from widow to dame

Chapter 2

Pi scolded: "Our whole family only has that small jar of rice, which is reserved for Bao'er and Liulang to eat, what do you want to do?"

"Then what shall we eat?" Lin Yuyan asked with a frown as she touched the back of her already swollen hands.

Pi took a few steps forward cursing, took out a sack from the corner of the north wall, pointed into it and said, "All the food is here, cook quickly, and don't even check what time it is!"

Lin Yuyan looked forward and saw that the sack was full of brown rice, she couldn't help frowning even more, but she also knew that now was not the time to be squeamish, if she didn't make a move, the tiger woman behind her might get mad again.The situation was stronger than people, so Lin Yuyan could only bear with it secretly.Wash the rice, put the water in the pot, but encounter a problem, she can't light the fire.Seeing this, Mrs. Pi beat and scolded again, constantly saying that Lin Yuyan is useless and not worth two taels of silver at all.

Finally, a pot of gruel was cooked, and under Pi Shi's aggressive gaze, Lin Yuyan scrambled two more eggs and a large plate of eggplant.When she finally finished these things in a hurry, gradually, people came to eat one by one.The first one to arrive was Pi's eldest son and the eldest son of the family, Wang Dalang. He was a dark-skinned man with an honest face and looked like a farmer.Behind him was a woman with a child in her arms. He saw that she was thick and muscular, and she looked a little scary, without the appearance that a woman should have.

"Bao'er is here, let grandma give you a hug." Seeing the child, Mrs. Pi immediately burst into a smile.The woman, Wang Dalang's wife, Tian Shi, handed the child over, but said: "Mother, Bao'er cried all night last night."

Pete asked in surprise, "Why?"

Na Tian rolled his eyes and said: "It's not that there is no milk, mother, the food that has just given birth is full of oil and water, but look at me, it is either brown rice or coarse grains every day, and there is no oil at all. Xing'er, how can this milk come down, it is my son who suffers in the end!" After speaking, he touched his eyes pretendingly.

"Fart! My mother sees you as greedy, so I use Bao'er as a raft." Mrs. Pi took a sip, and cursed with wide-eyed eyes.

Tian seems to be very used to being scolded by her mother-in-law. After hearing this, she didn't care. Instead, she sat down at the dining table, picked up the chopsticks, and stretched towards the plate of eggs. The eggs had already fallen into her stomach.

"The one who suffered a thousand knives is reserved for Liu Lang." Mrs. Pi was about to raise his hand to beat him in despair.

Mrs. Tian wiped the oil stains on her mouth, and retorted loudly: "Mother only loves Liulang, but not Bao'er? That's the eldest grandson of your Wang family. If I eat it now, it's like giving it to him. "

Lin Yuyan looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were arguing over a plate of eggs, and raised her brows amusedly.While watching with relish, someone came in again.This time it was a young girl of fourteen to sixty-six, she was dressed in a light blue coarse cloth, her facial features were pretty good, but her neck was a bit too long, which seemed uncoordinated, but she still kept her head up, with a coquettish look. Miss, with her nostrils upturned.

"What's the noise in the early morning?" The girl glared at Mrs. Tian as soon as she entered the door, and yawned as if she hadn't woken up. It came out and buckled the egg that was only half left.Seeing this girl, she mumbled angrily twice: "Partial."

Not long after that, Wang Liulang, who was full of anger, also came in disheveled.

After watching the "drama" all morning, Lin Yuyan probably figured out who was in this family.

The old mother, Pi Shi, her husband is dead, and she has six children under her knees.They are Wang Dalang, Wang Erlang, Wang Sanniang, Wang Silang, Wang Wuniang and Wang Liulang.Among them, Wang Dalang married his wife Tian Shi and gave birth to a son Wang Baoer.And that Wang Erlang is said to be studying in the town now, and Wang Sanniang is not at home, but he is already married. As for that Wang Silang, he is the husband in name of this body. He is a person with poor health. He died before he married his wife. , and the other one is Wang Liulang, who is full of vigor.

The whole family is like a war, you earn and eat breakfast.

The girl Wang Wuniang held the Fang Xiaopa and pursed her lips lightly, glanced up and down at Lin Yuyan, and snorted coldly with disdain: "It's really as ugly as the rumors say!"

"Nonsense!" Wang Liulang spat out the toothpick in his mouth, and said maliciously: "If she didn't grow up like this, how could she be willing to marry a dead man!"

"Enough!" Mentioning the fourth son who had passed away, Mrs. Pi felt uncomfortable. She stood up abruptly, staring at her eyes and said, "Have you finished eating? After eating, you should do whatever you want, don't eat." I'm in the way of my mother's eyes here."

Mrs. Tian was the first to stand up when she heard this, snatched her son from the mother-in-law, and said with a "loving mother" look on her face: "Good baby, mother will feed you right away!" It was as if the back of his butt was on fire, and he ran outside in a few steps.

"What a lazy bastard!" Wang Wuniang stood up, poohed with disdain, then turned her head to Pi's and said, "Mom, I still have a handkerchief unfinished, so I won't come here to eat at noon. , you let her—" Nodding Lin Yuyan with her sharp chin: "Send me directly to my room!"

Seeing that she was about to leave, Wang and Lang behind him stood up and rushed out like a monkey.

"Liulang, why are you going? It's so hot, so stay at home."

"Oh, mother, Qian Si and the others are waiting for me at the head of the village." Wang Liulang pulled Pi Shi's hand away, and ran away in a few seconds.

The angry Pi scolded: "You are playing with those dubious people again, you will suffer sooner or later."

"Mother, I'll go too." Wang Dalang, who was left at the end, stood up silently, and picked up the farm tools standing by the door.

"Hurry up, hurry up, and keep an eye on those two long-term workers, they are both lazy and don't move without whipping."

In a blink of an eye, only Pi and Lin Yuyan were left in the kitchen.

Needless to say, Lin Yuyan went to wash the dishes automatically.

"The old four's family" Pi said angrily: "The pigs outside are barking, hurry up and feed them."

There was no other way, Lin Yuyan had no choice but to walk out of the yard, looking at the two big pigs that kept screaming at her in the dirty and smelly pigsty, Lin Yuyan backed up a few steps in shock.However, Pi Shi stood at the door and watched, she had to do it if she didn't want to.The feed for the pigs was made by mixing a plant called sweet potato vine with rice leaves. Lin Yuyan unwrapped the bundles of sweet potato vine and spread them on the ground, then took a guillotine and began to chop them up.There were many barbs on the vine, and after a while, Lin Yuyan's hands became dripping with blood. Waves of piercing pain hit her nerves, but she was all stiffened by gritting her teeth.Pulling a corn leaf and wrapping it around her hand, Lin Yuyan worked hard.It took about an hour, and finally chopped enough a bucket, and finally fed the two pigs, Pi Shi found her a job again.

"You're so clumsy, you're dawdling to death!" Mrs. Pi scolded angrily, "It takes so long to feed a pig, my two taels of money are wasted."

Looking at the stinky clothes piled up in front of her, Lin Yuyan's small face was really ugly.

"Hurry up and wash it, what are you doing here with the pestle?" Pi Shi slapped Lin Yuyan on the back and said cursingly, "Old Wang's family doesn't support people who eat nothing. Hurry up and work!"

Lin Yuyan turned her head and took a deep look at Eyelid Shi, took a deep breath, she washed it!

To wash clothes, you have to fetch water first. Fortunately, the Wang family has a well in the backyard. Lin Yuyan spent a lot of effort and managed to shake a bucket up. Thank you for her body that is used to doing farm work. If it was placed in the body of the official lady from the previous life, she might not even be able to lift a wooden barrel. After panting for a while, Lin Yuyan staggered to go back, but when she saw the reflection of the wooden barrel on the water surface, she shuddered slightly. stunned.

Hesitantly, she raised her hand and touched her face, the reflection in the water made the same movement, this person is really herself!

Lin Yuyan smiled wryly, and finally understood why Wang Wuniang and Wang Liulang despised her so much, because they were so ugly!
Then I saw the person in the water, thin and short, thick and black all over, which is not a big deal, the most unbelievable thing is the huge red spot on her face, which is imprinted in the center of the face hall in such a majestic way, which makes people feel uncomfortable. She looks as ugly as a dominatrix in Strange Tales.

But most women pay attention to their appearance, even if they are as calm as Lin Yuyan, it has been a long time since they suddenly saw themselves transforming from a beautiful woman into this ghostly appearance.

The blazing sun was hanging high above her head, and there was not even a trace of breeze around her. Lin Yuyan's face was involuntarily dripping with hot sweat. After an unknown period of time, she suddenly woke up. With her current situation, would she be able to go smoothly? Survival is unknown, what's the use of thinking about those extra things.

For a whole day, Lin Yuyan had no free time at all, and was ordered around by Mrs. Pi like a slave.

By the time the basin of dirty clothes was finally washed clean, it was already the climax of the moon, and it was time for every household to close their doors and go to sleep.

Walking to the door in the dark, Lin Yuyan raised her hands that were numb from pain and patted the door vigorously.

Not long after, the lights came on inside, and Pi Shi opened the door with a dark complexion on his body.

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you running around knocking, looking for smoke!"

Faced with Pi's scolding, Lin Yuyan said calmly, "Mother, my room doesn't even have a bed, and I can't sleep at all. Can you change me?"

"Why can't I live here? Isn't Lao Qi..." Pi Shi was halfway through speaking, but suddenly remembered something and showed a look of disgust, and then said impatiently, "We only have these few houses in our house, how can I change them for you?" !"
