The ugly wife of peasant family

Without a trace toward a haystack not far away, Xia Xi leads Qi Er to LAN er's home.

Lan'er and her husband have just gone out, and they are still puzzled to see her. Lan'er says, "sister-in-law, we don't mean..."

Xia Xi interrupts her, "I need your help."

Lan'er just wanted to ask, Xia Xi waved her hand.

Lan'er immediately understood and turned to open the gate of the courtyard, "sister-in-law, come in and say."

A little later, several people came out one after another, Xia Xi in front, the pillar carrying the bucket in the back, wobbly.

To the haystack, stop foot, Xia Xi raised chin, LAN Er two people will, one person picked up a bucket of water, at the same time toward the haystack after splashing.

"Ah With a cry, Niu came out from behind the haystack.

"Granny, why are you here?"

Xia Xi looks surprised.

Niu's whole body was wet, and the drops of water fell on his feet. His teeth trembled with cold, "I, I, I..."

"Oh..."

Lan'er has stepped forward quickly, "aunt Niu, what are you doing behind this haystack at night?"

"I, I, I..."

Hiding in the distance, ling'er and zhi'er pretended to hear the news before they ran over to see the drops of water on Niu's body trickling down. They scolded Xia Xi mercilessly for countless times in their heart, but they were about to cry on their face. Zhi'er also brought a cry cavity, "mother, are you OK?"

Niu's frozen words have to say, "hurry up, help, help me back!"

Looking at three people's awkward figure, LAN Er covers his mouth, almost laughs.

Xia Xi mouth also held a smile, and so on three figure disappeared in the courtyard, also turned, "let's go."

The next day, the news of Niu's illness came out from the village. People in the village came to visit him one after another. Seeing that Niu's disease was not mild, they were very puzzled. He was still well yesterday. Why did he suddenly get sick like this.

Niu's dumbfounded, naturally hard to say that he is because of tracking Xia Xi, she found, splashed a body of water, resulting in illness, only said that he was cold.

This side of the people come and go, Xia Xi as if did not hear, stay in the room to teach Qi Er to write.

A carriage stopped at the gate of the yard. The coachman put the reins on the horse and went into the yard to ask, "is the eldest lady there?"

Xia Xi heard the voice come out, don't wait for her to speak, the coachman said, "Miss, the master and Lady let me send you some food."

Qi'er came out, saw the coachman and whispered, "mother, I know him."

Xia Xi goes out, "move things in."

The coachman carried a bag of white flour on his shoulder, strode in, looked at the open-air cooker, and quietly put it into the house.

There were bedding, clothes, half a fan of meat and a lot of charcoal on the carriage.

The coachman finished moving things, then took out the silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Xia Xi, "Miss, this is from the master."

Xia Xi took it, and the coachman said, "madam, when she came here, she told you to put away these things. If the little red eye stealthily took them for you, you can take a message to her. She has to tear the man."

Xia Xi restrained a smile, "you go back to tell my mother, just say I know."

"My wife also said that I will buy you two servant girls in a few days, and you will be wronged for another two days."

"You tell my mother, there's no need for a maid. Qi'er and I are used to it."

The coachman answered and drove back.

Naturally, some people saw all this, but they envied it. They told Niu to listen to it.

Niu almost couldn't bring it up in one breath. He fainted and was so scared that his face turned white.

Ling Er naturally is not reconciled, so many good things, in the past can be got to their yard, now can't see, her heart is like burning a fire, burning.

He said with a smile, "mother, you have become like this. Why should you be angry? It's not one day or two that sister-in-law and her mother's family treat us like this. Big brother is not at home, we provide her with delicious food and drink every day. But she doesn't treat us as a family at all. Not only does she not give us anything from her mother's family, but also she doesn't tell us how to earn money. Instead, she helps outsiders. "

Hearing the way to make money, everyone raised their ears.

In this cold winter, the men go to the county can not find work, no income, a few people all nest at home, can eat a little less, lest not wait for tomorrow's summer harvest, a family starved to death.

With heart and eyes alive, eyes turned and asked tentatively, "what's the way to make money that Mrs. Ju Ren thought of?"

"We don't know what to do, but don't you find that there are people in the village who eat well almost every day recently?" she said with a sneer

When she said this, everyone thought of Zhu's house.

Thinking of the fragrance of their house and the ribs he put in the bucket yesterday, his eyes lit up. "Miss ling'er, do you mean that Mrs. Ju gave the method to the couple?"

"I didn't say it. You guessed it yourself."

She this tone, public still have what don't understand, looked at each other, leave one after another.

……

Niu's last night, Xia Xi was alert, told Zhu Zhu and LAN Er that in the future, no matter catching fish or sending fish to the county, we should be careful not to be seen by the villagers.

Zhu and Lan'er came back. When they saw many people standing at the entrance of the village from a distance, they were stunned and slowed down. Lan'er came closer to the pillar and lowered his voice. "Fortunately, we didn't buy meat today."

If so many people see that they have bought meat, they really don't know how to answer.

Before they arrived at the entrance of the village, someone met them. They first looked into the bucket and saw nothing. Then they asked with a smile, "Zhu, I heard that you two have a way to make money, don't you?"

They were surprised, but they didn't show it on their faces. Zhu's simple and honest scratched his head, "brother Daniel, who are you listening to? What can we find to make money?"

"Don't tell me. These days your family is eating meat every other time. The smell of meat wafts out all the way, and people in the village can smell it. We're all from the countryside. If you eat meat, we'll have soup. "

Lan'er's heart turned quickly, and then said, "brother Daniel, those are bought by sister-in-law Yu. She had a bad time with aunt Yu a few days ago. She didn't have a stove at home, so she came to our house to eat all the time. She was so sorry that she just bought some meat."

Daniel patted the shoulder of the pillar and said, "what we heard is not like this. It is said that the wife of Ju Ren found a way to make money. She taught you, and then you became rich."

Finish saying, don't wait for pillar to talk, again way, "pillar, can't patronize your home to eat meat, watch villagers starve to death?"
