It is said that it is nearly dusk, the pond fish return to the abyss, the smoke is called, and the passenger travels together.

Dong'er, who was in a coarse cloth long skirt, carried a food box and stepped on the sunset as scheduled.

When he entered the house, he didn't talk to Yang Ping'an, put the coarse tea and light rice on the table, and then picked up Yang Ping'an's changed clothes, walked to the courtyard and washed them. It's like a maid subordinate, resigned to fate and has no complaints.

Sitting at the table, eating the unpalatable meals sent by Dong'er, and looking at Dong'er who was squatting outside the door to wash the laundry and wipe the sweat off his face from time to time, Yang Ping'an felt a little unbearable.

By the time Dong'er returned to the house, it was already dark. She was very skilled in lighting the fuel lamp, put away the food box and was about to leave, Yang Ping'an said, "You wait a minute." ”

"What do you want to do!" Dong'er, who was already holding a string in her heart, suddenly became nervous, hugged the food box to her chest, her back against the door of the house, and her breathing accelerated.

For his words, Yang Ping'an apologized for bringing such a fright to Dong'er, a kind woman.

"I have something to ask you. I was badly injured a few days ago, why didn't you abandon me? I think if it weren't for you, I'd be ...... Are you in love with me? ”

"Nope!" Dong'er's voice suddenly rose an octave.

"Then why did you save me? Know that if I die, you will be free. ”

Dong'er didn't answer directly, but her body couldn't help trembling, and she muttered repeatedly: "What you said, you won't be lighter than me, you can't talk doesn't count." ”

This gentle girl! Yang Ping'an has already understood that the reason why Dong'er did not go to the black feet like others, but saved herself, I am afraid it is just because of her kindness.

"Here's for you." Yang Ping'an took out dozens of copper coins and put them on the table.

Today, after breaking up with the oil powder trio, he had three more pieces of silver and more than 60 copper coins, which were given to him by the oil powder trio.

"What do you want to do!" Dong'er didn't move, and her face was even paler because she was already bloodless because of her malnutrition from hard work.

Yang Ping'an took two steps back and said in as calm a tone as possible: "Thanks to you a few days ago, these can be regarded as thanks." And you also need silver to buy medicine, and if these are not enough, there is still one here. ”

There were three more pieces of silver on the table.

Seeing this scene, Dong'er became even more nervous, and tears rolled in her eyes: "What else do you want!" I have taken care of you three meals a day according to your request, washed and cleaned the house for you, and let people point fingers behind your back, saying that I do not abide by women's morals, and now you still want to humiliate me......"

Dong'er's words came to an abrupt end, her body fell to the ground with a crooked body, the food box in her hand fell to the ground and grunted, and finally rolled to Yang Ping'an's feet.

Regarding Dong'er's life experience, Yang Ping'an heard a little from the mouth of the oil powder trio, which was very pitiful.

Dong'er's life has always been very bitter.

Since she was a child, she was sold to the Xie family by her biological father for fifty yuan to become a child daughter-in-law, and she married the stupid son of the Xie family just after waiting for Jilu. The Xie family originally had some family assets, but the stupid son of the Xie family was seriously ill when he was sixteen years old. In order to treat him, the Xie family sold his property, almost surrounded by walls, but there was still no effect.

Marriage has long been considered an effective means of healing. Although the Xie family is dilapidated, there is still Dong'er, a child daughter-in-law, and Dong'er was only thirteen years old at that time.

However, the stupid son of the Xie family, Fubo, couldn't stand the excitement on the night of the cave room, and only Dong'er, a thirteen-year-old widow, was left.

The Xie family's in-laws have a middle-aged child, and they regard their stupid son as a treasure. Now that she has lost her son in old age, she is even more angry with Dong'er in addition to grief, thinking that she is Kefu. Since then, she has been scolded and scolded in every way, if it weren't for the fact that Dong'er still needs to serve them, I'm afraid that Dong'er would have been tortured to death.

The kind-hearted Dong'er guards the woman's way and never resists back, but just endures it silently. However, God seems to be specially torturing the miserable, and three years later, Xiu Cai'an, who was the master of the Four Tigers, stretched out his claws to Dong'er.

In order to protect her chastity, Dong'er became a subordinate in Xiucai'an's family, a maid, an old mother and so on. Because she often goes in and out of the Yang family, the neighbors only think that she can't bear the loneliness, Hongxing goes out of the wall and points at her, and the Xie family's in-laws are afraid of Xiucai'an's Yinwei, and considering that they can't do without Dong'er's service, they can't bear it, and their attitude towards Dong'er is even worse.

Dong'er, who is only seventeen years old, makes some female celebrities for others every time and earns some meager money to support her family. Taking care of the in-laws' daily life for three meals is already stretched, and now with the addition of a Xiucai'an, it has become even more difficult.

At this time, Yang Ping'an didn't know that the dinner he felt difficult to swallow was a delicacy for Dong'er. Because a few days ago, she had to buy medicine for Yang Ping'an to treat her injuries and take care of Yang Ping'an's injuries, Dong'er lost a long-term job, and now she can only do some scattered work, and there are only a dozen mosquitoes per day.

These dozen mosquitoes can barely meet Yang Ping'an and the Xie family's in-laws for three meals, and Dong'er has only relied on cold water for three or four days.

She was weak, but after Yang Ping'an was so frightened, she finally collapsed.

The sky was dark, the silver platters were hanging high, the moonlight was bright, and the insects were screaming.

Dong'er woke up smelling the fragrance. When she opened her eyes, she saw a bowl of rice porridge in front of her, steaming hot, exuding the fragrance of rice, which caused the worms in her stomach to growl.

Am I dreaming? Dong'er looked at the porridge bowl in front of her in disbelief, and her eyes turned red. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had drunk rice porridge. Since the decline of the Xie family, she has never eaten a grain of white rice.

However, when she moved up the porridge bowl and saw the familiar and frightening handsome face, she suddenly screamed, sat up with all her might, and found that she was lying on Yang Ping'an's bed, tears streaming down: "You beast!" ”

"Don't get me wrong, I just helped you to the bed and didn't touch you!" Yang Ping'an hurriedly dodged and carefully guarded the porridge bowl, "Look at your clothes!" ”

Realizing that her clothes were complete, Dong'er breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still frightened, curled up in the corner of the bed, wrapped in a thin quilt, and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

I don't know how many times these five words have come out of Dong'er's mouth tonight, as if she can only say this.

"Have you not eaten in days? Don't lie to me, I found Lang Zhong after you passed out. ”

"What does it have to do with you?"

Yang Ping'an's heart was sour, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You can drink this bowl of porridge." ”

"Don't." Dong'er firmly refused, "It's getting late, if I don't go back, it's time to worry my in-laws." ”

"How did they ever care about you?"

The torture of Dong'er by the Xie family's in-laws, Yang Ping'an did not come from the mouth of the oil powder trio.

After Dong'er fainted, Yang Ping'an was worried, so he went out to find the doctor. However, at this time, the medicine shops in the city were all closed, so he could only rush to obey the power, kicked open the door of the neighbor's house, and found out a middle-aged man, on the condition that he would not pursue the other party's black feet on him, and obtained an address from the other party.

Yang Ping'an relied on Yinwei to force him to come and treat Dong'er, only to know that Dong'er was weak and should have not eaten.

In line with the principle of not bothering the two masters, he kicked the door of the neighbor again, dropped the three pennies and grabbed a handful of brown rice, he planned to make porridge for Dong'er, a kind girl who worked hard.

Eggs replenish the body, but the neighbors are not rich, and there is no such luxury as eggs. However, the middle-aged man seemed to want to cause trouble, or because he was afraid of Yang Ping'an's black feet, he not only told Yang Ping'an that a family across the door had two hens, but also told Dong'er's in-laws about Dong'er's troubles and tortures.

So Yang Ping'an kicked open a wooden door again, and under the other party's stunned eyes, he turned out two eggs, dropped ten copper coins, and left calmly.

Boil water, boil porridge, boil eggs, break porridge, mix thoroughly.

After the broken egg porridge is boiled, add a little salty salt and bring it to the winter bed.

But Dong'er didn't appreciate it, although her stomach was growling, she didn't look at the porridge bowl, and she got up and got out of bed to leave.

"You dare!" Yang Ping'an was helpless, so he could only put on the face of a bully who showed off his talents, "If you dare to go, I will be strong now...... I took your body! ”

Hearing this, Dong'er's steps were unsteady, her body shook, and her face was full of horror: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Drink this bowl of porridge, and not a drop will be left!"

Dong'er was shocked, and Yang Ping'an was eyeing him. The two were silent for a moment, Dong'er took the porridge bowl tremblingly, sat on the bed and picked up the spoon.

took a sip like chewing wax, and glanced at Yang Ping'an vigilantly; Take a sip like white water, and then look at it vigilantly; Then comes the third mouthful, the third eye; Fourth bite, fourth look......

When she took the eighth sip, Dong'er seemed to suddenly regain her sense of taste, only to feel that the porridge was full of fragrance, and her body became warmer.

Gradually, Dong'er's wariness gradually receded, but looking at Yang Ping'an, who was sitting in the distance, holding a bowl of porridge that warmed his palms, drinking fragrant rice porridge, his cold hands and feet gradually warmed, and for some reason his nose was sour, and tears rolled down again......

Drink spoonful by spoonful. A bowl of porridge is not much, and it will soon bottom out. After Dong'er scraped the bowl as clean as if it had been washed, she slowly got up with the bowl.

"You don't have to brush the bowl, I'll do it myself." Yang Ping'an said. Seeing Dong'er's surprised eyes, he added: "That, don't look at me like this, I have changed my mind and changed my ways." ”

"Repentance?" Dong'er is an attentive girl who discovered the changes in Yang Ping'an after recovering from her injury.

"Well, that's right!"

"Then, can I not use your house to clean and deliver food in the future?" Dong'er asked boldly.

Yang Ping'an shook his head without hesitation: "No." ”

"Oh." Dong'er replied softly, as if she had already guessed the answer, "Then, can I leave now?" ”

"Take the three pennies."

"I don't want your money!" Dong'er seemed to be extremely resistant to Yang Ping'an's gift of silver.

Yang Ping'an scratched his head, and suddenly lifted his sleeves: "Look, I had another fight with someone today and injured my arm, you can take this money, help me buy medicine tomorrow, and buy some wine and meat when I deliver food." To be honest, the food a few days ago tasted really bad. ”

At noon the next day, Dong'er, who was a little ruddy, came, but the food she brought was not wine and meat, but the same as before......
