Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 23

But with such an accident, I am afraid that old man Zhang will have no face to leave the house again.But they still don't know that old man Zhang is not only ashamed to go out now, even in the yard, he can see those people pointing at him with disdain and even spitting.

Where had he suffered before?Even if he had torn face with that catastrophe Zhang Mandun last time, he was just dragged to the ancestral hall to sign a divorce letter, at most he was laughed at by outsiders.But this time the family was expelled, which was the first case in Taoshuwan in decades, and it was a shame.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Erbao who was recuperating on the kang and became very angry.He touched the broom and was about to pump it up, but every time he was blocked by Mrs. Liu. At first, the old man Zhang was able to swallow that breath.But it's been a long time, and Liu swears and howls in his ears every day, how can he still have patience?No, just now he was spurned in front of his face, and when he came back, he picked up the broom and slammed it on the kang.

When Mrs. Liu saw that her son was about to be beaten, she immediately felt that she was in a bad mood, so she rushed over and scratched old man Zhang with all her heart.Old man Zhang might as well be beaten and scolded by Liu Shi like this. At that time, the whole person directly hit the bench on the ground, and then hit the corner of the Eight Immortals table behind with a crackling sound.

Originally, the old man Zhang just wanted to vent his anger and scare Zhang Erbao to make him feel at ease for a while, but he didn't want that person Liu to go crazy and fight with him directly, and even uttered all kinds of bad words, which made his mind go straight.

Especially when he bumped into the corner of the table and his head was bleeding, is that okay?He directly pressed the person under the body and twitched his mouth again and again.After all the flying and dancing, Liu's eyes stared at gold stars after being slapped, and she was about to make a fuss just like that.In the end, the old man Zhang felt unlucky, and shouted at Liu Shi: "You prodigal bitch, if it weren't for you, the old Zhang family would have become what it is now? Let alone this shameful son, even the boss can't tolerate others Bullying his old man like this."

Mrs. Liu was beaten all the time, so she didn't have any strength at the moment, but when she heard old man Zhang swearing at her head and face, she immediately became angry.It's her own fault for feelings. Why didn't she see his face when she climbed on the kang!
"You still have the face to tell me, who begged and secretly climbed on my mother's kang, why now that my mother is old and can't serve you comfortably, so she changed her face? Let me tell you, what do you really think of yourself? Ah, Erbao is imitating his father, besides, Mrs. Zhao is an old hen who doesn’t lay eggs, so she can blame Erbao for finding a woman by occupying the latrine without shitting? Not to mention being a widow, as long as she can give birth to a son, she will be a singer I can recognize it." Liu touched her face, and shouted angrily, "Don't think I don't know, you are hoping that the evil star will make you come out, and make your spring and autumn dream come true. The evil star will not kill you Even if you are good, don’t forget how his mother died back then.”

Old man Zhang didn't expect that this woman who couldn't do anything would dare to talk about everything, and she was about to talk about old things. How dare she let her yell, so she tied her up with her belt, and even took a shoe into her mouth.In this way, it is finally clean.

Originally, Mrs. Zhao stayed because she had no place to go, and she wanted to let Zhang Erbao change his life and live a better life, but he didn't want to spend time cooking, so he heard her mother-in-law talking about herself.The mother-in-law didn't even think about why she didn't have a child, and why she hurt her body. Thinking of this, this honest and hard-working woman finally gave birth to a trace of resentment
But after all, she still didn't rush into the house to ask for an explanation, but suppressed the grievance in her heart and went back to work on the stove.What can she do?The eldest aunt and her in-laws are of one mind and can't speak for herself at all.And Zhang Erbao is unreliable, but even if he is unreliable, he is still her man.She knew that someone outside said that she was worthless, but what could be done if she was promising and strong?After all, after being married for so long, how can we say that we will reconcile and leave!
While the old man Zhang was arguing with each other every day, Zhang Mandun had recovered from his injury and started to reclaim wasteland in the back mountain.Thinking that he had nothing to do on weekdays, and his shoulders no longer hurt, so Lin Baozhu followed Aunt Tian and a few kind women to dig wild vegetables every day.

This season is the time when the crops are not harvested. Generally, the peasants basically take advantage of the slack to go to work. If they can stand the hard work, they will find a piece of wasteland to reclaim it day and night.However, compared to doing work, there are not many people reclaiming wasteland. For one thing, almost all the places that can be reclaimed in the front mountain have been reclaimed.And further inwards from the back of the mountain, ordinary peasants would not dare to go easily.Second, opening up wasteland is not something that can be done just by talking, especially on the hillside. From digging the ground to pick out all the big and small stones in it, you have to carry water to send it up.And because Taoshuwan's geology is not considered fertile, soil dung and fur dung have to be carried to the central land.So even if it is hard work to open a piece of land in Brazil, it will be difficult to see results in three or two years.

Compared with the men trying to make money, the women who are free will try to save money in a different way. Not long ago, some people went to dig wild vegetables with their companions in twos and threes.

At this moment, Lin Baozhu had just sent away Zhang Mantun who was going to open the land, when he heard someone calling outside, "Baozhu, have you eaten yet?"

Ever since she had a quarrel with the old man Zhang and then had a heart-to-heart talk, Aunt Tian has always called her by her name, compared to others calling her Mantun's wife.This also made Lin Baozhu get closer to Aunt Tian a lot.

"Hey, ma'am, I just said I'm going to visit your place. Didn't I just fertilize the land in the yard yesterday, and I was thinking of asking you to ask for some rapeseeds to plant." Lin Baozhu smiled. Hehe welcomed the person into the yard and said.

Aunt Tian smiled and looked at the bedding and clothes on the clothesline in the yard, feeling more at ease about Lin Baozhu and Zhang Mandun.Sure enough, only if there is a woman in the family can there be a family look, at least the courtyard and the house are popular.

"Our family has a lot of rapeseeds, all of which are kept by our own family. It just so happened that I asked you two days ago, and the mother-in-law Lu in the village just hatched a brood of chickens and ducklings, because they are from the same village. The price is authentic. Six pullets and eight ducklings cost a total of 28 yuan, which is only a penny more expensive than buying eggs." Aunt Tian smiled and said, "It's too late, you go and catch the little ones. The chicken and the duckling just happened to get another bag of vegetable seeds from the aunt."

"It's really not expensive. Thank you, Madam, for your help." Not to mention anything else, upon hearing the price, Lin Baozhu had a clue in his mind, and he was afraid that people didn't ask for a high price because of Madam Tian's face.You must know that these days, an egg can be sold for a penny, and a hen with few cubs can be sold for three pennies.She felt that life was not saved, and she might spend less copper coins, so she was naturally happy in her heart.

Thinking of Mrs. Tian helping them a lot, Lin Baozhu couldn't help thanking them from the bottom of her heart. "Thanks to your help, otherwise, with Shang Mandun's temper, I'm afraid I can't do anything in the village with a black eye."

Hearing Lin Baozhu's sincere words, Aunt Tian was very satisfied, and of course it was very useful.At the very least, this child is well-informed and expressive, so it's not in vain for me to work for her.

"While the weather is good, I agreed with some women in the village to dig wild vegetables. I thought you should be fine, so I came to ask if you want to go." Walking away, he just patted the basket on his arm and asked.

Wild vegetables?Lin Baozhu was stunned for a moment, and then she came back to her senses, that's right, she is now in the farmyard.Isn't it the time to dig wild vegetables to eat in the farm spring?Ferns, wild leeks, shepherd's purse and Qingming vegetables, no matter whether they are made into pancakes, pancakes with wild vegetables, or dumplings are crispy and deep-fried, they are all delicious.

Thinking that there are no fresh fruits and vegetables at home now, since the last time I ate the stew, there is only one cabbage and half a radish left, if I don’t try to find some more, I will have to make do with radish and pickles for a while.

Thinking of the lack of vegetables and fruits, Lin Baozhu felt that life was difficult. Fortunately, she could still dig some wild vegetables, not to mention selling them for money, even if she was hungry.Immediately, he responded repeatedly, and naturally he wanted to go.

"Ma'am, wait a moment and I'll go get a basket and pick up a hoe." Since Lin Baozhu was doing the cleaning at home, she didn't have to search everywhere, and she found a tool that was convenient for her.

The so-called weeding hoe is actually a kind of guy who weeds and picks up seedlings. Because of its small size, everyone often uses it to dig wild vegetables.

After taking the things, Lin Baozhu found a piece of coarse cloth as a head scarf under the guidance of Aunt Tian, ​​so as to save herself from being embarrassed by the tree branches pulling her hair.After tidying up, the two went out together.

When we arrived at the fork in the front ravine, several aunts and daughters-in-law were already waiting. Seeing that Lin Baozhu followed, although he looked a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything unpleasant.In fact, after listening to the words of the elders in the village, most people's impression of Zhang Mandun has changed a little bit. Although they are still a bit taboo, it is better not to blatantly mutter that it is a murderer or a bandit.

Especially after Zhang Erbao's accident, everyone began to sympathize with Zhang Mandun, who hadn't caused much trouble in the village because of their disgust for the old man Zhang.

In fact, people always have a herd mentality, and they gather together to spread gossip.So when Mrs. Tian told Aunt Ma that if it was full of hoards, then the younger generation would be evil, so how could they let the land in the front mountain go to the nest in the back mountain that everyone is afraid of without repairing it?As far as his size and viciousness, who in the village can beat him, but even squeeze him out?
