After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 30 Why Don't You Know How to Call Pain?

Xing stared at her: "The magistrate personally issued the order, what can I do?!"

Mrs. Liu squinted her eyes and wrinkled her face, and said viciously: "Madam, since the handcuffs have been removed, we can't let her idle! It will be time to pick tea leaves in two days, so why not send her to Jiu Niangzi?" Picking tea leaves from the mountain can also make more money for our family! ”

The tea produced in Lingzhou is best after Qingming and before Grain Rain.

Every time this season comes, all major tea mountains will hire people to pick tea, and almost all the women in the state capital will sign up to go, and they can get [-] Wen for picking tea every day.

Mrs. Xing loves money, and every year, she and her natal sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, take a group of relatives and women to pick tea.

It is said that the person who contracted Jiuniangzi Mountain was a foreign businessman who hired local people from Lingzhou to guard the tea mountain. The good tea and tender tea were sold to other tea merchants halfway, and then they took some poor old tea to trade at will, and received the fifty Wen.

Through this method, the Xing family and the Liu family can earn more than ten or twenty taels of silver every year.

"Let Wei Zi pick tea?" Mrs. Xing held the silk, thought for a moment, and nodded slowly, "That's good, I can earn more tea picking money, and I can also cooperate with me in performing mother-in-law and daughter-in-law harmony. When the time comes, I will choose the best tea." Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law', I am also more likely to be selected..."

After discussing with the master and servant, he sent a woman to inform Wei Zi to get up early tomorrow to pick tea.

Southeast corner, small boudoir.

Wei Zi locked the two bolts of silk and satin into the cage: "Second brother, it looks like you're going to get some food yourself tomorrow."

After putting the silk and satin away, she picked up the inscription "Loyal and Martyr" written by County Magistrate Chen, which was an eyesore no matter how you looked at it.

Not to hang it, not to burn it, Wei Zi thought about it, and just used it as a table foot.

Xiao Fengxian looked around the boudoir.

There is a yellow and old bamboo couch against the wall. A pair of white and clean old cloth curtains are hung on the couch. There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones all over the place, the smell of inferior candles and lamp oil faintly lingers in the air, and only one diamond window is opened in the whole room, making the room extremely dark and damp.

Mothers-in-law and maids despise such a house, so it's a good thing she can live in it.

They really didn't treat the little widow as a human being.

He said: "Sister-in-law's boudoir should also be refurbished."

"Stay here for now." Wei Zi stretched out his hand, "Where is the sore medicine Mr. Chen gave?"

On the way back, Xiao Fengxian said to collect the medicine for her, so she gave it to him.

Xiao Fengxian touched his sleeves: "I lost it."

"lost?"

"It must have been lost on the way. My sister-in-law looks at me and is not careful at all." Xiao Fengxian said sincerely, "However, I have a better ointment over there, sister-in-law might as well use mine. Who knows what to do with outsiders' things?" It’s not clean, don’t worry about using it.”

Wei Zi followed Xiao Fengxian to the small study, the young man rummaged through the box, and found a bottle of medicine.

Xiao Fengxian pulled her onto the mat: "Show me the wound."

He reached out and lifted her skirt.

Wei Zi was stunned, and just about to stop him, Xiao Fengxian had already taken off half of her socks.

The girl's ankles were exposed to the air.

Wei Zi blushed and said angrily, "Why don't you know how to avoid suspicion?"

She wanted to pull her foot back, but Xiao Fengxian held it tightly.

The girl's ankle was slender and lonely. Because of wearing heavy iron chains for a long time, the worn flesh and blood on the ankle had already scabbed and festered, showing a rotten deep purple and dark blue color. Against the background of the surrounding white and tender skin, the scars were even more shocking. .

With such injuries, she cleans and cooks every day, and even drags such a pair of feet to climb the steps as high as Yunshen Temple.

She was obviously just a delicate little widow.

What kind of power is hidden in that frail body like a dodder?
Xiao Fengxian's long eyelashes drooped, and complex emotions surged in her pupils: "After grinding for so long, the wound has festered. Is my sister-in-law wooden or dumb, why doesn't she know how to cry out in pain?"

Although he is a boy, he is still a man.

Wei Zi is a very conservative person.

With her uncle staring at her bare ankles, she felt as if she had been stripped naked, shivering all over in shame, a thin blush spread down her cheeks to the tips of her ears, and even her fair neck showed a layer of powder.

With all her strength, she tried to push Xiao Fengxian's hand away, but the young man was so powerful that he held her foot firmly, no matter how she pushed it, he would not move.

She acted like a thief, with a very low voice: "You... let go of me first! If others see it, we should not be able to explain clearly. Those women have the worst mouths, and if they accuse us of having an affair again, our picture Look, how can I explain it?"

Xiao Fengxian didn't care about that.

He wiped Wei Zi's wound with a towel, poured the good ointment into his palm, rubbed it to warm it up and slowly applied it to the wound: "Let them chew their tongues as they like, anyway, I have a clear conscience."

With his palm covering the girl's ankle, he didn't have any obscene thoughts, he only felt those hideous bumpy scars, the too thin and delicate limbs, it can be seen that this little widow is malnourished and has never taken good care of her body.

But Wei Zi was so scared that he trembled all over.

"Sister-in-law, I'll give you medicine, why are you shaking?" He raised his head, with a sharp smile in Danfeng's eyes, "Could it be, sister-in-law, do you have a guilty conscience?"

Four eyes facing each other.

Wei Zi's frightened appearance suddenly bumped into Xiao Fengxian's eyes.

Not only was she blushing, her pupils were also misty, her white teeth bit her lips in a panic, she sat on the cushion in a panic, her skirts were scattered all over the floor.

She wanted to escape, but he firmly held a slender foot, looking helpless, like a rabbit trapped by a poisonous snake and had nowhere to escape.

very pitiful.

Xiao Fengxian thought.

"I... I naturally have a clear conscience!" Wei Ziqiang put on airs, "It's just an old saying, 'men and women have different seats at seven years old', you and I are not children anymore, so naturally we have to keep a proper distance. Do I marry someone later? Now, do you still want to be like today?"

marry...

This word made Xiao Fengxian startled.

That's right, the little widow is only in the age of cardamom, she is still so young, she will always remarry in the future.

She will marry into another deep house, and take care of her husband and children every day to take care of the housework. In her spare time, she may plant flowers and fruits, cook fish for her new husband, and cut clothes.

She is like a pure white jasmine hidden at the end of the alley, originally only admired and smelled by him, but in the future, she will eventually belong to another man, and she will be dug up by that man and transplanted until he can't see her. place to go.

out of control.

A pitch-black haze appeared in the boy's eyes.

This feeling is like eating a whole lemon in the heavy snow, and the sour tooth hurts.

He endured it, and said sourly: "Xiao Lingxiao died less than half a year ago, and my sister-in-law wants to remarry? According to the law, you have to observe filial piety for him for a year before remarrying. What's more, you have to take your time when you see your husband-in-law, at least It will take three to five years, seven or eight years, so why are you anxious, sister-in-law?"
