suspected wife

The next day, cocks were barking in the yard, the kitchen was crackling, and shouting and cursing could be heard endlessly. Qiao Mingjin woke up leisurely.

The daughter next to her still dragged her clothes and slept soundly. This timid child can only sleep peacefully like this when she is beside her mother.

She tucked the quilt for her daughter, brushed the messy hair on her face, stared at her daughter's immature face for a long time, and a part of her heart was so soft that it melted into a puddle of water.

She touched her daughter's soft hair, then stared at the top of the gray and old tent in a daze...

The man who served her porridge yesterday was her husband-in-law, Yue Zhongyao, the eldest son of the Yue family.

The Yue family has five children, daughters at the head and tail, and three sons in the middle. Yue Zhongyao is the second son of the Yue family.

Four years ago, the imperial court attacked the Uighurs and recruited young men over the age of 15 to join the army.

That year, Yue Lao San and Yue Lao Si got married in the same year.

When the county yamen servant came to register, Qiao Mingjin was not yet happy.At that time, Yue Laoer's wife Cui Shi and Yue Lao Si's wife Liu Shi were both pregnant, and Yue Lao Er and Yue Lao Si refused on this ground.The number of recruits fell on the head of Yue Laosan.

If Laosan Yue can pay for it, he doesn't have to go in person.

It's just that Yue's family is just an ordinary farmer's family. There are many people in the family and little land. The few acres of thin land are not enough to eat. How can there be money for Yue Laosan to be worth a dime per person.

Later, Qiao Mingjin's natal family got the news, and her parents and uncle's family came.

Her natal father had a reputation as a scholar, and her two brothers were under the age of 15, so they escaped catastrophe, so she felt even more distressed about her newly married daughter.Hearing that his son-in-law was going to be drafted into the army, he hurried over.

Qiao Mingjin's mother's family said that they could not go after Yue Laosan was born.And his two brothers have descendants.If something unexpected happens to the third son of Yue, do you want to watch Qiao Mingjin die alone?

Yue Lao Er and Yue Lao Si were afraid of being dragged to the battlefield where they would never return. They repeatedly stated that if something happened to the brothers, they would adopt their son to Yue Lao San, and they would serve Qiao Mingjin for the rest of their lives.

Seeing his sister-in-law, brother-in-law and younger siblings crying so hard that they almost lost their fetus, Yue Laosan resolutely said goodbye to his wife, who had only been married for a few months, and followed the official post.

Half a month after Yue Laosan left, Qiao Mingjin was diagnosed as pregnant.

A daughter was born the following year.Qiao Mingjin's talented father named him "Yue Qingwan".Following Qiao's daughter named Yu, she took the word "Wan", which means beautiful jade.

Nayue Laosan went for four years in a row, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Until last year, the Uighurs surrendered, signed a non-aggression document for a hundred years, surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, and paid tribute every year.

Yue Lao San was lucky enough to return.

Yue Laosan's life was saved.

When the man was dying, he asked his fellow villager Yue Laosan to help him take care of his wife and daughter, and Yue Laosan agreed.

After Yue Laosan returned to his hometown, he took the 50 taels of pension money issued by the court to the man to see the family.

Only his wife, Sun, in her early thirties, her 17-year-old daughter Liu Meiniang, who was not married, and her 15-year-old son Liu Youcai, who was studying in a private school, remained in Engong's family.

The whole family lives in poverty, and they only rely on Sun's mother and daughter to wash and do embroidery for others.I also have to support a son to study, and life is very tight.

Sun held the 50 taels of silver tightly and cried until he died. He grabbed Yue Laosan and said that the sky had fallen and he couldn't live.

Pulling Yue Laosan, crying and insisting that he marry her daughter Mei Niang as his wife in return.

Yue Laosan was in a dilemma, and couldn't bear her entanglement, so he only accepted the concubine position.

Liusun's family did not follow.

Once her father-in-law left, the family couldn't survive anymore.Yue Laosan looked at a good-looking talent, and was recommended by an acquaintance in the army to join the county yamen as a catcher and eat public rations. Naturally, relying on him, the family had hope of survival.

Yue Laosan's mother, Mrs. Wu, saw that her son had been recommended by others, and became a policeman in the county government. She was very proud of having [-] yuan of public grain for drought and flood protection in January.Gradually, she looked down on Qiao Mingjin.

He also heard that the Liusun family would share half of the 50 taels of pension silver as a dowry to Liu Meiniang, so she immediately accepted Liu Meiniang as a flat wife.

I just feel sorry for Qiao Mingjin who has been guarding the cold kiln for four years, raising her eldest daughter alone, hoping that her husband will come back alive.Unexpectedly, her husband and son-in-law brought her such a big surprise...

Qiao Mingjin was thinking wildly when she heard the door creak and was gently pushed open from the outside.

Immediately, he saw Yue Zhongyao's head poking in.

Yue Zhongyao carefully opened the door and stepped in, carefully protecting the bowl in his hand, for fear that the porridge in the bowl would spill out.

Looking up to meet Qiao Jinniang's eyes, she couldn't help being stunned.

A little at a loss, and a little nervous.But soon he regained his composure, turned around and closed the door, and walked to the bed with a large porcelain bowl.

"Jinniang, are you awake? Are you hungry?" There was a little flattering tone in her tone.

Seeing that Qiao Jinniang didn't respond to him, Yue Zhongyao pursed his lips.Standing in front of the bed, rubbing the mud with his shoes at a loss, he didn't know what to say...

His wife was begged by himself, and she has always been held high in his heart.

At that time, her father was setting up a stall in the market to write letters for others, and someone made trouble, and they wanted to charge him for the stall fee and drove him away.

He happened to go shopping at the fair that day, so he helped beat off a few gangsters.Because her father's foot was broken, she kindly carried him to the clinic to get medicine for bone setting, and then went back to Yunjia Village with him on her back.

There, she fell in love with Qiao Jinniang immediately.

At that time, he only felt as if his breath was being choked for an instant, and his chest was pounding violently.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman.The face is small, not as big as his palm, and the eyes are big and lively.Nose, lips, and those pink and tender ears... He just thinks everything looks good, just like the people in the paintings.

After I came back, I couldn't forget it after tossing and turning, so I took the opportunity to visit the doctor frequently, hoping to get another glimpse.

Later, when the family wanted to arrange a marriage for him, he immediately thought of her.

Only the mother disagrees.

It is said that the sour scholar who came from outside didn't know his roots, he didn't have a room, and he didn't have an acre of land. He brought a widowed mother to live in his wife's village. Apart from being able to write a few words, he couldn't even pick up a hoe.

Such a family may be too poor to prepare a dowry, and there is no clan to help them fight.

He didn't care what he heard, he wanted to order Qiao Jinniang, the eldest daughter of this family.Otherwise, I will not marry a wife.

He also went to find Qiao Xiucai himself.

Qiao Xiucai agreed to him because he had rescued him and felt that this man had good character, strength and affection for his daughter.

Seeing that Qiao's family didn't ask for much dowry, and they couldn't handle their stubborn son, she turned a blind eye and agreed.

In the end, Yue's family only spent one or two dowry money to marry Qiao Jinniang.

Yue Zhongyao got married, and he only felt that his life would be happy from now on.

His wife was three years younger than him, and she had just grown up when she married him.She read and read with her father since she was a child, and was taught by her grandmother herself since she was a child. I heard that she has a little knowledge of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.He was also good at embroidery. He had seen that the mandarin ducks embroidered on the red wedding dress looked as if they were alive.

In the few months of their newlyweds, he was full of ambition and smiled when he met everyone.His wife is no worse than girls in the town or the city, how can she be compared to those black girls in the countryside?

He also knew that his wife looked down on him for being a big and rough man, and thought he was uneducated.

Later, he gritted his teeth and borrowed several books from Yue's family. Relying on the few big characters he knew when he was a child, he gnawed through those books word by word.

If he didn't understand, he secretly ran to Yue's house to ask his father-in-law for advice, only hoping that his wife would give him a high look.

His wife Qiao Mingjin didn't know how to do farm work, so he never cared.

When his mother pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, he secretly helped her do more work.

Everything is willing to follow her.He himself didn't feel anything about her cold personality, and he always felt that his wife was wronged by marrying him...

For four years, he thought of her all the time on the battlefield, thinking of his wife's smooth Sai Xue's skin...

He knew that he promised to marry another woman as his equal wife, and she must be heartbroken.Only then did I think of taking my daughter back to her natal home.

Seeing her lying on the bed silently for the past few days made his heart ache.Every day before dawn, I got up and went to the market to buy meat, and when I came back, I made meat porridge for her.

He had just received a job for less than a month, and he had the courage to ask the headhunter for a few days off to stay with him at home.

Seeing her lying on the bed and looking at him so coldly now, Yue Zhongyao felt a little flustered in his heart, afraid that she would say anything about reconciliation.
