Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 5

It wasn't until Zhou Qingtan limped away that Li came over, looked at Fang Dachuan in shock and asked, "Dachuan, what's going on, who is that person?"

"It's okay, I'm just a rogue. I saw that I sold the bear in the town, so I followed me all the way. I was careless and didn't notice it." Fang Dachuan said.

Wen Yue looked at Fang Dachuan in surprise, not understanding why he was lying, but Fang Dachuan shook his head slightly at Wen Yue, signaling her not to speak.

Mrs. Li was far away just now and didn't hear their conversation clearly, so she believed Da Chuan's words deeply. She patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death. Fortunately, I was only targeted by him. Da Chuan, he You won’t talk nonsense when you go out, right?”

Seeing his mother's pale face up to now, Fang Dachuan knew that this time she was frightened again, so he quickly shook his head and said, "No, don't worry, he is a rascal, and I'm afraid of being beaten this time." I dare not."

Mrs. Zhao said on the side: "Then what do you mean when you said that your wife is molesting?"

"Oh." Fang Dachuan paused and said, "When he was in the city, he came out of a businessman's house. I saw a woman escorting him off at the door, so I threatened him with this."

Seeing Fang Dachuan fooling Zhao's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law without changing his expression, Wen Yue would really applaud him in her heart if she still didn't understand why he did this.

After listening to Fang Dachuan's explanation, Mrs. Zhao let go of her doubts, and said to them: "That's all right, don't stand outside anymore, go back to the room and talk if you have anything to say."

After finishing speaking, she walked into her room with her legs open. Seeing that Wen Yue was about to follow, Fang Dachuan hurriedly took Wen Yue's hand and said to Mrs. Li: "Mom, my clothes are dirty from fighting, Yue'e and I will go back to the house and change our clothes, and we will come right away."

The hand that Fang Dachuan pulled happened to be the one that Wen Yue felt pricked. After he pulled it rashly, he pulled it out reflexively with a slight tingling pain. Fang Dachuan was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look She looked at Wen Yue and said, "Let's go."

After entering the house, Wen Yue found clothes for Fang Dachuan from the broken cabinet with one foot propped up by a stone, and Fang Dachuan said while changing the clothes: "Don't forget what happened today, if grandma If they know what happened, they might scold you. So no matter what they ask for a while, you will follow what I said, you know?"

Only then did Wen Yue understand that Fang Dachuan concealed things from Mrs. Zhao to protect her. Thinking about it, if feudal parents like Mrs. Zhao knew that she was molested by a strange man at home, even if it wasn't her fault, it would probably be her fault. Can't escape scolding.Wen Yue was a little moved by Fang Dachuan's carefulness, she smiled and said, "Thank you."

Fang Dachuan froze again, as if he was not used to Wen Yue's smile, he nodded indiscriminately.Picking up the money bag that Wen Yue took out from his body when changing clothes, he opened it and dropped two silver ingots that Wen Yue had only seen on TV before, and a few pieces of silver. In the close-fitting clothes, he took out a bunch of copper plates wrapped with hemp rope, and gathered the money into a pile.

Before he went to sell the bear, he was still worried, because he came out in a hurry, and the bear might not be easy to sell if it hadn't been dismantled.He thought about going to the pharmacy to take out the bear bile and sell it first, but it happened that the owner of the pharmacy was there, and seeing him pushing a whole bear to sell, he said that he wanted everything.The owner was also rich, and Xiong Naren, who he thought could sell for 20 taels, actually offered 30 taels.

He was happy in his heart, and hurried home after receiving the money, he never expected to see such a scene as soon as he entered the yard, his daughter-in-law, who was always like Miss Jiao, beat a man with a stick.Could it be said that if a person loses his memory, his personality will change?When he heard Mrs. Zhao and the others yesterday, he still didn't believe it, but today he really believed it.

Fang Dachuan looked at Wen Yue who was still standing there, and said with a smile: "This is the money for selling bears, a total of 30 taels." Then, he stuffed one of the small ingots into Wen Yue's hand and said: " You keep the 5 taels for your own use. I will take the rest to grandma in a while, remember that I only sold 25 taels of silver, so don’t talk about it.”

Wen Yue looked at the money in her hand, and then at Fang Dachuan, and felt that the money was a bit hot: "It's better not to, let's give this to grandma together."

Fang Dachuan pushed Wen Yue's hand over again, and said, "Take it, you are pregnant now, and you can buy something yourself if you want to eat. It's not that I'm unfilial, it's just that grandma and mother are getting older, so they spend money on it. Be a little careful, I'm afraid you will be wronged then. Be obedient and put it away. "

Wen Yue wanted to say more, but she heard Mrs. Li shouting in the yard: "Da Chuan, haven't you cleaned up yet? Come here when you're done."

"Hey, come!" Fang Dachuan replied loudly, and then said to Wen Yue: "Let's go, let's go over."

When Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li saw the silver in front of their eyes, they both remained silent for a long time. Mrs. Zhao touched the largest ingot of 20 taels of silver with trembling hands, and finally said, "Okay." Ah, well, with this money, we will have something to look forward to this year, buy seeds, buy farm tools, and our family will live a good life here."

Mrs. Li was so excited that she burst into tears. Mrs. Zhao glared at her and said, "Why are you crying? You wipe your tears away all day long. How many times have I told you that you are the only one who cries like that? Oh my god!" You cried away all your blessings."

Mrs. Li didn't care about being scolded by Mrs. Zhao, but said in a low voice, "I don't know if Dachuan's father is still alive now, and whether he has suffered hardships outside."

Mrs. Li's words silenced the originally happy atmosphere in the room, and finally Mrs. Zhao said first: "Don't think so much, I believe he is still alive, the family's money is on him, he won't It's not a good life. Just wait at ease, he will come to us."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhao piled up all the money and pushed it in front of Fang Dachuan, saying, "Dachuan, you keep this money. Your father is gone. From now on, you will be in charge of the house."

After hearing this, Fang Dachuan kept shaking his head and said, "How can I do that, grandma, with you at home, how can I manage money well."

"Why can't I manage it?" Zhao said unhappily: "Grandma is getting old, your mother has such a temperament that she doesn't care about anything at all, and you two will take care of everything in the house from now on? We just arrived at this place. There are so many places that need money, how can I ask grandma for every penny! Besides, grandma is too old-fashioned. When we left, you said that you would take the savings at home with your father alone. Half, I didn't agree, but he disappeared with dozens of taels of silver alone. We became the most miserable family in the village. You almost died because of lack of money. I blame me for this matter. .”

Mrs. Li also chimed in and said, "You can take it if you let me. You are the only man in our family. Whoever you don't want to be in this family will be the one."

Fang Dachuan didn't refuse any more, and took all the money back, but left the hanging copper plate on the kang; "Mother, grandma, now we have money in our hands. Although it is not much, I can still buy it in the future." Earn it again. You keep these coins for pocket money, don’t be reluctant.”

Mrs. Zhao was not polite either, and smiled and took the hanging money into her hand and said, "Okay, grandma knows, and will look at the flowers with your mother. You should go out and inquire about it these few days, and buy farm tools and so on. Be careful when spending money, don’t reveal your wealth, we are newcomers, be careful not to be missed.”

"Well, grandma, don't worry."

Although they have money, for this family with little wealth, they still dare not spend it casually.In order to make the most of the money in their hands and save more, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li studied carefully for a long time there, and just said that it was not a big deal to buy something, but then changed their minds and said no.Just like that, seeing that the sun was about to sink to the west, the two of them actually only decided to buy some food and come back.

In the end, Fang Dachuan couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Well, mother, grandma, you two don't need to forget, let's keep the 20 taels, and the rest is the money at home. Yue'e and I weigh it to go home. Buy it, okay?"

Mrs. Zhao chuckled, nodded and said: "It's such a reason, I have already agreed to let you take charge of the house, but your mother and I have been worrying about it again. You decide, you decide, but there is one thing."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Wen Yue, her eyes finally fell on her stomach and said: "I have to buy something for your daughter-in-law to make up for it. I can't save this money."

From the first day Wen Yue came to this world, she has received love from everyone in the family. Even though her mother-in-law is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, even though her grandma often speaks bad words, she really cares for her from the bottom of her heart. Dachuan, this careful and responsible little man, also made her no longer full of uneasiness in her current life.Looking at these people in front of her, Wen Yue suddenly has more confidence in her future life, maybe she can really find the life she has always wanted in this world.

Just when she was immersed in her own world, she heard someone outside the house shouting loudly: "Is there someone at home, Aunt Zhao, Mother Da Chuan, are you at home?"

Mrs. Li glanced at Mrs. Zhao and said, "It's the fourth sister-in-law of the Sun family."

Mrs. Zhao looked at her impatiently and said, "Look what I am doing, go out to meet her, ouch, my whole life."

Knowing that her mother-in-law disliked her again, Mrs. Li smiled uncomfortably, got up and went out. After a while, Mrs. Li brought a woman into the house.Wen Yue took a closer look, but it was the second woman she saw after opening her eyes that day, and she was also the woman who had been helping them face the attacks of others.

After entering the room, she looked at Fang Dachuan, with a trace of relief in her eyes, and held Li's hand and said, "Sister, it's good for the child to come back, it's good to be back, as soon as I hear that Dachuan is back at home, Running over in a hurry, this is a good thing, a good thing."

She talked a lot like a cannonball, and was forced by Li Shi to sit on the kang, and said to Zhao Shi: "Auntie, Chuanzi is a person with great fortune and destiny, and will have great fortune in the future."

Seeing them chatting together, Wen Yue turned around and went out to pour water for her. Seeing Wen Yue went out, Mrs. Sun asked in a low voice to Mrs. Li, "Isn't he alright?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, sighed and said, "No, everything else is fine, but I don't recognize anyone."

"It's good that people are fine, just get to know them again if you don't recognize them." Sun Sisao comforted Mrs. Li, then looked at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Auntie, I came here today because I heard that Chuanzi was back, and I was happy to come and see; The second is that tomorrow our families want to make an appointment to go to the town together, and now that we have settled down, it is time for us to buy seeds and farm tools."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao nodded repeatedly and said, "But let's just say, the land will be planted soon, so we should prepare early."

After receiving the water from Wen Yue, Aunt Sun smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow. I don't know if there are any people in the back who can be assigned to a village with us."

Mrs. Sun's words made everyone in the house silent again. This relocation was not just a matter of the Fang Dachuan family's village, but almost [-] or so villages in that area. When they moved to the new village, Baotuan had a quarrel with the original villagers, so when they were on the road, they were disturbed and interspersed with people from other villages, and finally scattered to these villages.

Although it was broken up, the robbery on the road disturbed the hearts of the officers and soldiers and made those separated families secretly reunite, so when the branch arrived at Zhoujia Village, there were seven or eight households belonging to Dachuan Their former village.However, Wen Yue thought that she was being bullied that day, and only Mrs. Sun Sisao came forward to help their family. It can be seen that although they are in the same village, those families should be relatively cold.
