from widow to dame

Chapter 7

There is a small river in the northwest of the entrance of Wangjiaao Village. Every afternoon, you can see many women gathering there to wash clothes or wash baskets. can be heard.

"Yo, it's Hui Niang who's here. I'm almost done washing here."

Lin Yuyan from the previous life and Su Huiniang from the current life heard the words, and cried out crisply, and walked towards the woman with the wooden basin in her hand.The woman had a chubby face and a thick body, Su Huiniang smiled and called out: "Third Aunt."

Because of Su Huiniang's ugly appearance, it inevitably attracted the attention of many people, and some unpleasant comments began to whisper.

Su Huiniang didn't care about this at all. She put down the wooden basin in her hand, took out mallets, soap horns, etc., soaked the dirty clothes in water, put them on the pebbles, and beat them carefully.Seeing Su Huiniang doing things quickly, the third aunt couldn't help but smiled and said to others: "Huiniang is not only smart but also a kind person. My kid is naughty, so he secretly went to Nanshan to play by himself, and accidentally sprained his leg. Fortunately, he met her." Huiniang of Kanzhaoteng is the one who brought my kid back step by step, and I don't even know how to thank her."

When the people around heard the words, they couldn't help feeling that Su Huiniang was indeed a good person with a kind heart. One must know that the kid from the third aunt's family weighed 56 pounds. With Su Huiniang's petite body, it was not easy to carry him back.

The people in the mountains are simple, and they quickly accepted Su Huiniang, and they started talking and laughing after a while. They found that although this woman looked ugly, she had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, which seemed to be full of sunshine. It makes people happy.Her voice is also nice, crisp and refreshing, like an oriole in the mountains, it is very comfortable to listen to.

When the women get together, it is inevitable that the parents of the east and the west will talk their tongues.Su Huiniang was washing clothes while paying attention to what they said.

"Well, it's time to pay the poll tax again in two months." At this time, a woman said with a sad face: "Our family is old and small, and the sum is more than two taels of silver. Where can I go to the house?" Get it!"

"Yes!" The third aunt next to Su Huiniang also sighed, "During the wars a few years ago, I was afraid that someone would come to lead the army. Now that peace has finally come, but I have to pay this tax and that tax. When will the lives of our common people be better!"

fight?Su Huiniang frowned slightly, Da Rui has been in good times for more than ten years, and he has never heard of any military disasters.

"You know what, this is considered a good place!" At this time, another woman said: "I heard from my aunt's nephew Di Lianqiao in the town that the current emperor is the emperor Ziwei from the sky. He led the army and drove the Tartars out of the Central Plains, and now we can have fields and silver flowers, otherwise we will be treated as pigs and dogs by the Tartars!"

After hearing this, the third aunt retorted disapprovingly: "I have lived in Wang's house for half my life, and I have never seen any tartars, but it is not uncommon to see gentlemen who come to collect taxes."

Tartars, drive out of the Central Plains?
Su Huiniang only felt the stars popping out in front of her eyes and her ears buzzing.

"Auntie..." She turned her head and asked dryly, "Your aunt's nephew, Di Lianqiao, did you tell me what the name of the current emperor is?"

"I know this!" The aunt said quickly, as if you had asked the right person, "His name is Zhou Baba...Why do you think the emperor got such a name? He might as well be Zhou Baba!"

"Hahaha……"

Zhou Baba, also known as Zhou Zhongguo, was a poor man of the third generation or above, and Su Huiniang thought dizzily that the whole world belonged to their family.

It turned out that I was neither a reincarnation nor a rebirth possessed by a reincarnation, but, but... back to the time when Darui was first built more than 60 years ago?

"Huiniang, why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling unwell?" Third Aunt looked at Su Huiniang, who was on the verge of falling, and asked with concern.

"Nothing!" She replied bitterly, "Probably because of the sun!"

After absent-mindedly washing the clothes, Su Huiniang started walking back with the tub in her arms.

"Why did you come back? It takes such a long time to wash clothes, are you going to be lazy!" As soon as he entered the door, Pi Shi began to accuse his nose not his nose, his face not his face.Su Huiniang had just finished being shocked, and she was "listening" at this moment, and didn't have time to pay attention to her, so she hung the washed clothes in the yard by herself, and then began to sit in front of the stove and prepare to light a fire for cooking.Pi Shi saw her sitting there stupidly, cursing dirtyly for a while, then turned and left.

What has actually happened?Su Huiniang looked at the small flames that kept scurrying in the stove, and fell into a deep confusion.Who is she?Is it Lin Yuyan, the wife of the Hou Mansion...or Su Huiniang, a poor widowed girl...

Just as he was wandering in the sky and thinking wildly, suddenly, a woman's fierce yelling and cursing erupted outside.Su Huiniang was taken aback, frowned, stood up and looked out from the door.

In the middle of the courtyard, Mrs. Pi was pulling her hair and beating Mrs. Tian violently.

While beating, he scolded: "You shameless, you only care about yourself. Why do you sleep in the middle of the day? My precious grandson fell off the kang and cried for so long. You are good, snoring loudly , you cold-blooded woman, you are still not his mother."

"Don't hit it, don't hit it, it's my fault." Tian's clothes are disheveled, his face is still blurred with eyeballs, and he can tell that he was dragged out of a dream.She cried and cried: "Mother, I coaxed Bao'er all night last night, so I just took a moment to squat today, who would have thought that Bao'er would fall off the kang in such a short time. "

"Fart, your room is next to my old lady. If Bao'er cries all night, how can I not hear you? You are a lazy thing, you don't work all day, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, my Dalang is wrong It took eight lifetimes of blood mold to marry your aunt."

Tian's hair was pulled, beaten and scolded for a long time before her mother-in-law spared her.

"From now on, Bao'er will be under my care, and you will work for me every day, if you become lazy again, I will let Dalang divorce you!"

Tian Shi was taken aback by this sentence, forced himself to suppress the resentment on his face, and answered yes firmly.

At this moment, Wang Wuniang came out of Tian's house holding the crying Wang Bao'er in her arms. She glanced at the sister-in-law who had fallen to the ground, snorted coldly with extreme disdain, then frowned, and said to Pi: " Mother, come and see Bao'er, why is he crying all the time?"

Hearing the cry of the eldest grandson, Tian hurriedly carried the child over as if his heart had been chopped off.

"Oh, why did you get such a big bag!" Mrs. Pi touched Wang Bao'er's head and exclaimed.

"I fell!" Wang Wuniang glanced at Tian who was on the ground, and said bitterly, "This woman must have pushed Bao'er down while sleeping."

When Pi heard this, she became even more furious, angry and hated in her heart, stepped forward a few steps, raised her leg, and kicked Tian's body several times.

"Oh, mother, don't hit me now, find a doctor and show Bao'er, if you fall stupid, what can you do!" Tian yelled with snot and tears.

After hearing this, Mrs. Pi immediately pulled his neck and shouted: "Father of the fourth family, come out quickly."

Su Huiniang frowned, and walked out from the kitchen.

"Mom, what's the matter?" She asked with a look of confusion.

"Hurry up and invite Yu Langzhong to treat Bao'er."

Su Huiniang raised her head and looked at the crying baby in Yanpi's arms, she couldn't care less about watching the show right now, she nodded and ran outside
The doctor Yu said he was the doctor, but he was actually a barefoot doctor who knew how to feel the pulse and could prescribe some earthwork. Anyone in the nearby villages would go to him if they had a headache, but unfortunately, when Su Huiniang went, Doctor Yu happened to be there. go out.She could only wait there until it was dark before bringing him back.

"Well, there is some blood in the back of the child's head, but it didn't hit the acupuncture point, so it shouldn't be a big deal." Lang Zhong stroked the white beard on his chin, and said to Pi Shi, "I'll prescribe a decoction later. The child is fed."

Pishi nodded vigorously after hearing this, and kept saying words of thanks.

"The child is young, so you have to watch it closely. If you bump it, it's a fatal thing."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Wang Dalang, who had just returned home after playing the game, gave his wife who was choked with a hard look, turned his head to Pi and said, "Mother, quickly get some for Doctor Yu." The doctor’s money!”

Hearing this, Pi's face showed hesitation, and after a while, he put the child in his arms on the kang, reached out and took out a blue cloth from his arms, turned around and fiddled with it for a long time before taking it out. When Dr. Yu saw ten large sums of money, his eyes could not help but express his displeasure.Wang Dalang walked over quickly, and didn't know what he said to Mrs. Pi, so he asked the other party to add another five big money.

Doctor Yu didn't say anything, took the money, left a prescription, and was about to walk out.

Wang Dalang hurried forward and pulled his sleeve.

"Doctor, our family members are illiterate, tell me, what is written on it?"

Dr. Yu held the list and spoke out the names of more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials in one breath.

"Well, I don't have many of these, you have to go to the town to buy them. Try to hurry up, don't delay the child's illness, if there is any stupidity, it will be bad."

Su Huiniang could see clearly from the side, Doctor Yu clearly felt that Pi's money was too little, so he was mobilizing them.

"Mother, hurry up and find a way to get medicine for our Bao'er." Tian screamed with snot and tears: "Bao'er will honor the old Wang's family in the future, so don't be stupid!"

"I want you to fart!" Pishi spat on her face, and said angrily, "It's dark now, and there is no carriage to the town. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
