The village is sitting on the kang in the main room with a black face, the eldest son Li Wangfu and the eldest daughter-in-law are standing on the left hand side, the second son Li Wangcai and the second daughter-in-law are kneeling on the ground, and the family does not even dare to come out. Orchid hides in the corner, she knows that her mother has made a big mistake and annoyed her grandfather.

"Second brother, tell me what you're doing? Fortunately, that little girl is a kind-hearted person who remembers the good of the old family, otherwise even you would have been kicked out of Lijia Village today. I'm old, I'm going to be embarrassed by you. ”

The second daughter-in-law still wanted to argue for herself at this time, and she was a little unconvinced, her eldest brother was the village leader, but she was punished, this family did not help the family, and she was scolded by the old man when she came back, she was unwilling, "Dad, what's wrong with me." ”

Before these words came out, I saw her father-in-law smash a cigarette pouch and pot, "You ignorant person, you are still hard-mouthed at this time, are you blind when you are everyone, if it weren't for the face of the old family, you can still have your good fruit to eat today, you are still quibbling with here, I see that you are unrepentant, this punishment is light." ”

"Second child, such a woman is not suitable to stay in our house, so I will give him a letter of resignation and send her back to her parents' house."

"Dad, I know it's wrong, you can't let Wangcai take a break, I also gave birth to a grandson and a granddaughter. In charge, you can't ignore your conscience, what do I do to you, you have a word! ”

Li Wangcai is really stupid at this time, his father actually let him divorce his daughter-in-law, and when he heard his daughter-in-law crying and grabbing the ground, he felt uncomfortable, "Dad, what's wrong with Guishan Niang, you beat her and scold her, she will change." This divorced wife, how can I live this life without a mother without a child? ”

"You! Okay, I'm old, I'm too lazy to take care of your affairs, so let's remember this first. Second, you go and get a tael of silver for your sister-in-law, let him buy some food, and then take your daughter-in-law to the ancestral hall to kneel, and come back tomorrow at dawn. Orchid also followed, what kind of father and mother there is, what kind of baby she has, so that she also knows how to be a good one. Don't learn anything out of tune. ”

"Dad, don't be angry, I'll go." Li Wangcai hurriedly pulled up his daughter-in-law and walked out of the hall in a few steps, he was afraid that the old man would regret it and forced him to divorce his wife.

Orchid Niang didn't dare to stay longer, although she was not happy to be fined money and kneeling, but it was better than being divorced, the original guilt in her heart turned into ruthlessness at this time, the ruthless two donkeys and the family were not able to handle things well, and even more ruthless Situ Yan has nothing to do now, and she has a good reputation. And she didn't get anything, she lost her money, lost face, and lost people's hearts.

The affairs of Muramasa's family have also calmed down, and the treat is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Xiashi Village was rushing to pick up his two sons and a nephew who were studying in the county school, and told them what had happened in the car. Xiao Yang'er kept punching, gritting his teeth and not saying a word, because he was not familiar with Situ Yan, although he felt that the second aunt was not doing something right, but he was an elder, and he couldn't say anything. Li Wangcai's son Li Guishan is not very angry at this time, but he is angry that his mother does things without brains, calculates that others still have words, and the matter is not done, and he has lost money and face. In the future, he will not be able to raise his head in the village.

Li Guishan has always claimed that he is a scholar, but now his mother has lost all his face here. Li Wangfu saw that his nephew kept his head down, thinking that he was sad about the wrong things his mother had done, and said a few words of comfort. If he knew that Guishan was only thinking about himself, he was afraid that he wouldn't know how to get angry and sad.

This day was the first day that Situ Yan's family built a house, and it was supposed to be celebrated, but something happened at home, and the helpers were embarrassed to stay, or Situ Yan persuaded left and right, so they all went back after eating. When Zhang Fa came home, he listened to his daughter-in-law talk about wages, and scolded his daughter-in-law, he originally thought that he had helped Li Dalang's family, looking at the house built by Li Dalang's family, and then looking at the things that the little girl did today, which one is no worse than these adults, he has really seen the world, and he may be able to help him in the future, this is good, all let this mother-in-law give him a bad thing, and now he is doing a good job, it is the right thing to do, if he does not do it well, he will be poked in the backbone.

"You're just a few dollars away, and it's a good thing for you to mess up. You ignorant mother-in-law. "Zhang Fa's daughter-in-law has never seen such a big fire in charge, although she is more domineering on weekdays, but if this hair is really ruthless, it is not ambiguous to beat people. Although I felt wronged, I didn't dare to reply.

After dinner, Situ Yan asked Erlang to go to Ryoko's house again, and made sure that Ryoko's daughter-in-law did not have a fever or feel uncomfortable, so she was relieved, she didn't want to affect anyone because of her own affairs, especially those who helped her.

After lunch, Aunt Niu and the fourth aunt came and persuaded her to leave for nearly an hour. She wrote down all these people's feelings.

At this time, the four brothers of the Li family were sitting in the main room, with oil lamps, looking at the little sister sitting on the kang, who was sewing something with a needle and thread, and they couldn't see what they were sewing.

"Little Wu, today you are frightened and tired, rest early! The light is very dim, don't hurt your eyes. ”

"Big brother, it's okay, I stayed at home for a day today, and I wasn't tired at all, not to mention that I also took medicine, and now it's very good, I sew this quilt out, although there is no cotton, but it can also be used as a quilt with grass. It's getting colder and colder, and if it snows, I'm afraid it's even colder. Situ Yan sorted out the rags and divided them into three parts, one for shoes, one for quilts, and one too broken for filling when sewing puppets in the future.

"It's good to have cotton clothes in this house, and it's good to have straw mats at night, don't be busy." Li Dalang was afraid that the little sister would get sick if she was frightened and tired.

"There are still a few stitches left, go to sleep after sewing, my brothers are tired for a day, let's wash and sleep first!"

"I'm not tired, but my heart is uncomfortable. I'll make up a mat for a while, and the eldest brother and the junior and fourth will sleep first! Li Erlang couldn't take the second donkey out of his breath today, and he kept holding his breath in his heart, and his chest was still stuffy and uncomfortable at night.

"I'm not sleepy." Shiro didn't want to sleep either, he was afraid, afraid that as soon as he slept, his little sister would be killed. He wants to guard his little sister.

San Lang didn't talk much, but today's incident made him feel even more uncomfortable, and he didn't say a word for a day, so he directly took the ula grass and began to weave the mat.

Da Lang understands the mood of the younger brothers, but the younger brothers are also tired for a day, and they have to fall down before they get sick without waiting for the little sister to get sick. Pulled a few people to the stove room, "I know that you are afraid, I am also very afraid in my heart, but if you don't rest well, where will Ming'er have the strength to work, if this new house is not built, Xiao Wu will not have a good birthday, do you say this reason." ”

"But big brother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that when I wake up tomorrow morning, I won't be able to see Xiao Wu." Shiro looked at Daro with red eyes.

"I'm afraid, too." Saburo held back for a day, and finally was willing to say something.

"Big brother, I'm not only afraid, I'm angry, if I let that scum die, I'll be more comfortable in my heart."

"If you kill him, you are at ease, what do you let Xiao Wu do? Xiao Wu is a relative, if something happens to you, Xiao Wu can not be sad, you are willing to see her cry because of your business. ”

"Hey, this God, why don't you open your eyes, Xiao Wu didn't enjoy a good day this day, but he suffered hardship."

"Okay, don't complain, wash and sleep! Tomorrow morning, the junior will follow the fifth, and the fourth will follow the fifth, and the fifth will no longer be allowed to have any trouble. ”

"Okay." The brothers are raising Situ Yan in a circle, and when Situ Yan finds out early tomorrow morning, he rolls his eyes angrily. But this is the kindness of her brothers, and she can only let it go.

The next day, the people of Lijia Village returned to their old lives. On weekdays, a few brothers don't follow, Situ Yan can still pick some mushrooms, with yesterday's incident, a few people watched more closely, she wanted to pick some mushrooms, but it took a lot of lips and tongues to finally persuade the four of them to agree. But she didn't dare to make the mushrooms she picked for the helpers to eat, for fear that something would happen to someone's family, and they would be complained.

Yesterday because of this incident, I didn't have to rush to prepare some food, thank you for the villagers who helped, today Situ Yan wants to play well, at least let the helpers eat better, this work can also make more effort, and it will be completed as soon as possible.

In the morning, he dug a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms with San Lang, the mushrooms Situ Yan carried on his back, the wild vegetables San Lang carried on his back, and San Lang also dug a bundle of thorns, he didn't forget to plant the courtyard wall firmly, so that the little sister could live with peace of mind.

Lunch was eaten in the courtyard of Uncle Muramasa's house, and the villagers carried tables and stools and brought bowls to Muramasa's house spontaneously. Of course, Situ Yan bowed to the villagers again and thanked her. After waiting for everyone to finish eating, they stayed behind to help Aunt Fu sweep the yard before leaving.

At dinner, Situ Yan took out the big bone broth that had been boiled last night, first put out the lard on it and put it in a clean clay pot, divided the remaining soup into two parts, took one and added water, poured it into the pot and boiled together, and then put the washed and cut wild vegetables into sections, and put the pig water prepared before, and the wild vegetable soup was boiled and served in a large clay pot.

After washing the pot, I put some oil to paste the black noodles that had been reconciled in the morning into cakes, and Situ Yan added oil residue in order to make the cakes delicious. Three cakes for one person, plus a bowl of soup, should be able to add full. Compared with yesterday's two meals of wild vegetable gnocchi soup, today's food is delicious.

As soon as dinner was ready, the village was taking the helpers and the four brothers of the Li family into the courtyard together, "Girl, what are you doing today, you can smell the fragrance from afar, and we can't do anything to smoke it." ”

"Then the uncles will eat more." Situ Yan also knew that people were polite, and she responded politely.

During the meal, several adults ate with a sigh, and the words of praise were not broken, Zhang Fa felt aggrieved, he could have discussed friendship with this girl like them, but now that he has become a "servant" (hired laborer), there is no part for him to speak at this table.

Shan Wazi and Gouzi, these days have not eaten less rice cooked by Situ Yan, they can't eat enough, and now when they go home, they don't even like to eat what his mother cooks. The four brothers of the Li family had no expression on their faces, but they were not slow to eat.

In addition to digging herbs and wild vegetables, washing and cooking during the day, Situ Yan also asked San Lang and Shiro to pick up a lot of firewood, one is to store firewood so that they can go to the county to exchange waste paper, and the other is that they can use this rice and kang burning. And so it went on until the fifth day of October.
