Chapter 33: A Turning Point

I hurriedly shook my head and smiled: "I'm just a worker hired by her, and I'm here for work, how could she do this." ”

I didn't expect such a good thing, and I didn't want to scold her, at best, we were just a village, why would people help me fly up the branches?

I slept soundly that night, and I knew I could finally sleep peacefully for a few days.

Because Sister-in-law Bai said that if there is a man who is harassing us, all men's wages will be deducted for a day.

These people don't care about face, but they care about money, otherwise they will work hard for a day, and after touching a woman's buttocks, they will be gone, can they do it?

So by supervising each other, naturally nothing like this will happen.

I think that except for some poor people, most of these people are like Sun Laosi and others, the blind second-rate people in the village, and the overbearing livestock, relying on the threat of the white sister-in-law alone may not be useful, so they have to think of other ways to protect themselves.

So in the next few days, in addition to working and boiling some boiling water, I also helped the driver cook some food when my sister-in-law couldn't come in the morning. There are a lot of wild vegetables in the area, so I picked the ones that don't taste too bitter and picked a lot of them.

Wash it and either mix some cold dishes after hot water, or stir-fry, which can be regarded as adding some food to everyone. Sometimes when my sister-in-law buys a lot of meat, I fry some oil for stir-frying.

I know their preferences: big oil and salt, more soy sauce and chili peppers.

Therefore, when the vegetables are stewed, the big guys are very happy to eat, and they go out to the store to eat less. A lot of women feel that I saved money for their husbands and are grateful to me.

Once a man went to find a place to go to the toilet, and unexpectedly found a dozen wild duck eggs, I added eggs and green onions, and made a large pot of egg cakes, and everyone could get a large piece.

Later, someone found some mushrooms and used them with wild camellia and a little batter to make a fresh soup for the big guy, and everyone drank it quite happily. Because of these foods, although Sister-in-law Bai only gave us two meals a day, we didn't spend any more money to buy snacks or anything.

After all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and these men can only eat well because of us women, so they are naturally embarrassed to find opportunities to make obscene jokes. Except for Sun Laosi, who has been nagging me to be a shrew, everyone else is good, and occasionally someone passes by my land and will help me cut a few rice, which is considered to be a reward for me.

Aunt Fang was very angry when she heard Sun Laosi scolding me: "This bastard is shameless to play hooligans by himself, and even says that people are shrews?" ”

I smiled: "As long as he doesn't recruit me, he can scold him." ”

"But if this news reaches the village..."

"Auntie, you don't think I'm a bad person, do you?"

"Of course! You're the best girl I've ever met. Aunt Fang took my hand and looked at me distressedly: "It's just that my life is not good, why was a good girl divorced." I'm also worried that Sun Laosi will go back and publicize it, your reputation will be even worse, and it will be even more difficult to marry in the future! ”

I smiled and said, "As long as the people I have come into contact with think I'm a good person, that's fine, as for the other wives, I don't care about them." ”

Aunt Fang didn't expect my character to be so strong, so she didn't say anything, just nodded and sighed.

For the rest of the day, life was the same rhythm every day, repeated: getting up, working hard and numbing, eating, working, sleeping, getting up and working......

Women are like men, and men are like animals.

In the later stage, in order to let us rush the progress, Sister-in-law Bai bought all the big fish and meat, but we couldn't eat it, and even the men had almost no appetite, almost all of them finished the meal with a few chopsticks and then fell asleep.

I had a thick callouse on my hands, my arms and shoulders were like they had been hit by stones, and the slightest movement hurt to death, and my clothes were loose and loose on my body, and I lost a lot of weight, and I didn't look in the mirror, I don't know what it was like now, but I saw Aunt Fang and other daughters-in-law, all of whom were dark and red, and their skin was a lot rougher, and I knew in my heart that I would never be much better.

But everyone persevered, and on the last day, when everyone got up in the morning, they hardly spoke, their heads bowed, and they worked desperately, and there was only the sound of a large sickle cutting rice......

Finally, we cut the last little pieces of rice and threw them on the flat ground, forming a big stack of mountains.

Everyone was excited, and several daughters-in-law sat on the ground and covered their mouths and cried. Aunt Fang and I also cried, this work is finished, I am really tired, and I am afraid that this is how it will be to go to hell.

Everyone sat there washing their faces and changing clothes, sitting at the door, looking forward to the white sister-in-law coming.

The man was smoking cigarettes, squatting there and rubbing his hands, and the woman was drawing circles on the ground with a stick, counting the amount of money she should get. The white sister-in-law finally came, carrying a big lump of meat in her hand, and said with a smile; "Tonight for everyone to improve their lives. I'll give you the money. I see you're doing a good job, plus thirty-five for one person! ”

"Great!" Everyone was so excited that some even jumped up.

The white sister-in-law gave the meat to the driver, asked him to take it in to wash the stir-fried vegetables, and then greeted everyone one by one to calculate the wages.

Everyone's land area is different, so there is less money, and some people earn more because of the large land area. But whoever it is, it's all jubilant.

The man crouched on the ground, counting the money with his hand in his spit.

Several women carefully put the money in their underwear pockets, and then took their leave. Except for some second-rate people who were going to stay here and wait for dinner, most of them were ready to go home before it was dark.

The quarrelsome couple also became intimate at this time, because the money they earned could not only pay off the debt, but also a large balance.

The woman was very happy, and thanked me before leaving: "It was you who cooked the meal that day, so that he didn't go out to eat meat with those second-rate people, I'm really worried that he is learning from others." ”

I hurriedly said, "It's nothing, I just want everyone to eat better." ”

"Qiaozhen, you are really a good person, and I told you about this because I wanted to repay you." She hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Your second brother and my husband gamble in the same place, and now you owe a lot of money to the second bolt." My husband said at least two hundred. ”

I was taken aback: "There are so many!" ”

The woman nodded, "Yes." The second bolt wants to take away your second brother's house because of this. This time, when we came to work, my husband also approached your second brother and asked him to make money to pay off the debt, but he didn't take it seriously at all, he said that he was rich. Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about this, let's go! She said and left with her husband.

I stood there dumbfounded, tears falling uncontrollably.

How could there be such a shameless and irresponsible man, who had already owed eighty yuan in foreign debt because he married his daughter-in-law, and he even went to gamble! How could Mom have so much money? If he and my mom knew about the money I had just earned, they would definitely force me to take it out.

No way! I can't let them just fill this bottomless pit with my hard-earned money!

At this time, I heard the white sister-in-law say with a smile; "What, don't you finish your meal before leaving? It's a stew tonight. ”

One said: "Forget it, we can only stay here for one night after eating, so we want to go back to eat." ”

Aunt Fang also said; "Not really! My children don't know how hungry their father has been in the past few days, so I'd better go back. ”

Before leaving, she grabbed me and said a few more words.

"You're a good girl, don't do such work in the future. I'm so tired! It's a pity that I don't know anyone either, otherwise I would introduce you to a good partner. ”

"No, I hadn't thought of that yet." I thought that she had been taking care of me for the past few days, so I was a little reluctant and couldn't help crying.

She smiled at me and said, "Why are you crying?" It's not like we can't see each other again? I go to the county every week to sell needles and threads, you just have to look for it and see me. ”

"That's okay, Aunt Fang, I'm going to look for you!" I watched Aunt Fang leave.

Sister-in-law Bai came to me: "Are you reluctant to let her go, and forget all your wages?" ”

I wiped my tears embarrassedly: "No, I just feel very grateful to her." ”

"Well, we rural women are all good. You're also good. Give you money. She said and handed me a handful of money.

When I took it, I thought it was too much, and when I counted it, there were two hundred and twenty pieces.

I was anxious to say something, but the white sister-in-law smiled and pressed my hand: "You take it, I've heard about it, you help them boil water and cook, and also, your work is the hardest and most tiring, I won't give you more, I'm afraid that people will poke my backbone!" ”

"But that's too much."

"It's nothing." She looked at no one around her, and whispered: "I won't tell you, I have made a lot of money this time, and this is what you deserve, you take it!" ”

I was so happy that I put the money away.

She asked me if I was going home, and I started to feel a little embarrassed.

The eldest brother and Lin Cailian estimated that it would take another two or three days to return to the village, and I couldn't enter her yard without the key. But let me go back to my mother's side, doesn't it mean that I want to admit defeat and marry Yu Hongcai? What's more, I have so much money on me, and she and her second brother know about it and snatch it, so I can do it for nothing.

Ask someone else? My best friend Liu Cui has married and left the village, although Sun Hong is good to me, but her mother is Duan Qiuyue, so it is impossible to agree.

Seeing my expression, Sister-in-law Bai smiled and said, "Why don't you go home with me?" ”

"No... No need ......"

"Don't worry, I'm yellow with me, and now I live alone, and no one is bullying you."

I hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, I just didn't want to trouble you." ”

"It's all a village, what's the trouble, not to mention that I still have something to tell you, let's go!" She pulled me forward.
