take a wife to support the family

Chapter 221

After teaching a few hired workers how to steam toilet water, Lily still taught Xinger and Yingchun to settle accounts at home every day, or went out to watch the hired workers work, telling them not to stay in the sun all the time and drink more water.

Inevitably, I went to cook mung bean soup and sour plum soup, Song Ermei said: "I've never seen you so generous, I'm afraid I don't have enough money?"

Lily said: "The folks in the village, who is more noble than the other? Besides, if I don't supply water like this, anyone who doesn't pay attention to it will suffer from sunstroke, and it will be troublesome."

She is a highly educated woman. In this era, it is natural to use her hands to fight for her own small life, but if she is determined to be a master, not to treat others as a human being, and to step on others' heads to show her strength, Isn't it vain to study for so many years?

Second Sister Song just said a few words for nothing, Lily is willing to be so generous, she also benefited, turned around and said to a few others: "As long as you work hard, don't steal and play tricks, and you will never treat others badly."

Song Haonian didn't spend much time at home these two days, but went to Liu's house to seek justice for Yingchun.As soon as Yingchun hanged herself, the incident made a big fuss, even the villagers were alarmed.

The Li family in Liushan Village is not considered a big family, Song Haonian and Liu Yi are both son-in-laws of the Li family, so they are the ones to come forward and discuss with Liu Zhong how to deal with it.

Since Yingchun hanged himself once, she is not as courageous as before, and her quick-wittedness is not as good as before, but she is a bit like Li Daniu and Lamei in the past.If there were only Baihe and Xing'er at home, she would still be more lively, occasionally joking, but if Song Haonian was at home, she would never show a smile again.

Seeing outsiders became a very scary thing for her. Lily saw it clearly. She had to stand in the room for half a day before she dared to take a step to go to the kitchen to eat with Song Ermei, and she always avoided Song Ermei when she talked. Eye.

Second Sister Song is still an acquaintance, and she is full of sympathy for her. If it were someone else, Yingchun would die and would not see anyone. Lily couldn't resist, so she had to bring the rice to her room and tell her to eat alone.

Lily knew in her heart that going on like this was not a problem, the more she refused to see people, the more withdrawn and eccentric she would become, if it went on for a long time, Yingchun might develop a surly temper.

But the girl had just encountered a catastrophe, and she couldn't be in a hurry, so she had to slowly relieve her.Anyway, Yingchun hasn't healed well yet, so it's important to learn two crafts while he's recuperating.

Lily has a good plan here, but she missed one thing: she never brought a letter to her mother's house, and her parents couldn't help asking people about her daughter. People come and go in the town and village every day, and there is nothing that can't be hidden. .After coming and going, the two elders of the Li family didn't know what the eldest daughter was like, but they first knew about the fact that the second girl was tricked into committing suicide, and now they are living in her eldest sister's house.

When Zhu was young, there were two things that people laughed at: one was that she married Li Zhujiang without three media and six certificates. In fact, she ran away from home and the two eloped; .

People's hearts are similar, the more they lack something, the more they value it. Mrs. Zhu has told people that she attaches great importance to women's chastity and giving birth to sons.

Back when the family was so poor, she plundered all of Song Haonian's money, and she didn't forget to ask Song Haonian to marry Lily as a daughter-in-law with three matchmakers and six certificates.After Bai got married, she had to urge her daughter to give birth to a son every few days, for no other reason, but because in her heart, only when a woman gave birth to a son can others look at her with high regard.

Now when I heard that Er Niu did such a thing, how amazing is it?Zhu was angry and hurt, and felt sad that her good second girl was cheated out of her body, and she would not be able to get married in the future, and she would not receive a bride price. If she had to marry, only those old bachelors in the deep mountains of her hometown would be willing to marry.

She had previously wanted to marry Yingchun to the town, but now that her plan was shattered, she felt pain in her heart, not only for her daughter, but also for money.

I'm also angry that the second girl doesn't know how to love herself. The most important thing for a woman's family is her reputation. If her reputation is ruined, what future will she have in the future?
After a few moments of emotional attack, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help stomping her feet and scolding: "Why didn't she hang herself? Hanging would be fine!"

If Yingchun hanged herself, she would naturally keep her old face, and she could still ask for money from Liu Zhong's family. Even if the master of Liu's mansion knew about it, he would give a few taels of silver for the burning and burial fee.

An unmarried girl in a rural area is considered to have died young and cannot enter the ancestral grave. All she has to do is find a secluded place and press the acupuncture point. Burying in a thin coffin is a sign of her parents' intentions. They can't even spend half the money, so the rest can be saved. For Qingsong?
Carpenter Li didn't know that the old woman was thinking of this, he was soft-hearted, although he was a bit uncomfortable with not wanting to take care of him because of Yingchun, now he thought that Yingchun was capable and lively in the past, and a girl sent to the town was in vain. If it is ruined, he will feel very distressed.

Hearing Mrs. Zhu's nonsense, Carpenter Li couldn't help but said: "What nonsense are you talking about! It's good that my girl is here, I don't dislike her, and I will support her in the future!"

Mrs. Zhu was taken aback, and then cursed: "That's the meat that fell from my stomach, I don't know how to love her better than you? What do you use to raise her, who eats what she eats and who drinks what, what will Qingsong do if she can't get a wife in the future?"

She was only thinking about Qingsong, when Yingchun was able to make money for the family, she loved Yingchun the most, but now it is Lily and Lamei who love Yingchun, in her eyes Yingchun is a junk that can't make money, but has to lose money.

Carpenter Li had never blushed with anyone in his life, so he said with restraint: "I'm going to the town to see Er Niu, will you go?"

"Why don't I go?" Mrs. Zhu didn't care about Yingchun at all, "You're still limping, what if you rolled into the ditch without paying attention? Er Niu is a dead girl, I have to teach her a lesson, I will give her the old face for half my life Throw it away!"

After all, the old couple are getting old. Li Zhuang was injured by a fall in the first year, and he can't walk without a walking stick. Zhu's body is not very strong. After packing up the house and locking the door, the two of them walked on the mountain road for half a day before they got full hair. Profusely went to the town and went straight to Lily's house.

Zhu Shi was still outside the door and howled loudly: "My poor second girl!"

Lily was startled, and went out to see that even the craftsman Li Bamboo had come, and hurriedly brought people into the house, "Father, mother, why are you here? I didn't ask someone to tell me first, I asked Da Nian to catch up with you." The mules will fetch you."

Mrs. Zhu said first: "When you pick us up, your sister will be bullied to death!"

Lily paused and didn't speak, but she felt that Yingchun was partly responsible for being bullied, but in the end, Yingchun was a little girl working hard in Liu's mansion, no one to take care of her, and no one to teach her, she was very angry. Gao, it's very common to go astray. She feels guilty as a big sister, so what can she do to make it up?

As soon as Yingchun heard Zhu's voice, she became pale and stiff. Seeing her appearance, Xing'er quickly pulled her to the side of the bed and sat down: "Auntie, what are you afraid of?"

Yingchun didn't say anything, she thought she was the least afraid of mother among the sisters, but now that she has fallen into a miserable situation, she realizes that she is no less afraid of mother than elder sister and younger sister.

The old couple sat in the living room and breathed a sigh of relief, then asked Lily: "Where is your sister?"

Lily pouted to the west, and the two hurried to the west room to see Yingchun.Yingchun bowed her head and said nothing, but Carpenter Li just said, "Please let my daughter be wronged, go home with my father, and I won't let you be bullied again."

Yingchun's eyes turned red, and a string of tears fell down. Before she could speak, she heard Zhu say: "Chengri's family sees you as a shrewd person. Why are you so stupid when you encounter big things? I'm so worried! According to me, You actually held onto their family and told them to marry you."

Yingchun whispered: "Their family is so ruthless, if I want to marry him, wouldn't it be a dead end?"

Mrs. Zhu stumbled and sighed: "Then your reputation is bad now, and you won't get any benefits, so you think it's all right?" She poked her finger on Yingchun's head, "Why did I give birth to you such a fool!"

It was Yingchun that made Carpenter Li's heart feel hot. Seeing his mother's appearance, it was cold again. Mumu stared blankly at the ground, neither speaking nor moving.

Lily's forehead was throbbing with veins: She managed to pull the girl back from the dead end, and this mother is driving her to death again!
She couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Mrs. Zhu: "Stop saying a few words, old man, go sit in the living room, and I'll make honey water for you to drink."

Mrs. Zhu walked the mountain road for half a day, her mouth was dry, and she went to the living room when she heard the words, and said in her mouth: "It's bad luck, I gave birth to three losers..."

"Since you are losing money, don't drink my water, don't stand in my place, go back by yourself!" Lily lowered her face, knowing that Mrs. Zhu was getting confused again, if she didn't suppress her crooked thoughts at this time, she could How many scorpion stings have been done.

Only then did Mrs. Zhu shut up, and angrily gouged out Lily's eyes. Carpenter Li felt very ashamed, and said to Lily: "Don't worry about your mother, she still hurts Erniu just by saying that. Tell Erniu to come with us." Go back and you'll be fine."

He said it lightly, but Lily couldn't believe it - there was no other reason, just because Mrs. Zhu was a complete fool, if Lily wanted to believe that she could treat Yingchun well, it was better to believe that her mother-in-law suddenly hurt herself.

But after all, Carpenter Li has a loving heart. Lily can push Zhu back, so she has to be gentle with him, and just say: "The second girl is not in good health now, you only listen to her say those few words. How dumb is it? Why don’t you raise it with me and go back home.”

As for going back and forth, she raised her sister and became addicted, so she didn't ask her to go back, and it was only logical to keep her at home to help her.

Zhu Shi was still muttering to herself, Lily said: "Mother, Erniu is suffering, please speak softly. If you talk nonsense to Erniu again, I will tell Qingsong, what do you think Qingsong said?"

The green pine is Zhu's three inches. Ask Lily to pinch three inches, and Zhu's will soften immediately.She knew that Qingsong was willing to treat her sisters with all her heart, if she knew that she had such a plan, she must be blamed.

It doesn't matter if the girl blames ten thousand words. Her old man has planned for her son all her life, but she must not ask him to blame him. Mrs. Zhu immediately turned around and said with a smile: "I'm just talking for nothing. I'm the mother of Erniu. If not towards her, who else can she be towards?"
