Peasant woman

Chapter 37

The two of them ate and went to see the chick again. Xu Cao even saw a chick hatching with his own eyes, and was very excited.When Fugui came back with a roe deer in the evening, she hurriedly took Fugui to see the little chicken.

Fugui smiled and said: "Just these few chickens, tomorrow I will accompany you to the town to buy some more chickens, you are not clamoring for piglets, let's go to the town and buy two back tomorrow."

Xu Cao was naturally willing, and the family of three went to the town early the next morning to buy a little chicken and two piggies.Miao Miao was really interested in the little chicken and the little piggy, and walked around the little chicken and little piggy all the way.

Xu Cao also looked happily at the little chicken in the basket and the two little piglets in Fugui's arms.

Miao Miao looked at the two little piglets in her father's arms, and said happily, "Mother, what's the name of the little piglets that Daddy is holding? Can Miao Miao name them after them?"

"Okay, what name does Miao Miao want to name the two little piglets?"

Miao Miao looked at a little white pig and a little black pig in Fugui's arms thoughtfully, and after a while, pointed to the black little piglet and said, "This one is called Da Da." Piggy, "This is just Xiaoxiao."

Xu Cao smiled, "Okay, one is called Da Da, and the other is called Xiao Xiao."

After buying chickens and piglets, the two went to buy some grain and flour. Now Xu Cao still has 50 taels of silver with him, so he won't feel wronged. He bought some white rice and flour, and some brown rice and rough noodles. .Fortunately, I asked someone to borrow an ox cart today, Fu Gui sat in the front and drove the ox cart, Miao Miao and Xu Cao sat in the back cart, and the cart was full of things bought today.

Xu Cao was chatting and laughing with Miao Miao, and Fu Gui drove the bullock cart along the market towards the entrance of the town.

"Xiangxianggong!" The three of them were chatting and laughing happily, when suddenly there was a heart-piercing shout from the side of the road.

Xu Cao was startled, and looked to the side, but Fugui frowned when he heard the voice, and his face darkened.

Xu Cao looked blankly at the woman in tattered clothes and dirty body by the side of the market and rushed towards them, and jumped beside Fugui, and even wanted to grab Fugui's arm with her hands, but Fugui dodged him.

"Msg, what's going on?" Xu Cao was stunned, and Miao Miao was also staring blankly at the incident.

After she finished asking, she turned her head to look at the thin, messy and out-of-shape woman.The woman also turned to look at Xu Cao, with a look of astonishment on her face, and then she looked at Fugui who had jumped out of the carriage in disbelief, "Mr. Xiang, you actually married a wife?"

Xu Cao frowned, knowing what was going on in her heart.This woman is probably the woman who ran away after giving birth to Miao Miao. Looking at her current appearance, she is afraid that her life is unsatisfactory, so she has come back from begging.

Fugui looked at the woman and frowned, "Qi, stop messing around. I'm not your husband-in-law anymore. I only have one wife, and this is my daughter-in-law." As he spoke, he looked at Xu Cao and rushed to Xu Cao. Cao grinned, then turned to Qi and said, "Back then you disliked the poor and loved the rich, and left behind your newly born daughter. Your household registration has been canceled in Lizheng. You are no longer from Zhanghe Village, and you are no longer from the Yang family. Daughter-in-law. You can do it yourself."

"Ms. Xianggong." The Qi family was anxious, and said in a panic: "Msister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me once, okay, I really won't do it in the future." She said and looked at Miao Miao, a little stunned Stopped, "This is Miaomiao, right? Are you so old? Poor child, it's all mother's fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Miao Miao stared blankly at the woman in front of her, with puzzled eyes, frequently looked at Xu Cao.

Xu Cao opened her mouth, and Fu Gui said coldly, "Qi, you are enough, Miao Miao doesn't know you at all, you should go quickly."

"Why are you so cruel?" Qi cried out, tears streaming down her face, "Xiangfugui, I really know I was wrong, please give me another chance, I will treat my mother well when I go back, Get along well with the second sibling, and treat Miao Miao well, rich and honorable, please." She really couldn't help it, she was a woman with lofty eyes, but she was forced to marry this man and gave birth to After Miao Miao, she really couldn't live through such a hard life, so she left the man and ran away with the child.But I didn't expect that the days after that would be even more difficult. I wandered out of town for two years, was bullied by wicked people, suffered from cold and starvation, was deceived by a man about my feelings, and was beaten up by the man's wife.Later, she couldn't help it, she begged all the way back to this town, she hesitated for a long time, whether to go to Fugui, but she didn't expect to meet Fugui now.And the rich life seems to be going well.

Xu Cao didn't speak, she didn't need to speak here, she just had to wait for Fu Gui to take care of it.

Fugui frowned in disgust, "Qi, if you go back to Zhanghe Village, the saliva of the villagers will drown you. Also, I only have one wife, her name is Xu Cao. If you are messing around, I will definitely not You're welcome." After that, he got into the carriage, let Xu Cao and Miao Miao sit firmly, and drove forward.

Xu Cao looked back, only to see the thin woman staring at them blankly, her eyes full of despair.

Xu Cao turned her head and hugged Miao Miao in her arms, feeling a little uncomfortable. Although the Qi family had run away by herself, Lizheng canceled her household registration, and Fugui had divorced her, but seeing her messing around like this now, she I feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

Miao Miao leaned against Xu Cao's arms, frowning.After a long time, he asked softly, "Mother, who was that person just now?"

Xu Cao paused, not knowing how to answer Miao Miao.Before she could speak, Fu Gui in front of her turned her head and smiled at Miao Miao, "Miao Miao, that was an irrelevant person just now, Miao Miao doesn't need to make herself unhappy because of her."

Miao Miao nodded half-understanding, but she was very obedient and didn't ask any more questions.

The bullock cart drove all the way back to the village. Xu Cao didn't say much all the way. When he got out of the cart, Fugui moved the contents of the cart back to the kitchen, and sent the two little piglets to the pigsty behind. Xu Cao didn't dare to put it with the pheasant.Both of these two pheasants had their wings clipped by Xu Cao, and they were domesticated almost like domestic chickens.

The little piglets were almost two months old, and Xu Cao smiled softly when she saw them whimpering and turning around in the pigsty.

Back in the front yard, Fugui was unhooking the ox cart. Seeing Xu Cao, he smiled and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'll take the ox back. You wait at home, I'll be back soon."

"Well, hurry up and go."

Miao Miao was sleepy, Xu Cao took her back to the room to rest, Fu Gui came back fifteen minutes later, took Xu Cao back to the room, sat on the kang, looked at her, and said seriously: "Daughter-in-law, I know what's on your mind. I'm not happy, but I'm actually not in pain, I'm in a panic. I never thought that Miao Miao's mother would come back. Actually...actually," he said, his face suddenly turned red, and he was a little embarrassed to look at Xu Cao.

Xu Cao also blushed when he saw it, and asked in a low voice, "Actually, what?"

Fugui blushed and said: "Actually, I never liked her. At that time, I just wanted to marry a wife and live a good life. Let's not think about her, okay? Let's live our lives well in the future. Don't worry, she may be Don’t dare to go back to Zhanghe Village.”

Xu Cao felt a little uncomfortable, and asked sullenly, "Did you only want to marry a wife to live a good life when you married me?"

"No." Fugui was in a hurry, and didn't know how to explain it, so he scratched his head anxiously, "How could I not like you? I...I like you very much."

Xu Cao blushed, wringing her fingers not knowing what to say.The two were blushing and silent, when suddenly Shen's anxious voice came from outside, "Sister-in-law, brother, are you at home?"

Xu Cao hurriedly stood up, ran outside, and said with a smile, "Second brother and sister, why are you here?"

When Shen saw Xu Cao, she was anxious, looked back, and asked, "Big Brother? Where has Big Brother gone? Hey, what the hell is going on?"

"What's wrong with the second sibling?" Xu Cao was stunned, "What happened?"

Fugui also came out of the room, "Second brother and sister, what happened?"

"Let's talk to my parents first." Shen took Xu Cao and walked out, "Fugui, you go too, hurry up."

Only then did the two lock the courtyard door, and followed Mrs. Shen towards the Yang family.Xu Cao felt uneasy, "Second brother and sister, what happened? Don't scare me."

Shen's complexion was a little dark, she glared at Fugui behind her, and said angrily: "That man Qi is back."

Xu Cao was stunned, and Fugui was also stunned, and stammered, "What she...how did she come back?"

Mrs. Chen snorted, "It's not that I can't go on living outside. Thinking of your good times, she is too embarrassed to come back. Shameless. She also said that she is Miao Miao's mother, even if you have a wife now, Just marry her as a concubine, she doesn't care, she just wants to watch Miao Miao live a good life."

Xu Cao's complexion also turned ugly, feeling uncomfortable.

Fugui was silent, but his face was frighteningly dark.

It was hard for Shen to say anything, and the three of them came to Yang's house in silence.

The courtyard of Yang's family was very lively, everyone from the whole house gathered in the courtyard, Mrs. Qi was still wearing the tattered clothes she wore at noon, her face was sallow, and she was crying miserably. "Father, mother, I know I was wrong. Now I just need to guard Miao Miao and live a good life. I beg you to forgive me."

Father Yang's face was dark and ugly, but Mrs. Chen was a little gloating, but didn't dare to show it.

When the three of them entered the courtyard, Fugui's face was gloomy and cold. Everyone saw her like this for the first time, and they kept silent. Even Mrs. Chen couldn't help but tense up, as if she was a little afraid of Fugui.
