Chapter 088: Picking Cotton

In this way, how can Peach Blossom, a weak woman, withstand such a strong pressure inside and outside? In desperation, she had no choice but to obediently obey the arrangements of her mother and uncle, and temporarily agreed to deal with Zheng Chujiang.

This is also Peach Blossom's expedient measure, she didn't dare to provoke her uncle Qin Dachuan to be angry, and in order to avoid the entanglement of those matchmakers who came to her door to propose marriage, they kept talking in her ear all day long, and they were almost annoyed. and then to calm the resentment and nagging in my mother's heart. Combined with these factors and pressures, she had to swallow her anger or be aggrieved.

But she has another plan, that is, to foolishly delay until she can give birth to the child before making a final decision, and then there is time to consider whether to remarry? Who exactly to marry? However, she never thought that it was her plan that made her regret for life.

"Second Yama King" Zheng Chujiang learned that his cousin was going to introduce peach blossoms to him again, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night for a while, his heart was really itchy as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, and he scratched his ears and cheeks so much that he drooled. Every time he met Peach Blossom, Zheng Chujiang was like a wolf and leopard discovering its prey, his greedy eyes kept staring at Peach Blossom's face, and he couldn't wait to melt her into his two pupils. But every time Peach Blossom looks at him, she thinks he is so terrible and so ill-intentioned.

After meeting several times, Zheng Chujiang often came to Taohua's house when he had nothing to do, and he was close to her with a hippie smile, although Peach Blossom didn't want to see him, but she was polite, and every time she politely handed him cigarettes and poured water.

After a long time, Zheng Chujiang felt that the peach blossoms were still so charming, not only did she look handsome, but her temperament was indeed gentle and virtuous, but also more weak and kind-hearted.

In short, in Zheng Chujiang's eyes, the peach blossom is still so beautiful and perfect, the only thing that makes him unpleasant is the peach blossom's protruding lower abdomen, every time they meet, he is inadvertently and inadvertently peeking at her slightly bulging belly, but every time he peeks, his evil eyeballs are as painful and uncomfortable as if they were pricked by needles, and it is precisely because of Peach Blossom that she is reluctant to agree to marry him happily, so he hates it in his eyes.

Peach Blossom didn't know what kind of ghost fetus Zheng Chujiang was carrying in her heart, although she was vaguely aware that Zheng Chujiang was peeking at her stomach every time, but she thought that after a woman's body changed and was abnormal, it was not a strange thing for men to take a few more looks, so she didn't notice that there would be any "accidents", and she still came and went with Zheng Chujiang lukewarmly.

After a period of communication, Zheng Chujiang began to be bold, at first, just touching Peach Blossom's hand, his little heart was still beating "suddenly", and Peach Blossom was just dodging, and did not blame or show anger harshly. In his past experience, he told him that in his interactions and contacts with many women, most of them were twisting, pushing, pushing, and shoving, pretending to be ashamed to answer, but in fact, his heart was so sweet and beautiful that he couldn't even hold back his loneliness for a long time, wishing that a man would hug him, or even further intimate touch.

Therefore, he speculated that Peach Blossom must be such a woman, so after touching Peach Blossom's hand for the first time, he thought about the second and third time. Because he has the reputation of "the king of the second hell", although Peach Blossom hates him very much, and of course he is also afraid of him, but considering that he has an uncle to support him, and no one has seen him do anything to him, this is a matter of two people who can't say clearly, so she has been putting up with his unreasonable behavior.

A wicked person like Zheng Chujiang, for his forbearance, he still thought that Peach Blossom was weak and deceitful, and even thought that she was pretending to be high and pure, so he kept looking for opportunities to attack her.

On this day, this opportunity finally made him wait. Just when Peach Blossom reacted very strongly during pregnancy, her mother Qin Guizhi saw that she couldn't stop vomiting, although she also felt sorry for her, but she was angry and annoyed about Peach Blossom's stubborn temper that didn't listen to advice and wilted, and she often muttered on the side: "I said I don't want this child, you just don't listen, a little cub who has no father since birth, and his life is not good!" See how you're going to feed this little thing in the future? When you take the child, you can't even find a mother-in-law, who wants to marry a daughter-in-law with an oil bottle? You just wait for the old home. It's not easy to find a partner for younger brothers and sisters! Hum! ”

For her mother's ridicule and complaints, Peach Blossom's heart is also very uncomfortable, she knows why her mother "hates" her like this, and she understands why her mother is so "ruthless" to herself? It's not just because of the unformed child in her womb, she knows very well that it's because her parents have agreed to her uncle Qin Dachuan's request to marry her to the disgusting Second Yama King Zheng Chujiang. If he insists on giving birth to this child, I am afraid that the king of Eryama will dislike it, and if the king of Eryama gives up the idea of marrying her in anger, I am afraid that he will be sorry for Qin Dachuan, and even offend him, and I am afraid it will not be easy to do anything in the village in the future.

In the real countryside, a flat-headed person living at home will inevitably have a big and small affair, if he offends the village official, what will happen in the future can be imagined. What's more, if he offended a powerful person like Qin Dachuan, he stared at the Lord who didn't recognize his six relatives.

Therefore, her mother Qin Jiaozhi was worried and scared about this, so she kept nagging beside Peach Blossom's ears all day long, eager to beat Peach Blossom's child down with a stick, let her marry out quickly, and must marry the second Yama King, one is to get rid of the family's worries, and the other is to have an explanation to my cousin.

Peach Blossom understands her mother's mind, and of course she also understands her mother's feelings, as a mother, who doesn't love her children? She didn't hate herself, she hated the child in her womb!

Despite this, Peach Blossom had already made up her mind, and she explained to her mother: "I must give birth to this child, this child is not easy, I want to give an explanation to the Liu family and fulfill my promise to my mother-in-law." ”

Yes, it is not easy for this child to come, a woman like Peach Blossom, it can be said that she has this child because of the reputation of "enduring humiliation and burden" and "risking the world's inviolation", how can she give it up easily? Although the army is gone, Liu Haitao is still there, my in-laws are still there, I have to be worthy of my conscience!

This is the main reason why Peach Blossom insists on keeping it and trying to give birth to this child. The whole family, mainly her mother Qin Guizhi, strongly objected, seeing that she was "hungry" and vomited, she stayed at home all day long, couldn't do any work, and often remembered her from time to time, served her, and inevitably complained about her.

Therefore, Peach Blossom knew that she was a burden to eat idle food in her mother's eyes, and she didn't do any work when she was sick, so she tried her best to be diligent with her hands and feet, support her body to wash clothes, cook, and do what she could no matter how uncomfortable she was, and try to block her mother's nagging mouth as much as possible.

No, Peach Blossom's health is a little better today, and her mother told her: "When you are so busy, if you think your body can do it, what are you doing at home?" Go find some work in the fields. ”

She asked, "What is the work in the field?" You just said I'd go. ”

The mother nagged again: "Hmph, we haven't picked the cotton in the field for several days, the ground is as white as snow, and the family is all so busy that no one has time to pick it, I am really afraid that someone will steal it." I see you've been getting better these days, aren't you? Otherwise, you can pick it later, anyway, you will be idle at home. ”

Listen to what this said, anyway, the mother always looks at her unpleasantly, and can always find out her stubble, even if she is sick, she has her words, the mother's meaning and intention are very obvious, that is, she dislikes the peach blossom and is pregnant with this child. Peach Blossom had the heart to argue again, but she thought about it and held back. People often say: You have a thousand clever plans, and I have certain rules. No matter what, I don't want to beat this child, I don't give birth to this child for a day, and I won't leave this house for a day.

After the meal, the peach blossom washed and dried her clothes, she wanted to go to the field now, she looked at the sky, the sun was poisonous at this time, and she was afraid that her body could not stand the sun's baking, she hesitated for a while, or started to pack up the car and baggage and prepare to go to the ground. At this time, her father shouted at her through the window, "What are the peach blossoms doing?" It's so hot, don't you want to die? ”

Peach Blossom said: "Didn't my mother say that our cotton is too white?" I'm afraid I won't be able to pick it up if I'm late. ”

The father said, "If you can't finish picking and pulling down, you have to die, and if you can't finish picking today, there will be tomorrow, so let's go a little cooler later." ”

In this way, Peach Blossom rested at home for a while, it was estimated that the time was almost up, and the sunshine softened a little, so she pushed the cart out of the village.

As everyone knows, at the moment when she left the village, a pair of thief eyes were staring at her back......

The mood of the people who chirp in the summer cicadas fluctuates. The blazing sun shone on the potholed paths, and the corn on both sides of the road was listlessly curling its leaves.

At this time, it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Peach Blossom pushed the cart to the field alone, she looked at the crops like Hutong for a small road, she couldn't help but have some palpitations and panic, but there was no way, if she went back at this time, her mother should be complaining endlessly, she had heard enough, and she really didn't want to stay at home, every time she looked at her mother's drooping face all day long, her heart was very uncomfortable. Thinking of this, she had no choice but to go to the ground.

However, walking alone on the field road, not thinking about those unhappy things, looking at the crops in her eyes, but feeling that her heart was much brighter and happier, in order to give herself courage, she opened her mouth and hummed a little song while walking, only to hear her sing:

What flower bears fruit, and the fruit blooms again?

The flowers bloomed one by one, and they were white from the heart to the outside.

Flowers are pure and cherished, who knows that men don't want to pick, no, they don't want to pick,

If a man picks her, people will laugh when they see her;

The flowers are delicate, the flowers are pitiful, only the woman picks her, and picks her;

The women are all doing it together, carrying their burdens together, and they are coming together......
