peasant girl

Chapter 5, Father is back
Zhu Hua'er came in with water, and wiped Zhu Zhaodi first. Looking at the blood bag on Zhu Zhaodi's forehead, Zhu Huaer sobbed a few times.

I went to fetch water again and came in to wipe Zhu Xiao.

Zhu Xiao's face was swollen, and there was blood on his forehead.

Zhu Hua'er wiped it for her, and Zhu Xiao gasped in pain.

"Second sister, I'm already very light!" Zhu Hua'er whispered.

The three sisters really regarded Zhao as air.

Although the egg soup in her hand was really fragrant, and the three sisters were growling with hunger, but no one paid attention to her, nor said they wanted to eat.

Mrs. Zhao was really embarrassed. At the same time, she was heartbroken.

"I made egg soup, can you have some?"

Zhu Xiao gently pushed Zhu Hua'er away, and looked at Zhao Shi coldly, "Do you think we can get better by eating a bowl of egg soup? We won't get better, we almost died, you know Almost died! Where were you when we were beaten? You stood under the eaves and cried with a sad face. If you really take us seriously, you should jump on them and fight them desperately. You should be a torch This house is burned, let's see if they still dare to bully us and beat us to death!"

Zhao's eyes widened.

I think Zhu Xiao is crazy.

Zhu Xiao looked at Mrs. Zhao and sneered, "I know you dare not, so take it out, it's fine for us to starve to death in this room!"

"Xiao Xiao, don't be like this, don't treat mother like this, mother, mother feels bad..." Zhao cried out.

"Well, you are uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, we know that because you cried!" Zhu Xiaoxiao exhaled slightly as he spoke.

"But your tears are really useless to us. If you are really uncomfortable, you should protect us. You didn't give birth to a son, but you gave birth to three daughters. Sometimes daughters are no worse than sons!" Zhu Xiao's voice was very cold.

It hit Zhao's heart directly.

It was because she couldn't give birth to a son that she was particularly hopeless.

He didn't even dare to think about resisting.

"If you can't protect us, then don't pretend to be in front of us, put away your tears, and your hypocrisy!" After Zhu finished the novel, he took the pot and bowl from Zhao's hand and put them in the On the kang, scooped up some, and helped Zhaodi get up to eat.

Holding the bowl, Zhu Zhaodi glanced at Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, have you eaten yet?"

"me……"

Zhao was crying again.

Zhu Zhaodi knew that she hadn't eaten.

In this family, their second wife is the one who is being bullied. They have to do dirty, hard, and tiring work, and they have no food to eat.

"Mother, sit down and eat!" Zhu Zhaodi said.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhu Zhaodi happily.

He went to look at Zhu Xiao who had a sullen face, and Zhu Hua'er who walked in and scooped up the chicken soup silently.

"I, I'm not hungry!" But, just after Zhao finished speaking, his stomach started to growl.

Zhu Xiao didn't speak.

Zhu Hua'er was also silent.

Zhu Zhaodi sighed again, "Mother, sit down and let's eat together!"

After all, Zhu Zhaodi was a little softer.

Especially looking at the scars on Zhao's neck, Zhu Zhaodi suddenly understood.

Scooped egg soup for Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, if you really treat us as your daughters, fight for us. I don't want to marry someone else as a concubine. If you really want me to marry, I will die!" Zhu Zhaodi said After that, he lay down gently on the kang.

She was very dizzy.

Don't want to say a word.

Mrs. Zhao's hand holding the bowl was shaking.

Tears had already blurred his vision, and he said after a while, "I, I know!"

Served with egg soup.

I used to think that this is a delicacy in the world, but now it is hard to swallow.

Zhu Xiao fed Zhu Zhaodi some soup. She knew that Zhu Zhaodi must have a concussion and must rest well.

As for the doctor, Zhu Xiao didn't think that Xiao Lu could invite the doctor.

Sure enough, Xiao Lu wandered outside for a while, and came back to say that the doctor was not at home and had gone to see a doctor.

In the room, the mother and daughter were all silent.

Zhu Xiao lay down to rest, surrounded by Zhu Zhaodi with her eyes closed, and Zhu Hua'er sat at the door, ignoring Zhao Shi at all.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the three daughters and kept wiping away her tears.

In the evening, the pigs in the pigsty hadn't eaten yet, and kept barking.

Old man Zhu asked Mrs. Lu to cook pig grass, and Mrs. Lu went to cook pig food for the five pigs cursing. Not to mention tired, he was sweating all over.

After the pig food was cooked, old man Zhu asked her to make dinner with Xiao Lushi.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did cook it, but the taste was not good, and there was less cooking. They didn't cook it for the second wife and four. Old man Zhu looked at the food on the table.

Coarse grain rice, a pickle, a scrambled egg, and a fried bean with shredded fatty pork.

"Daughter-in-law, have you really been to the doctor's house?"

Little Lu's heart skipped a beat, "Go!"

"Really?" Old man Zhu sighed.

Little Lu was startled, and hurriedly said, "Father, father, how much will it cost to invite a doctor here!"

"Crack!" Old man Zhu took the bowl and smashed it on the ground, "The second child will be back tonight, do you know?"

"..."

"..."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly realized.

Although the second child doesn't talk much, he comes back once every half a month on weekdays, and he comes back at night, stays at home for one night, and leaves in the morning.

Even during Chinese New Year, in order to make more money, sometimes I come back on New Year’s Eve, and I have to go out on the second day of junior high school, and sometimes I don’t come back on New Year’s Eve.

So he didn't know what kind of life his wife and daughter lived at home.

Zhao didn't dare to say.

The children were not close to Zhu Erlang either.

If Zhao came back this time and cried out, what would Zhu Erlang think?
"I, I'm going to call for a doctor right now!" Xiao Lu said, and was about to go outside.

Lu Shi said, "I'll cook some more rice!"

It was only when Xiao Lu arrived at the gate that he saw Zhu Dalang and Zhu Erlang approaching.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Erlang looks much better, a head taller than Zhu Dalang, although he is tanned, but Xiao Lu actually fell in love with Zhu Erlang back then, but his family disagreed, and neither did Lu, so in the end he just Can marry Zhu Dalang.

For this reason, she hated Mrs. Zhao to the core.

After all, when Mrs. Zhao married in, Shui Lingling was much prettier than her.

Over the years of overt and secret running and bullying, Mrs. Zhao has no sense of existence in her natal family. After marrying into Zhu's family, she can't have a son, and she doesn't dare to show it.

"Dalang, Erlang, you are back!"

Zhu Dalang looked at Xiao Lu and didn't speak.

But Zhu Erlang thought about what the person who went to the town called him said.

"Erlang, as men, what are we looking for outside? It's not for our wives and children to eat, wear warm, and live like a human being. But you work outside all year long and hand over all the money you earn. Have you ever thought about how the wife and daughter at home live? Hungry, punished kneeling, being bullied, are commonplace, never stop, is it really interesting for you to be like this?"

Zhu Erlang was in a trance for a moment.

All these years, he has lived like this.

I work outside to make money, come back once every half month, stay at home for one night and leave, day after day, year after year.

He always thought that the family was like that, especially after the third younger brother went to take the talent examination, he felt that life in the family would be difficult, so the children were skinny, it didn't matter that Mrs. Zhao was skinny, and it didn't matter that they were poorly dressed.

The big house is like this too.

But today, at this time, I looked at the clothes on Dafang's sister-in-law.

cotton.

The whole piece is old, but it has been washed clean and there are no patches on it.

"..."

Zhu Erlang nodded and responded.

Stepped into the house.
