This is also the story of the little people, say it in advance, don't order if you don't like it. But the author really wants to explain it, and it should be the little brother later. Hee hee ^^)

It's almost the New Year, and in front of an inconspicuous pharmacy in the capital, there are people standing in line. This is a common thing, and before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they are afraid of illness and avoid doctors, so the general patients will prepare enough medicine in advance to save the New Year's Eve to touch this mold.

However, unlike the family members of patients in other places who always like to ask questions, the family members of patients who come to buy medicine here bury their heads very low, and their mouths are like sawn gourds, and they are silent, as if they are afraid that people will recognize them.

Neighbors who are familiar with the details of the pharmacy know that there is no other reason for this, because the doctor in this pharmacy is the best at treating brain diseases.

Eight of the ten people who came to see the doctor were people from the family who were delirious. It's either crazy or stupid, it's more taboo than any evil disease.

In the medicine hall, a delicate woman wearing a green jacket begged in a low voice, "Doctor, please do well, just give me a few pairs of medicine." My sister-in-law will also take your medicine to sleep well. After the New Year, we will definitely pay back the money. ”

The doctor didn't say anything, and the young man next to him spoke, "It's not that we are ruthless, but you have to be considerate of our difficulties." See for yourself how much you owe this bill? The money you took today is not enough to pay off last year's account, and now you have to come on credit again, and you still owe so much, so how can we give it to you? ”

The woman's face was full of embarrassment, and such a dark complexion, against the background of the green jacket, which had become slightly old, showed more and more a shabby color like an outdated green vegetable, so that the originally delicate eyebrows lost their color.

She wrung her hands crampedly and opened her mouth in embarrassment, "I also know, this ...... It's been a long time on credit, but isn't it going to be the New Year? Otherwise, I don't want so much, you can give half of it on credit, and give half of it, okay? ”

The young man endured the words for a long time, and finally said, "Sister-in-law Lu, I know that your family is not having a good time now. But it's not easy, this debt is always repaid, right? You're just really embarrassed, so let's pay some back first, and we'll just turn a blind eye and take it over. But what about you, you took so many medicines last year, and you hid without a trace, and went to the door several times to ask for it, but you hid in the house and locked the door and pretended not to be there, but now you came to beg us again, is there anyone who does this? “、”

Xiao Lu's face was red with shame, and he no longer had the face to say anything about credit, but the doctor glanced at her, but sighed, and ordered the little apprentice, "Go, grab two pairs of medicines for her, at least let people have a good Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year." ”

Xiao Lu had tears in his eyes, but he couldn't say words of gratitude, the doctor shook his head, waved his hand generously, and called the next one.

Carrying two pairs of medicines, the woman hurried with her head buried, and almost crashed into a carriage at the mouth of the alley.

"What's the matter with you woman? Don't you have eyes? ”

The coachman scolded unhappily, Xiao Lu hurriedly bowed his head to apologize, and unexpectedly a man got off the carriage and relieved her, "Forget it, she didn't mean it, Lao Zhou, you drive the car back first, I'll buy the medicine and go back." ”

Looking at this man's dress, he is a housekeeper, he is nearly fifty years old, but he is well-maintained, he looks only in his early forties, and he looks very generous and gentle.

But Xiao Lu looked at him, but he was a little uneasy. But he still bowed and shouted, "Steward Cheng." ”

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, the coachman dragged a cart of New Year's goods away with great interest.

The steward Cheng looked at the two packets of medicine in Lu's hand and the old clothes on his body, "What's the matter, there is no money again?" ”

Xiao Lu's face blushed even more, "No...... No, my sister-in-law has been much better lately......"

Steward Cheng looked left and right, "This is not the place to talk, you come with me." ”

"No need, don't delay you!" Xiao Lu shook his head again and again, so embarrassed that the tip of his nose was about to sweat, and he turned around and wanted to leave.

But Steward Cheng grabbed her hand and stuffed a small ingot of silver into her palm, "Take it, it's not good to pull and pull on the street." ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Xiao Lu wanted to chase, but he couldn't move. Looking at the eyes of others again, she left as if she had fled, and the silver in her palm hurt people, but she didn't dare to let go no matter what.

It wasn't until she returned home in one breath that her heart settled down a little.

This is a good mansion, but Xiao Lu's entered through a corner door that had only been opened for a few years at the back door. There was a high fence that cut off the few low houses in this corner from the mansion that had been exposed to the sun for many years.

The yard is very dilapidated, especially in winter, the morning glory on the half wall is in ashes, and there is a kind of depression when you look at it.

"Don't come, don't come!"

"Silly boy, I'm my mother, let my mother wipe your face, okay?"

"Don't! Are you trying to kill me? It's because you want to strangle me, so I won't be fooled! ”

……

When I got to the door, I heard such a similar conversation. Xiao Lu went from being sad and crying at the beginning, but now he only stopped for a while and went back to the house.

After putting the medicine in the cupboard, she moved a small horse to the palm-sized yard to wash clothes.

Because there is a crazy sister-in-law in the family, she will always make herself a mess, so she will also have dirty clothes that can never be washed.

But who is to blame for this?

Xiao Lu didn't want to think about it for the time being, but someone didn't let her be at peace.

After washing two pieces, the nine-year-old daughter came back crying, and her son, who was two years older than her, also brought a body of sludge and bruised eyes, and said negatively, "Mother, shall we send my aunt away?" With her, everyone else bullied us, even uncles, aunts, cousins and cousins stopped interacting with us. ”

In normal times, Xiao Lu would have persuaded her with good words, but today, she didn't know where a nameless evil fire came from, and she immediately roared, "No matter how bad she is, she is also your aunt." In those years you ate and drank her, and you did not speak. Now that she has suffered and sent people away, do you still have a conscience? You're so idle, why don't you do these chores! ”

She threw away her clothes, turned and went back to her room, slamming the door shut, and she was visibly angry.

And soon, there was a whimper from the mother-in-law next door, "It's your aunt who is not good, and now it has affected you, but we are always a family......"

In the obviously weak cry, a pair of children returned to the house with cold faces.

Xiao Lu covered his ears tightly in irritability, as if he could pull himself out of this home.

But is this possible?

As if a ghost made a mistake, she took out the ingot of silver again, although it was a little smaller, but it was enough for six or seven dollars, enough for the whole family to live for a while, is it possible?

Xiao Lu was in a very chaotic mood.

She was originally the daughter of a good family, although she was not a daughter, but she was born to be served, and she never did any housework. But in the past few years, look at her hands, what are they about to grind into?

All of this was given by her sister-in-law, the third girl of the Lu family.

Xiao Lu has always had mixed feelings about this sister-in-law.

I envy her talent, admire her unrelenting efforts to achieve her goals, and her resoluteness and ruthlessness in revenge.

It was wrong for the father-in-law to spoil the concubine and kill his wife back then, but later, in order to vent her anger, the sister-in-law humiliated him before her father-in-law's death, and even married the first two concubines so cheaply, which also made Xiao Lu's heart tremble.

But it can't be said that she is wrong, after all, what the sister-in-law is fighting for is their interests, right?

It's just that no one knows when this sister-in-law has changed little by little. Or rather, slowly peeling off her old disguises.

Xiao Lu didn't want to think about those things, but when this sister-in-law returned to the capital and returned to the queen's mother, she began to feel uneasy at that time, she was afraid that this sister-in-law would climb too high and fall too hard.

It's a pity that it turned out to be so.

No one knew what had happened, and in the days after the death of the emperor, she suddenly went crazy. Anyone who came near her, she would say that someone else was going to kill her, and then desperately shouted, "It's not me, don't look for me!" ”

The palace didn't even bother to kill her, so they didn't bother to dirty their hands, and sent people back directly.

Since then, the Lu family has fallen into a quagmire.

First of all, all the children of the Lu family who served in the palace were dismissed, not even apprentices or people who were involved in the border. Then, they were not allowed to leave Beijing with their whole family, and they had to be inspected by the government every month to see if there were any sneakers.

Such a collective unemployment and a slap in the face, for the royal chef family who rely on their craftsmanship to eat, they are not stingy to cut off their livelihood.

forced the old and young masters in the house to pick and choose in the past, and they could only commission the Ququ to rely on the fields and shops and other industries that were placed in front of them to make a living. Some people who don't have the ability can only find a small restaurant to be in charge.

And all of this was brought by Lu Ying.

The Lu family hated and poisoned her.

But at first, Xiao Lu was very sympathetic to his sister-in-law.

Look at the green jacket on her body, it was still very glamorous a few years ago. This is good material in the palace, the sister-in-law gave her, even though this sister-in-law has a thousand mistakes, but she is really not stingy with her relatives.

In fact, she has many advantages.

Like in the early years, when Xiao Lu first got married, he saw this sister-in-law fighting against the people of Yifu in order to protect her cowardly mother and brother. That's not what ordinary girls can do, Xiao Lu admits that he can't do it.

But her heart is too high, just like the morning glory on the wall, she has already climbed to the head, and she still wants to climb up, but if she climbs over the wall, she has to fall down?

She just can't see through it and refuses to accept her fate.

However, even if she was unwilling to marry and ran away from Beijing, although Xiao Lu was surprised, she still had some admiration for this maverick and fearless sister-in-law.

Especially when she kept sending back so much money later, it made her have a better impression of her. She even thought that if this sister-in-law was not a woman, but a boy, she was afraid that she would make great achievements.

But what about now?

Xiao Lu hooked the corners of his mouth sneeringly, when the gray morning glory and spring flowers bloomed, what about her? It's worse than a dead man.

Because of Lu Ying's madness, it affected the whole family again, and the Lu family was going to drive their whole family out of the house. Xiao Lu's unreliable mother-in-law and Xianggong actually discussed, gave all the family property, and left a dilapidated small courtyard in this corner for their family.

At that time, Xiao Lu felt that it was inappropriate. With the money they had in their hands at that time, where was it bad? Why are you angry here?

But the mother-in-law and the father-in-law were protected for a lifetime, for fear that there would be no one to protect them if they left the family, so they didn't even say hello and confiscated the money.

Now, they know how stupid they were.

took so much money, only in exchange for such a small piece of land, and the high wall didn't pay any attention to them at all, but begged for it with a dead face, at most it was thirty or fifty yuan, and the creditor's expression was on his face.

Thinking of the grievances suffered over the years because of lack of money, the ridicule on Xiao Lu's face became even stronger.

These two mothers and sons have been guarded by that sister-in-law all their lives, and now, it is time for them to repay their debts.

But why should you drag yourself and a pair of children?

Looking in the mirror, she is actually not too old, in her early thirties, she is still slender and beautiful. Otherwise, that Cheng steward wouldn't have always wanted to seduce her after recognizing her.

Man, don't look like you're pretending to be sanctimonious, it's not all the same if you really blow the lamp?

That's what Wu's sister-in-law on the street in front of her said. She is a secret doorman, and sometimes her man's small business can't be opened, so she takes on some shady private work underneath.

"Really close your eyes and lie down on the kang, and treat people as your man. Speaking from the heart, that's happier than two people doing that. This was the last time she whispered a joke to herself.

Xiao Lu knew that she was luring her into the water.

That sister-in-law Wu is getting older, and her appearance is not as good as before, so she naturally wants to find a few families to earn some referral money. But if you want to do it, why should you earn it for her? Just look for the steward of Nacheng......

Sky!

Xiao Lu suddenly woke up, covering her face tightly, what was she thinking? That's someone who can be her own father, even if she is the same age, she can't move such thoughts!

No, she has to find something to do, find something to do so that she doesn't think cranky.

When he went out of the room, he saw his honest and honest husband, and his expression was very unnatural and he came back with Sister-in-law Wu.

What's going on?

With a hypocritical smile, Sister-in-law Wu said to them, "...... The Wang family on the street in front of him, isn't this begging for a daughter-in-law who has never given birth? So I want to come to the door to pawn my wife. ”

Xiao Lu's color changed suddenly, and then he looked at her husband, "You dare!" In that case, I'd rather be dismissed! ”

The Wang family is so poor that there are three brothers, and they only begged for a daughter-in-law, and they cried and howled all night long, and the daughter-in-law was about to be tossed and by adults, how could she have the ability to have children?

Sister-in-law Wu hurriedly said, "You misunderstood, it's not you who wants to pawn, it's your sister-in-law." ”

"I disagree!"

The mother-in-law, who was worried about her almost gray hair, stood up and looked at her son with anger on her face, "How can you treat your sister like this?" ”

The man didn't dare to answer, but Wu's sister-in-law said, "Then the Wang family should promise to take good care of your daughter, as long as she gives birth to a son, she will return the person immediately." It's not for me to say that you are in this situation, it is better to send her out and find a way out. ”

Suddenly, a pair of children also ran out, "But it's dangerous to get pregnant and give birth, right?" My aunt didn't understand anything. ”

But their father said with a look of chagrin and self-reproach, "Last month, I burned a very expensive dish and was fired from the restaurant...... Our family really can't afford to support your aunt. ”

Lu Wenshi was so shocked that he couldn't even say anything to refute.

Seeing that the matter seemed to be settled, Xiao Lu suddenly sneered, "In this case, please ask Sister-in-law Wu to come with me and go next door to make things clear." ”

Seeing her husband's expression on her husband's face as if she had to talk about such a humiliating thing, Xiao Lu sneered in her heart, she really should let her sister-in-law sober up and see what kind of face her family members she has been trying to maintain for more than ten years.

Knowing that it was a shameful thing, he would still be told to agree? If it weren't for the two minor children, she would have left it alone now.

But she couldn't.

She can't let her sister-in-law be calculated, and then it will be her turn, and then she will fall into a dye vat and get blacker and blacker, and finally she can't get up, so she has to earn a way to live for herself and her children.

Sure enough, when that layer of skin is removed, there is nothing that cannot be done.

When she pulled Wu's sister-in-law, broke into the Lu family, and publicized that she was going to send her sister-in-law to give birth to a child in her womb, the Lu family was not calm.

Even if Lu Ying affects the whole family, as long as she bears this surname Lu for a day, the Lu family can't let her be embarrassed.

scolded Wu's sister-in-law on the spot and drove her out of the door, but behind closed doors, she started Tai Chi one by one.

Since Xiao Lu dared to come, he was no longer afraid of offending people," ...... If you don't want to return the money of the year, go and kill your sister-in-law, otherwise if you continue to force it, we won't be able to do any ugly things, and then don't blame us for being tired. ”

Sometimes between people, the bet is which one dares to open up.

The Lu family discussed again and again, and finally compromised. It is impossible to return the family property confiscated into the public school, but it is promised that the family's share every month will be taken care of, and the birth, old age, sickness and death of the family in the future, and the children's education and marriage will also be taken care of by the government.

Xiao Lu was afraid that they would find an excuse to regret it in the future, so he forced him to write down the paperwork, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

returned to the palm-sized courtyard, looking at the sister-in-law with dull eyes and who was already too thin to be human-shaped, her heart was filled with a faint pity.

This is the last thing she did for her, just to repay the love she had taken care of herself for so many years.

Turning her head again, looking at the respectful and fearful gaze of her mother-in-law and husband, her heart suddenly became clear.

In fact, even if a woman is willing to stand up, how can she have a hurdle that she can't overcome?

Even if she is just a humble wall flower, as long as she climbs the pole seriously, what are the hardships that can't be overcome?

My sister-in-law is thinking to the left, so she will go the wrong way. But she won't, so she will do better than my sister-in-law.

Although her mother-in-law and husband can't count on it, there is still hope for her children, she teaches them well, and when they all start a family in the future, maybe she can enjoy some late happiness.

As for the ingots, huh! That old pervert dares to give, what else is she embarrassed to spend?

If you don't exchange it for copper coins, wait for the next meeting,
