Chapter 4 The Maiden

Jiang Quinoa was injured, and Jiang Buzhuo, the inviter and his cousin, did not do well, and was punished by the second uncle, knelt in the ancestral hall all night, and copied Buddhist scriptures for several days.

Jiang Buzhuo was punished, and Jiang Chun, the main culprit, was of course punished more heavily. I heard that she was reprimanded repeatedly by several aunts, and she has been kneeling at the door of Jiang Quinoa, waiting for her to wake up and punish her.

"Is she still on her knees?" Jiang Quinoa took the medicine bowl in Aunt Rong's hand and poured it down. After these two days, she has fully understood that she did not come back from the dead, but was reborn at the age of eleven.

After two days of chaos in her mind, she gritted her teeth to sober herself up, sorted out some things in her mind, and secretly made up her mind that this life would no longer be like the grievances and humiliations of her previous life.

Aunt Rong frowned, after all, she was also a child she grew up with, and she couldn't bear it, so she pleaded: "Miss is also awake, I think let Chun'er go back." From the night of the young lady's injury, she knelt in front of the door, at first she did not eat or drink, and then she fainted from hunger, but I let the lotus flower pour water down, and she woke up. Her mother is also ruthless, it's all like this, the clan privately said that it was okay, and she didn't let go. insisted on letting Chun'er kneel until Miss got better. ”

From Jiang Chun to Chun'er, Jiang Qu knew that Aunt Rong was soft-hearted again. She's always been a soft-hearted person.

Sighing, Jiang Qu said, "Aunt Rong let her in, I have something to tell her." ”

Aunt Rong's voice soon sounded outside the door, but there was no other sound for a long time, and after a while, Aunt Rong's voice was a little angry: "You girl, why are you so stubborn?" ”

Jiang Chun is stubborn, and Jiang Quinoa has also heard of it, otherwise he would not have embarked on such a road in the future.

"Jiang Chun, even if you don't like me anymore, you always have to think about your mother. Has the Hu butcher in the city come to work lately? Jiang Quinoa's voice reached the outside of the house, and Jiang Chun, who was originally groggy, suddenly woke up, and hatred flashed in his eyes.

Looking at Jiang Chun, who was standing in front of him with a little dehydration, a pale face, and barely able to stand up with Aunt Rong's support, Jiang Quinoa frowned and patted the bed, "Aunt Rong, let her lean on the bed over there, let's talk, you go and make some porridge for her." ”

Aunt Rong was a little worried, but seeing that Jiang Chun had been kneeling outside for three days and three nights, she was weak, not to mention taking bricks, even chopsticks might not be able to hold it, so she was a little relieved, helped Jiang Chun to the bed, and went to the kitchen to be busy with peace of mind.

"How do you know that Butcher Hu came to my house?" Jiang Chun gasped for several breaths, asked in a dumb voice, and looked at Jiang Quinoa with a wary face.

Of course, I knew it in my previous life, but I can't say it.

Jiang Quinoa smiled slightly: "Your father left relatively early, not long after you were born, it was because the people in the village said that your mother couldn't keep it." I heard that in the first few years, your grandfather and uncle often came to persuade them, and once they even received the dowry of other people, and on the day of marriage, they pulled the bride and the person who greeted the relatives with a sedan chair, and your mother held scissors against her neck, if it wasn't for the patriarch they went faster, your mother almost cut herself. Since then, your grandfather and his family have also stopped thinking, but they will no longer have contact with your mother. Your mother is a backbone, and she is also not strong with the people in the village, she must be guarded to show everyone, she has easily not provoked right and wrong over the years, and has always been clean and self-conscious. ”

Jiang Chun's eyes also lit up when she heard this, although her mother was strict with her, she loved her from the bottom of her heart. People say that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, but she is so old that she has never heard anything bad about her mother outside, and even the uncles in the clan are not willing to come and go easily, everyone says that her mother has a good character, and she has always been proud, but, "What are you talking about this?" My mother said that she would not remarry, but it was useless for the butcher to come a hundred times. ”

There is another sentence that Jiang Chun didn't say, the Hu butcher's family is in their forties, and the two sons are one or twenty years old, but they still want to marry their own mother as a continuation, how could her mother agree?

"Your mother didn't know it before, but now she can't." Jiang Quinoa said with certainty, and in Jiang Chun's puzzled gaze, he slowly analyzed with her: "You injured me, it should have been a sensation that night." ”

It's not just a sensation, it's a shock.

That night, a brick was knocked down with enthusiasm, Jiang Chun was stupid, and everyone present was stupid, and when he reacted, he didn't know who shouted, and the light came from the house at the head of the village as soon as possible, and soon the whole village knew about it.

Jiang Quinoa was already unconscious when he was carried home by Jiang Buclumsy, and a barefoot doctor in the village could usually use it, so he poured two pots of yellow soup that night, rested early, and couldn't wake up, and finally the eldest son of the Li Zheng family drove an ox cart and took the head of the Jiang family to the city to ask for a doctor.

Jiang Quinoa's head kept bleeding, Jiang Chun's legs and feet were weak at that time, and everyone panicked for a while, but Jiang Bu was calmer and let the ashes stop the bleeding first.

Later, Jiang Chun was taken to the hall and reprimanded by several aunts in the clan, and when it was almost dawn, the doctor prescribed medicine and was sent away, and Jiang Chun was ordered to kneel in front of Jiang Quinoa's house until her injuries healed. It is said that this is her mother's initiative to ask, when she first heard it, she was full of resentment, feeling that God is unfair, why does everyone want to tie up Jiang Quinoa, just because she has a promising father? That was the first time she resented her father, hated why her father died so early, and hated why her mother didn't intercede for her.

But now she doesn't hate it at all.

"Your mother is cautious in the village, she doesn't dare to take half a wrong step, and she doesn't dare to provoke any bad rumors, for what? It's not so that you two can gain a foothold in the village. Jiang Quinoa said in a slight tone: "But what about you? Be strong everywhere but don't know how to hide it, over the years, how many people in the village have your mother apologized for you? In the past, it was not easy for your mother to take a woman with a child, and it was not a big matter for the sake of the same clan and clan, but what about this time? You're hurting me a lot, new hatred and old hatred, they won't let you two go easily. If you don't mention this thing, your life will not be easy in the future. ”

Tears rolled in his eyes, Jiang Chun turned his head, stubbornly not wanting to show his weak side in front of Jiang Quinoa.

"They don't necessarily like me so much that they put me above their own children or something, just because I have a father who is an official." Jiang Quinoa tugged at the corners of his mouth, thinking about the wish he had made that day, and felt that he was a little ridiculous.

"Your mother's life with you is not easy, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult in the future. Moreover, "Jiang Qu said that there will be a big drought next year, and there will be no harvest in the village, and the difficult things may not be convincing now."

"Moreover, Butcher Hu has come more often, and there will always be gossip in the village, your mother used to be able to bear it, but now it may not be." Jiang Quinoa said.

Jiang Chun leaned on the bedpost and cried with her mouth open, and when she had cried enough, her already hoarse voice became even hoarse, and she couldn't make a sound.

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Qu's eyes looked at the sparrow parked under the eaves outside the window, and said softly: "I can let you and your mother live in the village in peace, and I can guarantee that no one will bully you again." ”

Looking at Jiang Chun's gaze quietly, Jiang Qu said: "I want you to be my maid for five years, and after five years, I will return you to be free." ”
