The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 59 Confrontation
"Baby, you have to be independent, learn to live by yourself, sharpen, exercise, and rely on yourself for everything." Chu Ying's mind echoed over and over again what her mother said before she was sent to the military academy.

I can only rely on myself. Ever since my father and other women abandoned my mother, I understand that no one can be relied on, except myself, only myself will never leave myself.

Chu Ying opened her eyes and looked at the dark room. She got used to the darkness for a while before she got up and put on her winter clothes and went outside. Also sensible early on.

Chu Ying saw a few chickens pecking at the door, and the hen was looking for something in the vegetable field. Chu Ying sprinkled some chestnut powder on the ground, because it was dark and she couldn't see clearly and didn't know how much she sprinkled. I can't fall down, I can't recover from a setback, at least these chicks still need to take care of themselves.

There is no fear of losing the house, at least she is still alive, this is already the greatest gift, Chu Ying lit the turpentine candle, walked slowly on the road, inspected her wheat field, looked at the small forest in the distance, in fact, she is still A person who is very rich cannot completely deny what he has just because he has lost some.

Just like losing her father and ignoring her mother's love when she was a child, in fact, she really has a lot, but she never realized it. Looking at the bright stars in the sky, Chu Ying wondered if her mother's rheumatism was serious. It was the root cause of her tiredness in her early years .

Chu Ying took the chicks and hens back to the chicken coop in the shed, put some chestnut powder and closed the door, Chu Ying didn't want them to wander into her trap, they were bought with money, and they hadn't been raised yet. It would be a pity if Da Xiadan was injured just like that.

Chu Ying took a few deep breaths, used the broken half clay pot to boil some water, soaked some chestnut powder, and waited until the person was slightly warmer before going into the house to rest, lying on the ground and touching the silver cover However, Chu Ying didn't know whether to ask Bai Yuhe directly.

This matter was not as simple as I thought. It wasn't until Chu Ying asked the people in Bai Yuhe's village what happened to their family recently that she realized that Bai Yuhe might have really done something unforgivable to her.

"A few days ago, a wealthy businessman from the neighboring village fell in love with the boss of the Bai family and said he was going to marry him to be the third concubine. Later, he didn't know what happened and there was no further information. If he really married, what's wrong with the popular and spicy ones?" good."

"That rich businessman just has some money. I heard that he is not very good to my aunt. The main reason is that the main family can't have a son so they marry the aunts one by one. The Bai Wang family of the Bai family is also cruel. Look at her days. Look happy, if you marry Bai Yuhe, she will really cover the sky with one hand."

"Bai Yuhe is also poor. Fortunately, she didn't marry. Otherwise, like the previous third aunt, she died of miscarriage within half a year. What a pity. Yuhe is not very big, so there is no need to rush to marry. Bar."

Chu Ying just sat quietly by the side and listened to the women talking, but she didn't quite understand that it should have nothing to do with her if Bai Yuhe was to be married and then she didn't. made.

When Chu Ying came back, she saw Bai Yuhe walking home with firewood on her back, so she ran up to stop her, and when she saw her looking at her, she turned around and walked away, knowing that there must be something tricky in the middle.

"Bai Yuhe, stop, what did you do at my house last time?"

"It's nothing, but I'm just warning you not to approach Brother Wang again. Go away, I have to go back to cook." Chu Ying followed behind Bai Yuhe and asked.

"Then what did you leave behind?"

"I knocked on the door to see if you were not here, so I left, what's wrong?" Seeing her quickening her pace, Chu Ying ran after her. "My house caught fire after you left, did you do it?"

"Did your house catch fire as soon as I left? Didn't it start in the middle of the night? Don't frame me." Only the Wang family and I knew about the fire in our house, and I had told Wang Naiyuan not to tell anyone. Remember your own situation and tell yourself.

"How do you know that the fire started in the middle of the night?" Chu Ying took Bai Yuhe's hand and stared at her firmly.

"Yes, I let it go, how? Do you have any evidence? Who will believe you when you say it? And you are a child, and you are more than people. You only set fire to the house accidentally. Even if you say that I did it People believe it. The fire was not caused by me leaving, and I don’t know who went there in the middle of the night, but I fell asleep at home and didn’t go out.”

Chu Ying thought that Bai Yuhe would argue, but she admitted it so readily, "Then why did you do this?"

Seeing that Bai Yuhe was at a loss for words, Chu Ying asked her step by step, "Jealousy, jealousy of you, who told you to be with Brother Wang all the time? , Even if you don’t get burned to death, it’s your fate.” Bai Yuhe never looked into Chu Ying’s eyes but kept evasive, and continued walking home after speaking.

"Is it just because of jealousy? Then you don't need to let me die, right? How can you, a village woman, be so vicious?"

"I, what's wrong with me being vicious? I should burn you to death, so that Brother Wang belongs to me alone." Chu Ying looked at Bai Yuhe's weak words, as if she didn't believe what she said.

Without saying anything, Chu Ying followed Bai Yuhe all the way home, "Don't follow me anymore, do you want to come to my house to set fire in the middle of the night? My rhubarb is not a vegetarian."

Sure enough, before reaching the door, the big yellow dog started barking, and stopped barking after Bai Yuhe yelled a few times. "Damn it, are you planting a tree and waiting for the tree to grow? Why don't you just chop firewood and make flowers or something? Yo, who is this little brother?" Chu Ying saw a beautiful face The woman came out with chopsticks in hand.

Bai Yuhe whispered in Chu Ying's ear: "Even if you tell my dad, my dad won't believe it, so don't waste your time thinking about it."

"I'm passing by, helping Sister Bai carry the firewood. Let's go now."

"Then go slowly, come to eat at home when you have time." Chu Ying just heard her yell at Bai Yuhe viciously, and now she looks at her and immediately puts on a smiling face. It's really not a good idea.

Sure enough, after Chu Ying walked out, the woman yelled again, "You can ask someone to help you with so much firewood? The lady is really too spoiled. Hurry up, make a fire and cook, I'm choking to death, you Brother is hungry, didn’t you hear me? Hurry up.”

Chu Ying could feel the vicious face of the woman when she heard the voice at the door. Although Bai Yuhe said that just now, Chu Ying didn't really believe that she did it. As for wanting to kill herself, there must be some reason why she did it out of helplessness.

"Ma'am, didn't the girl from the Bai family say she was going to marry that? When will you get married?"

"It's been a long time ago. Her stepmother took money from others? She returned it later, and I don't know how to do it. She took 5 taels of silver. She really sold her daughter."

"Yeah, of course I don't feel bad if it's not my daughter. What else has Bai Wang done besides giving birth to a son? The whole house is taken care of by Bai girls, chopping firewood, cooking, carrying water, and doing laundry."

"Who says no? It's a blessing for such a girl to marry into anyone's family. The stepmother still scolds every day without beating her. I really don't know what she thinks." Chu Ying walked back slowly after hearing this.
