from widow to dame

Chapter 9

Looking at the wolf-eating child in front of her, Su Huiniang couldn't help but feel pity flashing across her eyes. A child of this age should be at the knees of his parents and carefree, but he has a home rather than no home. Nuan, now he doesn't even have a place to live.

"Slow down!" Su Huiniang said with a smile, "Don't choke."

Wang Qilang didn't care about it, he had a vicious vigor when he ate, as if he was afraid that others would steal it from him.

After a while, he swallowed five meat buns. Su Huiniang asked him if he was full?
Wang Qilang nodded.

"Hey, here are a few shortbreads, you keep them for yourself, when you're hungry tomorrow..."

Without waiting for Su Huiniang to finish speaking, Wang Qilang took the shortbread and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing the choking child with a flushed face but still persistently swallowing the pancakes,

Su Huiniang asked a little dumbfounded, "Didn't you say you were full?"

Those are five big buns, no matter how hungry you are, you should be full.

"If you don't eat...you will be snatched away..." the child said with a blank expression while swallowing.

For some reason, when Su Huiniang heard these words, she suddenly felt soft in her heart. She couldn't help but raised her hand and stroked the child's bristles.

Wang Qilang froze, and just when Su Huiniang thought he would knock off her hand, the child muttered something that others couldn't understand, and the speed of chewing was even faster.

"If you are hungry in the future, come to me." Su Huiniang said softly, "But you have to be careful, don't let anyone catch you."

Wang Qilang snorted disdainfully, to the effect that with their idiots, how could they possibly catch my young master.

Because there was a child, it was inconvenient for Su Huiniang to enter the space. Later, she extinguished the candles and fell asleep. Of course, she slept on a simple wooden bed, and Wang Qilang slept on a pile of firewood in the corner of the room.

At dawn the next day, Su Huiniang opened her eyes and found that Wang Qilang had already left. Taking advantage of this time, she hurried into the space, soaked in a hot spring, washed away her exhaustion, and felt refreshed again.

Holding the newly purchased claw comb, Su Huiniang began to comb her hair carefully. If you want to say that the most beautiful part of this body is this black and beautiful hair, it seems that all the nutrients have been absorbed by these hairs All the same, they appear both lush and supple.Brushing slowly according to the spring water, gradually, Su Huiniang's mind began to drift to other places.

The Wang family is definitely not a place to stay for a long time, and Su Huiniang is well aware of this.

Mrs. Pi is tricky and mean, Mrs. Tian is lazy, Wang Wuniang is putting on airs, Wang Liulang is idle, and in the whole family, only Wang Dalang has some conscience, but he is also a gourd.

And the most important thing is their own identity, just like Pi Shi said, in their eyes, they are just maids bought for two taels of silver It is possible to kill them. They have never seen themselves as family members. If they stay here, Su Huiniang will have to be a cow to this family for the rest of their lives.

How can this be allowed?

However, this matter is easy to handle. With Pi's greedy character, as long as he has enough money, he will be able to get away.

The most important thing is the way forward. Su Huiniang has no plans to leave Wang Jia'ao for the time being. If possible, she hopes to take root here.

This matter must be resolved before winter, Su Huiniang thought with a wry smile, otherwise, with the temperature of the woodshed, she would not be able to bear it.

Having said that, Mrs. Pi and the others didn't seem to be surprised about their literacy at all. Su Huiniang's face showed a thoughtful expression. The two taels of silver that she sold herself must have been left in the hands of the original owner's parents. If you contact... the hope of getting out, there will be a way out.

After thinking about a lot of miscellaneous things, Su Huiniang took her mind off for a while, and combed her beautiful hair into a simple bun, which really looked much neater.Looking down at the tattered clothes on her body, Su Huiniang decided to start making shirts as soon as she came back tonight. She was fed up with the days when she had no bellyband, no underwear, no underwear and could only hang in neutral.

Pushing open the door and going out, Su Huiniang unexpectedly found that Mrs. Tian also had to come out of the room, her eyes were red and her left cheek was bruised.

Seeing Su Huiniang looking at her, Tian snorted and ran to the kitchen. After a while, smoke started to rise from the chimney on the roof.

It seems that she has been scolded a lot, Su Huiniang thought gloatingly.

As usual, they chopped marsh vines and mixed corn leaves to feed the pigs. In the morning, they made medicine for Wang Baoer. Su Huiniang went to see it. The swelling on the child's head had begun to soften, and he didn't cry all the time.Because Mrs. Tian caused her family to lose five taels of silver for no reason, she was immediately knocked down from the sky by Mrs. Pi, completely canceling her "young mistress" rights and becoming like Su Huiniang who needs to work.It's just that she has always been a stealthy and cunning person, and all the hard and tiring work is handed over to Su Huiniang, and she actually does some face-saving work.

Time passed quietly in this busyness, and in a blink of an eye, it was autumn,

Plant a millet in spring and harvest ten thousand in autumn.

For farmers, autumn symbolizes the harvest, all their harvests in the past year, and it also symbolizes that it is time for busy farming.

In late September, we saw wheat waves rolling in the fields.The whole family, men, women, old and young, all come to harvest.They have to cut the wheat before the frost, otherwise the harvest will be affected.Naturally, the Wang family was also included. Except for Wang Wuniang who stayed at home to take care of Bao'er and even brought them food, even Wang Liulang, who had been idle all day, was forced to the ground by Tian.

Naturally, not to mention Su Huiniang.

"Oh my god, I can't do it anymore!" Tian threw away the sickle in her hand, and sat down on the mud floor with her buttocks, a large piece of wheat fell down under her buttocks. I'm exhausted!"

"Don't complain to my old lady there!" Not far away, Pi Shi raised his waist and scolded profusely, "whose family didn't come here like this, why did you get here and you were exhausted, Da Lang took you If you marry into the family, don't you just let you have babies, if so, it's better to take a pig, she can give birth to more than you, hurry up and work for my old lady, if you are lazy again, I won't kill you."

Tian Shi was really tired and hungry, he couldn't exert any strength at all, he just kicked his legs and said: "Mother, I'm hungry, why hasn't Wu Niang come over to deliver food... Huh, As long as she has a good life, she can enjoy herself at home, regardless of our life or death."

"I want you to talk." Mrs. Pi is the one who protects the calf the most. Hearing the words, he immediately choked: "My fifth mother is raised in a spoiled way. The sun is so big, what if she gets sunburned, she will marry in the future. To be a young mistress for a rich family."

Tian wanted to retort, but was stopped by her husband beside her.

"Be lazy again, stay here today, don't go home." Wang Dalang frowned and said, "Look at his younger siblings, they do twice as much work as you, and they didn't even cry out."

Hearing this, Tian couldn't help but glanced into the distance, and sure enough, Su Huiniang was ahead, far ahead.

"A few days ago, I didn't even know how to hold a sickle, how did I learn it so quickly?" Tian muttered a few words, seeing her mother-in-law and husband bluffing at her, she could only get up reluctantly, Go ahead and get to work.

After about an hour, Wang Wuniang finally came over slowly to deliver the meal.

Su Huiniang took off the straw hat on her head, and took off the wet handkerchief wrapped around her face and neck. Her throat was smoky with thirst, and she immediately started drinking with a bowl.Wang Wuniang made corn pancakes, served with pickles, and the people who ate them were choking, while Wang Liulang muttered in dissatisfaction. Su Huiniang looked funny and thought, you have been sitting under a tree enjoying the cool at noon. What kind of work to do, it's picky at this time.

After lunch, everyone started working again.Working in the field is absolutely exhausting. Su Huiniang's hands holding the sickle are now covered with thick blood calluses, and she has no feeling in her waist, but she insists on gritting her teeth and doing it.

Even if you complain about suffering and tiredness, no one will feel distressed, so why bother to make that boring again.

From sunrise to sunset, from sunset to dark, until the surrounding scene can no longer be seen, today's work is considered to be over, dragging their tired bodies, several people began to walk back.Unexpectedly, Wang Wuniang was not at home, and there was no food in the pot.

Seeing this cold pot and cold stove, even Pi Shi's complexion became sour.

Su Huiniang raised her eyebrows, sighed secretly, walked forward and started to cook without saying a word. She was so tired that she didn't have the heart to cook anything. Seeing that there were still some cornbread left on the plate in the cupboard, He simply picked some cabbage to choke the soup, broke the corn tortillas into chunks and threw them into the pot to cook.Don't put it in a bowl until it becomes sticky.

The few people whose chests were pressed against their backs immediately couldn't wait to eat, and even Su Huiniang ate three bowls before putting it down.

As soon as they finished eating, they heard the sound of the door opening, and Wang Wuniang came back humming a song with a baby on her back.

Tian put her face on the spot, and said sarcastically: "Hey, miss, are you coming back to see if we are starving to death?"

"Wu Niang, where did you go if you didn't cook well at home?" Mrs. Pi also frowned and asked.

When autumn is busy, it is time to provide good food and food, so that we can work hard.

Wang Wuniang trembled when she heard the words, and began to explain falteringly.
