peasant girl

Chapter 8, please your father

Lu's mother-in-law and Xiao Lu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other in blank dismay.

There is a feeling of hell.

"You little bastard!" Mrs. Lu cursed.

The pain from her body let her know that today's meal must be cooked.

"Hurry up and cook!" Shi Lu scolded.

The pigs in the pigsty are still howling, not full.

The chickens in the chicken coop have not been fed, and the rabbits in the cage behind seem to have not been fed either.

"Jin Zhi, take Jin Hong to feed the rabbits!"

"Ah, I'll go, the rabbit's nest smells so bad, Grandma, I won't go, you let Zhu Hua'er go, okay!" Zhu Jinzhi held Lu Shi's arm and shook it.

Lu Shi was in pain, and threw away Zhu Jinzhi, "Hurry up, I'll make you a new suit after the rabbit is sold!"

"Really?"

"Well, really!"

Zhu Jinzhi happily called Jin Hong to feed the rabbit.

My eldest brother is still studying in the town. If she also passes the Tongsheng exam, and then the scholar exam, she can marry to the town, or even the county seat.

Anyway, she doesn't want to marry Mudleg.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinzhi hated the younger sisters of the second room, because even if Huang Pi was thinner, all three of them looked better than her, especially Zhu Xiao.

Little bastard!

At Dr. Zhang's house, Dr. Zhang took the medicine, told Zhu Erlang how to suffer and how to eat, and sent Zhu Erlang out, and couldn't help shouting, "Erlang!"

"Doctor Zhang!"

"Your girls, you want them to be well!"

When Zhu Erlang heard this, his expression changed immediately.

In the darkness, although he couldn't see clearly, Doctor Zhang could still feel the changes in Zhu Erlang.

"Erlang, to tell you the truth, if your two older children are in another two years, let alone whether they will be able to have children after marriage, it is hard to say whether they will live to be 20 years old. The younger one in your family is not healthy. The deficit is severe, and so is your daughter-in-law, if things go on like this, you won't have a good life for a few years!"

Zhu Erlang stumbled back several times in fright.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Zhu Erlang laughed, "How could it be, how could it be..."

"Erlang, if you really care about them, you can take good care of them. If you want to marry again and have a son..." Doctor Zhang paused slightly, "But as a human being, you have to have a conscience. If you do evil today, you won't see the retribution. If you don’t believe me, wait and see, when will God let go of a bad guy with a black heart!”

Zhu Erlang didn't speak, but imitated the old man in the town, and gave Doctor Zhang a heavy salute, "Thank you, Doctor Zhang!"

Then turned around and walked quickly towards home.

When he arrived at the small river, Zhu Erlang sat by the river, covering his face and weeping.

why?
why?
Why do you treat his wife and daughter like this?Just because he couldn't bear a son?
But Mrs. Zhao is still young, and he is also young, so he can give birth to a son.

If it wasn't for this, why is there such a big difference between the first room and the second room?

He earns two liang of silver more than his eldest brother, and Mrs. Zhao and the three children also work, so why is his life not as good as that of pigs and dogs?

"Why? Why? God, tell me, why?"

Can't live to be twenty, can't live to be twenty.

His two daughters were only in their teens, how could their bodies be emptied at their teenage years.

"Ah, ah!" Zhu Erlang yelled, moved the stone and threw it into the river.

But he couldn't calm down the anger in his heart.

Thinking of his wife and daughter waiting for his medicine, Zhu Erlang shook his hands and slowly walked home with the medicine.

At the door of the house, Zhu Dalang shouted, "Erlang is back!"

"En!" Zhu Erlang responded lightly.

I really don't want to talk to him.

What kind of wife he married, just beat his daughter like that.

"..." Zhu Dalang swallowed, "Your sister-in-law didn't do it on purpose, she..."

"Big brother, I call you big brother, so don't fool me here. You ask yourself, is it intentional? She doesn't have a clue? This is not the first time, but it happens often. I really don't know, are you How did you open your eyes and talk nonsense!"

After Zhu Erlang finished speaking, he took the medicine and entered the house.

He went straight to the kitchen and found a medicine jar to make medicine for the couple.

Don't call Lu Shi, let alone talk to little Lu Shi.

I found two stoves and two medicine pots by myself, cleaned them up, took charcoal and water, and moved to the yard of the second room.

"..."

"..."

Both Lu Shi and Xiao Lu felt something was wrong.

This kind of badness made the two of them flustered.

Especially Lu Shi.

She always felt that disaster was imminent.

At least for the time being, old man Zhu thought that Zhu Erlang was just joking around. After a few days, he persuaded him again, and Zhu Erlang went to town by himself.

But so far, that's not the case.

How to do?
Zhu Erlang came back with the things, Zhu Hua'er stepped forward immediately, "Father, I will help you!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Erlang felt that his youngest daughter became much closer to him.

At least before, she never got up by herself.

He couldn't tell what he felt, but he remembered that his daughter hugged his leg, crying for help.

Hot tears soaked his pants.

It was so hot that his skin ached.

Mrs. Zhao was on the side, hesitated for a while before saying, "Let me help too!"

"Okay, three bowls of your medicine are boiled and one bowl is taken after meals. I'll go and see if the food is ready. I'll bring it over. Let's eat it in the yard. Is there a table in the house? I'll go and bring it out first!"

Zhu Erlang said, and went to serve the table.

Mrs. Zhao froze in place.

This is the first time my husband has spoken so much.

Could it be because of her change?Or is it because he's actually a nice guy?In the past, she was the coward who didn't realize that her husband actually cared about her very much. Even though she gave birth to three daughters and didn't give birth to him a son, he still didn't dislike her?
Either way, it's a good start!
"Remember, remember to talk to dad at night, we have suffered all these years, you must remember!" Zhu Huaer exhorted worriedly.

Mrs. Zhao nodded slightly.

"I've made a note, Hua'er, has Mother hurt you all these years?" Mrs. Zhao asked in a low voice.

"That's needless to say!" Zhu Hua'er finished speaking, and started to light the fire.

"..."

Mrs. Zhao was ashamed to continue talking.

When Zhu Erlang arrived in the kitchen, he saw that the food was all cooked and placed on the table, "Mother, let me bring some over and eat in the small courtyard!"

"..."

Lu Shi took a deep breath, "Mmm!" in response.

What a white-eyed wolf.

Zhu Erlang was not polite either, he found a bowl, drew half of it, took away a few steamed buns, scooped up half of the porridge in a clay pot, put them all on a board, and left with them.

I'm actually very upset.

Because he saw the plate of eggs and fried beans with meat strips in the cabinet.

He knew in his heart that that was the evening meal, but it was not prepared for him, nor for his wife and daughter.

what's it like...

Discomfort, anger.

He worked hard to make money outside, didn't save a single penny, and handed in all the money he earned, but his wife and daughter were treated like this.

Returning to the courtyard with the food, Mrs. Zhao immediately greeted him and helped him carry the things.

"Father!" Zhu Hua'er also called out, stepped forward to help carry the clay pot, and put it on the small table.

"Wow, dad, you even brought corn buns and beans. We used to have porridge and pickles at night!" Zhu Hua'er was delighted.
