Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 143 Why is it beating around the bush?
Xia Zhi is a reckless person, laughing and even daring to move towards Mrs. Chen, she doesn't know if it's because she has eaten something from Mrs. Chen before or something.

Da Han and Xiao Han followed Xia Zhi, but at this time they also broke free from Xu's embrace, and went to play, but fortunately there were a few boys laughing and laughing here, otherwise the room was so quiet and there was no human voice, it would be uncomfortable.

Xiaoman, however, remained vigilant, and grabbed Xia Zhi over, "Fourth Aunt, what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Chen said angrily to her, "What's the matter, if you have nothing to do, I won't come here to hang out."

Mrs. Xu Qin was still angry at Mrs. Chen for giving Xiaohan the taro, so she opened her mouth and said, "It's fine to drop by, but the taro is a good thing, we can't eat it without that life."

Chen quickly changed the subject, "Sister-in-law three, where's brother three?"

Before Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, Xiao Man said, "It's really strange, fourth aunt, what are you doing with my father? It's the same if you say no to my mother about anything."

Mrs. Chen said hurriedly, "Xiao Man, you don't understand this time, this is a big deal, related to... ahem."

After saying half a sentence, Chen stopped, intending to let everyone ask her anxiously, so she opened up the chatterbox smoothly, but no one asked, and everyone had a calm expression.Mrs. Chen was a little helpless, so she had to direct and act on her own and said, "Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, people say that the elder sister-in-law is like a mother. , I was also anxious to have a son and a half daughter for a while, second sister-in-law, you have been here, so it's not that you don't know how anxious I am. "

This matter is Mrs. Xu's weakness. Besides, Mrs. Chen was really pitiful when she said this, so she took over, "No matter how anxious you are, you can't ignore the child. Fortunately, Xiaohan is fine. If you swallow something What should I do? The taro is the most choking thing."

When Mrs. Chen saw Mrs. Xu answered her own words, she happily agreed, "I was also confused for a while, and there will be no next time."

After speaking, Mrs. Chen actively went back to bring some snacks from her natal family for everyone to eat. She didn't say anything else from the beginning to the end. After all, they are all one family, even though they have been separated.Within half a day, Mrs. Chen became acquainted with the person on the other side again.

Two days later, another afternoon, Mrs. Chen came over alone this time. It happened that Mrs. Xu Qin went to the town, and Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wen were left at home with a few children.

Mrs. Chen talked about what was there and what was not, and then some of them started to call poor with tears in their eyes, "It's really hard to live, Dehe doesn't have the ability of two elder brothers, we live as a married couple after we have separated. Those who know think how much money we have made, and we don’t drag our families along, who knows the difficulty of our life.”

Xu smiled and shook his head, "It's not difficult at all. Whoever came here didn't come here like this. They were even poorer before."

Mrs. Chen followed Mrs. Xu's words again, "No, I know this too, and I am very satisfied, thinking that when the third sister-in-law and her family came back, they couldn't even vacate a room at home. Now Isn't it a good life, so Dehe is cruel, relying on the two of us to work hard for a few years, and when we have a baby, we can support ourselves."

They all thought she was talking casually, but Wang naturally gave some words of comfort.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen seemed to be about to vomit quickly, "But I didn't make any effort to plan food in the field, I was barely full, I couldn't save any spare money, and I'm not afraid to tell you, the last time I bought salt I can't even get the money out of my sister-in-law, and she told me no less than five or six times to get a small bowl from my sister-in-law. If there is a way, why bother to be so angry. You also know the temper of the sister-in-law, otherwise the two Sister-in-law didn't need to be so sad at the beginning, but now it's my turn. She is good. The whole family helped raise her children, and the days will be easy in the future. Fortunately, we separated. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be that they are still raising other people’s children? I also heard from my mother that the family of the third sister-in-law was kicked out, and most of them are sisters-in-law..."

Mrs. Wang was very displeased when she heard this. Although she really didn’t have a place to stay at the beginning, she felt aggrieved when she stayed at home and thought about it. It’s just that Mrs. Chen felt uncomfortable when she said it, “Don’t say that , It’s so unpleasant to spread it, maybe people think that our family is dissatisfied, life is hard to avoid, we spread these gossips by ourselves, it’s the most boring, and I don’t know how long it’s been since we talked about it, so I dug it up and said He didn’t even say anything.”

Chen's face was a little dry for a moment, and then he laughed loudly, "I'm just staying at home and talking, whoever says it's not right when I go out."

Mrs. Xu reminded her, "How come you don't even have money to buy salt? Isn't Dehe just doing work for others?"

Mrs. Chen seemed to be waiting for Mrs. Xu to say this, and took the opportunity to wipe the corners of her eyes as soon as she heard it, "I won't hide it from you at this time, I have to go back to the river to build a house for a family in the next village, and support myself at my age." Light, put a beam on someone's house, who knows that it flashed to the waist, this..."

Xiao Man was bowing her head to embroider. She was silent at first, but suddenly said, "Fourth Aunt, why didn't it happen a long time ago? You just said it last time."

Xiao He also giggled and said, "I remember that too." Wen Shi slapped her right after she finished speaking, "You're the only one who talks too much."

Chen sighed faintly, "Isn't it just so long? I wanted to endure it at first, but I didn't expect it to get worse now. When I fell asleep at night, I was sweating profusely. I don’t have any money, so I can only suffer on my own, and I don’t know what to do.”

The big furniture is silent.

Mrs. Xu is the most disrespectful person, "If you need help, just say it, anyway, we are a family, don't go around like this."

Chen smiled through tears, "My sister-in-law is really a refreshing person. When I got married, my mother said, don't look at the family. It's not too good. It's rare to have this family and Lele alone. Otherwise, I will come here You just let me live in that tile house, I feel embarrassed, this..."

Gu Yu's petrification at that moment, if she didn't have a brick-roofed house and she refused to go through the door, causing such a commotion, at this time, instead, she said that the big guy let her go, and what's more, she said bad things about her aunt just now. The ability to distort the facts is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people to say that others give way.Ever since, the little flame of pity that had just risen in her was instantly extinguished by Chen's words.

Mrs. Chen seemed to feel that the time was almost here, and only then did she express her real intention, "It's not a big deal at first, the two of us are willing to endure hardships, but it's just that the crops will be harvested immediately, and then we will have to plant rice seedlings and so on. , I am afraid that Dehe's waist bones can't do anything, and I can't do anything by myself."

Since Mrs. Xu had already spoken just now, she did not intend to ignore it at this time, "Since this is the case, it is also easy. When the time comes, we will carry a threshing machine over here. Yours is just a paddy field of three or four mu. It’s not difficult at first, but there is a way after all.”

Mrs. Chen sobbed and thanked, "Second sister-in-law is really thoughtful. This is not the most difficult thing. After the crops are harvested, we have to plow the field. We did it ourselves. This time I am alone. When will I be able to plow the fields?" After digging so much, if the seeds are not planted in time, the late rice will not be harvested, and it will become a problem to eat next year."

Mrs. Xu sighed, feeling rather embarrassed, "It wasn't a big deal at first, but at that time I was busy renting out the threshing machine, and I couldn't take care of the family's fields, so I wish I could hire two more people. , and I am afraid that people will say that our family is showing off, and those who are still poor in this family will hire long-term workers."

Mrs. Chen immediately agreed with this, "Who says it's not, I also know your difficulties, and it's really difficult to speak this way."

Mrs. Xu seemed to have made up her mind, "Dehe is a hardworking person, and he must be raised well. Don't suffer from any diseases at a young age. In this way, when the time comes to harvest and plow the fields, we will help you hire a few It’s a labor-intensive job, and we were supposed to help out, but we really can’t spare the time, and we pay fifteen cents a day for the labor, and I’m thinking about hiring two laborers, and it’s about the same for five or six days.”

Mrs. Xu said so, and Mrs. Wang naturally agreed, "Yes, her fourth aunt, life is always lived by people, don't worry, we will pay half of the labor cost at that time. Well, there is no one to gossip when you invite someone, her second aunt's words are reasonable."

Mrs. Chen waved her hands vigorously, "This is something that can't be forced. If it spreads out and asks my brothers to help hire people to work, we don't know where to put our faces. We will take another ten thousand steps and say that if it arrives At the end of the rice season, Dehe's body is still not good enough, so I have to bother you, and I will never dare to say it at that time, and this time I will secretly hide it from him."

Neither this nor that, the big guy didn't know what to do for a while.

Gu Yu just didn't open her mouth, just now she saw that Chen's refusal didn't seem to be fake, and she didn't know what she was going to do, but she was not in a hurry, anyway, Chen would always say it, so she just watched.

Seeing this, Xiao Man said, "Why don't we wait until my father and uncle come back, anyway, I can't think of any way now, and the harvest is still a while away, so there is no need to be so anxious."

Mrs. Chen patted her thigh, "I have an idea." After saying this, she paused again, looking embarrassed.

Everyone told her to speak quickly.

When Mrs. Chen got the words, she said, "It's not that you can't move the river. You can still do the work at home, but it's hard for you to dig the fields and do hard work. You can't help much. Life is not the same. If I live by myself, I will open my mouth cheekily this time, and the second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law of your threshers have also made a lot of money, or you can lend us some, let us buy a cow, and then you will not be needed Help, we can handle it ourselves, and we will return it to you when we feel better in the future."
