suspected wife

The place where the Yue family is located is called Shanghe Village.

Because there is a river running through the whole village.It was originally called Changhe Village, where the Yue family lived together.

Later, more and more people with foreign surnames lived there, gradually becoming a village with mixed surnames.They gradually lived in the upper and lower reaches of the river, so later there were two larger villages, Shanghe and Xiahe.

Although there are many mixed surnames in Shanghe Village, the Yue surname is still the common surname in the village.

Decades ago in Shanghe Village, a scholar surnamed Yue became a Jinshi and went to work as an official in another place. Before he left, he paid for a well dug in the village and built a well platform, which made it easier for the villagers in Shanghe Village to drink water. Jinshi also won the support of the villagers.

On weekdays, if the villagers in Shanghe want to drink water, they all go to that well to pick it up.The well has water all the year round and never runs dry.The villagers have very convenient access to water.

Now Qiao Mingjin took her daughter to the well.

The area is quite spacious, with a depth of twenty feet.Except for the well in the middle, the sides were smoothed with stone slabs and paved around the well, and the outside was surrounded by stones, leaving only a few water outlets and a spacious doorway for people to enter and exit.

The stone base is not high, just slightly higher than an adult's knee and half an arm's width.

There are two ponds on both sides of the stone base for the villagers to wash some large clothes and various grains, sweet potatoes, taro and so on.

In addition to the stone pool piled with stones, two adult-high small houses were built with stones. The open-air ones have no roofs, and are usually used for people who come back from work to bathe and change by the well.Later, it gradually became a bathing room for the villagers.

Most of the men in the village also take a shower in the bathing room that comes to the well in the evening.But most of the men were at the edge of the well, and they poured water on their bodies after they picked it up. They poured a few buckets of water on their bodies and they were clean, and the two enclosures became changing places.

Later at night, those two enclosures became the exclusive bathing rooms for girls and wives.

Few of the girls came out to wash, and most of them were married young daughters-in-law who came out with their sisters-in-law and mother-in-law, or were brought by their husbands and sons-in-law.

There are also half-grown girls who go to the well to take a bath together, and they dare not come alone.Someone has to let the wind out, in case a man suddenly appears.

Therefore, this well is extremely convenient, and it is convenient for the whole village of Shanghe Village.

The name of the clansman surnamed Yue has always been remembered by the people in the village.

When Qiao Mingjin led her daughter to the well, it was already high in the sun, and there was no one at the well by now.

The women in the village usually go to the well to wash clothes at dawn, in order to catch the sun so that they can dry their clothes.After washing the clothes and returning home to feed the livestock at home, he hurried off to the field again.

Most of the women who will appear by the well will be those who are called sluts.

Qiao Mingjin was relieved to see that there would be no one by the well.She's not used to flirting with people she doesn't know well.

Qiao Mingjin sat on the pedestal with her daughter in her arms. Seeing that she sat down obediently, she chose a place and put down the wooden basin in her hand.He took the gourd scoop aside, went to the well and picked up the common wooden bucket by the well to draw water into the well.

Although Qiao Mingjin had memories of using a wooden bucket to fetch water into a well with a three-foot round mouth, she still felt uneasy.

Grasp the rope and slowly extend the barrel into the well. When it touches the water, shake the rope with both hands, and the barrel will swing from side to side. Once buckled, the wooden bucket sank in, and the water was full.

Qiao Mingjin grabbed the rope and exchanged hands with each other, pulling the rope up little by little.

After lifting the bucket up, I was a little out of breath.

Still a little dizzy and hungry.

As soon as Qiao Mingjin settled down, she heard a worried voice from her daughter behind her: "Mom!"

"Hey." Qiao Mingjin responded and turned to look.

The daughter stood up on the stone platform by herself, and looked towards her.

Then he smiled and said: "Mother is fine, just sit there obediently, don't come this way. It's slipping this way."

Seeing her daughter nodding again and again, she picked up the water and poured it into the basin again.

Go back and forth like this three times, and the water in the wooden basin will be full.

Qiao Mingjin began to rub his clothes.

Yue's family doesn't have soap beans and other things, and they use plant ash to wash clothes.Fortunately, they are all clothes made of homemade cloth, so I don't have to worry about rubbing them hard.I'm not afraid of graying and yellowing, and I don't expect any fragrance after washing.It would be nice to wash it clean.

Xiao Wan'er sat on the stone platform and watched her mother wash clothes there, and slowly she also got off the stone platform and walked over to Qiao Mingjin's side.

Qiao Mingjin saw her squatting by the basin imitating herself, rubbing and beating her two little hands like her, so she smiled and let her go.

Helping to roll up her two sleeves, said: "Don't warm the clothes, or mother will have to wash one more."

Xiao Wan'er smiled at her mother and nodded, then buried her little hands in the wooden basin and rubbed them together, the little person squatted on the side of the wooden basin and was a little higher than the wooden basin.

Qiao Danjin didn't expect her to help, how much strength can a child have?If the child wants to be with her, let her be.

The mother and daughter talked and laughed while washing.In the middle of washing, Mrs. Yu also came.

As soon as he arrived, he looked around and said, "Oh, why is there no one at the well today?"

Qiao Mingjin glanced at her, nodded and said nothing.

Mrs. Yu may feel that this is not right, so she said again: "No, I mean why is there no other family to wash clothes today? It's not too late."

As he spoke, he walked over to Qiao Mingjin and put down the wooden basin.

Glancing at Xiao Wan'er, he said, "Oh, Xiao Wan'er also helps your mother wash clothes? It's really rare to be so capable at such a young age. I just want to have a daughter so that I can help with some work. My family Beishu is a skinny guy, so he doesn't know where he's gone. How obedient as Wan'er is."

Qiao Mingjin didn't speak after hearing this.

Of the three daughters-in-law of the Yue family, she, Qiao Mingjin, did not have a son.Both the Yu family and the Sun family are proud to have given birth to a grandson for the Yue family, and their waists are straight in front of her. She doesn't really think that what her sister-in-law said is true.

Seeing that Qiao Mingjin didn't answer, Mrs. Yu awkwardly took the wooden bucket beside her and started to fetch water.

What Qiao Mingjin washed was only her and Wan'er's mother and daughter's clothes, and the clothes were finished soon.

At the beginning, Mrs. Yu was talking to her while washing. Seeing Qiao Mingjin get up to fetch water to clean her clothes, she grabbed a large part from the basin and threw it in front of Qiao Mingjin.Said: "Third sister-in-law, wash these too. I have helped you wash your clothes for many days. Now that you are better, help me wash them together. This is really a bit too much."

Qiao Mingjin glanced at the pile of clothes, grabbed Lao Yuetou, Wu Shi, and Yue Xiaoman and put them in his basin, and pushed the others back.

To Shidao: "From now on, I will only wash our family's clothes, as well as those of my parents and fifth sister, and you will wash your own clothes for the rest. There is no reason for me to wash your men's clothes too."

Yu Shi stood there in a daze.

It's been a few years, why are you saying that she doesn't wash the clothes of her and the second sister-in-law's man?

Don't the three sisters-in-law take turns doing the laundry?When she was lying on the bed, didn't she help her man wash his clothes?

Yu Shi couldn't figure it out, and was also a little angry.He grabbed the clothes on the slate and threw them into his wooden tub resentfully, without saying a word, he just buried himself in the clothes and rubbed them vigorously.

Qiao Mingjin ignored her, and just wanted to finish washing as soon as possible and go home to have a rest.She was so hungry that she was convulsing a little, and her head was a little dizzy.

Qiao Mingjin quickly washed the clothes in her basin, told Yu Shi, and led her daughter home.Yu Shi didn't answer her, and Qiao Mingjin didn't care either.

When the mother and daughter were about to walk to the door, they saw a group of children shopping around a shopkeeper.There are also a few young daughter-in-laws and girls from the village who are also picking around.

Several people greeted Qiao Mingjin when they saw him.

Qiao Mingjin also nodded at them.I am feeling uncomfortable at this moment, and I am not in the mood to talk to them.

It's just that she didn't know that people in the village were sympathizing with her.Seeing that her complexion was not good, I didn't even talk to her, I just thought that she was in a bad mood when she learned that her husband was going to marry a bride.

Qiao Mingjin took her daughter, who frequently looked at the peddler's stall, to the house.

It's not that she can't see the longing in her daughter's eyes, which child is not gluttonous?

It's just that she doesn't have a single copper plate on her body.If there is, it is impossible to just buy it for the daughter to eat alone.I'm afraid that if I buy it, it won't fall into my daughter's mouth, and I will complain about hiding the money from my own house.

After Qiao Mingjin left, the young daughters-in-law began to bite their ears.

"It's so pitiful. She looks so good-looking. She was supposed to enjoy a blessed life. I didn't expect Lao San Yue to go to the battlefield just a few months after she got married. I thought she was going to die, and I felt sorry for her alone with a daughter. I didn't expect Yue Lao San is back again. I was just about to say that she has come through all hardships, but I never thought that this man is so lucky!"

"I heard that Yue Lao San was not willing to marry. His mother was greedy for other people's dowry."

"Hmph, Yue Laosan is also ruthless! With the job he is doing now, who can force him? If he doesn't nod, how dare his mother carry him home? Who will he bring him home?"

"That's right. That's why I said that Yue Lao San is not a thing. That Wan'er is such a sensible child. You see, my son is almost on the burden of the salesman, but that Wan'er didn't make a fuss. If that When the woman marries back and gives birth to Yue Laosan a son, the mother and daughter will be even more pitiful..."

Qiao Mingjin knew nothing about these words.

After she got home to dry her clothes, she went into the room and took a rest on the bed.Thinking of the way my daughter looked back step by step just now, I feel sore and unbearable.So I searched for her money in the room...
