first-class pretty peasant woman

Chapter 31

The woman looked about 40 to [-] years old, and she didn't know whether it was due to illness or work, her face was yellow and black, and she looked sad.

But judging from her clothes and the clothes in her wooden tub, one can tell that the family must be very poor. Both men and women's clothes are mended again and again.

This new year has just passed a month, and the spring is chilly, and there are only some single clothes in her tub for washing.

"Hey, isn't this Aunt Zhong's family? I heard that Zhong Qing, Zhong Hong and Dayong are the closest couples in your family. Remember to remind them well that it's not good if they get caught by that evil spirit." Yo." The woman was in deep thought, and after washing her clothes, Mrs. Li was carrying the tub and was about to go home, but seeing her in a daze, she walked around, said a few words, then turned and left up.

Those who speak are interested, and those who listen are even more intentional.

After thinking about Mrs. Li's words, the woman, Mrs. Zhong Mo, Zhong Qing's mother, hurriedly started washing her clothes.

She has to finish washing quickly and go home.When she woke up this morning, Hong'er told her that she was going to Jinxiu's place at noon.If Mrs. Li was right, it would be too late for her to regret it.

"Mother, who did you hear that? I've been to my second sister-in-law's many times, and I haven't seen anything abnormal about me. I haven't seen it before." Zhong Mo returned home. At that time, just in time for her daughter to go out, she stopped her.

But she didn't expect that after Zhong Hong heard what she said, she would just let it go if she didn't believe it, and even helped Jinxiu and the two of them to speak good things.

"Mom, don't make noise with some women in the village who have enough to eat and have nothing to do. My second sister-in-law is a nice person. Look, my second sister-in-law bought my clothes for her to make clothes. She Du Yun made me a little gown, and I like it very much. People like the second sister-in-law may have been transformed by evil spirits."

Zhong Hongdang was wearing a light yellow mandarin jacket, which just covered the patch on the old white padded jacket she was wearing underneath, and only the sleeves were exposed, which looked much better.And the light yellow color also looks warm, like the feathers of a duckling, it feels soft to the touch.

In the past, except for the occasional Chinese New Year clothes that were a little red, her clothes were all plain white, or black or blue, and none of the colorful colors that little girls like.

So Jinxiu gave this gown, she couldn't put it down.

"You girl, why are you so obsessed with this gown? Hey, no, you used to go to their house with your brother, didn't you see that you and Jinxiu had a good time? Could it be that something unclean really fascinated you Oh, my baby, mother can't let you be harmed by that unclean thing like this. Go, follow mother to find your father, and ask your father to find someone to wake you up." (It’s a local dialect. In some places, it’s also called a horoscope to find a fortune teller to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.)
When Zhong Hong heard this, her face showed embarrassment, and she broke away from Zhong Mo's restraint, feeling a little helpless.

"Mother, what's the matter? Do you dare to believe what Sister-in-law Qin said? If it weren't for her, would Brother Qin and Sister-in-law be kicked out of the house? I see, she just doesn't want to be nice and blind outside Pass it on."

"Mother naturally knows that she is not a good person. But Jinxiu and Dayong have really become too much these days, maybe you really told that woman the right thing?" The more Zhong Mo thought, the more he felt Things are not right, the more I feel that the haunted house is really haunted.

"Who is right? What is right? Hey, sister, why are you staying home? Didn't you make an appointment with Jinxiu to go to her house?" While the mother and daughter were talking, Zhong Qing came back.The hoe in his hand leaned against the eaves of his own house, and inserted into the stubble between the two of them.Thinking of Zhong Hong's appointment with Jinxiu again, she asked.

"Oh, brother, tell me about my mother. She washed clothes by the river and met Mrs. Qin. I don't know what Mrs. Qin said to everyone. When my mother came back, she kept pulling me, not letting me I went to the second sister-in-law's place. I said, said that the second sister-in-law and the second brother Qin were possessed by ghosts, so they became as smart and capable as they are now."

After hearing Zhong Hong's words, Zhong Qing's complexion began to darken, and he glanced coldly in the direction of the Qin family, "That wicked woman, she went outside the haunted house yesterday and dared to change any foul language She used it to scold Dayong and his wife. Jinxiu didn't have the same knowledge as her, and in the end she had to kick Dayong with an inch. Then Jinxiu got angry and took a bamboo stick to fight her. How could Jinxiu be gentle? Compared with her rudeness, Dayong beat her because he didn't want his daughter-in-law to be beaten. It's good now, let her say something. Mother, you too, obviously you can't believe her words, in the future Never mind what she said, just pretend you didn't hear it."

"Brother, how do you know that is clear?"

Zhong Qing sighed, walked in, took a sip of hot water and drank it.

"I just pulled grass in the field and ran into your brother Dayong. He told me." The Qin family's field is just next to the cold water field allocated to Dayong, and on the same horizontal line. On one side, we chatted across the ridge of the field.

They were all hungry now, so they came back to eat before going.

"Hmph, no wonder. Mom, you heard me. My brother said it's okay. I'm going out to find my second sister-in-law. Don't stop me." With her brother's support, Zhong Hong's face brightened, pretending to be righteous , crossed his hips and couldn't go out.

Although Zhong Moshi is a mother, at home, the man has the final say on all important matters.When her man is not at home, she will listen to her son.When her son said nothing was wrong, she could only nod her head and let the girl go away.

"Mother, don't stop that girl if you have nothing to do. She has fallen in love with brother Jinxiu. Silly girl, she thought that my brother didn't know, and didn't think about it. A younger sister who is growing up?" He really didn't find it strange the first few times, but in the past two or three months, Su Zhixuan came to Jinxiu's house a few times, and his sister took him to Qin's house a few times , that eyes are always attached to Su Zhixuan, if he can't understand, he is not stupid, he is simply stupid.

When Zhong Moshi heard it, it was not bad.

"What are you talking about? You said that sister Hong has taken a fancy to that Zhixuan of the Su family? Oh, hey, what kind of brother is your brother? How much money does the Su family have, and Su Zhixuan looks good too?" Wrong, but it's not like you don't know about him and that Miss Liu family, why do you just watch your sister fall into it?" The more Zhong Mo said, the angrier he became, he wished he could grow wings, fly out, and Zhong Hong was thrown back.

The daughter she worked so hard to raise was not used as a humiliation for others.Besides, Su Zhixuan is about the same age as Brother Qing, and Sister Hong is only fourteen miles away, which is too far away.

"Oh, my mother, you are good at other things, why are you so confused about this matter. Although Brother Xuan is not from our Baifeng Village, he has played with me since he was a child. , character and appearance, etc., we still understand. As for the divorce, you can’t blame Brother Xuan at all, okay? He and Liu Xiaoyun also had a marriage contract, it’s not normal to think about her for a few years! If he When she was just divorced, she forgot about Liu Xiaoyun in a blink of an eye, or she immediately found a woman and married her, could it be that brother Xuan you and I knew?" Zhong Qing said, a little excited.After understanding Zhong Hong's thoughts, he also thought about Su Zhixuan carefully. He really still remembered the pain of the divorce at the beginning, and he couldn't get over it.
