reborn child bride

Chapter 2

He still drank vegetable porridge at night, so Shen Ji ran to the hut a few times a day supporting his weak body.On the last trip, I met Mrs. Wei helping a tall and thin boy out of the house.

"This is my son, Wei Ying. From now on, you will call him Young Master."

Ga, you are not the wife, but your son is the young master.

"Ying'er, this is the little girl my mother bought to take care of you. She is called Jijie. But she is still very weak now, let her rest for a few days first."

Shen Ji looked up and saw that the young man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was dressed in blue cloth, making him look a little weak.Looking up, there is a small bulge in the throat, and the face is very pale.However, he looks really good, with handsome eyebrows and fine eyes.It's a bit of a sickly handsome man, and he is staring at himself right now.

"When do you want to see, just block our mother and son at the door of the hut like this. Don't get out of the way!" Aunt Wei scolded.

"Oh." Shen Ji responded and stepped aside.

That sickly pretty boy Wei Ying glanced at her again, then walked back without saying a word while leaning on the wall.

"Come on, rely on mother."

"No need, the child can walk by himself."

Well, the sound is nice too.However, she didn't want to be a child bride, she definitely didn't want to.She doesn't know how to be a girl to serve others.Aunt Wei will teach, she will not just throw her son to herself.Even if it is to pay for meals and accommodation, there are two or two taels of silver that she will lose because of her escape.Such a family is so poor that they don't know why they still want to buy a girl.Certainly not blindly doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.Perhaps, Aunt Wei was going out to work, so she asked herself to take care of her son at home.

Aunt Wei really wants to go out to work. The Wei family is a female household, and to open a household registration, you need to have more than three acres of land under your name.The Wei family has more than ten acres of Susukida, they rented out ten acres and planted three acres by themselves.A year's grain, fruits and vegetables are produced from the ground.Aunt Wei is not good at farming, but she is dexterous, and she took over the embroidery work and came back to do it.Shen Ji knew all this after living for a few days.

It was already her fourth day at Wei's house, and she finally felt better.She went out to have a look at the small tile-roofed house of the Wei family.There are several hens and a dozen chicks in the dam.Shen Ji saw from the window that Mrs. Wei could pick up three to five eggs every day.One was for Wei Ying to eat, and the rest was saved to sell when going to the market.

In the past three days, all she drank was vegetable porridge, accompanied by pickles, and some Chinese cabbage, radishes, etc. grown in Mrs. Wei's field, her mouth was almost drooling.

"I reckon you can come out to work. It seems that you are in good health, and you haven't spent any more money on medicine. Come on, feed the chicken first, and then go to butcher the pigweed."

Shen Ji took over the dustpan, and according to what he saw in the past few days, he "clucked" the chicken while sprinkling corn kernels.The hens walked up to her body and pecked away the corn kernels.Shen Ji stared at the chicken, his eyes almost glowed, he really wanted to eat chicken, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.No, I haven't seen You Xing for a long time.Aunt Wei's stir-fry dishes are all vegetarian, which are not tasty at all.

When Aunt Wei goes out with peace of mind, maybe she can go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to steal.I have been half hungry and half full these days, and I have to run to the toilet constantly.

Wei Ying was ill, and Aunt Wei naturally didn't care about other things, so she stayed at home to do embroidery work, and then taught Shen Ji to feed chickens, pigs, and fire, in short, all odd jobs.

Oh, yes, there is also boiled medicine.Now what is boiling in the medicine pot is Wei Ying's medicine.Shen Ji took a broken fan and sat on a stool with missing legs.With one leg missing, of course she couldn't sit still, so she found a stone of about the same height to cushion her head.One fan after another is on fire.Seeing Mrs. Wei looking this way, she became more careful.

According to the doctor's instructions, three bowls of water and slow fire boiled the medicine into a bowl of medicine, and Shen Ji poured it into the blue and white porcelain bowl next to him with a rag on the handle.The temperature for boiling the medicine is also very particular. Because Shen Ji couldn't control it well at the beginning, he was beaten several times with the palm of his hand, and he was quite resentful towards Wei Ying in his heart.

Carefully bring the medicine into Young Master Wei's room, and place it on the table with landscape paintings.Shen Ji reckoned that the family's valuable belongings were all in this house. Although it didn't look grand, it was more decent than the chaifang and Aunt Wei's house where she had slept.Aunt Wei can be called a mother who is wholeheartedly devoted to her son.What's more, what makes Shen Ji feel weird is that Aunt Wei's attitude towards her son has a hint of humility in the intimacy.I really don't understand, is it always like this in ancient times, this is the so-called obedience of husband to death?

Wei Ying was lying on the bed with two folded pillows behind her, her face was as white as porcelain.Shen Ji thought to himself, he really looks like the beautiful and indifferent boy in the comics.Because her real age is seven or eight years older than Wei Ying, she has always had the mentality of admiring the beautiful little brother.

"Master, drink the medicine!"

Wei Ying glanced at her with a respectful face, but there was a hint of disdain for this title in her bright eyes.He also knew that it was a bit exaggerating for people to call him "Master" in such a family.However, isn't she the girl his mother bought back, and she doesn't look like she just hates the poor and loves the rich. I heard that she was born in poverty, and she had to kneel down on the street and sell herself to bury her father.How could there be such a meaning in the eyes?Sometimes he looked at her coldly when she was not paying attention. Not only did she not have the slightest sense of being a girl, but she straightened her back when she thought no one was paying attention, and there was a look in her eyes as if she was in charge of her own affairs.Such a person will not be a girl at ease.

After Wei Ying finished drinking the medicine, Shen Ji brought him water to rinse his mouth, and then took a candy and fed him into his mouth.She ate a small one secretly, which tasted a bit like modern sesame candy.

Alas, this beautiful sick man never gets better, so Mrs. Wei won't go out.Now she would rather not care about the harvest in the field, but stay at home and guard her son doing needlework.How is she going to escape like this?Isn't she working so hard and serving the sick and beautiful boy just to earn a performance in front of Aunt Wei, so that she can go out with peace of mind and have a chance to escape.But now it seems that as long as the sick beauty doesn't get better, she will be useless.

When it was time to eat, Shen Ji brought the food to Wei Ying again.Aunt Wei was catching up on an embroidery picture, and after looking at it for a few days, she let her go to serve Wei Ying, and only came in occasionally to have a look.It seems that this embroidery work is the biggest source of livelihood for the Wei family.After all, it is Susukita who is renting out, and the production is low, so it is estimated that the rent is not high.Otherwise, Aunt Wei would not have drank porridge herself.Today there is an egg drop soup, of course, it is for Wei Ying.She was not willing to take a bite herself, let alone Shen Ji.

Shen Ji, who only ate porridge and side dishes for many days, looked at the yellow and orange eggs and couldn't help swallowing.This is because Wei Ying seems to be tired of eating boiled eggs and poached eggs.So, today I changed it to egg drop soup.

Hearing the sound, Wei Ying looked up at Shen Ji who was setting out the dishes.Of course he knew that what he ate was Xiaozao. It was estimated that this girl hadn't eaten such a good dish for a long time.
