Xiaojing thought that Song Ming's conscience found that she didn't need to wash her cousin's clothes anymore, but she heard Song Ming instruct: "This is the best silk clothes, you have to be careful when you wash them!" The hands and feet are sharp, the champion will go to private school tomorrow, while the sun has not yet set, you will come back to dry after washing. If you damage this clothes, you will have to pay for yourself, do you hear? ”

This is to call her as a maid!

Xiaojing was indignant in her heart, but she didn't dare to attack, and replied sullenly: "Okay second uncle, I will be careful." ”

Song Ming didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her tone, and when she saw the eldest daughter-in-law sitting on the swing under the ginkgo tree retching, she didn't want to get close to her, so she went back to the house.

Yuan Qiufen, the eldest daughter-in-law who was pregnant with Liujia, felt the discordant atmosphere at home and felt uncomfortable in her stomach, which made her nauseous. Tang Yunfu, the boss of the Tang family, also heard the sound of gagging, and was extremely uncomfortable, so he said a few words to her.

Yuan Qiufen pulled the swing rope, snorted and cried, counting the dowry he brought to the Tang family, and counting how unconscionable his man was.

In order to be pure, Tang Yunfu went to the hospital to find his second brother who was injured in his leg.

Yuan Qiufen cried for a while and saw that no one paid attention to her, and also went back to the house.

When it was time for dinner, the big guys went home one after another, but no one cooked.

The old couple in the house fought for a while, and Tang Lao was too tired and came out to look for food, but when he saw that the stove was still cold, he scolded angrily: "Why doesn't the one who killed a thousand knives cook?" Do you want to starve people to death? I don't even bother to cook food, this delicious and lazy slut! ”

Everyone came out of the room, looking at each other, and no one dared to answer.

In the end, Song Ming broke the silence and whispered: "Mother, Qiuyue went to the fourth room with the hen in her arms, and she hasn't come back yet." Xiaojing went to the river to do laundry. ”

"Humph!" Mrs. Tang pointed at her angrily, "The second one's family, you come to hot rice, and don't give her food when they come back!" That's the price of not cooking! ”

Song Ming only said that he was unlucky, so he shouldn't speak, and reluctantly went back to the pile of debris under the stone mill to take out the bag of millet rice, and suddenly shouted: "Hey, why is there so much less millet all of a sudden, and when I cook porridge for Zhuangyuan at noon, it is not so much." ”

In fact, there is only a small handful, enough for three children in the fourth room to eat a few bites, which is not a lot less. It's just that Song Ming put more millet in order to cook for Tang Zhuangyuan at noon, and then he felt that the rice bag was suddenly less.

Mrs. Tang walked over and snatched the rice bag, weighed it and felt that it was too light, and scolded: "Shen Qiuyue, a money-loser who eats inside and out, actually steals the rice at home!" ”

Just scolding, Shen Qiuyue happened to come back, ran a few steps into the yard, returned the millet in the bag, and said, "I, I just want to help the children, I only took a little, they didn't ask for it, I took it back." ”

"You're a killer of a thousand knives, but your heart is really good! And take the rice from the public middle school to help those little calamities?! Just like this, it's clear that you ate it by yourself outside! "Mrs. Tang first smoked the pig just now, and then beat Old Man Tang, and she couldn't eat at this time, and her whole body wanted to be angry. She picked up the broom and whipped it at Shen Qiuyue, "Tell you to eat inside and out!" Tell you to steal the rice from the house! Tell you to move the Tang family's things! ”

Shen Qiuyue wailed and dodged in the yard, and was hit several times, and when she retreated, she tripped over a wood-chopping stake and fell to the ground.

The foot is broken.

After a while, her ankle was swollen like a hammer, and she couldn't work in the field for a few days.

Mrs. Tang kept scolding her, and in her scolding, Song Ming finished cooking in fear, and the rest of the people were silent, and no one spoke for Shen Qiuyue.

When Xiaojing returned home after washing her clothes, she saw the Tang family eating around the table, while her mother Shen Qiuyue sat on the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, holding her ankles and crying silently.

Xiaojing was only beaten like this by her grandmother because her mother gave her an extra handful of millet to the fourth room, and she was immediately aggrieved for her mother, and complained: "You shouldn't take care of the three in the fourth room!" ”

But those three children are facing such an embarrassment, how can the kind-hearted Shen Qiuyue bear it?

But it's too late to say that now. Even though she returned the millet back, she still didn't get Mrs. Donald's forgiveness. Her beating had nothing to do with these three children, it was simply that Mrs. Tang found out that there was a shortage of rice at home and wanted to find her angry.

Shen Qiuyue sat on the ground and rubbed her ankles: "Hurry up and help my mother up." It's just a broken foot, rub it and you'll be fine. ”

Xiaojing: "It's swollen like this, where is this?" I helped my mother to see the doctor! ”

Shen Qiuyue said sadly: "Doctor Yang only recognizes money, so he won't let us see it......"

The mother and daughter of the third room whispered to the mill, and at the other end of the dining table, Old Man Tang finished eating, took out ten taels of silver from the room with a gloomy face, and slapped it on the table.

For a while, the Tang family was silent.

A few people in the big room looked at the silver money in a daze, and a few people in the second room swallowed their saliva.

That's ten taels of silver!

"The third family, go and give them the money." When the old man had said this, he did not look at the silver again, and left the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and ran away in a melancholy manner.

He didn't even want to mention Tang and Rou's names now.

"Phew!" Mrs. Tang spat thick phlegm on his back, put down the dishes and chopsticks so hard that she couldn't even eat, and went back to the house angrily.

Shen Qiuyue's feet were swollen and she couldn't stand up, so she asked Xiaojing to send it.

Under the gaze of the others, Xiaojing wrapped the silver in a small pouch and stuffed it into the sleeve pocket. Suddenly, she thought of something, looked nervously at the Tang family sitting in the courtyard, and then at her mother sitting on the ground, made up her mind, and left in a hurry.

……

There was nothing else in the broken house, but there were a lot of crockpots. You must know that when the old Tang family was divided, the world was not so unpeaceful, and no one wanted these crockpots at that time, and after a long time, they were forgotten.

Tang and Rou washed the pots, filled half of the pots with chicken blood, sealed them with mud, and sank them into a well for refrigeration. The well water in late autumn is already very cold, and the temperature is enough to freeze the chicken blood into blood tofu.

For doctors who have studied dissection, even if the knife is blunt, as long as it is cut in the right position, it is easy to kill chickens. Dealing with blood products all day long, Tang and Rou also know the principle of blood deterioration and decay, and it is very easy to make some blood tofu for refrigeration.

Not long after Shen Qiuyue left, Tang Dou'er held the wild ginger and trotted all the way behind the fence. Looking at his relaxed expression, Li Zheng obviously didn't tell him much about Tang Zhuangyuan's bullying of them.

"Big sister, what is this? Is this a chicken? Is this really a chicken? Are we going to eat chicken tonight?! Big sister, am I dreaming? Is this really the chicken for us to eat? ”

Xiao Douding saw Tang and Rou plucking chicken feathers, and at first he was stunned, and at the end of the question, he jumped and talked at the same time, so excited that he almost jumped on the roof of the mud house.

"Yes, yes, chicken soup tonight, I'll tell you the reason later. You go and borrow some salt for me, I also need green onions, and it would be better if I had shiitake mushrooms. ”

Xiao Douding said happily: "Grandpa Lizheng's house has it!" They were cooking when I went! ”

Tang and Rou took the wild ginger, washed it neatly, cut it into slices and threw them into the two gong pots, leaving a few slices in the chicken soup to remove the fishiness: "Although we will remember the good of others, don't look at the wool in front of the family." I just saw that the yard of the crazy lady next door has green onions and mushrooms, so you can ask her for some. Remember to tell her that when the chicken soup is ready, we will share a bowl of soup with her. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Douding jumped over to the neighbor's house, just out of the fence, "Hey, why is the fourth sister here?" Big sister is cooking chicken soup! ”
