peasant girl

Chapter 22, Righteous Words

The food is not delicious, but there are white flour steamed buns.

But it's not as good as the bacon pancakes in the morning.

A little Lu Shi and a Zhu Zhaodi were missing at the dinner table, no one mentioned it, they all ate in silence.

To eat a good meal is to wash the dishes.

In the past, this kind of work was done by the three sisters Zhu Xiaosan, but today Lu Shi suddenly said, "Xiao Xiao, go and play, grandma is here to wash the dishes!"

"..."

"..."

Zhu Hua'er and Zhao Shi were astonished.

Zhu Xiao hooked her lips, pulled Zhu Hua'er and left.

Since Mrs. Lu wants to wash the dishes, let Mrs. Lu do the washing.

Zhu Erlang narrowed his eyes slightly, got up and chased the two sisters Zhu.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said, "Mom, let me wash it!"

"Alright, then you can do the washing, remember to wash the dishes, take them to feed the pigs, and feed the chickens in the backyard, and then go to the grass, the rabbits haven't been fed yet!" Lu Shi ordered one by one. .

Zhao's eyes were dazed when he heard it.

Why is there so much work all of a sudden?
In the past, her work was washing clothes, sweeping the floor, cooking, cutting pigweed, and feeding rabbits, all of which were done by recruits, but now it was all on her, and she complained in her heart about Zhu Xiao's ignorance.

But she didn't dare to refuse, so she could only nod her head, "Got it, mother!"

"Well, take your time, I'll take a break, everyone is not at ease..." After Lu Shi finished speaking, he twisted and left.

Looking at the bowls and chopsticks on the table, Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips, and couldn't help but her eyes turned red again.

But he still rolled up his sleeves and started to clean up.

Zhu Xiao took Zhu Hua'er and walked towards the courtyard of the second room. Zhu Erlang caught up and called softly, "Xiao Xiao!"

Zhu Xiao and Zhu Huaer stopped and looked back at Zhu Erlang.

"Father!" Zhu Hua'er called softly, a little nervous.

Zhu Xiao silently looked at Zhu Erlang.

Zhu Erlang looked at Zhu Xiao's calm look, and sighed slightly in his heart, this daughter might not be easy to fool, "Hua'er, go and see your eldest sister, I have something to talk to your second sister!"

"Oh!" Zhu Hua'er responded and walked away.

After walking a few steps, he looked back and thought about Zhu Xiao, and couldn't help but ask, "Father, you won't hit the second sister, right?"

"..."

"It's really not Second Sister's fault today, Jin Zhi and the others always scold us and beat us, if you want to beat Second Sister, can you let me get beaten for Second Sister?" Zhu Hua'er said again.

"Hua'er, go in!" Zhu Xiao said lightly.

"Oh!" Zhu Hua'er responded obediently, and walked away, but she still turned around every step, fearing that Zhu Erlang would hit Zhu Xiao.

Zhu Erlang looked sad.

He never thought that in the hearts of his daughters, he, as a father, was so untrustworthy.

"Xiao Xiao, can we talk?" Zhu Erlang asked.

"Talk? How to talk?" Zhu Xiao asked with a faint smile.

His eyes are full of indifference.

There is no admiration, and no trust.

"that is……"

Zhu Xiao raised his hand to interrupt Zhu Erlang, "If you want me to apologize, it's impossible, I won't apologize, because I'm right, I will stab her with scissors today, if she still wants to beat us sister three Well, I will chop her with a kitchen knife and let her blood splatter on the spot!"

Zhu Erlang was terrified when he heard that, "You, you are not afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Killing people pays for their lives? To be honest, I'm really not afraid!"

"..."

Zhu Erlang took a few steps back in shock.

Surprised and regretted, "Xiao Xiao, you are a girl, why..."

"Why so extreme? So ruthless?" Zhu Xiaowen, his eyes full of tenacity, said word by word, "Because parents don't protect, grandparents don't kiss, relatives bully, sisters are weak, there is no safe place to live in this world, If you are not strong, you will be eaten to pieces!"

"..." Zhu Erlang was startled and distressed.

This is his daughter.

Although she had never hugged or loved her seriously, it was undeniable that his blood flowed in her body, calling her his father's daughter.

But she would rather be fierce than trust him, believing that he can protect her.

"Xiao Xiao, it's dad who's sorry for you!"

"It's true that you are sorry for us. Although you gave birth to us, you never raised or protected us, so don't tell me so many rules. I won't listen or pay attention. If you think I'm unfilial, you can put me Throw it out, or sell it, but don't worry about what I do, and don't think that I will listen to you and do something that will lose my dignity!" Zhu finished the novel and walked towards the back door.

Zhu Erlang exclaimed, "Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?"

"I went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and asked the Bodhisattva, if I do this, is it considered unfilial, and will I be struck by lightning!" Zhu finished the novel and went out.

Zhu Erlang stood where he was, silent for a long time.

Zhu Xiao's few words filled his mind, "Parents don't protect, grandparents don't kiss, relatives bully, sisters are weak!"

He was wrong.

Over the years, it has been so wrong.

Now he changed it, he made it up, and I hope there is still time.

Zhu Fugui's home
Seeing her husband and Xun Muyang coming back, Lan Zhen smiled and poured hot water for them to wash their faces.

"The food is ready, just wait for you to come back to eat!"

"Hey!" Zhu Fugui laughed, and loaded the things into the carriage. A few children ran over, and he hurriedly brought grapes to the children, "Hurry up and let my aunt wash and eat!"

"En!"

Several children immediately called aunt.

Zhu Danniang was not in good spirits, and she didn't dare to see Xun Muyang who was washing his face and hands in the house. She brought grapes and took a few children to wash and eat.

Even if she has Xun Muyang in her heart, but because of what her sister-in-law Lan Zhen said, she dare not think anymore.

She knew that the marriage with Xun Muyang would not work out, and she could only marry in the town in the future. If she offended her sister-in-law, she would not be able to stand upright in her in-law's house after the dowry was gone.

Sigh softly.

When eating, Lan Zhen made some food for Xun Muyang before eating by herself.

Xun Muyang ate the vegetables in his bowl, never touching those on the table, and drank a cup of soup at the end.

His habit is like this, Zhu Fugui's parents also know that, although they have doubts in their hearts, seeing Xun Muyang's wealth and honor, his fierce aura is not like ordinary people, and they also turn a blind eye.

After dinner, Xun Muyang was going back to the mountain, and Lan Zhen prepared food for him in the kitchen.

When sending Xun Muyang away, Lan Zhen couldn't help but said, "Why don't I go to the mountains to wash and cook for you!"

"No, I'm fine by myself!" Xun Muyang shook his head slightly, looking at the mountains.

I don't quite understand, what is the fate that the master is talking about?
He has been waiting here for many years...

"But you don't know how to cook, it's not good for your health if you are hungry and full!" Lan Zhen felt distressed.

As long as Xun Muyang opened his mouth, she would immediately pack up her things and follow her to the mountains.

"No problem, I'm leaving!"

I have been here for several years, and there are still three years left?

He might not be able to wait for his fate!
The master always told him to wait, but he didn't tell him what he was waiting for.

Xun Muyang smiled and walked slowly towards the mountain.

in the temple
Zhu Xiao knelt on the futon, looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva, clasped his hands together, and bowed devoutly.

"Bodhisattva, I am not a good man and believer, I can't be bullied, but I am not a heinous villain, and I will not do those things that hurt the nature and reason. I am grateful to God for giving me a chance to be reborn. For, don’t do it because the evil is small!”

After Zhu finished his novel, he kowtowed again.

"If someone deceives me, I will pay back ten times. If someone is kind to me, I will pay back a hundred times. I will treat good with good and evil with evil!"

During the third prostration, Zhu Xiao didn't speak.

But he made a promise to the dead Zhu Xiaoxu.

Sisters, she will take good care of them so that they can grow up safely, marry a good husband and live happily ever after.

Parents...

This is just by chance.

She makes no guarantees!
