Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Jiang Xiaoxiao was very puzzled. Since Sister-in-law Zhao knew that Rascal Zhao was having an affair with Widow Xu, why didn't she make it public?

If it was confirmed that Rascal Zhao had an affair with Widow Xu, wouldn't Mrs. Zhao take the opportunity to propose a divorce from Rascal Zhao?

This era is a patriarchal society. Men can marry multiple wives and concubines, but there are also laws that stipulate that once a woman discovers that her husband is cheating on her, she can divorce her.

Qiu Lianniang said from the side: "Sister-in-law Zhao is weak-tempered. If she dares to propose reconciliation, Zhao Lailai can beat her to death."

Jiang Xiaoxiao fell silent.

She suddenly remembered a piece of news she had seen in modern times. A woman was paralyzed for life by her husband's domestic violence. She had to wear a fecal bag for the rest of her life to survive... This matter was fermented until the end, and the woman was unable to tell her family. Violent husband divorces.

This is true even in modern times, not to mention ancient times when women’s status was low.

Especially in ancient rural areas with backward feudalism and lack of information, a man could beat his wife to death through domestic violence and then marry another woman.

"It's just pity that sisters Chunmiao and Chunya have to suffer..."

At the end, Qiu Lianniang looked at Chun Miao, who was working silently, with a hint of hatred on her face, "Sister-in-law Zhao, it's true, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your children. How can we do this if we don’t stand up at home?”

Chun Miao stopped throwing firewood into the stove. When her eyes fell on the exposed bruises on her arms, the tip of her nose felt a little sore.

When he got home last night, Rascal Zhao grabbed her and asked her about her wages. She said no, but Rascal Zhao didn't believe her and beat and scolded her. Her mother climbed out of bed and knelt on the ground, crying and begging.

Zhao Lailai kicked her mother impatiently. She was so angry that she rushed forward and wanted to fight back, but her mother hugged her tightly and cried, saying that he is your father and you can't do anything to him...

Her mother would never resist when beaten by rogue Zhao. Even if these beatings fell on her children, she would just bear them silently.

Sometimes she really hates Zhao Laiyi for being ruthless and cruel, and also hates her mother for not living up to her expectations.

"Sister Chunmiao..."

Noticing Jiang Xiaoxiao's gaze, Chunmiao hurriedly pulled down her short sleeves to cover the bruises on her arms, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao's sharp eyes naturally saw the bruise, but she pretended not to see it and just said: "Is your mother feeling better now? My mother found some herbs for dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain in the mountains a few days ago. When you leave, you Take some back."

With that said, she went into the house and brought out two small orange flowers. "My mother said these are Chinese herbal safflowers, which have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. They are more suitable for bruises and can relieve pain."

Qiu Lianniang looked at the two dried orange flowers in Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand with curiosity. She had seen them before when she went to dig wild vegetables in the mountains. It turned out that they were Chinese herbal medicines. She thought they were wild flowers in the mountains...

Chunmiao held back the astringency in her heart, took it with both hands, and said gratefully: "Thank you, sister Xiaoxiao."

Her mother managed to stay in bed for two days, and her injuries were just a little bit better. Last night, she was beaten by rogue Zhao, and her injuries began to get worse again. This herbal medicine just solved her urgent need.

"Oh, by the way..." Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Sister Chunmiao, this herbal medicine must be decoctioned to be effective, and the decoction must be made with sharpening water for the best effect."

"Knife sharpening water?"

Chun Miao and Qiu Lianniang who were listening were stunned for a moment. It seemed that this was the first time they heard that sharpening water was needed to make soup and medicine.

However, since this herb was discovered by Xiao Xiaoniang, it might be used in this way. After all, she used to be a lady from a scholarly family. She had read many books, possibly including medical books, and knew that people like them in the village did not know medical skills.

Jiang Xiaoxiao slightly arched her eyebrows and her eyes were clear. She smiled and said: "Sister Chunmiao, if your father beats you and your mother from now on, you can use a whetstone to boil red flower medicine soup at night."

"okay……"

Seeing Chun Miao accepting the red flower herb with a confused expression, Jiang Xiaoxiao curled her lips almost invisible. Since Mrs. Zhao didn't have the courage to reconcile, she had no choice but to take action from rogue Zhao.

the other side.

Widow Xu returned home angrily. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Rascal Zhao lying on her bed with his legs crossed, and she was even more furious.

"Your two daughters are working at the house of the widow of the Jiang family. They are getting such high wages. Why are you coming to my place if you don't go back and wait?" Widow Xu grabbed Rascal Zhao and pushed him out. Home door.

Why can those two damn girls work there and get paid, but she can't?

Originally, she went there with the idea of ​​secretly learning the ice cream recipe. Unexpectedly, not only was she rejected, but she also became extremely angry when she saw the spring seedlings and spring buds in the yard.

"How can we get money!" When talking about this, Rascal Zhao was also a little angry, "Those two dead girls are working for free, how can they get any salary?"

He searched the two girls top and bottom last night, but didn't find half a penny.

When Widow Xu heard this, she felt relieved, but she still said provocatively: "Huh, everyone else gets twenty copper coins for doing work, but your girl doesn't have it. You can't go to them in person to ask for it? Can't you let them get it?" Your two daughters are working for free!"

Zhao Lailai was originally worried about this matter, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up, it seemed to be the truth!

His daughter works there, why can't he ask for wages?

Chun Miao and Chun Ya went to her house and worked for two or three days, which cost at least sixty cents!

After thinking about it, Zhao Lailai was about to go out.

But Widow Xu stopped him again: "Don't worry, wait until they work for a few more days before you go, otherwise if you make trouble now, Widow Jiang will not let your daughter work in the future, and you will have no money in the future." ”

Upon hearing this, Rascal Zhao seemed to agree with this.

He suppressed the greed in his heart, hugged Widow Xu and kneaded her again, "Oh, my dear, you are still smart."

Widow Xu endured the nausea in her heart and continued: "I went there today and saw Liu Dagang leading a few men to dig a cellar outside her yard. What kind of cellar do you think her family dug?"

Zhao Laihou hurriedly unbuttoned his belt and said: "Who knows what she is going to do when she suddenly digs a cellar? She has already bought the land. She can do whatever she wants on it and we have no control over it. "

"Buying land?" Widow Xu was startled, "When did she buy the land? Why didn't I know?"

"It seems like half a month ago, I heard that she spent one and a half silver to buy that piece of land..."

"What, one and a half taels of silver?!" Widow Xu said in a sour tone, "We can't make two taels of silver all year round, so she is willing to spend so much money to buy that useless piece of wasteland?"

That wasteland was full of grass and gravel, and there was no way to farm it. Why would she buy it? (End of chapter)
