peasant young lady

Chapter 29

Cheng Xia just wanted to change the water for the wax gourd, when he heard Xiaolong's call, he went out to take a look, and saw Cheng You looking around at the gate of the fenced yard. Cheng Xia still liked this younger brother, but he must have asked her to go back to her mother's house when he came. , to be honest, Cheng Xia is still a little bit reluctant to go back to her mother's house.

Yang Lihua knocked on the door in the morning and knocked for most of the day in vain. Seeing Yang Dalang and Cheng Xia coming back from the outside side by side, and seeing her holding the door high and knocking on the door, she instantly felt like a fool.In addition, I lost my temper last night and didn't see Cheng Xia take out the candy for her to eat, so I was so angry that I saw Cheng You coming again, and my mouth hurt even more.

"I said how poor your natal family is. After you have been married for a few days, people are sent to call you home every day. Are you hiding gold and silver mountains or thousands of family wealth? I'm afraid our family will rob some. I knew it earlier. You Cheng family are all people of this kind of virtue, even if you want to give us 50 taels, you won't be able to keep you."

Cheng Xia was really flattered by this little girl's attention all day long, "It's not too late, my younger brother just came to pick me up, so I'll go back to my mother's house now, as for the 50 taels of silver, let's just forget about it." , anyway, your family is not rare." Cheng Xia glanced at her coolly, seeing that she was blocked by herself again, she felt instantly relieved.

Xiaolong looked at Yang Lihua timidly, seeing her staring at him with a fierce look, he quickly hid beside Cheng Xia, carefully grabbed the corner of his clothes, how pitiful that little appearance was.

"I warn you," Yang Lihua was not easily intimidated, "After all, you owe our family 50 taels of silver. If you don't pay it in three months, I will ask my father to sell you to a kiln, so that you can taste the shame. Thousands of old men tortured to death."

"Shut up!" A sharp voice came from behind Yang Lihua, and Cheng Xia looked over in response, and it turned out to be Da Lang.His eyes were so sharp that Yang Lihua glared at Cheng Xia obediently, turned around and quickly ran away from Yang Dalang.

It's really rare, Cheng Xia wondered, Yang Erlang and Yang Lihua looked fearless, but they were only afraid of him, a sick and delicate husband-in-law, and they didn't know why.

Cheng Xia watched Cheng You look around, waved his hand to let him in, "What's wrong?"

Cheng You glanced nervously at Yang Dalang, then looked at Cheng Xia and said, "Second Sister, Mother told you and Second Brother-in-law to go home, and said that it was time to go back to your natal home."

hehe.Cheng Xia sneered twice, what kind of Sanchao Huimen, even if it was, it must have been yesterday, today is already the fourth day, and I just remembered Sanchao Huimen, I'm afraid the ulterior motives were not in the bar.

"What's going on at home?" Cheng Xia asked.

Cheng You still quickly glanced at the expressionless Yang Dalang, and then said, "Liu Jingzhong is here, and the elder sister and elder brother-in-law are going back to the county today. Dad said the family will get together."

This is what his mother said in the original words; call the little hoof and her husband who is dying, and the old lady will beat her husband's house.

Thousands of grass/mud/horses flew by in Cheng Xia's heart, but she couldn't show it. She was thinking about how to refuse, but her sick and delicate husband asked, "Shall we pass now?"

Hearing that he was speaking to himself, Cheng You nodded quickly.

"I'll change clothes, you wait for a while." Seeing Cheng You continue to nod, Yang Dalang winked at Cheng Xia, and the two entered the room together.

"I saw that you seemed to be changing the water for wax gourd sticks just now, so I brought clean water for you." As soon as the door closed, Yang Dalang spoke first, pointing to a large basin of clean water next to the lime water, Cheng Xia smiled gratefully, this time The man's mind was so clear, "You don't need to go to my mother's side."

Yang Dalang said indifferently, "The ugly daughter-in-law also has to see her parents-in-law, and it's not a problem if the son-in-law doesn't come. Since the younger brother is here to invite you, let's go back together."

Seeing him talking, Cheng Xia started to take off his clothes, and quickly turned around. A few days ago, Yang Dalang hid and changed his clothes by himself, what happened today?Did you take the wrong medicine?
"You should change your clothes too," Yang Dalang reminded Cheng Xia in a good voice, looking at Cheng Xia's face turned away in embarrassment.

Cheng Xia shook her head quickly, "No need, my clothes are fine." Pure white, just looking for Cheng's bad luck.

"Have you recruited thieves at home?" Yang Dalang's doubtful voice sounded behind Cheng Xia, Cheng Xia suddenly turned his head, seeing his husband-in-law Bai Nen's shoulders, he immediately turned around in fright, "Where did you recruit thieves?"

"Oh," Yang Dalang responded casually indifferently, "the cabinet has been turned over."

Cheng Xia was embarrassed for a moment, she forgot to pack the cabinet. "Maybe my sister-in-law came here secretly to look through things."

Let Yang Lihua bear the blame first.But she just took the opportunity to ask Yang Dalang if he knew about the backpack, "Is there anything missing?"

Yang Dalang shook his head, "The clothes are just messed up, and there is nothing of value."

Listening to Yang Dalang's tone of voice, it seems that he doesn't know about the backpack.Cheng Xia shook her head, turned around and hurried to look at the soaked wax gourd strips.

Winter melon strips soaked in lime water overnight need to be replaced with fresh water, and need to be replaced several times, at least three times, in order to best remove the taste of lime water in the winter melon strips and ensure the best condition of the winter melon.

Cheng Xia remembered that her mother had told her to change the water every two hours. Since she was going to Cheng's house now, it seemed that she would not be able to return for a while, so she changed it for the first time for the time being, and changed it for the other two times when she came back.

After tidying up and going out with Yang Dalang, they saw Cheng You and Xiaolong standing face to face in the yard, looking at each other, no one was good at sizing up each other, that was really funny.

Cheng Xia smiled, carried Xiaolong to Lin Xiu, and then followed Cheng You to go home.

Cheng You was very curious about Yang Dalang, the second brother-in-law. He kept looking at him along the way, blinking his small eyes, and then bowed his head when Yang Dalang looked at him. After several times, Cheng Xia couldn't help it, "Cheng You, what are you looking at?" ?”

"I, I," Cheng You stammered and couldn't speak clearly, "I see that the second brother-in-law is better than the eldest brother-in-law, the second brother-in-law and the second sister stand together like, just like singing in an opera, what is it called? , " Cheng You anxiously scratched his head.

"match made in heaven."

"Yes, yes, it's a natural couple," Cheng You exclaimed happily, and it took a while to realize that the words just now were said by the second brother-in-law, and he smiled embarrassedly in an instant, "Second brother-in-law, my second sister-in-law Being bullied all the time, can second brother-in-law protect my second sister?"

"Okay." Yang Erlang gave Cheng Xia a meaningful look, and responded without hesitation.

Cheng You smiled happily. Although the second brother-in-law looked a little weak, he somehow believed what the second brother-in-law said.

Cheng Xia listened to the entrustments and promises of the two men, one big and one small, and felt very bored, so she pulled Cheng You who was curiously pulling Yang Dalang to question, "I ask you, the eldest brother-in-law and the others are leaving today, Liu Why does Jingzhong come here again?"

Cheng You's little face that was still beaming just now drooped instantly, "Mother said she missed Liu Jingzhong, so she asked someone to bring him from the county seat, and he's still on the way now."

"Does eldest sister live in the county?"

Cheng You nodded obediently, "The eldest brother-in-law has no parents since he was a child, but his parents left him a house in the county. The eldest brother-in-law was brought up by his wife since he was a child, and later he married the eldest sister, and also I have been living with my wife all the time, in the house of my eldest brother-in-law."

Cheng Xia nodded clearly. In this way, her brother-in-law still has some family background. Being able to have a house in the county is a hundred times better than their peasant family.But what do they want so much silver for?Ten taels and 20 taels are not enough, why do they spend so much money?
If Cheng Xia can reveal the true face of Cheng Shang's hypocrisy and let her mother see clearly, then all the money from her mother's family will not go into the eldest sister's pocket. In this way, the younger brother may also go to school.

In her opinion, Cheng You is a smart child, it would be a pity not to study.And this child treats her so well, it is impossible for her to watch all the benefits of the family being taken by that white lotus sister and deaf brother-in-law, and there is also that nephew named Liu Jingzhong, Cheng Xia also wants to see it today What is that child like.

I met a lot of villagers on the way, and Cheng Xia followed Cheng You to call out, but he didn't show his feet.

Seeing a woman holding her hand, Cheng Xia looked at Cheng You in embarrassment for a while, wondering who is this lady?

"Ms. Tian, ​​you are going to the fields." Cheng You really lived up to expectations.

Cheng Xia called out, but the woman still didn't let go, she stroked Cheng Xia's hand, looked at Yang Dalang again, and sighed inwardly, "Son, I've wronged you." She wiped her hand. Tears left.

OK?
"Second sister," Cheng You pulled Cheng Xia's clothes cautiously, "You and second brother-in-law are married, so don't worry about brother Dazhi."

Huh?Aunt Tian just now is Tian Dazhi's mother?She knew what kind of grass Tian Dazhi was, so she didn't bother to take care of it.

Greeting all the way into Cheng's house, Cheng Xia had visited Cheng's yard several times in the past few days, and Cheng Xia really felt a lot more cordial.

In the yard, Dahua twisted her fat body and rushed over tremblingly, "Little sister, Liu Jingzhong has arrived." Then she glanced at Yang Dalang, and whispered to Cheng Xia, "Little sister, this Yang Dalang Looks good, can you find the way at night?"

Cheng Xia blushed, and greeted Da Hua bluntly, "Why are you laughing at me like Cheng Qiu?"

"Okay, okay," Dahua was out of breath after running two steps, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mom and dad are waiting for you inside, talk well."

He didn't even go to the ground, it seems that he really has something to ask.

Cheng Xia glanced at Yang Dalang, saw him smiling, and entered the room together.

Before he could see who was there when he entered the door, he was bumped into by a burly little boy and almost knocked against the door frame. Seeing Cheng Xia's distressed appearance, the child laughed out loud, which made the other people in the room burst into laughter .

Cheng Xia supported the door frame to stand firm, and looked at the little boy who looked like a bear with a sweet smile, "Jingzhong has arrived. Auntie feels like I haven't seen Jingzhong for a long time. Does Jingzhong miss Auntie?"

"What the hell!" Liu Jingzhong scolded disdainfully, and then stretched out his hand to Cheng Xia, "My mother said you have a lot of copper coins, so give me all of them, I want them all, and if I miss one, I'll beat you up."

Cheng Xia lowered his head to restrain his emotions, then looked up at Liu Jingzhong, "Jingzhong, where does my aunt have money? It's your mother and your father who are rich."

"Bah!" Liu Jingzhong spat at Cheng Xia, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, Jingzhong, don't you want copper coins, Auntie has them here."

Liu Jingzhong's turning around stopped immediately, overjoyed, he leaned in front of Cheng Xia, and stretched out his hand again.

"Come here a little more, Auntie will give you all the money, don't let your mother see it."

Just as Liu Jingzhong leaned over, he let out a scream like killing a pig.
