for this obviously weak girl, but she was doing her best to protect her family.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the door, and the expressions of the two changed greatly.
