"How much money do we have left? Mother. Yang Qiuchi asked cautiously.

"How much? The money for your daughter-in-law is scraped together to get enough. Later, you harmed other people's maids, and the He family wanted to twist you and send you to the official for punishment, in order to protect you from being sent to the official, we even sold the land, and the family went bankrupt to make up eighty taels of silver to compensate the He family. Otherwise, how could our family be so miserable now, and how could there be any money now! ”

"So what do we rely on now? Is there still land? ”

"Ground? After this incident, the fields were all sold, and your father was angry to death. Our mother was forced to leave Yangjia Village to come to the county seat, rented a few acres of vegetable land to grow vegetables and sell them, Pingli, your daughter-in-law and I sewed and washed for others to earn a few copper dollars, said that when the son really can't help, your father-in-law also gives some firewood, rice, oil and salt and the like, and can get by. ”

"My father-in-law? Where? Yang Qiuchi glanced at Feng Xiaoxue, who was busy in front of the stove, and asked.

Mother Yang wanted to speak and stopped, but after thinking about it, she finally said: "Your father-in-law is from Fengjia Village, and he also lives by farming...... They are also in trouble. "It seems that when the father-in-law received his son-in-law, he was probably not very good at speaking, and Mother Yang was like this.

Yang Qiuchi comforted: "Mother, don't worry, I will work hard to earn money to support my family in the future, and I won't let my father-in-law laugh at me again!" ”

Mother Yang smiled reluctantly: "That's good!" But what he said in his heart was, "In the future, if you don't make trouble, you will be Amitabha." ”

Feng Xiaoxue said: "The meal is ready, let's eat!" After that, after setting up the dishes and chopsticks, Yang Qiuchi wanted to help, but was pushed down by Feng Xiaoxue with a smile.

After the meal was arranged, Mother Yang picked up the chopsticks, looked at Yang Qiuchi, who was sitting stupidly, and said, "Son, eat quickly, the food is going to be cold." ”

Yang Qiuchi looked around the table: "Why don't you have any wine?" ”

Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue glanced at each other, and the smiles on their faces were a little stiff. Feng Xiaoxue's face turned even paler. Yang Qiuchi clearly felt that Feng Xiaoxue was trembling slightly.

Mother Yang said: "Yes, yes, my son returned safely today, he should drink some wine to celebrate!" He turned his head to Feng Xiaoxue and said, "Xiaoxue, you go and sell a pot of wine and come back!" He took out the money Yang Qiuchi had just given, counted ten copper coins, and handed it to Feng Xiaoxue.

Feng Xiaoxue agreed lightly, stood up, and took a wine gourd from behind the door.

Yang Qiuchi said: "It's better for me to go with you, it's not safe for you to be alone." ”

Feng Xiaoxue smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, I'm familiar with the way, you talk to your mother at home." ”

When they were talking, the little black dog had been lying quietly beside Yang Qiuchi, Yang Qiuchi touched the little black dog's head and said, "Then, let Xiao Hei go with you, and you will have a companion." patted the little black dog's buttocks and pointed at Feng Xiaoxue, the little black dog seemed to understand what Yang Qiuchi meant, got up and walked to Feng Xiaoxue's side, looked up at Feng Xiaoxue, and wagged his little tail.

Feng Xiaoxue was a little scared: "She won't bite me, right?" ”

Judging from the performance of the little black dog today, Yang Qiuchi was sure that this little black dog was very psychic and could distinguish who was his own person and who was the enemy, so he smiled and said: "No, you are also its owner, how could she bite you?" I promise! ”

Feng Xiaoxue nodded, pushed the door and went out, and the little black dog followed her out.

Yang Qiuchi closed the door and said, "Mother, I knew that there was no wine at home, and we should have bought some wine on the way just now, so as not to let Xiaoxue run away." Thinking of Feng Xiaoxue's slight trembling appearance just now, he asked, "Mother, is Xiaoxue afraid of me drinking?" ”

Mother Yang looked at Yang Qiuchi and sighed: "Alas~! Son, you can't remember, in the past, when you got drunk, you went crazy and beat Xiaoxue to death, so when Xiaoxue heard that you were going to drink, she would be scared like that. After a pause, he took Yang Qiuchi's hand, "Don't beat her again after you drink tonight, it's not easy for her to be in our house." ”

God, the dead man who beats his wife when he gets drunk is still not a human being. Yang Qiuchi was angry and ashamed, how could he replace such a person's **, God really doesn't have long eyes!

After a while, the door was pushed open, and a black shadow rushed in, Yang Qiuchi was about to check, the black shadow had already arrived at his side, it turned out to be a little black dog. Xiao Hei circled around Yang Qiuchi, wagging his little tail and snorting through his nose. Yang Qiuchi affectionately touched the little black dog's head.

Feng Xiaoxue also entered the door with a gourd of wine: "After two catties of burning knives, the shopkeeper said that this wine is powerful, but you have to drink it slowly." He took a small wine glass and poured wine for Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi picked up the wine glass and smelled it, the wine was strong, it was really powerful, and said: "Mother, Xiaoxue, you can also drink a little, there is stewed tiger meat today!" Haven't eaten it."

Xiaoxue smiled reluctantly: "Husband, I don't know how to drink." ”

"It's okay, drink a little, I'm here, it's okay! My husband asked you to drink it, but you still don't drink it? Feng Xiaoxue didn't dare to disobey, he didn't know that the current husband was no longer the husband he used to be, and he was still worried that after the husband got drunk, his suffering would begin. silently took two small wine glasses and poured them for Yang's mother and herself.

Yang Qiuchi watched Feng Xiaoxue pour wine, saw her worried look, and knew that she was afraid of being beaten by her former husband, so he leaned into her ear and whispered: "Xiaoxue, don't worry, I won't beat you again in the future, whether I drink or not, I won't do what that beast does." I swear! With that, he raised his palm.

Feng Xiaoxue's hand holding the wine jug shook slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at Yang Qiuchi, as if she wanted to see how much sincerity there was in his eyes. Yang Qiuchi looked at her tenderly and nodded slightly, as if to express his determination. If Feng Xiaoxue didn't have that black spot on her face, she could really be regarded as a perfect wife. Yang Qiuchi has begun to like this supple little wife in his heart.

Feng Xiaoxue felt her husband's sincerity, her eyes flashed with joy, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Nodding slightly, he glanced at his husband gratefully before lowering his head and filling his glass.

Yang Qiuchi picked up his wine glass: "Mother, Xiaoxue, I have done a lot of bad things in the past, and I will change my past mistakes in the future and be a good man, please believe me." "Raise your glass and drink it all.

Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue glanced at each other, they were very happy in their hearts, and they all dried up their cups.

Feng Xiaoxue didn't know how to drink, and when she drank a sip of wine, her throat was so hot that she choked and coughed. Yang Qiuchi hurriedly sandwiched a piece of tiger meat stewed and raked, sent it to Feng Xiaoxue's mouth, and signaled to feed her. Feng Xiaoxue was a little flattered, hesitated for a moment, blushed and opened her mouth slightly to bite the tiger meat.

Yang Qiuchi didn't let go of the chopsticks, opened his mouth, and made a sigh, meaning to let Feng Xiaoxue's mouth open a little wider. Feng Xiaoxue had to open her cherry-like mouth. Yang Qiuchi sent his chopsticks in, and stuffed the piece of tiger meat into Feng Xiaoxue's small mouth. Feng Xiaoxue chewed slowly, turned her head and saw Yang Mu looking at her kindly, her face turned even redder.

Yang Qiuchi sandwiched two pieces of tiger meat for Yang's mother, and then sandwiched a bone with meat, and was about to throw it to the little black dog to eat. Feng Xiaoxue chewed the piece of tiger meat in her mouth, pointed to the meat bones on Yang Qiuchi's chopsticks, waved her hand, and said something vaguely. Yang Qiuchi didn't know what he was talking about, and asked, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" ”
