The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 90

Seeing that Yingniang and Jinling regarded them as beggars, the four people outside immediately looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't dare to come in.

Yingniang took out two big pastries from the kitchen, and Jinling took out two pieces of corn cakes.Usually, if there are beggars, Yingniang will at most give a few pastries or corn cakes, and those beggars are grateful, because most of them will be rejected at the door of other houses.

As soon as they took the pastry and corn cakes, they began to eat, looking very hungry.But they stood at the door to eat and had no intention of leaving.

Yingniang couldn't chase them away, so she turned around and went back to the house to have breakfast, and asked Jin Ling to go back to the house to eat.

Jin Ling only spread out four pieces of corn tortillas. She and Ji Wang only ate one piece, and they were still not full, but the remaining two pieces were already begging outside, so she had to drink another bowl of porridge.

"Ji Wang, are you full?" Jinling herself was a little bit hungry, she felt that Ji Wang is a big man, so she should be even less full, "Would you like to share some more pancakes?"

"No need." Ji Wang put down his chopsticks, "I'm full."

Suddenly, he came to his senses, "Could it be that you haven't eaten enough?" He raised his head and sighed, "It's over, I can't afford to support my man-in-law, and the man-in-law will make the family poor."

Jin Ling kicked him violently under the table, "Don't call me a man again!"

Ji Wang rubbed his legs, ran to their bedroom, took out two jujube cakes from the plate on the table, went to the kitchen excitedly and passed them to Jin Ling, and said with a smile: "Eat more, don't worry , I can afford you."

Jin Ling took the jujube cake with some emotion, and took a sweet bite.Unexpectedly, Ji Wang went on to say, "I just thought I had an extra sow in my family."

Jin Ling choked, "You deserve a beating!" She stood up and chased Ji Wang to beat him.

Ji Wang ran out of the house and saw Xiao Nuan hobbled in the yard, still babbling, so he asked, "Xiao Nuan, have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Nuan smiled until her eyes narrowed into a small crescent moon, "Eat...eat..."

Zhaodi and Zhongping had just had breakfast, and now Zi Zhaodi was folding the quilts on the kang and tidying up the house, while Zhongping was washing the pots and bowls.

Jin Ling came over and hugged Xiao Nuan in her arms. Seeing that the four people outside had almost eaten, she said, "Xiao Nuan, let's get them a ladle of water, shall we?"

She knew that those people might not be full yet, but that was the only way to go. Just bring some water to quench their thirst.

Jin Ling hugged Xiaonuan and brought them a ladle of water.At this moment, Zhao Di came out from the house and shouted: "Xiao Nuan, you are..."

Before Zhaodi could finish her words, she suddenly froze and her eyes widened.Looking at the four people at the door, she suddenly ran over, "Father... Mother..., you..."

Seeing them in tattered clothes, Zhaodi burst into tears, "Why did you get into this state?"

Zhaodi's mother, Liu Shi, saw her daughter and burst into tears on the spot, "My daughter, my parents are really desperate, so they want to come to you. Even if your father and I starve to death, that's the way it is, anyway. I have lived for decades, but your elder brother is fourteen this year, and your younger brother is only twelve, and they are both immature, look at their pitiful appearance..."

Mrs. Liu was crying so hard that Zhao Di rushed over and wept with her mother.Zhaodi's father sighed, and the two younger brothers had red eyes, as if they were about to cry, but they were still drinking water with a ladle in their hands.

The embarrassing ones were Jinling standing beside and Yingniang who had just left the kitchen, because they had just regarded Zhaodi's natal family as beggars.

Zhaodi and her mother were almost crying, so they led her into the yard, followed by her father and younger brothers.

Mrs. Liu looked at Xue's family with happy words posted everywhere, wiped away her tears and said, "Your family just had a happy event? We won't disturb you when we come, right?"

Zhaodi sobbed, "It's okay, my fourth brother got married yesterday."

Yingniang and Jinling were busy making tea, and they just scooped up a scoop of cold water for them to drink, thinking about it, they felt really rude.

Zhongping rushed out early when he heard the sound. He called his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and hurried back to the house to cook another meal.Zhongping is a person who doesn't like to talk too much and only does practical things. He knows that his father-in-law's family must not have had enough to eat just now. At this time, there is nothing more solid than food.

Bo Ming came out with Nian'er in his arms. After the whole family had greeted Zhaodi's family, he sat down and listened to Liu's story about her family's experience.

It was not easy for Jin Ling to sit down and listen to this, so she brought a plate of melon seeds and a few pieces of jujube cakes on the table, and went to work.If it wasn't for the wedding event yesterday, she wouldn't have these things in her room.Although the life of the Xue family is better, these foods are not always prepared.

Jin Ling cleaned up the dishes first, and then went to the house to get her and Ji Wang's clothes out for washing.

Yingniang and Boming are the eldest brothers and sisters-in-law of the family, so it is not easy to leave at this time, they have to sit down and listen, otherwise they will appear very rude.It has been two years since Zhaodi came to Xue's house, except for Zhongping's visit to Qishan, her natal family has never looked for Xue's family in the future, if they were not forced to help, they probably would not have come.

Mrs. Liu said intermittently, "Your family harvested soybeans the year before last, and Zhongping sent several catties of soybean seeds to our family. We started planting soybean seeds last year. We thought that the river would be dug and there would be no more droughts. But the digging of the river stopped halfway. Although Qi Shan did not work hard last year, the harvest was also poor. In addition to paying taxes, the rest of the grain harvested was only enough for half a year. Although Zhong Ping also explained in detail how Planting soybeans, but we still failed to plant them well, and finally only collected 150 catties. Even so, Zhaodi and her father and I were very happy, because we earned more than 900 yuan from selling soybeans. Our family has never sold I have seen so much money, and the family was willing to buy some clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year, and sent a few catties of soybean seeds and fifty Wen to each of Zhaodi's two sisters."

Hearing this, Yingniang felt that the life of Zhaodi's mother's family was gradually getting better, and there was no drought this year, as long as she farmed well at home, it would be fine. Could it be that something bad happened at home?Otherwise, there is no reason for this family to be dressed in such shabby clothes, like beggars.

Zhaodi became a little anxious when she heard that, "Then what's wrong with this, can't you just get by? There's not enough food to eat, can't you use money to buy it? This year, a catty of grain is only three pennies. Even if some money is spent, the rest is enough to buy two hundred catties."

"Girl, man is not as good as God! Good things are just around the corner, and disasters are just around the corner!" Liu cried sadly, "Just ten days ago, there was a crooked wind, and many small trees were blown crooked. It fell on the side of the road. Unexpectedly, the big tree planted behind our house was also blown down by the wind, and it fell on Zhier's house evenly, crushing two houses of his house Not to mention, the house collapsed and Zhi'er's leg was limped. Don't you think this is a crime, when did such a disaster happen to our family, and when did it hurt someone!"

Zhao Di was frightened, crushing someone's house is a frightening thing, and even crushing Zhi'er's leg, isn't that ruining a person's life?

Yingniang and Boming both looked serious when they heard this, this is indeed a catastrophe.

Zhao Di was so frightened that her face was a little pale, and she asked: "The big tree in our house has grown for nearly ten years, and the foundation is very strong, how can it fall down?"

Mrs. Liu beat her chest and said, "It's all my mother's fault. In order to save trouble, I usually don't like to tie the cows in the pen, but tie them under the big tree. Later, when your uncles used the cow queen, They also tied the cattle there. But your uncle’s family is not diligent in grazing cattle. Whenever the cattle are hungry, they will lead them to herd. The tree was pulled loose by the strength of the cattle over time. In those few days I My eyelids were still flustered, and I saw that the tree seemed crooked. The night before the accident, I asked your father to cut down the tree, but your father said that this tree would be kept for your two younger brothers to make household items in the future. It will rot after a long time. I plan to wait until dawn to fill in more soil and let the tree continue to grow. Unexpectedly, it was so late for one night, and the next morning..."

Zhaodi's father also regretted it unceasingly, at this moment he just kept beating his head.

Yingniang and Bo Ming also understood that it might be because of this that they had to pay back the house and the money in the end, even the slightly better clothes.

Mrs. Liu said again: "The family has lost all their money, and they even took a few acres of land. Zhi'er's parents still think it's not enough, and they swear and cry all day long. Our family is in the wrong, and we have nothing to say. We also know that Zhi'er's leg is If it can't be cured, if you can't get married, your life will be ruined. We only stayed at your elder sister's house for two days, and she was scolded several times by your brother-in-law. Their family is really poor, and they drink water all day long. I was afraid that after I left, your brother-in-law would beat your eldest sister, so I gave your eldest sister the only twenty coins I had on me. You must know that this money was hidden on me when I paid Zhier's family, and it was not taken by them. search."

Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea, then choked up and said, "Your second sister's family is even poorer. Her mother-in-law has given birth to more than a dozen children. She has run out of food since the Chinese New Year, and has to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables for food. We don't have any I wanted to find her, but I just asked for food along the way, but the food was not so good. Nine out of ten families told us to leave quickly. Occasionally, one family would give me something to eat, but it was not enough for the four of us, so I went along. On the way, we came to... your house."

They have had the experience of begging for food before, and they have formed a habit of begging for food when they have no money or food.It's just that the life of begging is really hard. They thought that the life of Zhaodi's family should be good, so they came here.

Zhaodi's tears kept falling, and she really felt sorry for her father, mother, sister, and younger brothers who suffered this kind of crime.
