Reborn as a village girl in ancient times

Chapter 3 Mother was punished in my place

"Brother, thank you, otherwise I really don't know where to cut pigweed." We set off with two big bamboo buildings on our backs.

"Brother, didn't grandma and grandpa arrange any work for you? It's really unfair." I complained while kicking the stones under my feet.

"Look at what the big girl said, I will mow the pigweed for you when I go to graze the cattle." My brother patted my head and looked at me jokingly.

"Brother, have you forgotten? And, don't pat me on the head, or I will forget more things." He ran to the front of his brother and said.

After cutting the pig grass, I went to grandma's house to feed the pigs. Wow, what about these three pigs? I heard that there was a saying about killing pigs in ancient times.

"What are you daydreaming about, you dead girl? Hurry up and feed the pigs, it's almost noon, why don't you hurry up and cook to starve me to death?" Grandma pointed at me and cursed.

I rolled my eyes: "Grandma, I haven't rested all morning. I just recovered. How about asking Sister Qingxiu to sit down for lunch?"

"You little brat, dead girl, your uncle said that he can marry your cousin Qingya, and you can be a young mistress. You have to take good care of her, you can't do rough work, and your hands are full of calluses. How can you marry someone as a young mistress?"

"Then how about..." Before I finished my words, grandma's broad palm hit her head hard.

"Understood." Seeing that grandma's face was not right, I jumped up and down to hide, and hurried to the kitchen to do some work.I want to marry someone to be a young mistress. Uncle and the others really dare to think that I am just a boy who can't even pass the exam for a scholar, and I want my daughter to be a young mistress... Forget it, it's none of my business, work.

I really don’t understand how to use fire pockets to light a fire in ancient times. Although I used to be a skilled worker, I haven’t used this before, and I don’t know how to use it. After studying for a long time, the kitchen was filled with thick white smoke, which made me cry. .

"Damn girl, you're going to set the kitchen on fire. Your grandpa and the others will be back for dinner soon. You didn't do anything, and the smoke was everywhere." Grandma scolded, and greeted me with a broom.

I was beaten hard several times, I cried out in pain, I stared angrily at my grandma who beat me, how could I beat people indiscriminately like this, even the eyes and noses were beaten at the same time, I rushed over to prepare Resisting, I don't know if I heard my exclamation, my mother ran over and hugged me who was about to rush out, and my mother protected me in her arms and took a few broomsticks for me.

"Mother, you just have something to talk about, big girl, don't hit me." Mother shivered and shivered in my arms, as if she was also afraid of this mother-in-law, but she spoke out for me.

"The beating is still light, wait for you to help cook and let her kneel under the sun. Not only will the kitchen be full of smoke, but she dares to resist when I beat her. It's because her wings are hard. Don't you see me as an old woman?" You want to live alone, don’t you? How do you teach your children? This is not filial.” Grandma said panting with two big eyes.

"Mother, the child's illness has just recovered, and his body..." Mother said in a low voice, before she finished speaking.This grandma had already sat on the ground and cried: "Oh, my life is so miserable, why is no one filial, I raised him so big just to make him talk back, I don't understand you now, I said No one listened to what you said." Wait a minute, my mother, who Yun always talked about, walked into the kitchen, and her crying did not stop.

My mother is really timid and dare not resist. Even if she speaks out for me, she finally goes to work silently with tears on her face. Seeing such a mother, I am speechless. Is such a person That's great.

"Come on, sister, come here." My brother gently grabbed my clothes and dragged me out of grandma's house, then turned around and returned to our house.

"Don't talk to grandma, she's just like that, don't blame mother, mother has nothing to do, as long as we do something wrong or disobedient, grandpa and grandma will make dad kneel all the time, or let us live alone , but we don’t share anything, how do we live, so we can’t resist what grandma tells us to do, and dad..." When my brother said this, his eyes were full of anger, grievance, and a trace of disappointment and hatred.I don't know what to think of and shut up.

"Wipe your big painted face, it's so ugly." What happened just now seemed to be a dream, and my brother was still the sunny brother.

"Little sister and elder brother are at home. Mother has already cooked dinner. Let's eat first. Mother will come back later..." I am in my twenties, and I want someone so much smaller than me Comfort me.The dissatisfaction with mother just now disappeared under the explanation of my brother.This mother still loves me.

After lunch, the elder brother asked the elder brother to bring the younger sister to stay at home. Neither father nor mother came back to eat, so they left the food to warm on the stove.

My brother is going to herd cattle and help me remove pigweed by the way. We are going to go to grandparents' house to lead cattle: "Brother, mother is so clever, why hasn't she come back yet? Is it because of my business..." I am really guilty, I It would be fine if you didn't resist.

"It's okay, don't go in, I'll go and take a look first and bring the cow out." My brother asked me to stand at the gate of the courtyard and enter grandma's house by myself.

At the gate of the courtyard, I heard some scolding and my brother's pleading in a low voice. I couldn't stay any longer. These things were all caused by me. I couldn't stay here alone, so I rushed in hastily.

I burst into tears when I saw the scene. My mother was kneeling under the sun at noon, and the sun at noon, which is already Lixia, is also vicious. Her dark face was even darker under the sun, sweating It has covered her face, and her clothes have been soaked with sweat. It feels like my mother is a little crumbling.

"Mother..." I yelled, "Mother...you get up, if you want to kneel, I will kneel, how can you..." I was choked up and couldn't continue, no wonder grandma didn't come to make trouble, I thought mother would do it The meal was fine, and it turned out...

"Big girl, don't cry, your grandma said I'll be fine if I kneel for two hours, it's almost here, don't go in the house, wait for your brother outside the door, go quickly..." Seeing mother's distraught voice, My footsteps towards the door paused, but I still rushed in. I couldn't let my mother, for the first time in two lives, have such a person willing to suffer this grievance for me.

I opened the curtain, and there were people sitting inside. They were eating. No one reacted to my mother kneeling outside. See everyone clearly.

My father sat aside and bowed his head silently, while my elder brother knelt under the kang and begged in a low voice.Seeing this scene, I suddenly felt that I was too impulsive. This is not the modern age. Only the daughter-in-law of ten thousand years has become a mother-in-law. There is no grievance or grievance. No matter who is unfilial, no one can survive in this society. On the first day, I dared to poke such a big basket without knowing the rules here. I clenched my fist and knelt down with a plop, tears streaming down my face: "Grandma, I was wrong, I didn't want to hit you!" You didn't want to resist, I just don't know what I'm doing, please forgive me." I raised my face and looked at my grandma with innocent eyes full of tears.I know that this kind of look can move people the most, with innocence, fear, and bewilderment.
