farmer's little girl

Chapter 2 Rebirth
Lu Jiaoyue felt that her body was suspended in the air, and the feeling of weightlessness made her extremely flustered. She kicked hard and woke up.

After waking up, I still couldn't react.

Isn't she dead?

Knowing that she was dead, Lu Jiaoyue made up her mind not to live, so when Mother Du pushed her, she 'planted' her head against the wall.

It hurts, but it's not worth the hopeless death.

She thought that the Du family must be in a hurry now, the mother-in-law of the son-in-law of the servant of the Ministry of Rites actually killed her daughter-in-law, just to let her son climb up the high branch of the servant of the Ministry of Rites.As early as when Lu Jiaoyue was kicked out of Du's house, she knew that there were many people on the sidelines watching the fun, so she said those words on purpose after her heart died, and she also deliberately asked Du's mother to 'kill' her.

Presumably with this incident, Du Lian's wishful thinking will come to naught, and those neighbors must spread the word for the Du family.

Lu Jiaoyue didn't want to delve into whether it was worthwhile to take revenge on Du Lian with her own life. It was an extremely pleasant thing for her before she died.

These thoughts just flashed by Lu Jiaoyue after waking up, and then she discovered something unusual.Before she could figure out her situation, she heard two unfamiliar but familiar voices.

Strangeness is because she hasn't heard it for too long, and familiarity is because she has been dreaming about it for many years. These two voices will always sound in her dreams.

"My son's father, I always feel that the Du family's affairs can't be done..."

"...The Du family's request is indeed a little too high, but should we take another look? After all, that Du family boy..."

The pitch of the female voice was raised, as if a little annoyed: "...I have never seen any marriage that asked the woman for a dowry, and specified two acres of fertile land. Go to ten miles and eight towns to see if there is such a thing." If it wasn't for seeing that Widow Du is the sister of your good sister-in-law, I would have slapped her in the face. And sister-in-law, how could she have the nerve to spread such words among others? What is her plan? I thought she was a good person, but now I know that she is also a bad person..."

The male voice persuaded with a wry smile: "Okay, I know that this incident made you feel uncomfortable, but you can't put all the blame on sister-in-law. Then the Du family is relatives of sister-in-law's natal family, and you know the situation of Du's family. It's probably because there is no way to do it, and it's probably embarrassing for my sister-in-law to be caught in it... Our family's situation is better than that of the Du family's, and Jiaoyue is our only daughter. For the sake of our daughter's life in the future, it's okay to help her a lot..."

"It's just that you're good-natured! After all, you still like that kid from the Du family?"

"What do you mean I'm fancy? There are quite a few families in the nearby villages who have their eyes on the Du family boy. Although the Du family is poor, the Du family boy is promising. Now he is a child. If it wasn't for last year Widow Du suddenly fell ill, so she must be a scholar by now. That kid has a good personality and good looks, and he is worthy of our Jiaoyue." The male voice suddenly smiled and joked: "Could it be that you didn't like it? If you didn't like it, why should you be so angry?"

"Why am I angry, don't you know?"

"I know, I know, isn't this matter right now? Our daughter is sleeping inside, so don't wake her up..."

In the outer room separated by a wall, the two voices gradually became quieter, but Lu Jiaoyue, who was sitting on the kang in the inner room, was already in tears.

At this moment, she had already recognized who the two people were speaking, one was her father and the other was her mother.

Lu Jiaoyue thought she was dreaming, ever since her parents passed away, she always dreamed that her father and mother were still alive, and she was not married yet, living a pure and happy life under the love of her parents and brothers. day.After waking up with tears streaming down my face, I realized that it was all a dream.

Could it be that she is dreaming again?

But why is this dream so real?

Lu Jiaoyue involuntarily looked around——

A small room, simple but clean and tidy.Next to the window is the kang. There are two large kang cabinets at the head and the end of the kang. Under the kang, there is a dressing table near the wall on the south side. There are two large wooden boxes next to the dressing table. A large embroidery frame.

This is the house where she lived in her natal family when she was not married.

As if struck by lightning, Lu Jiaoyue looked around again, and then put her eyes on the kang cabinet at the end of the kang.

The overall color of the kang cabinet is light brown, with brass bare nails inlaid with hinged leaves and copper tassel handles, which looks thick and delicate, and the door is also carved with auspicious clouds and flowing water patterns, which is very exquisite.This kind of kang cabinet can be placed in ordinary rich families, let alone ordinary farmers like Lu's.

The Lu family is an ordinary family in Daxi Village, with three generations living under the same roof.

The old man Lu and his wife Cui have three sons and two daughters. Among them, the eldest daughter is married, and the three sons are all married. Only one old daughter is still in the boudoir.

There are three households in the Lu family. Lu Mingchuan, the pillar of the main house, and his wife, Hu Shi, have two sons and a daughter under their knees.The eldest son, Lu Guangren, who is nineteen years old, is married to Xiao Hu, the niece of Hu's natal family. They have a daughter named Niu Niu.The second son Lu Guangli is 14 years old this year, and the eldest daughter Lu Jiaomei.Lu Jiaomei is the first child of Dafang. She is already married now, and her husband's family name is Meng.

The second room, that is, the room where Lu Jiaoyue lives, Lu's father, Lu Minghai, and Lu's mother, Mei, have three sons and a daughter.The eldest son, Lu Guangyi, is seventeen this year, the second son, Lu Guangzhi, is thirteen, and the youngest son, Lu Guangzhong, nicknamed Goro, is only seven years old this year.As for the only daughter, Lu Jiaoyue is fifteen this year.

Compared with the other two houses, the third house has a smaller population. Lu Jiaoyue's third uncle, Lu Mingshan, and his wife, Qiao Shi, have two daughters and one son.The eldest daughter, Lu Jiaoxing, is fourteen this year, the youngest daughter, Lu Jiao'e, is eleven this year, and the only male in the third room is Lu Guangxin, who is only five years old this year.

The Lu family has a large population, and the three families live together, and they have not yet separated.Most of the country people live in this way. The whole family squeezes together. Although there are some trivial things in the daily life, the life is quite harmonious.

Lu Jiaoyue is the only daughter of the second bedroom, and she was favored by the second bedroom since she was a child. Although the family couldn't provide her with a good life, they did their best on weekdays.

Lu's father, Lu Minghai, went to the mountains to make this pair of kang cabinets for his daughter, and then he specially hired a carpenter to make them according to the furniture of the wealthy family in the county. Also makes.After Lu Jiaoyue got married, the pair of kang cabinets accompanied her into the Du family as a dowry, but it was a pity that not long after she married into the Du family, the two kang cabinets were changed by my sister-in-law Du Juaner to leave.

At that time Lu Jiaoyue was the new daughter-in-law, she was thin-skinned and wanted to please her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, although she didn't want to, she still gave her things away.At that time, she was thinking of a family, and it was understandable for her sister-in-law to be greedy for good things at a young age, but she had since opened the door to her miserable fate.Afterwards, the furniture, clothes, fabrics, and jewelry in her dowry were changed one after another by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Only then did Lu Jiaoyue realize that some things cannot be given up, and once they are given up, there is no end to them.

Unfortunately, by then it was too late.

Lu Jiaoyue remembered that the pair of kang cabinets followed Du Juan'er to marry the Chen family, after that Du Juan'er was divorced and went home, and she never saw her again.She didn't expect to appear in front of her again, could it be that——

Lu Jiaoyue's eyes trembled, she was not sure, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch herself.

She thought it must be another dream that would not hurt, but unexpectedly, the pain was so painful that she couldn't help but let out a low cry.

There was a commotion in the outer room, followed by two hurried footsteps walking in.

"Yue'er, are you awake?"

A familiar face appeared in front of Lu Jiaoyue's eyes, it was her mother.

It was a young and healthy woman with black hair and tight skin, not the one who worried about her every day, with a sad face, who cried heartbroken when her eldest brother died, and whose hair turned gray overnight.

Lu Jiaoyue stared blankly at Mei Shi, tears streaming down her face again in a trance.

When Mei saw her daughter like this, she panicked, and hurriedly leaned over and took her hand to look up and down, asking what was wrong repeatedly.

Lu Jiaoyue cried so much that she couldn't even speak, her eyes were fixed on Mei Shi, and then she looked at Lu Minghai who came in behind Mei Shi, looking greedily.

Dad, it's Dad.It is the father who has not yet been crushed by the burden of life, his tall body has not yet bent, and his face has not yet stained with sorrow.

"What's the matter with you, Yue'er? But you're sleepy?"

Seeing her daughter not answering, and crying like this again, Mei anxiously stroked her daughter's body up and down, and then touched her forehead. Although Lu Minghai did not speak, his face was full of anxiety.

Seeing this, Lu Jiaoyue suppressed the choking in her throat, wiped away the tears on her face, and choked up, "Mother, my daughter is fine, she just had a nightmare."

Mei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Mother thought what was wrong with you, how old you are, and you will cry in fear when you have a nightmare."

Having said that, he stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Jiaoyue into his arms, running his palm along her back.

Lu Jiaoyue buried her face in her mother's arms, greedily inhaled the familiar breath, and couldn't help but want to cry again.Mrs. Mei pulled her up from her arms, stroked her hair, and said with a teasing smile: "Okay, okay, stop acting like a baby with your mother, and be careful that your father laughs at you."

Then he turned around and ordered the man to make a bowl of egg water for his daughter, saying that his daughter had a nightmare and cried loudly to replenish her vitality.

After hearing what his wife said, Lu Minghai hurried out.
