In the west chamber, Aunt Qin and Zhu Xiaoyue were accompanying Gu Sanniang, Xiao Yezi was hiding alone in the kitchen to boil water, she listened to her mother's sobbing in her ears, and tears couldn't help but flow, but as long as her father was still alive, her uncle's family would not dare to be so rampant, and now that she and her mother were left, life was difficult enough, and their mother and daughter had to be rubbed by her uncle.

Xiao Yezi was in a daze, until the water was hot, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, scooped up another basin of hot water, and brought it outside.

Gu Sanniang was crying, and when she saw Xiao Yezi coming in, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, Xiao Yezi lowered her head and twisted a handkerchief and handed it to her mother, and said softly: "Mother, you wash your face." ”

Gu Sanniang silently took the handkerchief and wiped her face, Zhu Xiaoyue, who was sitting next to her, recombed her hair bun for her, and gently tried the blood marks on her face, and said in her mouth: "Good face, the old shrew scratched it is all bloody, you should cover it tightly when you go out these days, or you should leave a scar." ”

Gu Sanniang was still in the mood to pay attention to the scratched scars on her face, she was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is Lin Zi back, and what does the chief plan to do with them?" ”

Aunt Qin glanced outside, and she said: "Don't worry, I went to see it just now, the chief and Lin Zi are torturing the two of them, those two bad breeds are bluffing like mice who have seen cats, the chief said, you don't have to go over, they will send them away." ”

Gu Sanniang put her mind at ease, no matter how fierce Wang Jinsuo was in front of her, it was just a dealer who had never seen the world after all, and with Qin Lin's quick arrest to scare him a few words, they must be honest.

Thinking that it was to relax, Gu Sanniang found that her bones were sore, and her arms were so numb that she couldn't lift them, Aunt Qin tapped her forehead with her fingers, and said angrily: "Now I know that it hurts, then I see that you are anxious and red-eyed, if you are not pulled by someone, I am afraid that you will really drag your concubine to jump into the well!" ”

Gu Sanniang pursed her lips and snorted softly, she said: "I have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, they are all living well, why should I die?" After a pause, Gu Sanniang continued to speak, and she said with a cold face: "But if they really push me into a desperate situation, I am not afraid of death." ”

"Full of nonsense!" Aunt Qin pretended to glare at her, and she said, "If a person dies, there will be nothing!" People like us who have nothing to do with it, at most, they shed a few tears when they think about it, and the most bitter thing is the child, without a father and a mother, which will be cost-effective for her? The child is afraid that he will have to live like this for the rest of his life. ”

Xiao Yezi, who was standing not far away, listened to her mother's talk about death, tears had already swirled in her eyes, and when she heard Aunt Qin's words, tears finally burst out of her eyes, but she still remembered that her mother had said that tears were useless, so she had to bury her head and dare not let her mother see it.

Gu Sanniang looked at Xiao Yezi's trembling shoulders, and couldn't help but regret that what she had just said hurt her heart, she said to her, "Yezi, come here." ”

Xiao Yezi stood still at first, and after a while, she rubbed in front of her mother. Gu Sanniang touched her hair, held back her tears and said, "What your Grandma Qin said is very true, as long as people have a hope, they can live well, you are the hope of your mother." ”

Xiao Yezi couldn't hold it back any longer, she cried out with a 'wow', hearing her daughter's cry, Gu Sanniang's heart seemed to be torn apart, she hugged Xiao Yezi and gently coaxed her in her mouth, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Qin family saw the mother and daughter who were dependent on each other, and each quietly turned her back to wipe her tears.

Xiao Yezi cried for a long time, and then gradually stopped, after she cried like this, the originally depressed atmosphere was a little better, Zhu Xiaoyue found clean clothes for Gu Sanniang to change for her, and deliberately joked: "No wonder you got up early in the morning to sharpen the kitchen knife, it turned out that your eldest uncle was going to come to the door to make trouble, this is to prepare to deal with them?" ”

Aunt Qin snorted and laughed, she looked at her daughter-in-law, and said: "You are also stupid, I saw Sanniang's kitchen knife blunt a few days ago, no matter whether they come or not, she also wants to sharpen the kitchen knife." ”

Zhu Xiaoyue smiled, isn't it, even if Gu Sanniang really hated those people in her husband's family, she was a woman after all, how could she dare to take it seriously.

"I'm in a hurry, that kitchen knife can also be used!" Gu Sanniang said.

Zhu Xiaoyue shook her head, and she said to Gu Sanniang: "After this day, I'm afraid that your pungent reputation will spread." ”

Gu Sanniang is not afraid of being made fun of, as long as she can suppress Wang Jinsuo. Aunt Qin in the house is as young and widowed as her, and she can best understand what happened to Sanniang, when she was widowed with Qin Lin, many relatives of her husband's family stared at her property, if she didn't defend it, and her mother's brother helped her, where would there be their mother and son in this property.

Aunt Qin turned her head to look at Zhu Xiaoyue, she sighed and said: "Who doesn't want to be a little lady quietly, it's just that there is a lack of top men in the family, doesn't Sanniang have to take advantage of it, but if they show a little weakness, no matter who they are, they can come to the door to bully their mothers and sons." ”

Listening to her mother-in-law's words, Zhu Xiaoyue nodded, at this moment, Qin Lin came back, Aunt Qin walked to the door of the West Chamber, she asked, "What about the two of them?" ”

Qin Lin replied: "After being beaten by fat, the chief of the security department greeted each family, and they were not allowed to step into our alley again, if there is a next time, see each other and fight once." ”

Aunt Qin nodded with satisfaction, then Qin Lin still needs to be on an errand, and after passing this sentence, he took the courtyard gate and went out.

Qin Lin's words just now, Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi had heard it in the house, and the mother and daughter were relieved, especially Xiao Yezi, when she heard that the uncle was going to take her back, she bluffed the six gods and had no master, and the whole person was always scared. It wasn't until this time that I barely bothered to pick myself up.

After making trouble for most of the day, Gu Sanniang was tired and tired, Qin Auntie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw this, so they told her to rest, and said that they would go to Xiuzhuang for her to ask for leave later, Gu Sanniang said thank you, and personally sent their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out, and then went back to the house to lie down.

After a while, Gu Sanniang fell asleep in a daze, for some reason, she suddenly dreamed of the old things many years ago, when her stepmother had just entered the door, coaxing her father to buy her clothes and shoes and socks, her father had no money in his hand, so he gave Gu Sanniang a pair of cotton shoes made for her by her mother, just because the cotton shoes were made by her mother, so Gu Sanniang cherished it very much, and was reluctant to put her feet, in order to get back the shoes, she made a big fuss with her stepmother, and the stepmother threw the shoes into the stove in a fit of anger and burned them, and her second sister was afraid that she would freeze her feet. gave her his old cotton shoes, and comforted her, saying that when she grew up, she would marry a good family, and she would make her whatever kind of shoes she wanted to wear in the future.

Unconsciously, Gu Sanniang cried, and when she opened her eyes, her heart was still beating suddenly, and she couldn't tell whether she was asleep or not, thinking of the second sister who was still missing, Gu Sanniang's chest seemed to be pressed on a boulder, and now her second sister's face was a little blurred, she only remembered that she was very good to herself, and there would always be something delicious for her, so many years have passed, and they can't see their sisters, Gu Sanniang doesn't ask for anything else, as long as her second sister is still alive, it's enough.

Sitting on the kang for a long time, Gu Sanniang got up and walked outside, only to see Xiao Yezi washing her changed clothes, because the cotton clothes in winter were thick, she was very difficult to wash them, and the royal brother of the Shen Zhuo family was squatting beside her and watching her do things.

"Aunt Gu, you're awake!" Brother Yu was the first to see Gu Sanniang, he stood up and looked at her with blank eyes, his father said, Aunt Gu has been uncomfortable these days, and he wants him to go to the Gu family more, if he can make Aunt Gu happy, even the homework will be waived for him.

Gu Sanniang was a little awkward, she was angry with Shen Zhuo in her heart, and she had originally made up her mind not to pay attention to the people of their Shen family, but she was looked at by Brother Yu'er's watery eyes, as if she had committed some kind of crime if she ignored him, so she nodded, and responded dryly.

Brother Yu walked in front of Gu Sanniang, he frowned at the scars on her face, and said worriedly: "This must be painful, Aunt Gu, if you squat down and I will give you a snort, it will definitely be better faster." ”

Gu Sanniang is no matter how angry she is, she disappeared without a trace at this moment, her little leaf talks little, usually like a little adult, although she is sensible and steady, but she has never liked to be coquettish and stupid in front of her, but it is Brother Yu'er, not only looks like a boy who ran down from the New Year's painting, but also has a very sweet mouth, and none of the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who live in this alley do not like him.

At this time, Brother Yu'er said such intimate words, which made Gu Sanniang's heart soften immediately, she secretly thought to herself, it is an adult's business to be confused, and what does it have to do with his little child's family.

"Auntie is fine, why did you run out now." The sound of reading can still be heard in the east chamber opposite, usually at this time, Brother Yu is sitting in the house for class, today he ran out of the class, how can I not see Shen Zhuo to call him back.

Brother Yu shook his little head and said, "I would have memorized the books taught by my father today, so I came out to rest, and my father also knew about it." ”

Gu Sanniang touched his head, praised him in her mouth, she looked at Xiao Yezi again and said, "You and Brother Yu'er go to the naughty, I will wash this clothes." ”

Xiao Yezi said while rubbing his clothes: "No, mother, you go and rest, I will wash this clothes in a while." ”

Gu Sanniang knew that she was bluffing her in the morning, and said in a soft voice: "I'll come, the market hasn't dispersed yet, and after the clothes are washed, my mother will take you out for a walk." ”

She took Xiao Yezi to move to the county seat for so many days, and she had never taken her seriously to visit the county, and today she had a fight with Wang Jinsuo and the two, and took a day off in vain, and their mother and daughter were just able to go out for a walk.

After that, she turned her head to Yu Ge'er and said, "Is Yu Ge'er going?" ”

Brother Yu held his small belly and said loudly: "Go!" ”

That Gu Sanniang drove Xiao Yezi aside, she rolled up her sleeves, and in less than half a day, she finished washing her clothes, and Brother Yu went back to the East Chamber to say to Shen Zhuo, Shen Zhuo was no longer unwilling, this Gu Sanniang took the hands of the two children, wrapped their faces in a headscarf and went out.
