The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 69

In the past few days, the house has been very quiet, the kind of oppressive quiet, so quiet that everyone can't breathe.

Everyone has their own thoughts, but they don't know what to say, they just work hard.Seeing that one person had to set off for Yunzhou tomorrow morning, but at this moment they hadn't decided who would go, everyone was very depressed.

In the past few days, Yingniang and Bo Ming have also discussed this matter several times, but they have not come to a conclusion.During dinner, Ji Wang couldn't hold back anymore, and expressed his thoughts, "Brother and sister-in-law, I have already packed some clothes, and I will go to the south of the village to meet everyone tomorrow morning. Listen to what Zhou Lizheng said, the court We will give one hundred cash to each family that has a baby. When we arrive in Yunzhou, we will also be given seasonal clothes, which are available all year round, so we don’t need to bring winter clothes. Brother Liang Zi and I are companions , the two of us take care of each other in Yunzhou, so it won't be too hard."

Bo Ming raised his head and said, "You have been working in Ge Landlord's house before, and you have suffered a lot. In the past six months, because your second and third brothers and I have married, the three of us can only take turns to go to the house. Digging reservoirs and small rivers, but you only rested for a few days, and you hardly ever stopped working. You are the youngest in the family, but you have suffered so much. Go, can the three of us who are older brothers still be called elder brothers?"

Ji Wang hurriedly explained: "Brothers, why do you care about so much? The three of you are married, Xiaonuan is only half a year old, and the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law are both pregnant with children, so it is most suitable for me to go."

Bo Ming shook his head, "You are sixteen years old. If you can't go home after working in Yunzhou for two or three years, wouldn't you be delaying your marriage? You coughed last time and you haven't recovered from your cough yet. If you continue to suffer like this, you will be at the root of your illness." What can I do?"

Zhongping, who was at the side, had been eating with his head down just now, and now he also looked up, "Brother is right, you can't go to Jiwang. Building another palace is a big deal for the court, and it must not be sloppy at all. It must be very strict, not to mention hardships and hardships, I am afraid that I will be beaten and scolded. If you make you go ahead every time you work for the company, the three of us as brothers will definitely be stabbed in the back. I have already thought about it Well, it’s best for me to go.”

When Zhaodi heard Zhongping say that he was going, she froze for a moment, and the pastry in her hand almost fell on the table.It's not that she doesn't want Zhongping to go, but she thinks that she is already busy enough with Xiaonuan.If Zhongping had to leave home for a year or two, how would he survive these days?
But thinking that someone must go, even if Zhongping went, she didn't dare to say a word, but she would feel very uncomfortable.She just heard Zhongping say this, and she seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, she was really afraid of living a life of orphans and widows.

Thinking of Yinyue's big belly, Shuchang might not be able to leave.As for Ji Wang, just as the eldest brother and Zhong Ping said, he has indeed suffered too much over the years, and his cough has not recovered.As for the eldest brother, there is nothing wrong with him in this corvée, and the sister-in-law is pregnant, so naturally the eldest brother will not go.

Going around, it seems that only Zhongping is really suitable.Zhaodi thought about this, and thought that Zhongping should be all right, and swallowed a mouthful of pastry several times, but couldn't swallow it.Her hands were trembling a little too, but she had to support Zhongping's decision, wouldn't it just mean suffering for several years, and it wasn't as if she hadn't been surprised before.

Don't be afraid, I can hold on, she comforted herself like this, then calmed down and said: "It is true that only Zhongping is suitable, his body is the strongest among the four of you, so let's decide."

But Bo Ming replied: "The swelling in Xiaonuan's throat has only disappeared this month, and she has caught a fever again in the past few days. If Zhongping goes away, leaving Zhaodi and the child at home, who can rest assured?"

Listening to what they were talking about, Yingniang couldn't help sighing deeply in her heart.Given the situation at home, it is true that no one can leave the house. This is really a big problem. Thinking about it these days makes her scalp ache.

Bo Ming mentioned to her several times in the past few days, saying that he is the eldest brother, and he should be responsible for this kind of thing, but Yingniang didn't agree.One is that Birming's age is not included in the corvee service this time, and the other is that she really cannot do without him.She didn't want her father to be away when she gave birth to her child.She is not so strong, nor is she so dedicated to be the leader for her brothers.

Usually, when Boming went to Wuzhou, she was worried about it. If he went to Yunzhou, which was [-] miles away, he would be worthless once he went there.

At this time, Bo Ming put down the bowl and chopsticks, he couldn't eat this bowl of rice at all.He looked at Yingniang helplessly, "How about... I should go?"

In fact, he really didn't want to go, he was reluctant to part with Yingniang and the unborn child, he couldn't imagine what he would be like if he didn't see Yingniang for a long time.However, as the eldest brother, he must be responsible. He can't just ignore this matter and let the younger brothers rush to it, right?

Yingniang just ate her food without agreeing or objecting.

Zhongping, Zhaodi, and Jiwang all stared at Boming in a daze for a while, then Zhongping shook his head and said, "No, you are too old."

Bo Ming replied, "Age is a trivial matter, and Zhou Lizheng can help to change it." When he was speaking, he secretly glanced at Yingniang, afraid that she would be angry, but he really had no choice but to act.

Yingniang also put down her chopsticks, "Stop arguing, let's eat first. After the meal, call Shuchang over, and the four of you brothers will draw lots. Whoever catches the word 'go' will go, don't bother." Too much discussion."

Thinking this was the fairest way, everyone fell silent and ate with their heads buried.They are all thinking, maybe they can catch it by themselves.

After dinner, Ji Wang went to call Shuchang.The others were all sitting in the main room, and four small balls of paper had been pinched and placed on the table, ready to grab when Shuchang came.

Both Yingniang and Zhaodi were a little nervous, their little hearts were pounding.It's just that Yingniang is more calm, and everyone can't see her nervousness.

But Zhaodi was restless, her hands trembled slightly, and her legs and feet trembled.Seeing her like that, Zhongping couldn't help holding her hand.It was the first time for Zhao Di to be so delicately comforted by Zhong Ping, her eyes were so bright that she almost burst into tears.

Seeing her in this state, Yingniang sighed again.If Zhongping catches the word "go", she will probably cry a bit in her later life.

At this time Liang Zi came over, he was about to step into the yard, and at this time Yun'er happened to be carrying a bucket, ready to go to the opposite side of the yard to feed the pigs, the two bumped into each other face to face.

Yun'er said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Liang Zi supported her, and then went to stabilize the still shaking pig food bucket, "I ran into you in a hurry, I should have said sorry to you."

Yun'er didn't say anything, just picked up the bucket and went to the pigsty.Liang Zi turned to look at her, and went into the yard without saying anything.

When he saw that the Boming family was sitting at the table waiting for something solemnly, he knew that they hadn't decided who would go.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I'm here to trouble you again." He pulled up a chair and sat beside him.

Ying Niang guessed something, "You are here for the youngest, right?"

Liang Zi nodded and said: "Isn't that right, I'm really worried about the youngest when I leave. I let the youngest live with my father, but you also know that my father is often away, sometimes with..." He After a pause, "The youngest said that if my father beats and scolds him all the time, he will live alone in the wooden shed. He is only eight years old, and he is still a child. I am really worried about him when I go, and I hope my sister-in-law , The second sister-in-law usually helps me take care of him when she is free, and also take care of him, and don't cause any trouble."

Yingniang also felt that after Liang Zi left, it was really pitiful for the youngest to have no support, "Don't worry, if the youngest doesn't want to live with your father, let him live with Ji Wang. There are so many people in our family, Nothing will happen to him."

Liang Zi knew that Yingniang's words carried a lot of weight, and if she could say what she said, she would definitely do it.After saying a few words of thanks, he went back and started packing his luggage.

After waiting for a while, Shuchang was called by Ji Wang.

Seeing Shuchang's expression, Yingniang said, "Third brother, what's wrong with you, did you quarrel with Yinyue?"

Shuchang sat down, shook his head, and said, "No. Yinyue was crying just now, her brother was going to Yunzhou, and her mother was crying at home, saying that there was only one son in the family, and she had just had a granddaughter, and she hadn't had a grandson yet. If something happened to Yinyue's brother, she would not have to live as a mother. Yinyue went home to visit her mother, and saw that her father was beating her mother, it seemed that it was because someone was entrusted to impersonate her. In the end, I don’t know who told the story, but I went to report it to the chief official. Qian Xiucai took his anger out on Yinyue’s mother. Seeing her mother’s troubles like this, Yinyue cried as soon as she came back. None."

Yingniang frowned, "Since Yinyue has her own body, she cries a few times every once in a while, is this good for the child?"

Shuchang replied: "I also advised her not to cry, but Yinyue couldn't stop it at all. Once her brother left, her mother would really have a hard time in the future. She must be bullied by her father all day long." , blame her mother for not giving birth to more sons."

Yingniang sighed: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Qian Xiucai's family will have troubles in the future."

Yingniang didn't want Boming to draw lots, but Zhongping and Zhongping.Now she scanned around how many of their brothers, Shuchang?If he left, Yinyue would probably cry out.Zhongping?Zhaodi has always been an involuntary person, without Zhongping, she probably won't be able to raise her eyebrows again, although she won't object.Season boom?Look at his black and thin appearance. He has been doing heavy labor since he was 13 years old. He has not had a few days off in three years, and he has a cough.

If Bo Ming was not allowed to draw lots at all, she would be too selfish as a sister-in-law.

Yingniang looked at the four small paper balls and said quietly: "Catch it, when will you not catch it?"
