Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 30 Who Knocks on the Widow's Door

Sure enough, they are all third-class places in the lower middle.It's not the worst, but the combination is bad enough.Meng Duo's heart sank when he heard this, and felt that there was something strange about it, but he couldn't figure out where the business was.

Before she could speak, she heard someone beside her begging the village chief in a crying voice.She turned her head and saw that it was Widow Chen.

This widow Chen is only twenty years old, and her natal family is Wangtun, twenty miles away from Chenjia Village.Because the family was poor, her father married her to a sick man for a few dollars.Unexpectedly, less than a year after she married, her husband became seriously ill and passed away, leaving her and the posthumous child in her stomach.

Seeing that she was honest and easy to bully, her uncle and sister-in-law gave her a thatched hut and a few ridges and separated the family.Soon, she gave birth to a son, and the mother and son depended on each other for life, and they barely survived with the help of kind folks.

Now that she heard that the land will be redistributed, Widow Chen is very happy. The couple have a lot of land. If she takes good care of it, they should be able to feed their mother and son.Unexpectedly, the lands she drew were all the worst lands, and the three lands were far apart.Planting in spring is troublesome, and harvesting in autumn is even more difficult.She couldn't afford to delay the time alone, and the cost of hiring a donkey cart was too high.There was not much grain to be harvested in the first place, and the cost was so high that it was not as much grain as there are left in the few ridges now.

She wants to trade with others, but no one wants to trade with her.There are even bad-hearted people who want to take advantage of the fire and offer to exchange her low-grade land for her middle-level land.

In desperation, all she had to do was ask the village chief to see if he could help with the adjustment.

"I know the difficulties of you orphans and widowed mothers, but this matter is difficult! If people don't want to, I can't force them." The village head was full of embarrassment, "Everyone needs to support their families, and it is not easy. If there is no one Swap with you, I..."

"Chen Dawei, I drew the lottery, you have no right to speak!" His daughter-in-law got out of nowhere and raised her eyebrows and said, "Being a poor village head, I don't see you earning a penny. Talking is becoming more and more generous. You have seniors and children, and a family of six needs to eat, so don't pretend all day long!"

The village head is a famous fear of internal affairs, everyone knows it, and they feel sorry for the village head in private.Such a kind and honest person, why did he find such a dominatrix?
In the eyes of the villagers, the village head is almost perfect, kind, upright, and helpful, and he pretends that the villagers have no selfishness in his heart.But Biansheng found a dominatrix-like daughter-in-law who spoke vulgarly and sharply, and yelled at every turn. It was hard to be the head of a village, and her life was not comfortable at all.But this did not damage the glorious and tall image of the village head at all, but made the villagers more considerate of the village head.

"What is a woman's family talking about here? I'm doing business, and the elders in the clan are still there." The village chief frowned and drank.

"Isn't she a woman?" The village chief's daughter-in-law pursed her lips and stared at Widow Chen, "I don't care what you do, but no one can touch this place! She pretends to be pitiful all day long, and only targets men. I don't know what the idea is. Hmph, little slut!" In the last sentence, she lowered her voice and deliberately bumped into Widow Chen before leaving.

"This woman, she went to the house without a fight for three days." The village chief shook his head helplessly.

Widow Chen was well-behaved, and when she saw men on weekdays, she walked around corners for fear of spreading gossip.People say that there is a lot of gossip in front of the widow's house, and her life is difficult, and some people take the opportunity to take advantage of it.

The year before last, someone knocked on the door of her house in the middle of the night, and she took the kitchen knife from home and went out to chop it up. Instead of chopping up the villain, she hurt her own arm.A lot of blood was shed, which woke up the neighbors, and the gangster ran away in fright.From then on, no one dared to think of her again.

Now when she heard what the village chief's wife said, she hurriedly took two steps back, lowered her head and said, "I won't embarrass the village chief, I won't cause trouble for the village chief."

Her voice trembled, her long eyelashes were trembling with tears, and she looked a bit pitiful to me.

Her little child was pulling her trouser legs, wearing a thin, patched padded jacket, with snot hanging from his chapped face.He looked up at his mother, and suddenly opened his mouth wide and cried "Wow".

"What's the matter, Fuwa?" She hurriedly picked up the child to comfort him, but the child didn't know what was wrong, and cried harder.Originally, she was in a low mood, and she was upset by the crying of the child, so she simply hugged the child and cried loudly.

Someone stepped forward to comfort her, and she left with a sob in her arms.Meng Da couldn't help sighing when he saw it, everyone's life is hard.

Meng Da was not in a hurry to register, and asked Meng Duo to take his younger siblings home without waiting for him to have dinner, while he went to the town.

He didn't come back until it was dark, Meng Duo took out the food that Wen was in the pot, and he said while eating: "I went to the town to inquire, and they all said that the Chen family is rich but low-key, and has never bullied others." It's a business. You can go if you want."

"Uncle, you agreed?" Meng Duo was pleasantly surprised.

Meng Da nodded, and then said: "On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, you go to Chen's house to do some work. When Sanchun grows older, you can take care of Siya, and then let Mrs. Wang take care of it. , take other people's money, don't play tricks and be lazy, don't take rewards from others easily. Let's do what we can, and we don't have to worry about eating at home, at least don't let yourself be wronged." Meng Duo listened carefully and remembered what he said in the heart.

"I have one more thing to discuss with you." Meng Da put down the bowl and chopsticks and said.

After hearing this, Meng Duo replied: "The family affairs are all up to uncle, and I don't know anything, so there is no need to discuss it."

"I'm talking about the fields." Meng Da glanced at her and said, "You own the land at home, so how can I make my own decisions? Our family's location is relatively small, but we still have more money than Widow Chen. Arrived well. I looked at her so poorly that I wanted to change her. What do you think?"

Meng Duo's heart softened when he thought of Widow Chen holding the child and crying into a ball.She is also a little widow. Seeing Widow Chen alone and helpless, she feels cold.

"Their mother and child are really sympathetic. Although our family is difficult, it is easier than hers. After a while, my uncle will go to her house and tell her so that she won't get angry. Don't delay the registration tomorrow."

Seeing that she agreed without hesitation, Meng Da felt quite comforted.

He stood up and walked to the door, then turned around and walked back, "Clean up, let's go together as a family."

Meng Duo immediately understood that the uncle was trying to avoid suspicion.Going to knock on the widow's door at night, although there is a business, it's hard to say.

She hurriedly cleaned up the dishes, and asked Sanchun and Siya to put on their clothes.Meng Da hugged Siya and walked in front, and she led Sanchun to follow closely behind.When the moon rises, you can see the road under your feet clearly.Meng Da looked back from time to time, telling her to be careful where she stepped.
