Prosperous Pastoral: Sweet Pet Peasant Wife

Chapter 2

In the distance, Wan looked at the mother and child hugging each other, with a gratified smile on her wrinkled face.Eldest daughter, it seems that she has opened up her heart knot and finally treats Gouwa better.So good, so good.

The mother and son hugged for a while, Han Chuxia took Gouwa's hand, and after washing off all the dirt and mud on his face and hands, she frowned and looked at the little baby's bare feet Son is quite distressed.

But Gouwa shrank his toes outward, "Mom, I'm going to put on shoes now..."

As Xiaowa said, she turned around and took out a pair of straw woven shoes.There doesn't seem to be much difference between wearing these shoes and not wearing them.Obviously, Yuan himself was so poor that he couldn't even buy a suit of clothes and shoes for his children.

"Big girl, it's time to eat."

Behind him, his mother Wan's call made Han Chuxia turn around slowly.But when she really saw the thin wild vegetable porridge that could illuminate people, her eyes dimmed again.

This family is really poor.

Two days was enough for her to figure out some of the original body's situation.

The woman in front of her is Yuan Shen's own mother.As for the man who squatted and ate outside the house and ignored her, he was her own father.

On the pit in the inner room, there was another sick and weak child lying on the bed, and on the other side of the yard, there were three maids, one half-grown boy, who were squatting around a circle of stone tables, breathing wild vegetable porridge.The expressions of enjoyment really make people suspect that they are eating the most delicious food in the world.But in fact, it was just wild vegetable porridge that was extremely difficult to swallow.

The four and a half-aged children were none other than Yuanshen's younger siblings, and the one in the room was also Yuanshen's weakest younger brother.

His mother Wan's thin face was full of sickness.This is the sickness left after giving birth to Xiao Liu.

And she is the eldest daughter who is rarely married in this family.Unfortunately, she is still a widow with a not very good reputation.

When he was 15 years old, Yuanzhen went to the city with several cousins ​​from the Han family. He never thought that after ten days in the city, Yuanzhen would slowly become pregnant when he came back.

It is very taboo in the countryside for an unmarried daughter to become pregnant.Therefore, after Wan's awareness of her daughter's abnormality, she asked the Niu family, who had been engaged to her since she was young, to come and marry her.

However, time also fate.When Niu Da came to welcome his relatives, he was about to die, but he was rolled down by a rock from the mountain and crushed to death on the spot.In this way, the bride will be a widow without getting married, and the villagers will talk about her fate non-stop.

Even though the original body was extremely beautiful and charming, she was also disgusted by her husband's family.Until, when her belly became pregnant, her in-laws became even more annoyed and wanted to drag her to Shentang on the spot.

It was the Wan shi who talked about it, and after agreeing to his own dowry, Han Chuxia got back a paper of divorce from the Niu family.

It's a pity that even if such a widow or woman with a bad reputation is brought back, the villagers don't like to see them.

Because the villagers and Han's family did not accept Han Chuxia, after being sent back to Xiaoye Village, the original body was placed in the firewood house in the deep part of the mountain in Xiaoye Village.

In the past few years, Yuanshen lived alone there with his baby, and his temper became more and more eccentric.

When you have a good temper, you can still live with the child you gave birth to.But once the temper is bad, the baby will be beaten to death.For this reason, Wan's persuasion has been repeated countless times, but it still has no effect.

This time, the reason why the original body committed suicide by jumping into the river seemed to be because after beating the baby, Wan Shi said a few words to her, and the woman jumped into the lake angrily.

After sorting out these things, Han Chuxia also drank up the bowl of wild vegetable porridge in his hand.I wanted to scoop again, but found that there was no soup left in the pot.

"Eat, eat, eat, don't work, how can there be so much spare food at home to support people." In the distance, Han Tanglin roared angrily.Although he didn't yell at Han Chuxia directly, those eyes stared at her angrily.She lowered her head and smiled helplessly. A widow and woman with a bad reputation is so despised by others because of her status in her natal family.

After cleaning the bowl, Han Chuxia saw Wan Shi walking towards her with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Big girl, it's not that mother doesn't want to keep you two, it's just that your second brother is about to say goodbye... I'm optimistic about the future, I'm afraid people will come to see your identity..."

Han Chuxia smiled and interrupted her embarrassing follow-up, "Mother, I know. I'll take Gouwa back right now. I've caused trouble for you and my father these two days."

Wan's was even more embarrassed, pursing her thick lips, "Big girl, we are also a family after all. It's just that this married woman spilled water. Even if my mother wanted to keep you, she couldn't hold back the words of someone who cared. You Second brother, because of our family’s situation, we’ve looked at several marriages, and I don’t know if it will work out this time. Your second brother can’t talk about marriage, and you can’t talk about the latter either…” The country folks, the eldest brother Speaking of dear, I can't say anything about the latter.Therefore, the marriage of the second younger brother, who was not very well-behaved, became a big problem.

As she spoke, she wiped away tears.In Han's family, she has always been a sick person. Apart from being able to bear children, she can't do other things. Now she is completely acting according to Han's father's face.As for the big girl's affairs, she simply has enough energy to spare.

Han Chuxia understood her and held her hand, "Okay mother, I know your difficulties. Don't worry, my daughter will live a good life and won't let you be so difficult in the future."

"Well, that's good, that's good. After a while, I, I'll wait for your second brother's marriage to be settled, and then bring your mother and son back." Wan Shi said, glancing around quietly again, Quickly took out a piece of sweet potato from her bosom and forced it into her bosom, "Take it quickly, this is a piece of sweet potato that I managed to dig out in the past two days, you two can barely handle it for a day if you save some food. Alas...the days are hard..."

Han Chuxia's heart trembled thinking about the piece of sweet potato weighing less than a catty in his hand.

In modern times, such a piece of sweet potato is not uncommon.But in this era of lack of food and clothing, Wan's ability to save such a piece of sweet potato shows that she really made it through these days.

After all, it is her own. Although she is married and her reputation is not very good, she still does her best to help her...

The nose was sour again, and there was hot and humid liquid in the eyes. Han Chuxia raised her head, tried to pull out a big smile, and kept telling herself that everything would pass.At the same time, he swore inwardly: If he earns money in the future, he must be good to Wan Shi.

"Good boy, mother knows how you are, and knows that you have suffered all these years. But, you will make it through this hard time. Take care of Gouwa. This kid is smart and sensible, and will be filial to you in the future."

Wan Shi wanted to give a few more instructions, but outside the house, father Han's violent roar came again.

"Prodigal girls, I asked you to feed the pigs in the house, but there is no one there yet, you sick and consumptive woman, you are still staying in the house, let me see if I don't break your legs."

As soon as Wan Shi heard the rude roar, his whole body trembled with fright, and he quickly turned around and ran outside. "Big girl, mother won't send you off, you just have to live your own life."

Watching her mother flee in panic, the older girl turned around, led the thin little baby by the hand, and worried about all her belongings - a piece of sweet potato.

In this way, Han Chuxia returned from her mother's house to her small nest, the dilapidated house at the foot of Xiaoye Mountain...

Seeing that the room was leaking from all sides, a few logs were randomly erected in the room, and some weeds were laid out to serve as a bed, Han Chuxia strongly suspected that even the beggar's temple would be much better than this.

Just when she was disheartened and didn't know what to do next, a weak voice sounded behind her, "Is it... a bitch?"

Standing behind him was an old woman with white hair.

When she saw Han Chuxia, there was a little smile on her wrinkled face, "It's really a big girl. Just come back, just come back."

When Gouwa saw the old woman, his face was full of excitement, even more joyful than when he saw Han Chuxia wake up.

He ran two steps forward, "Grandma Liu."

"Yeah, Gouwa can come back to accompany grandma again."

Unfortunately, this body didn't accept the memory of her previous life, so she didn't know who this old woman was.However, when he saw a small courtyard with a wall not far away, he understood that this was his neighbor.In fact, this woman surnamed Liu is really a neighbor here.

They are also the only two families in this desolate land.

After chatting with Mrs. Liu for a while, Han Chuxia managed to understand Yuan's situation here.Mrs. Liu seems to be an orphan in the village. Because the land and property in the village were occupied by her nephew, she had to move to live at the foot of the mountain in Yezi Village, which is a little far away from the village.

When the winter and early summer came five years ago, the two families became neighbors.

During the five years here, if Granny Liu hadn't taken care of her, Gouwa might have been brutally beaten to death by the insane Yuanchen long ago.

After knowing this, Han Chuxia was silent again.

It seems that the previous one was really a bit of a douchebag, but this time he completely doomed himself.

"Auntie, Gouwa will be placed with you for the time being, please help take care of it. I'll go around here and see if I can find something to eat."

Granny Liu looked at her with complicated eyes, and nodded heavily, "That's fine."
