Chapter 322: Sister-in-law Hu Baobao
Just as Xiaoju's family of three was carrying a small bag, dragging their tiredness and planning to cross the street and go to the 'guest again' across the street to rest and eat. But what Xiao Ju didn't expect was that things in the world were so coincidental, a rickshaw driver dragged his guests, because the speed of running was too fast, and Xiao Ju Niang, who was crossing the road, only looked ahead, did not look left and right, and naturally did not find this rickshaw running in her direction. So the coachman took the car and Xiao Ju Niang to have a hard time.
When Xiaoju heard her mother's cries of pain and the stack of rickshaw drivers' "I'm sorry!" I'm sorry! Xiao Ju, who had been walking in front of the bouncing Zhuang Zhuang only then turned her head, but unfortunately Xiao Ju Niang had been knocked to the ground by the rickshaw, and even the guests on the rickshaw fell out of the car, and also collided with Xiao Ju Niang who was knocked to the ground.
"Huang Dashu, how did you pull this car? Not only did you hit someone, but you also fell me? It looks like my foot is twisted, don't even think about taking this month's charter fare! Also, you are responsible for the doctor's expenses! The young woman who had fallen out of the rickshaw sat on the ground, angry and screaming in a sharp voice. And Xiao Ju Niang's body that was slowly getting up on the ground with her left hand was obviously stiff for a while after hearing the somewhat familiar Henan accent.
Xiao Ju Niang slowly raised her head with a little luck and looked at the woman who fell out of the overturned rickshaw and collided with herself, and the woman was also scolding the coachman while raising her head to look at Xiao Ju Niang, just like that, the two sat on the ground eye to eye, and the scolding voice in the mouth of the scolding woman had long been dumb. And Xiao Ju Niang, who was already speechless, had already sat back on the ground with a blank face.
"Fifth sister-in-law? It's you? Five sisters-in-law! It's really you! The young woman in the rickshaw was the first to come back to her senses, with a sad and joyful look on her face, and her mouth was finally a definite tone from rhetorical question.
"Hu Baobao? How did you become like this? As for Xiao Ju Niang, not only did her tone hesitate, but even her face showed a suspicious look. In fact, this can't be blamed on Xiao Ju Niang for not daring to recognize each other, mainly because Xiao Ju Niang has memorized Hu Baobao, who is a big peasant girl with a long braid of oil and black gloss, wearing a flower jacket and pants, and speaking a little shyly.
At this time, the young woman who collided with her was dressed in a dress that was so bright that she was a little dazzled, and her upper body was tightly wrapped. Underneath is a pair of clothes with white thighs exposed. Xiao Ju Niang has also been calculated for so many years. I also know that the clothes are called cheongsam! But she always thought that this dress was not worn by serious people. and the pair of red high heels on her feet that made her look a little dazzling, which made Xiao Juniang not only have doubts about the person in front of her, but also be a little wary.
"Fifth sister-in-law! When I fled from the famine and fled here, my family had nothing to eat. Because I'm a yellow flower girl. The buyer said that it was more valuable. So my father and mother sold me! Hu Baobao recalled the sad past because of Xiao Juniang's question, and his face couldn't help revealing a sad look.
"Sold you? Sold to whom? Xiao Ju Niang's tone and expression were full of weirdness. In Xiao Ju Niang's memory. Hu Baobao is the old daughter of Xiaoju's grandparents, usually it is a baby, and she has never done any farm work since she was a child, and she can be regarded as pampered and raised in the countryside.
"Fifth sister-in-law! My father and mother sold me to the kiln! When Hu Baobao said this, he really couldn't hold back the grievances he had held in his heart for so many years, and he fell into Xiao Juniang's arms and cried with a 'wow'.
"Kiln...... In the kiln? Xiao Ju Niang stumbled for a long time and asked rhetorically.
"Woo......" Hu Baobao didn't speak, just nodded indiscriminately in Xiao Ju Niang's arms, and the cry became louder and more sad. When Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang turned around and came to Xiao Ju Niang, what they saw was the scene of Hu Baobao holding Xiao Ju Niang and crying bitterly and standing on the side with a bewildered face.
"Mother?!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Ju pulled Zhuang Zhuang for unknown reasons, and shouted in a somewhat hesitant tone.
"Fifth sister-in-law, this is my niece named Xiaoju and nephew named Zhuangzhuang?" Hu Baobao, who was crying sadly, was interrupted by Xiao Ju's 'mother', she raised her head, revealing a haggard face that looked a little ridiculous because of the destruction of her makeup due to crying, as for her eyes, she looked directly at Xiao Ju and Zhuangzhuang.
Hu Baobao's eyes and face that looked a little terrible because of the makeup made Zhuang Zhuang shrink away from Xiao Ju with a little fear, and then remembered what Xiao Ju said, now he is the only man in the family, and he has to take on the responsibility of protecting his family, and he quietly stood up and straightened his small body.
"Xiaoju! Strong! Come and call Auntie! Xiao Ju Niang shouted at Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang with some helplessness and reluctance on her face. She didn't have any good feelings for Hu Daring's father and mother, as well as several brothers, daughters-in-law, nieces and children. As for this Hu Baobao, although he helped her say some things at some times, he only said some words, but as long as it came to interests, he immediately stopped speaking.
"Auntie!" Although Xiao Ju was reluctant, she still listened to her mother's words and screamed, but her tone was full of coldness oozing out of her bones, and Zhuang Zhuang bit her lip desperately, refusing to speak for a long time, and Xiao Ju Niang did not force him.
Although Xiao Ju called 'Auntie' in her mouth, she stepped forward a little unceremoniously to pull Hu Baobao away from her mother's arms, and then carefully helped her mother up from the ground, and at the same time quickly helped her mother to check her whole body roughly, and found that there was nothing wrong and injured, and there was a smile on her face.
"Xiaoju, come over and help your aunt! Auntie's foot seems to be twisted! Hu Baobao said to Xiaoju with a smile on his face, and at the same time stretched out a snow-white round arm towards Xiaoju. Xiao Ju frowned and looked at the aunt in front of her who was wearing bare arms and thighs, and had a bad guess about her profession. I have to say that Xiao Ju is keen, although she didn't listen to the conversation between Xiao Ju Niang and Hu Baobao, but the life in her previous life made her vision in this life shrewd and vicious.
"Xiaoju, go help your sister-in-law!" Xiao Ju Niang naturally saw Xiao Ju's reluctance, but seeing Hu Baobao's expectant eyes, and thinking of her pitiful experience over the years, her heart was a little sour. Xiao Ju glanced at her mother, and after all, she couldn't bear to refute her face, and slowly stepped forward to help Hu Baobao up from the ground.
"Fifth sister-in-law, where are you going?" Hu Baobao didn't feel that Xiaoju and the three of them were cold to her, she could be regarded as ushering in the days of sending her after a few years, and she had already learned to look at all kinds of faces, and she was no longer the old girl who was pampered by her father.
For the past few years, she has been looking forward to her father and brother bringing money to ransom her out of this fire pit, which was what her father and several brothers swore to her when she was sold. It's a pity that a few years have passed, and even a familiar figure has never appeared in front of her. Now that she is so lucky to meet a few relatives on the street, how could she give up recognizing each other so lightly? Maybe this is her only chance to get out of the fire pit!
I have to say that Hu Baobao's treasure is really right, at present, with the small treasure bowl in Xiaoju's small space every day to copy the silver yuan and gold ring jade ring, not to mention the redemption of Hu Baobao out of the kiln, even if she lives a worry-free life for a lifetime, she can do it very lightly, at this time Xiaoju does not know that from now on, there will be a big trouble, no longer a happy life for a family of three.
"We want to go and eat again! But I didn't expect to bump into you! Xiao Ju Niang answered Hu Baobao's question, and helped Xiao Ju to help Hu Baobao, who had sprained his foot, onto the rickshaw that had already been straightened. And Xiao Juniang also had an extra heart, and did not tell the fact that her family was waiting for the train to Wuhan.
And Hu Baobao heard Xiao Ju Niang say that she wanted to go to the 'guest again' to eat, her eyes lit up, and her heart was happy at the same time, she knew that the train station was a 'guest again' restaurant, and the food in this restaurant was much cheaper than the 'Yipinxiang' restaurant, but it was not something that ordinary people could afford to eat and were willing to eat. It seems that the fifth sister-in-law's family has had a good life in the past few years, and her redemption is also hopeful!
"So? Fifth sister-in-law, I didn't eat lunch either! And I've never had a chance to eat a 'guest again' meal! Why don't I take your blessing today and try it too? Although Hu Baobao's words were a little tentative, his tone was firm.
Hu Baobao never wanted to go back to the place where her life was worse than death, but she didn't dare to escape, because she had seen the fate of the sisters who had escaped being caught back, and they were locked in the room, tortured day and night by those rude workers and poor soldiers, and in less than a month, they were tortured to death.
Don't run away, a woman like her, at least the guests are either officers or some rich people, these people are at least not rude, and as long as they like these people, they often get some extra rewards, as long as these rewards can be secretly hidden, not let their mother know, they can still leave some money in the future.
This time she was able to come out, it was a rich man who chartered her field, but unfortunately this generous guest just got on the train and left Zhengzhou, otherwise she would be able to live a few days of relaxation and not have to pick up so many guests every day. But it seems that good luck still exists, and she even met her fifth sister-in-law and her pair of children. Hu Baobao sat in the rickshaw, quietly thinking in his heart how to test whether the fifth sister-in-law had the money to help her redeem herself.
"This ......" Xiao Juniang listened to Hu Baobao's words, and she didn't want to admit it, she didn't accept it, and it seemed that she was stingy as a sister-in-law, but she was a little at a loss.
"Sister-in-law, isn't your foot sprained? Why don't you hurry up and see a doctor? Otherwise, you won't want to walk tomorrow! Xiao Ju naturally didn't want to have anything to do with those people in the Hu family, and her mother's attitude was also like this, so she reminded her with a kind face. (To be continued......)
