Famous peasant girl has a little field

Chapter 340 Abandoning a wife and son is not a glorious thing

Shen Zhengde said kindly to Han Mei: "Daughter-in-law Hongxuan, do you have anything to say?"

Han Mei glanced at Li Shi, who had been silent behind Shen Zhengde, and said to Shen Zhengde, "I want to say a few words at home, and I would like to ask the patriarch to be more accommodating."

Shen Zhengde was hoping that Li Shi and Han Mei could get on with each other. Hearing that Han Mei took the initiative to keep her, he said to Li Shi: "Daughter-in-law, Hongxuan's daughter-in-law is sick and can't get enough wind, and it's boring to stay at home. You can stay and talk to her." A few words."

Mrs. Li agreed, and entered the door and took Han Mei's arm affectionately, "Sister and sister, it's cold outside, we have something to say inside."

Han Mei said 'hmm', and helped Ximei and Li Shi into the courtyard while supporting Ximei.

Shen Zhengde said to Shen Xiaoyu: "Yu'er also come into the house quickly, you are young, don't be frozen."

Shen Xiaoyu smiled at Shen Zhengde, closed the door, and came out after seeing Ximei helping Han Mei back to the house, knowing that Han Mei had something to say to Li Shi, she couldn't be there, so she ran back to her room .

Mrs. Li stayed in Han Mei's room for more than an hour. Ximei was going to have lunch, and Han Mei ordered in the room: "Sister-in-law Liutang will have dinner at home at noon, you cook two more dishes."

Ximei agreed and came over to ask Shen Xiaoyu what she wanted to eat.Shen Xiaoyu is not picky about what she eats, as long as she eats something delicious, she didn't ask Ximei to cook some special dishes because Mrs. Li was eating at home.

At lunch, Mrs. Li ate a lot of praise. She didn't expect that such an ugly Ximei could cook good dishes, even better than the chef at Duoweixuan last time.

It's even more unexpected that such a capable person would be willing to be a servant in Han Mei's house, it's really overkill.

After dinner, Mrs. Li said goodbye and went back.Han Mei just sat in the room in a daze.Shen Xiaoyu came to look at her, although Han Mei was laughing, it was ridiculously forced.

Shen Xiaoyu couldn't find out even after asking, she was anxious and had no choice but to know what Li Shi had said to Han Mei.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Li came over again and sent Han Mei the money compensated by Shen Chengping's family. Han Mei accepted half and returned the other half of the money Shen Zhengde had advanced to Li. Li Shi smiled and accepted it.

Han Mei said: "Sister-in-law, since I came back last night, I have been thinking about it. I bought the mountain. Although I didn't stop people from going up the mountain to cut firewood, it will inevitably make people feel dissatisfied. Like this time, someone went up the mountain to cut firewood." We happened to bump into the tree. But if someone destroys it on the mountain next time, we won’t be able to see it? And although those families lost money this time, it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t hold grudges. If they want revenge later, I can really Send people to the yamen? Although I haven’t seen anyone reach out when my family is in trouble these years, they are all surnamed Shen after all, and I can’t do it too ugly. And not everyone in the village is surnamed Shen, and the patriarch can control the Shen family , can you manage others?"

Mrs. Li frowned and said, "What you said is also reasonable, but what are you going to do about it?"

Han Mei said: "I thought about it. After this happened, I can no longer let people go up the mountain, but every family has to use firewood in winter, and the firewood that should be cut this year is almost the same. I will hire a few more people. On the mountain, in addition to helping me watch the forest, they can also cut some firewood along the way, sell it cheaper to those who need firewood at home, and earn a few small money to supplement the family."

Mrs. Li nodded, "You have a good idea. I'll help you choose the person, so you can rest assured. How much do you plan to pay? I can tell people when the time comes."

Han Mei said: "Just one tael of silver per month, my sister-in-law will help me hire ten people first."

Li said: "Isn't this too much? Usually, people in the village rarely earn a tael of silver when they work outside. You are still in the slack time, and you can hire people with five hundred coins." .”

Han Mei said: "I want to hire someone who suits my heart. If the person is not good, or if someone goes up the mountain and they turn a blind eye to the villagers, I will definitely return this person. For a tael of silver With wages, everyone will be able to devote themselves more to their work.”

Seeing that Han Mei's words were reasonable, Mrs. Li didn't try to persuade her any more, she just said: "You've already decided? In fact, why do you have to work so hard? Even if your man doesn't want to recognize your mothers, he still has to lose face, right? If you stand in front of him with your child in public, how dare he deny it? Abandoning a wife and son is not an honorable thing."

Han Mei shook his head, "Since he doesn't want to recognize us, why do we bother to recognize him? I raised the child by myself, and I don't lack money. Now my Wen Lang is promising and Yu'er has grown up. Standing in front of him one day in order to win one breath, that is the day when Wen Lang will become famous."

Mrs. Li sighed, "You are just too strong. Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you. You have come here without a man these years. Since he doesn't want to recognize you, I think you will have a hard time going to him. ,fair enough."

Han Mei said 'hmm', although she spoke well, but the strong nasal voice still let Li hear the sadness in her heart.

All these years, Han Mei raised her children by herself, suffered so much hardship, and suffered so many crimes, isn't it all because of waiting for Shen Hongxuan to come back?But finally got the news of his death.

This is not the most sad thing, after all these years, Han Mei has long been prepared.In the end, the most sad thing is that the man is rich, but he cheats to death and abandons his wife and son?Even someone as smooth as Li Shi wanted to stand in front of Shen Hongxuan and scold him.

After Mrs. Li left, Han Mei lay on the bed in a daze.If she was pretending to be sick before, but now she is really sick, there seems to be a fire burning in her chest, and her dizziness is getting more and more dizzy.

When Shen Xiaoyu came over, she saw that Han Mei's face was abnormally red, and when she reached out to touch it, she was startled by the heat. She quickly fed Han Mei some space lake water, and helped Han Mei run a few times to the toilet. It is to retreat the fever.

Shen Xiaoyu was worried, so she asked Ximei to invite old man Ke over.Old man Ke checked Han Mei's pulse, "Your mother is depressed, sometimes people have to think about it for themselves, isn't it just a few trees, if you cut it down, you can cut it down, and if you make people feel depressed, don't you?" Worth it."

Shen Xiaoyu thanked Old Man Ke, sent Old Man Ke out again, and said to Han Mei after returning, "Mother, why are you suddenly sick?"

Han Mei laughed bitterly, "Maybe it's really frozen?"

Shen Xiaoyu didn't believe it, but Han Mei refused to say it, and she was helpless.

When Shen Wen came back in the evening, Han Mei's fever subsided, but she was still in a bad mood. Shen Xiaoyu secretly added space water to the medicine she drank, but after drinking, Han Mei was still dispirited, and Shen Wen wanted to go. The theory of those schools was stopped by Shen Xiaoyu, after all Han Mei's illness may not be due to those schools.

With this illness, Han Mei lay in bed for five days, and Leng Junhao couldn't go out to see her off when he left.

When Leng Junhao came to bid farewell, he saw that Han Mei was really sick, so he sent a good ginseng, and asked the remaining servants to take care of Han Mei's house. If there was anything wrong, he would send him a letter as soon as possible. come over.
