Chapter Seventy-Three: Mother
Li Shi suddenly felt relieved, if Ah Zhu married again, marrying such a family, she would definitely die of anger.
Yunzhu had already returned, chopping pigweed in the yard and watching the chickens and ducks. Tian Tian is in charge of lighting the fire.
The Li family came back from the Feng family slowly, and Yunzhu continued to chop her pigweed, leaving a lot of work left, and there was really no time to chat.
Li Shi glanced at her busy daughter, she was dissatisfied with her somewhat indifferent daughter, so she moved a stool from the house and sat down in the shade, already with an extra fan in her hand.
"Aren't you happy that I've come to see you?"
"Happy, how can you not be happy." Yunzhu didn't raise his head.
"I see you're cold, just because you don't like me coming." Li shook his fan and looked at the house again, his brows furrowed enough to squeeze flies: "How can this house be a place where people live." I said that you used to be a lady in a small family, but now you have become like this, but you also suffered by yourself. ”
When Yunzhu heard this, how could she be happy in her heart, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Yes, I am self-inflicted." ”
"So what are you going to do? If you want to stay in a dilapidated house here for the rest of your life, how will your daughter marry in the future and find a rough man in the countryside? ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Li stomped his feet angrily: "You have been restless since you were a child, and I have your heart for a lifetime." I'm in my twenties and let me worry about you, when will it be a head! ”
Here Yunzhu did not talk back. Worrying about their children is something that every parent in the world will do, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Look at what the hell you look like now. Where is the slightest bit of what it was like when I was at home? You also give me a little toughness, you can't just leave it at that! ”
"What do you mean for me?"
"How? Shame though. But even if you go to He's house to make trouble. Do you really want to live like this for the rest of your life, what's that little girl's name? ”
"Tian Tian!"
"Do you have the heart to let Tian Tian suffer with you for a lifetime?"
Yunzhu was silent for a moment, and said firmly: "I work so hard to change the status quo of life, and I won't let Tian Tian starve and be poor." ”
"What about you, what are you going to do? I just saw what Xiaoman said about your good look, but their family doesn't seem to agree. Is that person really your favor? ”
Yunzhu blushed. hurriedly defended: "Who, why is Xiaoman talking nonsense." ”
"It's not him, I think you're still blind to that point. Fall in love with that kind of man. ”
Yunzhu didn't know what Li was talking about. When did she have anything to do with a man, Song Xiaoman came once and caused a lot of trouble, it seems that she didn't say anything good about herself when she went back. For this younger brother. Yunzhu is hated from the bottom of my heart.
"Take your daughter with you. It will also be a dependence in the future. Tian Tian has the blood of the He family in his body, I don't believe that they He family doesn't care at all. ”
In fact, the Li family, like Xiaoman, would only complain in front of Yunzhu, and did not dare to go to He's house for Yunzhu to ask for an explanation.
Yunzhu and Tian Tian prepared pig food and served it well. I picked three eggs today, Yunzhu thought, let's boil them.
The mother and daughter were busy in the stove room, sweating like rain. Li leisurely enjoyed the shade under the tree. I thought that this countryside is a wide yard, raise some chickens and ducks. It's also easy to grow a little food. If she doesn't wait for Xiaoman to come out, let Xiaoman buy her a Zhuangzi, and she will also go to the countryside to spend her old age in peace, without looking at her daughter-in-law's face.
A plate of bitter gourd omelette, a plate of vegetarian fried eggplant, stewed green beans in oil, and a half-bowl of hot and sour soup. The only meat dish is the pickled chicken feet left over from Yunzhu's sale, but there are actually less than ten, plus the red and green vegetable segments, which is barely served on a plate.
Li Shi looked at the dishes in front of him, and couldn't help but think of what Xiaoman complained to her: "My sister is really stingy, she can't even cook meat, and she still has chickens and ducks at home, and she refuses to kill one for me to taste." She thought her son was exaggerating, but she didn't expect it to be true.
Li looked around, they were all the most ordinary farm vegetables, and there was little oil and water. In the bowl is not dry rice, but thick porridge mixed with wheat grains. Li was embarrassed to say that he was dissatisfied with the food, and after a few days of walking and walking all morning, he was already hungry and had no strength. Anyway, let's eat it hard.
Tian Tian didn't dare to raise his head, and ate silently. Although there was one more person, Yun Zhu felt more lonely than usual, and he was full in a few clicks, pushed the bowl and said, "You always use it slowly." ”
Tian Tian saw that her mother got off the dinner table, and she was also full in a hurry. left the Li family alone at the dinner table.
Yunzhu was also busy hoeing the vegetable patch, thinking that when the sun went down, she would have to carry some dung to water the vegetables. It's just that she has some backache in the past two days, and she seems to be a little unable to afford it, and it looks like she is going to be in trouble again.
When Li finished eating, when he came out, he saw Yunzhu and Tian Tian working in the vegetable field.
"Yo, you don't stop. After eating, I was busy again. ”
Yunzhu said: "There are many things, and they can't all be piled up." ”
Tian Tian went to clean up the table, but saw that both the rice and the vegetables were eaten cleanly, especially the plate containing the soaked chicken feet, there was not even a little soup left, it was smooth, as long as it was washed with water, it was clean. Tian Tian thought proudly, her grandmother looked disgusted just now, but it still couldn't match her mother's craftsmanship, no matter what kind of dishes her mother cooked, it was delicious.
Li Shi spoke to Yunzhu through the fence.
"Have you thought about it later?"
"Later? It's not that far, but I'll talk about it now. ”
"By the way, I heard the eldest sister next door say that you go to the street to set up a stall. How do you start this business? Li was a little disgusted.
"There's no way, you have to find a way to make money. Otherwise, Tian Tian and I will starve to death. ”
The Li family couldn't find a place to refute for a while, their Song family had never had such a lowly thing in hundreds of years. Li felt that this daughter had embarrassed her.
"You chose this path yourself, don't make me cry later. We can't help either. You have to know that the daughter who marries out spills the water. Your brother is not married yet, and I don't want people to know that there is a big daughter in the family. Otherwise, the matchmaker will not come to the door to propose. You don't have a future, and you can't ruin your brother's future anymore! ”
Yunzhu wiped her sweat, tomorrow will be so hot, why is there a chill in my heart, this is the so-called flesh and blood affection. It's funny.
"Don't worry, I'm so poor that I can't eat, I'm going to be a beggar, and I won't go to the Song family to beg."
Li Shi frowned angrily and rebuked sharply: "What do you mean by this? Mean me, isn't it? ”
Yunzhu sneered, "Don't you always think like this? ”
Li was dumbfounded at that time, and there was still irrepressible anger in his heart. (To be continued......)
