Chapter 78: The Bitter Man
There were many people watching, but none of them stopped them.
Shen Qingqing is also a person who has an uneven temperament, put Xiaodouding on the carriage and went down by himself, thinking about it, he pulled a big brother who was watching the excitement and asked, "Big brother, what is going on?" ”
The eldest brother saw that Shen Qingqing's words were proper and she was beautiful, so she couldn't help but say a few more words: "Sister, you can't see it clearly, this is obviously a bully molesting a woman from a good family." ”
"It's clearly teasing a woman from a good family? But why didn't anyone come forward? ”
The eldest brother glanced at Shen Qingqing and hurriedly coughed twice: "This person, but we are a famous bully in our town, who dares to provoke it." ”
When Shen Qingqing was just about to ask something, the noise attracted all her attention: "Today you have to obey, and if you don't, you have to obey me!" How can the woman you like not get the reason. ”
The woman looked innocent, a wooden hairpin picked up her black hair, and the clothes on her body were also tattered, and she hid behind from time to time: "Although I am selling my body, you also have to pay silver taels, I am selling my body to bury my father, I will not marry you as a bully." ”
"Bully?" The man was angry and raised his hand to slap the woman in the face.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, the bully's strength was intercepted, and when he shook his head, he saw that Shen Qingqing was already standing in front of him holding his wrist.
The woman let go of his wrist, only glanced at him, and helped the woman to her feet.
A large sign was also written directly in front of the woman: "The woman's name is Yulian, and she sold herself to bury her father." ”
This is really art comes from life, the plot of selling himself to bury his father in the TV series that Shen Qingqing watched before thought it was fake, but now it seems that it is indeed true.
Then Shen Qingqing glanced at the sign and looked at Yulian: "You want to sell yourself to bury your father?" ”
Yulian was a little frightened by the bullies, and her hands and feet curled up, looking extremely timid: "Yes, I ...... I sold myself to bury my father. ”
Shen Qingqing took out ten taels of silver from his purse: "Then I'll buy you, and this bully won't bully you anymore." ”
The bully didn't have any money, and when he saw Shen Qingqing hugging unevenly, he just wanted to say something, only to see that the housekeeper had already come down and took out a jade brand.
It is a jade brand unique to the Yu family, regardless of whether it is the government or the bully, it has to give a few thin noodles.
The bully also saw that Shen Qingqing was not a person to provoke, and left after two mouthfuls of spit.
Seeing that the lively crowd gradually dispersed, Na Yulian knelt on the ground, crying and shouting for a while: "Thank you, thank you for this lady, you bought me, and I will use you as a cow and a horse in the future." ”
Shen Qingqing didn't like this, so he just helped her up: "How did you fall to such a point?" ”
Although the previous years were not good, but now the life is much better, and it will never fall to the point of selling himself to bury his father.
When Yulian heard this, she sobbed quietly again: "Blame me for being cheap." When I was young, my mother died, and a few years ago we had a famine here, and my father was seriously ill and died, and I wanted him to be buried in the ground, but I didn't have any silver in my hand so I wanted to sell myself to bury my father. ”
"Then you don't have any relatives and friends in your family?" Shen Qingqing pulled her to sit down under the tea shed next to her and bought her a bowl of tea.
That Yulian was originally drinking tea, but when she heard Shen Qingqing's question, she cried even more: "Madam, don't mention it." My uncles and uncles are all vicious people, and when they saw that I was a woman who was helpless, they all the family property was divided, and even our house and land were sold, where can I get money? ”
There are many people who are miserable in these years.
Shen Qingqing felt sad for a while, she took the ten taels of silver and put it into Yulian's hand: "These ten taels of silver are estimated to be able to bury your father, and there will be a balance, you can see what way out you can find." ”
Yulian's eyes widened when she heard Shen Qingqing say it, and the emotions that had just stabilized directly knelt down: "Madam, don't you want me?" Don't you want me anymore? ”
"I ......" Shen Qingqing didn't know what to say.
And that Yulian cried again: "I am a woman who is helpless, since my wife bought me, then be merciful and take me, otherwise I will have nowhere to go." ”
Shen Qingqing looked left and right at the bully who hadn't left on the street, and Yulian was timid, plus she was beautiful, and it was estimated that she didn't cause much trouble, and if she was left alone, she wouldn't have survived for long.
A good person does it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, anyway, she has more money in her hand, you can afford to raise Yulian an idler.
Thinking about it, he helped her up: "In that case, then you can follow me." ”
"Donsev ......"
Before Yulian finished speaking, Shen Qingqing shook her head and smiled to help her wipe the stains on her face: "I can say it first, I'm not a lady, I'm just a peasant girl, as long as you don't dislike working hard with me." ”
"How could it be...... How could it be ......" Yulian shook her head, her eyes and face were covered with tears. "As long as I have a bite to eat, I will definitely go to the soup for you."
"Look at what you said." Shen Qingqing smiled. "How can there be anything to go to the soup in these years, you don't have to call me Mrs., I don't think there is much difference in age between the two of us, you can call me sister in the future."
"Sister...... Sister. Yulian shouted and quickly wiped her nose.
Yulian got the silver taels and let her father be buried, for Shen Qingqing, this may be just a merciful kindness, but for Yulian, it changed the fate of her life.
The carriage traveled another day before reaching Anning Village, and the butler drank a cup of tea at home and went back.
went out for seven days in a row, and when Shen Qingqing came back, she also brought a strange woman, which caused a lot of turmoil in the village.
Not to mention those good things broken mouths, even the men who were working in the family couldn't help but say, "Who is this woman that Shen Qingqing brought back?" ”
"Then who knows, she's been out for so many days, and this woman's accent looks like a foreigner, could she be some kind of bad person?"
The people in the village had different opinions, and in the end, Shen Qingqing had no choice, so he specially looked for a day and grabbed melon seeds and went to the entrance of the village where the broken mouth woman likes to gather.
The broken-mouthed mother-in-law saw Shen Qingqing coming, and for a while she was suspicious and hurriedly greeted enthusiastically: "Yo, why is Qingqing so idle today?" ”
"Hey, since my godsister came, I haven't been busy at home every day."
"Godsister?" Sure enough, the broken-mouthed women asked. "Is that your godsister?"
Shen Qingqing also climbed up: "You don't know yet, that woman's name is Yulian, she is my godsister, but she is not a serious person." ”
The mother-in-law all glanced at each other and knew it in their hearts, so that the people in the village no longer doubted Yulian's identity.
And when Shen Qingqing returned home, the kitchen was already curling with smoke, and Xiao Douding was catching birds in the yard, and saw Shen Qingqing coming over and running over and jumping: "Mother, look, this is the sandbag that Aunt Yulian made for me, isn't it good?" ”
Xiao Douding held a colorful sandbag in his hand and raised it in front of Shen Qingqing, Shen Qingqing took it and looked at the sandbag with dense stitches and embroidered patterns, which was very exquisite.
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, your Aunt Yulian's hands are more skillful than mine." ”
"My sister is back." Yulian poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the sound, still holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and when she saw Shen Qingqing, she spoke. "Sister, you go and sit in the house for a while, and this bowl of rice will be ready immediately."
"What did you make?"
"I'm going to stew that catfish, Xiaodouding said a few days ago that I want to eat braised pork, and then burn a pot of braised pork, what does my sister think?"
The arrangement is so thoughtful, can Shen Qingqing say no?
This Yulian can be regarded as a good girl, she has been in the house for a few days to clean up the house inside and out, and the meals at noon this morning and noon are all rushed to make, and there is no need for Shen Qingqing to mention it.
Since it is said that the two of them are sisters, Yulian treats herself as a maid, and she rushes to do all the dirty work.
Shen Qingqing walked into the kitchen and saw that there was indeed a fish stewed in the iron pot, and there were a few pieces of white tofu floating on it, and she was cutting the pork belly.
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but lean against the door, Yulian saw Shen Qingqing's movements, but she was stunned and her face became anxious: "Sister, is there something wrong with me?" ”
"It's not...... No. Shen Qingqing hurriedly shook his head. It's you who did a great job, I think about where you live now, clean up the room where Xiaodouding lives, or let you live. ”
When Yulian heard this, tears were about to fall, she wiped her hand and held Shen Qingqing and wanted to speak, but she couldn't say a word.
Shen Qingqing just patted her hair: "In the future, the three of us will live a good life." ”
"Okay, the three of us have a good life." Yulian repeated this sentence, her heart full of gratitude.
Shen Qingqing was not idle, and she cleaned up Xiaodouding's house in the gap where Yulian was cooking.
It is said that this little bean should have lived in a room by himself a long time ago, but the child is very clingy to Shen Qingqing, and he has always refused to go, and he didn't think that the room would be used as a grocery room.
Shen Qingqing took out all the miscellaneous things inside, and put on the bed with a new cover, afraid that it would be cold in the house this winter, so he made a pot of charcoal fire, and worked hard for a while before cleaning it up and tidying up.
And Yulian has already made the rice, the tofu stewed fish is the most capable of eating, Xiaodouding ate two large bowls, Shen Qingqing also ate a lot, Yulian washed the dishes and chopsticks and a few people fell asleep.
Outside, the moon quietly poked its head out, and it was covered by dark clouds, Anning Village will always be peaceful, no matter how the long river of history goes, the imprint left by the working people will not be washed away.
