Xu Xiangyang and Zhang Huiling live in two small west rooms, the house is not big, the kang alone occupies a small half of the room, and a few simple pieces of furniture are placed along the wall, boxes, chairs, tables, wardrobes, and the rest of the space can only accommodate people to turn around.

On the opposite side of their house, there are two rooms that are about the same size, and they usually cook and eat in the room, and when it is cold in winter, they move into the main house to cook.

Since Xu Xinyu picked up the two male babies, Xu Xiangyang's desire to have another baby has become stronger and stronger, and it is better to be a male baby, so no matter how tired he is from working during the day, he has to work hard every night.

Zhang Huiling also felt ashamed because he only gave birth to Xu Xinyu and was not as intelligent as other children, even if he was tired of working during the day, he was tossed by his own man at night.

The more precious Mrs. Xun is, the more uneasy Zhang Huiling feels in her heart, although her mother-in-law has always been very good to her and has never said anything about her because she has fewer babies, but the more she is like this, the more she feels sorry for her mother-in-law in her heart.

"Xiangyang, you come out for a while."

Xu Xiangyang was about to fight another round, and his mother called outside the door, Xu Xiangyang was deflated all of a sudden, and asked sullenly: "What's the matter, Mom, can't you talk about it tomorrow?" ”

"If you are told to come out, you will come out, which is so long-winded."

The old lady scolded him, Xu Xiangyang reluctantly put clothes on his body, judging from his experience, if he dared to be verbose, he would definitely not have his good fruit to eat.

After getting dressed, Xu Xiangyang opened the door and went out, and asked sullenly: "What's the matter, Mom, I have to say it here." ”

"It's nothing, I'll sleep with Hui Ling tonight, so you can go and accompany Xinyu and them."

I couldn't help but say that the old lady had already stepped into the door and bolted the door from the inside.

Xu Xiangyang opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he still held it back, and it was useless to say.

When he came out, he still thought that after talking to his mother, he would go back and continue to do the big things of his children and grandchildren, but he didn't expect that his mother was here to stir up the situation, and he couldn't fight back.

Unwillingly, he couldn't, thinking that he would have to sleep on the same kang with those two ugly monsters tonight, Xu Xiangyang entered the main house with his head bowed.

Zhang Huiling breathed a sigh of relief when her mother-in-law latched the door, she was really too tired, thinking about the man's dragon-like energy, she didn't want to disobey, but she really didn't want to, she really wanted to sleep.

"Hui Ling, it's okay, go to sleep." Mrs. Xun groped her way on the kang, the moonlight was very bright tonight, and there was no need to light the lamp at all, and the scene in the house was basically clear.

"Mom-" Zhang Huiling called out, already nasal.

"Look at your baby, what are you crying about, you're tired all day, go to sleep, you have to work tomorrow." Mrs. Xun touched Zhang Huiling's head, covered her with a thin quilt, and scolded her son for not knowing how to care for her daughter-in-law.

When Zhang Huiling followed her grandmother to the village to ask for food, she was only ten years old, and her grandmother died within a few days of coming.

After living alone for several years, Zhang Huiling didn't get bolder, so she wanted to bully her with bad intentions, but Mrs. Xun made a quick decision to take Zhang Huiling home and make Xu Xiangyang his daughter-in-law.

Those who reacted regretted it so much that they beat their chests, what a cheap daughter-in-law, they don't have to spend money and are obedient.

Mrs. Xun has never said it explicitly, but she knows in her heart that her daughter-in-law may not be able to regenerate.

When Zhang Huiling came to Xujiabao, at such a young age, relying on other people's alms, she was hungry and full, and when she was brought home, her face was so white that there was no blood, and when she saw that there was blood in the pants she had changed, she asked her what was going on, and she was so scared that she cried, rolling on the ground with her stomach covered.

Thinking of this, the old lady Xun burst into tears.

Poor Nizi, no one hurts and no one teaches, she doesn't know when she comes to her period, and she thinks she's going to die.

For so many years, Zhang Huiling has always had a problem, she has a stomachache when she has a period, and sometimes she hits her head against the wall, if it weren't for Mrs. Xun and Xu Xiangyang who have been looking at her, maybe something would have happened a long time ago.

Tight conditioning, slow conditioning, Zhang Huiling has been married for more than ten years before she has Xu Xinyu, she has never been pregnant since then, she is in her forties this year, and it is difficult to regenerate.

As usual, Xu Xiangyang got up early the next day, filled the water urn at home with water, and watered the vegetables in the yard, and then went out with a hoe.

In the past few days, the team has been planting sweet potatoes, and Xu Xiangyang's work is to dig pits.

"Yo, Xiangyang, why are you going to work alone today, and let your mother drive you out again?"

Xu Xiangyang ran into Qiao Yishui when he got out of the alley, and looked behind Xu Xiangyang with sour eyes.

"It's your business." With a roar in his voice, Xu Xiangyang strode towards the wheat field, no longer paying attention to Qiao Yishui.

He ignores others, it doesn't mean that people don't pay attention to him, Qiao Yishui is short and short-legged, trotting and keeping up with Xu Xiangyang, and his mouth is not idle: "Xiangyang, did you your daughter-in-law hard again at night, your mother is angry." ”

Xu Xiangyang turned his head and glared at him with big eyes: "Besides, Lao Tzu will whip you." ”

"Ouch, what's the anger, it's true."

Qiao Yishui's face was dead, he was not afraid at all, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became: "What do you say about your mother, you are her biological son, she is better than you to Zhang Huiling who came halfway, if you want to say that Zhang Huiling is not her own daughter, no one believes it." ”

"Shut your foul mouth, and I'll see if I don't beat you to death with a hoe." Xu Xiangyang's tiger eyes widened angrily.

Qiao ran away and disappeared, Xu Xiangyang did what he said, and he really dared to greet him.

The village of Xujiabao is small, with hundreds of people in the whole village, most of whom have the surname Xu.

Xu Xiangyang heard his mother say that there used to be a family surnamed Qiao in the village, and the Xu family and the Qiao family were on the same scale, but later because the head of the Qiao family committed an accident, the Qiao family was cut down and uprooted.

Now the surname Qiao in Xujiabao is all foreign households that moved later, and the total number is less than five.

I also heard the old people in the village say that when the Qiao family was executed, there were nearly 100 people at once, and the youngest was still in his arms.

After the execution, no one collected the corpses, and the corpses lay in a large area, and the next day people went to the execution site, and there was not even a corpse in that place, even if it was eaten by wild dogs, it would not be eaten so cleanly.

In the days that followed, it was always in the middle of the night, and there was a cry from the ancestral grave of the Qiao family.

There was the one who had the audacity to go to find out, and when he came back, he became chattering, saying that he had seen a ghost, and the ghost baby who was not a foot tall ran around in the daytime.

Later, most of the people who went to see it were a little wrong and became crazy.
