Chapter 25 Cabbage, turnips, melons

"You money-losers, don't say I don't have anything for you. You keep these sheep for yourselves," Wang Yueying and the others were going to Hexia Village to buy sheep, and as soon as the carriage arrived at the head of the village, they heard a sharp female voice.

Wang Yueying poked her head out and looked, she was not curious about other people's family affairs, but when she heard the man talk about sheep, she thought that her luck was too good, and if she wanted to buy sheep, she would have sheep.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, I saw a tall and thin woman with her waist crossed and cursing at the three little girls, standing in front of her was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, the thin little girl was holding a bamboo pole in her hand and looked at the woman with an angry face, behind her a girl about twenty years old with a blue coarse cloth on her face tightly hugged a little girl of five or six years old, the little girl seemed to be sick, and her hands and feet hung weakly to the side.

A thin and slightly hunched middle-aged man next to him stood behind the woman, as if he wanted to pull her, but he was pushed to the ground by the woman.

A girl with a snow-white face next to her ran over to help the middle-aged man and sneered at the woman, "Mother, just drive them away, why do you push Daddy." ”

"You take your dad back. He is here to be troubled. The woman glanced back at the cowering middle-aged man and commanded.

The middle-aged man glanced at the three little girls opposite, plucked up the courage to push his daughter's hand away and walked to the woman's side, "Su Niang, they are all my sister's children, I promised my sister to take care of them, besides"

Before he could finish speaking, the woman called Su Niang snorted, ignoring the pointing and pointing of the onlookers, and pounced on her while beating and scolding, "I see that you are angry like this, you useless things, you can't eat enough, and you want to raise a baby for others." Since I married you, I haven't had a good life for a day, I have been a slave to you in your Cen family, you don't have to support our mother and daughter if you raise them, I will take the child back to my parents' house"

The masked girl saw that the middle-aged man was beaten by Su Niang and had no power to fight back, so she sighed softly, "Uncle, our sisters are leaving, don't quarrel." ”

"No, you can't go, where can you stay if you don't live at your uncle's house" As soon as the middle-aged man heard the girl say that she wanted to leave, he wanted to keep them regardless of his wife's scolding.

"No need uncle, this world is big, there is always a place for our sisters." The masked girl was very indifferent, and she could see that her family was very well educated.

"Yes, uncle, go back." The angry girl listened to her sister and followed.

"Then I'll ask my aunt to return the money to you" The middle-aged man still has some true feelings for these three sisters, but he is just inferior to the tigress in the family.

"What kind of money do you have, they don't need money to live in my house, they don't need money to eat and drink, the money has long been spent, there is no more, just these few sheep, if you want it, don't forget it." Su Niang crackled as soon as she heard the money.

"No need for uncle, we still have to thank our uncle and aunt for taking care of us." The masked woman thanked softly.

"It's good if you know, then these sheep will be given to you, don't say we don't care about you." Su Niang heard that they were willing to go, and she didn't care so much, so she took her husband and daughter and went home.

Although the middle-aged man was reluctant to leave, he was supported by his wife and daughter, and he could only sigh. Seeing this, the onlookers next to them comforted the three sisters and left one after another.

"Eldest sister, what should we do now?" The girl who had been strong just now turned to the masked girl when she saw them go away.

"It's okay, let's sell these sheep first, and treat my little sister first." My father and mother are gone, and I have to take care of my sisters, and the masked girl cheers herself up while comforting her second sister.

"Little sister, I just want to buy sheep, why don't you sell me your sheep." Wang Yueying saw that the ewe seemed to have just given birth and was lactating, and the other lambs were also good.

"Who are you?" The little girl with the bamboo pole stood up and looked at Wang Yueying with a wary face.

"I'm from Hetou Village, and I'm going to buy sheep today, if you don't believe it, you can ask him, he is our village head." Wang Yueying pointed to the village chief on the side to prove that the village chiefs of the two villages are in-laws and often move around, so everyone in the village knows each other.

"Second sister, put down the bamboo pole." A soft and weak voice came, and the little girl looked at Wang Yueying and the others, put down the bamboo pole and stood beside the two sisters.

The masked girl staggered to her feet with the child in her arms, walked up to Wang Yueying and the others, and bent down slightly, "Our three sisters are penniless now, and it is best for Mrs. to buy this sheep, but this mutton is not delicious, and Mrs. has to think twice if she wants to buy it." ”

Wang Yueying looked at the three sisters, although the eldest sister couldn't see her appearance with her face covered, but her face looked very haggard, and the girl with the bamboo pole stood aside straight, but she was also skinny, not to mention the sick child in her arms. They themselves have fallen into such a predicament, and they can still think about others, which shows that they have good character. My family is now old and young, and it is the time when I need people, so I might as well ask them if they would like to go home with me.

"I want to buy this sheep, but I see that you are also homeless, why don't you come to my house, my family is short of people now, you can come to my house to work."

"Thank you, madam, it's okay if I can sell myself into slavery, it's just my sisters" The masked girl thought that Wang Yueying wanted to buy them.

As the saying goes, "the eldest sister is like a mother" is true, this girl herself is only in her twenties, and she has to take on such a family responsibility, and she would rather sell herself as a slave than let her sisters become slaves, Wang Yueying admired in her heart.

"I don't need you to sell yourself, you just want to be my family worker, and you don't have to become a slave." As a modern person, I really don't have the idea of enslaving others, and I bought Lao Suntou's family to help him pay off his debts. In my opinion, everyone is just a simple employment relationship.

When the masked girl heard Wang Yueying say this, she put down the big stone in her heart, pulled her sister and knelt down at Wang Yueying and said, "Thank you, Madame, for saving your life, if it weren't for Madame, our sisters really don't know what to do." ”

"No thanks, I hired you to help me work, you can work more seriously in the future." Wang Yueying was very happy in her heart, this was really killing two birds with one stone, and now the two things that bothered her were solved, "By the way, what are your names?" ”

"My name is Hu Cabbage, the second sister carrot, and the third sister courgette." Cabbage? Turnip? Guagua? Wang Yueying felt that her name was down-to-earth enough, and she couldn't imagine that the names of these three sisters were even more bizarre.

"Okay, cabbage, then let's go home first, your little sister seems to be sick, and if you want to go back, please ask Lang Zhong to come over and take a look." Through the last contact, Wang Yueying felt that Zhang Langzhong's medical skills were still good.

"Yueniang, I have something to do to find the village chief of Xia Cen, I will help you drive this sheep back later. You take the children to Zhang Langzhong first. Seeing that there were so many people, the carriage couldn't sit down, so the village chief arranged.

"Then it's going to be a problem for the village chief." Wang Yueying was not polite to the village chief, thanked her, and took the children to the carriage to rush home.

"This kid has a high fever, you have to get rid of the high fever quickly, otherwise you will burn out your brain." Zhang Langzhong checked Guagua's pulse.

"It's simple, Granny Sun, you go to Nabaichuan to come over that bottle of liquor." In modern times, everyone knows that soju is used for physical heat dissipation, and as soon as Wang Yueying heard that the heat was to be dissipated, she told Grandma Sun to get wine.

"Oh, okay, I'll go." After Granny Sun finished speaking, she ran out.

"Does this wine reduce fever?" This Yueniang always has strange ideas, so that children can drink and not get drunk, Zhang Langzhong has some doubts about Wang Yueying's methods.

"I've heard the elderly in my family mention that rubbing your body with wine can reduce fever. Now I can only try. "Anyway, the old people in the family are basically gone, and they can't ask why.

It didn't take long for Wang Zicheng to run in with a jar of wine, "I'll run faster, I'll send it over first." ”

"Radish, bring the basin and towel." Wang Yueying opened the wine jar and ordered, "You big men go out first and wait." ”

Zhang Langzhong wanted to stay and see how Wang Yueying reduced fever, but he didn't think of the matter of male and female defense, and when he heard Wang Yueying's eviction order, he couldn't help but blush, and chattered while walking out, "Yueniang, you will tell me how to use wine to reduce fever later." ”

"Got it, you go to the yard for a cup of tea first." Wang Yueying poured the wine into the basin while driving people away, afraid that the degree would be too high and it would be bad, so she added some water to it, "Cabbage, you take off Guagua's clothes." ”

Seeing that they had gone out to close the door, Cabbage nodded and took off Guagua's small clothes, Wang Yueying saw that Guagua's whole person was red, and his face was very hot. Put the towel into the basin and wet it until it is half dry, then grab Guagua's little arms and calves and gently wipe it, "Cabbage, wet another towel, wipe Guagua's stomach and soles of feet." Radish, dip some water on Guagua's lips. These lips are dry and cracked. ”

"Huh." Radish picked up the small cup on the table, took out a small handkerchief and moistened it, and gently wiped it on Guagua's lips.

Wang Yueying watched their sisters take care of their sister carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, more brothers and sisters are better. Those who love each other, like Bo Xun and Guanguan, usually take care of each other, "Okay." You don't have to keep rubbing it, otherwise the fever will subside later, and you will faint from this wine. ”

Wang Yueying's rare humor made the cabbage and radish also breathe a sigh of relief, gathered around the bed and watched, Wang Yueying asked the cabbage to put on a middle coat for Guagua, and wrung a wet towel with water and put it on Guagua's forehead.

"It's okay, I'll wake up later, I'll go get a juice for Guagua." Fresh fruit and vegetable juice is rich in vitamins and minerals, which can replenish the substances she needs in time, "You look at her, and let Zhang Langzhong check the pulse later." ”

"Well, thank you, ma'am." Cabbage and radish knelt down.

"Don't kneel at every turn, you don't need that in our house. Remembered. After Wang Yueying finished speaking, she walked out the door, she really didn't know how to face the person who knelt down to her.
