Mom kept pressing me to apologize, but I firmly refused to agree.

"You can't ruin your life just because of face. I'm going to break with him and get out of the marriage. ”

"I don't have the ability to snatch him back, but I have learned to keep my mouth shut!" My mother rushed over angrily and was about to beat me, but my eldest brother hurriedly pulled me behind me.

Mother's angry hand poked his forehead: "You brothers and sisters are two and one vine, you want to force me to death, right?" Qiaozhen was dumped, what about you? How many yellow flower girls in the village do you don't want, you only hook up with that mourning star every day, when will you break off with her? ”

Seeing that my brother didn't speak, my mother went back to the house and started to break the dishes and cry.

This is her repertoire, and if we don't follow her wishes, we will make a big fuss, just forcing us to listen to her.

But this time I ignored her, and the eldest brother didn't speak, just chopped pigweed vigorously.

The mourning star that my mother said was Lin Cailian, a widow in the village, who fell in love with my brother, but because her mother hated her identity, she had to break them up. I didn't want them to be together in my previous life, and I even went to Lin Cailian's house to make trouble.

In the end, the eldest brother could only marry a woman he didn't love, and he died of hatred before he was fifty.

I felt very sad in my heart, choked up and said, "Big brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”

My eldest brother rubbed my hair: "What are you talking about?" I haven't eaten for two days, I must be hungry, I just saw a few flour cakes on the stove behind me, I'll bring them to you......"

My mother immediately shouted through the window; "This is for her second sister-in-law Liu Ye, she is pregnant now and needs to supplement nutrition, what kind of fine food does the dead girl who can't get married eat?"

I snorted angrily: "If you don't eat, you won't eat, who is rare!" ”

"Okay, if you have the backbone and don't eat my family's food for the rest of your life, I will obey you!"

"I'm also farming and doing farm work, why can't I eat? My second brother didn't do anything, why did you still go up to the pole and send it over? Other people's mothers have never seen such a mean to their daughter! ”

The eldest brother hurriedly persuaded me: "If you are argued, don't be angry with your mother." ”

"It's useless for you to say anything, I just won't give it to you! Other people's girls can also get dozens of bride price money for their parents! If you can, I'll let you get out of the marriage, and you go get the money! "My mom came out in a rage.

I sneered: "So you're just worried about not getting the bride price." What's the difference between you doing this and selling girls? ”

"You're talking back to me?" She came at me, and my brother hurriedly persuaded me.

Mom took out the cakes and walked out, nagging: "I won't give you anything to eat if I give the mouse!" ”

I said to myself, if you don't give me food, I will be hungry? I went to the backyard and dug out a few potatoes, went to the kitchen, saw that there was still a little spark in the stove, and secretly rejoiced, threw the potatoes in, buried them with unburned firewood and grass, and soon the smell of baked potatoes came out.

I took out one and broke it open and looked at it, it was all golden inside, and the heat was wrapped in a sweet fragrance.

I handed one to my eldest brother, and then I sat with him and ate the fragrant potatoes.

The eldest brother suddenly laughed: "Why are you different from before?" If your mother says that about you, you must go on a hunger strike. ”

"From now on, I will not wronged myself." I saw my mother enter my second brother's yard and asked them where they had gone.

The eldest brother said: "It's at home, your second sister-in-law Liu Ye is not feeling well, and she went back to her parents' house once before coming back." ”

I know in my heart that this matter is so big, my brother and sister-in-law naturally won't know about it. It's just that they have been talking to Du Cheng, and now that he has returned from the army, maybe he will go to the city, of course, he must have a good relationship, so that he will not hide for two days because I have offended useful people.

The eldest brother said: "Mom, just bear with it, she was sad when something like this happened, and she spoke a little ugly." ”

"She's not sad, she's just me disgraced her face." And I know she's not joking, back then, she kept sarcastically mocking me and pushing me away. I could only agree to marry Yu Hongcai, in order to get out of here quickly.

The eldest brother ate the potatoes and went to get the bucket and the flat pole: "I'll go and fetch some water and come back, and the big vat is at the bottom." ”

"I'd better go, I've always done all this work." I want to snatch the pole.

But the eldest brother was unwilling: "The matter between you and Du Cheng is spreading, and the mouths of those people in the village are so poisonous, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." ”

I smiled: "I can't be locked up at home for the rest of my life, let me tell you, my mother must have been cleaning when she goes to the second brother, you take advantage of his lack of coming back for a while, go and see Sister Cailian, my mother has been strict recently, and you haven't done it, right?" ”

The eldest brother didn't react for a while, but the expression on his face was very excited.

I smiled and said, "People can't live for face all the time, and the most important thing is to live happily." You go find her. ”

The eldest brother finally nodded and said, "Okay, if someone in the village says something too ugly, you don't pay attention, I'll come back and help you settle accounts with them." ”

"I know what to expect. There you go! "I pushed my big brother out.

I took a few deep breaths, then picked up the pole and bucket, bolted the door and left.

Along the way, I met some villagers, all of whom looked at me with strange eyes, and some pointed at me, some were surprised, some gloated, and some were afraid of my embarrassment and didn't dare to talk to me.

There are also some people who like to pass on their wife's tongue and talk behind my back: "I was thrown off the pole like this!" Shame on you! ”

"Isn't it, we won't be able to find anyone in our village in the future. If you want to marry, you can only marry a widower. ”

In my previous life, because of these rumors, I didn't dare to go out, I felt sad, but I kept my head up and kept moving forward, I told myself, what's the big deal, I can get through.

The village well is in the middle of the village, and from a distance, you can see several village women chatting at the well, fetching water, washing vegetables, and washing clothes, which is an important place for the village people to gossip.

A dark, thin woman in a floral shirt was smashing the sheets with a mallet, talking excitedly, and her voice was heard far and wide. That person was Duan Qiuyue.

"It's not okay to get married if it's not the right door, I really think I can climb the high branches, and I don't look at what the family is poor. People won't be so stupid! ”

Someone whispered, "She's very sad, don't talk about it." ”

Duan Qiuyue said with a sharp voice: "Whoever asked her to stick upside down all the time, I will scold her for her!" ”

When they saw me coming, several of the women all coughed and reported to her.

Duan Qiuyue's face was not ashamed, she pursed her lips and continued to wash clothes.

I put the flat shoulder down and took the initiative to say hello to them: "You are all here, auntie, have you eaten?" ”

Duan Qiuyue raised her head and smiled: "I've eaten, but I haven't seen you for two days." Why didn't it come out? "It's clear that I asked knowingly, and everyone is looking at me.

I smiled and carried the bucket over: "My mother thought I made trouble at Du's house that day and locked me up for two days, and I was indeed too impulsive." ”

She didn't expect me to bring up this stubble myself, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Gao Yue, the wife of the carpenter in the village, said with a smile: "Qiao'er, this matter is actually nothing, it's just an engagement or a marriage, just look for it, you must want to open it." ”

I smiled and said, "Auntie, what you said was that I was so noisy at the time, all I knew was to withdraw from the marriage, and I didn't know, and I thought it was a death lawsuit." ”

Duan Qiuyue hurriedly said, "Then haven't you worked for others for three years?" How much does it cost to hire a permanent worker? How can you post it so upside down? ”

I knew that she was deliberately stabbing my heart, but I still smiled and said: "Auntie, Du Cheng went to be a soldier at the beginning, to protect the family and defend the country, we are all villagers in the township, and if we can help, we will naturally help." If you think I'm at a loss, why don't you help me talk to the Du family? If you ask for the salary, let's divide it equally. ”

The crowd laughed.

Duan Qiuyue turned the quilt cover over and continued to beat it, and said with a smile: "You have been working for other men's families, and in the future, if you have a mother-in-law's family, if you are a little wrong, can they still tolerate you." You're not afraid that they will keep talking about this? ”

"I'm helping people, not harming people, and I haven't done anything hurtful, so what's there to be afraid of?" I sneered.

Duan Qiuyue continued to laugh and said: "That is, you are new ideas, different from us, if we divorce at that time, we must not be drowned by the spitting stars?" You're fine. ”
