Chapter 102: Spring Breeze Triumphant
Mother Feng was lean, her eyes flickering, and she looked at Jiang Cheng'er and Zhao Sanpo vigilantly.
Jiang Cheng'er pinched a piece of soap and shook it in front of her, "Auntie, this is soap." ”
"Thank you, girl, give it to me." Feng Mu said politely, and couldn't wait to reach out to take it.
Jiang Cheng'er smiled and blinked: "Don't worry, auntie, we are particular about sending soap, every time we send a piece of soap, we need to collect a strand of the bride's hair, and take the auspicious meaning of "getting rich". ”
Mother Feng's eyes were shining: "A strand of hair for a piece of soap, then dare to be kind, I'll give you a handful of hair, do you give me all the soap." Wait a minute, I'll go and get my daughter-in-law's head off. ”
Jiang Cheng'er gritted her teeth, the greedy old woman, in order to get more soap, wanted to pull a handful of hair from her daughter-in-law's head, she thought it was grass, and she didn't treat her daughter-in-law as a human being at all.
Jiang Cheng'er said quietly: "Don't worry, auntie, I'm not a merchant who collects hair, why do you want so much." I have to choose the longest strand of hair in the middle of the bride's head and cut it myself, because someone else will ruin my fortune. ”
The ugly things in his own family can't be seen by outsiders, Feng's mother glared: "It's really troublesome, forget it!" I don't want soap, you guys go. ”
"I said this old lady, you don't want any good things for free, what do you think? A piece of soap is five cents, our boss is generous, and he will give it to his new daughter-in-law when he sees him, but I feel distressed to death.
People in your village are rushing to buy soap by the river, do you know why? The soap is scented, which not only removes dirt, but also eliminates bad luck. You don't pull down, let's go. "Zhao Sanpo wants to capture the past.
Feng's mother was greedy for money, but she was worried, if the soap could really get rid of bad luck and get rid of her son's illness, it would be great.
Mother Feng immediately spoke up and changed her enthusiastic face: "Please stay, you wait a minute, I will let my daughter-in-law comb her hair first." ”
"Hurry up, we're in a hurry." Zhao Sanpo urged.
Mother Feng tried her best to curry favor and asked Jiang Cheng'er not to leave, she went and came back quickly, saying that she trotted into the yard.
Jiang Cheng'er widened the gap in the fence door and looked inside.
I saw Feng's mother running back to the back room, calling her husband out, and the two dragged out a dirty person from the pigsty.
From this point of view, Jiang Cheng'er couldn't see this person's face clearly, it was estimated that it was Jiang Manman.
Feng's father pressed Jiang Manman to sit on a broken chair in the courtyard, and Feng's mother quickly took out a quilt with her hands and feet, wrapped Jiang Manman tightly, and covered her with a veil, and wiped her hair roughly and combed it.
Jiang Manman was silent during the whole process, letting him fiddle, and it was estimated that his mouth was blocked.
Feng's mother ran over to open the door, Jiang Cheng'er took out a pair of black scissors for self-defense from the bucket, and followed into the courtyard.
The new daughter-in-law, who was sitting on the chair without moving, saw Jiang Cheng'er, and her eyes were cloudy and dull, and they were suddenly full of shock.
Her eyes rolled wildly, and a whining sound came out of her mouth, and her body writhed in the cocoon-like quilt, trying to break free from Feng's father's grip.
The cousins have lived together for many years, and just by the eyes that are exposed, Jiang Cheng'er can also conclude that she is Jiang Manman.
Mother Feng pressed Jiang Manman's shoulder hard, turned her back to Jiang Cheng'er and Zhao Sanpo, and warned Jiang Manman not to move with fierce eyes.
Feng's mother turned around and explained with a smiling face, "My daughter-in-law occasionally feels cold, wrapping the quilt to cover her sweat, girl, you cut it quickly, and I will send her back to the house to rest after cutting." ”
"I see, no wonder such a strange dress scared me." Jiang Cheng'er pretended not to know, and waved the scissors in front of Jiang Manman's eyes.
Jiang Manman trembled with fright, her eyes showed extreme horror, and she didn't know where Jiang Cheng'er was going to cut her.
"This little sister-in-law is not afraid, she just cuts her hair." Jiang Cheng'er knew that she was frightened last night, and she couldn't bear to scare her anymore.
No, she didn't want to cut off her hair and become a nun, Jiang Manman struggled.
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law held her hard from left to right, making her unable to move.
During the struggle, Jiang Cheng'er found that Jiang Manman had a purple strangulation mark on his neck, as if he was wearing a collar, which should have been strangled by a rope when he was hanging last night.
Jiang Cheng'er sighed, touched Jiang Manman's head, and found that her hair was hidden with mud and blood stains that had not been wiped clean. If this is still the case on the head, the place where the body was beaten must be even worse.
In order to cover up, Feng's mother simply wrapped Jiang Manman with a quilt, trying to cover up the crimes they committed.
Jiang Cheng'er's movements were gentle, and Jiang Manman's fear was reduced a little.
Jiang Cheng'er remembered a picture from her childhood, she was broken by a drunken scumbag, and her face was bleeding all over her face.
Cousin Jiang Manman was so frightened that she cried, shook her hands to wipe her blood, blew on her head, and read in her mouth, "Sister Orange, it doesn't hurt......"
The floodgates of memory opened, and childhood memories came flooding back, many of which were related to Jiang Manman.
Cousins who grew up together and were quite close, and I don't remember when they started to become estranged. It was probably after Jiang Manman had a crush on Lu Cheng, she hated because of jealousy and bullied Jiang Cheng'er everywhere.
"Hey, what are you doing, why don't you cut it quickly!"
Feng Mu let out a cold sigh, interrupting Jiang Cheng'er's memories.
"Don't worry, auntie, I'm not looking for the best strand of hair." Jiang Cheng'er clicked the scissors down, and a small strand of hair fell down.
She pretended to be careless, and with a slip of her hand, the sharp tip of the scissors cut through the veil.
Feng Mu was in a hurry and wanted to press the broken side of the veil with her hand, but she pulled it off as soon as she used force.
Jiang Manman's face was revealed, and although Jiang Cheng'er was mentally prepared, she was still startled.
Jiang Manman's nose and face are blue and swollen, and her skin is broken in some places, which shows how much she suffered last night.
Jiang Manman was a little embarrassed, her depressed appearance was seen by Jiang Cheng'er. At the moment, she can't care so much, it is important to get out of the fire pit.
Her mouth was blocked with a cloth, and she couldn't speak, so she could only make a muffled snort and ask Jiang Cheng'er for help with her eyes.
Jiang Cheng'er understood, and motioned to Jiang Manman to be calm.
Mother Feng reacted and quickly explained: "My daughter-in-law accidentally fell last night, and the poor child's face was swollen. The wound on my mouth was oozing blood, and I found a cloth to plug it. ”
The old woman is quite good at quibbling, Father Feng doesn't seem to be a good stubble, Jiang Cheng'er estimated her combat value, and she will definitely not be able to beat this tough old couple.
Besides, on the territory of their village, even if they can beat them, they can't take Jiang Manman away.
You can't directly confront it, you have to think of another way to find reinforcements to come.
Jiang Cheng'er casually made up a set of rhetoric: "But be careful, a fall seems like a trivial matter, but sometimes it can cause problems, especially women." A woman in our village woke up at night and fell unconscious on the mud floor and woke up the next day.
She slept on her stomach outside for a night, caught a cold, and fell into a stomachache, which directly affected her childbirth, and she had been married for several years and was not pregnant, which made her mother-in-law anxious. ”
Feng's mother was frightened, and threw her daughter-in-law into the cold pigsty last night, so as not to cool her stomach and affect the birth of children. finally got a daughter-in-law, she has already been taught a lesson in disobedience, and she can't be tossed out of trouble.
Zhao Sanpo took out a piece of soap and gave it to Feng's mother.
Jiang Cheng'er said goodbye and glanced at Jiang Manman without a trace before leaving.
Jiang Manman was so anxious that he whimpered, and thought angrily, Dani just left, completely ignoring her life or death, and counting on her for a beating.
Can't she see that the wound on her face is not a knock, but a beating?
What to send soap, maybe Dani came over to see her own jokes, lack of morality!
Jiang Cheng'er walked out of the door of Feng's house, and could vaguely hear a series of coughing sounds coming from the house.
The sound was like a dilapidated bellows, constantly rubbing in and out, suffocating to the point of almost suffocation, making people feel that the leprosy ghost might not be able to cough up at any time and suffocate to death.
"Alas, to put it mildly, this person is a short-lived ghost, your cousin's life is miserable, and the widow's life is life."
Zhao Sanpo sighed, "The Feng family is really vicious, beating people to death, look at your cousin's pitiful appearance with a blue nose and swollen face, if you hadn't stopped me, I really wanted to reason with them." ”
Jiang Cheng'er said calmly: "Don't be impulsive, you can't reason with them, not only can't help Jiang Manman, but traps the two of us in it." Aunt Zhao, you sell the rest of the soap, I will rush back to the village first, tell her parents the real situation, and let them make up their minds. ”
"I see that you have said it in vain, the water spilled by the married daughter, her parents know that she is married to a sick seedling, and they know that she was beaten all over her body, and it is impossible to take her back to her parents' house.
What's more, she still changed her parents, and as soon as she left, his brother's marriage was yellow. Zhao Sanpo shook her head.
Jiang Cheng'er sighed, ancient women's lives were thinner than paper, who cared about their life or death, they were just goods for their parents to exchange money or seek benefits, and their parents didn't care if they married an alcoholic or a short-lived ghost.
Jiang Cheng'er condensed: "Since I bumped into her, I can't ignore it, I am only responsible for telling her parents, as for how to deal with it, it is their business." ”
Zhao Sanpo was indignant: "It's all to blame on the damned matchmaker, who said that the black one was white with a clear conscience, and how many girls were harmed." I must expose her evil deeds so that more girls will suffer. ”
Jiang Cheng'er rushed all the way back to Peach Blossom Village and went straight to Jiang's house.
This familiar place, she has never been back since she moved out, and she doesn't want to come back.
Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were in the courtyard, drying their clothes and chatting.
"Sister-in-law is so blessed, look at Jiang Shouxiao's affection and love, you should rest assured now, maybe, you will be able to hold your eldest grandson at the end of the year." Jiang Sanniang's mouth was like honey.
Mrs. Jiang smiled heartily, and said worriedly, "I am relieved on Shou'er's side, but there is still Manman, the child has a stubborn temper, and he is afraid that he will be wronged if he goes to his mother-in-law's house." ”
Jiang Cheng'er coughed lightly and strode into the courtyard.
When the two suddenly saw Jiang Cheng'er coming, they were both stunned in surprise.
"Yo, Dani, my aunt's good niece, which gust of wind blew you here? It should be the spring breeze, and Dani's niece is now proud of the spring breeze, and the money is bright. ”
