peasant girl

Chapter 23, They first met
But it is impossible for her to say that she will kill Zhao Shi and Zhu Erlang.

Even in the past, she had experienced so much since she was a child, and was so persecuted by her parents and relatives, she just stayed away, and never thought of revenge or harm.

Now for Zhao Shi, she hopes that Zhao Shi will change.

Mrs. Zhao can be cowardly, selfish, and greedy for money, but the only thing is that she hopes that Mrs. Zhao will treat Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Hua'er better and have more maternal love. She also hopes that Mrs. Zhao understands that this is her child that fell from her body. Meat.

She gave birth to them, and she couldn't resent them just because they were daughters.

I can give Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer some warmth and maternal love.

This is the wish of the dead Zhu Xiao.

So now she puts pressure on Zhao Shi, forcing Zhao Shi to change.

But now it seems that the effect is not very good, is it necessary to change the method?

"call!"

Zhu Xiao let out a breath.

After prostrating a few more times, he stepped out of the small temple.

Then I saw a man coming.

He was a little far away, and Zhu Xiao didn't look carefully.

Just about to take a step, the originally clear sky suddenly rang several thunderclaps.

"Boom!"

Then came the downpour.

Scared so much that Zhu Xiao immediately withdrew his feet and hid from the rain under the eaves of the temple.

Xun Muyang also didn't expect that it would rain suddenly on this kind of day, and he was caught off guard. It was unrealistic to go back. Looking at the small temple in front, he quickly stepped into the small temple to hide from the rain.

Zhu Xiao stood beside the eaves.

Xun Muyang stood on the other side.

This is the first time they met. She is 11 years old and Xun Muyang is 22 years old.

They all glanced at each other, then turned their heads again, and neither of them spoke.

In her eyes, he was tall and mighty, like a mountain, showing his arrogance.

In his eyes, she was thin and weak, like a little beggar, pitiful.

The contrast between them is so powerful.

It was raining heavily, as if the sky had opened a hole, and the rain was pouring down.

Zhu Xiaoyan saw that the rain might stop for a while, Xun Muyang gave her a sense of danger, so she simply stepped into the rain.

It was also a coincidence, so he fell into the mud and splashed all over the mud.

Her ankle seemed to be sprained, and she gritted her teeth in pain, but she still managed to stand up and limped away.

The road I choose, even if it hurts, I have to finish it.

"..."

Xun Muyang stood under the eaves, pursed his lips slightly, shook his head and said softly, "Childish!"

Look away and look at this inexplicable heavy rain.

On the way back, the rain became smaller and smaller, and it was only drizzle when we got home.

Seeing that Zhu Xiao was drenched, Zhu Hua'er was astonished, "Second Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, just change clothes!" Zhu Xiao went into the room to find clothes to change.

In fact, their clothes are very few, Zhu Jinzhi wears them and then mends them to be worn out.

By the time Zhu Xiao got dressed, the rain had stopped and the sky continued to clear again.

"This weird weather!" Zhu Xiao murmured softly, and asked Zhu Hua'er to help boil hot water, wash her hair with soap locust solution, and then washed Zhu Hua'er again, and the two sisters sat under the eaves to bask in the sun.

Zhu Erlang went out, but Zhu Xiao didn't ask.

Mrs. Zhao carried the sling on her back and went out, Zhu Xiao didn't ask, enjoying the short-term peace.

Zhu Hua'er was still young, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Second Sister..."

"Don't think about it, even if you are lazy, today is the day, and tomorrow we will have our own work!"

Zhu Xiao knew very well that as long as he was still at home, he had to work.

No matter what you do, you must always allocate clearly.

"Second Sister, what should we choose?" Zhu Hua'er asked.

"Let's hunt pigweed, cut grass and feed the rabbits, and there is a requirement, as long as the pigs eat and the rabbits eat, no matter what we do, the family can't control us!"

"..." Zhu Hua'er was surprised, "Can it still be like this?"

"Of course!"

"What does Second Sister want to do?"

"make money!"

"call……"

Zhu Huaer exclaimed.

Looking at Zhu Xiao, he asked in a low voice, "Second Sister, what do we do to make money?"

"Say more!"

Zhu Xiao looked up at the blue sky.

There is always a way to make money.

She also had to make money in order to get out of this sea of ​​suffering.

"I listen to the second sister!"

Zhu Huaer also wants to make money.

She is now eight years old and has never received a penny.

Zhu Jinzhi has more than 30 papers in her hand, and she is very proud. She must save [-] papers, which is more than Zhu Jinzhi.

It was a bit hot that day, Mrs. Zhao went out to hunt pigweed, was drenched in the rain again, and came home angrily. Seeing the sisters sitting under the eaves basking in the sun, she almost lost her breath.

"Xiao Xiao, Hua'er, why don't you go hunt pigweed?" Zhao asked.

"..."

Zhu Hua'er looked at Zhu Xiao, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Zhu Xiao said lightly, "This is not our job, why should we go?"

"Yes, it's okay to be the ones who hunt pigweed!"

"Today is different!" Zhu finished the novel, got up and entered the house.

Zhu Huaer hurriedly followed.

Zhao stomped her feet angrily, and went back to the house to change clothes. Thinking of her three daughters like this, she lay on the bed and cried bitterly.

Zhu Erlang went to Dr. Zhang's house first, paid for the medicine, and then went to Zhu Fugui's house.

Knowing that Zhu Fugui was going into the mountains tomorrow morning, he made an appointment to go together tomorrow, and then returned home.

Although there are many Zhu family members, they are not in the same mind and each has their own thoughts. When Zhu Erlang came back, Mrs. Zhao was busy cooking pig grass by herself in the kitchen.

"..."

There was no one in the big room, and Lu Shi didn't know where he had gone.

Mrs. Zhao was sweating profusely, carrying the pig food with great difficulty.

Zhu Erlang stepped forward to take it.

"Erlang..." Mrs. Zhao called out softly.

"Did you do all these jobs before?" Zhu Erlang asked.

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she shook her head, "I didn't do it, I recruited them. I'm in charge of washing clothes and cooking!"

"What about sister-in-law?"

"They don't do work, they do needlework in the house!" Zhao said softly.

Xiao Lu's needlework is actually not as good as hers, and the soles of her shoes are not as fine as hers, but she dare not object to her mother-in-law's arrangement.

Zhu Erlang said nothing, and went to feed the pigs with a bucket of pig food.

Several big fat pigs howled when they saw food.

Zhu Erlang poured the pig food into the trough, watched them eat, and went back to the kitchen to give them a few buckets to eat.

I went to the house where the rabbits were kept at the back. There were hundreds of rabbits. When I saw him, I was a little panicked, and the room smelled bad.

There was a pile of hay on one side, and Zhu Erlang took it and threw it to them to eat.

Leave in silence.

Go to see the chicken ring again.

There are forty or fifty roosters and hens in total.

"..."

Zhu Erlang took a deep breath.

Such a family provides for a child student who is about to take the exam for a scholar.

He earns 36 taels a year, and his elder brother earns 18 taels a year, making a total of 54 taels. The coefficient is given to Zongbao and Mingguang to study.

He used to not complain, and felt that there was no need to separate you and me in a family. He also thought that as long as Zong Bao became a scholar and Ming Guang had a future, he would always be honored as a brother and second uncle.

He focused on working and making money, never took care of his wife and daughter, and always thought that they would not worry about food and clothing or be bullied at home, and the family had to be supported by him.

But the result...

Not at all!
Zhu Erlang slowly arrived at the main room, sat on a chair and waited for old man Zhu and Mrs. Lu to come back.

Zhu Dalang was about to go out for a stroll, but when he saw Zhu Erlang in the main room, he was surprised, "Erlang, why are you sitting here alone?"

"Brother, sit down and let's talk!"

"..." Zhu Dalang hesitated for a moment, walked over and sat down.

"Brother, I'm your real brother!" Zhu Erlang asked casually.

Looking at his rough hands that have done countless jobs.

"..." Zhu Dalang's heart twitched when he heard the words, and he was a little flustered, "Of course you are my brother, why would you ask such a question?"

If Zhou Zhoulang raised his eyes to look at Zhu Dalang, he would see his nervous expression and dodging eyes.

"Brother, all these years, you have handed over all the money you earn to your mother, do you have any complaints in your heart?" Zhu Erlang asked again.

"This this……"

It was difficult for Zhu Dalang to answer this question.

Because Mingguang is about to take the exam for the children, and he needs to spend money everywhere.

The point he earns, if calculated carefully, may only be enough to repair Ming Guangliang and buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones, or even not enough.

Thinking of Zhu Erlang's money, he handed over all the money, and the penny was useless in the second room. Now that Zhu Erlang said he would not go to work in the town, even if he made money, he would pay as much as Zhu Erlang paid.

The more he thought about it, the more flustered Zhu Dalang became.

I also blamed my parents and Xiao Lu in my heart.

Have their brains been kicked by donkeys?I don't know who supports this family?

"Brother doesn't have it, and it's still being cleaned up. After all, brother Jia Mingguang is studying in the academy. Although the money earned by the elder brother is handed over to the mother, it is all used on Mingguang, and what I earn is not spent on my daughter. On the body, they work at home, don’t have enough to eat, don’t wear clothes well, and are beaten, but I complain!” Zhu Erlang said in a deep voice.

When Zhu Dalang heard this, he didn't dare to answer a word.

To be honest, he was really afraid that Zhu Erlang would give up his pick and not go to work in the town.

"However, no matter how complaining, I'll just be an idiot. I won't go to work in the town. I'll stay at home and do some farm work. I'll go to the mountains to catch some wild game. I can live my life as long as I don't starve to death!" Zhu Erlang said. Then, after a slight pause, he continued, "It's just that the work in this family must be properly distributed!"

"..."

Zhu Dalang panicked even more.

"Erro..."

"Ok?"

"We are family!"

"Is it a family? Does my eldest brother and sister-in-law really regard our second room as a family? Do my parents really regard my wife and daughter as a family?" Zhu Erlang asked back.

Zhu Dalang who asked was speechless.

There are some things that Zhu Erlang doesn't know, but he knows very clearly.

Old man Zhu and Mrs. Lu came back and saw the two brothers in the main room, old man Zhu frowned.

"Father, mother!"

The two shouted in unison.

Old man Zhu beckoned them to sit down.

He also thought about it a lot. With the current situation at home, Zhu Erlang still had to go to work, otherwise Zong Bao would have to take the examination of Juren after being admitted as a scholar, which would cost more money than the examination of a scholar.

"Go and call them all over, I have something to say!" Old man Zhu said to Mrs. Lu.

Look very serious.
