After all, Ning Zhen still had an errand on his body, and he couldn't stay in Cloud City for a long time. said that he could stay for half a month, but after ten days, he began to pack his luggage, bid farewell to the old lady and the old lady of the original family, and the family left the city gate and left the original home.

Yuan Dongliang and Ning Nianzhi reluctantly sent the child to the gate of the city, and originally wanted to continue to send it out, but Ma Xinrong was worried that the newborn child could not blow the cold wind, so he was not allowed to send it forward. The little couple stood at the gate of the city with their children in their arms, watching the carriage go away, and then their eyes turned red.

"Don't be sad, when you're free for a while, I'll take you back to Beijing to have a look." Yuan Dongliang raised his hand and touched Ning Nianzhi's hair, took the person in his arms, and rubbed the fat belly in his arms: "Look, my son is also comforting you." ”

The little fat group was rubbed comfortably, his mouth grinned, revealing a big smile, the child's smile was already infectious, even if Ning Nianzhi was sad, seeing his son's smile, he couldn't help but show a smile. But in the next moment, the fat dumpling began to hum and chirp, twisting his neck and leaning into Ning Nianzhi's arms, fortunately, the two of them were in the carriage, just like that, Ning Nianzhi couldn't help but blush.

"It's okay, I can't see it outside, but I can't starve our son." Yuan Dongliang smiled lowly and moved his body out: "If you don't worry, I'll help you block it?" ”

The child is still young and hungry, even if Ning Nianzhi is shy, he can only hide in front of Yuan Dongliang and slightly open some of his clothes. Fortunately again, the couple came out in a carriage.

After five or six days, the sadness of parting slowly faded. After lunch that day, I was discussing with the old lady to go around the garden, and the maid came in and reported: "The third young lady is here, the old lady ......" hesitated for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "The third young lady has a wounded ...... on her face."

The old lady was a little surprised: "With an injury? Ning Nianzhi was also a little puzzled: "Could it be that he fell down when he went out?" That's supposed to be raised at home, why did it come out? What is the expression of the third young lady? ”

"Some...... Sad......" The little maid thought for a while before saying, in fact, it was not only a little sad, it was simply too sad. It's just that, as a maid, it's hard to say that the master's ugly side is too ugly, so the little maid only said vaguely: "It's probably too painful." ”

Although the old lady doesn't like the second room, she doesn't have much resentment towards the third young lady, after all, the third young lady is also a poor person. Now that everyone is injured, and they are still in front of their own house, there must be something important.

If you do, maybe something will happen to your family. If you don't see it, it's indeed a little soft-hearted. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Ning Nianzhi, Ning Nianzhi had dealt with the third young lady, so he nodded and said: "If there is a difficulty, we can help if we can, if we can't help, let's just say it." ”

The old lady nodded, and the little maid hurriedly went out and invited the third young lady in. As soon as they entered the door, the old lady and Ning Nianzhi were stunned, what the little girl said just now was still too subtle, this was not just a little injured, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was bruised, her lips were bloody, her nose was red, and her clothes were a little torn.

"Third brother and sister, what's wrong?" Ning Nianzhi reacted first, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, but the third young lady first took her hand and showed a wry smile, and then knelt down in front of the old lady with a puff: "Grandmother, please make the decision for me, if you don't help your granddaughter-in-law, my granddaughter-in-law is afraid that she will die." ”

The old lady was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" But when you go out, you meet bandits? Shouldn't it, Dongliang didn't cut down a thief a while ago? There shouldn't be anyone who has the courage to send it to the door at this time, right? ”

"It's not a bandit, but it's more hateful than a bandit, that bandit wants to kill people, and he has to beware of the court soldiers and horses, this person has no scruples, if it's not a grandmother, I'm afraid that no one in this world can punish it."

He Shi smiled and said, but that smile, appearing on such a bruised face, was a little terrifying. While laughing, there are tears in those eyes, which is sad to look at.

The old lady was not stupid, and was silent for a while before asking, "Is it Miao's hand?" ”

"Grandmother help me." He didn't nod, nor did he deny it, filial piety is greater than the sky, as a daughter-in-law, she sued her mother-in-law for unfilial piety, even if she went to the yamen, she would be beaten first. Moreover, it is not wise to file a complaint.

He Shi wiped his tears and said: "Since the division of the family, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have often quarreled, and my mother-in-law feels uncomfortable. It's just that I'm stupid, and I can't be liked by my second sister-in-law, once or twice, my mother-in-law only exists when I don't exist. But now, it's about the mother-in-law who is very depressed, even the second sister-in-law can't laugh at the mother-in-law, too, the mother-in-law's temper is getting worse and worse......"

Bad pregnancy, start beating people. Xiao Miao is Miao's proud daughter-in-law and mother's family, Miao will definitely not touch Xiao Miao. As for the second master, she can't beat it, and she can't bear the two sons and grandson, and after thinking about it, she can only take the third young lady out of anger.

"When the family was not separated, the granddaughter-in-law and the sister-in-law got closer, and the mother-in-law said that I was a traitor for glory......" He said again, and the old lady was a little angry: "What is a traitor for glory!" What kind of master is she! You're really tired of life, aren't you? Is this original home really the original home of her second room? ”

"The granddaughter-in-law doesn't ask for anything else, she just asks her grandmother to let her granddaughter-in-law live here for two days, so that she can relieve the injury on her body, otherwise, if the granddaughter-in-law goes out, she will lose the cheeks of the original family." He moved his cheeks, immediately raised his hand to cover it, and then quickly let go, walked to the old lady on his knees, raised his hand and wanted to hold the old lady's leg, but timidly retracted his hand: "I can do anything, help my grandmother bring tea and pour water, beat my back and pinch my shoulders, and just ask my grandmother to give me a place to live." ”

Even when it came to the original family, He didn't dare to say it too deeply, for fear that it would backfire, but it would make the old lady disgusted with her.

The third young lady is really a little pitiful like this, her own family can't help her now, and she has no children. The injury on this body, even if it is said, there is a □□ chance that it will be splashed back by Miao's basin of dirty water, and the only one who can help her now is the old lady.

But on the contrary, the old lady is extremely disgusted with the second room, and the things in the second room can not be touched. When she was still in the original mansion in the past, she was a little wooden, hindering the old witch of the Miao family, and she had never curried favor with the old lady, and she was also very worried when she asked for help at this time.

If she were an old lady, I am afraid that she would not come forward for a granddaughter-in-law who is not close.

Thinking about it, the third young lady couldn't help but go to see Ning Nianzhi. The only one who can speak in front of the old lady is this sister-in-law, who was held in the palm of the old lady's hand when she first entered the door, and now she has a son, I am afraid that if she says that she wants dragon marrow today, the old lady will also think of getting her a child.

Ning Nianzhi lowered her eyes, the old lady was very close to her, she and the third young lady only had a slight relationship, for the third young lady to force the old lady, she couldn't do it.

"Grandmother?" After a long time, the old lady's eyes never opened, and He called out anxiously. The old lady shook her head: "I don't need you to serve here, after all, you don't have children yet, if I leave you, I'm afraid your mother-in-law will also come to the door." ”

She was not afraid that the Miao family would come to the door, but she was afraid that the Miao family would take advantage of the matter of the heir to send her son over. She finally let the old man divide the family and drive out the second room, and now bring back one person, there may be a second, a third and a fourth, slowly, the second room may have to move back again, so didn't she waste her efforts before?

Seeing that He's face showed some disappointment, the old lady said again: "However, I can find you a place to recuperate, and then let people come to your house and ask your father-in-law what it looks like to be an old husband and wife, what does it look like to be so noisy?" ”

Although it was different from what he wanted, as long as he could leave the Miao family temporarily, the He family was already very happy, and he nodded busily. Ning Nianzhi bent down and helped the person up: "You just have to take care of your body with peace of mind, food and clothing, if you are missing, just let someone come and talk to me." I really can't ......."

After a pause, Ning Nianzhi didn't continue. If she is replaced, even if she doesn't want a dowry, she will have to leave, and it will definitely not be the first time that Miao has beaten her, but she doesn't ask her husband for help, she has to come to the old lady, which shows that the man is also unreliable.

Not only was it unreliable, but the man might have persuaded her to endure it in every possible way.

Compared with life, dowry is naturally more important than life, and you can still earn it if you don't have money, where can you find it when your life is gone? Moreover, even if there is no dowry, it is just a bit harder, but it is not to the point of begging for food, why can't you stand it?

But He would rather go to the old lady for help, but he was not willing to propose and leave. This kind of temperament, Ning Nianzhi really doesn't like it. I only thought she was a little too sensitive and sad, but now I feel that she is too cowardly. Such a person, fortunately, has no children, otherwise, I am afraid that the children will be beaten.

Of course, maybe it's stronger to be a mother?

The old lady chose a small courtyard, which was bought in the public school, because it was too small, so when the family was separated, they didn't like the second room. Now, it's just for He's use. He brought a maid with him, and Ning Nianzhi only sent someone to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea and send it over.

Subsequently, the old lady sent someone to the mansion of the second old man and specially passed the word, so as not to beat the He family again under the pretext that He would not return.

When the old man came back in the evening, the old lady told him in detail, and the old man was shocked and angry: "I thought she had a bad temper and a little arrogant, but I didn't expect that she would beat someone!" Then the He family, even if her mother's family is down, she is also her daughter-in-law, she did such a thing, where will the face of the original family go? ”

What the He family looks like, the old man can't remember it a little. But Miao's behavior is really annoying and hateful, the old man couldn't sleep angrily, walked around the room a few times, turned around and said: "No, Ming'er, I have to talk to the second child about this, then the Miao family is also from a famous family, why did he have such a temperament?" If it really doesn't work, send it back to the Miao family, and have its own Miao family to discipline it! ”

muttered a few words, and then came to the old lady, and flattered the old lady to knead her arm: "Ming'er, you sent the grandmother next to you to pass on a message?" After all, I don't want to ask too much about the affairs of the back house, I can say a few words on the second side, but the Miao side ......"

The old lady glared at him angrily: "I knew that you were going to come to me for this matter, forget it, who made me marry you blindly?" ”

Mama Liao has already left the house, and the people around the old lady have been replaced by Mama Chen, who is nearly twenty years younger than Mama Liao, and people can also speak. came back from the original second master's mansion, and said to the old lady and Ning Nianzhi vividly: "The second lady also has some slap marks on her face, I don't know if it was the second master's beating, I saw the old slave, the second lady's face ah, but I still respectfully responded, and said that I would definitely listen to the old lady in the future, but ......"

In the end, it's just perfunctory, if the third young lady doesn't want to be beaten, she has to stand up by herself, the old lady can help once or twice, is it possible to help her for a lifetime? The second lady's age is much younger than the old lady.

Three days later, the original step-ancestor went to the small courtyard in person, and made amends and gave gifts, and finally invited people back.

But in less than half a month, the third young lady came to the door again. Last time it was so miserable, I didn't cry, but this time I came to the door crying. He had just started to cry, and the porter over there came to spread the word, saying that the second lady had also followed.

I can't kick the He family out again at this time, the old lady was silent for a while, and then asked the second lady to come in.

"Old lady, can you believe this little prostitute's words, as an elder, can I not let her be a daughter-in-law to stand up for a rule? Other people's daughters-in-law can serve their mothers-in-law, how can our family serve those days or two, and they will die or live? ”

"The injury on this body is not my hand, old lady, you have always been reasonable, you see, I am almost fifty years old this year, old and frail, this He is only in his twenties, it is young and strong, can I beat this young and strong old woman?"

"I just counted her down two sentences, and she couldn't stand it, grabbed her face, and then ran out for help."

"What, the scars on the face are not serious, there are injuries on the body? I didn't do it, what happened to the young couple in the room, do I, who is a mother-in-law, still have to ask? I still want to have a face, step-ancestor, you yourself and your grandmother, did you get the scars on He's body? ”

The original step-grandfather was a little embarrassed, but he still stepped forward and saluted: "Because of this little thing, my grandmother is alarmed, and my grandmother who is still tired is worried about me, and my grandson is really unfilial, so I ask my grandmother to forgive me." As he spoke, he arched his hand at He's family: "Hui'er, what's the matter, let's go back and talk about it, okay?" Don't make a fuss, I'll make amends for you, and you'll forgive me once, okay? ”

There was a level of saying this, and Ning Nianzhi's face couldn't help but show some ridicule. He Shi's face was pale, his lips trembled, and his fingers trembled for a long time, but he couldn't say a word. Especially when it was his own man who opened his mouth, he really threw his face on the ground and stepped on it.

Then she was a little desperate, the original step-ancestor said such things, I am afraid that if she said that the scars on her body were beaten, no one would believe it.

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, He got up abruptly, saluted the old lady, and without saying a word, turned around and walked outside. The second lady didn't feel embarrassed or anything, and her voice was very loud: "I don't have the good fortune of the old lady, I have a filial and docile daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law here, but the heart is too high, and I have to polish and polish it when I go back, if the old lady has nothing to do, we will leave first, no need to send it." ”

Anyway, she tore her face, and the second lady picked up the old lady's scar and poked it, Yuan Kangming's daughter-in-law was docile, but the old lady lost her son in middle age and hurt for half her life.

The old lady was angry and angry, and she couldn't care about the He family anymore, so she shouted again and again that someone would come and sweep the floor, and it was necessary to sweep down the place where the second lady had stood. After a long time, he sighed again: "I'm also living a good life, and I'm getting more and more out of breath, don't you just let her say a few words?" Those two are debt collectors, and they left after collecting the debt, but fortunately they still have a conscience and left Dongliang for me. ”

Ning Nianzhi hurriedly comforted the old lady with a few words: "The second aunt has never been in tune, I am afraid that she was scolded by the second uncle last time, her life is not going well, and she naturally hopes that everyone around her is not happy, if grandmother is angry with her, it is her trick." By the way, Brother Guang'er is afraid that he will wake up at this time, why don't grandmothers take a look at Brother Guang'er? ”

The old lady hurriedly said: "It's this time without warning, Brother Guang'er must be hungry, you go and feed the child, and then take the child over." ”

Ning Nianzhi entered the inner room, Brother Guang'er hadn't woken up yet, his little fist was clenched to his mouth, and he slept very cutely. Ning Nianzhi was afraid that he would be sleepy at night, so he squeezed his little fist lightly, and kept shouting Brother Guang'er to wake people up.

The child was a little unhappy when he was woken up, humming and chirping and wanted to cry, Ning Nianzhi hurriedly hugged someone and coaxed him, and untied his clothes to hold the child in his arms, and some ate, Brother Guang'er stopped humming, and began to suck hard in that place.

When Ning Nianzhi fed Brother Guang'er and went to the old lady with the child, the old lady teased Brother Guang'er, and suddenly said: "This matter, it is still necessary for the He family to be strong by himself, and it is unreliable to rely on others." She is young, what hurdles she can't get over? ”

Ning Nianzhi smiled and didn't speak, she looked down on the cowardly person the most. If He is still like this, I am afraid that her little sympathy will be slowly eroded.

Later, He came a few times, the old lady could stop Miao once or twice, but she couldn't stop Miao forever, and there was the original step-ancestor, Miao was fearless, and he became more and more arrogant, in front of the old lady, the finger was about to poke He in the face.

He is also getting thinner and thinner, from the original fat and thin, but it is only two months of hard work, and he has become a paper man, the kind that can be blown down by the wind. A face is getting more and more wooden. Even the usual caution before is gone, and the eyes are empty, and if you don't look carefully, it's a living dead, an empty shell.

In the evening, Ning Nianzhi and Yuan Dongliang mentioned it, and they both sighed a little: "If she could open her mouth and ask her grandmother for a maid or something, her life would be better, but she seems to be scared now, and she doesn't even dare to come to our house." ”

Yuan Dongliang raised his eyebrows and asked, "How long has she not been here?" ”

Ning Nianzhi calculated carefully: "It's been more than half a month, and I used to come back once every three or five days." If you want me to say, the original step-ancestor is not a good thing, knowing that his wife is suffering, but he turns a blind eye, and even helps the abuse to help the Miao family conceal it, he thinks he is filial, but in fact it is just a nest. ”

Yuan Dongliang laughed: "What the lady said makes sense, a manly husband, he can respect his elders, he can take care of his younger generations, and he must be able to protect his wife in the middle. Don't worry, your man is a man who stands up to the sky, and he will definitely not let you be wronged in the future. ”

Ning Nianzhi pinched him hard: "Talking about the third brother and sister, you have to open the topic again, isn't it possible that you should not do it to my number?" Do you want me to give you credit for it? ”

"That's not necessary, I just want you to reward a kiss." Yuan Dongliang shamelessly leaned his cheek over, Ning Nianzhi kissed him perfunctorily on the face, and was a little annoyed: "Brother Guang'er has been teething during this time, and I bit it so much when I was breastfeeding." ”

Yuan Dongliang frowned: "Then it's better to wean?" ”

"It's only been six months, what's the hurry? Other people's children are still nursing when they are two or three years old. Ning Nianzhi hurriedly said, Yuan Dongliang sighed: "I always feel that since I have a child, the most important person in your heart has become him, in the past, you would always worry about my food and clothing, but now you are not leaving him, you have changed your mind." ”

The corners of Ning Nianzhi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but take the pillow and stretched out his hand to twitch: "That's also your son." ”

"Hey, just because he's my son, I have to try my best to beat him, it's really too distressing, I knew that we would have had a baby later." As he spoke, he stretched out his thief's hand and wrapped it around Ning Nianzhi's waist: "Or, let's have another daughter?" It's the same as you, in this way, in the future, you will eat your daughter's vinegar, and I won't have to eat our son's vinegar anymore, okay, let's have another one? ”

"No, itchy, the lights haven't been turned off yet."

"Leave the lights alone and concentrate."
