Chapter 35 Repentance

Chapter 35 Repentance
"How much money do you have?" Song Yu was quite surprised. It's just a girl's film, but it's worth so much money?
Second Aunt Song stretched out three fingers to make a gesture of three, with an exaggerated expression, "It's a real deal of 30 taels of silver! Tsk tsk, even if you sell it to Yazi, you may not be able to sell it for 30 taels. It's a lot of money. Everyone in Zhuangzi envies him for raising a good daughter! I see that Dong Bao is not bad, if he can talk about such a relationship, and pay off the debt, the rest should be enough for Da Mao to study."

"I don't know if they can ask for so much." Uncle Song disapproved, "Speaking of which, Chen Yazi hasn't passed by our door for a long time..." After Chen Yazi sent Dongbao back, he came to Tagouji several times , but always walk around the door of the Song family.Once Uncle Song went out for a stroll and met Chen Yazi at the head of the village. He just went up and called out to ask how the job recommendation for Dongbao was going. It had been a long time, but Chen Yazi was like a dog As if chasing and biting him, he nodded at him and hurried away in the car.

Second Aunt Song was about to speak when she heard the words, but Second Uncle Song waved his hand impatiently, "Don't think about it so much, I saw that our mother didn't mean to sell Dongbao, and I talked to her for a long time. She just doesn't let go, what can I do? If you want to send Da Mao to study, our mother will definitely not agree. Still have time to think about this? Why don't you see what kind of rice you cook at noon?"

Song Yu almost lost his temper when he didn't eat a good meal. Fortunately, the family members ate by themselves. If outsiders knew about it, and his daughter-in-law cooked like that, where would he put his face?You can't even serve your own man well, how stupid!

"Then can you blame me! Isn't it because my sister-in-law is being lazy? I'm out of luck!" Second Aunt Song knew that she was wronged, so she only dared to mutter in a low voice, not daring to quarrel with Song Yu.

During dinner, Mrs. Li went into the kitchen to cook. Second Aunt Song saw it from the west wing through the curtain, and she was overjoyed. If Mrs. Li did not come out again, she would be very worried. Cursing is decided.

Sitting under the eaves, Mrs. Huang was picking up the soybeans harvested last year in a bamboo basket, ready to pick out good ones to make beans, and plant them in two days. When she saw Mrs. Li cooking, Dongbao cooking pot, Mrs. Huang left She curled her lips, and it was rare that she didn't scold or choke a few words.

During dinner, Mrs. Huang divided up nests for Dong Bao and Mrs. Li, and placed the miso and pickled vegetables a little closer to Mrs. Dong, and never made things difficult for Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Li.

After Li entered the house at night, she still couldn't believe it. She thought that if she didn't cook at noon, Huang would take the opportunity to scold her and vent her anger.

Dong Bao saw that Li Shi had a relaxed and happy smile on his face since he entered the room, and couldn't help asking: "Mother, what's the happy event, so happy?"

Li blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, and sat down on the edge of the bed next to Dong Bao, and whispered, "I didn't come out to cook at noon, and your grandma didn't say anything, so I'm a little..." In this family, only the daughter She is the closest, she is embarrassed to say these words to others, but she has no reservations about Dong Bao.

If Mrs. Li knew how to read and write, she would know that her inexplicably happy mood at this time can be defined as "being flattered". To make a living under Mrs. Huang, no matter how good she is at her job and how thoughtful she is at her service, it will still be her displeasure. The person who vented his anger from time to time, now has the cheek to not come out to cook, but Huang's attitude is better.

Dong Bao laughed, pointed to the direction of the west wing and whispered to Mrs. Li: "I just went to mix pig food for the pigs, and saw a few sorghum flour pancakes thrown into the pig trough, they were burnt black, and the pigs wouldn't even eat them. "

Mrs. Li was amazed. Farmers cherished food, even the landlords were not extravagant enough to feed sorghum flour pancakes to pigs. Such a waste of food would be punished by God.Mrs. Huang has always been strict about eating, and it is even more impossible for her to feed sorghum flour pancakes to pigs.

"I guess Second Aunt's cooking went wrong at noon, and I can't eat the meal. I think you can count on it." Dong Bao whispered, ever since Dong Bao could remember, Second Aunt Song either wandered around with her Ermao in her arms, or hid in the house. He wipes his face and hair with oil, and has never been in the kitchen to cook. It has been several years. Even if he was a good cook before, he can't cook anything good with his hands.

Although Mrs. Huang is interested in her ability to work, Mrs. Li still feels very proud.She is a traditional peasant woman, diligent and swift, and is good at field work and home work. In terms of ability, there are few daughter-in-laws in the village who are better than her.They are all sisters-in-law, and she very much disagrees with Second Aunt Song's lazy nature of stealing and cheating, but she has no son, so she is psychologically shorter than Second Aunt Song, and she will be bullied by Second Aunt Song.

"Tomorrow you still say that you have a headache and don't cook." Dong Bao suggested that by starving them a few times, they would realize the importance of Li Shi and respect Li Shi a little.

Mrs. Li naturally understood the meaning behind Dong Bao's words, shook her head and said, "What's the matter? Don't say that Big Mao and Er Mao are still young, your grandpa and your grandma are elders, how can I starve them because of a little resentment, what's the matter? Your father is gone, I can't ask the villagers to poke my spine. Besides, we have to eat, you just said that your second aunt Kang's pancakes don't eat pigs!"

Stupid filial piety, really stupid filial piety.Dong Bao shook his head in his heart, Xiucai's father is gone, and Li Shi has to do filial piety to Old Man Song and Huang Shi for him. If the Song family treats her sincerely, it's fine to treat Li Shi as their own family, but the Song family is all cold For those who love you, work for them with all your heart and soul, I'm afraid they still think you are not an automatic machine, and you have to eat after you work.

"Mother, my grandma beat you at noon, did you forget?" Dong Bao asked.

Li's expression froze, and a bit of embarrassment appeared on her face. She was beaten in front of her daughter and made such a big fuss. She was ashamed. She grew up so big that her biological parents were not willing to move a finger of her. Even though Song Xiucai treated her badly, she never beat her, but now she was beaten by her mother-in-law.

"She... is your grandma... I'm a junior, how can I... hold grudges." Li Shi said with difficulty, not looking at Dong Bao's face.

Dong Bao's heart tightened. She knew that Li Shi was kind and generous, but she didn't expect that the words that were meant to remind Li Shi just now exposed the scars in Li Shi's heart and made her sad.

"Mother, from now on my grandma will swear and beat others, so you should run away." Dong Bao took Li Shi's hand and rubbed it carefully. This is also the health regimen of traditional Chinese medicine. Massaging the acupuncture points on the palm can promote blood circulation. , very good for human body.

Although Mrs. Li was wronged and bitter, but her daughter was caring and sensible. The words just now were the words of a child without any intention, and she soon felt relieved. At night, she held Dong Bao in her arms and thought in a daze that she had made money this day. It was the happiest morning she had in these years, but she was humiliated by her mother-in-law at noon. It is well known in the whole village that the changes in the world are really impermanent. like that.

Early the next morning, Song Yu ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast hastily, and went out with an excuse.Although Mrs. Li was surprised that Song Yu didn't leave the table until she was full, but she was not talkative in the first place, and she didn't ask because of the differences between her uncle and sister-in-law.

It was not until the afternoon that Song Yu came back. With his hands behind his back and an angry look, he strode into the gate. When he saw Mrs. Li drawing water from the well, he couldn't help but glared, and then entered the main room.

Mrs. Li was stared at inexplicably, and after a while, she heard Mrs. Huang calling her in the main room, "Dongbao's mother, come inside."

Generally speaking, the main room is the territory of Mr. Song and Mrs. Huang. Unless it is for dinner and New Year's Eve, Mrs. Li will not come in, and Mrs. Huang has never specifically let Mrs. Li come in.

When Mrs. Li opened the curtain and entered the room, Mrs. Huang sat on the back chair with her lips pursed, and Song Yu sat on the low stool beside her.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat, she calmed down and asked, "Mother, what's the matter?"

Because of yesterday's incident, Huang's heart was still a little nervous, and she put on airs and was reluctant to talk to Li, so she turned her head and raised her chin to Song Yu, "Go ahead."

Song Yu glanced at Mrs. Li, and immediately said: "Sister-in-law, I went to Shan Qiang's house today, and I met the big steward of his family. The steward told me that his young master is not young, and Shan Qiang is giving it to him. His son is looking for a marriage, and he also said that with their family background, it is not difficult to marry an official lady, and Shan Liang is still young, so it will be good to find someone slowly."

When Song Yu said that Shan Qiang was proposing marriage to Shan Liang, Li Shi was already stupid, and stood there as if struck by lightning. She didn't hear what Song Yu said behind her, and only saw Song Yu's The mouth opens and closes, and the expression looks like an angry sigh, but it is actually gloating.

"How is this possible..." After regaining consciousness, Li's eyes turned black for a while, and his legs and feet were all weak. If he hadn't been holding on in his heart, he would have fallen to the ground.

Song Yu was upset, "Hey, sister-in-law, what do you mean? I ran to the town to inquire about the news before I was full for breakfast. It's fine if you don't thank me. What do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Li was also in a hurry, her heart was overwhelmed. She didn't take Song Yu's words to heart at all, and looked at Mrs. Huang and said anxiously: "Mother, how is this possible! Back then, Shan Qiang knelt at the door of our house and swore, you Dad and I heard it all! Why...why are you going to find a marriage for Shan Liang? Isn't this a remorse! Then, what about Dong Bao?" As she spoke, Li's tears welled up.

"What can I do if I hear it!" Huang said flatly. She was also very angry about the Shan family's repentance. If Bao married into the Shan family, he could also ask for some compensation. Her son is a man of fame, and no matter how rich the Shan family is, he is also a businessman, so he dare not disrespect her son.

But it's different now, the Shan family is rich, they are poor and white, and the family doesn't even have a man who can support the table. This is why after the death of the scholar's son, the Huang family became more determined to support the third son to take the imperial examination. Enjoying the benefits and glory that Song Xiucai brought her, and not being able to bear this kind of glory and benefits has nothing to do with her from now on.

"You have the ability, go ask Shan Qiang to hire your daughter!" Huang said with a snort.
