The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 21

Yingniang and Zhaodi prepared lunch together, but the parents-in-law hadn't come over at the second uncle's house.

Yingniang came to the well to fetch water to wash her hands, and saw Boming running back excitedly. She joked, "Why did you come back so quickly? Are you afraid that we won't wait for you for dinner?"

Bo Ming smiled, "I've signed up, and I can earn 270 Wen a month from now on."

Yingniang picked a bigger peach from the basket and handed it to Birming, "You just count how much money you earn before the work starts. I don't know if the work of land reclamation is tiring, whether you can persist or not." Two words miles.

Bo Ming bit the peach and ate it, and said straightly: "It's not tiring, it's much easier than picking stone bricks, but it's just a penny less a day. Many people who pick stone bricks don't want to do it anymore." , I wanted to come to Zhen Yuan’s family to do land reclamation work. As a result, the two families had a quarrel, the owner of the stone brick shop and housekeeper Yin had a fierce quarrel, but Zhen Yuan’s family was powerful, and the owner of the stone brick shop could not quarrel. I had to add two pennies to the wages every day, and pulled back a few people."

Seeing that Boming was talking happily, Yingniang listened happily beside her.

Hearing this, the carpenter working in the yard said enviously, "Boming, you can earn nine Wen a day, and your wife can earn seven Wen a day, so you and I will live a happy life in the future." Moisturizing. Alas, if my stinky mother-in-law didn't have an eight-month-old belly, I would also like her to work as a weaver at Zhen Yuan's family, this pregnancy is really not the right time."

Bo Ming was startled, "Ms. Ying, you...you also reported in the morning..."

"What's so strange, Zhaodi and I went to buy cloth in the morning, and we signed up by the way. If the two of us hadn't gone to the town, you wouldn't have been able to get the job."

While Yingniang was talking, she heard a young man's voice from the second uncle's yard next door, "Father, mother, I'm back, do you see what I bought?"

The person who was talking was Liang Zi, the eldest son of the second uncle. He shook a catty of pork in his hand when he entered the yard, thinking that his family would be happy to see him, but he didn't expect to see his mother, Jin Hua, wiping tears, and his father was livid. The face is talking to the uncle.

"What's the matter, mother, are you and father arguing again?" Liang Zi was used to seeing his parents quarreling, so he didn't think it was any different from usual.

Yang Sanniang winked at Jinhua, afraid that she would say something, Jinhua also knew how to protect her son's feelings, and said aggrievedly: "Take care of Lucui, she doesn't do any work well, I just scolded her." She said a few words, and she burst into tears. Who knew that your father ran home in the middle of the morning, saw me scolding Lu Cui, and said that I, a mother-in-law, abused her daughter-in-law, so I quarreled a few words."

Liang Zi felt funny when he heard this, "Mom, what's the matter with you and dad, you can quarrel over something serious. Lu Cui doesn't know how to work, so she scolds when she needs to, beats when she needs to, whatever is wrong. Dad, you don't need to protect Lu Cui, any daughter-in-law who can't do a good job will be beaten and scolded, no one will say that you are mean."

Seeing what Liang Zi said, they didn't know what to say.

At this time, Liang Zi shouted into the room again: "Lu Cui, come out and cook, what time is it, it's still cold!"

Lu Cui hurriedly ran out of the house with her head down, took the pork from Liang Zi and went to work in the kitchen.

Seeing that Liang Zi came back, the matter seemed to be suppressed, so he whispered to Xue Jiazhi: "Liang Zi is back, if you don't want to lose face, then stop arguing and shut up."

After Old Man Xue and Yang Sanniang returned to their yard, their faces were darkened, unable to recover from what happened just now.

"Mother, why are the second uncle and the second aunt arguing again?" Bo Ming asked casually, thinking that the quarrel should be very fierce this time, otherwise how could the parents' faces be so black?

Yang Sanniang sighed and said: "It's nothing, it's just that your second uncle didn't take good care of his work, and ran home in the middle of the morning, and happened to meet your second aunt scolding Lu Cui, and the two had a few words." How dare she She said that it was actually Jin Hua who came home from washing her clothes and ran into Xue Jiazhi in her son's room, arguing with Lu Cui.As for whether he did such a nasty thing, or whether it happened before, no one can say.

Bo Ming also felt very strange when he heard this. Did this idea cause trouble for his parents?However, he didn't care about it.

At this time, the carpenter who was working in the yard answered, "Your second uncle has a little money in recent years, and he has become more and more domineering. When he was young, he often led people to fight in groups. I heard that the dealer who came to sell seafood When they saw him, they all took a detour, fearing that he would steal the money. Landlord Ge saw that everyone was a little afraid of him, so he asked him to be a guard. Usually, whoever is lazy at work, he beats people fiercely, but it is said that he never beats people. Brother Zhongping, your family has benefited a lot from this."

Father Xue hurriedly said: "What good luck do you have? The three brothers Zhongping usually work hard and are never lazy. His mother, quickly set the dinner table and let everyone eat. Boming, go and marry you." Take out the small half pot of wine that is left in the day, and give it to your uncle, who came to pack our house, but it is more than 20 yuan cheaper."

When Bo Ming went into the house to get the wine, and when Yang Sanniang entered the kitchen, Yingniang and Zhaodi had already placed the dining table in the middle, and all the dishes were served.

They waited for Father Xue and Guizi Carpenter to have a drink before serving some dishes on the table, and then brought bowls to the yard to eat.

After eating, Father Xue went to the field.Yang Sanniang said that she was going to cut firewood and let Bo Ming rest at home for half a day. She couldn't help but be happy when she thought that her son would start earning money tomorrow.

Zhao Di came into her room and was eager to make clothes. She hadn't worn new clothes for several years, and her excitement was beyond words.

Birming and Yingniang were sitting in the yard eating wild peaches.Boming had been so idle for a long time, he looked at Yingniang, and suddenly had an idea, "Yingniang, let's go to the mountain to gather azaleas, the azaleas are in full bloom these days, I see many little girls on the mountain fold."

Bo Ming didn't have much interest in flowers, but he thought that Ying Niang would definitely like them. Don't all women like flowers very much?
"Really? Okay." Yingniang was very excited, how interesting it is to go to the mountain to pick flowers.

She ran to the door of Zhaodi's house and said hello, "Zhaodi, Boming and I went to collect azaleas on the mountain."

"Okay." Zhaodi raised her head in response, she looked enviously at the figures of Yingniang and Boming running out happily.Thinking that Zhong Ping didn't touch her last night, but fell asleep with her behind his back, she felt a little bitter.It would be great if Zhongping treated her so well.

Seeing that Boming was still carrying a hatchet, Yingniang asked curiously, "You don't need to chop wood, so what are you doing with a hatchet?"

"There are thorns all over the mountain, you have to take a knife to cut it, I'm afraid the thorns will pierce you."

Yingniang felt warm when she heard this, she giggled, and was about to speak when two people walked up to her, Liang Zi and Lu Cui.However, Yingniang didn't know them.

With a hoe on his shoulder, Liang Zi looked at Bo Ming and asked, "Brother, where are you taking sister-in-law?"

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Zhen Yuan's house to open up wasteland. My mother asked me to rest for half a day, and the two of us went to play in the mountains. Do you want to work at Zhen Yuan's house? Maybe you can register at this time."

Liang Zi shook his head and said, "I can't go, the work in my house is already very busy, and I can't spare time." Because Xue Jiazhi was working as a warden at Landlord Ge's house, and the two younger sisters under Liang Zi were married, and there was only one left. The seven-year-old Yaodi plays like crazy all day long, so he, Lucui, and his mother Jinhua are the only ones who work in the field.

Perhaps Lu Cui was afraid that they would see her crying red eyes, so she kept her head down, only occasionally raising her head to glance at Yingniang.

When Liang Zi walked past with Lv Cui, he joked to Boming: "You who have been a monk are different from everyone else, and you still want to take your sister-in-law to play on the mountain. Where to play is more interesting than on the mountain. I don't know what's in your head What are you thinking about, I’ve been chanting too much.”

Bo Ming just smiled and didn't answer. Usually everyone laughed at him for reading too many scriptures, so he didn't take it to heart at all.
