Chapter 76: Their Good Life
Tang Yourou didn't care, and smiled calmly: "We are all separated, so naturally we should call you Aunt Shen." Don't you know that we are no longer the Tang family? ”
"This ...... Rou girl, how can you, why do you just ignore the family's kindness to you like this?! Even if you split up, aren't you a child of the Tang family?! You are still surnamed Tang, and you have the blood of the Tang family in your bones......"
Shen Qiuyue's voice was weak, and her words were full of incomprehensible resentment, blaming her for how she could forget her roots like this.
Tang Yourou looked at her in surprise, faintly feeling ridiculous.
Didn't she just want to split up so that she didn't have anything to do with these people? If she has to cut and tidy up after the separation, why does she have to toss so blindly?
What's more, Shen Qiuyue herself is a victim of her family, just like a fanatical follower, who has worked hard, even her husband and son have paid for the Tang family, but she doesn't have this consciousness.
She is simply like a martyr under the framework of feudal foolishness and filial piety, unrepentant and obsessed with death.
Thinking of this, Tang Yourou shook his head and did not answer Shen Qiuyue.
Tang Jing ate quickly, as if she was extremely hungry, and did not participate in the topic of her mother and her.
Tang Yourou tore half of the cake and put it in her bowl: "Here you go, eat more, look at you are skinny, everyone is thin and out of shape." There are also more salted vegetables, and eating more salt is the only way to have strength. ”
Tang Jing raised her head, glanced at her in surprise, and slowed down her chewing. It is not clear in the eyes whether it is inferiority complex and defensiveness, or longing and surprise.
She was stunned for a moment before she smiled.
After the family was separated, they could live so well, with salt vegetables to eat and cakes to eat.
She had been to this dilapidated house before, and the main house was still cracked, and the wind was blowing in it, and it was cool in the summer when there was no sun. But once the sun came down, the room was as hot as a stove.
It is easy to rain in the mountains, and if it does, the house is no different from the outside, and it is all wet.
It was only a short time before they had scraped together enough money to repair the main house, and people came to mud. Although it is ugly and abrupt, this mud is very dense and will not fall, at least it is not afraid of winter.
There was no furnishings in this broken yard before, and there were always stacks of hemp straw for rubbing twine and straw ropes in the empty yard. And now, a chicken pen has been set up in the corner, and chickens and ducks are mixed in it, and they are chirping. There was also rice bran in the trough, all of them were round, very fat, and you could faintly see the broken eggs that were not taken away in time, and they were pecked by several chickens.
A few days ago, when she came to splash the blood of the black dog, the fence was still broken, and now it has been repaired, and several wooden shelves have been set up on the side, and a wooden board is placed, which seems to be used for drying things.
Then I heard from the young lady and Dou'er that they went up to the mountains to hunt a nest of rabbits and gave them to the uncle in the village. This uncle is really good to them, and will help them make cages.
What a wonderful life it is.
Why aren't you so lucky......
Tang Jing chewed the cake and suddenly felt a little sour in her throat.
"Soft girl, listen to the persuasion of the third uncle. Even if grandma treats you badly, you still have to recognize them. You can't forget your roots. Shen Qiuyue was still trying to persuade Tang Yourou, wanting her to remember the goodness of her family and make her filial and well-behaved, "You weren't like this before, why have you changed your personality now?" How docile and well-behaved your mother used to be. ”
"Aunt Shen, it's not early. I still have work to do, so I won't accompany me. Tang Yourou didn't want to waste any more saliva with her, swallowed the remaining half of the cake in a few bites, got up from the low table, and said, "You eat slowly, don't be in a hurry to leave." ”
Only Shen Qiuyue and Tang Jing were left at the low table.
The young lady and the bean are giggling by the stove.
Tang and Rou went to collect the herbs she had gathered.
There was a bonfire by the stove, and cow dung was poured from someone who asked for it, and the fire was very bright.
They're really doing well, but so what?
What she said was too obvious, and Shen Qiuyue naturally understood it. Staying here any longer, she also felt uncomfortable, so she urged Tang Jing to eat the cake quickly, and took her out of the broken house.
It was dark, and the countryside was full of potholes.
Shen Qiuyue rarely scolded a person angrily: "This kid wasn't like this before, why is he so unwell-behaved now?" ”
Song Ming asked her to come to Tang Yourou to borrow money, but she didn't even say anything about the money, so she was driven away.
How good is that?
Tang Jing listened to Shen Qiuyue's broken thoughts all the way, and didn't speak until she was about to return to the broken house, when she raised her head and gently tugged at the corner of Shen Qiuyue's clothes: "Mother, they are living comfortably." ”
"Xiaojing, why do you say that?" Shen Qiuyue didn't want the rest of the Tang family to hear their words, so she pulled her to stop outside the courtyard and lowered her voice, "Don't be so unfilial." If you don't have your grandma, you don't have you. ”
Tang Jing: "But, mother...... When I was doing laundry, I heard from others that my grandmother didn't return the bride price. I'm probably going to marry that old man soon......"
Shen Qiuyue took half a step back in a daze, her face was terrified, and she sobbed in a low voice: "But you are only thirteen years old!" You're only thirteen years old......"
Tang Jing was aggrieved and lowered her head: "Mother, the days I can accompany you are just a few days." I think the third sister is right, they are living freely now, they don't ask for anyone, only others come to ask for their share. If I had known this, I should have made a fuss like her. ”
Shen Qiuyue took her hand and scolded in a low voice, "You kid, how can you say such a thing? Make a fuss, then what can you do with your family affairs in the future? ”
Tang Jing cried quietly: "Even if I am so well-behaved, I still have to marry an old man who has died of my daughter-in-law." Who knows how his daughter-in-law died......"
"No, it's not." Shen Qiuyue was kind, but still smart, and guessed, "So, your grandmother took the silver from the bride price, so why didn't she take it out and give birth to a doll for your sister-in-law?" Girl, you must have heard it wrong, the bride price may have been returned. Your grandmother feels so sorry for her grandson that she is even willing to buy him the elixir, if she has money in her hand, it is impossible not to use it for her......"
"There really is no ......retreat," Tang Jing cried aggrievedly, "Everyone said so." My mother has always told me to be well-behaved and not to chew the root of my tongue. If I wasn't so sure, how could I be right? But it's really a sure thing. ”
Shen Qiuyue shook her head and muttered, "Then where did this bride price go?" If the money is still there, my mother can still go and refund you this family ......"
She seemed to think of something, and asked Tang Jing: "Is your second aunt very close to that Song matchmaker?" Could it be, did she take it and give it back to others? ”
