Yoshida Mii

Chapter 4

I don't know if Song Xiucai knows that he has closed his eyes for only a month, and the family he treated with all his heart and soul will sell his only child to pay off the family's foreign debts. How would it feel.

Dong Bao sighed, this family is really too poor, the entire Song family not including the one in the stomach of the second aunt, there are ten people in total, but only fifteen acres of land, and they support Song's third son, Song Bai, to study in the town, Before Song Yang was a scholar, the endowment rice and silver brought back could barely survive. Now that Song Xiucai is gone, the source of income has been cut off, and the life of the family may be even more difficult.

Old man Song and Mrs. Huang have three sons and one daughter. The eldest daughter, Song Chunmei, is one year older than Song Yang and has already married to another village. The eldest son, Song Yang, married Li. Second, Song Yu married his wife, Mr. Lu, and gave birth to Song Zhaodi, the third-generation eldest daughter of the Song family.

One year after Song Zhaodi was born, Li Shi and Lu Shi were pregnant successively. Huang also hoped that as the eldest son of a scholar, she would give birth to a third-generation eldest grandson. Unexpectedly, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In October, he stayed up all night in the twelfth lunar month and gave birth to a daughter. Although Song Yang was disappointed, this daughter was his first child after all, and his heart was full of strong fatherly love for her.

It was just dawn when Dong Bao was born, and Song Xiucai heard the cry of the child in the house, and rushed in to see it, but was slipped by the frost congealed on the bricks and dry grass on the ground. Because of this, the sour scholar Song Yang He gave his daughter a nice name Dong Ning, nicknamed Dong Bao.

Mrs. Huang was very angry, she was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and she was looking forward to a girl's movie, how could she not be angry?What's more, Dongbao is a tiger. From the perspective of the country people, women who belong to the tiger are inherently unlucky, and their lives are very fierce. After a night of starvation, the tiger is a hungry tiger, and this birthday horoscope is simply the worst of all evils.

These years, whenever Huang's heart is not going well, she will scold Dong Bao to vent her anger, "I shouldn't have softened my heart back then, leaving you, a tigress, to harm others at home!" These are the exact words Huang scolded Dong Bao.After Song Yang died, Huang added another sentence to Dong Bao's scolding, "You tigress who killed a thousand knives killed your own father. Are you satisfied! Who else do you want to kill?"

After giving birth to a daughter, Li's status in the family became more and more low. When Dong Bao listened to the villagers chatting about the family's family problems, she said that when the scholar lady was in confinement, her mother-in-law didn't even cook her a bowl of hot soup. Bao's diapers were washed by Li himself by the river, and the water was so cold in the twelfth lunar month, I am afraid that at that time Li had fallen to the root of his illness and never conceived a child again.

Mrs. Huang wanted to divorce Mrs. Li, who was unable to have children. How could such a promising eldest son not even have a concubine? Ermao was born one after another, and Lao Song's family had a son, so the Huang family did not divorce the Li family for the eldest son to marry another.

It's just that now that I've been chased back by a big family in the city, I haven't earned any money, and the Song family has to add another mouth to eat. I don't know what will be waiting for me, Dong Bao thought with a headache, and what Li's mouth said It is also a troublesome thing to say that Song Yang made an engagement with Dong Bao.

Song Yang had a boy named Shan Qiang who played with him since he was a child. Shan Qiang's parents died early, his family was poor, and he married his wife very late. Coincidentally, the son Shan Liang born to Shan Qiang's wife was only one day older than Dong Bao. The strong daughter-in-law did not make it through after giving birth, and died on the same day.Shan Liang lost his mother and had no milk when he was born. After Dong Bao was born, Song Yang took Shan Liang to his home and was fed by Mrs. Li.

Like Song Yang, Mrs. Li is also a kind person in his bones. He also feeds Shan Liang closely first when breastfeeding. When Shan Liang is full and Shan Qiang takes him away, he starts to feed his own daughter Dongbao.

Shan Qiang cried and kowtowed to Song Yang's family on his knees, patted his chest and burst into tears, saying that as long as Song Yang didn't dislike his family, Shan Liang, Shan Liang would be his little son-in-law.Song Yang quickly helped Shan Qiang up, who had grown up playing with him since he was a child, and knew everything about it, so the two families decided on the child's marriage.

Song Yang thought very simply, his daughter's birth date was not good, and she earned a bad reputation as a "Tigress". In the future, the next relative would have to be picked on and made things difficult for her. It would be a good thing to marry a child who knows the basics like Shan Liang.

After Shan Qiang's daughter-in-law died, Shan Qiang's family was destitute, and he had no money to remarry, so he simply put his young son in the future father-in-law's house, and went to the city to work for others to earn money. Married the daughter of the shopkeeper, Shan Qiang later took his son to the city.In the first few years, every year during the Chinese New Year, Shan Qiang would bring his son and presents to meet "Master Yue Zhang". In the end, they even lost their living in the restaurant, so they could only go home to work in agriculture, and the two families gradually lost contact.Until Song Yang’s funeral in the twelfth lunar month of last year, the Song family reported the funeral to the Shan family in the town. In the end, no one from the Shan family showed up. They only sent a clerk to send a pack of joss paper money and a hanging copper plate, saying that the owner was too busy. Can't go away.

The former Dong Bao would believe what his buddy said, but now Dong Bao is not a fool. No matter how busy Shan Qiang is, as long as he is willing to admit this marriage and remember the kindness that Song Xiucai helped him when he was desperate, he will spare time To attend the funeral of his in-laws, not to mention that he and Song Yang were young.Now it seems that people are living a good life, seeing that the Song family is poor and down and out, they are unwilling to admit this marriage.

People look down on her, and she doesn't look down on the behavior of the Shan family. Li's milk is fed to a dog.

Papa Song, Papa Song!Dong Bao couldn't help but sighed. Look at these people you treat with all your heart, whether it's the Song family or the Shan family, they're all white-eyed wolves!No one remembers your kindness to them, thanks to the fact that you have read about scholar, this way of looking at people really makes people worry about you.

However, Dong Bao also had to admit that it was such an unreliable marriage contract that the other party was unwilling to admit, that kept her from being sold out by her family.People in the village who have been to the town all said how big Shan Qiang's business is and what a nice house he lives in. People who listened to him were envious.Ten years ago, Shan Qiang was still a penniless poor boy, and ten years later he would become a big boss!
No matter how dissatisfied with Shan Qiang's behavior in Huang's heart, she was reluctant to give up this marriage. The marriage contract was kept there. Back then, Shan Qiang knelt at the door of Song's house and patted his chest. Liang lived in their Song family for free for a year, and it would be too shameful for him not to admit it.When Dongbao married into the Shan family, with the wealth of the Shan family, not to mention helping them pay off the funeral debts, a little leak from their fingers would be enough for the entire Song family to eat and drink.

Dong Bao was lying on the bed thinking about things, as long as Huang still had the thought of relying on food and drink in her heart, she would not be in the risk of being sold for the time being. If she was sold to someone else as a slave, her life and death depended on her master's thoughts. That handsome and domineering young master of the Wang family can give away the maid casually.

Although eating and drinking as a servant girl is better than being in the Song family, this feeling of life and death is really too bad. For modern Dongbao, it is better to live a hard life in the Song family than to be a slave in a rich family. .

At this meeting, there was a sound of footsteps in the originally quiet small courtyard, accompanied by a few out-of-key, stilted lines, "Sister Hu, my wife..."

Dong Bao opened his eyes on the bed, climbed to the window, and gently pushed the wooden window open a small crack. Just listening to the silly voice, he knew that her second uncle Song Yu had returned. Song Yu was tall and tall. His hair was tied in a bun on the top of his head in a mess, a pair of small eyes, an unshaven beard, a broken sheepskin jacket with his arms open, and he walked with the style of a bum.

Compared with his eldest brother Song Xiucai and his third younger brother Song Bai who was studying in school, Song Yu had never studied, and Dong Bao privately felt that he was not the material for studying, and he had two sons by himself, and he was lazy and arrogant. It's unreasonable.There wasn't much farm work in the field at this time, so he definitely didn't know where to go for a stroll.

Song Yu had already reached the door of the West Wing, and now Song Zhaodi in the West Wing also heard her father's voice, ran out quickly, glanced at Dong Bao's room opposite, and said in a flattering tone, like an informer : "Dad, Dad, Dong Bao is back!"

"What?" Song Yu's eyes were bigger than copper bells, "Didn't you just leave the day before yesterday? Why did you come back?" What about money?If she didn't earn her wages, how could she repay the debts that her damn father owed her for doing nothing?
Song Zhaodi hurriedly said: "I don't know either, and she won't tell me if I ask her. Daddy, you don't know that Dong Bao's dead girl chokes people with her mouth, and makes people die of anger, and even asked me to ask my grandma."

"Okay, okay." Song Yu waved his hands impatiently, "I see, I'll talk to your grandma later." Then he opened the curtain and entered the room.

Song Zhaodi quickly followed and said, "Father, we can't let her stay at our house for free!"

"I still need you to remind me about this. Where are you going to play..." The curtain was lowered, blocking Song Yu's voice.

When the voices in the west wing quieted down, Dong Bao got up from the bed and walked out. Mrs. Zhao should have finished washing her clothes at this meeting, and Mrs. Zhao is not easy to carry a big basin of clothes. She has to go to the river to pick up her mother. Home.

In the eyes of the second room of the Song family, because of the birth of two sons, this family has long been theirs. Now she is living for free, which is really ridiculous. These white-eyed wolves will not want Song Xiucai to do this for this family. How much did you contribute.It's a pity that she is no longer the timid and dull Song Dongbao. Since she came here, she has to live on behalf of this poor little girl and live a good life. People bully.
