peasant girl wedding

Chapter 6
The food was already cold, Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhi'er, and Tong Zhu'er walked into the kitchen, and Tong Zhaofu also followed the three sisters into the kitchen.

In the room, Tong Zhi stared at Fang Cui's slightly red and swollen face with heartache, unable to say a word for a long time.What can he say?If you talk about mother, mother will definitely scold him for being unfilial, marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting mother.

"Give me the medicine." Seeing the sadness and struggle in Tong Zhixin's eyes, Fang Cuiwei sighed in her heart, and handed the ointment bought by the children to Tong Zhixin.

When her parents married her to Tong Zhixin, it was because of his filial piety and love.After Chen got married, Fang Cuiwei's first few children were all daughters, Mrs. Tong was quite dissatisfied with her, and it was Tong Zhixin who protected her.She hoped for the stars and the moon, and finally gave birth to a boy for Tong Zhixin, thinking that Mrs. Tong should be pleasing to her eyes at this time, but she was wrong.

Thinking of the past, Fang Cuiwei sighed inwardly.

Putting the cool ointment on her face, Fang Cuiwei looked at Tong Zhixin's dark and handsome face, and said in her heart: Actually, she is doing well, ignoring Mrs. Tong's prejudice, her husband loves her, and her children are so filial to her at such a young age, The days to come will definitely get better and better, if you can't please Mrs. Tong no matter what, so be it.Stay with the family and be happy.

When Tong Zhi'er came in with the food, she burst out laughing seeing her father and mother's expressions, afraid that Fang Cui would be slightly embarrassed, so she said, "Father and mother, it's time to eat."

Tong Duo'er and Tong Zhu'er brought in the remaining meals and porcelain bowls, and Tong Zhaofu held chopsticks for six people in his hand.

After the family had eaten, they slept together on the big kang.

The next day, Fang Cuiwei got up before dawn, and she wanted to prepare Tong Zhixin's breakfast for going to the farmland later.When she prepared the breakfast, Tong Zhixin and the children got up, so the whole family ate breakfast together.Tong Zhixin ate very quickly, and went out with a hoe in a short while.

Fang Cuiwei packed up the dishes and went out. She also had to go to the main house to wash clothes and make breakfast for Mrs. Tong.

Mrs. Tong gave birth to five sons and two daughters. Both daughters were married. Except for Tong Zhiyi, the youngest of the five sons, Tong Zhiyi, who was old, and the third Tong Zhili, whose wife died, the eldest son, Tong Zhiming, and the second son, Tong Zhi De and the fourth son, Tong Zhixin, all married wives and had children, so except for the New Year and holidays, the whole family did not all eat in the same house, and each house had its own business.However, the daughters-in-law of each house still have to cook and wash for Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Tong.

Today happened to be Fang Cuiwei's turn.

Something unpleasant happened yesterday. When Fang Cuiwei entered the main house, Mrs. Tong naturally didn't give her a good look. Fang Cuiwei didn't mind about it. She called Mrs. Tong and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, which was done in a short while. Millet porridge and a drawer of steamed buns were brought into the main house.

Old man Tong looked at his fourth daughter-in-law apologetically, and went to work in the field after breakfast.

As soon as Old Man Tong left, Mrs. Tong began to reprimand Fang Cuiwei, "Being a wife is not here to enjoy the blessings. I worked hard to bring up the fourth child, and married him to you, so I still can't enjoy your blessings. If you If I don't do anything wrong, I can get angry and hit you?"

The old lady looked at Fang Cuiwei while she was talking, and was very happy to see her obedient and submissive face, and said a few more words and asked her to wash clothes in the yard.

It can be seen that what old man Tong said last night is not without effect, no, old lady Tong is honest.

The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law came to greet Mrs. Tong at this time, the second daughter-in-law went to the yard to wash clothes with Fang Cuiwei, but the eldest daughter-in-law Lin sat in the room without moving.

"Mother, the fourth daughter-in-law made you angry yesterday." Hearing Mrs. Lin talk about what happened yesterday, Mrs. Tong's original good mood sank again.

Lin went on to say: "Mother, I still have some good materials from the city in my house. When the new clothes are ready, my wife will bring them to you."

Hearing that there were new clothes to wear, Mrs. Tong saw her eldest daughter-in-law Lin's eyes became more eager, and said with a smile: "Well, you are caring, unlike the two of them, one is stupid as hell, and the other always makes me angry. "As she said, Mrs. Tong gouged out her second daughter-in-law Luo Shi and fourth daughter-in-law Fang Cuiwei who were washing clothes in the yard.

"Mother, isn't Fifth Uncle here?" Lin changed the subject.

Mrs. Lin asked Mrs. Tong's old son Tong Zhiyi, and Mrs. Tong thought of her sweetheart, so she said kindly, "I went to play in the yard after eating."

At this time, a child's yelling suddenly came from the chicken coop next to the house. After listening to it, Mrs. Lin said to Mrs. Tong uncertainly: "Mother, why does this voice sound so much like Uncle Wu's?" ?”

It was about five sons, Tong Zhiyi, Mrs. Tong couldn't sit still, and went to the chicken coop in a hurry.

Mrs. Lin got up, twisted her clothes, and followed Mrs. Tong to watch the fun.

She pleases the old lady Tong, and the heavy housework is handed over to the second daughter-in-law Luo Shi and the fourth daughter-in-law Fang Cuiwei. She has nothing to do, her favorite thing is to join in the fun.

In the chicken coop, Tong Zhiyi and Tong Zhaofu looked at each other angrily.Standing behind Tong Zhaofu, Tong Zhier looked at Tong Zhiyi angrily.She caught a glimpse of Mrs. Tong coming over, and quietly tugged Tong Zhaofu's hand, telling him to retreat behind her.

"Mother——" Seeing Mrs. Tong approaching, Tong Zhiyi ran over quickly.

Mrs. Tong patted Tong Zhiyi's head dearly, looked at Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhaofu behind her and said, "What's going on?"

"Mom, Ah Fu stole the eggs!" Tong Zhiyi said loudly.

What!Steal eggs!This is terrible, Lin's heart was startled, knowing that this was touching the scales of Mrs. Tong.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tong lost her temper when she heard her youngest son's words, pointing at Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhaofu and scolding: "You two little bastards, don't learn from the good ones to learn from the bad ones, you two are good at stealing eggs!" How did the fourth child and the fourth daughter-in-law teach you? You stole eggs at a young age, how can you do it when you grow up?"

Tong Zhi'er's face turned red and then turned pale. Before he could figure out anything, Mrs. Tong decided their crimes without distinction.

Tong Zhaofu, who was standing behind Tong Zhi'er, was so frightened by God's stern look that he cried.

Tong Zhi'er took a step forward and said, "Grandma, today's chickens haven't laid eggs at all, how can Ah Fu and I steal eggs!"

Mrs. Tong's tone faltered, as if she had eaten a fly.

"Mom, I'm not talking about today. A few days ago, I saw Ah Fu steal eggs with my own eyes." Tong Zhiyi shouted.

Tong Zhier's heart skipped a beat, Tong Zhaofu did the same, he thought he did a good job, how come Tong Zhiyi saw it?

The two of them didn't know that it was all Tong Zhiyi's nonsense.Tong Zhiyi has always had a grudge against Tong Zhaofu, because he is the old man of Mrs. Tong, and he is not good at being a baby, so he is not allowed to do anything or go out, saying that he is afraid of playing wild with other boys.Tong Zhiyi was bored at home, so he asked Tong Zhaofu to dig out a hornet's nest for him to play with. This kid didn't want it, and he didn't like it when he asked Tong Zhaofu to catch grasshoppers for him to play with... In this way, Tong Zhiyi didn't like Tong Zhaofu very much. He loves to make trouble for him when he has nothing to do, and later this has become his daily pleasure.

Today, that is the case.

Looking at Tong Zhaofu's red face, which was more red than a shrimp, Mrs. Tong knew that what her youngest son said was true. Immediately, she got so angry that she picked up a wooden plank on the ground and walked over aggressively, blocking the Tong Zhi'er, who was in front of Tong Zhaofu, was knocked away and pulled Tong Zhaofu's hand, cracking several boards.

"If you don't learn well, grandma will treat you well today." Mrs. Tong gave Tong Zhaofu a few more hands, and then told Lin who was standing on the side: "Boss wife, go to the field and get old man Tong away quickly." , The eldest, the second and the fourth are all called back."

Old man Tong said those cruel words to her because of Fang Cuiwei yesterday, and she will not let it go if she has such a good opportunity to take revenge today.

Lin responded, and ran out of the yard in a hurry.
