The boss is dressed as cannon fodder

The river in the village is one of the favorite places for women to gossip. The three aunts and six women love to inquire about other people's homes. The village is so peaceful that any daughter-in-law has said her stinky feet several times. How can it be like now, which only happens in the Jiang family? They can talk about things without repeating them for ten and a half months!

Now there are seven or eight women talking very unhappy while doing laundry.

"Did you hear about it? Jiang He of the Jiang family, the doctor said it was unlikely that he would wake up, but he actually survived."

"You are so ill-informed! The Jiang family has been in trouble for many times... I mean, what if Jiang He comes back alive." A fat woman looked sympathetic, but there was gloating in her eyes, "It would be better to die. Well, the doctor said that his legs are just like this. Unless he can spend dozens of taels to go to the city to find an old imperial doctor, he will be crippled for the rest of his life. "

"No matter what, it's better to die than live."

"As for the partial old woman of the Jiang family, Jiang He still doesn't know how to live his life." Thanks to Peach Blossom Girl's mouth, everyone now knows about Old Mrs. Jiang's partiality.

"Speaking of it, Mrs. Jiang's ability to trick one son into sacrificing his whole heart for another son is quite admirable." Tsk, they were also biased, but they were not biased enough to let one son's bone marrow be sucked by another.

"First of all, you have to have a son who is easy to cheat!"

"Yes, it's very rare for people to be as stupid as Jiang Dao." Several old women whose sons were attracted by their wives were unhappy because they didn't have such foolish and filial sons.

Peach Blossom Girl shook her head, "Jiang Dao is not stupid. Speaking of it, Mrs. Jiang is very powerful. She has deceived Jiang Dao since he was a child. Wasn't there a widowed woman in the next village before? She has been indoctrinated into everything she does since she was a child. It’s right to be filial to your mother. Isn’t that why a filial son was tortured to death by his mother because he was too filial to his mother, and he kept saying that the daughter-in-law deserves to die, and the unfilial daughter-in-law deserves to die.”

"I know, I know, his name is Gou Wang, and he has been taught to be foolish and filial by his mother since he was a child." The obese woman became more energetic. Her mother's family is from the next village. This matter is very clear. "Gou Wang was taught by his brother-in-law, that is, The second daughter-in-law’s brother broke his leg, and now he relies on his mother to support him. It’s no wonder that the second daughter-in-law was pregnant when she died.”

Many women listened curiously. They didn't have great wisdom. They just knew that if they heard more about these things, they would know what to do when they encounter him in the future.

"That Gou Wang is thirty now and has no children. He blames his mother for being too harsh on her daughter-in-law." The fat woman said, "No matter how filial he is, he still gets resentful and calls his mother cruel every day. Gou Wang Wang Niang cries every day now, saying that she is just worried that her son will marry a wife and forget about her. "

Peach Blossom Lady whispered, "Gouwang Lady was widowed at a young age. No wonder she couldn't stand her son's lack of filial piety." All her thoughts were on her son, and naturally her daughter-in-law was an enemy. "If the court encourages widows to remarry..."

Several women who were widowed or had widowed relatives at home stopped talking. The life of a widow is really difficult. The court doesn't know what's going on. Thirty or forty years ago, there were many widows who could remarry, but today it's completely different. There are widows remarrying in the family, and the whole family is being spit on.

A younger daughter-in-law didn't say anything either. In fact, if her parents' family really loved their daughter, they would still allow her to return to her parents' family and remarry. This discrimination against widows remarrying is a matter for scholars. It is not easy to get a wife in rural areas, and there are many older leftover men who don't care about marrying widows.

Rural people don’t understand what “keeping one’s innocence in the world” means. They only know that having no descendants is the biggest thing in the world. Widows who had given birth to children were sometimes more likely to marry.

Therefore, all the young wives secretly sympathize with Shun Niang. Actually, it would be better if Jiang Dao is dead. If Shun Niang is recalcitrant and makes trouble for remarrying, the Jiang family will have nothing to do with her because of her reputation.

Now it's troublesome. The old woman of the Jiang family is partial to her younger son. The eldest son of the Jiang family has always been oppressed. Now that Jiang He is useless and can't work, the sky of the eldest house of the Jiang family has collapsed. Shun Niang is afraid that she will never have a good life in her life.

But is this really the case?

***

"Husband, the medicine is ready." Shun Niang carefully brought the medicine into the room. The mother-in-law couldn't stand her husband's crying, so she actually gave her a tael of silver, and she took all of it to the old doctor to buy the medicine.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shun Niang." Jiang He gently took the medicine from her hand.

"No, it's not hard... Everything is according to Shun Niang's pleasure..." Shun Niang still seems to be in a dream with such a gentle husband...

A woman is born to suffer. Although her husband would beat her in the past, she also understands that if the sky above her head is gone without her husband, her life may be even more miserable.

Shun Niang secretly made up her mind that if her mother-in-law refused to give her money to treat her husband's leg, she would simply separate the family. She worked hard to earn money to treat his leg.

"Dad, is the medicine bitter?" Erniu smiled sweetly and stretched out her chicken claw-like hands. There was a small black wild fruit in her hand. "This is sweet, give it to dad."

Jiang He drank the medicine in one gulp without blinking, and took the black plum fruit from the little girl's hand. There are few people planting fruit trees in the countryside, and most of the greedy children go to the foot of the back mountain to look for wild fruits.

"Thank you, Er Niu, but you can't go out alone next time. It's too dangerous." Jiang He was a little worried that the place where he picked wild fruits was too far away and there would be danger. The little loli who was only five years old in ancient times was still in kindergarten in modern times, so he had to follow him now The adults are busy washing and scrubbing all day long.

Erniu is not afraid of her father who no longer beats or scolds people. "Erniu is not alone. Erniu and her sister went to pick fruits together." In fact, they picked a lot of fruits, but they were all snatched away by the two cousins. But her sister didn't let her tell her father, saying that the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.

Jianghe touched Erniu's head, and called the eldest girl who was busy from morning to night and used half an adult, "Big girl, come here, dad has delicious food."

Jianghe touched the eldest girl's head equally, "Big girl, you have worked hard. Our eldest girl is really capable. Today she helped cook, feed chickens and cut grass for pigs." Nowadays, children of this age are still in their parents' arms and begging for this and that, but his eldest girl has taken on the burden of the family.

Dad praised her, so happy... Big girl blushed, and her skinny hands stirred behind her because of shyness.

Shunniang, who was sewing shoe soles, occasionally raised her head, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. But after just a few days, her eyes were no longer dead.

Jiang He took out a small bag very mysteriously, and the two girls held their breath and looked at the small bag because of his attitude.

"Guess what this is?"

"Silver?" The eldest girl's eyes lit up. With silver, she could buy medicine for her father. If her father wanted to buy medicine, he had to quarrel with grandma. He must be sad because he was so filial... If he had silver, he wouldn't have to quarrel with grandma.

"No." This child is really precocious, but it was also because the original owner was not a good father, making such a young child worry about the lack of money at home.

"Delicious?"

Jiang He couldn't help but touch his little daughter's head again, "Second girl is so smart, come, I'll give you a big one, open your mouth!"

Second girl opened her mouth wide, then covered her mouth in surprise, fearing that the food in her mouth would fly away, "Sweet, it's sugar!"

The eldest girl also felt the wonderful taste and licked it carefully, fearing that it would soon be gone.

"The child's mother has worked hard too." Jiang He signaled Shun Niang to open her mouth, and deliberately picked the largest piece and stuffed it into her mouth. The original owner was a weirdo. She saved up the candy she bought with great difficulty to coax her two nephews, and didn't consider giving it to her own children. After Jiang He arrived, he naturally focused on his own daughter. In the past two days, he has also seen that the two sons born to Jiang Hai and Xiao Chen are spoiled. If they are not properly disciplined, they will sooner or later grow up to be ungrateful like their father.

Shun Niang tasted the sweetness on the tip of her tongue and her face turned red. She is not a child.

But...

The candy is really sweet, and it is sweet all the way to her heart.

***

In the kitchen, Shun Niang was busy with her two daughters.

"Mom, Dad said that the candy will not be given to the eldest and second brothers, and all will be left for us." Er Niu smiled sweeter than candy.

The eldest girl was also recalling the sweetness of the candy, "Dad is the best." She really likes her current dad too much, more than candy.

"Okay, you two are not allowed to talk, hurry up and work, otherwise your grandmother will be angry again."

The two little girls shuddered and lowered their heads to work.

"Shun Niang!!! Didn't I tell you that you can't cook more than one barrel of rice!" Old Chen walked into the kitchen angrily, picked up firewood and started beating her, while Little Chen watched with glee.

Shun Niang's first reaction was to protect her two children behind her, tense her body and trembled as she faced her mother-in-law's beating. Although she knew her mother-in-law wouldn't listen, she couldn't help but defend herself, "Mother, I have always been very careful when measuring rice, and it's definitely not more than one barrel..."

"You dare to refute! I have already calculated that this barrel of rice can last for two months, and it's only one and a half months now! You ruining bitch!" Old Chen's face was ferocious, and her eyes that looked like she wanted to eat the three of them were chilling.

"Grandma, last time I saw my aunt go back to her parents' home, she was holding a big basket..."

Little Chen felt bad. How could this dead child have such sharp eyes? She rushed over and hit the big girl: "You loser, you mean I stole rice?! You don't respect your elders and you accuse me!"

Old Chen was even more angry. Little Chen was her niece. Saying that she stole things was like throwing dirty water on her mother's head! She was most proud of her mother's family. The family tradition was positive, and the nephews were promising and the nieces were gentle.

Seeing that a beating was about to happen, a miserable scream could wake up the dead people within a radius of 800 miles: "Mom, your legs hurt so much because you refused to spend money to treat them. Mom, please ask the doctor to treat me... Woo, when I get better, I will work hard to earn money for my brother to study..."

Old Chen's face turned blue, and the big girl started to make trouble every day.
