Chapter 288: Don't Let People See It!
He Liushi and Yudou were disappointed when they heard that they didn't find Nuan Miao.
As Jian Ying expected, they came here at this time, and they did have the intention of fighting the autumn wind.
In that case, the village was completely looted, and although the government distributed money and food, it would not starve to death and freeze to death, but it could not be slowed down for several years. This year, there was a lot of rain, and the Yellow River rose and washed away many fields in the north, which made the situation even worse.
There is no rest in the fields, and young people like Mengzi have run out to pick up the work. There is only one man in the He family, and he is still a person who can't do hard work, and occasionally goes to a slightly richer village to read letters and write replies to people to save a pair, and earn a scoop or two of coarse grain, mixed with wild vegetables, and can barely survive. Later, Nuan Miao's father was gone, and the life at home became more and more tight.
The reason why she is reluctant to come to find warm seedlings is that there is a reason why she can't go far away from filial piety, but in the final analysis, she still has to be strong.
She consciously married into the He family, she has done enough in all aspects, she can't find the slightest mistake, and she treats Nuan Miao as her own. Because Nuan Miao was captured by bandits, she didn't know how many tears she shed.
But what about the warm seedlings? There's nothing to say about being dead, but since you're alive and well, if you don't go back, you can always bring a letter or a message to your home, right? For so many years, there has been no news, and I haven't even seen my father for the last time.
It's obvious that the eyes of the rich and noble grow to the top of the head, and the poor clanging mother's family is ashamed, and he wants to cut off contact with them.
The more I thought about it, the more chilling I became, so I gambled.
The He family's total of a few acres of land was flooded again, and only less than two bags of grain were harvested in the autumn. It's winter. I can't pick wild vegetables to fight my hunger, and my life is getting worse and worse. Fortunately, the fierce son helped their mother and daughter every once in a while, so that they would not be thin every day.
She originally thought that her husband in front of her bought her a pair of silver earrings and took them as pawns, but she didn't know that they were silver-plated, and she couldn't sell them for a few dollars, so she could only wear them for Yudou.
When the people in the village heard that Nuan Miao had become a wife in a big family, they asked her to come to Nuan Miao. Yudou also whispered in her ear all day long, saying that her sister was living a good life, and there was no reason for them to be poor at home.
No matter how strong a person is, he can't resist the word "poor".
It's time for the year. The urn was empty. There was only a thin foundation left in the rice urn, and seeing that it was about to pass this year, she had to grit her teeth and swallow the breath she was gambling. I went to the third uncle to borrow money.
The third uncle's family has a daughter who married into a large family in the county as a concubine. Later, it was straightened. There is a subsidy for the mother's family. The son of the third uncle bears the title of Lizheng, and whoever asks them to do things will not come to the door empty-handed, and he can collect things from all year round. He is the richest person in the village.
The third uncle is the most senior person in the village, and there is no one more like him who likes to play music and talk about rules, and whoever has something to do has to be involved.
He was not happy when Nuan Miao married Zhuzi, but he felt sorry for his eldest grandson and had to agree. Now that Nuan Miao has stepped on the pillar and married to a rich door, he is not happy in his heart.
heard that she was going to borrow money to find warm seedlings, so he first trained her to be a bloody dog, saying that she went out during the filial piety period, which ruined the atmosphere in the village. When she promised to find her daughter and bring a few good things back to honor him, she took out fifty coins and threw them to her, telling her to go and come back quickly.
She held back her tears and took it away, and took out two unpatched clothes from under the box, and took them across the river with her fierce son.
I thought that after seeing Nuan Miao, any problem could be solved, but who knew that I would run in vain. When I thought of being told by the people in the village after I went back, the third uncle couldn't be scolded for a short time, and my heart was like a needle prick.
He Liushi was just disappointed, but Yudou was on the verge of despair.
When she was at home, she made up her mind to stay and live a good life with her sister. When I entered the palace, I saw the courtyards that entered and entered, countless houses, pavilions on the left, and pavilions on the right. Take out any person, and they are all dressed naked.
A few big girls around the second young grandmother, each dressed in gold and silver, dressed up in a fancy way. was compared by them, and the daughter of the aunt who became the wife of the third uncle's family was the village aunt. The girl named Yunzheng was even more generous, and casually gave her a silver hairpin that weighed several weights, as well as two flowers, which were tied more really.
Living in a fragrant and warm house, eating meals and snacks that I have never eaten in my life, I feel that the Heavenly Palace is nothing more than this, and I am more and more determined to stay.
Because the people in the Blue Courtyard treated her kindly, she thought about preparing with both hands, even if she couldn't find her sister, it would be 11,000,000 times better to stay as a girl than to go home and suffer from poverty. I begged once but couldn't get my wish, so I had to pin all my hopes on my sister.
If my sister is really an aunt in this house, she is my aunt's sister, isn't she a lot taller than a girl? Even dreaming at night that she was a daughter, she woke up laughing.
Hearing Yun Zheng say that he didn't find anyone and wanted to send them away, it was like falling from the heavenly palace into hell, squatting on the ground and crying.
He Liushi was embarrassed and angry, his black and yellow face turned red, and he slapped it, "What are you crying about?" If you don't hurry up and shut it up, it will not stain people's clean houses. ”
Yun Zheng didn't stop or persuade, and sent the things that Jian Ying ordered to prepare, "Our second young lady said that although we can't be relatives, it can be seen that the previous side is also fateful."
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, you can take back a few rulers to make two new clothes to wear, as well as a few pieces of bacon, a few catties of fresh meat, a few ducks and geese, add a dish and snacks for you, and keep them for the road to eat. ”
As soon as Yudou heard that there was something to take, she immediately stopped crying and jumped up to look at it.
He Liushi pulled away his daughter with one hand, and waved at Yunzheng with the other, "I can't help it, I can't help it, the second young lady asked us to eat and live here, which is already a great grace." If we take your things again, what will happen to us?
We have received it, but we can't ask for ......."
"Why can't you ask for it?" Yudou was anxious, "These things are leftovers from other people's food, so let's throw them away for nothing." ”
He Liushi made her ashamed, slapped her again, turned her head and apologized to Yunzheng, "This Nizi is spoiled by me and can't speak, don't blame you, little sister." ”
Yun Zheng saw that their mother and daughter were pitiful, and the ruler that they picked up was loaded with five or six pieces, and the duck and the goose also took two of the top fat ones, which were said to be thrown away for nothing, and they didn't mind it at all if they were false, but they didn't want to be like a little girl, so they smiled slightly, "It's not in the way, it's not early, I'll send you out." ”
As he spoke, he asked the two rough mothers-in-law to carry the baggage box and led them out of the blue courtyard.
Jun Ping stayed awake all night, walking around on the ground with a pair of dark circles under her eyes. The purse had been clutched in his hand for more than an hour, and it was already a little damp.
"Auntie." Yuanzi ran in with a pummer, "Those two people were led forward by Sister Yunzheng." ”
Jun Ping's face changed, she gritted her teeth, and handed the purse to Yuanzi, "You follow over and give them these broken silver." Don't say it's me, just say it...... Just say...... Forget it, don't say anything, stuff it for them and come back quickly.
Secretly, don't let people see it. ”
