Chapter 2: Rebirth and Return
"The dead girl who suffered from the plague, the natural young lady who was born with a maid's life, just knows that those who eat white rice lose money. There was a powerful scolding and the sound of barrels being smashed in the courtyard.
Tian Xiuyun raised her hand to cover her dry eyes, she never thought that she would be able to return to this home.
It seemed that she could still see the raging fire mercilessly devouring her body, and she thought that she would die, or go to hell or be reincarnated.
But I didn't want to, when I opened my eyes, I went back to when I was 15 years old, and the owner of the voice outside the room was my mother-in-law Zhao Chunmei.
It's also ridiculous to say that she, a seemingly spicy mother, is also a perennial character in front of her grandmother, just because she gave birth to two daughters one after another, and she didn't give birth to her only brother until she was 5 years old.
This is a little stronger than the hen that doesn't lay eggs in the eyes of the patriarchal Grandma Tian, compared to the other three aunts, each family has more than one son, and the mother has no status in the Tian family.
is such a woman who is often bullied and not taken seriously, but she will only vent her grievances and unwillingness on her daughter.
Because in Zhao Chunmei's heart, she will live so badly, all because of her daughter.
Especially as the eldest in the family, she is often beaten and scolded by her own mother, and even outsiders can't stand it, but she still doesn't know it.
"Eldest sister, get up quickly, or your mother will come in and beat you again in a while. The cowardly second sister quietly walked into the narrow hut and gently pushed Tian Xiuyun on the bed.
"Xiuru, my sister knows, you go out first. Tian Xiuyun raised her head and smiled at her sister, even if she had a high fever because of the rain, her whole body was sore.
But she knows that now is not the time for her to be sad and senqiu, just like her sister Tian Xiuru said, if she lies down for a while, I am afraid that she will be greeted by another beating.
In my memory, in her previous life, from birth to work, until she died, she was most exposed to beating and scolding.
"Hurry up and cut pigweed for me, such a big person, you know how to play all day long, and you are lazy like a ghost, see if you can still marry like this." Zhao Chunmei was not soft-hearted at all because she was her own daughter, but when she saw her eldest daughter who came out slowly, she was even more angry, and she was even more angry when she thought of her mother-in-law's scolding of her yesterday.
"Got it, mother. Tian Xiuyun stopped inking, quickly picked up the sickle and straw cage outside the door, picked it up and walked out of the door.
Touching my shriveled stomach, I felt bitter in my heart, because after waking up, I suddenly found myself reborn, and my mood was very complicated, so I lay in bed for a long time.
I didn't react for a while, I missed breakfast, and now I'm hungry, but I have to quickly cut the pigweed and send it back, otherwise I don't even want to eat lunch.
Although her body is still sick, Tian Xiuyun's feet are not slow, maybe she has been working for many years, so even if she is not feeling well, she still walks like a fly, which is really a terrible habit.
"Yo, isn't this the eldest girl of Tian Laosan's family, who was scolded by your mother again?" A woman sprang out from the side of the road, with a pair of small eyes that flowed, exuding the atmosphere of gossip.
"Aunt Qiao is early. Tian Xiuyun recognized it for a while, and then remembered that this was the aunt of the neighbor next door, with a very ordinary face, but her eyes were particularly small, and she was very easy to recognize. I haven't seen it since I moved out of the village, but there are still some reflections.
"It's still early, it's all here, and the fields are starting to get busy. Aunt Qiao pursed her lips, but she still approached carefully, "If you want me to say, your mother is too, you are such a big girl, and you still scold you all day long, and you don't care about your face at all." ”
"Aunt Qiao, I'm going to get busy first. Tian Xiuyun didn't answer, and people didn't really care about her, but there was a little dirt between her and her mother.
I didn't know it in the past, but I lived again, the things in this village, to put it bluntly, what are the great secrets, what kind of face do you mention, it's good to live well, they all live in the village, how can there be so much exquisiteness.
"Cut, what the hell, you deserve to be scolded by your mother. Aunt Qiao saw Tian Xiuyun leaving directly with her things on her back, and couldn't help pouting, as far as Zhao Chunmei's slut was born, she was really not a good thing, she looked like a fox.
Tian Xiuyun faintly heard Aunt Qiao's voice behind her, but she didn't hear it, such people are too common in the countryside.
If you don't agree with each other, you will be scolded or beaten, if you deal with such a person, it will be purely a kick in the head by a donkey, not to mention that she is weak now, and if she really fights like this, she will also be beaten.
Maybe when you get home, you can't escape the blame of your family, so why can't you get along with yourself, just treat it as a dog barking.
Leaving everything behind her, Tian Xiuyun walked quickly to the barley field at the foot of the mountain, quickly picked up the sickle, and began to harvest the pigweed piece by piece, which was to be used to feed the task pig at home.
Now it is the second half of 1974, and there are still several years before the reform and opening up, and these years, it is no surprise that she has to stay honestly in the village, otherwise there is no identity certificate, no household registration certificate, even if she wants to escape from this home, she has no clue.
Fortunately, the year she was sold was 1977, and there are still 3 years to go, maybe she can think of a way, or save enough money to redeem herself.
"Fool, fool, big fool, hahahaha~" Tian Xiuyun, who was cutting pigweed, suddenly heard a commotion, she picked up the sickle and followed the sound and walked over, hiding behind a big tree and looking at the gathered crowd in front.
"I'm not stupid, you are, shoot you. I saw a sloppy boy who was besieged, grabbing the dirt on the ground and throwing it around.
"Jiang Dazhu, you're a stinky fool. The child kept waving the branch in his hand at the boy, and kept swearing in his mouth.
Tian Xiuyun, who was hiding behind the tree, watched coldly, the bullied teenager was her husband in her previous life, a complete fool, a fool who could only drool and beat people.
Decades of married life made Tian Xiuyun unable to have any sympathy for Jiang Dazhu at this time, and being merciful to the enemy was cruel to herself. In her previous life, she was worried about Widow Zhao because she inadvertently helped a fool once, so she paid to buy herself, and now she will definitely not repeat the mistakes of the past.
After watching it for a while, Tian Xiuyun left directly, and these people on the left and right would not really kill people.
Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with her, instead of meddling here, it is better to finish cutting the pigweed, there must be a lot of work waiting for her to do at home.
Now the Tian family is not separated, except for the uncle's family who lives in the town, their family and the eldest uncle's family live together. And because the eldest aunt and the second aunt both gave birth to two or three sons, they think they have contributed to the Tian family, so the trivial matters of the family basically fall on their family.
And Tian Xiuyun's father Tian Xueren is a selfish and cowardly man, even if he knows that such a distribution is not fair, he never dares to say anything to his grandparents.
Even if Zhao Chunmei often quarrels with Tian's father in private, she never ignores him, for him, he has to go to work, and these housework will not fall on him, there are so many girls in the family, do more work, and make your parents happy, it doesn't matter.
So much so that this phenomenon was maintained until Tian Xiuyun gradually grew up and was able to do things, Zhao Chunmei began to push these things on her, and she started cooking on the fire at the age of six, beating pigweed to feed pigs, and for so many years, she never stopped.
Even the sister-in-law and sister-in-law who have married in the lobby and the second cousin have been married in the past two years, and they usually work with them, and they don't do any housework.
