Chapter 2 (I)

Liu Fangfang was woken up by Aunt Wang's hard work, Aunt Wang's hand strength should not be underestimated, she delivered the goods on weekdays, carrying a box of steel ingot spare parts, and walked like a tiger.

Liu Fangfang rubbed her aching cheeks, "Aunt Wang." ”

"What's up? I saw you grinding your teeth and kicking your legs for a while, and you couldn't wake up. Aunt Wang asked with concern

"I just had a dream, I was stunned, I couldn't wake up when I wanted to, I was so anxious! Aunt Wang, how long have I been sleeping? Liu Fangfang asked.

"Soon, three hours! If you don't sleep anymore, I see that your face is not good! ”

"No, I won't sleep anymore, Aunt Wang, let's sleep with you!"

"Okay, look at it, I'll go to sleep."

This night shift was spent in Aunt Wang's thunderous snoring, Liu Fangfang sat on the side, slowly reminiscing about that dream, it was too real! She remembered every word and deed of the people in her dream clearly, "Could it be that I have read too much farming texts recently?" Liu Fangfang muttered.

Back in the dormitory, Liu Fangfang entered the door, Li Wenzheng was about to go out in work clothes, "Fangfang, I'm too late, let's talk about it when we both rest!" There is cumin mutton and apricot peel water made by my mother for you on the table, you remember to eat it at noon, I'm leaving! ”

Li Wen, who lives with her, is a local, and she gets along with Fangfang and often brings her delicious food.

"Ride slowly!" Fang Fang shouted.

"I can't slow down today, I'm going to be late!"

Liu Fangfang stroked her forehead, took a shower, and fell down to catch up on sleep after drying her hair.

The night shift had such a real dream, to be honest, Liu Fangfang was a little resistant to sleeping, she took her mobile phone to read a novel, looked at it, the mobile phone slid to the pillow, and she fell asleep again.

"Wouldn't it? How is it the courtyard of the Lu family again! Liu Fangfang collapsed, "I haven't seen a dream and there is a serial." ”

Liu Fangfang's heart was weak and she didn't want to stay in the Lu family.

At this time, a pot-bellied young woman came out of the East House, isn't this Magnolia? I'm pregnant again so soon, and my belly is about to give birth again, right?

Liu Fangfang looked inside the house, Xiao Yi was playing a cloth tiger on the kang, muttering "Fight tigers, go up the mountain to fight tigers"

"The fertility of the ancients is really not covered." Liu Fangfang thought, "I'll wait a minute, let's see what Yulan's second child will have?" ”

In the past few days of childbirth, except for the occasional walk around on the kang, Yulan has been lying on the kang all day long, and the food is brought by Mrs. Lu, it seems that this

Mrs. Lu hugged her grandson and suspended her daughter-in-law.

Who would have thought that the second child gave birth to another daughter, named Xiaoding.

Mrs. Lu was completely angry, "Lu Si's wife gave birth to a money-losing product in her first child, and gave birth to a son in her second child, you are good, both children are money-losing goods, you are slapping me in the face, do you know?" My sister-in-law must be watching my jokes, and she may not know how to squeeze me in front of her mother-in-law! What's the use of you saying you just look good? If you can't give birth to a son, it's a scourge everywhere, what kind of sin did my Lu family create, and I married you, a mourning star! ”

Mrs. Lu directly left it alone.

Old man Lu smiled and gave the gift money to the midwife and doctor, and instructed Lu Zhong to send it out in person.

Mrs. Lu stood at the door of the east house, posing and ready to scold, but she didn't want Old Man Lu to take off her cloth shoes and smash at Mrs. Lu.

"How dare you howl and try!"

"Giving birth to another money-losing goods, can't I scold?" Mrs. Lu was not convinced.

"Accompany money and lose money, believe it or not, I beat your mouth swollen, Zhong'er Lian'er understands the truth, how can you not understand this stupid woman?"

"It's because she's not angry, who is to blame?" Mrs. Lu cried: "Sister-in-law hasn't set foot on our door for a few years, and she suddenly came back last month to invite us to eat full moon wine, what does she mean It's rare for you not to see it?" She's showing off, she's demonstrating to me, isn't it her daughter-in-law who gave birth to a son? ”

Lu Zhong, who sent the guest back, said: "Mother, it's not that she can't give birth to Yulan, her son will have it sooner or later, why do you have to be angry with your aunt and embarrass Yulan!" ”

"You are not a filial son, you have a daughter-in-law and forget your mother. She has two lives and two money-losing goods, so you are not anxious at all? ”

"Mother, when you carry Magnolia on your back and hug Xiaoyi on weekdays, aren't you also happy? Why are people not the same before and after? ”

Mrs. Lu was speechless, so she angrily picked up the cloth shoes of the old man Lu on the ground and threw them at Lu Zhong.

Lu Zhong grabbed the cloth shoes, took them to Old Man Lu, and then said to Lu Lian, who was hiding behind the door: "Sister Lian, is there boiling water in the stove room?" ”

Lu Lian nodded and beckoned to Lu Zhong, "Big brother, come on!" ”

Lu Zhong approached, and Lu Lian took out two boiled eggs, "This is what my second brother and I left for my sister-in-law, and my eldest brother will bring it to my sister-in-law to eat!" ”

Lu Zhong touched Lu Lian's head with a smile and took the egg.

Old man Lu saw that Mrs. Lu still looked like she didn't care about anything, and shouted, "Don't go cook yet." ”

Mrs. Lu got up and went to the stove room in a daze.

Lu Zhong took the sugar boiled water to the east house, saw Yulan burst into tears, and sat on the kang with his little daughter in his arms.

"My husband shouldn't have married me that day, maybe if he marries your cousin, he will be able to have a son in his first child."

Lu Zhong put the sugar boiling water on the kang table, fanned it with a fan in one hand, held two boiled eggs in the other, and skillfully slapped it on the kang table.

"I know that my mother wanted to marry her niece to you, but you didn't agree and had to marry me, so my mother always didn't like me." Magnolia muttered.

Lu Zhong had already peeled the eggs, and the sugar water was no longer hot, so he brought it to Yulan and said, "Eat it quickly, this is the egg that the second brother and Sister Lian left for you." ”

Magnolia took it with red eyes.

"I'll go to my father and ask him to tell his mother to take Xiao Yi over and raise him for a month, and then take it over when you are out of confinement."

"No, I'm not at ease."

"Don't worry, mother, she doesn't treat Xiao Yi as she says." Lu Zhong waited for Yulan to finish eating, and then accompanied him to talk, "I live in the west this month, you take care of it, don't think about taking some useless." ”

As soon as Lu Zhong left, Yulan became depressed again.

Liu Fangfang really couldn't stand it, but the gap between the ancient woman's thoughts and her had crossed time and space, and this was just a fictional character in her dream, she wanted to comfort her, but she reached out and penetrated through Yulan's body, which was finally untouchable.

Liu Fangfang felt depressed, she slipped out to listen to the gossip of those village women, and also learned about Yulan's life experience, Yulan's maiden surname is Wang, the fourth in the family, with three older brothers and a younger brother. Yulan's mother is also a well-known spicy woman in Wangjiaba, and his three elder brothers are tall, burly, and strong, and their tempers are all violent.

Liu Fangfang couldn't understand how the Wang family could raise such a tolerable daughter as Yulan.

Yulan can bear it, but Mrs. Lu can't bear it, even with the confinement meal, it is full of Mrs. Lu's hatred! Rare can see the figure, a small bowl, just hang your life if you don't die.

Maybe Yulan was too worried, after this birth, Yulan's milk was very small, Xiaoding was hungry and crying, Yulan couldn't, so she could only feed it with gruel.

However, the little baby has a delicate stomach, diarrhea several times, and the crying sound is like a milk cat, as if it can't live.

Even Liu Fangfang secretly prayed that this little poor person could live as tenaciously as grass and survive.

She can let Yulan eat gruel, but if she wants her daughter to starve, she can't allow it, no matter how docile the cat is, it hides its claws, and no matter how weak the little white rabbit is, it also has fangs.

On this day, Lu Zhong went into the east house to visit his wife and daughter, and Yulan pointed to the lonely small bowl on the kang table and cried to her husband.

Lu Zhong went out with a black face, and soon Lu Pozi's loud abuse was heard.

I only heard Lu Zhong say in a loud voice: "Mother, I work all day and night, and the food I grow is not enough for my wife and daughter to have a full meal?" ”

"She can't give birth to a son, so don't think about eating well!"

"Mother, can't you be nice to Magnolia?"

"Good for her? If she is a good daughter-in-law, shouldn't she instigate her husband to find her mother-in-law to eat and drink, and be lazy like this? You deserve to starve! As soon as Mrs. Lu's words fell, Old Man Lu came out of the West House, threw the basket in his hand, stepped forward in three or two steps, grabbed Mrs. Lu and dragged him into the main house.

Lu Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Old Man Lu, "Dad, Dad, stop." ”

"Zhong'er, let it go, see that I don't loosen her skin, an ignorant and stupid woman, she can only feel at ease if she is restless."

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale with fright, and her hands and feet were kicking, "Zhong'er, quickly persuade your father." ”

Old man Lu got angry, shook off Lu Zhong's hand vigorously, dragged Mrs. Lu into the main house, and bolted the door casually.

"Old man, listen to me, I either really want to starve her, or I want to scare her, just wait until I am angry!" Mrs. Lu cried.

"Your anger is gone, who will kill my anger?" Old man Lu turned over and pressed Lu Pozi on his lap and beat him on the buttocks.

Mrs. Lu wanted to cry loudly, but she didn't dare, she had already lost face in front of her children, and she couldn't even lose her inside.

Liu Fangfang saw Mrs. Lu being beaten, and her jaw was about to fall to the ground in surprise, this woman who beat a man is really unpleasant, but Mrs. Lu should also be beaten, and Old Man Lu is not thin on her, he did not punch each other into a pig's head, but specialized in spanking.

Anyway, the butt is full of meat, and a few slaps don't have much effect.

After this battle, Mrs. Lu felt that her daughter-in-law had caused her to lose face in front of her children, and her admonition to Old Man Lu was actually against Yin and Yang.

The small bowl of gruel was changed to a large bowl of white rice porridge, isn't it not full? I'll serve you in a bowl of the sea.

Yulan can eat enough, Xiaoding can drink rice cereal, and she will be content.

Mrs. Lu took advantage of the fact that Old Man Lu and Lu Zhong were working in the field, so she stood outside the east house and scolded her: "The lazy woman who is greedy has given birth to two money-losing goods, and she still wants to eat well, and she instigates her husband and mother-in-law to eat and drink all day long, you are not a filial person, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to eat and pull out!" ”

"Can you bear it, you have the ability, and now you are happy to eat in a big bowl, right? Are you too embarrassed to eat it? Eat my Lu family, drink my Lu family, give birth to two people and lose money, are you right about the ancestors of the Lu family? Zhong'er is kind to you, and you repay him like this? ”

"If you are really angry, give birth to a son and show me! When the time comes, I will run three laps around Shangxi Village and Xiaxi Village with you! ”

In the east room, Yulan sat on the kang, holding Xiaoding in her arms, crying silently.

Sometimes, it's not that you can be relieved, and it's not that you don't care if you don't care.

This mental torture is far more painful than physical torture.

Looking at a large bowl of white rice porridge, Yulan had no appetite at all.

Occasionally, Lu Zhong secretly gave her salty food, and she couldn't lift her spirits.

Lu Zhong took the time to go to Qixi to catch crucian carp, and regardless of his mother's black face, he couldn't hear any more ugly words, and personally boiled fish soup and served it to Yulan to drink.

Even with Lu Zhong's care, Yulan's milk is still not enough to eat, and she is physically and mentally exhausted during the confinement period, and when she finishes the confinement, she is thin into a pair of skin and bones, her eyes are deep-set, her cheekbones are prominent, and her complexion is dark yellow.

On the day of Xiaoding's full moon, Yulan's family came from Wangjiaba to give the moon gift, Wangjiaba was not far away, and the carriage arrived in an hour.

Liu Fangfang said secretly: There is a good show to watch now.

The Wang family didn't expect Yulan to give birth to a second child, and she lost weight like this ghost after the confinement, facing the crying Yulan, Mrs. Wang's forehead was bruised, and said, "Tell my mother well, how have you spent the past two years?" ”

Yulan saw her mother, sadness came from it, after crying, Wang Pozi said: "You are young, you have never suffered at home since you were a child, you married to the Lu family and soon became pregnant, Xiaoyi caught up with the farm when the moon was full, we hurried away after sending the moon gift, and did not slow down to talk to you, now I really regret not being at the beginning." ”

"I know that the Lu family's aunt is good, but I don't know that the Lu family's mother-in-law is so mean and ruthless. Wait, my mother will go and talk to your mother-in-law! ”

Mrs. Wang was completely angry, and the three daughters-in-law who accompanied her were also angry, and the four of them went out of the east house together.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about being at her daughter-in-law's house, let alone the presence of Mrs. Lu's relatives and some villagers, so she directly made a statement, stood in the courtyard of the Lu family with her hands on her waist, and pointed at Mrs. Lu and scolded loudly: "You old immortal plague woman!" When I came to ask for marriage, I said better than I sang, and when I married my daughter into the door, I treated it like a stinky rag. ”

"Other people's daughters are red and chubby after confinement, and my daughter was tortured by you like this! All the neighbors here have come to see, they are all people who raise children and daughters, and you all come to judge and judge, is there such a mother-in-law? ”

"Blacken your heart, liver, spleen and lungs! You old beggar with pestilence, you can be ruthless! What happened to having a daughter? Do you deserve to be practiced every day by giving birth to a daughter? You are also born and raised by a woman, you are also a woman, you also have a daughter, you treat other people's daughters as people! What kind of heart do you have, you! ”

"Don't think that my daughter is a bully, my old Wang family is not afraid of you, you must give me an explanation today, otherwise, you wait, I won't make your Lu family stinky and disabled!"

After Mrs. Wang finished scolding, she turned her head and said to her youngest son: "Yutang, hurry back to Wangjiaba, call your father and three brothers, and your cousins are also shouting at home, the Lu family is bullying me There is no one in the Wang family!" Just go! ”

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy next to him snorted, turned his head and rushed out of the Lu family's yard, and drove away in the carriage.

Liu Fangfang, who was watching the excitement on the side, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and admired Mrs. Wang, on the other hand, Mrs. Lu's face changed three times, and her face was timid, it turned out to be a paper tiger!

Mrs. Lu was frightened, looking at the relatives and friends present: the Lu family's big house is in the city, and now the friendship is cold, this month ceremony is even more polite, her mother's relatives only came to a few female relatives, how can the old man and two sons of her own family have more men than the Wang family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu's legs were weak, she sat on the ground, and cried out loud: "All the neighbors in Xiaxi Village have come to see it, the people in Wangjiaba have bullied the door, my Lu family married a daughter-in-law who entered the door, can't I, the mother-in-law, be beaten or scolded?" She gave birth to two money-losing goods in a row, she deserved me to treat her like this, she didn't starve to death because she burned high incense, I knew that her mother's family was like this, I didn't even give her a sip of water to drink! Starve her! ”

Mrs. Lu was still hard-mouthed, and Mrs. Wang was already angry and rushed over, and was pulled by several women.

Mrs. Lu was still there with a big move: "My daughter is a money-loser" so she beat a stick, and the hatred was full.

When Mrs. Lu's relatives saw Mrs. Lu making such a fuss, they stepped forward to persuade her, but Mrs. Lu didn't listen and continued to cry, and Mrs. Lu's relatives were disgraced and found an excuse to leave.

The rest of the people in the same village watched the excitement, and they had their own thoughts and discussions, especially the neighbors around the Lu family, who even told the other villagers about the insults of Mrs. Lu in the past.

People who are kind and sensible all scold Mrs. Lu for going too far.

Those who have daughters at home have no good impression of Mrs. Lu, and loudly scold Mrs. Lu for not being a person.

There are also some people who want to say goodbye to the second child of the Lu family, and they are even more restless, this kind of mother-in-law, who is willing to push her daughter into the fire pit.

Mrs. Lu sat on the ground crying, Lu Zhong Lu Yong and Lu Lian stepped forward to help her, she couldn't afford it, and when she heard some neighbors scolding her loudly, Mrs. Lu was heartbroken, and she fell asleep directly on the ground and rolled on, scolding: "Those who chew the root of the tongue and say that I am right and wrong, all of them have sores in their mouths and noses, and their intestines are rotten!" ”

As a result, the gossip on the root of the tongue was also angry.

Old man Lu angrily smashed the cup on the table towards Mrs. Lu and scolded: "Shameful shrew! How many times have I said that you just don't listen, and now if you cause trouble, you can rest assured? How did I find a shrew like you, believe it or not, I'm going to divorce you now! ”

As soon as Mrs. Lu heard that she had divorced her wife, she was so frightened that she stopped rolling, let her children help her to sit aside, and secretly looked at Old Man Lu with her eyes.

Lu Zhong walked to Mrs. Wang and knelt down and asked his mother-in-law to calm her anger.

Mrs. Wang blamed her uncle for not taking good care of her daughter, and she had a deep resentment against Mrs. Lu, so she didn't have a good face for her uncle, and scolded: "Is there a husband like you? Your own lady was tortured like this, you can see the past? Can't you just say a few words for her and just watch her being tortured to death? I was so mistaken about you! ”

Lu Zhong knelt honestly and did not speak.

Yulan has been in the East House, and when she saw her husband kneeling down and being scolded by her mother, she felt sorry for her husband and hurriedly came out of the house to plead.

Yulan's appearance, the neighbors were in a commotion again, they were all people with eyes, the little lady who was beautiful and white in the past, after the confinement she became this ghost, some village women snorted in the direction of Mrs. Lu, and scolded: "What is it!" Rotten mother-in-law! ”

Mrs. Lu has always been arrogant, and when she heard someone scolding her, her mouth moved and she was ready to fight.

Old man Lu scolded: "Do you want to be faced? ”

Mrs. Lu didn't dare on her face, and secretly scolded those who scolded her in her heart.

Visitor Liu Fangfang was fascinated and waited for the situation to continue to develop.
