Chapter Seventy-Seven: Who Asked You to Provoke Her
By the time Yuansi got home, the old lady had already arranged the two pickle jars and a large water tank, and the carriage had already left.
"Why did you come back for so long? The old lady asked casually.
"Well, I ran into a few wild dogs blocking the way on the road, and I was idle and sent away. Yuan Si also replied casually.
"Wild dogs are so rampant, they dare to enter the village in broad daylight, it seems that they are really hungry. The old lady muttered a few words and went into the house to brush the tank.
"Mother, I'm going to carry water. Yuan Si found the flat pole and two wooden barrels in the firewood room and went out again.
"I don't need you, I'll go in a while. The old lady's voice came from inside the house.
"No, I'll just go. "Yuan Si has gone far.
The draft here is a bit difficult, and most people do not have wells, so Yuan Sijia has to go to a large public well in the village every morning to fetch water.
There are several such wells throughout the village, and families draw water from wells close to home. Yuan Si's house is not far from the well, about 100 meters.
When she carried her pole to the well, two women were washing their clothes at the well.
There are many people at the well in the morning, washing clothes and wastewater, and many people will take their clothes to the well to wash in order to save trouble.
"Yo, why is your mother willing to let you carry the water. You're not even tall, are you? A big girl doing laundry said.
Yuan Si was very reluctant to hear others mention her height, in the past six months, her nutrition has kept up, but her height has not increased significantly, which makes her a little worried.
"Haha, little four, just now I saw a carriage entering the village, it seems that there is your mother in the car, what is your mother doing. The other little daughter-in-law didn't want to offend Zuo Daya's mother and daughter, so she casually made a round.
Yuan Si glared at the woman who buried her height, if it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, she would have beaten someone in the morning. "Well, my family bought a pickle jar and wanted to pickle some pickles, so I didn't come over to fetch water to wash the jar. As she spoke, she threw down the bucket beside the well, and shook the rope at this end, feeling that it should be filled underneath, and then pulled the bucket up with great force.
"Come and I'll help you fetch water, you little kid, dangerous. The woman who had just spoken put down her clothes and prepared to come over to help.
"No, I can carry it. As she spoke, Yuan Si had already brought a bucket of water up from the well, and then poured it into her bucket with a bang.
The little daughter-in-law saw that her movements were so smooth, so she didn't get up, and continued to wash her clothes.
Yuan Si quickly beat the water, and left with a flat burden.
"I don't think you like the fourth child of Lady Zuo's family?" asked the little daughter-in-law.
The eldest girl was bored and washed her clothes, and she didn't speak, and after a while, she said leisurely: "It's all a girl, I just envy her for being reincarnated as a good family." ”
The little daughter-in-law thought of the eldest girl's patriarchal father, sighed and didn't know what to say.
After Yuan Si went home, she followed the old lady to wash and scrub it again, and at night, no one had found the house, so she was relieved, knowing that although those people were not things, they still had a little backbone, and they were beaten so badly, and they didn't let the family find the door. That's good, the old lady doesn't know about it, so she can lose ink for a while.
Yuan Si didn't know, except for Li Qiang, those young men were really backbone, some of the three of them had their fathers looking for their stepmothers, some of them were brought up by widows, and some of them wished they had died outside, and they didn't care where their injuries came from. The two young men were also stubborn, so they hid in the house to recuperate from their injuries. The widow's mother treated her son as a pain in her eyes, but she also knew what kind of virtue her son was, and when she saw her son come back from this injury, she couldn't ask who beat her, so she could only cry.
As for Li Qiang, he didn't need to be asked at all, he just went home crying, Li Xueniang was instantly furious when she saw her youngest son's injury, and threatened to find the murderer to settle the score. As a result, after hearing her son tell her son what happened, her face changed greatly and she quickly touched her son's crotch.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" the young man turned red.
"It didn't hurt you, if you hit it, you have to tell your mother as soon as possible, and we will have to treat you if we smash the pot and sell iron." Li Xueniang is about to cry.
"No, how can a little Ga's bean hurt such an important part of me. Li Qiang seemed to have forgotten who had just been beaten, and began to brag again.
Li Xueniang saw that her son was really fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay if it doesn't hurt." Then he remembered that his son had provoked the little evil star, and he gave him a hard blow to the back with a backhand.
"Oh, mother, what are you doing?" Li Qiang didn't expect to go home and cry and be beaten again.
"What am I doing, I'm beating you, who is not long-eyed, what did I say at home, do you want you not to mess with the old Zuo's junior, that kid is ruthless, you haven't seen Li Shitan's fate, why are you so bold to provoke her, ah?"
"Didn't my sister tell me to go? Li Qiang sold his own sister almost immediately. As for the fact that the girl beat Li Shitan into a waste, he had heard about it, but he had not experienced it himself, so how could he experience it.
"This dead girl, see that I don't kill her, every day she knows to cause trouble for me. Li Xueniang gritted her teeth and prepared to go into the house to clean up her daughter. Dare to ask her brother to fight for her, it's a good thing that people are merciful, if it is really broken, she has no place to cry, this dead child should be cleaned up.
"Mother, then I will be beaten in vain?" Li Qiang saw that his mother was about to enter the house aggressively, not like she wanted to avenge him.
"Don't you still want to fix it in vain, a very big young man, beaten by a six-year-old female doll with bruises, you are embarrassed to go home and cry, shame is not ashamed. After Li Xueniang scolded her son, she went into the house.
After a while, Li Xue's cries and begging for mercy sounded in the house.
Li Qiang shrunk his neck in fright outside, and slipped back to his house to recuperate.
Besides, Yuan Si, the days are back on track, just stay at home if you have nothing to do, pick up wheat grains, pinch braids to exercise mental strength, and take time to make food for yourself and replenish nutrition. maintained the frequency of going to the county once a week, and sold all the braids she pinched to the purchase station, and every time she could collect ten or eight yuan, she would give half to the old lady. Seeing that the old lady was happy every time she received money, she was also happy.
The old lady's new bedding was also ready, and after Yuan Si washed her bed sheets and covers, she offered to sleep separately from the old lady.
The reason is that the old lady will disturb her when she is practicing at night, and the old lady is not happy, but she is afraid of delaying the girl's big event, so she still cleans up the opposite room and gives it to her daughter.
