The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 91

But what can I say, the disaster has already happened, and it is useless to talk too much.

Yingniang comforted: "Auntie, don't be sad, crying too much is not good for your health. Zhongping is cooking, at least the four of you have a full meal first, and then discuss what to do next." .”

Although Yingniang said it seemed to be very relaxed, she was actually very anxious in her heart.There was no vacant house for them in the family, and they had no land here, and they could find nothing to earn a living.Birming's oil mill can only be opened after the autumn harvest. Is it possible that they will live here all the time?
Although it is said that refugees from outside cannot be taken in in the village, this is Zhaodi's natal family, which belongs to relatives, and I can't control how long they live there. Anyway, if something happens to them, they can just go to Xue's family at that time.It's no problem to help them for a few days, but if it goes on for a long time, the whole family will be dragged down.

At this time, Zhongping had already finished cooking, that is, he made more than a dozen corn tortillas, and then fried two dishes.He put these on the table in the yard and put chopsticks on them.

These tables were borrowed from neighbors for the banquet yesterday, and I haven't had time to return them.Boming beckoned them to eat quickly, at this moment Zhaodi winked at Zhongping, and the two quietly entered his room.

Zhaodi's eyes were red and swollen, she sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Zhongping, what do you think we should do? Our family's money is all put in the sewing workshop, and now I only have one thousand coins on me, so I have to keep it for myself. Even if I give it all to my natal family, they won’t be able to build a house if they take it back. What’s more, my natal family doesn’t even have any land now, so I’ll be hungry when I go back.”

Zhong Ping frowned, also very worried.But he couldn't come up with an idea for a while, so he said: "Let's talk about it in a few days, sister-in-law has a lot of ideas, so let's listen to sister-in-law when the time comes."

"But our family doesn't have a vacant house to live in, what should we do?"

Zhongping frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "Let's live in the empty house of our parents tonight, and leave our house to your parents. Your two younger brothers can sleep on the floor beside the kang. I will take them to bed later. Your two younger brothers go to the mountain to cut trees, build a wooden shed quickly, and deal with it first like Liang Zi."

Zhao Di nodded, "That's the only way to go."

The two of them came out after discussing this, Liu Shi and the others were full now.Zhongping took Zhaodi's two younger brothers up the mountain, and after Boming and Jiwang returned the tables and chairs, they all went to work in the fields.

Jinling was taken by Yun'er to wash clothes by the pond, and Yingniang came to the thread workshop with Nian'er in her arms.

Only Zhaodi and Xiao Nuan were left in the yard to accompany her parents. Seeing that everyone had left, Liu Shi said, "Zhaodi, you live a better life than your two older sisters." It’s much better. It’s all because my parents didn’t have that kind of vision back then, they didn’t bring your two sisters to Yongzhen to sell them, and they married them off early, but they suffered like that.”

Thinking of her two older sisters, Zhaodi felt very uncomfortable, "Mother, don't blame yourself, don't most of the girls in Qishan marry into the mountains, and there are only a few dozen who escaped. Come with me Those who were bought back were not all happy. I heard that the chrysanthemum who married into Jiangjia Village was so poor that she was beaten by her mother-in-law all day long. She was going to have a baby five days ago. The in-laws were not in a hurry to find Mrs. Wen. Finally, when Mrs. Wen came over, she... died of dystocia. The child came out somehow, but was still alive. Because it was a son, her man and mother-in-law were still happy Yes, I heard that they didn’t shed a single tear for her. They carried the chrysanthemum to the mountain and buried it in a random hole, and they didn’t even bother to do the funeral, saying they were afraid of bringing bad luck to the child.”

Zhaodi sighed again and again when she said this, "there are still a few who are not doing very well, but they are better than Chrysanthemum. There are also two or three who are doing well, not far from me, and they are all because they gave birth to a son After that, the in-laws' family treated them better."

Mrs. Liu heard what Zhaodi said, and said happily: "Fortunately, it was Zhongping's family who bought you at the beginning. When Zhongping went to Qishan last time, I saw that he was kind to you. Your father and I have worked hard all our lives, and finally Looking forward to such a good son-in-law."

Zhaodi knew that her parents put all their hopes on her and Zhongping, and it was hard for her to tell her parents about the difficulties at home, so she had no choice but to stop talking about it and just talk about family matters.

Yingniang was holding Nian'er and was sitting at the door of the workshop playing. After a while, Yinyue also came with Xiaoyu in her arms.

As soon as Yinyue came, she said, "Sister-in-law, just now when Shuchang came back from the field to pick up things, he said that he met the second elder brother and the two younger brothers of the second sister-in-law on the way. I heard that all four members of the second sister-in-law's family have come to join the second sister-in-law's house." , can the second sister-in-law's family support such a number of them?"

Ying Niang smiled and said: "You are quite well informed, and you have known about it for just a short while. Now that we have separated, it is not easy for us to intervene in whether your second sister-in-law's family can support them. Besides, this is just For the time being, you can always figure out a way. Your second sister-in-law's natal family is not a shameless person, so they should be able to find a way to make a living and support their own family."

Yinyue answered: "Oh, I'm just worried that the second sister-in-law's family will be dragged down by her mother's family, and then dragged down to the workshop. You think the second sister-in-law will not think about getting back the [-]% of the money she paid?"

"You think too much, how can she? No matter how much your second sister-in-law loves her mother's family, she still has to take care of her own family, right?"

Yinyue frowned and was thinking about something, "If the second sister-in-law really took out the money, our two families can almost make up for it. But if we earn money in the future, we will still share it with her family. Twenty cents. Although it is said that we are separated, we are a family after all, and we are not able to live a good life if our bones are broken. It’s just that, we’re at a loss.”

Yingniang used to think that Yinyue was selfish and only cared about her own life, but she never thought that she could say such a thing, which meant that even if Zhaodi took the money, the money she earned would be distributed to Zhaodi's family.This surprised Yingniang, could it be that she was infected by a family who usually doesn't care about it?

"Yinyue, if you can think this way in your heart, your second sister-in-law will definitely be very happy if she finds out. As for the matter of whether you will suffer or not, I don't think it is because I don't think your second sister-in-law will go out at all. It's [-]% of the money. Don't think about it too much. It's just that in such a difficult situation for your second sister-in-law's family, let's be more considerate and don't give her natal family a bad look. You usually put on a cold face when you are unhappy , don't do this this time, your second sister-in-law is already blocked enough, let's not add to her any more."

Yinyue smiled embarrassingly, and she also knew that once she couldn't get used to something, she would lose her face, so she said: "Otherwise, I won't go to your yard to play these days, I'm afraid I can't help it, after all the four of them Everyone wants to eat from the second sister-in-law's house!"

Yingniang suddenly remembered something, and asked: "How is your mother doing recently, yesterday I heard from Shuchang that her arms and legs were shaking so badly that she could fall down while walking?"

Yinyue paused for a moment, her eyes turned red, "Isn't that right, I spent some money to buy medicine for her to boil and drink. I'm afraid that in a few days, she won't be able to go to the ground anymore."

Yingniang sighed in her heart, every family really has scriptures that are hard to recite.Shuchang wants to support his mother-in-law, while Zhongping now takes care of his father-in-law's family for the time being.Jinling's parents are only her, a daughter. Although her parents are still in good health and can still work for many years, there will always be times when they are too old to move, and at that time they have to rely on Ji Wang and Jinling.

After thinking about it, she felt that her natal family was saving trouble. Recently, because of planting soybeans, her natal family's life was a little easier, and she never came to ask for money.What's more, she has two younger brothers, even if her parents are old, the two younger brothers can manage things more or less.

Just thinking about this, she suddenly felt that she really shouldn't think so, because she saw Zhu Zi bringing his Chuan'er, who was as brightly dressed as a bride, coming.

Although peasant brides like to dress up more than peasant women who have been married for a long time, there is no one as ostentatious as her, not to mention the bright red clothes, and blood red lips.There are several strings of bracelets made of unknown beads on both wrists. Although they are not worth a lot, can you work neatly with so many things?Maybe she didn't do any work at all.

Didn't she have six elder sisters in her natal family? It seems that she can't do all the work in the family since she was a child.At that time, Zhuzi insisted on marrying her because she was told that she was good-looking.Some people are good-looking and capable, and the whole family will be happy when they marry in, but some people are just good-looking but not useful, and Chuan'er also belongs to this kind of useless.

During the Chinese New Year, Yingniang also heard her mother Li Xinghua say that her intestines were going to be green, and she found such a delicious and lazy daughter-in-law who bought this and that all day long, and said that she should have listened to Yingniang and married another girl for Zhuzi. .

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Chuan'er and Zhuzi also came to the house for dinner.Yingniang has some good clothes and hairpins, and Chuan'er can't put it down when she sees them, and seems to want Yingniang to give her.Yingniang felt very uncomfortable when she saw it, so of course she didn't give it to her, so she pretended not to know what she was thinking.

Seeing the two of them approaching, Yingniang didn't move her buttocks, she just asked: "Why are you two here, shouldn't the family be busy with field work this season?"

Chuan'er called her sister sweetly, then glanced at Yinyue next to her.She didn't say hello to Yinyue, but just stared at Yinyue's silver bracelet and the hairpin on her head, her eyes were very hot.

Ying Niang frowned, "Tell me quickly, what's the matter with you?"
