Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 12 The Interlude by the River

It was only when she saw that Meng Da was still in good spirits that she became more at ease.Originally, I thought it would be a sneak peek, but I didn't expect to be smashed, and I immediately felt embarrassed.Is there anyone who will suspect anything?

She looked up guiltily, and her heart beat wildly when she saw Meng Da approaching.

"Brother Meng..."

"You borrowed our sixty copper coins to catch the medicine, and I will return it to you as soon as possible. It's just that the colder it gets, the less prey you can hunt. I'm afraid it will have to wait until after the spring. But don't worry, I will sell the grain if I can't get it together in autumn." Give it back to you. I'll talk to Second Brother Wu and let him have some more time." Meng Da interrupted her.

After hearing this, she hurriedly replied: "The money belongs to me, so there is no need to pay it back!"

"That won't work! How can we take your money for nothing?" Meng Da said with obvious alienation in his tone, "It's not easy for you to save money, and if Aunt Bai finds out, you will inevitably make a fuss. Go back quickly, I won't keep you. "

"When did Brother Meng be so polite to me? Thinking about the first few years, we..."

"What happened when I was a child doesn't matter. Now that I'm older, men and women are different. Besides, our Meng family is unlucky, so it's better for you not to get involved." Meng Da left these two sentences coldly, and then strode into the room .

Meng Duo was busy chopping vegetables, only to see his uncle and Dou Hua whispering through the wooden fence.Without saying a few words, the uncle returned to the house with a cold face, and Dou Hua looked at his back with tears in his eyes.

Just as she was about to go over and say a few words, Douhua turned around and ran away.Seeing this, she couldn't help sighing, and there was another thing in her mind.

The 13-year-old Meng Duo doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, but she has a 16-year-old soul at the moment, so she can naturally perceive the surging love between uncle and Dou Hua.

Meng Da was not idle when recuperating at home. He made a bow out of snakeskin and bamboo. Meng Duo was skillful and made a quiver out of leftovers.

The next day, Meng Da went into the mountain with a bow and arrow on his back.Meng Duo was mending clothes at home, when he saw the sun, he picked up some clothes and went to the river to wash them.

Sanchun obediently took Siya to watch the house, and Meng Duo gave a few more instructions before going out.

The women in the village often wash clothes by the river, talking and laughing in groups is a pastime.

Before reaching the river, Meng Duo heard a chatter and joke.She looked over from a distance and saw seven or eight daughters-in-law and mother-in-law squatting by the river beating their clothes.

Her steps faltered, and she turned to go downstream.

"Xiaoduo." Douhua came from behind, "Let's wash clothes together."

"Douhua, this way!" A sharp-eyed young daughter-in-law in the crowd shouted as she saw them waving.

Douhua pulled Meng Duo and walked over, someone immediately moved aside in disgust, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Unlucky!"

It was Wu's second daughter-in-law who lived in the east of the village who was talking, and the money for Meng Er's funeral was borrowed from her husband.Originally, she didn't agree with Wu Lao Er borrowing money, but now seeing that everyone who went to Meng's house was unlucky, she felt more and more uncomfortable.She urged Wu Er Er to ask for money several times, but he scolded her every time, and she was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger.

"I'm talking about Dou Hua, you don't know what's going on in this village, right? Your mother will definitely call you a scumbag when she sees you hanging out with messy people." He also glared at Meng Duo.

"Sister-in-law, all the people standing here are from the same village. Where can there be any messy people?" Douhua did not let go of Meng Duo's hand, and her words were full of defense, "A lot of things happened in Xiaoduo's house. It's fine if the folks don't help, and there's no need to step on it. We have lived in the same village for so many years, and we know who is what kind of character. What did the brothers and sisters of the Meng family do to endanger the neighbors? Brother Meng Catching snakes and going back is also for making a living, so who is in the way?"

"Hey, everyone, listen to this, why the more you think about it, the more it doesn't feel right. I reminded you kindly, but I'm not a human being. Who won't help? Who stepped on it again? The Meng family has no money to do it. I can't afford a funeral. If it wasn't for my man's kindness and willingness to borrow money, Meng's second son would still be lying on the ground. I'm just telling the truth, but you're in a hurry. Brother Meng, one bite at a time, is more excited than his own family? Good one Girl, you are not afraid of causing gossip!" Wu's second daughter-in-law is the most eloquent, and she has never lost a quarrel with her neighbors.

Douhua blushed from being choked by her, bit her lip and replied, "I am not afraid of the shadow slanting, and I have done nothing wrong, so I am naturally not afraid of gossip!"

"It's good to be upright and not afraid of the slanting shadow." Wu's second daughter-in-law covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't know who sneaked into Meng's house last night, and talked to Meng Da through the door last night."

"I'm going to find Xiaoduo..."

"Well, you prodigal hoof, you took my old lady's words as fart!" Suddenly, there was an angry roar from Pingdi, which made Douhua tremble in fright.

Looking up, she saw her mother running all the way over, the fat all over her body trembling, making people feel tired and panicked.

"I told you to stay away from the Meng family, but you still keep sending them to your door one after another. What kind of ecstasy did the Meng family give you?" Dou Huaniang is an out-and-out vulgar person, who doesn't know anyone in Chinese, except for her son. money.With her hips on her hips, she pointed at Douhua's nose and cursed.

Wu's second daughter-in-law fanned the flames, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, girls are extroverted, no matter how caring this girl is, she will end up taking advantage of others for nothing."

"My old lady brought up a feces and a pissed girl, why should I be so cheap about Mengda's wooden goods! Wu's second daughter-in-law, don't talk nonsense, when the time comes, my daughter will tear it up if she can't find a good wife. Your mouth." Dou Hua Niang said while picking up Dou Hua's ear.

Dou Hua Niang doesn't know how to quarrel with others, she has always been the type to fight without speculation.She carried a bag of soybeans lightly on her shoulders, as strong as a man.Wu's second daughter-in-law naturally didn't dare to confront her head-on, but just reminded her "with good intentions".

"Sister-in-law, this girl's good reputation is earned by herself! You are thinking about your own girl, but who can blame Douhua for being disobedient? A good girl will come to your door to talk to a man, tsk tsk... a person with eyes can You can see it, so who can say it!"

Douhua Niang became anxious when she heard this, and slapped Douhua on the face, "Bitch, you are going to piss me off!"

Seeing this, Meng Duo hurriedly tugged, and Douhua's tears fell in pairs, not daring to refute.

"It's none of your business for me to discipline my daughter! The whole family is unlucky, stay away from our Douhua in the future." Douhua Niang pushed, and Meng Duo staggered back two steps, the basin in his hand fell into the river, and his clothes fell down Float.

Meng Duo hurriedly jumped into the river to fish it, but Dou Hua Niang took the dou curd and left cursing.She didn't know if Douhua would be beaten when she returned home, and she became worried.

"See, it's unlucky for anyone who is next to the Meng family, let's go." I don't know who said it, and after a while, Meng Duo was the only one left by the river.
