The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 57

When she saw that Yingniang was also wearing a silver bracelet on her wrist, she felt even more unbalanced. It was fine if the family had money and was not willing to spend it on the marriage. Who told her to do something embarrassing.But as the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, she has both the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, so why doesn't she have one?
According to her previous temperament, she would definitely ask her sister-in-law face to face.It's just that after this kind of thing happened, her temper has also been worn down a bit, and she didn't dare to ask directly.

When Shuchang came back from the field with Boming at noon, she asked Shuchang in a low voice in her room, "Why do my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have silver bracelets, but I don't? I married into your house, why does my sister-in-law have one?" No jewelry is prepared for me?"

Shuchang explained: "Elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law didn't have any jewelry when they got married. We got new tables, chairs and wardrobes, which can be regarded as the eldest brother and sister-in-law. They both bought silver bracelets on their birthdays. I didn't buy it when I got married."

After hearing this, Yinyue knew that she had misunderstood, so she couldn't talk about it anymore.Suddenly, she remembered again, "It happens to be my fifteenth birthday in a few days, you can tell my sister-in-law, she will definitely buy it for me after hearing it."

Shuchang wondered: "It's not good to deliberately say this."

Yinyue thinks so too, it seems that she deliberately said this with ulterior motives. "However, didn't I ask someone to match my birthday last time? My family should know my birthday. My sister-in-law should remember this in the next few days. We just need to wait."

Shuchang quickly said: "If sister-in-law forgets, you mustn't get angry."

"I'm not angry, I'll just remind you secretly." Yinyue said while fiddling with her hair, "Shuchang, go buy me a hairpin tomorrow, mine was accidentally broken just now. Just buy one like the one worn by my sister-in-law, it looks pretty."

Shuchang faltered and said: "The pocket money I have saved these few months has been used to buy medicine for you, and I... have no money on me."

"What? Let's get married, didn't the eldest brother and sister-in-law give you a sum of money? We are also considered a small family, how can we live without a penny?" Yinyue thought this was unbelievable. Could it be that you have to stretch out your hands to buy things worth a few pennies? Ask your elder brother and sister-in-law for money?

"Yinyue, don't worry, the second brother and the second sister-in-law didn't have any money before, but the sister-in-law gave them some money a few years ago. We just got married, the sister-in-law must not have thought of this, and she will give it to her sooner or later."

Yinyue held the broken hairpin in her hand, "But I can't let my hair loose like this, can I? Well, my father did the same, but he didn't even give me a penny."

Seeing Yinyue sighing, Shuchang didn't know what to do.Yinyue had no choice but to find a rope to tie her hair up, and then took the broken hairpin to manage to tie her hair up.

In the evening, the whole family gathered around the table to eat. This was the first time that Yinyue ate with everyone, because she was sick before and ate on the kang.

Seeing that the food at home was good, Zhaodi said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, my hairpin is broken and I want to buy a new one."

Yingniang and Boming raised their heads abruptly, only to realize that they hadn't been given a penny, so that Yinyue had to ask even to buy a hairpin.Yingniang hurriedly said: "I'll give you a hundred coins later, you can keep your pocket money."

Yinyue smiled and nodded, "Thank you sister-in-law."

While eating, she thought of her own birthday again, and then looked at the shining silver bracelets on the wrists of the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, her eyes were indeed very warm. "Sister-in-law, I will be fifteen years old in two days. In fact, I am not much younger than you and second sister-in-law."

Yingniang replied: "Yes, I am three months older than your second sister-in-law, and your second sister-in-law is one year and a few days older than you. There is really not much difference between the three of us."

At this time, both Yingniang and Zhaodi saw Yinyue staring at their silver bracelets, and actually understood what Yinyue meant.Yingniang was about to ask Shuchang to buy one for her when the time came, when Zhongping suddenly said with a cold face: "Just say what you want, don't beat around the bush."

Zhongping is such a straightforward person, he hates what others say.When Yinyue heard what Zhongping said, her face turned red immediately, and she also felt aggrieved, "Second brother, don't speak so harshly. It's fine for outsiders to treat me like this, but why do you treat me so badly as a member of your own family. "

She burst into tears as she said, "I'm sick these days. Except for my sister-in-law, none of you come to greet me, as if I'm not from this family. My hairpin is broken, can't I just buy one? I She is also the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, my birthday is coming up, you know my birthday but no one remembers it, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law both have silver bracelets, but I don’t have one, doesn’t that mean I’m treated like an outsider?”

Zhong Ping put the bowl on the table vigorously, "The family is worried about your affairs, and you still say sarcastic remarks. If you don't treat you as the Xue family's daughter-in-law, then which family are you eating now?"

Bo Ming had been silent just now, but at this moment he frowned and said sullenly, "That's enough, don't talk about it, a family is arguing over dinner, what does it look like?"

Yingniang then said: "Everyone, eat well, Yinyue, I will give you the money to buy silver bracelets in a while. I have been busy these few days and forgot, so don't take it to heart."

Tears were still hanging on Yinyue's face, "Sister-in-law, I really don't really want any silver bracelets, I just think...you don't seem to like me. Although I have a child before I am married, this is also Xue's family. My own flesh and blood, I have suffered so much, do you also look down on me because of this?"

Ying Niang comforted: "No, you are thinking too much. You have only been here for a short time, and everyone is not familiar with you yet."

At this time, Zhongping shouted again: "The whole family is fed up with being pointed at when they go out. Is it possible that the family still treats you as a bodhisattva?"

Bo Ming shouted: "Zhong Ping, don't talk any more!" Zhaodi also stepped on Zhong Ping's feet, not letting him continue.

At this time, Ji Wang also complained, "Sister-in-law, do you know that recently, Haozi's family behind our house asked us to tear down the cowshed, saying that our house's geomantic omen is not good, so let's just put our house in front of their house. The cowshed is also blocked, and the elder brother insisted on tearing it down. There is also Li Zi’s house in front, and we want our family to tear down the pigsty in front, saying that our family’s bad luck is serious. There is also the hut..."

Bo Ming stared at Ji Wang, "Eat when you eat, why are you talking so much?"

In fact, Shuchang knew all these things, but he didn't tell Yinyue because he was afraid that Yinyue would feel uncomfortable.

Yingniang and Boming have been having a lot of trouble recently because of these things, how can they remember to give money and buy some silver bracelets.

Shuchang felt ashamed, "I know that Yinyue and I have brought a lot of troubles to the family, I think Yinyue and I should move out, as long as we go out, the cowshed, pigsty, and hut will not be used." Demolished."

Yinyue looked at Shuchang in horror, moving out?Where can I move to?

Yingniang and Boming also occasionally thought of the word "separate family" in their minds these two days. Zhongping and the youngest couple never live together, and they will definitely quarrel frequently, and Yinyue's temper seems to be difficult to get along with everyone.

At this time, the two of them heard what Shuchang said, and they didn't object immediately.But thinking that Shuchang and Yinyue are also members of their own family after all, it seems unreasonable to let them go out to live alone, so they hesitate.

At this moment, only a few "crack! Crack!..." were heard in the yard, and everyone hurried to the yard to see what was going on, because the child's cradle was still placed under the wall of the yard, and Xiao Nuan was lying on the bed. sleeping in it. "Xiaonuan" is Zhongping's pet name for the child. Because there is a kang to sleep on, the child has had a warm winter, so he chose this name.

Seeing that cow dung was thrown into the yard, and some fell on the side of the cradle, Zhaodi hurriedly picked up the child, but luckily it didn't hit Xiaonuan.Bo Ming and Zhong Ping ran outside the yard to have a look, and saw that a lot of cow dung had been thrown on the courtyard wall, which was disgustingly dirty, but the person who threw it had disappeared, and it was unknown which bastard did the wicked thing.

Zhongping said with a cold face: "Our family can't live through this day!"

Shuchang made up his mind to move out this time, "Brother and sister-in-law, don't hesitate, Yinyue and I can't do without moving, please don't let anyone hurt Xiao Nuan."

Boming asked Yingniang in a low voice, and Yingniang nodded.Bo Ming said quickly, "Okay, we can't eat this meal anymore. Let's clean up the courtyard and the courtyard wall first, and then we all go to the main room to talk about the division of the family."

Boming thought, since Shuchang wanted to live outside, it would be better to separate the family, otherwise the family's money would be a mess, and if they were not clearly divided, there would be conflicts in the family again.

Yingniang thought the same in her heart, and naturally agreed with Bo Ming about the separation of the family.

Yinyue stood there in a daze, where else could she and Shuchang live?She couldn't bear to part with the warm kang head.She went back to her room silently, in a trance.She thought that after marrying Shuchang, she could happily live her own life without caring about other people's opinions, but now it seems that everything is terrible.

After tidying up, the whole family sat in the main room, and Yingniang took out all the money in the family.Bo Ming took a brush to write down something on the grass, and then said: "First divide the money, then divide the land and food, all divided into four. Because Ji Wang is not married yet, he wants to live with me and Yingniang, so he This share will be assigned to me and Yingniang first, and we will distribute it to him after he gets married."

When I gave the Qian family the gift money, I gave his family more than one tael of silver.In addition, the family has spent a lot recently, and now there are only four taels of silver and two thousand Wen.

Bo Ming first took out [-] Wen and gave it to Shu Chang, which was regarded as pocket money for them and money for buying silver bracelets, and the rest was just divided into four parts.

Each family received one or two pieces of silver and three hundred Wen. Although Ji Wang's share was divided into Yingniang and Bo Ming's names, they would also save it for Ji Wang and save it for his future marriage. .

Then, the more than ten acres of land and grain were divided evenly into four parts, even soybean seeds were divided, and several jars of pickles and oil and salt were also divided.There is also a saying about the pigs and cows at home, and the money will be divided after the pigs are sold.The cow must be shared by everyone. When there is a calf, the money from the sale will be divided again.

Originally, the four brothers were usually very harmonious, so no one would say anything bad about the separation.Seeing that everything was distributed evenly, Yinyue also had extra pocket money and money for buying silver bracelets, so naturally she couldn't pick anything out.

Now the whole family is worried about where Shuchang and Yinyue will live.Boming thought for a long time, and said, "You can either build a wooden shed or live in the two rooms of Grandma. I didn't want you to disturb Grandma, but now there is no other way."

Shuchang lowered his head and thought, "Let's go live with grandma. Yinyue has been very weak recently, and the weather is still very cold. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it if she lives in a wooden shed."

After hearing this, Yingniang thought it was the same reason, "Birming and I will go to Grandma's house to help tidy up, you go back to the house and tidy up your things."

When Yinyue followed Shuchang back to the house, she said with some fear: "That is the house where my grandmother lived before, and now she has passed away. I am afraid to live in such a house."

Shuchang put his arms around her shoulders and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. We can't live in a wooden shed, because we will be bullied even more, not to mention that when it's windy and rainy, we can't stay in the wooden shed. Let's move in After entering Grandma's house, let's go to the mountain to say goodbye to her, it's fine."

Yinyue was still a little scared, but she really didn't want to build a wooden shed to live in. "I... still can't bear to part with the warm kang head here."

"It's spring now, and it won't be long before the cold weather. By the end of the year, we'll also have a kang head, and a few hundred yuan will be enough. Let's pack up quickly and stay here for a while, maybe it will cause more trouble for the family. Come."

Yinyue tidied up with Shuchang, wiping tears while tidying up.Then she thought that she and Shuchang could live a life of only two of them, and she would not have to reach out to her sister-in-law for money in the future.She can live her life as she wants, no one can control her, and she feels at ease when she thinks about it, so she stopped crying and cleaned up quickly.

Yingniang and Boming cleaned up the house, Zhongping and Jiwang helped Shuchang carry the table, chairs and wardrobe.

The villagers were very happy to see that their family was taken apart, and they followed them all the way.Yinyue didn't dare to walk alone, but followed Shuchang.Even if she heard someone scold disgusting words, she pretended not to hear them.She got used to being scolded, and she became thick-skinned.

When she arrived at Grandma's house, Yinyue was really frightened by the dilapidated house in front of her. Luckily, Yingniang and Bo Ming cleaned it up a while ago, and it was at least clean.

Although it was a move, there was no firecrackers. It was not a glorious thing, and setting off firecrackers would only arouse the resentment of the villagers.They don't have much stuff either, and they'll be done moving in a while
Yinyue sat on the cold wooden bed laid out, looked nervously at the room, "Shuchang, let's go pay homage to grandma, I'm afraid."

Shuchang had no choice but to take her to his former home to serve a bowl of food, then took a stack of paper money and a few sticks of incense, and took Yinyue to the mountain.

Yingniang is sitting in the yard weaving, and Zhaodi is holding the child in her arms.The two didn't speak for a long time, they just sighed in unison.

Zhaodi saw Yingniang knitting a sweater quickly in her hands, thinking that she had to take care of the child, which delayed a lot of work.Now that the family has been separated, Yingniang told her just now that when the money is sold for the bouquets and knits, they will also be divided equally, which makes her quite sorry.Now that the family is divided, it must be divided according to how much they do.

"Sister-in-law, if the score is average, then you and elder brother will be at a disadvantage. If Yinyue finds out about this, she will definitely feel unbalanced. Although she got some silk and thread materials, she doesn't know how to make them. "

Yingniang looked up at Zhaodi who was holding Xiaonuan, smiled at her, and said to Zhaodi: "Now you want to take care of the child, if you divide it according to who does it, wouldn't you be able to get some money?" Although we are separated, we are still a family. You still have to raise children, and you can’t save a lot of money just by farming Zhongping. Zhongping has more days digging reservoirs than Birming, and Birming also said that starting tomorrow , he will take turns with Zhongping, and your family also has to farm. As for Yinyue, I will go to her house when I have time these few days and teach her how to make hair flowers and knitting clothes. She dare not go out now. If you don’t do some work at home, don’t get sick.”

"Yeah, as long as she learns it, she can earn some money anyway. Although we don't have to tear down the cowsheds, pigpens and huts now, I still feel a little uneasy. I don't know if they will move there. Throw dirty things." Zhao Di was really worried about the two of them.

Yingniang sighed, "It's definitely unavoidable, it will be fine after a while. No one has the energy to deal with them every day, and everything will be over after a while. It's just that they may have to deal with it all their lives. Carrying this bad name unless they move somewhere where no one knows them."

Zhaodi felt her thighs were wet, and looked down, "Oh, Xiao Nuan peed again."

After Zhaodi put on clean pants for the child, she fetched water by the well to wash it.Xiaonuan was crying in the rocking bed and refused to lie down, so Yingniang put down her needlework and hugged her.

While washing, Zhaodi said: "Sister-in-law, after having Xiaonuan at home, it has delayed a lot of work."

"You really are, is it more important to work and earn money, or our Xiaonuan?" Yingniang hugged Xiaonuan and kissed, "Oh, little daughter, you have gained a lot of weight in just over a month. Don't look Your mother is thin, but the milk is quite good, and it has raised you fat for nothing."

Zhaodi laughed and said, "Isn't it because you cooked delicious food for me, either fish or bone soup, can milk be bad?"

Yingniang looked at Xiaonuan carefully, and then thought of how Boming liked children. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to have a child, and felt that with a child, she and Boming would have a complete family.Usually seeing Zhongping and Zhaodi coaxing the children together, she was still vaguely envious.

Thinking about Birming's body, I don't know when she will be able to conceive.She thought silently in her heart, wait slowly, one day they will have their own children.
