Chapter 54

Ji Zhennuo lamented, what a naive and silly woman, who regards love as everything.

The stories that happened to this official daughter are very vulgar. There are many story books and operas. Those stories are about the daughter and the scholar happily together, but that only exists in YY!

The story that this daughter met is the reality.

Ji Zhennuo touched his forehead, this body has a fever, it should be sick.

For her memory, she has to embroider day and night to be able to barely afford the expenses of the whole family. If she has no money, the scholar will beat and scold her.

This Yu Mingxiu is really a bun character.

Just when Ji Zhennuo was still dizzy, a rough female voice sounded outside: "Yu Mingxiu, you lazy woman! Why are you being lazy again? Is it because my mother cooks and washes for you every day to make you lazy?! If you don't embroider that piece of cloth tomorrow, you won't eat for three days!"

This is Yu Mingxiu's mother-in-law, You Shi, a very tall and strong woman who looks down on Yu Mingxiu, who is so soft and weak that men pity her, so after she came here, she tried to torture her, but the whole family The income depends on Yu Mingxiu, and he dare not really kill Yu Mingxiu.

Ji Zhennuo felt that Yu Mingxiu was really hopeless, as the breadwinner of the whole family was bullied by the mother and son.

Ji Zhennuo stood up, staggered out of the door, and said, "Ma'am, I've been embroidering for a while, and my eyes are blurred. I'm going out to get some air. There's no water at home, right? I'll go get some water back."

Seeing Yu Mingxiu being so sensible, You Shi snorted and said, "With your body, it's fine if you don't fall into the well."

But he still stuffed the barrel into Ji Zhennuo's hand.

Ji Zhennuo just felt his hands sinking, the barrels are really heavy these days.

In ancient times, it was not easy to dig a well, so the smaller villages only had one well, and the larger ones had two or three wells. Some were really poor, and they drew water directly from rivers and streams.There is a common well in this village, and everyone goes there to draw water.

The wooden barrel is not as light as a plastic barrel, and its capacity is also small. Yu Mingxiu's body is thin and weak, and he doesn't eat much at ordinary times. Already out of breath.

There were a few tall and thick women drawing water by the well. When they saw Yu Mingxiu coming over, they greeted her, "Mingxiu, why are you here to fetch water?"

Ji Zhennuo smiled, looking weak and helpless, as if she was trying to hide her sadness, and said: "My mother-in-law is busy, I have to help."

Everyone knew that Yu Mingxiu's mother-in-law, You Shi, was not the same person, so they didn't ask any further questions.But they exchanged a few expressions that you know and know.

For You's family, everyone in the village thought it was strange that Zhu Zheng, a talented scholar, didn't pass the imperial examination despite his eloquence. They also said it was because of bad luck, but everyone still respected him as a scholar.You Shi is not easy to bully at first glance, only Yu Mingxiu, when she first came, she was delicate and timid, and her clothes were also very good, she looked like a young lady, but after a long time, she was worse than them up.Everyone wondered what happened to the Zhu family, but when Youshi came, he blatantly said that Yu Mingxiu was too lazy to be filial to his mother-in-law, but everyone knew that Yu Mingxiu had been embroidering at home all the time, and what Youshi sold was Yu Mingxiu's embroidery , if Yu Mingxiu was lazy, how could he embroider so much?
It's just that everyone is talking about it behind their backs, and they won't say it in the open.

"Come, sister Mingxiu, I'll get you some water."

An aunt with a round figure took Yu Mingxiu's bucket and helped her hang it on the hook, then put the bucket down, and after a while, it was pulled up and filled with clear water.

Ji Zhennuo was amazed, this arm strength is really unreal.

After bringing it up, an aunt even said to help Ji Zhennuo bring it back, seeing her thin body, I'm afraid she won't be able to take it back for a long time.

Ji Zhennuo smiled and refused, if she didn't bring it back by herself, how could she continue to act?
But after this incident, she also understood that the people here are simple and honest, and if she encounters any injustice in the future, she believes that they can still help her.

Walking on the road, the aunt saw Ji Zhennuo dangling with a bucket of water, half of the bucket was shaken away within a few steps, and she offered to help, Ji Zhennuo wiped off her sweat, and said: "Thank you, auntie, no I'm sorry to ask you to help again, but it won't be good for my mother-in-law to see later."

How bad it is depends on how the individual understands it.

Hearing what Ji Zhennuo said, that person also knew that she was having a difficult time, and said: "Then you go slowly, I will follow you, if there is not enough, I will give you some."

She was still afraid that Ji Zhennuo would be punished if she went back.

Talking and laughing all the way to the door of the house, this aunt's impression of Ji Zhennuo has also changed a little bit, this little daughter-in-law has not given birth to a child for a few years, but she is reasonable and can speak, and she can't be blamed for not having a child. After being tortured like this, it is strange to be able to give birth to a child.

Youshi waited at the door, looking at Ji Zhennuo with a gloomy expression.
