"Baby, you have to be your own **, learn to live by yourself, sharpen, exercise, and rely on yourself for everything." Chu Ying's mind echoed over and over again what her mother said before sending her to the military academy.

I can only rely on myself, and since my father was with other women and abandoned my mother, I have understood that no one can be relied on, except for myself, only myself will never leave myself.

Chu Ying opened her eyes and looked at the dark room, and after a while she got used to the darkness, she got up and put on her winter clothes and walked outside, there was no way, life was forced, at that time, her mother worked three jobs a day to support herself and her sister, and she was sensible early.

Chu Ying looked at the door with a few chickens pecking at the door, and the hens were looking for something in the vegetable patch, Chu Ying sprinkled some chestnut powder on the ground, because it was dark and she didn't know how much she had sprinkled, she couldn't fall down, she couldn't collapse, at least these chickens still needed to take care of herself.

What's so terrible about not having a house, at least I'm still alive, this is already the greatest gift, Chu Ying lit the pine resin candle, walked slowly on the road, inspected his wheat field, and looked at the grove in the distance, in fact, he was still very rich, and he couldn't completely deny what he had because he lost some.

Just like ignoring his mother's love when he lost his father when he was a child, in fact, he really had a lot, but he never noticed it, Chu Ying looked at the bright stars in the sky, and didn't know if his mother's rheumatism was strict, which was the root of the disease caused by hard work in his early years.

Chu Ying grabbed the chicks and hens back to the chicken coop in the shed, put some chestnut powder and closed the door, Chu Ying didn't want them to go into his trap, this was bought with money, and it would be a pity if he was injured if he hadn't raised eggs yet.

Chu Ying took a few deep breaths, boiled some water with the broken half of the clay pot, soaked some chestnut powder, and waited until the person had warmed up a little before entering the house to rest, lying on the ground and touching the silver lid, Chu Ying didn't know if to go directly to Bai Yuhe to ask.

This matter was not as simple as she originally thought, and it wasn't until Chu Ying asked the people in Bai Yuhe's village what happened to their family recently that she knew that Bai Yuhe might have really done something unforgivable to herself.

"A few days ago, Zhang Fushang from the neighboring village fell in love with the boss of the Bai family and said that he was going to marry to be the third aunt, and then he didn't know what happened, and there was no follow-up.

"That rich businessman just has a few dollars, I heard that he is not very good to his aunt, the main family can't give birth to a son to marry his aunt one by one, the Bai family's Bai Wang is also ruthless, looking at her happy appearance in the past few days, she will really cover the sky with one hand when she marries Bai Yuhe."

"Bai Yuhe is also a pitiful, fortunately he didn't get married, otherwise it would be a pity that he died in a miscarriage in less than half a year like the previous third aunt, Yuhe is not very big, so there is no need to marry out in such a hurry."

Chu Ying just sat quietly next to her and listened to those women, but she didn't quite understand that if this white jade lotus was to be married and then not married, it should have nothing to do with her own half a dime, and it shouldn't be her doing.

When Chu Ying came back, she saw Bai Yuhe carrying firewood and walked home, so she ran up to stop her, and when she saw her looking at herself, she turned around and left, knowing that there must be something in the middle.

"Bai Yuhe, stop, what did you do last time you went to my house?"

"It's nothing, it's just a warning to you not to go near Brother Wang anymore. If you go away, I'll go back to cooking. Chu Ying followed behind Bai Yuhe and asked.

"Did you leave anything behind?"

"I knocked on the door to see if you weren't there and left, what's wrong?" Chu Ying saw her pace quickening, so she ran behind. "You caught fire in my house after you left, did you do it?"

"Is your house on fire right away when I'm gone? Didn't it burn in the middle of the night? Don't frame me. Only the Wang family and himself knew about the fire in their own house, and he also told Wang Jiyuan not to tell anyone, and if anyone asked about his situation, he would remember and then sue himself.

"How do you know it's a fire in the middle of the night?" Chu Ying took Bai Yuhe's hand and stared at her deadly.

"Yes, I put it, how? Do you have any proof? Who would believe you when you say it? And you're a child, and if you accidentally burn down the house, no one will believe you even if you say that I did it. The fire wasn't just when I left, and I don't know who went in the middle of the night, but I didn't go out when I fell asleep at home. ”

Chu Ying thought that Bai Yuhe would quibble, but she actually admitted it so readily, "Then why did you do this?" ”

Chu Ying looked at Bai Yuhe and asked step by step, "Jealous, jealous of you, who let you and Brother Wang always be together, I have long been unaccustomed to you, I have looked for you a few times before, even if you are not burned to death, it is your fate." Bai Yuhe never looked at Chu Ying's eyes, but kept dodging, and continued to walk home after speaking.

"Is it just jealousy? Then you don't have to let me die, do you? How can you be so vicious as a village woman? ”

"Me, I'm just vicious, what's wrong? I should burn you to death, so that Brother Wang will be mine alone. Chu Ying looked at what Bai Yuhe said weakly, and it seemed that she didn't believe what she said.

Chu Ying didn't say anything and kept following behind and going home with Bai Yuhe, "Don't follow me, do you want to come to my house in the middle of the night to set fire?" My rhubarb is not a vegetarian. ”

Sure enough, before he reached the door, the big yellow dog at the door barked, and when Bai Yuhe shouted a few times, it stopped barking. "Damn, are you planting trees waiting for them to grow? Didn't you just chop wood, and you still made flowers, or what? Yo, who is this little brother? Chu Ying saw a good-looking woman walking out with chopsticks in her hand.

Bai Yuhe whispered in Chu Ying's ear: "Even if you tell my father, my father won't believe it, so don't waste your thoughts." ”

"I passed by and helped Sister Bai carry firewood. That's it. ”

"Then go slowly, I have time to come to the house for dinner." Chu Yinggang was still listening to her yelling viciously, Bai Yuhe immediately put on a smiling face when she looked at herself, it was really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Sure enough, after Chu Ying walked out, the woman shouted again, "Look at this little firewood and let people help?" It's really the eldest lady who is too pampered. Hurry up, hurry up and make a fire to cook, it's all choking me, your brother is hungry, didn't you hear? Hurry. ”

Chu Ying could feel the woman's vicious face when she listened to the voice at the door, although Bai Yuhe said that just now, Chu Ying didn't believe that she did it, although Bai Yuhe couldn't get used to seeing herself with Wang Yuyuan, but she didn't want to kill herself, there must be some reason why she was forced to do it.

"Auntie, didn't the Bai family sister say that she was going to marry that? When will you get married? ”

"It's been yellow for a long time, and her stepmother still took money from others? Later, I went back, and I don't know how to get it. After receiving 5 taels of silver, he really sold his daughter. ”

"Yes, if it's not my own daughter, of course I'm not distressed, what has the Bai Wang family done besides giving birth to a son, the house is full of white girls taking care of it, chopping wood, cooking, carrying water, laundry, that is all inclusive."

"Who said it wasn't, it's a blessing for such a girl to marry into someone's family, and the stepmother still scolds every day without beating, I really don't know what to think." Chu Ying listened to it and slowly walked back.
